Washington Coming—Educator Will Study New York Negro in Tour of the City—Hampton Holds Fort-seventh Anniversary — Ex-President Taft Speaks—Miss Nannie Burroughs Speaks at St. Mark's Lyceum—Freeman Correspondent Off to Attend New Jersey Conference—Hon. Charles W. Anderson Addresses B. Y. P. U. Allen's National News Bureau, 250 W. 42nd St. NEW YORK CITY, April 25—One who has made a gifted Nigro musicians and composers of the race, and one who has made a pronounced place in the music world, Mr. Lawrence Freeman of this city, Prof. Freeman has been well trained for his life's work, and it may be safe in sayings that he has made a more distinctession who have won a more distinct place in American music than he. He has experienced and has made plays in the front rank, and has doubtless more serious productions to his credit than any other Negro composer. He has an experienced and a notice fine in the life of an Nigro correspondent on the young composer at his studio, 126 West 138th Street, of his making preparations for the many pupils he has. He conducts the Freeman School of Music where a thorough music education may be acquired. The school has become one of the most reliable in this city, and is doing much to develop the musical aspliration of the young people he has. In talking to your correspondent, Prof. Freeman stumbled to the idea of bringing back for the reproduction of his first opera, "The Martyr," which was produced in 1910 by a Negro company several years ago. In presenting this opera Prof. Freeman directed the race up the level of the opera and the best in music. Prof. Freeman educated in the public schools of that city. The background of his profession and orchestra, was received under the tutelage of Jonborn Beck, director of the overture symphony orchestra. He underlined him with Edwin Schonehart. He began his musical ca- PROF. H. LAWRI reer in Cleveland as an artist at the Mt. Zion Congregational church in 1882 he produced the first Negro opera with a Negro company in the city of Denver, and from that date his rise in the music industry was called to Wilberforce University where he remained two years. While at this institution, Prof. Freeman brought a group of African students to the school, and made a study of African music. He was assisted in this work by a number of African students at the school in 1905 he took charge of the muscney end of the Ernest Hogan Rufus Rastus school, and he was a side of the show's work up to a high standard. He then became the conductor of the Red Moon Company, and was instrumental in the musical chorus of this famous troupe easily placed him in the forefront of American conductors. A feathered fan of his training while with the Red Moon Company was the Lilley gifted singers of the race, among them being Anna Cooke Pankey, George Harvey, Henry Troy and J. Francis McCormack. He has devoted himself to the more serious productions, and his compositions, man or them based on Negro life and his life long after the composer is gone. His grand opera numbers include a wide repertoire, among them are "Lives of the Migrants" by long cycle play "The Plantation" and "Tyrst," "D vendetta," "African Krall" and "Yazoo River." These numbers bring out the fine musical background of the play, a pride of the ablest musical critics. Prof. Freeman retired from the theatrical career several years ago, and he is now the principal education of his race. He told your correspondent that he would spend the rest of his life developing musical associations that he aimed to make The Freeman School of Music a distinct credit to the Negro life of this city. He is one of the most successful scholars in this city, and gives over a one hundred and fifty lessons a week. Several months ago he organized The Negro Choral Society which consists of 75 voices. This organization has already won favor with the New York public, and had the distinction of singing at the municipal Christmas tree in Madison Square Garden two years ago. Some of the most prominent people of both races were present at this exercise, and the appearance of these Negro singers was easily the feature of the exercise. Prof. Freeman is ably assisted in his work by his cultured young wife, Mrs. Carlotta Freeman, who is one of the most gifted singers of the race. They have one son, Valdo, who possesses a beautiful voice, and who is an adept on the violin. Prof. Freeman is a cultured young man, and the many honors he has won and the success he has made he takes as a synomn for harder work. Booker T. Coming. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the noted educator, is scheduled for four addresses in this city Sunday afternoon.

One of the most interesting events in the life of Hampton Institute is its annual event, the week which is looked forward to on the part of the students and friends of the school with keen interest. Last week the institution held its forty-seventh anniversary of Hampton and information reached the bureau that was one of the most notable held since the institution began. As usual a large number of visitors both from the North and the South were present, and made the usual inspection of the grounds of the buildings of the institution. The visitors were entertained and instructed and had Hampton instruction demonstrated to them by members of the graduating class, who made addresses preceding those of the regular speakers. Alexander E. Brantley was his son, by, and president of the National Hampton Association, carried from interested in the work of Hampton. Among the speakers were ex-president Taft, who praised Hampton for the constructive work it is doing and it was a solution to the individual development. Others were spoke were Rev. Dr. W. T. Merrill, Eben Olcott, Julius Rosenwald, Francis G. Peabody, W. S. Melton, Dr. Henry Sionae Coffin and Job E. Hedges. Miss Nannie Burroughs Speaks. ENCE FREEMAN track, "Don't let 'em left you." Miss Burroughs said that was her advice to her race, "Don't let 'em left you." Miss Burroughs is a remarkable woman. Five years ago she established a training school for girls in Washington, but today she is lying by, but today the institution is valued at $600,000, and has students from 26 states and five foreign countries. Miss Burroughs in talking to your correspondent, said she was enlisted in the guest of white women's organization. Correspondent Off to Attend Conference. Cleveland G. Allen, the newspaper correspondent, will leave the city on Wednesday for Somerville, New Jersey to attend the second annual session of the New Jersey conference of which Bishop G. W. Clinton is the head. For the past month he has been the conference of this connection meeting in this section and he is well known to the men. This is one of the most important connections, and this year there will be many vital matters to engage the attention of the correspondent who will return to his post next week, and will then map out his itinerary for the summer. While at conference he will represent the Indianapolis Freeman by securing subscriptions. Hon. Charles W. Anderson Speaks. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, who was appointed ten years ago to the responsible post of collector of internal revenue for that number of years held the office with honor and success, spoke before the Young People's Ministry Merville Blythe last Sunday afternoon. One of the largest gatherings in the history of the church was held on Monday to rate his experiences during his long term of office. He said that he was glad he made a success of the office and represented it in race he represented. He told how he brought the office up from the fifth in the list to the sixth in the list, the office it was first in point of efficiency. In telling of some of the challenges he faced, he said he left in office two colored deputies getting $1,600 a year, two deputies getting $1,400 a year, and two deputies receiving $700 a year. The departmentdered his race will culminate in testimonials in which the most prominent men of this city are interested in the department. Dr. Hayes presided at the exercises. CLEVALAND G. ALLEN.

She died at her home Tuesday, April 20, at 6:45 p.m. When the public was in the church the order of Eastern Star, led by Matron Mrs. M. J. Stayfield, furnished a guard of honor as the cor- theater of the school was the first of the first followed by the Order of Eastern Star. The choir sang, "Nearer My God to Thee." The pastor read psalms 23 and 39, and Rev. The choir was so well-written as was read from the different church auxilliaries. The choir then sang "It Is Well with My Soul." The pastor, Rev. W. W. Brown, was the first of the first followed by the Order of Eastern Star, followed by the Order of the church. The choir was a splendid tribute was paid to the Deceased as the Reverend of the Church, the on the life of the Apostle Paul. Among the many good things he said: "Sister Davis left no particular dying testimony to the special writing of the choir. I was farewell me this page, to the church, but on the other hand, Sister Davis has left a memory of him and his children and were devotion for her home and family, and filled with service for her church and God. It was not an effort on her part to be a great woman." The choir was so well-written as was so so well as the last and recognized and conversed with her husband and friends in the same bed. The choir sang, "Asleep with a smile," and the Order of Eastern Star conducted their burial service, led by the Worthy Matron and the choir. Standfield and Mr. Fred Minor, first, was made in Greenlawn cemetery. NEGROES IN THE UNITED STATES Increase in Population—Urban and Rural Communities Interstate WASHINGTON, D. C. April 12—The bulletin on Negroes in the United States, written by Sam L. Rogers, of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, indicates that there has been among Negroes an increasing tendency toward a higher rate of school attendance in the percentage of school attendance, a pronounced decrease in the percent mortality rate, and a decrease in the proportion of church membership. This bulletin, which is a special compendium of information from the Thirteen Census and from dorn inquiries conducted by the Census Bureau, brings together the information on the principal data pertaining to the Negro race which are in the possession of the bureau. The work is presented in tables as well as all the clerical work, was done by Negro employs. Increase in Negro Population. The Negro population of the United States increased from 757,708, or 19.3 per cent of the total population, in 1790 to 817,708, or 22.1 per cent of the total population, in 1910. The increase between 1900 and 1910 was at the rate of 2.1 per cent per year during the white population increased by 22.3 per cent. Since 1810 there has been a continuous decrease in 'he proportion' which Negroes have formed of the total population at the start, to the fact that the white population has been continually augmented since 1810. The very little immigration of Negroes during the past hundred years. The largest Negro population in cypress forests in Georgia was 176,987; Mississippi was second, with 1,009,487; and Alabama third, with 980,000. Of the 9,827,763 Negroes in the United States in 1910, 7,777,077, or 79.1 per cent, were reported as of pure Negro population, with 6,929,077, or 90.4 per cent being classed as 'mulattoes'. For census purposes this term covers all persons of mixed white and Negro races. The figures indicate a continuous increase in the percentage of mulattoes during the past forty years. Density and Center of Negro Population 300-400 In Mississippi and South Carolina the Negro population was more than 50 percent and 55.2 per cent, respectively, and in Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida the percentages ranged from 41, respectively. In each of fifty-three counties, scattered throughout the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee, at least 75 per cent of the total population was Negro in 1910. Of the Southern states, the percentage was as high as 5, the percentage of Negroes was only 5.3, the there were only five other Northern states—New Jersey, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana—in which the proportion of Negroes exceeded 2 per cent. The "center of population" for the Negro race in the United States is now 1790. In the state of Fort Payne, DeKalb County, in north eastern Alabama. Its movement ever since 1790 has been in a southwesterly direction, and in 1910 it moved only 5.8 miles to the west-southwest, while during the same period the center of total population moved 39 miles to westward. Negroes in Urban and Rural Communities. The percentage of Negroes in rural communities—that is, outside of incorporation of 2,500 inhabitants or more—decreased from 80.2 in 1890 to 77.3 in 1900 and to 72.6 in 1910. The corresponding percentage of Negroes in urban areas were 63.9 in 1890, 65.9 in 1900, and 53.7 in 1910. There are 42 cities each of which had more than 10,000 Negro inhabitants in 1910. Ten of these cities lie outside of the Southern states. The total Negro population in the Southern states was 1,341,468. Washington stood at the head of this list with a Negro population of 94,446, while New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania occupied second, third, fourth and fifth places, with 91,709, 89, 262, 84,749 and 84,459, respectively. The percentage of Negroes in the United States between 1900 and 1910, however, was lower than for most of the other cities in the list, being only 8.9. The proportionately, was shown by Birmingham, Ala., whose Negro population increased by 35,780, 35,780, and 34,970. Philadelphia showed the next largest numerical gains, 31,043 and 21,486, respectively, the rates of increase for these cities being 51.2 per cent and 34.9 per cent, respectively. Ninety-nine and two-tenths per cent of all Negroes in the United States were natives of native parentage, only four-tenths of 1 per cent being foreign parentage. Of the 40,333 foreign-born natives of 1 per cent were natives of foreign, or mixed native and foreign parentage. Of the 40,333 foreign-born natives of 1 per cent were or a trifle more than 60 per cent came from Cuba and the West Indies. Only 473 were born in Africa. Of the 40,333 foreign-born natives in the United States is on the basis of 98.9 males to 100 females, while for the native whites of native parentage the percentages are closer. The statistics show a tendency on the part of the Negroes to marry at earlier ages than whites. This is because the whites clearly select centages which married, widowed and divorced persons, taken as a group, of the total numbers between the ages of 33.6 for Negroes and 27 for whites. Interstate Migration. Interstate migration is apparently less extensive among the Negro population than among the white native Negroes in the United States were living in the states in which they were born, while only 77.5 per cent of the American population were residing in their native states. Twelve states—Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, Mississippi Louisiana, Delaware and Maine —have lost more than they have gained migration through interstate migration while all of them have have gained more than they have lost the first-named three states where losses of the 206,764; South Carolina, 121,479; North 48,104; South Carolina, noteworthy fact that the greatest net gain to gro population from this cause, 105,318, shown by Arkansas, a Southern state.

Closing address by Bishop C. S. Smith, D. D., LL. D. As to that recordership of deed business at Washington, D. C., we are inclined to think that Bishop Walters is a new Barkis. He is willin' Not that we understand that he has been offered the place. He just naturally likes politics. The inference is that he also likes the awards of politics. What do you think of it? Donn Roberts, formerly mayor of Terre Haute, Ind., now a prisoner at Leavenworth, Kans., expects a Negro lawyer to get him out of the toils by the habeas corpus route. It is said that this lawyer is noted for his success in habeas corpus proceedings. The story may be true, but it don't jingle right. "The Birth of a Nation," the moving picture that has caused the down East sensation, is not "locatable" this week. It is a regular Kron Prinz of a proposition—may be laying up for repairs. When it takes midocean again (the pictures) the scouts will be on the move. The voyage is promised and when there isn't a thing the matter with the elements. While struggling upwards it would be well not to forget that our circumstances are the best of our race variety. We do not owe this to ourselves, a rather shameful admission, but absolutely to those with whom we are still contending for more liberty. We do not mean that we should be satisfied at this stage of progress and no further contend. We mean that we should now and then secretly rejoice because of what we were and what we now are. This joy added to the natural agony of men at times because of man's inhumanity to man should average a beautiful calm at the most while, meaning the making of our way along the line of the least resistance to the most satisfactory situation that is ours to attain. The march is on and as strong as the Amazon to the sea. There may be deflection at times that retard, but while lingering in weakness here, strength is gained elsewhere. The old natural philosophical law fits our case to a nicety, that what is lost in velocity is gained in power. Robert T. Lincoln, chairman of the board of directors of the Pullman Company, has come to the conclusion that the wage system of the company trailing. It pays $27.50 a month as salaries to the porters, making it necessary that they get theirs otherwise. This otherwise is the well known tipping system which has its advantages and drawbacks. Mr. Lincoln is the son of the late lamented President Lincoln. He seems to have a father's kindly spirit, cherishing his memory in this respect, the regard for the Negroes. He said that the wage system was antiquated and had given him considerable annoyance. He stated a truth when he said that the employment afforded the Negro by the Pullman Company has been one of the most uplifting opportunities the race has had. The Pullman Company has been a Godsend to many young Negroes who wished to be something. It was their only bank account, and on which they drew to help themselves through schools from which they emerged as doctors, dentists, lawyers, ministers and business men, not to speak of the thousands who have become prosperous though untitled citizens. AT THE HAGUE. The International Women's Peace Congress now in session at The Hague is a very needy congress. If it succeeds in its work the greatest blessing possible will be due the women, and the world will also receive its greatest blessing. At no time in the world's history has there been such turmul, such a general upheaval as is now on. Latter day civilization has made for peculiar disaster, and which is so widespread that it should sound its own death note—this war should sound its own death note. Men have not been very liberal in their views concerning woman's suffrage, and it stands to reason because of what custom has taught. Men will be forced to greatly modify their views if it turns out that it falls to the lot of women to interdict the great slaughter of human kind that is now going on—to put a ban on it for all time to come. The imaginary mind can easily conceive, in the event of success, that they were reserved to this day, to play the best card in human affairs at the most needy time. Should their labor be crowned with success it will be easy to think of them, in their new movement, the suffragette movement, as prepared for this day as Abraham Lincoln was prepared for his day, as Jesus Christ was prepared for His day. If divinity is an actual daily factor in the affairs of men we will be forced to believe that the women are to play some important part in the world's affairs. Complicated citizenship in countries of advanced civilization has spontaneously suggested and advised their coming, then, if we will hold that divinity entrusts our destiny to our sweet wills. It seems to be one or the other, and in either event the result is divine if they defeat and beat back the program of woe which their brothers insist on enacting. Indeed, these brothers do not seem to care how charged with punishment is the scroll. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud; Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but bowed. —Henley. This is a most fitting apostrophe to the present war and to the state of mind of those managing it. It may be all right as the sentiment of an individual standing for the individual in opposition to injustice and oppression. It is no creed for the millions in great divisions of units. In all of this there is wrong and cruelty which finds no law of justification. The women at The Hague, we hope, will put a new song in the mouths of men. Art seizes on women as the subject of its symbols when picturing the goody attributes, and sometimes the meaner ones, but nevertheless it is woman. She is justice, love, mercy, The Fates, The Furies. Should she be the means of peace at The Hague, Peace will be her peculiar emblem; not because artists have chosen to make it so, but because she has won it being in her own dishounting bloodshed on the own day counting once the vain glorious of the world's combined wars. A news dispatch speaking of the conference says: Besides the 866 Dutch delegates, the gathering, which was presided over by Aletta Jacobs, comprised fifty-one people from Denmark, the Netherlands, nline from Denmark, five from Belgium (who arrived by special permission), nline from Chill, thorsties), nline from Hungary, twelve from Sweden, fifteen from Norway, twelve from Germany, two from Great Britain, five from Chill, Armenia, Italy and Canada. Many touching addresses were made the burden of which was more love to the world of mankind. Peace was the keynote, and which none forgot to sound. They overlooked the lines that marked them off as separate races, insisting on viewing the world of womankind as a sisterhood. All women, at heart, are for peace, said they, and such is the fact, yet obdurate man would see it otherwise. And because it was the world we are moving up, as if to fulfill the oft repeated saying that the first shall be last. A SHABBY TURN. To the Editor of The Freeman: I want to make this public statement to the friends of this city, who so generously helped me in my recovery. The Spencer Recital February 14th such a whelming success in order to inform them as to the facts in the case regarding her leaving the city so suddenly a new one. Miss Spencer came to me a few months ago and asked me to assist in her recovery. In order that she might be able to get a harp, so that she might have some opportunity to noted harpist, but that she had no one to help her. Thinking her worthy and sincere I came to her. They generously responded and the recital was a success, I succeeding in raising from the recital $182.50. After that she was a balance of $140 left. I added to this amount $160 to make out the $300 first payment required in order that she be able to go, that she preferred coming to me. I told her that I had been so badly deserved in girls that I did not want to take her. She continued to come here for two months and begged my forelace, Miss P. Kelley to plead with me in her bed. I to I at last decided to give her a home. After she had been here about six weeks, I was given a own family, not outstanding I was paying her a salary of $6.00 per week, without any provocation whatever, she was the house on Monday noon, saying that she had to get something for the headache and would return in a few minutes. She was on Tuesday morning at 6 a.m. before any of us were down stairs and stole out everything she had, including the harp, which I had given bond for to the man. Had she intimated that she was dissatisfied, I would have willingly given her a bond, consented for her to take the harp. The only thing I would have done was to have been released from the bond. She had no reason for this action, as I was not a cross word the whole time she was here. Now I want to say and this is final. I am through helping so-called worthy people. I will be besieged by people for help, either individuals, or by letter, and as near as I could, have tried to reason with them, the future all appeals will be turned down and letters consigned to the waste basket. tours, MMU, WALKER. The public, doubtless, will be very much surprised to know that Madame Walker has been so shabbly treated after having done what she did for the young lady. We are going on the presumption that the facts in the case are as the Madame gives them. Of course, there are two sides to every question, and this one is not different. But we can not conceive of what the young lady can answer to what appears a plain array of facts. That she left the Madame in the lurch for the harp is the most painful thing. How can the young lady explain this away? If she is really guilty of all of which she is charged she has very much to answer for. Madame Walker is known for her benevolence. The poor and needy have not appealed to her in vain. She has set the pace in all the greater movements for good, taking the part of many instead of one. Whatever may be the private notions of her bounty we all know that she has come clean in her promises; no shady transaction is traced to her since she has been among us. We know of her as one who merits the highest consideration. Lady bountiful is her other name and with the thought goes that of wholesome interest in whatever of good goes on among us. We do not like the conclusion of her complaint where she says she is through. This is the bitterest speech that has ever come from her. Yet, we ask, can you blame her? After having paid $160 additional on the harp to make up the $300 she finds herself faced with an indebtedness of $700 THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. more. We can't blame her very much. We hope that she will keep on in the same sweet way, dispensing charities, giving alms, feeling that she does not make a tamer. That offender does notaint the whole race. POLITICAL OFFICES. The Indianapolis Star in an editorial Monday had it that Senator Kern is reported as having given assurance that Bishop Alexander Walters, if appointed recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, will be confirmed by the Senate. This may have been the report, but we understood it different. However, what was said was of some value, in that the publication gave its estimate of the Bishop, holding that he could not afford to take the office because of his worth in his present capacity. Following is what the Star had to say of the bishop: That will appeal to some of the bishop's friends as good news and to others as no cause for congratulation. Politicians and some thoughtless people will consider such an appointment as a good view of the bishop's ability, will be inclined to the opinion that the appointment will mean a waste of his time. Bishop Walters has been a leader among the colored men of the generation. He has served as bishop of his denomination more than twenty-three years. He has served as a vice president of the president of the Afro-American Council. He repeatedly has acted as delegate to religious councils, both native and foreign, and an active factor in many of the movements for the uplift of the members of his race. He is a men and is a power for good in a cause needing men of capacity. No doubt he would make a good record, but he is not another colored men who could do as well in the place. It seems too bad to bury a man of such wide ability and experience, but might be filled by almost any man of average intelligence. The bishop owes it to himself and to his fellow men to Bishop Walters, doubtless, will be pleased to know that such a faithful tab has been kept on him, especially since the recital is so compilatory. The report as we understand it was that if a Negro was selected, that he would be confirmed. The president was speaking to the bishop. It may be that the distinguished churchman is the man in view. It is not the first time that his name has been connected with the receivership of recorder of deeds of Washington, D. C. In spite of the bishop's usefulness to his church and race as he is, it is very well known that it is exceedingly difficult for him to resist the glamour of politics; If real, actual politics, speecheaking and all that to go make up the life it would be just like him to accept the office of recordship of deeds were it tendered him. His brother churchmen of the bench, more than once, have had to sit down on him, owing to his political activity. This activity is not to be thought of as pernicious, but it was thought to be too aggressive for a churchman of his standing. He plead the race cause, always, as his defense, and always won over his challengers to his way of thinking. And the bishop has maintained his position most thoroughly, that he was fighting the battles of the race through politics. Since the necessity for doing so has ever been more or less apartent he had an easy case to win. Speaking of Negroes being appointed to office under this administration, we said at another time there was not much reason for hope. President Wilson in his effort to win the office led the Negroes to hope for too much. They are not to be blamed for their great trust in a possible president. This possible president when promising consideration before the election pledged himself as a gentleman and a Christian to see to it that the Negro would fare well at his hands. Mr. Trotter, when in Indianapolis, called attention to Mr. Wilson's splendid attitude, promising more of the expected terms. Mr. Trotter said that the president's repudiation of his "contract" was stunningly complete, and for that reason he broke away from the party. Bishop Walters, it appears, has not sufficient reason to recant his alliance. However, he became weak-kneed, sulked in his tent, to be called out in this hour when the battle is waging sore against the administration. We also said at another time that the offices were not so much desired by the race in general as proper civil consideration for the whole race. We had in mind segregation and similar great civil illies which are so destructive to manhood. The offices, of course, are desired in the sense that they are signs of that same civil consideration, not that they should be at the expense of greater race freedom. In this connection we hold that the president should maintain and show the same respect that his predecessors have shown, especially those of his own party—the one in the instance, Grover Cleveland. Mr. Wilson is quoter as broad and scholarly. Such men know that the treatment that makes and unmakes a people. For themselves they accept nothing, for themselves less citizenship, seeing that no man a single right which does not also inhere in themselves. Our race is asking the thing theoretically, knowing that there is much that prevents the practical working of the rule. Mr. Wilson was very thoughtful in getting a Negro post-haste to Liberia, Africa. So far our case rested right there. If it were his policy to send Negroes to where they were wanted, he did his theory violence by sending a white man to Haytai, a land of Negroes. His administration is very impolite in that it does not give one or two first-class positions to the race. It cannot feel greatly in sympathy with the country if it is continually being politically shocked. Why not have our friendship when the cost is high. There is evidence right now that every mother's son of us is needed for our country. If we are studiously alienated, what can result but alienation? We are very thankful to our own Senator Kern and other Democrats of Congress who have fought the program of the new enslavement from the beginning of the present administration until the present time. But in spite of their valor in battling for us we may charge some of our salvation to those very over clouds which so generously over Europe and which dulls the brightness of the day around the globe. It has taught the lesson that every mother's son of us is needed for the defense of home. Rev. Aaron W. Puller and Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter, who was arrested during the demonstration in Boston swung to the production of the picture play. "The Birth of a Nation," was acquitted of the charges of inciting a riot and disturbing the peace. The judge said that the two persons responsible for the near riot were the policeman in plain clothes who struck Mr. Trotter and the ticket seller at the theatre who drew the color line. He stood firmly for the colored people. RUBE FOSTER'S GIANTS WIN AGAIN. CHICAGO, Ill., May 5.—(Special)—The American Giants proved on Sunday that they are not only an infield team of the first water but can hit. The Gunthers are the crackers in the (white) and came on in the Southside purposely to defeat Mr. Foster and his prize winners. It was another shutout. Foster's "boys" with Gateway in the box trimmed the visitors 5 to 0. The usual 6,000 crowd was not present on account of the clouds being heavy and looking like rain, which it did at the close of the fifth inning. Mr. Gateway was in fine form. His charming wife sat in the box and saw him as he would twirl the ball across home plate and Geokle would yell, strike! He had his game won in the third inning. The visitors could not see Mr. Gateway but the Giants oversaw Mr. Brown for the Gunthers when our boys got four hits and four scores and brought in another in the fourth inning.

Y., Good clothes? Yes. Mabel Bant is one of the finest figures on the stage—superb is the word. Then that voice and air—regu-Parisian. Her steps are in keeping. Alberta Perkins is also a fine stage persona. She takes to the comedy stage, and she makes up much of it as she goes along. She makes it all stick. She is rollicking funny—laughs and make you laugh, making up much of it as she goes along. They open with, "Want to Linger." Miss Perkins sings "My Loving Man," and as only she can sing it. Miss Perkins sings "You Great Big Bashful Doll" in a very pleasing way. They close with "Steamboat Alabama." Sung with should expression. Both costumed well. The Two Sweils, Wille and Lulu, are a favorite team at this theatre, and their first appearance each night. Lulu is still acting in her baby way, which has won fame for her. She is still smiling, and what to do to make fun. He sings "Nothing New, Keep It Up." She sings her famous song. Dama Don't Know in all they did. They were well received in all they did.

Collins & Barrett, doing comedy and straight comedy, were among those comedians who, seemingly, can't do anything poorly. No better than Miss Barrett, this theatre. Miss Barrett is a fine straight and a good all-around performer, and a good number, "if I Forgot," was pretty number. J. B. McCAMON WRITES FROM THE VIRGINIA MINSTRELS.

I left and thirteen others followed. In regards to the item in last issue of The Freeman, written by the would-be stage manager. Mr. Joe Norton.

There were no other sections with married couples, as they are now. Some class to the Allen show now I don't think. Yours truly, J. H. McCAMON.

BUSTER & BAILEY MAKE A HIT AT THE GRAND. Venable Owens and Harper Make Good. Excepting the first appearance of Buster & Balley, we had prize fights in the night of the 1st round of the大赛. Philip Austin, the original Buster, the Buster & Rockpile, and Leo Balley, formerly of King & Balley, whose partner died across the sea, titled the team whose team was a guarantee of good fun, which they were nourished and made a hit. Balley, who looks little more like man, will come his earn over the doubled sea, was given a nice reception. The white acts were Paul Chase & Co., in the second round of the event, and was tried to land the support and dialogue was highly satisfactory. The Ross brothers were fine midget boxing athletes.

He is some more smart kid. Charley Boyd, with the Montana Wild West Show, is certainly some Rube, and can play the part in earnest. Eagle Jack left the Wild West Show last week. The Old Plantation and their line-up—Mr. Charley Smith, stage manager; Mr. Charles Smith, stage manager; Mrs. Charles Smith, shows are good. Frank Watkins is singing "You Are Always Behind Just Like an Old Cows Tail," Temphis, is still screaming them every night with his buck and wing dancing. He gets better every day. Jack Pitt, better known professionally as Wescoff, his wife has been at her home in Charleston, S. C., on account of the death of her mother, but will be missed. Tim Butler, our pianist, says Hello, Madam Mines, write me. Our soubretts Miss Annie Belle Conwell, Miss Johnny Belle Conwell, Sarah McConnell of Chattanooga. They are still with us, making good. Little Joe Bird, with his trap drums, is still playing. Egyptian show is still playing to S. R. O. Montana Bill's Wild West Show is still the feature of the Rogers Greater Temple. We should pass through Coeban, Md., the little town, was quite a surprise to us, and we were met at the train and escorted to a hotel, just the same as we were at the hotel. Mr. Highter Bundy, and Mr. Gray both deserve great credit, and other towns in the gloom have done so. Mr. Bundy and Mr. Gray have. I have been with companies myself and get in town and the colored people come to me for four hours before they could get a place to stop. Luck to you both, Mr. Bundy and Mr. Gray. DON'T ACCEPT MONEY. (By Serlp.) We deeply regret that our last letter to the Freeman placed that performance management of the Lafayette theatre, New York City, and with the theatrical profession. What we saw in that letter was that we should not do what We do not accept money for anything that we write, because we feel that as a public should we we stoop to such a practice. Those that we have selected as performers of some peculiar merit, and that we have done so because we felt that in the interest of art itself such a course of performers have accused us of the "up" system, while on the other hand, members of our profession have laughed at us because we would not sell our soul for a few dirty dollars. Every art professional and the more drastic the better. We have no quarrel with the management of the Lafayette theatre. It has long been our hope that that house will be able to continue its session clean. Under Shipp & Corker, and under their immediate successors, the vaudeville offerings were of a high quality and were not a cause to be keenly disappointed. The realization of our discontinuity was one of our reasons for discontinuing our production. We News. We knew how easy it was for a theatrical manager to muzzle the colored press. Nor do we ourselves apologize for the Lafayette theatre. We have never yet made an unqualified statement. The name of one of thir recent headliners is alone proof for our content concern. There has been a change in the editorial department of the New York Times, where he has moved from the head of the sporting and dramatic departments, and one of his contributors, George W. Johnson, under de plume of "Gee Jay," steps into his place. "Gee Jay" has gar coated policy, and has been attacked in his own paper by the mysteries of the sporting editorship of The Amsterdam News, and Lester Walton continues to write about the Lafayette事件 in his own paper. He has reported that Romeo L. Dougherty may return from the West Indies and be a principal investigator to the journalist. A white syndicate is proposing the organization of a theatrical process to be located somewhere in Harlem. This is the day for those who wish to retire from the theatrical profession, to pursue a career as a character artist, weary of art, is preparing herself for the hair dressing profession. It has not been many ages and she has learned to harm the stage might do her soul, embraced religion, and began to convert her beloved Providence. About a year ago she light, but assumed a heavier task. She wished to convert Chicago, and you know Chicago. Miss Wise is back on her job, she manages her store. If what our friend, Sylvester Russel, says is true, Minnie Brown has gone in for the commercial side of literature, she manager of a store. Abby is somewhat as Eddie Foy would like to interpret Shakespeare, is ready to launch herself into concert work. To be fashionable We wish to commend Mr. Cleveland Allen for his sensational attack on the theatre, New York City. Allen realized that words alone would not preclude the formation as Griffith and Tom Dixon, and with the courage of a Monroe Trotter, protested by force. It is an obvious achievement and production of his save through revolutionary means. We have received word that Will Vodery is a better death or sterile. He is Hollywood's most many attempted a revival of "Bandanna Land," the last of the Williams and Walker vehicles. It was an artistic achievement. Lester Land was a revelation. Last summer Jerry Mills revived "Capt. Rufus" at the Peabody Opera, where he libretto that had much beauty and melodramatic strength. Mills himself was masterly in his role, although too young to perform it. Vodery will have success. Hitherto he has displayed rare, insight and judgment that rushed us into something, realizing that it is a long, long way to art. ST. LOUIS, MO., NOTES. (By Herbert T. Meadows.) An excellent bill, consisting of The Freemans, Bosan & Granger, Myers & Myers, and the Boekr Washington theatrical this week. A good show is the result. The regular members of the Moore, Hester Moore, W. Hearl Bowman and Ursel THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Burnette. Others are added to fill out the cast in the different plays produced. W. H. King, formerly editor of the Central Afro-American, has opened an airdome at the location formerly listed in the Dudley circuit. Chas. A. Hunter, the well known theatrical man, announces the opening of "The Lincoln Airdome" for the 1915 season. The St. Louis Giants, St. Louis' fast Negro ball club has drawn heavily in their first two Sunday games. They are conceded by the daily papers to be "the fastest aggregation in the city outside of the major league clubs." An effort is being made to get them in the city league, which will not interfere with their schedule to play colored teams. Captain Wallace sustained a sprained ankle in last Sunday's game and will be out of the line up for 30 days. Big Stock Company Passes Through St. Louis. The Billy King Theatrical Stock company, larger of four companies, opened through here Wednesday, April 21, enroute to Kansas City from Baltimore. The company included three known performers who have appeared Washington theater. They also first show Wednesday evening, and left the city at 9 p. m. In the afternoon, they were guests at Mrs. Howard Kelly Meadows and Mr. King were guests at dinner of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert T. Meadows. The company opened a summer engagement in Kansas City.

William Saddler, our funny man, is a hard, constant worker and always fails to score. The team of Irving and Irving in a brand new act is going forty. Warren performs and deserve great credit.

If you have not, why do not work for Bell and not work for the worked for him knows that he was blowed-up sucker after he was through. He knew, now, that he was one month with his wife. He had two teams and two single. They drew like I did—later breath. He is going to work for the Bell theater and we will read of a black burying in The Freeman. I had to leave a suit of clothes for room rent in Okmulgee, and I will read of a black burying in money to eat on. Understand me, I was working every night. If you work for the Bell theater in Oklahoma City, the Yale theater in Oklahoma City, Okla, your money is as good as gold. This is my third time at his house this week. You know, I have known me, for I have been in it since I was 8 years old, and I am 37 now, so you know I have been a rock in the world.

Mrs. Smith had been ill for some time and her death, although expected, was quite a shock to her many friends. She embraced the Catholic faith and the last rites were ad- ministered by Rev. Father McDuffy. The following performers of the Tolliver Musical Comedy company demanded to the relief of the Powered family. The Tollivers, $5:1, McPhillips, $1:1, The Wells, $1; the Rainey, $1; H.H. Rugsley, $50c; J. A. Grant, $0c; King Williams, $25c; R. B. Howard, $25c; W.

McQUITTY WRITES FROM SPARKS' ANNEX BAND Our second Sunday finds us still in West Virginia. Elkins is a very pretty girl, and we are in about 8:30 this morning and at 10 o'clock our tents were up and breakfast fast and then the boys had a shower and then we were some sun weather. We had slight showers in Beckley, Hinton and Marlinton, but not enough to hurt our at- tention. He is moving northward fast and the next two weeks will find us in Ohio and Indiana. I regret to state, failed to learn, that O. H. Kennedy joining us at Sallisbury from Kansas City. When he came he could hardly make it, on account of Mr. Wright, and told him that Henderson could not make it, so he immediately put him on account of O. H. Kennedy enough to go back to Kansas City. Too much praise cannot be spoken of this act of kindness on the part of Mr. Wright, so he could have let the man out without that consideration. A. A. Wright and M. McCarthy in last issue of The Freeman that shows may come and shows may go, but Allen's Minstrels goes on forever, and in last issue of The Freeman that happens to know just how they go." For the actors and musicians' sake I hope O. H. Kennedy is doing through the paper. Jas. Banson is doing nicely singing a "Barnyard Bamboree." Little Rustus Child is cleanest in the dancing. O. H. Kennedy is cleanest in the dancing. WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H. DUD LEY CIRCUIT—WEEK OF MAY 3, 1915. Washington, D. C.—S. H. D.

I was leasing five-year lease and also have the privilege to purchase this opera house first of any one within five years in the columns of this paper saying I had leased Green's opera house is a big flib.

(By Honest Arthur L. Prince.) After a few weeks of pretty fair business in the panic-sticken district of Central Texas, we gradually moved toward the western border, where the wind was the last rock in the green, and the green is a little more in the way it seem to know anything about the panic, judging from the way they spend their dough and they have greenbacks gas- and the man-in-the-举 of the dough and the performers are getting their share. So everything is lovely. Minstrel managers are fast becoming wise to the fact that carnival colored the one and the noble Tomb Aable when intermingled with a minstrel bunch form and the pernicious ensemble. This season of the Virginia Minstrels are composed of a group of merrymakers who are the most important members of the group who are recognized as artists of rare ability. Mr. C. L. Erickson (our manager) is certainly enjoying the pleasures of life with his new high-geared armchair. Nothing seems to be so much in him and in a large course of time other managers will steal the idea. Get a good stage manager like Chas. Pewers and a competent band leader like Mr. J. J. McClanamon, a well-writing and a writer, and the other is the foundation of a show and everything will run like clock work. But when a show is messed up with poor food by an impoverished group of the performers around, from tales brought to him from MUSICIANS WANTED J. FRANK TERRY. Formerly of Richards & Pringle's Minstrels an ignorant stage manager and a self-made bogus band leader, who never knew the name of the ensemble will certainly exist in the company. We carry no electrical effects and gorgeous scenery, and such lies that frequent these columns areOLUME of obsolete. The cars are neat and clean and the berths are two high, plenty of room for the performers and the family. The most complete outfit for both manager and performer extant. Wm. Randolph is captain of our baseball team, the team is seated and lost. At Plainview we met the J. M. Busby's Minstrels. Lots of old friends had a glad handshaking, were looters and from all reports were doing good business. More Anon. THE HARRISON RAGTIME BAND REAUMONT, TEXAS. (By Horace Harrison.)

TAKE NOTICE, PERFORMERS. To the profession, dear friends.—Don't play the New Globe theatre, 43 Thirteenth street, Augusta, Ga. You can not get your money nor no part of it. The manager has not got a dime and his word is no good in the city. You are liable not to get your mail if it is addressed to the store and you are not in the receive telegram unless you are standing there when the boy comes. I have been here five weeks and got one week's salary. How can we live? Times are hard enough and when we do work we should get some of our money to pay expenses with, if nothing else. It's hard for a man to get their money, if you are the people know they won't get their money. Fred M. Copher, manager, stay away; if you are doing bad you would do worse here. Stern & Jackson Trio left their salary here. How can you buy a Freeman, or run an add in it at this time? The Christmas issue was very small last Christmas, and will be smaller next if we work for these kinds of managers. I think a manager should, by law, be compelled to forfeit $500.00 as a security for salaries. Performers can not ride miles and get beat out of their money and have to leave their trunks for board and work; past the new jewelry store, perhaps never get them again. Every performer reads the Freeman and we think it should protect us by notifying them in the above manner. ONE OF NEW YORK'S PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN. Mr. Louis H.

The Oldest Prize Fighter—Fast Pace Equals the Fastest Pace in the Tour and the Shoes (By Billy Lewis.) Years ago when the great Dr. Talmage was living, and preaching such graphic and terrifying attractions, the white man and many white preachers had very much to do in many daily papers and even daily just as he delivered them also Sunday. The colored preachers also knew a lot of him; he was often quoted as saying that he was the big talking about the planets and other things of that nature. He liked to describe the pyramids was perplex the best ever given. He made one see the vastness of the universe, was interior and birth. It was a fine supplement to the geography in the instance. In short he told me a book to guide to many sciences, literature in general. He reminded of Lord Bacon of the Caulay said himself that Thank God he was a master mind himself. The point I wish to make is that Dr. Talmage so impressed himself in his work that he answered, "What will Negro ministers now do?" The question was illusory and he compelling knowledge and his caneless survey of the same. The question may well be asked of the black Jack Johnson has slipped from the limelight." As long as he "reigned" whatever was said to him, he was deeply devoured. I have already said that he gave the boxing business dignity. Not because he was dignified, but because he used his position caused serious thought and reflection. Men discussed him seriously, and the champion used his position caused serious thought and reflection. Men discussed him seriously, and the champion used his position caused serious thought and reflection. However, the writers are not down and out because of the exit of one Jack Johnson. He proceed. The Oldest Prize Fighter. am rehashing a story of the old-est prize fighter. It is good enough as it is, but limited #pads beqive it is the most of it, and could be quite in the soul of the world. I throw that thought in by way of the parenthesis because it is too good to lose. I am not so sure that he has a good time with you, but that is not the question. James Kelley, for-mer heavyweight champion of Aus-tralia, whose death occurred several months, was a life of 92 years. This re-achable old age for a prize fighter puts to rout the theory that the rapid pace of the prize fighting ring men clips the world. I am a little more than that that does not spell a thing. Kelly, one would't think, was an exceptional man. It tands to reason this one and not to make the fight men and the other all the same and are so bewitching to the ordinary human kind and yet live to a ripe old age. That is the same thing that I was. I was too old to be the first of the fact that he did what he found pleasure in doing without the possible error. It is often the way he's going to the program he gave out, it is simply an exception to the rule. It is plain to the thoughtful that every excess has been a misfortune. Every mental movement means friction. Every mental movement is so equal. Every carousal means a strenuous mental movement. The most common is a strenuous mental movement. We won't find it necessary to read books or to consult doctors on those propositions. We are not the only one of the most important things that they and get wise. What a wise provision. We can know exactly where we are at all the time if we are though you'll wish to read our "logs"—our There is much of bohemia yet in the human kind in spite of the fine work of civilization. The many sit on the tendency owing to conventional and white back for a useful sociality is great thing that we are held in case, by sentiment, mostly, by sentiment, but assisted by the fear of punishment in other courts than sentiment. A good big perspicacity of the case, a奉公者，is delinating to excess in all directions, and consequently subtract from their possible days. Prize fighters and other sporting people whose very success depend on fine physical and also mental condition, and the laws of their keeping. This proposition works out of it all, that, owing to their nature and environment, they are strongly beset by some opposite something that is especially alluring, and which is the most beautiful, is the chance for a most beautiful sermon on "fitting nemesis," or the adjustment of temptation. I mean that for every attitude in life there seems to be a near temptation as if I made to fit the most serious all of the one question evolves from another like "corolaries falling from geometrical demonstrations, always giving the thought something to think and talk about. So "us" sport writers needn't worry because of the use of the erstwhile piece-of-reistance A Bit of Kelly's Biography. James Kelley, or Australian Kelley, won the championship of that country in 1848. My informant does not tell from whom the championship may be won, the championship may be set down as gross ignorance for a sport writer, but if one can keep up pretty well with what's doing at home with the championship, he will know Kelley was the oldest prize fighter, and he had the distinction of having fought the longest battle on the rounds, however, did not last three minutes as they do today under the Marquis of Quenchesberry rule. He was knocked down that ended the round. Then a man could be knocked down at anytime he chose to go down and take the fight by special arrangement. The fighters could also wrestle, the man being thrown down, the round ended, the man being knocked advantage of the rules, needlessly going down to avoid punishment. The rounds in the meanwhile soared high because so often cut Mr. Wagner and the Sphere. Following is a little sketch of Hans Warner, the well known Pittsburgh businessman, who won't stand mutilation. However, owing to the length of the article it is hard to win in part. He is the one great baseball star who never commercialized his greatness. None of baseball players have ignored dozens of attractive stage offers; advertising concerns have valuably increased the importance of autograph or picture; newspaper syndicates and magazines have made him the biggest kind of inducement to hire a baseball player. German has flatly ignored every proposition where he may have added many hands to the business; getting from Barney Dressford for the last ten years. Despite his frugal nature and simple business methods, he added any money mad tendencies, and he entered the forty-second year Feb. 24 about a month later. He stored away he had swallowed the huddles of moneyed baits cast out to him since he established his greatness, more Never Made "Side" Money. What he now has in cash, automobiles, and a few little properties in his home town of Carnegie, Pa., represents his home. He has a penny he has ever "made on the side," although his face and his name probably have been in greater demand than his money. Honors, for eighteen years has been the greatest individual earning power the National league. His rod and gun, country roads brought too much joy to his simple, boyish nature for him to navigate in any work on the side in the Prefers Common Clothes. Corduroys, jeans, and homespun surfaced for Honus, and he could always hire his blue flannel shirt and a wash polo shirt to tie around the hotel's polo hotels with the grace of a dolled up millionaire. With lots of money and a thorough willingness to hit the great exponent of the simple life, he had the power to times a day to ward off a storture. with all the poise and sang frog of any gentleman. There never has been a gentleman in the woods with his dogs, a makeup, and he is the same carefree boy in gorgeous environment as he is in the woods with his dogs. The patches on those Teutonic temples some years ago are whitening. As a short story, those still fast, tricky, and good enough to be depended upon to fill the Pirate's file base. Those off cartooned curved lips are still fast, tricky, and good enough to fly stealing in the last eighteen years, but Honus himself thinks they are sound enough to carry him through 100 or more flights in 1520. Wagner refuses to "swipe." For ten years syndicate writers have tried in vain to loosen Wagner's tongue and make him talk and "write" for publication. Honus never could see it. I resisted big offers of cash with the remark: "I ain't no writer, and don't pretend to be reporters are paid for that kind of stum, but I am a writer." Honus stood firm against cash offers and guarantee of big dividends. But he had a weakness, and one writer on his team was a bit nervous at it. When this man reached Carnegie recently for a talk the German was as obdurate as ever. Finally the scribe wrote that he would hope to copy it the eyes of Honus glistened like those of a kid around a Christmas tree. It contained a shotgun worth about $65. It was a bit too hopeful, so that I have concluded that a serial gag—continue in our next. I leave him with a $65 shotgun. In the language of Bacon, "that will he do with it?" See next issue. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT Buffalo claims over 2,000 amateur athletes interested in baseball, tennis and other outdoor activities. The week of May 15 is to be known as national motorcycle week by those who are booming cycle sports. Cornell university, eastern intercollegiate track and field champions, have lost half of last year's point winners through graduation. Tom Flanagan, of Toronto, will endure a race for the national boiling race at the championship of America between Eddie Durnan, of Toronto, present holder, and Frank Hagney, of Australia, a sculler boxer. Baseball was the most popular sport at the University of Illinois last year, and 252 for fraternity nines. In all L7,48 students, and two-thirds of those in attendance at the institution, turned out for athletic contests. Los Angeles yachtmen are expected to enter a $10,000 yacht in the race for the San Francisco exposition on August 15 next. The boat will measure approximately thirty-eight feet. The king's cup be for thirty-eight race and promises to be the feature event of the regatta. Martin Sheridan, ex-champion all-round athlete, is thinking of starting preparations, which will place the all-round events in amateur athletic union championships this year.

NEW YORK—The Sam Langford-Sam McVey bout, which was to have been held April 21, was called off. Langford's poor showing at Montreal against against Porky Flynn is the cause. HUDSON, W. Washington Welsh, the world's champion, and Red Corbett Watson, of California, boxed a lifely ten-round bout here April 21, before a final meet. He seemed to slug, and from a boxing standpoint it was about even. ST. PAUL, April 20.—The house bill, legalizing ten-round no-decision boxing matches in the three first-class cities of Minnesota—Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth—passed the state mania yesterday. The first several minor amendments has been adopted. Concurrency by the house in these amendments will be necessary before the bill goes to the Governor. MONTREAL.—What was to have been a ten-round bout here last week between Sam Langford and Porky Flynn was stopped in the eighth round of the referee, who ordered the two heavy-weights from the other side of the field to stop the spectators who stopped the fight because the spectators were not satisfied with the exhibition. The crowd showed its approval by hooting and hissing the pugillists. The fighters, it is said, had been warned in advance. CHICAGO.—Ad Wolgast, one-time king of the lightweights, has turned promoter. He is representing a Wilt-consoning group of 320,000 for the Gibbons and Packey McFarland the minute they attached their monickers to a set of articles. Who is back of the syndicate? Ad defused to said "Twenties are thousand will be paid for the bout itself and a $500 bonus will be paid each man the minute he signs," said Ad. Chicago for the first time got a gimpse of the new white champion by Tom Jones and three sparring partners, the big Kansas dropped off a train here and spent hours before popping to Kansas City. Some of the veterans in Chicago's ringdom said Jess looked just the same as he did when he wrestled off parts of the free lunch and assorted parts. Smith was awarded the decision over Tom McCarty, of Montana, in the twelve-round bout at the Arena in Chicago, for a fight to rave about, for not until the eighth round did the men exert themselves. The very small team was very gentle with the gentleness of the tilt. In the first five rounds it was plainly visible that they were in the Gunnner went to work. A right overhand punch put McCarty down for nine, and although the westerner was about all in Smith couldn't NEW ORLEANS, May 1—Eddie Palmer, of New Orleans, knocked out four lance Langue, of the ground of their twenty-round scheduled fight at Tommy Burns's arena last night.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER NO SPEED TOO FAST FOR THESE DRIVERS HUGHES RICKENBACHER The car that either Hughie Hughes or Eddie Rickenbacher, stellar contests in the next Indianapolis 500-mile race, wouldn't drive to the limit, has yet to be built. Both these men will take any chances, and successfully, as Rickenbacher proved by winning last year's Sioux City sweepstakes, and Hughes by helping Mercer to the 1911 light car championship. In the next Indianapolis race Hughes is scheduled to pilot an F. R.

Billy Benson, the Richmond promoter, wrote to Stigall that he would have been right this summer. They will be held at the Richmond baseball park. He has matched Stigall with young J.J. and a Richmond. The sport was a small test all the yearlong. Baseball players were not right in the past, but in the early days of the 1914 city box, the injustice by not bringing these people to light before now. The governor has given us a chance to turn on the light by being on the road. The city will be on the other side, and they will be on the other side.

(By Bill Hogue.) New Orleans. If Frank Hunter, the possessor of the title of colored weight-champion of the world, soaked up another champion, son did the stunt last night and picked the fourteenth round for it. Hunter sheds his weight from the start, carefully letting the local lad rush him from one side of the ring to the other. When he did it, it must be said for Hunter, though, that during the first five or six rounds he did all the leading, made the fight during these rounds. In the early part of the contest Johnson didn't like them in the stomach and in the face, and so proceeded to put them there with the ball played with Hunter at times, letting him jab him in the face, but it did the Johnson boy no visible end. The end came in the fourteenth round when the local negro sent one to Hunter, who then another of the same caliber. Hunter went down on all fours, while Referee Wambgs tolled off the fatal fig- In the semi-final Teo and Kid Green, Jr. waltzed through fifteen innings, and was given to the Teo boy.
