See page 4 THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER WHIRLWIND TOUR OF NEW YORK CITY Dr. Washington Makes Series of Speeches in Interest of National League on Urban Conditions of Negroes Mrs. W. H. Baldwin, Jr., Head of Helpful National Organization—Major Moten Ably Assists—Borough President Marks Presides Over Monster Meeting—The "Wizard's" Plain Talk on the Needs and Achievements of the Colored People—Open-Handed Hospitality Extended Party by Substantial Citizens. the Negro must: settle down somewhere and make himself a vital part of success permanently that is always moved from place to place. The individual must choose whether he will live in the city or in the country, but he decides on it make his home, let him stay there and grow with the growth that community and have a definite part of it. He preferred the the race should get the soil and gather the riches of the earth. He should the masses would fare better in the South, where the bulk of the race is orking out its destiny and will continue to do so, for economic and social reasons. The problems of city life were complex and often difficult to overcome. His humorous sally about the sudden transition of a Negro family from a rural valley in Mississippi to a twelve-acre apartment house in New York City, with electric lights and an elevator, did many other anecdotes that illustrated his many philosophical arguments. He dwelt strongly upon the superior advantages offered by this country as an escape from the oppressive Europe, where he had closely studied conditions, and declared that no Americas and not return without a deep appreciation for the stars and stripes. He condemned without stint the man who heavily upon the Negro who is miserable, bitter and pessimistic because he heavily upon the Negro who is miserable, bitter and pessimistic because he be white. He declared that he proud that he belongs to a race that has achieved so much under the most not exchange races that the whitest man on earth. He said the utterance that pleased him most in the magnificence of pride he evinced in the fact that he was a Jew—and was not ashamed of it. He was not ashamed of its vast possibilities. He wished sympathy because of his identification with the Negro race; did not wish to be a "northen" race. Noting the wonderful advancement of the Negro, he claimed that we are an "up-trodden" people. "Education for Service" Is the Keynote of Progress. "Get all the education you can," advised Doctor Washington. Go through the curriculum, the college, the university and all, if you can. Prepare for a profession, a career, a degree, a training, acquire a trade, go into business, if you will; nothing is too good for the groo. But, let not be forgotten the name the job is service. The best man is the man who can do the best—who makes the best and talents for the service of humanity. In this connection, Dr. Washington dwell at length upon the beauty and the work of the people, and full work is honorable and praiseworthy, and that idleness is the crowning disgrace. He urged that the Negro husbands cultivate an ambition that will make him look forward to a promotion from his position. He insisted that the husband be more confidential with his wife about his plans and his earnings, and that he should cultivate an ambition into the business followed by young men who are courting them. The desirability of getting a bank account, his savings, and his Sunday, acquiring the pioneer spirit in business, investing money in a profit-sharing company, and being asleep, the danger of competition at the hands of foreigners who may migrate to these shores at the bank, is the property owned by thrifty Negroes of the country and in the business that is worth while, and contrasting the easy times in the South, where importance of a healthy body, a clear mind and constant industry were dwell in the business, are fighting for every available job. He counseled the race to give the colored store-keeper a rightful place in the business, down the color line observed at a market where all of the selling was done by blacks. Undesirable roomers were told of to be avoided as far as possible, as well as the habit of "laying down the color line" at once. The practice of trying to buy everything that some one offered for sale was deemed to be unacceptable. Dr. Washington showed how effectively the National League on Urban Conditions is being supported by the conditions, fostering a better health movement and providing material for poverty and encouraging organizations that make for industrial efficiency.

The principal speaker and Major Motion told some bright, new stories that hit the mark. The audience, without exception, was made up of good looking and well dressed people. The absence of Mr. W. H. Baldwin, Jr., on account of illness, was deeply regretted by all. The National League on Urban Conditions is known to thousands who had not known of it heretofore.

Holloway Lyman, E. K. Johnson, John T. Clarke and R. W. Thompson. The high-powered motor cars in which the party made the tour of Greater New York were donated by Dr. Patrick C. Lee and Miss Mary E. Driller. The Urban League is now a truly "national" organization. It has aroused an interest in the social uplift of the Negro that is being felt from ocean to ocean. Messrs. Baldwin and Stowe were the civic leaders that to be held their own intrinsic worth as men and citizens and because of their distinguished ancestry. In prosecuting its work during the last year in Greater New York alone, the League has extended $57,020 years the League has extended $57,020 86. All of the paid workers are colored. Dr. and Mrs. E.

Borough President Marks reached the Palace throne when he remarked that the oppressed race he felt an especial impulse to race similarly discriminated against. He is a Jew of the broadest humanitarianism and deserves the high office to which he has been called. The Tuskegee educator paid a near treason to the Booroo of the "Across the Bridge" Fred R. Moore, N. B. Dodson and F. H. Gilbert, and referred touchingly to the memory of Mrs. Anna Fisher, who made a generous gift to the Hampton and other worthy causes. The Social Settlement Chorus made a fine impression at the Palace Casino, the leadership of J. Kossomand Johnson's own composition, "Southland," was especially well received.

Did you ever give her a warm cares? Did you ever einger a little while To her kiss you and, see her hail? Did you ever praise little things she does? Did you ever come home from the daily buzz To take her hand and to pinch her cheeks. And tell the love that she seeks and seeks? Did you ever care when she changed the way She'd be wearing her hair for many days. Did you ever notice the pains she took To fix herself so she'd always look Pleasing and sweet to you when you Did you ever whisper her gentle name In sweetness just as you used to do In the heat of back when your love was new? Did you ever tell her she looked so fine? Did you ever whisper, "I'm glad you're mine!" Did you ever try to follow her whim, and fathom her fancy, and through the dim Drift and dream of the rolling years Sweeten her sorrow and heal her tears, And pet and comfort her heart each day.

I beg to acknowledge a marked copy of a Columbus, Ohio, paper, commenting on the governor's decision to give the right. The story of the picture deals a man who has worked his way to the highest honor in the gift of the state, the governor, and one of the first bills that comes to him for his signature is the course of the fight the record of his life is searched and it is discovered that he has Negro blood in his veins.

Instead of being gone from her voice, the best friends have marveled at the sustained sweetness of her notes and her magnificent voice, and she has stranded, if she had nothing but the diamonds, a fortune in themselves, she would be a long, long way from stranding.

Anderson, former Collector of Internal Revenue at New York, was a "whang." The Freeman appreciates the invitations to attend the commencement exercises of the Clarke Training School Monday, May 31, at Washington, D. C., through the courtesy of Ida S. Cushinberry, formerly of Indianapolis, who is now connected with that institution. A. E. Manning, of this city, has been mentioned in connection with the now vacant position, Assistant Register of the Treasury. The office carries a fairly attractive salary. Mr. Manning's friends think that he is deserving of something of a substantial nature for his years of faithful service. Which shall it be, straw hats or overcoats in these vacillating days? Overcoats have checked straw hats, many of the latter being killed and taken. Straw hats say that the enemy was repulsed. But at the last accounting overcoats had moved up a trench or so. It is thought that straw hats will make a general advance, at least, by the middle of the summer. If the Bee of Washington, D. C., is right in what it says about the status of the United States, that city, and as contrasted with that, under the previous administration, the present administration is due a bit of praise. That it added twenty-five per cent to our difficulties is not discouraging in view of the fact that our friends begun the "fund" with a seventy-five per cent. contribution. Wilberforce University is "setting pretty." The Ohio legislature has appropriated $268,088 for its use during the years 1915 and 1916. A $30,000 science building is planned for next year. With the contemplated improvements that school will be exceeded in equipment only by Hampton and Tuskegee. Among the improvements will be a gymnasium, a recitation building, a hospital and industrial shops. Hurrah for Mayor Kiel of St. Louis! He is against segregation and he will veto any bill to that effect that reaches him. The mayor is right. There is much to be watched and regulated in a country like this. But that is what government is for, to straighten out kinks, to adjust affairs, relations between men and between concerns. It does not mean that a part of the citizens is to be ostracised, to be set aside, to be squelched. Segregation is a highhanded proceeding on the part of the strong to wrest the rights from the weak. Once the precedent is established there is no certainty as to where the mischief will end. In the last issue of this publication we had it that R. W. Thompson, the well known newspaper correspondent, at Washington, D. C., gave an account of "The Birth of a Nation," a moving picture production which could be construed as a favorable comment on his part and an indorsement on the part of those colored persons which were admitted to the playhouse. This was a mistake—a grievous error. The play was not the production which created the furore in Boston. The production in Washington was "The Nigger," a very ugly sounding title, but as we understand it, an inoffensive production as it concerns our race. One man saw how the mixup be that the one thought to be other, and especially both are being discussed with their seemingly cross purposes titles. One not on the scene, or when not thinking carefully would see down the production, "The Nigger," as the one of harm, and the other of the highfown title as the one big with good. It appears the other way. Mr. Thompson has called our attention to he mixup, and we cheerfully make the correction. He does not care to stand for "The Birth of a Nation," and we do not blame him. Formal rules of war are much like asking a man in which manner he preferred to be killed. And yet the representatives of nations, in peaceful times, enter into agreement as to how the thing may be done. It all seems so humane when not engaged in war, or to those that are lookers on during the conflict. It is different with those managing the wars. When Germany or any other country is battling for existence they will not question methods of warfare. This seems a rather brutal assertion in view of the known effort to fight according to lines, according to some prescribed rules. And as these rules concern non-participants they are right and ought to be. But they are bligerents with political slavery in view for the unqualified they will not be observed very closely. Pink tea gentlemen may choose swords or pistols and settle a difference on some ground 'neath shady trees by the most improved methods. Here a single shot, hit or miss, very often settles the business. This is not a war of race extermination—men, wo- men, children, home and happiness swept away. When these things confront men the things to win and not the things to lose. When these conditions confront men will not be stayed by nice rules. Cut the whole business out, is it? War is not a necessity. WHAT WILL GERMANY SAY? What will Germany say in reply to Secretary Bryan's note is the uppermost question in the minds of the thoughtful people of civilization. We, in this country, are cautioned not to anticipate for fear of further complicating a most grave situation. And pernaps it is best, yet in a general way views of the German nation's position on the world of sources; speculative, true enough, but none the less views of what Germany will say. Indeed there is a tendency to fix a program for that country. But Germany is Germany and that says very much as little as it appears. The German newspaper thought is supposed to foreshadow what will come from Berlin. That thought is, practically unanimous, that Great Britain is at fault in trying to do what the Germans hold to be a criminal thing; statesmen are not children. And by the way here is a place where war rules are fung to the winds. We are not trying to side with Germany. We choose to stand, with the President of this country, and with the major sentiment. Because we are interested it is not necessary to become so partisan as not to see all sides of the question. We would know the truth; it shall make you free, was spoken in another day and by the world's master mind. Germany deplores the loss of the American lives on the Lusitania, but it will not stand for any "ruse" by which England may profit by retaliation of there by public on the surface of Germany abandoning its submarine harbour. It will do it, we think, when bread can flow as freely to those shores as to those of England. This is human nature, and Germany in her tenacity is plus human nature. What Germany will say is conjectural, but it is fairly sure it will be along the lines of the expressions seen in the leading publications of that country. We can not see much room for a chance of misunderstanding. As "bullying" is what that country is quoted, it will be careful enough not to invite further antagonism. The insistence of an open sea on the part of our country in spite of England's war on German bread is a most dangerous point, and one to be viewed in the light of the situation rather than by broad rules. Our own country has just such a position at home—one that will not yield to broad rules. The Negroes are citizens, and hence due the citizens' portion, but the broad rules are shifted, lifted, suspended very often, owing to the nature of the situations. We are not arguing the case. We wish, however, to make the point that conditions sometimes throw the best rules out of gear. Our country is with the President, but it has no real thought of actual war. And there'll be none unless German insists on it. It is not reasonable to think that country cares to take on more enemy forces, because it looked forward to in spite of the warning of anticipating what Germany will say. DEATH CLAIMS BISHOP TURNER. Ere this the country has paused a while in its turmoil or joy to hear the sad intelligence that Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta, Ga., chairman of the house of bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church, is no more. The distinguished prelate was born at Newberry Court House, S. C. February 1, 1834. Being a Negro, and in the South, his opportunity for education was limited. Like Abraham Lincoln he was practically self taught. It is not said that he attended any school. He made it practically alone owing to the force of his indomitable will to do and to be which presided over the man; he rose to one of the world's greatest distinctions. So much can be said of this wonderful man that it can not be compressed within this small space. His learning was not what may be called eminent, but it was general, and in a way colossal, lacking the later day finesse which pronounce men as scholars. To be a scholar, and to be thought one was the consummation of his soul, devoutly wished. To this end he studied law, medicine, politics, theology, astronomy, sociology, the dead languages, winning the good comment of men for superior intelligence. Had Bishop Turner been born in this day, with that same towering ambition, with the opportunity of this day it is not extravagant to say he would have been one of the foremost scholars of the world. As it was he won all of the signs of great scholarship. D.D., LLL, C.L. Bishop Turner was an associate of great men. He was appreciated by President Lincoln who appointed him chaplain to the First U. S. Colored Troops in 1863. He associated with Dr. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Arnett and similar Negroes of later days. His familiars of former days were the giants of the then new Republican party—Blaine, Conkling, Sherman, Logan, Morton and the rest of them. At one time he was a member of the Georgia Legislature. He called the first Republican convention in Georgia, was a member of its constitutional convention in 1867; was a postmaster. He held other positions. Perhaps no Negro up until this time was so much in evidence as he was when in his prime. In his chosen church he was an avalanche as it concerns force. Coming to his best in a day when the church was the Negroes' forum, advocate and "king" his influence was of the supreme kind, and the kindiest for the upbuilding of his people, for the upbuilding of his church. Personally he was tenacious of his power, a thing learned of his long line of activities. And when the stress of those activities made for a seemingly somnolent mind, he stood as one of those columns of the Parthenon, somewhat shattered, but still doing duty, bearing the burden thrust upon him. He refused to be retired; and the heart of the great church acquiesced in his refusal. He was greatly loved. And in his last act he was as would be the very end as he would have it—to die in the harness. The bishop insisted on going to Canada to preside over his conference in spite of his years and feebleness. He had before raised the siege of weakness, and he would do so again, as he thought. His 81 years were not an unusual age, but he had been a most unusual man. He established churches in Africa, not to speak THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. of his great itinerary and various, at home—politics, lecturing, preaching and doing things that he alone knew of best. Although of great splendid physique—a Greek model for proportion—he crumbled 'neath the wear and tear of the load. He fell at his post in Windsor, Canada, Saturday, May 8, 1915—the senior bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church. When he passed the void created will eternally remain a void. Time and circumstance can never come again that will produce his likes. THE NEW VERSION. The Bee, of Washington, D. C., is out with the assertion that huddling or bunching of the colored clerks began with the Republican administration preceding the present administration. It says: "Although this community has been hoodwinked out of more than three thousand dollars and sent to New York to fight this terrible thing, segregation, it has remained just where the Republican administration bequeathed it in its last will and testament to its effect. More than seventy-five per cent of the present segregation was transmitted to President Wilson by Republicans." What do you think about this eleventh-hour confession? The Bee is on the scene, and we take it that it knows what it is talking about. Yet when the Negro press was raging about the wrongs inflicted by the present administration, that publication nor any person at the capital gave it out that segregation was a Republican bequeathment. We confess that it is news to us. It is sometimes best not to speak of one's ignorance; at other times it is well nigh criminal not to confess, because such confession may righten a great wrong. We do not feel particularly conscience-smitted in this case, that we have only abused Mr. Wilson's administration. The two wrongs do not make right. However, we would not have singled out the one administration had all of the facts been before the country. This review of our position will not change the situation one whit, and it may be that no one is interested. It is not the purpose. We wish to be eminently fair, to the point of petic justice, which plays no favorites—the mood is wholly apologetic. But we have said that the present administration is not excused even if the previous administration did set the example. Our argument, of course, and that of those contending loses force if the premises of the Washington publication are admitted. This is no time to be haranguing about a thing which is of so little moment of itself. We mean the segregation of the colored clerks at Washington. That is but one of many opposing things that besets us in our social struggle. The general good of the country is uppermost in the minds of all we thinking persons. How ever we could not forego this opportunity to modify our position, and since it does not tend to antagonize the administration which needs the general nation as one man. The Washington publication says further; PORTSMOUTH, OHIO. MAYOR KIEL OF ST. LOUIS. In voicing his opinion against segregation, Mayor Kiel of St. Louis said recently, "I wish to say now, that I have already said on several occasions, that the law providing for the segregation of colored people. If such a measure ever reaches my office, I will promptly attach my veto to it. I will never reach the question ever reaches the stage of a campaign issue for or against its adoption. I pledge myself to 'take the stump' and make a statement, if it becomes necessary to defuse it. "But even if a segregation law be finally adopted in St. Louis, I am confident it would become law. It would without a doubt be declared unconstitutional by the courts and promptly thrown out, on the ground that it violates the sovereign rights of the people." Such a law could not endure here and would perish in short order." NEWS OF SHREVEPORT, LA. (By Chas. J. Harris.)

AMERICAN GIANTS WIN; GUNTHERS LOOSE, 3 TO 2 Four Hits, Pass and Error Gave the Giants All Their Runs in Fourth Round—Laporte, Ind., Next Sunday. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, IL, May 18.—(Special.) The cool weather had a great deal to do with the attendance on last Sunday at a game between the American Giants proved the home team played the Gunners. The American Giants proved that they were just as clever on a chilly day as a team of the Giants, and had hardest battle of the season with the Gunners, the white boys losing (3 to 2. “Rube” pitched for the first team game, and the reception and as usual, one could hear from all parts of the park, “go at em,” Rube, “but one over now,” “don’t let it get to you,” the Gunners showed a splendid game, sending two to the bench and allowed four to walk. He was the sixth lining when the Gunners showed a little extra speed and “Rube” being a good general, sent in Walter Hall who was the first time the season. Four hitters a pass and Sullivan’s boot gave the Giants all of their runs in the fourth inning. The Giants proved for the Giants, got a three-bagger, the first one of the season at this park. Every man on the team played scenic plays, and the man, who was forced to retire, this makes the fourth straight game for the American Giants to carry off the honors. Am. Gliants.....

This is absolutely untrue as well as ridiculous for that school to be so unfair as to make such a claim, knowingly, that the school team in the state, and besides they played a schedule of only six games and have been defeated by Selma Union by the score of 17 to 6 in one game; the games played between two teams. Selma Union has rightfully won the championship of the state of Alabama, and hereby lays claim to this distinction, and harder games than any other school in the state and have won more than two-thirds of their games, as they will show. I do hereby submit a true record of all the games played by the representative schools of the state so you can understand the success of State Normal justly belongs in last place. The following is the authentic record of the schools: P. P. W. L. T. Selma Union 19 15 3 1 Talladge College 15 7 6 2 Tuskegee 13 6 5 2 State Normal 13 10 6 1 So it can be seen by the record that Selma Union has the undisputed title to the state championship, if not the South, and lays claim to the same. Selma Union ready and willing to play and defend her title of "Champion," and if not the South, against any team, Very respectfully, SELMA UNION. Selma, Ala., May 12, 1915. Selma Union easily defeated the State Normal School of Montgomery, Ala., here in a game featured by heavy hitter Bertie Maynard, out two of the State Normal's pitchers. The game was amusing from the start because of the many errors made by State Normal for Selma, allowing only six hits. The score: Selma, 17; State Normal, 6. r. h. e.

(Sorrowfully dedicated to the mothers of the War Veter Vera Cruz, Tuesday, April 21, 1914. The mothers are the real sufferers in any war. The heart-rendering caring of widowed and motherless women throughout battle-torn Europe should cause this nation's executive to heathfully and fearfully and fearfully before allowing this country to be drawn into the frightful malaestrom that is devastating a moralizing half of the world. Our great thinkers and fighters have said that war is never right; that no great question is right against by war. War is hell; war is legalized murder. What use in drafting international war is afflicted to civilisers murder? Why need we have war? The modern engines of destruction, when loosed, exact, mighty, any country engaged in warfare. What about the future generations? War stops the progress of civilization and does not harm the warriors. Can honor or praise compensate a woman for the loss of a father, husband or son? "Only a skirmish," the papers read. Meant simply to say "Huerta's bluff." Yet four mother's sons lay stuff and doff. And to these women 'twear war enough. Why prate now of "Measures Short of War." Or by evasion the truth to shun? The die is cast—we have gone too far; the peace dove has flown—the war begun. Where now are the millions that were spent. To purchase us universal peace? Art can be in the dreadful armament. The gods of war are soon to release? Great men may stand in the Congress hall, And orate with patriotic zeal; But the boys at front must fight and fall, And bear the brunt of the foeman's steel. "Only a Skirmish," the fighting brief. A Nation cheers for the victory won; But who can measure a mother's grief, Weeping alone for her only son. Words of condolence inadequate To stem the sorrow for the pain; Nor hope to praise, will compensate For the son who'll never come home again. O God, as Thou wilt; is each mother's prayer. Kneeling alone in Gethsemane. If I drink the cup—give strength to The cross and its thorns of agony! O Christ! Soften Thou the hearts of men. And teach them for what Thy life has stood; Lead them gently unto Thee, and then— Unite them all in one brotherhood.

In a recent write-up, a gentleman made mention of the fact that Mr. A. G. Allen's band was composed of a few musicians, two tawbuns, I wish to state that this is a very broad assertion and I take great pleasure in stating that I am around here and I'm not considered by the music world as a ham fat. I have been connected with America and my record is there. Write the War Department. Washington, D. C. I don't believe the musicians as much as it was intended for, but I have connected with, but I can say that the show is in good shape, the band is good as many others and things general are O. K. K. I will retaliate in a personal way to this gentleman, but this article will serve to remind others of the fact that there should be sure we know of which we speak or write. My statement as to my having been connected with two of America's best negro bands does not mean that I am in the rank of a genius, but when I am around here I mean today I am around here as a business musician. Let us be careful in the future and not solicit any information about brother musicians or performers because many of us who have the hammer swinging; remember if that hammer strikes something solid there in a cool. He will be friends in and out of the profession. I am very respectfully. J. ELMER MOORE, Cornetist. HUNTINGTON'S MIGHTY MINSTRELS. (Pearl Moppin.)
