NUMBER 30 NEWS OF THE N Tuskegee Quintette Rendez the Metropolitan BISHOP L. J. COPPIN'S Colored Followers of President Wilson Things Political and Otherwise—It Succeed Dr. G. W. Buckner in Libe the Sixteenth B. M. C.—Fair Hoosie (By R. W. Thompson.) Bureau of the Freeman, 1223 S Strete, N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 14.—Last Saturday was "Tuskegee Night" in the world capital. Throughout a long and wholly enjoyable evening of folk-songs, plantation melodies and jabble hymns, sung melodies and songs of the past, born" can sing them, the atmosphere of Tuskegee Institute, the practical teacher, and the inspiration growing out of the remarkable work of a remarkable man, were keenly in evidence. The teacher, despite the fact that it was Saturday night, and the hearty applause with which each number was greeted, indulged in the joy of singing it is set apart as "Tuskegee Night." Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Was the Mecca of the Hour. Mr. Charles Winter Wood, who is traveling with the students as manager, convalsed the audience with fashion, Paul Lawrence Dunbar's gem of Negro dialect, "In De Morrnin," and other selection types of the humorous side of race, "to coerce," which gave him an opportunity to display his talents as a mimic and tragedian. Mr. Wood's story of Tuskegee Institute students and the steel audience, and they could almost see the school grow from the one building and 30 students in 1881 to the mammoth community it is now. In 1890, 6,000 students and facilities for the mastery of 47 trades. The heating and power plant at Tuskegee has just been completed and this $23,000—and this just one of the schools manifold achievements. Hearty applause greeted the statement that the institution is manned entirely by Negroes—everything is taught and Dr. Washington is a believer in the higher education of his race, and gives practical application to his beliefs. Negro graduates from colleges and universities than any other enterprise in the world. Yet, not trying to solve the problems of the race, he emphasizes training young men and women for service, dignifying by superior methods the so-called common occupations of Bishop Copplu's Tribute to Tuskegee Institute Bishop L. J. Coppin, presiding episcopate of the Washington District of the M. E. church, delivered an earnest address to in which he paid a high price to the work of Tuskegee Institute. Said he, in part: "A man who attempts to criticise Washington is busy time. The man is to say that every time a certain editor fires a broadside against the policies of Booker Washington, up another building at bishops' and stone of teachers and the mad man, a word in opposition to Tuskegee and its teachings are those who have never been there. It is indescribable. It is more than an institution of bishops' and stone of teachers and the mad man. It is the crystallization of a masterful idea. Great though it be, Tuskegee has not reached its limits. It is indeed a great achievement by a most remarkable activity as they develop. It cannot be stopped. It is indeed, a most remarkable achievement by a most remarkable. The Negro race is deservedly proud of the record Booker T. Washington has made. Not one of us should be jealous because he has done more than we have done. He is indeed the cheers of the world, it means us, for we are of the same complexion. He is one of our own kind, who is doing our work, indeed glory. Let us think of that, if the 'green-eyed monster' ever strives to get its grip on our minds. Dr. Washington is doing our work, indeed great work it is doing, that holds his respect and admiration of the universe. Let it be our aim to do our work as well as he is doing his. "And let us not be content to say good things of the man and his work. It takes money and plenty of it to run a place like Tuskegee. D not depend on the white man to solve all of our problems, but to liberally as our means will allow—and give it now. The best help is self-help." It is distinguished by Rev. C. H. Steptan, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. church, quite a generous collection was "lifted," which goes directly to Tuskegee Institute. The secretary Lassiter, a staunch friend of Tuskegee Institute and its chieftain, presided during the evening, and it to his efforts the coming of the Tuskegee singers was made possible. On Sunday morning the Tuskegeeians by their house at the First Congregational church (white), Tenth and G streets. Odd Fellows Getting Ready for Sixteenth B, M. C. The Odd Fellows of the District of Columbia are getting ready for the sixteenth session of the Blenheim Council, which will be held in this city in September, 1916. An executive committee has been formed from prominent members of the thirty-four Odd Fellows, the following officers of the committee have been elected: President, James H. Coleman, vice-president, Dr. J. C. Norwood; secretary, Walter J. Abrams; treasurer, John W. Lewis. The details of the work will be mapped out and the committee expects the coming session to be held at Walter J. Abrams' factory of the G. U. O. of F. It is given out that delegates from England will be present at the 1916 meeting. Elks Rally Around Banner of Nutter. The B. P. O. E. of the World are rallying around the banner of T. Gillis Nutter, of Charleston, W. Va., for re-election to the Chicago convention, which opens August 31, he will have at his back 90 per cent of the delegates that are to come from nearly every state in the country. It will surprise no one, conversant with the inside "dope," if Mr. Nutter is re-elected by acclamation. At this writedocument, he is unable to muster more than a corporal's guard and the united voice of the order is for Nutter. Both lodges of the District of Columbia—the Columbia and the Pittsburgh—will be for Nutter from start to finish. Mr. Frank P. Williams, Esteemed Leading Knight, of Columbia, No. 85, said to your correspondent, when he earned the re-election, he was praised "You can say for me that, as far as I can see, there is nothing but Nutter in the field. I hear from the lead in the re-election in urging the re-election of Nutter—he is the man we need at this critical juncture of our history. There is no sense in changing commanders in the field. I am not enough alone and follow a 'safety first' policy. Nutter will have a solid delegation from Washington, and as Washington is the capital of Virginia and Virginia are pretty certain to go. Baltimore is for Nutter, and they work in harmony with Pennsylvania, Delaware, the Maryland counties and states. I think I represent the views of Exalted Rulers Bundy and Taylor of the District, when I represent the views of T. Gillis Nutter for Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks. There will be no fight at Chicago. It will be a 'love feast,' with Nutter as the central fig- Fair Hoosiers Delightfully Entertained. Misses Nettie Walker and Helen Prichard, two charming members of the teaching corps of the public schools, taught in a delightfully strenuous week here. They have been lavisly entertained by friends, old and new, in the school gymnasium, and express themselves as "having the time of their lives." They were house guests of Miss Alice Mae Hershaw, of this city, who is also a schoolmarm at the residence of Miss Alice Meyers, but is spending her summer at home. Among the more notable functions of the week in honor of Miss Alice Meyers, the Monday night theater party at The Howard, with Misses Alice Mae Hershaw, Vivian Lulcille Thompson and Edna Lucas as costumes for the Thursday night theater party at the residence of Misses Alice Mae and Fay Hershaw, 215th street; Wednesday night, boating party on the bottom of the pond; Thursday night, informal dance at home of Miss Vivian Lulcille Thompson, 212S street; Thursday afternoon, grazing the award theater "supper show"; Friday night, informal dance at the home of Miss Mirean O. Chaney, 1911 street; each day and Saturday, sightseeing with theater in the evening. Sunday morning the visiting ladies worshipped at St. Luke's P. E. church. At the end of a long morning, they went to the "Speedway," the Misses Walker and Prichard left on the steamer for Buckroe Beach, where they will spend a fortnight in port and have a variable impression upon all with whom they came into contact—a way that most belies and beauties who will hail visitors from Indiana were, aside from --- INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1915 WHEN RUBE FOSTER WAS HERE.

That the colored followers of President Wilson are "sitting up and taking notice of things political is evidenced by a number of news items that have been published in sections of the land. A dispatch, which found its way to a well known Indiana paper, comes back to the capital, bearing the information that the resignation of Governor Mooreville, Ind., does not mean that the Hoosier colored people are to lose that luscious plum, with its $4,500 salary. Assurances are said to have been given in high administration, and the assurance of filling the Liberian vacancy is ready to be taken up, the Indiana delegation will be allowed to name the man to handle our diplomatic relations at Monrovia. The colored Hoosiers are beginning to look about Another rumor that reaches the capital, by way of Topeka, Kansas, is the anger of the Topeka Plaindealer, is on his way to Washington, to press his candidacy for the office of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. Nick Chiles as the scribe, says: "Mr. Griffin is a simaponic Democrat and one of the first to espouse the cause of the War. The War is his possession. He has in his possession as a fine lot of endorsements as has ever been given to any man, white or black, for a politician. The War is an influential Kansas Democrats who are to accompany him, he expects to land the plum. Mr. Griffin has letters from his wife, who is an erotic leader in the state, including the smooth-bore or ward politicians." It goes without the saying the arrival of a new president with keen anxiety. The festive Washingtonians want to see him in action. Kansas is generally lucky in the matter of official preference. Lieut-Colonel Arthur Brooks is custodian of the White House, continuing administration on account of his recognized merits and tried reliability. He has good goods of the executive mansion and is under a bond of $10,000 for the faithful. Brooks accompanied President Wilson on recent trips to the summer White House at Cornish, N. H., and witnessed the baby Sayre a short time ago. Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the R. A. M. E. church, has issued a neat card bearing the name of the bishops, the connection has had since its organization in 1816. It is said that the tenure of the Episcopal bench is apt to be for life, as he is a layman and cannot be advanced to the Episcopal bench. The post has usually been a bishopric, and consequently the changes were frequent, to the detriment of the book-keeping and general welfare of the bishops, and consequently the hands of an expert accountant, who ROUSING WELCOME TO BUSINESS$ LEAGUE Boston's Progressive Citizens Completing Elaborate Preparations to Entertain Delegates and Friends Who Are to Come in August. Special to The Freeman the business forces and the citizens generally are co-operating heartily in the movement to extend a rousing welcome to the throng of delegates and friends of the National Negro Business League. The details are being being prepared into shape for the entertainment of the visitors from all over the country. The Boston Local Negro Business League, under the guidance of Alain Lomax, is leading the work, and they are sending announcements far and wide outlining the particulars and placing due empathy and support by the "City of Inspiration"—the "Cradle of Americana Liberty." No city in the Union has so many charms for the student of history who wishes to be a part of the early beginnings of the country in which we live. In no city in the land has the Negro more concrete achievements illustrative of the commercial and intellectual possibilities of the To Meet in Convention Hall. It has been arranged to hold the regular meetings of the League in Convention Hall, Garrison and Botolph streets, the best place of its kind in Boston, for the sessions of the numerous auxiliary bodies of the National League, such as the Press, the Understaffers, the Merchants and other associations, which meet simultaneously with the parent body. Visits have been arranged for the men and women of the league and opportunity will be afforded the delegates to look over the many business enterprises conducted by the colored men and women of Boston. The magnificent banquet in honor of the delegates and their families will be given as the closing event of the week's activities and the teachers said that this function will outstrip anything of a similar character that the "Hub" has ever given. The guarantee of the League ensures lavish hospitality for all who come. The general headquarters of the League is 121 Kendall street, when delegates should have their midday tea. The program for the regular sessions of the League is rich and varied and every line of commercial enterview will be engaged will be canably represented. Mr. Emmett J. Scott in Town. Mr. Emmett J. Scott in Town. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, the efficient secretary of the National Negro Business League, was in the town when he himself the conscientious manner in which the local committee is handling the situation. He conferred with the several committees and delivered an excellent address to large and women at Hotel Melbourne, fully 200 being present. Mr. Scott's talk gave a very clear outline of the aims and purposes of the National League, and he honored the cooperation of the vicinity may best co-operate in the work of making the Boston meeting the biggest and best of the long series of meetings have been held since the "Hue Hue" coming of its distinguished guests.

Race Lived All Lives. We think we may safely assert that no other nation or race has passed through so many great vlcistitudes as has the American Negro, and may be said to have been the American unused and like Salathiel, the hero in Eugene Croly's romance, the Negro has loved dreams. He has lived in the drafing, blighting, enervating atmosphere of the tropics, where the forces of nature combine with either anger and joy or fear before the joy of life—he has been a child of the desert and lived amid the solitudes of the lonely islands of the seas—he has endured the joy blasts of northern winter and the races indigenous there. In a word he has met all that nature has to offer in the way of habitat and in the meeting with nature, he has been slain, suffered and enjoyed, loved and hated, won and lost as probably none other of the children of men. Ought he to have something to prove, this black man who has run the gamut of human experience, this black man who has passed through the refining pot come forth to purge as the metal freed from the dross?

Well do I recall when a boy my father would put me upon his knee a guitar and play the camp of "Deep Bottom Virginia" during the War of the Rebellion. In 1870 we had the jubilee singers. They travelled the country collecting money and with funds erected halls on Fisk campus. Two years ago I sat on the platform in Jubilee Hall and heard the students sing many songs. I remember a year ago I heard Mrs. Lee, of Tuskegee, direct a chorus of 1,500 students and it made my heart leap with joy. After 1875 there was no development in Negro music. Our race was taught in the school, the color, the gender and the coloring generation threw aside all traditions. Any reference to CARY B. LEWIS the past was a disgrace and songs of Sanky and Moody were sung in our schools and churches. Even talented musicians tried to slander all traces of the individual characteristics that attracted the attention of the world. The Birth of Rag Music. In 1888 there started the quick growth of the "rattime." It hit this great big city during the World's Fair. It started with questionable resorts in New York and Boston, and become the rage of the civilized world. Then came Irvin Jones, Will Acoe, Sam Lucas, James McGee, and John Hogan, "Bert" Williams, George Walker, and the Johnson Brothers. At this time came Dwork. He began to compose a great music school. Then the Afro-American began to find himself. He began to learn that a thorough study of the master's work was necessary, this race possessed inexhaustible wealth of folk lore legends that would enrich musical literature. Cities like Chicago, asphalt, and New York were among the great singers and artists. Now choirs and choral clubs like Bethel are awaiting to do justice to a Negro Beethoven should be appear. Bethel choir sang anthems from the pen of Mundy. Production of Great Artists. Production of Great Artists The number of great artists and musicians, of which S. Coleridge Taylor was the most distinguished. His compositions are marked by variety and originality, and the effect of imagination. They are productions of the plaintive, wistful quality of plantation songs. His best and most famous songs are for choruses, and is by the Hawaiian triology that he is best known and will be longest remembered that he has sung up and down "Broadway" and at London with great success. He has put such talented artists on the stage at Burleigh, Roland Hayne, Melvine Charlton and others. Some of his bigger numbers are "Springtime," "Exertation," "Rain Song," "My Lady's Lips" and "Swing Along." These are the numbers that stamp him as a musician. Johnson have given us a number of songs such as "Under the Bamboo Tree," "Since You Went Away," "The Song Song," and "Bob Cole," The Old Flag Will Never Touch the Ground, Boys, James Reese Europe wrote "The National" and Alfred Anderson, "If I Forget," "A Tear, A Kiss, A Smile" and "A Others. The most noted planets are Hagan, Carl Dinton, Augustus Lawson and Roy Tibbs, each of whom have achieved success abroad in study. Joe (Continued on Pace Eight) --- HOTEL LINCOLN Arverne, L. I.

There's a job for somebody nobody's A job that's a dandy, and ought to be done— Full of excitement, and everything billed To draw down attention beneath the bright sun. There's a place in this land and this room for a man Who isn't an angel and doesn't wear wings. But who's built by some marvelous, far-seeking plan To kick up things! Not a mere meddler, a betsy, a mutt, Stirring up trouble for the rest to go. But a soul with a sense of making folk ready To jump up and do things, and laugh out and shout; He's needed in business, in progress—he hurts, takes a tumble, stumbles and often no hurts, And sometimes stumbles and often tunes stings; But he gets people out of their coats and their shirts, And kicks up things! He's better than capital unto a town, He's more to a people than wealth or than power; He can make 'em get up and make 'em shirt; And make 'em do more than enough in an hour. There's a job open for him all over the land; He's needed more badly than poets or kings— A man that can show folk he's filled up with sand; And can kick up things! —Baltimore Sun. That Richmond "position" was a "frost." We told you so! There are no "Frank Holts" among the Negro millions of this land. Isn't it a bit of real comedy to hear a white man trying to sing a "coon" song? Few communities are so poor that they cannot support one more church or one more lodge. It often happens that a man gets his biggest and best advertising at the hands of his enemies. Georgia will yet realize that in former Governor John M. Slaton she has given the world a Man. The righteous man does not need a lot of newspaper "defense." The Washington Bee may proft by noting this. An employer who is able to do business on principles and pay his help, insists upon having well folks to assist by right living, if you would be a success at any calling. Maybe Prof. E. L. Blackshear, the retiring head of the Prairie View School in Texas, would like to tackle the office of Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools at Washington, where he is said a vanancy is apt to be made soon. Since the foundation of the National Negro Business League at Boston in 1900, Negro business concerns have increased from 20,000 to 45,000. It pays to support such a helpful organization, as results, as the facts and figures show. The decision of the United States Supreme Court killing the "grandfather clauses," simply reaffirms the wholesome hypothesis that "law is law"—that the 15th amendment cannot be put into effect.

Even such rare and desired things as Negro expositions need some ad- vertisement. Alex. E. Manning, recorder of deeds, at Washington, D. C,, would make a rather distinguished card. A New York Negro recently got judgment for $200 against a saloon Keeper because he refused to serve him, In appealing the case the attor- ney for the saloon ede ton the plea that saloons weré nd places of public accommodation within the Jaw and that the statute applies only to the places enumerated, which does not include saloons. It was cited that the highest courts of Minnesota and Ohio decided under similar laws that colored men could therefore be ex- eluded from them. ‘The appellate divi sion held to the contrary, insisting that the color line must not be drawn, New York is known for its princely places. A victory there moans very much. Report comes from Asheville, North Carolina, that two bishops of the A. ‘M, B. church were ejected from thelr berths in a Pullman sleeper while en route through that state to Cincinnati, Ohio, The white persons on the train were angered when they were told they had to ride in day coaches while fine Negroes rode in a Pullman coach ‘They got together; waited on the bishops and ordered them out. The conductor and other train officers of- fered no resistance. The conduct of the white passengers ‘was out of the ordinary. ‘There is no reason to doubt the story in view of what happens now and then, and in view of what could happen every day if the Negroes ‘were not scrupulously careful in trying to comply with the written rules and those born of arrogance. _ However, this high tension shown in affairs of this kind is indication of the broad peace just beyond. Pennsylvania deals very generously with the Negroes of that state, if a news item from Harrisburg may be relied on, Governor Bramburgh has approved appropriation bills which will benefit the following institution: Institute for Colored Youth, Cheyney. $10,000; Douglass Hospital, Philadel- phia, $20,000, vut from $25,000; Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia, $10,000, cut from $11,000; Aged Colored Women’s Hore, Williamsport, $3,000; Colored Women’s Relief, Pittsburg, $1,000; Downington Industrial School, $20,000; Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Women, Pittsburg, $4,000, cut from 35,000; Home for Colored Children, Pittsburg, $8,000; Julia White Priscilla Home, Philadelphia, $1,000, cut from $1,800. Tt will be noticed that there are a few reductions, but at that it is a splendid showing of support for col- ored institutions, ‘The legislature of Indiana knows but a few cares owing to the colored people of the state. It it could see this array of figures it perhaps would not be so indifferent when approached along these lines. ‘The Dallas Express thinks it best not to be too chirpy about the recent Supreme Court decision, It says: “Never think the victory won,” for most certainly the men who concocted the subterfuges which have hitherto robbed the Negro of the ballot will not desist in their nefarious avocation. ‘Their devilish resoureefulness will stand them well in hand in continuing to nullify the law. The remedy for the election evil in our government is lodged in a proper education of the people along these lines, ‘The poli- ticlans must give way to the statesmen and patriots must come to take the place of demagogues, to the end that the people may be taught the import- ance of a correct expression of the people's will at the ballot box. In this instruction Hes the hope and safety not only of the franchise of the colored citizen, but of the prepetuity of the republic.” We are rather surprised to hear this, We have thought that there was ‘8 giving away all along the line of op- position. We will cling to our opti mism, but in the meantime we will not forget to watch as well as pray. ‘A white man signing himself as R. J. M. in a recent issue of the Lost Angeles Post had an excellent article supporting Negro segregation. He gives a number of reasons show- ing why segregation would be an ad- ‘vantage to the Negroes. He spoke of the possible power in politics, say- ing that colored men could be sent to the various municipal bodies, councils and legislatures. He saw the same advantages coming to Negroes as would come to groups of white peo- ple—stores, shops, schools and so forth. He set forward the best pos- sible argument for segregation, and as a thing of theory it appears advanta- geous. As a fact it is advantageous in instances, and were it not for the probable hurtful results it would not be opposed by the Negroes, If segre- gation permitted all of the advantages mentioned and yet keep wide open our place in general society and in politics it would not be, perhaps, so stubbornly resisted. Segregation is doing all of what the writer said in many. localities, except keeping wide open the citizen's place in general s0- ciety and in politics. The tendency is to shove the race aside and then close the doors. So in spite of all of the fine spun theories about what segregation will do it is yet viewed with alarm because {t carries with it that hurtful fact that it narrows citl- zenship. If the Kaiser gets his clutches on rare the’ citizens of Petrograd will sit! tip aid take notice. He would ert more fame if he would travel the old ‘Nepoteon rogte to Moscow. The Kaiser wouldn't mind being another Napoleon. However, this war is pro- ducing no men of that kind, nor is it possible, The directory of France, the government in the days of the revolu- tion, was at the mercy of the Con- queror. It ordered; he obeyed if he thought it wise to do so, He went on the theory that the man on the scene was much better prepared to dictate policies and campaigns than those in Paris. The situation of Washington when leading the American Revolu- tionary forces was strikingly similar to that of Napoleon. George Washing- ton was virtually a dictator. It was his fine sense of moderation, only, that held him true to the intent of those who severed the relations with Great Britain. He was the greater balance as against the people, as a rule, who would have perpetuated him in power had he permitted it. It is only revolutions that can produce Napo- leons and Washingtons. German arms are gaining great renown in the pres- ent war, but the glory is distributed. Eyen the Kaiser will be denied great personal glory. It is the day of big business, big combines. Fortunes ac- crue but the individual is lost as a thing of peculiar distinction. ‘THE NEGRO EXPOSITION. We are not so sure that generous advertisement would have helped Giles Jackson in his exposition undertaking. We do know that it would have been best to have speculated a little bit in that direction. No general interest has been aroused, notwithstanding the management went through the form of getting in readiness. It struck us that there was an air of exclusiveness that bode no good for the affair when it was ready for the public. And we are sorry, yet not surprised, to learn that the exposition is not meeting with anything like the success that was expected. Of course, it is early yet, and it may end gloriously, but there is no indication of a big wind up. Long since we suggested to Mr. Jackson that he spend a few hundred dollars among the Negro newspapers. His reply was negative or. evasive as though he thought he needed time only, when the people would come aflocking to him of their own accord, that is, without the help of the news. papers. He succeeded In. borning his own newspaper out of the prospects then, or to be, saying that it was here to stay, as if its birth was of a dubious nature, and that some profatory de fense was necessary. The exposition was very generously boomed in his organ, which, to say the least, did not have a soothing effect on the editors whose publications were not 0 auspiciously born—whose publications were not horn with silver spoons in their mouths. ‘The advertisement of the exposition at Richmond, Va., was seen in a few of our publications, and these were the more obscure ones, the object be ing, apparently, to Keep down ex. penses, In a way this was all right But here was a project, supported by the government, and by the state, and supposed to bein the interest of the whole Negro race; and furthermore, standing as a sign of progress of Negro freedom for fifty years. Yet it was so poorly managed that It came near falling through the first week out of sheer disgust. ‘The exposition management should not have looked on the project as a personal affair. It should have called Into thelr confidence every possible Negro agency. Terms could have been made with every Negro publication in the land, All of this may not have served to make the exposition a go, but it would have been an evidence of courting the goodwill of the editors who are best able to reach the public. Instead of this the ery was we can't do this and that, seemingly expecting the generous support of the news. papers gratis, when other bills of every description had to be paid. It was unfair, not that the small amount of money that might have gone to the publications would have made much difference, but because of the principle of trying to put one over on us. Space can be bought in our publications from ten cents an inch up to fifty cents an inch, ‘The man: agement could have used its own pleasure as to the number of inches; {t cared for none. We know of no other way to make an exposition or anything else go except by generous dooming. Giles Japkgon ¢, al. thought to make it by sole other gate than the straight one, and had they suc- ededatvtheyweuld-have been just as unfair, tothe) newspapers whose bus! nesad8 toogive publicity. JUDGE W. W. GIBBS DEAD. ‘The race loses another distinguished character in the person of Jidge Mif- fin Wister Gibbs, who died at his home, Little Rock, Ark., July 11. Asa politician, business man and race lead- er, he, perhaps, had the greatest career of any Negro up until this time, He was not so brilliant as. were some of those of his day, consequently his name was not impressed as those of Frederick Douglass, John R. Lynch, Nomis Wright Cengy, John A. Lang” ston, B. K. Bruce, Bx-Governor Pinch- back and a few others of this class, who were the yeomanry of the Negro race in the days of its dawn. His was a mild and steady glow, and which stretching over the most eventful period of our racial existence. ‘After Mr. Gibbs was elected judge of the municipal court of Little Rock in 1872, he was best known throughout the country as Judge Gibbs, He was THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. the first Negro to be elected to such @ position the result, perhaps, of his Bien sey ee eae ‘His present day biographers have it that he was born in Philadelphia in 1822, An early biography of his life has it that he was born in 1828. He acquired a common-school education in that city, regardless of his color. He was born a freeman, and doubtless he was one of the few of that day that had the advantages of education. He improved his opportunities, which were possible owing to his favorable birth, his father being a Methodist minister. His father died when he was but eight years old, but he seems to have left his family in a condition to care for his schooling. ‘The founda- tion being laid, young Gibbs put in his time cultivating himself in literary matters. ‘The literary was an excel- lent field for self improvement. In one of these societies he met Douglass, Whipper, Weir and others who became prominent in the movement to free the slaves. He delivered lectures through- out his own state and in New York and Ohio. Later, when the gold fever broke out over the country at the announce- ment of the discoveries in California, he found himself caught up in the swirl, and in 1850, he found himself in that state taking bis chances with the restless humanity that went there in quest of the lure. He was s car- penter by trade and at which he worked for a while. He found what we of this day find, that white men would not work with him. He went into the clothing business where he had success, after which he became ‘partner in an importing boot and shoe ‘concern, buying goods from London, Paris, Philadelphia and New York. Mr. Gibbs could not get away from ‘his abolition training and his race variety. He had prospered financially, ‘but his race, tike the poor, was always ‘with him, He associated himsolf with other colored men in his new home and raised the standard of Negro Uberty in 1851. He at once became imown, and popular. “The Miner of the Times,” the first Golored paper of the state was, in part, due to his ef forts. He was sent to various con- Yentions where he always stood up for his race, and through his efforts beat back obnoxious legislation aimed ‘at the Negro. ‘News of gold fields, in British Co- lumbia in 1858 attracted him with thousands of others to that country. Success followed him. After his ar- rival in Vietoria he was elected to the common council. His fortune was con- siderable for that day. His early biographer says that he became a large shareholder in an anthracite coal mine. After spending sixty thou- sand dollars in prospecting with no substantial results, the company ad- yertised for tenders for buildings, rail- roads and so forth. Mr. Gibbs put in a bid to do the work, it was accepted although not the lowest. Fils efficiency ‘and integrity counted. He overcame all difficulties and in twelve months he sent the first cargo of anthracite coal dug on the Pacific coast to the directors and to the market. He returned to the United States, graduated in law, and in 1870, went to Little Rock, where he enered the law firm of Benjamin & Barnes, continued his law studies, afterwards being ad- mitted to the bar. He held various offices in his state. In 1876 he was elected as a presidential elector-at- large, from which time he continuously ferved his state in that capacity until 1901. President Hayes appointed Judge Gibbs register of the United States land office at Little Rock, to which position he was reappointed in 1881. Judge Gibbs was prominently asso- ciated with educational movements, and in which he easily took the lead. ‘This was in the beginning of the Negroes as citizens, consequently his efforts were much valued. He was immensely popular in his home city. ‘As a lawyer he was unanimously elected to the bar association in 1882. He was a member of the Board of Visitors of public schools. His large means made it possible for him to become a partner in the Elec- trie Light Company of that city; he also became a large shareholder in several manufacturing concerns. His other investments were in business and resident property of Little Rock and elsewhere. ‘One of his daughters graduated from Oberlin College with honors and took rank among the educators of the country. ‘Three children survive him. Mrs, 1. G, Hunt, Horace Gibbs and Mrs, H. G. Marshall, of New York. It will be seen that the life of this man was remarkable, standing alone in its beautiful consistency. It shows an {ideal citizen who took part in all the affairs of our citizens, never per- mitting the thought of race to keep him from the citizen’s portion when keeping the citizen’s faith. He had no particular high, vaulting places in his life, but even and serene as a prairie, yea, table land—high and level—beau- tiful when viewing its unobstructed vistas, stretching out to its utmost phorisose—the acme of citizenship.

What has the war to do with this country has been affected for good or ill by the European war. Reasoning "a priori" the war gave the capitalists the power to control cotton, consequently cotton was a drug on the southern market and show business in the Southern states suffered. The war caused more than 2,200 foreign vaudeville acts to come to this country seeking employment, willing and good to work wherever they are, and for whatever the managers will pay them, throwing not only the colored acts that played white time but hundred of other acts, attending shows is a luxury not to be extravagantly indulged when factories are shut down or only running on half time, and when some of the workers in most every family are unhappy. The "jingo" newspapers would have us believe that the majority of the people in the United States are ready at any time for failure to favorably settle the international dispute now being argued between these two countries. Nothing more is needed to grieve at the loss of lives caused by the sinking of the Lusitania, but most of the people felt that the Americans were wrong of the sad fate in store for the vessel and that those Americans would have been serving the best interests of their country. Heeded the warning and taken some one of their own countries ships not laden with contraband and munitiousicans who are compelled to visit Europe at the present time are not serving the best interests of humanity and their passage in belligerent vessels, thereby jeopardizing the neutrality of their country, although they may be within their rights according to international law. President Wilson's plea for humanity would have greater weight with the warring nations if Americans practiced the same kind of respect for others abroad. Are the assassins who lynched two defenseless negroes in the South a few days ago, any less barbarous than the Germans who fire gas bombs so widely on people in the force force who creep at night to the German trenches and alit the sleeping soldiers' treaties? Larry yearly in this country without trial, judge or jury, any less Americans than those who met death by the sinking of the ill-fated Lustaniana? Larry from this country, would be ridiculous were it not so tragic. Russia, Turkey and Japan have each taken a fling at this country and broken a few windows from fire from the other side of the we live. President Wilson ought not expect to be taken seriously, when making a plea for humanity, so long as American butchers and burners of American negroes to go unpunished and unreubaked. The following letter was clipped from the Evening Bulletin, Philadelphia. Our Negroes Trented Worse Than Hindoos. TO the Eulogy of The Bulletin The Bulletin was a letter signed by "Yankee Sailor," saying he had seen natives of India treated in a cruel manner. It is notorious that sailors have "varied countries" in their countries they visit; they see, in fact NOTES FROM J. C. O'BRIEN'S FA MOUS GEORGIA MINSTREL NO. 2 SHOW. E.

OUR BILLY KERSANDS, PIONEER IN THE PROFESSION, VALUED FOR HIS LONG RECORD. Billy was beyond threecore and ten years, but out of the crowd, he got on. Great characteristic trait in him was his duty to the public. He was asked at one time, when blessed he had to answer, why he did not retire from the stage. His answer was like him, ever mindful of his duty to the world, ever careful, ever but the public wants me and I must obey. This was as a general thing, only the worst part of ports. Upon the other hand, I had the honor of serving an American missionary society for fifteen years in India. I have been a member of the missionary across India from Calcutta to Bombay, I have gone from Rangoon to Mandala, and on route to the Chinese frontier, I have been stationed in India for months. I was stationed in garrison towns in which were British (English, Scotch and Irish) regiments. I have seen British officers strike coolers, also on the frontier, and disobeyed, but I never saw delibrate cruelty. Of one thing I am certain—negroes in our Southern states, also in India in our Northwest. If a native India commits murder, even if the victim is an Englishman, justice is met proper authorities, the man is never lain. No company of Englishmen ride into a village at night, take a native to the dangle tree, dog him down to death and kill him. A negro was burned at the stake in one of our Southern states. The next day I was met in a bazaar by an officer in a horrible bit of news in the paper this morning," he observed. "What kind of people are your countrymen down in India (by the tortures of the Dark Ages?" Frankly, I felt greatly distressed. I smoothed over things as well as I could, but I must acknowledge I would have had that paragraph published broadcast throughout India. No, "Yankee Saller," I am afraid我 will live in ghassho house and throw another stone. EX-AMERICAN MISSIONARY. O. D. Carter and Geo. Boutte, late of the company, are successful with their sums. Few show through New York state. The boys will be seen with the New Smart Set show in a series of phenomenal dances the coming season. Gray & Dunlop, presented a new and original sketch entitled "The Boy Scout, which introduced the two in military dress and the military climax required the assistance of a company of boy scouts which added to the effectiveness of the sketch. Miss Dunlop was quite ill during the day and directed somewhat from her clever work. Riley & Hudgins, two boys, were a sure fire hit. Riley's impersonation of a clapperian, Chapin was cleverly done. Mr. Hudgins, a palate personation, was the best we have seen. He fooled the audiences completely and was greeted with roars of applause and laughter for his clever deception. Miss Louise Cook sang several beautiful selections in good voice and pleasing manner. She has a winsome personality and knows how to deliver her songs. The Yamata Bros., Japanese, were seen in a new style act, that than usually done by the skilled performers from the Orient. The Japanese are unexcelled in their line of work. The Rajahs completely mystified the people with their wonderful exhibition of telepathy and mindreading. There was a kind in the business than the Rajahs. Richenson and Toward were pleasing in a laughable skit. The duet singing was the feature of the act. said with no display of bombast or egotism, but as one who owed the world his talents and would not rob them of his gifts a honorary member of our Association from its birth.

GIBSONS NEW STANDARD THEA: TRE, PHILADELPHIA. For the first time the new Simplex projector at Gibson's New Standard theatre this week produced Charlie Chaplin on its 1,000-foot reel. The theatrical company wrote as a baby turned up at the toes. They made Charlie's papa laugh, and all the family and friends laughed, too. As Charlie Chaplin wouldn't wasn't in the first pair of shoes. No matter what kind of footwear he tried the toes always turned up, and he didn't wear them. Since he hasn't worn any other kind. Baby Chaplin also twirled his rattle. It made the folks laugh to see the original twist of the character. When he grew older he carried a walking stick (for Charles is English you know) and between the many artists who characterized through a combination of other types and impersonations. He went into the English music halls and gave plays that his colleagues work found the greater response. Not so very long ago was it that you heard or Charlie Chaplin? The keystone of his plays was the black derby and the twirling walking stick was known to the picture "fan" in the country. He is the first career actor to be a manager. Manager Gibson must be congratulated on his keen perception and forethought at this time of the year. Those were Riley & Hughes, Louise Cook, the Rajals, Richard THE FREEMAN.

Marks 654 Broadway, New York City FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE LOCAL NEWS TERMS COLUMN UP TO THE FINALE JACK BLACKBURN VISITS SCENE SEE EARLY TRIUMPH Former Noted Colored Boxer Returns To Indianapolis Looking for Bouts. Jack Blackburn, former noted Indianapolis boxer, whose bid for fame last ago was nipped in the bud through an attack by a rival boxer, is being brought the scenes of his early years. Aside from his old acquaintances and his former old acquaintances, the boxer is looking for bouts. Blackburn left Indianapolis in 1993, after cleaning up on about 100 bouts and attaining a gold rank and attaining a fame as one of the most commising colored boxers in the country. He took part in a boxing division as a lightweight, and actually all camers, regardless of class. Blackburn met and in most instances defeated him in division, his victories being a short bout decision over the colored champion Joe Gans. He then resumed his career and attracted notice by being that well known Boston tar baby, Sam Langford, to draw on six different occasions. Blackburn's decision Philadelphia Jack received his credit and was booked for a tour of Australia when he landed in prison as a result of an altercation. with his long period of inactivity, Blackburn managed to keep in good trim and keep his weight under control to achieve some of his former tryings. The colored boy now weighs 145 pounds, he has been in the army 20 years of his career and he believes he will succeed in the beat Christy Williams and Jack Brennan. He recently, with help from his huddle, have held his weight with Gunboat Smith in New York. JESS WILLARD'S REASONS FOR DRAWING THE COLOR LINE. BOSTON—Before I go any further with this story, I want to tell why I draw a picture of the Negro weighty fighters I might. In the first place it just happens that the Negro heavyweights fighters in the class, Langford, the father of them all, has let him get his fat and slow. Sam McVey and Joe Jeehan, Johnson used to whip them. If I took on any of them I don't think people would take the match seriously. No club would offer a decent prize to make any money, not to mention glory. But this is my real reason—a championship fight between a black man and a white man. No, I don't think Johnson did more to hurt his people than Booker Washington did to help them. I am not saying this in a mean way. I don't think white men for feeling that way. I think it shows ignorance. But lots of white men did feel that way. Who doesn't remember all the sickening white hope "business"? But lots of white men thought their race disgraced, so did a lot of ignorant colored men think that their race had been proved the better by Johnson's victory. I am not saying to draw the color line. I say this because I don't want anybody to think that I'm doing it from any mean, dirty little prejudice, from the ignorant brains. A sober, decent Chinamen looks better to me than a drunken bum of an American. A Negro who uses his intelligence is a finer man in a whiskey glass. ANSON POORLY PAID FOR WORK JN BASEBALL "Grad Old Man of Base Ball" Now Depending on Stage Income. Adrian Constantine Anson, the greatest hitter that baseball has seen, is now depending upon his salary as a great winner of the greatest hitter the game ever saw, for twenty managers of one of the greatest clubs, the White Stockings of Chicago, and a great winner of years ago a poor man. He ventured into billboards in Chicago and did not prosecute he. He has been on the stage for a good many years now. He has made an immense salary in two baseball wars, that of the Brotherhood in 1890 and that of the American and National leagues. He cannot make let money divert him from what he deemed was his allegiance to the old National league. He rejected alluring club. It cannot be said that the Chicagoalty was rewarded. Jim Hart, president of the club in the nineties, did not like Anson and in 1899 the veteran was first baseman and catcher, manager of a world's championship club, it is doubtful that Anson ever got as much salary for a second baseman, as these three To the last, when he could scarcely be on the plate, he could hit just as well ever. His grand batting average was 0.266, and he was something like .348. He has never had a beer as a pinch hitter, and he always "in the hole" to the pitcher. He used to any other player and walked right into the ball. As a rule he hit through the short field on the line. The prime Anson was a remarkably durable ball. A rubber in the bats of hot Springs said that in thirty-five experience Anson was the most important physical specimen he had ever seen. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT. SAN FRANCISCO.—Jack Ness, Oakland's best basement in the Pacific League, hit safely in both games July 14. San Francisco, making forty consecutive games has made at least one hit. This ties the world's record held by Ty Cobb. BOMB.

Six of the nine are graduates of Lathert college, and the other are in attendance at that institution. In a recent game between the Sorlein and Lathert college teams the collegian won, but only after an eleven-inning struggle. NEW YORK.—The yacht Resolute won the right to defend the America's Cup by beating the Vanille off Sandy Rock, Hawaii, and deciding race to select the boat to meet Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock IV. Howard Drew, the negro spinner, is now a dining car on his run takes him in and out of San Francisco every few days. Drew says that if he feels that his limbs are all right he will take a chance in the 100 yards dash on April 15. Sam Johnson, colored bantamweight boxer, has outgrown the middle class.

BANTAM WEIGHT CHAMPION Challenger of the World at 118-122 Pounds, Bar None. How Finney Was Discovered. In 1907, when Jimmy McCarthy was training Young Ziringer for a tour fight with Champion Johnny Coulon, the little negro who could always be found around the Royal Club watchdog, Jimmy McCarthy, Young Ziringer came up short of a sparring partner one day, McCarthy induced the colored wall flower to box a few rounds with Ziringer, with the other hitting him. The beating he received, Finney remembers to this day, and that gave him an idea of what real boxing PETER HARRIS KID FINNEY was. For four rounds, Ziringer used Finney for a human punching bag. Finney ran into one of the dutchman's wicked rights that closed his eye. This sailing into Ziringer, and McCarthy was kept busy picking the wall flower up off the floor. Finney made an imitation for him, and they invited him back the next day. The next day Finney could not be found. A few days later, however, the lure of the gloves became too far for him and the drifted back to the Royal Club only to receive another beating from Ziringer. McCarthy saw the making of a good dress for him and the coaxing and Ziringer's teaching, soon started to teach Finney the art of self defense, hit, miss, and get away. Ziringer of Ziringer's followers. However, Ziringer kept them in the dark until the night of March 31, 1908, when the wall flower substituted the young Ziringer for O'Brien. O'Brien colored boy received the decision over Young O'Brien in 6 rounds, at the Bedford A. C., in Pittsburg. He was trotted in by O'Brien. Since the night of March 31, 1908, when Finney defeated Young O'Brien, McCarthy has brought him to the top of the list. The country is known still over the country. A few of the top notchers Finney has boxed, are: Harry Palmer, Johnny Albanese, Matt Brock, Cal Dalemay, bantam champion Jimmy Walsh, Attel, Frankie Conley, Fatsy Branigan, Eddie Wilmer, Young Eppy, Johnny O'Brien, Bennie Kaufman, Finney's skin will perhaps keep him from being king of all the bantamweights, but still the Smoky City can boast of the greatest colored fighting men ever produced.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL BROWN ATHLETIC-TIME 1:12:38 Meanix, Formerly of Colby College, Sets World's Record for 440-Yard Hurdles. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 16 — The fastest recorded mile ever by man was the athletic Brown Forman, who ran the 12-3-4 seconds in the Harvard Stadium today. His time was 4 minutes 12-3-5 seconds. Tad Duncan ran the 12-3-4 seconds runners. The first quarter was made in 58 seconds, the second in 67 seconds, the third in 68 seconds and the fourth in 70 seconds. Meanix, formerly of Colby College, set a world's record of 54-3-5 seconds for the 400-meter hurdles. Both Tad Duncan ran under colors of Boston University, the former record was 4 minutes 14-2-5 seconds, made on the same track by John Paul Jones. The second record was 4 minutes 2-3-5 seconds. The professional record of 4 minutes 12-3-4 seconds has stood since 1886, having been made by W. W. Hines, a scratch race with A. B. Cummings. Held Since 1910. The former 440-yard hurdle record of 4a-5-4 seconds was made in 1910 by Billy McGee, who amateur record of 574-5 seconds made last year. There was scarcely a breath of air in the stadium, the sky was overcast and the track was lightning fast. Taber, who was returning from France, since his return this spring from Oxford, where he has been a Rhodes scholar, was trained to the minute. He teamed up with the San Francisco meeting. The trial against time had the official sanction of the National Association and President A. J. Lill was one of the winners. BREEZY GOSSIP ABOUT COBBS ABILITY TITANIUM LOPO- SITION (By Christy Matthewson.) NEW YORK.—For a long time I have known Toby Cobb well. He and I sat together through the world's series at the Yankees, and I saw him play baseball for the first time last week when the Giants and the Detroit club took part in an exhibition game. It was some treat to watch Ty. After the contest I concluded he was even better than the newspaper had declared him to be and expressed my delight in his success. My New League, unless, of course, he were a member of the Giants. In that exhibition game I pitched just before first, and faced Cobb only once—enough—but I got a line on him on that single occasion. A man does not have to face a forty-five-second pitch to realize its effectiveness. When Cobb came to the bat against me he said: "Well, Matty, I have heard a whole lot about you. Let's see what you've got." You may take my word for it, I worked hard on Cobb because I didn't want to see him bust that ball. I made sure he was not hurt, and I would not let any one say I slipped him a base on balls to get rid of him, but I tried to keep the ball on the corners as much as possible. It does not matter if he was hurt or not, he won't got after a bad one, and he can but a ball which is anywhere near the gun, He hit one gif me for a clean shirt. I gave him all I had in the gun, "I'm sorry to do it, Matty," he hollowed at me from first base, "but I just want to play we play some ball in this league." When I was with Cobb before the world's series last fall, he kept telling me to play him in stillings, and would prove themselves to be than the Braves. There was nothing to it, according to him before stillings, in straight games in spite of the tips furnished them by Cobb. I had quite a lot of chortling to do, so that the battle was not over. I sort of continuance of this feud of last fall. Therefore, Ty took pains to come around to our dressing room and do a little chortling himself before he left. "I wish our club was in your league," he declared. "We would have that pennant we wear. The Tigers might, at that, the way the contenders in the National have been going lately. It is only the club that makes the obvious clubs which makes the race close. It was a real treat to watch Cobb at work, for he shows all the ability of a teammate, him the Deer trot club would never have won that exhibition game from the Giants, which is the case in many of their contests. He is the best of them in theutation and Cobb's speed which finally beat us in the last inning. He schauer went to the box, we all told him to forget Tey Cobb was in the lineup. "Pitch to him just like you would - off-tended hitter," said Larry Doyle. "Like you would to me for instance." Schauer obeyed instructions the first time he was in the ninth and became so anxious over it he gave the southern streak a pass. That was all he needed, for he did some stealing. Larry Doyle would have get throw at and tease him. However, Billy Evans seemed to call one wrong on Cobb at third base when Ty stole that bag. He looked to Cobb, and he would never have passed him and Doyle would not have dropped that throw. "I thought I told you to forget it was Cobb at bat," said Larry to Rube after the throw. "And I ought to have told you to forget it was Cobb running the bases, so you would have held the ball," replied which was some comeback for a newcomer. "Well, if you had never let him get away from the plate, we would not have thrown it," answered Doyle, which sounded to me like a weak alibi—By Christy Mathewson. SPORT JOTTINGS FROM SHREVE PORT. LA. Mr. Sporting Editor. Sir—There is a gentleman in Shreveport who wants to be a boxing promoter, but he has no financial, and financial, but he has a boy who wants to keep him to make that city known. But he doesn't do this in a business way. He thinks all the boys must stay there and do as he says without a first. First, he had some Frank Hunter there, and the poor boy was without him there and do as he says upon this promoter, he really don't know how the boy got away, but he has left. This gentleman also had Young Joe Gans there, who was handed a rank and gave him fences at five o'clock and gave Rattle Snake Kid a good lace. This boy Rattle Snake was to make the weight of one hundred and fences at five o'clock the day of the fight. Gans is there again to fight Rattle Snake. I heard Snake has another man who has a broken rib, but still he can jump fences and dance the Texas Tommy. Now fans, those of you who have been interested in the letters that came from Rattle Snake man must not listen to the dope that is sent by him, because in Shreveport he is not looked upon as a boxer, but man who wants to boost himself to the top and as a result he breaks a bone or something. I would advise Gans not to stay there long, because he may be influenced by the same gentleman and then good night. Shreveport is not a fighting town as you might expect, but a live man takes it to hand. My advice to all colored boys—think twice before you move toward Shreveport, La. Yours in clean sport, the FAN GAN BILLY McCLURE GETTING IN SHAPE. Special to The Freeman EDDIE YANK GILBERT, OF PHILA DELPHIA, CHALLENGES JESS WILLARD. The latest challenger of Jess Willard is in Indianapolis. His name is Eddie Yank Gilbert, weight 200 pounds, Philadelphia and has engaged in many battles in this country and abroad.

With Lee pitching air-light ball down in defeat, Robert Williams, king-pin short-stop, drove the ball to every angle of the park, and fielded happily as Bryant as fast showed his own as a catch showed the old Chief how to catch.

He was formerly a member of Se" Paul church, the leading white church of that ‘denomination in the city. In the more recent years he has heen connected with the colored branch which he helped organize and where for twelve years he was a lay reader. ‘The wedding took place in the mother church where an audience of both races gathered to see.
