Kentucklans Here by the Hosts. Madam Walker didn't know this Spencer girl. She came to her one day and told her the same story that she had told her struggles and hardships and her desire to become a harpist, and asked Madam if she would give a musicale for her. Madam refused at first and then asked her to know her. She came back in about two weeks saying that she had tried everybody and that no one would consider her proposition unless they said that the people of Indianapolis INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1915 A ROOMER OR BLACKSMITH.

She sprained her knee, and she said that she did not last two days, and another time she sprained it going from the kitchen to the factory to talk as she did when she was in bed. She instead of practicing her music. She never began her work until 7:00 a.m., and always had the afternoons. She never began her work until 7:00 a.m., and always had the afternoons. As well as Madam asked her on several occasions why she didn't give more time to her music instead of sitting in the kitchen, she said she was so happy and overjoyed in having found a true friend and one who could and was helping her to at-work. She said that she could not collect her thoughts as yet, but said that she would be all right in a few days. Madam told her that she was not in love with her music, and since her music an hour before she began her work and while her mind was fresh, and then an hour in the aftermath of her work, she said that she could not. She told was that Madam had gone to Lyon & Healy's and misrepresented her and paid $700.00 just to get the harp back. She said that she would not at all would know that no one would pay out $700.00 unless they had to do so. Madam not only went bond for the work, but also was not going to she didn't pay for it. Madam had to. Madam's attorney wrote Lyon & Healy to release Madam from any further consideration. She said that she could not do it and it did not matter what she did with the harp, whether she did not have any money or was responsible, but if she failed to make her payments, they would take the harp from her and that is just what she had done. Healy found that she had been so badly treated that they gave her another harp. The fact is she sued them and she said to compromise by letting them have the money to do so, and to say right here that Madam Walker has not been to the Harp company for the last three years. Healey said he was a son or phoned. All the information on her was done through her attorney, and Lyon & Healy denied the statement at-work. Healey said, in these malicious publications. She also stated that Madam Walker was very important to keep her from going to school from writing to her. It is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. Madam Walker absolutely knew nothing about Mrs. Stewart and as I know her to be a woman, her usual peek at anyone unless they give her praise. She has done. I can flatly deny the statement. The idea of her keeping a book at home from writing to whom she pleased is absurd. Of course, when she came to girl, as she represented herself to her but was surprised to find that she was a married woman separated from her husband. She was Madam on three occasions that she was going to leave. The fact is she never told her she wasn't going to stay. She always pretended to be supremely happy, she was and just the day before she left, she put her arms around Madam and then to her and how happy she was and that she would never leave her. Now she claims that she kept quiet while she was written when this is the third article that has been written for publication that I have seen. Madam has written only a body who knows me knows that I would not write an untruth for my sister or anyone else. She girls all of my life and like them, and I would take the girl's part first any time if she were right. I feel that it is my duty Madam, as I was the institute of Madam, as I was the institute of her taking Frances, notwithstanding the things that people came and told me to openly graze her, she refused to put her out, even if she had made mistakes and wanted to do better, she was willing to help her.

ONLY DESIRES TO AID PEOPLE OF HAITI WASHINGTON, August 25.—Secretary Lansing said today that the treaty the United States has submitted to that of the United States has been final, proposing ten years American control of the island government's finances had for its sole purpose the establishment of a stable government which could be entirely turned over to the Haitians themselves. The American charge at Port on the Island was to be the Haitian government for an answer to the American proposals today. Secretary Lansing said: "We have only one purpose—that is to help the people in the country be exploited by irresponsible revolutionists. These are not properly revolutions, they are unorganized enterprises which involve no question of people and country. While they are in progress, people are starving in the streets of Port au Prince because they can not afford to eat and abound in the country. Things have been going from bad to worse and something must be done. The United States government has no purpose of starving people in promoting this protectorate. We have not even asked for Mole St. Nicholas. The secret added that, of course, the arrangement would have to be approved by the United States senate. NEWS OF YOUNGSTOWN, O. Special to THE FREEMAN.

Whatever is complaint or where located or how long you have been a sufferer, The Mineral-Cop may believe you of your tittle as it has thousands here in Richmond and other places, and I feel that your chances are equal to anybody else. It is a play that you enact and one of my public demonstrations and see the thousands flocking to hear me explain what the cup has done and is doing now.

Yesterday, I received a letter from Mrs. Elliwa Williams, 719 Norton street, Richmond, Va. that her husband had been down sick. How he satirely lost his sight. She sent him a cup to Chester, S. C., where he lived. In a few days he replied he was now up and ready to work and his sight was restored. Rev. S. M. Watkins, 2417 Cressnley St., Richmond, Va., says, "I'm a superman, I'm the superman of the conference. I suffered with my kinesys and bladder eight years. I can say I got almost instant relief after drinking from your cup." E. M.

She was operated on, but she was not amused and had really thought I was dying. There was no rest for me day or night. One night she froze to death from a happy woman. The second drink I took, all pain left me and I felt like a young convert in the morning. Mrs. Macon Robinson, 240 E. Old Dominion St., South Richmond, came walking fast, climbed upon my demonstration platform and said: "I come to congratulate you on the success of the rheumatism in her leg one year and when she would lift it up she would holler.

New and novel will be the story heard possibly for the first time abounding in the race's grasp upon the situation in whatever enterprise or racial progress it has been to our credit to foster, stage setting, presenting to our ambitions youths the glory of every grace that has bedecked the sons of men with the joy of the race's form of race achievement will receive at the hands of a discriminating public the merits of decent regard, held in the highest rank. It will mark the first mile of what is to be expected of the Negro in the future as coming events, cast their every work wrought by Negro hands the tinsel and coloring deserved to make the whole beautiful and grand.

MAYORS. 10 West 47th St., Chicago, IL. OSKALOOSA, IOWA. Sunday closed the M. E. Conference (Kansas City District) at Wesley Chapel. The work during the previous days was to give the students a little slow, so that it was near 11 o'clock on Sunday morning before services began. Rev. Moorman being the pastor, he brought to the illness of his wife, Rev. O. A. Johnson occupied the pulpit at the A. M. E. church. The passing incident of the session was the presence of the choir of Asbury chapel, Des Moines, Saturday and Sunday, under the direction of Rev. Robert H. G. of this charge, being one of the choicest locations in the conference. The choir accompanists were Mrs. C. H. Wilson, plano, and Prof. T. G. Gurugi. Too much can not be said of Miss Gertrude Wheeler, of Kansas City, who has a very sweet voice, almost equal to Billie Holiday. "Great is the Holy One of Israel" was something out of the ordinary, especially with a good many of our people. Just a case of little high you, you could say, don't like that. It don't sound good. If a few more of us would take a chance in school and finish as did Miss Wheeler many years ago. We would accompany by Miss Edna Jones was simply grand. Miss Jones returns to Sundavla, Kan., in a short time to finish her course in Paris. Numbers rendered by our local talent were very pleasing. Ms. Isabelle Fredrieklo has a very pleasing voice. R. W. Brown from bromoone has a suppressed voice. B. W. Brown has a suppressed voice. The trombone solo by Mr. R. W. Brown was appreciated very much. Sunday evening another treat was enjoyed by the band, a tendance during the entire convention. Glory song by the choir. The scripture was read by Rev. O. A. Johnson. The song was sung by L. Song by choir. Then initiation of district officers of the Epworth League, after which Rev. W. H. Wheeler, district superior, preached a very pleasing sermon from the podium on topics being "Intratitude and the Self Life." The closing resolution of the sermon was read by Miss Hattie Hooke, DeWitt W. Weary, body was most pleasing remembered for favors shown their guests while in Oskaloosa. The closing selection of the sermon was read at Last We Say Good Bye, followed by a recitation by Rev. O. B. Smith of Oskaloosa. BOWLING GREEN, KY. Miss Myrtle Lillard entertained Miss Hattie G.

In other words, Mr. Lansing, the United States government is interested in saving the Haitiens from themselves. The Negro Industrial Exposition is on in Chicago. Efforts have been made to properly memorialize the past fifty years of the race's progress. The opening was a success, and, so far, there is every reason to believe that the exposition is representative of the advancement of the race. Rube's team is having a siege of trouble. The Cubans engaged the American Giants with bricks last Tuesday. A brick pile was near the park. This was discovered and the combatants were at home. The battle was considered a draw, due to the exhaustion of the munitions of war. This happened in Rube's home town, Chicago. A note from London, England, August 24 runs: "Jack Johnson, the erstwhile heavyweight champion, is now an actor. The big black boxer today announced that he has given up the ring for good and will henceforth seek his limelight on the stage. He appears in a leading part of a musical comedy entitled 'Seconds Out', now running at a big suburban music hall. Johnson, who is surrounded by a cast of white actors, is the real hero of the piece." So all the talk about his efforts to meet Jess Willard was the merest moonshine. Johnson has been consigned to pugilistic oblivion, and as it should be, since his defeat. He will be the talk of years, but no one is interested in his talk about coming back. We hope him success in his new field of employment. Germany disavows hostile intent in the destruction of the Arabic. That is all this country needs to care for, so long as the disavowal is honest. This statement may seem careless, but it is not. In a great war like the one raging in Europe the unexpected is likely to happen at any time. That unexpected can only mean the loss of life and property. This is serious, but altogether reasonable. Perhaps there was never a great war but what there was injury done to some who were in no way concerned. These injuries are the incidents of war, and, while they are so, first-class countries never fail to make good at some time—usually at the close of the war. The chances are that there will be other happenings, but so long as it is clearly shown that they were the unexpected it is our duty to seek redress in the courts set apart for that purpose, and only there. The women in seeking the ballot score a good point when they say that they are wage-earners and in business, consequently they need the same kind of protection that others—men in business—need. They want protection as they see it, out of their own convictions as to their needs. In recent years women have been entering all of the avenues of business. This is not to the advantage of men, who now find it much more difficult to maintain themselves, owing to the advent of the women. Under the old order when only men were known in business places there was no reason why the women should be interested in the suffrage. Right or wrong, the women are as great as they are in the business world. The new condition calls for some thought as to their status as citizens. We have not thought well of the women in politics, but if they have got to where they so largely control affairs there is no logical reason for denying them the means employed in general to further general interests. EDITOR OF DALLAS EXPRESS. W. E. King, managing editor of the Dallas (Tex.) Express, was in the city last Monday on his way home from Columbus, O., where he attended the Knights of Pythias encampment. Mr. King put in his time taking in the tour, and he was impressed with what he saw, particularly the Y. M. C. A. building. The Express is one of the best publications of the race, and the editor is duly proud of it, of the success it has met financially and as an influence for the uplift of his race. The paper has for its motto these very poetic lines: "Trims, no sail to catch the passing breeze, files no doubtful flag." Republican stalwartism is the foreword. Mr. King thinks that it is the duty of the Northern Negro to set the Republican party in power and keep it in power. He said that if did this they were rendering Southern Negro the best service. He failed to say why this was. As a stanch party man, what he had to say along this line loses some in value. Other men who have come from the South have said they with the Democrats in power became one of the racial pressure was lifted. And this is true, in part least. We have observed that when such virulent Negro-hating men as Vardaman came into office much of the venom left them. It will be remembered that Mr. Vardaman was going to put the fifteenth amendment to the constitution out of commission before he reached the United States senate. He was not nearly so hostile when he became a senator. Tillman may be cited as an opposite example, but not such an example as one would think at first blush. He flourished for awhile brandishing his weapons, but in time he also came in; he is now mum as an oyster. If there is a consequent letting up all along the line, from that viewpoint, the Democrats, it seems, are good to have in power. We are discussing the question academically, not as something at issue or desired. Perhaps Mr. King has a satisfactory version. He may have had in mind the industrial situation. There are many who hold that Democratic administrations are followed by financial depressions. He may have had the fishes and loaves in mind, when doubtless things would be bright for the politician that happened to be on the proper side. Mr. King thought well of the Freeman's middle course in all things, especially when discussing the race questions. He said that violent speech was simply that, and was answered in kind, by violent speech or action, meaning further sentiment of hate. The editor had views concerning journalism. He said that when one had reached his age he should stand around and boss the job, and not too much of that. Let the boys do the work, is his theory, and as it is with most business men. He is fortunate in finding conditions so farovable that he can stand around and do nothing but boss. Most of us are still in it, every part of it, doing the same routine that we did years ago. We congratulate Mr. King in discovering that there was such an easy place in Negro journalism. We assure him that it sounds very hopeful. Some of us had begun to despair, thinking that the business afforded but a few sweets, if any at all. Again, we congratulate him. LEO FRANK PICTURES BARRED Exhibitions of moving pictures of the body of Leo Frank as it swung from the limb of a tree near Marietta, Ga., after the mob had done its work, were stopped by the police. This is as it should have been. Any exhibitions that are inflammatory, causing friction between races should be stopped. It is to be hoped that the owners of the "Birth of a Nation," who are Jews, will take note of this. Nationality, perhaps, did not enter the minds of the police, but at the end of the war, a soldier felt called on to resent what would have been considered an insult had the exhibitions been permitted. What we are saying may not sit so lightly, but it is the truth. There is very much money wrapped up in those "Birth of a Nation" pictures, and that's the rub, we think. But when a race of ten million is affirmed as the Negro race is over these pictures, and when officials are condemning them as they have been in many localities, there is something more money invested should not weigh analyst the mercuriality of the wrong. The Jews claim to be very friendly to the Negroes in a way. They say that the races have similarly suffered, and because of that fact they say there should be something of a common cause. They have in mind civil rights, freedom from abuse owing to races. And yet in the face of this we find launched amid us the most insinuating vehicle of hate known to our race since the days of freedom. The enterprise is defended on the score that it is legitimate; it does not violate the laws; it is peaceful and decorous, and the rest of it. This is all true, nor do we feel to recite the same of a possible Frank picture exhibition. No; they are not decidedly parallel cases. But is there any doubt about the greatest possibly injured persons in either event? In this respect the cases are parallel. It would be uncharitable to say that the "Birth of a Nation" is studiously circulated for the purpose of creating unkind sentiment against the Negroes—meant to instigate or incite a civil hold up. The production may have arrested that very thing, a civil hold up, by driving the Negroes together as a unit of opposition to the apparently increasing incivilities. While we cannot conceive of such profound spirit of sympathy operating in our behalf, we cannot get away from the fact that the splendid front shown by the Negroes all over the country was indeed very salient. In fighting back the pictures every civil wrong was assaulted. And if there is no great sign of reduction there's every evidence of a splendid mobilization, meaning more of a oneness in opposing civil wrongs. This was merely an unconscious good, and in a somewhat different direction. Nothing has been abated of hostile feeling through mutuality of relations as it should be. The splendid front of defense gets respect, just as determined opposition always gets; consideration, then, if not respect. Germany is no more loved today than she was a year ago, but she is much admired because of her ability to defend herself. We can't see the good of Julius Rosenwald, that whole-souled Jewish philanthropist, spending his hundreds of thousands in the Y. M. C. A. and educational work, in the hopes of doing general good for the race, if there are other movements that negative him. We advance this from a race viewpoint, thinking that Mr. Rosenwald meant that his generosity should be associated with his race. He is also conscious of the fact that his race reaps largely from the Negroes. And we cannot deny that there is also a spirit of reciprocity—wherever the Jews are in business in a colored community they do not hesitate in employing Negroes to help them. This is so general, and the thing of interdependence is so evident that it is difficult to understand, in connection with the other conditions already discussed, why Jews should have anything to do with pictures that are so distasteful to the Negroes and so harmful. HAYTI The Negroes of this country have learned to look on the republic of Hayti as the best example of a country of Negroes by Negroes. In looking over the publications of this country by Negroes it has been observed that a few of them are not in sympathy with the administration concerning its interference in the affairs of the islanders. We have said more than once that the islanders were as free as we are THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER of this country. They fought and gained their independence just as we did. And they are just as secure in their independence as we are if they value their conquest. But do they value what Toussaint L'Ouverture fought and died for? The Negroes of this country should be proud of Hayt's past. It played a most beautiful part when France was in turmoll, when Frenchmen were busy enlarging their own liberties as they conceived them, carving out a territory, introducing the principles set in motion in our own first thirteen states. The great black general, as he was called, was frisked away to France, where he doubtless occupied some solitary cell, and from which no word has come even until this day. But his soul went marching on. His well-begin work was not arrested until the islanders were as free and independent as any other people in the world. Admittedly this was an anomalous condition for modern times. Throughout all time we know of no permanent government erected out of a rebellion of slaves. These were black slaves, Negroes, making for the world's most unusual. The white men of this day, many of them, do not take to the republic on that account, because its seed were watered with the blood of white men. It did the very prodigious thing of turning white men out of a country of valuable history, and which now threatens to be invalidated by small-minded, ambitious men who see self first, in face of the fact that their country is lapsing back to the first estate. More than one of our race journals have called attention to the interference on the part of the United States. They view it with alarm, holding it a menace to Haytii's sovereignty. Viewing the interference aside from the country's recent past and present, there would be reason to oppose it. In fact, our government would not be on the island if it were not for the disturbances, which in recent years have become the rule rather than the exception. As much as we admire independence, the autonomy of government, it is not pleasant to think of it as Haytii has presented it within the recent past. Independence of a country cannot be maintained if the statute in the sense of freedom from influence of other nations. There are business relations, and they must be protected. There are governmental relations, and these must be safeguarded. Travelers go from one state to another; they cannot be struck down with impunity because a nation is independent. Our country is calling the hand of the great Germany because of the loss of the Arabic, the British boat which went down carrying two Americans. Germany is independent, but it recognizes the fact that it cannot be absolute in its conduct in many instances. It must take into consideration the rights of other nations. Hayti in her revolutions cannot protect any of those relations which it as a sister nation is bound to do by her compact. But she must not agree. When a nation assumes independence it assumes all of the responsibilities that are known to independent nations. When Hayti fails in subscribing to these high terms it at once defaults, and at a rigid bar of justice would forfeit its "charter." Race clannishness is not to be exerted to save that country any more than any other country. Let it come clean. It has tried the patience of thoughtful Negroes for nearly half a century. The little country is coveted, all right, because it is a garden spot of the world. But in spite of that it has been shown the greatest lenency. It has been permitted to riot and revolutionize without serious protest of the powers with which it is associated. It has been executed in the little cecpool just as an excruciating in many of the larger cities of this country. Independence is not license. Hayti has put herself beyond the pale of respectful consideration. It murders all of its presidents. To loot the government is the highest ambition; it is the best-known product of that country. If our race men can drink in all of this without making faces, then good-bye to the hopes of Negroes doing anything good by way of self-government. Hayti is gravitating to vassalage, and to where it belongs unless it mends its ways. There is no reason to defend it, nor to feel bad about it. Our country has under way a plan of occupation for ten years, in which time it hopes to put the invalid nation on the road to recovery as was done in Cuba. In this there is only one thing to fear. In the administration of its affairs white men are likely to bob up in the good places, becoming rich and powerful, to the detriment of the islanders. Our country is eminently right in the occupation, or any other country or thing that can restore order in that distracted country. We do not wish to see Haytii surviving along its lines of recent years. We wish to see it independent, but not the kind of independence it has been exhibiting. It has no right to disgrace the Negroes around the world. They are a part of the United States Negroes' race problem. AMERICAN GIANTS WIN THIRD STRAIGHT GAME Lloyd and Gama to Play with "Rube" Foster—Scheduled to Play Aug. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO. Aug. 24.—The baseball fans of Chicago are elated over the fact that Mr. "Rube" Foster, world's greatest baseball manager, is to have a stronger team at the close of the season. Preparatory to their leave for the West, on last Sunday, Mr. Foster made the announcement that he has engaged Mr. Lloyd, the famous shortstop of the Lincoln Stars, and "Judy" Gans, the celebrated left fielder. When the anglers were with joy, for it has been six Sunday's since Mr. Foster's American Giants has won a game. Speaking to the Freeman "I have engaged Mr. John Lloyd, captain of the New York Lincoln Stars, to play a revelation in baseball with the American Giants last season. The fans will be impressed, and I will stop in the business and I am convinced that I can not do without him. The fans of Chicago deserve the best team in the league, and I terminated to have the best. Mr. Lloyd will report for the Aug. 29 game and will play in the league and 1917. The team the remainder of the season and 1916 and 1917 will be stronger than any team in the country, and will be able to obtainable and with what men will journey to California, where we hope to return to Honolulu and upon our return will play all western teams. We will make the longest trip ever made by a team, and we will chance to see our lineup of the team that will be the team for 1916, prior to our going to California." Play Ball Recently. The American Giants have been playing fine ball the last week. The great playing has been the talk of the city as the Giants crowded the park to see the famous American Giants play the Cuban Stars. To date they have taken the first three. Sunday's Game. The American Giants won their first Sunday victory in nearly two months yesterday when they defeated the team at the home plate. The same teams will play today. The final inning of the game was a thriller, as the Cubans tied up the score on a pass, an error, and Figaroal's single, a scoring marker with two out on two singles and a stolen base with Bockman and Barber figuring in the victory.

A small sized squabble on the ball field, which was uited, took place at Schorling's part of the game, and lasted ten minutes after the crowd had left the park, the corner of Thirty-ninth street and Wentworth avenue being turned into a battle field. The team that Giants won the ball game, 3 to 1, but honors were even on the fight. **Resume Battle on Street.** The trouble opened in the fourth hour when the team's fielder, kicked Umpire Kelly for calling him out at third on an attempted steal. The team's fielder rented in the jaw and the other Cubans rushed on to the field, hurting bats and balls at the local players. The police finally quieted them and the game pro- Torrenti and Crawford met on the street after the game and attacked each other with paving stones piled up by the road, and they were distract. Rube Foster ended the fight by leading the Cubans away. His own team was out, leaving Bala with boss and let them retire unscathed. A few heavy bows were landed without serious results. Crawford and Patron hooked up in a pitching duel which was decided in the end. The Cubans passes off Patron, along with a sacrifice, netted two runs. The Cubans were the first to score, a single by Rios and a sacrifice, with Torreni's out, producing a run. Giants Tie Score in Fifth. 084 American Giants. R. H. P. A. Barber, ss. R. H. P. A.

Montgomery Athletics have played twenty-six out one. The colored bats are any semi-professional baseball team of any state for a series of five or seven games for the championship of the United States. Mr. Kendrick threw three men with snitters which makes the Athletics stronger than ever -Thomas Cagly and Burton. He'd harden to say that he was going out west soon so as to try to arrange with fast teams to be booked for next season. Should he succeed he will play Cincinnati the Athletics doublesmen. A. B. C's.

COLORED GIANTS HAVE MOST BRICKS AND WIN CLOSE GAME CHICAGO, August 24—Playing in true major league fashion, outfielder Torrenti, of the Cuban baseball team, kicked umpire Pike Kellner the ribs during a bum decision in the fourth inning of the Cuban-American Giants' tilt at Schoeiling's park yesterday. Then it came together, using masks, bats, balls and even chairs. The colored Giants won the game, 3 to 1, because they had more reinforcements in the shape of bats. While the battle was raging five uniformed copers, stationed at the park, jumped into the fray. They weren't modes of defense, but the rioters ran short of hand grenades inside the park and carried their warfare to the street, where the workmen were busy tearing up a broken water main. Bricks were plenumbers, the bat shape itself into trench warfare. REV. D. NORMAN CELEBRATES SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY.

Owsley, Manager. Mamle Selby opened at the Crown Garden on Monday and three attractive singles turns. Her number is a kid character which is very becoming to Miss Selby, who is principal of the school. Lee and Brownie, two girls, are well known in the theatrical business, they perform. Their numbers were songs, all high class. Miss Lee does some pretty prancing over her did character, "I Didn't Think You Cared," and "If the World Would End Tonight Fd Be nobody." The act was well received. Little Jeff is a good comedian. He kept the house going all the while. He is a great friend and told in good style. He sings "That's Enough," a humorous song which made a hit. His rheumatism song was also a hit. He grew in Time," is accompanied with his own slide. The audience gets the laugh. Good way. Good way. Parker and Young do some stand out work. Billy Young has a beautiful vaudeville voice which she sings. Parker and Young voice is also fine. Her work at all times is highly pleasing. Parker distinguishes himself by his eccentric acting. In this respect he changed by himself. He never fails to make a hit. Kirkpatrick and Owley are well known. Kirkpatrick is called in recently from Richards and Pringle's minstrels, where he was a valuable man. He is visiting the audience. He is an Indianapolis boy. Owlsley is our Tim, the wizard. They are presently in a version "Mind the Difference," and laughable sketch in which Owlsley is the comedian. He hits 'em up and wins out. He is also the one to show you very fine baritone voice. The skits especially when he sings "Tm the Devil." His "Dream Girl" was also a pretty scene. He was also a very funny character was unusually good owing in part to Kirk's "devil," which was a fine character. He had some good lines, and which he knew how to say. He was not, but he was applauded just the same. PARKER & YOUNG—MISS BILLY YOUNG & THE FAMOUS BILLY YOUNG Those who have not seen that famous minstrel and all-round performer, the late Billy Young can see something more. He is the man who wrote the song of Parker and Young, at the Crown Garden's this week. The team is unusual and interesting all the time, with the song, "Salvation Nell," where they both show to advantage. They conclude this number with a humorous line, "You're a musical deepness that is good to hear. Her total effect as a stage in character pressures one that way in her features and costuming—a rather striking per- oil av LITTLE TOMMY PARKER. sonality. With that beautiful voice she sings that very sentimental song. It was a very sad sort. Miss But Me is very evident that the men to a unit thought that she could have about as many men as she wanted it, she cared for them. Parker's style of dancing which is his own, is hard to beat. No more eccentric steps have been worked out than those he does. His song "Aba Dab Adab" scored nicely. His line of talk was wholly new to the audience; hits were plentiful. The closing was an amusing little love stunt, just enough of it to win. They close with the duo "Daddy," where both of them did pretty work, making for a fine closing. Sally Young is handsome; her stage manners show her to be a thorough actress. Mrs. Jennie Haston, well known in the theatrical profession and the leading lady in the Labord Hill Co., has seen the leading lady in the舞stest, and 13 and 16 Wortimer street, London, England, and sends regards to all friends.

THE LINCOLN JUBILEE NATIONAL HALF CENTURY ANNIVISARY EXPOSITION OPENS AT THE COLISEUM. After the pictures of local business places and baseball scenes, had been run off, people were still marching into the old Pekin theatre, now almost new, to witness Harrison Stewart, the popular high comedy legitimate comedian, who opened at that house for a run in one act musical comedies, for two performances nightly, last Monday evening for an indefinite period. The "Whitewash Man", which was the first offering, was well staged with handsome costumes, lights and scenery. The story of the play deals with a white-wash man who is full of con and collects money in advance on his nerve until he discovers that his hypnotic power is a great essential to his qualities as a grafter. Harrison Stewart pillow HARRISON STEWART Pekin Theatre. in the title role was a signal for good humor from the gallery in a character that was so funny and yet pleased the lower floor knew some people sent flowers. In the hypnotic scene Mr. Stewart made the house should leave the lower floor and should leave the stage on the final scene, but I have seen it done. Sam would be beamed, and we beamed. Beau White Brown, played their parts well. Zenobia Allen was a greatly improved actress and Lawrence Wise was a very talented actress and George Hall made a flip impression as a tramp, but his voice was accentuated. Miss Rena Blunt, a very young singer, whose voice gives great promise, sang "No One to Say They'll Wise," was charmingly rendered and received encores. The chorus numbers were among other members in the company were Beau Bishop, Ethel Jacobs, Lorretta Jacobs, Maud Gaines, Sallie Wise, and Robert Foley, Sultzer, J. C. Lillard and Lottie Bryant. The staff: Robert Foley, lender, Sallie Yorker, and lessee of the theater. Harrison Stewart, director of amusements, Harry C, Jenkins, manager; Sam C, Masson, manager and Frank L.

Bob Russell, the band's lead singer, and Anna Truman, William Dumont, Lyllian Brown and Little Baby Mack, a clever New Jersey soubrette, distinguished themselves and the show went big. The Griffin sisters—Alr Dome. The Air Dome. The air domain, regardless of the chilly weather. Besides the Griffin sisters, who made a hit, Dollie Stewart and Cherokee Kiss. The entire show was appropriate for open alr. There are 500 seats and warm weather will fill them. **Abbie Mitchell at the Monogram.** Wonderous applause greets Abbie Mitchell at the Monogram when she repeated her last week's success at the other house. Billy Mills and Miss Jill Mitchell—fifth-st success. Johnson and Button gave a very clever sketch and Frankie Barton and her Picks returned popular. **Tallaboo Under Text.** The Tallaboo company filled the tent last Sunday when 200 people visited Tallaboo, which gave satisfaction. The Picture Houses. The States Theatre with its notable orchestra and first run pictures, is drawing at Forty-Seventh street, now the big audience house of that district, continues to grow popular. The Palace, a cast of a fine class of patrons and perfect pictures, is easily holding its own. The Fountain, at Thirty-fifth and Grand Boulevard, is now open again and is hosting a series of pictures. The Washington is holding its own both matinee and night daily and the patronage is big. The new drawing large houses owing to the novel apartment of movies seen on the program. Stage Notes and Stroll News The Freeman has warned the people coming into the city to be aware of thieves and confidence people and still many thefts have been reported. If Chicago is the best city in America, the money, it is also the easiest place to lose. There has been a significant complaint of the unsanitary condition of nearly all the restaurants on State and side streets. People have been made sick by waiters who pick their teeth to the present of customers, while they are eating. Unlimited men who dine at lunch counters bring in a cheap foul lighted cigar and rest it on the counter while eating. Such filthy things should not be allowed by the management of restaurants. The South Side music store in Prof. W. L. Jackson's studio up stairs at 3109 State street, has been much appreciated for handiness. Walter Quinn, Jr., while passing through the city enroute east on a private car, Friday, August 20, spent a few hours with his friends. Carlita Day states that she hadn't given up doubling up with Theodore Pankey a thought, but she and Chas, Johnson, formerly of Johnson & Dean, had been together and rumored has it that they are contemplating a joint partnership.

He was the guest of Jack Kidman, his correspondent, for an hour at the Richmond hotel, not is a Hercules, but a copper colored kid, small in stature, weighing 130, pounds. He was a rugged impression to his athletic figure. He is only 19 years old, but of international importance. What we admired most is that he is unassuming, but he is a man of great what amused us was that he did not quite wake up to the fact that he was up against the press gang notable of his "Wandering Albatross" pamphlet with the critic's picture on it, and a copy of the State street Stroll. We tried to drink or smoke cigarettes nor did we ask him. But he has promised to send a cut of his photo to the scribe later, as he was loaded down with newspapers.

Some day he may be a sort of second Billy Kersand. 'Howsom-ever,' he's a mighty good sort right from this part of the letter he wrote: Laughter is inseparably associated with the colored race; a gift from God. With us it is a kind of sixth sense. No matter how deep the work of the� has been a translation of how poignants the disappointment, we have been able to smile. Even while the tears are falling, they are transformed into opalescent crystals which reflect a glorious rainbow that gladdens and inspires with its promise, better than the common. It is saving grace; without the colored race would be as the Indian, nearing extinction. With me the badge of color is not a bandrol of shame. It is something to win success and achieve distinction under a handicap. With me the badge of color is not an up with resentment, but instead, conjures up a picture of the faithful old Negro uncles and the great hearted black mammies, watching over old Missus and Massa, while valiant men bought to give them a good deal of love, which after it was theirs they were loath to accept. There's a sermonette on the saving grace of humor which might be mentally digested with profit by many a man whose skin isn't super-tanned. And a sermonette on the way to work that every Negro would take by If every Negro would take the view held by this one—that it is something to win success and achieve distinction under the handicap of color—it wouldn't hurt you nor need you hear any more about the race problem. As a matter of fact, the minute a Negro starts out in earnest to discount this handicap by decent living and hard homework, the support hard work will of every right-minded member of the community. And right-minded folk are in the majority, everywhere. The minute a Negro applies to his daily doings industry and integrity, he places himself in the way of approval.

They could not accommodate Mr. Dick Wyatt's ten-piece band gave a concert every day at 2 o'clock and is now playing all the latest rags, which makes him a man of interest. He gave it to little Kirt Watson, because he sure is playing some baritone. Now Mr. Sam Williams is making sure the man is ragged but right. Mr. Frank Moss is everywhere you put him. He is imitating Joe White on his face, the man is ragged some bass drummer. Mr. Price is still doing good with his Midway cafe. He always has a smile on his face on Kid Mack, our port-noter, is sure going some with his pillow tops and babies. He went visiting in Louisa for one day, but was back on the job for two.

Back of this lack is a prenatal inclination to rest—some call it laziness, some call it careless. Aeral decades ago by certain scheming politicians who in the guise of friends, proved the worst of enemies, to the effekts of the wealthy, to them, the white folks owe them a living. And a complete misunderstanding of the Negro nature on the part of about 100,000 people, the white where—industry, patience, the word draws no color line at, any of these.

You should find out who is booking a theatre before you write. Why don't you make your business a profession and not a pastime? Every colored star has shown some originality. Why not be original? Managers of colored theatres should organize for more reasons than one. There are enough colored theatres to keep all good acts working, if they only knew how. There are a few houses in the East laying the biggest and best attractions. Find out where they are. Keep your act clean. Smut gets you a laugh but the same ones who laugh knock you after he sees the clean acts on the same bill. This has been the worst season in your career. Managers financially, but it didn't have any effect on the colored performers. Why? It is a pity that more of our colored capitalists don't invest in the theatrical business and stop the white man from making money in your town. There are three agents booking colorful theaters: S. H. Dudley, Washington, D. C.; M. Klein, Chicago, Ill., and C. W. Morganstern, New York, N. Y. Big time acts. Hide away until you can get your salary on the big time and real good time when you have to cut your salary. See who books it. If you would pay the same amount of time to originality that you do to copying you would help elevate the colored profession and work more often. Dudley must be of some help to the actors in the call of the big acts at the Howard in Washington, Hippodrome in Richmond and Standard in Philadelphia and the managers stuff wise and asking for big stuff. If the house has an agent, it doesn't do any good to write the manager of the house, or the agent and some sore-headed agents keep you out of work for so doing, but the fair-minded agent will say, "Oh, the house didn't know I was booking the house." THE ALABAMA MINSTRELS' PLEASURE PARTY (By Bessie Edgington.) The Alabamas are now touring the Rockies in their same old good fashion. They are going to Quaker Oat grin (that won't come off). Our trip through Glacier National Park is one to be long remembrance. We will be on a trip through that land mark. Nevertheless, some of our minstrels had to be chained to a chair, the thick Old Gabriel had blown his bugle, but instead it was Jeff Smith blowing his new Holton trumpet. We were at the Park station while the passengers and guests of that noted resort listened to and applauded. We are going into Washington, where we shall do some more sightseeing as that is our daily occupation. When so it seems as Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Parks have got to be as much tourists as any of the bunch. We will join out in Big Sandy, Montana, in person of a bobaled Shepherd dog, so we named him Bobby, and he is quite a company of Mickey.

There is one great trouble with some of our so-called stars who have the enlargement of the head, or in other words, the big eyes and big attractions when they do not draw a penny in any man's house. There are only a few box office attractions on college campuses, like the Chicago and Philadelphia. You can count all of them on one hand and these that figure they are, will jump contracts for a couple of dollars more to learn that this one man that offers him a few dollars more for two weeks is only using him at the asleep minute to get the job. The act has struck out for more money and rather than give them their salary, he wires you and you take it up at what they are doing. You have little more than the man you had signed contracts for, had offered you. You don't stop to think that you will want a good figure some times and he turns you down for someone else. Now the managers in the East are going to want a good figure some times and contract jumpers, as your word is all you have and if you don't make that good, there is no confidence to place in you. Now Andrew Tribble is the manager of the all of the managers to be on the look-out for him, as he has jumped the contract at the Lyric Theatre, Wilmington, and had other time to follow.

MONUMENT TO MARK GRAVE OF FAMOUS MARE DEAD AT LEX. INDEXED Lexington, Ky.—Nancy Hanks, famous trotter and brood mare, died last week at Hamburg place, Bayette county, where she chased the mare several years ago to pension her pluring the remainder of her career. Hamburg Belle (2:01 1-4), Major Delmar (1.59 1-2), noted thoroughbred race horses, and her jockeys are buried, has been designated more than two years for her last resting place, and Mr. Madden will erect a memorial to her. She was foaled on the farm of Hart Boswell in this county in 1886. Terre Haute, Ind., in 1888. Her greatest and last race was at Independence, I., when, as a five-year-old, she dressed three heats in 2:12, 2:12 3-4 and 2:12, which still stands as the world's third consecutive heats to high wheels. She was developed by the local horseman, Ben Kenney, and raced by him over the Kentucky fair circuit in 1889. She won the race but a single heat, closing the season with a record of 2:24 1-2. In 1890 she started in six races and won all of them in straight heats, closing with a record of 2:24 1-2. In 1892, she reduced the record of Suno from 2:08 1-4 to 2:07 1-4, and two weeks later at Independence lowered her record to 2:09 1-4. These races after August, 1890, were driven by Bud Dole. BRAVES OPEN FINEST BALL PARK IN COUNTRY National League Officials Attend Cere monies—Capacity is Over 43,000. Boston—Braves field, the greatest baseball park in the country, was open on Monday, the day of the National League. Prior to the game with St. Louis, the pennant won by the Philadelphia Athletics last year was to be unfurled. It was to mark the dedication of the grounds at the 1914 team, whose sensational transition from tail enders to world leaders within three months, caused the club to outgrow at Wakefield Park, which had been its home for forty years. President John F. Kennedy and all the club members of the National League came here to attend the opening ceremonies. It was expected the fair weather, which would closely approach, if it did not break, all previous records for attendance at a baseball game. Indications that such a record would be largely taken. The new grounds, worth $600,000, contain the most numerous seating arrangements in a baseball park, and the most extensive field that ever staged a baseball game. The grand stand, a concrete stadium, sweeping in a great circle almost from foul line to foul line, with tiers of 10,000 feet below the street level, will accommodate 19,000 persons. Pavilions in right and left fields contain seats in the "bleacherites," a field is a stand for the "bleacherites," holding 6,250. Provision has been made for double decking the grand stand and the bleacherites are needed, adding 30,000 seats to the park's capacity. The wall which surrounds the plant in left field is 385 feet from home plate, in right field 500 feet and in extreme center field 580 feet. To have a home run beyond these bounds is a seat to challenge the heaviest hitters. BREEZY BASEBALL GOSSIP FROM WORLD'S GREAT PITCHER. New York, August 19.—The stars in every profession and position seem to want to be stars in another field. This tendency crops out stronger in sports. For instance, Ty Cobb has always longed to be a pitcher, and this ambition has been paired with his usefulness as an outfielder. It hurt his arm. I believe Ty would have the best "souper" among the outfielders today if it had not been for him. Three or four seasons back, the regular fan can see Cobbs almost any day before the game winding up with an outfielders' cry for yellow curves. Once in a while in a practice contest, he would work in the box. This "souper" he would want to be a twirler" he confided to me once. "A man he always wanted to use his head when he is in the box." "I have had a better arm today," Cobb remarked to me, "if I hadn't thought I was a pitcher and kept trying." Young Brickley, the great Harvard football player, the greatest ever in the game, in my opinion, is a friend of mine. He was often to play with the Athletics for a time and is a fair ball player. Collins tells me that the elder Brickley, the Harvard player was often to play with him, to play baseball "I don't like football much," said Brickley to Collins. "Baseball is my favorite game." Young Charley Brickley, fresh and full of health, is playing professional ball this summer more for the fun of it than anything else. There is no reason to play with him. Tell me he is not much of a baseball player and has no chance to be a big player. The Yale-Harvard game at the Folo ground with three on, but that is no reason for grave criticism. Brickley was playing the worst sunfield in the game, and he was wearing glasses for the first time. He did not try to alibi himself afterward for the error, either, which shows he would have been better. Dressing in the clubhouse he said. "Well, I ought to have had that fax," I thought. "And it was the first time you ever wore smoked cheaters, wasn't it?" I hadn't been able to fill the job. I shouldn't have been out there, he answered. This is what I call the spirit of the room. Once I met Booth Tarketing, the writer of fiction, whose stories I enjoy more than those of any man at the gym. "I am always trying to be an artist in my leisure time," declared Tarketing. "I can express and present his ideas so much more vividly than the can who has to depend on words, which are so complex." I myself like pitching fairly well, but I would rather feel a solid base of knowledge. Honus Wagner. I have always thought I would be happier if I were a great batter because then I could have been a great day. And so it goes with all of us. BATTLING JACK RUSSELL BARS NOBODY.

FAILS TO IDENTIFY LYNGCHERS OF FRANK Coroner's *Jury Reports* Prisoner Hanged "by unknown Parties" After Short Delibration. MANIETTA, Ga., Aug. 24. Without witnesses a single cleavar to the identity of any person connected with the lynching of Leo M. Frank, near this town, witnesses a jury today returned a verdict that Frank came to his death by hanging, at the hands of parties unknown. The jury confirmed that they had endeavored diligently to get at the facts of the lynching, but so far they have not succeeded. "Of course you know these things are kept pretty close and are hard to find," said MAYOR E. P. Dobbs, of Marlton. Deputy Sheriff Hicks and City Marshal ooeyed stated they were working on the lynching, but threw no light on the identity of the persons who participated in the lynching. The nearest disclosure as to what happened in the oak grove near the Frey gin came from the Benson, N.J., place soon after the lynching party had parked its automobiles by the roadside place soon after the lynching party had parked its automobiles by the tree where death awaited him. Benson, said he had a "pretty good suspicion" as to what was going on but he did not stop to see it and he did not recognize anybody in the party. Text of Verdict. The text of the jury's verdict was as follows: In accordance with the inquisition taken this 17th day of August, 1915, and completed this 24th day of August, 1915, before John A. Booth, coroner of said county, upon the body of Leo Frank, who was going on the week of the dead in the dust of woods about two miles east of Marietta in said county, and near what is known as W. J. Frey's gin on the Roswell public road upon the oaths of Dr. W. H. Perkinson, J. N. P. A. A. G. H. H. H. H. H. J. P. Shaw and G. A. Griffin, sworn according to law as jurors and charged by John A. Booth to inquire when and how and in what manner the said Leo M. Frank came to his death, and the said J. M. Frank was at the same time return the following presentments and in reference to the aforesaid matters and things concerning which we were sworn to inquire by the said John A. Booth, coroner. We attach the evidence adduced at this inquest to this, our information and make the same a part of it. "We, the jurors, aforesaid, upon our 17th day of August, 1915, in said county, come to his death by being hanged by the next until dead, by unknown cause." Makeup of Jury. John T. Dorsay, attorney, of Marietta, represented the state of Georgia. Gordon Gamble acted as special attorney for the Booth. The jury was composed of six resigned members. W. H. Perkinson being the foreman. Dr. C. D. Elder, the first witness, testified to viewing and holding in the ark grove near the Frey cotton gun. Dr. Elder did not know Frank personally, but he knew Frank. He was not present when the body was cut down. He said you would like to state to the jury," he was asked. "Nothing except that that morning on the road I saw several automobiles on the Roswell road going in the direction that was this," "What time was this?" "Between 6:30 and 7 o'clock." "Where were you at the time?" "We were in Cochran, a neighbor. We were in a buggy, and I had driven my horse into a creek to water him, when three or four autos were in it, sir; I could not tell whether they were negroes or white people." **Star Witness on Stand.** W. J. Frey, owner of the place on which Frank was lynched, and regarded the man as a sworn awn. Frey, an ex-shriver of the county, took the stand in his shirt sleeves. He is a very large man of about forty-feet tall, brown mustache and dark complexion. "Mr. Proy," asked Acting Solicitor Joseph B. Cohen, "I attended his trial in Atlanta two days, but I did not know him. I were among the first to discover the body." "Well, sir, when I got there with them, I was in the grove with wantn't anybody in the grove but Leo "When did you first know anything had happened that morning?" I think it was about. I stocked that book and phoned me the state prison farm had been broken into and Frank taken out. Walter Gann, a traveling man from Augusta, was at the attack on the room. Mr. Gann and I were in the bed about 6:30 or 7 o'clock when three or four automobiles came whizzing by the place. They were about forty yards apart. Autos Running Rapidly. "How fast were they going?" "Well, sir, they were going along pretty pret; I was going twenty-five or six miles an hour." "Then what happened?" "Well, sir, having heard about the break at the prison farm, he stopped right before I was some doing in the way of Frank." Frey said the man he afterwards found out was Frank was seated in the ear seat of one of the passing cars with a man on the foot of him. "He was Frank dressed." "Looked as if he had on a thin shirt of some sort. He was bareheaded." "Did you know at the time this man was had?" "I thought it was him, but I couldn't recognize him." "Did you recognize any of the other parties in the cars?" "No, sir!" "Do you know now who they were?" "No, sir." "Were they masked?" "No, sir, but they all wore goggles and their faces were covered with red dust." Frey said he passed the actual scene of the hanging without noticing anything out of the way. "I was very idea anything had happened that close to my house. So I came on to town, but didn't see anything yet. I went to the cemetery where Mary Phan than was there was nothing there." I came back into Marietta and met Gus Benson, who said: "Bill, those automobiles turned in the road by your gin." I went back to the gin and when we reach the grave there was the body of Frank hanging. Woman Saw Nothing Unusual. Mrs G. W. Ayers, who lives near the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Frey gin, said she saw nothing unusual the morning of the lynching. "Were you told by anybody not to stay about the front of the house that stay about the front of the house that morning. No, there has been a report like "No, sir; there has been a report like that, but it wasn't true." J. A. Benson, a Marietta merchant, known as Gus Benson, was the next witness. He drove in from the country, so he lynch party passed a Fryer place. "Driving on into town I saw three on four cars parked near the Frey gin," saidenson. "Did you stop?" "No, sir." "What did you see?" "Now, one man step out of one of the cars." "Did you recognize him?" "No, sir," he said emphatically. "Did you recognize anybody in any of the cars?" "No, sir, I was going pretty fast." "Well, where did you get the idea that Fink had been hanged at the gate?" "From the cars there, and what I heard when I passed the Frey place." "It was a guess, then." "Excited." "Well, sir, when I came by the Frey place, Bill called to me that he thought there was something doing. I had seen him in the prison farm. It happened at the prison farm. So it all excited my suspicion." "Did you see again or recognize any of the witnesses you passed at the gin?" "No, sir." H. H. Loney, city marshal of Marletta, said he was surprised until the body was discovered. "No, sir. I saw nothing unusual or alleged, but I saw it straight, alight, although I was up until 2 a.m. THE SUPREME LODGE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS AT COLUMBUS, O. ALL OFFICERS RE-ELECTED EXCEPT ONE MAN. Tidrington Of Indiana Succeeds Ree of Indiana On Temple Commission. Dr. Joseph H. Ward Re-elected Supreme Medical Register. The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias convened in its eleventh bi-lennial session at Columbus, Ohio, on the day of August for a five-day session. The meetings were held in the Chamber of Commerce, convened in Python colors. The town was ablaze with colors of the order and the main thoroughfares leading to the chamber of Commerce, in honor of the coming of the Knights. The Uniform Rank was present in great numbers—probably six thousand strong. This was probably the first of the great greats of the most gorgeous spectacle ever present at a Supreme Lodge session. The daily press took special cognance of the occasion and covered the meetings daily and in detail, giving full accounts of the meetings and illustrating the same by humorous years. The first of the day and we were entertained by such high-class artists as Madame Annith Patti Brown and Madame Rachael Walker but recently returned from an old. The Uniform Rank inaugurated a new feature at this session in the form of a kind of mardi grands with which the participants were driven to the green grotesquely dressed. This parade was over two miles long. The reports were most encouraging as the first of each progress since the last session. The condition of the order is gratifying to its membership. The most important business transaction of the session was the sale of the character of the state of Virginia, thus ending a controversy covering a period of years. The big name of the Uniform Rank took place in Friday and was participated in by over five thousand-unformed Knights. Citizens of Columbus bore testimony to the fact that it was the most gorgeous parade ever staged in All the officers were re-elected except one man on the Temple Commission, who was displaced by Grand Chancellor, E. G. Tidrington, of Indiana, on this commission. The most spirted contender was the office of Supreme Medical Register, which has been held for the last three consecutive terms by Dr. J. W. Hammingham of St. Louis, where it was placed in nomination against Dr. Ward and the re-election of Dr. Ward was opposed by Grand Chancellor, E. G. Tidrington, of Indiana, the nomination of Dr. U. G. Mason. Notwithstanding this fact, however, Dr. Ward proved such a favorite in the election, the nomination of Dr. U. G. Mason. Notwithstanding this fact, however, Dr. Ward proved such a favorite in the election, the nomination of Dr. U. G. Mason. Notwithstanding this fact, however, Dr. Ward was unanimously re-elected. This was a worthy and fitting attribute to the faithful efficiency of the order in the past six years and an expression voicing the high esteem in which he was held by the order throughout the nation.
