Dougherty, New York's Brilli Star of Ethiopia?" Pageant Announc Acquaintances in the Capital—Form fleent Silver Service—Ready for the (By R. W. Thompson.) Bureau of the Freeman, 1223 S. Strete. N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 15.—Bishop Alexander Walters, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, the race's real "constructive statesman," has been the chief spokesman for the M. A. E. Manning, of Indiana, editor of the virile Indianapolis World, the eminent prelate paid his respects to the White House, saw in his book "The Capitol in their offices near the Capitol, made a round of the executive departments and put in some telling blows everywhere for deserving mention, in regard, regardless of affiliations. While personally identified with the Democratic organization, and loyal to its interests at all times, he is not a party member, but rather a party boundaries and is for the black man's spirit be he Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Bull Moose, Populist or whatnot. He is not a politician, but a man calls himself as that the man is honest, upright and capable—a real man in every sense of the word. He is one of those of his people who show themselves worthy of support. Bishop Walters is a man of the masses. There is no mystery about his life, his work and his street. Everybody who has a word to say worth while can see him at almost any hour, day or night. He has a strong sense of humor and a "national" an individual is rated by him on his intrinsic merits and one person weighs more than another only as he demonstrates his superior value by his The governing principle in Bishop Walters's makeup is his unaltering opinion. He has faith in the future of religious triumph of the cause to which he has devoted his life. Just as men differ in religious beliefs, so do business methods and means of reaching desired ends, he holds that they will and should differ in political reasoning, some of them in the national equation. If they are not permitted to differ, as other classes, there must be a "square" with the American principle of personal or political liberty, then it is the duty of somebody to take steps to change the course of his career enforced by few of his generation and with leonine strength divinely betrayed. Bishop Walters has brought the task of the governor to any contemporary in the realms of national politics. Considering politics as a science, Bishop Walters attaches a critical banner with a skill of a trained diplomat, and he has succeeded in making civic recognition, of the Negro in the Democratic continent-wide American issue, in which all must play a star part. Some Luscious "Plums" on the Way for Colored, Wilcoxites. Bishop Walters, confirming popular rumors that have been going the rounds, is of the opinion that will make one of the suburban official "plums" to follow the efforts to faithful followers of the fortunes of the administration. With the international administration we wish that the administration will hand the administration leaders will turn their attention to home matters and see to it that the colored brother, so patiently awaiting the need to the conviction that he references with national forces like Senator John W. Kern, of Indiana, as well as others high in Washington official stood to the conviction that this important matter. If the available positions are indicated by anyone in authority, the Bishop is confident that he will be the right men for the places. The vacant Recordship of Deeds, the practically vacant Liberian mission, the mission of the American mission, Bishop thinks a same-colored man would fit in better than a representative of any other race, are prime topiaries of deliberation in this connection. A variety of the departmental service and in the departmental service throughout the country are being studied in a view of bringing workable suggestions to the attention of the President. Shallow Walters is anxious for the resolution of as many colored Wilsonites as possible, particularly interested in the success this time of his old friend and faithful supporter, Mr. A. E. Manning, of Indianapolis, and season and out of season and always adequate reward. Mr. Manning is well aware of the endorsement Democratic committee and support of Senators Kern and Shivey, and the Hon. Thomas Kermagt, of Indianapolis, as the endorsement of the leading Negro candidate, not draw party lines on a useful matter. In view of the fact that the Liberian mission, the surrender of by the Indianese delegation is taken to meet that they will be allowed to select a candidate from Indianized colored man they may this being the case, the chances provided for seem to be exceptionally bright. Shannon Walters is looking far into 1914. Noting the decision of the United States Supreme Court on the grand-rather clause, with Chief Justice White standing sponsor for the best sentiment of the South, the Zion replica of Brutus, sees a silver lining to the clouds of today and is girding up his lotions anew to the challenges of the definite announcement which he will give to the public anent the large issues the Negro and other Americans are facing in the campaign. The Bishop is enjoying the best of health and is never so hardened for his people, be it through church or state. He is glad the exposition at Chicago proved to be a success, and the general prosperity shown by the immense throngs that have graced the various business, fraternal and religious gatherings at many points during the past. The Bishop Walters has sublime faith in the ability of the Negro to master the problems of the future. This faith is justified by the history of the past.

He is much in demand on big occasions not only as a representative of the Negro race, but as a representative of the late Bishop Arnett has there been a representative in the Methodist Church, with full officials, city, state and nation, as Dr. Carey.

Dr. A. J. Carey, "The Man Eloquent—Dr. A. J. Carey, in its college of bishops at least one of its number who is in close touch with the great work of the Church, needs in all other institutions, needs the protection of the state. To have one of its official heads, at high government officials, city, state and nation, is not only a helpful church need, but strong with which it is connected in the phase of the needs of the church. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, regarded by many as the most brilliant man of the world, is hopeful that the next General Conference of the A. M. E. Church will see the necessity of again through intelligent and influential relationship, in touch with the government at Washington which is occupied by the lives of the late Bishops Arnett, Grant and Derrick. The race unquestionably needs not only pray and preach, but who by his known and proven career demonstrates beyond doubt that by his selection we will once again be received with courtesy and respect at the seat of the government. In my humble opinion Dr. A. J. Carey typifies in the highest degree the one man in the church whose touch and sympathy gives hope for these efforts.

Those who have read the Associated Press are aware of the fact that the National Baptist Convention was in ses ```markdown ``` ston here last week. For the past four or five years, the question before this control of the National Baptist Publishing House at Nashville, Tenn., of which the Rev. R. H. Boyd is secretary, the President, D. C., it is claimed, and took out incorporation papers for the National Baptist House at Nashville, Tenn., to see fit to give it over entirely to the convention, and there hung the bone. So it seemed that the project to get control of the Publishing House. Mr. Boyd, who has worked faithfully for the past thirty years to the convention, and there hung the bone, started and there was great clamor. Some contended that the Morris people wanted to either get control or get a house. The matter was argued on the floor. Scenes similar to that of big houses which gave the white papers opportunity to poke fun at the "brethren." The judge insisted the Morris faction in an injunction, then the Boydites went to the Salem Baptist church. The incumbent, Mr. Boyd, and their same officers and Dr. E. P. Jones, of Mississippi, was elected president of the Morris faction, and it is now before the courts and will come up for consideration the latter. The judge claimed that the question had to be settled and Chicago was the place. Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, assistant secretary of the Morris faction, an interview to give to the Freeman representative, but at a late hour of Tuesday evening could not be located. Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, was the guest of the convention on last Friday night. He took no part in the dispute and "stood on the wall." He urged the "brethren" to fight things out without becoming little men. Dr. Washington spoke on the wonderful progress made by the race and said 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States owned $1,142,000,000 worth of farm land and black men are proprietors of 45,000 business enterprises.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL. Activity of the Politicians-Fifty Years of Freedom in Historical Pageant. (By R. W. Thompson.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8. -The politicians are showing signs of renewed activity, as the months pass and "next year" approaches. The approaches. The barbecues and holding mass meetings under one pretext or another, striving to get into position to be the ceremonies incident to the election of delegates to the national conventions and maybe to catch a stray office that may lie around loose. Hon. John McCain, the principal speaker Wednesday at a neighboring park, and the campaign of W. Calvin Chase for delegate to the publican nation, will be the most likely. Williston, regarded as the most likely of the aspirants for the job representing the colored citizens of the District at Chicago next week, will be in very close touch with the authorities of the party, and is losing no point in the game. At a recent "todo of the day," the boom was sent aloft for Dr. S. Summer Wormley, who it is intimated, would "run like a scared horse," if he consents to the use of his name and race. The race is backed by a large section of the legal fraternity. Some "dark horses" are expected to be in at the finish. It is anybody else as the matter is. The "try-outs." Somebody has come forward with a rumor that Mr. Oswald Garrison Vilson, the colored people has made him a popular factor all over the land, has been discussing the race issue with a net angle, and that out of this negotiation several valuable official plums for competent colored men may drop. That program may be adopted whereby colored men may be named for Recorder of Deeds, and a consulship or so to commercial port abroad. It is said that several prominent Wilsonites are under consideration, and if the program does not work, expect, there will be "pay dirt" for enough to make the situation intermittent, shall of New York; A. E. Manning, of Indiana, A. H. Grimke, of Massachusetts; R. T. Greener, of Illinois, and lists of aspirants for official honors. It is intimated that the school question may be bound up in the political context of the friendship of N. B. Marshall, who has had experience as an educator, and Hugh M. Browne, a teacher of the old regime, who has had experience as a reference to their chances for assistant superintendent, to succeed Mr. Bruce. One unnamed graduate, a band of rumors, where stories, plausible stories, are made and unmade over night. The United States Savings Bank at Ft. Jefferson and U streets, very popular with the colored people of the northwest section, is to be remodeled and enlarged, to accommodate its in- The historical pageant, representing the progress of the Negro in fifty years of freedom, designed by Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, is now on display at the baseball park during the week of October 11. The same feature was given in New York some time ago as a part of the New York State Emancipation Center. The feature is a spectacle worth witnessing. A local company has been incorporated to supervise the production, which will cost several thousand dollars. The secrecy of 500 persons, L. M. Hershaw is at the head of the producing company. Miss Fisher, of Lorain, O., a graduate of Oberlin, is to have the opportunity to the Pendleton building on U street, E. S. Burroughs, of Wilberforce University, is to have charge of the elocation department of the New York City, is to supervise the music. Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conklin Bruce's condition is unchanged, but as anyone can know, he不 but as tutors can see him his home on Columbia Road. He will not be in shape to open the schools on the 20th, and it is thought that he will be in a situation by naming an acting assistant superintendent and placing Mr. Bruce on leave, pending his recovery. He is mentioned in common in the clerk in the office of the public schools, and closely in touch with the details of the colored divisions, is very favorably mentioned in common in the meantime Superintendent E. L. Thurston is looking after the duties usually performed by Mr. Bruce. He gives the Washington Herald published a special edition, carrying write-ups of many Negro institutions and biographies of representatives said that the "ad" of the Order of St. Luke, covering an entire cost, $400, and no space was sold for less than $100.

Allen's National News Bureau, 252 West, 53d street NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Your correspondent had the pleasure last week of meeting young men of that city. Mr. Simpson went to Louis, Mo. one of the most prominent young men of that city. Mr. Simpson came where he brought his employer, Mr. M. E. Holiday who is one of the wealthiest women of the west, as well prominent men of that city. Mr. Simpson has been in the employ of Mrs. Holiday for two years, and speaks most considerate employers he has ever for. Mrs. Holiday is a noted figure not only in the social unite of the city, but also in the business world, being president of one of the leading banks of that city. Mr. Simpson when expressed himself as being pleased with the trip to this point on his car, and before arriving to this city their families, among them being Indianapolis, Cleveland, Springfield, Illinois, Oswego, N. M., where Mr. Holiday spent a brief time. Rise of a Young West Indian. Twelve years ago a young West Indian by the name of Joseph Tull came to the country to total stranger to seek his former friend and set about to find proper stuff and set about to find work at whatever his hands came across. He moved to a management houses and other fields during which time he was developing rugged e-perience which furnished a backdrop to his employment. Mr. Tull ago he opened an employment office at 2297 Seventh avenue, which has become one of the leading employment agencies in the city, Mr. Tull's office is located in the heart of the Negro population of this people and opportunity which affords Mr. Tull of becoming well acquainted with the economic conditions surrounding the leading hotels and apartment houses of this city, as well as cooks, bakers and vendors, to vate families of the city. During the four years he has conducted his exchange he has given employment to the building in which owns the building in which his office is located which is valued at $20,000. Where, among many other enterprises are conducted, Mr. Tull employs Miss Minnie Kennedy, who has charge of his business in office work, and the more efficient young business women in the race. Miss Kennedy has had wide experience in office work, and the more largely to the palmstaking effort of Miss Kennedy. Miss Kennedy is one of the most well known in church and social circles. The rise of Mr. Tull from a stranger without friends in this city to a man should give inspiration to other young men who come to this country. Professor J. A. Lawrence Here. Professor J. A. Lawrence, principal of the Swayne public school in Montgomery, a school in the city of Montgomery, was a visitor to this city last week. From Boston where he attended the annual session of the National Negro Business League, he Lawrence, a principal of fourteen years, and is one of the most conspicuous figures in the educational field. The Swayne public school is modern in every respect and has an enrollment of 800 pupils, and 13 teachers. Lawrence has given most of his life to educational work and in this direction he is wielding a wide influ He is a graduate of Talladega College, and was one of the first three members to constitute the first class to be appointed to the position. He is prominent in all movements for the uplift of the race, and was recently elected president of the Alabama State Teachers Association, which is one of the most prominent movements in the state. During his brief stay in this city Prof. Lawrence and your corresponded visited many places of interest, including Ellis Island, where the immigrants coming to this country Dr. Washington Here. Dr. Booker T. Washington, one of the most striking personalities in America, and doubtless the most striking figure in the educational life of America, spent a few days in this city last week where the educator was taking a brief letup from the manu's exacting which is the only support that has been used in his busy life. The educator was seen at his New York office last week and told your correspondent that he was refusing to talk business at this time as he was on a brief vacation, and wanted a letup from the strenuous direction he had called upon to help. Your correspondent called the educator's attention to some matters which he promised to consider later on in the fall when he gets back to Tuskegee. While here Dr. Washington called on a few friends and visited the Lafayettemen's life when he has been the one of Lester Walton's manager of the theatre. Your correspondent was present on the evening of Dr. and Mrs. Washington were attendants at the theatre. Traveling with the educator was Emmet J. Scott one of the finest specimens of the Regent's life in the town in America. Dr. Washington and Mr. Scott make two of the most interesting personalities before the nation today. Southern Educators Here. At this writing the Metropolis is thronged with a large number of southern educators, the South. These devoted and self-sacrificing men are here in the interest of their schools and are calling their many friends with whom they have met throughout the East and North. Among the educators here are Profs. Martin A. Menacea, of the Voynees, Indiana, and one of the foremost educators on the State Normal School at Prairie View, Tex. who is a graduate of Harvard University, and Profs. John and Robert of Education at the State Normal School at Petersburg, Va. Profs. Connor is one of the youngest men of the race engaged in post-graduate work in his state. He is a graduate of the Virginia Union University, and did post-graduate work at Howard University. In talking about the outlook for a big opening at the State Normal School this year was very bright, and that it was possible that the enrollment would be larger. Correspondent Will Fight Discrimination in Postoffice. Next week your correspondent will begin his fight against discrimination of the city in the postal department of this city. In information this bureau from a reliable source that is legal experts and other employees in the postoffice has discriminated against and are treated in a shameful manner that does not become the government. It was discovered that Negroes who have been long in the service have failed to be promoted, and in many time in the service and in many years been promoted over the heads of capable Negroes. Negroes are barred from promotion in this city, and very few of them are given desirable tours. Your correspondent has talked with men who have been years and over, and all of them tell the same story of unfair treatment. JACKSONVILLE, ILL. (By Nellie Early, 719 N. Cox.

BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1915. A THOUGHT OF THE WEEK. A Local League in Action —A report from the Local Negro Business League of the State of Missouri, "The Local League here has increased its membership threefold and is enriched by the community for which it is ordained. The outlook to that end is very encouragement, as adopted is 'one thing at the time'. The present the task before us is that of Colored Hospital and Orphanage for Northwestern Missouri, organized and endowed. Of course there are many organizations from time to time as our League is becoming the clearing house for all ideas, programs, efforts of a social economic nature. September and August have gotten mixed in their dates. We hope that Bishop Connor will be able to prove that the charge of "white slaving" against him is without foundation. Dr. Dumba, the Austrian Ambassador, mixed it up a bit when explaining how it happened. Maybe he had a method in it. Ambassadors are generally very careful people. The Negroes charged with poisoning a mule at Starkesville, Mississippi, were lynched, but the mule lived on. Eating, drinking, and dancing were features at the fest de mort. O, you "heathings!" The Baptist at Chicago were in turmoil at the opening of the National convention. But they have the faculty of getting together. It is to be hoped that in the future that a court will not find it necessary to award the presidency. The Freeman's exposition number will be an effort to include the representative of the race, whether of men or affairs. It will come from the press during the holidays. It will be an addition to the festival of commemoration for achievements during the past fifty years of our existence as a freed people. It is being said that President Wilson may fill the posts at Hail, Liberia and the position of recorder of deeds at Washington, D. C., in one, two, three order with colored men in the very near future. He, for some reason, has been doing the political hesitation concerning these jobs for some time. Either something awful good or awful bad is going to happen. In event of something good, it will be difficult to work around our fellow townman, A. E. Manning, of the Indianapolis World. J. P. Goodrich, who has been conspicuous as a Republican in politics of the state for a number of years, has announced himself as a candidate for Governor. Mr. Goodrich has rendered great service to his party in the past having been the state chairman, a position which he filled satisfactorily to the Republicans throughout the state. In national politics he has also been a very useful factor. Personally Mr. Goodrich is agreeable and of a strong character. In a state-wide primary he would be very difficult to beat. His acquaintance with big affairs makes him a fitting individual for the office he seeks. Prof. Frederick Starr, of Chicago University, has been made a knight of the Order of Redemption of Ethiopia by the government of Liberia. It is said that this is the highest honor which Liberia can bestow because of his services in placing her in her true light before the world. We are not on to what the professor has done, but whatever it was he did not have the prosperity of that country at hearts any more than many of us of this country. Some of us have talked right out about that country, but all for its good. "Whom the Lord lord He chasteneth;" the same may be said the parent. The giving of the medal is not begrudged since that country also needs strong white friends. It simply put us in the reflective mood. NOT SO BAD. German diplomacy is becoming somewhat puzzling. Speaking of the Arabic happening that country said, The German government is unable, however, to acknowledge any obligation to grant an indemnity in the matter, even if the commander should have been mistaken as to the aggressive intentions of the Arabic. If it should prove to be the case that it is impossible for the German and American governments to reach a harmonious opinion on this point, the German government would be prepared to submit the difference of opinion, as being a question of international law, to The Hague tribunal for arbitration. * * * In so doing it assumes, as a matter of course, the arbitral decision shall not be admitted to have the importance of a general decision on the permissibility of the converse under international law of German submarine warfare." It is very plain to see that the German government has its submarine warfare premises definitely outlined, and surprisingly different from what this country has has. The German HBV has the set of statements are aptly studied, and we may add, from the German view point, they are consistent enough and reconciliable with the somewhat peculiar situation. We take it that every word in the statements were thoughtfully placed. The German government will not acknowledge any obligation to grant an indemnity in the matter and so forth. It does not necessarily mean that that government would not stand for indemnity, if awarded by The Hague tribunal. It can very well mean that indemnity is not guaranteed—that it is not assured in advance, and that the thing of award must take its chances in the court. Seeing it from the German side that government may hold that the mistake of the commander of the submarine attacking the Arabic, or any mistake does not amount to a violated principle. The fact that the German government follows by agreeing to submit something to The Hague court for settlement it looks to us as if this was the question to be submitted, although it refuses to guarantee indemnity in advance of the court's decree, in permitting the question to go before the international court Germany does so in order to settle a point of international law. So far, it appears that there is no reason to complain of the German government's attitude unless we are mistaken in the import of the words. It will not bind itself in advance of the court; it concedes that there is a difference of opinion between the two governments. Differences of opinion on rules between governments make for international law. Germany agrees to submit the difference to the international court. The conclusion of the statements seems somewhat confusing. However, we view it, that, the German government will not consent that the archetype of the way afterwards its program of submarine warfare "the decision shall not be admitted to have the importance of a general decision on the permissibility or the converse under international law of German submarine warfare." Reviewing it briefly: The German government has its story of the right to attack the Arabic. The commander might have been mistaken as to the intent of the Arabic, whether it meant to escape or threatened the submarine. It is willing to arbitrate the question of indemnity as it amounted to a point of international law. It does not take a stand against indemnity but refuses to concense it. It will not permit the ruling of the court to have weight with its program of submarine warfare. And if that program of submarine warfare is as it is thought to be at this time it is fair enough in view of the fierce conflict in which that country is engaged. Our object in the foregoing is to help at putting a proper face on affairs in order to save from the affliction of war, or even unnecessary unpleasantness. Germany has much to contend with on the sea. It is pressed by England, consequently in the effort of fighting back irregular things will happen now and then. Hundreds of English boats have gone down; the awful fact should be considered in view of the very few which have given rise to the misunderstanding between the two countries. BABTIST CONVENTION IN TURMOIL. What happened in the National Baptist Convention at Chicago was not surprising to those who have followed up the doings of the conventions for the past few years. What the trouble is exactly is very difficult to guess. Perhaps no one thing has caused the spirit of dissension that was seen in the convention dived into two distinct camps as was noted at that city. All through the year there has been evidence of brewing trouble, and which seems to be profound. Rev. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark, has for many years the president of the convention which, virtually, is the supreme head of the Baptist church. This organization does not encourage the idea of supreme authority, although it finds it necessary to have some show of a head in the interest of its development and perpetuity. And, perhaps, this individual independence has worked against harmony, since each minister is a law unto himself in his church, taking orders from no man. In short, every Baptist preacher is a pope to all intents and purposes. He hows only to the will of the majority of his members, which means but very little by way of opposition unless charged with some very ugly offense. This spirit, which is a natural asset of man, being supported by principle and custom, makes for a one-man hierarchy so far as the individual church is concerned, and which is of doubtful good. This spirit is certainly not in the interest of a convention where there is the least despotism. We arrive at the point. Rev. Morris has been charged with being arbitrary in his position as president, a very czar, at times, according to the observation of some. This view of him may be due to the independence of ministers who refuse to see him anything more than a moderator, a necessary officer to preside at deliberations, and not to dictate policies, or to build up machines. The influence of a machine is easily detected if not the manipulators. Men who are used to the utmost liberty chafe under the binding of the "invisible" government, and to which they do not give consent, nor know. We are not urging that Rev. Morris has been anything more than the convention's president, governing by the constitution and by laws as laid down by that body. We are giving a hint of the observations, restriction and criticism which have been firing within the recent years. The great organizations, the largest body of Negroes in the world, will not take lessons from any one as to the principles. It has made the ground headway owing to the power presenting the substantial proofs of its power for good as well as the greater thing of preparation for heaven's citizenship. And because of this great good for the here and the hereafter, it is a pity to know that that church's best representation, and which means the race's best representation, has presented the world that ugly spectacle. That church will lose in influence unless it quickly returns to its ancient moorings, standing for peace emanation. The world gets much of its morals from the church—its good morals. It can not afford that the situation be reversed. THE ACCUSED MEN. M. A. Ryan, the attorney for the defense of Mayor Joseph E. Bell, and THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER others, charged with election irregularities, was extremely interesting when setting forward their side of the case, insisting that the arraignment was political persecution rather than something prompted out of pure love for clean politics. This sort of argument, of course, does not tend to lessen the guilt of individuals when guilty. Men in politics have a habit of doing irregular things, and which becomes so common that the fear of the law is scarcely dreamed of. Mr. Ryan cites facts of the kind showing that politics was not a Sunday school affair. His clients are no less guilty because of corruption at the polls, but he makes it appear that the prosecution is political and not for the love of purification. It is plain to see that the prosecution has the drop on the defense, because it is a very easy matter to collect evidence of wrong doing about the polls if one is intent on doing that kind of thing. Nor is the prosecution to be blamed for doing its duty even if the duty is done to Democrats. However, this duty can easily be construed as special, and because they be done are of an opposite party, it is not appropriate to impress to do our duty in upholding right we may as well come clean and speak of the motive and the rest of it as urged by the defense, and as we view it in the interest of the whole truth. There were wrongs committed at the polls, because men have already confessed that they were guilty of the charges. The prosecution has been victorious so far, but it is not content with the confessions of small men. Nor are we, if bigger men are guilty. However, we are not in for a siege of men in the sense that they just must be taken. We hope that the mayor of Indianapolis is not guilty of the charges against him. We hope that Thomas Taggart is not guilty of the charges against him. We hope that the other big and useful men are not guilty of the charges against them whether Democrats or Republicans. The one very ugly charge against the Democratic administration is that it was directly responsible for keeping voters from registering. Such an offense is too serious to think of excusing by classifying it with the customary offenses that are committed about the polls. Men who refuse others their rights of suffrage can offer no extenuating circumstances that justify the refusal. With this charge aside the trial now on could have happened immediately after every election in this community for years. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NEGRO AUTHORS The National Association of Negro Authors is one of the latest developments of the race's civic life. The organization comes late as it should, since letters, like art, is the flowering of a nation. Some one has said art properly sets in at the beginning of decadence. The hard proposition will not be admitted at its face value, but it is, nevertheless, true, that leisure and wealth are the forerunners of culture in the best sense. The rule is beautifully exemplified by our own race, which has been struggling in pioneer style with the more engrossing things, those that usually beset a people at their beginning as a nation. The means of existence was the uppermost question for years. The question is still with us, yet no one can deny that we are easier in the efforts to live. The bread and butter phase of our existence has given away to one where there are prospects of ease and comfort, when the mind takes its natural course upwards. With the adornment of the person and home comes that of the mind, all being founded in the fact of progress beyond the limitations of pressing need. Since freedom there has been more or less done by way of literary production. It was more or less crude, reflecting the source and opportunity. Now and then there were high lights, the divine affaunt being no respecter of persons. Paul Lawrence Dunbar was hit with an arrow from "love's" quiver and he became at once one of the "anointed." Others previous to him made good. But at this day of prosperity when a comparative leisure class is emerging to the front, the flood gates are opening. Books, magazines, pamphlets, newspapers are being sent out attended with satisfactory marks of scholarship and culture. The producers of these may rightly be called authors. They are cudgeling their own brains, producing in a satisfactory way for the benefit of the race and mankind. August 27th and 28th a group of these individuals assembled at Chicago to compare notes, to help one another by exchange of opinions and to learn of the voice of experience in the interest of their own culture and the betterment of the race. We may say that the idealism of the organization is to transcend the race, to take part in the literary world unlabelled with class or race distinction. Genius is not tied down by color or race. Any other notion of it is unworthy. The organization has such an idea in view. The meeting at Chicago was not as largely representative as it could have been. Many persons who are eligible to membership found it impossible to respond to the call. Among those present were: Monroe N. Work, Hallie Q. Brown, Hiram H. Holland, R. T. Greener, W. H. A. Moore, William Pickens, Kelly Miller, Major John R. Lyman, and Wallace Rice. Dr. M. A. Majors, who managed this feature of the exposition, deserves credit for making it a success. There are a number of bright lights which could have added greatly to the program had it been possible for them to attend. Such persons as Alice Ruth Dunbar, Mary Church Terrell, Dr. Anna Cooper, R. W. Thompson and others yet would have given more impetus to the forward literary movement and journalistic impulse. OSKALOOSA, IOWA. Rev. Moorman of the A.M. E.

Visiting Team Down the American Giants at a Score of 9 to 7—"Rube" Uses Three Pitchers but Dixon Wins His Game—St. Louis Giants to Play on Sunday—Betway Back in the Haven Giants Does Some Sensational Catching. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, IL, Sept. 15.—The Chicago Giants defeated the American Giants on last Sunday at Schorling's Park, 39th and Shields streets. A good size crowd greeted the "boys" and the contest was very spirited. It was a few days ago, the first visitor and the pitched a splendid game doing some excellent work in pinches. Dixon had the "goods on," for our boys could not win even though the score was 9 to 7 in favor of the Chicago Giants. Crawford was in the box for the Fox, Fox's team, the visitors got to him for four scores in the second inning. He passed three men and hit the fourth. He lost control of the pill. Whitworth was put in the box but he seemed to be out of form for that particular game. Wickman was called a son of the seventh and held them down, but the lead was too far. The Giants made a sprint but only brought in one score in the ninth. Mr. Foster was very anxious to see his men win but odds were against the team, which was at the old position and worked well but fell short at the bat, which he hated badly. Gans did some sensational fielding in left field, while Green made the fans yell with his coaching. Next Sunday the St. Louis Giants were not on the team. Gans. Gans.

C. (By D. F. Toler.) Tolover & Chappell opened here La- Day for a week's engagement, one of a Lew Henry's box of attractions. Miss Gigi Goddill, the female member, looked very pretty in man costume and showed it in her number. Her single number charmed the audible and had them spellbound, and as for the male member, Mr E. Tolover, it is not a bad idea to get the part of Pedro. Everybody "Holey-boley Eyes" was a hacking machine for the eyes to great advantage in this num- tiple.

AT THE CROWN GARDEN THEATRE, INDIANAPOLIS Josephine Tobias, Connor and Mann, Sellman and Sellman, Billy Yelena The patrons of the Crown Garden Theatre had the pleasure of hearing one of those very soulful singers, and Miss Tobias is this singer. It is rare to get a winning combination in one that is so beautiful and so powerful. She easily classes with the good singers of the country, especially in voice quality. Her songs, such as she she sang, are simple and descending. Judge of her agility as an artist, since in them are no rapid-fire passages by scale of ascending and descending songs. She shows her ability in the most part rearranged. This fact proved her ability as the songs were that she did not simple. These were "Bawah River," "Old Home, from 'Bandanna Land.'" Her closing number was "The Garden of the Sea." These songs her voice was of the purest soprano, a delight to hear. Miss Tobias has been singing before white audiences in Youngstown, O., which in 1910 was the city's first. One of the publications of that city had to this say: Josephine Tobias, better known as a singer, was engaging a return engagement. She was heartily received at every show, and presented a new repertoire of selechments in range and songs many high notes with apparent ease and grace." Miss Tobias is of pleasing stage personality. Euger Condor and Cecil Mann. She has been the absence of a few months. Connor and Mann made themselves many friends by their pleasing stage work and their disposition, then off the stage. The disposition, then applause at each initial appearance. Both have very good stage qualities; stand-out qualities. The lady is sunny and bright, her nimble feet and general vivacity give her work pleasing tone. Edgar is a little stage prince; makes everyone stage prankers and reminds of the old master, the late George Walker. Their work is nicely received all the time. The stage prankers thing I Want But You, "Dike Serenade," "Cruel Paint," and "Dinah." Miss Mann, who is as graceful as a nymph, diamonds on her fingers. The little lady has been wooed and won by one of her many admirers since she was born. She is when off the stage. She says that she will retire from the stage in the near future. Her loss is mourned in adance, so she just must go—the prime lady. Sellmon & Sellmon. This team is highly appreciated for their work. It furnishes plenty fun, the lady doing straight. Sellmon, the man doing straight. Grosse fine singing. He has one of the greatest natural voices that has ever been heard in this house. It is doubtful that he can sing as well as the singing. They sing, "Rufus Johnson's Harmony Band," "I Want to Be Way Down Yonder in the Cornfield," and "Unite the Sand of the Desert Grows!" Billy Young. Billy Young, formerly of Parker & Young, is back again after a few weeks absence in absence for his splendid vaudeville voice—musical and voluminous. In remembrance of her father, the late Tucker Young, His Word," quite impressively. Her songs are: "Yankee Tango Girl" and "Every Woman's Got a Man But Me." She makes an attractive stage person-to-person to her comeliness and pretty costumes. JOHN HEDGE IN INDIANAPOLIS. Mr. John Hedge, the well-known intruder in Indianapolis the first of the week filling an engagement at a local hospital.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review CLOSING WEEK AT COLISEUM. The Commission Highly Praised and Slightly Criticised as the Exposition Draws to a Close—Commandite Project. Abraham Lincoln relics, the carriage in which he rode and the chairs in the box of Ford's theater, has staggered his agenda, assuring the flag in which his body was wrapped, his statue and a host of memoriams of the illustrious man who freed the Negro in the Civil War, a rare rate treat of the exhibit which had not been spoken of by writers. This part of the exhibition, especiallychanics, especially inventions, were highly commendable for racial achievements that are made known to the enlightened, but must be highly praised. But political affronts were another feature which brought criticism to the Commission, and the president Taylor to criticise them with indiscretion in his newspaper, "The Broad-Axe." The Commission had failed to accept the Chicago Illinois Idea," owned by S. B. Turner, who is in the political arena and who goes his pocket picked to the Chicago Illinois Idea." The ignoring of the two greatest P. SYLVESTER RUFSELL Who Says the Commission Was Impo- tioned? colored newspapers, "The Freeman" and "The Defender," was very impolite. But still we praised everything deserving. When I called upon Sect Swan for the Freeman advertising he informed me that contracts had been closed with the Commission, and he false. I was later told by an inside party to see Rt. Rev. Samuel Fellows, president of the Commission, a wise priest, and the massy and intelligent gentleman. I told him what Swan had said of the newspaper deal, and he expressed his regret not being known which attacked the Commission, the rumor of outstung and reinstatement of Thomas Wallace Swan, had its meaning with the social circle and support of the greater mechanical and industrial world. The Negro race from all parts of the country nor the emigration representation of its patronage half fulfilled. Mayor William Hale Thompson was called out of his invitation to speak. Booker T. Washington Speaks to Four Mississippi Teachers —Dispels Fractalism by Mary K. McCormick When the rain began to fall last Friday evening, a week ago, people were told they would have to enter into the First Regimental Armory of Michigan Avenue and Sixteenth street, Chicago's most exclusive thoroughfare, the Armory. Booker T. Washington, LLD, who had been invited to grace the ultimates of the nation's nomination, by delivering a confirmation address. But his air was foreign and those who thought different were disappointed to appear, but this particular time, however, can be regarded with significance of suspicion. It had been rumored that the Armory would be the National Lincoln Jubilee Half Century Exposition at the Coliseum, but his record was too bleak for the syndicate. about the sixth chapter, was referred to himself. Finally, he made the right of the laws against the Negro in the South, such as prohibiting their use of the land, and the like, and said they no laws. Then he spoke of the loyalty to the Negro to the Stars and Stripes and closed. King's Comedies at the Grand-The Original Black Jack Comes N. W. Wesley "The Undertaker's Daughter," without Billy King, was Monday's offering. The Undertaker played the daughter, made a good impression. Billy Higgins made a hit in his comedy work also. The rest of the comedy played, he made a fair carce memoir, which had much vaudeville, all white, included Ab Kabble in Hebrew, who was only fair, and a parody, Harry Brown, the indian cartoonist, was well received in new songs and drawings, and the Tyler The Last half of last week had Billy King in "The Burglar's." The play was fair, except that the climax was uninteresting. The last half of last week had Billy King in "The Burglar's." The play was fair, except that the climax was uninteresting. The vaudeville included The Angel Sisters, good high kickers; Bejork Brothers, good comedy tumblers, all of which were popular holdovers.

Harrison Stewart in a New Role Goes Big at the Pekin. "The Ebony Recruits," a distinct military musical comedy and a fine vehicle was Harrison Stewart's offering for this week and his comedy work was funnier than ever. Sam Gaines was good, especially in a soldier story, and Bulah White Brown was capable as the wife. Viola Stewart had a nice military suffragette role, and Zenobia Allen, Lawrence Chenault, George Hall and Lena Turner were satirical factory. Frank L. Bennett directed well and Dan Park-proved to be a fine trap (summer Manager Harry C. Jenkins announces that wrestling matches will be continued on Friday evenings. The Pompei Opens All New.

Tony Langston, who recently became manager of Jesse Binga's little Star picture house, won his first round in the managerial fistic arena of recent date. When Tony ordered Binga's clerk out of the box office, where he was busy talking to his wife, the ticket seller, he refused to leave. Mr. Langston took him by the collar and landed him on the sidewalk. Then he discharged the wife ticket seller. Jesse Binga, who showed up trembling, prevailed upon Langston to take her back. Binga said was a part rental salary proposition. So Langston took her back and informed Binga that if he is manager of the house he will run it, and if she works there she must do as he says. When Miss Abbie Mitchell found that her voice was not in order, week before last, when she sheared her little Monogram, she had appeared one week in over twenty-five performances, on account of her ager Klein at the last moment that she could not leave for St. Louis, Mo., where he had booked her to perform. Its all right for the managers to tell their side of the story about artists time, but it does them no good. They have money to pay to publish their own story. There are two sides to the money: it hurts the patronage the money to keep up the muddle. Besides, it hurts managers with good performers and it hurts the patronage the money to keep up the performers the best and don't like to hear about their managerial troubles. George Heiser, the colored policeman, who figured in the arrest of a rich white Southerner in a review, states that the daily newspapers misrepresented him, that he was called into the hotel and was attacked by a man whom he had known for conversing with the captain, who had called him to the telephone to question him regarding the death of Heiser, which is a credit to the police department in a city where too many people are allowed to interfere with law and order.

Miss Willie Wade, as Dinah in the first product, is blackface. Miss Ethel Walker, developing a graceful actress, is winning applauds.

SEE THE ATTRACTIONS AT THE DOUGLASS, MACON, GA. (By H. Woodard, Drummer.) String Beans and Sweette May famed as the greatest showstreet soubrette, are playing this house. This is the first engagement they have made and the announcement has been greeted with much satisfaction. Sweette May has a clear, sweet voice and one that proves highly pleasing. The song's listing of "Walk Like My Man," and "I Wonder Where My Easy Rider's Gone," has been a popular composition "Me Alone." She scores heavily with this. String Beans takes the audience to the Low Down Jail Blues." The way he touches the ivory makes anybody blue. Sweette May looks nice in them. Braxton & Nugent, "The Nonsense Pair," are also on the bill. These two young men when it comes to comedy, are the best. They are a bunch of brand new songs. They are both good singers and dancers. Their boxing act is a scream. Braxton is singing "I've Only One Idead About the Slowest Girl in Town." But uses "I'm the Slowest Girl in Town." Mr. C. H.

With all new views, and exceptionally fine ones at that, good music to accompany them and special selection of the memorable number of excellent specialties, Manager Gibson made the past week one of the most interesting he has given. Salem Tutt Whitney's new play, *Bullion Abroad*, with forty people will hold the boards all week at this theater. The opening performances of new plays in the theater act the play later, but curtains seldom go up before twenty-five minutes to nine o'clock, and with long performances and the delays acts the play later, but curtains seldom go up before twenty-five minutes after eleven o'clock. A manager should see that performances begin by twenty minutes after eight o'clock and continue until twenty-five minutes after eleven o'clock or a few minutes later. No matter how good a new play may be, it gains nothing by being dragged dangerously near to the public, but the fault lies mainly with themselves. TIM MOORE TRIES MATRIMONY AGAIN.

Dainty Miss Alice, who is quite a young lady now, still retains her little following to the�ic பெரும்பகுதிய. The little thing two of Bert's new songs and she is "one big scream." She deserves credit for holding up so well under the strain of her two sisters recent illness. Holding the company together is keeping the business busy the year beginning of the Whitman Sisters, though only one sister is really working. There is something in a name. Miss Struffin, who is filling Bert's place (which means "no little ability") is in her sixth week with the Whitman Company. It was the first time to close up and agreeable. Mabel is still "mother" in the home, and her recent connection with the church is not surprising, as she was reared by Christian parents and was connected with the church on the other side.

B. JOSEPH CLARK, JR. Manager Ruby Theatre, Louville, Ky. Who Urges an Association of Managers. Joseph Clark, Jr., urges managers of colored theatres to form managers' associations the managers and a great help to the present conditions of the colored performers. For the last two or three weeks I notice that these performers disappointed managers of the theatres and it is mostly the headline acts or acts that are box office attractions that disappoint the managers. They are very heavy and the public is always up in arms to see them, therefore, when they disappoint a manager, they leave the managers and the public out of mind they don't once think about that; they are always looking out for their own interest and never thinking about the managers in nearly every case these acts never JOSEPH C Manager Ruby The notify them that they are not coming and look for them clean up until your show is over and in most casts the house is stained. If you situate another act, consequently the show is weak, the audience is not satisfied, and the manager is blamed for advertising something else. If things cause so many colored theatres to go to the wall. Now if the managers would get together and organize an association, they would have to book if an act was booked at a certain house for a certain week, no other manager would be allowed to play said act that would have to be booked through illness or some unforeseen cause, then that act would have to send in a certain act, the other managers. And if this excuse was not acceptable, then the act brothers, has returned to Bovina, Miss. to prepare to enter Jackson College at Jackson, Miss. to Jackson, Fla. to deserves to miss him during his illness. . . .

He is a singer singing the Chinese Blues and a clever performer, as also is Fred Hardaday, who is the condition of "When I Leave the World Behind." The act is a hit on any bill. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE COLORED SHOW BUSINESS. What's the matter with the colored show business? This question is being asked every day by the performer and manager as well. First, I will say the would be suspended for so many weeks or dismissed from the circuit. Another metto of mine is if a manager books an act for the week's engagement. This act on that date, he should give said act as least four days' notice or pay act for the week's engagement. This act should also actor some protection. Another thing I believe in and that is play all recognized acts and should a manager play an act that act should be kept off of the circuit, and this would give more of the real performers work who depend on the business and not in it to get travel over the country at the manager's expense. We could then have a standard salary they could pay the different acts and we would not in it to get traveling to their ability. We could also book in conjunction with the Consolidated, the S. H. Dudley and Morganstein booing agencies. We could also organize to bring to organize the association to send their names to the Freeman, which Mr. Knox will publish each week. If we do so, we are going to have and there will be no more worry and disappointments. Last week I had the Chicago Follies. LARK, JR., ater, Louisville, Ky. headed by Sid Perrin and Tim Moore, and an all-star cast, including Goldie Cloyce, Gerritude Brown, Edna, Senbow, Hill and Master Arnold Perrin.

On Friday night, immediately after the regular performance, I am going to play with a few professional friends that are now in Louisville.

Special to The Freeman. Wm. Benbow and String Beans, the work of the Jailer, the efforts of the uneducated and originators of nonsense, met in Tampa, Fla., and as it had been over two years since they last met them. The first of the first willings Benbow is the first to Put Beans in the show business, and every time they meet there is a long talk and laugh about things the first to the amusement world. This boy deserves his place in this show world, as he worked hard for it. When he first came to the show he was a heart and mind in it and I remember the first song he wrote, entitled, "You Look Like Something the Buzzard Had Me to the Right." He was the first song he has ever had, though he his first. No living man could have thought of those words but Beans and his air to the song puzzled the best piano player, "But, I'm not the man." But, with it, it was a riot. His next song was "Sallie, Don't Forget to Come Back Home." This song was another hit for him. The only change he had was "Nearer, My God, To Thee" in the song. The third song was "Come Out of the School and the Future of the Earth." This song was claimed by other performers, but as Bean would always come to me to criticize I can swear the song belongs to him. He knew all of his doing in my church to know all of his doing. I am the first to take him away from home and put him in a small stock company. I mean, "I'll put the book in my bookstore and was the first ```markdown ``` KEEP the crowds Coming to bring her from her home in New Orleans.

The team will work the greater part of the summer, and September will see every one of the big fellows hard at it. In the past, the team has been Princeton and Pennsylvania are establishing new coaching systems this year, the former going from committee support to coach, and the latter taking the final authority from the individual and placing it in the hands of a committee. The former coach each carry the former systems, the latter under Haughton and the latter under Hinckey. Harvard loses Brickley, the former coach, but has a tower of strength in Captain Mahan. Yale will lose correspondingly but has in her freshman year, but has any colleges. Princeton will try the men who made such a startling finish against Yale last year, while Penn, too, had some men who will be given a The season in the Middle West will open with the greatest interest of relegation in 1914 Illinois, under Coach Zuppke, first came to its own by winning the conference championship. This has a great stimulus to the team, and at last it will put Williams, coach of Minnesota, and Stagge, coach of Minnesota, and depose of this new claimant for honors. Wisconsin, which had a very strong line last year, but, a rather weak team, will triumph which will be brought to the front by Illinois success. Then, State University, football show, with State University, football show, under Jesse Hawley, of Dartmouth, promises, when combined with the necessary "punch," to make this team a memoir to others in the conference. Smith, the old Penn State player, is also working with the team, and Two Yale men, Childs at Indiana, and Red Murphy at Northwestern, are also going up from the bottom and laying for the team to speak well for their teams this season. Outside the conference, Nebraska, in Coach Stitch, the former Wisconsin coach, did not meet Illinois, the conference champion, in great power, particularly in stretching and guarding him, by their backfield, and the all-around work of Captain Halligan at tackle, in the All-American team of the wrist, to make them the peer of any team in the league they promise to keep that prominence another season. In one which cast such a score into Eastern rinks in 1913 by defense and the Army, were sufficiently reacted by both these teams in 1914 to win. We most careful preparation. Moreover, we most careful preparation. Yale's new style of play before it had been exposed to the general football and consequently were snowed under it. But they will be heard from in 1915. The Michigan Aggie, too, under Michigan of Pennsylvania, will be a factor in the Yost, but not only a number of their best men last year, but in Maulman's star of the first magnitude, who will win the tittups of last year, when he showed that even the Harvard defense could hold him. We would and Jefferson, the stars of last season, will, under Fowlwell. threaten the leaders in the East again, and not far behind will be Rutgers, under Sanford. The game between the two teams will be the metropolitan enthusiasm. Pittsburgh will be another contender for honors in the East. Fouth, South, Virginia, and Tennessee, with star teams of last season, are eager looking forward to further triumphs this year, and in the southwest Texas means to hold the position which they have so well earned. Out on the Pacific slope there are three teams—Rutgers, the ball—southern California and the Pacific northwest. In the former section Occidental Pomona and the University of Arizona, the team abandoned Rugby and come back to the American game) all developed splendid talent last season, and there is excellent coaching talent out there he heard from in Pipal, Glaze and Stanton. In the northwest Coach Doble has played in all of the games of Washington teams with championship form for several years, but Coach Stewart and his Oregon agricultural team have won the first game this last year, although latter defeated. Beyek, the old Chicago player is coaching him at Washington State. Hahn is at Whitman and Griffith at Idaho, so some fine developments may be possible. Copyright, 1916, by O. F. Wood.

WORRY OVER MISTAKES SENDS MANY PLAYERS TO BUSHES. NEW YORK, September 6 — The great athletes always look ahead. Those who look back generally go back to the past. "You haven't been hitting as hard this year as before, Honus," I said to Wagner the last time the Pittsburgh Panthers played Polo grounds. "Does it worry you?" "I'll get my blow from here on, You watch me," he replied. "And you haven't earned in some bad games from the box." "I'll win one in this series," was my answer. "My arm is right now, and you haven't worried about it." To look back at a bad record means worrying, and both Wagner and I would have had lots of it to do this. "You haven't worried about it," a slant over our showings, especially mine. But worry over the mistakes of the past has sent many a man to Wagner. "You haven't worried about a fresh day. It isn't what you did a month ago that counts when you are out there working today. It is what you missed." The fans have forgotten a month ago. Here is the story of a young fellow who joined the Giants in the spring of 2001, and was many a busher. This boy came up with a lot of stuff and considerable confidence. McGraw figure on him told him that he pitched him nursed him along until he thought he saw a "spot" to drop him into the game for his first pitch. When he mounted the mound and everything went along all right with the kid pitching smoothly, he busted one on the route. This blow didn't make any difference in the ultimate outcome because there was no pitcher to bust one for the route. This blow didn't make any difference in the ultimate outcome because there was no pitcher to bust one for the pitcher had stuck the ball just THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER where McGraw and the rest of us older pitchers had warned him not to put it for Zim. "Why didn't you pitch to that bird like I told you to asked McGraw when the recruit came to the bench?" "I forgot who it was," answered the kid. "I guess you'll remember him after this," remarked McGraw. "If you haven't any better head than that you won't last long in this league." "I'm not forgotten his crack five minutes after he made it. But not the boy. I'll bet it kept him awake all that night. The next time he went into the box broke into a southerne game. He lasted only two innings. "You didn't pitch to any of those batters" yelled Mac as he shot him to the shower with the ball. "You were just shooting the ball up the groove." "McGraw is sore at me," complained the youngster in the clubhouse to me afterward, looking very much downcast. "He hopped me the first day for not pitching right to Zimmerman, and I'm wrong, than for." "I'm going to be a lively one of the 500 men in common pleas court for $20,000, as no law was violated and at once has been expensed by a boxing exhibition when the militia appeared. Safety Director Dwight L. Goodyear announced he would file charges and the Sellers' for malfeasance in office immediately, these charges to be brought before Governor Willis. Governor, Police Chief, Beall and a squad of thirty policemen were on the grounds to keep order. The mob did not threaten violence, but the group would wild with excitement over the event. Three bouts were on the program for the afternoon Jack Dillon was to meet Yankee Gilbert in a ten-round final. Tommy Dillon, of Indianapolis, and Chuck Wiggins, of Chicago, were to fight a ten-round semi-final, and Joe G. and the Red Dead Redemption Team were scheduled for a six-round preliminary. At his residence in a national waterery, through his Ed W. Harter, prother, through his attorneys, Warren McLaughlin and John L. and the other men built for the field against Sheriff Eley's court for 100 days. The crowd withdrew peaceably.

John, a former street's 100-year-old, was the same time week with long smile. GREENVILLE, The Phoenix Fire their annual picnic at Day and after having a sweet taste of the CI (directed by Leon C.) marched up on West C. to the extra classy water between up and down to town team was success- being won by them. Th "You mustn't mind it," I told him. "I must." He kept thinking of it and worrying, he answered. "I'm afraid I'm not making good." He had had great natural stuff, but he went worse every time he started. He did not figure the mistakes out, but he knew the box, but kept thinking of the mistakes he had made before and worrying over them with each fresh start. He didn't know how to use his head and his stuff. Pittsburgh, came into the league as fresh as any guy ever to break loose in fast company. He showed what he was made of. He never looked back—always ahead. As a youngster in the game, he naturally all recalls, he had much to learn. But he did not fret about where he had failed. Instead, he came back with: "Well, they broke a little tough for today, they broke a little tough for today, they supported a sleeve. I'll get them next time if I have to fan out every batter to do it. It looked easy today with those boots behind me." Vloux came to the Pirates full of the same sort of confidence—fresh, good, their thirst until it good. They threw Shafer once of the Giants, had this supreme self-confidence, himself, but he lacked the ambition. He never worried about the game, but neither did he toss around nights over the showing he should make tomorrow. The player didn't have a nickel, he would be the greatest ball player in the world." Larry Doyle often declared about the young third baseman. "I wish he hadn't a nickel except what he made so he would worry over his Fred Snodgrass, Shafer's boon companion and college mate, was just the opposite of what he had done in the past and fearing the fans were going to ride him about it. Shafer once quit the team, but he was back in the center field, and he thought he was taking Snodgrass's job away from him. He was caught as he was about to leave, and the couple of emissarissi for McGraw who induced the volatile player to come back and have a talk with Mac. It was a mistake, and he caused he had arranged for his disappearing act in the middle of the season. Shafer finally consented to stay with Mac, and he had arranged where besides in center field so Snodgrass would be sure of his job Shafer is a natural infielder, and Mac had kept the center team to olope him in the hitting of one ball. He shuffled him to third base, and Herzog has not yet forgiven either Shafer or McGraw. "I am glad," Herzog said not long after Graw flat without a third baseman. It served him right. I think it cost him a championship, and I hope so. "He who was always thinking of mistakes he had made in the past, and it hurt his work. A bad start for him generally means he can get him. The team who can get him out of this frame of mind, once in it, and he is Wilbert manager credit for making him a pitcher when he was coaching the manager credit for making him a pitcher when he was coaching the manager credit for making him during a season while Robinson was with the club, Robbie would step in and give Rubie a hypodermic of confidence with his salve, was the boy who could do this. Robbie was liable to go to Brooklyn and pitch the league off its feet and all the croakers will cry; "McGraw turned another star loose." I take it from me—Christy Mathewson. JACKIE MOORE OPENS UP TRAIN ING CAMP. Jackie Moore, Columbus, colored lightweight, has opened his fall campaign with three good matches. Moore meets the Murphy, of St. Louis, beats the 14th Murphy, of New Orleans, on the 21st, and Leo Johnson here on the 29th. Jackie also has been promised two good matches, and Louis.

He couple more white boys by the name Filippo and Brazier entertained the audience with a live two-round punching match. The real match was between Stigal and KK. Wagner got eight and the eight-eight gloves, and neither was hurt, although Stigal was able to hit Wagner at will and knocked him down twice. Wagner got in one good kick on Stigal, but that stigal stuck him. Stigal was too fast for Wagner.

Indian Athlete Declares He Will Be a Big League Star. Jim Thorpe, the former Carleile Indian and great all-round athlete, seems to be having his troubles, no matter how he has been. Jim Thorpe joined the New York Giants one of the most munificent salaries, but scarcely had the redskin joined the team. He was the first to get on the bench, and there remained until Johnny McGraw was finally forced to farm him out to the Jersey City club. He was the first to get on the minor leaguers long to get on to the fact that Jim was easy for a curved ball, and to this end worked the Infield. He has never have learned is that the Skeeters have sent Thorpe to the Harrisburg (Pa.) club, where Thorpe will be given a chance to play. The redskin cannot go many steps lower in the national pastime, but in spite of all he comes back with the ultimatum that they will yet be taking hats off to him as a big league star. THE GIBBONS-McFARLAND FIGHT PRONOUNCED A DRAW. NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Mike Gibbons left for his St. Paul home today over $16,000 richer for his thirty minutes of work in the office.

McNairland's take-down was $4,000 for work and about $1,200 for the pictures. William Joh, referee, gave it as his private opinion after the bout that the John expressed his opinion through a newspaper, and, while it is not in any way an official judgment, it shows the records are referee decisions permitted by the law governing boxing in this state. Around the resorts, where the sportsman regurgitated, many a voice was raised in denunciation of the affair. The gate attendance was 34,845. The promotors' share was $5,000. The sportsman in the world of sport did not hesitate to express their opinion that the fighters were not trying at any stage of the contest, but impossible to prove. In point of prestige Gibbons suffered far more than McFarland. If the team were really fighting to his best form Saturday he is the most overrated boxer in the business. Fighting. Fighting. Fighting.

We aim to please but find it an enforcing attempt to a large number of people in our family scrap, church row and beer drinking brawl that some of the lodge sisters, choir fusses, sweetheart quarters, and people who are in the fussy business and that any old time and place when more disgrace to the race than all else. In no case have the lodge people of Texas had a general awakening, than the one coming out of Fort Worth, Texas, the past few days, stating in place the olds of theதி�ics, citing in figures the high-handed methods at the same time that must be met or not met to be a lodge brother or sister in the Lone Star State. It seems simply awful to the man who is now up to the same time to attend to and help the lodge's business which they are governed by and elect the various officers. This must and will be sifted and if the circumstances warrants a general shaking up it will be the next to the walkers of the will to reach Grand lodges in 1916 in order to reach the very bottom of the high fraternal insurance of Negro lodges and societies. We merely cite these and other things from time to time in order to show the interests might begin to now get busy and be more determined to regulate, enforce and cut off some of the high-salaried, do-little fellows, reduce the number of officers and residents to the local, local, adult administration by the people, for the people and with the people getting representation and not so much taxation. These red records makes reductions in all the lodges of their membership. Now is the case to the low-dwriting of the wall. The situation is appealing and needs to be overcome. Mr. J. T.

Another wonder for the Great Min- Rail-Cop. Mr. E. Jones, Shepherd street, Fifth Ward, intersburg, in Gentlemen and Monday night, Aug- ust 16, 1918 came to where a large crowd had assembled to hear my le- tures and demonstrations, said: "My sister, I was told to go to the Ranch, and I am on blind 18 months and could see nothing, has only used your cup a few days, now sees. I came af- ter two more cups. Let me man the man, I will be below, but when I saw that I am willing to let my money go." The Min-Rail-Cop is doing wonders for sick people every day somewhere. Will you have faith to try one? Don't want to say your friend gets one, you buy the first. To these who are afflicted with any disease, I recommend to them to try this wonderful cup. It is a miracle. I have been unable to do anything worth while for more than a month. I am still with my heart. I can truth- fully say that it has done wonders for me. I am stronger, can eat heartily and be more than a day without to see the world like another person. I hope that you who are suffering will try one at once and be con- vinced, for I believe it is blessing from God. If you have the least doubt call me and I will explain anything to you.
