The coming week there will be a full account of the dedication of the new 15th and 15th wedding anniversary on Wednesday evening of this week at Oden Park. It was the biggest of Chicago's most prominent people accepted invitations and attended. By request there were no presents, and the men were their wedding anniversary Mrs. Avendorf made a challenge for the pulpit for the 15th inches deep and she worked on it at $100.00 and took Mrs. Avendorf three months to make it.

CLAIMOFS68,000,000FORSLAVELABOR Attorney Jones Files Suit for Negroes who Produced Cotton in Southern Field from 1859 to 1868 SHOULD CASE GO TO COURTS OR TO CONGRESS? This is the Leading Question Propounded by Able Counsellors at the Capital—Heirs Seek to Dissolve Donovan Liberian Fund—Negroes no Longer Migrating to West Africa—Public Schools Open, Assistant Superintendent Bruce Absent—School Board at Odds over Colored Cadets in G. A. R. Service. (By R. W. Thompson.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 22.—Skilled lawyers in this vicinity are exempt from the proposition advanced by a coterie of legal lights from the South and elsewhere that that the colored people who produced the cotton that was marketed between 1859 and 1868 in the South were not produced. The $68,702,309.93 realized from the sale of said cotton and can secure their rights in the Court of the District of Columbia against the Secretary of the Treasury. All presumed to be custodian of the money. In pursuance of this idea, Attorney Cornellus J. Jones, of Memphis, Tennessee, filed a suit in the Supreme Court of the United States in preparing to present the claims of former slaves or their heirs for a property owned by them, arrived from the cotton alleged to have been produced by their unrequited lance. The court ordered that the money, said to be held in the custody of the Secretary of the Treasury, All persons interested are asked to furnish the money and the $175 or expenses to Lawyer Jones' office in Memphis, Tennessee. If the labor of the attorneys of the movement ask that the heirs and descendants of such persons send the money to theOUNDATION of the money in question. The lawyers now looking into the case are at a loss to understand how such a fabulous sum of money as $68,000,000 can be gotten out of the United States Treasury by the proceedings of the District. One authority is of the opinion that the only redress to be had, if any can be had, would be through the passage of a special bill by Congress, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay claims, under the Act, and to pay claims to persons who may prove themselves entitled to the benefits alleged to be due them or their forbears. These claims should be prosecuted before the United States Court of Claims, in accordance with the system in vogue, and no money can be paid out of the Treasury until all of the claims are各得其利. This is the ground taken by able lawyers and if they are in error, it is up to Attorney Jones, Hewlett and others to make their side of the matter clear. The court of Claims, as the court of claims of claimants are expected to pay $1.75 each into a fund for the prosecution of claims for money alleged to be due them, they should be satisfied that the procedure under which the suit is instituted is the proper one and that they have a case that is not to be filed in the court of claims, and to set at rest all invidious gossip, as well as to be absolutely just to the Secretary of the Treasury, to the claimants involved and to themselves, the promoters of this $68,000,000 movement should make sure of their own claims, and to the responsibility of a scandal and to set at rest all invidious gossip, as well as to be absolutely just to the Secretary of the Treasury, to the claimants involved and to themselves, the promoters of this $68,000,000 movement should make sure of their own claims, and to set at rest all invidious gossip, as well as to be absolutely just to the Secretary of the Treasury. The national mind, in its present state, is willing to willing to take anything for granted. Dissolution of the Donovan Liberian Trust, Demanded. Have the Negroes of the United States lost all desire to migrate to the South, and longer a demand on the part of American Negroes to find homes, in the West African Republic, the heirs or Mrs. Negroes of the Negroes of the Circuit Court of Baltimore a petition to have declared null and void a trust to the Negroes of the Circuit Court of Baltimore the purpose of assisting colored people to go to Liberia and to stimulate educational work among the Negroes administered all these years by the American Colonization Society, which has its headquarters in this city. The Negroes of the Negroes has expended only about $20,000 of the income from the Donovan fund in 17 years, and has from have amounted to more than $40,000. The office expenses have been quite heavy, but with all that a surplus has been made to the society that indicates, according to the claims of the Donovan heirs-at-large, which the trust was created. Since Negroes do not wish to go to Liberia, the petitioners ask that the trust be furnished to be distributed among Mrs. Donovan's residuary legates and their descendants, officials of the American Colonization Society and Rev. Ernest Lyon, of Baltimore, Liberia's consular agent in this city, and the resolution of the Donovan trust. The matter is now before the courts. The Board of Education and Colored High School, Cuddes. At the first meeting of the Board of Education for the new school term, a task was assigned to use of the high school cadets in connection with service as aids to the commission of the veterans coming to the National Encampment of the G. A. R. Sentiment service. In the request of the committees for the cadets, but in the course of the debate, the commission included the cadets of the colored high schools. He regarded their participation as matter in view of the fact that hundreds of colored veterans would be here, and service such as only colored boys, familiar with local conditions, could render a service to the veterans to have started a row, and caused the The Frie man As an advert medium is uneq by any Negro Newspaper, going into the homes of a class of thrifty, money-spending Afro-Americans not reached by any other Journal.

Moten issue, to again divide into two groups, one insisted on Dr. Childs that the colored boys be given an equal opportunity with the whites in the G. A. R. committee, the question on the ground that the committees had asked only for whites, and the question on the ground that the committees were solved at this time. The whole matter was finally referred to Supt. E. L. Thurston for such action as seemed appropriate to the premises. Mr. Thurston has not yet indicated his attitude on the subject, the superintendent on all problems affecting the race, it is believed he will respond in favor of the utilization of the colored branch of the G. A. R. committee. The Lee-Terrell committee is satisfied all members to assist all members a chance to solve the problem on right lines, and the incident will doublestress with the issuance of a writ of permission for the members to assist to assist the colored committee. Public Schools Open for New Term. The regular opening of the public schools took place on the 20th, with a large attendance. Before the end of school year, the rollment in the colored divisions will approximate 15,000. Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Campbell will resume his duties. It is expected that the Board of Education will name some one to lead the school system at least. Prof. W. S. Montgomery Hershaw, Hugh M. Browne and N. B. Marshall are among those considered as successors Bruce, but wise ones are not the intention of the Board to show its hand at this juncture. This is interpreted as the school system's office, has a good show as acting assistant superintendent, the final decision to be held in abeyance probably will be taken. The complications set in—and this is likely as anything else under the sun—Supt. E. L. Thurston will continue to manage the color scheme with white school as he has been doing for the past several months. The situation will be "ticklish" as it is determined by Congress to take with reference to the local school embroght. The News in a Nut Shell. Attorney Thomas L.

But do it with Kink-no-more, the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more hair is more durable than Kink-no-more hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair, and, with a little combing, the hair becomes straight. It takes about a week but to last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened by a hair worker. So marvelous does it do its work that one can hardly believe their hair is so straight. It is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a day, or one hour, of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound, but it is not hard to scrape the scalp nor hair, but will stop it from falling out; positively removes dandruff, promotes luxurious skin, and helps keep the scalp dry and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that will send to any one on the receipt of $1 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough of hair.

ECHOES FROM THE BUSINESS LEAGUE Side-Lights on and the Aftermath of the Most Successful, Unique and Historical Session of the Afro-American's Chamber of Commerce. By R. W. Thompson. Washington City led with a delegation of twenty-five. Boston is aptly described as "The City of Inspiration." A E. Manning says Indianapolis will ask for the League again in 1817. Boston has 300 business places conducted by colored men and women. The meeting place for 1915 was not named by the convention—but Kansas City "has hopes." Every comparison between "fifteen years ago and now" found the odds in favor of the League. The "social side" though brilliant, was not permitted to interfere with the business side of the convention. Dr. Summon A. Furniss one of the "regulars," was missed. Had to attend another meeting in the Middle West. The Boy Scouts did yeoman service in assisting the housing committee. They were picturesque in khaki uniforms. A poem by Rev. J. H Matthias, entitled "The People" featured on several occasions where speaking was the order of the hour. Not a word was said by any delegate about "hard times." It was a gathering of prosperous and farsighted business forces. M. W. Turner held up the banner for Turner up the state. He served on the committee on credentials and spoke interestingly on several questions. The delegates were pleasantly received at the registering station, the Campbell and Martin, who carry on a real estate syndicate at 121 Kendall street, in the heart of the colored business section. The banquet at Convention Hall Friday evening was a "thing of beauty." The caterer, James H. Madison. The picture presented at the tables, with all in evening dress, was one not soon forgotten. The Boston Reliance, Miner F. Hamilton manager, notices the occasion by getting a special illustrated edition, containing much informing matter and running the cuts every prominent business factor in the The cars on the trolley ride stopped reverently when the spot was reached American blood in the Revolutionary War. A circle in the granite blocks marks the hallowed ground upon which this dark-hued martyr fell. Mrs. Joseph St. Pierre Ruffin, one of Belfast's most prominent presented at the first session at Convention Hall and given a seat on the platform—the first time such a disruption to understate rather than overstate being the rule. The fantasies of the crowd were big results from nothing, formerly essayed by some, was beautifully lacking at this meeting. The splendid light and admirable ventilation of Convention Hall made the business in hand. Friday's session continued from 9:30 a.m. m. until 5 p. m., and few persons, if any, left m. except a short time for lunch. No one could go astray as to the program of each day, for the details of each day, for the details of each session by Joseph W. Powell, the less chairman of the public committee. Mr. Powell was "on the job" from revelille to taps, and was a veritable "bureau of information." Rev. John E. White, of Atlanta, got a good start in his opening with "Mr. Chairman, Brothers and Sisters." This from a Southern Caucasian "brought down the house, and generous and high-secret selections." He gave a white heat of enthusiasm throughout. Rev. Archibald H. Grimke, president of the Washington branch of the N. A.

C. P., dropped 'in on Friday morning, and was greeted with a salvo of fire now living for the most part in the nation's capital, and is a staunch advocate of the civil and political rights of the race. Among the ladies of the official party, who gave zest to the many people of Washington, Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, Mrs. John A. Kenney, all of Tuskegee University, Mrs. D. H. C. Scott, Montgomery, Miss; Mrs. D. H. C. Scott, Montgomery, Ala.; Mrs. A. L. DeMond, Charleston, S. C., and Mrs. Charles H. Brooks, of Philadelphia. Dr. Washington and took part in each of the notable functions and sessions of the convention. In addition to the trolley ride and the Unity Club reception, the "Wizard" team took the first ball to the pitcher. He was on the refreshing boat ride on the Bosnian harbor, and later on took in the clambate at Readville Driving Club Park. The immense charts on the walls of Convention Hall, showing the representations and what might yet be done in these same pursuits, were studied with care and many of the facts were taken into account. We have future reference. Rev. L. G. J. Gordan photos of them made for the Chicago exposition, so valuable did the consider them. The resolutions, offered by a committee headed by Mr. Gordan, were adopted without conflict. When an objection was made to the mayor's address, the Governor and mayor for their "addresses," the fact was remembered that the mayor made no address. By manifold agreement the wording was changed to "guided gentlemen for "courtesies extended," and all was well. A. Eichelburger & Company attracted favorable attention by reason of having on hand everywhere the cigars manufactured especially for B.B. League season as a compliment to the race's peerless leader. At the banquet committee at the Hotel Melbourne, the Eichelburger, presented Dr. Washington with a box of the cigars named "Bob." He accepted the token with thanks. The Eureka Co-Operative Bank, incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts, instituted that came in for interest institutions that came in for interest amination. David E. Crawford, the energetic secretary, gave a graphic account of the bank is conducted, and told of the habits of thrift and home-ownership that the institution had engendered by making classes of "The Hub." Samuel M. Merchant is president of the bank. The singing of the Hampton Institute Quartet is interpolated in the interpolations of the convention series—and they never seemed to tire of the melodies that touch the soul of "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray." "Steal Away," "I Want to Be Ready," and "Do You Want the Lord Told Me To死," were some of the lections rendered. The well-pleased audience saw to it that the boys got several good dinners in recognition of their beautiful "playing on the vocal harp." The reception at the handsome $10,000 Unity Club, 228 West Canton street, 900 Fifth Avenue, the finest affairs of the week. The parors and rear garden were crowded during the two hours allotted to the bracing all kinds of sandwiches, Boston baked beans with brown bread, the bracing all kinds of sandwiches, is social and beneficial and numbers among its members the best young men of Boston. The president is John B. Hancock, who through was presented individually to to Dr. and Mrs. Washington and the staff of the Business League. The trolley ride was delightful, Seven carloads of enthusiastic sightseers were carried all over the history of the city to see, with their own eyes, such memorable spots as the Boston City Hall, the state house, the famous Boston Museum and the place where he fell.

The announcements in the officers' car were made in cleancut and mellufaent tones by that orator and statesman, Stewart E. Hoyt, chairman of the citizens' committee. The musical features at the Symphony Hall meeting were of the highest class. The great chorus of 100 voices, carefully selected from the city choirs, under the direction of J. Sherman Jones, sang several numbers, including the Hallelujah chorus, "Gloria in Excelsius," etc., was magnificent. Mrs. Lida Bright Thomas presided at the organ and played a voluntary prior to the opening of the session. Clarence Cameron White, White Quartet (made up by Mr. White, Miss Ethel Mae Powell, Elmer Harrell and Joseph Barrow, was most cordially received. The acoustic properties of this great hall are fine and the most delicate shading of voice or instrument can be heard in the remotest corners. The "live wire" of the week was W. Alexander Johnson, the youthful, charismatic, and well-known No. 1. He is a "hail fellow, well met," a born organizer of men, and fits into his job as snugly as a lady's glove, and as a "hail fellow," and the "hear great," and gave everybody the "cheery smile" and the "glad hand." He was an owner of a school where he drew the difference between night and day—just worked all the time, and at anything his hands would meet at night—and the first one we would greet the next morning on the school bus. He and the country is destined to help more of him. Mrs Mary L. Johnson, his estimable "help-meet," is also affable and a beauty culture school on Tremont street and does a gilt-edge business. Her address on the practical side of the business is most scholarly presentations heard during the great session. The "thriller" of the welcome addresses was that delivered Wednesday at the Attorney-General of the United States. His eulogium on the relation of the two men to the race and invitation to journey with him through an allegorical jauteur to the world-wide conflicts, in which the darker peoples of the earth give earthly guidance to their sittened an oratorical gem "of the purest ray serene. A rich vein of humor and wit, the man who converted the grace and the gay into a delicious intellectual salad that satisfied every appetite. Mr. Lewis met it and mastered it. He was warmly congratulated by all. It was a great success, and many great speeches, but in none did he hit the mark more squarely than on this eventful morning. It was a hard adversity. It was one that will live. The banquet given by the Boston Business League Tuesday night at the University of Pennsylvania, the custers and executive committee of the National League was attended by 100 men and 100 women, pronounced by those who have followed the League for many years to the University of Pennsylvania, kind yet experienced. The menu embraced every substantial, as well as every delicacy, known to the gastroenterologist, the face R. J. Royster, proprietor of the Melbourne, Clarence G. Matthews, and Clarence G. Matthews, Attorney, was toastmaster and acquitted himself with credit. His introduction to the profession and his rose to the heights in presenting his sometime preceptor, Dr. Washington. Mr. Matthews said he was the most successful of the number of schools, but the one which gave him more pride than all of the rest put together, he said. The keege Institute. Witty talks were made by Dr. Washington, and co-founded by Col. Johnson, Watkins, Hoyt, Harris, Banks, Royster Kennedy Courtney and others. Berry O'Kelley, of Method. N. C. near Raleigh, was one of the "giants" of the convention. This modest-appearing gentleman has so many titles and honors that "Pooh-Bah" of "Mikado" fame would turn green with envy if he could journey to the home of O'Kelley in the "Old North State." Mr. Kelly started but was as a living man with $5 as the sum total of his earthly possessions. Now he is worth not less than $75,000, although he won't tell you himself how much he has of this world's goods. A few days ago at Method a school named after O'Kelley was dedicated. He personally gave the institution $500. He was not an agent of the age, and, and postmaster in his home town. He is president of the North Carolina Colored State Fair Association. He is a large stockholder in a prosperous shoe store at Raleigh. Not only is he generous to schools, but is an active worker in three churches and gives liberally to all. Mr. O'Kelley said he had no trouble in getting any amount of money to be wanted from the banks and that he so-called "segeration" movement to keep the Negro from buying desirable farm lands had no deterrent effect on him. He could not anyone and he was able to pay for from anyone, white or black, who desired to sell. A solid speech—one that told of a business that strikes close to the family, heartsthistone—was the manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, with headquarters at Durham, North Carolina. The financial financier of Durham, is president of the association. Mr. Spaulding is also vice-president as well as manager, and Dr. A. M. Moore, whose standing as a financial officer has retained and treasurer. The corporation was organized in 1899. The first year's business amounted to $440. Steady growth has increased, until today, just closing its 16th year, its business totals $444, for the year. The company operates in three states and gives employment to over 700 persons in the offices and in Selda. Its most valuable asset, as Mr. Spaulding has said, is mensense working capital, its long list of policy holders and big deposits with the National Association of Insurance. The evidence of the public that the company values most. This is fundamental and the N. C. Mutual and Provident Association, made a marked impression on Mr. Spaulding's speech and answered many pertinent questions about his company and the insurance business in general and made a marked impression on Mr. Spaulding's association and of Mr. Spaulding and the Gibraltar-like forces that have made them top-otchers in the business of protecting mankind against the rainy that are here to come some time in every life.

Georgia offers a fruitful field for missionary work. Dr. Booker T. Washington is to make a tour of Kentucky. The National Negro Business League "got there with both feet" at Boston. "Mashing" is now unlawful in New York but the awful practice will cease, of course. Ira T. Bryan will be an interesting figure at the next general conference of the A. M. E. church. Prof. C. H. Moore, national organizer, thinks mighty well of Roanoke, Va., as a center of business activity among colored people. Contiguous districts for bishops and the establishment of Episcopal residences will be big issues at the Zion conference at Louisville next May. There was no evidence at Columbus that Gen. Joseph L. Jones lost any of his titles when he was robbed of that case at a New York hotel last year. The “white-wash” artist is not wanted in church, lodge or business. Let the light be turned on grafters and thieves. They give the race nothing but a bad name. T. Gillis Nutter has been re-elected Grand Exalted Ruler of the B. P. O. E. of the World. Didn't we tell you so two months ago? Depend upon the "Short Flights" man to pick your winners. --- Chicago has done its best to redeem the reputation of the Negro as an exposition promoter—that is, some of the promoters were on the level, and really exhibit that was a credit to the race. Captive critics of Booker T. Washington are wasting their time. Let them do as well along their own line of thought before they venture to find fault with the work of the "Tuskegee Wizard." No one is surprised that the jury found that, too, Frank came to his despair, the man of parties known, "etc. Twas ever thus when jury and lyncher have been brought into business relations. The emancipation exposition at Chicago seems to be a real show—a shining example of the progress of the race in fifty years of freedom and largely becoming the Negro from the roaring frenzy pulled off at Richmond by one Jackson. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, St. Louis, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Birmingham and Kaleigh are cities of the Midwest. They are also the trained the National Negro Business League. Let their magnates get busy. The inspiration such an organization brings to a town is worth many times the money expended. It is funny how a fellow who "can't life up to the people who are alive" is at the figure, manages to survive on $40 per month when he is reduced to such remuneration. Wouldn't a business manager be paid $75 per month and save at least $25, investing the surplus in a growing business enterprise that would eventually yield a comfortable income? The colored people of the country have no love for the jitney bus promoters and are glad when the streetcars are up to the regulations governing common carriers or be forced out of business. The jitney is invariably a jimmy car, permitted to thrive. The day of the jitney will be short and deservedly so. --- Mrs. Grace R. Moreland, widow of the late Dr. John F. Moreland, who died in 2013, is the faculty of the A. M. E. Zion church, has donated 1,000 for a "John F. Mortland Chapel," and is the formation of his sons, and then will be perpetuated in the education of deserving students in Livingston College, the premier school of the Zion denomination. Some papers advise that grafters be informed if they are ignorant about the grafters want. To let an evil-doer alone is to encourage others in evil-doing. Those who allow a thief to escape the consequences of this thieving are partices criminis in the theft. The place for grafters is the penitentiary and law-loving people should try their level best to put them there. Prof. Charles H. Moore, by sharp contrast with his immediate predecessor, gave a fine exhibition of what a national organizer for the Business League ought to be. He ate but few books, but in many how he did fetch the people to the league standard, and he didn't care whether they were high, low, rich or poor. And, he did not prove to be an expensive luxury, either. Some short-sighted grouches insinuate that colored men can not handle other people's money without allowing a goodly portion of it to stick to the fingers. At the recent session of the Supreme Lodge, K of P., the reports of the officers showed that half a million dollars had passed through the hands of the authorities in the various jurisdictions and that not a penny has been misplaced. This should not be overlooked when the pessimists begin to growl. The presentations at the Columbus encampment of the K. of P. were embalmed in a large silver preme Chancellor S. W. Green was given a solid gold jewel, an insignia of his office. Supreme Worthy Counselor Calanthe, was presented with a solid silver cup, the gift of the Alabama delegation honored H. C. Bryant, Jr. grandson of the Supreme Worthy Counselor, with a diamond ring. Why not a larger representation of Negro workers in the shoe and knitting factories of New England and in the textile industry of vanilla? It is settled that thousands of colored workers are to leave the south for the next few years must find places in the gainful occupations of the north. Why not start an aggressive campaign to recruit men and women in the great factories of the north? The Newport News (Va.) Star, one of the best-edited papers in the country, is a professor at time in urging a larger degree of reliability in employees in colored business establishments. The young man or woman should be as scrupulous in the matters of the work as in the morning, keeping as steadily on the job and laboring at all times in the interests of the business. The teacher, over the white man, can reliably and reliable help the crying need of the Negro business man. Gov. Capper of Kansas, is a prohibitionist from his heart. He has laid down a regulation that no man who drinks can secure or hold a government office in Kansas. The law of Kansas. The governor's order calls for the resignation of any employee if he takes a drink at his own home or stays in Kansas City, just out of town. William Allen White to ask "What's the matter with Kansas?" What has effervescent Nick Chiles to say show? The sensible southern farmer will not again depend solely on cotton, war or no war. Gen. J. S. Carr, of North Carolina, will look up to as a 'guide, counselor and friend,' says his state will produce this year, besides a fine cotton crop, a cottonseed oil, and gifted products. He says he expects to raise 4,000 bushels of wheat on less than 200 acres, and that others will do as well. He says the south will be the colored farmer of the south, who should greater need of ready money than General Carr does. The startling news has gone forward that the Philadelphia General Conference of the A. M. E. church may not make any new bishops. This is not the case, and take notice. Not only would such a decision bring consternation to those who wish to be bishops, but to those who wish to be bishops in places vacated by the men promoted. The economists seek to save $30,000 in salaries and claim that the church can get along for four years with the staff of bishops. Is this heresy, or not? Rev. W. H. Jernigan, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist church, Washington, D. C., has issued an unique circular, suggestive toon, that right-thinking people should lay aside bundles of "favorite excuses" marked the death, "domestic cares," business care, "sickness," pride, etc., and come to the House of God on Sunday, where, he says, everyone will find "rest" under happy, and encouraging circumstances. One and should be widely circulated by those who think a "day of rest" means idling at home or engaging in some unworthy pursuit. It is pleasant to note that Speaker Champ Clark, by firmness and rare courage, prevented a mob at Bowling Green man charged with killing a white farmer in a pitchfork fight. Mr. Clark halted the mob in its mad career, plead guilty, and so convinced the gang that he was right that they dispersed. The colored people of the country have allowed his for his breadth of vision as a statesman and as a friend of American fair play. They will admire him all the more from now on, in view of his gallant victory and order at his Bowling Green home. Rev. J. G. Robinson, of Arkansas and other states, is making some sage suggestions to the A. M. E. Church through his "Just a Few Dots—That is the opport of all." The Freeman-Hea calls attention to a plain, common-sense manner to many evils that should be remedied by the general conference. A rich meet-in next May at Philadelphia, the 19th C.E.E.A. leaders will do well to hearken unto the clarion call of Brother Robinson. The latter is a candidate for editor of one of the church papers, a out of a doctor with a contest. As an editor he would be a "cracker-jack." He would make a mighty rattling of dry bones in the valley of Allendom. Bishop Walters is the political hero of the race. Recognized by the decision of the Supreme Court in the grandfather clause cases, he renews his determination to fight for the civic and political recognition of his political, south-south and overall, the real seat of racial opportunity lies. At Indianapolis is the other day he outlined a plan, which he will amplify from time to time, and ask the families to make the colossal impact of the work to make it a success. His faith is in the ultimate triumph of the black man's cause is based on his belief that in the final analysis right is how well we can work with the Walters is a constructive statesman of the finest, caliber, and is never daunted THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH Youngstown, Ohio --- --- --- . . . *** --- --- by difficulties. He enjoys the fullest confidence of the right-thinking people of both races. * Dr. Jasper Tapper Phillips, one of Nashville's leading physicians, after a visit to Montgomery, Ala., speaks in the most optimistic tone of the progress that is being made by the race in Nashville in capital. He voiced his observations in an document and thoughtful address at the Williams Chapel C. M. E. church in that city, where his itinerary included Birmingham, Ala., and Baptist Sunday School Congress and, in association with Dr. W. P. Landers, performed a number of delicate surgical procedures. Dr. Phillips is a "live wire" at Nashville in the movement for civic advancement or racial uplift is complete without him. An exchange says the men who "misconduct" the affairs of the Gallilean estate, certainly were adepts at covering tracks and finger-prints effectively, and goes on to state that "the circuit was most rigid scrutiny, returned a verdict that it is utterly impossible to find and analyze the $4,000 or more which the bank wished to disappear somewhere and somehow during the life of the bank of Gallilea it seems. As fisherman it seems, the Gallilean它 celebrated "Izaak Walton" look like a selling plater. Some colored bank-ware no better than some white bankers. Indianapolis is to have a first-class hotel for the accommodation of colorful guests, with investment, containing eighty-five rooms with thoroughly modern appointments, including elevator service, Chicago hotel, and a fully-equipped Brown, adding to the fairly-adequate equipment of the town.

Dr. Jordan is the showing at the convention of charts indicating the present status of the community and the industrial arena and showing the scope of its operations may be enlarged. It is said that the leading candidates for the Zion bishopric, Drs. J. S. Jackson and G. C.

The black man must make a determined effort to retain the labor that has long been his in the hotels, barber shops and stores of the northern cities. Travelers in the east this summer have noticed with misgivings the immense number of foreigners doing the work formerly set aside as "colored men's jobs." They are crowding the black man out of the boot-blacking, cab-driving, portering, cook shops, laundry and barber shops. Following the European war there will be an influx of immigration that will bring millions of common workers to these shores. Will the black man clinch his hold on his allotted occupations now, or will he awake to his danger when it is too late? Even now, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Milwaukee have almost ceased to be American cities. REV. WM. O. HARPER.

Wading beautifully into winter at this writing. Not knee deep as yet, to use poet Riley's expression, but the progress is interestingly perceptible. At the rate the allies are using money they will lick up a billion in a jiffy. Why not re-spend some of the money they are putting out? Who gets the money? The A. M. E. conference, which held forth at Bethel church, this city, last week, was one of interest. The new appointments have been made, and from all accounts were generally satisfactory. 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 achievement during the past fifty years of our existence as a freed people. The latest note from Germany is that strict orders have been given to submarine commanders to let inners pass unattacked when in doubt. The object is to run no risks of making mistakes. If the program is lived up to much of the present unpleasantness between the two countries will disappear. The Chicago exposition closed in a blaze of glory. The Windy City has a way of doing big things. And that is not buncombe. Chicago is a Negro haven. From early youth the ambitious Negroes have that city in mind as a place of residence, or at least, to visit. It means the gathering of a wide-awake energetic mass that other cities, logically, can not have. Big burgoo feast for the Republican clans was pulled off at the State Fair Grounds last Wednesday. Kentucky burgoo is a soup of distinction, and which has for some reason been associated with political gatherings, especially when there are to be high resolves. Leading politicians of the state, from governors down, enjoyed the outing. Speechmaking and hand-shaking on the part of the candidates were a part of the program. Mr. Bryan is against making more efficient the army and navy. This is in accord with his peace program. Most of us are for peace. We may never again have use for a large army, but who knows anything about it? Mr. Bryan's views concerning such matters have no particular value. His influence, of course, can greatly obstruct the plan of military efficiency. The only guide in such matters is past and present history, together with the trend of the present-day thoughts of men. Many political workers of this community are having some fine reviews of the business during the present trial of Mayor Bell and others for election frauds. There are some politicians who will not see their own reflections as the trial progresses, but we don't think that it is the rule. We have in mind the hustlers about the poll. It's a rare one, indeed, if he fails to find any of the evidence brought out as some part of his own experiences. In the language of his last rise, he rises like a dream. And then again, after Col. Henry Watterson, we imagine they have it, "Let the galled jade wince, we thank God that our withers are unwrung. WHO GETS THE MONEY? There is an old saying that the mill will never grind the grain with the water that has passed. But in theory it does that very thing in view of the ever recurring rains with the ocean as the one great source. Vast sums of money are required to maintain armies in the fields as can be seen at this time when the great European governments seem to be at their wits end to provide the necessary funds. Other countries have had the same difficulty, the financial stringency, when it appeared that the vast sums so generously poured into the channels of circulation were lost forever. The cry always has been for more money by warring governments. One feels to ask the question who sets the money? The vast amounts spent in maintaining armies, it seems, should find its way readily back to the government to be used over and over again. But the fact seems to be that a comparatively few men reap the enormous benefits of war in a money sense. Poor Tommy Atkins saves but a small amount if he has the opportunity to spend it. And if some of the soldiers save largely the money is generally forwarded to the home to care for those they leave behind them, consequently it finds its way again into circulation, and immediately. So the conclusion must be that the big business concerns are the beneficiaries of great wars. In the present war this is so notably true that the British government has found it necessary to excessively tax large business interests, especially those that manufacture munitions of war. This excessive taxation seems dras- tic, and of course, unusual, but, nevertheless, its logical thing to do in view of the immense sums that the government is spending with those concerns. Every great war in civilized countries creates a crop of new very rich men who win through the distress of their governments. We are not aware of an instance where those that reaped so largely were required to do more than others by way of government support. Heretofore general taxation has helped in raising funds for war purposes, in our own country and presumably elsewhere. This so-called equal distribution of fair was another instance where fair was false. The man has always complained that he bore the burden of taxation. And in a way this is true. In the case of war this is particularly true, even if the comparative few only reap the vast war profits. If the British government carries out its scheme of making the big concerns disgorge a part of their large profits it will be no more than the beautiful thing of equity although not lodged in governmental principles. There is no way of ascertaining the views of the management of those concerns, but it stands to reason that they know, we are reminded of our resources, consequently could not reasonably complain of injustice when compelled to help the government maintain itself in a struggle on account of which they benefit so largely. The soldier in the field, after all is the man. He gives his all—more than money—his life. Nor is this the end of it. He sacrifices his family; his children are scattered to the winds; he merely question follows, true, but it merely suffices to stay hungry, if that. The British government has hit on a proper method of getting back some of the millions it is so generously sending into circulation. GILES B. JACKSON VINDICATED It is now being said that Giles B. Jackson, manager of the late lamented exposition at Richmond, Va., made a brilliant coup when he was haled up before an investigating committee anent the affairs of said exposition. It is being said that he was able to show good and faithful accounts of his transactions, and a splendid balance to the tune of $16,000. And this is heralded forth as his vindication. True enough, some publications suspected irregularity in Mr. Jackson's finances, but The Freeman made no such intimation. It charged gross mismanagement, and which defeated the success of the exposition. That's the thing to talk to, and not correct accounts and splendid balances. Had he spent some of his $16,000 perhaps, the show would have made good, answering its great purpose, and which was not to see how many dollars could be turned over at the last accounting. The Freeman said specifically that Mr. Jackson borned his publication during the preparation for the exposition. He beaded it heavily with matter concerning it, and which, more than likely, was not done. He said that the publication was here to stay, floated it from the mast, as if he half suspected that the respectability of its birth was questioned. We are pleased to know that his accounts were found to be regular, and that the old carry-all of sundries were not necessary to bolster up things, that is, if this was not necessary. But that is beside the question. The exposition should not have made the miserably poor showing. It was the thing in which to have been most interested—the success of the undertaking. In the name of the race it is well that there was no defaulacy. The failure was a signal disgrace—a national disgrace, as little we may charge had been added. The splendid success of the Chicago exposition was necessary to centralize that blight, to offset it, and with a surplus of good or else the race would stand charged today with a stupidity that is scarcely less than criminal. We thank Mr. Jackson for managing to keep out of the toils, and which required the least of his efforts. His failure to make the exposition go remains as rank as ever, regardless of the funds he returned to the coffers of the state. JOHN MILHOLLAND. An enthusiastic admirer of John Milhalland, sociologist, sent to this office a few days ago a recent issue of The Bulletin, an influential weekly publication of San Francisco containing an article from the pen of Mr. Milhalland on the Negro question which covers the entire front page of that journal. The admirer asked us to give our view of the article. We find it impossible to review the contribution with anything like the satisfactory way we are led to believe the gentleman expects. The article is not only lengthy for the kind, it brings in much matter which answers the object of the writer, we will say, but which is not such as we think proper for comment in this paper. For instance Mr. Milhalland deals largely in Biblical matter, insisting thatocracy was first suggested by a black man, the object being to show ingratiitude for the present status of the Negro in this country. One question that is not a question for argument since it is a conclusion caught up of Biblical narrative. Mr. Milholland rushes down the records of men who have been quoted as the author of the present day democracy, like an abstract of titles man, until he reaches the "great first cause," He cites Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, the Magna Charta of King John, Hampton and Cromwell, Mirabeau, Danton, Rousseau, Aristotle, Plato, Pericles and Moses, ending with Jethro, the Ethiopian priest of Michian, the father-in-law of Moses. He says: "Jethro saw the foundations of the American Republic, and every effort toward democracy that the world has seen throughout the intervening years." All of this is told interestingly and to a purpose, but as we intimated it is beyond the scope of ordinary newspaper discussion. By ingenious argument he shows that Jethro started the democratic ball a rolling. He quotes liberally from the Bible in support of his views, after which he said: There you have the genesis of every democracy that the world has seen. There you have the germ of one of the great ideas that have influenced the human race back to that old Ethiopian priest whose daughter Moses took unto himself as wife. It is not our business to call attention to Mr. Milholland's argument owing to his views. They are as THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER likely to be right as those of other men. If he sees democracy's seed sown by Jethro, the Ethiopian, it is in kind with many notions gotten of the Bible, and which are now great principles of organizations. The various churches owe their origin to the varied views of men concerning what the Bible says. He learns after quitting his Biblical discourse discusses the race question much as it is discussed by other thinkers, both white and colored. He makes this very sage observation: "These joyous people, who inherit joy at birth, that which we only get when sitting on the starboard side of a ship, which they are now passing, Mark Tapley quality in the colored race is overwhelming. If it were not, slavery, and the aftermath of poverty, would have made them misanthropes, or anarchists, or in some form enemies of race, would put up with what they have suffered and still remain good citizens, and loyal to the government to protect their lives and their property." What the writer says has been said in various ways and at various times by most every observing thoughtful Negro and also by many white men. The quality of joy is inherent in the race, and has been its salvation. It was so judiciously placed that it seems as if the result of Heaven's reflection or deliberation, the buttress against the rushing avalanche of destruction. Time, opportunity and the resultant transformation are playing their part in striking out this erstwhile saving quality. That is to say, the Negroes are rapidly assuming their whole responsibility in the world, practically free and untramelled, meaning the absence of the extra imposition of men, by way of enslavement, which sets up killing power. They set up its insignia of offence in the physiognomy of mankind. In other words, slavery brutalizes soul and body, and hence the counteractant with which our people are so largely endowed was the saving necessity. The writer's intent was not in this direction—a strict sociological treatment of the Negro race. He, however, let fall many expressions which readily suggest enlargement. He had in mind the denial of Negro suffrage, the free participation in that democracy, which, as he says, one of their kind had the forsight to see as the best government for man in general. When he says that another people than the Negroes under the circumstances would have soured on civilization, becoming anarchists in the worst sense, attempting the destruction of the thing to which they gained no admission, the observance or may it be complimented to the man. Perhaps the idea of unrest is not to be encouraged even by naming it. It is apparent that a sort of soul unrest is on in the Negro race and which naturally follows education and enlightenment. Slavery, the Civil War, are recording from old memories; the new ones know nothing of those things, thinking of them as traditions and of which they had no part. It means that the new Negro will be mighty impatient with his narrow conditions until they greatly increase. He needs no encouragement in view of the steady growth in one way or the other. His narrow ways are increasing in spite of the noise and bluster in order to keep up the show of the old order of things. The Negroes, without doubt, are the most illuminated light. In the twilight now, but else long, its full flood of noon will encompass when suffrage and the rest of it will be theirs as they are other men. Of course there are dangers ahead. They must prove worthy of their hope and prospects, or they will turn o'-the-wisps. We said in the beginning that there was no way to properly comment on Mr. Milholland's article. We have spoken to it in part, enlarging on what he had to say rather than commenting. The article is a splendid contribution of loyalty to the whole people and to the genius of our nation. The fundamental principles are to see the man as another before the law and institutions, so far as it concerns race, color or previous condition of servitude.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review By Sylvester Russell. Black Pattl at the Grand Theater—Biggest Drawing Card in the His- The announcement that the original Black Patti, who for so many years had been the greatest singer of her race, would appear at the Grand Theatres in the morning of the same day, was the only house to be sold out as both performances, and people turned away, which notably proved that Sissieretta Jones, who is positively the original Black Patti, now holds the first record of the morning. The first of the house when the great diva entered there was a loud, prolonged reception to greet her. The stage was set in a prior secrete, including the band's prior number, "Luckstone" and "Delighted Waltz," was played by the orchestra, with two planos and was a difficult mezo number for articulation. Her second number was a plaintive folk-record, "The Swanee River," which brought a better conception of her great vocal embellishments to the front, was encoded, and in the song "Rose in the Bud" was a "Cold Man," and the band's vocal emzo, howel and consonant and dyssyllable pronouncing, which is scarcely understood or fully appreciated by many of the present day theaters. What is the proof that he has done is the same as the held in the house spellbound in each number and her art in vocal reading was a rich school for students. For it is true that Black Patti is still blessed with middle-level and regular register, yet in its art and performance To add to the occasion, a massive horseshoe of roses was a gift from a box party as a tribute to the singer. Nearly twenty years ago B. F. Keith SISSIERETTA JONES, Original Black Pattl. and George Milbank introduced Black Patti from the concert stage into vaudeville at their theaters in Boston. Massachusetts after he had made a wild-old-maturation at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where I sang in the massive chorus. She was never Europe, were sang to the Green Pattie, and on her turn the Black Patti Troubadours was established. Chicago, it seems, was a very old-old-maturation of the first appearance in later-day vaudeville, because of the advantages of a national hearing by criticism from a group of the world's most well-known, who recognized, and through the medium of The Freeman, which reaches the English-speaking world. The agent was established and he was not born a time offers, but many more offers will come in as they hear her sing during her life. The first appearance is a vaudeville acts, which were both white, included Harry Sterling, a good athlete, juggerland and guitarist. Gangler's white poodle and spicy dogs, including high-weight and a small player, were a great act. Billy King in "The Kidnapping Case," a side-splitting performance, and the first appearance in the first appearance of his great skill, both as a comedian and producer. The story of an aged lover and a middle-aged maid, airing by the band, was so far among the by-word, as the maid, Hattie McIntosh, as the maid, again displayed her qualities of eccentric and richness. He also had a long-loved undercover, was a perfect fit as an old-consumptive lover with a cough. Howard Kelly was a true digger, a black-clogged man, and the female lawyer and Bessie Brown, as the female lawyer for the old man, was well up in the life of his nation. The Haggens was a funny blackface cop. Dave Liston, of the jury, was acceptable, and his co-workers, Misses S. S. and the Colt, who had good, gira Kelly was good as the hot-headed witness. Margaret Jackson as a crazy interested person, was totally a scream. He was so very good, and he was a screamer under the Great, an ape which pleased. The Musical Hunters were good on a duelmer, curtain scene, chimes and the so-called "the show," and his work was as good, farce comedy, which told its title story. Billy King and Billy King were the man who was the first producer. All the cast was playable good, and Doc Stalinge was an incomparable dude. The compel these players will be a street vaudeville scene by players to be seen in the cast in the play is not well conceived. Infringes upon the vaudeville and also the new things. The law is not interesting problem for the management to solve. The light should remain up during a wait or a special play. The artist has a regular should work in one even. It is weaker than the old acts preceding. Stewart Closes at the Pekin. Harrison Stewart closed his engagement and night's performance owing to dissension in the company. A few vaudeville acts go on now between the pictures, and the performer is tired as manager. Sam Alston was manager of the wrestling match on last Friday week which was interesting. He was pealed.

The Bob Russell & Billy Owens stock company, which has been playing at the Monogram, had star people in the cast, the actress, and the actor, pany qualify in point of legitimacy or completeness. It will be impossible to me to review the plays this week, owing to the lack of important matter presented, but I do expect at a later date, for an example of the imperfection and lack of study of the characters, when an older actor goes back. Miss Lyhian Brown was the one star of the company who showed superior art in the plays, and I regret to state that the drawback with the Monogram theaters is caused by the ignorant desire of the manager to just not just reason. This is a hindrance to the success of the actors. The effort to keep the critic away from the house is a commercial reason and one in particular, because these columns later on. Not for personal reasons. I have no personal reason to the interest of the ladies, colored race, and the number in proportion more than the white ladies, in Chicago.

It is believed that Bragg had taken his steps back to cover the body, but fled and had not been caught as we went to press. Bragg, who is said to be the owner of the banker and real estate agent, upon investigation is said to be Binga's decorator. Mrs. Bragg, according to Binga, is the Ark, but is known in Kansas City, Mo., where her sister for some unexplained reason desired to move the body. No motive for the crime is yet unearthed. SEEING MILLER BROS.' 101 RANCH PROF. L. LEEKER AND HIS RANCH. As usual in the city, thousands of persons gathered along the main street on the morning of September 11 to see a man in a suit, Bros. Ranch. Rare because it breathes deep with historical America, and of which we never see, were young we were excited by the story trail of the red men. Middle age and old age scarcely serve to make such a difference. The cowboy, the American Cossack, that picturesque addition to the country's life, has made a hit, and who, when he was excited, won a place in the affections of all the people if not in history? He still holds his own in the picture shows all over the country. Then looking of seeing him in real life—that's the time! Of course, real life is glamour. Glamour is good to its good to the original now and then. Indians or cowboys in life could not interest us every day. Let them come as they do, now and then, and we Then think of the cowboy girl, that requisite femininity, that is the one in cestacy. Women and the saddle have always been a most unique combination, and reserve, rather than otherwise—a sort of aristocracy, and to which only a few are invited. To that in itself is a romance. But use these things, the riders in all possible positions, and its worth a day's journey to The 101 ranch is fortunate in the features that bring reminders of the pasting West. The Indians while maintaining their original aspect as savages are kindly, and seem to know what they stand for in this historical pageant. The younger women are pretty and the younger men are handsome. The older women look amiable, motherly, generous as old Nokomis. The older men look like knights of old—sublimely stoical—the essence of nobility, who disdain to smile—so important is their mission on earth. They live the life of forbears in their small rounds, never forgetting the personality with which they were endowed at the beginning of time. They, like their white brothers, were proficient in their lines. Their young men and women rode dexteriously and darinely. The older men and women thundered along, however, not taking the chances that their younger people took. The Sideshow, The Features—Prof. L. K. Belkowski, Band, the Minstrels. Baker's Band I said at another time that the show management be the very thankful for colored people. They are certainly loyal to the sideshows. This occasion was not apparent to others. Our race was out in force. We were under the management of Prof. Baker, played something for everybody—ragtime, sentimental, classic. It consists of twelve persons. The sister of Prof. J. Baker, cornet and bandmaster. Moses Caegood, theícon of the New York Times and the Washington and Washington, cornets. Doc. Ford and P. L. Jenkins and Wm. Nash, trombone; Jas. Mitchell, baritone; H. Hall, tuba; Robert (Rabbit) Wilson, snore drum; W. H. White, bass drum. Wm. Nash, S. F. Ford, Brown, Mitchell and Washington are the feature of the show. The kind as may be met anywhere. Nash is funny every minute, a comedian of the best kind. He makes everybody like him. For the time his singing. The stunts and songs were well received throughout the performances. The sideshow is well furnished with attractions that are interesting. The fortune teller lady was there. She told a fortune and furnished the likeness of the future helpmeet—10 cents. Then there was the man who could punch the bag when upside down—with his feet. His other stunts were wonders to the unknown. The midgets, sister and brother, are an interesting pair. They make a good function in whatever they do. Their little tango is most delightful—two living dolls. The levitation woman was there, rushing still the wonder of our curious minded throngs. How she does it gets clean past us all. Homer Herrick is what might be called a sideshow stock juggler. He does not paint. He has hundreds we have all seen. The men are necessities—must be kept in stock. Henry Gunther, who is beautifully done all over in ink, does tattooing for a small consideration. The sign reads "paint. Roosevelt spelling could as well as without payin'." He gets his, however. Amelia, the tall German girl, strikes one as he enters and, as much for her beauty as for her height, 7 feet 2 inches, weight 225 pounds. In fact, one forgets that he is going to her very wholesome appearance. Miss Sylva has the snakes water repellants are the subject, without doubt some of the finest specimens seen in captivity. She fondles them as if they were alive, and they have a sense at all, they must love her. If snakes can be beautiful, then these are. Notes. The show has recently returned from the New England states. Prof. L. K. Baker sends regards to Prof. R. R. Pope, Jas. Woolcales and Harris and Eason. Elwood C. Knox and Billy Lewis, of the Freeman, appreciated courtesies shown them by Prof. Baker and his men. Prof. Baker and a bunch of his men called on the Freeman office September 14, during in the sights of the city. They were delighted to meet Slidney Kirkpatrick. G. V. Connors still wears the smile that won't come off. He says the side-show of which he is manager has some class, and he is correct. He has just spent some time at his home. AT THE CROWN GARDEN THEATRE Burns and Burns, the Filipino Girls, the Saxophone Girls, Sarah Brynds, Byrds. A rousing good bill at the Crown Garden this week. The attendance is considerably improved. Sarah Green Byrd is a true song bird of the race. It would take a great deal of space to do her justice. Glorious is the fitting term for her. Her song numbers were, "The Nightingale," "I Have You," and "You've Got It." She costumes appropriately. The Saxaphone Kids, the Langston Brothers, are the pair of high-class performers. Their gags are unusual and good. They know what to do with their saxophones. The Filipino Girls, a new sister team, stirred them all up. Both are graceful in their pretty dances. The singing of Miss Young was decidedly effective and pleasing. Miss Johnson wins in her pretty planologue. The Filipino dance was a big hit. Both make fine stage figures. Burns & Burns, who close the bill, are top notchers as comedian and straight. The male partner is amusing in his eccentric steps. The lady has a quaint sweet voice, which well becomes her plantive songs. They keep the house in an uproar. NEW QUEEN THEATRE, BIRMING HAM, ALA. George Lewis, of the team of Lewis & Lewis, is still producing the shows that have been released. The result is capacity business each night. The vaudeville is always up to the standards of the big bill is: McGaar & 'tansell, in melody singing and talking; Rosie Groves, that funny comedian; George Lewis, the comedian; George Lewis—well, seven weeks, going on eight.

Long before opening time there was a capacity crowd within the theater to see the initial performance. The set was a large, open curtain upon the first act until the final curtain of the third act. The first performance was given without a mask, and the swittering hot and the first performance necessarily slow, not a person left their seat until the close of the grand final. "George Washington Bullion Abroad" was unanimously declared to be the best Smart Set show ever produced, and the others are there who do not hesitate to say it is the best colored show seen in America with the possible exception of "Abbysina," as produced by William S. Snyder. The ship wreck, the raft and the Oriental scenes were enthusiastically applauded. The scenery in quantity and the other colored productions. The costumes as designed and made by Miss Jennie Hillman, are beautiful creations and contributed greatly to the success of the show. The chorus is well balanced and unusually strong. The music is pristine and lyrical. The musicians love *Me* anywhere, "Don't Do That to Me, Dear," "Shine, on Southern Moon," "Southern Moon," "Strutting Sam," and "Old Kentucky Blues," were enthusiastically encored. The chorus is a work of Blanche Thompson Hattie Akers, Luke Scott, Ethelyn Proctor, Will Dixon, Frank Jackson, Irene Tasker, and James T. McCormack. Boutie is away from the ordinary. We are happy to be able to offer our choir a whole, wholesome, pleasing entertainment as is contained in the three acts and seven scenes of "George Washington Boulillon Gibson's New Standard Theater Soho Street, New York John T.

In response to the demand for one-act playlets, Manager Thomas put on at the Howard's week a choice dramatic production by May Wilson and company of four people. It was a "thriller," full of sensational, yet subdued effects, and went big with the intelligent audience. The company was white, but it did nothing that capable coled from the company could not have done and it take the palms to study the situations and prepare the material for the dramatic climaxes. Scenery, properties, electrical devices all play a prominent part in the drama of today. The playlet is what the people want and they want it done well.

It was raised to the Nigger, which was played here and there to such large audiences that it had to make a return engagement. It was made to audiences.

JESS WILLARD IN INDIANAPOLIS With 101 Ranch Aggregation—Pink of Physical Manhood—Gives Three Round Sparring Exhibition. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT. DENVER—Sam McVey and Sam Langford, negro heavyweights, have been matched to fight twenty round here on September 30. (By Billy Lewis.) According to schedule Jess Willard, champion heavyweight of the world, reached the final of the attraction of the 101 Ranch aggression. I saw major attraction adversely. Some insist that he only not add shekels to the gate receipts. This assertion is made, course of events, that a man coming out of a feeling that a cloud on his title. I do not hold with those who seek to lessen the man's fear, I believe that he fairly. One only has to see some of those wonderful stunts of accuracy and during by his man. I know that he can be trained. If he wishes to see accuracy and endurance, let him go to the captains, or it will not be possible to take on training of the kind. Every man is not endowed with the premises—the capability of Baseball pitchers are not so general owing to what makes for their qualifications in these days, who throw and catch the burning torches on the stage, with a machine like precision, and who can throw such an endowment in the beginning of steely muscle and nerve, with a judgment that is unerring in its direction, and that is easily evident in the beginning, in childhood. Training does the rest. Pitchers are born, not made. So it is with all of those who do the humanely If we are willing to apply a little of this philosophy—not my philosophy, for I speak only what every man has to do—it is a very good thing to say. I think I will be a clean bill for Jess Willard, or in the first place he was a cowboy, or is a cowboy. What a person has a big "E."? Then I will be in plains with a big "E."? Then I will be taken for granted that he is accurate, perhaps, as much so, in way as that class is with their guns, and that is not so much as this man would say, and youth, and a brass man would not have much on him. With a little speculation along these lines it will appear to be the first place to be the first place to be the first place to be the first place. That is the same thing as a cowboy. The ex-champ had only two things in his favor, those were science and experience. Those defensives of the "gaggenauts" of power and resistance. The Colored men as a rule are brawny and strong, but brawny and strong colored men would have shown the way when he was his own one, the preeminent hardship. Jack Johnson only knew hardship when in the training camp. Those far apart paroxysons of the early years of the war with the uncarpeted ways of the son of nature, who moved where no weakness can thrive. And in very good times the man of the news of plains are as the result of laws of selection. In the republic of Sparta, years ago, it was advocated that the weak-flights were the manhood of the nation. I am not so sure that the cruel scheme was carried out. But the notion of the "cruelness" of the man of the world is not even the other. Some of our modern solons have advocated marriage laws with the same end in view. It is said that the same end is the same thing to fallout, they dash down from their dizzy heights to their obliteration. The western plainsmen need not be so far from the other side of the country, so they are the most robust manhood. They are the choice spirits of their kind gathered from every where, and the world is the same. Now and then a well trained city chaps puts it on one of them in fistcuff as moving pictures show, but he that he has to do the work of a sphere where the cowboy does not shine. Science triumphs in these rare instances, it is not the rule. Add science to the boy and he is invincible—a Jess Willard. Brought up in this rugged school where things are big—mature—towering canyons vast and precipitous, thundering waters and the rest of it, and man is ashamed to be puny — he is akin to imagination pretty far, but, nevertheless we will not get away from human beings—the sun, the moon, the night, the day, damp weather, dry weather, high and low altitudes. It is short everything conspired to form human beings. In form he would answer for a Greek model of heroic type. From tip to tip he seems without a break. He has no freak places in his anatomy where might be lodged particular power atoms in regular some other part, or a form slightly by some potter who was assigning the duty of designing human forms, added life. (The higher up you are the less you have to do.) Symmetry is also outruns the regular man it is because the angularity is particularly service. Jack Johnson was somewhere in the shoulders, where he needed to be a human Walcott was built a human dawn; he was a freak. The symmetricality is built for endurance, not so much for the dawn. The champion was generously anplanted when he made his first applause, introduced. Many, however, knew him, and expected him. That they expected him hits hard the assertion: that he did not like the box receipts. Just how well he was estimated. Many remained to win in his exhibition at the close of the season, and came per cent, instead of the usual cents. His manager introduced him as the man who restored the heavyweight champion's saw only one other colored person in the audience; he sat near me. When an announcement was made we both looked up and spiritually we went down for the count. The may have stayed down for the time we survived. Many colored persons saw us and showed a side show was purchased by them out-turned. But this Jess Willard annexed it. The fact has its luster even a little bit. In Jones, Willard's manager, saw me in jeans, not, however, until I had woken up because by maneuvering in order to find and retrieve the key, I can dismiss you with so little mercy, that I can't got nothing to do with it." "Go somebody else," I was about to say. I came a quarter, when I ran on Mr. Jones, I saw that I had to take him by storm, because he was a busy man and in a house I could plow like a battling, and he fell for me. Hirard's sparring partner, whose name is my memory, is rather dimiminative in name and training. He trains in the business. At no time does he the rounds look serious, although the rounds are so much easier that made the audience laugh. The yellow was aggressive, but Willard came to be showing him back most of the time he was close to the close Willard got after him sharply; it was when he was imitating Johnson. He was well received, but not to leave the audience certain as to his fighting ability. He, however, seemed to be very good at his job. He is said to be very modest and doing but very little by way of showcasing, but is one reason why he is not as popular as he might be. He is just a fighting man, and he might be enough goes home and goes to bed. He enough goes home and goes genially find more attractive places. DENVER—Sam McVey and Sam Langford, negro heavyweights, have been matched to fight twenty rounds here on September 30. LONDON—Bombardier Wells, English pugilist, has been promoted to become sergeant-major of the Twentieth Welsh. It was recently announced today. NEW YORK—An announcement has been made that Mike Gibbons, of St. Paul, Minn., and Young Abearn, of New York, welterweights, have signed a contract with Rock a fifteen-round bout in New Orleans the second week in January.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—When informed that Jack White of Chicago, and Peat McGee of Rock a fifteen-round match to fight ten rounds at Rock island on September 26, Governor Dunne declared that, following his victory, the sheriff of Rock Island county that the fight should not be permitted. BOSTON—Battling Levinsky, of New York, was given the decision over Sandy Ferguson, of Chester, at the Athetas A. A. September 14. The Battler had the advantage of every round, with the exception of the skipped second half, and few times took things easy, just sizing up his opponent. The bout was the most unsatisfactory battle between heavyweights seen here in many moons. General Todd, a Pittsburgh colt, bribed the Western Horseman Stake at the State Fair at Indianapolis. In the second heat, the horse was in 0.30%; 1.01%; 1.33% and the mile in 0.24%. Goldie C. won the 2:25 first division face. Miss Patsy second division face. Red Bingle took the 2:20 trot and Fieleta Dillon the 2:02 pace. WARREN, Ark.—Eddie Jordan, of New York, defeated Dan Mars, of this round exhibition for charity. Mars had very little chance and not one round of play was usual, was as fast as a streak. Winston and William Roberts furnished a fast four-round preliminary, and the second round was Sobey, the soft dring man. Fred Wattson, time keeper. Eddie Jordan sends regards to Willie and Oxtena Franklin in Birmingham, Ala. On September 11, 1910, Michael Gibbons strong against tinsmith at the Great Western show at received 12½ cents for half an hour's show, and 11½ cents for September 11, 1915. Mike Gibbons received $15,000 for half an hour's work, when he boxed Packey McFarland, near Birmingham, for $1,000 paid other piece of work he ever did was when he got $6,000 for meeting at New York on December 4, 1912. "POP" GEERS HAS MADE BIG MONEY ON TRACK Trainer and Pilot of Trotters and Pacers in its Twenty- Bath, Sixth District. "Pop" Geers, who is known as the "Grand Old Man" of the harness world, of the trainer and pilot of trotters and paces, and judging from the way he has been going over the Grand Circuit, is just as great as his trainer. As the 1915 season is not quite finished, the amount the driver driver has put down on purses this season is not beaten by him. In his twenty-five years on the track he has cleaned up $1,178,452. He was born in 1902, when he won purses and stakes amounting to $116,370. In nine of his twenty-five seasons he has been above the $5,000 million.

LEO JOHNSON AND ONE-ROUND SYLVESTER BOX IN BROOKLYN, ILL. Leo Johnson, the colored light-weight champion of the world, and One-Round Sylvester, of Memphis, boxed six fast rounds to a draw in Brooklyn, II., Sept. 19th. The bout was pulled off in the Kentucky base ball park. Leo Johnson is promoting these bouts, which will be put on every Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. "Clock. These bouts last Sunday were only exhibition. At the end of all bouts they are to be called a draw. Jack Mitchell, the Indian middle-weight made Chicago Young Jack Johnson quit in the first round. They fought first about one minute, when Mitchell send a hard right to the stomach and a terrific left hook to the nose, causing the blood to flow freely from Johnson's mouth and nose. This bout was to be a real scrap for the champion middle-weight of Illinois. Lot of money was bet on Young Johnson. Mitchell has a knock-out over Johnson which takes place in St. Louis at the Future City A. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER C. and Mitchell rocked him to sleep in the first round with a left hook to the face. Jack Johnson was out of the준비실. Jack Johnson was told he has to be a good trim Mitchell and told his friends to bet all they h. d. on him, but Mitchell's left was enough. Bally, near the end of the week, sat with Bally and Earl Murphy and went six fast rounds to a draw. In the last round, these boys met the number of the young. Bally was bleeding from the mouth. Ball was bleeding from the mouth and nose but his face was full of smiles. Erph was used to be a good turn to the rest of them knocked the smile from Ball's face. Ball was dancing around, using lightning left jabs and a red head. The唱er was going to be a young fighting. The fans were cheering and standing in the seats. You may call it an exhibition, but that both look at the end of the week. Alligator Kid made Charley Walker quit in the third. Lawrence Walkins, who is a Pastman, was the top-level唱er who made Kid Morgan quite in the fourth. The crowd was well pleased and left laughing and talking with his big-�. The唱er was all turned out to see the bout. Last Friday night Leo Johnson slapped Roux and there were no bowers except the left one to sleep in the fourth round with a left one to sleep in the fourth round. He was on his right-weights, and in the fourth round the matter, and in the fourth round the chances were slim. Now I tell you this Roux is a good boy with hard punches and there are no bowers except Johnson's third round. He has a champion over all the light-weights. He has everything that it is to see to be a champion. He is the one of the next book who stands near him is Leo Patterson. He sure is one clever hard-hitting lad fast as lightning. He has a long-hitting-tonight-to-get-backer, the hardest battle of any of the colored boys. There were lots of white fighters turned out to see Johnson and Roux. In the past he was put to the future. Among them were Harry Trendall, Jimmy Murry of New York, Zulu Kid, Leo Kelley and Patty Kelley, the boy who has been Gator. He was the only man in the last round. Louis. Leo Johnson is a clean fighter and a gentleman out of the ring. He is a book-loving like a bookتا-knocker like a lot of fighters. He gives all the fighters in the south a good name, and St Louis also. The Rattle-up is the only thing that has been done, see how he is going to stand up before Leo Johnson twenty rounds unless he wears a catcher's mask and the same size for the right-weight. You know you are going to you into any opening that he wants to do and they are not going to be the hits your jaw. He is clever and kicks the right-weight. He is the only man in the second round. The Rattle-up is a good man to stay eight or ten rounds. Snake had better beat Patterson first. I will be a good man to be a good man. You can whip a man with a newspaper. Get in that old ring. Leo Johnson is in St Louis, boys. Write to 1286 Pine street to Sam Dickson and the record. Try him eight rounds first.

Sept. 16—Jackie Moore and Earl Murphy fought ten of the hareest fought rounds here you have to remember. Moore had a Murphy fought clean and evenly. It was one of the cleanest fights Kansas Moore had a shade a long range and Murphy had a shade at close quarters and a draw decision was satisfactory to all. Both battled one of the hardest fights in the league and the rounds. Both were fresh at the end. JOHNSON KNOCKS OUT "YOUNG" ROUX IN FOURTH. with all of those who do the humanly awful left hook the jaw won an excellent victory by hitting the Johnson of New York over "Young" Roux of New Orleans at the negro Athletic Club, September 17, the knock-out wallpound coming in the fourth round. Although Johnson displayed entirely professional opponent, the defeated had put up a hard-fought battle until the finish, and on several occasions made the New York himself. The boys are lightweight. MURPHY O. ST. LOUIS TRIMS JACKIE MCEE KANSAS QUXY MCEE Earl Murphy, the clever St. Louis light-weight, was too clever and fast to win. He played Kansas City last Thursday night. Murphy says he done everything but knock him out. The referee allowed him to do the trailing. He wants to do to stay the run rounds. Murphy he had Moore groggy several times and Moore would catch him and hold till he broke us and the only chance I had to win was by a knockout for the referee and Jackie Moore surely must room to win. He made it to Kansas City fans and an offered another bout with Moore or George Lamb. I'll box any men who can make 15 shots to box Leo Johnson, the light-weight champion of the world. I don't see how Snake can claim the champion when Patterson makes a monkey out of him. EARL MURPHY WOULD LIKE TO MEET THE GOOD ONES Sporting Editor Freeman; Dear Sir—I was matched to box Battling Ball, September 3 in the semifinal, I also Johnson-Mexican Kix bought Sam Dickson, the match-maker, didn't keep his work so I didn't box. I was in fine shape for the bout as I had been working daily with Bobby Burn's of Dallas, Texas, for I knew that I was to box a hard hitter and a clever boy, and it paid me to be in shape. Ball has not been in the game long, but he is coming fast and he also has met some pretty good ones since he has been in. I myself have met some of the best boys and held my own with them. I have boxed boys like Louie Young, Leo Patterson, Mexican Kid, Jackie Moore, Kid Hamilton, Tommy Hollands, Egghead Patty, Kid Sweet, Birdie Davis, Jack Thomas and lots of others. I would like to meet Kid Jones, Jack Russell, Rattlesnake Kid, Young Guns, made 133 ring side. Matchmakers can get me at 1226 Pine Street, St. Louis, Mo. EARL MURPHY. CLEVER LIGHTTWIGHT How the Game is Killed at St Louis, Mo. Sporting Editor The Freeman: Spencer, editor of the Freeman: "Here is the promoter kill the fighting game by advertising something that they know that not going to Dice off. That was the reason I came to Earl Murphy. He is the matchmaker and also referee of the colored bout that is pulled off at me and Earl Murphy together and knew that he was not going to pay us what he had promised. He thought I light Murphy for an amount just to keep the game going. He already had a cheaper bout to put on, that is if we didn't show. He had a better deal than we never had to, for we had just been taking his work for what he had promised us, but believe me, they will have to pay for it. The night of the fight he came to my dressing room and says: "Ball, L can only pay you but one half-of what I am going to do." Johnson and the Mexican Kid so much that I am not able to pay you all the amount," so I walked over to Murphy's room and asked him to do. Murphy said he would not box for that, so the bout was called off. I was in some fine shape for that one, a man sure earns every cent of his money when he goes in the ring with Murphy. Sam was just using our money to buy the dressing room, knew that Murphy is a good drawing card around St. Louis. I was sorry the bout was called on for.

Yours for clean sport, STILL TALKING ABOUT THE LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Sporting Editor of The Freeman: I stop to think how many boys are claiming the lightweight title: Leo Johnson, Little Arthur Stigall, Young Joe Gans, Little Andrew Russell, a score of others. I think it is time a promoter should put on a pugilistic carnival and bring these light weights and crown some ones as recognized champion of the world. It seems that the title has been landing around looking for an owner since the defeat of Jake. I think it would make boxing far more popular for the colored race to the recognized champions. Some are chained. Why not crown them as champ? I would bring boxing on a higher plane, especially as I am going to start a move to try and bring these boys together. It would mean many more dollars for the more dollars added to the boxers bank roll. I am going to hang up a belt or trophy for the winner of each event. DIRECTUM I SMASHES WORLD'S PACING RECORD Champion Stallion Goes Miles in 1:56:34 - Peter Scott Wins Again. BRACUSE, N, N—Pacing the most sensational mile ever seen on a harness track, the champion stallion Directum I was again crowned king of harness training at 18 when he turned the big oval in 1:56%; beating his own record by one and one-quarter, and winning the championship favored the challenger and a crowd estimated at 25,000 people witnessed this and the other sensationally successful race program was replete. Of the repeat race program Pop Geers and Tom Murphy garnered the honors, each winning the track. Directum I started against the track record of 1:59%; held jointly by Audubon and the champions were ideal for the attempt, the track being fast and the weather perfect. He was driven by Tom Murphy, the stable, plotted the runningprometer. The champion was at the quarter mile, the stable, plotted the runningprometer. The mile was the fastest ever paced or trotted without the aid of a windshield in front, a method which is forbidden by the turf conditions. WOLCOTT WAS ONLY SOUTH AMERICAN TO HOLD BOXING TITLE Held the Welterweight Title Against All Challengers From 1901 Until recent years the boxing game has been practically unknown in the United States, and contest in that continent have been pulled off by Englishmen and Irishmen and especially the especially Buenos Ayeres, are strong for following the Parisian styles, however, and the great vogue of the sport has been introduced. Latines of the southern half of the New World to sit up and take notice. It is not impossible, therefore, that South America will produce another world champion. another? Serra. Serra. Serra.

SETTLE FUTURE TITLE DISPUTES Prominent Sport Promoters to Meet in Cleveland for Gaming of Ring-Bout. ALTOONA, Pa.—Arrangements are rapidly forming to call all the big boxing promoters to Cleveland some time later, and to govern the game. It is the purpose to establish regulation weight, and rule whereby a champion is allowed six months. This is a good plan, for as it is now, it is hard to tell who is the real champion among various divisions. The matter of weights has been left more or less to the title holder. There is an instance here in Altoona, Pa.—A player still having the right of title to the colored lightweight championship, having vanquished the best of them. Sigal beat Brad. All three of them are claiming the title with the result that it is not of very much value, and if he beats him the governing body if organized by that time, will no doubt declare him champion.
