W. Thompson.) that accept matter antagonistic to Mr. Bruce or the Board of Education. A method known to political strategy any and every movement looking to a change in the management ground, a that a revision of the system might serve as a dragnet in which some fish not ready for the yin-pung might be caught. A method to control the board's personnel must be pretty sure to mean the elimination of a new one, not in sympathy with the Bruce machine. The status quo is to be preserved and the school officials, as the picking off of a single factor may overturn the entire scheme of operation on the part of the "ring" vs public opinion, taken and all who do not line up with the program will be listed as enemies and the "plank" at a psychological moment. This, is brief, is said to have been post agreed upon at the famous London auction. A split in the N. A. A. C. P. Regarded as Impligent. Will Partisan Politics Be Invoked? Another abuse that is bringing thrill into the melodrama is the rumor that partisan politics is to be invoked to prevent the reformers from bringing like the changes desired by 50 per cent of the people. It is partisan people of the District. It is carried in a tone of confidence that an anarchies are being made an anarchist Congress, with a view of insuring them on the Bruce partisan on a partisan basis. following again the filmsy argument that the closing hours of the last session, to knock out on a point of method, has proposition to change the method of appointing the Board of Education, it is stated that impressions to be created that the plan to make changes in the school system is simply a democratic scheme to colored schools of their official mission to eliminate colored members from the Board of Education, with the final result that alliments of course for the colored schools will be eliminated and the educational opportunities of the race reduced to a negli gible quantity. The argument is to be clinched, so the story goes, that the Republican is from disaster is for the Republicans to insist upon a retention of the present order of things—the perpetuation of the war, then a time when hemoth which "will eat them up, blood raw." The claim is made that the proposal to the District Commissioners will be made by the District Commissioners is for the full purpose of eliminating the three colored members from the Board of Education, and that the District Commissioners is for the high official station by abolishing the assistant superintendency and placing the colored schools wholly under white supervision. The petitioned patent colored Republicans are to be removed and their places, such as are in an illustration a change in the directorship of one of the colored place, are filled by Negro Democratic "heelers," and that the director appointed by this administration is a business man of high standing and whose record is a blemish as an official, or citizen. Minister to Liberia Curtis at State Department. Sudden Passing of Warren G. Fearing. All Washington was shocked last Wednesday to learn that Mr. Warren G. Fearing, a beloved and most useful citizen, had passed away suddenly at his home, 1710 E. 10th Street, with resulted from the second stroke of paralysis on the morning of the 3rd of November, quickly following a first attack on his neck.

Fearing were held at the Plymouth Congregational church, of which Mr. Fearing had been an active member for many years, Alexander C. Garner, and his eulogy touching the life and character of the departed was one of the finest funeralington pulpit. The pastor was assisted by Rev. Sterling N. Brown, of Howard University, pastor emeritus of the University of Washington. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. One of the most notable was an immense wreath, sent by Mr. Warren G. Fearing, in memory of supervising architect of the Treasury Department, with which the deceased had been connected for a lengthy period where he had made a record record as a courteous and obliquely fellowworkman.

West Africa is a region where rises will find a response in your generous sympathy. It is with great pleasure that I recall our meeting here last week. I will thank the success of your work among your people with sincere satisfaction, for I have always been an advocate of your work. I will stand, the uplift of the colored race.

We need, my dear Sir, even the smallest contribution that your beloved followers may appeal to your people.

As you well after seeing the grant of land offered in the recognition of his services in the War of the Revolution, he returned to Poland, not wishing to accept whatever he considered a sublime duty to those in need. Later, after eight years, when he again visited America, he was given a pension as general in the American army. With the back pay during his service, he spent about $15,000.00. Although poor himself, he felt deep compassion for the neglected colored children and with him he helped the first school in America devoted exclusively to the education of the colored you are, you know the story in all its details, but I desire the colored people of America to know that Today the descendants of the man unskilled in the past had a crust of bread, a spoonful of milk for their hungry children.

Church next May might try to get along with the three vacancies caused consternation among the multitude of aspirants for the bench, as well as among those who have three vacancies for the positions to the bench. The argument of the conservatives that the connection can save $3,000 in the next quadrennium, to insure the continuance of the regulation enterprises, both of which are growing at a rapid rate. The time is now for donations to fill the gap in the necessary current expenditures. Now is the timeto push the $3,000,000 endowment fund and the race should give its own voice of self-helpfulness in this connection. The Armory at Cambridge was used for one of the special sessions of the convention, with the Boston meeting, and this was the first time it had ever been secured for any entertainment. The achievement was due in the largest measure to the activities and wide reach of the group. Thomas Harrison, the editor of the Advocate and leading spirit in the local business, was the most almost. The address there of the Good, of Cambridge, and the Hon. Guy R. Hamm were gems; the editor, dignitary and Miss Lillian Luck recited Dunbar in masterly style. The meeting was a triumph. Editor Nick Chiles, of the Topeka Plaindealer, in a philippic, inspired by the annual conference, invigues against the "crack of a bishop's whip," alleging that too much power preaches and that the latter are compelled to sacrifice practically all of their manhood to favor and thus secure appointments that will yield them a living. The Bishop is an autocrat. says Brenner, who has his program, or failure to come up with the required "dollar money," is the delinquent preacher to the woods, where his food and salary are negligible quantities that will give more power to the people. Persistent publicity is the price of success of any movement worth while. The people are slow to notice it, but little of it. A good thing, to be properly appreciated, must be kept before the public. It is with this idea in mind that the letter to the Savannah (Ga.) Tribute, bearing upon the doings and plans of the Negro business, goes to good people of Savannah have faith in the ability of their Business League to work wonders, because they see its concrete achievements committed in their work. They seek in paper they have learned to trust. The Lindsey plan ought to be felt in the Business League, and one connected with the Business League in each town should be detailed to report its doings. The immediate locality will be inspired and the country at large will have a larger respect for the town through a photographic reproduction of its progress. The Amsterdam News, discussing "The Woman and the Public Man", puttyfully a woman of broad intelligence of keen perception, of high moral convictions, and of inherent discretion, and of inherent discretion to be the wife of a business or professional man. It reaches this conclusion after viewing the multiple obligations of the public man with every phase of life day by day, and noting the diplomatic dealing with men and things—especially must a woman be broadminded when the business of her husband is not her business, influential relations with other women. Sagely, the Amsterdam News closes its editor's journal, obtains obscenely "Contact with women is the daily bread of the business or professional man. It is the living of his wife, the woman knows and accepts this as a fact and does not allow petty jealousies to enter her life, that she supplices to her trust in themselves." on these things, wives of public men!

Of course, the water has very largely disappeared to parts unseen away the overflow as fast as it can. While many are complaining of hard times caused by the European war, hard times caused by the war in substantial homes and making the way possible for future living within their own homes. It is a good idea to keep it to try to forget about the European war. A young man, Robert Williams, well connected, is in the county jail here and has been employed less act of his recently. Williams had been employed with others recovering the M. E. church. For some reason he had returned Saturday at moon and was told by the church back Saturday for his pay. When he returned Saturday morning about 8 p.m., the contractor was not prepared at the time to settle with him and so told Williams. Quick as it could be done and a second shot entered the back through the dome and then shot Mathis. first just below the heart then Mathis turned and started to run and a second shot entered the back through the dome and then Mathis wasken to the hospital and died Monday.

Already Mr. Colyer has done a grand work for the Odd Fellows in Florida through his recommendations. Mrs. Ellen McClain Williams, a woman of about 65 years, died suddenly last Monday morning.

We want the hotel and professional men to see us and let us know just what they want Freeman readers to know about them. WHAT WE REALLY NEED. Special to The Freeman. It appears to me that the Nego, as a race, should awake and take notice of the real cause of Nego backwardness. The cause has long since been charged to the shortage of Nego leadership. To this I object. The real cause of our slow progress in business as it is come to mind is thinking men of the country, lies in the failure of the Nego to co-operate. As soon as the Nego begins to form corporate business, and as far as the ferent Nego enterprises, and as soon as the other races see in the Negro-ral commercial competition, then, and as soon as the other races come in, guards to our slow progress in business and segregation. Why can't a capital instead of trying to use $500 in business and segregation have two or three other men's $500 and begin business with a substantial capital instead of trying to use $500 in business and segregation have $1,500 and $2,000 capital in the same business. His chances are best in the beginning. He has had hundreds to learn where you have only had tens. Just think of the middleman's capital, colored people and then think how great would be the help to the race as a whole if this same money was given to the middleman. What we need is universal co-op-a tion among the Negro. Dr. Palmer's Skin Whitener The original and genuine made only by JACOBS' PHARMACY, Atlanta, Ga. Whitens Dark and Sallow Skin.

The great Exposition Number of The Freeman issues from the press December 25, 1915. Those colored advertisers got a pretty good raking over. Everybody to their own notion, said the old lady as she kissed the cow. At this time Dr. Booker T. Washington is reported to be seriously ill from a nervous breakdown. He is in a local hospital in New York. We are pleased to know that his illness is not dangerous, according to his physician. The Exposition Number of The Freeman will be historical, featuring the origin, progress and present-day status of our leading institutions and concerns. Nothing like it has been attempted in the history of the race and reasonable enough since there has been no occasion. It will be a thing of reference until another epocalyptic which will then measure our further progress. Structures of lodge temples, of churches, of Y. M. C. A.'s of manufacturing or those of theaters and so forth, will arose from a pictorial panorama, not to speak of distinguished individuals of all professions whose likenesses will appear. The Exposition Number will issued December 25. Charleston, the A. B. C.'s baseball player, who struck the white umbrella during the game between that team and a bunch of white professional players at Federal park, Indianapolis, a few weeks ago, has become exceedingly sorry. He has written a letter to that effect which appears elsewhere in this issue. An apology was due from Mr. Charleston, a fact which finally dawned on him. He has done the very graceful thing in acknowledging his error, and which leaves him no less a man. The bravest are the tenderest. Considerable harm has been done because of the happening, and which a string of apologies from here to Cuba could never altogether righten. However, he has helped some, and he has set himself right individually and with his team and race. The "Birth of a Nation" agitation in Boston was carried to the polls in the recent election, but with doubtful results. Calvin Coolidge, who cast the deciding vote as president of the Massachusetts senate against the production, received the entire Negro vote for lieutenant governor and was elected. On the other hand, Martin Hayes, who stood for the pictures, leading the fight in the senate for their production, was elected to that body, notwithstanding his district was made up largely of Negroes. The Guardian, however, holds that satisfaction comes from the fact that Mayor James M. Curley was "repudiated by electorate, colored aiding." "The mayor," says the Guardian, "shamefully betrayed the colored race in permitting 'Birth of a Nation' to be shown in Boston." The question is perplexing, one which may require time for adjustment. If the pictures are inflammatory and abusive, time will knock them out if we are to rely on right in the end prevailing over wrong. Representative Bailey speaks of militarism as a sort of despotism, when it merely means ample preparation to hold one's own against the covetous neighbor. The old world seems to be unduly manacled in irons, but perhaps no more than the necessity demands. Surely those countries are not "funning" about such a serious business. The system of increased defense for the country as advanced by President Wilson is entirely in keeping with the size, importance of our country, and the possible danger. If there were great danger the country would need as great an army as any of the great countries of Europe. The moderate program extending over five years with its grading process becomes our lesser chances of danger. In the end the first possition army of a few hundred thousand men, as against the armies of millions known to similar sized European countries. The real danger of a great army is that it might become a huge political machine, dominating all public life. With this danger eliminated an army in keeping with the size, consequence and possible danger of the country is right in view of the fight feeling still in the world. GETTING THE RIGHT RELATION A colored girl of Brainard, Minn., who had been forced to sit apart from the white members while attending religious services in a church of that city, carried the case to court. The judge in his ruling said: "No legislative body ever has specifically included churches or religious societies in the so-called civil rights act. For courts to undertake to dictate how they shall conduct their affairs would meet with just resentment and would be of doubtful legality on constitutional grounds." The reflection here is not on the judge but on the religious body. Churches are voluntary institutions in a most special sense, just as social societies may be said to be. There is no such thing as lawfully compelling them to do what they do not wish to do. We can see no reason why the judge should have doubts concerning the legality of a ruling that would force a church or any purely social voluntary organization to do what they did not care to do. If the courts could safeguard us in our rights in common, many of which are now denied, it would be the entering wedge to all other places. Really, we have no right to expect more of church and similar organizations than we do of other concerns. It would be hypocrisy if we were extended the glad hand at the church door in the name of religion, if in all other phases of life we are subjected to the stony stare. The church exhibits more virtue in being honest than in being deceptive, even if it is not in the receptive mood concerning our race. The reflection is not on that particular body; it is not different to many other religious bodies. And as we see it, the less we have to say about such matters the better it will be for us. White church members know very well what is thought of religious bodies, as it concerns their duties to the world. They know all about the "come filthy" theory, but as they do not find themselves in that receptive attitude—in their hearts—they would be grossly wrong to merely assume that attitude. This from the viewpoint of religion. As it concerns the citizenship, hypocrisy answers here as it does elsewhere. And we need not think we are not in the mind of the thing practically; it is all through life. Only the rare individual gets carte blanche at every turn. The mother-in-law is an example of a person non-grata, not to speak of every other person at some angle of their lives. Many persons show us, the colored people, that we are not expected. According to some authority, the deed is not more in the commission than in the heart. This again, from the viewpoint of the religious, is a very serious thought. From the viewpoint of citizenship we are not concerned with what the heart has to say provided it does not rule the action. The great Tolstoi opens up his "Kreutzer Sonata" after this manner: He that hath adultery in his heart hath committed adultery already. Perhaps Solomon said the same thing in a different way. It is a very serious thought; not because of the particular case, but because of all sinful thoughts. If one covets he has stolen, according to the preachment. If he wishes on behalf he has committed it. And if he accepts one openly and shuts him out in heart it is not in compliance with the notions of religion—at least Christianity—the individual has been shut out. But, as we said before, the religious question is a good one to let alone. Religion is not going to change the people's social views whatever we may wish or think. There are denominations of religion that are more democratic than others, at least in the outer aspect, but we dare say that the "members" of any religion will not view the whole world as a social community on account of their religion. It has not proven so effacious as that, and perhaps it was not thus intended, in spite of what we think of the democracy of Jesus Christ. Not that we arraign it, but that it may not have been meant to be as we think the letter readeth. If He were here today what would He advise? GETTING THE RIGHT VIEW It is all right for us, our race as well as others, to have stand-out views on the great public questions that come before us from time to time. There are some questions on which we can, almost at once, practically agree as a race. There are other questions that necessarily must be threshed out if we wish to arrive ment. Take the "Birth of a Nation" at the best understanding or judge picture business for instance. There is no doubt but what it is having an impact on our curry and also on the great nation in that the production contributes to national unrest. We all agree that the production, if not studiously designed to increase race friction between the white and the colored people, does the work just the same. Many of us think the pictures were designed with aforethought to a given end, and not that they were designed to be a picture of ill feeling. All do not agree to this because there is such a thing as charity in the world, the essence of which is summed up in the words, "giving one the benefit of the doubt." Some of us are unwilling to believe any man, or set of men, would make it his, or their mission to deliberately plan to undo a whole race or impede its progress because of some offense committed by one, or even many. This means that the pictures may have not been the result of a studious attempt to belittle the race. There is doubt; but can the benefit be given in the instance? Have the producers of the pictures, provided they had no method in it, discovered that they are adding to the present race friction by reproducing past deplorable conditions of the race and incidental happenings which are nothing like the rule? It may be that the picture producers see nothing mean in their production—simply catering to the curiosity of the people, coining it into dollars. Perhaps they hold that, as long as they do not slander, presenting a true condition, whether of past or present, or of good or evil repute, they are within their rights. They may hold that no long as there are no immediate bad effects—no immediate out breaks—other are "within the law." All of these propositions are debatable. There is no room for debating the question of the quiet hurtful influence of such exhibitions. It is considered presumptuous to pose as the court of last resort when discussing public questions. The inflexible, cocksure man is not admired even when in the right. The tendency to give the opinions of others a hearing regardless of what we think is the ethics of debate. Yet there must be such a thing as final judgment, even in the affairs of men outside of the court rooms. The consensus of the best thought must be the greater determining force in fashioning right public views. The best thought is not intuition, or innate consciousness, but the result of reduction of premises, which lead naturally to the thing sought. At first blush, without the knowledge of the recent Haitian insurrections and revolutions, we see the little island, which is as independent as our own country, imposed on by our big great, overhearing government. The feeling is about the same as the average individual takes on when he sees a very large, brute-look THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ing individual pummeling a person very much less in size. We know nothing of what led up to the quarrel. We see the fight only. Haift is a mite of a country. The United States is a great big power. There is no thought of a contest that could be in any way equal. The sympathy from the audience cast with Haift. But on investigation, when reason appears at the bar, we uncover and bow ourselves out of court. Evidence is coming from the island which endeavors to show how the Haitians have been mistreated since our soldiers have taken possession. Some of these charges are headlined in our papers as if Haiti were all virtue and our own country were all vice, when really it is nearly the other way. What Haiti has done is an open book. Not one time, alone, has it done the extraordinary thing of turning L'Ouverture's swords against one another, but many times, and within a few years. For years none of the presidents have died in bed. The country had become unstable, offering no security to friend or foe. Yet we find some among us who count all of this as nothing when compared to the forceful seizure of the country because it is labeled an independent republic. In a manner Haiti stood for us—the Négroes of the United States. It was the brightest example of a real Negro government. It was a supposed demonstration of what we would all be if left alone to direct our own affairs. Was it a libel or the truth? It does not matter. It was the representative of our best possibilities at self-government. Are we proud of its record? We cannot see where there is a chance to fall out with the administration at Washington for blotting out the inquitous procedure of the island. It was clearly up to some country to put a quietus on the multious demands to no one jeopardizing our own existence as a free and independent people, but threatened to entangle the western hemisphere. Thus for three good and sufficient reasons Haiti bad to be censured. We cannot see where there is room for an honest difference of opinion by those who have some knowledge of what is going on, and of the recent past. The final outcome of the interference, only, is to be feared. But they may be less so, because God-send. Will we return Haiti to the Haitians free and independent as it was when we stepped in? is the question. TIM E. OWSLEY, COMEDIAN. One of the very best comedians of our race is Tim E. Owsley, of the Crown Garden Theater, Indianapolis, Owsley's lease on the Crown Garden will not run much longer, so he has concluded to go back to his first love, teaming it as he did with great success several years ago. Before he took to vaudeville he was a success as a minstrel man. His time was mostly in the West and South, consequently he did not become so well known in the central and eastern states. In the West and South he became very popular, as he shows by a long string of testimonials which he has gotten together for his new venture. Tim thinks that the managers hold him as a joke because they, most of them, know him only as a proprietor. They are inclined to turn down his solicitation for work on that account—thinking Owsley will bunco them. They are greatly mistaken. Home is the best test of what you are. Several times he has gone on the bill alone and as a teammate, never failing to be as good as anything on his bills. He has signed up with Sydney Kirkpatrick as a partner to do team work. Their acts have been pulled off at the Crown and with great success. Managers need not be uneasy about their drawings qualities. They have got that the artist looking—or—laughable, entertaining acts, full of wit that can only come from good common sense. BILLY LEWIS. PENSACOLA, FLA. (By Walker W.

A. team is composed for the most part of the years of play at Hampstead Hampstead others of our colored universities. Lack of team work, due to the many systems of play under evident at the start of the game, and in that time Somerville scored two touchdowns by as many as Moore to Carson, after that, New York found themselves and never a first down. Did Somerville make again. Did they make again, particularly for ten to thirty yards gain, and Watkins always bored through for the necessary first down distance. Did they make again, particularly for ten to thirty yards gain, and Watkins always bored through for the necessary first down distance. Did they make again, particularly for forty-five yards that resulted immediately in two touchdowns and the defensive work of Forbes was The passing of Moore to Newt Carson featured Somerville's play on the playing of Gantt, Ricks and Layton being especially good. Gardner's generality minded one of Kid Collins, and the work of Perkins, Gunn, Watkins and Forbes has seldom been excelled and would gladden the heart of any Lincoln coach. Clean playing marked the contest, and the remarkable condition of the men in the team was removed for physical disability. The first time of the season a very fair-sized crowd greeted the players. It is earnestly hoped that the knights and their "faire ladies" hold on this season to make them the officials. A games the social events that they should be and to lend them the respect they fight for, the officials, who are trying to provide healthy means of recreation for some of the young men of the team, are in the institutions of our city, to make those institutions full of life and to provide them with the training in New York C.

HITE 'Nashville Fire Department' ROMAN CHEMICAL CO., Nashville, Tenn. : Dear Sirs, Having taken your medicine with such care, I am now ready to take care of you on me. Several years ago my physician treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that I had a severe case of medicine, with no previous experience. I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the concurrence of opinion was obtained. I was told that I would be forced to hold a consultation and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably life of life, when a cure was effected by the greenish mass from my system including a number of medicines. I am now able to advise, and am now up and able to perform my duties. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, slurgh on rising in the morning, and casseron my stomach, and vomiting. I write this hounding it may reach some person who is furious with the way the fire department is handling the McMahon Fire Department, and will always re- commend that the fire department be more careful.

To others she may not be fair; She boasts no cast nor talents rare. Her hair suggests no wealth untold. No lines of Venus mark her form; Nor priceless jewels her hands adorn. Nor see the love-light in her eye. Nor see the love-light in her eye. 1 To me she's fairest of the fair; Nor gold, nor gems are half so rare. As the love that we think we face, And makes it beam with heavenly grace. Her form, by childbirth, has been mature, by honesty; toll her hands are hard. Her eyes reflect a soul made pure.

Last season we had occasion to remembrance Tollier, Tollier, who was at that time playing Atlanta, Ga., with a company of which Tollier was the head, for the illegal use of the tilt Set. Set the tilt, that he had appropriated the title, and that he did not need to resort to the theft of a title to gain popularity and money, was published in The Free- Since that time I have received circulars and bills with this heading: "The Greatest Colored Show on Earth." Since the beginning of our Southern tour Tolliver has many his business ahead of the real and only Smart Set company. Not satisfied with filching a title and traveling on the merits of an ahead of the real and only Smart Set company followed the No. 2. If this be true, Mr. Tolliver is not only a plagiarist but a perjurer, and without that is sometimes accredited to thieves. The Smart Set company is the oldest established company of computer players and work with the distracting of being the greatest of all colored shows, so Mr. Tolliver's canvass aggression done us little injury. I am personally acquainted with many of the performers employed by Mr. Tolliver and I am not acquainted with the work. They are in no wise responsible for Mr. Tolliver's latrocino and this knowledge has led me to restrain my performance by designing, presenting, and persuading their manager. At present Mr. Tolliver's company is playing design and designing the Smart Set company and it is great show, "Geo Washington Bullion Abroad." The colored people of Winston-Salem, N. C. packed the Elks Opera tour the Smart Set about Winston-Salem is the largest tobacco market in the world, R. J. Reynolds is the owner of the beautiful, beautiful plants. It is worth more than $30,000,000 and employs nearly 30,000 colored men and women in his establishment. A solid train of more than 60 cars loaded with Prince Albert smoking tobacco is loaded by colored men. In fact, all the principal work of the factories is done by colored men and women. Only a few white men are employed in the offices. The makers of the famous "Picnic Twist" tobacco receive $4.20 per day. The smallest wage paid is to the cleaning staff. Mr. Reynolds has proven himself a seal friend of the colored people. He was made it possible for them to do whatever they wanted from the property on Fourth street, east of the square. Mr. Reynolds opposed the segregation law that would have forced them to walk the same road. There are 21 colored churches in Winston-Salem and Mr. Reynolds gives them each $100 yearly.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—An unusually strong bill is on at the New Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Ford and Ford; Kinsley and Kinsley and George Lewis are showing to crowded house every night.

O'BRIEN'S MINSTRELS No. 1. We are still in the good old state of North Carolina, and as usual business we had the pleasure of playing day and night with the John Sparks Circus, and had a nice time. We spent the afternoon at the theater but we wanted to want the bunch for making it pleasant for us in every way. Prof. A. A. Wright, we had a wonderful show, the George Show, found pleasure in looking after Prof. George W. Ayers, leader of our band and orchestra, and he saw that every performance that was to be seen. Honest Mose McQuity spent the best part of the day at his Prost. Miller, Jim Green R. J. Anderson and other old friends. Mr. Charles Sparks met the bunch at the theater and all welcome to the best reserve seats, where we were pleased by seeing a real good show. We writer wishes to say that the big band is fine and under the direction of Prof. Jack Phillips played some very nice selections in the big to which we Mr. Horace Harrison sends regards to Dan Jullik Perry, our third band member, to hurry Jim and Ada Green, Ike and Lucie Young, the Matlocks, Lonnie and John, the Matlocks, never before had they heard a more polished band than the one with John and Ada Green, Ed. Washington, our young orchestra cornetist, is improving daily, while Eddie Alford is making good as leader of the rube he has been working with. Sam Jones is opening the first part, and believe me he sets a hot pace for Jim Green, the human top, is over making good with the song.

Culprit: "Do you, your honor." Juulit: "Does, yes. You know (O-h-h-h)) it is against the law to fight?" Culprit: Yes, your honor. Jailtime is 10 years (unusually severe) "pain" (Ohh! houch!) 10 months, or 10 years. If it had been a clear day the Judge would have said 10 days or probably let the offender off with a promise of good behavior. Lester McDaniels is responsible for the following stories. Those of you who know Mr. Daniels can judge of the Bert Williams, with the Frogs, played Richmond, Va. After the night performance Mr. Williams was standing on Broad street, in company wielding a knife and skidding at an attractive haberdasher's display. One of the company told a funny joke and Mr. Williams chuckled, in response to his inphonation in his throat. He expectorated quickly, but did not put enough force behind the expectation to make it happen. Mr. Williams was one of the ubiquitous minions of the law nabbed Mr. Williams. He was carried to the Police Court and summoned to appear at theutchfield the next morning. Next morning, Judge: "What is your name?" Williams: "Williams, your honor." Judge: "Williams, the attorney Williams, or Williams what?" Williams: "Bert Williams, your honor." Judge: "Umph! Humph! and where are you from, Bert Williams?" Judge: "Oh, yes! Your Williams, the funny man! Are you funny?" the funny man! Are you funny?" Williams: "Some people think you, and I, are the head of people, who think otherwise." Judge: "Ump! Hump! Hump! Well, Williams, did you think it funny to come to our night show and was on my home way?" Judge: "And thought you would give a matinee by splitting on our sidewalks, little performance will cost you just $50." Williams: "All right, your honor (fishing in vest pockets) I happen to have that little amount in my vest pockets." Judge: "All right, Bert Williams. Fish in your pants pockets and see if you can find ten days." Judge: "Didn't take well to William's droll talk for it took considerable 'wire pulling' to lift the latter sentence." While playing the Dixie theater, Mr. McDaniels had an altercation with one of the men, Mr. McDaniels became so angered that he shapped the girl, not too lightly, and then he promised to appear before Judge Critchfield. Judge: You are here accused of assault and battery. Gull or not guilty? "There are extenuating circumstances." Judge: "State your case." Thereweth Mac made a plea for emency that would have brought tears to the eyes of the Sphinx. The Judge sat down and was not contentless. When Mac had finished, he said: Judge: "McDaniels, you talk well, but I want to ask you how you expect my wife to get her housecleaning to get their hair dressed; how do you expect me to get my meals cooked and my washing done If I allow you big eyes, so they can't see how to do their work. McDaniels, where are you framed?" Mac: "Greenville, S. C., and the honorable Governor Ansel, of South Carolina, is my godfather." Mac considered this a master stroke. Mac: So Governor Ansel is your godfather. Mac: "Yes, your honor." Judge: "Well, McDaniels, write your godfather a letter and tell him to send you." Mac: "Your honor, I haven't got the money with me." Judge: "Take him away until he can hear from his godfather." can deal from his gourmand. And they led him, not gently, away.

Alex. Marks 654 Broadway. New York City IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. BY HAROLD C. MCGATH. PROBABLE SHIFTS IN THE BIG wants to fight a man if they won't agree to his time. He referees all his LEAGUES. There will probably be several shifts in ownership in the two big leagues before another team comes up for a season. See baseball peace. Just before R. B. Ward died it was reported that he and Harry Sinclair were to buy the Giants from the Rangers. They may have been trying to purchase the Giants from the Brush estate and some other operators may have been trying to buy the Giants won't be sold. Here are some reasons—good ones; reasoned good ones; season and many clubs that made fair showings lost money. Connie Mack claims to have lost $100,000 in his Athletics, and his shrewdness has his Athletics, and his giants made $100,000 and finished last. The pay roll of that of any other club in either league, and we travel in better style and put it on the team. We cleared $100,000. Remember that and paste it in your hat. McGraw's contract calls for a salary of $300,000 annually, but some of the players won't be so big next year, as is the case with all of this the Giants cleared more than did the Philadelphia club that won the championship of the league in the rakeoff from baseball series. More changes are likely to occur in the American League, and books like *The American League* and other Boston son, since he flutters around over the deals for teams in his league like a beno over his chicken change hands, understand that Mr. Somers, who was largely responsible for the financing of the league, broke loose from its moorings, has found some rough travelling. He has not been helped by his teammates and he has been struggling along with a weak team. He owns much real estate in the neighborhood of Cleveland, he would like to get rid of his club if he can make terms. Both Cleveland baseball and Cleveland club has been a great luxury for some time. Joseph team in paid $600,000 for the Joseph team when he bought it, and now he has won the world championship made this last season. He lost made $20,000 in 1914. James Callahan, the former manager of the White Sox, co-owner of the team, president. Lannin is willing to listen, so it looks as if Joe would have a partner next season. Callahan, man, having been at all ends of the game, Mr. Lannin would like to decide little more time to his hotel It now looks as if Connie Mack might have some new partners next year. He is now announced that he is going to stick with the club until it has won another trophy, and he is now saw where a Philadelphia fan has announced that he will not shave until the Athletes are again the champions of the world. He has an easier job than he used to, and he uses a razor or give the barber any of his dough to cut his whiskers until he can use them. Mack has predicted that his club will be a pennant contender again 1917, and take the other's championship in 1918. The other owners are not planning to help Connie out with players. It would be like carrying coals to the known New York "Connie Mack is one of those fellows," marked another American League club owner to me not long after he left the St. Louis club without a nickel, and I started with a million dollars, would blow into the town in a high hat and frock coat to play the game, broke the hook if we made the trip together, he made it separately, he would show up with money anyway. If I were to pick a team of the star players from all the teams, he would grab off the continent with a club that he grabbed off the lots the day before the first game, he would have a team that beat me all-star outfit before we hit him. That is what they think of Comie in the American League. They don't that Wallingford has anything on him—ladyty Mathewson, in Indianapolis News. THREE 'GOOD' ONES TO BE PULLED OFF IN NEW ORLEANS -WILLARD WILL MIX UP FOR $32,500. New Orleans will see three championship fights this winter. November he will face New York, whom he claims for the bantamweight title, having been substituted for Kid Herman, but could not agree with promoters Bure and Bure. The end of the proposed twenty-round fight. Joe Mandot, of New Orleans, and Bure, of New York, will meet during the middle of January if Harry Pollock sticks to his agreeance by wire, in which he asked $220,000 for his tickets from New York and expenses. Tortorich and Burns granted all his wishes and wired last night to close the fight on Friday. Day, Jess Willard, heavyweight champion, who has gone to Los Angeles, will face Bure by the local promoters before December 18 during Mardi Gras week, for the heavyweight title. Willard will get KID HOY IN TITLE BOUTS. wants to fight a man if they won't agree to his time. He referees all his games, and he will be in C in St. Louis, Mo. So Mr. Dixon and I had a quarrel in his house and he had to be held by his staff of boxers. He left that to his judgment, as I usually always have a cool head, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I did not box Louis people, but I did Louis people I can do it if I want to. He can never use me any more in no kind of a bout, nor can he knock my nose, nor can he knock my nose, and I am sure I've pleased many. I've boxed nearly everywhere, always under my own name, either as a boxer or a boxer. A. B. C.'S WIN. HAVANA, Cuba, Nov. 8.—The Indianapolis A. B.

Ten branches of sport, instead of calisthenics only, will engross the attention of Columbia university students taking physical education this term. The wrestlers will train in kettleball, track handball, swimming and life saving, boxing and gymnastics will quit training. This is in line with the general policy of the New York university and of other leading American institutions. The new methods are calculated to improve the student body and the individual teams. Eighty-eight clubs will participate in the third annual soccer series for the United States Football Association, the governing council of the game in this country. Rounds will be played each week, between the first and the final April, when the final will be staged. The competition drew 25 teams from the Massachusetts and 19 from the New Jersey and Pennsylvania, 6 each from eastern Pennsylvania, 6 each from New York, 6 each from Chicago and Detroit districts, 5 from the Cleveland district and 3 each from the northwestern New York and Connecticut districts. Work has been started on the new athletic track at Weequahic park, just north of the University campus. The national track and field championships will be contested next summer. When completed the field will be one of the four stadiums in the city, and will have a quarter-mile path that will have no superior, national track and field championships, track and every point of the quarter-mile track will be within view of the spectators. A steel grand stand will be placed in the right straightway, three jumping pits, for the running high, running broad and hop, step and jump events, and special events.

C.) ROBINSON'S FAMOUS SHOW NEWS-COACH WCRECKED. Our show has been running smoothly without anything to mar our pleasure until last Saturday night in Dublin, Ga., and retired for the night. Our coaches had been cut in for the day and in making up the team, we stock cars and a caboose on the main line and opened the switch to let us out to couple up. They were about one-half or three times better than they hit our coaches so hard that they failed to couple, and sent our coach and thirty others down the track at an awful speed. We did not try to stop them as we thought that we were pulling out. Our coach hit the stock cars and was taken to the windows and lucky to say, none were killed, only a few hurt, myself more serious than the disliked and I was carried to the hospital, but came back to the show very soon. No one else of my band was hurt, and we had their best regards to the Freeman and all performers in and out of the profession. I am your colleague ENGINEER CLARK. J. C.
