My health was quickly restored and I became and am a respectable man, enjoying every day of life. I was very much more than I had before, and naturally lost all desire for drink. I took less and less. I began to prefer tea, coffee, buttermilk and other non-alcoholic liquids; the craving for liquor and alcohol is the same as the other alcohol. I received from other ailments which was well and I recovered from other ailments which undoubtedly were due to my indulgence in strong drink.

Our fellow-townmen, white and colored, gave proof of their genuine devotion, and we were particularly true of the caper who took space with us, thus assuring their earnestness, because men are not given to paying for and praising a thing that they do not like. Mr. H. L. Sanders, the well-known merchant and manufacturer, said that he was glad to have been in the number, and he congratulate you, he said; "you are ahead of the times." This is but one of the many expressions, all of which bore similar earmarks of earnest, honest expressions.

According to Prof. Kelly Miller, 334 Washingtonians are enrolled at Howard University, or about one-third the total enrollment of students. Some come from the East half from the Southern states, and the remainder come from other sections of the country and from the islands of the sea.

Prof. Kelly Miller has been delivering a series of excellent speeches and presentations to his Washington. They have added materially to his already enviable reputation as a broad visioned thinker and Miller is on record as being opposed to the "hyphenated American," and is also on record as being opposed to the term "Afro-American." Plain, unvarnished, unhyphenated "American" is good enough for him, and sufficient incentive to serve all ordinary purposes. Mrs. A. Yerby, wife of Prof. W. J. Yerby, United States Consul to Sierra Leone, West Africa, is in the city, the coast of Mr. J. Macias, of Elite Cottage, near Howard University, Mrs. Yerby is a brilliant and beautiful woman, and is accomplished in literature and the languages. She will remain here for several weeks, and is expecting to be joined by her husband shortly, who is coming home on a visit to the State Department. Mrs. Yerby has addressed a number of well-pleased audiences since her advent here. The Board of Education has appealed from the decision of Justice Gould, who in the District Court, held that Rule 9.12 wield automatically dismissal for male teachers upon marriage, was unconstitutional, unreasonable and void. The case now goes to the District Court of Appeals. The argument of Justice Gould is regarded as so sound and the citation of "errors" by the board to be so trivial, that an affirmation of Justice Gould's opinion is expected by the board to give the subject unbiased thought. The ruling is that a woman is entitled to follow living as a teacher, though she marries, as long as she do so, and that the board should not give the right to retain a competent teacher after marriage, if such retention is deemed best for the schools. The Freeman in Memphis, Tenn., at the Globe Stand News, 330 Beale Ave. M. B. JAMES E. WATSON Republican Candidate For United States Senator JAMES E. WATSON Republican candidate For United States Senator WILL ASK FOR NOMINATION FOR LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR. Mr. Edgar D. Bush will ask for the Republican nomination for lieutenant- governor next year. While many throughout the district had hoped that he would again lead the fight as the congressional nominee, he has deter- mined to forgive that and respond the earnest solicitation of friends throughout the state to go before the Republican state convention for lie- uttenant governor. Mr. Bush is a native son of Wash- ington county whom the Republicans of this county urge and measure urging for this important office because of his eminent qualifications. He graduated from Indiana University in the class of '95 and taught EDGAR D. BUSH school in Madison county. Although an active farmer, and a successful one in Howard township, he has been associated with business interests in Indianapolis. Mr. Bush is a Republican with democratic ancestors. He believes that the people of his own town served through the policies of the Republican party. His foremost desire is for the success of that party in 1916, even his own personal interests and ambitions. However, if the people of Indiana should name him as their candidate for lieutenant-governor they will have more to the spirit and activity of the campaign than he. He was the party candidate for congress last year, and his energy to revitalize the party into a good working organization. T. CLAIRDON Veedersburg, Fountain Co., Ind.

President Wilson is busy showing his constituents a deep front. The country is not Jew or Gentile; so all right Mr. Brandie if you are the proper brand—you'll do, even if a little off color as it concerns precedent. The Freeman appreciated the invitation to attend the dedication exercises of the Young Men's Christian Association of Cincinnati, Ninth Street Branch Building. Continuous program from January 31st to February 6th. Among those appearing on program: Dr. Jesse E. Moreland, Rabbi Louis Grossman, Charles A. Cottrell, Henry Allen Boyd, Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, and Dr. W. T. Nelson. Sand bag heroism during these floods days reads like the story of the break in the Holland dyke of years ago. It was a little child; it was nearly dead when found holding back the sea with its little hand. It may have been merely poetry, but it was not beyond the pale of reason. We have seen the replicas in the last few days when a few sand bags well placed "laughed at disaster." It looks as if the floods, like the poor, are ever to be with us, so it is up to the community to go into the dyke building in a good way. "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure." The death of Rev. Dr. Theobald Smythe, of the A. M. E. church, January 25, in the city of Chicago, was one of the regrettable occurrences of last week. He was well known in Indianapolis, having been pastor of Bethleh church for three years previous to his appointment in Chicago. During his pastorate here he became known for his fine ministerial qualities. Dr Smythe was what we sometimes call a foreigner, having been born in Jamacia, West Indies. He brought with him sterling qualities, which proved helpful in his career as a man and preacher. Like so many of the men of the individual regardless of race. He was pronounced in his views and had the ability to back them up. He was of splendid presence and personality, a combination which at once served notice as to the manner of man he was. Dr. Smythe was what might be called an easily able man. Madame C. J. Walker is really preparing to leave Indianapolis, her present home and where she has resided for the past ten years. The announcement a few weeks ago that she was going was disturbing to her many friends and acquaintances. Some were not willing to believe that she would go, that she would be persuaded not to go. Persuasion was tried, but so far the madame has been firm. We are among those who hoped she would change her mind. But she has large interests elsewhere, in New York city, her future home; so the plea for her to stay has been unavailing. And as she is packing and shipping her household Indianapolis may as well be prepared to say good-by to this real "lady bountiful" of her race. She will be missed—her many charitable deeds and Kindness—her kindly speech and manners. New York will be richer by her presence; not merely as it concerns her wealth, but her queenly personality, and which is none the less than personages of the best birth as it is sometimes put. Indianapolis is rightly jealous of New York as it concerns her future whereabouts. The thirty-sixth anniversary of the marriage of Bishop and Mrs. Joseph Simeon Flipper, D. D., LL.D, will be celebrated at Allen Temple A. M. E. School on February 11. Febu- 24, 1916, from 12 moon to 1 p.m. The literary program follows: A horoscope for 1915 (A Symposium) John Harmon, P. B.

Washington been born a white Englishman he could not have escaped peerage or some other high honor that England showers on those that render great service to the realm. This is true according to the system of reward. What the News had to say of him as an Englishman applies also to other first class countries. Had he been a churchman, showing the same initiative and activity he would have readily reached the highest positions within the gift of those organizations. This being true, the Negroes will do the proper thing in concealing every bit of his worth and do the things suggested to perpetuate his memory. Tuskegee is his best memorial; its name is his spiritual monument. When we see that it endures, ye, that it flourishes, we have done the better part in keeping green his memory. Of the proposed $2,000,000 endowment fund the race is to raise $250,000. Every one can contribute and thus share in perpetuating at once his institution and memory. Emmett J. Scott has made an earnest effort to the various organizations, asking that they respond to the call of the $250,000, the fund which, in the raising, will be under his supervision. The assurance is given that the remainder of the proposed $2,000,000 will be raised by white friends of the institution. Agents nor solicitors will be appointed to gather in the money. The appeal says: "In order that machinery and cost of collection may be reduced to a minimum, it has been decided by the trustees of the institute that no agents or special solicitors shall be appointed, and that all funds collected be sent directly to, and acknowledged from Tuskegee institute. Checks may be drawn to the order of Warren Logan, Treasurer Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, or Emmett J. Scott. "It shall be our purpose to send to all of the subscribers to this fund who give five ($5.00) dollars, or more, a certificate to be framed, showing Dr. Washington's picture, a picture of the home in which he was born, and a picture of the Tompkins Memorial Hall, the largest buildings on the Institute grounds." LOUIS D. BRANDEIS The news of the appointment of Louis D. Brandeis for the supreme court bench by President Wilson was received with more or less surprise throughout the country. The surprise was mostly due to the fact that Mr. Brandeis had not been suggested for the place. Many publications, however, were surprised that Mr. Wilson was appointed to a radical departure, choosing a man with a reputation for the previously conceived notions as to the requirements in such cases. Mr. Brandeis benefits in that he is generously conceded the ability to cope with the quality of questions that come before the judges of our last court. And should he fall in the appointment he has the pleasure of seeing himself gloriously reviewed by the best authorities of his country. Few men only have ever been paid such tributes of respect as it concerns ability, integrity and probity of character. That he has not judicial temperament is the most important of him; it is all that is said that in many ways separates him from chances for being an associate justice of our supreme court, a leading tribunal of the world, and to which any man might aspire without doing himself an injustice. Mr. Brandeis has been attorney for large interests, for small interests, for big people and for little people. He prided himself on being the attorney for the people, this, when his income was sufficient to place him in the class of aristocrats, forgetting the rungs on which he climbed to fame. This tendency to stand for the poor, the laboring classes, give color to the charge that he is more socialisl than anything else, and therefore a dangerous individual in that he makes for a principll that is no prudent to encourage. Some see him as the figure of a useful and much needed element of whose vigorous intellects and inclinations are with the great common stock, and on whom stability of government and civilization depend as much as on the moneyy interests. Our race, we think, need not be alarmed, if Mr. Brandeis is true to his advertised convictions, in the event he is confirmed in the appointment. He is known for his love of freedom and liberty, so much so that he has been called an agitator. Our choice for the supreme bench, however, was not for that quality of man, regardless of his great ability. We are no different to the general country when we also insist that we were amazed owing to the President's choice, not for fear of harm, but because our ideal was shattered. The President is a great psychologist and, perhaps, he has found the greatest sum of efficiency in his choice. The President, however, is not infallible; he is simply human. But the best is hoped because in fact this nation by right is neither Jew or Gentile—Americans every son of us. As a race we can ill afford to fight Mr. Brandeis because he is a Jew. We know too well what would have been much of the comment the appointment been a. Negro. Unthinkable would have been the awful summary. So we should be quite willing to give into the wisdom of the executive who was chosen to be such because of peculiar fitness. His discernment may be rarer, his vision clearer, especially after his years of official life. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." the famous or infamous picture play, "The Birth of a Nation" is still the subject of considerable debate when appearing in communities where Negroes are numerous. In San Francisco the production was tabooed by the joint action of Negroes and the G. A. R., a very mean combination to go against to say the least. We can readily see why the Negroes oppose the pictures, but it is not so clear what the veterans think they see in them. Last week they were put down in Kansas, because, according to the opinion, they had it appear that the South was right and the North was wrong. In California the objection from the white man's viewpoint was not clearly defined; it, so far as understood, was because the Northern soldiers got the worst of it. So it seems THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER that the localities that object are at odds as to the reasons of their opposition. The Negroes fund one general fault, and which summed up, is an exaggerated exposition of their past activities. So far, we find very few Negroes that are willing to go down in black and white with expressions of what is seen in the pictures. Rev. Dr. L. M. Hazoo, of the M. E. church, formerly of this city, Indianapolis, is one of the Negroes who has "consented" to discuss them in terms not too impassionate. For all that he is no more in favor of them than the rest of us. The sight of them compels admiration for them in part, leaving one in doubt as to the intent of them, good or evil. In the language of Shakespeare, some do come in such questionable shape that they do not willingly classify either as "airs from heaven or blasts from hell." Dr. Hawgad strongly opposes the vicious Negro scenes, giving his version of them as it occurs to him. He admits that the presentation is great as a whole, overstriding everything else of the kind as a giant overstrides a pigmy, surpassing everything else attempted by way of picture play making. Here follows the introduction to his long, vigorous article seen in another publication: This play is evidently a work of art, and aside from the "Clansman" idea, calculated to teach historical lessons and the artistic arrangement and the mechanical manipulations of scenes are awe-inspiring. The artistic arrangement and the mechanical workings of scenes as are displayed in the picture. The riding of the Clans is allied with their outstretched record applauded their movements, without regard to their mission of murders, in the pamphlet issued and sold by pansy, says: "It makes the most spectacular productions of the drama look reduced to childishness the biggest mings the theatre can do. It is a choral symphony of right in all its magic. It presents many, and also some, of the most beautiful language of Thomas Dixon, Jr. I agree with all this however, except his at the stomach. Let's look at them. Old Jake, a buffoon of the buffoons; a fawning alyphe, a Old Nelse. a fawning a maltoe, a maltoe of the monkey dancing him honor, as they are. Lydia Brown, the housewife, emphasis on the last syllable—the maitre du palate of the lower, Stoneman. His last gossip of black mummy. She refuses to have anything to do with the lieutenant government, and said "des norjah niggers do put on airs." Slim Lynch and Gus are on his "nateful negroes. I like his taste. I like the play, and we therefore privileged to form, and we therefore concluded based on the stated facts. The foregoing will appear as Greek to those who have not seen the "show." Those who wish to be honest and fair in their criticisms could do no better thing than to see the pictures. We are not ignorant of the fact that pacificists concerning them are not in the interest of the box of receipts. But that's neither here nor there. We have nothing to with that. We glean the fact through observation that where there is most "hurrah" about them they go best. Nor need we think that the total country is up in arms against the production. It is said that there are ten of these companies traveling over the country. Snags are met now and then, but mostly they are having plain sailnails; many munition conclude they are worth while unconditionally family passionately, as we consider the great questions affecting our rights as citizens. The attitude is imperative if we wish to be considered ourselves. It is known when fair trials are given whether pictures or mobs. We do not agree with these authorities of Kansas and California who see something disparaging to the Northern soldiers in the presentation. In fact a keystone of the play is when that Southern family is "marooned" in a cabin, and beset by Negroes. This is after the war, in the reconstruction days; a few Union soldiers still tramped about a southern battle field. The rescuers, southern white men, were joined by these lingering northern white soldiers. And the screen read something as follows: The North and South united again. The object apparently was to squeeze the Negro. We saw no partiality shown for North or South further than that evidenced by the facts of the war, and possibly tinged by individual preference and inclination owing to the Negro question. If that is admitted it was no more than warranted by race prejudice, and which is not going to be subjugated by violence or heroic means. As we view it the Union soldiers had the best of it; the ending of the war being true to history; the South was crushed and broken. The rebel army was swept from the fields in the last struggle, in token, as it were, of the ruined situation. The drooping standards told plainly the lost cause. The South's dejected asses were in their faces the travail of the sorrowing nation when they retraced their steps from "Richmond." Old glory triumphed; and the audiences applauded in the name of God, Abraham Lincoln and the Northern soldiers. It is we poor Negroes who are the butt of attack and ridicule. The carpet bagger was not pictured as a genius but a very small species. The shafts of hate, true enough, are hurled venomously at the little group, and which, in their more pronounced doings did not meet the approval of Northern white men. The name carpet bagger came to be a most disrespectable term, standing for a political free-booter and buccaneer. Some of these, we dare say, were no more than political adventurers who had nothing in mind more than the probable benefits owing to the prostrate section. Others were there to lead the Negro into the light, to direct him rightly in his new paths. None of this: whether of good or bad intentions, however, were acceptable to the South, and in the revolution that came in due time the Negroes got the worst of it. The pictures show this. Rev. Hagood has this to say of the Stoneman incident: It is as evident as anything can be that the main feature of this play is to humulate the northern white man and the black man! The most outrageous humiliating thing is the introduction of the Hon. Charles Sumner, the cultured, clean man, who is ushered into a room by the multitroust mistress of the carpabagger, Stoneman. She graciously and joyously admits him to the room, and he soothes voie is held. She demurring to his proposals and he persisting. At last she with her courtesan aid flirts away from him, and he follows in the same direction and the audience is told to draw its own conclusion. To me this appears the greatest achievement it has been imagined. It does not seem possible. the intelligent public sentiment of today upon the fair record of this great mum the We must admit that it fairly amounts to a sacrilege to drage in Charles Sumner's personality with the mulatto mistress of Stoneman. However, we, the Negroes, do not suffer by the incident. Mistresses are not new to political intrigues. All Europe has been infested by that sort of thing, and unless conditions have changed wonderfully in recent years that genus homo is still in that land. It is appalling to us because new to us in fact. Our novelists who do European situations are none the less industrious in regaling the occident on these "delectable" points. That she was a mulatto and not white, while meant to bittle the Northern regime who would reconstruct, is really helpful in that it gives an importance to the race, unenviable in the incident, but big in the significance—giving a historical novel treatment that does not often come to our people. We are opposed to her undisguised intent to do mischief; but as a historical novel character we insist that we are none the worse for her creation. At the same time we think her introduction at such a place and the scene was very poor judgment. The scene was very poor judgment. The scene know who Charles Sumner was, because we know of no such thing as mistresses at our "Courts," and because of the woman's unlovely disposition. But these are matters that rest with the novelist and playwright. And the test from their viewpoint is the success of the whole. There is no particular reason for a race quarrel owing to the scene.

Church in Honor of Mrs. Luvinia Nash Sainted Member of the Church—General Notes. (Allen's National News Bureau, 321 W Fifth-Ninth Street.) NEW YORK, January 31.—Major R.R. Moton, for twenty years commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute, and who a few weeks ago was appointed principal of Tuskegee Institute, to succeed the lamented Booker Washington, was tendered a reception in the afternoon at the Musical School Settlement in Colorado. He opened at 6 West 121st street. The reception was arranged primarily to give the many friends of Major Moton in this city an opportunity to wish him well to his new post, and to pledge to him their allegiance in the work that has come to him to perpetuate the memory of the late educator. An audience that overtaxed the capacity of the auditorium of the settlement, and made up of prominent citizens of both races were present. There were many white supporters of the work of Hampton and Tuskegee present, among them Dr. Bridges, Adams, of Hampton Association, and daughter of the founder of Hampton, General Armstrong. A feature of the meeting was the singing of many of the familiar Negro folk songs, led by J. Rosamond Johnson, director of the Musical School Settlement, and Major Moton. "In Bright Mansions Above," Major Moton's favorite jubilee was led by him, and it brought to mind the great great mass of us to present themselves when Major Moton used to accompany the late educator on many of his tours. Preceding addresses there was a musical program in which George H. Jones, Jr., Mrs. Lula Robinson Jones and Master Willie Butler participated. Dr. Eldridge Adams, long a friend of Hampton, was presented by Mr. Johnson. Dr. Adams told how fortunate it was for the Negro race that it had such an able player take the work of Doctor Washington. He told of Major Moton's fitness for the taslo that has come to him, and pledged his continued support to the work. He then called on Charles W. Anderson, the former collector of Internal Revenues in this city, to present Major Moton. Mr. Anderson said he could be it among the fortunes of this race that whenever we need a leader God always finds some one to take up the work. When our great leader fell asleep the other day, there stood his life-long friend, Major Moton, to take up the work when he left off. When Major Moton rose he was greeted by the chautauqua salute, led by Cleveland G. Allen, the newspaper correspondent. Major Moton gave an informal talk in which he praised the work of Dr. Washington, and he asked to dedicate themselves anew to the great task that is before us. He called attention to the sacrifice Dr. Washington made in the work of Dr. Washington is finished," declared Major Moton, "and it is for us to assist in perpetuating his work." He asked this place. It would take the whole of the race to do the work of Dr. Washington." Major Moton told how it was for him to break away from Hampstead and to take part in the life of his life. He praised the effort being made through musical school centers to save the music of the race, and to place it where it proper elonges. He asked the stress of formal reception followed and fully five hundred people shook the Major's hand. The Rise of a Young Negro Lawyer. Last week your correspondent called at the district attorney's office to inform you that young Negro lawyer who was appointed at the beginning of the year one of the deputy assistants in that office. Your correspondent found the young attorney to be a very good fit for the assignments in preparation for the many cases that come up daily in that large office. Mr. Morton greeted your correspondent cordial and reluctantly offered to provide you with the spondent assured him that there were many struggling young lawyers throughout the country who would be hired to work with him and the success that has come to him. Mr. Morton, who is one of the best prepared young lawyers of the race, told your correspondent that whatever is the name of the race is the application and hard work. "What ever success has come to me," he said. "I am proud for the sake of the race." He said that the treatment he was receiving was not the same as the other assistants at his office was expressive of a friendly attitude to him. Mr. Morton has a fine background for his work, and is well prepared to handle the difficult tasks. He is one of the most well-known. He is only 34 years of age and was born in Mississippi. He has lived in Washington most of his life, and is a graduate of the famous M Street High School. He went from there to Phillips Exeter Academy where he prepared for Harvard University. While at Exeter and Harvard he made a brilliant record for scholarship. While at Harvard he was took a position as president as a debater. He was also a law course at Boston University. He came to this city about fourteen years ago and allied himself to the American Institute of Social Medicine. His rise in that year was rapid, and he soon attracted the attention of the men higher up. A few weeks ago he was elected to the presidency of the United Colored Democracy, one of the most potent organizations among colored men in The office to which he has been appointed carries a salary of $2,500 and affords a fine opportunity for experience and contact. The office carries with it much prestige and is an office in which ability and much tact must be required. Mr. Morton comes from a fine family. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Morton, the Treasurer. His father has been a clerk in the Treasury. Department for many years, his brother, Frederick D. Morton, is the principal of Manassas Industrial University of Manassas. The rise to such eminence by a young man of the race should furnish stimulus for all young men who are struggling for a place in the world of af- Captain Blunt Appointed Military Instructor.

The band played and the crowd gathered promptly as so solitary as the audience. The play house was jammed twice that evening, including a matinee—three shows. The opening an exhibition was given by the orchestra when little Clifton Drake featured "O, You Drummer." The audience called for more. And he gave it. This aggregation is noted for its costuming, which is complete and fitting according to the show.

The majority of this to this office will mean much for the success of the work. Captain Blunt is not the only race and has had a long and distinguished record as a soldier. He distinguished himself with the Ninth Immune regiment during the Spanish-American War, and the race to hold a separate office to command a post. In 1888 he went to the Ninth Infantry volunteers, and was appointed to the place of a captain in that regiment. While in the Philippine Islands, he was having captured Acuallnado's secretary.

Billy Bailey is by no means a entertaining dancer. He takes his time—a droll foot comedian, getting as much laughter for what he does as many a comedian does for his role. The playlet, "What Woman Will Do," is an interesting little skit where Drake, Bailey, and his friends play in a good exhibition of comedy and drama. Miss Walker is highly interesting in her role as a fashionable woman who visits the club, where she meets many men, most reason for the interest in her.

Well, so long, Dad! with tear-dimmed eyes. We will your hands across your breast. 'Tis hard to break the loving ties. But oh! we we know you've longed for rest. For many long and weary years You blazed the pioneer trail. 'Knew not With heart and soul that knew not fear. Courageous strength that could not fail. The trials, the sorrows, that infest. The path of mortals here below, Could never still your merry jest, Could heart ne'er bowed to weight of wee. You sought to lighten others' care; A wallill was given three. Go spread thy sunshine everywhere! Proclaim thy merry minstrelly! The mission well thou didst fulfill, And nobly were thine honors won. Alas, thy lips are cold and still. The Master speaks: "Enough, well done!" The way you take you it may not show, Though mine turn the road will know. Ecclesiastically turn the road will know. That leads to that mysterious shore. The host of friends you left behind. Bid the "bon voyage" with God's speed; Another host o'er there you'll find, And God to succor every need. Well, so long, Dad! but not farewell. Tis but a little time and we Could never still your merry jest, With God in blest sternity. I am in receipt of a letter from Dr. Jasper Tapper Phillips. Words are scarcely adequate for me to express my deepest thanks to the kindness of good wholesome advice, sane praise and encouragement and has greatly inspired me in my life's work. Included was a dandy poem by the book which I firmly submit by the approval of the Freemaker readers. THE MAN WHO'S UP. One can not hold his brother down In the low ditch of life. Without remaining there with him In ignorance and strife. The burden then, which would drag The man whose deeds are good. Is raised and he will surely climb Who lifts the brotherhood. The man who's up with his strong Should each upon the ground. And raise to heights where all are free The man who's farthest down. The man who's down is filled with hope. He climbs both day and night. And so the man who's up he shouts— Help me, I need the light!" -Jasper Tappan Phillips, M. D., Nashville, Tennessee. The doctor deplores the fact that, generally speaking, the men of the theatrical profession have to do or take the time to develop the aesthetic side of their lives. He was generous enough to typify me as an exception. Knowing the profession as I do and the many brilliant men the profession includes, I feel that I would be the most manly litigator. I I allowed the doctor to preserve the illusion that I was an exceptional type. NEWS OF THE PLAYERS John H. Mason will be with J. C. Miles' band this season.

But I am personally acquainted with many whose souls overflow with the beauty and love of life, and they have written down these divine messages from the muse and hidden them away, awaiting the arrival of some sympathetic soul; when such a one arrives, they permit to a bashful lover, they permit to a peep into their treasure house of love and beauty, and straightway close it again, fearful lest it be profaned by those whose eyes have not been opened to the many wonderful and beautiful things of life with which God has surrounded them. It has been my great pleasure and benefit to peep into many of those treasure troves. If more people were like the doctor, ready and willing to give a word of encouragement and an end to the hardships, know how much hidden genius would be brought to light. We can read the external but who can read the internal in a marvelous but God? We are too parsimonious with our friendship, appreciation and encouragement. Criticism is thrust upon us, but a marvelous gift like two-edged sword.

P. release as an answer to "The Birth of a Nation," is still a promise. But moving pictures are eagerly devoured by the HarperCollins agency, critically those bordering on the highly melodramatic, prove to be those most demanding of the genre, too, its use of advertising and preagency is taking a second place for Billie Reeves, whose work is founded upon a broader sense of humor. Bronx-based Billie with all of his faults, still finds a place in all of the hearts of the colored man. Speaking of moving pictures we would like to request two things of our own: a house. First, we do not desire pictures that caricature the race. Second, we want ventilation. There is no doubt Franklin is now it. *t* is a menace to health. F. S. WOLCOTTS' RABBIT FOOT CO. (By P. L.

He has proved conclusively that he was entirely out of form when he " pulled up" some comeback in the 70, but what he is being hailed as the world's greatest runner at the 70 and 100. He has skied every athlete and writer on the dailies will send forth the prediction that the remarkable colored lad will even go himself one better by clipping 1-5 second turns in the 70, but what he rest on the new laurels added to his already long string of victories ever shows he attracted the attention of the athlete. I have never entertained any doubts about Drew's winning at the Milrose Academy last week for a time of his arrival here up to a few minutes before he started, we have made it a point to thank him after time he assured me that he was in the best condition possible, and his reason for coming here was because he felt confident of winning.

Alex. Marks 654 Broadway, New York City FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE LOCAL NEWS THEN ACCUMBLED ON THE WRITE JOHNSON SHOWS SKILL IN BOUT WITH BARTON. Leo Outclasses Opponent at the Har im Sporting Club Nielsen helan After the crowd that packed the Harlem A. C. last night had watched Lee Johnson and, with Wee Wee Barton for scores it became evident to all that the Boxing Commission in continuing the fight had wisely. To turn loose Mistah Johnson among the present crop of white lightning and have been arrested cruelly. an ankle injury, his black lightweight, who has just returned from a tour of the South and West, approaches near to the form of the knee, to the team he has played in the class for some years past. He has the icy coolness that was the predominance in the team's earlier, and mixed with all the curpiness and skill of the once great champion. He hits well with both hands, blocks like like "Elbow" McFadden and has an ankle injury. He outboxed the bout between Johnson and Barton is concerned, it was evident to the casual observer thatelson was hit by a mile, and he hit him at full but there was no sting in the punches. The incident disinclination of Johnson and damage Barton finally aroused John Reisler, who instructed Referee McFarland to order the men to oox on their feet, and was some improvement thereafter, but it was clear that Barton was on his feet at the finish purely through the coax. Nack, a clever Harlemite, and Carey Phenon, known as the Terry McForen team, fought furiously for the victory. The Phenon forced the battle from the first going to the last and did nineteens of the leading. He landed heavily on Nack, and also raised the boxer's eyes. Harry Siegal of The Bronk, one of Bennie Leonard's spartan partners, gave his exhibition a perpetual presence in his huit with Johnny Moran, the Fighting Chauffeur. Siegal, who calls himself a dueling player with both hands from the first tap of the gong till the Fighting Chauffeur, took lasted 1 minute and 2 seconds of the first round. HARRY WILLS, COLORED RING REX, WILL NOT BE CHAM- PION-HAS NO CHANCE WITH WHITE PUGS. Harry Wills, the New Orleans heavyweight, will never be a champion because he will knock about among the "Hope" just as Sam Langford has done for the last nine knockouts, and he will do the same over knockouts. He is twenty-four years of age, weighs 215 pounds and is six feet two inches tall. He has won over Langford, McVeigh and Jea-watte. He knocked out the much-anticipated Willard, in eighteen seconds in San Francisco a little over a year ago. Pulton, by the way, neglected to mention this bout in his well padded reciever. Wills has suffered by one decisive decision in the fourth round and fourteen rounds in California, but not before the unknown Wills had knocked Sam down for the first count less than three. And it is countless that received some very long counts as well. weight now. Wills began his career as a jockey, weighing less than a hundred pounds. He turned fighter after he was injured. He began as a bantamweight. While a featherweight he fought a draw with a horse. Then a time a featherweight. A few years later they met again, and strange to him, had grown into a featherweight weighing about hundred pounds. Wills won by a knockout in four rounds in the same ring that they had fought Berry Wills is undoubtedly the best of the colored fighters. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT Dallas, Tex., contemplates erecting a stadium in which to hold all kinds of amateur sporting events. The structure will be 20,000, and will cost about $100,000.

A correspondent is surious to know how to deliver the emery ball. That is a pitching invention. I never had much to do with. The whole theory of the ball is to touch up the ball. I am not a better grip and the curves will break wider and more sharply. It is something like the rosin ball, only more effective. The rosin ball was used to be the top of the ball. The place in the hike pocket of his uniform. He stuck his fingers in between every pitch, got a little rosin on his hand, and rubbed it into the ball. This gave him rough surface work with. This is the only Kaiti in the 1980s of the Yankees, who first broke with an emery ball while pitching against the Athletics. Into the palm of his glove he sewed a small piece of emery paper and ground the ball into this, giving it what we all was being of the Athletics. Eddie tollins, formerly of the Athletics, said to me afterwards: "He had the greatest curves ever seen in a big league. They were so wide they were apt to kill some one." However this style of delivery was so good off of the riddled the big leagues after the Athletics insisted on taking a look at the palm of the Yankee pitcher's glove. It was allowed for only a short time, but it was allowed long enough to let one twirler fall into the field. But it was not to be so far from the emery ball. I forget which pitcher it was now, but he went like a whirlwind in the big league. He was a sharp-breaking curves, and he stood the batters on their heads. The Federal League gumshe men got a look at him and he was ready for a long term contract. He was wise and accepted rapidly. Then the big league powers legislated against the big league, and the intensive prima donna carried to keep him alive. I don't think he finished the game on the bench and drew his salary regularly until the recent peace. Now he will have to look for a job in the minor leagues unless he is smart enough to play the emery ball is not a style of delivery to cultivate. It is about as sportsmanlike as mounting a cannon to the ball in the batter. Often, I have tried to teach both big leaguers and college men how to throw the fadeaway. To learn it requires a careful approach, because the tough thing is to get control of it. I have not confined my efforts to the Giants. I have endeavored to show twirlers on rival clubs how to get this peculiar break on the ball, but without much success. Red Ames, formerly of the Giants, has been able to lose and loose with it regularly in a pinch, which is the real time to use the fadeaway. There is no use wearing your arm and wrist out throwing this curve two men out and nobody on the bases. I have also shown Miner Brown, the great Giants Cubs, how to deliver the ball, but he never developed enough faith in it to use it. It was tougher for him to throw the fingers on his pitching hand. In throwing the fadeaway, the ball is gripped on the seams to get a better hold, as in pitching any curve. The fingers do not seam the seams in throwing the fast ball. King Cole, who had one great year when he Chicago Cut out when he the National League pitchers, is dead. Chance was criticised when he later sent him to Pittsburgh, where he did not have much pitching left. Cole did not give himself or his arm enough of a chance. It is another case of an injury that has not been dying young. Well, anyway, I have just gotten over the grip, myself, and I have got outdoors as soon as I was strong enough, because I don't figure any one ever got well by staying the house. LEO PATTERSON WINS FROM BATTLEING MILE AT ST. LUOI, MO. ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Lee Patterson, the Joplin terror, easily outpaced Battleship, and vanished in vannah. Ga. last Friday at the Future City A.

He would shoot a straight left to the stomp-right, not the ocean, which seemed to THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTR.YED COLORED NEWSPAPER bother Ghee.

EDDIE JORDAN GOT NO DECISION OVER LESLIE WILLIAMS. Sporting Jordan, of Corinth, Miss, says he got a decision over me at Warren Ark. I wish to say I will meet Jordan and I will win all.

Jordan knows he can not put it over me and my weight is 154 to 158. Jordan knows he can put it over him and wants to box me I will take him on, winner take all. Jordan is no boxer at all; he could make good in Little Rock, so he left SHE DIDN'T KNOW HUBBY WAS ROUGH. ST. PAUL, Jan. 28.—I never imagined Mike could be so rough, what was his reaction when he first met the eye seeing the first run of the movie showing her husband administering the knockout to slumber after he came in. Ahearn told Mike and keep him from being so rough with the girl he Mike continued. “I always thought he just flirted around, tapping his opponents gently now and then and opening out of the fellows that he to hit him.” EDDIE JORDAN STOPPED DAN MARS IN THE SIXTH. Warren, Ark., January 24—Everyone went away from the K. of P. Hall, right after seeing one of the best exhibitions in the art of self defense ever pulled off in this town. Mars had a knock down in the 4th round. He took the count of eight in the 5th and was knocked out in the 6th. Half of the Jordan would like to meet Kid Monday, of Columbus, Ga., or Battlet Jack Russell, of Montgomery, Ala., acquainted with him around those parts. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT. Harry Wills, the New Orleans colored heavyweight, who was given the decision against at New Orleans the other night, is one of the most promising heavies seen in some time, changing from a title fighter to a beating Langford, but to do that he will have to defeat Sam McVey, who is, he says, the heaviest heavyweights living, but barred by the color line. If Wills wants to annex the colored title he will have to meet and defeat Sam McVey, and then he will have a clear title to the championship. Wills can also get with McVey, as the manager of Sam (George Lawrence, of Australia), has offered to wager 5,000 with any one who beats him either Langford or Wills against McVey.

STECHER HAS EARMARKS OF A WRESTLING CHAMP Society Folk, in Glad Rage, Watch Easy Victory of Masked NEW YORK. Jan. 28. The "masked marvel" of wrestlingdom is marvelous today no more. Somewhere on Broadway today is a pair of knees that last longer than a pair of knees and the knees are grown upon Joe Stecher a farmer boy from near Dodge, Neb.; a big husky 200-pound lad, who is using his right hand to fight right on his first visit to Gotham af- ter taking a paltry fifteen minutes to put the masked Mort Henderson on his back twice. He was for the best two out of three falls and not since Frank Gotch showed here has there been such a wrestler in New York as the man who wrestled with the hold in his legs. The marvels shoulders, which had met all comers and stayed in the air throughout the Man with the mask, held the mat the first time in 9:50 and the second time in 5:51. Stecher had the marvel worried from start and everlasting defensive. After Frank Gotch. A big purse looks good to champion Frank Gotch and promoters here are confident in his title match. At present Gotch is in training for a barnstorming tour with a circus. Because of his age Stecher would be a big favorite in the betting if the men get to Clubmen in evening clothes, and so they were often the first to arrive avenue folk and upper east side folk, and folk from the artist colony in the square square saw Stecher win his match. --- TRIP TOO LONG FOR WAGNER. Outfielder Ed Barney of the Pittsburgh Pirates invited Hans Wagner to visit him and spend a little while hunting and fishing. Wagner was delighted and told Barney to write him all about it as soon as he got home. The other day John Henry got a letter from Barney, dated Wanganul. Saskatchewan, with instructions as to how to report. He was to take trains as far as North Battleford and then go by wagon sixty miles through the forest to Wanganul. The weather, according to Barney, was delightful for the trip—only 20 degrees below zero so far. And Wagner has decided to do his fishing and hunting in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, though he is just as much obliged to Barney. The home of Barney is in Wisconsin, but he went out to western Canada to look after a farm in which he has an interest. --- WILLIAMS SUPERSTITIOUS. Manager Bought Horseshoes to Keep Him In Trim. Sammy Harris, manager of Kid Williams and the matchmaker who clinched the Kibane-Chaney championship title, told a good one on Kid Williams recently. "When the Kid was training for his fight with Coulon on the coast, he became very superstitious. "If he found a horseshoe on a road trip in the morning, he was happy all day. I bought two dozen old horseshoes and had one of his sparring partners drop one on the road each day. The Kid found 'em and never grew grouchy." HAUGHTON BRAVES' OWNER. Harvard Football Coach Should Be Success In Baseball. Percy D. Haughton, the Harvard football coach, is now president and part owner of the Boston club of the National league. Associated with him in the purchase of the Braves is a syndicate of Boston men, including Arthur 1910 Photo by American Press Association. PERCY HAUGHTON, BOSTON BRAVES' NEW OWNER. C. Wise, a member of a Boston banking firm. The new president announced that he would retain the services of George E. Stallings as manager of the club and that Stallings would have absolute charge of the playing end of the organization. The announcement of the sale of the club, which two years ago won the world's championship after a sensational season, was a surprise. Unofficially the price paid is said to be close to $500,000. The club was purchased three years ago by Mr. Gaffney and John M. Ward for $187,000. Experts are of the opinion that Haughton will be a success in baseball. He is not the type of man to sit back and watch any team in which he is interested lose consistently without jumping in to apply methods which have been so uniformly successful. It behooves George Stallings, then, to keep the Boston Braves clattering along near the top this year, else the new president of the club is likely to do some managing on his own account. Haughton should lend added prestige to baseball in general and the National league in particular. He will be as strong a force in the councils of the league as in the direction of the Braves. He seems to be favored of fortune, too, and even now it can be suggested that the team which beats the house of Haughton will win the pennant ere the gray days of October slip into the past.
