The problem of red light districts has been well tested in greater cities of the east. When once they are broken up they never can resemble the streets of cities with laws of nature to condemn them and the moral restriction of society must be upheld.

There was an audience and he had a opened up a theater on a dollar- eighty cents— The dollar for scenery and the eighty for an ad. Brought him three lovely dollars in a day, by dad! Well he booked some performers and a little more space. And he plunged into the system with a face. The people docked to his two-by-four. And soon he had to hustle a larger place to show. Upon the square where the people pass, he used it to a corner that was all plate glass. He fixed up the theater with the best that he had, And he rem'em all about it in a half- page ad. He soon had 'em coming and he never, never quit, And he wouldn't cut his ads one "by that hand. With he kept things humming in the town ever since, And everybody calls him the Vodivilh Prince. Some say it's luck, but that's all bunk— Why he was doing business when the People like the show and the geezer was wise— For he knew the way to get 'em was "A PACK OF CARDS." Our Game of Life Is Typified in a Pack of Cards. First—We have a full pack, which is number, averages our life's duration. Second—There are fifty-two cards, COLORED SCHOOL MAY GET $5,000 White Men Praise Normal and Indus trial Institute at Mass Meeting Here—Subscriptions are That the Atlanta Normal and Industrial institute has an excellent opportunity to aid it in carrying on its work of training colored boys and girls for the work of life, was the interesting anecdote at the education mass meeting held at Taft hall, Auditorium-Armory. White men familiar with the work of the school told the college told of the excellent work which it is doing and paid a high tribute to its head, while Rev Richard D. McCormick, a summary of the growth of the school and the manner in which its work is being done, told the work man who has asked that his name be withheld has advised the management of the school that he will give $2,500 to the institution as soon as possible. Other other friends. More than $800 had been secured prior to Sunday afternoon's meeting, and following the gathering that brought subscriptions made at the mass meeting the amount had been increased to Rev. Stinson has been at work on the project but a very short time, and was much encouraged with the help of the students. He expressed confidence that the remainder of the money will be secured in to get the gift man has been given. Students Render Music. Music by the students of the school was an interesting feature of Sunday afternoon's service, and explanation was made of the determination of the students to get into the world as workers men and women whose training is not confined to classroom experience, but who have knowledge of the work that is farm, at the sewing machine and in the kitchen. McCord, governor of the Federal Reserve bank at Atlanta, presided at the meeting and spoke in behalf of the school. "While white people are perfectly willing to do that he should be doing," he said. "He is doing." said Mr. McCord, "you must help yourselves. Education is broad, but the thing for you to do is to get that education which will do you the greatest amount of good. It is better you have no education than that you have no education does not you the difference between right and wrong. The people who are going to court these days from both races are women." The education that you should have that education which will fit you for the performances of some definite duty in life. You should not without working for it. The white people work for their living, and you should work for your own. The education should teach you your duty to yourself and your God. Every clash between the races in the state of Georgia will lead to a great commonwealth in the estimation of the people of other states the state. I would warn you not to listen to these people who preach social equality and the doctrine is a dangerous doctrine, and men as Dr. Stinson to lead you you not to be tempted to give ear to the people in your district. You are fortunate in having such a man to lead you, and it affords a pleasure that I am able to say a word for the assistance for him for the work which we do. L M Lundrum, superintendent of the schools of Atlanta, declared that education is based on usefulness. We must learn to teach and teach. We must learn to teach and only through this system we give training for the highest aim, and I believe we should teach the children to do the things that are right. A thorough education is to carry with it the full experience of our building, we must build character. *School Is Fortunate.* "I am told to see the work that you are doing. Boys and girls of the colored race are being taught to earn their education, and the basis upon which they must be baked. The school is fortunate in being at its head the man who is in charge of its activities at the present time, and it must be added a word of commendation for him upon the work which he is doing." In beginning his remarks, W. O. Botee paid a high tribute to Rev. Stinion. He said in part: "I believe that the American, which the greatest negro of America, has fallen upon the white population of R. Stinion. The white people of this city trust him. My advice to the negroes is to best class of white people and to let the You will not have any trouble disap- luging between the best white peo- the and those who will not trust you, the negro race in Atlanta and in the just as many as there are weeks in the year. Third—Four colors, as there are quarters in the year. Fourth—When in each color, as there are weeks in the quarters. In German it is called "Kreuz." And many of us have seen and heard of it in French, how many a man has started out in life with the "Treff" card in diamonds and ended up in a cold application of the spades. Yes, this complex must we come at once. Hamlet says, ends all of our games and And thus, while we start in life with unfriendly criticism, which causes us to deceive, the miss the ripe age of 66, but then in life's morning we often have "500" high, low compensates "Jack" for the ripe age of 66, or "ordering up." For all of our bluffs scare away the death "poker," who cards us off to the grave, where all of us are so blended that it is immaterial whether we have been kings, queens or knights, or our sorrows, but the "slams" come nevertheless. How many of us have themselves into the "400" to become the "joker" on the "table" of "concern." The ace is the high card; it is the supreme card as is the creator of all of us, and the primal number, the one card that makes up the whole pack. The deuce is husband and wife, how often do they play the deuce with each other, involving the whole pack. state of Georgia is judged by every colored man and woman in it. Those of other states don't select the best of you for the formation of their opinions concerning the race. "The same is true of the white people. You must remember that. If you cannot build up your race, you do so. Do not fail in a good citizen. Every time that you advance you raise a standard of the colored race in the state of Georgia. "I am greatly interested in the work which is being done at your school and in the institution you have been institution your moral and financial support. He deserves it and is doing an excellent work for you. He deserves your confidence and your help," he said. "I am confident that this school has been founded and conducted along the right line. 'In Holy Writ,' he said, "it is written that we shall live by the sweat of our brow, and that we shall learn to make ourselves to make a living with your hands. It is for each of you to make for yourselves what you want to be, but do not expect to be something for you." Respect for Bankers. "I have as much respect for the man who drives a mule on our streets as for the man who works conscientiously and earnestly. If he is honest and sincere in his purpose, the man who earns his bread by driving his car is the man who is deserving of respect. "The negroes of this city must help this school. The white people have been good to it because it is deserving of their support, and the white people have been supported by the white people alone and I am glad that the negroes are contributing to its support. You must be a good supporter of this school is doing a great work for you and I am hopeful that success will attend his efforts for many years to come." Rev. Stinson explained the conditions upon which the offer of $2,500 had been made to the negroes. "The negroes is due to idleness among the members of the colored race. "I see the wisdom of making this a great education. "I want the trust of the members of my own race," he said, "I am interested in the young men who are found in the pool roms and under the influence of alcohol." Explanation was made of the need for money with which to pay debts, buy tools for the workshops, pay for fuel and food and purchase clothing, and buy clothes and shoes are not here today," the speaker said, "because they haven't proper shoes and clothing to wear." Upon the suggestion of the white speaker, rising vote of confidence in Rev. Stinson was expressed by those who attend the gathering. Subscription List.

All: matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, Now Phos 290. a SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1916. ‘The Democratic line of the primary was merely perfunctory. Tt was a great ticket to vote, Oceans of names, and of individuals never seen or heard of by the general electorate, From the looks of the returns the Republican ticket will be a mixture of nationalities, but they are all good Americans. The officers and waiters of the Breakers Hotel of Palm Beach, Fla., recently held a memorial service in honor of the late Booker T. Washing- ton, when a nice sum of money was raised as a donation to the $250,000 memorial fund. The young men set a proper pace. Their example should be followed; and if so, Emmett J. Scott. could confidently expect to raise the entire sum within the year. | One of our exchanges not long since had it that the Seelsbach Hotel, one of the swellest hotels in -Louis- ville, Ky., had a Negro as a guest, He remained there for sometime after another Negro reported to the hotel authorities that ‘the guest was a Ne- gro, ‘The writer left us in an awful Suspense as to what happened next. His point, however, was to emphasize the fact ‘that a Negro “turned the guest up.” He might have finished the two routes of his story since they are of equal interest if not of equal ‘tcaneatennn Ralph W. Tyler, of Ohio, formerly auditor for the navy, has created a sensation in that state by entering the campaign as a candidate for delegate atlarge to the Republican National Convention at Chicago. Mr. Tyler said that the race was entitled to one delegateatiarge, and ngt, moroly an alternate, as the case Has been for many years. Mr. Tyler waited until the very last moment, when seeing nothing doing along the line of his thinking, he took the bull by the horns, going after the thing on_his own hook, He is being supported’ by white men who are an especially pre: pared slate. ‘Thus the beauties of pri- mary elections are unfolding. Phil H. Brown, of Hopkinsville, Ky., editor of “The Saturday News,” has’ been chosen as one of the eight men who will go from the state of Kentucky to Chicago as delegates-at- large to the National Republican Con: vention. It fs a distinction to be se. lected as a “Warwick, a king maker,” and the delegates do stand in guch a relation to the nation even if vold of the monarchial flummery. In many instances these men are. of presidential calibre, as the past_has shown, when Presidents, like Saul, rose right from among their own groups. Quite a distinction to be a member of such groups when a Presi- dent may be touching your very el- bow. Such makes for the grandeur of institutions of democracy. The attacks on Wilberforce Uni- versity are being resented. President Scarborough insists that there {s nothing wrong at the institution. It is making its usual headway, and which is in keeping with that of sim- ilar schools, In its defense many fine expressions of the value, importance and usefulness of the university have reached this office. They come from the highest officials of the state, and from those who are in closer touch with the work, However, its success is its best advocate. The need of better and greater facilities is the surest proof of the appreciation of It and its efficiency. Wilberforee needs additional. buildings, according to the president, and greater facilities for taking care of the increasing demands. The primary held throughout the state by all parties did not furnish any particular surprises. Most interest centered in the Republican party. In the party the keenest rivalry was be- tween Harry C. New and James B. ‘Watson, candidates for the nomination for United States Senator. At this time Mr, New is leading and it is the feeling generally that he has been suc- cessful, As It concerns’ the colored voters, they were especially concerned about the Colored gnats At this time it appears Dr. James R. Norrell’ has been nominated for Sen: ator on the Republican ticket. candidates for the county offices were not different to those whom it was generally thought would be successful, Among these are Rucker, Sourbler, Coffin, Poole and Cheney. ‘The same can be said of the candidates for other places, there being but a very itew surprises. ‘The ticket is strong, and bids fair to be successful when the reat contest comes. §omeone had it that President Wi- son in a recent talk on the navy situ- ation got off good one on what he called a “darkey” preacher. By the way, when a Southern white man re- fers to a Negro as “a darkey” he meena it as a compromise expression between the rather dignified expres- sion "Negro" and the hated term “Nigger.” This is especially so when he wished to work off a bit of humor. He knows that if he said “Nigger” it would kill the joke, owing to. the ma- lignaney of the expression. And if he said Negro” the joke would become “stale, flat and unprofitable.” The someone referred to in the beginning thought that ‘the President should have been too dignified to use the expression “darkey.” ‘There {s a re- deeming little couplet which runs something like this: . “A Iittle nonsense now and then, Is relished by the best-of men.” ‘We recommend {t to our sequeatnish friend. We think ft somewhat cute in the chief executive to have bended his mighty mind sufficiently to think a homely “darkey” joke would. be ap- preciated, But to the joke, ‘he sald that in fighting force, though not in quality, the nayy is reckoned fourth in rank, though, he said, he suspected when talking with the’ officers” they could give an account of themselves which would raise them above fourth class. “It reminds me,” he said, “of that very quaint saying of, the old darkey preacher,” "The ‘Lord. says unto Moses, come fourth, and he came fifth “and Jost, the race.” The some- One referred to after raging about who we are and are not, concludes with this pacific utterance, "Thanks for your kind reference, anyhow, Mr, Wilson.” ‘This is quite as funny as the President's joke, and altogether unexpected after having read the President's red-hot lecture. TUSKEGEE MEMORIAL FUND. Our Madam Walker has subscribed 3500 as her part toward the $250,000 fund to be raised by the colored peo: ple as their part of a $2,000,000 fund for the perpetuation of Tuskegee. Emmett J.

INVADES NEW YORK. Our Madame Walker has gone from us, but like doting parents when their children leave the parental roof, we are proud to noise it abroad that she {s doing well. New York has caught up our chant of praise for her, sing- ing it iustily as if those there were one of us. “The, New York Citizen,” in a recent issue, by way of welcome to her, had the following to say: “New York colored citizens general- ly welcome the news that Mme.

Are you willing to pay it? ‘Thrice weleome and all hail Mme. Walker, May her ex ample he a lizht to all her race.” ANENT THE DIVISION. Bishop Alexander Walters has been chosen as a trustee of Howard Uni: Yersity, Washington, D. C., taking the place of the late Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington, ‘The bishop's open letter to the President apparently did not get him into disfavor. The distinguished churchman has long since had a ‘wholesome ambition to serve his race. His case was clear, since he had noth ing personally, to gain by his activities. ‘That is to say, he could be no more omficially than he is. He honestly con- ‘celved the idea that i generous ming. ling of Negroes in all parties would be the means of reducing the hate of all members of ‘those parties, conse quently. resulting in an improved ra- cial relationship. ‘The program was at tractive! and aliogether rational, and iad ft ajot been for the very stubborn "bugbeat ot cial equality fs doctrine would have. made much headway Every advance ntovement of the race 1s Interpreted “as. threatening the stronghold of Social equality.

As‘a result of this’ vigilance we get Segregation in its multiplicity of! form, Taking part in the various politica parties ‘was not the panacea as Bishop Walters thought when he began his forward movement of political di vision. He had a foretble object es son when the nation, the administra tion itself, stood up on the side of the white race in the matter of segrega tion at the Capitol. Elsewhere there have been the same uncompromising attitudes, and where party afiliation counted for nothing. So it is quite natural, that the bishop has grown sick and tired:of the whole busitiess and according to what some say, now Advises the return of the “lost Gabe to the G. O. P. Of course, thé situa tion from the) viéwpoint of separation is disheartening, but so far as being able to work in any capacity, to en Joy ourselves in any way known to any people, it is all possible, but whol ly within the race. ‘The contention, however, for the larger Hberty is no amiss since it means ambition of the race to be, and which, if it does no get all expected, gets a respectable relationship, and. whiely now is above that enjoyed by similar people in othe anda’ TWO PICTURES, A writer at Greenville, N. C., sent a communication this week, to the Freeman, wherein he referred to what may be considered the heroic deed of Chas. H. Huggins of that city, His letter was sent for publication, but we do not think it best to give it as written wholly, notwithstanding, Hug ging did no’more than take his manly part against four young white men, who tried to make him “haul” it, How We say things is what counts most. It is better to say to an individual “that’s not the truth” than to say you're a Nar, and yet they mean about the same thing. Says the letter: Two of the young white men were noted for beating and kicking negroes when it pleased them to do so. Huggins had noticed this, and reasoned that he would in time be due a kicking; he felt it coming, so he prepared to head it off. He prom- ised a hot time in the old town when his turn came. It came all right. He had some words.with, one of the fel- lows, who told him, Huggins, that he would kick him in the street, It was a plenty. ~ Huggins did not wait to find himself booted, but fell to work on the would be kicker at once, In the chase that followed the flee- ing young white man was joined by three others, the four now came against Huggins, but he flung back the reinforced army by himself. ‘The negro was not hurt. According to the letter he refused to be arrested. Just how he managed to escape this ‘the writer does not say. According to ‘the letter he was requested a few days after the fight by the mayor to come into court. He did so, and was fined $32.75. Many persons will see reason to ap- plaud the young colored man, speaking of it in such m way as to ‘make for future trouble. We think it best to advise peaceful methods at all times, but we are human enough to advise a negro to act just like a white man would tnder similar circumstances. White men are not given to permit- ting themselves to be kicked by other men, and our men are hurt and insul ted by kicks as other men are. ‘This es not be law, but it is human, Now comes a most lamentable story, showing that the sum of good does not reside in any particular person or ‘people. A North Carolina publication had a few days ago, in startling head- lines in part: "Guard brutally mur- dered by convict yesterday afternoon. Mr. Joe MeLawhorn victim of a pick axe in the hands of a negro—Dave Byans.” Following this was a’ recital of a most harrowing story running in part as follows: “One of the most daring and cold- blooded murders ever committed within the bounds of Pitt county. or Eastern North Carolina, was that of yesterday Afternoon, about. four. o'clock, when Dave Bvans, a Negro convict on’ the county gang, drove a pick axe through the «ull of guard Joe MeLawhorn, and with ‘six other convicts made a” safe wetaway. “Another guard who was but a short distance away saw the crime commit- ted and made a start for the scene, but Evans, grabbing. a d4-calibre pistol from the belt of his victim, ordered the guard to stop and throw down his kun.” Upon refusing to do s0, the con- Niet fired four #hots at the guard, but fortunately neither struck. him, Dur- ihe the time tho convict was fring the fursra alse opened fire witha shot un mut the distance waa too great, “and only having bird shot in his gun, he Stood a poor chance of hitting Evans, although he thinks “the conylet Is wounded aa he was seer to “change hands durin: the prowess of the shoot- DB. ‘Fizach of the escaped convicts wore shackles, When but a short distance from. the scene. of the "murder, they fecured an axe, Tt ix stated, and. re~ Hoved themselves of the shackles. Tt ts thought that one of the Negroes. Is Bil “wearing hit, chains as only six pair were found.” _ ‘The publication says that McLaw- horn threatened to use the whip on ‘Evans again when he was in a surly ‘mood. The negro told the keeper that he bad taken his last whipping from him, And it appears that he meant it, This is no time to discuss the use of whips on men, It was understood that the business had been abolished in the state of North Carolina. | Law or no taw it is wholly inhuman for any man to submit with anything like good grace to the lash in the hands of an- other man. The man that does not harbor revenge for the insult to his body is a, freak. ‘But that's beside the question. This unfortunate happening came about by the rules of the institution, ‘That they jare wrong does not justify Evans be fore the law, since he killed a man. If the individual view. about such pun- ishmentgets the entertainer of such a view in troble it is his own fault; for no matter what wé may think pri vately it can not be set up as law oF jugtiflable in event of existing laws to the contrary. We may resent such mode of punishment, and naturally harbor revenge, but~ this revenge 1s no more than that we hold within us against any man Who gredtiy wrongs us. The revenge fs entertained even AF the vistation Js not thought of by way of blows; this applies generally Some are revenged when a calamity befalls their foes. Others work tc bring about the fall. It is human. Evans is not excused; he committed a horrible murder, with the chances in ‘his favor of a hanging. The others who We present these two cases to show that We are not without consideration. In the first instance the young colored man was admired, perhaps, by the white people, even to the mayor who could have shot him if he had any fear of him. In the second instance is a case with somewhat mitigating circum- stances in the human mind, but ag- gravating as jt concerns the written law and by which we are governed. ‘This news will not make us friends; but if the guilty man is met and pun- ished by the due processes of law we take itthat it will make far satistac- tion all around.

THE SMART SET COMPANY OPENS AT THE NEW IMPERIAL THEATER "George Washington Bullion Abroad' With Salem Tutt Whitney, as the Star, Pleases West Siders—J. Homer Tutt, Blanche Thompson, Hattie Akers and Luke Scott Divide Honors. (By Sylvester Russell.) (Chicago Special) It was not the reputation of the Smart Set nor Salem Tutt Whitney that drew out a goodly number to the opening matinee at the theater, near Western Avenue, last Sunday afternoon, it was just the regular patrons of the house that had come out as usual to see a new attraction, but just to while the time away and if they liked the play they would go to see the pop-up what had been seen, heard and realized. It was probable that George Beidler, owner, or some of the Oakley Amusement Company, had seen the show at the Grand and knew what was coming to greet their patrons in one of the handsomest theaters on Madison street, and if so optimism was a well warranted treasure, for news of the peru- excellence of the production as a whole had reached a circumference of both latitude and longitude through the funny and data territory of the theater. The lineup for the performance which furnished proof of what had been seen at the matinee formed a meridian far distant, as people approached to find it in reality. Its the Smart Set, they sighed, only they discovered that Salem Tutt Whitney, the funny comedian in black face, amused them. star of the smart sea. And more than of their heart's desire, I discovered that white people like Whitney's capers even better than the people of his own race, so they can be more likely to so legitimate in his bearing, that the quality of his work really deplicts the good natured rather than rough-house manners, the housey by storm which often acting as a housey emotion equal stress, and in "No Matter How Good You Treat This World You Never Know." The center of female attractions was found in Blanch Thompson's assumption of the new school teacher. There was a large audience of admirers who ever saw Ada Overert Walker, or could notice the resemblance of the great artist of the 19th century to the audience now and the people hailed Blanche Thompson, a prima donna soubret beautiful to look upon and with a sense of dignity, a "Dear Old Southern Moon," sang with the school girls, too encores. The moonlight pace, with J. Homer Tutt was a nice dancing number, but Miss Thompson was solely at her best in "Mamjauna," an oriental song, assisted by J. Homer Tutt and the chorus. BLANCHE THOMPSON, The New Ada Overton It was the same tiding of a new generation. Few white people present had ever seen George Walker, the fashion plate of longevity as they looked upon a new, young artist, J. Homen Tutt, the slickest type they had ever seen in stitches, for nothing to the music of the cake walk tradition, all of the past but a fresh and invigorating scene, new to young theatergoers. Everything was nice they said in the lobby as the Precuneus musical and lobby as the Precuneus musical and dramatic representative strolled in the corridor of the lobby between the acts, where placards of many white actors were making a bid for the attention of a new desdous public.

After eating, he lights his apple with fire and with farsine seeing vision gazes into distant future. He is viewing his ideal. It may be the ideal home, a wife and child, but it is the ideal that keeps him digging. In every profession, every field of endeavor, it is the ideal for which we are the hope of ultimately attaining our ideal that keeps us striving. In Washington we idealists. So are we all we amount to anything or ever hope to count on us. Some of us live in the human breast*, and it is the anticipation of realizing our ideals that nourishes the source of this hope. Some ideals become losses the way. Some ideals become obscured, unintelligible, obliterated. Hope longed causes tears for nothing to hope for, we lose faith in God and make a tragic attempt to snuff out the which to glorify His name and lighten the way of others. Phantoms of our sleeping hours that are dispelled or disappear with the dawn. Our ideals are realities, our lives as us in life and live after we are dead. Heaven itself, after which we yearn with an insta-tion-longing, may well be termed the day. We fall in love, not with a man or a woman, but with a life that lifes toward destruction. it is the ideal the man sees that ignites the spark of genius, and leads to strength. It is the man who should fatter himself that a woman has fallen in love with him. He is not afraid of the world. Why else should they say, "Love is blind." Love is blind because it closes the weaknesses and sees only the ideal. In love as in all things else, we seldom realize our ideas, and instead substitute our ideas. If substitute fails to make good, then we have recourse to the divorce courts; and we use freedom to continue the search; and we use freedom to continue nally in our hearts that eventually we will find the one, our ideal. We singers and singers would cease to sing. The music of the master musicians would no longer inspire; art the painter would lose inspiration; art the genius no more exist. Stick to your ideal's. S.

MAHONEY'S MOBILE MINSTRELS. The show opened the season of 1916 at Statesboro, Ga., Monday, Feb. 7, 1916. The show is brand new from the stakes to the center poles. The parade consisted of forty people, a sixteen-piece band, and a large crowd. All costumes are bright yellow with white pearl buttons. Every person pleased with the show and the way it was put over years he has stood for all that is newest and best in colored theatricals. Jerry has few, if any, equals as a dancer and his best work was done with the Smart Set and the Pekin stock companies. I am greatly indebted to men like Jerry Mills, Dad Kelly and the late Sam Lucas, for what business. They were ever ready with a word of encouragement or instruction and their wide and varied experiences were always a source of inspiration. Frank Montgomery and his daly partner, Florence McClain, are head designers. His sketch is new, novel and up-to-date. Their success is assured. The Boldens, Harry and Hattie, were new to the patrons of the Grand, but they were one of the real features of the bill. They entertainers and a novelty in colored acts is all too rare. Harry does some wonderful dance, and he also plays the piano very effectively. Hattie is the only woman before the two girls to play fingerings. She also gives some realistic bird imitations with two fingers. The two have traveled with great success, and they out the New England states and Nova Scotia. They save their money and as a result they have a beautiful little lakes near Moridan, Conn. they have an ideal cottage, where they spend their summer months in one continual moonoon. Miss Emma Jackson, one of the valued members of the Smart Set company has quite regained her health and to join the company in Washington, D.C. --- Chas. Bougia, tenor singer and character artist, is with the Smart Set company, filling the place made vacant by the retirement of Julian Costello. Julian Costello, singer, dancer and character delimiter will soon appear in the new show with what new acting act of his own creation called the "Hawaiian Dancing Girl. He is a dancer of the lively and joyful one and the best imitators of the lamented Aida Overton Walker. Miss Louise Proctor, wife of Luke Scott, the talented character artist with the Smart Set Company, has been seriously ill for several days. During her absence from the company, she has the difficult "Dance of Death." Miss Carrie King has also been enacting understudy parts with credit. Miss "Billy" Young, the phenomenal contralto is now with the Smart Set company, a artistic worker and her voice adds greatly to the effectiveness of the chorus. Miss Ora Dunlap and Samuel Gray were united in the holy bonds of wedlock Wednesday, March 11. The wedding day was the popular minister of Quinn Chapel church, upon the stage of the Imperial people present were greatly interested in the ceremony. At its conclusion they showered rice upon the bride and groom, and they congratulate them and receive a small portion of the wedding cake. If the smoothness with which the ceremony unfolded, the future life Ora and Sam are to lead their life will indeed be a happy one. Concluding this week's engagement at the Victoria the Smart Set company finishes a run of five weeks in the city with the engagement. The company has greeted with enthusiastic crowds throughout the engagement. The company will play Cleveland, Pittsburgh and least for a series of return engagements. He says it is the show to please the people. Our first part is new and different: sweet singing and funny good music that are funny.

Miss Fanny Jenkins "When Angelus is Ringing," she puts the song over in a pleasing manner. Oscar Cooper "She Looks in the Goods, and when Miss Madeline Tree sings 'I Want to Linger,' she lets you know she is with the show. Then she sings 'She Looks in the Crazy About a Ragtime Minstrel Man,' and he acts the part. Now comes the charming soubrette, Miss Mabel Davies, who dates songs and is making good.

Three weeks of skating, ice-boating and hitting the snowy beam at 204, within two pounds of fighting weight. Before that time, they assert, the fight crown will have changed hands. SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., March 7.—The day broke cloudy over the camp and the snowy beam, Sulphur Spring followed by a heavy storm which continued throughout the greater part of the day. In the afternoon, but, contrary to his custom, ordered his breakfast before starting the days' outdoor work, and then hung around the hotel until 8 o'clock. At that hour he was asked if he was going to allow the storm to interfere with his training. "I'm going out on the road right now, old boy," and he started off alone. The favorite training stunt of champion Jess Willard in New York is jogging. He is like a schoolboy in that he is always wearing a jacket, the busy thoroughfares and the boutuards, and because of his size he is attracting unusual attention. The thousand people run to stare at the six-foot-six-foot runner, the runner is passed from mouth to mouth. Willard expects to train down to 250 pounds for his fight with Moran on March 25. NEW YORK.—A long ramble through Central park with his trainers opened the door and the champion's boxing, wrestling and weight exercise were carded for the afternoon show. Jack Hemple and the champion's punching bags, are beginning to show signs of wear and tear.

It is asserted by many that boxing extends the bout seriously and is not extinguished by the stamina and strength believed necessary to carry him through ten rounds a speed demanded of a boxer in the ring. Most of the criticism is heaped on the champion and his manager. Tom Jones. It is asserted that Jones does not try to realize anything but the monetary affair of the haunted each afternoon at the school box, few rounds each afternoon that a crowd of pay-as-you-enter fans may be separated from 25 on each Jones may be too confident or he may be working of the workings of this match than the alleged critics. That is yet to be decided. New York school kids are going to see the champion train. Tom Jones today gave permission to Superintendent Robert B. Berry to bring the schoolboy boxing fans to see the champion in action, but "not all them at once." Most of the people said it was a frame, but all of that is in the game. They say Willard hits like a jack ass but all of that has got to come to pass. The coach goes on the go and knows who will be the champion until the loser hits the floor. Take a tip from me a man like K. Jones, the man for the middleweight champion. All who heights will get the K, O, S. "TEXAS TOMMY" PUNCH. PHILALELPHIA, Feb. 29.—Johnny O'Leary, of Seattle, Wash., who claims the lightweight championship of Canterbury, Anglesea, over the slumberland route Saturday night, explained his "Texas to Anglesea," is the talk of pugilistic circles here.

Here is the dope on how he played the "Texas Tommy" on Solly Burns: Johnny rushed into a clinch, and in a second around him, he around. For an instant Burns's back was turned, and when he got back into his original position O'Leary slammed him with a hook. Burns went down and then fell into the third time he stayed down for keeps.

NEW ORLEANS, March 2—Ted Lewis today claimed the welterweight championship as a result of his victory over Dick the club in twenty rounds. Lewis had fifteen of the rounds by a big margin and only Stobe's cleverness saved him. Stobe's cleverness, Dick Bauer referred despite a protest from Lewis. BREEZY SPORTING CHIT-CHAT. (By Christy Mathewson.) When Charlie Chaplin was in New York, I met him and had several talks about him, and being a very likeable fellow. They tell a funny story about him, however. "Chaplin got $1,525 a week last year" said a moving story man to me one night. "Why not fifteen hundred flat?" I asked him, "Why the twenty-five?" "He said he wanted that to live on," replied my informant. Frank Moran claims he like the outdoor for training purposes where he can play and avoid climate. For that reason he goes to Saratoga. If Frank wanted to lead a rugged he should have lived some York area. York area would snap. Doc Cook would have thought he was discovering the north pole again after spending a little time in them. The local folk are all stirred up over the question of preparedness down here in Texas, and they argue it pro and con, and chew up a lot of toothpicks, and one guy, who sides with William Jennings Bryan, Henry Ford and the other pacifists, although William Jennings and Henry don't allow him yet, and all other people. "All this talk about preparedness makes me tense like a dog. Who could you know there’s hardly a twelve-year-old boy down in this country who can’t take a rifle and shoot a squirrel down in the woods, fight an armor in the nose every time. Wait until some of those Europeans wade into this sample of shooting. That’ll stop them, I think. It now looks as if there were no truth in the report that Jess Willard might be too proud to fight. Irvin Shrewsbury Cobb, the war correspondent, after-dinner speaker and researcher, said the war would last two years more. Shortly after he interviewed Lord Kitchener at which time Kitchener said the war would last two years more. He overheard two southern darkies on a street car discussing the war. The war is going to last two years more. "Shucks, man, how do you know that the war is going to last two years?" I guess I know it," said the first. "Didn’t I read in the newspapers the other day where the king of Europe hit Cobb it would last two years more?" KID HOY LOOKING FOR BOUT.

HEDGES PICKS UP FORTUNE Former St. Louis President Made $300,000 on $30,000—Tinker Pays Fielder Jones a Big Compliment. Players' Fraternity Wants All on Water Wagon. Frank Moran's victory over Jim Coffey in New York recently entitles the Pittsburgh heavyweight to first chance against Champion Jess Willard. Just what chance Moran has against the big champion is questionable. Willard's size, compared to that of Moran, gives the former a big advantage. Moran may not be able to land on the champion with any effectiveness, and if Willard fought as well as he did against Johnson he ought not have much trouble disposing of Moran. Moran has easily proved his superiority over Coffey. He has scored knockouts over him twice in twelve weeks, and this virtually eliminates the Irish fighter from all consideration so far as the championship is concerned. There has been such a variance in the published records of Fred Fulton that there really is no good line on the western heavyweight, and it will be necessary for him to meet several of the title aspirants before his value can be reckoned. The record of Fulton, which gives him twenty-one knockouts in twenty-seven battles, has been at lacked, and it is charged that several of the wins which are scored in his favor were actually just the reverse. It is claimed Bob Hedges, former president of the St. Louis Browns, made a profit of $300,000 on an investment of $20,000 in the club, and yet the Browns, during the Hedges reign, never won a pennant and usually finished in the second division. After getting rid of McAleer, in 1909, Hedges experimented with O'Connor, who just the other day was awarded $5,000 in salary due him in 1910. Stovall, Wallace and Rickey followed in order, and none of them made good. No man in baseball thinks more of the ability of Fielder Jones as a manager than Joe Tinker, now the manager of the Cubs. Tinker played with the Cubs when the Sox, with Jones as manager, beat them in the world series of 1906. Last year Tinker's Whales and Jones' St. Louis Feds fought it out for the pennant nearly all the year. Here is a compliment Tinker pays to Jones: "Jones certainly is one mystery. I had some men on my team that had been on Jones," and I asked them what he did that made them winners. They answered, "Nothing." They claimed he never said anything to them, but he gave a lot of sigms. He seemed to be able to divine where the batter was going to hit, and he had his infielders stationed there. "And he certainly is a wizard when it comes to handling pitchers. He never picks the wrong one, and he can tell the exact moment to remove them. Jones is a believer in a small pitching staff too. He doesn't want eight or ten twirling hung around. He wants three or four effective men, and he's right, as he usually is." LOOK OUT FOR MACK. Harry Davis States Athletics Will Have Great Team In 1917. Harry Davis, Connie Mack's right hand man, in an interview in Kansas City the other day said: "Connie Mack will have a real pennant contender in 1917 and maybe next year. I know. I've seen what he has, and I know what he is going to have. He is building up another championship team." It would be at all surprising if Davis were making a real prediction in this statement, for the rumor has been current for some time that Mack would have a real ball team next season, though he expects to have a better one in 1917. Dallas to Have Big Stadium. A great stadium for all kinds of amateur athletic sports to be erected and maintained by the city of Dallas. Tex., is one of the plans of the present city government there. It is planned to erect a structure with a seating capacity of 20,000 at a cost approximately of $100,000. Tacoma, Wash., has a municipal stadium that will seat 32,000 and San Diego one with a capacity of 28,000. Kennel Club Increases Title Points.

Expert In Any Game Thinker Who Calculates at Least Two Moves In Advance—Headwork Equal to Fists. Strenuous Game of Water Polo Is Growing In Popularity. "Apply the principle of chess—think a couple of moves ahead all the time—and you have the secret of success of the big men in nearly every game in the calendar of sport," is the concise expression of opinion as given by Charles A. Dean, ex-president of the Central Association of the Amateur Athletic Union. That Charles knows whereof he speaks there can be no reasonable doubt, inasmuch as he has referred in nearly every sport extant. Continuing, Mr. Dean said: "The dub in basketball has to stop and think what he is going to do with it when the ball is passed to him. The expert, the man who stands out in the game, is the one who knows what his next two or three moves will be. He does not hesitate when the play comes to him. He is the quick thinker, the analytical thinker, and as such he has a great advantage over his fellows of less nimble wits and less loresight. Builds Advance Detenses. "The chess master is not puzzling over the present. He is building up an attack and a defense, and to do this his mind is far ahead of the men in their positions on the board. Your successful big league baseball manager is planning his battle all the time. It is not necessarily inside baseball that he is using, and he is taking advantage of the breaks, just as the chess master is doing, but in the second inning he is projecting himself into the third and fourth and fifth innings. He is the manager who wins baseball games. "On the gridiron it is the captain or coach who makes his plan of battle in the first period for the third quarter that has the edge. The boxer who goes into the ring figuring ahead is the one who keeps at his mode of attack and wins with it. In golf the man who can think only of the mistakes of the present is the one who must suffer in the future at the hands of the man who forgets his errors and builds for the succeeding hole. "Take the game of water polo as it is played at present. It is coming into more popularity than the old slam bang, drowning, neck breaking, Roman holiday style of polo ever enjoyed, and it is all because this new game brings out more mental effort than the old one and just as much physical exertion. "In this game it is a pleasure to see Hebner and McGillivray and others of the national championship I. A. C. team in action because of their supreme co-ordination of mind and muscle. They are planning ahead, playing the game of chess in water all the time. When 'Oats' McGillivray or Harry Hebner gets the ball it does not stay in his hands. He is thinking all the time, working out forms of attack and defense, and his team play shows it. "This is just as true of one sport as it is of another. No man in any game can rise to the top unless he uses his head more than his hands and muscles. In the track and field game I have seen many a superb physical but unintelligent runner beaten by the less developed man because the latter uses his gray matter. He planned his race: his ego was a couple of jumps ahead of his toes all the time. In swimming every muscle works, but with all the muscles going the mere physical machine is not a winner if its headquarters is not doing the right sort of directing. Headwork Equal to Fists. "Just as it is true that the lawyer or the physician or surgeon or business man must be on his toes, figuratively speaking, on the alert the time, always looking into the future, always and forever using his brains, so it is a fact that the man in professional or amateur sport must eliminate the ivory from his makeup. Many and many a wonderful boxer has sprung up, held the spot light for awhile, then descended into utter oblivion, while another has come up and stayed there. The boxer who gets the decisions, the laurels and the money is the one who mauls with his brains just about twice as fast as he does with his fist."
