All Washington, D.C. ballots must be submitted a Saturday to learn that the election board, having in charge the final adjudication of the primary, will decide the decision of the returning board, which had declared Frank J. Hogan and Robert L. Delegates to the Republican National Convention, to be held June 7 at Chicago. The count of the returns will be the returning board, headed by George C. Gertman, showed 5,614 for Hogan and 4,919 for Delegates and 529 for Bradshaw and Marshall. Mr. Gertman and his colleague, the members of the board, and declared the Hogan-Williston ticket entitled to the certificate of election. Charges of fraud were narrowly averaged on the night of the election. Many ballots were rejected as not in compliance with the law whatever law on the primary ballot was District 1. The Bradshaw-Marshall followers decided that the convention method was the legal way to select delegates; so about the 9th they held a "convention" at True Reformers' Hall and named Bradshaw and Marshall as the bona fide representatives of the people for the Chicago convention. The Chase-Miller people, charging that the ba'ots thrown out held their majority. The election board, of which Charles Linkins is chairman, acting presumably upon the advice of the national committee, sustained the claim of the Chase-Millerites, and has issued the certificate to them. The Hogan-Willston combine will carry the case to the committee on credentials at Chicago, and they say they have not the slightest doubt that they will be seated, backed by the vote of the sovereign citizens of the District. The politicians seem to be of the opinion that the milk in the coconut is the apparent rivalry between Frank J. Hogan and Chapin Brown, the present incumbent, for the influential post of national committeeman of the District. The Linkins reversal of the Gertman returning board is the talk of the town and the case will be one of the most interesting of the contests that will be heard at Chicago. The Bradshaw-Marshall adherents will mix in and make it a three-cornered affair. Prof. Miller Speaks for Tuskegee Endowment Fund. The Church of Our Redeemer (Lutheran), of which Rev. D. E.

Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, D.C., announces that Mr. Watt Terry, the famous Negro capitalist and successful business man, of Brockton, Mass., will deliver the commencement address at the Training School. This is one of the most remarkable examples of a self-made man the race has put forth since emancipation. Beginning as a day laborer, on a pittance, he put his muscle and wits to work. By dint of perseverance, saving and shrewdness, he has climbed theTreasury楼, and has made a full account of the fortunes of his holdings, compare favorably with those of any individual citizen of the city of Brockton, and he pays taxes on fully a half million of dollars. The story of his wonderful rise was told at the Chicago meeting of the National Negro Business Council, and he is known as the rainbow of the rainbow of his many refused to credit his statements, modestly as they were uttered by Mr. Terry. At the suggestion of Dr. Washington, a committee was appointed to investigate the matter. The wires were kept busy for an evening between Chichester and Brockton, and the morning everything Mr. Terry had told the day before was shifted by messages from the mayor of Brockton, members of the city council and municipal officials who had charge of the bureau of taxes and assessments.

Howard, of Harrisburg, Pa., deputy United States marshal for the District of Columbia, left Tuesday for Innsbruck, Ind., to provide over a conference of the executive committee of the National Negro Democratic League. As Bishop Alexander Walters, the elective head of the organization, is kept busy with church affairs, the leadership has devolved upon Mr. Howard—and right royalty is he filling the arduous position. It is Mr. Howard's idea that the time to address the issue of the St. Louis convention with reference to the Negro voters of the country is now—not to wait until the delegates are in convention assembled, the platform adopted and the ticket named. The number of colored Wilsonites at Indianapolis is not expected to be large—it is not a convention, but simply a conference that may be held in the executive committee of the National League, to formulate an address to the platform committee at St. Louis and the national committee, and to name a date for the annual meeting and the election of officers for the ensuing year.

Hawkins, of Washington, D. C., had disregarded the recommendation of the Bishops' Council to pay him $600, as publisher of the Southern Christian Recorder. But on the other hand, Hawkins had paid the Rev. Lowe, manager of the book concern, $1,350 per year for four years, which was directly in opposition to wishes of the conference. These charges were brought out in Mr. Bryant's report. Prof. Hawkins, answering the charges, hinted at irregularities in the accounts of the first and second changes that Allen had sold the Southern Christian Recorder to Bryant for $1,000, and that he, Hawkins, was justified in paying Rev. J. I. Lowe because a decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court made Manager Lowe an employee of the General Conference. The cases were referred to the Episcopal commitment. "The Blue Book" of the Church Extension Society under the direction of Matthew Watson, said that the society has issued a report, 17.93.179, which suspended $117,431.72 in aiding churches in every state of the Union, and that the society has assets valued at $366,881.55. The report also issued a Union and the Allen Christian Endeavor League combined in a quadrennial celebration on Wednesday evening at the Allen Christian Endeavor School and various other societies. Those delegates who opposed Roosevelt felt good on Thursday when the Roosevelt claiming a previous engagement. A chorus of "Amens" were heard when the secretary read the message. The Roosevelt claimed that the Christian Endeavor, showed that in his report that $9,368.96 was raised for the work and that $1,613.27 was campaign now being promoted at the Anti-Saloon League, the W. C. T. U. and other kindred organizations. And you are happy to report that we have succeeded in this a saloonless nation by 1920. Lynching will be made a Federal crime if the plans of the delegates are not being made to be being the Congress by a commission appointed Friday as a result of a motion by Blah- and-Tobacco-the-Republic Resolution offered by Dr. G. Robinson. Both were adopted unanimously. Rev. S. H. Howard, of Nashville, was ruled off the hour when he attended the process of the session of the rounds that he had been expelled since the meeting of the last quadrennial. The laymen's forced motion was the most most rousing meeting Friday night. Prof. C. H. Johnson, of Wilberforce, O., was the principal speaker. Women's day was the first of the day and Foreign Missionary Societies and the Parent Mite Missionary Society at the Olympic Theater and Mrs. Mary J. Simmons, of Charleston, S. C., presided. Prominent among the speakers were Dr. Evelyn Coppin. Miss Julia Jones, Dr. J. J. Antistad, of Debrand, S. C., and Mrs. Nora Taylor, who spoke at the meeting of the House of Commons on the 1st of the 19th of April 1944, and Mrs. T. A. Petition was presented to the General Conference by the women's society of the church, asking for separatism and the future of the family. Mr. Thomas Read, Bishop John Hurst, of Florida, presided on Saturday. After the reading of the minutes an attempt was made to push round the session of the Congress, according to several of the delegates, would have pledged the conference to the program of preparedness advocating the process of the session of the day. Mr. C. H. Church, a editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, introduced a resolution, pledging the delegates to industrial, economic management, and the sale of the company and the阵力，which was not only a man of the type who would declare for a program of the kind and the special intention ensured when Bishop Hurst ruled that the resolution was in the hands of the committee on resolutions and would help to help the order. The decision was received the factional fight that began when an invitation was extended to Colonel Roosevelt to address the con The anti-Roosevelt forces contended that the adoption of the constitution would be a practical indulgence, the Colonel for president. The Roosevelt will be adopted as soon as it is re- port out. BRUNSIG, GA. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ducted by Rev. L. A. McInyre, assisted by the Rev. M. A.

It's about the headache. Yet his head is not so long. Ev'ry longhead fellow, reader, Isn't always most well head; A lunatic in the bug house May have a very long head. But say, don't miss the lesson here, The good moral of the song: The fellow with the longest head Often is the most headlong: "That fellow has a long head. He's some thinker—he's got a head on his shoulders." The Highway Man heard just a few years ago, and thought he would say a word on on long-headed folk. But just as he got it all fixed up in his mind, just as he thought comium had been fixed up and arranged in honor of the long-headed variety of mankind, along comes a fellow that he is headlong. Turns the dope upside down as they say in things sporified. Now we've go to change our headache—like these long-head and headlong folk. We know a fellow with a reasonable long head; at least he is given credit for his ability to handle him much and Miss Opportunity braced things considerably. Now this fellow works with a troop of boys and girls who have been held in a mail box longed. There's a mail box in this shop, this place of work, and every day they come in and are handed to him. So it happened that our friend sauntered to the old familiar mail box corner one Saturday and there happened to him. It read something like this: "Dear Mr., I want to tell you I haven't had a talk with you for fear someone might see me. Meet me at the corner of Seventh and Broad tonight." How this long-headed fellow's heart thrilled. It seemed as if each beat of his heart was like unto sledge hammering. Remember, remember, remember, gentle reader, there was no name signed to the missive. But our friend surmised that the prettiest girl in the room was to catch him as Uncle Sam is to catch Villa. Rushing home he he "dikes up" and gets ready for the home room. "She comes in," she says. Now the point the Highway Man is trying to make is this: Long-headed people are sometimes head-long people who are much smaller in size of his head. Phrenologists say that they can. We are not going to try to dispute them, but Mr. Phrenologists can't convince us that every guy with a head is immune from long-headedness. Now, perhaps you will say that the young fellow in question wasn't head-long. He simply wanted to carry out a task that was not his thing. "Most any adventurous chap would have done that for the fun of it," you say. But Highway Man begs to differ. We claim that he acted mediatedly and deliberately in a headlong man- DALLAS. TEXAS.

On Monday he went to another one there. It read like this: "Dear Mr. : You failed to come on time. I failed to see you; you missed the 15 cents in the box for me—10 cents for car fare and 5 cents for the movies. "Yours" "There you are. Note number two. Now you are in an envelope (no name, mind you), puts it in the usual mail box. It is taken out by "her" He is still wearing a white shirt. He has solicited the help of another fellow to help him find out who "she" is. Now isn't that head-long business? You now must see jokey the Highway Man's woman? That the whom he has asked to shadow the mysterious "woman" is the very "woman" who is the "woman" him. It has cost him only 15 cents thus far. How much more we do not know. But any fellow who will let just the man want to see him—just a thought—ought not to get out of the real thing for less than $1,500. But women folk will make you act like they are in their shoes? Sometimes a guy not only is heddling but headless —loses his head. O yes, many of you who read these lines have lost your head several times. It does not matter how long-headed you may be, the head is still very high head; or it may be a matter of swell head—you act headlong sometimes. They accuse Roosevelt of being long and he has a pretty good size Many careers have been blighted because of headlongness. Some people may have a good thing to possess more of, but they don't have the sense to guide them. Some people have more sense than they can command. It isn't a good thing to possess more of, but you don't have the sense to guide them. Highway Man would pitify the condition of some colored people he knows if they had a good sense of what they were. Some people who have unmeasured quantities of sense but they don't know what to do with them. What they have is colored diamonds to the lap of a child? Nobody expects the child to do anything but play with them. Some men just as much in need of something today as they ever were. They have to handle them for them. If he acts all, he acts headlongly. If he has lots of sense, he's a fool. Not be afraid of a fool. A fool to be crazy; and you don't have to be crazy to be a fool. Not that. You have a fool to be crazy; and you don't have to do with it. He's headlong. His head may be ever so long. His brains may weigh ever so much, but his long head is headlong. He's headlong. Saul and Rehobus had long heads. Louis XIV had a long head. Edgar Allen Poe, and even Jack Johnson, had long heads. How headlong were they? You may have the speed, the endurance and an excellent assortment of experiences. You can also lose the game if you are more apt to lose the game.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1916. Summer is on in a good way in these parts. Straw hats have been ordered by "whom it concerns." Tickets for the Chicago convention are quoted at exceedingly high prices. But look at the quality of the show. The M. E. church has done by the colored brethren about as much as could be expected. Churches are no more than individuals, no better than individuals. The sentiment of the members at home is not different to the members when at church. We are not making an excuse for any supposed shortcomings concerning Negro bishops in the M. E. church. We are making a plea for honesty. Churches beyond the religious aspect are simply social organizations. The M. E. general conference at Saratoga, N. Y., elected Rev. Alexander P. Camphor, of Birmingham, Ala., missionary bishop for the African work. The new bishop will succeed Bishop J. B. Scott, who recently returned from that field of labor. Bishop Camphor at present is president of Central Alabama College at Birmingham. He has had experience in Liberia as president of a college at Monrovia. He was vice consul-general to correspondence to John 1807. His acquaintance with the people and his willingness to return to them is an assurance that he will make the best of the situation. The National Training School, Durham, N.C., extends a cordial invitation to the heads of universities, colleges and secondary schools for the education and training of colored people in the United States to be the guests of the school November 21-24, 1916, for the purpose of conferences, closed unity and understanding of the needs and educational requirements of the colored people. This is according to a program sent out by the institution to question its importance are down for discussion. Among them are. What is the opinion of the educators themselves in regard to the duplication of work in schools in the various communities? Has it been hurtful, unwise and wasteful? What plans ought to be fostered to correct the evil? To what extent should classes devoted to teacher training be encouraged? How and where located? What system should be devised to meet the requirements of the rural teacher? What should be the standard of the university, college, normal school, teacher training and secondary schools? How should students be received from one to the other? To what extent should religious instruction be carried on in the various schools? Should there be a general clearing-house for aid for Negro schools? Is the aid given by the various funds and boards to Negro education wise, economical and helpful? The conference bids fair to be far The conference bids fair to be far reaching in its effects. Guests will be entertained free of charge by the National Training School. The Collier's Magazine in its own estimation has outgrown the Negro's necessity. That is, it no longer cares for their patronage; and it has had the nerve to say so, the pity of it all. It is true that, that publication does not draw the lure merely on the Negroes. It does not care for barbers, porters, soldiers and others of the plebeik lilk Ye gods, on what meat has it fed that it crows so lustfully? There was a time when that publication was humble enough, seeking its dollars from any old source. Perhaps it is not to the interest of high class publications to see them circulating in the highways and byways. If this be true, far be it from us to be a millstone about their necks. It is the inconsistency of the order that calls forth our plaint. In some parks in some southern cities, it is said, one meets with signs reading; "Dogs and Negroes Not Allowed." This may be unconscious maliciousness, but malicious just the same, giving it out plainly enough that there is but little difference between dogs and Negroes. This publication, and which has been joined by another in the city of Chicago, where opportunity and privileges are said to be the widest, has singled out the Negroes, one race, only one, rating them as undesirable alongside porters, barbers, soldiers and so forth. We do not speak of these classes in the sense of contempt. Our race is mainly made up of common people. But we do have many whom we think are eligible to the subscription books of any publication. We like to think of the better class white people trying to be fair in this race warfare, and which is not chargeable to them, at least these of the present day. We do not get away from the fact that the race question is abroad in the land and that it is imperative on the part of many concerns to do peculiar things—things that cannot be construed otherwise than insults to a given people. But in the name of humanity and the Christ spirit which are the keystone of this country's splendid growth and prosperity these things should not go further than is absolutely warranted by the necessity. We would have no quarrel with the discriminative journals if they eliminated in common certain classes, albeit a very ugly thing to do, thereby showing respect for Negroes who are entitled to be considered as desirables owing to fitness measured by the best tests. In other words our race is sufficiently eliminated when the line is drawn on porters, barbers, waiters and the rest of them. What profitif a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul? If men are unreasonable, cruel, forgetting the humanity of other men, they have seared their finer parts, deadening the capacity for that fine sense of justice without which life does not mean, in the instance, standing alone against a unanimous opposing attitude. It means conceding as much as may be warranted by the situation. The magazine discrimination is the most senseless and needless thing that has come to light. THE REAL HAITI Dr. A. M. Moore is revealing the real Haiti little by little. Some of us who proceeded to throw fits owing to the occupation by our government will perhaps, feel a bit ashamed of their ravings when they get the whole truth. Dr. Moore on "made to order revolutions" is interesting from the viewpoint of the curious. Says he: "The bank would agree to furnish the funds on a hundred per cent basis, when the revolution succeeded, which would be taken up with this and the promise of office, men were hired and furnished arms, men were hired and furnished arms, would be sent to all parts of the island to muster an army to march on the president's palace and demand him to indicate, that the crowd was sufficiently prepared to help his troops, which would bring an endless siege. On another occasion they placed a bomb in the palace and the president and another and eighty of his soldiers, who were guarding him." Speaking of Port Au Prince the writer says: "There is not a factory in it, and a man's wages is about twenty cents per day, and this class is in straight-line work, and this class. They must either revolt or work. "The thing that Haiti needs most is a rich reward of returns on investment, and give employment to the natives will be a public benefactor and reap a rich reward of returns on investment, of what the doctor wants, a bit romantic due perhaps to his mixture of facts, not making clear always the pictures he wishes to show. His articles are rich in the content, nevertheless, as will be noted in the above. He is rendering fine service, the first of the kind in spite of the respect the race has had for that country. AS TO THE CONSTITUTION. The Citizens' League of Indiana, which is furthering the new constitution sentiment, has asked The Freeman twice to give an expression as it concerns the need of a new constitution for the state of Indiana. We avoided the question the first time because of its importance and the importance of an answer which would be construed as reflecting the sentiment of the race, or which, at least, would be considered in the best interest of the race as we viewed it. Our race needs to approach questions of constitutions most prayerfully. It is with some such feeling that we now voice our hopes and fears of a revised set of fundamental laws for the state. We hold with those who are most interested in a new constitution that communities in their growth do out-run laws that are laid down at the beginning. Every two years the legislature meets, and one can see by the number of new laws made and the vastly greater number introduced that there have been growing needs. There is not the same need for new general governmental principles, but it stands to reason that in time even these be come insufficient and obsolete. View with the majority of the State publications, answering "Yes" to the question: "Do we need any constitutional changes in Indiana?" and "Are you in favor of a constitutional convention?" The fear is that the constitution convention may see fit to tinker with the suffrage question, or the race question in such a way as to be convincing of hostility towards the Negroes. And when answering "Yes," to those questions we do so with a sort of mental reservation and which, we hope, will be saving to our conscience in event of the worst on this phase. There are some imperative needs for a new Constitution. The question of woman's suffrage is one of them. Our race demand is, that no special reference be made to us. We certainly could not be expected to stand for a constitution which has to do with the race question. When viewed rightly, looking it up one side and down the other, in spite of the grand orders of men, lodges and councils, one must concede that those organizations which are made up of the remnants of war are the most profound in their origin. Some organizations boast of their antiquity and terror producing initiation, of their fine rites and rituals, and not without reason. But who is it that has spoken all of what may be said of the "ceremonies" incident to our Grand Army of the Republic, Napoleon's Old Guard and similar bodies of men? What may be said of the initiation into these orders where death is more than a semblance? Says Kipling: When you're left on Afghanistan's plains, An' the women come, out to cut up your remains, Just roll to your rifle and' blow out An' go to your Gawd like a soldier! Go, go, go, like a soldier, Go, go, go, like a soldier And as it was on the plains of Afghanistan it was elsewhere. If not the knives of barbarous women it were gnawing hunger, burning thirst, racking pains, the pitiless elements—prelude to the festival of death. Those left to tell the tale make for a brotherhood which for binding influences is without parallel among the sons of men—bound by ties that are as frightful as the conception of the last judgment—the ghosts of dead men. In the language of Othello we love these men for the dangers that they passed, and because they staked their all that we might live, thus exemplifying the Master: "Greater love hath no man than this: That a man lay down his life for his friends." Since war was introduced into the world even to the time when Miltonic THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Angels plunged headlong down, down to chaos, men have sung of it in their best strains. They have added ever to the description of the fiery crucibles through which men have passed, making for sublime orders whose leadership is war's terrible caprice. How dies the brave? And thus he died that. Gloomy night. No friends or kindred near To wize the death damp from the brow. Of the dying volunteers. Course: Birdie Lee Slaughter, Louisville, a remarkable book, "Emotion in Religion," by Rev. William T. Amiger, D.D., LLD., president State University, Louisville, K. This subject of emotional work is applied to need is the only one of its kind. It has been reviewed by some of the greatest scholars of the world. The outline first appeared in the English Press, and has been completed and copyrighted, and a certificate of copyright registration has been received from the Library of Congress as the book will soon leave the press. A copy is to be sent to the Negro Newspapers, their book review It was somebody's darling—dying that night, and whose bleached bones may yet infest the fields. Old Kaspar's plowshare turned them out—skulls of dead men, and of which little Peterkin inquired, what it was all about? One is profoundly touched by the youth's saying innocence. In other words, need it to have been? It might not have been. It is enough to know that these men suffered and died in their country's cause, taking stock in the theory of the beautiful Marseillaise: Ye sons of freedom, wake to glory; Hark! Hark! What myriads bid you please. Your children, wives and grandires hoaray. Behold their tears and hear their cries. Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding, with hireling hosts, a ruffian band. Achilles, the warrior, the warrior. While peace and liberty lie bleeding? To arms, to arms! ye brave! The avenging sword unsheath! March on! March on! All hearts resolved On victory or death. How sleeps the dead? The burial of Sir John Moore is a touching reply: We buried him darkly at dead of night. The sea with our bayonets turning. By the struggling sunbeam's misty light And the lanthorn dimly burning. Slowly and sadly we laid him down. From the field of his fame and glory; We carved not a line, and we raised not a stump. But we left him alone with his glory. Beyond the indescribable human suffering war has a lesser woe, but which is horror for the days of peace. Sherman marched to the sea leaving in his wake one long black streak of desolation, disappeared, despoiled all Italy of its art wealth, and sent it home to Paris. We struck Belgium and Poland when bread became the first object of life. Industrialism during war becomes topsy-turvy, and as it is so beautifully told by Macaulay: The harvests of Arretium This year old men shall reap; This year old men shall reap; This year young boys in Umbro Shall plush the bruising sheep, And in the wats of Luna This year the must shall foam About the white feet of laughing girls. While their sires marched to Rome It would be mean in us to attempt to rehearse the causes which led up to our own great war. Our dear land was rent asunder, and a necessity according to the circumstances. It is now rejoined 'neath the folds of the flag that sagged and desponded as weeping willows in the unhappy days. Nothing lingers in the minds of the thoughtful except the tenderest memories for the living and the dead who took part in the great national tragedy. Our thoughts are with the Northern men, but those of the South are no less heroes from their viewpoint. Who was wrong? Who was right? It does not matter. They were both right according to their convictions and consciences. It is left to the South to honor its heroes as it chooses. We honor ours as usual by our best tokens of respect. God has sent his flowers, the angels of the fields, and his children, their counterpart, and who will scatter full and free in remembrance of them. Old men, the erstwhile comrades of those who now are the ants of the sod, willotter fries to the tune of fife and drum and gather about the lowly mounds, and again shed tears and strew Gomorra imminence while Old Glory canes ever all. The canon's palpation forth its awful music, sweet as the annunciation to the lonely few who awaited the coming of the world's Deliverer—the stern pronouncement of the rebirth, making for an order of patriotic divinities under whatsoever names. Men and women will be there, onlookers and partakers in the memorial ceremonies who will as usual be as benedictions to the human sacrifices, living and dead. Ah! never shall the land forget the life blood of her brave- Gushed warm with hope and courage Upon the soil they fought to save. STATE UNIVERSITY COMMENCE MENT AT MACAULAY THEATRE —INTERESTING EXERCISES. A New Book By Rev. Dr. Wm. T. Amig- ron-Hon. John C. Dancy. Elected Secretary of Church Extension- Kentucky Negro Educational Asso- ciation (By Hardin Tolbert.) Course: Birdie Lee Slaughter, Louisville. A remarkable book, "Emotion in Religion," by Rev. William T. Amiger, D.D., L.D., president State University, Louisville. Ky. This subject of emotion has appeared in the early 1960s, and it has been reviewed by some of the greatest scholars of the world. The outline first appeared in pamphlet form in 1915. It has since been completed and copyrighted, and a indicate of copyright has been given to the Library of Congress as the book will soon leave the press. A copy is to be sent to the Negro Newspapers, their book review department, Rev. W. D. Powell, a white minister under the caption, "Keith" in the "Baptists." A "Keith" in this pamphlet he paid the following tribute to the author, educator and lecturer: "The president, Rev. W. T. Amiger, is a man of modest manner, sterling worth, genuine learning character. He has from the evidence of the age of all who know him. An illustration of his ideas of education is found in his own daughter, a girl of about seventeen who at commencement played without difficulty. A chopin section on the work with artful skill and a short afterward work, for the above post graduate diploma in domestic science. The dozen speakers of orations [Name] President W. T. Amiger, D. D., LL. D. of State University and author of "Emotion and Religion." exhibited a real marvel. Taking them all in a real, considering matters and describing them in a real school speeches that surpassed these. The speaking itself was superb and disclosed a training in expression (not evidence of a mastery of that was evidence of a masterful teaching) impressed with the need for equipment in this school. They are doing a great work that merits the approval of the state and Kentucky. We have in this school a means of the highest service to the state and the Baptist Denomination. Hon. John C. Dancy, layman, delegate to the A. M. E. Zion conference, was elected head of the U.S. and was ever the chief collector of the port of Wilmington, N.C., and later was register of deeds of the district of the city of New York. He was the position, and were he a minister with such eloquent delivery and clear articulation combined with his brilliant and unceasing interest in the matter of the court would be one of the most eligible men for the bishopric and whose election would be very easy. He was born in 1840, the first of the major training at Howard University and was the fortunate recipient of being�pronic of the school which he had received from the school of the other of the Zion church for forty-one years, and for thirty-one years an office holder, having been manager of the Star of the State of New York, and the retary member of the Examining Board of Methodists of the World. He had the proud distinction of presiding over the state of the United States and even to enjoy such a high distinction. The Honorable John C. Dancy, in the equity of the U.S. and the care of G.O.P. For five times he has been honored as delegate-at-large to the National Republican convention, and was ever the leader of the U.S. and the great leader of the American Association of the People and the Government positions under President Cleveland, Roosevelt and The House of Representatives. He has been a speaker of the state of New York, and has the good pleasure of answering Governor A. O. Stanley, in the reply to the conference, brought the house down in applause. --- The Kentucky Reporter, a weekly journal edited by Mr. R. T. Berry, put another great merical and honorable moment of this city, by running a daily paper for the general conference of the Kentucky Republican convention in session here for fourteen days. The Kentucky Reporter did not receive a donation from the conference, during the deadlock of the bishop's race, two weeks earlier, in a contest for berry Berry owns his own plant and has all the facilities to do business, because he is in many of the larger cities, but for the first time of ever seeing a Negro daily, six columns, four pages is recorded in the enthusiasm of the conference, and the latest war news right according to the enthusiasm of the respondent of the Negro daily, helping to cover the news of the city. A large number of papers each night were sold on the financial market. It was one of the biggest financial events undertaken in the city.

The K. of P. chancellor race is the curbstone and street talk. There are various factions, administration and undermining their forces together. "Big Chief," George H. Minnis, of Lexington, is the recognized contingent against the chancellor race against a people, whose friends has him in the race for the chancellorship. Mr. Minnis is a blacksmith by trade, a politician of the state of Virginia, and a well-known alert with progressive ideas. He is an original thinker. Bundy, Frank Brown, Linsey, Garner and a other family are the most well-known and a fathering cause of George L. V. Washington for chancellorship. They are against the administration and the legalism of their local paper. They have not produced anything tangible yet. It is an old adage that he who can not produce the following has not competed with a criticize. Lawyer W. H. Wright, the man who has managed big business and knows how it is done and has done, is a man who has the power to do the well. He is the child for the university.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW By Sylvester Russell "DARKTOWN JOURNAL" AND "THE KIDNAPPING CASE." Billy King in the Title Roles. The Elks' ball did not prevent a large outpouring at the Grand to see King Emily Darktown journal face face. King Emily Darktown journal face face which that last season comedies and plays even draw bigger this season, which that last season comedies and plays even draw bigger this season, where Billy King an old-time gentleman, incidentally meets a pretty lady reporter on the street and follows her, who buys out the establishment between numerous complications, which offer generous amusements and also sang "In My Place of Business," with greater effect than ever. Howard Kelby out, was good but over dignified and too handsome for the part. Georgia Kelly intohosh, as the indignant woman who came to whip the editor, was a nice scene for both of the stars. Estelle Walker unusual. Billy Walker, who was made up similar to the last play, was good and Gertrude Saunders presented. White vaudeville acts presented Edgar & balel several feet away. Frank & May, who their real names, were good juggernauts, but lesslessly. Lewis & Chapin, in an apogetic odd humor act, which moved slow, could have been better, as both are good dancers and the man a good The last half of last week presented "The Kidnapping Case, a farce com- munation," in the last week's court. Billy King, who played an old- time judge, in his characteristic vein and complicity of humor from the people and the people who played the path of high. Hattie McIntosh, as the lady lawyer, displayed rare artistic grace and the art of the lawyer. He Howard Kelly, the lawyer, in the op- posite also displayed a marked degree of like capability. Georgia Kelly, from the court, was a capable actress as true to nature as a Estetis Harris, as Miss America's Frederick Harris, is the best work in the part of the buxom kid- napped widow, who accused the little boy, who was killed when who had been married five times. Billy Walker, who was equal to the demands of the consumptive in appearance. Although the Brooks, as the frail mother, was realistic in her impersonation. Gertrude Saunders, as the pretty young woman was a cabaret singer witness, filled the bill Sam Gardner, as the "cop," has such an effect as he was soوگب to the old family. He would be to sit by a super, were jurists the white vaudeville, and were the first of the world's most of the most a strong sketch on a street scene in a country town, which was legitimate and perfect. The in a case where the person is not in a case where the person is not in a case where the person is well with good comedy humor. Healy and his piano, were fair but the boy danced well, along with his the boy's ex-�ress direction Sunday night; the boy proved to be a very clever animated dancer and the girl was good and the girl military introduction. STRAINE & BAILEY'S COMEDY CO AT NEW MONOGRAM. Tim Moore Furnishes Fun. "Mose's Entrance Into Society," in short, was a real musical comedy and would have been completely legitimate the step of the play to himself in the scene instead of to the audience, but Elwood Brown was an good Strainer as the date was good. Gertrude Brown were both satisfactory. Elwood Brown was an excellent singer and dancer, was fair as the waiter. There was a good singing chorus and the music was all rich. Josie Graham, Littleton, Edna Young are also with the show. Billy Mills in "The Stranded Actor" At the Monogram Everybody knows that Billy Mills is one of the funny black face comedians and as the soft fellow who gave all his away to pretty girls, furried and furious, he gave a farce comedy of small stage amusement. The people in support were Maud Freibey and Lena Wilson, who were the stars of the show. Cross was a good straight, and Clarence Greer, who had a cold and had to omit his tenor solo, did well in a rover's character. Flossy Cross and Dana Wiley, a good pianist leader, were inclusive. The New Open Air Dome. The new open air dome for moving vehicles and open air dancing opened Thursday, May 25, as the Freeman went to work in the enterprise will appear in the next issue.

Magnificent in the splendid, gorgeous costumes and with a bevy of pretty girl Bruce Currie, the company is more than Monday evening. Man to one of the most intelligent, enthusiastic and appreciative audiences ever seen, the company is the extreme advance advertising given out by the manager, Mr. A. Barasso, and the good impression made by the company. The display of the company which was evidence a week before the appearance of the company, caused Memphis theater-goers to watch and await the appearance of this splendid company of players. On the opening night no one was disappointed, the course was tracked to the city, the S. R. being displayed one hour and ten minutes before the curtain went up. After the first night's performance, the company was "ing" for the company as everybody who saw the show became a walking talking advertisement, being so well pleased with this exceptional com- The company numbers 14, notably are such stars and favorites as Madam Beatrice Bruce, prima donna; Arthur Ponce, frantic media of today (not yesterday) nor a century ago; and stars of the company, Edwards and Wilson, the celebrated tenor and soprano, Naomi O'Neill and Roberta Bounzette; Sadie Johnson, Roberta Bounzette, W. H. Harris, "funny man," and co-star; "King Rastus" Brown, world's champion ofos manipulator and "Jast" and the top-down-down-down-down-down-down-down and Prof. Olf McClustur, pianist.

The specialties between acts were very good indeed and were well received. The time to place the show in the community and the personality and beauty became a favorite immediately upon her appearance, simply captivating the audience with her sweet singing and irresistible smile. "Little" Eddie Green, famous "movie" comedian and Memphis favorite, "filled in" with the company the opening week, having a week's lay-off here at the time of the world. In the early itably Miss Viola Evans, singing and dancing soubrette, is scoring nightly in her late songs and new dances, being the most efficient of beautiful bouquets. "King Rastus" Brown is storming the house at each performance with his trademarkly can dance, and is indesfatigable in it, seeming to enjoy it as much as the clowns. This year's offering is a three-act comedy entitled, "The Grocery Store," another of Mr. Bruce's creations. Mr. Bruce is the star, while the comedy is being dispensed by Bruce and Harris. "The Grocery Store" is going big, the musical number well trained chorus, under the direction of Mr. B. E. Edwards, are up to applause. Mr. Edwards deserves much credit for his accomplishment in the second to none and with few equals. The company is being shown many social courtesies during their engagement here, and we regret very much leave, but as their future, booking them up with a hopes of a return engagement as soon as they can give it to us. The release cashier, Mrs. Inetz Jades, says it is a pleasure to sell tickets for a show like Bruce and Bruce, even if there is a little more love she has her a smile with their admission. Mr. A. Barrasso is as proud of this company as a little boy is of his first pair of "red top" boots—he is all smiles. Mr. Masby Wilson, head usher, and Mr. James Higgitt, house policeman, say the never-before seen crowds to look after before.

The one best bet of Rube Foster, took the islanders into camp by the tune of 7-6, letting them down with two bets. A single by Villa and a fluke of the rest of the team, the wind carried the visitors were able to get. Whitworth then settled down and it was “peaches” the rest of the way.

Lieutenant Robert Dibble, of the 180th Sportsmen's battalion of the Canadian troops, is the champion single sculler of this country as well as Canada, having won the title the last three years. Dibble, if the Canadian Association of Amateur Oursmen will permit, will row a special race this summer previous to departing to the European war against some of the promising senior scullers on Toronto bay.

In that year the number was 3,114. --- Race enthusiasts of Sydney, Australia, in answer to an appeal for equipment for the Australian soldiers going to war, are represented donating their field glasses.

THE 50-50 TEAM FOR INDIANAPOLIS YOU'D smile, too, if during the long weary, dark and gloomy, and all the other adjectived winter days you had been working underlock and key to finish two race cars; then when spring came and EDDIE RICKENBACHER PETE HENDERSON the birds sang and the ice melted off the Indianapolis Speedway track, you took your new mount and found that your wildest flights of fancy had come true. That is why Eddie Rickenbacher, manager of the Presst-O-Lite team of two Maxwell cars is happy. With him and his team mate, Pete Henderson, it is 50-50. The two cars look alike, are built alike, and you could fool almost everybody else but Eddie and Pete. They could tell which car was which in their sleep. They spoke about their feelings in the Sixth International 300-Mile Sweepstakes Race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 30, and the favored few who have seen these rejuvenated Managers in practice believe the foreign-built cars, such as the Sunbeam, Peugeot and Fiat, will have all they can do to compete with these Made in-U. S. A. cars. Many new fangled contraptions and mechanical features are to be found on these two cars, but in the main their principles are the same as those created by Ray Harrourn some years ago. was made today by Edward Renz of the Mohawk Athletic Club at Celtic College, and was played for 11 minutes and 45 seconds, made by W.

As in their previous one, about all that Barton did was to stand up and take all that was on a blow or two, but never causing any trouble. Also as in their previous one, he was not agitated against with his countenance considerably altered but otherwise unharmed. He can take a bad beating, and that is the reason he can again attack a hard, contumelous hitter. Johnson, Leo was in fine fettle. He has his left going in great style. He danced in, and he was not afraid of bewildering Barton, but never stopping him from coming on for more. Johnson hit Wee Wee with about every beat, and he was not ceeded in outpointing Barton. It was a real good bout. Both boys kept moving and hard-hitting Barton in deadly combat. He was touched during the fight, and showed no signs of having met the vicious and hard-hitting Barton in another different fight. Wade Johnson was as another youth, with wonderful stamina and no great knowledge of boxing, attempted to beat a light-hitting Barton. For a couple of rounds Wade appeared to have a chance, but after getting Griffin, he had a light-hitting Barton. COLUMBUS. Ohio—Forty-five convicts, unguarded, united the Ohio State University week, went to the Columbus American Association ball park, where they participated in a ball game either as players or rooters, and returned ten times. The game was defeated 8 to 6 in ten innings by a team composed mainly of enlisted men from the United States Army brackets at Columbus. The prisoners were free for the day only. Warden P. O. Thomas told them the game was a mock ball squad, those who attended the game included the penitentiary band, ball squad, those who attended the game included the penitentiary band, gunmen and "stickups" made up the squad. The convict team wore plain gray baseball uniforms marked with the prisoner's name, box set a convict reporter for the Ohio Penitentiary News, a paper printed by the convicts. For the prison team was done by Charles Scott, Springfield "stickup" man, the dozen buckshots man, the neat, neat arm apparently not affected his chances began to disappear and by the time he came in his courage and ability to take punishment. Griffin received a stout blow in the wind in the second round and doubled his score to 14-10. The parative novice enabled him to stay through that round. But he stuck and was knocked out by the crowd to land every blow he had ever heard of on Johnson. He swung as hard as he could in the face and the wind came in at the right times, yet he was Wade. It was Darky's bout by a mile. SPORTING NEWS FROM JACKSON VILLE, FLA. The Giants are now trying to build up an new club which will be hard to do.

May 11 — Negro stablemen look askance and shake hands to proach a horse on the farm of Clay Goodlee, near Houstonia, Mo. A belief that the horse has supernatural power Goodlee recently was breaking the horse. He struck him with a whip, "Oh!" exclaimed the animal in almost the same way that the Negroes began to take notice. Each time the horse is disciplined he says "Oh!" distinctly. Goodlee is not to teach the horse to say other words. JOHNNIE BROWN DEFEATS YOUNG JOE GANS. Johnnie Brown defeated Young Joe Gans in a ten-round bout at the Louisiana superfight.

The hotel refused to board the team, and the reason Manager Rogers has seen fit to use home talent, as also the Plutos to use some boys on the club who wait table and play ball which enables them to make a fairly good income; the reason is that the salary of some of the professional players. Manager Rogers would like to car from "American" Waiters who can play semi-professional ball. Will they will, no doubt, be going good before the season gone, and will book with some of the big cities as in the past. Lee Hill, Woods, and a few other, Grant and Woods, and a few other, Grant and Woods, they are going to stick, for West Baden on the map to "get the money." These boys are also playing excellent ball. The boys will play Jasper, Ind. Sunday, May 21. There has been quite a bit of comment about the present Sprudel team and the condition of the park, which is nothing unusual for those who do not understand the "Inside Points" of baseball. It takes money to make "The Mare Go" and that is what has always made the Sprudels go. Without the usual board and lodging of the hotel, it would be a hard proposition to invest in. So the fan had to try and let well enough alone, since the Plutos park has been carried away from what I am told "Bucking against the boss."
