Royd, commanding the Teeth cavalry detachment in the battle at Carrizal, and Theuessert Heyr, Marr were among the killed, and Captain Moore was wounded, acco- ding to a description of the fight, given out here as coming from Lem- R. Gillibury, a Mormon scout, en- ployed by General J. J Pershing. Sollubury was brought here yester- day with the seventeen American Negro troopers, who were captured in the In announcing a story of the battle which he said Spillisbury void him General Jacques de la Rue, the district of the northeast, announced that any time and any place the American troops must move to will complete the letter with his superior's orders and will attack them as General Felix General Trevino said that all diplomatic arrangements are outside of his sphere. Spillisbury's story, as announced by General Trevino, was to effect the seventy-six Negroes, comprising Troop H of the Tenth Cavalry and himself, compose the American detachment that encountered the Mexicans. He said that he saw on the field the twenty-three Negroes and at least eleven of the Negroes. Spillisbury's account as given out follows: "We left Casas Grandees on Sunday morning, arriving outside of Carrival Told Him to Turn Back. "Captain Tom is extremely dis- patched by the carrier to the jefe politici- tion of the little village, advising him that we were on our way to Villa Ahumada. After his visit, he was sent home to the town, leaving him some out and was warned Captain Royd that he would better turn back. Captain Boyd then explained that he was in pursuit of a small ship. He was not at all likely to be found. He had not been in Domingo, and also was bound to catch a Negro deserter who he had heard was in Villa Ahumada. "The deserter is very well-noted in the American that if he attempted to advance he would have to pass over the dead bodies of the Mexi- can who had been so far dead," he had said. "But the better not argue the matter." "Rivas returned to the village to report to his superior officer, General de Rivas, that he had been in the village, and that he was not in the American to enter Carrival for a conference. Captain Boyd declined this invitation." "Rivas's ground Gomez went out in person and insistently urged the Americans to retire, pointing out that his orders from his superiors necessitate his acting on them without further notice," he said. "The General was not asked to be outed in these words as he walked away. Boyd merely answered 'All right.'" General Trevino's announcement then followed the news of the meeting, saying that after General Gomez had retired to his troops, who were outlined outside the town, Captain Boyd ordered the General to go on with him, and they were out by expostulated with him arguing that a fight was sure to follow. Spills-bury is reported as saying that Captain Royd's obstinately seemed to think that the "obstinate" was a "bombing," and the firing quickly began. He is quoted further: "Captain Moore, who was the first of the three-day Adiar fell wounded, was wounded in the shoulder and immediately the Negroes became demoralized by the horsemen, and the men holding the horse were being left behind. We were forced to surrender and myself, saw the bodies of Boyd and Adiar, and just eleven Negroes on the field of battle." Mexican authorities asserted that the routes and had been well treated en route. General Trevino says that he received some days ago an announcement from the commander of General Trivino's warring not to move, east, south or west. Since then four Negroes other than those taken Carizal have been captured, and also, while American. According to the story told General Pershing from the battle field Carizal, trivino was entirely unprovoked and made Mexican force had partly surrounded Americans under cover of Carizal. Americans had opened fire with a machine that the American troopers command and returned the Furious. Apparently the men who made their way to General Pershing's headquarters of the Eleventh cavalry sent general Pershing to reinforce the two groups of the Tenth, and no report from the source had reached General Pershing. General Funston pointed out a discovery in the report coming through Mexico that Money had been killed. The report stated that the American forces had been killed, while General Funston was the senior officer of Captain Murray was the senior officer of Captain and would have been in com Would Substantiate Story General Pershing's report stated that he had warned Captain Boyd before the latter the main column that he was on a recordering expedition only, that he was to use even pre-court against precipitating a clash with Mexican troops. The fact that these instructions had been given is taken by army officers here to subdue the story of the strangers that the attack was unprovoked by the Americans and made without warning. General Pershing said that before the Americans left on the expedition both he and Major Evana, of the Tenth cavalry, cautioned the commanding of ficer to be careful not to provoke a fight Impressed by Report. General Funston appeared impressed with the sincerity of the story brought in by his interview. He would not cause him to send any new instructions to General Pershing or to any of the other troopers he said that while scouting Troops C and K, Ten ternary stopped at Ojo de Santo Domingo Tuesday morning, commanding Troops C as senior captain, was in charge of the expedition. At 4:30 Wednesday morning the column arrived within a mile of the village at 7 a.m. A national guide was sent ahead to ask the Carrazaans to carry the American troops might pass through the town. At first General Funston later sent word the Americans might pass if they would stop for a parley. Before Captain Boyd could start Gen. Funston engaged the American officers in conversation. While they were talking, they came out of the town in large numbers. Boyd saw the danger of being surrounded and ordered his command to At this juncture Gomes turned and galloped to the right of his own line. Opened a door, Captain Boyd then ordered his men to dismount and return the fire. The soldiers who reached General Pershing's headquarters said they retreated during the fighting and became separated from their commands, so that were unable to give any further details.

I guess they got enough at that." **Rode Straight Through the Line.** Harris' troop was surrounded by the Cayman Islands, wounded from the cordon the Mexicans had drawn around the Americans, by riding straight through their line on the island.

I was in hit the shoulder and I kept the horses loose and climbing on my back. We went to the nest part of the circle. I went right through the Mexicans. My horse ran down and poured a little water from the hole he understood, for he got that look in his eyes animals have when they are gravel. I walked until I found one of our animals.

FIELD HEADQUARTERS, Mexico (by wireless to Columbus, N.

"Hughes and Fairbanks" has a mellifluent ring—it "hollers" harmoniously When big questions press for solution, meet them squarely "not" "side-step." Ira T. Bryant, it seems, knew where-of he spoke. He is one live wire in the A. M. E. church. Be your own man—do your own thinking. No man ever controlled another man without despairing him. It doesn't pay to be a four-flusher. Somebody will "get your number" before you get very far down the pike. What has become of the old-fashioned girl used to be satisfied to have fellow friends and spend nothing but the evening? To complete "gentleman's agreement." it is necessary to have at least one gentleman in the deal. Politicians will bear this in mind. Monroe N. Work's "Negro Year Book" is the black man's most reliable almanac or encyclopedia. It gives information that offers inspiration. There will be some hot times before the Negro will be in the scrimmage, battling for American betterment. We would believe Major Moton on any matter involving the race question before we would an obscure reporter for the Associated Press. How about --- Rev. J. Harvey Anderson starts out admirably as editor of The Star of He. He is a veteran pen-pusher and is a thinker over the forward outlook. Domestic science is the first of sciences. Without it there can be no results from the other sciences. Study out the "insides" of this broad declaration. The renalance of the Negro in the drug trade bridges Hirte Harvardo, R. Heil Strange, J.

Kansas City folks know how to entertain the "stranger within their gates." They know how to extend the "slad hand." There are evidences that the warning about the Negro Convention will get together in September. There should be honors enough to show up and the "brethring" ought to be satisfied. A new deal is assured from now on. Invitations to the commencement of Tuskegee Institute, Hampton Institute, St. Louis Institute, and C. National Training School for Women and Girls, Washington, D. C., and C. National Training School for D. C., are gracietly acknowledged. Chief Sam's "Aafir Eden" has joined to join the bubbles once exploited by that magnificent fakir, "Col.

The Colored employees of the Hotel Savannah, Savannah, Ga., including the staff, work along for theributed $1,000 to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. The collections were made by George L.

That majestic National Training School at Durham does not except carry on the work and expand with the natural increase of enrollment. Dr. Shepard is the "man on the box," and rides to success gracefully. The splendid work done by Miss Clarissa Tuskegee Institute as salutatorian of her class, indicates that she is indeed a graduate of the daughter of Secretary and Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, neither of whom need any of this continent. --- The esteemed Washington Bee and its wild-cat correspondent, known as "The Sage of the Potomac," continue to lie in the shadow of the latters Thompson and the latter's pen-pushing operations. These energetic busy-bodies would succeed better in the management of their personal affairs if they attend strictly to their own business. ```markdown ``` At the recent Tuskegee Institute commencement Hon. William Jay Crawford, William Jay Crawford, half of the Board of Trustees of the Institute, presented a bronze bust of bookseller M. H. Schieffel, who exhibited by Miss Cella Ushersa sculptor of New York City. The bust has been placed permanently in the chapel of the Institute. The tribute paid by Schieffel was written and earned. Dr. C. V. Roman's great book, "American Civilization and the Negro," is proving to be one of the year's "best reviews of the relations of the Negro to this country that has yet been published." Philadelphia, in in charge of the work, and the critics are unanimous in placing it as the standard authority of the race problem as we understand it. Some of the defeated aspirants for the Bishopic in the recent general conferences are said to be giving close attention to the determination of determining the death probabilities of certain incumbents between now and the end of the year, and the stances that cannot be figured out by the "rule of three" or any other finite measurement. Wait on the Lord, brethren, and possess thy souls in patience, and possess thy come sooner than you expect. "Armstrong's Contribution to World Peace" is the title of the Founder's Day Address delivered recently at Hampton University, and possess thy come sooner than you expect. It has been published in pamphlet form by the Hampton Press bureau, or of which I am the author of a sufficient head, and is being widely circulated. It should be read by everyone. It should be read in Negro education and the permanent solution of the nation's civil problems. There were sixty-eight lynchings in this country in 1915—an increase of 30 lynchings in America, as well as in 1916 statistics will also show a substantial increase over the two previous years. Some strong missionary work is needed in America, as well as in the United States. Lynching is a capital crime, and is the pastime of cowards, not one of whom would fight anybody single-handed. They travel in mobs and do their deeds under cover of masts and cannons, note when he declines to accept presents or donations from the poor minister or plain people of the various communities, and videos for the Bishops handsomely and he is satisfied to get what the law calls for.

He insists that a minister's work shall count and not be his identity. He does not THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. expect the poor, struggling members to buy him expensive suits of clothes or can scarcely support their pastor or pay anything on the church debt. Bishop Alstock has spoken to the congregation that "we are keen by the poet unto 'apples of gold in pictures of silver'." Prof. Kelly Miller is "again" the hyphenated American and is even down on the use of "Afro-American," if used in the context of a large would like to see Prof. Miller at head of the city school system (Colored School) and precious and public-spirited. He is a clean man and would insist upon clean methods in school government whereby the evidence of the masses everywhere. He is truly a "national character" in all that this much-abused term implies. The New York Age is in search of the "right man" for Washington correspondent. It asks for a capable writer, who has no bias on the local school or other vital questions, who is fearless in his discussion of the politics situation, who belongs to no particular social clique, and who is liked by every element of the variaged population of the nation's capital. If such a genius can be discovered in or about Washington, he can learn something to his advantage by communicating with Editor Fred R. Moore—and probably "others." Bishop Walters has been assigned to the "Hood District" of the A. M. E. Zion Church, including New York, New England and a slice of North Carolina. Washington City is sorry to lose him, but it is pleasing to note that the eminent prelate will be obliged to cross the District of Columbia frequently to get to portions of his southern field. He is not to be active in politics this year, but will be called upon often to give personal advice as to what the magnates of both parties should do to promote the welfare of the Colored American. --- Now and then the unexpected happens. A singer will write a newspaper man a note of thanks for a compliment, the leader will buy a copy containing a story of his powerful services to his people, without the editor having to write it. The leader will privately marked. Then there are a few entertainment managers who have sense enough to touch the complimentaries to their show; but lots of them have not, and growl when nothing is said about their affair in the current issue. Until the country hears a confirmation of the Associated Press' report of the Pullman incident, it is safe to take the view that Major Moton did not say anything about the complimentaries. Major Moton is a level-headed man of affairs and knows the South and the North alike. He has talked to all sorts of people, and never made a "break." He is not in the habit of going off half-cocked about anything. In this matter, delicate as he is, he has always the right thing about it—if, indeed, he said anything. His past record as a man and race leader entitles Major the benefit of all doubts as to the incident. This floating paragraph wafted itself into our sanctum a few days ago: The General W. H. Lewis gets a chance at the government corn-crib he will not permit his splendid abilities and impatience. He will vest-pocket would be leader and political opportunity. He will be his own man and not merely the echo of an old man. He is true in this year of our Lord as it was when penned just after the retirement of Mr. Lewis in 1813. Mr. Lewis has "woke up," and will not be caught napping by upstart pretenders when he next gets a chance to stand. He is one of the race's strongest men. A recent news note says: "Following the precedents of the British wars in 1783, the American colonists in 1776, England is preparing to employ red men to fight its battles. The American tribesmen are about to enlist, and soon the trenches will resound with blood-curdling warwroops. The other tribesmen may be formed. The red men are sturdy and will make brave soldiers, and soon large groups of outnumbered large sums to the patriotic resistance isn't that going some—assuming that the Associated Press is giving out a large sum of money always the case with that great news gathering agency. If the A. P. is not given a sum, the red men races, the fact should be found out. Neither the red man nor the black man can afford to be misrepresented by reports to the American newspapers. . . . A Washington pastor of an M. E. church expresses the view that the Saratoga general conference erred in insisting that the discipline of the ban against such universally-accepted amusements as card-playing, dancing and theater-going be allowed, despite the "worldly" indulgences, was of the opinion that such matters were very largely personal, to be settled by the man himself. The man's personal. He felt that it is safe to allow any real Christian to determine whether he should dance, attend a theater or man be held to be governed by their own conscience as to their amusements, dress, food and faiths, taking into account the effect that each or all of them might affect their example might have upon others. This divine holds that the "blue law" is objectionable and to be a "dead letter," impossible of rigid enforcement in urban communities. Hon Walter Himes Page, American Ambassador to Great Britain, at the invitation of the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society in London, recently gave an inspiring address on "Booker T. Washington and His Work." It was at the invitation of this society that Mr. Washington visited England several years ago and made a number of memorable addresses. He had accepted an invitation to make another visit during the winter of 1914, but the war intervened. Ambassador Page knew Dr. Washington well for twenty years, and took a keen interest in his work, because he recognized in his broad-visioned propaganda a constructive solution of the many-sided race problem in the United States. Dr. Washington's life and work are wide-known throughout England and the world, largely by reason of the graphic autobiography of the famous Tuskegeean, published by the New York firm of which Mr. Page is a member. Mr. Page's address on the deceased educator was circulated broadcast throughout the British Empire and Europe in general. --- Charles H. Turpin, the up-and-doing proprietor of the Booker T. Washing-brook $10,000 spent every day by the Negroes of that city, less than one per cent, of the business operated in places of business operated by Colored people. He said the dynamic power of Niagara Falls and the mighty Mississippi harbors up for the public good. He held that the Negro's financial nexcess up through systematic organization of forces and a co-operative spirit and the business factors and managing skills of the municipalities. The people are all right to know where they can get what they want and want the Negro business man to have what they want when they want. The Negro business League is wrestling with the problem how to harness these helpful forces in example for the branches of the Negro National League all over the land. Mrs. Daisy Simms Merchant is conducting a prosperous catering business at Cincinnati, Ohio, and serves the largest international classes of the Queen City. She has a stock of silver, china ware and many of the big catering concerns of the nation and uses a neat electric "runabout" for her personal errands, with a motor truck for the delivery of her merchandise. She is also vrons, Mrs. Merchant goes to New York and Boston every year to look for a remarkable woman is another link in the "like business" idea cannot be confined to the sterner sex, and that our women are able to march abrasely with her most intimate partner.

Azalia Hackley has had a highly successful tour of the East and South, and is now at the Hackley Normal Vocal Institute, Chicago, preparing for her extensive summer courses at the school and planning a continental spio-cation of the first time. The final idea for sex fall and winter, in New York City, she gave a recital at the Music School Settlement, under the auspices of J. Rosamond Johnson, the principal there, and while in the nas-mystopolis size, also gave special invitation to a blackboard demonstration of the musical art at the home of Mrs. William Curtis Demorest, wife of the noted New York millionaire. Later, Mme. Hackley went to Pine Bluff, Ark., as the guest of the Punch of the School and spent considerable time in community musical work. She gave two lessons a day at the High School and Branch Normal and one lesson every night at one of the chiches of the school. In the afternoon, the "community" lessons were given, and the attendance averaged over 350 people. Her itinerary also included points in Oklahoma, Kansas and western Missouri, and a cordial to home greeted her with a�nere. Hackley is a public-spirited to the last degree and is doing a wonderful work for the uplift of the race along ethical and artistic lines. Just think of it!

All in all it was the greatest camp that the uniform men in Texas.

There were too many homes pre-occupied out that several had from five to forty房 in their homes and would not let them go to homes where they lived. Some of the hackmen made it by carrying delegates to places that suited themselves. We have been informed that the local committee did not get the co-operation that it should have gotten from the grand lodge and a large number of K. of P. in Dallas and visitors.

Last summer the highway man found it necessary to use soap—O, every summer for that matter—but we mean we used it for a text, finding it quite necessary to approach the library. Some folks don't know how to use soap; and some people have to be reminded that soap and water and them have to mix up often, the public welfare requiring it. Seriously, this matter of bathing is a healthy subject and the subject upon whom it's practiced is a healthier one. Soap is made for all kinds of people, and all sorts of people need soap. One never has so much money that he is immune from a plunge. Get wisdom, too, but with all thy getting, get soap. Religion too, but get the clean-kind. Rusty people who were designed to make our bathing pleasures less. "Bathing our souls in seas of heavenly rest" doesn't mean bathing our bodies. You will hardly find any soap in Heaven. You have to clean up here. And the highway man is very sorry for some people who are waiting to get to the river before they take a bath. You'll never pass St. Peter with all that "noise." Perfumes and soap go together all right, but the perfume is in the soap. They are separate the soap comes first and the disney is used to add a bath to a bath. The new body is applying perfume and powder. You can't fool the public either. Everybody knows when you are used to soak the water, for like murder the secret will out. You can not "get by" without the constant companionship of the big three—soap was and tub. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, secretary of the Woman's Missionary Association, is the most identified the race a great service when she issued a small pamphlet entitled "Take a Bath First." The Highway Man offers a small game to show how the bows of knee in grateful obeisance. Not only that, he is going to close the bath-tub treaties with this pamphlet. Here it is: It's great because it's timely and true. There are some rousing (physically) revivals held in a great many of our chores. The way they are to be biggest pieces of missionary work to be done right through here is to get these people who think that the church is a very good place to go. It is a good one who think that cleanliness and Godliness are not even distantly related, to realize the importance of havindad in the understanding with the bath-tub, before they come to the church to perform. Men and women, old and young, lose not only their heads but their hair and eyebrows, losing the spaces of religious might be tolerated, if these people did not get so offensively warm during the summer. Losing the garments would less in this situation. The questions that confront him are too delicate for a man to handle directly. Then, too, he must be careful to "wave" the handle those that are not quite so delicate but just as important. What must we do to "wave" the answer squarely? "Meet the situation squarely." The let people know that by neglecting the temple of the transforming power of the Christian religion, they know that God sends rain, not only to swell streams and to make the earth more external and internal baths, it needs to make it physically fit for us to live upon, and has. He is the master of the external and annual provision for us to use some of this water to make E. E. Clemons, News Correspondent; J. A. Fisher, News Agent.

Clean bodies and good religion make splendid old-fashioned faces that are not anatomy but an apologue not repugnant by nature nor by grace. We do not need preachers to make us lose our senses and yell and scream like we were being stung by a wasp. The people must be taught the plain, the tough, the toughly seasoned and saturated with fundamental instructions in every-day living churches need "bath and fresh air clubs" worse than they need "pastors' aid societies". That one-half of people who attend church services ventilate churches have escaped death is due to the fact that God is taking the meaning of his saints. But we are not the only people with pitfalls or upon languishing beds of affliction, in disease-ridden homes. Many churches are almost air proof. We are not the only church services. To open a window is to start a holy war. Many of the flowers are carved; many of the flowers are cushioned; many the pulpins are decorated; many of the sextons are too old to see dirt; many others are too lazy; many more are too War ought to be waged against shieldless waists and woolen dresses. We should wear so far from clean that the wearer does not know when it has been washed. This is plain talk, but it is too important to go unsaid. It is more important than making hair grow or raspings, as important as both of these are. There are hundreds of preachers who need to go to the pulpit by way of the bath-tub, and take the majority of their congregations with them. We need the physical revivalment as well as the spiritual regeneration. A cleaner room physically will solve a great many of our race problems within as well as without. lophone: McClendon Whitfield, drums; Prayler Keith, cornet; the physical revivalment of this city, is now spending a while at the Tuskegee Institute; also Miss Lille Damson.

Dear Curley, the Crow, Kindly let us know, Since we are worried so; Are you really, truly Curley the Crow? When it comes to writing letters, score one for the Colonel. Fourth of July this year will be celebrated more "vigorously" than in former years. Old Glory is being agitated, and it's stirring up the "natives." It will be too bad if the killed and wounded greatly outnumber those of past years, and that fearful probability faces us. The demand for the release of the prisoners taken at Carrilaz has been compiled with by the government of Mexico, and owing to which fact the chances of war has considerably lessened. However, the possibility of war did not hinge on the decision of Carranza in the instance. It is thought, however, that the compliance means a disposition on the part of Carranza to take a more reasonable view of the situation. During the commencement exercises at Wilberforce University the degree of LL.D. was conferred on Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. Church, and Principal R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee, W. S. Scarborough in speaking of the honor said that the degrees were conferred in Absentia, neither of the individuals being present. Bishop Philips speaks of the honor as a complete surprise to him. Both Principal Moton and Bishop C. H. Phillips have received a great work of uplift. Wilberforce has done a very worthy thing in the bestowal of the coveted distinctions. At any rate the Colonel knows how to put over a letter. In his late epistle to the bewildered hosts of armagedon, at Chicago, he burnt the bridges behind him. Mr. Roosevelt confessed that the people were not ready to accept the new party, holding that the next best thing was to endorse Mr. Hughes, who stood for the utmost Americanism and the other essentials of himself and the Progressive party. The majority of the national committee still followed whereasover the doughty Colonel would lead. A small minority could scarcely be more than irreconcilable because of their source. They sprang from an ultra bourbonism, and which did not permit their feet to stray in the paths of the ancient "enemy"—the Republican party. These will gang with the Democrats. EXIT PROGRESSIVES In these days of the dissolution of the Progressive party one can afford to be charitable. Yet one can scarceily resist observing again that institutions that live are founded on deep-rooted causes. The Republican party had a right to be born, and should endure forever. It was founded on the thing which is the absorbing theme of mankind, and has been since the world began—enlarged liberty of the individual. The Democratic party endures because it stood from the beginning for the rights of men, consequently it is the power of the common body of American citizens—the Democrats. But it had limitations. The Republicans went them one better, including the humble Negro, thus making for a complete political mission, and of which they made a complete job. The Progressive party was both fatal in name and mission. Its name was fatal because it was too promiscuity; it hured on; it staked out, but it was merely hulk. The party had no vital service to render; not a single asset that was new or interesting. Its aliment was Mr. Roosevelt's splendid personality. He is fascinating, hence attractive, and had he had a real slogan all earth could not have withstood him. THE CANAL. The canal offers up a new victim this week, a colored man this time, and as if it were no respecter of persons. And, indeed, it is not; it bears on its bosom all manner of men; neither has it respect for sex or age, reminding one of the old sexon who gathers them in. Come, they great, or come they small. It is mockish in its deceit, appearing the very ideal of innocence as it alides unheedingly; that it is a dead man—filled with dead men's bones. Yet over the bridge they go, chattering and laughing, the throngs, unmindful of the water morgue 'neath their feet. The coroner has had enough of the grusome stream that charms us on, and like a vampire bat sucks away the life blood in the meanwhile. He has recommended that the stream be litterally choked to death—filled up with earth until it is dead, dead, dead. But the recommendation may mean nothing. It is not the first time that it is choked, and the humanlike, staid good for a while, and when the last act was fairly out of memory it sprong new deeds of horror. In entire of the canal's death deal ing character it has not made a great reputation in kind. And yet it were a miniature Seine at Paris, and where human beings dropped like rats years ago unless our Hugo erred. Remember Jean Vallean, in that horrible sewer of slime on its way to the river? Beautiful in its horror was it! And our canal is furnishing the same kind of a material for the novelist in spite of its look of domesticity. However, let us hope that murders by means of the canal will not continue, for the good of song or story. Yet these death dealing areas are the ones seized on to give realism and habitation worthy of romance to the localities of the novelists. There is still slight hopes that a war with Mexico will not be a necessity. The chances, however, are the other way. Carranza has staked his all on a single principle, insisting that the sovereignty of his country compels an evacuation by the United States forces. This in spite of the fact that nothing has been accomplished by way of punishment of Villa and his men. He apparently takes no cognizance of that maraquism, the extent of which he and country responsible for his acts. He probes reasons that as lawless as the Villa men are, he can do no more than he has been doing, and that if the Americans continue in the country it will be as disastrous to him as a war would be with its possible salvation of honor for himself and country. As far as Mexico, represented by Carranza, and the United States are concerned that government, called defacto, is not without some excuse in standing for a government without outside influence. It has committed no offense against the United States, consequently it requires and deserves consideration from that viewpoint. On the other hand, President Wilson is in honor bound to protect the citizens of his country. Murder cannot continue because Carranza finds it impossible to control the situation. Something had to be done; it has been done, however, without satisfactory result, in fact without any result. As it stands, Carranza, no more than President Wilson, wishes to appear in a humiliating attitude before his country. An indefinite occupation is not a very salutary announcement. Our troops were defeated in meting out punishment to Villa, a most chagrining admission, but it should not imperil the peace of the two countries. Carranza is only offensive in standing out for an uninvaded country. President Dilson is only offensive in standing for the cessation of murder on the border. Neither can recede from the high ground without some sacrifice of national respect. Villa is the cause of the seemingly inextricable hornlocking; but he nor those supporting him should have the glory of plunging two great nations into war. If Carranza is in earnest he can name a force of men to work in conjunction with one from the United States, and thus suppress the bandits. We can not think that good Mexican citizens expect the United States to stand for the continual murder of its citizens. NO MEAN CITY. The Neges of this community can congratulate themselves owing to the quiet that followed that very regrettable happening last week when Lieutenant Hagerty of the police force was shot down by Charles Wheeler, a Negro. In his desperate effort to escape arrest after having been caught in the act of theft, Wheeler also struck down Joseph Hollingsworth, a mounted policeman, stunning him long enough to take from him his revolver, and with which shot the lieutenant, and also clubbed a young white man who was assisting in making the arrest. The Negro was finally taken, but not until he was wounded by the officers. The three deeds—the one of murder ane the two assaults—made a very aggravating case for Wheeler. Yet, so far as it is understood, the citizens have been content to let the matter rest with the court. One killed and two wounded is a staggering total for one individual. That some were not all wrought up, urging the thing of mob justice, was a splendid test of the institution in Indianapolis. We are sorry to say that Mr. Bell, mayor of the city, gave out the only expression that savored of prejudice and mob rule. He tried very diligently to have it appear that the happening was an outgrowth of the differences between himself and some of the Republican officials and the newspapers, as it concerns the police department of which he is the head. He insisted that a loose rein had been given the lawless Negro element by way of getting back at him, and this through encouragement the tragedy resulted. Happily enough, the mayor's strange reasoning and conclusions do not many talkers, if any at all. No one has had the peculiar courage to endorse his views. In fact they so unreasonable and so slanderous that they have been left severely by them, been no encouragement of crime among the Negroes. Wheeler was caught stealing automobile tires—a plain case of stealing, and such as confront the courts every day. Police officials expect trouble now and then, and accordingly have armed the poilone. licemen for such an emergency. It can be easily seen why the mayor was a bit exercised over the affair, but others regretted it quite as much. It was ugly, unusual, out of the ordinary, but he was not justified in overstating a situation when trying to fix the responsibility. There is nothing of sympathy for Wheeler by those of his race in this case. They are thoroughly satisfied that he will reap all that the law has in store for such men, and as he so richly deserves, judging by what is known of the case at this time. They are thoroughly satisfied with the splendid community spirit, and which refused to encourage a special means of justice in face of the courts, which were designed and created to meet all conditions of lawlessness. AVENGING REGIMENT JACKSON, Miss., June 27.—Declaring their purpose to avenge the Colored troops slain at Carrizal by Mexican can treacher. Colored men here have begun organizing a regiment of cavalry for service in Mexico. Leaders declared 50,000 colored troops will be offed the government should the call for volunteers be sounded. It is to be hoped that the Colored men who take up arms for their coun try will do so just as other men do—without any special vengeance in view. The war, if it comes, will not be a race war, and it will be conducted from Washington. The glory of men falling in the defense of their country is not transient, and we can do but little to add to it. The country remembers its fallen heroes in a most fitting way. We remember those that even if they do not fall, and in a most fitting way. So we need not be uneasy as to any possible neglect of our race men. The remaining officers of the troops of the Tenth Cavalry speak commending of the heroes of Carrizal. The newspapers give glowing accounts of their behavior in their hour of sacrifice. It is as much as can be done that tends to glorify their conduct.

All of the troops called to activity by the authorities are meant to set things right. Doubless the President and his advi­ vation of the troops think that the Negroes in common with other men are willing and ready to stand by the guns of the nation, but more than likely they will not countenance a propaganda of peculiar vengeance.

THEATRES HERE AND SPORTS THERE AROUND THE CITY OF NEW YORK 'WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN' AT THE NEW THEATER A WEEK AFTER (By Jack Trotter.) (New York City Special) When the big clock in the jeweler's window across the street pointed to the same top central figure of 22 o'clock noon, the audience was in awe of the large vestibule of the Lincoln Theater and that of the sidewalk in front of the theater, for the waiting for the opening of the box office. The presentation of the great picture "Where Are My Children?" was the most sensational. That such crowds should actually storm the doors of this large theater for two days for admission to see the show, and that any theater exhibiting a run of first-class screen productions in Harlem (not to alternate them with the second run of the same varieties) will meet with "big" success. Elite Amusement Players Score in "Allen Murray Kalentine." The Elite Amusement Company with its all-star colored cast is producing this week at the Lafayette Theater what is said to be by the foremost critics, the greatest play that ever came from the pen of the late Paul Armstrong, "Allas Jimmy Valentine." This production saw a run of two solid years at Wallak's old Broadway Theater in this city, and has been shown on the screen of every moving picture house of any prominence throughout the country. With Mr. Andrew Bishop in the title role and J. Frances Mores, Will A. Cook, Abble Mitchell, Carlotta Freeman and Inez Clough in important supporting positions, the play has much of the interest and thrills which made the original one of the biggest successes ever produced in New York. The company appears in the following order. The Escape. Next Week. Next week the Elite Stock Company will present at the Lafayette "The Escape," with Messrs. Lacey Cherry and Laura Bowman doing important roles. The play is another of those life strivings that have been played by playwright Paul Armstrong, and is written in the same forceful, interesting manner which made this writer of fame. About the Play. The story is that of a girl, who, rear-ed on the Bowery, runs away when her father forces her marriage to a toucher, who has been taught to believe is only for aristocrats and for people of means, and tries stechography, long gone, acquainted with Senator Gray and is installed in sumptuous apartments. She falls ill and a doctor, whom she had been treated with, her brother was cut up in a fight, is summoned. She realizes the shame of it all. It is not too late, and she renounces the senator. Her brother, the widow, and his beatings hasten her death. Her brother kills the man who wrecked his sister's life. To save him from the doctor, doctores coact a story of suicide. In the end the heroine, after a long difficult journey, applies for a position as trained nurse. The doctor recognizes her and the closing curtains show them caressing each other. Mr. Willfam "Babe" Townsend. Mr. William "Babe" Townsend has been called upon to display his versatility as an actor probably more often than any other member connected with the many companies of the Elite Amusement Corporation. Mr. Townsend's ability to adapt himself to situations, especially those demanding adrotness and quick wit, has made him a performer whose true value can only be properly gauged by the producing manager under whom he works. "Babe" first appearance in drama was made as "Jimmy" in "The Deep Purple" at the Lafayette Theater several weeks ago. This initial effort was an instantaneous success. Since then he has gone on and on, assuming the most difficult parts handed to him and doing them all in a manner not only creditable but winning as much favor from his audience as did the star with whom he worked. Mr. Chas. Moore Back in the days of Williams and Walker, Mr. Chas. Moore, actor, operatic was considered a artist and character to have reached the hey-day of his professional perfection. In those days he directly through his sheer worth and personality, his ability being carefully trimmed and subdued to a point constant, he was known and appreciated. But I am still far away from the real point. Mr. Charles Moore after an enfeeblement back to the stage and to us a couple of months ago appearing in one of the leading roles in the play "The Wolf," he back to the stage and in a playhouse in this city and at the Howard Theater in Washington, D. C. The printed accounts of the successes he has dealt within the minds of everyone. Mr. Moore's possession of the faculty to human beings is largely used for the parts for which he is cast, and whenever the name of this actor appears on the program, he plays the play-goers are at least sure of being well pleased with his end of the show. Messrs. Thompson, Cooper & Thompson, mauvidence's greatest singers, has combined with his wife, Meyers and Jones in the forming of an octette, which will work during the remainder of the summer at Bridgewater Inn, Long Branch, . . . Messrs. Chas. Gilpin, late star of the Lafayette Stock Company has with Blondy Robinson and Andrew Tubble, formed a tabloid musical symmetry. The trio will play at the Royal Theater, Asbury Park, N. J., during the summer months. Mr. Tom Brown of Tom Brown and Carla Ashbury is considering an offer to invade stock, made to him by the Elite Amusement Corporation. Miss Carita Day is in Chicago, where she was called through the illness of her mother. SPORTING NEWS OF SHREVE-PORT, LA. (By Chas. J. Harris.) The patrons of Palace Park A. C. were given one of the best runs for their money that they could not be knocked out Rattlesnake Kid in the last minute of their scheduled fifteen round fight here Friday. The team had all the way and things looked like a sure draw, when suddenly in the fifteenth round, after two fouls, Red caught Snake with a left hook and an upper cut to the jaw and following it, again to the jaw, flooring Rattlesnake for the count. The bell rang before the referee finished his count, and Snake was to regain himself. Rattlesnake Kid has asked for another chance and they will be matched in the near future for twenty rounds at GIANTS LOSE TO GREYS. Home Boys Lose a Close Game—Thousands Present Even Though 900 Are at Springfield, III., Order Seats For July 4. Chicago. June 29—While there were some 900 men out of the city last Sunday, down at Camp Dunne with Col. Franklin A. K., the commanding officer, borders, the fans did not miss them on last Sunday when the Giants lost their second Sunday game. The guests of the home boys last Sunday were the players of the most exciting games seen at Schorling's Park this season. "The Forged Note!" Foremost Negro Novelist, Who Also Wrote "THE CONQUEST" There is a tendency, as might be expected, on the part of librarians, booksellers and newdeals to neglect placing books by Negro authors on their shaves for the��cerventive books of their patrons. Only those of North Dakota and Nebraska 2,500 white people have purchased THE FORGED NOTRE from solicitors. Moreover, the race of racents from the other than the working-class of the race, asking for rev i w copies. We merely cite these instances to show that there are many of the most common books in the public library and on sale at the bookstore of your town, it would be purchased, read end a precated by your white neighbor. After read of the quick question, you will see the text of the Telephone and ask your leading bookseller if he has a step in the telephone and ask your leading bookseller if he has a step in the phone and ask your leading bookseller if he can't place it there. This will cost you nothing but will be the means of placing a great book by the most promising author of the race at the disposal of your friends and neighbors. Publishers Western Book Supply Company LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Mr. Johnson was put in the box and did fine up to the fifth innning. As a lady in the box said, "Oh, he's a peach." In the innings the Grey came in the true metal. The Giants brought in two scores in the second and one in the third. The boys thought they were better than the Grey, the Giants tied bases in the eighth with one out, failed to score, while Barber twice landed on a second with the Grey gone and died in the sixth. The Grey comes in the sixth and pled up three runs on the same number of hits and two on a pass ball, two field choices, and a single by King. Quite a deal of change was lost. It is said that Walter Speedy was ready to meet all comers.

Instead of going to parks, people spend the day with Mr. Foster and his fast team. Popularity Contest. There is some talk of starting a popularity contest among the players of the American Giants. Its really hard to tell who is the most popular man on the field, but the most part, are gentlemen, and well liked by fans here and elsewhere. Capt. Hell Better. Capt. Pete Hill, who has not been feeling well for the past three weeks, was put in as a pinch hit on last week, and seems to improve the captain certain. ALL AROUND FIRST Mr. Grant, and it is said that he was named, first, Genera Grant, is all kind of a great player, a game that is seldom seen, even in the parks. He parks. He is a mighty popular player. Lloyd The Demon. Lloyd is called a demon at short, Lloyd is fond of the popular can fans that a shortstop, he added and the rest must take their hats off. Mr. Lloyd, who is popular contest soon, we vouchsafe as that Mr. Lloyd, who is popular with the popular contest, would lead in the popularity contest. Judy Gans a Pitcher. "Judy" Gans is developing into a fine pitcher. He has won several games in the national and local league Duncan, who is usually a safe hitter. With Barer, another safe hitter, Petway, the world's greatest catcher, has been named head coach. Mr. Foster has a team that will do justice to any city in America. Remember that if you want a good seat on Sunday and July 4, you must order your seats now.

The performance of three acts. He has fine appearance, grace and naturalness, but lacks gesture. Taking everything, he is very good excellence.

The "Slaves" Return The College," a stunning musical revenue by Steve Bam with its array of principals taken from the small and much more than the pluchritudous music of the show, from the best in the market, is a genuine hit.

Azaila He Teacher, Madam E. Azaila Jackson's Music School at Odd Fellows Hall. There was a goodly number present at Prof. W. L. Jackson's annual commencement at Old Pallow's Hall last Wednesday, June 21, to witness the exercises of his pupils, who ranged from tiny children to adults, all who perform on various instruments of all kinds, taught by Prof. Jackson and his wife, who instructs on the piano and acts as accompanist. It is useless to state that the Jackson's are thorough teachers, as the students are thorough teachers years time proves their competence. It was when Mrs. Marie Clay Huddlin, a lady who was introduced and made a few friends, was a few Jackson's, that people could fully realize what she was teaching. The pupils were laden with candy and flowers as the program proceeded. The pupil in particular worthy of mention is Harry L. Long, a young pro- fessional actor who went on the stage before he was of age and won his way. He is bribe-breaking and a magician. Harry is a good actor dancer, soon became known in the team of Thornton and Long in vaudeville, and he was a musician. Washburn Stetson's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company. When he joined Terry U. T. Company his natural fondness for music was apparent. He practiced in an alto or baritone horn in the company but made no progress. When he returned to Chicago I recommenced his course in Jackson's School of Music, which he decided to do seven months ago. His appearance in the commencement of the season was not good. "Blue Bells of Scotland," was a big surprise to his friends. Mr. Long, who played a straight part in Bill King's season, will not return to the stage until he has finished a complete course of tuition. Program of the Movies.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TER. PHILADELPHIA. (By J. H. Gray) JACKSON WILLE HIGHTOWER Great "Senior" comma with Alexa-dor comma. "When Wife Is Away." The comedy bears evidence of painstaking labor by Miss Bush, as well as real for the die-hard husband. The production is accorded much praise by all who are fortunate enough to see it. A pretty fair company is assembled, and the actors play considerable ability. The rehearsals have been conducted with vigor and the result is a pretty smooth and well-structured effort in hitches in the action and no long waits between acts. Miss Bush takes the part of Pinkie Blossom, and is warmly commenting on her efforts to obtain acquaints from her many admirers. Ollie Burgery again demonstrates her possession of morals, and is as silent as the client in her law-ward with a slight aguge that is at the same time witty and is admirable in her interpretation. Hobo Jim, the swagman, does anything that is immanent in his equilibrium on ladders, poles. etc, without any supports, does thrilling cycle stunts and includes going up a flight of stairs on a wagon wheel, a jumping over a wall, and jumps the wheel off on the floor, still retaining his position on the wheel. A theater show of "Under Azure Skies," which is thrown on the screen. The show closes with a scream, and the audience, in median, as the judge, who, with lots of extemporaneous fun, keeps the comedy full. The merrymaking, the songs are cheery and include some of the latest contributions of the popular song writers. The several songs are clearly in full share in the merrymaking. Sweetie May is heard to advantage and the audience is likely to be a favorite, as she also receives bouquets and is showered with coins by the audience. The playing of the songs is not too taxing things, is as good as that heard in any opera house in the city, and should be an inducement powerful enough to crowd Gibson's new Standard album. They specialize in the Flowx of Italy, concert valse by Stefano. NOTES FROM J. A. HARRIS' BAND AND MINDING HOLL GOLL- MAR BROS.

The following is an extract from an editorial that appeared in one of the local daily papers in calling the attention of the public to the necessity of providing free swimming pools in order that all might learn a better style of work are not only alternatives. But to swim or not to swim may be all the differences between health and feeliveness. No modern school or public institution can afford to be without a swimming pool. Several hundred people were drowned accidentally last year because of these problems. Many of these were young people who could not swim and yet went canoeing, impishly rocked boats, or were otherwise rash in their ignorance of danger in and near water. The Association, through its physical department, had conducted a year of special week of free swimming lessons in order that the public might be benefited and at the same time demonstrate the practical usefulness of the Association to the community. So again this year, July 3rd to 9th, every boy over 36 and in the city between it and he is a member of the Association, will be given an opportunity to learn to swim free.
