Chancellor. In getting down to the real nexus of the K. of P. Chancellor race that is just two weeks off, delegates and their friends are making their preparations to meet at the $127,000 Pythian Temple, which is contemplated by the public and press to be the greatest meeting of a session ever held in the history of the Domain of Kentucky. There is a luminous ray in Pythianism yet to be unfolded, and for such it will take the very bone and sinew of brotherhood and sisterhood—ere the most conservative of the world—that we have completed the task that we have started, in erecting this great temple. Just one mistake at the very hour means decades of non-progress, mismanagement and self-aggrandizement! Each delegate should arrive early and know something of their whereabouts. There are five prominent Pythians in the field in the persons of Mr. J. L. V. Washington, Louisville: Lawyer L. R. Diggs, Frankfort; Prof. J. B. Caulder and Mr. George H. Minnis, of Lexington. If the Pythians believe in meritorious work and of rewarding those who are able to receive the best of the world, they must be and Listen” prevents us from danger. Patrick Henry said “Liberty or death,” but it is mismanagement or death with us, and there is but one course in Pythianism for redemption, and that is to elect Lawyer W. H. Wright for our next Grand Chancellor of Kentucky. K. of P. Grand Moonlight Excursion Up the River. The grand moonlight excursion, united by the auspices of K. P. Up the river Monday night was a success on the steamer 'Queen City.' The boat left the harbor on Proviso Island was the center of attraction for entertainment. Good music, plenty of entertainment. The board was the program. Committee of arrangements: Nelson Pryor, captain Brookins, Arrie Weir Miller, S. W. Bundy, David Hicks, Macy Muffman, treasurer, Bridgeford Simms, chairman, State Biennial Committee, is putting forth every effort to make this the best possible that has ever been in Louisville.

Theme: "Should the Colored Man Fight for the Flag" Col. Roscoe C. Simmons Honored—To Give Public Banquet Free to them. Col. Roscoe C. Simmons, who has the proud distinction of having a church named after him, the Simmons Chapel, invites a new hymn. The Simmons Special is the title of a new soft drink that bears his name in the garret pie with his folks. Folks are named of him the name a new dance Col. Simmons. Col. Simmons will give a free banquet to the citizens and the community. This will perhaps be the final of its kind given by an individual.

Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. church, big ray at Miles Chapel, Fourth Episcopal District going to Paducah. Bishop C. H. Phillips, A. M., D. D., LL. D., M. E. church, M. E. priest, pre-eminent prelate of the C. M. E. church, who made his first appearance here since his "Fraternal Greeting to the A. M. E. Zions General Assembly." The announcement of Bishop Phillips to preach at Miles Chapel was the first time he was most recently pastored in this city. While here he won the highest esteem and respect for his work, he biased against any denomination, very conservative, but for his own first. Bishop Phillips has much to be thankful for, in his nomination can say in his official church family and home family. He has a prosperous son, a doctor, in the medical school, and a close tab on what they say about "papa," who is successful in Nashville, Tenn.; another son in Louis, Paris; and another son who is presided over as a G. O. P. delegate-at-large to Chicago, and another son who is presided over as something commendable. The slogan now is the meeting of the Fourth Episcopal District at Paducah 7-26-31.

Survior of Carrizal Fight Held by Mexicans. Captured at Water Hole. After escaping from the sight at Carrizal, Cooke said he wandered, without food and with a broken right arm for the first time. He was hospitalized at the American manchurian, and then pushed out alone for the American nurse. He was brought into Villa Aurea hole. He was brought into Villa Aurea mada and put on a train in the evening for Juargu. He was American, uniform, and bandaged arm his appearance caused no hostile demonstrations in Villa. Aurea and not even curiosity in Juargu, Mexico was confirmed by Cooke. He was shot down in the very beginning. Cooke in Corporal Cooke said, "I crawled back, with my arm dragging, to a ditch and slipped down into the corporeal undid his emergency bandage and bound up my arm. I then went back to where the horse lodgers and I was taken to the hospital. I struck out for the place where we had camped the night before. The place of the fight was named Carrizal. I saw only five men who had been shot down, but some one said Captain Boy was captured is a surprise to me. Did Not Intend to Surrender. "I reached our old camping ground about 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, and stuck around there until 8 o'clock at night. I was going to be there tosemble there. No, sir, I didn't intend to surrender. I intended to get back to my camp. For four days I wandered around, trying to work my way back we came. But I got on the wrong trail. I didn't know where I was going. I hard work finding water. Of course I did my travelling at night and hid in the mesquite in the day. There were no trails. I was going to night, but I never saw even a rattlesnake in the day time. I went to Spanish I felt doubtful about showing myself. But I got so weak from loss of blood and my arms swollen and painful, and no food, water, or medicine. My water I saw a Mexican at a well watering mules and believe me, he looked good even if he was a Mexican “On my wanderings I had picked up a Mexican clay water bottle and the first thing I did at the well was to empty the bottle six times. When the bottle was filled, the assonated head made signs for 'chow.' So he led me over to the ranch. “There were five men, three women and five kids in the house and the women slept. They all treated me just as nice as if I had been one of their own soldiers. They knew about the fight but I could only point to my arm and say 'No,' but I was not at all afraid of five days. During that time the Mexicans bathed my arm in hot water and reduced the swelling, but I wanted a doctor to set the bone. So I struck out again and I was on the way.” Worried About His Arm. “After crossing about five miles of desert my water ran out, so turned up the road, and found my arm. I was afraid of being seen in those parts, but I couldn't find any drinking place, and at last went down to a water hole. While I was drinking, I was in a state of pain and pain, and I was back to a ranch. We were about twelve miles below Villa Ahumada, I then learned. The soldier was going to take me in by train, but we found the train had to go through a long and we're ode over to the town. There they kept me in the military quarters until the Juarez train left. came up to Juarez and found a place for a man and a Mexican families in a boxcar. The soldier and all the Mexicans I met treated me kindly, and I haven't any complaint on that score. But it will seem good to me to say that I was a good man and fed and my arm set right.” Cooke enlisted from New York City. He has served six years in the army. THE LYNCHING RECORD FOR THE EIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1916. According to the record kept by the Division of Records and Research of the University of Georgia, during the first six months of the year 25 lynchings. This is nine less than the first six months of the year. Of those lynchied 23 were Negroes and two were whites. In the first six months of the year 24 were white lynchers. Five or one-fifth of those put to death were charged with rape. In the first six months of the year 24 were a boy, brushing against a girl on the street, insult, charged with attempting to escape, robbing store, killing officers of the law and murder.

W D. G. Storkh As foreasadowed in these columns many months ago, new blood—and of course, new ideas—was injected into the Board of Education, the managing influence in the public The Board consists of nine persons, appointed for three years each. The unwritten law is that six of the nine shall be men; three are to be women, and three of the nine are to be male. The board is the only person in one woman. Three vacancies are filled each year. Seldom is there a clean sweep of all three of the expiring membership; but the appointing power, the District Supreme Court, treated most of the people of Blair to the same terms. The Board is to be a “bish” in the the Board, and Mrs. Eddith Kingman Kern and Dr. Creed W. Childs were swept out of office, the Justice explaining that “as an administrative policy they thought the time had arrived for making radical changes in the personnel of the Board.” This is interpreted by those who read as they run the Board, “the Board in the past few years has not been satisfactory, and that the new blood is expected to make long needed reforms possible in the management of school affairs. The old Board, as far as its majority was concerned, was charged with being unresponsive to the population and the need of the school, and that in the well-being of the schools have writhed under the iron heel that has been grinding them to powder. There is rejoicing all over the district, among both white and colored school patrons, because it is believed that the board is at hand, and that of the old machine is at hand, and that a new order of things is in sight. The new members of the Board enter upon their work with the best staff members in the district, citizenizing the District. They expect better results than were obtainable at the beginning. They will have the unqualified support of the colored people and colored presses; they are "on the level" of the developments will be watched with interest. PROF. E. C. WILLIAMS TO BE LIBRARIAN AT HOWARD. Like a thunder-clap from a clear sky came the announcement that Prof. Edward Christopher Williams, for several years a professor of law at Howard School, had accepted the post of librarian at Howard University. The Talent-Award sacrifices of $400 per annum in salaries, receiving $2,100 at Howard as against $2,500 at Howard as against the more congenial atmosphere at Howard and the superior advantages that the future may offer to students that Prof. Williams' change of base takes from him. He is not only a professor of law but in itself is a big job, but will develop a library school for the training of students to colored students in the district, and opens a new avenue of employment for the library and scientific women. The position will make Prof. Williams dean of a department of equal law, arts and sciences, and teachers' college divisions, answerable only to President Newman and the board of It is an open secret that Prof. Williams has long been out of sympathy with the schools wits, an iron hand, and his get-ting out of the system will be an unhappy experience. His departure is another evidence of the disintegration of the Bruce machine and of Prof. Williams was an unwilling servitor. For the succession at M street, Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson and Prof. J.

FIRST SEPARATE BATTALION TO THE MEXICAN FRONTIER. With "Preparedness" as its rallying cry, the First Separate Battalion, the colored division of the District National Guard, has gone to the front. The army is still in the color of a colorless American, is strikingly shown that were the first military unit in the district brigade to be ready for action on the front, the army was still already border. With other troops still unready for action, the army was still unready to be recruited, with a long waiting list of available, many days ago, and they led all in setting into action the army. The army was at Port Myer, Va., the command, near Port Myer, the first to be prepared for the entrainment for Bisbee, N. M., from the Radio station on Tuesday. The army was in the front, over 500 strong in officers and men, and over 500 strong in officers and men. The army was in the front, headed by that gallant military, of whom James E. Walker, of the public schools, aided by a staff of as many as 1000 of the field marchers as Napoleon ever dared of. During the enlisting period, the army in True Reformers' Hall, 12th and 13th, was crowded daily and slightly. The army was in the front, under the命令 of L. Webster, had their hands full in trying to accommodate the anxious would-be soldiers. The colored boys made a fine flag. The colored march from the city to Port Myer, and won compliments from President Willam and Secretary of War Baker as these were the命令的，and the parade from the White House. It can be put down as one of the assured facts of the times that when the emergency arrives the colored army is highly处决, and take their places proudly beside their brother, who achieved undying fame at Bunker Hill, New Orleans, Lake Erie, Fort Wagner and San Juan Hill.

THE EIGHTH REGIMENT IN MARCHING ORDER—1,400 MEN ON THEIR WAY—THE GIRLS THEY LEFT BEHIND THEM AND OTHERS—READY TO BE OFFERED UP. (By Sylvester Russell). (Special Freeman Staff Correspondent). Chicago, Ill.—The final orders for the Eighth Regiment were resounded by the regimentalalmost 100 men at 8 p.m. Friday evening, June 23, and by 9 o'clock p. m. the soldiers were lined up on Forest avenue, Third-fifth street, Thirty-fifth street, marched west to Michigan avenue, then north on Michigan to the boulevard, then north on Michigan to the side of paths were the tears of joy and sorrow which came from the faces of mothers, wives, sweethearts and sisters beside the one boy of their cherished hope or final loss as a valiant soldier marching away to fight in his country and women, friends of the soldiers, carrying flags and lunches, had fallen in the midst of the tumultuous cheers of hilarity. Back of the band, far in the distant rear of the line were relatives and spectators carved and sorrow rent friends, caved and sorrow rent men in uniform and the rank and file of all representations of our nativity had assembled before taking the train for Springfield. But the boys were merry. Contrary to a song credited to the Eighth published ahead of time, here are the words they It's a long, long way to Mexico, to die, to die, America's, america Bidding our friends goodbye. The entire regiment, which numbers over 1000 people, was the first of the years many of them were dancing on the ladders. When the train pulled into the station, the train was all to the right of the other of the soldiers with wounded hearts concealed, was the bravery of the loyalists, and was the bravery of the men of the form of other rumors. It was rumored from newspaper office authorship that Governor Dunn had been approrated by the� and the leading ladders. Eighth regiment in Texas, if the boys are sent directly to the border from Springfield. This message was revered by the brawling of the French in Dennis (colored) commander, and it is said that his re-consecutive of the war was the most� internal majesties of the administration. The Eighth re-consecutive of the most-produced, and no great war was made to the men of life from humble and domestic to men of high occupations and well to do. The next day, the� was the only one of the clergates departed the Tenth cavalry massacre was the chief of theர், and the most-produced was the one of the clergates, but the sospers were the variance regarding the clergates. The most-production was the clergates. The Mexican situation is one which concerns the colored whole of theர் and the most-produced was the one which concerns the colored whole of theர். The people have beacred and thrived for fifty years in the supposed devine right, assuming to dominate over a number of the clergates of the clergates of the clergates of the other color. This assumption of the greater white faction of the mixed party, assuming that this is the white man's asimilar aroused suspicion and action, like in STOP! LOOK and LISTEN!! There is a whisper among the nations—"What will become of the Colored Race?" Two years after we were freed, a man by the name of C. H. CARBROLA was sent from England to study the race problem in America. He returned and said that his idea was, if the Colored Race had a chance, they would do as much as any race. Ten years later, another man was sent from Spain—he stopped over in Mexico, and from Mexico he came to this country and visited every state in the South. Then he tried to Spain, and began to whisper to the world, "that if the Colored Race had just one half of a chance, they would accomplish something." With their knowledge, other nations are constantly sending men to this country, and upon their return to their mother country, are adding to that ever-pervading, never still, and now years old, WHISPER. We advise that we use our head as that is what we have it for, and if we use our heads rightly, we will co-operate by putting our money together and go in business. We want YOU to buy shares with what Money you have (to spare) in the If you will buy enough shares in this Company now, you will have plenty money five years from now. The office of THE RELIABLE HOTEL COMPANY is at No. 2953 Ellis Ave., Chicago, Illinois. We want every advanced thinking member of the Colored race to co-operate with us in the way of buying shares. Our shares were first put on the market for sale, February 7th, 1916; but, before we began to sell, we rented five small buildings in the City of Chicago and went into the HOTEL BUSINESS. After paying up all expenses, in each hotel, we average a profit of $12.00 a day, which gives us a NET PROFIT of $60.00 a day from our five hotels. Now, if we can clear $12.00 a day in one small hotel, we can clear each day three thousand times $12.00, which is $36,000.00. NOW, IF IN ONE DAY WE CAN CLEAR $36,000.00, THEN IN 365 DAYS (one year), WE CAN CLEAR 365 TIMES $36,000.00, which is $13,140,000.00. We will not have all our hotels in one city, but in every city in the United States. But the most of them will be in the largest cities. After we get three thousand hotels in our possession, we will begin to buy real estate and build a large building in every city in the United States. In each large building in every large city, we will have a DEPARTMENT STORE, OPERA HOUSE, HOTEL, and OFFICE SUITES for rent. Our buildings will exceed any building in the city in which they are built. Then, we will have fine buildings of our own to visit in each city. When we shall have built a large building in each large city, then, in one of the largest cities, we will build the largest MANUFACTURING BUILDING in the world, in which we will employ thousands and thousands of men, women, boys and girls of our race to manufacture goods to supply our DEPARTMENT STORES. WE WILL SHOW TO THE WORLD THAT "THE WHISPER" OF THE COLORED RACE YEARS AGO, HAS BEEN REALIZED. More than this, after we shall have finished our BIG BUILDING in ALL the CITIES, the WHOLE WORLD WILL LISTEN, and people will come from all quarters to see OUR SUCCESS. THE WHISPER will become A TRIUMPH THUNDER. If you buy enough shares in this company NOW, it will mean Big Money to you Five Years from Now. We are seining shares at present for $1.00. Five years from now we will pay you $5.00 for every share you now pay $1.00 for—that is, five years from the day we receive your order for shares. THE RELIABLE HOTEL COMPANY is THE BEST COMPANY in which to INVEST YOUR MONEY. Because, if you buy one share in this Company, and do not buy any more shares, we will pay you, five years from the date we receive our order, $5.00 for your one share; just the same as we would pay ou $5,000.00 for buying 1,000 shares for $1.00 per share. If you Buy Shares in this Company, you will be buying in a Company that is going to invest in REAL ESTATE---Because it invests money in REAL ESTATE is the Oddest and Safest Form of investment that the world has ever known. The records found in the orient show that the ancient Babylonians co-operated in the way of putting their money together and investing in Real Estate, as far back as the time of King Ham Murabi, about 21,000 years before Christ, or four thousand years ago. How long before that time, no one knows. If it had been unsafe to invest in real estate, the world would have long ago stopped putting money into it. Three Years from FEB. 7, 1916, we will own Three Thousand Hotels And, as we have mentioned above, this will give us, three years from February 7th, 1916, a NET PROFIT of $13,140,000.00, or more, a year. Now, it will take about $3,250,000.00 to open three thousand hotels, and, if we average selling 1,000,000 shares a year, at the price of $1.00 per share, for three years in succession, five years from now we will pay out $5,000,000 and we will continue to pay out $5,000,000 a year for three succession—then, we shall have completed our work of paying $5.00 for each share we bought in this Company at $1.00 per share—and we will have purchased. At which time, our NET PROFIT will be INCREASED to about $15,000,000.00 per year. Then we will have $15,000,000.00 per year in our treasury to invest in real estate and build big buildings—and our net profit will be increasing all the time. Now. Don't you see it is Safe to buy shares, to invest your money, in the Reliable Hotel Company The extraordinary rich men and women in other races obtain the most of their wealth by co-operating in the way of putting their money together and going in business. And every time we come home at night, we can see all the big buildings, and the splendid homes—and does it not occur to us that somebody owns them? In this country there are at least thirty-five million homes, office buildings, factories and stores—somebody owns them all. HOW MUCH OF THIS WEALTH BELONGS TO OUR RACE.

THE FREEMAN, AI; ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER THE FREEMAN, AI; ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER the case of Villa, whose history is now known, that will make America and all its people now reckon with the deeds of the people and their people of the race of darken him in America and over it, but even the global and the policyers have ever been brave and the soldiers will be loyal and when the ultimate-anticipate American citizens are over the colored America, the city will be the home of their rights, especially in the South where freedom was born but buried. Justice at home is the ground which which is the American is aiding his white brother to save our homes and country. This will be the most important to us who are the people who will be white brother from annihilation, not like the Civil War, and in both wars the white man has to crave the black man to hold him to victory. But I disagree with a portion of the editorial which appeared in the Chicago, American, and the period of June 24, where it read as follows: B. is a war correspondent all right, but a wise one said: "Our young war correspondent would rather be out of the place in the town the life of the sending news outs of it. And we kind of think the wise one got the dope on our young townsman." Timothy Theams Fortune Quoted. The Colored American Review has made its first appearance with T. Thos. E. S. and as a man who are in the world should be. Mr. Fortune is regarded as the greatest living editorial writer of his face. The day he died was the first of the New York Age, the paper he found was a big mistake. Fred R. Moore who owns the Age, came up under Mr. F. E. S. and he was also by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. Later Mr. Moore took private stock in his son-in-law, Lester A. Walton, with a western known Jewish theatrical speculator, revealed by a law-suit with Billy King, the actor in which Moore lost his money and the eventual "The Eighth Regiment is the Negro regiment—and the new freemen of the army fight bravely wherever they are sent in the service of the republic that gave them liberty." There is just as much American blood in the regiments as in the white regiments and as to their liberty they were most all born since slavery and they are willing to fight against odds to help their erring and crippled factionaries in time of war or tumult. For the great, the white face majority of the great, the white face majority of domination and wealth, which even the poor white men have been the outcome of whatever white men may meet as oppressors, not as they design it to be in the field of war, but as the enemy the Creator and Ruler of all mankind. Before leaving for war two of the privateers were married, Bradden Holland to Lillian Owens. The War Correspondent Melee. When it comes to a showdown, nothing but real merit of ability can ever command distinction in the newspaper's business and that the business and that the war are the core of the colored race to represent the colored newspaper service. The first man selected was Sergt. Langston Mitchell of the Elighth Regiment, which gun squad and as her target mill will be soon artist on the Chicago American. Some of his cartoons of colored relation have recently appeared in the Chicago Defender, the colored local paper. Newspaper will be called by the local paper, a newspaper syndicate. But there will later be two war correspondents. Frank Young, acting managing editor and sporting writer and a Chicago graduate, who is now a uniformed re为民 of the same record. For the part with the next call of volunteers for service. There were two bits of humor last week. Frank Young had not reported at the army for the volunteer roll call. He was on a street to the among citizens when two armed soldiers of the regiment came up and after inquiring of his name, grabbed him as a delinquent and marched him in to report. The other punny-pun of mongochet chatted about the city, which came out in the Chicago, Illinois, Idea, the next biggest colored newspaper, quoted as follows: "Where is our young war correspondent, Carey B. Lewis, whose travels through the region, Regina, Canada years have been in unusually told in a most forceful way in the Defender? Where is our brave little townman at Camp Lincoln so often and defying death in order to write a good newspaper story for his paper? He is among the best of the defenders of the border? He is not.

Bryant, President B. is a war correspondent all right; but a wise one said: "Our young war correspondent would rather be trained in sending news out. And we kind of think the wise one's got the dope on our young townman." **Fortune Quoted.** The Colored American Review has made its first appearance with T. Thosias, a young writer who should be. Mr. Fortune is regarded as the greatest living editor writer of his race. That he was domiciled from the Bronx to New York was a big mistake. Fred R. Moore who owns the Age, came up under Mr. Fortune. Later it is said he was aided by the writer of the letter. Later Mr. Moore took private stock in the Lafayette theater in the name of his in-law, Lester. Lester, a Jewish man, with a speculator, revealed by a law-suit with Billy King, the actor in which Moore lost his money. The Washington which made history. Returning to the latest philosophy of Mr. Fortune's comment, his expressions regarding resident John and his brainy important and far reaching that due respect for their value requires that Fortune must be quoted in part "President Wilson has shown in all that he has said and done during his time in office, and he has done his statesmanship for the colored American citizens except one of subordination to the white man, the member of the class had before the war. "It is very necessary to have in the White House as successor to President Woodrow Wilson, to help him, broad enough in his statesmanship to comprehend the present racially unequal situation of the people of the country and the times that the needs require." This of Colonel Roosevelt: we are colored Americans who prefer some other man to Colonel Roosevelt, but it may be said of Colonel Roosevelt, but it may be said of Colonel Roosevelt, by experience and not found wanting in those broad conceptions of citizenship which include the colored American in its larger as well as its smaller CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (By W.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPALED News of the Nation's Metroplis White Boys in Eastern School Refuse to Conduct in Oratory with Negro Lafette Theatre becoming Fine Playhouse - Miss Lizzie Freeman tells of Waco Horror. Special to The Freeman: NEW YORK June 26.—Color prejudice cropped out at the Wilson Meade Academy at Nyack, New York, an exclusive estate at the Washington State, at the New York, Jr., the only Negro student at the Washington State, at the New York, and a oratorical contest last Friday, held as a part of the commencement festivities. When it was learned that Young Morris was not the first of the speakers openly rebelled, claiming that they were afraid to go up against the tobacco speaker. The hearing of Young Morris was the first to test is an amusing incident and has brought about a situation at that in turn to the following. The concern at the school. Several weeks ago Morris represented this same content of private schools held at Hamilton College. There were 120 schools represented and Young Morris was the only student at the Washington State, at the second prize. The preliminaries to the final contest was held at the Mt. Vergote, at the 10th school competed, Morris being the only solo student in the contest. The spoke on the subject. A plea for Cuba, "and the service was the question," was awarded the first prize. Morris was highly complimented by the judges for his splendid ability and he readily be- The law is the first of the first. The law is the state contest which was a far more popular one, and not allowed the annual, at the same time, to the school, reveals a most interesting situation. Your correspondence has discussed the case and the situation claimed that it was not because he was a Negro, but because he was a speaker as a speaker, that they were afraid of Shining, at the school young Morris has made a brilliant record and has come into much interest in the case. The class record has been for above his class record and he has done so for the first time. The case against the worth of the colored bowling to compete. Young Morris is the first colored student to enter the school. The case was not the first student and is one of the strongest private institutions in this section of the country. Young Morris, who is only black and white of age, is the most brilliant young men in the race. He is especially gifted as a book and is a great one of the most well-known men, he is frequently in demand as a public speaker. He has attracted wide attention as an orator and has spoken before the state of the most notable gatherings in the country. His speech on "Universal Peace" brought forth favorable comment from President Wilson and also William Jennings Bryan, who regarded the product as coming from an especially precocious mind. Young Morris is the son of Dr. Charles S. Morris, a famous orator and pulpiteer and, who for years has been pastor of one of the largest Baptist churches in the city of Norfolk, Va. Your correspondent saw young Morris last Saturday and was impressed with the many bearing and promise of the young man. He left shortly after an interview with your correspondent for Philadelphia, where he began a two weeks' speaking tour. He has engagements to speak in several of the churches of that city and will meet many of the important conferences of that city. He plans to spend the summer with his father and will return here next fall, where he plans to continue his education. He will go to Harvard at the conclusion of the first history education. Young Morris is the type of young American who is reflecting creditably upon the race and giving an idea of what is to be the manhood of the Negro in the future. Lafayette Theater Becoming Fine Amusement Center. Since the Elite Amusement Company has taken hold of the Lafayette theater becoming one of the most interesting and interesting centers in the industry and is doing much to solve the amusement question for the Negro performer in the Negro theater. The theater has become an educational center and is affording an outlet of the theater's ability of the Negro, which is doing much to lift the work of the Negro performer to a higher and more enduring level. The theater has been transformed from a vaudeville house where the Negro was seen only in light character to a major best in the drama, such as are seen in the leading Broadway playhouses of the American actor and actress seen. Visitors to this city will do well on course to be a part of the program here. The company plans to control a chain of theater for colored people in cities where the audience comes to the stage nightly, gets a warm reception from the audience when he reveals the work of the performers, and sees a beautiful playhouse and the Elite Amusement Company is made up of a group of motors who have made it possible for the refined men and women of the race to express themselves in drama. Miss Freeman Reveals Atrocities of Waco Lynching. Five hundred members shuttered last Wednesday evening when Miss Elizabeth Freeman, speaking at a meeting held under the auspices of the National Association for theancement of Colored People, at St. Philips P. E. Church, told of the atrocities that occurred in connection with a coloring some time ago in the public square of Waco, Texas, following her investigation of the Miss Freeman revealed conditions that one could hardly believe could exist in a civilized community and that a coloring would be the most thrilling recitals ever heard in this city and throws a sidelight on the conditions existing in the South and Negro in this city and country. Before Miss Freeman spoke several addressors, the object of association were made by close members of the organization. Hon. James W. Johnson presided and special music was furnished by the choir of St. Philip E. Church. Roy Nash, the newly elected secretary of the church, was the first fronting the organization at the present time and the necessity of every man and woman of the race allying themselves with the newly elected bishop of the Zion Church, made his first public address since the elevation to his new office. Bishop Lee said in his case of the new bishop that he insist our rights in whatever section of the country we live in and that what was needed at this time was young leaders. Bishop Lee said that the new rights of the race. He urged co-operation as one of the great assets in the development of the church. He urged Major Moton for his compromise in the case of his wife who was ejected from a Pullman car in the South. Bishop Lee said that leadership of his kind was essential to Negro and place us in a weak position. Meeting for Mannassas School.

As lawyers aspire to be judges, and preachers to be bishops, just so the "lay" writer hopes at some day to do the best in his line. Perhaps the magazine will class as the "lay" writer's reward. William Edward Scott, the well known artist of Indianapolis, has been at Tuskegee for several weeks, engaged in painting portraits of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, also those of Mrs. Washington and Principal Moton. A publication of that city speaking of Mr. Scott, said that he has made several studies of Negro life in the surrounding country, and the most striking scene is the Institute grounds, which he plans to include in an exhibit of his work in New York City. It is said that the position of Recorder of Deeds at Washington, D.C., was lost to the Colored people because they wouldn't get together on a candidate. The old spirit of, if I can't you "shan't" ruled, and which generally out that way. However, it is by no means certain that President Wilson was held by the rivalry of Colored candidates. The Alphonso and Gaston courtesy as a rule, does not exist among candidates for a given position, no matter of what race. We would, never, theless, prefer to think that the president did have this in mind; that it was the only reason a Colored man was not appointed. The fact that the office laid idle for two years gives color to the theory that he was doing some considerable debating as to its disposition in the meanwhile. It is thought that Senator Taggart stuck his pick in at the wrong place when he went against the free distribution of seed in the United States senate the other day. Most every one likes a nice package from Washington that is other than some dry tract, setting forth some one's views about something that's generally too high and airy for ordinary human consumption. Nice tested seed from Washington is a positive joy. From the farmers to the school children, hall the gifts with delight. Then, too, there's a decided feeling that the government should give a little back for all that is done or it. This may be a trifling view, but a little attention in the right way goes mighty far. This has nothing to do with economy, but it has to do with popularity, the thing for which so many strive. Evidently the government of Mexico does not wish to be known as a defacto government. The Carranza reply makes no reference to his government in that dubious sense. A defacto government implies the possibility of a government de jure, one that has been temporarily put out of commission or where a seceding people have set up a government in the face of an existing government. Neither of the conditions exist in Mexico, consequently it is a mission to call the only government defacto government to the impoundment of the standing of that government. At the worst, Carranza's administration is a provisional government, from our viewpoint, owing to our notion of that country's unstability. As Carranza doubtless visits it, there are no qualifiers; it is plainly government of Mexico. The heroes of Carrizal are coming in for sulendid praise by our race publications. A few of them speak of the stand they made as a sacrifice worthy of a great country and with out the added sting by way of reference to the insulted race of which they were members. There are times to parade our wounds, and there are times when we should join the great chorus of glory sang in memory of honorable deeds without stint or bias or reservation. We, so to speak should offer our sons to war ungrudged and ungrateful. We shouldfer to snatch back their heroism because prejudice and discrimination are in the land. It is our part to come up with a clean bill of lading of transfer, and when it is all said and done we can then take up the burden of hewing out a better fate. The bat tieflef is no place for civil strife. The Colored American Review, a national monthly magazine of New York, announces that it has secured the services of T. Thomas Fortune as editor. The publication is to be congratulated, owing both to the worth of Mr. Fortune and his reputation. His recent careful, interesting and informing work seen in the Philadelphiian Times has interested the former editor is still alive. He has varied experience, some of which was with big, first-class dalles, but it was on his own publication, the New York Age, which he at one time owned, that he made his reputation as a clear, level-headed thinker and a forbicible writer. Mr. Fortune has ever been in the thick of big men; they were his familiaris, white or Colored consequently his schooling has been excellent. For journalistic work His mind is still acute, his memory retentive, and stored full of information—a replete repository. We congratulate Mr. Fortune, owing to his widened field of activity and opportunity. It will be borne in mind that if there's going to be any 300th anni- versary of the Negro's appearance in America by way of celebration in a big way, this city, Indianapolis, is at least among the candidates as a suitable locality for such an event. Papers are being already carded, calling attention to the propriety of some fitting demonstration in 1919. In 1912 this publication suggested that the then far off date should be celebrated, as Boston had appropriated 1920 for remembering the coming of the grims. We do not not want the possibility of a big bounty in 1919, but we do wish to be in on it. We wish to confer and act with other men and institutions to the end that the efforts of the past have been great and worthy and which are to serve as incentives for the future. We are in for a general movement and no one man's band, as it has been more than once. So the little notion that it was formed in one of the pockets of the man as well as just get big and permit itself to work in conjunction with the greater individuals and concerns of the country or there "won't be no show." SHE NEEDS A MEDAL. A story comes from Pittsburgh that a young white man and two companions were standing on a corner one evening not long since chatting and joking, when one of the young man's friends bet him $1 that he did not dare to kiss the first girl that came along. Watkins, the young man referred to, took up the challenge wagered a dollar, and in cavalier humor set himself for the exciting task. It perchanced that the first girl that showed upon the scene was a good-looking Colored girl who lived nearby. Nothing daunted. Watkins waded in and without much adobe embraced in her desdemona, planting a kiss or to just where kisses grow. Watkins then turned to his friends collected a la C. O. D. But the matter did not turn out as the gay Lothair expected. It is not stated why the Colored girl concluded to become offended. It may have been owing to downright opposition to trifling with her affections when discovering the sale price. It may have been her deep rooted aversion to amalgamation. It may have been the finer thing of genuine protest against such a sudden and peculiar declaration of love—familiarity without sufficient acquaintance. At any rate, the young man was arrested in a few hours, and charged with disorderly conduct. It is not stated that the judge thought the case was serious. In deed he thought it rather humorous according to the light punishment as sessed for the youth's intrepidity Watkins very much to his chagrin paid $3.50 for his oscillatory adventure tiring $3.50 "net" on the transference, not to speak of some little inconvenience and notoriously that he did not appreciate Miss Stanton, the Colored girl doubtless feels vindicated, in the sense, perhaps, that her person should be just as free from violation as that of the proudest Miss Ann of the white race. There are some Colored girls we are afraid, who would have been proud of the distinction, setting down that day as a red letter day in the history of their small affairs. While the matter is not to be thought of too seriously, one can not help reflecting that Miss Stanton is possessed with one of two sterling qualities: She is genuinely self-respecting, virtuous, as the term is understood popularly, or she is a fine race personage, in that she refuses to cheapen her race by the recognition of superior claims from any source whatsoever. ONE—FREEMAN—HILL 7 5 16 PEACE IN SIGHT. Carranza wants peace, if the tone of his note is judged correctly. President Wilson wants peace, and, as Christian gentlemen should, What's the matter with getting it? The president of Mexico makes a plain case. He says that the stay of the United States troops simply means trouble. At the same time he admits the other difficulty, the border troubles. He is willing to do whatever he finds it possible to do to meet the one great and reasonable demand of the United States. The Carranza note, in part, says: "It was also the Mexican government that earnestly suggested the plan for cantonments along the boundary line during the conferences of Ciudad, Juarez and El Paso. Government is disposed now, as it has always been, to grant an immediate constitute the true causes of the conflict between the two countries, to wit: "The American government believes reasonably that the insecurity of its frontier is a source of difficulty, and the Mexican government on its part believes that the stay of American troops on Mexican territory aside from being a trespass on its enrightement of exertion is in immediate conflicts. Therefore, the withdrawal of American troops on the one hand and the protection on the frontier on the other, are the two essential problems, the solution of which must be the directing object of both governments. "The Mexican government is willing to consider the quick and practical measures prompted by a spirit of record the remedies which should be applied to the present situation. "Several Latin American countries have offered friendly mediation to the Mexican government, and the latter has accepted it in principle. Therefore, the Mexican government only awaits information that the government of the United States would be disposed to accept this mediation for the purpose mentioned above or whether it is still of the belief that the same results may be attained by means of direct negotiations between both governments." The tender of the offices of the Latin American countries, while salariy, could have but little good effect, even if accepted. Cramer can do the job or nobody can. All the mediation in the world, nor all of the single bandit from crossing the border line. Only the activity of the soldiers of that government can hinder the trespass without that other alternative, an occupation by the United States troops, and which is held to be a certain prelude to war. The tone of the note is distinctly quieting and doubtless will have that effect, both in Mexico and in the United States, may out of the difficulty looks promising. SUFFER AND BE STRONG. The natural philosophy law which says that what's lost in velocity is lost in time, as it is, in length, as it concerns the lynchings that have occurred this year up until THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER this time. According to the records kept at Tuskegee Institute, there have been lawsuits in the United States for the past half year, compared with thirty-four for the same period a year ago. As it has always been the greater portion of the lynched were Negroes, of which there were twenty-three and two white persons. It will be seen that the Negroes practically are the only persons subject to mob rule. It is this feature that we so stubbornly oppose, and which must be fought down at any cost, to use an expression that stands for an uncompromising situation. Lynching should go even if the mob were in proximity of persons, but most emphatically it is not to be practiced on a particular class if the quiet of the country is expected to maintain. THEATRES HERE AND SPORTS THE AROUND THE CITY OF NEW YORK By Jack Trotter AT THE NEW LINCOLN THEATER. (By Jack Trotter.) New York City Special. Watching films of moving picture plays and amusing vaudeville is becoming one of the fixed diversions of the greater public who attend the performances given at the New Lincoln Theater. The management of this theater has just consummated a number of ball players was presented to the players the most hits and Poles win the bat. While the number lynched for the past six months has not been so large, yet it has already balanced the number of the whole of last year because of the atrociousness of some of the happenings, especially that of the happening at Waco, Texas. The number that horror have been set off in admit also sent to this publication for reproduction. While we admit that we have seen nothing more interesting, from the viewpoint of gruesome description, yet we hold that to set it forth in these columns would mean a distinct loss to the Negro race. The writer, who gathered and compiled the facts of the burning, was a complete mass murder in nothing that would tend to show the Negroes by the thousands of white persons who crowded, as on a gala day, to witness a demonstration of "how we treat "Niggers." With all due respect to the writer, and who had in mind the destruction of the evil, if we may thus express it, he has overshot the mark if he expects that a wide-spread publicity of his findings will benefit the Negro race or the country at large. The scenes described, as a whole, were the most important demonstration of the art of cruelty. And the description kept pace with the exhibition. Excess description of oppression and hate easily stands for those qualities in a people, and if it is readily concluded that the people, the white people, are obsessed with excessive hate, it will be reasoned that it is not without excuse. Then again, if ten or more thousand people of one community, "nailed to the ground" practically the whole community, may pleasure in such spectacles, we may rest assured that sympathy with them is widespread. So it ill becomes us to help in making it known, how we treat "Niggers," in such a way as to inflict injury on ourselves without a compensating good. That a Negro was burned, we think, is a sufficient announcement. We can imagine the harrowing details. The recital of horrors dulls the finer senses, even of ourselves, and whoif repeated often, will cease to be arrested in the descriptions of other hardships unless they occur those of the past, and thus we will unconsciously become too hardened and too expectant. Then, too, the thoughtful are careful, as it concerns circulating their misfortunes. The Jews do not do so. What we know of their great suffering comes through other lips. "Weep and we weep alone" is a strange saying, but true enough. This does not mean that would undermine us inasmuch a sense of resignation, and which becomes a race that finds itself a world's target. Dr. Booker T. Washington one time advised against the over advertising of our woes. He was right; it gets nothing but contempt. The kingly nobility is good to incorporate to some extent, which is no less sorrowful, concerning untwanted happenings even when the overcoming overcome will be no less effective if unattended with wailing and gnashing of teeth.

THOMPSON, AMERICA'S SOURCE WITH A WONDERFUL BRASS WITH A WONDERFUL BRASS New York was treated to a concert of exceptional merit under the imminent Saturday, June 29, at Manhattan's Jazz Club. Mr. Thompson is a teacher of bross instruments, a leader of trained abilits in the orchestra, and a trainer of Kneller Hall, Houslow, England, the band school where only bandmen with scholarships can enter training for the orchestra. British Two special features of the program were a French horn quartet, with a first solo played by the pianist. This proved to be a master of his instrument. Sixteen trombones played "The Mule," by Will Kinsley, and the viola was indeed a novelty. The purity and roundness of tone exhibited by the players of these instruments made it very great pleasure to listen to them. The Pilgrim's Chorus," from Tannhauser, was an anthem that never been privileged to hear before. Twenty trombones played the theme of this magnificent number and the effect was a revelation. Mr. Thompson is to be congratulated upon the musical success of, this prose, of the idea that New York should have a concert brass band of merit for years, and he has finally convinced the public that he can play the hands of a right man. Thompson is the man, and we hope he will soon favor the public with such another one. Mr. David I. Martin, as manager of this concert, has again come to the front with another of his idealistic ideals realized and that he could be made also that New York could be made to love a brass band in the hands of Mr. Thompson, and he has proven to his own satisfaction that those who came to soff but remained to pray."

Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. With these employees, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to the employees for the settlement of the controversy is as follows: "Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods: 1.

By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act). Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employees are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: No other body with such an intimate knowledge of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned position in the public confidence. The rates the railroads may charge the public for transportation are now largely fixed by this Government board. Out of every dollar received by the railroads from the public nearly one-half is paid directly to the em ployees as wages; and the money to pay increased wages can come from no other source than the rates paid by the public. The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its control over rates, is in a position to make a complete investigation and render such decision as would protect the interests of the railroad employees, the owners of the railroads, and the public.

After having tremendous success in North Carolina we jumped to the good old days of Virginia. Week of June 17th we were invited to a great crowd that ever backed a Colts show tent, and we had the S. R. go out every night. The people here were all in the state of North Carolina were anxiously awaiting our coming here, but when the air was the big wave the top spread in the air the Colts were the big crowd the Pullys' big show, so many perceptions and new faces, but after that we were in his mouth and touched to the base the big fast singing and dance.

The center of attraction in the way of free exhibitions is the Negro Hoosler aeronaut, Grant C. Watkins, of Indianapolis. This man claims to be the only Negro balloonist in the United States, and a revelation of his career brings forth many stirring events that occurred at some time of the 1920s. "We are at some time of the 1920s,"்கிள்ட்ட் (White). Owing to the rain near the time of ascension the aeronaut did not make his ascent until later in the evening, when he reached a remarkably high altitude before making his double parachute descent, which worked to perfection. A prominent Andrewman said that it was one of the last flights ever made in Huntington County. The ascension was not marred by an accident of any nature. His wife Lulu and himself do all of the work around their part of the free exhibition grounds and they are workers. Watkins makes a double parachute drop, and owing to this he must reach a much higher altitude before he can safely cut loose. This is the second ascent of 1916, that Mr. Watkins has made, the other being at the Indianapolis festival on May 6. From the Huntington (Ind.) Press (white). 81 THEATER, ATLANTA, GA. (By S. A.

S. H. Dudley Makes His Debut as a Co-Star With Dave Marion in the Most Sumptuous Modern Bur- lesque Production Seen Upon the Stage. The arrival of a crowd which lined the sidewalk at half past seven, in front of the Columbia Theater, on Wednesday evening, indicated that the Columbia Amusement Company, incorporated by the bartender and producer, has come to stay quite an indefinite while. It was the seventh week of their run, and the anecdote noted colored star of Smart Set Musical comedy fame, was to appear as a special feature, was a noteworthy fact, and Dave Marion has his opening engagement. And not only that the fact that both stars appeared in a strong scene together is the new highlight of Dave Marion's a modern producer who has sought to meet with public interest in traditional stage teology. In new advent three marions Marion has done no other showman has yet done, and the most leisure and its patronage up to the high standard of musical comedy. He has given the public what they have seen and color together on the stage and every country available represented in the production. And yet the most interesting one is the first white man in the show business who has shown conclusively that he is unaffected and has even been one of the real true type of our countrymen. Marion is a star. He appears in a scene with a colored star, and hisutation stars has never done before. In the Ziegfeld "Follies" Bert Williams was a star whose name had vanished from the bill board, and his press conference was a roundabout. In Dava Marion's "Follies" S. H. DUDLEY S. H. Dudley is still a colored star who appears on an equal basis with the white star in the same scene and in the streets, which places Marion, in history. "The Bath of Death," a purely burlesque staturette scene which followed, "The Bath of Death," a big dancer of much merit, and Minnie Burke. It was equal and meritorious, but there was no song, but there was nudity in tights which stood on the high desert plane presentable in burlesque only. Helen Clark and the moth were present, and in a specialty with Inez de Verdier versatility of wit and action that was cleverer to a high comedy relation, which held the audience almost to its heart. With argument she coped in the spectacular cabaret with Marion as the gruff, uncultivated proprietor with the argument with the copper. With the gruff, uncultivated rag chorus and the Dixie Finale were produced to a close. Alfred L. Rackett's orchestra, with a good trap drummer, was a valuable addition to the show William Roache is manager of the house. BILLY KING & COMPANY AT THE GRAND. Hattie McIntosh and Howard Kelly Hold the team's teammate inbound "Hill's Last Sin." "Hotel Nobody," a farce comedy of last season, filled the house last Monday evening with a tale in waiting for the next instantaneous hit. Billy King, as the hired man, again developed all kinds of tricks, and in a way that has never been called, recalled. Hattie McIntosh, as the landlady. Mrs. Nobody, was a treat in her legibility.ate vocation. Howard Kelly, on the stage and a big comedy monkey, was a pleasure scene. Billy Walker, the bell boy, was right at home in the studio. Estelle Harris, gia Kelly, as the cook; Estelle Harris, Greenbury Holmes and Elwood Brown, as roomers, were all capable in the scene and dance, and the chorus, "My send 128 in stamps and get either one of these numbers. P S. If you are feeling downhearted, send for "The Loseome Blues", Ricketts & Bradford, Standard Theatre, 12th and South Street Pretty Baby," introducing Anna Holt, Babe Brown and Mr. Holmes, was a nice number. The girl was all nicely arranged, and a credit to W. Benton Overstreet, the white vaudeville host, the white vaudeville had Pearl & Pearl the girl a fine singer and dancer and the boy a great dancer by nature, who was a great dancer in Russian dances. Edwards & Lousebilled as the vaudeville surprise was a good team, but the surprise was his head in a barrele which won on hearty hand. Gibson & Adler, a tenor and piano accompanist, create in his head a barrele which overtures preceding the show. Eighth Regiment pictures at Fort Dunn are a fine July 10 and continuing for one week. THEATRE HATTIE McNTOSH KING. The last half of the week "His Last Sin," an emotional drama which made such a hit last season, duplicated its former success to a full house at overproduction, which story was dwell upon in last season's review, need not be people who did not see the play, which is one of the finest in the King repertoire, to the cast after a much needed rest, assumed the titular role in which three starships the plot of a human and emotional drama and the low life, sneaky confederate, incidental to his criminal history, and the last was killed in his effort to gain possession of a respectable, innocent girl, Howard Kelly, as the two escaped convicts, naturally held the center of the stage in the progress of the story. Ellly King, as a straight girl, conceived the American film, a sneaky fellow kept the audience in a cheery mood throughout his scene of argument, which was then extracted laughter from an audience with more natural and legitimate case, this needed type of character of character of type in character. All was well until the third scene, a ridden manner, interrupted by a grand ovation from the audience. Then the ghastly scene of a murder, with its sensibility, and there in the wake of her remorse you see dramatic intensity pictured only once more. And in those beautiful eyes of nature you could see the melting voice of pathos, the look of scorn, the hush of stifness, which led a human soul to follow like a lamb found ourselves applauding Hattie McIntosh, an actress who has played many parts, and whose character assumed his part with artful cunning and vigor, and Kelly is a natural born actor, gifted by nature and character work which call for expression, mimicry, dramatic force and instinct, and in all of these Kelyss's roles the two artists held the house spell-bound, and as the curtain descended could be seen that many had sat in of the support, Estelle Harris, as the mother was acceptable, and Gerald Trachtenberg, as the captured much attention, Georgia Kelly, as the daughter loved by the convict, was satisfactory. Theresa Burroughs, as the secretary, was salvation lassie. J. C. Eoone, who lost his lines at times, was good and looked the part in the secret service officer, Gerald Trachtenberg, as fair showing in a straight part, and Walker is good as a comedian and freest, we can afford to excuse his dramatic shortcomings. J. C. Eoone, turned in, and Mr. Fields, as the father, completed the cast. In King in adding musical numbers in plaintive scenes must be thanked for pleasing invinations. Miss Saunders' song, 'There's Nothing Like a Plotter,' and the prison scene from II Trovatore were all well received. Anna Holt, excellent in the higher range in power and sweetness, and Greenbury Holmes, whose sweet voice or oratory is occasionally overtaxed. The white vaudeville acts had Sol Berns, a Hebrew comedian, second from left, and the most pleased all. Martin & Florence, clever variety jugglers, and Hugel Bros. through, Sam Gardner and Josie Graham were the winners in the "Walking Contest," as did the large and Manager W Anthony Johnson was pleased.

After this affair with Mexico, will the United States allow it to be said that the United States will not the first in war, last in peace and last in the hearts of their white countrymen? The Bradfords, "Mule" and Jeanette presented a very laughable sketch, using exclusively their own songs and original dances. Prof. Rickettess of the Standard orchestra, and "Mule" Bradford, have presented a very funny performance in Philadelphia, producing their own compositions and those of the best colored writers. After a successful engagement of six weeks at Gibson's New Standard, Miss Bradford attends at a short rest. Miss Bush has received numerous offers for engagements from managers in all parts of the country. The Frank Brown dramatic company will present an engagement at the Standard, presenting an original playlet by Mr. Brown, entitled "Obidiah Of the Navy." Prominent in the cast are Brown and Dumont and Alonzo Fennelson. Huggins and Baumbragh introduced an excellent skit. Miss Baumbragh is only a forerunner for the dressmaker, a good artist, and a clever dancer. Huggins talks, sings and dances better than the majority of blackface comedians. It would be well for a goodly portrayer to sing and talking sets to have their upon by the PURE FUN Board of Censorship. Bert Williams, the great colored comedian, is again a conspicuous figure in the world. His contract expired last season, it was rumored that he would not be seen with the ties again. Frank Piney takes his place, such a demand from the theatrical going public for the presence of Bert Gierzief, a ginger Ziegfeld prevailed upon him to sign another three-year contract. The glamour of his wonderful talent is in no wise obscured by the galaxy of star sets with which he is surrounded. The Smart Set Company, with Whitney and Tutt, will open the season of Lew Hall's Some o' This an LEW HALL'S COLUMN. Some O' This and Some O' That.

In creating more sensation than the Mexican war, and judging from the success of the theater the people are not much worried about fighting the Mexicans. Instead, the opposition to the 81 Theatre has closed its doors, which means one more theater to open. Austin, who have been more than pleasing the people with his own written ten dramas, is a Colored producer, Mr. Reevlin, the owner of four Colored theaters in Chattanooga, Georgia, well pleased with the show, and intends putting on nothing but high-class dramas in the future. But the theater was very well versed in show business. 1916-17 the last week in August or the first week in September, at Gibson's office in New York, where Tutt are now writing a new show which promises to excel their great work. Tutt are now associated with Corwell, for several years associated with the Smart Set Company, will have mature management of the business affairs, and will be "in man's ever-changing rise and fall. You'll find there a woman behind it all." Mr. John T. Gibson rightly deserves great credit for his wonderful achievement of making the Standard theater one of the leading theaters of the city and one of the most important one who has had many opportunities for observation. Mrs. Gibson is the power behind, or shall we call the office door. I heard the Chief of Police say to Mr. Gibson: "Mr. Gibson, you give one Gibson is compelled, not reluctantly, to share honors for this with Mrs. Gibson. Gibson is compelled, not reluctantly, to share honors for this with Mrs. Gibson. Gibson who passes censor on any unknown act that plays the Standard, and Mr. Gibson has learned to rely on the censor, and mended to Mr. Gibson and he has any doubt as to its merits, Mrs. Gibson is given to see the act, and if it is good as has been represented, the act is seen as the Standard. Mrs. Gibson is good to look up and when she smiles like her sweet "Lucky Gibson" she is domestically inclined and loves her beautiful home, but never-the-less she shows up, after the fall of the curtain on the last act Mr. and Mrs. Gibson may be seen in one of the three equally important performances. Mrs. Gibson moves in the elite circles of Philadelphia society and makes what is best suited for this class of the Standard's patrons. Her criticisms are intelligent and impartial and make her theatrical affairs of the Standard theater. Have You Met Her. A maid there was, and she dyed her hair, And robed herself with an infant stare— And then the Fool came by; He looked at her face, he looked at door hair. The look he saws in the maiden's eyes, Was modest pride and pained surprise; The Fool apologized. He wrapped her face, he wor- shipped her hair. This malden was wise, as maidens are, And the sport was good while his coin did last. When the money failed—she flew. The fool awoke, but alas! slack The maiden nor the coin will even come back. As 'round the world he strays. He grieves when he thinks of her shy young glance, And oh how he's longing for just one chance To use his new black-jack.

Mr. Bailey has two assistant house manager, he persons of Mr. Fuller and Mr. Roberts. Gentlemen are great help around the house and have lots of friends among him. They are also good colleagues at all times. The chief has two chauffeurs that run his two cars, these boys are Grover and Alfred, and they Sterling has returned from her vacation in Colorado, and she reports a fine and handsome case. Miss Aperman is as much as she looks the picture of health. Mr. Roberts acted as cashier during the absence of Mrs. Ladies man, is a favorite with the performers in general. He is very manerable.

THE BIRTH OF BASEBALL” IS CELEBRATED IN COOPERSTOWN special to THE FREEMAN. COOPERSTOWN, N. Y.—The origina- tion of baseball has been found. Gena- ral Doublebay, a West Point graduate, is native of Cooperstown, based by Team Tampa, the mong- nial League, with being the man who has brought joy to millions of Americans as the founder of the modern game. He was Doublebay, according to Tennessee, first laid out the diamond and fixed the location of the players which despite the many changes the game has undergone, have not Celebration of "the birth of baseball" in Cooperstown was begun here June 30 in connection with the opening of a new airline passenger station. H. N. Mempel, president of the New York National League baseball club, was among the early arrivals. BOWERS' EASTERNS MET DEFEAT IN A DOUBLE HEADER. Special to The Freeman One of the greatest crowds of baseball enthusiasts witnessed the famous Bowers Easterns-Cleveland Stars game in 1985. The greatest throng of rooters ever following a baseball team accompanied Columbus boys in a doubleheader and dominant down in defeat. Manager Bill Lewis and Prince Ed Bowers certainly showed the Clevelanders what Columbus could accomplish in many congratulations. In the first game with Henry and Perry, the score was 10-6. Moore and Williams battery for Cleveland, the measure of the Forest City ads was taken in the score of 6-4. Bowers sent in Henry to assist Wells and Flood, Cleveland substituting Moore in Michigan, yet the Columbus team won with the score of 8 to 6. Both games were fast and the fans were pleased beyond measure. The remarkable feature of the game was the score of 8-6. Columbus outfield, vk. Ware, Reid and Burrell. Burrell, of Bowers' Easterns demonstrated his ability to grow the deep left catching Dunlap. Cleveland's famous base runner, at home by three innings, was the signal for great aplause. Reid of Bowers and Roy Moore of Cleveland has the honors for long hits—three bases. Both games were pitcher's battles; both games was the main object of both teams. Bowers' led the score in both games and it was remarkable to observe the difference in the team to overtake Columbus. In one long drive toward the motorodrome, the Cleveland lads, Reid made and almost impossible catch. Seeing the ball coming and realizing he must do something, the ball sphere and caught it backward. Not to be outdone with Reid's wonderful feat. Bobby was the only occasion to duel. A usual feature was the organized club of lady rooters for Bowers Eastern to the Cleveland folk. Though the ladies from Columbus were not suffragists yet if it was left to the love of these ladies would be complimented with the honor, Columbus organization was headed by a man with American flags and Bowers Eastern's pennants and occupied a special section of the grand stand in charge of the officers. Miss Lena Reid, chief of the lady rooters, was ably assisted by her lieutenants, Miss Bessie Shipp and Miss Elizabeth Shipp, stated the members of the fair sex took the run out of the Cleveland crowd, with their witticisms and congratulations, manner, wit and the race. It can be stated further evidence of their beauty and entertainment will be in evidence when they play in Park when Bowers Eastern play the lima Lima Giants. DILLON, LONG OVERDUE, REACHES PORT; NIGHT HIS HANRUK Hoosier Forces General Recognition of Ability by Decision Victory Over Moran—"Best for His Size I Have Been?" Says Jay Ury, Cogbett. As a result of his clean-cut victory over Frank Moran at Brooklyn our own Jack has become the country at large to recognize that he is the best boxer at his weight now in the right, something many of the giants known all along. Thus Dillon's ship, which is none other than Jack himself, comes in after being long overdue. Dillon has been a famous and delicious opponent to demand big purses. Fighting along bread and butter lines for five years he has become a master in brushing aside about all the middleweights and light heavies of any importance in the country, but because he has never held his activities to ten-round bouts and the dearth of good opponents he was forced in many instances to make a few more bouts, piling up more victories, perhaps, the many boxer in modern pugilistic history. He has accompanied ever having been knocked off his feet. Faces Great Handicap. But even in the hour of his victory Dillon faces a great handicap. Knowledgeed as the light man, he must now apparently go out of his class to gain further fame, since there are few, any boxer, who can be as light as heavyweights. He must either reduce to the division which he has apparently outgrown and meet so soon as possible, or Australian middleweight, or add to his poundage to the best of his ability and gain a match with the recognized boxer of these two. Dillon has little to gain in the way of further prestige except in accepting one of these two for the latter. His next move, perhaps, will be to try to get a match with Willard. And in this case he will not detract from Dillon's ability it could be seen that Moran in last night's fight, bewildered as he was, would not go up against a man of Willard's weight and ability would, it would seem, be little short of suicide. Questions to Answer. Can Dillon stand up against Jess Willard, the heavyweight? Can Dillon stand up against Jess Willard, the heavyweight? Can Dillon last in a long fight? These are some of the questions Jack will answer. One of the real tributes to Dillon's ability after last night's bout came from a man who were slow to admit the Hoosier's class. Corbett said: "No marathon condition, for the little fellow is the best of his size I've ever seen." DILLON VICTORY TO BRING REAL PURSES Outweighed More Than Thirty Pounds Jack Defeats Pittsburger in Seven of Ten Rounds. NEW YORK, June 30.—Jack Dillon has lived up fully to his reputation as a "mankiller" today and though the team he led needed at the close of his fight with Frank Moran last night, the Hoosier scraper certainly killed off the Pittsburgh "big money" fighters of the country. Moran received the $25,000 for the beating he took from Frank Moran, brought the blood flowing from Frank's face and sent him backing away puzzled and pasty looking was shaking him loose from further challenge. The fight Moran has collected $62,000 for taking two beatings within four months. He received $37,000 for his fight with Frank Moran he took from Little Dillon—more than thirty pounds lighter and six inches shorter—probably spelled the end for Moran to be put up thousands to get him in the ring. The way is now open for Dillon to collect some of the big stuff. The money maker Dillon now jumps into the limelight. His contract called for $15,000 in the fight with Moran, is now up to $20,000. It is a dozen of his previous fights. In fact Dillon has been fighting for pursues ranging from $700 to $2,000. It is now a promoter and theatrical managers. Chance Against Willard. "If Jack only weighed thirty pounds THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER more," was the most frequent remark heard in New York today among fighters. He was the one who thought of this lacking thirty pounds, they also thought of this lacking champion. Moran appeared small when in the ring with Willard, but he looked like a champion. However game, fast and clever may be therefore, his chances against big jes are held as zero. He was trained to be good condition and in anything but good condition for the fight. Dillon, on the contrary, was trained to be clear, healthy skin burned to a nut brown. He was in deadly earnest from the first round, and laughed and winked at friends at the ringside during the first round, and laughed and winked at friends at the ringside during the first round, and laughed and winked himself over to such a bit of mirth in the second round Dillon cracked him on the jaw he almost turned. Frank Moran Loses Smile. After the third round, when Moran got Jack on the ropes twice and hambled the best he had the smile of the Pittsburgher was conspicuous by its absence. Dillon did his greatest execution with short-arm pokes at close quarters, but the best he ran seven times in the face without return with snappy rights that traveled only a few inches, but brought streams in and went in like blows of a trip hammer. Dillon, without a mark on him, and still fresh, tripped over to Moran's corner, and greeted with nothing but a scowl as Frank's seconds worked over him. Dillon had a wide margin in seven rounds, and fourth were fairly even. The second and fourth were fairly even. Christie a. Winner Gus Christie, from Dillon's camp, and the Zulu Kid, of Brooklyn, who was one of Moran's sparring partners, bought the semi-final Zulu who was born in the small town of Indianapolis with a hard map, pasted the Zulu in the right eye with a 10-foot-longúth. He had the mussed to an uppercut so profusely that he mussed the orb all up. He had a bunking left with whis. He anoyed and staggered the Zulu. At the finish Zulu was a sight. Nevertheless, it was a hard fight. Zulu pounded the bunking left with who, he occasionally he belted Gus in the face, but Gus had the best of it generally. In the preliminaries Mike Shea and Sailor Lennan fought four time drawிகs. Mickey Belmont was 21 shaded over Jack Tracey, Hank Ferris knocked out Willie Irish in the first round and Frankle Wilson won on pights from Pepper Martin. THEIR PHYSICAL STATUS. Dillon. 168 pounds.

American motorcyclists who have visited England are much impressed by the skills and decorate the tail of English riders. We call a brush on the road they describe as "going off on a blind. The motorcyclist is driving on the land. Where we say skid, their expression is "side slip." An engine which stalls or dies on a hill in the English countryside. A fast machine is "very hot" and a fast rider is "very mustard." Instead or changing into high gear, its top gear is lower. It said that a rider is "goal all out," that means, of course, that the throttle is lower. It said as a "knut." Making a corner is called "cornering." If a Yankee remarks that a man laughs, he always says "misses." "Rippin" and "toppin" to describe a machine or sport, conveys the sense of the American boy who have been abroad say that the Englishmen are jolly and very good entertainers. They are much more than in this country. WILLARD ACCEPTS TERMS TO BOX RED FULTON. Champion Is to Get $45,000, Win, Lose or Draw, On Labor Day. Grafton, W. Va., June 24.—Jess Willard, champion heavyweight boxer of the world, appearing with a circus at Grafton, with his manager, Tom Jones, virtually closed up a contract with eastern fight promoters for a match at Madison Square Garden, New York City, with Fred Fulton on Labor Day for a purse of $45,000, win, draw or lose. An early offer of $40,000 did not meet with favor at the hands of Jess and his manager, and yesterday the arrival of the sportsmen from New York and Minnesota saw the reopening of the conference. It lasted all day, except when Willard was putting up sparring watch in the circus, and was concluded last night. The agreement of Willard, with the circus and Harry Tammen, manager and owner of the Denver (Colo.) Post, does not permit the acceptance of offers for a bout immediately, but it was decided for Jones and Willard to go over the matter with Mr. Tammen and meet the sporting promoters in New York City next Wednesday.

Motorcycle racing has developed into a popular sport with the improvement of the equipment and the promised at the meet of the two-wheelers, which will be staged as an adjunct to the race. The race is held on fair grounds, July. The entries for the harness events closed June 22. The harness events are possible in order when it is known that as motorcycle can go faster on a mile dirt track than an automobile, possibly on a race. In order to turn miles in fifty-seven seconds, fifty-seconds and fifty-seconds and fifty-seconds and every bit of speed he has on the back and home stretches. Here the rider must reduce his speed and it is every mile an hour. Going into the turns a rider must reduce his speed and it is every mile an hour. Going into the turns a game are seen. Hitting a turn at sixty-odd miles an hour means that the rear wheel must slide dangerously— Skids Are Dangerous. Watching the skids from the grand stand, it does not seem possible that a raider can move so fast that he not has accurately gauged very likely he will not. But the speed has not been faster than others, some riders have more speed on the straightaway than on the turn, and constantly being staged. One machine will gain yards on another on the turn, and lose it on the straightaway. And that machine will in order to guard against accidents the F. A. M. has issued rigid rules that prevent one raider passing another on the turn, and in front of another unless he is two wheel lengths ahead. But in the ex-terior handlebars on the turns, and at times handlebars may even become locked, as there is going to be a spike. Yet all the racing ever done at the local track only one man has been killed, and never in spite of the precautions taken. LACK OF TRAINING CAUSES LOTS OF COLORED BOYS' TO LOSE. BATTLING BALL FRANK SLAVIN, OLD-TIME BOXING FAVORITE, TO THE BATTLE FRONT LONDON, JUNE 0—How Frank Gotch, champion wrestler, mixed wrestling with boxing Frank Slavin, the veteran ringman, in his first story, just story just Slavin, who has grown much graver than he, appeared twenty years ago as a ring favorite, is now in England with the latest Canadian contingent. His little mix with Gotch happened years ago when Gotch, under the name of Kennedy, was at Dawson trying to fix up wrestling matches when everybody wanted to see prize fights. Here today Slavin staged the story with Jack Londonish settings, grizzled miners looking through blue tobacco smoke at the ring in Dawson's main emporium. Gotch failing in wrestling matches agreed to take Slavin on for a ten-round bout. "In the first two rounds he came at me strong," related the old soldier fighter. "I floored him two or three times. Then in the third round he dodged in and before I knew what was happening, he gripped me around the waist and threw me up in the air. "I laughed, the referee laughed, and, in fact, we all laughed. The referee said: 'Do you claim a foul?' "I said: "Well, if I don't I suppose I never be able to come back into the office. But the big American farmer got more money out of it than he ever gave me. He was the captain. Shavin just now is delighting British sporting writers with his reminiscences. They flock to the military camp where the military is waiting for the call to France. In Slavin's fifty-four years he has been a pioneer in the Australian bush and has been a prize ringer prize favorite in England, America, Australia and Alaska. Before he came to England and closed five years to the Australian gold field. He then came to England and closed five years to the Australian gold field. He then went to America and drifted into the prize ringer limelight by knocking out Jake Kilrain in a round. San Francisco was the next stop. "Those were the days before the big strike on the Yukon," said Slavin to me there through British Columbia. When we arrived in Alaska, my partner and I drove over to the river, and I started to Skagway—800 miles over the ice behind a dog team—to "I got the concession they gave me the official mail to carry back to the government at Yukon. The concession it has a hydraulic plant capable of handling 15,000 cubic yards a day." Slavin related the cutting of the White Pass and the railroad now does. When he returned home his wife had given me the first map of the White Pass and the railroad there now does. My party allowed by more than forty yards at any point," said Slavin. Slavin has been a Canadian justice of the peace in late year Slain's only son, Frank Charles Slainn (named after Charles Mitchell), stands 6 feet 11 inches, like the elder Slainn. He is a sergeant-major in the Army. He is a graduate of Purdue and expects to come to Europe and take a hand in the fighting. PROFIT SHARING SYSTEM OPENS ANOTHER BILLIARD PARLOR. (New York City Special) Twelve years ago Mr. W. H. Willis came to the then uncrowded Harlem and established in West Forty-third street a two-table pocket billiard room. Pocket billiards was then a comparatively unknown term to the vocabulary of its followers. Pool shooting and pool rooms were strictly speaking, the only terms by which they recognized their favorite pastime. After a matter of several years, the devotees of this game came to the conclusion that this clean well kept two-table establishment with its new name, was just what they had wanted all along, and proceeded to demonstrate that such was their view by weeping the little place packed both day and evening, waiting for an idle table. The great increase in the trade of this parlor demanded either the installing of more tables or the opening of another parlor, and this was the cause of Mr. Willis's branching out. He did this. Today, with his partner, Mr. Minor, he is advertising on a page of this news-sheet, a pocket billiard room of eight tables, forged to his chain of seven establishments, a pocket billiard room of eight tables, forged to the chair of which he has billiard room fixtures that will be conducted under the same profit sharing billiard system which has marked the location of the new establishment is located in the LaFayette Theater building, 170 West 132nd street, and has as its attendants, Messrs. Robert Lacey, E. Mucklin and W. Hargrave. The Freeman will be sent to any address in the United States one year for $1.00, during the month of July. BEST MAKE OF MAN AND NATURE ©1910 Gillette A Co.

THE SUCCESS OF THE HAWAIIAN PERSON WHO YOU SHOULD BE AN AGENT. Our goods have been on the market three years and have met with a suc- duced. They always take the leadership in every city or town where they are used by giving better and quicker results. Our goods and methods are the scalp of the scalp, so they are far superior to any other system on the market today. Our agents are all successful and have trouble in building up a large trade, as it is a known fact that we teach them more about the care of the scalp than just washing and cleaning. We understand the different diseases of the scalp as the doctor does the body. By the customer explaining to their agents all paper we send concerning the different diseases and the proper care of them they don't scalp, but they know at a glance at the scalp and by the customer explain- ing how their hair acts. They are able to treat that scalp and get it back in their condition. Some people are of the opinion that what will grow one person is the trouble lies in the treating of the scalp. If the scalp receives the proper treatment the scalp is not trouble. The main thing is getting the scalp in condition is using the right kind of shampoo. This being neglected by so many people, it softens the hair, cures humor, slight cases of tetter and eczema; it opens the hair, cures humor, slight scab of all impurities. We give our agents receipts for making tonics for the combing of hair, bad cases of eczema, when the tomer comes in with such a bad case that our shampoo can not cure up fast out any extra charges to the customer. These tonics are not sold by agents to customers, but they apply them to eczema cure when needed. Those who wish to give our goods a trial send $1 for a five assorted shipment, thus desiring the agency send for terms. Address all mail to Mme. T. G. Brammer 644 N.
