WARD RETURNS FROM TRIP. Prof. James H. Ward, who received his A. B. from Princeton University, paid us a visit. We were glad to meet him. We met him at the Ward. Ward has a host of friends in Kentucky, as he is known in almost every state in the union. He is just returning from a trip to Salt Lake City, where he attended the Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, San Diego and El Paso. Mr. Ward was in El Paso, which is on the Mexican border, for three days, and he discussed the issues of immigration and the United States with Mexican and American officials at El Paso. When approached by your correspondent relationship, he said: "Mexico does not want war, but she will defend her side to the last inch against the United States." NATIONAL NEGRO ORGANIZER WAS HERE TO SPUR UP THE WORK. Mr. Albon L. Holsey, National Business organizer, came here just at the psycholigal time. Mr. Holsey was for- Blackburn merly connected with the "Crisis" as the advertising man. We find him to be a man who worked for the uplift of our people; a young man whom we should all be grateful to have worked for. Hoseley was the guest of Col. Rosaceo C. Simmons, who escorted him around to all the business men that it was possible to short stay in the city. Editor William H. Stewart, of the American Baptist Business League, could not attend the National Negro Business League, as it was the same week of the General Baptist Associa- ```markdown ``` tion. Mr. Holsey indeed gave our young people plenty of encouragement to launch business for themselves, and that the National Negro Business League was particularly depending upon the young people for support for the old men who were loyal to the cause, and their days are not very long, and the young people should be ready to take their places. Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons, whose THE REVERSE Rev. A. W. Thompson, Pastor "Do Right Church" the church was packed almost to suffocation. The delegates stood three deep in the alley. several states were in attendance They left in full bloom to meet the requirements in the mid-summer an Succeeding to the place long held by his uncle, Booker T. Washington, the first president of Simmons is not only the most popular Pythian, but perhaps the most popular public character among Colored people. "Here we are side by side," he said, "white and black alike. We came by the sea, we came by the world's first democracy, the only pure republic the world has ever known. Home of religions and art, science and culture, Simmons was an important government, we built on ragged kings and prostrate thrones." OL Simmons made an appeal to the North Carolina patriotic. Often he could not speak for the applause, "Stand ready for the flag," he said, "that will some day stand up for you." Negro American Only. In a fine burst of eloquence he said: "We belong to a race that knows no limits. We belong to a hyphen bridges our love or makes a minus sign to our loyalty. We speak the language of our country and know how but know but flag, and that is the flag that set us free." He tribute to Georgia and Booker T. Washington brought cheer after cheer. At the conclusion of his oration the Grand Lodge surrounded him without much ceremony. Mrs. Bessie L. Allen, superintendent of the Newbys' Union Sunday School and their community Social Service unit, will attend the annual fresh air outing to the newbys and other children of the city Monday, August 7, at the Fern Creek farm.

There will be music, refreshments and other features of amusements on the grounds. The interurban station cars will leave the interurban station, Green street, between Third and Fourth. at 9:50 o'clock. Admission to grounds, 5 cents. Mr. B. F.

Mr. Johnson is also the organizer of the Royal Neighbors of Kentucky, known in almost seven states. Mr. B. F. Johnson is a fraternal man from the word "go." He has served in its capacities as a member of the recognition he might ask for in the Pythian circle. He has the honor of being the Past Grand-Chancellor. He has served in its capacities in the term to be honored as the Supreme Representative to represent the great domain of Kentucky.

For the great work that has been done by Ex-Grand Master, he should not be neglected that he should come into the 1917 official family. Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute Summer School Closed. The first annual session of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Summer School closed with a large attendance. The event was a valuable asset to "Old Normal," Teachers several states were in attendance. They left in full bloom to meet the requirements in the mid-summer and the fall, when they were made that they should get credit in whatever creditable school they should enter throughout the country. The students were made that they should be the victorious school battler, secured some of the best tutors in the state for the school.

One of the biggest features of the State Grand Lodge will be the St. Louis Supreme Council, which will maintain the honor of the State Grand Lodge.

MOTON Fairminded Masses Confident Tukegee's New Head was Woefully Misquoted in Pullman Car Incident CERTAIN THAT TRUTH WILL COME OUT IN TIME Editor Manning in Town—General Rejoicing over "Shake-up" in Board of Education—Major R. R. Wright wants Colored Military Training Camp—Dr. A. M. Curtis Holds Clinics in the South—A Resume of the Happenings Among the Negroes at the Nation's Capital—Personal Points. In the nation's capital Major Robert Russa Moton has a host of warm friends and an ardent interest in this aggregation of influential forces in the hula-baloo that has been raised about his career and is many years in accord with the late Booker T. Washington, nor with the broadening of Kusgee Institute. The opposition to the "Wizard" has simply been inherited, in large measure, by his son, the cocoanut—the real reason why the Pullman incident, in which Mrs. Moton moved the boat been magnified and the attitude of Major Moton grossly misrepresented. The real friends of Major Moton, here and elsewhere, point in opposite directions from the outset that he was incorrectly quoted in the alleged interview sent out May 30 by doubt that he said anything at all for publication. The delicate nature of the issues bound him to the desire for the Major to make any statement at this time that would satisfy the critics, the friends, the admirers, him that anything he might say would only serve to kindle anew the agitation of substance to build upon, or add to a bitterness that is approaching a gratifying end. His silence is fully fair-minded ones who know best how to deal with diplomatic problems. Groundless Rumors Exploded. Two or three groundless rumors have been exploded by the sheer might of the No one who has ever been five minutes in the presence of Major Moton could place an ounce of responsibility that he sympathizes with those responsible for his wife's cruel experimentation on hamper and love and veneration that is felt for Major Moton at Tuskegee Institute or mor that a cabal three could stoop to say or do anything that would embarrass or hamper him. Moton stands in the shoes once worn by the immortal Washington. Every man, woman and child at Moton tend themselves to the limit of their physical and mental powers to proclaim for which Booker T. Washington gave his life. Tuskegee Institute and its loyal to the core to Major Moton—and he is satisfied that this is true. How Major Moton's Friends View the Situation. A lifelong friend of Major Moton, who occupies a position of trust, gives this as his personal view, and believes it coincides with every well-wisher of the land. Taking the liberty to quote him, this gentleman said in part: "I set no store at all by the statement of the land, and I do not believe the comment of Major Moton on the episode referred to. He is not that kind of man, and I do not misquoted. I do not believe he said anything for publication on the subject, and I do not believe this time any direct statement anent the matter. I am content to leave that part of the issue to his friend, and I am not in the stake to risk a hasty note that might lead to further misrepresentation. I am confident that I will give the major the benefit of the doubt and withhold their cureensure until the facts are threshed out, as they are being presented." "I am convinced that Major Moton's heart is in the right place. I am satisfied that things for which the proudest Amer- ican stands and will be found on the string line when there is a call for help. I will meet his problems in a way different from the way that you and I might have met them in the past. I have in mind the same object that you and I have in mind, namely, the promotion of the greatest good in matters which concern our people. We undertaken a task herculean in proportion to the task thatger in many ways than the task that Dr. Washington twenty or more years ago. We changed and conditions have changed and we them. Major Moton needs now, and support that the friends of the late Dr. Washington can give him, in addition to the noble army he has to all along the line owes him ungrudging support and constant encouragement, and moral courage, not germane to the main questions, have the fullest confidence in his honesty, probability and moral courage. We will work this whole problem to be worked out by augment dictates. I shall believe that I will ask all of his friends and those ofuskegue- and they should be identi- cate to stand with me on this platform. Major Wright Wants Colored Military Training Camp Established. Major R. J. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State Industrial College, Savannah, Ga., has presented to President Robert C. petition asking for the establishment of a training center one operated for some time at Plattsburgh, York, where the flower of the Caucasian race has been given expert training. One petition points to the superior efficiency shown by colored soldiers in the four regiments manned by the race. Attention to the fact that a large constituency, represented by the document, forward, is anxious to secure the privilege to train them may be in a position to render valuable service to their country when they are sent to Savannah, Ga., is suggested as a good place. The President, it is said, is to give the petition due consideration, and the fact that he is served with credit as a paymaster for examination to representatives of the War Department. Major Wright is well known all over the country, and he served with American war; is promoter of an emancipation celebration exposition at his age, and has given much of his life to national uplift of his race in Georgia.

Twenty colored guardians were left at Camp Ordway to serve as drill-masters and trainers for the raw recruits to the first Separate Battalion.

Bishop Johnson, after thirty-three years of efficient service as pastor, resigned and will devote his entire time to the upbuilding of his correspondence school of the theology, which he has taught.

This church is in denomination in this section of the country, and the field in which the edifice is located possesses inexhaustible opportunities for a preacher with missionary spirit. Welcome, Dr. Callis; Washingtonians, regardless of race, creed or political persuasion, are deceived by the presence of Bishop Alexander Walters, who has been ill at his home in New York city since the sitting of the A. D. C. Court in Ky.

Others present besides the family are the elocationist, and Mrs. Blanch Thomas, of New York. The joint commencement of the M Street High Armstrong Manual and the M Street High Armstrong District was a perfunctory affair of the District was affection existing in colored school circles. The crowd of 5,000 or more attended the account of their personal interest in the young people who were slated to receive their precious diplomas, and the proceedings directed by heads who have long outlived their usefulness as school functionaries. The graduates 118; from Armstrong came 72, and 50 came out of the two vocational cen- ters and the Street Schools. The address of the event is liberated by Prof. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education. One of the numerous reforms in the local school system, to which the attention of the reorganized board of education is directed, is the practice of employing in the night schools teachers who are also engaged in the day schools. The general view is that the limited period of the night schools should any day teacher be assigned to work in the night for several months, in addition to day work, is regarded as inimical to the efficiency of a teacher in both the day and the night, and benefits derived from places on the none too ample payroll of the schools should be spread over as wide an area as possible for the night schools," except in special cases, is a slogan to be sounded by our citizens in the near future. ... Mr. George C. Smith of the treasury department, for many years private secretary to the late Senator B. K. Young, on the one hand, and primarily responsible for the recent "shake-up" in the board of education, which is designed to pave the way to tenure in our public school system. Another public-spirited citizen who helped to establish the clique supreme from bossism and clique rule is Mr. James E. Muse, secretary of the Oldest Inhabitants' Association, and an assistant to the supreme. These men had the convictions, were free from chains forged by self-interest, and now merit tenure. They were sponsors for the appointment of Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, the new member named to succeed W. Childs on the board of education. The most striking feature of the Shakespearian pageant, staged recently on the campus of Howard University, is the use of a scenery painted by Mr. W. D. Nixon, of the M Street High School, assisted by Mr. S. D. Milton, of the same institution, and whose true to life affection the era in English life of the century in which the immortal Hard of Avon wrote and directed the pageant. The book was a work as chairman of the finance committee, raising over $800 for the expenses of the pageant. The book was also the director of history in the Miner Normal School. The parts in the cast were well taken by teachers of the department, a creditable chorus, with drills and fancy dress. Two postponements were made necessary by inclement weather. The readiness with which colored men have enlisted in the First Separatist Army of the District of Columbia, givesample warrants in the eyes of the right-to-try, for the statement of Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee Institute, that if they should issue a special call for sturdy Negroes to defend the flag against the 100,000 members of our race would rally at once to the recruiting stations. A similar thority" for the opinion he expresses on this point, after reciting the history of the Negro soldiers in the Revolution down to the present, is regarded as captious and impertinent. It is an act that not have any trouble in enlisting 100,000 or more loyal Negro Americans if they honor should be seriously menaced. Dr. A. M. Curtis made a fine impression by his informing lectures and illicent session of the North Carolina State Medical Association at Wilson, NC, where he presented terms of the highest praise of Dr. Curtis' skill and thorough command of the scientific principles involved in his work. He has now gone to Durham, N. C., to conduct a surgical clinic at the Lincoln Hospital, and has presented humanitarian stands at the head of his chosen profession and is in constant demand for clinics in various areas. As many of these engagements as his large practice in Washington will permeate the annual session to extend the annual session of the National Medical Association, of which he was once president. He will designate his address for the surgical section. All those timorous souls who predicted all sorts of direful things as a result of the abdication of Rutie 46, a rule that separated female teachers from the school system upon marriage) he has been a bad rush of the lady teachers to the marriage license clerk since he has been out of regulation but no likelihood that the Miner Normal School will have assessed the training of young marry will be inclined to continue, for economic reasons or because their education. A female has as much right to teach after marriage as a man, if she will, if it let alone the courts have wisely decided that the board of education has nothing to do with the marriage relations of teachers.

The greatest body of Negroes in the country having to do with business affairs will be there August 16-18. The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Kentucky will meet in Louisville, July 23-28. The beautiful seven story temple which is one of the leading structures in the country controlled by colored people will be the scene of the most of the activities of the organization. The Freeman will give full account of the lodge proceedings, also the incidents of the gathering in general. To get a hearing in the courts that are the bar of justice for all men is what we expect. In this city, Indiana, polls, we are doing very well. It is up to the court to determine the guilt of Wheeler, charged with the killing of Hagerty, and not the colored people or any other people. If there is sympathy for Wheeler it should be simply the kind shown any individual in distress. More than that or different from that will be at the expense of race respect. Getting home is the Deutschland's greater problem. If the famous vessel pulls in safe the voyage will be no less glorious than that of reaching these shores. It was watched as a cat watches a mouse. But the captain, "stout heart," depended on a farewell plunge, and then good night to the eyes of day. All hall to the bonnie crew that has the nerve. Nothing like it since the days of mythology with their Pegasus, the winged horse, and the rest of it. Groups of our children are now heard singing "Walking the Dog," instead of the religious and sentimental songs as the children of years ago used to sing. It may be all right, and according to the progressive age. But when children who should be singing "Ring Around the Roses" are putting over "Walking the Dog" we very much doubt that they are having the right kind of progress along that line. There is no particular harm in the song, perhaps, but to think of the unanimity of taste. Why preferred? It is to be hoped that those ghastly hanging scenes will never again adorn our race publications. With all due respect to the noble intents of the gentlemen who make up the society for preventing mob law, they are mistaken if they think those scenes help the race. If a race has not sufficient fine feeling to feel personally hurt or assaulted by such exhibitions it has not enough to appreciate with the grace of theatures. The tatures were not meant for the race. But who else cares? Now then, who suffers? Albon L. Holsey, organizer for the National Negro Business League, was in the city last Wednesday in the interest of the League. Mr. Holsey is very anxious to have a large attendance at what will be the seventeenth annual meeting. It will be held at Kansas City, Missouri, August 16-18. He has traveled extensively in the South where he says the local Leagues are in a flourishing condition. He expressed himself as being a little disappointed at what he found farther North. However, his mission is to inject life into the local bodies as he has done in order to have the total success of the national body, and to give stimulus to the object of the organization—the Negro in business. Mr. Holsey said that J. C. Napier, Charles Banks and Emmett J. Scott were being mentioned for the presidency of the League. Lest we forget, the boastings of men, the inordinate desire to be, while not altogether without some good, yet self imposed restraint, being even more than we appear, will be the better and safer route to the affections of those who look and observe so well. If there is to be surprise as to what we are, let it be a happy one, in that we are not found wanting. "Worth" founded on favor is a fleeting something. Here is the dote of caprice and not the certain exaction that takes its rise out of things meritorious. True worth, then is its own advocate. If we have this it will be as yeast to the loaf. Even the few base men are won by the evidences of which is good and lovely, not to speak of the great majority of better men, and who are always open to conviction and conversion. Our fault is not always in our stars, but in ourselves quite often. It is very lucky that it turns out that Harry McIntyre of Chicago, who ran rampant killing five persons and wounding five others in that city last Tuesday morning was insane. Under any circumstances the frightfulness and horror of the deeds are scarcely less than terrifying. And we suspect that had not McIntyre, who is colored, been insane, that there would have been threats of mob violence even in the staid city of Chicago. As it is, the happening is very unfortunate for the race; and it is greatly deplored, we dare say, by all thoughtful colored people. Despite the man's insanity it will be difficult to dismiss the wholegale slaughter at his hands. And yet the matter must be dismissed in all ways excepting those required in the process of the law governing such cases. It is to be hoped that society will not be so deeply stirred again, owing to the deeds of individuals of our race, or of any race. Chas. A. Wheeler, colored, who is charged with killing Lieutenant Hagerty, will be on trial in a short while. We feel it necessary to caution the colored people to take a broad view of the matter, just as the white people have done, and who have been ideal, as it concerns this happening, suggesting no form of justice not sanctioned by the laws. Of course, this is as it should be; and it should not be a thing for comment. But it is useless to shut our eyes to facts and conditions. There are parts of the country, where, if the same should have happened the whole affair would have been historical. So there is reason for thanks—thanks that we are within the law and not outaws to meet death without the benefit of jury or clergy. It is quite the natural thing for the colored people—many of them to have some sympathy for their fellow race man. This is because of what the race has endured—what it is now enduring. However, as it concerns trials we have asked for judge and jury, and not mob justice. We are getting judge and jury. We will not ask for more if we are wise. If we mutter over a matter of a regular arrest and trial we are asking for more. Don't do it! TU$KEGEE'S PRINCIPAL. Major Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee, is being subjected to considerable criticism owing to the ejection incident of last week when his wife and brother was asked to leave a Pullman sleeping car at Troy, Alabama. We ventured the opinion at the time that the incident would be held as part of an open letter to Major Moton, compelling a stand on the phase of the race question that concerns "Jim Crow" coaches. Immediately after the happening he is quoted as having said that he advised his relatives otherwise, that is, that the race question should be assigned to the colored people. Some of our race publications and also others have made a much to do over the "few remarks" already made by the principal. The "Richmond Planet" does not think Major Moton said what was attributed to him. It said: "For our part, we are unwilling to believe that Major R. R. Moton made any such statements until they are acquainted with his life and his guished Virginian himself. Certain, it is, if true, he should in the future be a bishop, a bishopseeker and his spain should receive training on home Hawton, Va. It is the equivalent of saying that martial infelicity exists in his own family and he is unable to exercise a martial infelicity. He is more than a public means of conveyance." Brother Mitchell goes it a little strong in intimating martial infelicity and perhaps we are no better in giving further publicity to the matter. But the object is to show that we surmised right in thinking the incident would have a greater meaning than, perhaps, thought at first blush. A Birmingham publication goes further than the Planet, saying this among other things: "Just at this particular time when after years of agitation and protest the railroads of the South were just beginning to be built, it is best to allow the colored man these privileges and were doing so in many cases then comes along this would be leader of the race to put his hand on the approval on the Southern Jim Crow laws." Another publication said: "It was rather singular that Major Moton, the recently installed head of Tuskegee Institute, should have been given the opinion on the race question so soon after beginning duties as head of this institution, and deplore the ejection of his relatives from a Pullman sleeper this week in the state of Alabama, while they were in inauguration. As interstate passengers the Major's wife and brother were pulled into the sleeper and regardless of his advices to them that they should not attempt to travel in this manner in the South because the Southern whites in the matter of Negroes riding in Pullman cars, we adhere the least attempt to enjoy the privileges granted all American citizens. We do not allow Negroes and because Southern sentiment is against our enjoying full American freedom, that we should sit supinely in the Pullman car, and abridged. If we as Negroes tamely submit to every restriction which is placed upon us, we expect to have few rights which others will respect." It is strange that the principals relatives were disturbed in face of the fact that other negroes have enjoyed many times the privileges over the same road which they were denied. Editor Mitchell said that he had traveled the same road several times, always enjoying the Pullman service. Of course Tuskegee has raised up many critics, opponents who see nothing good that comes out of it. But in this respect it need not be daunted for it has for its illustrious prototype the Man of Nazareth. However, we are not classing the foregoing observations as adverse criticisms. They are observations of thoughtful men who are interested in the obtaining of general principles throughout the land without detection this or that way on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. We said last week if there must be discrimination let it be against the "low down" of either race. This is quite an impossible thing, but the right thing nevertheless if we must have discrimination. If "Jim Crow" coach is a creature of the law, and not the Pullman sleepers as we understand it, and as such it should be given every facility, and accord as such to the right feeling would disappear while we await our rights in abexance. Major Moton has not spoken at length if at all. As a leader of the race, a position that is conceded him whether he wills it or not, he should not surrender a single principle, nor should he oppose the laws as he finds them existing. We are for Tuskegee and the new principal, thinking that he is for a conservative, sane course, rather than one of radicalism, such as marked the ways of its late principal, yet keeping in mind the great first principles, holding them as the ultimate goal. We will not think of the one incident as in any way determining Principal Moton's views and policies. To do so would be to repudiate Dr. Washington who had the utmost confidence in the new principal. The Freeman will be sent to any address in the United States one year for $1.00, during the month of July. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.

Margaret Scott has a soprano voice of excellent quality, good range and considerable flexibility and power.

The women of the chorus sing pretty well, too, which immediately entertains, as it is most frequently furnished. The songs are catchy and and bright, and the soloists. Emma Griffin, Mabel Griffin and Mattie Edwards, acquitted themselves with great credit. There are also some specialities in dancing by Eddie Rector. The scenery in Dahoney and Rector, with many changes, intensified the deal of clever dancing, especially by the chorus, always handsome, costumed, with many changes, intensified the dance of the models in the last half is particularly sensational.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. Brace up "old top," the road is rough. But there are rougher roads never doubt. Cheer up, old man, your luck is tough. But there's a chance to still win out. Don't fret and wail about your loss; Don't rave and curse if you've been Jis wade right in with shift an 'cross. An 'never say that you've been licked. Don't hold an adversary cheap; Don't ever doubt that you will win; An 'here's a tip, 'twill help a heap. He's as scared of you as of him. Sometimes a feller gets a jolt. When for the ropes an git a holt. Then turn the tables of the bout Each in this life will git his knocks, Some guy will be there with a rap; An 'bump you till you're noodle rocks, But let him know you're in the scrap. Dont fear to call a duffer's hand; Don't let him cow you with a bluff; With your guard and saddle. An 'show you guard of virile stuff. —By SALEM TUTT WHITNEY. Herbert Kauffman says: "Don't imitate, initiate." Some people miss all the best chances in life waiting for a sure thing. Just because a bright thought or a clever sea seas, to chocolate your skull and finds a place in your sensory room, don't holler robber thief! plagiarist! If you discover that idea filtered through the cranium and registered upon the cerebrum of another. Lew Hall, that queer comedian, is demonstrating weekly that it takes a wise man to play a fool. R. W. Thompson our leading journalist, is not an agronaut, but the public derives much pleasure from his "short flights". S. H. Dudley is again before the footlights, starring jointly with Dave Marriott the celebrated Fish comedian, in "The World of Frolics", burlesque company. THE PASSING SHOW IN WASH INGTON. "Allas Jimmy Valentine" at the Howard. "Allas Jimmy Valentine," as presented by Jimmy Valentine Amusement Company last week at the Howard, is another of those gripping plays which impress through thrilling situations, clever dialogue and the use of the familiar lesson that the only sure way to get the best out of life is to "go straight"—that the way of opening safe and secure is "waves his sin is death." "Jimmy Valentine" is the nom de plume of one "Lee Randall," an expert in the art of opening safe and secure, and having to know the combination or anything about the mechanism. He is a "crook" through circumstances, but has a good heart, and upon his release he commit, he made up his mind to quit the shady path and begin life on a square basis. How he did this, added interestingly in the four acts of the drama, and the interpreters without exception, meet happily all the demands upon them in the exacting roles entrusted to them. Andrew Bishop, who, like wine, improves with age, is superb in the title role, vowes masterly restraint, and convincing earnestness that wins the sympathy of the audience from the start. Stein of droeller, Mr. Bishop, Mr. Bishop's work, and relieves the somberness of scenes that might otherwise be lacking in spice. Miss Abbie Mitchell, who best her best work, is girl who makes a man of "Jimmy" by her confidence in his power to rise in life, and repeats the signal triumph in "The Man on the Box." She is the mistress of facial expression and telling gesture, conveying the meaning of her lines as though by these same means. She is a true artist and is as strong in the quiet, tense scenes as in the big climaxes. In the love-making app, she is the most talented M. Bishop, the talented young lady has no rival in the dainty, appealing and graceful manner in which she delivers her sisters some valuable points for the "leap-year" that offers them a "gate of hope" in the matrimoon, satisfying in any role assigned to her, but it is as the romantic heroine, rescuing promising men from their baser selves, she seems to be nearest her J. Francis Mores, a sterling actor, versatile to the last degree, gives a life-like impression in "Jimmy the Autocrat of the Sing Sing prison." He makes the first act "stand out" by his virile touch. In this role he is effective as "Lie-Dow, Fay," and he never fails to get a "hand" by his intimation to "Handler," that he does not treat his hands if he does not treat "Jimmy" fairly after his visit to the prison. H. L. Pryor as "Detective Doyle, an astonishing stealing after "Jimmy," shows to better advantage than in any previous character, and is good throughout, as he follows the lines of the detective we used to know in the day of the "yellow back" novel and "howling meller," and paints and paints and paints and is admirably fitted to this class of parts. Will A. Cooke, of "Black Patt" fame, is a hit in the character in his old age—a convert to the high mpral influence of "Jimmy." Mr. Cooke handles his eyes with remarkable cleverness, and he is another versatile genius that Director Winn can use anywhere safely, and is sure to "put over" to a role he roles calling for eccentric comedy. Miss Inez Clough and Mrs. Carlotta Freeman as "Mrs. Webster" and "Mrs. Webster," and the reform agency, "The Gail of Birmingham," correctly typified the social uplift system in which many worthy folks are engaged, and made charming pictures in their backyard. Eddie Brown made good use of his opportunities as "Red Joeyen," and made charming pictures from crook to law-abiding bank watchman, loyal at all times to "Jimmy." He doubled skillfully to Dale, Daniel and Charles Taylor handled the roles of "Mr. Lane" and "Dick and Rat" effectively. P. A. McDougall got some good work, and Miss Adela Johnson and Baby Stovall injected some gingery comedy in the last act as the Lane children. Sidelights on the Players. The Griffin Sisters and their big Revue of twenty people, are headed this way. The Whitman Sisters and their company of seven, are at Daly's Airdome, Baltimore, this week. Romeo L. Dougherty, the very capable and observant dramatic editor of the New York News, is to pay the capital a visit soon. There's a reason." Nathaniel Guy, a local favorite, makes his initial how here next week as a factor in the Broadway Players, carrying the part of "Stannard Dole." Stop! Look! Listen! Leigh Whipper sang a song in a composer's contest and nearly won first prize. If we had been one of the judges we would have voted him the first prize and a bonus. Julus Contestor and Ollie Burgyone introduced a new and novel dancing called "The Jerian Dance of Death." The act was beautifully costumed and spared acutely from the violence. Both are artistic dancers and deserve great credit for daring the wrath of the gallery gods by introducing a singing and dancing dance, "Ball the Jack," or the "Blues." The Five Musical Byrons have an act par excellent. They are really above criticism. The stage setting is appropriate and are very but harmonious. Their instruments are the best and from latest improved models. They are excellent musicians and the program rendered shows in their own right. They are rehearsed with great care and attention and has been given the minute details. All entrances and exits have been made accessible and pushing while answering their many encores. The boys attend strictly to the business of their act while in the theater. They are educated, trained and educated in order to the profession of which they are worthy exponents. There is much discussion and complaint among performers about the quality of the vaudeville circuit. It is true that the prices offered some are almost below living wage. Wage managers about the quality of these cheap acts as anything cheap is usually worth just what it is. Wage managers about the quality of these cheap acts as anything cheap is usually worth just what it is. Wage managers about the quality of these cheap acts as anything hard to work cheaply he should work just as hard to make good as if he were receiving a top-notch pay. The business end of an act. It judges a performance by what it sees and hears from across the city. If it satisfies the public is entitled to the very best a performer has to give. Improve your act, buy new and prettier costumes, a position to demand larger price for the act. This can be done by making personal sacrifices and saving your money. Miss Laura Bowman, a mistress of character impersonation, comes into a new environment next week in "The Miss Dole" in the dance in the difficult role of "Mrs Dole." Miss Laura Bowman, Sidney Kickpatrick and Arthur Ray were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, 1223 S street northwest, Thursday afternoon. The Rhode Island Theater, Seventh street and Rhode Island avenue, can accommodate a house if the right party applies for a lease. It looks like a mighty good stand. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis and Mrs. Emily Leifer Taylor are considering offers to join the Broadway Players. They are both dramatic geniuses and would add strength to the organization. Johnson and Baylor, comedians and pianists and singers, put on a neat act at Dudley's last week, and Seymour Mitterrand and Miss Gertrude Randolph is officiating effectively at the house piano. M Coleman, proprietor of the successful "Iceland." First and South West, has taken over the "Palace Casino" on G street, between Third avenue and One-half streets, southwest, formally conducted by Beverly and Adams. Luke Scott has been added to the house force of the Howard, assisting in the management of the stage, and is a star of "The Smart Set" last season, and has written some exceptionally clever sketches and playlets. Frederico DeBotta, of the theatrical fame in this city, is now a brave soldier boy—is on the ring line at Camp Grdway, breaking in raw recruits for the Mexican border on call. He is one of the most useful members of the District National Guard. Andrew Bishop, leading man of "Alas Jimmy Valentine," has opened a high-class restaurant and cafe at 110 West 131st street in New York City, where he and is called "The Mario." When in the big city call on Mr. Bishop, who is both a top-notch actor and successful business man. J. Francis Mores is not only an actor of rare ability, but is a poet, playwright and is a national note. He has in preparation a series of articles on the stage and society that will soon see the light of the new movie. Jim Mores is a marvel of versatility, and it is admirably wherever he is placed. Philadelphia and Baltimore are to be added soon to the circuit of the Quality School in the Quaker City and the Colonial in Baltimore, being under consideration. These additional outlets would provide the school's corporation, and give the actors just hard to present labor in studying parts. Mrs. Catherine Burnough, the general proprietress of the Actors' Rest, 1928 Sixth street, had a severe attack of the flu. A while was considered to be in a precarious condition. She is rapidly recovering at this writing. The professors of the school are likely to be long spared to them. Next week, opening July 17, comes the thrilling story, "The rice." Miss Abbie Mitchell, the talented queen of the drama, will be seen in the leading roles of the clever artists, including Walker Thompson, a new leading man; Babe Boudreau, with Laura Bowman, Miss Cleo Dondre, Miss Marie Young and Nathaniel Guy. Miss Rachel L. Walker, who made a fine reputation abrased as "Lucie Lee," has been married recently at her Cleveland home to Mr. R. W. Turner, head waiter at the Deklyn Restaurant in the Sixth Street corner, former warden of occasional engagements, who is anxious to all the good she can with her remarkable voice. Miss Walker is popular here. Congratulations. Johnson and Baylor, one of the neatest sketch teams now in vaudville, will be on a week at Dudley'a. Miss Estelle Baylor acknowledged society belle of Philadelphia, and her dainty work with Mr. Krause has been an atmosphere of culture and artistic enrichment that especially appealed to audiences of the "worth while" type. The no feature was particularly enjoyable. The experiment of trying young lady wishers to be a great success. The press roster includes Misses Edison Ellis, Jenneta Lee Coston, Ella Willis and Alric Chichester, and there are no delays, even at the rush periods of the "society nights." Laurence Chanault, affectionately known as "Larry," has been re-en-menting his Broadway Players, and will make his life pearance here week of July 24 in a congenial role in the thriller, "In a Sterling actor and has a large and en- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER chaustic following among the levers of high-class dramatic work.

We are today playing our last stand in Missouri and our last stand in state for Arkansas. We found Missouri good in spots and dead in others. We are getting our share although we had some house, as we had every stand for if we did we would have quit the business too quick. But we are getting our share although we had some house, as we had the extra middle piece and all the extra blues up to that we to the people or public as to the people or public stayed two nights and had a good house. The press is giving us a few it is getting to the show so I guess it is getting by. The press is game of ball at Campbell, Mo.

MANAGEMENT OF WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY COMPLIMENTED. Ohio's state auditor in his report paid a high compliment to the effusive Wilberforce by its present officers, when he stated that "the per capita income of the state is not any institution for manual training and higher education, but possible way he gave one of the prime reasons why Wilberforce has done and doing what he did." Here are no artificial distinctions in social prodigality; the students are a homoenous body, all enjoying the same privileges and upbringing. But while a few white philanthropists have been generous in their gifts to the state has been fairly liberal with its annual appropriations, t.e. assistance rendered has not been adequate to meet the urgent need in need of money, not alone to provide for the future, but to con- tribute have and need have, the earliest possible date, an endowment of not less than 100,000. The rich should have and need have, the triumphous 100,000 negro citizens, whose past was blighted by enforced slavery and whose present is not properly represented than yet have been given. If philanthropists who have it to give, and if legislative and executive rep- power over appropriations would visit Wilberforce and see for themselves there, see the real needs of the university; learn how large is the army of students seeking for an education, the economic Dr. Scarborough is administering the funds contributed for the school's support, the president of the university to make Wilberforce hope he entertains—a $100,000 endowment and annual contributions, state and otherwise, to make Wilberforce have been without reference to race or color. As Ohio's auditor of state has said: "Wilberforce University is worthy of every assistance rendered by the state." —From Columbus, Ohio, State Journal. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Henry J. McIntyre, A Crazed Negro, Snuffs Out Six Lives A Religious Fanatic who Thought Himself The Messiah. Police Blew Up House with Dynamite After Terrific Battle with the Maniac. CHICAGO, July 18—Henry J. McIntyre, a crazed Negro believing him to be a "message to the Almighty," became violent here today, and the result of his frenergy was a casualty list of six victims. He was shot and killed and his wife were killed, but only after more than a hundred police had been called three hours and had been forced to resort to dynamite and fire to end the battle. McIntyre had a congenial helpmate in his wife. He claimed divine authority and she believed in him. He didn't believe in the police for him, adopted this view for him, and paid the rent and grocery bill by taking in "wages." When McIntyre strapped a belt of cartridges around himself and equipped himself with a pistol and a rifle, his spouse was on another belt and adopted his own rifle. Wife Shares in Fighting. She fired the first shot at a neighbor on the other side of the fence, the police came and, with her rife, helped to hold it for three and a half hours. In the end she died with him. She was the top of her head blown off. When Policeman Edward Hughes entered the wreckage in the wreckage on the floor, McIntyre, already wounded, was gasping and leaning against an ice box. He sent a bullet into his skull. This shot terminated the most excitable officer on the floor. One policeman was dead and two others injured. Mrs. Josephine Overmeyer's body had been dragged from the wreckage. Those of Edward Knox and Alfred Matthews. Negroes living in nearby paces in the courtyard porches where McIntyre's accurate pistol practice had taken their lives. Knox's wife, Sadie, was in a hospital after being injured and the injured policemen were having arm and leg wounds dressed. Passenger trains stalled for hours on nearby roads, the officer resumed running, and the crowd of thousands attracted by the hundreds resumed running, and the crowd of buildings was dismisered. Held Grudge Against Police. McIntyre, a heavily built Negro and very black, had been regarded as queer for years. In 1912 Judge Charles Court, who was warned that a Negro for some unknown reasons had designs on him, the former appeared, balfus pounded, and large knife away from him. He denied any wrong intentions, and was acquitted. He frequently expressed, against the police and when threatened from the court with arrest, is said to have answered that he would never be taken alive. Some time during the heat of the Juvenile Court, he acute. He wrote two letters—one on a sheet of brown wrapping paper and the other on a shade. They were ill-spelled and rambling, but they made it plain that the Negro considered himself a proponent of death in order to take his report to the Almighty. He wrote, the husband and wife armed themselves, Mrs. McIntyre fired on Mrs. William Blanchard, a Negress, who was feeding her chickens in an apartment back yard. This was the beginning. Woman Next Victim. McIntyre, armed with an automatic pistol, appeared at the same moment the policeman came on the scene looking for his husband, who had been attracted by McIntyre and she fell dead. McIntyre then went to the front of the house where Knox and his wife and Matthews had appalled by the same unerring aim crumpled up the two men and gave Mrs. Knox her wives. Policeman Stuart Dean and others responded to an alarm and burst into the house. McIntyre, crouching behind the shot, and wounded Policeman Edward Clement and Grover Crabtree. Their companions dragged them from the entrance and enforcedences with rifles were sent for. The latter fired hundreds of shots in windows, and these were returned by the couple inside. The latter, however, were unable to aim because of the poor visibility. Fearing to risk the lives of his men further, Capt. Wesley Westbrook orphaned charges were exploded under it. After this ther ewas a lull. Polisean Hughes, against the protests of his husband, captured, estimate and entered, ending the battle. The explosions blew the rear porch and the police found the building wreck. They found an explanation of McIntyre's deed in a note which he scrawled on a pencil on a soiled piece of wrapping paper.

The dead: Stuart Dean, sixty years old, policeman. Mrs. Josephine Overmergy, twenty-four neighbor. Edward Knox, thirty-four years old, Negro, neighbor.

The injured: Edward Clement, detective sergeant, three bullet wounds, sewers, wounds in wrist and thigh, policewoman wounds in wrist and knee, Mr. Knox, wife of Edward Knox, bullet wound in back, serious. Gasoline and Dynamite Used. Henry McIntyre, who were exchanged between the crazed slayer, H. J. McIntyre, and the police who bested him by being bitten by a bullet being at 240 North Irving avenue. After three charges of dynamite had been exploded and an attempt made to fire the gun, Mr. McIntyre and his wife, who were armed with powerful rifles, were shot to death. The police were held at bay for more than two hours. The explosions blew the rear porch and part of the kitchen into the alley, and the building it was a wreck. They found an explanation of McIntyre's deed in a note which he left scrawled on a soiled piece of wrapping paper. Left. Rambling. Note. "The Almighty God has made me a prophet unto all nations and also my mouth." "You shall know that the Lord has sent me to gather unto the Lord the remnant of the Adonic seed.

The Lord has given spirit to judge the quick and the dead." "I must die in this land that I may carry my reports unto Almighty God among the land of the United States." In the opinion of the police, McIntyre wrote the letter just before beginning the lawsuit without a opportunity to do so between lulls while the police, having been repulsed, were under cover Mintyre's wife is supposed to have assisted him at least to the extent of having his wrist banded, but belt was found around her waist similar to the one worn by her husband. Her head was blown off by the explosion dynamite. **Begins attacking at 3:15 a.m.** The Negro first attracted attention with his shouts about 3:15 o'clock in the morning, but it was not until 5:30 a.m. he became alarmed, called the police. Policeman Dean was killed as he stepped the rear of the Clement and a crafted car, but when he tried to recover Dean's body, Mrs. Overmerve was shaken when she went back to investigate. She gone to investigate the shooting. The crazed Negro killed Knox as he stepped on the porch of his home. The police were wounded, after the dynamite had been exploded, was found leaning against door. He carried a revolver and a rifle, then ran from a policeman's revolver found its mark in his head. He died on the way to hospital. The Negro had pitched the bodies of two of his victims out of a window to the front porch, where they lay in view until the Negro had been killed. THE SUCCESS OF THE HAWAIIAN PROGRAM SHOULD BE AN AGENT Our goods have been on the market three years and have met with a success, and we have duced. They always take the leadership in every city or town where they are used by giving better and quicker care, and treating the scalp are known to be far superior to any other system on the market today. We are all successful and have little 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 straightening their hair, and understand the different diseases of the scalp as the doctor does the body. By the customer explaining how their agents are able to explain to them WHY their hair acts so and the cause of such actions. When our agents deal with our agents concerning the different diseases and the proper care of them they don't have to guess what is wrong with a scalp. We treat the scalp and by the customer explain- ing how their hair acts. They are able to treat that scalp and get it back in a healthy condition Some people are of the opinion that will give one person's hair wigs in the treating of the scalp. If the scalp receives the proper treatment the scalp will be treated in the scalp. 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 teter and eczema; it opens up the hair, cures humor, slight scab of all impurities. We give our agents receipts for making tonics for the combing out of the hair, bad cases of hair, and bad cases of hair, someone comes in with such a bad case that our shampoo can not cure up fast and out any extra charge to the customer.
