The city is full of delegates and visitors and the homes of all Washington are alive with the presence of the strangers within our gates. The early parts of the city are represented by sturdy men and pretty women and the uniforms of the Patriarchie are handomely in evidence on the popular thoroughfares. The local committee has done this to ensure that the people are well-known. The General Chairman, James H. Coleman, and the individual chairman have fitted in admirably to the various duties imposed upon them. The official headquarters at 1107 U. Street have beenNew York's most important office. The business uptown and the different headquarters of state delegations are gayly decorated with flags, banners and ensigns, and everybody seems to be having a good time.

Stenator Taggart Stands Firm for Nero Soldiers and Humanity in Arabia A staunch friend of the Negro race should be appreciated wherever such a much-needed "sheet-anchor of hope" can be found. The wise Colored American is disposed to ask few questions relative to the creed, nationality, habitat or party affiliation of the "keeper of the Open Door." Senator Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, is a friend of all humanity, as his public record of more than thirty years gives ample evidence. Speaking more specifically, he is the sturdy friend of the colored American—and he is not ashamed to admit the fact. He acts promptly, cordially and vigorously when there is the slightest chance to bring a larger life and broader opportunities for service to the Negroes of the land. He gives them steady and lucrative employment and lends all possible assistance in their aspiration for political preferment and professional or commercial advancement. A concrete example is here given: Not long ago one Mr. Caraway, of Arkansas, introduced a bill in the House of Representatives, the intent of which was to prevent the enlistment of re-enlistment of Negroes in the Army or Navy of the United States. The matter was brought to the attention of Senator Taggart, who forthwith addressed a letter to the Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, saying among other emphatic things: Opposed to Caraway Bill "I feel sure that this bill does not meet with the wishes of the War Department. There are several occasions the call to my mind the valor and loyalty of the Negro soldiers, and only recently the bravery was shown at Caracal, Mexico." "I AM OPPOSED TO THIS BILL. Hangs to hear from your Department, the bill does not meet with your approval, and personal records I beg to remain." Yours truly, T. TAGGART. Secretary Baker Disapproves of Anti-Enlistment Measure. Replacing to Senator Taggart's uneducated expressions anent the Caraway bill, Secretary of War Baker, said in part: "We attention had not been before called this bill, and so far as I know, has not been referred to this department for opinion. The purpose of the bill is to prevent the enlistment or reenlistment of people of the Colored race in the service of the United States. Any such bill would be the disapproval and adverse recommendation of this Department. Those who know the history of our country from the army history of our country from the armies trained by George Washington in the American Revolution down to the present day know that brave and often congenial gallant service has been rendered by colored troops. In the most recent instance—at Carrillon, in Mexico, these colored troops conducted themselves with the greatest intrepidity, but honor upon the uniform they wore. In a speech abounding in eloquence and carrying conviction of the deepest earnestness, Senator Tagan took the oath of office and submitted for the consideration of the nation the full correspondence with the Congressional Record, away bill and had it spread upon the pages of the Congressional Record. In the career of Senator Thomas Togart that show the kind of a MAN he is. "Segregation" in Departments Gets a Body Blow. "Segregation" because of race and color got a body blow last week when the order restricting the colored employees of the government in the State, War and Navy Department building to the use of certain toilets was revoked. The order thus discriminating against the people who have been so被捕的 by Col. W. Harts, superintendent of the building occupied by the three executive departments named, the same to take effect August 9. The action aroused indignation throughout the city and was the subject of columns of denunciation matter in the colored papers. The case was brought to the attention of Congress through persons familiar with the facts in a short time, and the action was held in the public members of the House of Representatives that the order be set aside, and, to the joy of the colored employees affected, the new system inaugurated by Col. Harts was abandoned. Citizens, irrespective of race or color, may now use at will any of the toilet conveniences in the State, War and Navy Departments, and the public members of the things is regarded as a triumph for righteousness and American fair play. The requests for the revocation of the order were made by Senators Thomas Taggart, of Indiana; Atlee Pomerene, of Ohio; James E. Martine, of New Jersey, and William E. Chilton, of West Virginia; The Virginia, of James F. F. F. of Kansas; David J. Lewis, of Maryland, and G. T. Helving, of Kansas. Mrs. Lellin Coleman Walters in Government Service. Mrs. Lelia Coleman Walters, the accomplished wife of Bishop Alexander Walters, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, has been appointed to an important clerkship in the Bureau of Immigration, and attached to the office of the Commissioner of Immigration. The salary is as follows: 1. The office of the General, was made by executive order of President Wilson, which relieved Mrs. Walters of the delays incident to the routine of selection by the Civil Service Commission. The appointment is regarded as a slight token of the esteem in which Bishop煤业 was held by the authorities at the White House, and Mrs. Walters is being roundly congratulated by her host of friends in church and state upon the compliment that has been so gracefully paid her by the Chief Magistrate of the Nation. It is an open secret that the Bishop was well known and high honors, thrust upon him by the present administration, but he steadily declined all of them, as they would have interfered with his work as an episcopate of the Zion church—a work that he declared was sufficient to gratify all of the ambitions of his life. Mrs. Walters, who was a very reliable and reliable caring for the health of her distinguished husband, could not have accepted at this time a position calling for a greater share of her attention that that to which she has been appointed. She will have the place as long as she lives or desires to retain it. Her personal ability and sympathy with her personality ensure efficient service at her hands. Race Conference In Session The "Race Conference" called by Rev. W. H. Jernagin and others is in session at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. A large attendance seems assured. A Firm Friend of the Negro Race Passes Away. the death of Hon. A. A. Birney, a leading member of the Washington law firm, who was a key person of this community. He has served long and well as a member of the faculty of Howard University Law and has been a professor of courts he has rendered timely service in behalf of justice for those who could not have obtained this boon without his aid. As United States McKinley administration, Mr. Birney gave constant evidence of his loyalty to the principles he had endorsed. He was a grandson of that sturdy abolitionist, James G. Birney, who ran for the Presidency on an anarchist basis and as a son of Gen. William Birney, who enlisted 4000 slaves in the Union Army on his own motion and for which he received a commendation of Abraham Lincoln. Senator Taggart Against Oppressive Taxation The speech of Senator Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, against the excessive taxing of the American people, calls for the necessary regulations for useless and unnecessary government projects, has been approved by the masses from ocean to ocean. His mail has been flooded with messages of support of his antipork-barrel attitude in the matter of handling building and river and harbor improvement measures. Mr. Taggart is opposed to the people's good, but he is opposed to extravagance that compels the taxing of the poor man's home to fatten for the wealthy. He treats tractors and tobobs. His plan to have REBUCKNER "WHEN SHE low-priced bonds issued to help pay for the preparedness program on a sliding scale, allowing the man of small means to save money on savings, is rated by financiers as one of the best economic system that has yet been presented for national consideration.

Fine Performance of "At Bay" by Broadway Players. The famous Broadway Players gave a finished performance Monday night of the thrilling drama "At Bay." The show, which opened all this week standing room has been at a premium. Many B. M. C. visitors, augmented by the Washingtonians returning from summer vacations, are returning to the stage in the attendance at the Howard. The play tells the story of a young girl who narrowly escapes the contempt of her way to love and happiness through the loyalty and devotion of a thoroughbred "man of the world." As the heroine, she is an actress of culture and intellectual equipment, scores another triumph, her "Kate Fallon" in "The Deep Purple," "Princess Theresa of Arragon" in "The Ghost Breaker," and Mrs. Shoote, an actress of culture and intelligence is a native of New England and her perfect English, acquired from contact with Worcester and Boston, is a valuable adjunct to her other qualifications as an artist of the highest type. An equally strong impersonation of "Capt. Lawrence Holbrook, a free lance," J. Francis Mores, is advantageous to a Gordon Graham U. District Attorney." Will A. Cook, slightly out of his metier, sings best in "The Lady of Flagon," and able portrayal of "Father Shannon," a faithful friend, H. L. Pryor upheld his reputation for her flamboyant flagging, blackmailing lawyer, and doubled effectively as "Dr. Francis Elliott." Luke Scott achieved perhaps the most brilliant career in the exacting role of "Robert Dempster," chief of the U. S. Secret Service. Carr were boys this week and played their parts admirably, though having Charles Taylor and George E. Brown handled minor roles in adequate fashion, the whole being a well-rounded drama yet given. The action is speedy and the climaxes are worked calls being frequent and enthusiastic. Next week, Mrs. Charles H. Anderson Miss Cleo Desmond, Charles Moore Sidney Kirkpatrick, Charence E. Muse Miss Martha McCormick, Knorr, Miss Mattie Wilkes, A. B. DeComathiere, Miss Orma Crosby Boque and others in the long-sawed, underlined for early presentation are "Madame X" and "The Family Cupboard." Manager Thomas, Like Tennyson's Brook, "Goes on Forever." It is stated upon good authority that there is absolutely no foundation for the sensational rumor set afloat last week by the syndicate of white capitalists are forming a scheme to erect or lease a "jim-crow" theatre in this city to produce dramas with colored casts, with a view of "putting Manager A. J. Thomas out of business." In the first place, Manager Thomas is too well-known and admired by the colored people of Washington to be put out of business by anybody; and in the second place, no one has any disposition to attempt such a foolish and unnecessary thing. The circulation of the canard looks to the layman as an effort to pull the wool over the eyes of Manager Thomas, and establish over him a protectorate that this astute young man of business does not need, and to "frame him" for personal ends. This places too low an estimate upon the intelligence and managerial acumen of Mr. Thomas, and no one who knows him expects him to "fall for it." The relations between Manager Thomas and the Quality Amis were so far in the way that other people capitalists with whom he deals are cordial and satisfactory, and paying public is pleased with the character of the entertainment that is being offered at the Howard. Manager Thomas will be pulling in the greenbacks at the Howard "until the cows come home." Like Tennyson's "Brook," he goes on forever. Live Topics of the Town. Congress has departed until the idea of Decembed. U street, the Court of Honor, is beautifully lighted with incandescent bulbs, from 11th to 14th street. Prof. James S.

Miss Mattie Pearl Adams, an estimable young lady, a graduate of Howard University, was refused admission to the classes at the Sargent School of Law, because she had the authority stated they had mitted colored students for a number of years, but thought it best to discontinue that policy, and would not hereafter allow the admission of Miss Adams has matriculated at the Posse School of Gymnastics, at Boston, said to be an institution of equal standing in the recent educational school, though less widely known. Prof. D. Goron Houston, director of the department of English at Howard University, has attained his degree as a A. M. at Harvard after putting in a M. of hard work there, returned to his university school at the opening of the fall term. Counsellor. T. Gillis Nutter, who stopped to visit his home in Charleston, W. Va., after attending the Philadelphia convention of the Elks of the World, denied the current report that he was not affiliated with otherwise, for re-election as Grand Ruler of that body. Mr. Nutter served three terms with credit and disdain for the university, which refused to consider a fourth term. The Washington Bee, once representing the community of this community on the present inefficient school administration, has departed from the faith and is silent on the issue of the university's kindergarten with fitting severity and fidelity to fact.

Prof. Kelly Miller, Dean of the College of Arts and Science at Howard University, delivered a scholarly address at Lake Placid, N. Y., a few days ago, the occasion being a university holiday. John Brown, the hero of Harper's Ferry, Prof. Miller was the only representative of the school to drop on a long program, which included some of the most noted men of the nation. The Indiana delegation of the Household of Ruth, No. 9, headed by the brilliant Mrs. Mary E. Washington, of Indianapolis, G. of the House of Indiana, has its headquarters at 1223 S street, where many visitors have called to pay their respects. Mrs. Washington, of Indianapolis, G. of the House of Indiana, is prominently mentioned for the post of Grand Worthy Superior. She has rendered conspicuous service for the order in the Hoosier state. A well-defined opposition has sprung up among teachers in the night schools of the District, save in cases where efficient instructors cannot be obtained for the teachers in the night schools. Normal graduates are entitled to a larger chance for employment by dropping the duplicate system of teaching in public policy to permit a teacher to be used at night, after having given the best that is within their powers during the day. Judge Terrell's salary has been increased to $3,000 by virtue of the passivity of Congress. Judge Terrell is now serving his fourth term as a member of the Municipal Court bench and is responsible for the five on that bench. His re-appointment came from President Wilson, and he was the only member thus held over from the previous administration and decidedly unusual compliment. NEWS OF THE NATION'S METROPOLIS Prof. N. W.

It is barely possibilities that these people who fail into these conditions and commit them. But I feel that it is the duty of the institutions of the land to seek to create these conditions which are so prevalent in our country. I believe that this can be done by making our institution an active, vital force for all. They should be taught the dignity of labor, the values of cleanliness, and the values of health and right, sousness and the comfort of country life. We believe the country boy should be taught the beauty and country life. He should be inspired by good roads and everything else that would make country life happy and attractive.

One of the most gripping and interesting novels that has appeared this year is "The Awakening" journal of the race is "The Awakening" journal of the kiah Jones" by John Edward Bruce, known to the press crowd as Bruce-Grit. It is one of the most entertaining novels that has appeared this year, and works out a moral lesson that ought to give the Negro greater strength in the political and political one, and concerns itself with some of the problems and rewards that the Negro is meeting with in this country and how it is possible to win recognition in Hezekiah Jones' colored politician who immigrated from the South to an Eastern state. The town concludes being colored people. Hezekiah who lived in the town for sometime was a leader among his race, and had won the esteem and confidence of the white poli- He was invited to all of the conferences, and was the quest at dinner at one time at the home of the Chairman of Republican committee, where he was a member of the committee. At this dinner the political situation was present. At this dinner the Negro was brought up as a member of the Committee, and he was the necessity of having the Negro considered by the Republican party. Hezekiah is pictured at the most educated of the colored population, and as a member of the American Church, he is proud of by the colored group who looked to him for advice and guidance on the problems that affected them. The whole story deals with Hezekiah, who was a member of the Negro as a just reward for his faithful services and duty in the ranks. The vexing problems that the Negro must encounter before recognition comes are graphic-heuristic, and they are not only through it all. Hezekiah is made the central figure meeting the issues bravely, and making his fight solely upon the ground of his interests is his only way to a passage from one of the chapters of the book reads as follows: "If the party comes back I will hand you another list for there are a numbness of the mind, and the mind is as old as you are, and you are old enough to guarantee these places in writing we stand ready to deliver the news of the party. You are not in need not tell for you know, that the Negroes of this city never scratch a ticket that I endorse. They have confidence in my judgment in these matters." This was the kind of talk that Hezekiah gave the powers that be, and the kind of straightforward stuff that won recognition from the local politicians of the little town where Hezekiah was born. The story is one with a good moral, race needs race, zekelkiah kish, The book contains two pages with an introduction by the author, and two pages with Phil Brown and issued from the press of the Saturday News at Hopkinsonville.

On Labor day quite a large crowd of excursionists from all parts of Georgia visited the greatest boxing contests that was ever witnessed before in this city, beating the Butler, of Brunswick, Mr. Mack Griffin of Savannah, Ga. The bout was held for and forwards according to Referee Eddie Moore. The Butler was put to the bad in the twelfth round. It seems as though Griffin was in a very good position, although Butler got in some good punches. Any boxer wishes a bounce with Griffin, but he tends to touch with Mr. Edward Moore of this city. Mr. Benjamin McClendon, who has recently returned from New York, is visiting his sister, Mrs. Sophie Walters. Someone wanted to know what the Knights of Pythias are doing in Brunswick, W.

The Tidewater News, a white paper published here comments, in part, as follows: "We have not been our pleasure to hear an address more replete with common sense, god judgment and along with it a sense of humor.

Maine goes to the Republican column. The Democrats are pulling out ancient figures, the only consolation they get. Senator Taggart has gone on record concerning his views of the Negroes as soldiers. It may be political, but we can't get away from the record. He has been the first Democrat of the present administration to go out of his way to make a noise in the interest of the Negroes. Slipping gently into winter. If we could have some of this summer's excess heat to pull down the winter to a reasonable average it would be in the interest of the poor. With food soaring and coal keeping fast company with food some gloomy days are promised. The cost of food is getting to be prohibitive. The government will be regulating our food supply as they do in Germany if this thing continues. Some will say Germany has no such right. True enough, but there was an emergency. A government is sometimes more than conforming to existing laws. It must take the bull by the horns in the interest of the people and not against them. How wise then must our representatives be—honest and fair. In event of emergency the power of venial, base men would be none the less.—From the "Mosses of an Old Manse." The mob at Lima demonstrated two things. It showed that a determined sheriff can do much toward reducing the evil. And we say this with no little concern, since Ely, the man of that occasion suffered most. The loss of his daughter, owing to the intense excitement, was extremely fortunate, practically robbing him and the Negroes of a victory over mob rule. The thought of the race, doubtless feel personally aggrieved at the unfortunate happening, for surely it is not expected that any man keep the laws at such a severe cost. If the event can be fittingly memorialized it ought to be done. Indeed, his great effort to protect the Negro should not go unrested, not to speak of the sacrifice. The event stands alone, signally, the greatest singlehanded effort in the interest of a Negro known to the country. It was more than merely trying to carry out the mandates of the laws. Both of the great parties are trying to draw consolation from the result of the Maine election. Politicians are afraid of that old saying the way Maine goes so goes the general election. It does not mean a foregone conclusion, but it is very consoling to those of the party that wins in Maine, to know the choice of that state. The Republicans are ubliant because, through the victory they see a reunited party throughout the union. The Democrats are theorizing about the unusual small majority in a Republican stronghold—urging old figures to bolster up their bones and as proof against the claims to the power they think are working the old saying about how Maine goes to advantage. Clearly the Democrats are down in the mouth, regardless of Maine's normal Republicanism. They are affrighted by the scare crow of how Maine goes. The Republicans have the better of the situation, figures or no figures and most likely they will push on stronger than ever, keeping up the rout of the Democrats. Attention is called to an error in the editorial last week, "Knocking Segregation." We said the attorneys were white men. We are informed from Newport News, Va., the scene of the struggle to oust the segregating measures, that the attorneys, J. Thomas Newsome and W. R. Walker are Negroes. They are to be conceived as appropriate to have made in the case. The manager of the Newport News Star, speaking of Mr. Newsome, says: Mr. Newsome is easily the foremost member of the bar of his race in Virginia, and is recognized as one of the ablest lawyers of the state, regardless of color, in criminal matters. The press of the state gives him unstinted praise, for he possesses a rare tact that enables him to drive his point with Pauline precision and force, while at the same time, he is courteous to his opponent and to the best college defended in Norfolk, will sit next Monday, when the case is heard on its merits, a battle that will make the hearts of the Negroes proud that Mr. Newsome is black. Mr. Walker, too, is a strong and logical advocate, and will give a good account of himself. Some of our race journals are taking a shot at Ben Tillman because he feels repentant for his past attitude to the North and the Negroes. They are of an unforgiving spirit, willing to see the old man pass away without straightening up his earthly accounts. This is entirely wrong. The priest is not for that. He is for that. The priest is seen hurrying to the dying, giving the last sacrament, hearing the last word, feeling that it is in consonance with His will that the eleventh hour derelict may usher safely into port if matters are ship-shaped. We do not choose to quarrel about what is called by some Mr. Tillman's death-bed repentance. On the other hand we see it quite as the father of the prodigal son. The heart warms up to those who, at last, confess that they have wronged us. The tears of the aged like those of the children, are mighty powerful. When the horny hand begins to dig in the eyes, then in the language of Shakespeare, we see the children shed them now." Ben Tillman or any of the rest of them are not without the pale of the affections of men unless they choose to be. "While the light holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return." Yes, and the oldest one. The appointment of Mrs. Lelia Walters, wife of Bishop Walters, as clerk in the office of the Commissioner of Immigration at Ellis Island, N.Y., has drawn fire from the Negro press. It would be unfair to say that the whole press has had a say about the bishop's wife's appointment. Several publications, however, have commented one way or the other. As a rule they take President Wilson and the bishop to task for what they think to be a compromise in the thing of office seeking by Negro Democrats. We confess, and we feel to be very liberal about political happenings, that the appointment does strike one as a trifle humorous in view of the great expected. It reminds one of the old saying, "The mountain labored and brought forth a mouse." The bishop, nevertheless, is our friend. But friends can get in ludicrous situations just the same as any one else. As a personal matter the appointment would need—such as any of us would like to see—our wives—twelve hum dred per annum, regardless of the annums. A good full one would help like everything in these strenuous times of high food prices. But it strikes us that brother Wilson is having a little fun with his colored constituents. A national colored citizenship rights congress will be held at Washington, D. C., October 4 and 5, under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League. William Monroe Trotter, the correspondent, secretary and also the guiding genius of the movement, is urging that delegates be sent from churches, civic and literary societies, fraternal and other organizations in order to insure general representation. Such a congress cannot result in harm even if it only succeeds in getting together and possess resolutions in keeping with the demands of the day. The old axiom of, in unity there is strength is to be kept in mind. The simple process of assembling in the name of good has its effect. It is strange that there should be the necessity for such an assembly. That labor leader who said that the spirit of rapacity was rammed among men, and that each was not very much out ofavouring them, was not very much out ofavouring them. The gloss, the veneer of society hide much, but underneath there are signs that men are flying at their mutual threats. Organization is the bomb proof protection; so we have it among all classes to save against undue encroachment. The Negroes will profit by any and all organizations founded on justice to men, and which are conducted along that line. DR. MOTON'S POSER. Dr. Moton, of Tuskegee, in his recent speech at Franklin, Va., among other things said: "Prove to the white people that an educated Negro is worth more to the community than an uneducated Negro and the white people will see to it that your children are educated." This is said from somewhat of a patronizing viewpoint, but we guess it is correctly put, the inference being that we get our education from the white people, or do not get it at all. We do, in a manner, however, not in a direct way. The white people give more because they have more. They pay more by way of taxes because they own more, and thus we are to a large extent dependent on them for education. Dr. Moton said very much in little. What is the educated Negro's status? What is the standing of the uneducated Negro? What is expected of the educated Negro? Are the educated and uneducated rated the same? Are the educated and the intelligent the same? It will take considerable inquiry and thought before these questions are satisfactorily threshed out. It looks as if the doctor has offered what is sometimes called a poser. Our own race is not agreed that the activities or the educated and better-to-do classes are in conformity with what they should be. There is a decided breach between the "higher ups" and "lower downs," and which may or may not be for the best. There are those who turn up their noses at the would-be aristocracy, and which aristocracy is as rigidly adhered to, at least, in form, by that "cult" as it is among similar groups of white people. There is a disposition of aloofness. Is it appreciated by the white people? Or do they frown on these smart folks who so autily illustrate themselves? How may a Negro best show his worth to the community—at once to the white people and the colored people? Are the races agreed as to who is the model Negro? We do not think the ideals would be the same, if this be true, it will not be an easy task to prove the more acceptable individual. The uneducated man may be as moral as the educated man, but not nearly so aggressive in looking after the race's general welfare. Which is the better in the instance? Which race does he serve best, thinking of them as they are thought of popularly? Yes, the doctor has sprung a poser. And according to old custom of riddles, he, himself must be able to answer, he or pay the penalty. SENATOR TAGGART. In the issue of August 19, we called attention to a bill introduced in the House of Representatives at Washington, D. C., by Congressman Caraway having for its object the Negrohibiting of any person of the Negro or colored race from enlisting in the United States army or navy. We also called attention to the injustice of such a measure, not to speak of the indiscretion of introducing it when war breathed on every side of us. The stupidity of such a measure at such a time was alarming even from the viewpoint of white men, who feel not to have anything in common with the Negroes beyond their bare existence. We said at that time that the effort to alienate the civil affections of the ten million people with their possible one million of fighting men was no less than a treasonable design whether consciously or unconsciously committed. It was a colossal blunder, inviting a species of antagonism never dreamed of by the race, and the thought of which is not welcome to it. Happily, the thought of such antagonism is being dispelled, at least, by one, the Democratic Senator from Indiana, our Mr. Taggart, the last to enter the general law making circles. He is opposed to the Caraway scheme of unmaking citizens, reducing their liberties instead of enlarging them, and which is the plain duty of any government. It is to be hoped that Senator Taggart is not alone in nipping this infamy in the bud. It is to be hoped that his opposition is the result of the better judgment of senators and representatives at Washington, thus insuring the essentials of citizenship and without which citizens are merely delizizens; shapeless, characterless, meaningless things, to race to the race or to the general nation. Senator Taggart on hearing of the "disabling" bill made inquiry in the upper house, of which he is a member, saying: "My attention has been called to the bill to prevent the enlistment of Nebraska and United States. I addressed a letter to the Secretary of War on the subject and have received a reply from him. I am pleased with this reply of the Secretary of War and the bill referred to, which is short, may be printed in the Record." The senator's letter was as follows: Hon. Newton D. Baker, Nebraska; Hon. Navy; Dear Mr. Secretary, My attention has been called to H. R. 17183, introduced in the House of Representatives in 1916, which I am inclosing herewith. This bill states that hereafter there shall be enlisted or re-enlisted in the military of the United States, either in the Army or Navy, any person of the Negro or colored race. I feel sure that this bill does not meet with the wishes of the War Department. There are several occasions bill to be referred to the loyalty of the Negro soldiers, and only recently their bravery was shown at Carlsbad, an imposed to this bill. Hoping to hear from your department that this bill does not meet with your approval, and with personal regards, I beg to remain. Yours very truly, T. TAGGART. We are pleased to note according to the Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, that that department is also opposed to Mr. Caraway's wild notion. It is most assuring and greatly appreciated since it makes for the continued peaceful racial relations, and which, we think, will ever continue peaceful as long as the ground wok of citizen life is disturbed. His letter to Senator Taggart: War Department, Washington, August 30, 1916. Hon. Thomas Taggart. My Dear Senator: I have received your letter of August 28 and read the correspondence. My attention had not been before called to this bill, and, so far as I know, it has not been referred to this bill. I have been asked that the bill is to prevent the enlistment or reenlistment of people of the colored population in the United States. Any such bill would receive the disapproval and adverse response. Those who are familiar with the history of our country from the armies organized by the United States in washington and the american Revolution will know that the present day know that brave and often conspicuously gallant service has been performed in the most recent instance, at Carrizal, in Mexico, these colored troops conducted an intrepidity, and reflected nothing but honor upon the uniform they wore. Secretary of War Senator Taggart, we take pleasure in saying, has kept the faith. We have in mind his studious regard for the Negroes from his youth up. It is politician, but his success did not come through that kind of shrewdness that one is likely to think about at once. Out of office and in office he was in hailing distance to men in need. Perhaps, this was farsightedness; having an end in view; taking a long chance. But somehow we think that it was mostly pure Tom Taggart, and who could, under no circumstances get rid of his generous spirit; they were as one. So it can readily be inferred that it was the man who had the peculiar gift—all things else being added to him; the only witchcraft he knew in holding men to him. He is almost true to his friends. He rode with them to victory and with the same unalterable purpose to defeat. The country has now a sample of the Taggart touch—like that of Midas—turning everything to gold. In a material sense he has prospered, and through it all he has been as friend and brother to the colored people, ever surrounding himself with them in such positions as he consistently could put them. We have in mind his spiritual touch, winning men by his unbiased views of citizenship. Of course, at this time, it will be said that the Indiana Senator is playing for effect. Let that be as it may. If it gets our race beyond the touch of infamous orders it will not matter by what name his activities be called. However, as we see it, he is not a man to sit quietly and hear to measures that are so fraught with danger to the Negroes and to the entire country without a voice of protest. He is before the voters of Indiana for election to his present position. His political views are known, as it concerns the party of which he is a member. We could not do otherwise than present him as he is; for if we did we would show less concern for him than he has shown for us. Bert Williams is a philosopher as well as a comedian. Among other wise things he says: "There's no such thing as 'social equality'. The poor whites may be so close to the whole human life." Good man, other white man. The rich white man derives much solace from contemplation of how much better he is than the poor white man. He is a good man, and he has a good time with money. The white man who is without money. The Colored man who tries to get into the white man's class usually makes a sense of it. He has a lot of holds himself, detached is happiest. The whole proposition of social distinction, viewed from a detached position, is humorous. I have no social ambition myself. Individualism to guide-word. My remedy? Social distinctions are inevitable. If there are public places that do not wish to serve one, he has the power to make the problem. The man is to be one about all who ask what is to be one about the social problem, in its relation to the Negro race is the same. You are a Colored man who you know you will help your self. You can help yourself individually, and you will be more distinguished than if you were merged into the mass of white men most of whom are the members of the same family. Never gain an prominence in the world. This is worth thinking about. Notice: The Freeman is on sale at C. T. Henderson's baby shop, 285 Antolletas Street, Wichita, 100000. JACK TROTTERS NEW YORK NOTES OF STAGE AND SPORT THE COLORED BRANCH OF THE WHITE RATS HOLD FIRST OPEN MEETING. After the Airing of Its Objects and Purposes, in the Presence of a Large-sized Audience, Mr. Farrell, Local Organizer, Receives Many Applications for Membership. With a view to making the aims, objects and purposes of the Colored Branch of the White Rats Union thorny devil artists in this city, Mr. William H. Farrell, chief organizer of local No. 15, held at the New Lincoln Theater (the management) on last Friday evening, September 8th, the first open meeting of the organization and offered as the principal event of the performance. International Executive of the White Rats Actors' Union of America, and Mr. Ernest Carr, local executive. Considering the number of Colored acts which are at present out of the fair sized body of professionals who manifested large interest in the proceedings. Conspicuously among those faces of many of the old time performers. Mr. Mountford's address in the main was along the lines of strength there is in the United States, and further discussed unionism as being the all-important factor to the ends of the American system of managers and agents. He held out an invitation to every Colored vaudevillian in the entire country to join the White Rats Actors' Union, 19,000 people, so that equal protection and opportunities of that organization could be enjoyed by all alike. He let them know that he would be able or big stick variety to compel enrollment in the union, but he did make sure that the time was not far off when White Rats Actors' Union would be able to dictate the bill of players for the entire United States. During his speech Mr. Mountford cited many points in illumination of the power of this great organization. One a recent occurrence which happened in Louis, so he said was a sister event to the one he was on a week. On completing their final act on a Saturday night and wanting to show the city in which they were booked to show, they rushed into the theater manager's office for their pay, and was given a knife by that individual with a butcher knife. Realizing the time they would lose in bringing suit on the house for the dress party, they went to their membership in the White Rats Union and notified the speaker of the dress party that the theater manager received a visit from the White Rats' St. Louis representative with demand for the dress party. The manager phatically refused. Then said the representative, go behind and you will find the manager went behind and found every act ready to move out unless he immediately put those lady performers at the door. In the audience, though, there were a few people who took exception to Colored performers in the face of an attempt made on their part a few years back to impede the progress of the show. The protesters were the protests advanced by Mr. Leon Williams, an old-time showman, and Mr. Williams asked the Vaudeville Benevolent Association. Mr. Williams asked Mr. Mountford to kindly enlighten him on the reasons back of the protest. It was only a few years back that the White Rats had backed Walter Kelly (The Virginia Judge) in a fight on the then famous team of Williams & Walker from the position of headliners of the Hammerstier Victoria Theater. The then famous team of Rats then did not want the Colored actors and that he wished to be informed what was at the bottom of this movement to make them wanted Mr. Mountford stated in reply to Mr. Williams' questions that at the time of the mentioned occurrences that he had not become affiliated with the White Rats, which was then composed of only two comparatively small bodies of men, the large, but that the latter part of the 1907 he had arrived in this country for the first time, and a short time afterwards had joined this association. From that time to 1911 he stated that he had devoted his entire enough to develop the strength of the White Rats Union by organizing a branch everywhere that an actor or actress could be found. From 1911 to 1915 he had resigned from the union, returning only this year to resume his work on organizing the new race of men, and developing the years previous. At the end of Mr. Mountford's speech the audience signified its appreciation by long and earnest applause. Many impromptu speeches were made by professionals in the audience who voiced their thanks for themselves and college men for the importance of becoming identified as members of such an organization as the "White Rats Union of America." New Lincoln Theater Opens Its Winter Season With Four All Star Colored Stock Companies, to Pinyu at the New Lincoln Theater in China of The Centers Established in Southern Cities. The New Lincoln Theater in its brand new autumn's dress will on Monday, October 1, open to the clientele for the winter season, entering upon the second year of presenting Colonel Burke's plays, played by the successful team by this house in its initial effort in this line was unprecedented, plans have been made by Mr. Billie Burke, to present such a string of Broadway's very latest successes as the Mollie Burke, to present each of the other cities will gasp in tullmoutous astonishment. It can be said that Burke's work, which has been whispered about on the date of the New Lincoln's fall opening, now that the opening date is fast approaching, cut is out of the bag, and we learn that the one pet prize package which will be delivered to the New Lincoln's Southern cities by the New Lincoln's progressive management, will be four separately colored companies, Speculation is rife as to what people will make up the four new companies in the New Lincoln Stock Players. This feeling of curiosity which is being evoked by the new companies is nothing unusual, since the arrival of Mr. Burke as the manager of this house. Seldom has a week in which a new manager from the burning sun actually paralyzes almost every kind of young manager failed to invent some new or novel something that always served to hold the interest of the theater-going public. At the Lafayette Last Week. The Colored players who presented "At Bay" at the Lafayette Theater last week has made me "miserable" by an entire Colored cast will live in this and other cities for many years. The company of three companies of the Elite Amusement corporation have always arisen to a more than satisfactory present. The company successfully created out of an at first skeptical if not hostile theater-goer, a real live and interested first day attendant. This Week, "Within The Law." "Within The Law," made up of an almost entirely real life, who were first seen in this wonderful production at the Lafayette theatre as if it had never before been shown here. Mrs. Chas. H. Anderson is about to leave the cast. Her work in the leading role is making an even stronger impression upon her audiences than she would on any other actress of this Mrs. Anderson is surrounded with one of the strongest selections of the play. New York is paying homage to the excellent quality of acting done by the company and is accordingly keeping house packed with a nightly attendance. Miss Cleo Desmond. Artist. We have long waited for the time to come, that our little comment of apprehension has been many written landmarks of fellow contribs. But now that we have the opinions, have the opinions, have the opinions, have dwarfed considerably through the inexhaustible amount of really good things various writers have written, and we are well aware that we're not saying exactly now by stating that Miss J. H. W. H. We are well aware that we're not saying exactly now by stating that Miss J. H. W. H. —of being all there is—in acting. Another Player Who Knows How to Play. It is always a positive delight for us to attend a play in which Mr. Chas. G. has played it, this early period of his stage experience, developed the habit of putting good red blood into the characters in the play, and at "At Bay" Mr. Taylor gave a life-like portrayal of a New York police inspector having the utmost confidence in his own ability. He is neither timid in the handling of parts or in the acting of the characters, but carried through with precision and yet without a semblance of stiffness. He has no speaking, and a crisp, clean-cut appearance, friends, Mr. Chas. G. is Taylor good. Eddie Brown—Juvenile. John Edward Brown, is the name he uses on the program, but we only know him as just plain Eddie. Brown's Sister Mary Rogers company in the writing and producing of "The Old Man's Boy," a couple of years ago, Eddie had never entertained any serious interest. True, it was, he had in amateur church and club productions shown more than ordinary promise, but to depend upon the meat along with enough fame to keep his salary going higher up, never had he and me along with we have just mentioned, along came Creamer and Rogers" "Old Man's Boy" and along went Eddie with it. When he and me went to the big plays we just about as good an actor for his years as there could be found anywhere in this country. The big plays in the big plays that are produced by the Elite Amusement Company have done much to add Eddie up to his presence in the play world, a hungry passion to learn all that he can about his chosen profession, it is nothing more than a passion, but by his always improving work, will be soon seen doing the leading juvenile in some of the plays which will be produced at the Lafayette theatre. RESENTS PASTOR MAKING A PAY SHOW OF JOHN KEUBRIE HILL'S FUNERAL. Miss Minnie Brown States the Reverend Gentleman Indulged in Remarks During the Course of Services That Would Have Added to the Comedy Laurels of John Rucker-Himself. She suggests to the Professionals Have Less Observation and More Simplicity at Their Funerals. (By Minnie Brown.) Did you ever attend a five cent show, where you pay a nickel and stay all night? Brown, of the Metropolitan Baptist Church made of John Leubrie Hill's benefit of his congregation last Sunday. "There's going to be a funeral here and they are going to have an orchestra put a nickel in the collection basket for this vacation fund, and I will see that they put a nickel in the collection seats." This statement with the following one, "There's a funeral outside, and the funeral can wait till I get my money for my vacation," was what one heard if one happened in the above mentioned church last Sunday. It is impossible to conceive a funeral service conducted with dignity, less solemnity than that over the remains of the late J. Leubrie Hill. The family was at the church at one of the funerals, and they were allowed to enter the church at a quarter of two (we judge that least been on its way to completion). The pastor commenced his funeral service of the program that had preceded, for its absence of solemnity. In this he met the president of the college of the C. B. V. A. Glee Club and the solo splendidly rendered by Miss Elizabeth McClintock, client. We would advise our professional bretherm to have less ostentation than the simplicity is the keynote of solemnity. Rev. Brown admonished the profession to lead clean, wholesome lives, and stated that he is no way found fault in the future of learning of earning a livelihood. He then took occasion to expand on the fact that the immense congregation was not others because of the general mass of this size, at all times, and all services. This remark with a few others throughout the service brought forth laughs from the congregation that they had been directly involved in the production. During this trying service, we received at least one note of comfort. The pastor stated he believed Mr. Hill, "help him find Jesus," was a saved man, for his entire congregation and himself had prayed for Mr. Hill, and he believed that he did not, and he believed that this point we would commend the beautiful prayer and wonderful benefaction that opened and closed the services. "Rev. Brown's Church of The Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church. They were indeed "oil on the troubled waters," and much needed after the terrible strain undergone that after the death of the�. We know that the professional people are, after the experience, condemning all ministers. This is unfair and so, as to the mind for, the ministers of Christ, this is why who would have preached a sermon that would have had admonition as well as comfort and would have caused more than one sum of think seriously for There was a great deal of criticism over the service conducted over the remains of the late Aida Overton-Walker, but far better than such as we sat through last Sunday. It was hard enough for intelligent service, but imagine our chargin BILLY JOHNSON FOUND DEAD OUTSIDE OF A CHICAGO CLUB. The original Billy Johnson, formerly of the first original Cake Johnson, was found dead in the front yard of a rear club at 3510 State street, Chicago, Ill., on Tuesday morning, September 12. Johnson had frequented the club and whether his death was the result of intoxication, foul play or an accident is not yet known. Full report of Johnson's theatrical career will appear in the next issue by Sylvester when we looked over the congregation and found what numbers the members of the profession who had assembled to pay their last respects. Brown announced that Mr. Hill had given two entertainments for his church that netted $18.00 and this week he gave another. We feel that the contribution might have merited more respect if money were given through a local paper that the entire vacation fund amounted to $710.00 and a sum that we know that the act gathering up the fragments on last Sunday has made Rev. Brown lose the respect of the congregation and an earthly representative of Christ. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.

Week of Sept. 4th found the big show still in the city of Richmond, Va., and as usual drawing the crowd. The show was the first of the day of the population month this season, as we have showed to a bigger white audience than any Colored show that has placed this city. The show was the first of the day of the people, but when you look over the following programs it is plain to be seen why the big show has such grand success. A few years ago, the show is being opening chorus then comes the following acts: Peg Lightfoot, the one-led dancing wonder, single, then for a single team of the public. Ma. Raine, Clara Smith and Evelyn White (all singles), who are assassinators of the blues and soon shouters that are hard to beat. The band is going to be going, dancing and talking; Tressie Leggs, singing and dancing; Knox and Ramsey, singing, dancing and talking; Dales, Martin, singing, singing and talking; Moo, Moo, and Moo, and talking; Love and Nappil, singing, dancing and talking; Tolliver, monolog, dancing and rolling skate dance. Now comes a show. It is the first time that are hard to beat. Great Adams, trick, bicyclist, Roxie, Cladwell, the atheist girl, who deserves great credit. The show is being on a new level fire escape act; Albert Gaines, wire walking; Wells and Wells, high-trapeze act; Gaines, Bros., acrobatic and balances, and Gaines and Wells. We are going to be a double-trapeze act; then the acrobatic troupe, five in number, goes to make up the same kind of greatness. STAGE NOTES.

In Their Second Week At the Washington Theatre, Indianapolis—New Presentations, Abounding In Bright Spots—Esther Bigeou a Show Genius. Irwin C. Miller's musical comedy combination is in its second week at the Washington Theater. Last week's show was a pace setter for an upbeat musical, with the possibilities of the leaders for the legitimate. This week there more of the art than the moment the curtain goes up. Mr. Miller has conceived and worked out a new kind of opening, the stage drama with drops and other furnishings, giving the very much desired theatrical atmosphere. Chorus members merely singing with a few movements in keeping; his bunch is very live, happy, doing something sympathetic to the audience at the jump. The opening was in a music store, and which had all the appearance of the opening this week as it was last week. This says very much for the staging and the impropriety of the Esther Bigeon. Ether Bigoue deserves to be known as the show genius or the show inspiration. She deserves I to honor her accomplishments. This week she was seen all through the work looking always as the artist's latest and most recent accomplishments. The chorus were prettier, more musical, more spirited because of her, who regardless of her standout personality threw adding greatly to the effect of the many pretty groups they presented. Her special numbers were distinguish- Irwin C. Miller. Mr. Miller is of a most pleasant personality. His schooling together with his experience and observation has given him a master's degree, business and readily see what he had in mind between the two curtains up and down. His idea is boldly carried out by the performers, his black face work with Gus Butler in the music store was full of fun, making a fine entertainment. As a comedian, his wit is especially plentiful fast, snappy stuff with no especially borrowed mannerisms, making for a better line of comedianism, which does not depend on a grotesque Gun Butler: Mr. Butler has fuller scope this week, and something he seems to like more than anything about him who is the center of attraction in the store, owing to his musical especially to do rags. Butler did seem to be a bit of the classics, but nothing doing he struck up the "Blues"—everybody sold at once when the favorite strains were heard. Butler added to his reputation as a comedian and a "putter" singer. Trixie Butler: Danny Trixie Butter was heard in a pleasing song number. All through her work was attractive. Miss Butter is a handsome little brown with a hat that is bewitching and which she is on and off of the stage. She costumes it. Margaret Ricks. Another pleasing personality is Mar- a's number. She is a tall, slender number. She is taking in her body. Rastus Calloway. In the stunt, training for the act, Bastus Calloway shows up as an indian who knows how to use his feet. This feature is the happiest hits. Here was something highly different if not wholly new, mining for a series of pretty pictures with this show abounds. The others of the company are Lula Whidby, Georgia Wiggins and Robert L. Perry, who all indications Miller and his buncs have plain sailing from this time on.

AL. G. BARNES SHOWS IN INDI ANAPOLIS—SAW THE "CAP'N" BOSS. Al. G. Barnes as a showman is a new one to most of the Indianapolisians. Just the same they concluded to take on last Monday when he hit the town. The show features trained with amateur department consequently well represented by dignitaries of the forests. The parade made the town as usual and the horses as usual; however, not so long as some of those of the greater shows. The horses and ponies were attractive. The elephants were beautiful and the canine the pieces-resistance of any show. Al. G. Barnes under his big white tail bears the canine the pieces-face art, who are colored. The clown is Alfred Anderson who features a boxing kangaroo, a bucking mule and a turning abstraction. He is also a colored man, who has been with the show for several years. Laid eyes on the distinguished Mr. Barnes; barn shocks hands with him talked with the business man, a show fan to get to see the real head of the business. Mr. Barnes has a fine collection of books, one of the pictures of John D. Rockfeller. He is not in the least decrepulc. But rather agile, apprehensive and in touch with the spirit. His hair is white, adorning a face somewhat meagre and which is at once trifle ruddy, due perhaps to high living. He dresses in the height of fashion, tending to the sport idea in his clothes, and rich appearing solitaire. I think he wore an Elk emblem. His coat was of the atest design, which was also his shirt. Dan P. Dozier, colored, is his valet. Made the acquaintance of all the people of the liamas, also was his shirt through the courtesy of Mr. Anderson, and whose guest I was at the evening meal. Among those men were Bert Leo, of singing mule music, the liamas. Butler is colored. BILLY LEWIS. Read The Freeman and get all the Liamas news. THE FREEMAN.

Gibson's New Standard Theatre is certainly making history for itself, many who sought admission could not afford the theatre for them, and yet the management of the large public house gave three shows that night to try and satisfy his many patrons. The show, "Standing Room Only", is displayed both shows. This proves the old adage, "That good things come to those who have been certain." It had patience, now he is bringing his a ward. The crowds have been so dense this week that even the Freeman relied on the show, but knowing the reputation of the performers who are on this week he can only say that the crowd will fill the theatre everybody enjoys as you can hear round after round of ovation after every show, and those who are participating in the street eloquently attest their popularity. There are unfolded many brilliant hits of comedy, music, vaudeville and theater, and those who are participating in the house's brilliant record are Brandon and Taylor, Walker and Johnson, and Purcell, Drake-Walker, Carson HIS WIT SAVED HIM. To show the ready wit of the Negro especially under trying and embarrassing circumstances, Helene Clinton, of Samoa, Set Co., which opens at the Standard Bank on Saturday, day 7. Sept. 11th, tells an interesting story of a Colored parson who came across a sinner most unexpectedly, the man he most admired and he was a reborn of the first water. Marse had just left the church where he had vowed to live a decent life, and he was a victim of the abuse, however, failed to conceal a just whisky which he carried under his arm, so when the parson met him he was constrained to ask: "What have yo' under yo' arm, Marse?" "Nothin' Parson." "Sure dat's somethin', Marse?" "Pears to me lak a jug of whisky." Mares looked at the jug sheepishly. "So it is," he admitted. "Doan yo' know it am wrong to carry whisky under yo' arm after leavin' de church?" Throw dat stuff away and be saved." "I can't, yelled Marse, as he realized what the loss of the whisky meant to him. The parson was furious, "And why?" he asked. "Cause it doesn't belong all to me. Part is mine and part is my brother's." "Den throw yo' part away and give your brother his part." "Dat am a fine suggestion," said Marse with a serious grin. "But doan yo' see, Parson, my part am on de bottom." After which remark the Parson threw up his hands and fled.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE LOCAL NEWS THERE AGAIN UP TO THE FINAL JOE GANS PEER WAS OF ALL BOX ERS IN LIGHTWEIGHT CLASS Old Negro Star Outclassed Any Mod Battles—Baltimore Boy Red- uced Boxing to a Science. NEW YORK—Every new lightweight who wins a few fights is prompted ferred to the hosting clubs as "another Joe lightweight." Each and every manager of a club with a killer in the punch gully refers to his player in the same way. "Wait until you see this boy, he says, "and you'll agree with me that he's another Joe Gans is often strange that they never speak of "another Lavigne", or another Erme, or another Burchard—or go back far enough to their fighters to the one only Jack McAuliffe. Whether or not they ever McAuliffe scores, they never did—it is always that they use as a comparison. All of which suggests, moreover, that they have been about Gans, who has been lying under the green turf these many years and by all precedent should be fairly forgotten. I've seen them all, and I can say without hesitation that there never was a kind of an open mind, I say that there never will be "an怒客 Joe Gans", for the history of all Gans has shown that they are in course of a better man appears. We may have some time, a greater than Gans but he isn't in sigh yet, and I for one do this. When I was a mere novice in following professional training, I was a mile away to see the Baltimore Negro in the ring. The Gans was the one who how well one be acquainted with his style of fighting. Joe always had something new to do. use when In Body and Brain Gans Was the Per- fect Fighter. Gans was as full of combination of brain and physique as he lived in a ring, with his fighter combined skill, power and intelligence. If he had been a white man he would have been the most popular character he has had, most fighting ability he combined his tremendous sizes of bones with all his tremendous modesty. Through the earlier part of his career Gans was controlled by a manager who constantly forced a fight, and arranged with them. He and Joe Gans went through with them. He managed, by some shifty sleight of hand, to secure his debt. He used the subtleties to enforce his wishes. But at last Gans, sick and sore, over constant criticism, refused to obey orders any longer, left his manager to be publicly announced this in the future, he would be the only man inclinations and was absolutely "on the level" in all the things engagements. There was a certain magnetism about Joe Gans. The public believed him, and to his right, be it said that from that to his fought every fight he could. He became one-pier of the most popular of our champions, and when he went down at last before Rattling Nelson, there was no note of exultation in any of the hundred stories written about him, and the right to be a fighter. When a small boy he worked in the Baltimore fish market. He showed some ability in the boxing indulged in by the youngsters and his bosses. He was in a set of boxing areas for which he paid $170. In short time Gans had shown such superiority over all rivals that the boss bought another pair of gloves and had him box against his boys at once. Doing this every day developed a unique effect. In the youngman's life. He to defend him to the same time he ready to take any opportunity to put one of his opponents out of the fray with a single punch. He learned how to slap aside blows and at the same time coun- Joe first fight was with a rival in the fish market. The two boys fought for a purse of $2 and a collection of $10. He watched at this time seemed a fortune to him. He ran all the way home to watch he fought another fight for a purse of $8, winning with a knockout in twenty-three games. He had he fought another fight for a purse of $8, winning with a knockout in twenty-three games. He was bursting with excitement over the discovery of this new "phenom" young Joe took on a real fight in a boxing ring. He recounted his boxing with the "Kentucky Rosebud," a remarkably clever darky boxer who had recently won a boxing ring. He almost invincible George Dixon. Of course, Rosebud readied the fish market boy as merely a punching bag. He was picking up the fight. Joe Gans knocked the Rosebud down several times and gave him a terrible batting. From that moment he was How He Became a Master Boxer How He Became a Master Boxer. Now to show what stuff there was in his boxing self with taking on an occasional preliminary bout and dubbing around in some gymnasiums, more famous bersers work, to study them. He had earned a little money by boring, and one night he asked to be a mother. One might be hired to Bob Fitzsimons box. He was fascinated by the freckled champion's home job told his mother that he would give her what money he had, leave his job at the fish market, and take his bersers work for another look at Fitzsimons. Every night he studied freckled Bob. His fittsimons work was still watching him in every show and studying every movement the champion made. He followed Fitzsimons about his boxing little now and then to cover expenses, and he learned more in those lessons learn in as many years—a great deal more, for he became a master. When he began fighting again he was in great demand. He beat McMartland, then considered the cleverest lightweight in the world, won a purse and became famous all at once. After that it was easy for Gans although he fought all of the time. He was knocked down in those days. Kid McFadden knocked him out. Gans made match after match with McFadden beat him points and finally knocked him out in three rounds in a San Francisco fight. Gans was usually successful in his that but because he had brain and was not sure to succeed in a second attempt. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS TO MEET ON RIGHTS OF CITIZEN WASHINGTON, D.

McGraw started his career with the New York Giants and the New Yorkers won the National league pennants in 1904 and 1905 and the world’s title in 1905. They lost to the Boston Red Sox in 1906 because of Merkle’s famous “boner” and finished third in 1909. In 1910 the Giants finished second and were first in 1911. In 1912 the Giants finished second and were first in 1911. Connie Mack organized the Athletics in 1901. They won the National League pennants in 1902, 1905, 1910, 1913 and 1914. They also captured the world’s title in 1910 from the Cuba, and from their 1911 win. And from their finished last for the first time in their career. DISPUBE JACKIE MOORE'S CLAIM TO LIGHTHAM CHAMP. 10NJHIP As I was loking over the sport sheet in The Freeman I saw where Jackie Moore claims the team the Colored boys class. I deny his statement as my boy has met him three times and got two decisions over him. I am not sure if he goes and time from 10 to 20 rounds at the lightweight, for if the match is pulled off we are willing to fight winner aka nil or give the one with the best go and time, see the challenge in your paper or send me a telegram at once at my expense. Hoping to hear from you at once, I re-read the RATES HAN$ WAGNER AS GREAT EST OF ALL BALL STARS. John K. Tener echoes the sentiments of William Chase Temple that "Honus Wagner has the greatest ball player the greatest ball player." The National league executive, like Temple, points out that over a sweep of two decades, the greatest star never has been a natural foot ball player. "Wagner's brain is always working," said Tener. "With some uncanny power, he can play every play before it is made; he never makes a false move, never does the wrong thing. Mechanically and mentally, he is the greatest." The grand old warrior hasn't been given credit for being a smart player, yet I dared he say. He was the season's sweep than most ball players do in a lifetime. But it always has seemed to be Wagner's misfortune to have the sport writers been given the real credit due him.

The Australian champion Al McCoy, the nominal holder of the middleweight title. Darcy proposes that before several New York promoters who are considering it seriously. The Curley, McKetrick & Pollock syndicate has agreed to be the champion and Tex Rickard is doing some tall figuring on the proposition.

ST. LOUIS.—Pat Moran's champion Phillies took a pretty bad slump on their late western trip, but they came back in a fashion to prove that they intend to fight for the laurels while a mathematical chance remains remaining. It was a few years after in the National League now is almost as pretty and exciting as that of the American league. The 1916 career of the Quakers goes to show what great benefit lies in having one pitcher of a Great Merchant's World. But for this fellow, the Quakerers would have been out of it long ago. If Moran wins the pennant, he will have Alec to thank. Alexander turned in twenty-seven of Philadelphia's seventy-five victories. And all the while he was pilling the second-in-round record was only nine times. Alexander told me recently that he had never felt so well in his life—that, far from being overworked, he felt he hadn't done his full share. I have told Pat," said he, "that I would pitch every other day if he so did my work. I'm so much so would you like these times a week without suffering the slightest inconvenience. I'm as strong as Ed Walsh ever was. He used to think nothing of sixty games a season. I could stand up better under pressure, for he was a spitball pitcher. To be willing to play a whole series if a It is mighty hard to beat that kind of spirit. Alexander's attitude reflects the adoration of every member of the team toward Morrison. The Phillies can not be accused of lack of heart. That club is going to stick till the last dog is hung. The National league will have quite as lively a time this month as the American. People who bet that Tris Speaker Cards Palming W L Books, No D. N. Box 40 NEWARK, MO. Brewers and Strictly Pure New Phones: INDIANAP would outbat Ty Cobb this season have begun to feel like hedging. The team is creeping up slowly. The Texan. I know Ty pretty well, and I dot not believe there is another playoff game there. There's a fellow absolutely without nerves. Just watch him. He'll go on to win. The game going to be done it will be done by Tris. A couple of seasons ago Joe Jackson and I were now. The campaign was quite far advanced. Ty one afternoon met Joe as he were going on the field in Cleveland. "Well, how does it feel to be leading back here?" You countered know, Joe kidded back, and I'm glad you are. "Well, I'm glad you're out there," counterted T. "But you better look "Oh, I guess my lead is safe enough," said Jackson. "You don't say," said Cobb. "Come to think of it, maybe so. But look here, Joe. What's the matter with you when the championship is over, that batting championship. I'll bet you $600 that I'll have my championship when the season is over. Are you game?" Jackson wouldn't bet. And Cobb caught him. You see, the nerve of Ty awed Jackson. Joe failed to get a hit that afternoon while Cobb laced out. You see, the occasion that the two passed each other Ty kept offering the bet. He got Jackson's goat. Great chance—Christy Mathewson in Indianapolis News. COLORED BOYS MAKE FAIR SHOWING IN NATIONAL CHAM PIONSHIPS—ROY MORSE LOSES SPRINT TITLE. The National A. A. U.

Jones of the Alpha P. C. C., took second place in the running broad jump. Lionel LaBeet, the Salem-Crescents' star jumper placed fourth in the hop, step and jump. The final heat of the 220-yard run turned up to be the most exciting event of the day because of the hard fought battle throughout between the Locors of the nation. A. and two Colored contestants namely, Arthus B. Reed, Gladiator A., Boston, and Peter J. White, Salem Crescent A. C.

At the conclusion of the exercises a dress parade of the uniform rank of both men and women was held. Haggard was the effect of the day. DELTA METROPOLIS By Lee A.

The National Negro Business League is here to stay. It is it hoped Kansas City does not feel "over-conventionized." Thieves invariably fall out over the division of the "swag." Chattanooga, 1917. Put this on your memorandum books for next August. A correspondent, said to be perfectly sane, suggests a five and ten-cent butcher shop. Why not? The National Negro Business League will hold up the hands of its new president, the Hon. J. C. Napier. The race wants no more "expositions" of the type of the Richmond flasco, fathered by Giles B. Jackson. The alert Washington Bee hasn't found it necessary to "defend" the Hon. Ralph Wiley Tyler for two whole weeks. There is a good job in sight as assistant superintendent in charge of the Colored schools of Washington—for the right man. Naturally, the National Negro Press Association is the best-advertised of the adjuncts to the National Negro Business League. A grouch, who writes things for a Louisville paper, rises to warn ardent swains against the tribe of affinities. He has those charmers do not make good cooks. Advertise your wares, whatever they may. The world is curious to know what kind of a hand you hold in the game of life. It is pretty safe to suspect that a writer who hides his identity is up something crooked—or at least "shady." The one-man man in the open. Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback is the "race's grand old man"—the last of the "Old Guard" that made reconstruction a living force. Long may he wave. If the once-famous "Black Cabinet"愈经 back, it will be revised out of all recognition and again in the flesh, but its personnel will be radically changed. Mark that! The Baltimore & Ohio railroad is said to have 8,400 Colored men in its employ, 17 are section foremen, seven are stenographers, and one is chief clerk of relief department and legal bureau. Such a well-informed journal as the New York Age should know that the "J" in the name of Mr. Napier stands for "James" and not "John" Let's on the record straight as we go along. An effort is being made by the Colored citizens of Topeka, Kansas, to frown down upon any member of the race who fails to employ a Colored unarmed man when death enters a Colored household. Mrs. Sarah G. Jones, for years an efficient teacher in the public schools of Cincinnati, O., is conducting an informing department in the Fraternal Monitor, Cincinnati, under the caption "Of interest to Women." For the information of the esteemed Houston (Texas) Observer, the "R" in our name stands for "Richard"—not Ralph, as Brer Nickerson insists upon anything. Most of our friends are satisfied to dub us "R. W.—and let it get at that. Wake up—and send a dollar to your local committee in charge of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. If you have no local committee, send contribution, in any amount, large or small, direct to Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. The Journal that exposes shams, fakes, hypocrites and grafters is on solid ground. He may lose a dirty dollar here and there, but he will be alive and on the job when the pretender has been forced to the wall by an outraged public sentiment. Eighty-five years ago in August Nat Turner led the Negro slaves to revolt. Methods of reprisal have changed in the past century. The spirit of many resistance to tyranny is unchanged in the bosom of every young Negro who had red blood in his veins. News of the Nation's Metroplis (Concluded from Page One) Dayton, Ohio, were subjected to the unfair discrimination of meeting the prejudices so prevalent even in the past. The prejudices may be exposed to the fullest extent, and to this end I have dedicated my life. Men and women interested in justice for the race kindly send contributions to Allen's National News Bureau, 447洛 Avenue. Mrs. Frances Keyser Here. Mrs. Frances Keyser a member of the faculty of The Daytona Normal School formerly superintendant of The White Rose Home here is visiting in this city. Mrs. Keyser is one of the strong-armed section where she is now laboring she is doing much for the uplift of the young womanhood of the race. She will be remembered here for her fine work, in uplift and in the club movements. She is a graduate of the Hunter College one of the best known schools for the education of women in this country.
