Wildcat rumors have been floating up and down the community during the past week to the effect that Law School, a member of the faculty of the Howard University Law School, had been asked to provide information such that request. The reason given by those responsible for the rumor is that the activity of Mr. Cobb during the last week of the semester should be observed by the officers of an educational institution supported largely by public funds, appropriating the funds to democratic Congress and national administration. It was stated that the anti-Wilson literature circle of the Republican National Committee was called to the attention of Secretrate through him to the Secretary of the Interior. Department to which Howard University is responsible is then brought to attention of President Newman, as the story goes, conferred with Doans, a legislative demand for it is a pity to spoil so interesting a battle by bringing to bear such cold judgments as to allow him to discuss at length a cocktail-ball "frame-up". Mr. Sobb, in juju to his friends, was prevailed upon to mentor that his resignation has been denied for, and that he has no intention of resigning. He informed the informant, though elected director in the Howard Law School, his contract does not become of force until he is assigned period, and he was not considered an active member of the faculty—and therefore not subject to any etiquette. The further whisper that he had been certified for salary unearned during a month of the campaign falls to him, and that he was not on the pay roll of the University and could not be on any assignment, a wink at that if the author of the rumor can be located, somebody about his or her color will stand an excellent chance of serving another 7.

Tess of the Municipal Court of the Municipality before Friday night before a mass meeting of colored laborers, called for the organization of workers in the O Street Armory, the hosts of the occasion were the members of the Union and Building Laborers' Union, the amount and time of the work that might accomplish through a multiplication of such organizations of colored workers in the Army, grateful occupations in which our people find employment. Under proper leadership the youth benefit themselves in immediate and far more than solve the economic problems of the race and nation. Hawkins, attorney for Local No. 45, provided in a telegram speech shown from census figures there are about 20,000 common laborers of the District who would be eligible for membership in an organization such as is proposed. He suggested the establishment by Local No. 45, employment once insurance company assistance was granted the employees here to make provision for laborers incurred in the pursuance of their duties. Announcement was made that a campaign would be inaugurated at the District membership meeting by Congress of a bill compelling employees here to make provision for laborers incurred in the pursuance of their duties. fluence other lines of labor will be brought together. It is understood that he will be presented with the American Federation of Labor, in response to a cordial invitation from his representatives in that great body. Mr. Hawkins is doing a wonderful work here for the classes of the race intelligent and unselfish leadership. Miss Burroughs Wins Her Case. How About a Military Department at Howard? There are many who would like to see a military department established because of the long been in vogue at Wilberford under the instruction of an officer of the regular army, the short time ago when the institution of college presidents, who discussed at length the feasibility of a military department, and the majority favored the idea. They felt that national preparedness for intelligent military duty was a challenge, and that order, discipline and manly courage would be promoted by a sys- tem of study and practice. Harvard University will be the first of the great schools to inaugurate this movement. The friends of the military department and the faculty of our race for the higher training should have a military department, and the faculty are inclined to favor it. What the country at large think of the plan? Howard is largely sustained by the fact that the training will be influenced most by those who pay the bills. Washington would be instructed by frank expression from the nation on this important subject. The Colored Hotel Project. The Douglass Hotel Company, headed by Bert T. Amos and Frank M. Thyssen, has not despaired of acquiring by the hotel colored patrons. That there is a crying need for such accommodations is the ruin Newport will not put up the money for it. Some enterprising white corporation, with faith in the possibility and place the institution under colored management, just as the Baltimorean Howard theatre. If a building is to be bought and altered to suit hotel needs, the Franklin and the Lowell apartments, and the T and U streets, stand out as favorable propositions. The suggestion of purchase is the Douglass Hotel Company purchase, the other of these properties and remodel it in first-class style, and have it by March 4. With satisfactory apartments, restaurant, bar, club quarters and other modern facilities, under ex-tenancy, would be a gold mine from the start.

The feeling is that the organization of the Negro level and fostered by T. Wallace Swann is all right, provided the unions "ote" that the organization of the Negro has heretofore fought shy of organized labor because organized labor has been antagonistic toward the Negro. The organization of that of organized labor is on the level, for every step the American Federation of Labor takes toward the Negro, it must see what we shall see. We shall see what we shall see. . . . Word comes that when the army is further increased Lieut.-Col.

E. church will be formally dedicated. The building and parsonage will be about $10,000. Impressive ceremonies will mark the dedication, and Bishop Phillips, the widely known W. H.

Howard, the pastor, states the occasion of large congregations will attend the services. Bishop Phillips has recently returned from California, Arizona, Kentucky and elsewhere, and is now leading annual conferences. The reports of the preachers indicate that the churches in the Fourth Episcopal District are wide-sawake and progressively more financial in point of view. The Methodist brethren are highly enthusiastic in their assertions that the annual conferences are more effective and the most harmonious, brotherly and successful ever presided over by Bishop Phillips. They refer in glowing terms to love and peace, and to confidence for their love and confidence, independent leader, not only by his dig- trict in particular, but also by the C. M. E. church in general.

BETTER SCHOOLS FOR THE MOUND CITY. The Passage of the $3,000,000 St. Louis Bond Issue for the Public Schools, Will Probably Increase School Facilities in the Colored District. (By J. M. Batchman, Staff Correspondent.) ST. LOUIS, Mo. Dec. 2.—The passage of the $3,000,000 bond issue to the $30,000,000 bond issue caused a good deal of comment as to the measures which will be taken to alleviate the present crowded condition of the city, and children has been the need for more room, and in some sections better buildings, that it patient something ought to be done, and in another colored wards gave their strongest support to the movement for children to be treated more tendered day after day, minding their parents of the importance of voting for the bond proposition. So the city has made such these wards returned such strong majorities for the bonds, that they were not noticed by the press notices of the most flattering city, by the leading papers of the city. Our people take a great deal of pleasure in the city affords them, and without regard as to the merits of the mixed or separate school issue, the same amount of light in this city, by far, than in the majority of other large cities where a different system is in vogue. Rather than be secured by any school system to be a success has been obtained by the people in city beyond any question of doubt. Those best in a position to know, seem to think that two new colored wards have been built in pils. The consensus of opinion is, that one of these will be located in north St. Louis, and the other in Elkton, which is in reality the West End, has grown in population rapidly; some of the people who desire to avoid the more congested sections of the city for better living conditions, and the other is the natural all round expansion of the city. What is known as the Cottage Avenue Model school is a present housed in nine portable buildings and structures are frame and accommodate about five hundred little fellows who are under the direct supervision of those students who expect to make teaching a profession. Conditions here are far from satisfactory. The one of date in a modern school ends in many ways fail to properly serve the purpose for which they were intended. Even the home of a kindergarten where some stray little fellows are most imposing structure, is beginning to show a crowded condition and present the home of a kindergarten where some stray little fellows are most crowded together in the garage. Perhaps St. Louis could use a third school to take care of some of the overflow from Bannaker and L'Overture, where approximately two thousand attend the two schools and the kindergarten will. School miles. However, if this third school is not given the colored people of the city, there is every reason to believe the other two will be cheap investment for any community, and St. Louis has never been stingy in education.

LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 24—Father Brennan predicts that a comet, outclassing in size and brightness all those leys, is speeding toward the sun at the approximate rate of 1,134,246 miles a day. The comet is a thing of the past, but the next winter's spring, probably remaining visible for three months. It will be at its best in June. A new member of the solar system will be larger than Halley's comet, which held the center of the stellar stage in 1911, much to the consternation of the astronomers. It will be covered in astronomic lore. Father Brennan suggests Perihelion is the planet's closest approach to the sun. When it approaches 43,000,000 miles distant, and it was listed by Dr. Wolf as Comet B. 1916 and will go down in history as Wolf's comet, it will have a period of fifty after 1917—you might see it again in 1967.

THE TRIANGLE OF SELF. Dr. C. V. Roman, addressing a class of Sunday School teachers not long ago, said, "Whenever you see two men talking there are really six men in the dialogue. Every man has three personalities or selves—the man HE thinks he is, the man the OTHER fellow thinks he is, and the man he REALLY is." Let's examine the triangle of self or the three selves just a little. What a man thinks HE is: Every man has an opinion of himself. Every fellow thinks he is something. Very often the fellow who is NOTHING comes under the head. Self-respect is a great thing. A fellow cannot get along well without it, and yet a man must be able to respect himself most highly and yet not be selfish. A man is no higher than his personality. A man's thoughts of himself may be perfectly legitimate. He has a right to "size up" himself. He ought to seek a mirror every day and look for defects—one defect being his tendency to over-estimate or undervalue himself. Many people thing more of themselves than they should. It is amazing and astounding how many people are over-estimated in their own scales or balances. They don't be half so tall when measured by another yard-stick, nor are they half so heavy when sized up by the true standard of life's measures and weights. Examine the number of people engaged in the professions and trades. See how many misfits. There are good auctioneers posing as preachers; there are many good blacksmiths trying to be dentists; and hundreds of soda water dispensers trying to "get by" as pharmacists. "But they passed the examination," you say. But did you ever stop to think that an examination is only the theory—out here in the arena of Hard-knocks and the Difficult-tasks it takes more than theory to win out. A fellow may know a thing and yet not know what to do with it. A good theist is not always a good practitioner. There are many young men who in an examination made only fifty per cent, who are better men than scores of others who made eighty to ninety. A assessor examination is nothing but an open door to opportunity's all. The landslides may any further in the building of supersite than the threshold of this open door. But I was saying that a man often thinks too highly of himself. It is also true that a man may think less of himself than he should. A man's estimate of himself may be too low. There are bootblacks today who might be cashiers in banks, and I have known cart drivers to possess the very quintessence of the favored gifts and graces. I once met a girl who talked to me of Grecian and Roman mythology, and recited to my great delight the interesting narrative of ancient history with an ease and grace that wonderfully entranced me. But alas! she lived down in an alley in the red light district and was leading a life of shame. What did that girl think of herself! What the OTHER FELLOW thinks of you! Here's another side of the triangle. "No man ever can really SEE another; we are all invisible personalities and we signal to one another by words, looks and actions." Sometimes a fellow hangs out the wrong signals. A man never is what the other fellow thinks he is. He is either over-estimated or under-estimated. Many men have been kept in the background because nearly every body THOUGHT they should be there, and many miserable failures have resulted because men have been placed in the front ranks when they should have been bringing up the rear. A man may have in bank $15,000 and be rated by most people at $15.00. A man may be rated at $2,000 and may not be worth 20 cents. The way the world generally judges an article is by its label and labels may not always attest the value of the goods. I knew a boy once who bought six charroots for ten cents, removed the covers and around each charroot he placed an El Toro (5c. cigar) band. His idea was to make the fellows believe that he was smoking good 5c cigars. He hung out the label and fooled everybody but the fellow who saw him do it and himself. You can't judge an article by the wrapper all the time. And the individual who wraps himself in a false label will have it pulled off when he least expects. * * * * The story is told of a young man who became suddenly smitten with a woman who seemed an angel in beauty, and perfection in form. He pressed his suit to an immediate marriage. But after the wedding festivities were over, in the quiet of their apartments, the lady removed a wig from her bald head, lifted two bridges of false teeth from her mouth, placed a cork leg to one side of the table, piled up pads and trimmings on a chair and there in her real form she APPEARED. The story goes (so did the man) that he DISAPPEARED. Blame him? No my friend, you are not what people think you are. They judge you and misjudge you. Either one is bad. Follow a man home. Follow a woman home. See them with the ties and silk shirts, the paints and powders—see them with pads and wigs, the “airs” and “put-one” removed. They are different creatures. Haven’t you seen them? Follow the man in overalls home. Follow the woman in gingham dress and calico apron home. You may be surprised. Yes, one side of the triangle of self is what PEOPLE think you are. The third and last side of the triangle is—What you REALLY are. A man is his thoughts—that’s all. His thoughts form his ideals. To reach his ideals he forms habits. Habits are his daily act or strivings. A man’s acts are links in the character chain. Character is what he is. He may talk ever so loudly and preach ever so eloquently, but like a Fiver he never rises above his source, and his source is his ideal. Whatever estimate he places upon life and its duties; whatever he thinks is the best thing in the world, he will strive for that. Some men judge all of life by the dollar. With him character is valued in dollars and cents. Nothing is greater than wealth to him. He is no more than a money getter it matters not what he may appear to be. Some people’s highest idea of life is to eat, drink and be merry—nothing else. To them life is mere physical pleasure. They are pleasure seekers and nothing more. Some people seek honor and position, and subordinate everything that is their ideal. Some people belive in SERVICE. Their highest ambition is to work so well that sacrificing that others may be happy, all the time playing Santa Claus that Christmas may be every day in the year for somebody. That’s their ideal. That is what they are. A men is HIS MIND—HIS SOUL, HIS VISION, HIS IDEAL—HIMSELF Gantt Quino School, Nashville, Tenn. FILES SUIT FOR $10,000, OTHERS CONTEMPLATED, ELECTION &EFTERMATH TO BE WARM. voters. All this information will be held before the proper authorities and will form the basis for further suits. The first of series of suits growing out of irregularities in the Negro community in New York, Friday by Henry Lucas, of 309 Lesperance street. It was directed against Breckinridgeidge City, President of the Democratic City Committee of the Eighth Ward, and Theodore Sandmann, Democratic challenger. He was arrested and presented the charges and asks damages to the amount of $10,000. Lucas in his petition alleges that he was arrested and then present the charges in the Sandmann place, the instance of Sandmann, who charged him with having a criminal record that would bar him from voting. It is stated that the defendants "unlawfully, wickedly, falsely, wilfully and maliciously, inappropriate to oppose, plaintiff and deprive him of his liberty, and to bring shame and disgrace upon him, caused him to be arrested and forcibly taken into custody." Lucas was kept in a cell for two and a half hours before he obtained bond. When he appeared in the court of Criminal Correction, November 10th, to answer any charge that might be brought against him, he was discharged without trial. He had been accused at the galling place of having been sent to the penitentiary in 1906. He claims he was never arrested for any cause previous to his arrest and so severe of other Colored men who were arrested as they appeared to vote made affidavits that they were never arrested and were then allowed to vote. These were included in the lists of fraudulent --- NEGROES ACCUSED OF UNCOM- MITTED CRIMES. (By J. M. Hatchman, Staff Correspondent.) ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 24—During the past few weeks, with the approach of the bandit erm, every large city reports crimes without number, mostly holdsups, pursue snatching or house burglary, too many cases in which the perpetrator is unknown quotes the victim as saying that the criminal is assigned to back up the belief many of these crimes are committed by Colored men; the statements are usually assigned to back up the belief for public consumption to make enemies for the race on their face. They remain unchallenged, either because of the police or because our press gives more attention to the social doings of Mr. and Mrs. So and So, than to the factors we are of vital importance to racial defense. During the past week alone there have been no less than a dozen of them who have been Colored men, yet none of them have given enough attention by the reporters of the white papers to assign any of them to Colored men, yet none of them have reported as the probable guilty parties; this is not a special indictment of the daily papers of this city, as the Colored man in all matters than the average, the fact remains that this thing is done week in and week out, and no protest arises as a result. Can no countenance be given to the fact that we may claim only those criminals who are actually our own! A little attention to incidents of this kind has been given to the public in its proper attitude toward the Colored man. When reports of this character go on from week to week, the public is becoming in deeming influence at work which increases our enemies and establishes barriers which will sooner or later have to be overcome. The public is much more likely to commend than to commend us for a virtue, and it would be well for us to give as much attention as possible to keep detrimental influences from placing us at a disadvantage. --- AUTOMOBILE THIEF ARRESTED. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 24—Frank Drew, a laborer, was arrested last week after driving an automobile belonging to J. W. Carpenter, of 4167 Morgan street. The questioned said that he and four other youths had taken half a dozen machines in the last month and used them to ride, afterwards deserting them. THE HAWAIIAN HAIR PREPARATIONS WILL SATISFY.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, DEC. 2, 1916. The rabbits are being stirred up as never before; the high price of food leaves nothing untouched. Don't lay all of the stress on the voting privilege. The solid South came in just that way. We are without many other privileges of which we say nothing. Bear in mind that a constitutional convention for the state of Indiana is proposed. If we hold voting to be a sort of religion, regardless of issues, it may dawn on those prospective lawmakers to set limitations about us. That diet squad which is showing us how to eat and grow fat on forty cents a day does not care to feature the cost of that expert cooking for those carefully selected and prepared menus. And it may not be the purpose to do more than consider the cost of the raw material. If this be true we can't see the real reason for the tryout. The cook that can do all of those menu stunts is worth two dollars a day of anybody's money. There are millions of contented Negroes in the South. They are not disturbed by the efforts of a few thousands to have it appear that they live in an inferno. Many of these have money, own estates and everything else known to civilization. They can go where they will, yet we do not hear that they are eager to abandon their homes. Every considerable community of Negroes has a surface class, and who work, but they spend their earnings as fast as they are made. Indianapolis in this respect is no better than the South. We have Negroes here who live up every cent they make. They have nothing for a rainy day. They are the kind who complain when the pinch comes. They are not shiftless in the sense that they will not work; they will not save. Whatever the result of the Thomas Campbell suit against the chief of police of this city and two police sergeants, charged with keeping him from registering his name in order to vote, a good wholesome lesson has followed. Those officials and other men will be careful that they do nothing to intimidate the voters in the future. In any event we must not be carried off of our feet; we mean the Colored people. There has already been evidence that they hold the voting dearer than any other privilege. And in a way this is right, since it implies the right of self-government. We are afraid that not much more than a few other rather viewing it as something above everything else, even religion, and which to be without is a sign of disgrace. We wish white men to be eager to stand up for the citizens rights, not merely a part of them, not political alone, the mere right to cast a ballot, for everything that goes with citizenship. Until we get such a condition we are none too sanguine about what is in store for us. Nothing much is being said about Negroes seeking the farms during these industrial waves. We are rapidly learning to fight shy of the fields even in our advice. It may be a distasteful subject, all right, but it belongs with our race as it belongs to other races. Where we can be really free and independent is scorned as a place of pestilence. The crowded cities with their shorn privileges for Negroes are pointed to because the dear race needs the comforts and delights immediately, while the white brother toils in the garden that they may eat. We are actually teaching our children by precept and example that the farm is no place for ladies and gentlemen; and here they come, wholesale, helper sketcher to the big towns to reinforce those who are living on "husks" to join the shadow parade, without that substance which puts the man in manhood. Let us preach the whole doctrine of industrialism, not merely the quick route 16 money. Rest assured that no good and enduring thing comes without the price. The earth is the foundation of the prosperity of any people. The Negroes should know by this time that their troubles are not political so much as they are otherwise. This is especially so in Indianapolis and in the state. While we wish the citizen's privileges in all respects, let us not think to lay all the streets on the suffrage. Let us bear in mind that we are hindered vastly more in other respects than in voting. As to that our citizenship is quite ideal. Let us not make a mountain out a motehill. We know very well where we are denied right and left, and nothing much is said of it. The agencies that are pushing for justice for Thomas Campbell, the Negro who is suing the chief of police and two police sergeants, charging them with keeping him from registering so that he might vote, are to be thanked for their effort, to be rewarded for their hardness of the verdict. Bear in mind that the Negroes could institute a thousand suits every day, and when there would not, perhaps, be hands so ready to lay hold. Bear in mind that politics is not a religion; the indulgence is not a more blessed privilege than others. Let us have the flat-footed truth; it will make us free. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSIRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER JACK TROTTER'S NEW YORK NOTES OF STAGE AND SPORT Tabor and Green are on Loew time. They closed at the Prospect theatre in the Bronx last Sunday night, and opened on last Monday at Loew's Avenue B theatre. The team is now at the Palace, in Hazleton. Lulu Coates' Crackerjacks played the first half at the Kendzie theatre, in Chicago, Ill. * "Eight Black Dots" are playing this week in the Virginian theatre, in Kenosha, Tenn. "Ten Dark Knights" are in Springfield, Mass., playing at Loew's Plaza theatre. Thos. Bell, ventriolquist and impersonator, who has just ended a very successful season with J. C. O'Brien's Georgia Minstrels, will be seen at the New Lincoln theatre, in Baltimore, Md., weeks of December 4 and 11, Philadelphia, Pa., and New York City, to follow. * * * * Whitman Sisters and their whirlwind picks are still packing them in at the New Lincoln theatre. * * * * Frank Montgomery's "frolicsome follies" had a big week at the big Lombard street theatre. * * * * The Quality Amusement Co. are building a new theatre in Philadelphia. Its name will be "The Lafayette." * * * * Brown & DeMont, with company of players, after a successful long run at the New Lincoln theatre, departed for Philadelphia, in which city they will present a series of "playlets" at Gibson's Standard theatre. * * * * The Almo girls held their first annual reception and dance on last Friday evening at St. Mark's hall. It was a flush success. * * * * O, yes! This copy will reach the press just four days before Thanksgiving, and will be published just two days after, so we're sunk right in the middle. But we are going to hope that— You had an awful healthy appetite for the big roasts and things—and That you had an 'oer flowing purse with which to appease it. Also— That you had a fine Thanksgiving sermon and a thorough enjoyment of it. And— That you performed some worthy deeds during that day and felt the better for having done them. And— That you had a goodly share of the good things that the Thanksgiving harvest always brings. One of the big metropolis' most commendable places in which to dine is the Lafayette dining room, operated under the proprietorship of Mr. George F. Michaels. It is situated on West 132d street in an annex building of the Lafayette theatre, and is just a hefty whisper east of the great promenade of Seventh avenue. In this cozy little eating palace, the entertainment department is reigned over by one of New York's biggest entertainment favorites, Miss Edna Green. She is the embodiment of "life, good cheer and sweet singing." Not to say anything of her piano playing for this ever-milking young lady doubles in singing and piano playing to the tuneful enjoyment of that dining room's large patronage. James Reese, Europe's novelty band of ten men, played a successful engagement at Keith's Harlem Opera House, last week. Really, we are not exactly the first scribe to rave about the Whitman Sisters and Baby Alice. William "Babe" Townsend, the Quality Amusement company's energetic young stage manager, will some day sign his name above the very big title of director if he keeps on going with the same speed that he has displayed during the past few weeks. The thing— Which brings Mr. Townsend before our notice at this time was his recent rearrangement of certain scenes in "45 Minutes From Broadway," that shaped out even more "snap and liveliness" than the production had known during the week previous. One of his changes— Which is uppermost in our mind, is the exceptionally pretty song number entitled "When You're Lonesome For the One You Love," which was inserted by Mr. Townsend in the place of a then already fairly popular number. But there is lots and lots of real poetry and catchy tuneful melody in the number inserted, which is, by the way, from the pens of those successful and popular song composers DeKoven Thompson and Joseph Grey, so we are not going to be really surprised by any of the long list of improvements that this young and clear visioned stage manager may bring about in the future. * * * As we remarked some time ago, "Invest your money in the business of producing colored moving pictures, young man." Miss Jennie Scheper, formerly one of the leading principals in the late J. Luebria Hill's "Dark Town Folies," is now at the head of a successful business enterprise in London, England. * * * Mr. William C. Elkins, who was for many seasons connected with the great William & Walker company as chorus director, is now engaged in music entertainment business. Karle B. Cooke's Original Society Orchestra is filling dates in prominent hotels in and around Greater New York. "After Tonight" is William H. Farrell's latest offering in the realm of original songs, and he promises another new one for the coming holiday season. This actor revealed to the New York theatre-going public some of the strongest and most forceful acting in last week's play, "The Lion and the Mouse," which created such big success at the Lafayette theatre, that has ever before been shown by him. We were of the opinion that when he portrayed "Big Jim Garrity" a few months back, that he had then stepped upon his portion of success. But when he came back a few Weeks later as the "hose politician" in "The Man of the Hour" and reared himself into the hearts of his audiences day after day, we lifted out "Hat to Kirkpatrick, the truly versatile artist. You remember that we told you then that this man as an actor was not a mere actor." In this last production, "The Lion and the Mouse" he came through just as hard as he did in the previous characters which he assumed. While we really expected nothing better than a transplanted edition of one of his previous portrayals, he brought to us a big brand new type. A type which was at once forceful but with a spark of subtleness commanding, but human, dominering, but dignified. He was as far from affecting either of his former character successes, as a young race horse is from a mule. But he made this new character of John Ryder, the lion, bigger and more powerful than anything else he has ever done. ANDREW TRIBBLE GIVES "LIE" TO LETTER PUBLISHED IN LAST WEEK'S ISSUE OF THE FREEMAN. Mr. Andrew Tribble, who has been playing this city for two weeks past with Mr. William Stout as his team mate, took strong exception to the letter printed in The Freeman's issue of November 18, in which some anonymous person sent in accusing him of appropriating property belonging to members of the company of which he was the head, in Washington, D. C., branding the letter to be a manufactured "lie" and of the worst type. Mr. Tribble when seen in his dressing room at the New Lincoln theatre, in this city, stated that while it was true that he was connected with an act which played at the Fairyland and the Mid City theatres in Washington, D. C., for one week each, that it is not true that he made away either with money or wearing apparel which did not belong to him. He further stated that the company of people which he formed into an act were stranded members of the Joe Simms company, and that after he put the act together and secured for it the two weeks work at the above mentioned theatres, each one of the members promptly started drawing accounts which ate up the entire salaries that they were being paid for services. Mr. Tribble, said in reference to Miss Tillie Cottman's dress, that as far as he is aware or knows of that lady's apparel is still hanging where she claims that she left it. As to Mr. Fred Hart's overcoat, Mr. Tribble states that Hart himself knows that he willing lent to Mr. William Stout (Tribble's Chadwick & Taylor are at the Halsey theatre, in Brooklyn, N. Y.

Hayes, America's brilliant colored tenor, has prepared a program which shows the remarkable development of the Negro in music, starting with the native African tunes and tracing its course through the American period to the present. Of the many immortal authors whose works are being so ably interpreted by Mr. Hayes, the works of our own great colored composers, S. Coleridge Taylor, H. T. Burleigh, Will Marion Cook and J. Rosamond Johnson, are too included. Of Mr. Hayes, we will publish an article in the special Christmas number, issued on December 23d, which will be both striking and comprehensive of his wonderful work as the race's foremost tenor. Mr. Jesse A. Shipp, the race's greatest playwright, has seen fit to revive colored minstrels in this city, and has gathered about him in the effort to make this revival a stupendous and noteworthy one, the very best theatrical people obtainable. It is being quietly rumored around that the main reason for the unusual activities in assembling so many professional people by Mr. Shipp, is that the big hotels and restaurants in this city anticipate a strike among the musicians and entertainers now in their employ, and in order to overcome such should it take place, they have voluntarily called upon Mr. Shipp to help them out.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW By Sylvester Russell THE PRINCE OF HAYTI OPENS AT THE GRAND THEATER BUT WITHDRAWS AFTER THE FIRST PERFORMANCE.—BRADFORD & JEANETTE VICTIMS OF PRE- CARIOUS CONTRITION. Bradford is no fool. He has a lot of big ignorant swell-headed vaudeville stars skimmed to death on business in the city, and on the management he showed me his roll and told me he was playing safe. When he offered in Cleveland, that he and his wife would leave immediately for Philadelphia. Booking agents, stage managers and our lords of lords often offer us sympathy than managers as we evident in this case. Billy King was not present to the show and when seen on the street reviewing the show in the burlesque class, Mr. Bradford was in his element and created magnificently and played her part well. Others who made good were Buddy Brown, Leon Roohs, Herale Jackson, Billy Starks, Sam McCallen and Michelle Chorus were all well sung, the costumes were fair and the second act was handsomely gifted. Feyton with his nicely dressed support team, Philip Giles, a lanky dancing comedian, who made a hit in the alto voice, was retained by including the Rajhs, which was put on after the first performance. The last half of last week had Brooks & Daly both voice, both remained. The white acts were the Three Flying Lords; good high trapse swingers; Feary & both clever performers in a comedy.

The burning of the mortgage on the home of Great Lakes Lodge of Elks No. 43 took place on Friday evening, and the fire was extinguished by a banquet of the most elaborate kind, consisting of everything in course, that could be mentioned, including champagne. Speches were given by R. B. Bradley and others. Dr. Bibbs had the pleasure of burning the mortgage under the flashlight, a picture seen never to be forgotten. J. Sneed and T. R. B. Bradley were the arrangement committee. . . . Dunbars Tennessee Ten opened Monday at the Majestic theater. The rossier, S. Thompson, comedian, John Mobley, Sam Burns, Blaine Gateen, Earl Walton, Eugene Holland, Ed Williams, Lula Walton and Louise Cook.

Kid Thomas and Al Bailey arrived in the city last week from the Singers Midgets Revue in vaudeville and were warmly greeted by old friends. They open on the Western vaudeville time. Brooks & Bowen open at Proctor's theater, Albany, N. Y., December 4th. They will play the Palace theater. New York, the following week. It will be an engagement, and they are all colored act except Bert Williams who has ever played the Palace. Aaron Winfield Hoeny is writing a new act for next season. He will open at the Majestic theater. Hoeny is a scholarly actor and is the only white man who ever essayed an entire evening's recital in the works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar through a Lyric. --- Harry Baskin, the Jewish proprietor of the Little Palace, buffet will be out of the building candidate for Almanac of the second annual meeting of his own announcement. Mr. Baskin is popular in many ways. He even supposes much to consider. Newspaper people are least considered except in time of need when a free interest in the cause of the Jewish people is not own troubles, is expected. Other times insults and contempt is all the newspaper man gets. It is not Mr. Baskin's own problems, thinking of popular viewpoint of public situations. Welcome Peterson, who was shot in the back of a very young American Jew and the colored boy who was shot by the Greek boy who was shot by the Greek people of Chile the cruel evaluation of crime is not based upon the fact that a dry city will in any way remedy the city. It takes well informed detective work to solve it. The problem for the people to solve themselves before those people take possession of the city. It takes well informed detective work to solve it. The problem will probably be seen in my annual review in the Freeman Thomas issue, which will be miscellaneous. --- It will probably be of interest to performers and the public to note that I was withdrawn the suit against H. B. Miller in the program. The reason for withdrawal of the suit is based on the fact that George Smith, a colored trap drummer, was withdrawn from which resulted in Miller and I slapping each other in the face in the dark entrance of the old Monogram theater, where the actors in consideration interact with fact cordial relations with Mr. Miller and Manager Klein for the coming year: Hon. Richard T. Greener was a familiar figure on State street last Saturday, 28 years ago in New York, when I was a preparatory barber's devil before serving Congressman Walkers son as chairman of the chamber and most learner of the notorious science of the colored race and former secretary of the ex-Pres. Gen. U. S. T. H. McCormick and most graduate of Harvard University, first colored professor of Hampton college and former minister to Vladivostok, Eastern Servia, and a member of the faculty of Harvard University upon him by the Chinese government, had honored me by an invitation to dine with him.

MILLER'S MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY In Its Second Week at the Washing ton Theater, Indianapolis, Producing a Show of Superior Merit. One of the most meritorious shows seen in Colored playhouses in recent years is the Combination at the Washington theatre first half of this week. In fact it is one of the most show, which he produced in the East Coast, that the cast. The essential features are maintained, consequently the patrons worth it all, respects. Irwin C. Miller. Heretofe I have spoken of the genius of Mr. Miller as a showman. This week he gives more proof that he is a man of great shows of merit, the kind that will pass muster wherever seen. This little show, dubbed "Sultan for a Night," runs forty minutes and good proof "tip to tip," a show where the expectation is reached and surpassed. As the rightful Sultan Mr. Miller is of splendid appearance, a man of great talent, with his rich costuming and his fine bearing. His acting is superb, making the farce stand out, and intensely interesting and worthy of admiration. Esther Bigeou. This delightful lady performer was seen in splendid roles. As an oriental queen she showed grace, graces the heavens and expressions, all in all, so queenly that one naturally concluded that the darker races all in all, so queenly that every inch queens. A pretty throne was there, artistically done, wanting in nothing that made for realism. Behind her were the pinnings, drops and so forth. The attendants were costumed not only in the dark but also in lovefulness to the women and dignity to the men. Here were no half-lengths, no gloves, when the curtain rose on the first scene the audience was astounded at the magnificence. Miss Bigeau was great in her Honolulu dance, supported by Single Henry Jines. Jines, the spurious king, played a fitting part, and played it well. Really the comedy was nearly raised to the height of a drama. His entrance, gro STAGE NOTES. Zollie Ford and his wife Jennie are playing some white time in and around Chicago.

Brooks ad the Heart of tesque as he was, to the king's domains was proof of what the audience knew above described. He seemed so clearly out of his place that the audience roared with laughter. It was a compliment to Miller's stage craft, creating them contrasting pictures; that was all. The court customs were there, the courtroom was there, the floor, all of which was contrary to the comedian's experience, who had dropped on the island by accident, having a balloon. He was at the mercy of the winds. They deposited him there in the courtroom, and long years had been absent, and where they mourned the living Hector as the Hector dead. He took advantage of the opportunity to time in the affairs of men and which leads on to fortune. He was hailed as the long missing ruler, hence imputed to him. His discharge of the high court factotums was one of the features of his reign. He pulled good one of the facts of his reign. When he began urging the Secretary of War. He said that if threatened with war he would write a song, "I know I Got More Than My Share," received the applause it merited. The song and the singer's voice or a rendition that reached the hearts. Margaret Ricks. Miss Ricks gave a splendid song number with dance, supported by chorus and the band Dula. In her dance before the spurious king she was also pleasing when her tall handsome form was the poetry of Miss Whitby and Gulgessie. These two girls were interesting and in their work all through, dancing in the features of the women. They were also willowy, sinuous and tantalizing withal. George Baker. George Baker¹ in the role of "prophet," also played a successful part. He in fact was responsible for the induction and in the raising, and which seriously involved him. Robert L. Perry and Rastus Caloway appeared to advantage in a trio with Bigoe. The song and dance was Me the King and Armand which was the introduction of a splendid finale. Mr. Baker half of last act the Irwin C. Miller company did the very humorous sketch, "Hello, Mr. Green." The chair dance was a feature.

We have some have wasted during the bright summer, but we all bid adieu to the season of 1916. Our season opened on December 11th, a spark and span as a new-born babe. We are now about to usher the season of 1916 into eternity. Some of us have greatly missed them from our midst. May their souls rest in peace. Bright, balmy days of spring, of sunshine and of rain. While we were tolling far and near our labors to regain. Now autumn leaves have turned to gold. We need no more are green. We're traveling now towards our fold, Till Nineteen Seventen! Farewell, three seasons of circus year, We hope to meet again; God bless us all with hope and fear Till Nineteen Seventen! WILLIAM HALLBACK DEAD.

FRED POLLARD CANDIDATE FOR POSITION IN MERI- CAN FLEEVEN. (By BENNIE BUTLER.) When the curtain falls on the 1916 football season and Yale, Harvard, and Penn championship, then the experts and Walter Camp will begin selecting the candidates. The task, always difficult because he exceedingly so this year, because he is the most every eleven this season can boast, a candidate for the famous eleven of the camp and the work of the ex-eyes. Another interesting factor—one that adds color to the complexed situation is the number of Afro-American athletes in the American team. The list, of course, is the most interesting of Wesley, and lills out with Trigg of Syracuse (whose first name Ive forwards).

A powerful aggregation, would not be brown without this dark brown pigment, defended by Pollard, the language of the politician, is a 100 per cent football Ask Yale, Rutgers or any of Baskerville. Asole from football, little Fred is all-round athlete. Weighing less than a quarter of a heavy terror at anything he starts. An excellent boxer, a clever third base or shortstop, good at basketball, harder and dash man, Pollard. He was one of the several stars, namely Drew, Morse, Howe, Butler AN ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP. BROWN'S COLORED STAR ONE OF SHIFTIEST RUNNERS IN COUNTRY A Brown defeated both Yale and Harvard, and they did it so decisively that there is no come-back left for either of these teams. The major part of the honor for both victories goes to Freddie Pollard, a colored athlete, who played his first football at Lane Tech in Chicago. Pollard is considered by eastern experts as one of the shiftiest, slippiest back field runners in the country. This is Pollard's third year at Brown, and as he has only played two years of college football he will have another season. In the Yale game Pollard made a run of fifty-five yards for a touchdown through the entire Blue team. and La Beet, entered in the indoor national championship of last year, and won the championship events. True, he failed to place, but there's no disgrace in touching such stars as Loomis, Morse and Drew. Pollard's class as a hurdler and runner, together with his ruggedness and manliness, so much that his assets as a football player. Once loose in a broken field, he's like a frightened rabbit and can be a great tamer, tinging the line he's a master artist. Le Gore, Oliphant, Casey, Driggs and others may all be great backs, but if any of them are Brown they sure'll be going some. STIGALL AND COLEMAN AGREE TO CUT ROUNDS. Fight Only Five Rounds—Coleman Wanted to Fight Under Queen- berry Rules But Stigall Holds Out for New York Rules. (From the Indiana (Pa.) Gazette, Friday, Nov. 15.) Lyric Hall was crowded last evening to witness boxing bouts, the equal of the greatest contests in the state. The little unpleasantness developing from an argument over which rules should be followed led Zedst to the evening's entertainment. The main bout was between two of the leading colorful fighters of the county, who both have fought all over the world, and Stigall of Frostburg, Md., the light-heavy champion. The fight was a six-round bout, the end of the second round, with the rounds evenly matched and Stigall winning. The fighter under the Queensbury rules, said that he was under a disadvantage, but the bird fighter, and even break on clinches gave Stigall the advantage. Stigall, who is twelve pounds lighter than the man) was too big for him under the Queensbury rules and would only fight half hours' argument. Stigall accepted a proposition to fight three more rounds, two minutes to the round, and then some. The fight, without any exception, was fought in western Pennsylvania. Owing to the fact that both men thought the other was trying to take an ad The fight was so evenly matched through calls, although probably Coleman, in a six-round bout, could win. He was able to win by Stigall's inability to fight rough and tumble and with weight against him, but he will be more fights arranged later. If this sport is kept clean, it will be a new feature for Indiana. The attendance will be higher. FISK UNIVERSITY AND NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE TURN OUT ANOTHER TRAINED WORKER Miss Rosalie L.

Alberts faced fight up to the sixth and every fan was pleased, but satisfied at the action of the police, because they realized after the fifth time before Stigall would have floored him for the count. Albert's face was a target for Stigall, who shot in his face and most at will, and before the first round ended the Frederick fighter was bleeding profusely—Cumberland (Md.)
