Not an Important One Has Been Made to Date - President Assured Negroes New Positions Would be Opened! (By A. Staff Correspondent) Washington D. C. March 9—Althouled 100 New York Ave has been one of the worst admirers of Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock, and has his priests since the time he treated at William H. Taft's president's compartment, at it is well known at the capital city that the Negro voters threaten the country are not in the least pleased with the postmaster-general's plans up to date affecting Negro appointments. In fact the question is being raised. Is Hitchcock a Lily White? Postmaster General Hitchcock's main strength has been his ability to handle the Southern Republicans which was shown prior to the nomination of Mr. Taft at Chicago. Since that time he and the Republicans south of the Mason and Dixon's line have shown staunch friendship for each other in many ways. Particularly has the postmaster-general that he is a true friend of the southern white Republican. On the other hand, the Negro Republicans in the South have not been impressed that the postmaster-general is any too enthusiastic over their political welfare. Since the Taft administration many Negroes have been turned out of important offices, and the work is still going on. If this wholesale dismissal continues before long there will not be a Negro left to tell the tale, and the political devastation wrought will be more suggestive of the work of firebrand, radical Democrats of the Tillman Union type than that of a con- servative Republican administration President Taft Advised by Hitchcock. That President Taft listens to Post- master General Hitchcock relative to appointments is common knowledge, and it is traced that the postmaster-general's training with the "Lily Whites" of the South has not only caused him to be come a probably unconsciously, but has put President Taft himself in the light of being lukewarm on appoint- ing Negroes to important offices. With all fairness, your correspondent is in a position to state that after looking over the political situation, that even THE New York Age cannot any further make the Negroes throughout the country be aware that the present administration is favorable to the race unless President Taft has his advisers act accordingly. Although it is now a year since Presi- dent Taft took charge, the only news that he added to the Negro voters for perception that some member of the race has been removed from an important office in the South and that a white man has succeeded him. The Negro voters are not yet been acquainted with the institution that some white office holder has been removed and a Negro has been made his successor.

While it is thought that President Laft has been allly advised in some of his appointments, there are hundreds of Negroes who firmly believe as The Age has asserted time and time again, that before long quite a number of Negroes will have fallen lot to several choice political plums. O.E.D. CELEBRATION AT POUGHKEEPSIE Frederick Douglass Club Hold Notable Affairs—Many Speeches Lauding the Late Frederick Douglass. Special to The New York Age. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., March 8.—The banquet of the Frederick Douglass Club of this city, held on Fridays night, March 4, was a notable affair. This club, which was recently organized, was unable to hold the banquet at the time of Douglass' birthday, but the members were determined to pay even their belated tribute to the great Negro. Elaborate arrangements had been made for this affair. Old Hollows Hall was perhaps never more tastefully decorated and presented a charming sight. When cigars were lighted, John W. Harden, president of the club, arose, and in a few choice words introduced L. W Bolin as toastmaster. Mr Bolin stated that for years the colored people of Poughkeepsie had taken great pride in celebrating everything that white men were connected with, but were now going to turn over a new leaf and begin to celebrate some of the things black men had done and pay a tribute to those who were deserving and worthy. Gauss C. Bolin, the attorney and counsellor of this city, then eloquently responded to the test, "The Negro and the Law." In the course of his speech Mr Bolin said. Let no colored man to day have with discouragement in his heart with reference to the future of his race, for the steady unalterable trend is upward and no power on earth can stop it. Let every man encourage and teach his children to look beyond the annoyances and discouragements of to day and with determination and an unalterable purpose to keep their faces ever turned toward the bright sunlight of the future, while they strive with might and main to attain to the very highest and best citizenship civilization and standing the world knows anything about. If we will all do our part, and do it well then Frederick Douglass had not been born, lived, labored, suffered and died in vain. Rosseau Simmons was then introduced to speak to the toast, "Frederick Douglass." The committee in charge was composed of John W Harden chairman, Thomas Trapp, Thomas Stortis Gerald Brown, William Marlow, Jacob J Smith, Charles Hortman, secretary, and L W Bohn. Value of Negro's Vote Causes Argument. Special to The New York AoZ. Columbus, O. March is recording to testimony given in Judge Dallon's court in the case of Thomas J. Hickey and James Murphy, mainly indicted for assault with intent to maim and kill, an argument over the value of a colored man's vote as compared with a white man's was one of the issues which led to the trouble. Sum Fulton who was injured in the france in a school at front and Maple street, testified that he had remarked that his vote should be worth at least three times as much as a col red man's. Therefore he said Hickey and Murphy attacked him. The two were found guilty of assault and batteries PRESS CRITICISES SPEECH OF DUBOIS Recent Attack on Booker T. Washington Meets With Disfavor Says Attack on Educator in "Hub" City Arouses No Favorable Comment in the North. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Boston, Mass., March 9—Last week W.E.B. Dubois addressed a small and none too appreciative audience in this city, and, judging from his remarks, the subject of his talk was "Booker T. Washington. That the majority of his letters did not coincide with what he said was shown by the silence and frigid manner in which his utterances were received by the few present. Many comments have been made by the daily press of Boston relative to the attitude taken by Prof. Dubois toward Dr. Washington, and every paper instructed to consult the former for what is considered an act of indictment on his part. The Boston Post in particular criticized Prof. Dubois severely for his speech declaring that such an attack atonies no favorable comment in the North. Following is the Post editorial. It must be rather disquieting to the true friends of the Negro to see sign of a growing breach between Professor W I B Dubous and Booker I Washington. There should be no such estrangement, for each has his place in the development of the colored people and each tills it admirably. Dr Dubous the most eloquent and cultured of his race, trains the highest type of mind the Negro student presents at Atlanta University. Booker Washington, the most energetic man of affairs and ablest executive, builds up character and the power to do useful work. Why should their ideals conflict? "Dubous' recent attack on Washington as 'the political dictator of the Negro race' arouses no favorable comment in the North. The maker of Tuskegee has done too much for the genuine and practical advancement of his people to be set down as a boss." All of Dubous' coming has not imparted half so much of value. FAVOR EXPOSITION IN 1913 Business Men of Bristol Draw Up Resolution Endorsing the Plan to Hold Semi-Centennial Celebration—Believe Plan a Good One Special to The New York Age Bristol, London, March 9. At a large and enthusiastic meeting of the Negro Business League on this city held last Friday evening at the Lee Street Baptist Church, resolutions were passed favoring the holding of the proposed exposition in 1910. The resolution which was reed by Dr. L. N. Martin was as follows: Whereas we are pleased to the Nation of Bristol the League which met in this city last year Dr. Booker L. W. Martin entered the suggestion that the National Negro exposition be held somewhere on the United States coast to coincide with the ninth anniversary of the constitution of the NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1910. READ THE NEW YORK AGE A National Weekly of Large Circulation Appears on the news stands of Greater New York every Thursday Delivered to any address upon application Is the LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM of its kind Negro. This timely suggestion has been gaining in favor so much so that there has been introduced in the State and House of Representatives of the United States a point resolution providing for the appointment of a commission to decide as to the advisability of holding such an exposition. We believe that such a top would result in much good in that it would bring about a better condition of things in the relation of this complex people. it would furnish an opportunity for the Negroes of the country to get together, and the interchange of ideas would be helpful in the holding of the race, and at the same time create a more friendly feeling between the races. "Therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the Negroes of Bristol, Tenn-Va, in mass meeting assembled under the auspices of the Negro Business League, do heartily endorse the idea and pledge ourselves to render whatever assistance we can to bring it to pass. "Resolved further. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the city papers and to THE NEW YORK AGR, asking that they publish the same." NEW EXCISE TAX Collector Charles W. Anderson Busy Giving Attention to Corporations-Payments Staged Monday--One Hundred Firms Liable for Fines for Failure to File Reports. Charles W Anderson, United States Collector of Internal Revenue, and his big staff of assistants are being kept busy these days giving attention to corporations subject to the new excise tax in compliance with the provisions of the law enacted by Congress last August Monday was the first day for receiving the corporation tax, and the collector's office was crowded with representatives of firms desire to pay. From now until June the collector's office will receive the new excise tax. The sums to be received from firms will average from a few cents to thousands of dollars. Last week Collector Anderson listened to the excuses given by representatives of corporations which failed to file their excise tax reports before midnight of March 1. From now on all excuses will be referred by Collector Anderson to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington, D. C. Extension of time was made to a few corporations last week, but this was done only in the most urgent cases. In one instance the head of a large stock company was a patient in a hospital, where he recently had undergone an operation, and in another case the corporation's principal office had been destroyed by fire. Said Collector Anderson "Those who simply have neglected to comply with the law have not gained additional time. Explanation for their failure to get their reports in before midnight of March 1 will have to be made to the Treasury Department at Washington. All delinquents are subject to heavy fines, and if immunity is granted it will have to be done in Washington. "Reports have been filed in my office by Porto Rican corporations and by companies which got their charters in Maine California, Georgia the Philippine Islands, Hawaii and Alaska. There is no provision in the law which requires a corporation to file its report in the State or Territory where its charter was granted. If I have erred in my interpretation of the law no injustice has been done the corporations "Some of the corporations which did not do more than $5,000 of business during the last year have neglected to file reports because the law exempts the first $5,000 of the company's income in collecting the new excise tax. These companies, however, are required to submit their reports, and their failure to do so makes them subject to a fine of from $1,000 to $5,000." The filing of returns with false or fraudulent intent makes the corporation liable to a fine equal to the amount of the total assessment. The law requires that all reports shall be filed in the office of the collector of internal revenue and shall constitute public records and be open for the inspection of the public. In addition to a fine equal to the amount of the taxes assessed, a corporation official who signs a report with false or fraudulent intent can, according to the provisions of the law, be prosecuted for a misleadance, and, upon conviction, he subject to imprisonment not to exceed one year. Boerne Tex. March 8 — Gordon Davis who was a slave of Jefferson Davis President of the Confederacy, died in this city last week. He left the Davis family at the outbreak of the Civil War and was made a corporal in the Union Albany. NEGRO HEADS STREET DEPARTMENT Everett Spurlock Made Superintendent of Street Cleaning Members of the Race in Columbus Fear That Action of Mayor Will Bring About "Jim Crow" Methods. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Columbus, O., March 9—There was excitement galore among the politicians last Friday morning when Mayor Marshall called Superintendent of Street Cleaning Sylvester Condon into his office, asked for his resignation and shortly afterwards announced the appointment of Everett Spurlock, a Negro, to the position. The new Superintendent of Street Cleaning was formerly connected with the sheriff's office. He is said to have made an excellent record while deputy sheriff. It is the intention of Mayor Marshall to turn over the Street Cleaning Department to colored men, giving the positions colored voters pledged to work for the Marshall organization. In speaking of appointing a Negro as Superintendent of the Street Cleaning Department, Mayor Marshall said My colored constituents have been worrying me to death for positions, and I propose to find them places in the Street Cleaning Department which will be under the direction of Mr Spurlock, who is a colored man." From what Mr Marshall told Superintendent Condon, the Street Cleaning Department is to be dominated wholly by colored men and most, if not all, the appointments of Negro voters will be made in this department. This move on the part of Mayor Marshall has caused widespread dissatisfaction among the colored people, who object to "Jim Crow" methods in city administration, and above all to having members of their race assigned particularly to one department simply because of their color. They believe they are entitled to recognition wholly upon their citizenship and their ability and fitness for such civic positions as are available for them. The position pays $1,500 a year, and the superintendent will have a colored clerk at $900, besides many other places. TO MEET IN NEW YORK National Negro Bankers' Association Will Hold Annual Session, August 10-Effort Being Made to Make Meeting a Banner One. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Birmingham, Ala., March 8-W R Pettiford president of the National Negro Bankers Association, has issued a call notifying the members and colo- red bankers of the United States that the annual session of the organization will be held in New York City, August 16, one day prior to the convening of the National Negro Business League The letter The number of these institutions and the importance of their work make it highly necessary that we have a large well attended annual session in New York City on August 16, 1910, at 10 o'clock, the day prior to the meeting of the National Negro Business League. We find it impossible to have a satisfactory and instructive session during the meeting of the League, therefore it is hoped that every bank will be represented by its report if not by a delegate. We would be glad to show the aggregate of Negro banks of the country so as to have the same printed in the minutes of the League. Therefore we urge that every bank send in a statement to my address, 217 North 18th street, Birmingham, Ala. Should any bank not have a form of statement they will please give the amount of authorized capital stock, amount paid in, amount of deposits, amount of mortgage loans, discounts and amount of money handled during the year ending June 31, 1910, name of president and cashier, and the amount of real estate owned by the institution.

Special to The New York Age Washington, D.C., March 9—The Brownsville Court of Inquiry, which has been at work in this city and in Brownsville, Tex., since last April, has concluded the taking of oral testimony and now is considering the preparation of its report to Congress. The court made a special study of the 10,000 pages of testimony taken by the special Senate committee, and examined 123 of the 167 discharged members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. In addition, a personal inspection was made of the military post at Brownsville and the streets where the "shooting up" occurred in August, 1900, and the court examined several new witnesses residing there as to occurrences on that occasion. It is stated that this new evidence shows not only that the shooting was done by a small party of soldiers on the streets, but that at the same time considerable firing was done from the men's quarters inside the military post. Although not officially admitted, it is evident from the remarks made by members of that court that it has reached the general conclusion that some members of the Twenty-fifth Regiment "shot up" the town, and that none of the 167 men discharged by order of President Roosevelt has satisfied the court of his innocence to an extent sufficient to justify his enlistment in the army, with the accruing benefits provided by act of Congress authorizing the military investigation. Though none of the discharged men was able to establish his innocence to the satisfaction of the court, there was nothing in the mass of testimony to absolutely fasten guilt on a single member of the regiment. It is stated unofficially that the investigation has resulted in confirming previous findings that some men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry did the shooting, without, however, establishing the identity of the members of the shooting parties. NEGRO ELECTED TREASURER Charles D. Matthews Occupies Prominent Position With Firm Employing One Hundred Hands. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Coxsackie, N. Y., March 9—At the annual meeting of the Union Wheel and Manufacturing Company last week, W. C. Van Alstyne, W. R Church, James C Matthews, Charles D Matthews, E. J Miller and F. H. Sutherland were elected directors W. C. Van Alstyne is president F. H Sutherland, vice-president W. R Church, secretary, and Charles D Matthews, treasurer. This industry located here a year ago It employs about one hundred hands. Charles D Matthews, who was elected director and treasurer of the company, is the son of Judge Matthews of this city. The concern manufactures all kinds of polishing wheels, emery and corundum wheels, polishers and grinding machinery and polishers and plater's supplies. The company was established in 1875, and its plant is said to be the second largest of its kind in the United States. Slaves Get Part of Kron Property. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Chapel Hill, N.C. March 8—Thirty thousand dollars is the estimated value of the real estate left by Miss Adelaide Kron of Stanley County, who died cently, leaving an unsigned will. Unless heirs of the deceased are found within two years this estate will become the property of the University of North Carolina, according to the tate law on escheated property which reads. All real estate which shall accrue from escheats shall be vested in the University of North Carolina, and shall be appropriated to the use of that corporation." The will left unsigned by Miss Kron provided for the distribution of 200 acres of the 1,000-acre tract, and the home place to old family slaves. The balance was to go to the university. Unless heirs are found the whole estate will now resort to the university. The Kron property is situated along the Yokohama River, and is near the million dollar plant of the W. Reduction Company. Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS CENSUS TERMS OBJECTIONABLE Prof. Richard T. Greener Protests to Census Director Durand WHITE AND BLACK Contentions Raised That Use of Terms Has No Proper Place in National Legislation WORK OF CONGRESS Census Director Says That It Was the Intention of the Body to Make Such Distinction. Special to The New York Age Chicago, Ill. March 9—Richard T. Greener, who was consul to Vladivostok, Russia, during the Russo-Japanese War, has registered a protest to Superintendent of Census Durand against the us of the terms W., "B," "M," and J in the taking of the next census, contending that the adoption of such a course means the perpetuation in official documents of the terms "white," "black" and mulatto' to designate over ten million native-born citizens. Census Director Durand has written to Prof Greener that in using such terms, which appear so objectionable, he is carrying out the intent of Congress. Objections are made to the use of the terms in dispute by Prof Greener on the following ground. Because such distinctions tend to foster ignoble prejudices, born of antecedent conditions. Because they are suggestive of the combination of all classes which may be called "white" against the one which may be called "black," or euphemically "colored"—a class confessedly the least protected now, and hence likely to assert its rights, because it has routlessly robbed of its ballot, the only protection in a republic. Because the terms "white" and "black" have no proper place in national legislation, and their use only serves to keep alive and perpetuate distinctions unworthy of this republic. Because to keep them alive invites further aggression, or pr vokes resentment, retaliation, and makes permanent an aggrieved class. All which ultimately means reaction and revolt Following is Prof Greener's letter to Superintendent of Census Durand: The newspapers of this morning report a recent bulletin issued from your office, instructing enumerators to use the terms "W." "B." "Mu." and "In," to designate inhabitants of the United States, and "Ch." and "Jp." for certain foreign nationals resident in this country. I herewith protest against the perpetuation in official documents of the terms "white," "black" or "mulatto" to designate ten or twelve million of citizens native born for several generations. Sociologists, in their profound researches, and possessing extraordinary powers of discernment, may persist in using such terms to suit their purpose, however much the utility may be questioned. The U. S. Government under the slaveholding oligarchy purposely kept up the distinctions of "white" and "black." "mulatto," "octoroon," etc. There can be no reasonable or useful purpose at the present day for maintaining such distinctions unless it be to found, develop, and perpetuate a pariah class, based upon a difference in complexion—really the bane, and the worst evil which threatens our country. Would the Census Bureau dare to ask American citizens, blended from different racial nationalities their component parts? Statistics based on such data would be useless and absurd. Any statistics based on color, obtained by your casual and non-expert enumerators, will be quite as defective and equally as superfluous as all such enumerations have been in the past. No possible good, it seems to me, is to be accomplished, while many evils follow the maintenance of such distinctions. I dare to maintain that, no expert, north or south, is qualified to distinguish accurately between white, black, mulatto, or octoon. At the south, particularly, the evasion and subterfuge on these points have been notorious for fifty years. Immigrants may succeed in recording their former race or nationality, for political or other reasons rather than be designated as "white" American citizens. Distinctions based on color of persons freeborn and of good repute for many generations are unnecessary, and can only have a subtle and mischievous purpose. It is specifically provided by law (Sec. 9.11th Congress Act) that the schedules relating to population shall include for each inhabitant, the name, relationship to head of family, color, sex, age, etc., and it was evidently, therefore, the intent of Congress that the statistics should distinguish between whites, blacks, mulattoes and Indians residing in the United States. Women's Mass Meeting. Dr. Booker T. Washington will address the Y. W. C. A. at Bethel A. M. E. Church, West 25th street, Rev. Revdery C. Ranson pastor, Sunday afternoon, March 20, 1010, at 3 o'clock.

Ransom and a committee from the membership of the Y. W. C. A. Bishop Blackwell at Harlem Eion. Bishop Geo L Blackwell preached both at the morning and evening services of Harlem Zion Church, East 117th street. The sermons were instructive and helpful to the church people now struggling for existence against disadvantages from a source none should expect. Broad and fair minded, a believer in missionary endeavor in fact as well as in word, Bishop Blackwell came at an opportune moment to inspire the Harlem pastor, Mr. McMullen and his earnest workers to greater efforts. The communion was administered at the afternoon services and Rev. J. Henry Taylor of Corning, N. Y., preached the sermon Annual Meeting of Y. M. C. A. The annual meeting of the Y. W. C. A. of New York was held at the Central Branch in Association Hall, Monday last. The chairman of the meeting introduced Mrs R. C. Ransom, who interestingly told of the work of the Branch of which she is president and urged stronger co-operation. The budget of $1,000 was considered modest and general approval, it is said, was shown. A number of checks were voluntarily handed Mrs Ransom and she was warmly congratulated. Union Baptist Pastor Returns.

On next Sunday it will be Shakespeare Day, with Mrs. Minnie Parras in active charge. The Varick Christian Endeavor Society held an interesting meeting—the best for a long time At the pastor's birthday reception on last Tuesday evening by the Mysterious Club, an affair of which the whole church is proud, there was an evidence of such peace, good fellowship and Christian unity seldom seen anywhere. An unusually large number of the many friends of Rev Bolden had gathered to do him honor. The J C Price Lyceum was represented and honored by having Mr Henry Walter Hammond as the master of ceremonies. The church was represented by Rev H W Morrison, who prayed, the Sunday School, by Rev E.

On behalf of the Ethiopian Council, of which he is the president, Mr. Grover presented Rev Bolden with a fine ice cream set, and on behalf of Mrs. W. W. Long, who alone raised the money for the payment thereof, William H. de Kalb presented Rev Bolden with a handsome robe, for which the pastor in his characteristic manner of earnest appreciation gave hearty thanks. At the banquet table where a bountiful plenty of chicken salad, etc., had been prepared, congratulatory speeches were made by John J. T Jackson, Mesdames Margaret A. Vincent, Charlotte A Fisher and Josephine P. Richardson and John William Smith and William N. Brown Such a splendid reception had never before been given in the church at its present spot, and all praise is due to this Mysterious Club and its efficient corps of officers for its success. The table decorations were very effective and the service in serving the people was above criticism Mrs M C. Bentley is the president and Mrs. Fannie Van Brounk chairman of the social committee. Bishop John Wesley Smith, D D., of Washington, D C., will preach at Mother Zion next Sunday morning, and Dr Ransom of Bethel will preach in the afternoon. In the evening Rev Bolden will preach the annual sermon to the Daughters of New York. Bishop Smith will also address the J C. Price Lyceum. Nazarene Congregational Church.

Health Lectures and Co-operation Urged-Prof. Dubois Speaks. Regular Correspondence of The Ack. Baltimore, Md, March 9 -The committee on economic and social betterment, recently appointed by the Maryland Progressive League, has completed its labors. The report is said to emphasize the fact that some of the disadvantages which the city Negro labors under are somewhat dissimilar to those of other classes of people of like economic standards and that some of the hardships under which he labors are due to the fierce industrial conflict in the city and his practical ostracism from skilled labor. The report, it is said, takes up the question of a very large proportion of the race, being unskilled laborers, more or less efficient, who are employed at a low wage rate, and recommends the establishment of a trade school, an employment bureau and social service work among the masses It also suggests that every effort be made to increase the industrial opportunities of the race in Baltimore and recommends that lectures dealing with the question of the value of saving money, public health and other topics of deep interest to the masses be provided for. It also recommends that a directing head be appointed for the proposed task and that a field agent whose duty it will be to keep posted as to the firms desirous of giving colored labor a fair chance and the available supply of such labor. The committee is composed of Hugh G. Macbeth, Daniel A. Brooks and Franklin F. Johnson The choir of Sharp Street Memorial M E Church, probably the best colored choir in the city, was invited to sing at a white Methodist Episcopal church last Friday night, but the acceptance of the invitation was countermanded by Rev Dr W.

Nearly 400 guests were invited and were received at the spacious hall, which was profusely decorated with large Star-Spangled Banners and the Nation's various flags, and many additional schemes in electrical lights. One reigning feature and entirely new to the members of the regiment in ballroom features was a large "L-24", which immensely lighted the hall and which greeted the eye upon entrance to the hall. Long stretches of red, white and blue lamps in electricity were typical of the garden in summer and four large 250-candlepower lamps in addition to the regular hall lights turned the evening into apparent day. Many gorgeous costumes were exhibited by the ladies, and the flash of diamonds and precious gems was at attention and in view. The flor was polished to a mirror-like plane, and as the trim warriors danced their ladies about the hall long reflections scampered along beneath. A large cut-glass punchbowl, encased in the drooping folds of two large flags, with a spotless soldier in attendance, was the nerver of the evening. The ladies were complimented with souvenirs—small silk Japanese fans—during the early evening, which lightened the air of the warm spring evening. Roses freshly cut from the hot-houses of Watertown were given to the ladies in large bouquet, and the sweet odors filled the ballroom. At 10:45 p.m. the band signaled the grand march, and the couples formed and marched like only soldiers can do, and paraded, and then were headed to supper. The dining room was in the lower hall of Dodge Hall, and was especially lighted by seventy-eight electric lights. The table which was tilted off couples was as one eight-foot tall and set in silk and white velvet, with dulcis and dulcis inches of velvet. The menu consisted of oyster cocktail and saltine crackers, chicken salad and French rolls, ham sandwiches, ice cream assorted takes, coffee. Unusual to the routine of ballroom etiquette, the luncheon was enough to serve desiring guests with "seconds," which was the most agreeable surprise. The committees were Reception, Sergeant Frank B Brown, Corporal William Fox, Corporal Prince A Moulten and Private Thomas Brown; refreshment, Sergeant Junius Dawson, Corporal Robert Cotton, Corporal Charles Jefferson, Cook Rubin McClure and John C E. Daves, arrangement, Q M Sergeant Charles Reed, Corporal Chas Robertson, Private Anderson Trappa, Private J J Williams, Private Wm F Hutcherson, invitation, Sergeant Wm Dye Smith, Corporal Samuel Venters, Corporal Russell L. Buchanan and Private James W. Williams. The floor manager was Sergeant Wm B Crawford and the sergeant-at-arms was First Sergeant Henry C. Robinson The celebrated orchestra from the 24th Infantry Band rendered excellent music, for which it is noted, throughout the States and in the Far Pacific islands. The heavy expense to defray the cost of this ball which has been conceded the regiment's most fashionable, suspicious and elaborate ball, was met by the members of the company as a whole. It exceeded $250. The ladies' dressing room was in charge of the following ladies. Mrs W D. Smith, Mrs R McClure, Miss Rebecca Lane, who had converted a small atteroom of the hall into a cozy den of man-made pillows and lounges and large directure mirrors, and hung with pictures of members of the company. All the accessories for ladies beauty making were in abundance. Mrs H C. Robinson, Mrs R Cotton, Mrs R L. Cuchanan, and Mrs Frank B. Brown prepared the refreshments under the able leadership of Mrs Robinson, one of the ablest culinary artists the regiments has ever known, and Know Your Future P. M. PROF. A. C.

"Any recognition of distinguished Negroes, any appointment to office from among their number is properly taken as an encouragement and an appreciation of their progress and this just policy shall be pursued." "Personally I have not the alightest race prejudice or feeling, and recognition of its existence only awakens in my heart a deeper sympathy for those who have to bear or suffer from it, and I question the wisdom of aracy which is likely to increase it." President William H. Tuft in his inaugural Address. TAFT AND THE NEGRO Last week we printed several letters from a special correspondent in Washington indicating unrest in the District of Columbia and elsewhere over the position of the President of the United States as bearing upon Negroes. We advise our friends not to grow impatient. THE AGE has stated several times, and now repeats it, that it believes in President Taft and that he will not disappoint the Negro race. President Taft has been in office just one year. He has three more years to serve, and no one can tell what he will do for the Negro during these three years. No President could carry out all of the policies that he plans to mature in one year. Certainly we can say this, that wherever an occasion has offered itself the President has spoken out in favor of the rights and uplift of America's black citizens. He has never hesitated to be present on any occasion when his time would permit where the interests of the race were to be discussed. All this counts for much. We hazard the opinion that before President Taft shall have rounded out his Presidential career that he will have proven himself to be one of the staunchest and wisest friends that the American Negro has ever had. 图 JEFF DAVIS DONE FOR Last week we remarked: Vardaman got it in the neck, Tillman's got it in the throat, and the American public can breathe easily To-day we chronicle the downfall of that third most famous and expert fire-eating, broad-brimmed, Negro-hating, professional Southerner, Jeff Davis, by the grace of that eminently sagacious and deliberate body of Arkansas legislators, United States Senator from the piney woods State That terribly sincere and soaring statesman has got himself in much more trouble than did the "Broken Pitchfork" after the Roosevelt exposure last winter, and in just about as much trouble as did ex-Senator Burton, who served six months behind the bars for a similar offense To be more specific Senator Davis admitted before the House Committee on Public Lands on Wednesday, March 2, that as counsel for the St. Frances Levee Board of Arkansas that he is getting an absolute as well as contingent fee The St. Frances Levee Board is seeking to have the Government quiet title to about 100,000 acres of Arkansas "sunk lands" The Board claims title Thus the United States disputes Holding a grant from the State, the Board has sold much of the land far below its real value Senator Davis secured Representative Oldfield and tried to get Representative Joseph T Robinson to introduce the bill into the House. These are the facts Section 110 of the new Criminal Code is as follows Whoever being elected or appointed a member of or delegate to Congress or a resident Commissioner shall, after his election or appointment and elicited force or appeal, be required during continuance in office, directly or indirectly ask, accept, receive, or agree to receive any money, property, or other valuable consideration or any promise, contract, understanding, gait,atenement, or other money or for the delivery of conveyance of anything of value to any person with his consent conti- vance, or concurrence, for his attention to, or services, or with intent to have his action, vote, or decision influenced on any question, matter, cause or procedure, or to suspend in either House of Congress or before any committee thereof, or which by law or under the Constitution may be brought before him in his official capacity, or in his place as such membrete, or resident Commissioner, shall times the amount asked, accepted, or received, and imprisoned, not more than three years, and shall, moreover, forfeit his office and thereafter be forced to be qualified from holding any office of equalified from holding any office of the Government, of the United States. So clear is Jeff Davis' offense, his days of pretended purity but putrid practices seem numbered. We are not surprised at the disgraceful taking off of demagogues like Jeff Davis and Tillman. The holier-than-thou Negro-haters of the South are hypocrites. Their condemnation of capital is their bait for hush money Their condemnation of the Negro is their only capital at home and their only press notice at the Capitol. Their private relations with Negroes so far from being hatred are too obscene to pass through the mails The prospective passing of Jeff Davis marks the close of that school of Southern firebrands in Congress of which Ben Tillman has been the ancient dean and to which the gentlemen of Mississippi recently denied James Vardaman admittance. THE FARM CURE The New York State Board of Charities in its recent report to the Legislature again emphasizes the desirability of establishing a State farm colony for tramps and vagrants More than 500,000 loafers are supported in idleness through the country and because of their tendency to winter in the big cities New York becomes the unwelcome Mecca of a horde of vicious and burdensome drones. "The enforced labor, strict seclusion and regular outdoor life," the report continues, "which are features of this system of treating vagrancy, are certainly helpful in breaking up the vicious habits of proper subjects for such commitment." The Charities Board points out that other countries, and most notably Germany, have tried the "farm cure" with complete success Where it has been tried, the tramp prisoners have not only supported the colony but have eventually paid for the cost of its establishment and accumulated a surplus for use after discharge. We heartily wish that New York State will take the lead in providing tramps with a farm. That the plan should be completely successful it would be necessary that the other large cities throughout the country should follow its lead. But New York suffers most and New York should set the example. There are tens of thousands of men, black and white, in New York City without visible means of support who should be put to work for their own and the public good. The man who becomes accustomed to loafing needs to be put to labor on a farm. Nothing else he so much despises, nothing else will have so generally wholesome an effect on his character and habits. The farm for leafers and sports and crooks, black and white, would be both a prevention and a cure JOHN C. DANCY AGAIN. Few men of the Negro race have held office longer than Mr Dancy Few have reflected more credit upon the office than he Mr Dancy has held office so long and has been so long and has been so honored by the Republican party that he should erect a monument to the party in the form of a permanent scholarship at Livingstone College in North Carolina. Let us hear from Mr Dancy on this subject We believe that Mr Dancy will reflect as much credit upon himself, his church and his race as a private citizen as he has in office Mr Dancy has set another high example for members of the race in that he has saved his money and not thrown it away while in office The average Negro goes out of office poorer than when he entered. Not so with the Hon John C Dancy --- BIG WORK In another column of THE AGE this week we are giving a news account of what the collector of internal revenue for the Second District of New York, the Hon Charles W Anderson, is preparing to do to collect the corporation tax We wonder if our people fully understand that Mr Anderson's district will collect more corporation tax money than any district in the United States? Included in his district are Wall Street, lower Broadway and in fact the largest business concerns of the country are under his jurisdiction. Fifty years ago who would have predicted that such would have been the case? THE REWARD OF SERVICE. There is a little couplet which every Negro who has to earn his living should know Honor and fame from no condition rise. Act well your part, therein the honor lies. Emma S. Dubouse for twenty-one years has been the cook in the home of George I. Elliott, a prosperous Brooklyn lawyer, living at 259 Clermont avenue. For over a score of years Miss Dubouse has been the faithful, competent and trusted servant in this cultured and grateful household. During all this time the Elliott's in contrast to and to the envy of their neighbors, have had no servant problem on their hands. In fact they say their only servant problem is to get "Emma" to take a day off. During her leisure time instead she has poured over cook books and perfected herself in the culinary art. But on March r, the twenty-first anniversary of her service, "Emma's" richest reward came. She was given a purse of money. She was the guest of honor at the family reception The Elliott social circle came en masse. Congratulations and honors were showered upon her and she is said to have deported herself with grace and dignity. This Negro cook received more money, honor and newspaper attention than many other men and women both white and black of more pretension and less worth will receive in a life time. All of this was given as a tribute to faithful service, not because Miss Dubous is a Negro but in spite of that fact It matters not so much in the final analysis whether one is a lawyer or a laborer, a barber or a bootblack, a baker, butcher or candlestick maker. The real test of a successful career in life is whether one has made the most out of his particular occupation. In these days of unemployment and keen competition and loud wailing every Negro must realize that in order to successfully compete he must first of all know his book. He must study and keep abreast of his calling Secondly, he must give himself to his service. His business should be primary and his pleasure secondary. He should constantly ask himself these questions. Am I doing this as well as my competitors? Am I doing it as well as it can be done? Am I giving complete satisfaction to my patrons to my employers? These are the questions Miss Dudbois has always made herself answer with a "Yes." Her success is a high and shining example THE NEW RECORDER President Taft has nominated Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., to the position of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. This is a high and honorable position, one that has been zealously sought after by some of the strongest and most prominent men of our race Mr Johnson has secured the prize. The fight is over now, and Recorder Johnson should have the undivided confidence and support of the race. While each individual may have had his own special choice for the place, that does not count now, and we should unite on the choice of the President. Mr Johnson is a lawyer of ability, and we hope that he will prove in this new position that he has the executive ability to give the office a first-class administration. This we think he will do. --- SOME SHOCKING FACTS. The Caucasian world is doomed to realize two shocking and stubborn facts as to its own position in the world. The first of these was expressed by Prof Dubous in his splendid and stirring economic address last Saturday at the Republican Club's Saturday luncheon when he said "What the white race has got to realize is that most of the world's population are not white but colored" The second and even more startling fact is The first man was Negro Of this fact Prof Richard Swann Lull, of Yale, has given strong proof in a life-size clay model of prehistoric man Prof Arthur Keith gives it this emphatic support "There is no longer any doubt as to the truth of the conclusion arrived at by Dr Verneau that at one time the southern part of Europe was occupied by a Negro race." When these revolutionary truths have finally and fully dawned upon the white race it will be moved to a greater respect for the black race. When it realizes that it is outnumbered, that the colored peoples of the world are coming forward by leaps and bounds into the light and power of civilization, when it realizes that its own ancestry perhaps was Negro, the folly of race prejudice and persecution will get its death blow. When civilization is mild to recall that its inception was among the Negro races of ancient Egypt and Merco, which sent first the arts and sciences on their journey westward, the Caucasian races will probably lose their overbearing conceit and egotism. These facts lying historians have long concealed from a partial world. The light of day is already breaking. The world will some day know the truth and the truth will make it free. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. Just hold your tongue awhile! It's a good habit. The gentlemen of Mississippi are coming to the fore. Truth is stranger than fiction. The next governor of New York Collector Loeb, some say, but Mr. Rosevelt hasn't spoken as yet. We only notice in passing that the Negroes in the South received on terms of social equality are dead. Without the slightest apparent reason many Americans have been seeing a war in the future with Japan. People generally find what they are looking for --- Colonel Vardaman says he will keep up his fight for the Mississippi senatorship. The influence of Colonel Bryan has permeated the Democratic party. --- Wade Ellis, the "trust buster," sent to harmonize the party in Ohio, has been the cause, perhaps innocent, of dividing the Buckeye Republicans still further asunder. Force of habit, perhaps --- Senator Gordon of Mississippi among other Southerners haven't recently gone out of their way to assure the country that the whites of Dixie love the Negroes. Two questions naturally arise it this is so "What is love" and "Why don't they show it?" The original "Gaynor for President man from Springfield, Mo, now in New York to induce the mason to come to a Gaynor dinner in his home town, ends himself estopped by his yellow citizens, who say that it he persists there an gun to be no dinner." --- "Was Adam a Negro?" is the startling question answered in the affirmative by a Yale professor. We want the colored brethren to be rather cautious in this discussion, for since time immemorial they have found their only consolation in the Scriptural prophecy that the first shall be last and the last shall be first. . Banker Jacob H. Schuff, Judge Maveo Sulzberger, Prof W E. Dubois, Felix Adler, Dr. Aked and other eminent authorities, though they met at the Re publican Club's Saturday luncheon to get together on racial prejudice expressed the widest divergence of opinion. Authorities never can get together because they stay too high up JEFF DAVIS A JOKE Yet Senator Burton Was Imprisoned for Same Offense, Says Times. Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas is in a state of mind because a stenographic report of what he had said before the House Committee on Public Lands in advocacy of Mr Oldfield's bill to quiet the title of the United States in certain Arkansas lands does not agree with his own latest remembrance of what he said. The stenographer set down that Senator Davis admitted that he might get a good fee if, as attorney for the attorneys he sees, the State of Arkansas could recover damages for timber cut on those lands, according the State's claim without warrant. The withdrawal of the National Government's claim to ownership of the lands might increase the State's chances of getting damages. The State claims ownership and so do the private individuals who have cut the timber. The matter is complicated by the nature of Mr Oldfield's bill has been rejected. Senator Davis's good fee is not in sight. But the Senator's indignation over a "sonational story" circulated by his "political enemies to injure him at home" is real, impressive and of national importance. There may be a need for the legislative or the pragmatic report, but the Senator's own correction of the minutes carries the admission that he is attorney of the St. Francis Levey Board. There are Federal laws against members of Congress appearing as advocates of claims against the United States before commencement of a lawsuit. The Senator was expelled and imprisoned for disregarding the law in this respect. Senator Davis, as a lawyer, may argue that he has not been advocating any claim against the United States. He goes so far now as to declare that if the Oldfellow bill became a law the St. Francis Levey would not be affected in the least. Washington takes Senator Davis humorously. In fact, before the whole country Senator Davis looms in an amusing manner. He has represented Jacksonian freedom of speech, hatred of wealth, hostility to the capitalists with much droll exaggeration of speech. That is why his present prodicament attracts so much notice. He threatens dire punishment. He demands anything derogatory to his character. We do not believe there is a newspaper in the country that desires to print anything derogatory to Senator Jeff Davis' character. The Senator character will be left in limbo with his reputation.—The New York Times. --- All things come to those who sit on thomasville-Chicago. News She. "Oh, George, you have broken your promise."

Some months ago we called attention of the people in this city by an article which appeared in this paper concerning the establishment of a grocery store, that caused many of our readers to think seriously on the subject. And since that time a number of citizens have said they were willing and ready to give their time and money toward an enterprise of that kind.

LODGE WOMEN REBEL Jersey City Lodges Recreating Treatment, Resolve to Patronize Negroes Regular Correspondence of The Act. The cofried lodges of this community are about to inaugure a movement that will no doubt prove far reaching in its effectiveness. The white undertakers have shown no little impatient at having post through the various fraternal organization's burial ceremonies over deceased members, some have strongly hunted at curtailment, and even at entire dispensing with this important function. This has been so noticeable that Beulah Tent more, than a hundred and a quarter strong, unanimously decided to refuse public burial ceremonies to deceased members where white undertakers are in charge of the obsequies. It is more than probable that other lodges will follow the lead of these stout hearted women who have no quarrel with the white undertakers, nor the families of those deceased members who wish to employ them, but they will not be annoyed nor intimidated in their sacred and imperative duties. St. Mark's Church enjoyed a remarkable season of prayer, having more than thirty conversions.

III THEATRICAL COMMENT SINCE the closing the Mr Lode of Koal Company last Saturday evening at the Court Square Theatre, Brooklyn, the many admirers of Bert A Williams have been curious to learn of his future plans. At this writing the big comedian is considering a number of propositions that have been submitted to him, but he does not intend to show undue haste in arriving at any definite conclusion as to the part he is to play during the summer months. That Bert Williams fully intends, at this time, to appear in a big colored production next season was made evident last Saturday evening, when, in addressing the members of the Mr Lode of Koal Company, he stated that he hoped to see many of those present with him when the season opened. He further declared that while he was thinking of starring in a colored show during the theatrical season of 1910-1911, that the question of management was an important matter which was yet to be definitely decided Just how well Bert Williams is being regarded as a business proposition is clearly demonstrated by the propositions being thrown at him in profusion by the managers. For over a week he has been carrying about a contract to play over the Moss-Stoll Circuit abroad at a salary of $1,000 a week, the contract calling for four consecutive weeks, with an option to increase the time to twenty weeks if agreeable to all concerned. All the comedian has to do is to attach his signature to the contract and take passage for London, where he can open in one of the big variety halls. Another big offer is said to come from a Broadway manager, who is anxious to star Mr Williams in a white show. Similar propositions were made him last year, but he refused to listen to any such arrangements, preferring to be surrounded by members of his own race. However, it must be remembered that the comedian has a contract for two more years with the Shuberts, through F. Ray Comstock, that is still in force and which must be broken before any serious consideration can be given to the propositions made by other managers. The comedian must also be to the comedian appearing in vaudeville for a number of weeks—that is an entirely different question. Vaudevillians Should Look Far Ahead. Some weeks ago when announcement was made in these columns that the well-known team of Black and Jones had dissolved partnership, no little surprise was shown by their friends and fellow performers, as the impression was general that the two vaudevillians were on the best of terms. From all reports, Black and Jones did not separate because of any personal differences—they agreed to go in different directions for business reasons. During the theatrical season of 1908-9 Black and Jones were held in high favor by the Booking Office. After going over the play, the team came East, and was booked to play abroad for an indefinite tour. While waiting to complete arrangements for the European engagement they took a flyer, lasting but a couple of weeks, over the Morris Circuit, the financial inducements being rather flattering. Black and Jones went abroad, but did not remain as long as they had originally anticipated. Returning to America they were surprised to find that they were on the United blacklist for having played over the Morris Circuit Finding the "nothing doing" sign up in the United Office, they secured booking over the Morris Circuit, but it was not long before they had played all the Morris houses possible, and were compelled to book over smaller time. When the statement was made in The Act that the team was to separate Black and Jones were playing in moving picture theatres, set twelve months before they were working every week under the sanction of the United Booking Office. Thus an established colored act was forced to dissolve partnership because of what was considered at the time a minor piece of indiscretion Black is now appearing in an act with his wife which is known as the Blacks, and Jones has also taken unto himself another partner. Some months ago when the Morris Circuit began to show an inclination to book colored acts in its large houses The Age advised colored vaudevilla is not to act too hastily in jumping from one circuit to another, contending that a slight increase in salary for a few weeks only did not warrant a change The case of Black and Jones bears out the assertion made at that time Since the opening of the theatrical season of 1900 to a number of standard acts have left the United people for Morris among the well-known acts being Bing Jones and Her Grin, the Bruttons, Bing Jones and Her Grin, the Chocolate Drops, with king and Balee Numbered among the standard act which continue to book through the United are Avery and Hart, Fiddler and Shelton, Cooper and Robinson, Anderson and Gones, Cook and Stevens, the Sunn, South act, and the Kemps. 1 The fate of Black and Jones, two good comedians, who but a year ago were in good standing in the United Office, should be taken as an example by all colored vaudevillans. While they were considered clever as a team, they showed a lack of foreworship along business lines that proved hurtful MUSIC AND THE STAGE LESTER A. WALTO WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

Two young colored women applied at the box office of the Broadway Theatre one afternoon for first balcony seats to witness the matinee performance of "The Jolly Bachelors." They paid $1 apiece for the tickets and had given them to the usher stationed at the front door who is said to have declared that a mistake had been made. The usher and the young women went to the box office, and after a private conversation between the former and the ticket seller tickets of another color were offered for exchange but the females said "No we thank you" and asked for their money which was returned. Quite often the medals at the theatrical take too much upon themselves, and it is wondered in this particular instance of the usher in all his livery and regalia was acting without the knowledge and consent of the management. Here's a tip. If some of these would be important attaches don't look out they will find themselves principally in a number of damage suits, and will find it rather difficult to answer on the witness stand the question "Why did you discriminate and mustreat this plaintiff?" Another Chair of Theatre Discrimination. To the Dramatic Editor of the New York Age. Apropos to an article which appeared in your issue of March 3 with reference to the shameful manner in which two young men were treated at the Belgium Theatre, I beg to say that a similar current took place Friday evening, March 4, at the Court Square Theatre, Brooklyn, during the production of "Mr. Role of Kool." A friend and myself in order to scout seats in the orches tra for the above date wrote a letter asking for some, and sent it by a messenger on Monday, February 2, and received two tickets that were plainly marked "good only on Friday evening March 4" on the right side, row A. No 10 and 12. On presentation of these tickets on the evening of the performance the door man scanned them carefully and at once exclaimed to one of the men connected with the theatre who was near by "Here are two more of those Thursday night's tickets." The man at one rushed these tickets to the box office, and renealed the samp words to the ticket seller, who in return gave him two more, which were marked left, row T. No 9 and 11, after which we were admitted to the theatre. These seats were located at the rear of the orchestra. After we were seated I noticed that the right side of the orchestra was entirely occupied by white people, while on the left the colored were seated, this discrimination gave me the reason for the sudden manner in which my tickets were seized. The clerkeman directly behind me seemed to be in the same predicament as myself, for I heard him remark to one of the ushers "I sent a boy to secure tickets for Friday evening and received Thursday night's instead." 432 Waverly avenue Brooklyn IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Alpha-St (Christopher Controversy) Dear Sir, In reply to your letter of March 1 in reference to the controversy arising from the advertised game between the Baltimore High School and the St. Christopher Bay School teams, in one here was officially notified or any arrangements made with any one concerning the contested game in courture. I learned that a Maryland several players of the High School November 21, 1909, asked our coming teams here in the city. Being informed of the fact that the High School team was the only one in the city, he stated that his team would like to have a game with them, and that arrangements would be made in the future.

Little credit was given this account until a second issue advertised the same information, and several troubled men in New York wrote asking if I contemplated availing it, and a team from Baltimore was lured in my city. It was rumored that the officials advertised the game as a drawing, rather than in actual game. Not having its official knowledge or previous arrangements concerning the advertised game, the team was not wary obligated to appear in New York on February 2, 1910. After reading the repeated articles in Ung Vr. I had the manager on January 31, 1910 send a special delivery to Mr Hart from which he received no reply, to find out why the game was advertised, and at the time were truly expected. This was done simply as a protection to the teams in need, and to find out the real reason for such advertisement. This in brief as the information that I obtained from the various sources. Let me say that no one has in any way game or form arranged a basketball game with the Boltzner High School to be played in New York at any time. I trust the supplies you with the necessary information. Hoping that from you to how the matter is adjusted, for we are equally interested. Yours truly.

The main auditorium was filled to the doors to hear Rev Mason. The keynote of his address was "Optimism". Fluently he urged upon young men to accept the teachings of Christ as the one thing that would fit them for the activities of life, claiming, among other things, that "you have never heard of men refusing to take up the professions of law or medicine, or from entering upon a business or mercantile career merely because of the fact that there are thousands of poor and incompetent lawyers and doctors or businessmen who have failed. Neither should a man refuse to become a Christian and unite with the churches solely because of the fact that some Christians are apparently living no better lives than those outside of the church." Through the faithful labors of some of the ladies of St. Philip's Episcopal Church the interior of that church has been newly painted and piped. This was a much needed improvement and greatly adds to the neat and attractive appearance of the same.
