VOL. XXIII. No. 25. ELKS HARMONY MASS MEETING Over Six Hundred Members Assemble at Bethel A.M.E. Church NO MORE STRIFE Both Grand Exalted Rulers Pres- ent Making Stirring Speeches Urging Peace and Harmony CASE OF WHITE ELKS Sentiment Expressed at Meeting to Take Fight to the United States Supreme Court, If Necessary Bethel A M L Church, West 25th street between Seventh and Eighth avenues, was the scene of a big harmony mass meeting at the evening of March 4, which was attended by over six hundred people. The occasion was made more accessible by the presence of Grand Exalted Ruler W. L. Atkins of Hampton V. and Grand Exalted Ruler J. M. Nortick, the heads of the best surviving factors in Harmony, the most active at the evening. The meeting was such a large body that some represent the Akron community in others. The good feeling was confirmed that the evening was conducive that the ranks of the Incorporated Resolvent Protec-Order Lodge in the World is a ring of the highest degree will be little for the J. M. Lodge to do in things he does except to go through the proceedings of testing the unification plans agreed a few months ago. The sentiment expressed by everyaker at the mass meeting was "Let stop quarreling among ourselves and present a united front against the light of the white Elks to deprive us of our time, regalia, etc." Both Grand Exposed Rulers aroused much enthusiasm when they declared that the colored Elks would carry their side of the case to the highest tribunal in the land if necessary. Struggle of Elks. The Improved Benevolent and Proactive Order of Elks of the World is a organization composed of nearly a thousand Negroes throughout the United States, having about 225 lodges, lodge being located in almost every of any size in the United States. On the past ten years the order has rugged hard for an existence, overcoming obstacle after obstacle, until the organization bids fair to take most prominent place among the framal orders of the age. It has always been a mystery to the Elks as to how the Negro came to possession of the ritualistic works of this order, and from time to time they have gone to the courts and admitted injunction proceedings to retain the Negro from representing him in Elk. In view of the attitude of the white order, the legal defence committee, which is composed of members from the various lodges in the vicinity, arranged have the rank and file of the Negro of this city understand perfectly in what position they are placed, to instil a feeling of interest in this important battle, which is being dealt. Never before in the history of Elkton was there a more enthusiastic gathering. Long before the formal opening of the meeting the seats were well filled. 8.15 Counsellor J Frank Wheaton filled the meeting to order and introduced Brother James Williams of Manton Lodge, No. 5, vice-chairman of the legal defence committee, who predei. By a few brief remarks, he declared the meeting opened, and introduced the Rev C M Branham, who greeted a fervent prayer The Rev Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of Bethel A M E Church, was next introduced. His remarks were encouraging in the extreme, and his welcome those assembled made every one feel that he was fully repaid for lending his信誉. He further spoke of the great脊椎 in fronts the Negro in of his undertakings, but declared that now the rice has reached that indeed it is nothing can thwart its award to him.

Dr J E Mills was next introduced, and was given a hearty reception. His remarks were prefaced by stating that the mass meeting annealed to him greatly, as he had the pleasure of accompanying Dr. W. E Atkins, who knew the organization from incipiency, and much credit was due him for the success of the order, that the difference of opinions which has existed in the order for the past few years were an essential to bring about the desired results, and now, since the "Dove of Peace" hovers over the organization, no living man could stop the onward march of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. The speaker further stated that 40,000 Negro Elks of this country stand as a solid phalanx to protect their interests, and would demand their rights and privileges. Dr Mulls concluded his address by stating that the Supreme Court of the United States would be the only source by which the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World would change their name, and that he would not be the son of a Virgina soldier if he did not stick to the compact that was made at Wilmington, Del, to bring together the Negro Elks of this country, making a united body, all fighting for one common end. Rev R M Bolden of Mother Zoom Church, a member of Blosson Heath Lodge, was next introduced. He spoke of the pleasure afforded him, be able to attend a meeting of such a character and how he listened to the pledges and assurances made for unity. He said that though in which the Negro Elks are participating is one of principle, and in such lights he always liked to take part, as it tends to the uplift of man that the time has come when we as a race of people should want everything which belongs to every other man and should do everything to bring about the conditions which will make us more out. 'I am a man!' H F Burton Curstu of Brooklyn Lodge. No 42 was next introduced being the national center of funds, remarks were made continued by a ransal business at the order, in which he explained the case of the Elks. This concluded the program, and being inspired with the necessity of raising funds to carry on the legal right which now contends the Negro Elks, before adjustment liberal circumstances were made by those present, the same to be used in the legal contest against the white Elks. The arrangement committee, composed of J. Frank Wheaton of Manhattan Lodge, No 45, chairman; Eugene Murray Johnson of Monarch Lodge, No 45, secretary, and W H McFarland of Brooklyn Lodge, No 32, had charge of the successful affair. TO INCREASE ENDOWMENT Statement Issued by Representative Citizens Announcing That Tuke-gee Institute is to Increase Fund to $3,000,000—Trustees Intend to Raise $300,000 During Present Scholastic Year.

He will be compelled to mark them as white while under the same order he will mark many quadroroons and octroroons as mulattoes and thus to put Then apart, in this port of the country, there are many families with well known admirate of India, Nigeria and Ceylon, identified with the hard people.

Won't he be compelled to accept whatever is given to him as the genealogical make-up? The result will be an increase of three or four millions of white people in the South to the side which they are not entitled, a loss on the part of the colored people. Sociologists Will Get Busy on Race Operation What then? The scliotologist will then prove to the world that the Negro race has deteriorated to an alarming extent in the past ten years, and they will flatter themselves that we shall go out of existence in the next fifty or sixty years. This is always the result of such census muddles. The result of such an inaccurate census will be that the persons so designated will really belong to three classes, or four classes, in some cases. This is the condition south of Pennsylvania, including every State east of the Mississippi and south of the Great Lakes. If the Census Department is really seeking information we could give them some startling statistics and open their eyes, perhaps, to actual conditions hereabouts, but it would not please the white people. WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS Interesting Conference Held Last Week at Greenaboro, N. C-Two Days' Session of Negro State Tuberculosis League. Special to Tus New York Agx. Greensboro, N. C., March 22—The Negro State Tuberculosis League met in the auditorium of the Agricultural and Mechanical College on Tuesday, March 15, and remained in session for two days. The meeting was called to order by Prof James B Dudley, the president of the League, who, after stating the object of the meeting and the importance of the colored people doing something to reduce the high mortality from tuberculosis, extended a hearty welcome to the delegates from the various parts of the State. Dr J E Dellinger of this city was next introduced. After extending a cordial welcome to the visiting physicians, he spoke of the importance of man's physical condition Good health he said was man's greatest physical asset, without which he is unable to enjoy to the fullest extent any of the blessings of life. The other speakers of the morning session were Dr J C Charis on "The Importance of Fresh Air." Dr S B Jones on "The Assimilation of Lime Salts as a Check in the Development of Tuberculosis." Short talks were made by Dr W P Carter of Reidsville, N. C., and Rev Satterwhite, pastor of the Lusitanian Church of this city. At the afternoon session the conference was favored with an address by Dr Livingston Farrand of New York, executive secretary of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Dr Farrand spoke of the campaign the association is urging against the spread of the disease. He said that five years ago there were only nineteen antituberculosis leagues, but now there are over four hundred scattered all over the country stamping out the dread disease. Many Speeches Delivered. At the evening session addresses were made by Dr T D Caulley of Raleigh, N.C. on "Heredity a Factor in Tuberculosis," and Dr Ringer, of Ashville, the secretary of the State Anti-Tuberculosis League 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 The first speaker on the program of the second day's session was Dr. W.

At the night session Dr. Ringer of Ashville, secretary of the State Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, addressed the conference a second time on better "Sanitation Among Negroes" He was followed by Prof J H Bluford, who in an illustrated lecture showed the relative death rate from tuberculosis between the whites and Negroes in all the large cities of the country. The conference was brought to a close by a highly enjoyable banquet given by the Chautauqua Triangle in the dining hall of the A and M College. President James B Dudley of the A and M College was made a member of the local committee on arrangements for the National Tuberculosis Exhibit which is now displayed in Neeses Hall of this city DR. WASHINGTON AT BETHEL Large Audience Hears Educator Speak in the Interest of Young Woman's Christian Association—"Race Problem Shifting to the North." Dr. Booker T. Washu gton was the principal speaker at the meeting held last Sunday afternoon at Bethlehem A M E. Church under the auspices of the local branch of the Young Women's Christian Association. The noted educator was greeted by a large and appreciative audience. Dr Washington said, in part "Miss Carter, Mrs Ransom, Ladies and Gentlemen. Owing to having to take a tram for the Southland, I shall necessarily have to be brief. I warn you that I am going to make an old speech. A gentleman told me when I started out to speak to always make a new speech. New speeches gave me no audiences, and I decided to return to the old ones. Bishops and pastors give the same old sermons, but I confess that I got discouraged in the new speeches. I am tremendously, glad to be here I have an interest in the work this association is trying to promulgate. We do not need speeches here after the able speech of Mrs Ransom so much as we need action "The race problem is largely shifting from the South to the North. All are agreed that you are going to have here a tremendously large problem. You are to see to it that in every way our people set the right example. Most of you came from that part of the country that I did. I have no patience with the individual ashamed of the place from which he came or one who is ashamed of his race "Every Monday morning scores of men go out from New York City as drummers, who carry goods in samples. Many of the people do not see the goods only in samples. Many of the people in the North never come in touch with the great masses of our people in the Southland. You are the samples. Folks here will say I have not seen the millions in the South; but I have come into touch and into contact with the drummer's samples of the millions in the Southland. They are all right; hence I have faith in those of the South. "You want to set such a high example that it will be a credit to you and to the millions of our people in the South. Let me repeat that you have a double responsibility. What helps you here helps us in the South I am here to help see that the Negro woman here is given an opportunity to be the best and purest of womankind. While the Negro girl in New York has some advantages in the North, she also has some disadvantages. She knocks at the door of the public high schools, colleges and universities and the door flies wide open. But when that girl is through with the school, the high school, the college and the university she knocks at the door of various enterprises, but the door does (Continued on page 8) i. 2. BISHOP E. COTTRELL OF THE C. M. E. CHURCH Negro in Athletic Meet Provokes Animated Discussion SENIOR MEMBER PROTESTS Lyman L. Bryson Takes Exception to Unfair Editorial Published in College Paper About Negro Students on Campus Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Ann Arbor, Mich., March 22—The hissing of Maurice Curtis, a colored student attending the University of Michigan, who participated successfully in an athletic meet held here a short time ago has been the cause of a discussion of the race question—a subject that has never before been a serious consideration in this northern college town. In publishing an editorial relative to the incident The Michigan Daily, a college paper, made a few caustic remarks which were somewhat Southern in sentiment and which created much adverse comment among the students. One of the prominent students to resent the unfair utterances made by the paper was Lyman L. Bryson, a senior, and poet of his class. Cornelius E. Sawyer, 1910, Literary Department, also rebuked those at the institution who are trying to draw the color line, stating in an open letter that while the majority of the students do not favor discrimination a skulking few seek to stick a thorn in a Negro student's side whenever he appears in public, that although comparatively few in number they partake of the character of all things that are hollow—make much noise. The following letter was written by Lyman L. Bryson and addressed to the Editor of The Michigan Daily: I believe that I am correct in stating that the editorial regarding the Negro in the university, published in your issue dated March 2, was a source of extreme astonishment and regret to a large body of the students in Ann Arbor; astonishment that such ideas should be held by a student in a northern university, and regret that they should find expression in the editorial columns of a paper purporting to be representative of the sentiment of the campus. In all probability such sentiments as were expressed in the editions of the Mason and Dixon line, but here in the north I cannot perceive that there are any mitigating circumstances to excuse the writer of the article. So far as the particu' s are con cerned I take exception with you as to facts. You give what might appear on the surface to be a very plausible explanation of the hissing that occurred at the meet Saturday night, but as a matter of fact you mis-state. If your purpose had been merely to attempt favorably to interpret a most improper and timed demonstration your position would measure the defensible, but the last two paragraphs of your editorial refute any such defense giving your editorial a purely jungistic character. I happen to know from conversations that occurred at the meet that the hissing was not at the applauding element of the audience but at the colored boy who run the race. Nor is this the first time it has occurred. We had said unfair and unnily conduct played at the meets last year when a Negro entered and won some of the sprints. So far as the presence of a Negro upon university teams is concerned I am certain that you can attribute their absence to but one fact, namely, that there have been no Negroes in the university of varsity calibre since you and I have been in here. Michigan has pa-ticipated in games with other uni-ities having upon their teams Negroes, and no protest has been made I refer to the Syracuse base-team of 1907 which had a Negro for third baseman and a Nebraska football team which played a colored man but a few years ago; and we also sent men to compete against Taylor in eastern meets. So far as the southerners upon our campus are concerned I maintain that a Michigan Negro entered in the University of Michigan has as many rights to be considered as a southerner. And your definition of the campus rights of the colored race is a striking example of narrowness of viewpoint. The right to study and sit in the classrooms of the university by no means constitutes the sole right of an entrant; it is the right of a student that you controversy arose between you and the faculty as to the place of athletics in a man's preparations for his "life's work" (your quotation marks) you would be on the side of athletics arguing vociferously I shall not comment upon one phrase you used further than to call attention to its slurring 'ote. It ran as follows "To hiss the winner merely because he happened to be a Negrit. would have been a serious breach of manner, probably." This have to say in particular about the conduct of the Michigan daily editorial columns: if the writer's point of view is distorted and discolored by personal prejudices it is outside his province to print his views and permit them to be circulated in and about the university in an organ that derives its influence from its supposedly representative character DR. WASHINGTON AT FISK. Tuskegee, Ala., March 28.—Principal Booker T Washington of the Tuskegee Institute will deliver the annual address before the Dunbar Literary Club of Fisk University, March 30. He is also to speak March 31 in connection with the inauguration of the new president of the university, Dr George A. Gates Has Largest Circulation RAISED $5,000 AT ONE MEETING Bishop E. Cottrell Tells of Race Loyalty in Mississippi LARGE CONTRIBUTORS Over $100,000 Given by Negroes in Interest of Mississippi Industrial College NEW ERA IN STATE Election of Leroy Percy to United States Senate Has Brought About Better Feeling Between Races How the Negroes of Mississippi have admirably succeeded in providing institutions of learning for the colored youth, despite the arguments and acts of Vardaman against Negro education, was made known by Bishop E. Cottrell, Presiding Bishop of the Fourth Episcopal District, C. M. E. Church, at Bethel A. M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon. Bishop Cottrell was in New York City for several days on business, and was one of the speakers at the big meeting held in the interest of the W. C. A. Bishop Cottrell told of $5,000 being raised in the interest of the Mississippi Industrial College, located at Holly Springs, Miss, at one meeting, and how members of the race with patches on their trousers and dresses came forward and gave as high as $100 and $50 for the cause of Negro education in that State. The Negroes of Mississippi had done themselves proud as money-raisers, and Bishop Cottrell is unstinted in his praise of the loyal support they have given Negro education. Within seven years over $100,000 has been raised by members of the race for the support of the Mississippi Industrial College, of which amount less than $500 was given by Negroes outside of the State. Origin of Mississippi Industrial College. The Mississippi Industrial College, of which Bishop Cottrell is treasurer of the board of trustees, came into existence during the Vardaman regime when the cry of "No education for Negroes" was being waged. One of the first official acts of Vardaman when he took office as Governor was to veto the appropriation made by the legislature for the maintenance of the Mississippi State Normal, which had been receiving financial support from the State for forty years. On account of Vardaman's attitude the school was closed in the middle of the session, when nineteen pupils were about to receive diplomas, and 200 young men and women were deprived of means of securing an education. A few months later Bishop Cottrell and a number of public-spirited Negroes held a meeting and decided to establish a representative educational institution at Holly Springs, Miss, and despite Vardaman's anti-Negro policies, the Mississippi Industrial College was formed. Negroes promptly responded to the call for financial aid, and 110 acres of land was purchased in Holly Springs for $5,350 cash. Two three-story brick buildings have been erected, costing $50,000. They are fitted with steam heat, electric lights and all modern improvements. One of the buildings is called Catharine Hall, having been named after the wife of Bishop Cottrell, and the other the J. D. Hammond Hall. A third structure is in course of erection, which will cost $32,000. Institution Making Much Progress. Over four hundred pupils attend the Mississippi Industrial College, and the attendance will be increased to 100 when the third building is completed. The institution has a staff of fourteen teachers The value of the land owned by the college is estimated at $20,000, the buildings at $71,000, and equipment at $8,000, making a total of $90,000. Negotations are under way to purchase one thousand acres of land in contiguous territory, and a number of industrial features will be added to the course of study. The C M E Church raised $18,133,71 toward the maintenance of the Mississippi Industrial College during the year of 1900, and other contributions from members of the race, including $478,97 from the M F Church, South, made the total income exceed $15,000. The institution now boasts of four heads of horses, ten cattle, forty hogs and poultry. According to Bishop Cottrell, since the election of Leroy Percy to the United States Senate and the defeat of Vardaman, a better feeling exists between the two races, as Senator Percy is a friend of the Negro and has always advocated an equal opportunity for all races. We Hold Bible Study in Harlem. A. E. Bain, 2283 Seventh avenue, announces that a bible study will be held at his residence every Thursday evening, commencing at 8 o'clock. The study will be held under the auspices of the Bible Tract Society of Brooklyn and New York. Abysmian Branch Revival Successes Our long and successful revival at the branch closed recently. Mesdames F. Christian and S. Lightford opened a revival at the Missionary Circle, 61 W. 134th street (now at 17 East 134th street) at the branch of Abyssinian Baptist Church and many souls were saved. Advocate Editor at St. Mark's. Rev. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, preached at St. Mark's M. E. Church last Sunday evening to a crowded audience. In the afternoon he was present at Bethel A. M. E. Church to the mass meeting of the Y. M. C. A., at which Dr. Booker T. Washington spoke. Dr. Jones was a caller at THE NEW YORK AGE. One of the most progressive men in the ministry, he has proved himself a worthy successor to Bishop I. B. Scott, now in Africa. Timothy Baptist Church. Rev. J. H. Newkirk served his first communion at Timothy Baptist Church to a large gathering. The morning service was very well attended. Among the visitors were Deacon Green of Pilgrim Baptist Church. The Golden Hour Song Service was also very well attended. Their subject, "Abram's faith in God," was discussed by Messrs. Clark, Horton, and Dempsey, of Timothy, and Holsey of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. The collection was very good. Bethel Church. The stork visited the Rev. William H. Lacey's Monday, March 14, and left a son, but the grim reaper came the same day and robbed the household of its shortlived joy. Mrs. W. R. Lawton, Mrs. Lydia Smith and Mrs. Rachel Moore gave inspiration to the woman's day service Sunday, March 13, in their most helpful talks. The junior choir of Newman Memorial M. E. Church furnished excellent music on the occasion. A most interesting mock trial and musical concert under the auspices of the Colored Republican League of Kings County for the benefit of Bethel will be given at Summer Hall on April 21. The parlor social given at the home of Mrs. Margaret Johnson in Flatbush netted $12.60 for the trustees and everybody had a most pleasant time. Harlem A. M. E. Zion Church. Palm Sunday services were very interesting at "Little Zion," 236 East 117th street, and Rev. J. H. McMullen, the pastor, preached instructively both at the morning and evening services. A new feature was the free distribution of palms, Dr. McMullin being the first colored clergyman of the Methodist denomination to adopt the custom in the city of New York. The congregation was unusually large in the morning and many strangers had come to locate the Harlem church. Through the courtesy of THE NEW York ACE, always interested in missionary endeavor, and the splendid new management of the church, the future of Little Zion never was brighter than at the present. Mrs. Ida Henry, assisted by a company of Christian Endeavor workers, gave a very successful entertainment on St Patrick's day. Easter will be observed with special music and modest decoration of the church. The sermon will be preached in the morning. The Sunday School will hold appropriate Easter services at 2 p. m. Bethle Chapel Pastor Summoned. On account of the serious illness of his mother, Mrs. Margaret DeShields, in Wilmington, Del., Dr. DeShields was summoned to her bedside with the rest of the family on last Sunday evening. He left immediately after preaching and administered the Lord's Supper. There is no hope for recovery. Our congregation was large Sunday evening. The young people will give a country concert Thursday, March 25, at the Bethel A. M. E. Chapel. Rev. James will have charge of the services of the church in the absence of the pastor. The memorial services of the late Samuel Middleton, who departed this life January 27, in Charleston, S. C., were conducted last Sunday. The church was thronged with people. Crowds and crowds of people were turned away from the door. The eulogy was delivered by Rev. L. Walter DeShields, the pastor. The following persons assisted: Rev. G. S. James, B. Hogart, Mrs. Mary Talton and Mrs. Hardy. The paper rendered by Mrs. W. B. Phillips, as well as the solo by Miss A. M. Brinkerhoff, were quite appropriate. He leaves a wife, two children and a host of friends to mourn their loss. He died a member of the chapel. The revival will discontinue next Sunday evening. Communion will be served at the same services. Jersey Honor Students at Y. M. C. A. The Literary Society of the Manhattan branch of the Y. M. C. A., is making earnest preparations Beginning with April 5, prominent men will lecture before the society, and musicians of prominence will sing and play. The intention is to make things lively from now until the literary season closes in June. President Jones had a fine meeting on Tuesday evening last, current questions being discussed. Over two hundred people crowded into the lecture and social rooms last Sunday afternoon to witness the interesting program Prof W L. Bulkley, principal of Public School No 125, presided. The principal attraction was the presence of little Miss Estelle E. Gibbs and Master Thomas Johnson. It will be remembered that Miss Gibbs is the 14-year-old girl of Hohoken who recently graduated at the head of her class with a percentage of 90.3. Mr Johnson is from Jersey City, and graduated at the head of his class in high school. Miss Gibbs received a great ovation from the great crowd which had gathered to do her honor. She rendered two selections on the piano, and showed great skill in her performance. She is is a bright, attractive young man, and in a very brief address he thanked the audience for the honor done him. An informal reception was held after the meeting. Next Sunday afternoon Rev. Dr. Isaac N. Rendall, president emeritus of Lincoln University, will address the young men. Does' Sermon at Mother Zion. It was Palm Sunday at Mother Zion last Sunday and a record crowd of worshippers attended the morning and evening services. Rev. Bolden preached two very able and impressive sermons. The choir rendered spirited music. At the evening service the annual sermon was preached to the Eureka Temple of the Does—lady Elks. At Mother Zion next Sunday Rev. Bolden will preach a special Easter sermon at the morning service, and besides present each one with an Easter card. The Sunday School is making special efforts for Easter exercises. It will be Douglass Day at the J. C. Price Lyceum in charge of G. Washington Butts, Lieutenant W. R. Davis, a personal friend of the late Mr. Douglass, will deliver the principal address. Mme. Johnson is putting forth unusual efforts to have appropriate music next Sunday. The choir will not occupy its accustomed place in the choir loft, but will use the baleony, where there will be a chorus of fifty voices with several special soloists. Theobald Lodge Has Successful Reception. One of the most enjoyable evenings of this season was spent by those who availed themselves of the opportunity of attending the fifteenth annual Ball and reception of Theobald Lodge, No. 3890, G. U. O. O. F., at Tammany Hall Tuesday evening, March 15. It was a unique gathering of beautifully costumed ladies and well-groomed gentlemen. At one o'clock the grand march, led by P.N.F. C. M. Randolph and Mrs. Randolph with the Vinvencio H. H. of Ruth as the guest of the Lodge, and visiting members made a beautiful showing.

It will be understood that the conditions will be the same as the previous conditional offer—that the subscriptions will be paid into the treasury of the branch fund as rapidly as your contributions are paid in, and in pro-cotton thereto "It is understood in this canvass that the board of managers will solicit funds only from white persons, and the committee of management of the colored branch will solicit funds only from colored persons. However, if unsolicited subscriptions are offered to either the board or the committee they will be received regardless of their source. "Very truly, "William Knowles Cooper."

The reader may answer the interrogation for himself after I relate my business experience with the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company for the last four years. The facts are given to the public because I feel that other men and women have given this company their financial support and moral influence and are being treated or are soon to be treated much the same way. In fact I know of others who have been so dealt with. In March, 1800 I contracted to purchase the piece of land of this company, for which I would pay $8,500. Twenty shares of stock was paid for before they would consider my proposition, $2000.00, and the sum of 2008 and the new account was paid. The amount to pay will be made by the sum of $80 per month. I would like to pay more than the amount stated if desirable. They were to give a deed to the property as soon as the entire amount of the purchase was paid. I met my regular installments until I had paid the amount. Principal, representing something like $8,500 in interest, principal and taxes. In 1908 I notified them that I would elect to pay the remainder of purchase price one year hence, and that I wanted my deed. They were notified one year in advance. I continued to pay my payment immediately. June I notified them again that my intention was to pay them the remainder of the money on July 1, 1909. July 1, 1909, I carried down to this company at its home office the sum of $10 in legal tender and demanded my fee and the cost of my attorney to me according to my contract. I have a receipt for this tender and I can say the same for every dollar I have paid to this concern. They can be paid to my one who is interested in the matter. But to my great surprise and disappointment and disgust they failed to give me a deed, and thus broke their contract. Just a few days after I paid my last installment in June I received an action brought against me to defend an action brought against the politician Mercantile and Realty to recover interest due and past due on the second mortgage. I rang up the company concerning this action to foreclose. They replied to me that they had very little interest in the property with whom you why they said that. When I needed money in 1908 that I was going to take title to put another mortgage of $2,100 on it, and that represented more than they had in it. They would not pay the interest on it, and it was sold at auction. That is not all. The conduct of officers of this company in this transaction is so unconsciliable that if it is not fraudulent it comes dangerously near it. The property was sold in September, and not an officer of the company was there to protect the interest of the stockholder in interest. Think of it, they received from me $500 in interest, principal and taxes, and not one of them at the sale to protect my interest! It seems to me that officials of any company, white or black, of such conduct should be compelled to manpower the company and its officers were criminally negligent and futility. The roof was sold over my head, my credit ruined and my business destroyed. In this the company that admonished me for his homes for our people" Is it capable? After all this my lawyer could not get me to sue them for breach of contract, damages, etc. Hoping against hope that a sense of decency and justice would make them treat me right, I did not represent me further as he knew the officials were culpably negligent Then I tried to adjust the matter wit the company without legal advice. They made me many promises which they promptly broke, and not one have kept or intended to keep. I made this matter, and I settled this matter, and nothing was an accomplished Breach of promise on every hand by the company and its faithless truminate. I regret very much the loss of my business as it was the result of hard work and the expenditure hundreds of dollars in alternations and repairs second to none in equipment. This company has almost ruined me financially. Despairing of all hope of amicable settlement I have turned my face to the courts and have brought a suit against this concern, and shall have no reason in securing justice. I shall push the matter in as many courts as necessary. I am forced to conclude that this corporation is either unsafe and unreliable in itself, or its officers are men who do not pay the strictest adhesion to truth and honesty. I feel that it is my duty to make the facts known this question. In case the reader may answer the question, I recommend the Mercantile and Realty Corporation a reliable concern and one that our leading men should support and endorse.

A glimpse into the status, the hard progress and future of the African is given by the press correspondent, Frederick E. Sturtevant, in his report last Wednesday of Colonel Roosevelt's review of the Soudanese troops under the English Colonel Hutchinson. The report reads Colonel Roosevelt's face flamed with emotion as the physically perfect blacks in khaki uniform swept by, keeping perfect time to their band, which played native marches adapted to musical brasses. The melodies reminded one of such droning as is heard on the Georgia cotton fields, plus a barbary wall, but withal in perfect tension. The troops marching and drilling equaled that of the West Point cadets. "Can they fight"" abruptly asked Colonel Roosevelt of the inspector general at his elbow They can fight as well as they can march," answered Slatin Pasha. Colonel Roosevelt, flaming with emotion, strenuous, comprehensive and far-sighted, must have been pondering mighty questions concerning the Africans. As he stood there in admiring review of these physically perfect blacks in khaki and revealing a West Point discipline, he probably was thinking of the Fighting Tenth Cavalry and San Juan Hill. He probably thought to himself: "The blacks of Africa too are coming into the power of civilization. Commercial conquest by Europe of this great rich continent whose inhabitants God has ordained shall be black will do for these people what slavery did to the American Negro. For a season it will keep them in industrial if not physi- bondage. But they too will emerge as masters of the arts of peace and of war. Some day among these Soudanese, some day among that other race of black Herculeses, the Zulus, amon gthe hardy Congoese and Kafirs, among all the Negro peoples of Africa leaders, military, industrial and political, will come forth and lead their race into the promised land of independent civilization. This may be the evolution of decades and of centuries. But of any people capable of such discipline, and of any such people that can and will fight tho need be no despair A WORTHY INSTITUTION One of the young and worthy Newro institutions of the Southland is the Mississippi Industrial College at Holly Springs, whose founder and treasurer is Bishop Elvis Cottrell. Founded in 1905, the normal and industrial school now is worth a total of $99,000, with buildings worth $71,000, land worth $20,000, and equipments worth $8,000. The enrollment of the school is now about 500, and an able and well trained teaching staff has been provided. The trustees of the institution plan now to erect two additional buildings at a cost of more than $50,000. Andrew Carnegie has pledged the institution $25,000 to this end, on the condition that the instruction raise the means and erect one of the buildings at a cost of not less than $25,000. Mississippi Industrial College has the warmest endorsement of Dr Booker I. Washington. Bishop Cottrell has made a favorable impression and we trust that his efforts in the field will be around ant frum. The Church shall see to it that the Holly prince must raise funds out of the arms given to the troops to look for the No. need it in the $1000 do. More Mills. More It has reserves the leases. THE BATHS IN BALIIMORE A woman from the city of Baltimore is taking a free establishment on Angie's private free baths for Negroes. Some of its were made to arouse the selected population as to their boon and opportunity. So unsatisfactory was their response to these efforts that some degraded politicians are now agitating for the abolition of the splendid bathhouse. Apparently they make out a rather plausible case against the Negroes. Last month only 1,700 persons patronized the place, and of this number more than 600 came to do laundry work alone. The cost per bath for each citizen of color bathing last month was 17 cents. On the other hand, it is contended that the public bath for the whites costs from 2½ to 3 cents a bath, owing to the thousands of the latter bathing. It would be nothing short of a calamity if the opportunity for free baths were taken from the colored people of the Oriole City. Yet this extreme measure is being favored by a member of the bath commission. The Negroes themselves are largely to blame. Yet the bathhouse has not been established sufficiently long to be declared an absolute failure, neither have general and persistent efforts been made among the Negroes to induce them to grasp this public benefit. With all the earnestness at our command we ask the preachers and leaders of Baltimore's hundred thousand Negroes to stir up a sentiment for the general patronage of the bathhouse. We ask the Bath Commission to be a little more patient THE CHURCH SCANDAL We have in our possession the specific charges of graft and corruption made by Rev John T. Hamilton of Delaware, Ohio, to the Bishops of the A M E. Church in midwinter session at Vicksburg, Miss, on February 9 We have also received similar and other accusations from Pittsburg The astounding and damaging statements made against the churchmen, high in the cloth, we are not at this time publishing in all their scandalous detail We are awaiting the report as to their disposition by the bishops The Ohio letter to THE ACE accompanying the charges reads in part as follows You will find a clipping from your paper of January 13, 1910, attached to a copy of one of the seventeen letters that were registered to each of the Bishops of the A. M. E. Church on February 7, 1910, in order to reach them in their "Mid-winter Session." February 9, 1910, at Vickersburg. Miss. Your editorial being so true in every respect to the actions of ninety—if not ninety-nine—percent of the Bishops of the A. M. E. Church is the reason for sending you the copy. The day has come in this—the Episcopal District of this church—by love, good and regular standing and in harmony with all, one must tactfully and ostensibly endorse lawless liars, libertines, drunkkards and grafters. A sad fact for an annual convention of gospel ministers? but a fact, nevertheless. Yours truly, INO F. HAMILTON Rev Hamilton charges that well nigh $50,000 has been turned from its legitimate channel in the form of graft during the last quadrennium. Six thousand dollars of the monies of the annual conference of one Episcopal district has been misappropriated, says the writer, since the present bishop has been in charge. Three thousand dollars at it he continues has found its way into that bishop's pockets. Until more, Rev Hamilton says. Protest attorney test has been made in vain, and this graft business is a thing to keep out of the bishops. We cannot say that we disbelieve Roy Hamilton replied to us as an honour and admire the man. We are not likely to believe that there is many a brave high on the hill whose heart is black with lazit and immorality. We do not believe that this exists with the convict and protection it at the body of st. wart Negro churchmen. We are pinned to be faithful and devious to the race to speak thus frankly. The A.M.I. Church gives us the best in the league. A NOBLE NOBLEMAN for many good Mothers fate, inspiring to the new family and the countryside. No grief blood but as well because she was the offspring of a magnate marriage. In the royal couple accord- ingly went into voluntary exile in Paris. During the current year the Grand Duke has asked that it be his nephew, the Gear's "unalterable will and pleasure," that he must not return to Russia until he gets rid of his wife. This implied invitation he defiantly rejected. Though he lives splendidly on his independent fortune near the French capital, each year he loses in the neighborhood of $100,000 in royal perquisites. He loses the position in the councils of state and in the army to which his nobility entitles him. Despite all this, the Grand Duke clings to the wife he loves. He will hive and die in exile. The days of chivalry are not past Knighthood is still in flower. Whatever may be said of other European dukes and counts, the Grand Duke Michael of Russia is truly a noble nobleman.

FRIEND OF NOBLE MEN When the reconstitution government fell to North Carolina she came North, where for more than thirty years she made amends, like she was always Southern to type and character, with a large heart for friendship and hospitality.

WILLIAM H LEWIS Boston, Mass. March 16, 1910 NEGRO DOMINATION. Democratic Election Cry Followed by Corruption and Crime. It is impossible to consider the recent prevalence of Negro crime in Louisville without recalling the Democratic campaign cry of Negro domination, which prior to the election was shouted from every platform and street corner where a Whallen orator could get a hearing The Herald at the time drew attention to the fact that the phase of Negro domination, which the frenched stump speakers were denouncing in exaggerated hyperbole, was not the one most greatly to be feared. We could see no peril to our white citizenship from the employment of Negroes as street cleaners and in other subordinate capacities by the city. We could find no reason in the objection raised to this practice by men who employed Negroes in their own homes and places of business to do the mental work. But we saw a peril in the return to the day of Negro idleness that prevailed under a former Democratic regime when shiftless blacks in dark alleys and protected women of the city. This is the kind of Negro domination that Louisville has cause to dread. It is back to this sort of thing that the city seems to be drifting There has been more disorder, more violence, more crime among Louisville Negroes during the three months of Democratic rule than during the two years of Republican administration. If a tighter rein is not placed upon this element in the community we will be able to deal with the conditions that prevailed during the latter part of Mayor Barth's regime before it has run its course. The reason for this state of affairs may lie in a lack of efficiency on the part of the police force, or in an alliance between the party machine and the lower class of Negroes—perhaps in both. Whatever it may be it is distinctly disreducible to the administration that two years of remarkable immunity from crime should be followed by a renewal of the idle and degraded members of the colored population. Col. Lindsay has yet to win his apurs as a capable Chief of Police. So far he has not demonstrated the possession of those excellent skills he has edited at the time of his appointment. There is a pretty general impression that Col. Lindsay is somewhat of a figurehead, and that police affairs in Louisville are under political direction.

Yet there are quite a number who could do more than they are at present doing, thereby making the work a great deal lighter for the few who are now carrying the burden. The preachers should join in this work and assist these good ladies, there is quite a deal more to be done as a preacher than preaching on Sunday and holding church meetings to collect salaries.

Barnes Says Republicans Will Need Negro in Their Councils. To the Editor of The Age It is the opinion of loyal Republicans of this section that President Taft ought to get busy, if he expects to allay a rapidly) growing belief among the Negro voters of the North that he has not abandoned them, in a vain, foolish attempt to win some Southern State to Republicism The writer admires the abiding faith that The Age seems to have, and hopes that it "speaks by the card" in prophessing a changed attitude for the future but at the same time you will have to confess that you know of no act of President Taft, or his Administration, which was indeed that the Negro was often considered as contributing factor in the past successes of the party. The truth is, sir, that the large majorities recorded the party in the past two campaigns have imbued the controlling element of the party with the idea that these campaigns may be won without the assistance of the Brother in Black. That, air, is the crux of the whole matter. What matters it, in Wayne County, Michigan, for instance, which way 5,000 Negroes vote if the county goes Republican by 25,000 majority. But the signs of the times, out this way, at least unmistakably point to a day of reckoning. There is a growing unrest manifesting itself daily in this section, not alone among the colored vote, but among all classes as well. Prosperity does not always mean satisfaction. When times are bad people seem to be content to abide their lot, but when prosperity is supposed to come in chunks, as it were, people are naturally wondering why they can't realize its success in individual. The vast out of living is creating a gumption in the North, East and West which means the loss of a great number of the full dinner pall brigade" and the days are not far distant when Mr. Taft and his party will be glad to once more admit the Negro to their party councils. It is clear that we are not wanted there now, and out of this situation there is but one satisfying feature, and that is that the Negro is conscious of that fact, and will act accordingly. The writer of this article is a Republican born and bred, never voted for a Democrat in his life, has a wide acquaintance among leading Republicans of this section, and knows where the speaks when he says not a single Negro is satisfied with Mr Taft, his party on his Administration. It is going to take more than soft speeches, fair praises and glittering generalities to keep the Negro in line. Secretary Jackson may win a few votes in the South but for every such vote he will lose Mr Taft live in the North.

It is extraordinary that the statement should continue to be made in the South "nine-teeths of money used to educate Negroes come from the pockets of the white payera." This statement has been often challenged, and evidence presented that Negroes pay very neat and in some sections quite all the share to support their schools. The evidence is available. Soon Carolina spent last year for the education of the average white child $10.36, and for the education of colored child $170. In some of counties the average amount spent in the education of colored children down to 97 cents, 90 cents, 89 cents and 58 cents. In Charleston County $35.70 was spent on each white child and $255 on each colored child, this is, it cost the public in Charleston as much to keep one white child school as it did to school fourteen colored children. It would appear from this that the pockets of the white payers would not be so terrified pressed even if they were called up to meet the "nine-tenths" required to educate the Negroes. Negro educated at $10 per annum ought not stage any kind of taxpayer But there are other figures from most reliable source. Mr Charles Coon, Superintendent of Schools, Wison, N. C., takes up the direct question "Is the Negro public school burden to the white taxpayer and if to what extent?" His paper was no before the Twelfth Annual Conference for Education in the South, and published by authority. His investigations extend on eleven States. Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee. I shows that these States spend on public schools annually $22,068,851, that the Negroes, although 60.1 cent. of the population, receive of 14.8 per cent. of the fund. He fouls shows that even if the school for Virginia were divided on the / line," that is, by taxes paid, the Negroes share, instead of being $422.8 the amount which they now receive would be $507,305. In North Carolina the amount due Negroes is $429. Instead of the $402.638 which they receive, in Georgia the amount would be $647,825.4 instead of about $506,170, which they receive. Thus, according to his figures, the Negro schools of these three States also fall short of receiving their pro share to the extent of $93.278. This is, the Negroes do not receive, by $22.78 for school purposes, the amount personal and poll taxes they pay their pro rata share of corporate taxes and State appropriations. It is plain from the above that the Negro schools do not receive anything from white property tax or white property tax, they do receive something from corporation taxes and from appropriations. It is evident, however, that they do not share on equality with whites in this respect. If these corporations taxes and State appropriations combined can be held as coming from the pockets of the white taxpayer and if the amount turned over for these funds to the public school should equal nine tenths of the money spent for Negro education than the claim made might be good. It does seem, however, a very unnecessary and uneconomic proceeding to regard the general fund otherwise than for general education, administered on principles of Moral and whites, as also whites have in their to do with the general Every City has School ```markdown ``` Attitude of President Taft on Race Question Discussed POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS Ralph W Tyler Contends that President is Sincere in Desire to Destroy Evidences of Race Distinction Washington, D.C., March 23—Ralph W. Tyler, in an interview this week, teaching President Taft's administration with respect to the race, specifically enumerates some of the things the President has done to benefit the race. Mr Tyler, who is the Auditor for the Navy Department, is from the President's own State, Ohio, taking the high ground that the future of the whole race is paramount to the future of a few, said. In making President Taft's administration in so far as it has had a bearing on the Negro race, not a few Negroes have fallen into the error of considering alone the number and quality of political appointments to date. An equitable North or South is admitted when the wish and hope of every Negro and he considers it but the just recognition of his citizenship, and his ability to and observance of the laws of his country. Still, however, it must not be assumed that political appointments then constitute the one and only basis upon which to predicate criticism of President Taft and his administration. Regrettable though it be, there is a real and a fancied line of distinction between the whites and Negroes of this country. President Taft in his every public attribution has shown that he is out of sympathy both with the real and fancied line of distinction. However, this has not closed his eyes to the existence of this line nor presented his attempting an adjustment of conditions which will, he sincerely hopes, eventually destroy every evidence of race distinction and race conflict. That he is sincere in this matter no Negro who knows him or correctly judges him, will affirm to the contrary. If those Negroes who are impatient for a shower of political fruit from the presidential plum tree will stop to consider that when the Maryland disfranchising law was before the electors of that state for adoption President Tatt threw the weight of his influence against it, and in vigorous terms denounced it as an unjust discrimination, and that without that influence, probably, every Negro in Maryland today would be disfranchised, perhaps they will conclude the beneficent effect of his influence in Maryland was far more fruitful, for the race, than any number of political appointments. If the Negro critics of the President will recall his Hampton, Howard University, and Willforce University speeches in which he declared unqualifiedly for and urged vigorously the best possible education and best possible education for the Negroes if they are honest, and sincerely interested in race advancement, will contend that the influence exerted by the resident for education will have a vast, more important bearing on the uprise of our ten millions of Negroes than an hundred political appointments of high or low degree could have. If the Negro critics will stop and consider the deep interest shown, and the efforts put forth by President Taft to administration, to preserve the independence and to provide for the permanency and progress of the Liberian republic thus affording an opportunity for Negro show and develop his capacity for self-reliance, they will assume, and rightly, too, the cause of the Negro is a matter of deep concern with the President. With Negro critics and those seekers for the temporary abolition to be in political appointments will recall that the President in his annual message to the Congress, advocated the holding of a semicontent of abolition of the American slave from slavery in order that the slave show should be organized and assembled under the auspices of fifty years of freedom perhaps the will be given to give the credit he has earned for a whole desire for race uplift. and also it must not be last night when I'm more different of at least the very means of or negative event it's really to him to even the people of States as a whole. The set must be essential to be still well to be a the white to feel great at the Presence of on the form of having the news tion of being. No though he had received a petition. He did his s of the first gave a makes the one to the end of the year. I'm a good man. I could be at the Wt of the land without politics, since the cause of the latter. Before criticizing the dispensing power the race should at least affect consistency. His appointment of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, an ideally balanced, and splendidly equipped man, as one worthy of public Commissioners, was without just cause because members of the race, not by the whites. The first, and most important term appointment made by the President was that of Robert H. Terrell to a place on the municipal bench, and that appointment, although a re-appointment, was made in the face of strenuous opposition. And strange to say the opposition was entirely on the part of Negroes, though he thought to serve and please. And that opposition was not based on any lack, in Judge Browne's ability, equipment or character, but was supported by an jealous spirit. If appointments of Negroes to office must be met with opposition from within the race the race is, at least, inconsistent if it expects white men to be unanimously in the affirmative for Negro appointments. "Taken as a whole there is much in President Taft's first year for encouragement for the race, and the specific cases I mention stand as incontrovertible proof of his friendship for the race." MONTGOMERY'S GREAT TRIBUTE State Business League Meets on Anniversary of Confederacy—Press Pays Tribute. The second annual meeting of the Alabama State Negro Business League held in Montgomery, February 17 and 18, constituted a remarkable contrast and a wonderful exhibition, looking at it from the viewpoint of history. Looking back exactly forty-nine years furnishes the contrast, looking at the object and work of the League furnishes the wonderful exhibition. Porty-nine years ago, February 17, 1861, forty-two representatives of six States, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida, met in this city. They represented another race and the proudest and bravest blood of the South To-day. February 17, five times that number met, real leaders of another race. Those met in the State Capitol, three blocks distant, at the head of the same avenue. These met in a Negro church on Dexter avenue, three blocks below the Capitol. Those met to adopt a constitution for The Confederate States of America, and to make secure the institution of slavery. These men to form a confederacy of business men to organize and perpetuate economic measures for the elevation of their race. Forty-nine years ago on February 18 those forty-two representatives of six States elected Hon. Jefferson Davis President of the Confederate States of America, and Hon Alexander H. Stephens Vice-President. These on this very day, February 18, elected a president and vice-president of a business league. Forty-nine years ago, February 18, 1861, President Davis delivered his inaugural address. February 18 DrHooker T Washington, in the auditorium of the great Negro Normal School before a cultured audience of Negroes and many white men, delivered a remarkable address, telling his race how to rise in the scale of American citizenship. Then, forty-nine years ago, Virginia sold 120,000 slaves, valued at twelve millions of dollars. February 18, Dr. W. R. Pettiford, president of the National Negro Banking Association, informed the Negro Business League that the Negro banker have been organized in Virginia, eleven in Mississippi and more than fifty have been established in the South with a capital of $1,500,000. Another thing. The great morning and evening papers of the artisocratic white people of Montgomery crowd their columns to the proceedings of the Negro Business League, and make their own address furnished to Washington's address furnished to the press was published and sent out to the world.

Now he owns 2,000 acres of land and his property is valued at £5000. Mr Ruffin told I had only one wife, and when Saturday night came I had only one bundle and I arrived at a bundle to my wife.

FREEDMEN'S AID CONFERENCE Officials of 29 Institutions Propose Changes—Dr. Dutton, President. Special to The New York Age. Nashville, Tenn. March 15—A conference of far-reaching importance of the presidents, deans and officials of the various twenty-three educational institutions of the Freedman's Aid Society was held here in the Mehary Auditorium of Walden University from March 5 to 8. The meeting was presided over by Dr J. A. Kumler, the retiring president of the college presidents of the Freedmen's Society. Bishop J. M. Walden, of Cincinnati, president of the Freedman's Aid Society, Drs. M. C B. Mason and T. J Mavette, general secretaries, Dr C W Bennett, inspector of schools, and Dr Thomas J. Nicholson, of the board of education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the parent body of the Freedmen's Aid Society, were among the officers who attended the conference of the college presidents which was for the purpose of discussing methods of advancing the work of the colleges controlled by the society and to improve upon their management. Promotion of greater interest in establishing Sunday Schools and Mission Schools, cultivating public sentiment and laying of teachers and students to the school by abolishing co-operation of the church school with that of public school, high school, colleges and boards of education, increasing the collections for the schools from the conferences in the patronizing territory and many other important subjects were discussed. Another important feature of the coming together of the heads of the various colleges of the Prepmen's Society and the result of their discussion was the establishment in numerous institutions of a more uniform course of study for the various schools which the study for the various schools which the important step with reference to the numerous students to Mohairy. Mohairy college here was also taken which will be of general interest. In speaking of this that after the conference, Dr Hubbard gave out the following to the Ace correspondent. The time is not far distant when there must be an advance in the requirements of the students of medicine at Mohairy. Either a five-year course in medicine will be required for a one year preliminary course comprising chemistry physics, biology, and perhaps histology and embryology, all to have a laboratory work. If the literary colleges for the colored student could prepare for the teaching of these branches, the medical course might remain as it is present four years. A number of the college presidents of the Prepmen's Society shall sign their willingness to do this procedure they could have one year in which to make such changes in the course of study which should be appropriate. If they are not prepared to do this for the student in medicine, the Medical College will take this as a preliminary course. president, L. and S. H. the Little Rock Ave. R. L. M.

The colored citizens of Nashville who have been actively working to secure the location of the State Colored Normal School for Davidson County to be located near this city held a meeting last Thursday night and took final action with reference to the movement Key Preston Taylor, chairman of the soliciting committee, was instructed to proceed with the soliciting of the city council on Monday night his committee of 100 prominent and influential Negroes formally launched their campaign for raising a suitable sum to be met by a like amount which the County Court of Davidson County and the city council of Nashville is expected to subscribe Hon J C Napier will head the delegation to address the city council which has already signified its willingness to financially assist in the matter, and Dr R F Boyd, with other influential members of the city council, soon to convene, which has like wise, through its chairman expressed a desire to aid in the matter of securing the normal for this county Hon B J Carr, chairman of the Citizens' Association, and who has evinced such great interest in the establishing of the institution near Nashville, accompanied by Rev William Haynes, chairman of the Location Committee.

They made a decidedly favorable impression, especially on the hundreds of visitors to the convention from afar, who while they had heard of the great reputation of the Fisk University singers, had perhaps for the first time been charmed as they seemed to have been, with such singing as only Fisk singers are noted for The students of Vanderbilt University, the leading college of this city (white), were so favorably impressed and charmed with the singing upon the night of their visit to the convention, that they rose in their seats and gave the college yell for "Flask University" amid a great outburst of applause. The Nashville daily newspapers also paid a high tribute to the students' singing, pronouncing it one of the most pleasing features of the great meeting. Out on the splendid farm, a few miles from Nashville, of Hon J C Napier the well-known banker of this city, is a string of canes of colored Ice Kernels, of which there is said to be only four herds extant. These cut the were recently purchased at a stock sale near Galatin, Tenn., and the property of S J Fletcher, an Indian millionaire banker, who died several weeks ago, and was bought by Mr Napier at a handsome figure. Mr Napier has received many congratulations on his purchase, of which he is profoundly grateful. He is also received many offers and is still receiving them, from would-be purchasers of his fine string of cattle and while they are in many instances far in excess of the pride paid he has persistently refused to sell and states that the cattle were bought by him for the purpose of keeping on his farm in Bishan Iane Lane, of the Colored Methodist Ipscipal Church and his son, Prof J.

SUES UNDER THE MALBY ACT Two suits have been instituted in the civil courts of New York City growing out of the ejection of James J. Davis, 41 West 133d street, from Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre on the afternoon of March 11. As told in last week's issue of THE AX, Mr. Davis, accompanied by his wife, purchased tickets for the first floor. They were refused seating accommodations upon presenting their coupons to the ushers. An argument ensued in which Mr. Davis did a neat disappearing act from the lobby of the theatre into the street, making his record-breaking trip through space without the least bit of physical effort on his part. Counsellor James L. Curtis, 116 West 53d street, representing Mr Davis, brought the first cause of action in the Municipal Court against Oscar and William Hammerstein, under the Malby act, the petitioner asking for $500 damages for the denial of the full enjoyment of rights and privileges in place of public accommodation and amusement. The second suit was filed in the City Court, in which the plaintiff seeks to recover $2,000 damages for assault inflicted on him at the Victoria Theatre 2 JAMES J. DAVIS while the employees of the defendants were in the act of ejecting him. In filing suit for $500 damages in the Municipal Court Counsellor Curtis charges a violation of the Malby act, which reads as follows: All persons within the jurisdiction of the State shall be entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, restaurants, hotels, eating houses, bath houses, barber shops, theatres, musio halls, public conveyances on land and water, and all places of public accommodation and amusement. Subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to all citizens. Section 1, Chapter 1042, of the laws of 1895. Indifference of Colored Citizens Although the Malby act has been in force since 1895, it has been about as much service to the Negro citizens of New York City as a moving picture show would be to a blind man. There is some excuse for the Negroes in the South submitting to discriminations, as laws are enacted in many instances with a view to drawing the color line, but in New York the law is in our favor, and yet we fail to take advantage of it. The apathetic attitude shown in the past by the colored citizens of New York City in asserting their civil rights has not been such as to provoke enthusiasm or criticcommendation. Managers of the剧院 and other public places should not be insured too severely when you take into consideration that only a small number of suits have been instituted charging a violation of the Malby law since its enactment. Managers of public accommodation and amusement have about come to the conclusion that the colored citizens will stand for the drawing of the color line, and have been acting accordingly. If ten more suits would be brought at a near date quite a number of seeming set opinions would very soon undergo a radical change. James J. Davis, who has brought two suits against the Hammersteins, made the following statement to the dramatic editor of Tup Agr. By instituting proceedings against the managers of the Victoria Theatre in the Municipal Court, charging a violation of the Malby act, it does not follow that the matter will end in that court if a decision is rendered against me. If I win my case in the Municipal Court, well and good, but if I lose I shall take it to a higher court and give it an opportunity to make a ruling as to whether a citizen of color should be denied admission to the first floor of a theatre after having purchased tickets for that part of the house. Let a few more of our colored citizens emulate the example of James J. Davies and find out if the Malby act is on the statute books as an ornament or to be enforced! MUSIC AND THE STAGE LESTER A.

Great men have invariably been rebuked and misquoted, especially misquoted, in print, by people who are hardly capable of the undertaking, but in so small a case as differences about J. Ed. Green's career, etc., which hardly warrants any repetition. I will reply in brief to Mrs. Green's published article as well as to the rant of a not over wise very young actor. Mrs. Green tells us that her late husband was not 40, but 38 years old, to which I apologize. About the play "Capin Rufus" I will answer further along. Carefully omitted all of Mr Green's private affairs, but I will have actors to know that the late Senator Thomas C Platt had all the history of his life both private and public told in full on the next morning after his death. Mrs. Green stated the following sentence, which I will answer "The critic never called to see Mr. Green during times of illness, but he can only write from the information of others, and he thinks" It is true that I did not call to see Mr. Green and it was I who sent word to his wife to that effect, adding that I would have seen him if the benefit had been given, and I am told by good authority that Mr Green much missed appointed and grieved when much that the benefit proposition was off. It is almost useless to state that I knew Green well before he ever met his wife. In regards to the article by a young man, part actor, part writer, but with no particular occupation, who accuses me of doing Mr Green an in-depth own account of Green's history, which appeared in two newspapers, Mr Green was not the author of "A Trip to the Jungles" The play was written by Bob A Kelley for Madame Flower. When the Jungle company stranded Mr Kelley sent the play to Green, Bob and said to Peter the Company. Think of a young man just out of school and with no reputation at all or even experience asking the public such twinkle as this' 'I must ask (the) apology of the readers for attempting to answer a man who is so bigoted and not recognized by the aspiring showman, and reached the top, and reached the top, and for the benefit of those who have contributed a meal or a dollar or so for a write-up by Mr Russell and think his writings are true I would say that "Captain Rufus" and The Shoo Fly Regiment are similar dice to the fact that he and both men were not but his fact does not signify that one was stolen from the thief.' Now isn't that amusing and a true case of a zealous young man unconstantly making a fuss over the critics. But let us some right down to facts. Here is the exact history of "Captain Rufus" Mr Green. Mr Green plays the character. He told us with his own lips that he wrote it in a hurry and put it together quicker than anything he ever undertook. But he had reference to the Pekin Theatre when he told me that, for he had to supply a new play. If he wrote the play in 1804 he changed it wonderfully when he heard of Cole and Johnson's military scenes and he mentions it and I get it on good authority that a certain actor covered Cole and Johnson's military scenes and brought them to Mr. Green, which can easily be proved by Bob Cole and certain other actors, and that is why the military scenes of both shows were accurately the same when both companies appeared at the same time in the late 1800s on music from the late Ernest House. "Rufus Rastus" had some of that company's dialogue in it. Regarding Mr. Greens financial affairs, it is true that Mrs. Green contributed to his support, if she would like to have it mentioned, and also to the support of her little son in New York, who is working with the Masons who contributed to him beyond the extent of common allowance through the influence of Dr. Brown, his friend and physician, and who, without a doubt, was the greatest factor in all of his financial benefits during his illness. Mr. Green was not a member of the Masons, but Elke Small sums of money are said to have been loaned for Mr. Green by a white man who thicked his latest venture to the extent of $200, expecting to get it back in a lawsuit now pending, and in which Dr. Brown is interested. But the prediction that the man would send $500 to another engagement writer is the capacity limit of a faithful writer. Here is the limit of this young man's Here is the limit of this young man's judice rejection. He says, Now another responsibility, the self-styled critic shoulders was the proposal benefit for the deceased at the Pekin to which Mr Green was appointed even if Mr Motts had been kind and had been Mr Green's dispatched. It had been Mr Green's office there were the theatres in Chicago offered for the purpose." Right here I must brand that entire statement as false. The fact is that Mr Green was penniless as when he fell ill and the Masons. His friends, including the young writer and other people Mrs. Green mentioned, did practically nothing. Mr Green was kept in the dark as to Green's actual condition, but contended that Green's interest was only centered in the expectation of the outcome of the lawsuit. Both Dr Brown, Manager Motts and myself have been done an injustice by this afterlap, but Green's "gont" sounded and sounded me and even asked me to ask a saw Dr Brown, who after an interview was fully in favor and eager to have a benefit. Although it was a disappointment when my interview with Mr Motts was retarded, I still felt that Mr Green would have been willing. In the meantime the deceased's friends allowed that they would give him a benefit, but it was all talk; they did nothing. Dr Brown even tried to keep the news from Mr Green, and when matter heard that the plans were off he was deeply grieved as I stated before. There were no theaters at the disposal of Mr. Green's friends at any time, nor did any of them have money or influence enough to bring any such person to the theater, ashamed to tell the true story of the ways of actors, but duty and justice demand that I must, but the expense is dear, for it reduces the sad death of an actor to a burlesque. When S. H. Dudley announced that he had been hired as a writer in California at his own expense it dwindled down that Mr. Green had received 816 from the Smart Set Company collection to which Dudley contributed. Then the news came that Mr. Green was going to Indianapolis. In the meantime, he was waiting on Mr. Motte and phoned Dr. Browning to hold us a trip. The doctor was at home, so I wrote him, then went to see him, only to learn that the benefit proposition had not prevailed. It would have been far better if there had been no reprisal. Finally, in regard to Mr. Green's public history everybody can rest assured that my obituary notice was all correct, that Green was not original as a rule, but a very talented stage producer, and an actor of fair ability. But he was also a good plato and reviser. It matters not at all about the deaths of public men covering up their life's history. it is only the truth that leads to light. Truth alone points the way. The Theatre Hat. One of the Philadelphia papers has recently devoted considerable space to bewailing the fact that the ladies of that city persist in wearing the immense and bizarre creations known as "Merry Widow" hats at the theatres, making it next to impossible for people seated behind them to get more than a passing glimpse of what is goin on gon on the stage. There appears to be no ordinance prohibiting the wearing on the stage. There appears to the management of some of the theatres prints on the program that it is "earnestly hoped that the lady patrons will remove their hats during the performance." Needless to say that this modestly expressed hope has been utterly disregarded. When years ago our Louisiana Legislature passed a law known as the "high-hat bill," prohibiting the wearing of hats in theatres, there was much fun poked at the author of the measure, and it was at first received with no little ridicule.

Family Tree of Big Fighters. Says Goldberg in the New York Evening Mail "Rosevelt's life may have been inspected from every possible angle from the butt on the world. The photographers may have used up millions of dollars worth of drugs in snapping his familiar face. But no life in American history with the exception of Washington and Lincoln, have been dissected, overhauled and annotated, upon whom the eyes of the sporting world have been resting for many months. "Not a single minute of Jerry's life has been overlooked by the industrious hispanus. They have even dug up his family tree by the river. At different German Swedish, Turkish and Italian, if Chennai they have Jeff down as a combination of Scotch and Dutch, with the accent on the Dutch, which he gets from his mother. This is all very interesting. But if Jeff succeeds in attracting Johnson—or even the average fox fan will not care if he is descended from a boiled onion "The faithful choreclubs have kept away from the life of Jackson who knew the big attraction. The reason for this is asking enough Johnson is colored. "If, by any chance, some writer starts to carry the coloured chameleon he is really an Eskimo with a dash of Swedish and Hindu blood in his veins.

This action is one of the worst plays with Matthew W Gilbert and the members of the Mount Olivet Baptist Church, which began in 1807 and culminated in the arrests of many of the members of the sold church by the pastor, Matthew Gilbert, on the 2d day of February, 1908. In the complaint of Fleming W Jackson, he alleged that he was slandered by defendant, Matthew W Gilbert, who is the pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist Church. He was served on the defendant on the 24th day of February, 1910, and the defendant failed to appear, answer or demur. When the time came he obtained an order to extend his time, and at the expiration of which made an application to the court for a hearing to enable him to prepare his answer. This motion was heard by Mr. Justice Finleitha of the City Court* City of New York, and after hearing Morton K Averill, the attorney for Matthew W Gilbert, the defendant, and Samuel F Edmond of 39th Gates Avenue Brooklyn and the plaintiff in opposition to backslash the plaintiff in opposition to application the justice promptly denied the defendants application for a bill of participants and so the defendant has now to answer without the expected bill of participants. The justice in denying Gilberts application for a bill of participants writes the motion against the defendant amount other than the defendant makes this motion. The plaintiff should not serve him with a bill of participants of the facts alleged in this complaint to enable him to prepare his answer. From the answering affidavits, it appears that the defendant is in default for the plaintiff's answer but the defendant contends that an order had been granted to him on the 2d day of March, 1910, to the 4th day of March, 1910, within which to plead. Instead of pleading an ordar THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1910 to show cause was obtained and returnable on the 7th day of March, 1910. in which order, defendant wished six days after the service of an order in the case of the plaintiff to answer. "A bill of particulars is not ordered except under very extraordinary circumstances prior to joining of issue, and this for the obvious reason that a party has no necessity for a bill of plaintiff's claim. Not is a single fact is here stated which would justify the order 1 am of the opinion that the defendant is not acting in good faith from the actions in these proceedings the motion must therefore be denied with ten ($10) dollars costs to the plaintiff" This is a victory for Fleming W Jackson over Matthew W Gilbert, and it's only a foretaste of what the case will be in final hearing. Matthew W Gilbert is finally hearing to open default, and in a few days we will know his fate —Adv Struggles of the Metropolitan Mercantile Company Durable Last Few Years Entering as we are upon our spring campaign to restore confidence and increase the business of the company, we deem it proper at this time to make relations to the public of our struggling during the period of present condition. Countless numbers have watched with great interest the career of the company during the panic, fearing the worst. These fears were first created when other large companies were failing; companies were unpaid and millions were supported by the wealthy ones of the land, and conducted by men of ripe business experience, men who had risen from office boys to clerks, from clerks to managers, from managers to directors and to presidents, were kept alive by the persistent circulation of rumors that were as malicious as they were false. But as each day found the company still holding its own, the great majority looked on with an approval and with admiration. But how many were there who have only one impression of the business brought by the directors and officers during this critical period just ended? The public I believe will never realize the struggle the nerve-racking nurses have to face in setting by persistent creditors in the outside confronted at all times by irresponsible knackers, who do nothing but knock, are conditions which but few would dare to fire. But not understandably, the nurses are in a normal condition. Prior to the year 1908 we had never had a foreclosure of any of our mortgages, we had never lost a property, we had never lost a property, we think is not a bad record. In the summer of 1955 we found ourselves in a trying position caused by the inactivity in real estate and sale of stock. We had a number of small mortgages falling due on properties of the State of New York on the one hand, and were in the midst of the building of our Home Office on the other. In the case of the home office many of the constructors had earned a large part of their money, on contracts for non-payment. Had they gone unsatisfied we would have lost the home office building, which would have meant at that time a loss of about seventy thousand dollars to the stockholders, and the stockholders would have been trusteeship for the company. Fortunately we were able to protect both. We had only one foreclosure in that year, and the stockholder in that case was very reasonable. We adjusted the difference out of court. He took the same note as the loss which he had sustained and the notes were duly paid. The year 1999 was more disastrous. But the fortunate part of it is, the company has lived through it. Every large company must charge up each year something to losses. But if the company is not progressing During that year we were nearing the completion of our home office building, and the situation because of that fact became more acute Again it was a question of protecting individual properties or the home of building owners, and far as our induced income would permit, but when that was no longer possible we felt that the interest of over six thousand stockholders demanded the protection of the home office building and the preservation of the company. But even at that losses were not in the scope of the company's operations, and the depressed financial conditions. The largest loss was a Mount Vernon property, which we bought in the year 1906. This property consisted of a house and lot, and three additional buildings, the company tended erecting modern apartment houses for our people. The company paid on this property Six Thousand. Three Hundred and Sixty-seven Dollars, and had received from the stockholder who had purchased the house and one of the lot taxes two thousand and one hundred dollars on the purchase price. We have recently learned that the stockholder who lost the house intends buying the same direct from the owning company, and referred to. We are glad to know that our loss is our stockholder's gain. We are glad to know also that he never lost possession of the house. He is paying $75 per month there. Consider the rent he would have paid during the year 1906 as a purchase from March 1906. Whatever equitable dTERENCE exist between us we do adopt amicably. The company stands for what is right. It believes it is a square deal. The thinking mind will compile the conduct of the directors during hard times with its conduct of proactive measures and the conduct of proactive measures all for as possible, and reimbursed them whenever they suffered losses or made an effort to adjust differences will give the public an idea of the character of the institution. The home office building is now completed and furnished the first home that the race has had in the City of New York for its secret societies. Inaugurated Mascone Old Hollywood Knights of Patterson, Filas and other organizing It has a rental value of over $9,000 a year. An office is on pay off the bills against the building and the tenants will we are sure help pay off all the debt. The Home Office Building is worth about the Hundred and Twenty five Thousand Dollars and this together with its out of New York buildings. Plainfield trust. Hull and other holdings. Will show the poll that although the waves battered us during the storm of the last two and one half years, we come through safely and with the cooperation of the stockholders and the so-called trustees. It is titled and should have, we will win out. Steadfastness and a determination to win is our platform. The future is most encouraging. OPOLITAN MERCANTILE & REALTY COMPANY.

Johnson OUT-OF-TOWN CORRESPONDENCE TO FIGHT PYTHIANS Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythians of New Jersey, Objects to Negro Order in State—War to Be Made on Colored Pythians in Legislature. Special to THE NEW YORK AQU. Trenton, N. J., March 23—War is soon to be made on the Negro, Pythians of New Jersey. At the recent session of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythians, held recently in this city, the question of making a fight to prevent Negro organizations in the State from using the name of Knights of Pythians was discussed. It was decided to leave the subject to be dealt with by the grand tribunal, which will prepare a bill to be introduced in the Legislature making it unlawful for any unauthorized organization to be or insignia of Knights of Pythians. It is said that the introduction of such a measure will be followed by a fight such as that of last year, when the order of Elks sought to secure the passage of a law eliminating the colored Elks. The bill was passed, but was not approved by the Governor In the mean time the grand lodge directed that the funds available for the purpose, which have been in the custody of the grand chancellor, be placed under control of the grand master of exchequer.

Baltimore, Md., March 21—The proposal of Oregon Milton Denns, a member of the Public Bath Commission, to close the baths for colored people on Argyle avenue, has met with vigorous resentment from Dennis colleagues on the Bath Commission. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings added to Dennis's discomfiture by giving gurres to show that the alleged lack of appreciation was untrue, there being 19,053 gurres in 1906, when the baths were first opened, and 30,000 last year. Councilman Cummings, masterly array of facts and gurres won for him commendation from white and colored people here It is said that Oregon Milton Dennis has been nursing a grouch against the Negroes of Baltimore since Mr. McMullen lifted him for the City Council in 1907.
