WASHINGTON ON EDUCATION Tuskegeean Gives Views on Subject in Letter to The Age HISPOSITION UNCHANGED Says That the Negro Race Needs All Kinds of Education, and Industrial in Particular Did Not Undertake to Defend Higher Education at Fisk More Financial Aid Needed in the South. In order to THE AGE, wherein D. H. H. Washington takes except for editorial recently appear in this paper in which reference will be made to him making a detailed study of education, the education that he has never changed his position in the subject of education one note that he believes the Negro needs all kinds of education and while more consideration should be given industrial education because the masses of any people are producers, there should also go such training as will fit people for work as teachers and professional men and women. Following is Dr Washington's letter I notice in a recent issue of your paper that you have an editorial referring to me as making a defense of higher education at Fisk University. "This is a mistake. I have never changed my position on the subject of education one iota. I believe that race needs all kinds of education. I larger emphasis should be placed on industrial and technical education, combined with academic training, because the masses of any people are producers. Along with this kind of training, there should go such training as will best fit people for work as teachers and professional men and women. Does Not Undertake to Defend Fisk. "In my article in The Independent, I did not undertake to defend Fisk University or higher education. I never try to defend anything, never defend myself, never defend the Negro race, never defend a Negro institution, and so I did not undertake a defense of Fisk University in my Independent article. Fisk University nor any other institution that is doing effective work needs any defense. What I did try to do was to let the public know something about the history of Fisk University and its high degree of usefulness in sending out throughout the country and the world strong, able men and women I have no patience with the academic and abstract discussion as to the difference between so-called higher and industrial education. The world does not care a snap, so far as my observation goes, where or how a person is educated. The world is interested however, in what a person does with his education. In my careful examination of the work of Leek University and its graduates I have found that the institution is worthy of support and I endorsed it as I have endorsed dozens of other institutions conducted in the interest of what is called the higher education of our race. institutions are not given to the same kind of education, do not use the same methods are not aiming at the same object but they are all aiming at the same object good for exam- ample A B Harvard University study for three or four before he could graduate West Point or An- napolis using the A B degree University would per- haps for two or three years he could get a de- gree of the engineering Institute of Technol- ogy student graduating at West Point or from one of the courses at the In- stitute would perhaps two or three years graduating from one of the institutes of Hor- ward graduating from Tuske- gee to study for a num- ber he could get a diplom Tusk University A student from the academic depart University would have one or two years before get a diploma from any or industrial de- part the Tuskgee Institute what in our method and what living at, but I am sure that Fiat well as Howard and a host of the institutions of the so- called grade are aiming in the and so long as this is them stand by and support THE NEW [Image of a man with a serious expression, wearing a suit and tie.] REPRESENTATIVE J. VAN VECHTEN OLCOTT Who is Championing the Cause of the Colored Public Schools of Washington, D.C. "The simple fact of the matter is that we are not getting money enough for education of any kind in the South Most of our so-called schools of 'higher education' are devoting most of their time to giving pupils the rudiments of an education. In doing this, they are merely performing the work of the public schools While this is true, a certain class of people continue to spend time and effort in discussing the merits of this or that form of education, which is theoretically higher or lower than some other. "My own experience and observation convince me that if many of the heads of institutions who are now seeking money would spend their time and strength in showing what they and their graduates were doing to improve the condition of the masses of the people, instead of discussing the difference between higher and lower education, they would get more support for their own institutions and for education generally than they do" BUCKER STILL IN OFFICE. Special to The New York Ace. Atlanta, Ga., April 12—The Atlanta newspapers last week contained the direct statement that Col H A. Rucker had been removed as Collector and a white man appointed in his stead. Your correspondent based his communication to you on these telegraphic dispatches. As a matter of fact the actual removal has not been accomplished, but further dispatches indicate that it is the intention to remove Collector Rucker within a short while. It is much to be regretted by the voters of Georgia that the administration has decided upon this course, especially in view of the fact that with Collector Rucker's removal not a single Negro will be holding a presidential position in the State of Georgia Washington, D.C., April 14—President Laftis administration is evidently doing all that can be done to push forward Liberian interests. Secretary Kerry has taken the Liberian matter up before the Foreign Affairs Committee on two different occasions within two days, and he made some strict recommendations. Booker I. Washington was in Washington Saturday and had an interview with Secretary Knowl and President Laft concerning Liberia, and both President Laft and Secretary Knox expressed to Dr. Washington the deepest interest in Liberia and stated in uncertain terms that they meant to stand by the Liberian people as this government could do so. There are so many complications surrounding Liberian conditions that each step in looking toward the protection of the republic has to be taken with the greatest care but your correspondent feels sure that nothing is being left out that can be done to protect the interests of the little black republic. REQUESTS TO HAMPTON AND TUSKEGEE. Special to The New York Aor Boston, Mass, April 12--Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute is named as one of the residuary legatees in the will of the late Miss Martha R. Hunt, and Tuskegee Institute is bequeathed $15,000. Miss Hunt died in Somerville, Mass, March 15, leaving nearly $800,000 in public bequests. Three Hundred Additional Appointments to be Made This Week - More Negro Enumerators Than Ever Before. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Washington, D.C., April 12—Director of Census Durand, in a special communication to THE AGE, announces that twelve hundred enumerators have been appointed, and before April 15, when the actual enumeration will begin, three hundred additional enumerators will be addeu to the list. The appointments made up to date have been from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and the District of Columbia. In no previous census were there so many Negro enumerators as will assist in taking the census of 1910. The plan of appointing colored men to take the census of their own people in districts where they constitute two-thirds or more of the total population has been very generally followed and many colored persons of unusual ability have been appointed. The number of Negro enumerators is less than the total of the enumeration districts that will be covered by them. In many cases one colored enumerator will take one of two districts and, in others three. Under this arrangement between 1800 and 2400 districts will have colored enumerators As was to be expected, some汁 culture were met in securing Negro contractors. In some districts protection was made against the appointment of colored men. Such appointments were nevertheless ordered by a director Durand wherever competent man could be secured. Method of Appointing Enumerators In all districts where colored men were entitled to appointment, but were not recommended by the supervisors, the papers of all who had taken the examination were re examined and of any colored applicants had made the required average their appointment was immediately ordered In making this investigation it was found that in some districts, however not all of the number of Negroes entitled to appointment had taken the examination and in other cases they failed to make the required averages, while still other applicants did not reside in the district to be enumerated Negroes are also well represented on the office force of the Census Bureau. There are 109 colored clerks and other employees engaged in general lines of work in the office at Washington and the number is increasing every day. These have been appointed without regard to color and NEW YO-K, THURDAY, APRIL 14, 1910. their work is identically the same as that of the other clerks and employees With a larger number of Negroes enumerators than ever before and with a large representation to the present time on the office force of the Bureau, there is every reason to believe that the present census will be the most satisfactory the colored people have ever had. TRIBUTE PAID TO LIBERIANS Edgar Allen Forbes Believes Hinterland Tribes to Be Superior Morally to New Yorkers—Says United States Should Aid Liberia—Country Needs Mechanics. Special to The New York Age. Baltimore, Md., April 13—Edgar Allan Forbes, managing editor of the World's Work, paid a glowing tribute to Liberians at Sharp Street Memorial M. F. Church last Thursday night, where he delivered an illustrated lecture on Liberia, by declaring that the morals of the tribes in the hinterland were much higher than that of New Yorkers, and that he did not find a single instance in his recent visit there of an Americo-Liberian having lapsed into barbarianism The speaker also paid a glowing tribute to the work Bishop Sops and Ferguson and others are doing for the uplift of the Liberians. He declared that the United States would help Liberia, but not as much as they desired. Incidentally, he highly praised the diplomatic services of Dr. Frost Lyon, the American minister to the West African republic. Editor Forbes stated that Liberia needs men skilled in the trades, but did not advise the emigration to that countries of those who did not have sufficient funds to tide them over for at least two years. He was followed by Bernard Baker, a capitalist of this city, who is said to be willing to invest money in Liberia. Rey W. A. C. Hughes introduced Mr. Forbes declaring him to be a friend to the Liberians. Washington D. C. April 12- Last week the Court of Inquiry that has been investigating the shooting up of Browny Bloxes, on the night of August 13, 14, 1990, made a report that the evidence sustained the charges which led to the dismissal of two companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. The Court of Inquiry has been in session for several months. Section 3 of the report gives a list of culled men who were recommended for reculsment. They are Jones A. Cultran; Edward L. Daniels and Edward Warfield of Company B, Lewis J. Baker; Oifford L. Adair, Henry W. Arvin Calvyn Smith and John Smith of Company C and Robert Williams, Winter Washington, Elas Cant, John A. Luckey, Samuel F. Scott and William Van Hook of Company D. DISC722 LIBERIAN SITTAI03. Washington, D.C. April 12 The future of Liberia is being given serious consideration by Secretary Knox and the members of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate It is thought that the final solution of the situation in Liberia will be a treaty between the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany, to which Great Britain and France would be admitted because of their interest in the questions of boundary, and in which Germany will have a part because of her commercial interests. REV. MILLS TO BE RELIEVED OF CHARGE Will Soon be Removed as Pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church HARMONY TO PREVAIL Bishop Derrick's Side of the Case Told by Rev. J. M. Henderson - Rev. Mills' Successor Yet to be Chosen. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Pittsburg Pa. April 12 - Rev P F Mills is to be removed as pastor of Bethel A M E Church and it is now believed that harmony will once more reign in the church where there has been so much bad feeling and turmoil of late. Following the announcement of the removal of Rev Mills comes a letter from Rev J M Henderson, who has been acting as private secretary to Bishop Derrick for the past year and who was with the Bishop during the riotous scenes which occurred in Bethel Church a few weeks ago. Rev Henderson defends the course pursued by Bishop Derrick in the controversy, and discusses the case as follows Wylie Avenue Church also known as Bethel A M E Church is in some respects unique. Its trustees are custodians of a fund the income of which is nearly $4,000 and the use of which is specified to be for the support of the African Methodist Episcopal Church at Pittsburg. At the time the bequest was made, Wylie Avenue was the only church of the denomination in that city. Since then, partly through aid from this fund, a number of other churches in various portions of the city have been founded and some of them have become useful and distinctly worthy. "Wylie Avenue recognized this fact, said the guests, apprehensively, the income to the various branches as they sprang up. But some years ago this sum of money tempted those not included in the bequest and the matter went to the courts, but resulted in the vindication of Wylie Avenue. This strife sowed certain seeds which have brought forth from time to time just such a sort of talk, rumors, suspicions and evil and an appeal to the matters were tempered with until Bishop Derrick was assigned to the Diocese. He went right at things in the direct way that is so eminently characteristic of him. "All the trouble that has since resulted has been strictly a strife between those who are suspected of having done wrong and those who stood for the just and fair thing. The pastor, Rev. P. E. Mills, who has been repudiated by the church as incompetent, is not accused of anything but of the ability to cope with the situation. The men of the A M E ministry who are able to handle the affairs at that church and bring it out all right. The Rev Mills did his part so far as completing the structure is concerned "But he found vast obligations resting upon the trustees for what had already been done and invoked the aid of the Bishop, and the Bishop in order to help the church meet its demand of more than $2,400 annual interest, issued an order that all the income should for a time be used for the benefit of Wylle Avenue Church, the society that originally was the sole beneficiary. The money which had previously been divided had not gone to the trustees of any of the daughter churches, but had gone to the stewards to help pay pastors' salaries. Some kick was made, but the loyalty of the majority prevailed and all seemed to acquiesce in the policy which armed to save the mother church. "There is not a Pittsburgh pastor nor officer nor member who would object to this sane and just course were it presented and carried out properly, but Rey Milla abused and made enemies of the various pastors and all of the people of his own church who did not accept his life and consequently the elimination came and the community as we' as the members demanded. It is removal. Who Is the Minister to Succeed Hes Milli The only grounds for criticising Bishop Derrick is that he refused to consider the complaints of disgruntled ones until they came to him properly and according to the discipline. After the expression made at the meeting recorded above the problem now is to find the minister who can adjust matters and restore to a church that should have one thousand attendants enough to fill the pews now filled by the agents or so who have recently attended. The people in large majority desired a change of pastors last year but were misled in the method and manner of securing it. Bishop Derrick was the guest of the pastor when at Pittsburgh and those who opposed the pastor were reluctant to call upon the Bishop at the parsonage, the result was that the Bishop only had a chance to see and hear of one side of affairs. Recent events have established a precedent and the laymen will now always know that if the properly proclaimed complaint, they will not only be heard but will receive just consideration. "Wyle Avenue has solved the problem and will undoubtedly have a new pastor whom one suited can be found. Very likely some one of experience and ability may be found who is willing to supply the charge until the conference six months hence and by then some one to be found. There is no church of the race that is quite equal to Wylie Avenue if properly pastored. No pastor has a right to be a trustee, a steward, a Sunday school superintendent, or to dictate minute affairs in any central work. The pastor is the general church and all the church stays in his place and cause all to stay in and perform the full duty of the places allotted to them. "Should any one question the accuracy of the above statements, and feel enough interested to investigate, write to Noble Tribute, 93 Elm street, Pittsburgh, who is one of the leading officers and a man of intelligence, or to Robert Jackson a prominent officer and citizen 424 Claybourne street, or to any Pittsburgh lawman the lawman "Bishop Derrick has had bravery to do the right thing and to brave the storms. He may not make any appointment to fill the vacancy until conference, but he will try to find some one to supply until then." NO GENERAL DISSATISFACTION Ministerial Union of A. M. E. Church Tells of Situation in Sixth Episcopal District, Georgia-Affairs of Morris Brown College Discussed in Resolutions. Atlanta, Ga. April 12—At the regular meeting of the Ministerial Union of the A M E Church last week resolutions were adopted wherein the internal affairs of the church in the Sixth Emscopal District were discussed as follows We your committee appointed by the Ministerial Union of the A M E Church, Altanta, Ga., to state our position in reference to certain rumors and newspaper reports in The Age, etc., in reference to the condition of the internal church affairs and matters of administration in the Sixth Emscopal District, do hereby declare ourselves We simply state facts, not theories or even our wishes, hopes or fears, all that we state is without either the knowledge, instigation, or consent of the Bishop of the district, or, so far as we know, of any of the persons who are accused of being creators of any alleged dissatisfaction. If one was acquainted with the true condition of our church affairs in Georgia he would have good reason to suppose, from certain newspaper reports, that the Sixth Episcopal District was in the institution a great extent that many of the ministers are dissatisfied with their treatment at the hands of the Bishop; that affairs at our chief school, Morris Brown College, are in a serious and unfavorable condition, and in that there is widespread dissatisfaction in the state with the policy of the administration. We deplore the spread and persistency of these rumors. There are, roughly speaking, about 1,000 an Episcopal District and outside of three men, who have dissatisfied themselves on record as being dissatisfied with the administration of affairs, we are unacquainted with any others who are disaffected. To be sure there are some preachers who may be dissatisfied with their present appointments, but this is quite common to Methodism and we are only surprised that there is not a larger number Impartial Investigation Asked. So far as Morris Brown College is concerned, there have been over 900 students this term. Dr. Lee's administration has been a pronounced success. He is competent, qualified, and has shown marked executive ability. Reports show that there never was a larger attendance at this season of the year. The work of repairing the damage to the main building caused by fire January 11, has been completed, in addition to which a steam heating plant has been installed. There is peace among the faculty and discipline, as records show, was never better. We challenge and court a full and impartial investigation of the truth of our assertions, and in support thereof we will guarantee to pay the total expense of the trip, from any part of this country, of any reputable churchman who will come to this state investigate conditions and find from one end of the state to the other, three charges that are in opposition to the administration of Bishop Smith or who have any just cause of complaint thereof. We are making this statement in connection with all parties concerned, and with an eye angle to the best interests of our beloved Zion in the Grand Old Sixth Episcopal District. Signed Committee, H D Canady, President of Committee, R V Branch, W G Alexander, R A Whitfield, D H Porter, and C M Tanner, secretary ORIO PASSKS ANTI-LYNCHING BILL. Special to The New York Age. Cleveland, O. April 12 -The bill introduced in the Legislature by the Hon H T Eubanks, member from Cuyahoga County, compelling the sheriff of any county in Ohio to do his duty in case of mob violence or be immediately discharged from office, passed in the Senate last week by a unanimous vote. The bill recently passed the House and needs only the signature of Gov. Harmon to become a law. Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENT GOV. CROTHERS VETOES MEASURE Infamous Diggs Bills Fail to Become Law in Maryland Baltimore Daily Papers and Conservative Democrats Against Disfranchisement Scheme PROPERTY QUALIFICATION Democrats Will Submit Plan to Make It Necessary for Negro Voters to_Own $500 Worth of Property. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Baltimore, Md., April 14—The unexpected has happened in that Gov. Crothers has announced that he will not sign the notorious Digges bills providing for the disfranchisement of the Negro voters in State and municipal elections in Maryland. It was not because the Governor believes any less in race disfranchisement, but because the Digges bills were strongly opposed by all of Baltimore's daily papers and some of the most influential Democrats in the State. The discovery that the denial of the right to register would probably mean that the United States authorities might jail the registration officials who would have obeyed the mandates of the hastily conceived measure of the Democratic politicians of this State was another reason Gov. Crothers vetoed the measure. ```markdown ``` William L. Marbury, of this city, who first advanced the idea of refusing the Negroes the right to register, advocating a measure specific, denying to the race the right to vote, had to eat crow at the finish, because he found the measure in conflict with the revised statutes of the United States. Crothers Believes in Disfranchisement. Gov Crothers, in his message to the Legislature, strongly advocated the disfranchisement of the race, and declared that he did not believe the Fifteenth Amendment was binding on Maryland, as this State did not vote for its ratification. The refusal of the Governor to sign the Digges bills means that the election for Mayor of Baltimore will be held next spring, instead of the fall of 1911. It also means that the Wilson laws, giving to Democrats an unfair advantage in some of the counties, will continue in force. It also means that the Democrats will have the hardest fights for supremacy since the Civil War in the Mayoralty election here in May, 1911, and in the Gubernatorial election in November, 1911. Strenuous Times Ahead for Democrats. The Democratic politicians have hif upon a scheme to test their refusal of registration plan as embodied in the Digges bills. It is to have some Democratic registration official refuse to vote favorably for the placing of some colored man's name on the registration books, and as he will be outvoted by his colleagues, to make a test vote and carry the case to the courts for final test. A constitutional amendment which provides that only colored men paying taxes on $500 worth of property he allowed to vote, will be submitted to the people in 1911. As it is plainly unconstitutional, and unlike any other Southern State, there are thousands of white people here opposed to disfranchisement, it will have a hard row to hoe. The scheme to disfranchise the Negro voters here has again turned the country's eyes to the disfranchisement question, and disfranchisement and its ensils may again become an issue. This is indicated by editorials in leading journals throughout the country opposing the Digges bills and by the fact that the Republicans of Maryland are determined to test the grand-father's clause in the election law of Annapolis, which practically disfranchises all of the Negro voters in municipal elections in Maryland's State capital. WHITES TO PATRONIZE BANK. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Montgomery, Ala. The first Negro bank to be opened in Montgomery, received $10,350 in cash deposits on its opening day. The officers of the bank are as follows President, Nathan Alexander; cashier V H Tulane, directors, J H Fagin, Dr A C Dungee, Dr D H C Scott and S C Sheppard. The white people of the city seem greatly pleased at the venture, and have assured the officers and directors of their co-operation NEGRO CARMEN LOSE JOBS. Cleveland, O., April 12—The Negroes of this city are up in arms over the wholesale dismissal of Negro conductors and motormen. Only one Negro remains, and it is said that he will lose his job soon.

Communion was administered to 441 persons at the evening service—the largest number of communicants that has ever presented themselves at a similar service. Several children were christened during the day and a goodly number united themselves with the church. The Floral Circle, vicing with the other organizations in their attempts at making the pastor welcome, deco- rated the pulpit with flowers and presented Dr. Brooks with a beautiful bouquet at the end of the evening service. Friday evening, April 15, a union prayer meeting will be held at Abyssinia Baptist Church, at which time certain members of St Mark's, who so desire it, will be baptized by immersion.

The New York Tribune in a recent issue under the flaming headline, "Liberia's Misrule," publishes a London dispatch seeking to show that the Liberians do not deserve the sympathy and support of the American Government in their efforts to set their house in order and take their proper place among the nations of the world. This particular dispatch is based upon an interview with one Frank Braham, "the English manager of the Liberian Development Company." On reading the report of the American Commission to Liberia, we gather that this Liberian Development Company is the particular concern responsible at this time for Liberia's plight Braham, we understand, was one of the managers of that ill-starred company, which promised so much to Liberia and did so little The New York Tribune is in very sorry business to be aiding and abetting such fellows as Braham in their efforts to beuddle the public at the time when the mismanagement of the Liberian Development Company is being looked into and exposed to the world. We make this statement particularly because, to begin with, the New York Tribune is supposed to be a rampant administration organ, because further, its owner is the present American Ambassador to Great Britain and is the man who will most likely be charged with carrying out some of the desires of the State Department. It would seem as if delicacy should suggest to the Tribune that it should try to aid President Taft and Mr. Knox, instead of antagonizing them. It seems, further, that Mr. Whitelaw Reid, American Ambassador to Great Britain, should at least suggest to the Tribune that this is not the time for it to be trying to whitewash the people who have exploited Liberiz almost to its undoing The report of the American Commission to Liberia, composed of disinterested individuals, shows that the statements published in the Tribune, based upon the interview with Braham, are wholly false. Liberia has her faults. These the Commission does not hesitate to point out, but we should like to see the Tribune with its peculiar relations, helping on the administration program, instead of trying to hinder and thwart it SERVING HIS STATE. Hon. H. T. Eubanks, the Negro member of the House of Representatives from Cuyahoga County in the Ohio Legislature, has been serving well not only his own race but his State. The most notable work that he has done has been his anti-lynching bill. He has also introduced other timely legislation which has nothing to do with his race. Notable among these are a bill creating a service fund for the board of education of Cleveland and another in the interest of county commissioners and their right to accept county property When the Negro legislator, like Mr Eubanks, recognizes that he is not only a Negro but an American, their presence and their activities will not be looked upon as offensively racial and partisan. Accordingly the bill introduced by Mr. Eubanks designed to prohibit mob law in Ohio passed the Legislature almost without opposition He has touched the vital spot in his antlynching bill by making it incumbent upon sheriffs to protect their prisoners at the peril of their positions. This measure should have a most wholesome effect on the preservation of law and order in the Buckeye State. In being the father of the law, vital in its value to the welfare of Ohio, Mr Eubanks has benefited both his race and his great State. ANOTHER NEGRO BANK Our news letter from Montgomery, Alabama, tells of another Negro banking institution that has been started in that city. The first day's cash deposits are over ten thousand dollars. This indicates that tremen- some programs in these states to help people in the Southern States. Banks and other commercial institutions are being started at such a rapid rate that it is almost impossible to keep track of them. The Negroes in the Southern States are setting the members of our race worthy examples. They should be followed in every part of the country A WISE GOVERNOR. By vetoring the Digges Disfranchising bill Gov. Crothers, of Maryland, has not only saved his fellow Democrats from their own folly but he has spared the Supreme Court of the United States from the painful duty of deciding the political status of the Negro. With the most audacious nullification of the Federal Constitution written by a Southern Legislature since the Civil War, and that in the very shadow of the National Capitol, the elusive Federal judiciary seemed cornered from which it could no longer sidestep a decision. They had squarely joined again the dead issue of the supremacy of the nation over the States The Democratic leader of the Maryland Legislature announced "We are going to abide by the Constitution of Maryland as distinguished from the Constitution of the United States" In current and hasty consideration the radical move upon the part of Maryland will pass simply as a piece of Southern political folly. Even as such it seemed destined to be of great value in forcing America to reassert or revoke the Negro's equal citizenship. But this action was of far more significance. The South has become emboldened by the trend of recent events, and wary of election restraint the Democrats of Maryland thought the time opportune to show their hand. That Southern sentiment has not yet become reconciled to the equality of the Negro before the law. It has never in practice done other than nullify and ignore that law. Taking this hour of national deference, if not indifference, under the leadership of Maryland it strenuously seeks to enact into direct provision the practices of which the rest of the nation has long been cowardly cognizant. That South will not, can not and must not succeed. As in the past she is simply frittering away her time, stuffing her industry and building race fires Absurd and antedated as was their attempt, Gov Crothers in squelching the mad effort of his fellow Democrats, showed himself both wise and courageous BRYAN YET LEADS William Jennings Bryan, the Boy Orator of the Platte, still leads his party, if Democratic editors may speak. The Chicago Tribune, following its poll of Republican editors, took a canvass of the Democratic editors of the country as to their Presidential preferences for 1912. The almost incredible record is that he is favored for renomination by 418 editors, while Gov. Harmon, of Ohio, has 414 votes; Roosevelt, 159, ex-Gov Folk, of Missouri, 93, and Mayor Gaynor, of New York, 39 Mayor Gaynor's boom is as yet local and in its incipiency. The remarkably large number of Roosevelt favorites only indicates again that indefinable hold which the ex-President has upon the hearts of the American masses. The story of Gov. Humon of the Buckeye State is unquestionably in the record. But the radical elements of his party will doubtless look to a more radical candidate as the standard bearer of Democracy in 1912 Gov. Marshall, of Indiana, though not in the running, more nearly expresses this demand than Gov. Harmon But William Jennings Bryan in 1912, as heretofore, will either land or dictate the nomination. His is the potent influence that has kept Democracy divided and disheartened since his erection of the Cross of Gold in 1896. His popularity to day is both a revival and a survival of that influence. His has been the siren song that has led the cohorts of Democracy to destruction for nearly a score of years. Upon the same shoals their ship seems destined to break again. OGDEN PARTY IN ARKANSAS. OGDEN PARTY IN ARKANSAS. News dispatches from Little Rock indicate a most successful meeting of the Southern Educational Conference which was recently held in that city under the leadership of Robert C. Ogden. All of the speakers seem to have taken strong ground in favor of the education of all of the people of all races. This is as it should be. It is fortunate that this conference held its meeting this year in Little Rock, where the visitors could have an opportunity of seeing one of the best school systems for the education of the Negro anywhere in America, and where the visitors could also see evidence of the business and religious progress of our race developed to a high point. When Teddy meets the Kaiser, then comes the tug of war. Pearson's Magazine has for several months been making a hard struggle to get itself in the Southern States by stirring up racial strife. It has published and republished every fool incident that it could get its hands on with a view of creating circulation in the South, based upon racial prejudice and hatred, but the South has refused to be stirred by Pearson's Magazine. Not a Southern newspaper so far as we have observed has given the slightest attention to the vaporings of Pearson's. The fact is, that Tillman and Vardaman have long ago preempted this field of activity, and so good an editor as James Creelman, who is now connected with Pearson's, ought to have known that Mr Creelman should know that even Vardaman and Tillman have completely run out of racial ammunition based on racial strife and hatred, even they cannot stir the South any more. Mr Creelman and the Pearson's Magazine people should be utterly ashamed of the depths to which they have sunk their publication We advise them to reform and learn a lesson from this base attempt to create friction From motives of profit as well as patriotism, Pearson's might take higher ground EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS.

All of which reminds us that the Negro always comes up strong in the rear, and further that it is time for a Negro rival for flying machine honors. At the call of Governor Patterson of Tennessee under the authority of the Tennessee Legislature the Southern milling interests and labor organizations conferred in Memphis on April 12 on the question of uniformity of legislation affecting child labor and the employment of women. The South never needed to get together to affect uniform legislation toward her political children." TANEY ON THE NEGRO What the Chief Justice Said About His Rights in Dred Scott Case. Mrs William Forse Scott in discounting Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt's statement that Daniel Webster had said "the Negro has no rights which the white man was bound to respect," says that this was said by Chief Justice Taney five years earlier (1857) in the Dred Scott case. This is a reflection upon Chief Justice Taney which is hardy far, even at this late day. What he did say in his common was this "It is difficult at this day to realize the state of public opinion in relation to the unfortunate race which prevailed in a civilized and intelligent portion of the world at the time of the Declaration of Independence and when the Constitution of the United States was framed and adopted. They had for more than a century been regarded as beings of an inferior order, altogether unfit to associate with the white race in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect, and that the Negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit." It will be noted that the Chief Justice was not expressing his opinion, but stating the condition of the public mind. the Chief Justice's personal feelings in regard to slavery, it may be stated that he opposed it, and when he inherited the slaves owned by his father he set them all free. Possibly John Marshall's worthy successor needs no defense now, but it is just as well to get a good man right with those who don't know — Ex 15 AN OCTOBOON WHITE Louisiana Judge Says Yes, Times Says It Must Not Re. Louisiana is waiting with an eye, for a decision from its Supreme Court as to the relative efficiency of white and black blood in determining the racial status of a person who possesses a share of both strains. Local opinion, custom and law have hitherto agreed in holding that the black, and not the white, blood settled the question, and the octoroon, no less than the quadron and the mulatto, has been considered a Negro. But Judge Chreteen of the Louisiana District Court recently took the novel ground that one Josephine Lightell, an octoroon, had so little Negro blood that in the eyes of the law she was a white woman If this decision stands it will open many doors now closed to the "colored" people, and will break down not a few of the barriers that have been laboriously erected between the two races—barrers that are to the advantage of both in the estimation of many who have given careful study to the subject. Not only would such a holding tend to promote miscegenation, with all its disastrous consequences, but it will open the white schools to many children now excluded from them, and it will render difficult or impossible the enforcement of what are called Jim Crow laws in public conveyances. It can hardly be questioned that, however it may be in countries where there are few Negroes, in the South, where they are many, it is the black rather than the white blood that is the practically determining factor. The mulatto is regarded as just as much a Negro in everything except color, as it is here pure Māsica, and it seems to be the general impression that, with exceptions it comes the mixture of the two blood complexes as the lower and the higher qualities of each. The man, however, is only one of stating that the white Southricer, particularly, likes more to be considered a Negro in quantities and ambitions which, in turn, it seems that is likely to keep him. We never do the best work. Supreme Court is it certain that the people who instill will outlive it. If any recognizable trace of black blood is documentary at race, the whole social system is developed before and since the war depends upon the maintenance of the contention, and that is strengthened and unified as stronger all through the South now than ever before. It is based on the instinct of self preservation, and against that argument is vain. The New York Times. NO SUBSTANTIAL INJUSTICE Engle Says Procedure Was Irregular Though Soldiers Were Guilty. The United States Army Court of Inquiry which under the Foraker bill, has been carefully investigating all the facts as to the shooting up of Brownville, Texas, on the night of August 13, 1906, has rendered its report, and finds against the accused Negro soldiers on all points. The report has little practical effect save to satisfy the demand for a further probing, since the three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were long ago discharged without honor for returning to give information. Incidentally fourteen of the discharged men are recommended for permission to re-enlist, because of personal blamelessness in the matter. Many colored men throughout the United States doubted whether the soldiers had had fair treatment from the War Department. They did not believe that white men would have been so dismissed the service without court-martialing. The question as to the President's power to do what was done is still open. It is strictly a legal question logically a man who enlists in the army who cannot terminate his service, at will he will be terminated and not be harmed. So, after an initial trial with right to be heard, so that extent may fair-minded men will agree with the view of Mr. Foraker the country, however, will accept the finding of the court of inquiry as conclusive evidence that no substantial misuse was done in the Brownville use. Brooklyn Eagle Civic Responsibility for Public Education The question of own responsibility for public education is very serious. Its importance cannot be overstated, nor its duties sagged yet. The obligations of the citizen are personal they are also both ethical and legal. They touch base at every point the house, society, the church in the State. The outbreak of social and political affairs in this country it present is omnious. It would be easy to make statements of condition method enough to suit the visor of the deepest prejudice. They appear on every side, and while they are on every side, they are on as well. Prominent among these issues are questions of employee and employer, the rights of property, the rights of labor, the duties of intelligence to ignorance, of race to race responsibilities to the unfortunate, to blind, the deaf the insane, the criminal. Surely the black cat alone sometimes almost drives a nest soul to the brink of despair, especially when it is remembered that the port of all trouble is chargeable to low ethical standards. There is a remedy that quite within our grasp, and it is to be found in an enlightened world consciousness and honest citizenship in standards of civic duty and responsibility—that will lead each man and each woman to seek the line of duty. Such seeking will find the line of duty, and it will lead straight into the public school—Rohbert C Ogden before Southern Education Board The Freedmans Bank When the concern failed to owe $2,939,095 22 to 0,131 depositors Under a Federal Commission dividends aggre- gating 02 per cent, have been declared and of this $1,648,181 27 has been claimed this leaves $1,911,744 50 still unpaid.

Charleston Messenger It is a matter of inspiration to draw around the city and have pointed out to seven the large number of four homes and well beautified and other properties owned by people. This shows that they have been making well of their apartments in saving and investing money. Their example should be followed by many others who should be paying rent by living in apartments for their own home. Property is better here now in the city where it will be made. Savannah Trades If colored men and women are so unmiffed of the requirements of this day and time as to appear in public places and upon our streets in uncountable boisterous department and boisterous of utterance, they be surprised when they are met with evidence of reproach and disdain.

Of course, it is also the Republican who is a republican and they lack the wisdom while urging the passage and enforcement of laws, to prove in a satisfactory way to the mind of the colored brother that his interests are as safe in the hands of the Democratic party as they are in the hands of the Republican.

"I know Mr Lewis in the latter years of his life, when he was looked upon as one of A. T. Stewart's strongest rival and the wealthiest man. He was a man of striking personal appearance. He was is creed as in Indian, and as muscular his complexion was somewhat swarthy his large eyes were dark and his hair only. Most persons were of the opinion that there was a strain of Spanish blood in him, and the common understanding was that he had come to New York as a lad from the West Indies But he never spoke of his early life, not even to his friends, and all that was known to a certainty of him was that he had begun his mercantile career as a humble clerk in the great retail establishment which in time he came to head Forbade Heiress to Marry. "While I was in Europe a year or two after the close of the civil war Mr. Lewis died, and shortly after my return to this country I read in a legal paper a brief report of the filing of the will left by Mr Lewis. At once it struck me that the conditions of the will would not stand the test of a contest, if any were made. It provided that the bulk of the property, running up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, should be turned over to and possessed by the young woman named therein, so long as she remained unmarried. But in case she married, or refused to accept the sole condition imposed upon her, the estate was to be placed in trust and the entire income from it used to beautify Mr. Lewis's burial plot. "It so happened that I was retained to see if there were any relatives of Mr. Lewis living. After a long search the only clew I was able to get that might lead to the discovery of living relatives was the fact that Mr. Lewis had occasionally received letters from a little town in Canada many miles north of Toronto I decided to go to that town, and offer breakfast on the day following my arrival. I shaned to pick up a news paper from a nearby chair while waiting my turn in the town barber shop. In it I saw some reference which led me to suspect that might be on the right side. I made the mistake I told that I would probably find John F. Lewis's mother living upon a little farm some distance out of the village "I went there and found—a coal-black Negress. She told me her story. She had escaped from slavery in the South years before the outbreak of the war, made her way into Canada by means of the 'underground railway,' settled in the village nearby, and in time married a Scotchman of the name of Lewis, who was a sort of pioneer in that region. John F. Lewis was the son of that marriage. In early boyhood he had gone from home determined to conceal the fact that he was the son of a slave woman by a white father, and being sure that his physical appearance would make it easy for him to do this. From he had been astounded to send to his mother money he received for four times a year, he in turn received from her each time a pledge that she would not resell his parentage. This pledge she had faithfully kept, breaking it to me only when she felt that the death of her son had left her free to talk God Her Share of Wealth "Well to make a long story short, I obtained the oldest corrosive proof of the mother's statements, and was authorized by her to contest her son's will in her behalf, did so the will was set aside, and a satisfactory division of the estate was made between the black mother of the dead man and the young white woman of superior attractiveness, retinement and modesty who had been named by Mr. Lewis as his sole legatee. Following this settlement the mother returned to Canada. As for the young woman, she lapsed into absolute obscurity, and from that day to this her identity has never been fully established. Nor was there ever any satisfactory reason advanced as to why Mr. Lewis should have bequeathed his property to her, or imposed upon her the condition that he did in his will"—J Edwards in New York Evening Mail. NEW SCHOOL FOR TENNESSEE Davidson County Court Votes 100 00 for Execution of Colored Normal, Agricultural and Indus- trial Court Votes 100 for Colored Citizens' Association. Special to The New York Age Nashville, Tenn, April 12.—As the result of the work of the Colored Citizens' Association, formed here some time ago for the purpose of securing the establishment of the Colored State Normal, Agricultural and Industrial School for Davidson County, the County Court at its April term last week voted $60,000 for its location in this county Hon J C Napier, together with B J Carr, chairman of the Davidson Association, and Rev Henry A Bory appeared before the Davidson County Court in the interest of the movement. Mr Napier acted as spokesman for the committee, saying "We are willing to help you in every way that will advance the citizenship of this county. We are always willing to help in the advancement of not only our own race, but the whites also, for only recently we helped vote $300,000 bonds for Nakehville's new High School for the white children. "We knew it was not for our race, he continued "but we realized that every educated person we have a valuable asset added to any community whether white or colored." Mr. Napier pointed out the advantages that would accrue in the establishment of the school not only to the colored people but to the county. Rey Boyd and Mr. Carr were also called on for addresses and each sponded with remarks that were received by members of the county. The most respectful attention was accorded the committeemen by the County Court, and following a discussion of the matter by a number of the Magistrates who make up the Davidson County Court, Jesse Cread read the resolution that had been prepared by the County Attorney providing for the issuance of $60,000 bonds for the school, and it was passed by a vote of 31 to 13. A number of other cities, including Chattanooga, Knoxville and Memphis are bidding for the location of the institution, but it is said that the recent action of the Davidson County Court, together with the earnestness with which the Negroes of Nashville and this community have gone after the proposed school, greatly dimishes their chances of securing the location for their respective cities, and makes almost certain the selecting of this county for the institution. TO OPERATE COTTON FACTORY. $250,000 Company Formed at Hot folk. Vs.-Negro Said to Receive $270,000 a year for Cotton to Buy. Vs.-Negro Said to Buy 10,000-Spindle Will. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Norfolk Va. April 12 A committee of five, consisting of Dr. L. J. Tranck of Portsmouth Va. Dr. G. L. Bowens, Charles S. Cutter, tailor F. O. Brown, banker, and George M. King met here at the Hotel Mr. Nelson a few days ago to complete a organization which has for its object the establishing of a Negro cotton factory with a 10,000-spindle mill. The $250,000 project claims Portsmouth, Va. as its birthplace, and the promoter, George King, produced evidence which shows that the Negro now receives about $270,000 a year for the cotton he treats. It is believed by those who counseled in the organization that Negro should establish a sufficient number of cotton factories to maintain cotton into course drill or shear. he would get $60,000 for what if it was spent and woven into known it the trade as intercourse counts of print goods, this sum would be $100,000.

The mass men was held under the auspices of the tors of all the Negro churches Rev J P West presided *Colored Schools of Washington During Past Ten Years Have Been Unfairly Treated," Declares Congressman. Pictal to Tus New York Aon Washington, D. C. April 12—Representative J. Van Vechten Olcott of New York in his speech on behalf of the colored schools in the District of Columbia, declared that within the last ten years the colored schools have been unfairly treated, that there is no provision made for the proper attention and care of the colored children in Washington, and that equal privileges should be accorded all school children irrespective of color. Mr. Olcott spoke, in part, as follows Mr. Chairman—It is a matter of great regret for me to state that in my opinion has been frustrated in making appropriations for welfare and education of school children in the city of Washington "I am well aware that is what is by the District of Columbia Committee does not affect constituencies in the United States, for life is over publicly by the time we have succeeded by that committee and the bills affect its interests, but I do not believe that there is any member of this Congress from any constituency whether in a great city or whether in the country who can fail to be interested in the welfare of the children that are growing up here, and I believe that it is the fact that in this, the capital institution less care and attention is given and less money appropriated to the success which is the only body used with authority to care for the children than would be given by the town represented here. That is the population which is still under control and authorized in the district of the members of the Board of Commissioners for some time it has been appointed to the board of the members of the The population of the shows Total population 10,148 Washington 10,148 25,185 New population 10,622 per cent The population of the District of Columbia in 1900 was 22,918, as age of the population in 1900 of 230 322 On the basis of the increase the population of the District of Columbia in 1900 was the approximate 32,000 of which about 100,000 is Negro or 32.5 per cent. The total population of schooling to 20 years, inclusive) according to the United States census of 1900, is 190,000. The total population of 26,946 Negro, per cent of total 34 In 1958 there were 55,885 persons from 6 to 17 years of age, inclusive. In district of Columbia, of whom 18, were Negro. On a similar basis in district of Georgia, of whom 65,000 of these persons, of whom out 21,000, or 31 per cent, are Negro. It is entirely unnecessary to argue at the principle of the American school system is that the State shall exact the same educational opportunities to all children, and there should be equal opportunities in the city of Washington. Nothing has ever been so insistently demanded by the people as that equal privilege should be accorded to all children, irrespective of their position in life or their race, color, or religion. To suggest for an instant that colored children should not receive equal education should be to start a doctrine repulsive to the best thinking people of the entire United States, both North and South. During the close of the Sixteenth Congress and on March 2, 1865 I called attention in a speech to what appeared to me be an oversight in the appointment of Colonel for the fiscal year ending June 30, there was carried on an increase in appropriation of $300,000 for the schools in the District but it is apalling to consider that of this amount the schools were colored schools in other words about 4 percent of the entire appropriation. The appropriations were made in such a way that it was impossible to handle such a heavy receiving money for colored schools and which were for which schools and conscripted referred to was not brought to my attention until after the appropriation bill was in conference and possible to reify this issue. At the opening of this session when the present bill was under consideration before the committee on appropriations 11 and from the book of estates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997, the Department of Education had asked for an appropriation for school buildings and provided for the amount only 14 percent of the aggregate estimate for city schools. It was required to be comprehensible to the public and to a situation found that it would with the commission and the Board of Educa- As a fact, the board of Ed. of the commissioner to request is to appropriate about 11 per cent of the provision and for some rea- tion that it will be able to see the com- mission for any record misstatements 11 per cent of the applicant issuances of the Dis- position on appropriate provision to me that the provision on the part of the applicant might be that the school children had provision in problem app- provision were better condition than the school attended by white children it was easily ascertain that it was not the fact. As a amateur, the statement which I approve and which shows the the last of the public schools for provision in schools during that era have been unfairly trusted please fill in one or two exam plans and fill in the condition of some of the buildings used for colored schools. The parent school house known as Brown County School District is one of many schools that will host in or near the city now attend the Military Road School would attend the Fort Blocum School were there proper accommodations for them. This school is nothing but a wooden shack, and I believe that anybody who looked at it would believe that it would be a disgrace to any town in the United States. As a matter of fact, I feel confident that many children would attend this school, provided facilities were obtained, who now have them for 10 cents a day five days a week for 20 cents a day, or some school where they can be accommodated, and the same condition of affairs obtains in many other sections of the city. "Take the group of buildings comprising the M Street High School, the Abby Simmons School, and the Douglas School, bounded by First street on the east and M street on the north, Pierce street on the south and Newport street on the west, approximately 23,000 feet. This apportion of colored schools is practically without playgrounds, thereby preventing the extension of any of these buildings. These schools are in such wretched condition that an appropriation was made in this bill for a central heating plant for the three buildings in order to save the expense of making extensive and necessary repairs. Instances of these cases can be multiplied to show that no paper is made for the proper attention and care of the colored children in the city of Washington. "As a result of this investigation, made in the short time that it was possible for me to devote to it, I took the matter up with the sub-committee of the Committee on appropriations, Musser (tarder of Michigan, Taylor of Ohio, of Illinois, Indiana, Texas, and Howers of Mississippi, with the result that they have recommended that material changes be made in the appropriations instead of the figures set forth in the estimate of the commissioners, which recommendations have been agreed to by the full members of the committee, and to me to realize that upon calling the attention of the sub-committee to the unfairness of the estimate, and after a proper investigation made by them, they entirely agreed with me that the distribution of the amount appropriated for all schools and buildings changed, and in a manner fair to all. I am glad to see that one of the items included in this bill is an appropriation of $0,000 for the construction of a manual training school building on the grounds of the Cotteridge school proper as a memorial to the old school classes that former of the city. As I pointed out in my speech in the last session, I asked the colored elementary schools have to be able to cooperate and train centers for their students well. I trained for both in well-organized training programs in which we had institutional training of the colored children, and such manual training is offered as little value, because of the lack of proper skills kits and other fundamental equipment. Personally I think the policy of the Board of Education and of Congress should be to encourage elementary schools to have their own manual training. No element of Washington's population both for its own interests and for the welfare of the community, stands in greater need of training for economic independence than the colored people. Certainly there should be no objection to a manual training center. The training will materially benefit the many children in need of manual training. "It is a fact in the colored schools (1) that in the elementary grades classes above the second grade are now being taught upon a half-day basis in unavoidable violation of the law, beware of the potential for inappropriate buildings enough to accommodate these children. (2) that the colored elementary schools have not one adequately equipped manual training center, in spite of the great need for hand as well as head training. (3) that the Armstrong Manual Training School, in the Street High School are very greatly overcrowded, to the great injury of their instruction and training, and that this congestion grows worse each year. (4) that the normal school which trains all the teachers in the colored elementary schools and consequently in the schools of Washington is present improperly housed in parts of two elementary school buildings to the great embarrassment of the important work to that some of the school houses or apart for use for example in the Bedroom Military Road and Bridge Road in City Benning Road and the Butte Annex. Although as expressed to me a few months ago I do not believe that the appropriations for new schools and grounds are nearly as much as they should be in this the capital of the country. I believe that the committee on Appropriations have shown their desire to give rights to poor children in the city without any regard to their color. In the city of New York of which I know more than I do of any other city in the United States, the question of public schools and their needs as described in the Constitution of the different partitions and the Board of Education in that city and the Board of Estimate and Appointment in presiding for the school budget are not guided by any consideration whatever except the question of congestion of population and I am confident that they appropriate money needed in a manner which is liberal to the budget can possibly allow. I ever since it has been necessary to serve to Congress I have consistently felt that the loss of the District of Columbia should be met with laws to be followed to all the States of the Union for the purpose of insisting that in this, the most important appropriation in the District of Columbia bill we should make the schools model schools for all the world to follow and the cities in this country to carry. I believe it is a fact that the more money that is appropriated to the schools culture and education of the children the less money the community will have to spend on prisons and inmshouses.

The Negroes of New York are the only race without such a home for our young girls. There is need of such a place they can go and be cared both mentally and physically of their ill, and taught to do whatever they seem best fitted for in life.

These legal luminaries have nled an answer that ought to go on record, it for no other reason than the elements of comedy and derision therein contained. The firm should get a gold medal for drawing up such a written discourse If James J. Davis was well up in Blackstone and on intimate terms with legal verbiage, he would be prompted to take a peep into his mirror at home and then proceed to argue with himself as to his racial identity. Next, he would be forced to call a conference and discuss with his wife, who was with him when the disturbance occurred at Hammerstons Victoria Theatre in the afternoon of March 11, the incidents attending his hasty and undignified departure from the lobby of that theatre in the answer filed by the Hammerstons it does not require one to be a modern Socrates to observe that they have lapsed into a state of coma on the evicting incident which should demand the sympathy of all friends and admirers. In the general denial titled by the defendants they not only deny knowledge of the petitioner being a colored man but repudiate the charges made by Davis that he was refused admission on the lower floor on account of color and thrown out of the playhouse. Even the allegation that the Hammerssteins are owners and managers of the Victoria Theatre is questioned, which piece of news will occasion much comment in theatrical circles, if correct. Although a legal document is seldom considered bright and interesting reading by those not directly interested in legal procedure, nevertheless the language used in the suit brought by James J Davis, through his attorney, James L. Curtis, and the answer filed by the Hammerssteins through their legal representatives House, Grossman and Vorhaus, will be inflicted on The Age readers for perusal. Each Side States Its Case. In telling of how he was discriminated against at the Victoria Theatre because of his color, Mr Davis refers to the incident in his petition as follows First—That the said plaintiff is a citizen of the United States of America and a resident of the City, County and State of New York, that he is of African descent and a member of the race variety commonly called colored people or Negroes. Second—That on or about the 11th day of March, 1910 the said defendants was and now the owner of the variety and vaudeville theatre situated at the corner of 42d street and Broadway, Rotough of Manhattan, City, County and State of New York known as Hammerstein's, and as such maintain and operate the said theatre as a place of public accommodation. Third—That on the day last above mentioned said plaintiff purchased at the window of said theatre for himself and wife calling for seats in the purport and paid there for the sum of $1. Fourth That in company with his wife, in an orderly manner said plaintiff presented the said tickets to ticket taker at the said theatre, requesting to be served in the section, and in the seats indicated by the said tickets. Fifth That the defendant through his agents and servants for his book from the said plaintiff for his book from the said plaintiff him the full disclosure of the services and privileges of the said plaintiff of accommodation and admission to wit the said Humourists. Theatre for reasons that oppose the alike to indicate in respect of the reason that the said plaintiff was of African descent personally called a colored person of a Negro Sixth. That the person of the said denial by the defendant for the said plaintiff of the toll and equal accommodation of the charges facilities and provisions will place of public communication and arrangement suffice to show maliation and misdemeanor in his damage and in the same way. Wherefore the plaintiff proves judgment of the said defendant and in the same way for the cost and the benefit of this action. Defendments Deny Everything The attorney attends to general denial of the plaintiff, and so does by the plaintiff, redacted as we. The defendants have named, appearing before the House Grossman and Vorhings their answer to the complaint respectfully show to the court and other. First. That the defendants deny that they have any knowledge or information sufficient to each and every allegation contained in the paragraph or subdivision of the complaint designated First. Second. The defendants deny each and every allegation contained in the paragraph or subdivision of the complaint designated "Second." Third. The defendants deny that they have any knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief EDITED BY as to each and every allegation contained in paragraph or subdivision designated "Third" and Fourth. Fourth--The defendants deny each and every allegation contained in the paragraph or subdivision of the complaint designated Fifth and Sixth. Wherefore, defendants demand judgment that the complaint herein be dismissed together with the costs and disbursements of this act. Judging from the general demal setup by the Hammerstein's, an effort will be made by their attorneys to hold the employees of the theatre liable for any violation of the Malbo Act the defendants maintaining that they know nothing of the affair and are blameless. However if one can secure judgment for damages against a railroad company for injuries sustained in an accident caused by the negligence of its agents why not a judgment against the Hammerstein? It is not probable that the courts will allow theatre managers to violate the Malbo Act by resorting to subterfuge. Theatre managers should and will be held responsible for the acts of their agents and employees. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

According to lawyers representing producers of grand opera and the leading theatrical managers, the decision rendered by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court last Friday in the case of Oscar Hammerstein against Marguerite Sylva is the most serious blow to managers. Under the ruling any actor can ignore a contract Hammerstein brought suit against Miss Sylva to restrain her from signing with any other manager than himself during the remainder of a contract in which they had entered and which had not expired Miss Sylva averred that attending to the treatment she had received at the hands of the Hammerstein she was released from the contract. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in dissolving an injunction which had been granted by the Supreme Court, ruled that the services of Miss Sylva were not shown to be of that unique and extraordinary quality which alone justifies an injunction as desired by the Hammerstein. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER A. WALTUN Trouble in Colored Baseball League —Two Teams on Blacklist. JUDGING from appearances, peace and harmony do not reign supreme in the International League of Colored Baseball Clubs. Two teams are said to have been recently blacklisted, and contract jumping seems to be a fad. The clubs that are said to be in bad' with the league are the Leland Giants of 'Chicago and the Cuban Giants. From Chicago comes the information that there will be two teams bearing the name of Leland Giants this season. One will be managed by Frank Leland and will be known as the Chicago Leland Giants, and the other by Secretary Moseley Messrs Leland and Mosley are said to have had a split and a bitter fight is on in the Chicago courts over the ownership of the Leland Giants in which $10,000 is said to be involved. Rubo Foster is said to have cast his lot with Mosby and has formed a team in opposition to Manager Leland. As the Leland Giants belonged to the City League of Chicago Leland is said to have appealed to the league which prompts took sides with him and has refused Mosby and Foster the privilege to play their team in the league this summer. Manager Leland's team, the Chicago Leland Giants has been privileged, however, to join Manager Bright of the Cuban Giants has incurred the displeasure of the officers of the International League of Colored Baseball Clubs owing to his refused to pay an assessment to be paid for the team. He painted for the Royal Giants last fall Manager Bright took the stand that as his team had only participated in two games last season against the Royal Giants a fair deal had not been given the Cuban Giants. In the two games between the Royal Giants and the Cuban Giants the New York players won both. Manager Copper Tabs Manager J W Connor who was in instrumental in providing Greater New York with the best colored baseball team in America last season charges that his former captain Homerun Johnson, is doing all he can to induce the members of his club to jump, but up to date has not succeeded. In speaking of his difficulty with Homerun Johnson Manager Connor said Johnson is doing everything to get my players to leave me but he has failed in every instance the majority of my men are loyal and also know it will not do them any good to contract breakers. The trouble with him is that he angered me. I am forced to give him an interest in the Royal Giants. For the last two years I have spent thousands of dollars trying to furnish New York with a club team and did not think that I should give any one an interest of this time. While Johnson has jumped to the Colonels Giants and Robinson to the Colonels Giants I will have a winning run over the losers. Bowman will play first base instead of Robinson and I am making arrangements to bring several fast youngsters to the big city. Lail Monto Brahley Buckner James Marian Thomas and Dempster will be with the Royal Giants again this season. and L.
