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.

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. Defends February 1, April 1, August 1, November 1, and December 1, 1914, the National and Industrial Institute of Virginia Law University will confess him to the court.
