VOL. XXIII. No. 31. MONEY-MAD PROCEEDINGS T. Thomas Fortune Reviews Church Methods at Camden Conference BISHOP GAINES IN ACTION Most of His Time Spent in Censuring Ministers Ear Not Bringing in Enough Money A REMEDY SUGGESTED Finance Committee Should Be Appointed to Which the Minister Should Make Their Reports. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. Frenton, N. J., May 3—Presiding Elder Roundtree of this Conference District, invited me to attend as his guest the annual meeting of the New Jersey Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church at Camden I thought the experience would do me good I did, but not in the way I had thought I went for moral and spiritual refreshing, being naturally pious and inclining to the mystical in ethics as sparks are to ascend upward What did I get? Truth to say, an example of crossroads political methods of hatred, hard words, not shaking and cowardice which tickled the rafters of Macedonia Church with a prodigious tickle. Here, then, was something worthy—an eye to see and an ear to hear These be mine from my youth up. Pen Pictures of Bishop Gaines. Pen Pictures of Bishop Gaines. As a Southern politician of the old school, Bishop Wesley J. Gaines would have been a picturesque success, hated by his political enemies and mistrusted by his friends. As a bishop of a great church, of which Daniel Alexander Payne stands out as the highest and best type, he is a magnitudinal, grotesque apology. He has a massive physique, stooping shoulders, a patriarchal beard, downcast and shifty eyes and bald head. He has a loud voice, harsh laughter in his taunt in tery, he has a very stiff neck, and he is very ignorant. He has big hands, the palms of which are said to be as itchy as those of a ward heeler. Over whatever conference district he presides confusion and scandals and rumors of scandals, of one sort and another, surcharge the atmosphere of church circles and keep the preachers in constant dread of bishopical lightning. They do not know what to expect of their spiritual and moral head. It is regarded as being as uncertain, his head, as a sleeping volcano. Their appointments hang upon his whims and his whims are controlled entirely by the amount of money the preachers report to the conference for the year and at the degree of subservience they display at all times to him. Talks by Ministers Not Required. Talks by Ministers Not Required. The moral and spiritual condition of the people appears not to be a concern of the Bishop, the preachers were not called upon during the four days' session of the conference to say anything concerning that condition, whereas a ten minute statement from each one of them should have been required. How else could the moral and spiritual condition of the people of the conference, New Jersey or other, be got at as needful information and stimulation? Neither were any papers read and discussed for the information and instruction and education of the members and visitors of the conference. Why? All of the time was consumed in making finance reports and consuring the preachers for not coming "up to the mark," "up to last year's report." "Put a mark before the brothers' name!" grown the Bishop at the falling off of any report, with this update killer "I will send you to a smaller charge, as the one you got so soon good for you." And the poor preacher would shrivel up. This happened in the case of one preacher who got but $120 for his support the whole year. I did the best my poor charge said the preacher "We'll see about that" snarled the Bishop. "Love me one mother," said Jesus, but Bishop fourteen did not hear him Being a more changer, his face was turned the other way. Mr. Fortune Makes Several Buggestions. What is the remedy? Why, the com- munity way. A finance committee should be appointed by the com- munity through the Bishop, to which the should make their reports, receipt for money turned in department. When the reports in the chairman should report result to the conference summar- ning with it the several reports preachers. With this summary binds the Bishop could censure that deserved it and commend that deserved it in ten minutes. Twenty minutes for the reading punctations would be ample in of two instead of four days, of the time other than the forty could be devoted to the reading using of informing papers pre- advance, and in ten minute of the moral and spiritual CARNEGIE LIBRARY AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON, D. C. condition of the people of the several churches. OKLAHOMA DEMOCRAT Arrest of Bishop Gaines. The scandal which put the conference by the ears was the arrest of Bishop Gaines, on a warrant sworn out at Jersey City, charging him with the embezzlement of $130 belonging to the superannuated preachers' fund. Did he do it? That is none of my business. The finance committee said he got the money and that it had a right to give it to him. Did it have a right to give it to him? That is none of my business. Bishop Gaines, it is alleged, is worth $7,500,00, which is much money to accumulate on $2,000,00 a year, with $500,00 allowed for traveling expenses. If most of it was accumulated by gratuities from conferences and special collections of big churches visited during the year by the Bishop, it belongs to the poor people from whom it was taken, and not to the Bishop. Other Bishops are, it is alleged, wealthy by the same immoral methods. I have no animus against Bishop Gaines—who is old, irritable and ignorant, and should be retired. I simply wish to expose his ways, which bring discredit upon a great church, whose good name and well-doing are the concern of all who wish the church in its moral and spiritual work of uplift. JUDGE SCORES LAWYER Attorney Mason of Newark, Referred to Negro as "Big Black Brute"—Court declared that Remark was Uncalled for and Was Not to be Prejudiced. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Newark, N J, May 3—Charles M. Mason, a white attorney of this city, is feeling the sting of a rebuke administered by Judge Hahn in the First Precinct Court. Judge Hahn taking exceptions to Mason using the term, "big black brute" References were made by Attorney Mason to Josiah Campbell, who was on trial for hitting Mrs Lillian Livermore. Campbell testified that the trouble started when Mrs Livermore struck him in the mouth when he tried to collect sixty cents for carting a trunk Attorney Mason represented Mrs Livermore, and when the lawyer became uncomplimentary the court said Your remarks are decidedly uncalled for. You have failed entirely to move this court by your argument of a white woman against a Negro. You have no right to refer to this man as a big black brute. It makes no difference to this court what may be the race, color or belief of any person when he is held under the law. Let him be black or white, he will be given the same chance upon its merite HELP TO SUPPRESS CRIME. Special to The New York Age. Atlanta, Ga. April 30—Sympathetic Negroes of this city have joined hands with the white people in giving financial aid to the families of the victims of the recent hold-up which is said to have been perpetrated by Negroes. The fund was started by T W Holmes, with the following named as contributors John Bell, Cornelius King, J B Greenwood, Mark Thomas, St Elmo Reynolds, Jack son McHenry, Jr., Charles Faison, A Nash, H J White and H A Rucker. At the Friendship Baptist Church on Monday night Rev I R Carter preached on the hold-up, and strong resolutions were passed denouncing the crime and the criminals. A subscription was started which promises to amount to considerable when the list is completed. The respectable Negroes of the community are as anxious to apprehend the perpetrators of the vicious crime as the white citizens. NEGRO EDUCATOR8 TO MEET. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Kansas City, Mo. May 2 The National Congress of Negro Educators, which will meet at St Louis, August 25, 26 and 27 promises to be the most important meeting of Negroes ever held in America. The Governors of the several States have named delegations composed of their altest and best leaders to the meeting, and plans will be discussed for the betterment of the race. A number of white men, distinguished along many lines of human endeavor, will appear before the congress and deliver addresses. Governor Stubbs of Kansas has asked Bishop Grant to head the delegation from that State Governors Gulchrist of Florida, Stubbs of Kansas, Wilson of Kentucky, Kitchin of North Carolina, Deneen of Illinois, and Hadley of Missouri have also appointed delegates READ THE NEW YORK AGE A National Weekly of Large Circulation Appears on the news stands of Greater New York every Thursday Delivered to any address upon application Is the LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM of its kind To Submit Scheme to Disfranchise Negro Voters of that State If Grandfather Clause Amendment Passes Republicans Will Surely Loose Two Congressmen. "No person shall be registered as an elector in this state or be allowed to vote in any election held herein unless he be able to read and write any section of the State of Oklahoma; but no person who was, January 7, 1866, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at least is provided in law for sign nation, or no legal descendant of person shall be denied the right to register and vote because of his inability to read and write sections of the constitution." Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Muskogee, Okla, May 3—At the general state primaries next August an amendment to the constitution will be submitted to the voters with a view to distrisfishing the Negro voters, of the white and making Oklahoma safely Democratic. It will be known among politicians as the grandfather clause. Careful perusal of this amendment will show that it is so designed that it will shut out only one class—the Negro. The exception made to those "who were, January 1, 1966, entitled to vote under any form of government, whatever," has for its purpose the admission of Indians of the state to vote regardless of whether they can read or write, while the reference to alen residents clearly excepts them from the test. And the lineal descendants of white men who were entitled to vote in 1966 exempts the white man from the test. Both the elimination of the Indian and the foreigners are important, politically in this state. There are 104,000 Indians in the state, possibly 20,000 of them voters, a large per cent of them unable to read or write. In the mining district there are approximately 8,000 miners of whom a very large per cent are foreigners who cannot read English Large Negro Vote in Two Districts. The Negro vote in the state is very large, particularly in the First and Third districts. It is estimated by those who are really responsible for the proposed amendment that 10,000 Negro voters unfit the amendment carries. This will derate the present law will be distranchased make the First and Third Congressional districts, both now represented by Republicans, Democratic beyond recall. And there is no probability that the amendment will fail to carry. This was seen to by the men who drafted the amendment. The vote on it will be taken at the primaries, when state, district, county, township candidates are to be nominated. This means that the full Democratic vote will be polled. And to make assurance doubly sure, the method of voting on the amendment is likely to catch the very voters that it will disfranchise. For it is not the same kind of a "Yes" and "No" ballot that is ordinarily used, and the resolution calling for this referendum vote provides that unless the votes mark out completely and distinctively with a penal the negative vote, his vote will be counted for the amendment. Once the ballot is not marked at all it becomes as a vote in the affirmative. Democrats Control Education Machinery. So it would mean that there is no possible chance of getting away from the passage of the amendment. The Democratic organization is seeing to it that the petition for the referendum of this amendment is properly signed and executed. In that an effort is being made to get rid of familiarly every Democrat in the state to sign the petition. To make it even more ironclad, it is provided that no person shall sign a petition without a statement to vote for the amendment when it is submitted. Another feature that the registration officials are to be the judges of whom to apply is the grandfather clause. Unless a Negro grandfather and write he cannot register. The Democrats are in control of the election machinery of the state and appoint the registration officers. With the great latter clause effective they are most likely to continue in control indefinitely. The advantage of controlling the registration offices when a test of this clause is to be made is apparent. However, should the Republicans ever gain control of the state, they, too, could use the registration offices to equally give advantage. JUROR SHOWD PREJUDICE Southern Court Received and Remands Case in Whistle-Horns are Principales—White Johns Who Was Biased Against Micro Race Should Not Have Been Injected. Special to THE NEW YORK AREA San Antonio, Texas, May 2—Because a juror showed Blas against the Negro race in favour of the white race, the Fourth Court of Civil Appeals has reversed and demanded the case of J H Makey et al. Thomas Dryden, from Harris County. The court overrules all the arguments of error except two, concluding that the testimony supported the findings, but said The second assessment and the fifth are briefed to either. Under these there is the military proposition. A verdict must be evidently not founded upon the evidence or reason, but is the result of passion or prejudice by the jury, should be set aside. The case is an appeal of trespass to try title brought by Thomas Dryden against J H. Makey and wife, S. R. Bruce and her husband, J H. Bruce and Stanley Thomson. The opinion was written by Chip Justice James. The court finds that the juror showed Blas. Negroes). Mutuality, the jurors were asked on their volide examination if they had any prejudice against Negroes, and all had answered that they had none that would influence them as jurors in arriving at their verdict, yet one of them, it is said, while the jury was deliberating, showed prejudice against the race to such an extent that he would not believe what a Negro said when opposed to the statement of any white person. In rendering the decision the Appellate Court said. If this is not prejudice against the race, we are at a loss as to what name to give it. It demonstrated his unfitness to give defendants that fair trial which the laws contemplate and seek to accord to every person, black or White. That he would have been excluded from sitting on the jury had he disclosed this prejudice when he insisted he would do none, no one can doubt for a moment. The new trial should for this reason alone, have been granted TRIBES QUIET IN LIBERIA. Special to The New York Age. Washington, D. C., May 3—Capt Fletcher, commander of the United States cruiser Birmingham, now at Monrovia, Liberia, has informed the United States Government that the trouble with the native tribes at Cape Palmas is due to mismanagement on the part of the local authorities at Monrovia. Capt Fletcher has cabled the State Department expressing this view, and stating that he had suggested a method of peaceful settlement of the difficulties which had been agreed to by the tribes, and that the feud had been stopped, pending negotiations. Americans and their property in Liberia, Capt Fletcher says, are in no danger. Another telegram from Liberia states that the Liberian Government desires to withdraw its consul from the British colony of Sierra Leone, which adjoins Liberia on the north and has requested the State Department to permit the United States Consul in that colony to represent the Liberian Government there. This request will be complied with after the formal consent of the Government shall have been obtained Educator is Enthusiastically Received at Hartford, Conn. THRONG AT ZION CHURCH Much Practical Advice Given in Speech—Hundreds Attend Reception Held in Vestry of Church After Speaking. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Hartford, Conn, May 3—In recent years Booker T. Washington has been highly honored on several occasions by the Negroes of New England, but last Friday evening the eminent Tuskegeean was given an enthusiastic oavtion at the A M E Zion Church that will be long remembered. Never has a more fitting tribute been paid him by the members of his race living in this section of the country. For over twenty years Dr. Washington has been coming to Hartford, but his recent visit eclipsed all others for general interest and genuine enthusiasm. A M E Zion Church was filled to overflowing, and throughout the educator's address the colored citizens showed that they were heartily in accord with the sound and practical advice given. The Negroes of the city were complimented for the progress made lately in buying homes and embarking in business. Dr Washington stated that the Negroes of the North were examples in the eyes of the whites, expressing the opinion that those in the South can be helped materially by the Northern Negro developing character The meeting was presided over by Rev B W Swain, who introduced Dr. Washington in a few appropriate words. Among those who accompanied the speaker were ex-Mayor Edward W. Hooker, Dr. Rockwell Harmon Potter, pastor of the Center Church; Ernest Walker Smith and R A Lawson. Hundreds Attend Reception. After Dr. Washington had delivered his address a reception was tendered him in the vestry of the church, where even standing room was at a premium. The reception was represented by a delegation of ladies, who added to making the affair a big success. Mrs. R. A. Lawson was chairman of the general committee which co-operated with the Lincoln Nickel Society for Savings, and Mrs Gertrude Brown efficiently superintended the serving of refreshments. The ladies' reception committee was made up as follows: Talcott Street Church, Mrs. R. A. Lawson, chairman of general committee, Mesdames N. C Williams, A I Plato and C C Coffee A M F. Zion Church, Mrs Gertrude Brown, chairman, Mesdames Eugene Harder, Vincent Davis and William Harris, Union Baptist Church, Mrs Charles Nelson, chairman, Mrs G W Wilson, Shiloh church, Mrs John Ellis, chairman, Mrs John Woods, St Monica's Church, Mrs James Jackson, chairman, Mrs James Francis and Miss Mary Thompson Oscar Williams was general secretary of the reception committee and George H Holmes was an active member. Tables were set for one hundred persons, and national colors and other decorations were conspicuous on every hand. So large was the crowd that many were served standing. A large bouquet of white roses, the gift of Mrs Arthur Goodrich, wife of the editor of the Hartford Courant, ornamented the table set apart for the guest of honor. Before leaving to catch a train Dr. Washington thanked the committee of ladies for the appetizing repast that had been prepared, expressing regret for having to leave such good company. While in the city Dr. Washington addressed another large audience at the Center Congregational Church, which is one of the largest white churches in Hartford. Lincoln Nickel Society for Savings. The Lincoln Nickel Society for Savings under whose auspices the reception was held is an organization in which several of the oldest colored citizens of Hartford are connected. The society was organized about eighteen months ago and an application for incorporation papers has been bled. It is the first movement that has been made in this state to establish a financial institution by Negroes, and, although the amount in the treasury amounts to only several hundred dollars, the members hope to have a sum representing five figures in course of time. The formal opening of the bank will be held about the middle of June, and comment Negroes will take part in the ceremonies. The officers of the society are Wm. B. Edwards, president. I. R. Gaulsden, corresponding secretary. F. A. Harder, financial secretary. John Dishman, treasurer, and C. F. Grant, chairman of the board of trustees. The trustees are J. W. Brown, John H. Ellis, John Dishman, W. H. Tillman, John H. Holmes, Dauson Jackson, Charles Phillips, E. C. Gurley, W. S. Smith and E. A. Harder. FORTUNE AWAITS NEGRO $10,000 Being Held in a Richmond Trust Company for George Washington Lyon. -Has Been Mismanaged for 10 Years.-Mother was a Slave in Virginia. Special to THE NEW YORK AGZ. Richmond, Va. May 3—There is being held by one of the trust companies of this city $10,000, which will be given to the person who proves that he is George Washington Lyons, a very light colored man whose father was, a white man and whose mother was a slave in Virginia before the Civil War. If the person in question cannot be found the money will be paid to his heirs. For a number of years an effort has been made to locate the rightful owner of the fortunate, but so far the attorneys connected with the case have been unsuccessful. Men by the name of George W. Lyons have been found in various parts of the country, but upon investigation not one proved to be the real heir George W Lyons was born in 1835, while his mother was still in slavery, but upon the death of his father, the mother and child inherited the estate. The money due Lyons has been held by a Richmond Trust Company for many years. If living, Lyons would now be about 55 years of age. In the search for the whereabouts of the missing man some interesting features have developed. After the close of the Civil War, the American Missionary Society established numerous schools, churches and missions throughout the South. Among those in charge of this missionary work was Rev Dr George H. Whipple, of New York, About 1869, the mother of Lyons died and Dr Whipple was appointed his legal guardian. Rev. Dr Whipple became the first correspondent secretary of the American Missionary Society and held that important position up to the date of his death in 1876. Four years prior to that time Lyons was at the home of Dr. Whipple at Orange, N. J. In 1878 he disappeared and for the next three years Dr. Whipple was from Mountain View, Santa Clara County, Cal., signed by Lyons. A letter was written to the Santa Clara County address, but it was returned as uncalled for, and thus the only trace to Lyons was lost. Since that time the Pacific coast has been searched again and again for clues to the whereabouts of young Lyons, but without any good results PHIL WATERS A CANDIDATE. Special to Tns New York Agm. Charleston W Va, May 3—Phill Waters, assistant clerk of the Supreme Court of Appeals of this State, and a prominent politician, has announced his candidacy for Assistant Register of the Treasury, to succeed Cyrus Field Adams Mr Waters has secured the endorsement of the two United States Senators, five Congressmen and other leading politicians of his State, and intends to make a determined fight for the position He has held a number of important political positions in this State, having been clerk of the Finance Committee of the Charleston City Council Deputy United States Marshal and clerk of the Finance Committees of both the lower and the upper house He also served as assistant sergeant-at-arms for the National Republican Convention of 1892, 1896, 1900, 1904 and 1908 MORUA DELGADO DEAD. Special to The New York Age. Havana, Mya 2 - Martin Morua Delgado, Secretary of Agriculture in the reconstructed Cuban Cabinet, and formerly President of the Senate, died suddenly last week at Santiago de las Vegas. He had been ill for some time Delgado was 54 years old. He was the most powerful colored political leader in Cuba, and was the first Negro member of the Cabinet, which he entered only during the present month. While he was a member of the Senate in 1994 Delgado was accused of being an instigator of the rebellion in which Gen Quentin Bandera, the rebel leader, was killed. He was buried Saturday with honors Guis were buried during the day at every half hour and all the government offices were closed until after the funeral 8T. PHILIP'S NEW CHURCH.

PRICE, 5 CENTS Supreme Court Defines What is the Meaning of Term Negro General Assembly Which Meets This Month Expected to Simplify Matters During Session ALL COLORED NOT NEGROES Those Classed as Colored Have Legal Right to Enter Hotels, Cafes, Etc.—Press Comment on Declision. Special to THE NEW YORK AGN. New Orleans, La., May 3.—By the close vote of 3 to 2 the Louisiana Supreme Court has handed down a decision on the muchly-mooted question, What is a Negro? by holding that while every Negro is a person of color, not every person of color is a Negro, and that persons of less than full African descent are not Negroes. As the result of the Supreme Court's decision the color question is in more of a muddle in this state than ever before, and the General Assembly which convenes this month is looked upon to clarify matters. The dissenting justices did not agree with the majority, contending that the term Negro as used in the statute has the same meaning as colored. The decision was rendered in Treadway concubinage case, in which the question of marriage between whites and persons of mixed blood was made the issue. The defendants were Octave Treadway, a Caucasian, and Joseph Lightell, an octooon, seven-rate white and one-eighth Negro. The decision of the court has law waiving the objection of the defendant to marry the person of mixed blood against law and to dismantle the law against offenders. The law has been operation slightly over a year and has been approved not by the whites alone, but by the Negroes as well. The effects of the decision do not stop with the practical abrogation of the special law concerned. It has given a meaning to the word "Negro" which affects many other statutes of the State. Among the laws which may be affected by it are those which prohibit the inter-marriage of the races and provide for their separation on the railroads, street cars, steamboats, saloons, hotels, theatres and other public places. The avowed policy of the Louisiana Legislature for years has been the settlement of the race problem by segregation, by a separation of whites and Negroes, so as to prevent racial bitterness. Under this recent decision the Negro enjoys a great many privileges in Louisiana which he has not possessed for years. Press on the Decision. The decision of the Louisiana Supreme Court has caused the press of the country to take up the question, What is a Negro? The New York World deals with the subject as follows In deciding that the term "Negro" does not include persons of mixed blood the State Supreme Court in a large measure has defeated the purpose of much of the race legislation in Louisiana. In substance the court holds that while an Negro are persons of color, persons of color like, quadroons, octoaroons and those with a less infusion of Negro blood are not Negroes. What the legislature intended to accomplish there can be no manner of doubt. That elastic word "Negro" is at the bottom of the trouble. The failure of the First colonies the existence of an intermediate class between the whites and the blacks is generally recognized. In fact, the lines are there drawn as clearly between the three classes as between the two in this country. Subtle legal distinctions, however, are not essential to special prejudices in the South. They are too deeply rooted. Certain laws in Louisiana providing for the separation of the races may be capable of an unexpected interpretation because of the meaning given to one word by a learned court, but whether right or wrong in theory, an answer to the question would represent a state of mind among the whites that no one can deny. In all likelihood the practical effect of the Louisiana Supreme Court's decision will be not to level any barrier erected against the colored people but to reviving race hostility to cause the State legislation to strengthen the laws in which the court has opened breaches. All Should be known as Americana. Say's the Providence Evening Newspaper. So there has been another common sense decision, even in Louisiana, on the Negro question, the term 'Negro' being defined to mean persons who have at least half Negro blood, and not quadroons or octoroons, who have three - fourths to seven - eighths white blood. (Continued on page 8.) At 11 n. m. our pastor preached an excellent sermon to a well-filled house. Subject, "What Is Man That Thou Art Mindful of Him?" All who were present seemingly enjoyed the gospel message. At 2 p. m. the Sunday School met and had an excellent session. The collection was $28.09. At 7 30 p. m. the church was filled with an enthusiastic audience. Many were present to hear Rev. Sims preach his special sermon Subject, "The Stone Cut out of the Mountain." Timothy Baptist Church. Three able preachers preached at Timothy Baptist Church on the first Sunday in May Rev Pettiford preached a very touching sermon at 11 o'clock to many friends and visitors when he preached on the affliction of the church. At 3 p.m Rev Sims, pastor of Union Baptist Church. West 63d street, was heartily received, were a large number of his members, with Dr. Sims preached a thoughtful sermon. All of the sermons were well attended. The day ended with Rev. Newkirk at 8 o'clock, when he preached his special sermon on "Holiness." The receipts from the rally were $69.09. Mount Olivet Baptist Church Mount Olivet Baptist Church Last Sunday proved to be an excellent day at the Mount Olivet Baptist Church. The attendance was large at both the morning and evening services. Dr. Gilbert, the pastor, preached in morning on "The High Head of Jesus Christ." Brown, a young minister from the West Indies, preached a most excellent sermon in the evening. A great surprise awaited the evening congregation in that the electric light was turned on for the first time upon the assembled congregation. The members were delighted with the increased cheerfulness of their surroundings. The church is preparing for its Thirty-second anniversary, which will be observed on May 22. A splendid program is being prepared and the occasion will be a grand one. The collection for last Sunday was $95. The contributions of the members have been increasing notably of late Farewell Service at St. Phillip's The last services to be held by the congregation of St. Phillip's P. E. Church in the edifice on West 25th street occupied Sunday, May 1 Large and enthusiastic congregations were present both morning and evening After the service of morning prayer conducted by the curate, Rev E. W. Daniel at 10.30 a. m. there came a high celebration of Holy Communion at 11 a. m. the rector, Rev Hutchens C Bishop, being the celebrant Gounod's mass for male voices was rendered by the vested choir, which was largely augmented in numbers, many of its former members being present and participating. The sermon was delivered by the rector, who reviewed the spiritual life of the parish in the present location. After the service there was a congregational meeting, at which the rector detailed the plan of the erection of the new church and parish house on the 10s lot burning from 134th to 133d stairs. An appeal was made forcriptions toward the cost of furnishing the interior of the church, which was liberally responded to. At night the service was most impressive. Among the clergy from other churches who participated in the service were John W. Johnson, Owen M. Waller, Gee W. Plaskett and others. The pastor, Dr. W. H. Brooks, filled the pulpit at the morning service last Sunday, inspiring all who heard him. In the evening the children of the Howard Orphan Asylum were present and most sweetly sang their way into the hearts of their audience Mrs. Sounders in a clear-cut statement gave all an insight of the work of the asylum and its needs, and many responded liberally to the appeal that was made in its behalf. Seldom if ever has St Marks shown the interest and enthusiasm over an election as was manifested last Monday evening when six Trustees were to be placed into office. Though the choice of the votors was varied the following were elected by a large majority Messrs Walter E Hands Gilbert Wilson and Harry Winslow to terms of three years Daniel Weatherby, for a term of two years and Alexander King and Martin Lineberger each to remain in office one year. A very touching incident was the unanimous election of James W Alexander to the office of honorary trustee. Mr Alexander who has served the church in the capacity of chairman of the trustee board for about twenty-five years recently reigned because of ill health. The program on last Thursday at St. Mark's Lycum was of a very high order, the large audience was delightful as well as instructively entertained President Arthur W. Handley called the Lycum to order after several selections by the Choral Union Cleveland G. Allen was impressed as having charge of program what was as follows: Recitation, Miss Helen Gassaway addresses Messrs R T Brown of the Military Movement I L Hankel McLary Medical College and N Nolen of Yale. The program will be in charge of Miss Margaret L. Brown Sunday afternoon. Woman's Day at Mother Zion Splendid services were the order of the day at Mother Zion on last Sunday Rev Baldwin as his usual custom preached two powerful sermons to two large and appreciative audiences. The collections were above the average The Sunday School shortened its service on account of the usual sacred concert day. Mrs Phiatha Eaton was in charge of the excellent short program It was woman's day in the J. C. Price Lyceum and very interesting and entertaining did they make themselves in discussing the reasons why women should vote Miss Irone L. Mogman Miss Harriet Mills vice president of the State Suffrage Association and Miss Alice L. Waytes superintendent of Bible Workers made splendid talks on the importance of the State W. H.

A joint committee of representative men from at least every Southern State 1s to have charge of the project, and artists are sending in designs for figures for the monument. We mention these facts to show how general and genuine is the love of the Southland for the Ne- gro woman of bygone days From every poiht of view this is ‘one of the most admirable efforts the Southland has ever made It is in- deed worthy of her boasted chivalry and her high traditions. It 1s a timely recognition of a memorable charac- ter rapidly passing from her midst. For the old black mammy history finds no counterpart, nor shall we ever see her type again She touched the life of the Southern home at every point. She was the anxious devoted foster mother at birth. From her own breast she nursed with crooning plaintive melody the infant into childhood. Even at the peril of her life she would protect the chil- dren committed to her care from every danger‘and alarm. She cooked the food and kept the house. In trouble, in success, in pleasure, in sieeaess and in death she was present. Rraek rant soothing in sor- iid Sarid -atssing thes happiness she was the “Gtar'S{a soul” on every oc- ‘Sabion.-, Little wonder is it that gen- étation after generation of aristo- c¥atic Southerners, statesmen, schol- ars, merchants, have risen up to call her blessed. The old black mammy was just as much an institution as slavery itself She rendered heroic and monumental service to a race of Southern men She was a national character She richly deserves this natwnal terbute That out of fond and grateiul_ mem ory the South would erect a millon: dollar monument ts the wld black mammy, is noble and fitting THE DEATH OF DELGADO.

This is a vital lesson for any people so situated In leaving Haiti this heritage Nord Alexis rendered his country and his race a great service THE OKLAHOMA FRILL. Oklahoma ts living up to its reputa- tion of having “the most unworthy citi- zens of any State that ever entered the Union.” Its fantastic constitution had to be thoroughly renovated before its admission. Since its admission its legis- tature has done little else than graft and fritter away its time in the enactment of spurious and silly legislation Since the admission of this State whose white electorate for the most part consists of the mucker, nomadic, elements of Missouri, Texas and Ar- kansas, it has tried time and again to discriminate against the Negro voter It is to the credit of Governor Haskell that he vetoed her last such scheme. It has now again gone the Southern States one better with their plain, frilled and fancy Negro disfranchising*amend- ments. Under the following hodge- podge grand-daddy and education clause to be voted on at the general election an August Oklahoma will try to exclude her Negroes from the electorate and at the same time include her large Indian and foreign vote No person shall be registered as an elector in this state or be allowed to Note in any’ election held therein unless he be able to read and write any sec- tlon of the conatitution of the state of ‘Oklahoma; but no person who was Jan. 1, 1866, or at any time prior there- to, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at that time re- sided in some foreign nation, or no Mneal descendant of such person shall be denied the right to register and Vote because of Nis inability. to read and write sections of the constitution. We do not believe that Oklahoma's good and progressive people, together with its progressive Negroes, will, be gis- graced by thi tnfair “ind tuba ii lation. As in Maryland, we think that ‘the Republicans and_independent Demo- crats there will vote solidly with the Negroes not only as a matter of justice, but as a matter of self-preservation We repeat what we have said many umes before, Negro disfranchisement 1s on the ehb tule Its day a past This 1s only another foolhardy effort on the part of Oklahoma NIGHT RIDER CONVICTIONS.

We ask the Negro busi- ness man, every individual Negro business man in Greater New York What about New York? None of these doubts will be wholly justified There are actually scores and scores of successful Negro busi- ess mien scattered throughout the city.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Trenton N. J May 4—The thirty- th session of the New Jersey Con- ference of the A M E Zion Church avenged to day at St Paul Church, Bishop George W. Clinton of Char- lotte, N.C. presiding. Among those present when the ses- sion was called to order were Bishop W. Smith of Washington, D.C. and Bishop Caldwell of Philadelphia, Gen- eral Officers J. S. Jackson, W H Coffey, A. M. Herrus, S G Atkins, John F. Brown, and Mrs M. L. Clinton After the organization had been completed the annual sermon was preached by Dr W D Roberson. Communion was administered to the ministers and delegates by the bishops after the Bishop Clinton then presented his delegates and the general officers to the conference. Both Bishops Smith and Caldwell told of the healthy and widespread condition of the work of A. M. E Zion Church, the spirit harmonies, existing among the chief officers, general officers and ministers and the growing intelligence and loyalty of the laity and the hopeful outskirts of the church. The general officers were next introduced and stated that their departments were in a healthy condition, the year having been the most enlightened in the history of the church. Pastor W M Langford, O.D., assisted the ministers and delegates to their homes. There are about one hundred ministers, delegates and mission workers in attendance. During the year several revivals have been held, large additions to the membership at large City, Newark, Atomic City, Westfield, Middletown, Asbury Park and other points have been The financial reports were very encouraging for general claims. Three thousand dollars have been collected besides special collections for the Hood ecological Building at Livingstone College, Salisbury, N.

WME MARKER BACKS MME, MARYBELL BECKS on of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society for this notable financial triumph "Nothing has occurred in present day church endeavor of wider interest and deeper significance than the laymen's movement for world-wide evangelization. The laymen of our own and other distinctly Negro churches should emulate the example of their white brethren. Fraternal, Federal and Organic Union. Few subjects have received more and varied discussions among Negro churches than the subjects of fraternal, federal and organic union during the past quarter of a century. The three large bodies of Methodism controlled by Negroes, viz. the C M E., A M E. and A M E. Zion denominations have made what I regard as substantial progress along the line of fraternal and federal union, having already agreed upon a plan by which the bishops of these churches shall hold triennial meetings, exchange pastors and refrain from overburdening communities with churches where the Negro population will not warrant additional churches of similar creed and polity "I am sure that fraternal and federal union is necessary, and I am as fully satisfied that an honorable basis of organic union is desirable Denounces Rum Traffic. "It is a cause for which we all can rejoice with thanksgiving that the campaign against the rum traffic is still being waged with unabated zeal and encouraging success. True it is that this arch foe of morality, religion and true progress is never so daring, stubborn and determined to hold the ground still left to it, and regain what it has lost as now. "While we as American citizens, entitled to every right enjoyed by every other American citizen feel proud of our government honor our chief magistrate and all who hold official position because of the position by the Holy Scriptures we cannot close our eyes to the injustices and wrongs which we are caused to suffer because of the above conditions, our government has condemned wrong in the past and has been compelled to pay a severe penalty." It seems that post experience might to furnish a good warning for the present and the future. Until the white ness of America has done as much to light up and help forward the Negro as he has done to degrade and keep him back until he has recorded the Negro for change and an unharmed opportunity to come. The liberty and the pursuit of happiness he ought to feel ashamed of ratio to his shortcomings or problem his uncertainty. RESIGNS FROM CONFERENCE Rev. J. O.

C., probably has, in proportion to its population, a larger number of colored people owning their own homes than anywhere else in this state. The houses are usually two stories, roomy, well-built and in the most favorable part of the city. If one were not previously informed before reaching this part of the town, he would as a matter of course conclude that the residents are white people. Truly, this is an instance where the bottom rail seems to be on top. In Franklin, Virginia, is located the Ashburn Bros. Shirt Manufacturing Company. Inc. It was established in March, 1909. Incorporated September of the same year. The capital stock is $20,000 Its daily capacity is from fifty to seventy-five dozen shirts. The number of employees required is forty. The present number operating, about fifteen, the factory building is 45x65 in a one-aure lot. C. R. Patterson and Sons, the Negro carriage manufacturers of Greenfield, Ohio, have recently issued their 1910 supplement. This supplement shows eight new styles as nobly and attractive as ever came from a carriage factory and like all of the Patterson work, these new styles are the perfection of durability and high quality. For years now C. R. Patterson and sons have been among the leaders in their line, and to-day they show more styles of distinctive, professional vehicles than probably any other firm in the country. In addition to this, this firm has made original contributions to the carriage industry. For instance, the Patient Winter Buggy is their latest, and, encouraged by the surprising success of the past winter's sales, preparations on a large scale are now being rapidly pushed for next year's business. There are about thirty workmen (equally divided between the white and colored) employed in this factory. Edenton is one of the oldest and most picturesque towns in North Carolina. The members of the race here are very thrifty and industrious. They constitute more than half the population and are said to own about one-third of the real estate. Of the most prosperous and successful business men and women here are A. D. Jones who does a good merchant and literary business R.

An Appoint for a Settlement Training School I learn that the purpose of this institution is to install in the minds of the Negro youth habits of trust and industry that will best prepare them for useful citizenship to teach them that no honest employment is a disgrace but that labor morality truth virtue and right living are the essentials for good citizenship. The scope of work of this school includes a course in English as well as some of the trades, but practical and scientific farming poultry raising, cooking, housekeeping sewing and general sanitation will be special features of the work in future. A separate business will now be needed for that of girls who are living in idleness surrounded by unwholesome influences and that class of boys who are roaming the streets and woods supplying recruits to the criminal army which is daily bringing disgrace upon the race and retarding the efforts of the better element of the race to contribute to the harmony and good feeling between the races.

One of the latest examples of the remarkable ingenuity and progressiveness of a colored woman is demonstrated in a new improved cutting and fitting chart for ladies' tailors, perfected recently by Mme. Marybell Becks of New York City. The simplicity of its construction and its ready adaptability to all grades of work has caused a widespread interest among those who are authorities on such machines The material is leatherette and the chart comes in six separate parts, which are adjustable to any figure. It is a French system and does entirely away with patterns, and reduces the problem of fitting down to a simple question of measurement. It is predicted that this will quite revolutionize the old and complicated methods used by the user. Part of the cutting and fitting course at the Becks School of Dressmaking and Designing, the largest and perhaps the most thorough institution of its kind in the city of New York. Mme Becks, who was formerly Mme Thomas, of Orange, N. J., has studied under the leading artists here and was a student at M. Gauben's establishment, 3 Rue du Quartre, Paris, France. Mme Becks is an artist in her profession and her establishment is one of the largest and most complete conducted by any woman of her race. The school is thorough in every particular. One of the many advantages connected with it is a tailoring establishment where the pupils get practical training under an expert cutter and fitter. The school is located at 324 West 52d street, and the dress-making establishment and tailoring department is situated at 228 West Fifty-eighth street in a beautiful brownstone dwelling Real Estate News.

DISCRIMINATION CASES IN COURT ON May 10, in the Seventh District Magistrate's Court, Judge Krotel will render a decision touching on the constitutionality of Section 514 of the penal law of the State of New York which forbids discrimination in public places on account of color. Upon the ruling of Judge Krotel will depend whether George Archer and George Knox usheres at Hammersmith Victoria Theatre, will have to stand trial on the charge of forcibly ejecting James J Davis, colored, from the orchestra of the Victoria Theatre last March. The case was called for trial in the Seventh District Magistrate's Court Saturday, and James L. Curtis, attorney for Mr Davis, scored a victory in the preliminary rounds when the court refused to dismiss the case against the defendants upon motion of their attorneys, the point being raised that Section 514 of the penal code is unconstitutional Counsellor Curtis argued in the negative, and Judge Krotel denied the motion of the lawyers representing Messrs. Archer and Knox, instructing both sides to submit briefs on May 10 to support their contentions. What the Law Says Section 514 of the penal code reads as follows Any person who excludes a citizen of this state by reason of race, color or previous condition of servitude, from the equal enjoyment of any accommodation, facility or privilege furnished by inn-keepers or common carriers or by owners, managers or leases of theatres or other places of amusement, or by teachers and officers of common schools and public institutions, or denies or aids or enables another to deny to any other person because of race, creed or color, full enjoyment of any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of any hotel, inn, tavern, restaurant, public conveyance on land or water, theatre or other places of public resort or amusement is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $50 or more than $500. In commenting on the move made by the attorneys for the defendants attacking the constitutionality of Section 514 of the penal law, Counsellor Curtis said: The argument advanced by the lawyer on the opposite side is due to a decision rendered a few years ago in the case of James H. Metcalfe, dramatic editor of Life, who used the theatrical trust for denying him an apology for his theaters. The case was taken to a higher court which decided that a theatre was not a necessity but a luxury and that the owner had a right to exclude those whom he saw fit. We do not contend that a manager has not the right to refuse admiration and that the owner had a right to exclude those whom he saw fit. We charge that a violation of the Malibu Act has been committed when the person is excluded on account of color. In other words, if the managers decided to keep out blue-eyed people they would have to bar all blue-eyed white people as well as blue-eyed black people. We expressly provide against discrimination on account of color. Verdict in Civil Case. The criminal proceedings against the ushers of the Victoria Theatre in connection with the eviction of James J Davis closely follow the civil suit against the Hammersteins which was tried by a jury several days previous in the Seventh District Municipal Court. After deliberating for over two hours the jury in the civil case asked the court for additional instructions, being somewhat confused as to whether the testimony showed that the Hammersteins had instructed their ushers to keep persons of color off the first floor. A verdict was returned in favor of the defendants as the petition failed to show that he had been ejected from the Victoria Theatre at the instance of the Hammersteins. During the trial of the civil suit the Hammersteins denied that its policy to refuse colored persons admission on the first floor and several Negroes were put on the stand to testify that they had been in the orchestra recently. While the civil suit brought by Mr Davis against the Hammersteens has never been considered a strong one as the plaintiff's principal and only witness was his wife, yet the aggressiveness displayed by him in contending for his rights (which might be construed by a few submissive, passive Negroes as an attempt to incite an unnecessary race controversy has already had a beneficial and salutary effect. The colored theatre-goers of Greater New York are being better treated everywhere since publicity has been given the suit Citizene Should Make Strong Test Case. If the Davis civil case had been considered a good one from a legal standpoint an appeal would have been taken to a higher court to determine whether in charging a violation of the Malibu Act is necessary for the plaintiff to show that the owners or managers of a theatre gave instructions to the employees to draw the color line. The constitutionality of the Malibu Act should be settled for all time by the colored citizens of New York instituting a civil suit, at first getting a number of creditable witnesses whose testimony in court would prove beyond any doubt that discrimination on account of color had been made. However, it is suggested that some theatre on Broadway be selected as the scene of operation, where the colored playgoer is given scant consideration. Let us turn our attention to some of the well-known play houses where the management is said to be even reluctant about seating persons of polar in the best first balcony seats. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

Rowland, the trump juggler, and Towel and Towel provided the major part of the entertainment at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week. The Bruises are heading the bill the remaining four days. Rowland is a young juggler who is becoming more and more proficient in the art of equipique and in connection with his balancing duties he furnished a list of things that is enjoyable. Towel and Towel have a singing and dancing act and we predict that more will be heard of the male member of the team in the future. Aside from his rough comedy he sings a ballad better than some singers who take themselves more seriously. Rose Fox and her Picks featured the bill the latter half of last week. The Picks should be given another name, as they are as large, if not larger than Mia Fox. If one of the young men does not become afflicted with an enlarge, theanium pickle 'he should manure in AI perform in time. He can effectively put a song over the footlights and is the most graceful dancer that has played at the Crescent Theatre. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS The Brinkley's are at the Casino Theatre, Altoona, Pa.

RIKER Manager of New Amsterdam Musical Association and Jim. In discussing the Negro theatre the one prominent point that should be borne in mind is that they should not be bound thought of as a luxury for the teacher or a temple of education. The lesson given for the creation of schools as that they are an absolute necessity for the safety, welfare and treatment of any nation and as the theatre is daily being more of an educational form of education so to my mind is properly conducted theatre owned controlled and managed by competent Negroes as much a necessity for the safety, welfare and higher education of the race as the school and a theatre to be properly conducted along these lines can only exist when it is free from the purpose of group or individual aggrandization of the stage and should be kept up and maintained by the colored capitalist. It will come to this in a short while in the meanwhile we must do our best to help that work along. I would advocate the theatre as an educator a builder of character, a joygiver by showing the people the beauties of cloud sunshine and mother earth Goodness, beauty and knowledge are sisters who cannot be sundered without tears Why is it that our moneyed men have been sold into developed this enterprise? Are they frightened at the undertaking. Sometimes I think that it is such antiquated prejudice against the female For a logical reason whatever this antagonism still exists in the minds of many good people. They get this teaching often from some alternate preacher who has never studied the history and good influence of the stage As a people we are afraid of theatres. This is wrong for the theatre is the mirror of life. If it reflects evil it is because our lives are evil. If it is snobish, it is because we are snobish. If it is vulgar and sentimental, because we are vulgar and sentimental. You cannot cure and ill by expressing the symptoms. A healthy public opinion will produce a healthy and honest drama and it is the beginning of this public opinion that is demanding the establishment of Negro theatres in all cities where there are from fifteen thousand or more colored people, so that our poets, playwrights and actors contribute to the world and inspire good thoughts in the minds of the young. There might be many a drama written by some of our people that would suppress race feeling if there were only some theatre in which they could express their ideas upon its stage. In such a manner we could be compelled to white race, criticized by the white press and demand the respect and appreciation of all races. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER A WALTON NEXT Sunday the Royal Giants last season colored champions, and the Chicago Giants, which is owned by Frank Leland of Chicago will formally open the baseball season of 1910 the Royal Giants playing the Ridgewoods at Meyerrose Park Brooklyn, and the Chicago Giants opening in Indian City, being in the City League. The Tons of Greater New York need not be surprised if they see Sol White, for many years manager of the Philadelphia Giants, and who knows the game from A to Z directing the players on J W Connors team for a deal is said to have been consummated this week which will bring the veteran player to New York. For many years Messrs Schleicher and White mustsls run the affairs of the Philadelphia Giants without a bitch but over a year ago they had a misunderstanding Sol White forming a team which was outlawed by the Colored League. When Homerun Johnson jumped to the LeBron Giants a few weeks ago, tenon Condon opened negotiations to bring Sol White to New York. However it was not until Tuesday that owner Schieffer of the Philadelphia Giants agreed to hit the ban against White for playing outlaw ball. With White acting as manager of the Royal Giants the two workers had win against White again. But in Chicago the baseball situation is still in a muddle. Frank LeBron seems to have the better of the argument at this time as his team the Chicago Giants is in the City League in which the LeBron Giants formerly hold membership. The decision of the court enunciating Manager LeBron from using his name in connection with any baseball club caused him to name his team the Chicago Giants. Nat Strong retains the League's right to state that the LeBron Giants have been outlawed as well as the Cuban Giants which rules the question. Where will these two teams play? The Philadelphia Giants will be a strong factor in the fight for the pennant this season. The team made its first appearance last Sunday against the Ridgewoods and host to the last game of the season. With a wild throw by Pleter the new catcher on the Quaker team who be the way is going to make good. The Philadelphia Giants had the Ridgewoods shut out up to the ninth innning. With two men out one man on this and another on second Pierce which started the trouble which is tied in a victory for the Ridgewoods. JACK JOHNSON BUTTON... Now selling all over America.
