'CHIEF JUSTICE' UNDER A CLOUD Jen Davis of Odd Fellows, is Charged With Violating Revenue Laws NDICTED BY GRAND JURY Case Continued in Federal Court from Time to Time, Defendant Alleging Ill Health COURT RECORDS PRODUCED Hundreds of Odd Fellows Throughout the Country Object to Davis Holding High Position in Order Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Washington, D. C., March 21.—When E. H. Morris made his savage enslaughter against B. J. Davis at Richmond, Va., in 1906, Henry Lincoln Johnson came to Davis' rescue and said that he was his lawyer and had begged for a trial and could not get it; that Davis was indicted on the testimony of two men, one of whom was a convicted perjurer and the other an ex-penitentiary convict; that Davis would never be tried because it was known that these witnesses were disqualified and that it was easy in the South to trump up charges against a Negro leader or federal office holder by reason of race prejudice. The B. M. C. believed "Link" Johnson and agreed Morris' effort to dis- Davis down by an overwhelming majority.

Special to THE NEW YORK ADR. Richmond, Va., March 21—The affairs of the True Reformers are still in a chaotic condition and the officials are reluctant in giving out interviews. Much of the true condition of the order is being kept from the members and everybody, with the exception of those on the executive committee, which is composed of Richmond men. Counsellor Newsome is diligently working in interest of the members who are relying upon the organization to keep its contracts for their protection. Newsome is said to have stopped the sale of the True Reformers' building in Washington last week, and it is stated that he again defended the plans of those antagonistic to him. Queries are being about as to why it is that the Old Folks' Home report was neglected-hold at the last session of the Grand Fountain and the committee appointed by Worthy Grand Master Holmes to investigate Thomas Taylor's management of its affairs was discountened by Holmes when the committee made its report to him before the convening of the extra session, especially when this committee claimed a shortage amounting to thousands of dollars. Interesting developments are expected from this action. W. L. Taylor Define Position W L Taylor, the former head of the order, seems not to be concerned about the affairs of the organization and says that he is not going to pay back any monies to the fraternity. It is alleged that he will not contribute to the fund being raised to rehabilitate the order, claiming that he is a poor man. W P Burrell, of the old regime, is evidently the brains of the executive department of the organization. The Commissioner of Insurance in this state and the men of large affairs admit this statement to be true. There are other men who have the ability to bring this organization out of its present condition, but with one exception they are not on the executive committee composed of residents of Richmond. Daily the consensus of opinion is revealing a fact, that is the organization in its apparently insolvent state is not able to pay Holmes $2,000 per year, when the results are found wanting. Some claim that when the question of Holmes' salary was brought up in the extra session, Holmes would not "unload." The leading colored men of this city have endeavored to help the organization, but it is quite evident that there is a desire to accept their honey, and that is all. Such men as Professors Dudley and McRary, Dr. J. E. Dellinger of North Carolina and men of their callie who were prominent in the deliberations of the last session to uncover things, with the exception of several persons in Richmond, are not in the position to protect the interests of the members in the! respective states. LEWISACCEPTS AFPOINTMENT Will Go to Washington. This Week and Assume Duties of Assistant United States Attorney General - Napier in Office. Special to The New York Times Washington, D. C., March 23.—With the recent appointment of William H. Lewis to a position in the Department of Justice there will be no further big appointments made among colored politicians which can now be foreseen for the next twelve months. It is thought that the present officeholders are fairly well set at least until after the next elections in 1915, and the political field is not offered the same amount of interest as previously save that there are a number of colored politicians in Washington who believe the presidential program includes the filling of more offices by colored men in the northern states. Mr. Lewis is expected in Washington this week, having accepted the recent appointment made by President Taft. He will probably reach the capital city Friday. The discussion of that phase of the situation which was most unfavorable to the colored appointed namely, that his appointment was not honored by Mr. Wickersham, has taken a different turn since the newspapers have announced the probability of various important cabinet changes whereby Mr. Wickersham will have little concern as to whom his assistants are, he taking another portfolio than that of attorney general. Mr Napier, who now occupies the office of Register of the Treasury, is not in the same location as his predecessors have been, nor is his office force quite so large as theirs. This condition is due to the general administration policy of retrenchment affecting all branches of the government at the capital. The change will have no material effect on the number of colored men appointed in the office of the register. There is a persistent rumor, which up to date has defied corrosion, to the effect that Mr. Vernon, former Register of the Treasury, will be given a place similar to the one occupied by Nelson Crews in the Agricultural Department. It is not thought probable that such an appointment will be immediate, but that if it is made it will be given out in the fall or the early part of next year. HOLD INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE Handiwork of Pupils Ellicits Preside- Mary Alexander in Honor of Negro Education Made. Special to THE NEW YORK AGN. Hagerstown, Md., March 21.—The first industrial conference of the colored schools of Washington County was held last week in Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church. The conference was under the supervision of Benjamin Smith, teacher in the industrial training department of the colored schools of this city. It was originally planned to hold the sessions of conference in Court Hall, but as court is still in session it was necessary to change the place of meeting. In the lower corridor of the courthouse a fine display was made of the handiwork of the colored industrial pupils, including drawing, paperwork, garment-making, cabinet-making, etc., reflecting much credit on the part of the pupils. A writing desk and a stand, finished in mission style, were equally admired. Benjamin Smith presided at the several sessions. Addresses were made by State's Attorney Alexander Armstrong, Jr., Prof. Elija Freeman, principal of the Colored School, and Dr A. B. Wilson At the morning session President McDonald, of Storer College, Harper's Ferry, Professor Wintere, in charge of agricultural work of Storer College, and Prof C H Williams, supervisor of schools of Wicomico County, were the principal speakers. Addresses delivered the morning by Superintendent M Bates Stephens, William S Powell, of the State Board of Education, and City Councilman Harry S Cummings of Baltimore. ADDRESSES LEGISLATURE. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Madison, Wis., Mar 21—Dr Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, who came to Madison for the purpose of delivering an address in the interest of the work of his school, under the auspices of the First Congregational Church of Madison, was specially invited to deliver an address before the joint assembly of the Wisconsin Legislature. He spoke last week before the body. The audience room was packed to suffocation and many hundreds were turned away Governor Eberhart and other state officials were present. Dr. Washington spoke in Des Moines before coming to Madison and was invited to speak before the Iowa Legislature, but on account of the close connection of his dates was unable to do so TRUSTEES CHANGE MINDS. Special Correspondence of Tenn Age. Baltimore, March 22.—The sudden cessation of all negotiations on the part of the trustees of a white Methodist congregation that had some time ago decided to sell its property to Payne Memorial M. E. Church for $41,700, has occasioned much comment here. The congregation of Payne Church had agreed to pay $30,000 in cash and to give a second mortgage of $11,700 for the remainder. The pastor of the white church said that the colored congregation had met all of the stipulated conditions, but that an opposing faction of the trustees of his church had taken advantage of the absence of a short attendance at a meeting of the board. Rev. P. W. Wortham is the pastor of Payne Memorial Church. ork Age. TUTORS ARE FORCED TO LEAVE HOWARD Thomas M. Gregory and Forrester B. Washington Resign VIOLATED RULES OF SCHOOL President Thinkfield Received Anonymous Letters About Young Men Frequenting Thirt Emporiums. Special to THE NEW YORK AGN. Washington, D. C., March 22.—A tempest of excitement has been stirred up in social and educational circles at Washington, caused by the forced resignation last Thursday of certain tutors at Howard University who are well known eastern college men. Thomas Montgomery Gregory, Harvard's greatest debater of the years 1909 and 1910, and Forrester B Washington of Tufts College, 1910, have been connected with the academy at Howard University since last September. They accepted dormitory accommodations with the academy students as preceptors where they became acquainted with the strict rules existing there against smoking or any relationship with intoxicants. About two weeks ago the two young men walked down town. It was a windy March day and one of them complained of a cold and thought he might ward it off, by the use of spirits. Although not by any means familiar with the location of Washington's liquor palaces they found Gray's restaurant where having obtained refreshment they came out and walked up the street Later an anonymous communication was sent to President Thirkield of Howard University, saying that his academy tutors were frequenters of saloons and naming the incident mentioned above. The president called the young men before him and they readily committed their action as related in the letter. A meeting of the dean's committee was then held, the resignations of Mr. Gregory and Mr. Washington were asked for and given and the action then taken was confirmed by the executive committee of the board of trustees of the university. The young men were sent off without recommendation. They have become very popular in Washington especially Gregory whose parents are well known here. There is a very large element of sentiment among professional and university men to the effect that the tutors have been too severely dealt with and that their greatest punishment should have been a reprimand or probation, especially as no such discipline as they were compelled to undergo at Howard University is known in the larger eastern colleges from which they recently graduated. Belief Expressed That Tutors Were too Severely Dealt With. While no one seems to doubt that Dr. Thirkield's ground in asking resignations from these young men is tenable, those who are his friends are no longer hesitating to tell him that the summary dismissal from his teaching corps of these two young men is decidedly unpopular among the university student body and in social and educational circles. A hubub of protest has been aroused in the capital city by those who understand that two very capable young men who have made a good record as teachers are being driven from the educational field in such a way that it will be very difficult for them ever to return to the vocation of their choosing. It is thought strange that any attention would have been paid to anonymous communications at the university and this feature of the case is proving of decided interest, since evidence has been promised to show that the letter was written by a party who was seeking one of the vacated positions. Other young men connected with the case through the letter to President Thirkield have branded the statements about them as grossly false and have successfully proven an alibi.

Washington Brutally Attacked by Big, Burly White Carpenter and Confederates—Ulrich's Case Sent to Special Sessions—Tuskegeean Looking for Auditor of Tuskegee Institute When Assaulted—After White Man Learns Educator's Identity He Then Charges That Dr. Washington Flirted With His Wife—Whites and Blacks From Every Section of the Country Send Letters and Telegrams Deploring Incident—Patient Seriously but Not fatally Injured Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., and the acknowledged leader of the Negro people of this country, was brutally assaulted and painfully injured last Sunday evening by Albert Ulrich, a white carpenter, residing at 11 1-2 West Sixty-third street. Ulrich, who was immediately arrested after committing the uncalled for attack, will have to stand trial for his unjustifiable actions. When he was first made prisoner he was only given his temporary liberty when a $1,500 bail was furnished, pending further examination. The condition of Dr. Washington while serious is not considered fatal. The renowned educator bears many marks and bruises which tell in undeniable terms that he was the victim of a big mistake, and that his assailants first attacked him from the rear and used other than hands in the attack. The Tuskegeean is under the doctor's care in his rooms at the Hotel Manhattan. In the room where he is confined flowers are in evidence everywhere. Dr. Washington has been the recipient of hundreds of letters and telegrams from every section of the country, particularly the South, from friends and admirers of both races, deploring the incident and wishing him a speedy recovery. One of the first telegrams to be received was from Joseph O. Thompson, Collector of Internal Revenue from the State of Alabama. Among the callers on Dr. Washington during the week have been Andrew Carnegie, ex-Mayor Seth Low, William J. Schieffelin, George McAeny, President of the Borough of Manhattan; District Attorney Whitman, Lawrence Abbott, managing editor of of the Outlook; Clarence White Watson, capitalist; A. S. Frissell, president of the Fifth Avenue Bank; ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, and Collector Charles W. Anderson. Dr. Washington is highly gratified with the many evidences of esteem shown him by members of his race. He has been overwhelmed with letters from North, East, South and West, in which the writers make known their warm admiration for the head of Tuskegee, and express themselves deeply grieved at thvicious and unwanton attack made on him. Among the New Yorkers to send letters were Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church; Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church; Chief Edward E. Lee, Counsellor James L. Curtis, Anthony McCarthy, Frank H. Gilbert and Ralph E. Langston. Dr. Washington was assaulted while looking for Daniel G. Smith, white, auditor of Tuskegee, who was expected to visit a cousin living in West Sixty-third street, whom the educator expected to see on important business relative to the school. The attempt of Ulrich to bring his wife into the controversy, alleging that Dr. Washington flirted with her, is discredited by all Many who have seen the woman and noted her personal appearance since the assault say that there was no possibility of Dr. Washington having tried to flirt with Ulrich's wife. What is considered singular about the charge is that at the station when Ulrich was locked up he also wanted Dr. Washington made a prisoner, then making the charge of trespassing. Nothing was said of any attempt on the part of the noted Negro to flirt with the Ulrich woman. No one was more surprised than Dr. Washington to learn later that an endeavor would be made by Ulrich to clear himself of the assault charge by bringing in his wife. Ex-Mayor Seth Low who is president of the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute, after a conference with Dr Washington at the Hotel Manhattan, gave out the following statement last Monday afternoon As president of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Institute I was shocked to read this morning of the assault that had been made upon Dr. Washington last night. The facts are these: Dr. Washington reached New York on Battleship from Michigan Yesterday morning he spoke at the Mt. Olivet Church, and in the afternoon at the Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn. In the evening, about 9 o'clock, he started out to find Mr. Smith, a certified public accountant, who is the auditor of Tuskegee Institute, a white gentleman, who he appointed to find staying with friends at 11½ West Sixth-third street. Iceman who met them. From the time Dr. Washington left the hotel until he was assaulted he spoke to nobody, neither man nor woman. The trustees of Tuskegee Institute have absolute confidence in Dr. Washington, and they will give to him whatever support and aid he needs. Dr. Washington made a vigorous and absolute denial of the Ulrich charge. Several white tenants in the building declared that Dr. Washington had no entered the hall from the vestibule and that he had done nothing more than examine the names on the letter boxes. One man who lives one flight up a the address is B. H Benton, who says he writes under the name of 'Rob Roy' and is employed at the Gaiety Theatre says that his two daughters came home while the educator was in the vestibule but that the stranger did not moke This is an apartment house of the type occupied by different families on different floors, whose names appear with balls on an index below. When Dr. Washington first arrived, he had a vestibule, but could get no reply to the bell he rang. And so he moved up and down the street and around the neighboring block where the New Theatre stands, and returned to the house two, and three times, but not the house. On his third visit he entered the vestibule and was leaning over to try to find the name he was looking for, when suddenly a man rushed In from the street and began to assault him. He defended himself and got out into the street, when a second man tried to escape, when both he and the first of his assailants were taken to the station house by a po Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS EDUCATOR OF ASSAULT Attacked by Big, Burty White Carrich's Case Sent to Special Sessions—Director of Tuskegee Institute When As-S-Learns Educator's Identity He Then Flirted With His Wife—Whites and the Country Send Letters and Tele- tient Seriously but Not fatally Injured in, principal of Tuskegee Institute, ledged leader of the Negro people assaulted and painfully injured last March, a white carpenter, residing at Ulrich, who was immediately arrailed for attack, will have to stand.

Benton declares that his daughters reported to h' that the Negro was respectful in b demeanor. The theatrical man also says that a young woman who is known to his daughters told of standing at the head of the stairs with two of her Sunday men callers and that she was there when the two Benton girls entered the hall, and when the Ulrich woman went out with her dog and when she returned, and was there when Ulrich came out of his flat and started the row. The girl is emphatic in her declaration that the Negro never entered the hall, but that he was observed all the time he was engaged in the vestibule. The testimony of these witnesses appears to offset the charges of Ulrich and bears out what Dr. Washington has to say in giving his version of the affair. ) The service was well attended in the weather, but owing to the condition of the weather the evening service was not so well attended. Rev. James praised both morning and evening. The evening service was held in the school were the best that department had. Many recitations were rendered by the little children and Mr. Geo. W.

Memorial services were held Sunday morning for the members of Bethel Church and Sunday School, who have died during this past conference year, with the church holding a full regard to each member. The services were well attended. In the evening Dr. Ransom filled the pulpit, greeting a very effective sermon, and the "Daughters of the Elks" were present to watch. This year Bethel Church will celebrate its 50th anniversary at Bethel Church, beginning April 10 and continuing a week. Mother Zion Alonan and St. Mark's Circle will present the pastor will preach to the "Wayman Circle of "Kings Daughters" next Sunday night at which time there will be a presentation by Ransom lectured for the "Knights of Pythias" in Bridgeport, Conn., last Tuesday night. St. Luke's Big Meeting. There was a successful entertainment given by Guardian Angel Council, No. 523. Independent Order of St. Luke, last Friday evening at new Moses Hall on 80th street. The ladies of the committee spared no effort to entertain us, as it was their duet attempt. Music was furnished by the New Amsterdam Orchestra, led by Harry Stout. During the entertainment the guests were entertained by Billy Nichols, ventriloquist, and guests came from Philadelphia, Boston and New York. The floor was in charge of Miss Ella Harry. The committee was composed of Johnh Briase, Mrs. Catherine Lee, Mrs. Emma Green, Mrs. Mary Moore, Mrs. Georgia Glbba, Miss Mabel Thubbille, Abe Willa, Mrs. Grace Briscoe, Mrs. Hattie Parker, Mrs. Mattle Bruce, Mrs. Emma Green, Mrs. Bobbie Willa, Mrs. Willa, Mrs. Ricks and Mis Mamle Jenkins was chairman of the committee. Union Baptist Church For the past two Sundays the pastor preached on the international Sunday School lesson, those who were present at 12 a.m. on Sunday past bad great treat in the church. At 12 a.m. on Sunday morning he also showed that the thousands who had gone to prison and wrecked morality had gone to their graves on account of strong drink. So forcible was the sermon that no one could resist. The Sunday School at 2 p.m. under Superintendent W H Johnson was well attended. Lesson studied and catechised by the assistant superintendent, Bro. J W Bishop. The Bible lesson for Sunday School amended to 422.01. Sister A Williams has shown herself to be the right leader for the young people. At 7.30 p.m. Mav. J. Garris preached a very helpful sermon on The Love of God. Brother Garries preached a very helpful sermon on the Baptist Church. Our pastor made a trip to Poughkeepsie to preach for Dr. Eberris and his good people, at the Ebenres Baptist Church. Even though there were several inches of snow, it did not stop the from turning out to hear the word of God. On Monday evening he lectured to a very large audience on How To Keep Young Converts in the church. At the close of the service, the pastor under the direction of Deacon Hazel served refreshments to the crowd that stayed. Mother Zion. Last Sunday services were well attended all day at Mother Zion Church. In the morning the pastor spoke from the text. Therefore I say unto you, all things whatsoever have received them, and ye shall have them." The object of the sermon was to show that the Lord Jesus and the Father are not only willing, but are able to fulfill their promise to answer prayers to them and who believes he has whatever he asks for. At the Sunday School session short addresses were made on the subject of Temperance by Rev Joyner and Rev Edwards, the pastor of West 183rd street. The Sunday School is making preparations for Easter Mme. Johnson, our organist, will have charge of the Easter Rally for the church as in former years. All the members and friends at the evening service the pastor preached an excellent sermon from the text, "Watchman, what of the night." His remarks were especially addressed to five members of the congregation, the singing evangelist, very feelingly, "Here Am I, Send Me, Send Me." The services were very impressive.

Regular Correspondence of THE AGR Philadelphia, March 22—Miss Mabel M Rorer, on behalf of the First Untarian Church of this city, pays the following tribute to the late Mrs. Frances E W Harper, the poet. "The recent death of the noted authoress and lecturer, Mrs Frances E W. Harper, removes from the First Untarian Church of Philadelphia one of its oldest and most faithful members and brings to a close a life of self-sacrifice and public usefulness covering a period of more than seventy years. From the days of early womanhood her gifted pen and persuasive voice have been ceaselessly devoted to the moral and spiritual advancement of her race, for whether directed toward the abolition of slavery's insidious evils or zealous in the advocacy of the peace movement, or laboring for the abatement of intemperance, her consecrated espousal of every cause for human betterment made her the leader and inspirer of thousands of men and women who came within the ever-widening circle of her influence The reforms of her day attracted many generous and noble spirits, but for high enthusiasm, exalted purpose and unconquerable hope Mrs Harper was easily among the first. Her radiant personality, so quiet, yet so strong, interpenetrating alike her greatest duties and her humbest tasks with something so noble, sweet and good made her life a glorious service and her memory a benediction. An excellent musical program was rendered at the First African Baptist Church on last Thursday evening by the Philadelphia Concert Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. E. Gilbert Anderson. The orchestra was ably assisted by the choir of the church, under the leadership of Prof. R. Henri Robinson, and there was a fairly large audience in attendance. The concert was given for the benefit of the church, under the auspices of the Century Club. The St Thomas Literary Association of the St Thomas P. E. Church gave a very excellent musical and debate was Thursday evening. Those who participated in the musical were Preston Slowe, who sang a very excellent solo; Henry West, who rendered a very pleasing piano solo, and Katie Katie Warring whose vocal solo brought forth many encores. The debate, Resolved, "That the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Federal Constitution has protected the Negro in the exercise of his civil and political rights," was the real attraction, and it drew to the church one of the largest audiences in the history of the association. On the affirmative side were Messrs. W. T. M. Johnson, Joseph E. L. Mayo and Samuel Barrett. On the negative were Messrs. J. Luther Martin, E. B Webb and J. W. Love. The affirmative argued with considerable force and erudition that notwithstanding lynchings, disfranchisements and the like on the part of many of the states, the 14th and 15th amendments did protect the Negro in the exercise of his civil and political rights. The negro put up a very Elegant five rooms, bath, hot water supply, and good yard for children to play. Rents, $17.50, $18.00, $19.00. Apply owner E.

Olivet April 4—Creditt to Speak. The Baptists of New York City and vicinity are preparing to hold a monster meeting at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in West 53rd street on Tuesday, April 4, at 8 p. m., in the interest of the New England Missionary Baptist convention, to which the public is invited. President Wm A Creditt, D.D. of Philadelphia, Pa., who succeeded the late Rev. W T. Dixon, and Secretary A. Mark Harris, D.D., the Jersey City pastor, will speak. Short addresses will also be made by Revs. R. D. Wynn, Wm. Moss, A. Clayton Powell and others. A splendid musical program has been arranged by Miss Eva J. Harris of Jersey City. It is the purpose of the officers of the New England convention to hold similar meetings in the larger cities within the conventional district, which extends from Maine to Virginia, and west to the Ohio river, to create a healthy sentiment among the Baptist forces in the work of the convention, and bring to the annual meeting which will be held in June at Providence, R. I., the largest delegation in the history of the work. Williamsbridge Notes The meetings of the Ladies Auxiliary become more and more interesting each week. On Sunday afternoon despite the inclement weather a large crowd turned out and an interesting program was rendered under the direction of Miss Inez A Walters, assisted by the Literary League of Greater New York. Prof. Adena Minott delivered a very interesting and practical talk on "The Choice of a Vocation," and Col Roscee Conkilling Simons delivered a speech that will be long remembered by all who heard it. Next Sunday Mrs. G Berkley will have charge of the program and John G Bruce will be the principal speaker. Friends are very thoughtful in sending tokens of cheer to little Thelmia Brown and among them is Dr. E. G Clifton of St. David's Church, who keeps the sick room bright with flowers from the altar every Sunday. New Rochelle, N. Y. The annual Thanksgiving services of Freeman Lodge, K of I, was held at Shiloh Baptist Church and Dev W H. Shilator and David Dew more thing than a theme "What must I do to be saved?" Rev. Shilator brought home to his hearers that it matters not bwat position a man may hold it is character that makes his worth. Sir J Howard Harper told a few facts about Taylor the boy not in full and the boy will be a fun of lythans some day. Sir Taylor deserves great credit for his work along that line. Miss Mamie Burroughs of Washington, D. spoke at Bethesda Baptist Church morning and the church filled to its utmost. Miss Burroughs certainly a plain speaker and goes straight at the present-day veils that are so common among our people.

Washington, who was struck down by two assailants Sunday night as he bent over a row of letter-boxes in West 63d street, whither he had gone on an errand connected with Tuskegee Institute, saved him from the humiliation of the police of New York, a stupidity soaked in ignorance and shame, and that is eager to accept the word of a white man whose business is dog-dealing over and against the word of the greatest of all of his race. Neither white men nor colored men entertain for one moment the wicked insinuations against Mr. Washington with respect to his conduct on that evening. These insinuations were not made until the silly charge of trespassing against Mr. Washington had been dismissed, and the surprised assailant found himself in the toils, and compelled to answer to the law for wilful and felonious assault upon an unoffending gentleman. To the intelligent it must be amusing to read that Dr. Washington, whose record, open book that it is, is beyond reproach, would or could make the slightest advance toward any woman. That one suggestion robbed the matter of any serious aspect, and but for the brutal attack upon him, would subject the incident to the ridicule of those that think. It must have been a source of comfort to the great leader as he lay like a wounded lion, to have pouring in upon him from all quarters, from the north and the south, from black and white alike, telegrams and letters, not only marked by deepest sympathy, but charged with the indignation of decency outraged in its own castle. His fame, he saw then, was sure, because it is built upon character. We know nothing of the zeal or figures of the "prognosticators." We do know that this country will not vote its affairs into the incompetent hands of the confused Democratic party. "If the men (white) in the South who furnish colored men bread, furnish medicine for their wives," and exhibit the remaining virtues claimed for them by Bishop Walters, desired the affiliation of colored men, why is it that it is the law of the South that only white men may vote in a Democratic primary? Did the well-informed Bishop know this? If the Democratic party in the States in which are found the great bulk of colored men wanted Negro votes half as badly as Bishop Walters wants them to stand up for the Democratic party, would the leaders exclude them by law from participation in party affairs? The Bishop will likely read the sermon on the Mount and say yes. But an army recruiting men doesn't pass laws to keep them from enlisting. Out of ill comes good. When the white brutea struck down Mr. Washington because they knew that public sentiment is seldom provoked against attacks, either of hand or mouth, upon colored men or women, they testified to the growing insolence of outrages upon colored people as a separate race. And yet this mob of two aroused the north to the urgency of the call to stand up against the brazen and encroaching mob spirit and made it plain to colored men everywhere that Caesar, gone drunk, hears no plea and that they themselves must be prepared to protect and defend their homes and their honor. We are glad to know that Champ Clark told the Bishop that "representative men of the Democratic party" decided to treat colored men more decently. We are happy to see Sulzer chairman of a special committee to help along in the work. But has not Champ Clark always favored disfranchisement in Missouri? And Sulzer, how many colored men are in his district? Was Mississippi, or Alabama, or Louisiana, or South Carolina or Georgia represented in this "council of warriors?" Of what good profit is it for Democrats from Massachusetts or Pennsylvania or Illinois to declare one thing when the ruling masters of their party declare another? Dr. Chas. F. Aked, rated high as a preacher, has resigned the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, and the church will soon be looking about for a preacher. The Act suggests that the church extend a call to the Rev. C. T. Walker, of Augusta, Ga., who is about the ablest preacher in the Baptist Church. Dr Walker might not care to give up his work at the Tabernacle Church in Augusta, but since he and Mr. Rockefeller are old cronies, the trillionaire ought to be able to make the great divine see things right. The Bishop may not have considered the race problem a problem of politics And yet, in measure, it is a political question In what Republican city or state, cities and states under usual dominance of that party, may we find disfranchising, and Jim-crow laws? Turning the leaf, in all the states where we find these expressions of hate and prejudice, under the dominance of what party are they? The Bishop may think the Prohibition party; but not so. They are under Tillman's party and Bishop Alexander Walter's party President Taft has given William H. Lewis a recess appointment as Assistant Attorney-General, and during the week Mr. Lewis will be sworn in Perhaps two or three Southern Senators will shoot off a lot of hot air against the confirmation of Mr. Lewis in order to please the hill billies and crackers, but Mr. Lewis will be confirmed all right. The report may be true that Booker T. Washington recently advised a division of the colored vote. We have heard that charge often. But did the thoughtful Bishop ever consider how tenaciously the great and wise Leader holds on to the Republican party? Bishop Walters is too good and useful a man to show ability so small in turning over great political problems. It may never have occurred to him that in what we have said concerning colored men voting the Democratic ticket in the North as a consequence of Mr. Taft's attitude towards colored men in the South, we sought to check any wholesale departure of colored Republicans from the party by destroying the cause, in order to further safeguard what little prestige and rights the foraging Democrats have left our men, where our men are largely to be found. We have had no criticism to offer against colored men voting for Tammany Hall because here there are no political or racial questions involved, and because we believe that the leaders here have neither exacted nor expected that The big pow-wow, called the National Association, etc., having pow-wowed out in New York, that is fortunately impatient of whining problem-solvers, will be held this year up Boston way, where the people like big talk from empty heads. Running over the list of the committee in charge we fail to see the name of the saviour of his country, the mirifical savant of the "movements." So soon, already, have the eagles fought in the heavens, and parted company. colored state would carry their Democratic alliance and enthusiasm one step further than Tammany Hall. Personal allusions are not permissible in debate, but the editor of "The Age" helped recently to honor Edward E. Lee, because Edward E. Lee has proven to be not only a good citizen, but a sensible man in spite of his local political affiliations. When Democratic conventions in the North make demands upon the South for just treatment of colored men it will be time enough to talk seriously with the Bishop. What large share of money does Tuskegee get from Alabama? The State has never given Tuskegee more than $4,000 per annum in twenty-five years, and several years ago the Democratic representative from Macon County objected to that amount. Alabama ought cheerfully to appropriate $400,000 per annum for Tuskegee. Alabama disfranchised its colored men a few years ago. Did Oscar W. Underwood, the new Democratic chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, cry out against the shame of it? Perhaps Walters heard him. And so we might spend word upon word in exposing the shallow pretensions and misrepresentations of a high man of the Church, for whom "The Age" entertains fond regards, but there is no use of it. Colored men who think, he cannot lead in error's path, and those who do not think, he nor anybody else, can lead in any path at all. Upon the division of the colored vote in municipal elections we greet the Bishop; but upon the proposition to lead colored men to the slaughter by asking them to put into power at Washington the men who have already crushed them to the ground, and from whose organization come the voices trying for the repeal of the war amendments, the political enslavement of colored men and their children, and the degradation of colored women, we say farewell. Nor shall regard or respect bid us keep silent as long as the Bishop indulges the argument of the zealot to catch the fancy of the fool. To be a Bishop requires one kind of knowledge and a great amount of piety. To be an interpreter of political problems requires another kind of knowledge and a little common sense. the chieftest of all bores is the apostate who seeks to convince himself of his virtues by debating his cause with those he has forsaken. In another column will be found a "letter" from Bishop Alexander Walters, who seeks with belabored pen not only to confuse the issue involved in his conduct with respect to political malactivity, and to recoil his discomfiture upon "The Age," but also and particularly to whitewash the infamy of the Democratic party, in whose house of shame he is now a decorated pillar, and to prove to those who thought once that his was a true voice, that in his new house are many mansions and that he has gone to prepare a place for them. If any reputed able man could state his case with greater weakness than that disclosed in the Bishop's lame harangue, "The Age" does not know him. Pity 'tis that we must flay one so lovable as Zion's zealot. The Bishop names a string of men which is supposed to constitute a list of eminent Democrats, and asks "The Age" why no mention was made of them when we read the record of the Democratic party. More than one of the Bishop's apostles we may not call Democrats, and they each of them are men distinguished because they have had no power in democratic councils. Cleveland was not an organization Democrat. The late Gov. Johnson gave not the slightest sign that he had any ocean of love for the colored race, or that he would refuse to bow to Southern Democrats if he might wear their crown. Richard Croker and Charles F. Murphy are not comparable as Democratic leaders, since their attitude in politics was wholly measured and swayed by local conditions. Henry Watterson long ago became disgusted with the very principles of the Democratic party now so affectionately embraced by Walters. Judge Jones of Alabama has not done half as much for the colored race as one colored man did for him, and he was kicked out of the Democratic party for speaking in kindly tones of Bishop Walter's race. William Randolph Hearst is nothing but an office-seeker and a money-changer on the curb of diseased sentiment. Joseph Pulitzer has had it demonstrated to him a hundred times that he has no potent voice in party affairs. Gonzales of South Carolina believes in and advocates disfranchisement. Oswald Villard is a mugwump, and thinks no party good enough to claim his membership. Gov. Northern of Georgia did not open his mouth when Georgia disfranchised colored men. Research has failed to disclose any mighty act performed for colored people by former Gov. Patterson of Pennsylvania. JOHN M. HARLAN. In Munsey's for March Isaac F Marcasson writes an informing article on "The New Supreme Court." Each of the judges Mr. Marcasson writes of in intimate fashion, giving short and impressive records of the career of each. Justice McKenna he says is the only Roman Catholic on the bench. We have always thought that Mr. White belonged also to that faith. The "Legislatures of the South" have made appropriations for Negro schools, but who made the South, who laid up its wealth, who cut its forests and enriched its soil? Tammany Hall is not the Democratic party; 40,000 colored people in New York are not 1,000,000 in Carolina. What organization Democratic Senator save Clarke of Arkansas, whose party disfranchised the Negro only last week, supported the Sutherland amendment? Why did not all the Democrats vote for the Borah bill? Money told why. Percy told why. Tillman told why. They said they were opposed to it because it meant the enfranchisement of the Negro. It is a fine, beautiful tribute that Mr. Marcasson pays to John M. Harlan, the greatest of all the judges, and whose name is always to be closely associated with the mighty tribunal "He is regarded by many people," writes Marcasson, "as being the greatest living interpreter of the Constitution." And as great as any of the dead ones. Bishop Walters may recall that "The Age" criticised Taft for appointing Edward White Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. It was wrong. It is still wrong. It is wrong to compel any Republican to solicit the endorsement of any Democrat to office anywhere. If Mr. Taft exacts that, he is wrong. He may continue this policy, but if the Bishop will turn to his political science or search his own experiences, perhaps he will find our reason for stating that Mr. Taft, though a great and powerful man, is not the Republican party. Mr. Taft, like the eminent and impressive names included in the Bishop's scold, is an exception to party rule. At the immediate expense of the political prestige of coloured men he is seeking to open wider opportunities for them in the future. His method will fail, and some successor will take the way of Grant, of Garfield, of Harrison, of McKinley and Roosevelt, in dealing with political problems at the South. It is possible that the erudite Bishop had not thought of this. We speak of the principles of parties, not the methods of men. What a tribute that is. And how well deserved. And in it is involved the dignity of equality of all men under the law, for John Marshall Harlan as often as cases have presented themselves, has handed down opinion after opinion sustaining every right of colored men, and defining oppression and prejudice with the word of truth. No man can be great unless he is just. The "Great Dissenter" dissented against infamy his associates time after time, has fastened upon loyal a people as the country may boast. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES Some good business opportunities are open in Harlem. Not much capital is required to take advantage of them. The character and needs of the settlement guarantee success to the proper kind of business men. Proper kind is the kind that will attend to business and take care of the trade; refuse to allow a business house to become a loafing center. We have barbershops, saloons, pool patrons and restaurants enough, for the present. Success has come to these businesses because colored people are compelled in a measure to support them. There is room in Harlem now for a furnishing store for men, for a shoe store, and a livery business. A furnishing store and a shoe store, well kept and properly conducted, would pay from the jump, and a livery business would grow into a profitable venture. The criticism, that too many colored men, misled by the success of experienced dealers, are trying to see how well they can fail as real estate dealers, is a just one. Let some young men who want to become business men, and who want to succeed as business men, look around in Harlem and see what they can do on the lines we have suggested. The Philadelphia Tribune is very glad that President Tutt appointed Mr Napier to the Registrieship of the Treasury. The Tribune is not alone in its own. Our esteemed contemporary sees Napier's appointment the decline of the lordship in politics of the Bishops of the colored churches, and adds that the appointment puts in position at Washington a colored man of ripe experience, of independent fortune of polished manners, who is not afraid to look a white man, although he be president, in the eye and tell him what he thinks about a given thing affecting himself or his people. Mr Langston will be the colored man of that type holding office in Washington John Morcer Langston was the only one before him. A compliment that the popular Tennessee will wear well. In many respects John M Langston is the most dignified character in the annals of the American Negro, and now his son-in-law succeeds to his place in correct thinking and right acting in high places. A Massachusetts bishop objects to an appropriation of $50,000 by the city of Boston for the maintenance of the Museum of Fine Arts, because the statues are nude. The next step will be taken by some blushing protector of virtue who will object to babies being born without dresses. INFAMY ON THE RACK INFAMILY ON THE RACE Benjamin Judas Davis, the Georgia flyer, whose mudless wings beat heavily against the air of glory, is after all no soaring angel of light, whatever be his leadings. In another column of to-day's Act will be found a story of Mr. Davis' conduct with especial reference to an indictment of him in the courts of Georgia for mistreating Uncle Sam when Uncle Sam honored him with office, out of which he was put by Col H. A. Rucker, who served his country well, and for which Davis has hounded Rucker with the persistency of a Dawson ratter. Good men and true, as they read the story of Davis, will inquire of this, if of nothing else: Flow may an indicted liquor gauger sit as the Chief Justice of a great order when for years and years he had spent nights and dollars and spilled the ink of flattery this way and that, to escape trial for a crime committed against the government that honored and trusted him? Davis poses as a "big" Negro; leading man, mighty citizen, "the people's choice," and twaddle galore. We doubt not that he has fooled many; but we know that he has not encroached upon the confidence of Mr. Taft, who knows a bad man, not from the draw of his pum, but from the wink of his eye. He knows Ben Davis, and he knows Lincoln Johnson, who has turned earth and attempted heaven to keep Davis out of the courts of Georgia there to answer for his trespasses. The poor Odd Fellows of the country, they must carry their cases to one whose hands are unclean, and whose expense account with them has waxed fat with the turn of the wheels of the trains, and the smell of Philadelphia eggs. If Davis will stand up like a man and answer the indictments against him, he may hope to have a word of weight with great powers, and he may sit with an open countenance in his high chair of Odd Fellowship. In Decatur street it is the wonder how Davis can mislead everybody except the people of Georgia. We ask the readers of The Age to carefully examine the record as here set forth, and then say if this man is clean enough to sit as Supreme Justice of Odd Fellows, or even to hold communion with those that love the truth. A judge must have no indictment standing out against him. NOTE AND COMMENT Old Hickory" whose writings give distinct flavor to the able Dallas / Texas gives in a recent issue of that paper the speech of old Study Bottoms at a recent convention of "scientific farmers." This was too much for Brother Bottoms, who "spoke out." The story goes. The colored farmers living in Red Oak communities decided recently to go into the farming business in an up-to-date promoter of the movement were young men who in their previous efforts had just about succeeded in making one stalk of corn grow where two grow before. They worked up a meeting to which he and previously to them the white farmer told them to the men and outs of corn and cotton raising. He had studied agriculture and was on the job. The meeting was largely attended and the address was a masterpiece in its way. After the chairman called for brief expressions from any one who felt like talking. Among others present was old man Sandy Bottom, who had farmed for the white folks "befo de wah," and had hustled for himself ever since emancipation. When asked if he wished to say anything, he replied: Yes. I'm so full I'm about to bust." Thinking that old gentleman was going to prize the chairman ning, the chairman invited him to come forward. Among the promoters of the meeting were several sons of Mr Bottom, and, strange to relata. # "I know what you fellows hope for. You think by dis here highgalutin' scientific farming you're going to find a substitute for work, but bless God you ain't er gwine to do it! You think you can have your smokhouse in Kansas City, your corn crib in Missouri and you live down here. You buy a house, buy a car, buy twenty years, and have never made enough one year to carry you through the next" 'Cause why? In the summer you lose your fodder and peas by being away attending protracted meetings and such things; and in the fall if you come out a hundred or two dollars ahead you let the merchant outtaly you into buying bigger mules, finer horse, stronger wagons, etc, and then, why 'bout January you've got to know how to talk the merchant into letting you have surplus 300 per cent profit" Do merchant ketches you erway from de base and he perceeds to put you out. He knocks you down and hog-ties you' From a Democrat To the Editor of The New York Age To the Editor of The New York Age In your comment last week on the book *William Salzer's letter* (who is Chairman of the Democratic defining the attitude of the Democratic to the Negro), you call a list of Democrats who have been unfriendly to the black man, but in your haste and zeal to condemn independent Negroes who dare vote as white men do, for their best interest as they see it, you failed to have been friendly to Democrats who have been friendly to the Negro and who have enacted or had enacted legislation in their interest, namely, President Grover Cleveland, Gov J. A. Johnson of Minnesota, Gov Patterson of Pennsylvania, Gov. Northern of Georgia, Richard Croker, Charles Murray, New York, Judge Jones of Alabama, Henry Watterson, the Courter Journal; Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New York World, William Randolph Hearst, editor of the New York American; Mr. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia State, Mr. Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, and northern of eastern, western and congressmen. Why not mention when you are venting your spleen against Negro Democrats that the legislatures of the South have made appropriations to build school houses, to educate Negro children, and did that long before we were born, to pay any appreciable amount of taxes. And we not that any account of the friendly attitude of the Democratic party of New York City that pays thousands of dollars in wages annually to Negroes, more than any Republican administration has ever done. Are we not to give any consideration to the Democratic United States Senators who were the Sutherland amendment to the direct nomination bill of Senators and who finally voted for the bill as it was published. Was it wrong for you to mention that a large share of the money given to Taskege and other Negro schools in the South was donated by Democrats? No. Negroes are we so short sighted at the necessity of having friends and influence with both of the dominant political parties in the House of Representatives in the United States of the State second Congress in Democratic. What wisdom is there in begging that we had nothing to do with putting the friendly Democrats into power? You acknowledge that Mr. Solzler is one. I am sure in this course you do not follow the President. Many of his most important appointments have been given to Democrats of the appointment of the Chief Justice of the United States. He has Democrats in his United States. He has theuest way for a black man to reach his ear is to have the调ent of Southern Democrats. I have been told by the prognosticators of political affinity that the outlook is gloomy for the Republican party in Indiana, a indication point to the election of a Democratic party. In that case it is it the height of wisdom for the Negroes of America to have no part in his election. Is it the essence of wisdom for all the Negroes in Iowa to vote against men who furnish their labor, who loaned their money to buy farm; off mortgages; pay their prison fines; and furnish medicine for their wives when they are ill? Has not the hue of the mouthings of the radicals of the Democratic party been worked about enough? A slogan of Negro domination—Ne so proudly, used for demos so successfully by the white demagogue of the South to keep in line the ignorant whites of the Democratic party? At a meeting held recently of representative men of the Democratic party in the committee room of the Champ Clark at the Capitol in Washington, the party that the attitude of the Democratic party would ard the Negro politically should be more friendly in the future. It seems to me to the proper thing to do is to welcome this friendly advance. If I remember correctly Booker Washington at the close of his trip through North Carolina stated the he endorsed the position taken by his Cement the Star of Zion—a division of Negroism. It is not a fact that the Tillman Jeff Davies, Vardamans and Heath are of less influence in the council's party than heretofore? It ill becomes the editor of The New York Age, after saying so much I favor of the affiliation of the Negro with the Democratic party in order to coerce President Taft in making certain appointments of Negroes to train minors and independent Negroes. Last week the editor was the head of a dinner given in honor of Edward E. Lee, chief of the United Color Democracy of New York City. New York, March 16. ALEXANDER WALTERS POLITICAL NOTES James C. Napier, after many days a waiting but not of want, is finally stalled as Register of the United States Treasury. His commission, most people will be surprised to know, signed by President Taft in August 1910. At least Henry Lincoln Johns and Frank H. Hitchcock, the twins, be interested in this announcement at a banquet tendered Mr. Napier in Napier ville last week, he was styled the leader of Tennessee. This of itself is not teresting, but the palm was given by the brilliant Josiah T. Settle, self the leader of the colored men have affiliated with the Brownlow of the party. William Allen White, the Empor prophet, announces that Bryan is dead. No one has said that he is dead, despite the funeral notice regularly to be found in the Sw. Bryan may not lead his ticket next but he will lead the man who does lead it. Woodrow Wilson has big political aspirations. All colored men may hope that they will never be real Mr. Wilson is one of the gifted, the stubborn, enemies to the progress of the colored race, and is a dangerous enemy to their political equality. If the Democrats must get the nation by throat for four years, Judson Harmon is the best man they have, so far as rights of men go. But we don't imagine that either Mr. Harmon or Wilson be able to defeat Taft. Ralph E. Langston, son of John Langston and chairman of the executive committee of the United Colored Democracy of New York, has been pointed Deputy Superintendent of Elections of the State of New York. PROMINENT PEOPLE Announcement has been made the Henry O Tanner, the celebrated artist will paint a picture of John M Lange, the colored statesman, for Harvard University Mrs Booker T.

The business man will have opportunities that can only be found in a business insure a rapid and steady growth. The farmer can secure land and establish a home with only a few dollars a month—a home that will pay for land in a short time and make the man and his family comfortable, happy and dependent. The professional man will find opportunity for the development of a man is a man regardless of color or good. The wage earner will find his services in demand and will find waiting him in return for work and faithfully performed and the growing town always offers opportunities for investment in a dollar or a week which will in the future be worth a wage payer. The man will find a field of activities that will be comprehended by imaginations. Great colors of the best people are hundreds of families are purchasing properties with the intention of building there in the near future and building stores office buildings, facades and all that goes with experience little with far less limited. Allenworth comprises a collection of souls and areas of fertile level land on the main line of the Santa Fe Railroad about half was between the two greatest cities of the West Los Angeles and San Francisco. An irrigation system is completed there, five and ten acres tracts for farming, five and ten acres an independent for a family, twenty and forty fortune. And there is in a well laid out town where is transacted all the business of a vast and rich farming community. No one can buy any of this property but colored people, and there are such restrictions against liquor and gambling, etc., that will keep out the desirable element. It is a colony of the best people, ambitious intelligent progressive people, where they are. (Continued on Page 5.)

Thomas, the undertaker, has his hands full since he moved to Harlem. He not only has as many funerals as he can properly attend, and in addition his place is the headquarters of everybody and everything in Harlem. The "Chief" himself grows wiser and stronger as he grows grayer, and holds his own as a foremost public-spirited citizen. Smith, the baker in 135th street, reports that business is rushing, and that his people give him liberal patronage. There is a reason—Smith bakes the best bread and mixes the best apple pie in Harlem. J. Frank Wheaton may be blowing in this way soon, which reminds the observer that since the genial commissor got hold of his exalted job, which fits him to a T, court houses have not seen him and judges have not heard his voice. MOVING UPWARDS E. J. Hatfield, Able Ohio Editor, Re- mericans and Plays Tillmore's Kind. (The Sidney (O) Dally Journal) The contention of the argument is that the southern people themselves contribute a very large share toward the existence of these conditions. This then do not other possibilities of the Negro for development, but also by throwing even possible influence in the way of the upift. In an indifferent way southern sentiment concludes that the western man has no industrial training but there is capacity for the higher education or ethical education and religious attestation of its basis in the social system. He is not hardened and has established himself in the high society. We region who are interested as many of has established, because of their own development in the high-status well. The hard is contained in the trait. Where there is hard or education of the hand results there must be The consideration of this subject has been upon us repeatedly and emphatic and dormant announcements that no侵袭 nor advancement has been made by the Negro for the last forty or fifty years. This has been supplemented by the further unaudible statement in the encyclopedia that millions of black people who are ignorant and idiotic. Thus contrasting the marvellous accomplishments of this down-trodden division of the human race since the boom of freedom was given them and discounting and insulting the intelligence of every community in the world, the people and patriotic citizens meet enough embarrassments from this troublesome issue without being compelled to face such illogical and unfounded assertions. The truth of conditions demands the statement of a few brief conclusions, absolutely unassailable, that in 1855 the freedmen started at zero. With the Negro population has the war the relief has shown the development in the best of the civilization the Negro has made the raps the Negro of the advanced in national wealth the prior in white population. In 1900, the Negro began to 14,000 farms north $175. produced 100,000 acres and 100 acres in the southern Negroes were worth $100,000. The furries of the latest war are still data and mates in 1907 the Negro part in the south was worth $100,000. The paid on property and poll tax in the last forty more than $450,000,000. When it comes to their advancement in education a well known and qualified writer says. The history of theology does not do a little other in advance of a wholly illiterate race or fail in inducing its literacy to one single education. He has done so during his own unpaid efforts to help himself to better conditions. It is carefully met that he has paid in the last forty years for education, through their church organizations, at least $1,500,000. They pay a larger proportion of the expense of running their schools, where they have them, than any other class in the land. The state superintendents of schools of Florida and North Carolina, re- specifically, in recent reports, family to what the Degree in these legislation and covering or including more counties in the "black belt" have been and are doing for themselves in the amount of contributions for their own education. Bear in mind, there are many for forty or fifty years and many millions of whom, (the entire population) are ignorant and vicious. A prominent northern clergyman was called by the board of his church having control of the southern branch of the work, to give up a promising career as a preacher and take up the work of one of the many schools of his church in the south for Negro students in a Episcopal church, schooly and cultured. He accepted the duty and spent nearly a quarter of a century in southern North Carolina. In writing on the general subject he says of the work of his church: "Number of churches, 401; ministers, 257; members, 28,872; added last year, 1673. Sunday schools, 882; scholars, 22,249; day schools, controlled by his church. Tributed for self-support by churches, 63,429; by schools, 72,023; to aid other boards of the church, 1,924, total $137,406." In the last analysis we have found in the Negro, human nature of an unquestionable type. What will make another man good will—well. It is the written own opinion based upon the experience of years of close observation, that of all the lowly or peculiarly needy classes in our land, the Negro is more easily within the reach of every genuine Christian influence than any other and is making better use of his opportunities than any other. No improvement for forty or fifty years. The same witness goes on to refer to "the dreadful social question," and says, "It is a myth so far as this class of Negroes is concerned. The Negro is not only making no effort admission to the society of white people they are too deeply interested in the task of making a society of their own which will command the respect of even their enemies, to think about a problem which they could not express desire for without losing their self-respect." Quotations from other well qualified witnesses could be given but the case is too great and broad. What this capable teacher has said of the accomplishments of his church can be said at least a half dozen other representative organizations. Some of the one referred to and all nine overwhelming, not only the great advancement which has been made, morals education and material things, but the immense possibilities for future accomplishments. The southern people themselves are facing a terrible responsibility by approving the rapid increase in the aggressive attitudes of such men as Senator Tillman and others who might be named. They do not want the Negro educated nor brought up to the standards of good citizens. As long as such a policy is pursued, so long will the better days for the south be delayed. The Negro belongs to the south and the south belongs to the south, and the south is responsible for the degradation of slavery. It has been demonstrated what capacity the Negro has for good influences. The northern section will do its part and should have the unqualified and enthastic co-operation of every man woman and child in the southern section. Few government can do nothing. It is constitutionally inhibited from interfering. Upon the southern citizenship rests the burden and responsibility and woe be to it if it ignores or refuses to assume them. Aside from the falsity as to facts it is certainly bad policy to openly proclaim such bald and untenable questions, and summing the question for this article. The ter is gone into at some length not for love of the race but as common justice to all men everywhere. UPHOLD AGE Brooklyn Literary Society Endorses Ago's Attitude Towards W E. Walling. At the regular literary meeting of the West Indian Forum held Sunday afternoon at $31 Gates avenue, Brooklyn, the halfman of the educational department, Louis A. Jeppe, read the editorial appearing in last issue concerning William English Walling. The reading brought forth a lively, interesting and intelligent discussion by the members, who thereupon endorsed the position of The Age. It was resolved that a vote of thanks be extended to The Age for "the very high, noble and far reaching stand it has for the benefit of the race at large." The Forum, fully agreeing with The Age, appointed Louis A. Jeppe and Mortimer Bayley to present the resolutions as mentioned above, and request the prominent publication of the action so that the work taken in noble, manly wise and far-reaching." POOR NEW ROCHELLE Has So Many Political Parties That Come Out or Go In When He Is Coming Out or Go In. Regular Correspondence of THE Age New Rochelle, N. Y., March 15—The little city of New Rochelle is without a parallel in the county of Westchester and in the state of New York and perhaps in the United States. It is a city of great importance and that number divided into three different cities: a Republican as independent and a Democrat. And each following in the steps of the other opening the courts. This is another inclusion of the division between the white who make our population and the Negro who in the New Rochelle tried. And this far more than they will get as they are. They are now a like to the white population down at the white while affairs in jealousy, with the white while affairs in jealousy, and factions that political issues amuse and faction line and do nothing. The services at Methoda lasted all day, they were attended both morning and evening. The pastor Rev. Boddle reserved the real treat for the morning when he took an ash theme presentation and preached a practical service. Rev. Boddle did not spare those who frequent the salons. He knew those who dared to criticize him for not preaching the soul of a man into everlasting peace when that man had the Negroes of our city who constantly changing doctors, who have no confidence in the Negro doctor, not withstanding our one Negro doctor has made an enviable reputation among both white and black. After such a serious most people will be ashamed to call white bystanders unless in consultation with one of our Negro doctors. Syracuse, N. Y., March 15.—A complete list of all contributing to the hospital of the Good Shepherd fund, shows that our citizens have with a liberality and public spiritness never before exhibited in any matter that has been so widely race alone, in common with all other men played their part most excellently.

Popular Pastor of Mainfield Church, in his Garden, Suddenly Expires, in His Garden, Suddenly Expires, Regular Correspondence of Tum Aga Plainfield, N. J. March 15—Seated in an arm chair at his home on West Fourth street, resting after doing some cleaning up in his garden, Rev. J. T. Digga, pastor of the Zion A. M. E. Church, died shortly before noon yesterday. While working he was seized with a feeling of faintness and thinkeriness in his exertion and hunger, he concluded that work was until after he had lunch. The faintness instead of passing over became more pronounced, and calling to his wife told her how he felt but could say no more. Mrs Digga summoned Dr J F Lawson, who hastened to the tricken pastor, but was too Dr R. Mr Digga having expired while the Dr Lawson notified County Physician Westcott, and he will view the body this afternoon.

AS there are at least two sides to every question, and knowing how unfair it is to give publicity to one side without according a similar privilege to the other, I take pleasure in publishing a letter forwarded THE Act by Harry Mountford, secretary of the Board of Directors of the White Rats, in which he writes on behalf of the White Rats, taking exceptions to several charges appearing in the article published in last week's issue under the caption, "A Word of Warning." A copy of an article by Mr. Lester A. Walton appeared in your issue of the 16th was forwarded to me from New York. May I say something to Mr Walton and to yourself regarding this matter? Mr. Walton states "Although less than a year ago efforts were made to induce them to co-operate," etc., etc. "Letters were sent to the officers of the White Rats." If such letters were sent, I have no knowledge of them being received. No letter was sent to me I received on this subject and I, as it well known, am the general organizer and business director of that organization. Mr. Walton further states "However, all manifestations of good will on the part of the colored Thespian were ignored." This is entirely incorrect With respect to the interview which Messrs. Charles H Moore and Anthony D. Byrd had with me, I did not know that this interview was to become public property, or I would have placed everything in writing before these gentlemen, so that there could have been no mistake as to what occurred or what our intentions were at that interview. There was no doubt that the assignment that if the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association failed to join the labor branch, a colored branch would be formed. Naturally we do not wish to oppose or in any way hurt any other organization of artists working for the betterment of their conditions, and therefore we first made the proposition to the C. V B. A. Of course, if that organization cannot see its way to become a protective organization for the colored performer, but will continue to confine its efforts purely to benevolence, a protective organization for the colored artist must be formed, and the artist at the present moment will be of any avail which is not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor; and no protective order of artists can affiliate with the American Federation of Labor except through us. There is no particular odium or discredit cast upon any person by asking them to become a branch of this organization. There is a Hebrew branch; there is a chorus branch; there is a Japanese branch; there is a Hawaiian branch. Why should there not be a colored branch? All self-governing, self-supporting, but working under the direction of our Board of Directors. They elect one or more they control their own finances, and are practically in the position of the States in these United States. It seems to me that Mr. Walton's article is an attack on unilionism, covered up by mis-statements regarding this organization. Up till I read Mr. Walton's article I was unaware there was any feeling of distrust in the hearts of the colored artists of this organization, planted there by us. Any person who time seeks to set the various branches of amusement profession at variance is also amused with the welfare and betterment of conditions but on the contrary by attempting to create distrust and suspicion and feebility between artists, is fighting the battle of the manager. Mr. Walton asks us three questions, which are as follows: 1. If the colored performers join the union will the ban be lifted by the White aRts relative to colored acts headlining the bills on the big time? There never was any such ban, and we defy any person to prove it. This organization has never issued such orders, commands or even requests. 2. Will the white performers refuse to work on a bill whenever a colored act is mistreated? Yes. 3. When a strike is declared will the colored performer be the last to return to work, if at all? No one knows that a strike will be declared. There are other ways of setting differences besides that; but if a strike were declared, all who came out would go back together or no one would go back. I hope that you will give this article the same publicity as Mr. Walton's, and that it may remove some of these hypothetical and imaginary difficulties which your correspondent saw. Secretary Board of Directors. White Rats Actors' Union of America. General Secretary Associated Actresses of America, affiliated with American Federation of Labor Mr. Mountford states in his letter to The Age that he is general organizer and business director of the White Rats. Holding two of the most important offices in the organization, he should know more about its business. Yet, he either shows an amazing lack of unfamiliarity with the affairs of his organization or he has become afflicted with a lapse of memory on some matters affecting the colored vaudevillian—a case which, if true, should attract the attention of some of our medical experts. I personally forwarded Mr Mountford an article written some months ago by myself, in which I suggested that the White Rats co-operate with the colored vaudevillian with a view to establishing friendlier relations between the suces, but as Mr. Mountford does not remember ever having received the communication I will presume that it was misplaced in the mail. Probably Mr Mountford will recall when the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association sent the White Rats tickets to attend an entertainment and ball given a little over a year ago at Madison Square Garden. If the incident is fresh in his memory he will not deny that the tickets were returned with a letter couched in language sufficiently clear for the colored vaudevillians to understand that the White Rats did not care to accept any courtesies from the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association. It was the consensus of opinion among the colored artists that the White Rats could have accepted the tickets with thanks. Nothing more was expected. It is possible that Mr Mountford thinks that the colored performer has become so callous owing to the discrimination to which he is daily subjected on account of color that he is not susceptible to the many little evidences of insecurity which he oftimes encounters. Probably Mr Mountford and his associates were unconscious that they were treating the colored vaudevillian discourseously in returning the tickets for the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association dance, as well as many other similar incidents which might be related if time and space permitted It is rather confusing when Mr Mountford writes that he did not know that the interview between Messra's Charles Moore and Anthony D Byrd was to become public property, when on the other hand he expected them to tell the members of the association Tuesday evening, March 21, all that took place at the conference. There was no occasion for the representatives of the two organizations going into executive session; furthermore, what was told Messrs Byrd and Moore was stated to me by a representative by the name of Mr Hill, who called at The Ace office a few weeks ago and who had a talk with me relative to the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association affiliating with the White Rats. As Mr Mountford seems to form so many conclusions from the article appearing in THE AGE last week—conclusions which show him to be so often in error—I suggest that he read the article again and give it some little thought. Messrs Byrd and Moore did not claim that the White Rats had made a veiled threat. I formed such an opinion without their assistance. which reads No protection of any artist at the present moment will be of any avail which is not affiliated with the Federation of Labor, and no protective order of artist can affiliate with the American Federation of Labor except through us. No comment is necessary, and the position of the White Rats on that subject is made perfectly clear. I desire to call Mr. Mountford's attention to his charge that my article of his week was an attack on anismism, set in his basty perusal of the article in question he evidently found to read the following. I do not wish to be understood as being opposed to labor unions; neither am I against white and colored theatrical performers co-operating for the benefit of all concerned. I believe in organization, but in view of the unfriendly attitude of the White Rats toward the black audience, I am in a difficult for me to believe that there is not somewhere in the woodpile hidden something dark and mysterious. In answer to my question. If the colored performers join the union will the ban be lifted by the White Rats relative to colored acts headlining the bills on big time, Mr Mountford says that there never was any such ban. And yet it has been nearly three years since a colored act headlined a bill in New York at any of the large vaudeville houses. The case of Bert Williams, who appeared in vaudeville for about two months last spring in Greater New York, and yet was not headliner one week during his highly successful appearance, is cited for consideration as well as explanation. Mr Williams was at the Victoria Theatre for about a month. He was the hit of each bill as well as the principal box office attraction nevertheless the management was afraid to advertise him as topping the bill. When the query was made why Mr Williams was not given the prominence due him, the answer was given from authoritative sources that opposition on part of the White Rats, who do not favor colored acts headlining bills, was responsible for the state of affairs It is true that Mr Mountford and his organization are striving valiantly for recognition working hard to muster from the ranks of the variety artists—white and colored—a force strong enough to command recognition and bring about a condition enabling them to realize their aims. However, as to the differences existing between the White Rats and the managers, that is a matter in which I will not take the liberty of assuming the role of a mediator. In this instance I am only engaged in looking after the interests of the colored performer, which I am trying to do to the best of my ability. I am not making a fight against the White Rats or against unison, but doing my utmost to get the colored vaudevillian to first consider seriously the step he is about to take, whether in the affirmative or in the negative. There is no need of him being in a hurry, and I advise him to take his time Chicago, March 18, 1911 --- --- THE NEW YORK AGE THURSDAY, MAKLU 25, 1711. A WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

HOLDS MEETING Tuesday evening the regular meeting of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association was held at the organization's headquarters, 320 West sid street and the assembly room was crowded with members. Interest centered in the invitation extended by the White Rats to affiliate with that body as a branch of the American Federation of Labor. The matter was thoroughly discussed for several hours. A committee was appointed to make further investigation into the matter and instructed to report its findings to the club at its earliest convenience. GET8 10 CENT8 DAMAGES A jury in the Seventh District Municipal Court Wednesday morning awarded Benjamin Smith, colored, judgment for to cents damages against the Crescent Theatre, Smith alleging that he was forcibly ejected from the theatre by one of the attaches of the house. Attorney Henry Fluegelman, representing the theatre, asked that the case be sent to the jury, not wishing to have the Crescent further associated with legal entanglements regarding the incident. In charging the jury Magistrate Weil ruled that as a theatre was a private corporation and not conducted on similar lines as railroads, etc., as long as no discrimination was made on account of color, a manager had the right to deny admission to those whom he deemed objectionable.

The Uncle Tom's Cabin Company is doing a big business throughout Connecticut. While in Waterbury, Conn., the members of the company were entertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Rutter, and a very pleasant evening was spent. King and Bailey are at the Palace Theatre, Leicester, England. The act is a big hit over the Moss and Stohl Circuit and is now topping the bills. The young comedians were recently made members of the Masonic fraternity at Glasgow Scotland --- Frank Clermont, of Cermont and Miner, became afflicted with paralysis at Rutland, Vt. a few days ago while waiting for a train to go to Burlington, Vt. to appear at the Strong Theatre. He was advised to take a lay off and is now at his New York residence, to West 90th street, under the doctor's care. The following is a clipping from the Gallipolis (O) Daily Tribune about the Southern Smart Set Company, headed by S. Tutt Whitney. People who did not go to The Smart Set at the Opera House Saturday night missed one of the most funnel and entertaining performances given in Gallipolis for years. The comedy parts were extremely clever the jokes fresh and funny, the wit keen, and the songs new and catchy. Not a suggestive or improper thing marred the entire evening and the audience was caught in the light and applause nearly all the time. If this show is a fair sample of work done on the stage by colored people, Manager Kaufman will do well to bring on more --- If there are any more acts around Chicago and the Northwest on the order of Wilson and Cumby, the East is not opposed to them invading this section of the country. Wilson and Cumby appeared at the Crescent Theatre last week and agreeably surprised the management and patrons by presenting an act full of merit, originality, character, and one containing a large number of The accompanying photographs are those of Messrs. Bob Russell, Billy Owens and Marion Brooks, who have been in the South a little more than a year, coming from New York and Chicago, respectively. Through the efforts of these men as producers, playwrights and comedians, there has been improvement noticed in and around the theatres and among the performers. THE BALL BOB RUSSELL AND BILLY OWENS Through these men and others of their caliber is the colored theatre managers' hope. This combination organized a stock company of picked talent last spring and has kept it together well. This company has been in my house for fourteen weeks and from now on as long as I have a theatre I will try very hard to keep this same class of a performer. Mr. Owens is a comedian who never resorts to the slightest touch of suggestive comedy, and yet he is a big hit. The same can be said of Mr. Russell. As producers, Messrs. Brooks and Russell stand high in my estimation. They never think of producing immoral plays. THE BROOKLYN PRESS This winning combination leaves my house to open the Ocmulgee Park in Macon, Ga., for themselves about April 17. They will have with them all clever people, among whom will be "Speedy" Smith, a youngster who, judging from his appearance, would lead one to believe that he had just broken away from a bunch of pecks." He has the voice of a veteran singer and is likewise a comedian of much merit Big Basketball Contest Saturday It the advance sale of seats counts for match, the basketball match which will be played Saturday evening, March 25, at the 60th Regiment Armory, between the crack All Star quint of New York City and the team representing the 10th Cavalry Band will be largely attended. Owing to the postponement of the game between the two quints from time to time the prospect of the soldiers and the New Yorkers meeting in a battle royal has aroused unusual interest. The followers of the All Stars believe the home team can defeat the boys in blue, basing their belief on the fact that the All Stars have not lost a game in New York to a colored quint this season. The young ladies representing the Spartan Athletic Club, and the Excelsior Athletic Club, will meet in a preliminary contest for female championship honors. During the evening the 10th Cavalry Band will render a musical program especially arranged for the occasion. The concert will commence at 7 15 sharp Baseball at Lincoln University One month has passed since Captain Goss issued a call for candidates for the baseball team.

Mr. Collins, being delayed in his visit to Washington, suggested that he write and ask Col John S. Mosby, the famous leader of the Confederate cavalry, who has recently visited New Haven, to do what he had been hired up to do. He wrote Col Mosby, who very willingly agreed to do what was possible, and through his help and especially that of his daughter, Mrs. Stuart Mosby-Coleman, who personally visited the pension office and made matters to the attention of the officials the restoration was brought about. Notwithstanding Mr Porter is quite an aged man, his elastic step and quick body movements give him the aspect of a much younger man. Mr. Porter is a model citizen and highly respected by both races.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACM. Atlanta, Ga., March 14.-Taft and Roosevelt have come and gone.

The problem is obviously improved in these things as well as in decency and character building, but cooper prejudice has seemingly procured stronger hoops and driven them tighter with the sole purpose of confining the race in the narrowest Taft and Roosevelt also addressed about eight thousand white citizens at the auditorium where the Southern Commercial Congress was in session. While the latter elaborated or amplified his subject it was in reality a reiteration of what he had but three or four hours before spoken to his enthusiastic colored audience.

He gave a resume of what the late Congress had accomplished, stating that that was vastly more than any previous Congress had done. It remained for Gov Woodrow Wilson in the very presence of the President to get the ovation that if possible would have lifted the roof from the building and shamed a cyclone into existence. The officer was the lion and everything else embodying strength of the occasion. Diokinson for Law Enforcement MIDDLETOWN NEWS Middletown, N. Y., March 22 — Mrs Martha Scott Anderson, wife of Wm H.
