Washington and Deplore Brutal Attack PRAISE FOR PRESIDENT TAFT Landing Men of the City Make Speeches Which Are Sane and Conservative—Bishop Walkers Sends Letter. Bethel \ M E Church, in West Twenty-ninth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, was filled with members of the race last Sunday afternoon who were present to pledge their faith in the leadership of Dr. Booker T. Washington and to express publicly their unbounded confidence in his integrity as a leader. The meeting was characterized by the sane and temperate remarks of the speakers. Almost every speaker expressed the opinion that the brutal attack made on Booker T. Washington had done more to bring the race together than any other incident in many years, that Negroes of the North, East, South and West are perspective of religious belief, educational affiliations and opinions educational matters, etc., had shown their great loyalty for the race by forgetting all difference and presenting a solid philanax in extending their sympathy to the nation's leading Negro, and one of its most prominent citizens. President Taft came in for a great deal of praise, and the popularity of the Chief Executive has grown to larger proportions since he wrote Dr. Washington the letter last week paying him such a high tribute. Resolutions Adopted by Standing Vote. Resolutions deploying the assault on the race leader and promising to him were adopted by a standing vote. The resolutions Whereas, Dr. Booker T. Washington, the beloved leader, and inspired teacher of our race, an American philanthropist and educator, whose sympathies and services are recognized world-wide, has met with a painful and unfortunate incidee. First, that the colored citizens of New York are deeply grateful for the public sentiment of the community as expressed by the press and leading citizens in condemnation and regret that so good and useful a citizen of have been made the victim of an attack upon his persecution and reputation. Second. We appreciate the thousands of messages of sympathy and confidence which have come to Dr. Washington from all parts of our country, from white and colored people alike, not far the South.

Personal Worth of Educator Often Referred To. Sunday's big meeting was opened by Rev Keverdy C. Ransom, pastor of Bother A. M. F. Church, who told his hearers that he thought it fit that those who wanted for the highest and best in the life of the colored people of New York City should express confidence in the personal worth and honor of Brooker I. Washington. The speaker believed that the life of the Tuskegee was as great an epic to the free as was Uncle Tom's Cabin to the Slaves. Concerned Charles W Anderson was next invited as chairman, who, in college, had a student Taft, said, in addition to his pen aside no other person ever written had had each such person in framing the squaw deal in the race, that the President believed that when Dr. Washington was stalking every Negro in the war, he said, and let her work in the support of every colored man in the community. Rev Keverdy Powell, pastor of Abysse Church, aroused the audible in a high pitch of enthusiasm in concluding remarks by saying I was never so good an American as I am to-day. This is the best country under the canopy of heaven for the Negro and for every other man. We were here three months before the Puritans, and in the fall of this century, away I fell them this: Let the Slavs go back to the Danube, the Russians to the Volg, the Italians to the Tiber, the English to the Thames, and the Irish to the Thames; and the Irish to the Thames, and go back to the Congo to found a great state under our intrepid leader, Dr. Washington. Bishop W. Derrick was profuse in enconium relative to the worth and character of Dr. Washington, and was listened to with marked attention. Bishop Derrick stated that the many expressions of good will on behalf of Dr. Washington should be a striking example to the young men of the race and should convince them that criticising and finding fault does not pay, but that deeds count in this life. Bishop Derrick referred to the great strides the Negro was making in New York City, recalling years ago when he participated in many fights for the black man's rights. Bishop Walters' Letter. The following letter was read from Bishop Alexander Walters, regretting his inability to be present Counsellor James L. Curtis, New York City My Dear Friend I very much regret that an appointment at Providence, R. L, will prevent my acceptance of your kind invitation to be present and speak at the mass on Saturday afternoon in protest of the unwarranted and brutal assault made upon Dr Booker T. Washington by Henry Ulrich. Because of race prejudice and the spirit of racism on last Sunday, I will be behind the point where a black face is provocative of a riot where the slightest trouble between the races is concerned. Nothing would have given me more assurance than to have joined Blake Derrick and others in protesting against this condition I unite with the race in extending thanks to President Taff, Hon. Seth Low, Dr. William Schiefflein and friends who came no molly to the friends who came no molly to the Dr. Washington, with them I believe him to be a man of the highest moral integrity Wishing for your meeting to be young and for advancement of our race.

Iee Others on the program were Rev R M Bolden, Counsellor Wilford H Smith and Fred R Moore GETB BIG RECEPTION. Washington Speaks in Philadelphia Before Society for Ethical Culture—Men and Women Crowd About and Express Unshaken Confidence in Him. Philadelphia Pa. March 28—Dr Booker T. Washington spoke Sunday before the Society for Ethical Culture in the Broad Street Theatre, and was given a hearty ovation. The theatre was crowded and the members of the society disregarded their custom of refraining from applause and several times paid spontaneous tributes of respect and appreciation for the speaker. S Burrows Weston, president of the society, in introducing Doctor Washington declared that he was more than welcome to the platform of the society especially in view of the important incident of last week in New York, following which certain tigly suspicions been spread and which called for a letter from President Taft expressing his unshaken confidence in Doctor Washington. Following the address, men and women crowded about Doctor Washington and shook him by the hand, in their unity to indicate that they had been circulated. Doctor Washington made public a letter from former Vice-President Fairbanks assuring him of his continued support and a letter also from prominent white citizens of Tuskegee, Ala. to the same effect NEWBURGH CITIZENS ACT.

NEW YORK. THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1911. HUNDREDS LEAVE STATES TO SETTLE IN CANADA Give Up Citizenship in Oklahoma Because of Many Lnjust Laws CANADIAN OFFICIALS PUZZLED Considering Advisability of Admitting Negro Applicants—United States Authorities Take Action. Special to THE NEW YORK ART. Emerson, Man, March 27.—United States Consul General Jones in Winnipeg has been instructed by the State Department in Washington to insist to the Dominion immigration officials that the Negroes en route from Oklahoma be admitted if they have the proper qualifications. The first colony from Oklahoma arrived here last week. It is 100 strong and is being held pending a thorough investigation of the material means and physical fitness of its members. James Cornwell, M. E., from Alberta, who is here, says the colony that settled near it has been receiving financial aid from the Immigration Bureau because most of its members are unable even to handle a homesteading proposition. Driven from Oklahoma, where they claim they had been robbed of property and the right to vote, a band of Negroes are in St. Paul, facing the problem of being barred from Western Canada, where they had hoped to start anew Those in St. Paul are the advance guard of at least 5,000 people of mixed Creek, Indian and Negro blood. There are ninety-four adults and twenty-four children in the party in St Paul. They were accompanied by Louis F McFarland, district passenger agent of the Chicago Great Western, and G.W. Norman, district passenger agent of the Grand Trunk-Pacific, of Kansas City. They are scheduled to leave for Winnipeg over the Great Northern at 5:15 p.m. One Immigrant With $40,000. The Negroes come from Wakeale, Okla, with the exception of two men, who resided at Ojibwege, which was the headquarters of the Greek nation years ago. Nearly all are said to have owned and operated farms. The leader by the name of Smeed, he is to be worth $40,000, with about $10,000 of it in his possession. There is one man in the party, 70 years old, who was a slave. All are well dressed. They claim to have the $0 necessary to land in Canada and bone to pass the physical examination. They say that many of their friends took homeesteads in Western Canada last year and a representative interviewed a Canadian official to ascertain if there would be trouble in crossing the border. They expect to settle near Athabasca Landing. While optimistic, the Negroes have been thrown into something of a panic by the receipt of word that the dian immigration authorities may reject Oklahoma Negroes who went to Western Canada last year were treated as other immigrants. They were given a passenger rate of a cent a mile from the boundary to their destination. This year, however, the Canadian authorities, it is said, decided that no such inducements would be offered. The Oklahoma immigrants are paying full fare all the time. the 'grandfather' law, which went into effect in Oklahoma August 2, 1900, is held by the party to be responsible for all their trouble. This law disenfranchises a Negro whose grandfather was a slave. It affects about 75 per cent of the people of Negro blood in homa. The Negroes say the law takes all their rights from them and makes them the prey of everybody in the state. Heavy taxation and the prohibit rates of interest have made it impossible for them to meet their loans and their farms have been grabbed by the lenders. They have no tale of wrongs. The Negroes say they got their lands from the government, under a treaty made shortly after the war. Negroes were held as slaves by the Criollo dians, and they and other Negroes who married squawns, each were granted 160 "They are trying to get rid of people of Negro blood in Oklahoma, by these laws and wrongs," said one of the party, "but they are not doing it, driving us away and Negroes from Oklahoma and Teenagers are coming in and our place." "Why don't you take up land in Montana or some other state in the United States, instead of going into Canada?" was asked. "A lot of white people from Oklahoma are going into Montana, and we can't go there," was the reply. WASHINGTON IN MADISON. Speaks to Large Audience at First Baptist Church—Lauded as Worthy Leader. Special to THIS NEW TOKA AU Madison, N. J. March 28 – Dr. Booker T. Washington, the distinguished Negro leader educator, made his first appearance before the colored people of Madison, N. J. at the First Baptist church of Madison, Rev J. P. E. Love is the pastor, on Wednesday evening, March 22. Much credit is due Rev Love for his ability to secure Dr Washington on this occasion. Although rather late in reaching the church, having delivered a former ad- dress at the Drew Seminary, he was heartily received by a large and enthusiastic audience. He was immediately introduced by the president of the board of education, F. B. Barton, in a few well-chosen words. H The doctor proved himself an interesting as well as a witty speaker and his lecture was earnestly received and thoroughly enjoyed by his eager hearers. His talk was encouraging and straightforward. After comparing our condition with the lower classes of other countries, he showed how much greater our opportunities were over theirs. He particularly urged us not to depend for so much help from the opposite race, but to work ourselves up by our own efforts, as our whole future success as a race, rested upon ourselves. At the conclusion of his speech a resolution was read by Roy M. H. Davis, of the A. M. E. Church in behalf of the colored people, thanking Dr. Washington for his talk and lending him as the worthy leader of the race. The ladies of the church had prepared a reception in his honor, but owing to his train leaving at an early hour, he was compelled to go directly at the end of his address for entertainment to which the people of Madison are looking forward to that of the Jubilee Glee Club of Lincoln University, on Friday evening, March 31, 1911, at the First Baptist Church.

(Continued on Page 5) MORE FACTS ABOUT ODD FELLOWS' LOOT Morris' Activity Has Proven Very Expensive to the Order THOUSANDS THROWN AWAY Tennantless Building in Philadelphia Has Cost Odd Fellows $12,000—Expense Account of Grand Officers. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Washington, D. C., March 28—E. H. Morris, of Chicago, then Grand Master, proposed a law which was enacted by the B. M. C. at New Haven, Conn., in 1902, which provided for the purchase of a site and the erection of headquarters which would house all the departments of the order. He was then serving his second successive term and therefore ineligible for re-election. He desired that Jacob E. Reed, of Ohio, then Grand Treasurer, should succeed him as Grand Master for the reason as he put it that he would like to have the honor of erecting the new building and Reed would be satisfied with one term and step aside and permit him (Morris) to be elected Grand Master again in 1904" so that he could realize his ambition. The leaders of the order at that time felt very kindly toward Grand Master Morris, but were of opinion that he should not again be elected Grand Master. The delegates disregarded his wishes and ejected J. McHenry Jones, of West Virginia, instead of J. E. Reed for Grand Master. In discussing the matter, however, it developed that all of us favored connecting the retiring Grand Master with the erection of the new building in some way. Rev. E. P. Jones, of Mississippi, offered a resolution which provided that he should be associated with the ex-Committee of Management as its legal advisor until the completion of the work. This proved to be the greatest mistake ever made in the history of the order, as it enabled the ex-Grand Master to meet semi-annually the successive Sub-Committees of Management and build a solid foundation. Mr. Morris was the controlling influence in selecting the site approving the plans and making contracts for the new building Big Loser on Odd Fellows' Building. Through him, Watson and Hazelton, architects of Chicago, were engaged to draw the plans and specifications for the building. They were taken before the B M. C, which met at Columbus, O, in 1904, and approved. After this approval by the representatives of the order, the plans were changed on his advice without consulting the members of the order or their delegates. Secrety was enpioned upon the members of the S C M. Five years ago, it was pointed out, that if this course was persisted in the order was liable to lose about two thousand dollars a year by reason of having a tenantless building. The warning was not heeded and as a result the Odd Fellows have a building which, including the site, has cost, according to the published igures, $12,000. Including taxes, water rent, insurance, janitor and elevator service, heat, light and three per cent, interest on money invested, the cost of maintaining this building is about seven thousand dollars a year. All the order gets for this are the rooms for the Grand Secretary's office and a council chamber for the meetings of the S. C. M. After a trial of nearly three years there are no other tenants. The empty floors of this very costly building proclaim with trumpet tongue mismanagement and inefficiency. It was intended from the beginning that much of the vacant space should be occupied by the Old Fellows' Journal and a regalia department, but the plans were changed so as to make it impossible to install the printing plant there. Why the regalia department, which was ordered by the delegates at the Richmond B. M. C more than four years ago has not been established, can only be conjectured. The members of our order purchase many thousands of dollars' worth of regalia every year. That a large print facility would lessen. Proper conduct of the would yield large returns more than wipe out any defect occasioned by loss of tenants for the new building as well as give employment to many deserving widows and orphans Several of the members of the S. C. M., notably B J Davis, now "Chief Justice of the Supreme Court," have been and are still engaged in the regalia business on their own account, or acting as agents for large concerns that employ white widows and orphans to do the work which should be given to those of our own race whom we have obligated ourselves to protect When bids were first solicited for the erection of this building, according to the plans and specifications of Watson & Hazelton of Chicago, they were all too high and none was accepted. After some alterations in the plans, one of the firm of architects that drew the plans took the contract and sublet the work to Philadelphia contractors. There was no other architect employed to see that this Chicago architect and owner lived up to the specification which had prepared for others to bid upon. It is useless to say that no prudent man would conduct his own business in that way. The order cannot go on indefinitely maintaining a building at the cost of $7,000 annually for the purpose of providing an office for the Grand Secretary and a meeting room for the S. C. M. Could Only Sell Property at Great Loss. Rumors are thick that it is being or will be offered for sale. The opinion of real estate men who have been in the business for many years is that it would not sell for $6,000 to-day, which is just one-half what it cost. There is invested in this building practically all of the money which the order has accumulated in its existence of sixty-eight years. It was quite natural that those who were fully acquainted with these facts were not in favor of continuing this mismanagement. There was also much dissatisfaction among the members of the order on account of overcharges on the part of Grand Officers for their expenses incurred in attendance upon the general meetings of the order. This evil had its beginning at Columbus, O., in 1904. W. L. Houston, who has just retired as Grand Master, was then a Grand Director and a member of the Finance committee, and made an exorbitant charge of $100 for his expenses from Washington to Columbus. That time to expense accounts of Grand Officers for attendance upon the general meetings of the order have been covered up in one lump sum, under the head of "expenses of the B. M. C." At Columbus in 1904, they were $1,210.20, at Richmond in 1906 they were $2,015; at Atlantic City, N. J., in 1908, they were $2,932.80, at Baltimore in 1910, they were $3,500, about three times as much as in Columbus, just six years before. Houston's Administration a Big Fail- The administration of Grand Master W. L. Houston, which has just closed, has been the most disappointing of any in the history of the order. At the first meeting of the S. C. M. over which he presided as Grand Master in January, 1997, two of the only three progressive pieces of legislation that had been adopted since 1896 were declared not to have been adopted. The B. M. C. which met in Richmond in October, 1906, at the request of Grand Master J. McHenry Jones, enacted two laws, one providing for a national endowment system that would be voluntary in its character and conducted along advanced lines and the other providing for a fraternal society committee which should unite with similar committees from other fraternal societies in safeguarding the rights of the members of our race. Although enacted by an unanimous vote, the S. C. M. declared these laws were not enacted and refused to publish them in the book of General Laws. AFAF, which is the order, the District Grand Lodge of Alabama that had been adjourned and had its minutes published for six months, was declared to be still in session and referred to re-assemble at an expense of thousands of dollars. Grand Master Houston visited Alabama and presided over the District Grand Lodge which was declared to have been in session for six months, although the delegates reassembled had returned to their lodges, made their reports and been quietly going about attending to their private affairs. This resulted in a split in the order of Alabama. Two years later Grand Master Houston signalized his re-election at Atlantic City by again visiting and presiding over one of the District Grand Lodges in Alabama. This time he found two distinct Grand Lodges when he arrived and left three when he came away. So bad did the conduct of affairs in that state come that in four years under Houston the number of degrees in good standing was reduced from about seven hundred when he was first elected to about one hundred and fifty. A commission was sent to Alabama at great expense to relieve the situation that existed as the result of Houston's two visits. It found the order disrupted and almost disbanded and more than one hundred thousand dollars due the widows and orphans of Fellows in that state. Two wives of the split cemeteries but none still flocks by itself. There have been but three splits in the order during its entire existence in this country and two of them took place during Houston's administration. DR. ERNEST LYON HONORED Former Minister to Liberia Appointed Consul General of That Country at Washington—Conversant With Liberian Affairs. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Baltimore, Md., March 29—Rev Dr. Ernest Lyon, who served with signal success as United States Minister and Consul General at Monrovia, Liberia, from the spring of 1903 until last June, has been tendered an appointment by Liberia as consul general of that country at Washington. The appointment is regarded as highly significant of the esteem which the people of that country have for Dr Lyon in that he is asked to represent a government to which he was formerly the accredited diplomatic representative. The commission, which was signed by President Arthur Barclay and Secretary of State F. E. R. Johnson, is already in Dr. Lyon's possession. In a letter notifying him of the appointment, Secretary Johnson writes "I have the honor to send you here with a commission appointing you consul general of the republic of Liberia, at Washington, U. S. A. In performing this pleasant duty, I avail myself of the opportunity to congratulate you on your appointment to this important post in which you can do much for the promotion and the advancement of the people of this country. The interest manifested by you, during your stay here, in the welfare of the republic convinces me that his excellency, the President, made no mistake in selecting you for the post.

Church Prominent Churchman'Officiant at Dedication and Celebrant at Special Order of Services FEAST OF ANNUNCIATION Entrance of Historic Parish Upon Its New Field of Labor an Ampicious One Notable Figure at Dedication. The morning of the Feast of the Annunciation, which fell on Saturday, March 25, was selected for the dedication of the new St. Phillip's P. E. Church, on West 134th street. A special order of service had been authorized for the occasion by the Bishop of the Diocese of New York, who also acted as the officiant at the dedication and celebrant. The epistolist was the Rev. George Frazier Miller, rector of St Augustine's Church, Brooklyn, and the gospeler, the Rev. William M. Grosvenor, rector of the Church of the Incarnation. The service was opened with the processional hymn, "Ancient of Days," which ushered in the imposing procession headed by the crossbearer, acolytes and choristers, followed by the vestry and some forty or more of the clergy. After the appropriate prayers and lessons had been read the procession was pronounced by the Bishop, setting apart the edifice to the glory of God and dedicating it to bear the name of Saint Philips Church. the Rev. Joshua Bowden Massiah, of Chicago. The communion service in G, which followed, was composed especially for the occasion by Paul C. Bolin, the choirmaster and organist The offerory anthem, by Horatio W Parker, was rendered by the vested male choir, the service closing with the recessional hymn, No 383, "Holy Holy, Holy!" The new church, which is the fifth to serve as a church home for the congregation, is a beautiful structure of English-Gothic design, its characteristics being its simplicity of style, solidity of construction and harmonious grouping of every detail essential to a house of worship. Progress of St. Philip's Parish. The progress of St Philip's Parish, from its first building erected in Centre street in 1819, is an index of the migrations of the race in the past century on Manhattan Island. The first church was destroyed by fire in 1821 and another erected on the same site. In 1856 the property was sold and soon after a Methodist church was purchased for the use of the congregation in Mulberry street. Here it remained through the draft roots until its removal to West 25th street, in Poughkeepsie, where it was as a Presbyterian church. The last service was held in this building last May. St Philip's dates its existence as a separate parish back to 1818, although its origin is traced to meetings held in 1890. In 1845 admission was sought to the Diocesan Convention, which was not granted until eight years later, the late Hon John Jay being a steadfast champion of its right to membership. Its rectors previous to the present incumbent have included the Revs Peter Williams, William J Alston and Joseph S Attwell, while Rev John Peterson was for many years its assistant minister. Luncheon for Visiting Clergy. After the services on Saturday lunchcon was served to the visiting clergy and other invited guests in the basement of the church, when addresses of congratulation and good will were made by Dr. Grosvenor, Prof. Tunnell of Howard University, Washington, D.C. Church Warden W. H. Smith and Collector Chas. W Anderson Among the other clergymen present were Dr. E. G. Clifton, of St David's Church, Bronx; Archdeacon Bragg, of Baltimore, Rev. J W Johnson, of Cipriani's Chapel; Rev N Peterson Blood, St Phillip's Church, Brooklyn, Father Carter, of Philadelphia, Rev B Brooklyn, Rev E N Hollings, Jamaica, Rev B W Paxton, Newark, M Plaskett Orange; Archdeacon McGuire, of Cambridge; Mass Among the laity were Measle Richard Warrick, Putter and William of Philadelphia, Jas M Miller, of Newark, Chas H Lanning, ex Gw Pinchark.

Hotel Bellman Crowd Union Baptist Church and Hear Great Sermon—Officers Report a Balance in Bank of $4,000—Dr. Roberta Makes Address. The Rev George Henry prescheduled a sermon to the hotel men and an auxiliary of their ladies last Sunday evening at Union Baptist Church that will long be remembered. He talked to the men in plain language on "preparation." The prepared French waiter and the skilled Italian bookblack," said Dr. Sims, "has usupped the place and much of money of the American Negro. "Intelligence, activity and progress are the spirit of this age, and we must know that if more value is placed upon Negro womanhood, it will merit for her the esteem of other races. If you are to succeed in life, prepare for success. If you are to live with Christ, prepare for it for the man whose heart is fixed with God in mind. You must matter what happens to you in life, keep the image of God before you." 1910 REV.G H. SIMS These and many other true remarks were made in the course of his address. Rev. Sims is one of the most practiced pulpit orators of the present age, and he is known for all, highly pleasing in the manner of his delivery, rough enough to provoke a laugh and smooth enough to call forheers in the middle of the most spiritful discourse. Dr. E. Roberts was invited to speak, and spoke to the members of his organization with much enthusiasm, addressing himself as , a bellman. "Character," said Dr. Roberts, "is what man must profess, and closed his remarks by giving his struggle for an education at Lincoln University had made him more fearless and even indifferent to the obstacles that are sure to rise before the most advanced George Ledbetter sang with unusual sweetness.

Washington said in an address to the white students of a Staten Island school that, until he was struck down by a brutal westsider, and accused of insulting a common vagabond of a bone and a hank of hair, he did not know that he had so many friends in all parts of the civilized world. We can imagine Mr. Washington doubting his hold upon the people, but we know that nobody else doubts that hold. No man has ever had more admirers, nor a larger number of devoted personal friends, who wish no higher honor than to be counted a friend, supporter and heutenant of the great leader John Mitchell, Jr., of Virginia, runs upon bright things occasionally. He said in his Planet several weeks ago that Mr. Washington never had occasion to defend himself because his friends, without solicitation or reward, did that for him. In a time like that of last week Mr. Washington found that his life and character were his best defense. The wizard was visibly affected by the feeling protestation of his friends. The letters and messages from each he read personally. But it was the beautiful tribute paid him by the President of the United States, whose letter rang with indignation, that gave the nation the renewed idea, not only of Mr. Washington's place as one of the really great men of his country and his period, but very particularly of his importance to his race and land, in the solution of what the President calls "one of the most difficult problems before us." The President gave the leader no certificate of character, but he bestowed upon him the confidence of a noble friend, and shared the shame the nation suffers in the condition that permitted the outrage. Mr. Taft's letter, addressed to Mr. Washington, was written also to Mr. Washington's race, whose larger life is inextricably bound up in his marvelous career. Mr. Taft's act was a noble one and it did more to draw colored people to him than any word or deed he has said or done. That delegation of the responsible leaders of the race in the District of Columbia, who called upon Mr. Taft to thank him for his letter did a timely and generous thing and their conduct must have pleased Mr. Washington as much as it gratifies all of us who press forward under his matchless generalship. HIS GREATEST STATUE. The Massachusetts legislature is excited over the question of erecting a statute to commemorate the memory of Gen. Benjamin F Butler, lawyer, statesman, soldier and patriot. Several years ago, when this same question came up in the legislature, Assistant Attorney-General Lewis, then a member for Cambridge, voted and spoke against erecting the statue. That is the only mistake, as we see it, in an otherwise correct career of one of the ablest men of his race. The chief objection raised against the proposed honor to Gen. Butler is that he was too much of a politician, given to plitting his personal charm against the good of the state. The real objection is that Gen Butler had no blessing from Beacon street The statue may never be erected, but it ought to be. Be that as it may, as long as the memory of the Rebellion lives, Gen Butler's fame shall live. As long as history tells of good fighting on the battlefield, his fame shall live. As long as Lincoln's conduct of the great war survives, Gen Butler's fame shall live. As long as the story of the colored troops Jingers, his fame shall live, for it was Butler who made way for them, and who was first to call the nation's attention to their fighting qualities, their loyalty and to their need for the nation's life. Gen. Butler's greatest statue is his record in freedom's cause, and in the progress of colored Americans, whose champion he was in war and whose friend he was in peace Jenkins Lloyd Jones, one of the most useful citizens of the country, has been spending some days in Georgia, doing much to liberate the slaves down there. He talked about Emerald Tolstoy and other dreamers. He has always gave good for this road THE NEGRO IN AFRICA. Every now and then we heathing from the sweet plains of Geor arise in one grand dammation against for Africa. Occasionally a evening shadows admonishes the hasten to the free air of the strife who seek much money by loud tongue-confessing saints, fervent picture of the American Negro back to the shores upon which he drive out the European oppressor how to build up in Ethiopia's sea. We do not accuse Elder Hemphil terson, but many Southern editors "white with the blood of years," comes strained, find it convenient time, somehow. God only knows secrets—the Negro will return the white man to live in peace and die. All that is very good. The Would that we might be instruct usurpation of Europe no less than where in civilization's name. Ward observed. Let us waste no aside for a moment sentiment, and the American Negroes should a nightmare and decide to go to Africa fortune; suppose even Booker T. stuff that builds empires and leads consent to head the expedition; sous friend should supply the ship great migration, what would we when we came to consider condition. We would find the continent countries; each country having a guage of its own. We would find duly sealed, yielding the right of to some European country. We the complications of which is the more; we would find countless Negro, himself just in the morning be an unimportant atom, unless him nothing save extermination, hand, and among the foremost of behold the natives without many the American Negro demands and freest land the sun shines upon offer to join hands with the African home for the Africans. That we end of which time would never induce no one to its undertaking. A few days ago the Sun told railroad in French Africa. For the told us of the wonderful material followed the procession of Europe have been put into the opening of simply touched. Who owns these we go about laying hold on the France and even Portugal, not the blood and money in the acquirement of them. Huth women from these countries have ment, settled in these concessions the mines, built cities, and made go over and drive these people a name of—what? We shall be plan and procedure of those that American Negro. There is much now the America there will be more to do in the country have advanced further in continents seem to have been re Africa, the oldest of all lands—America, youngest of all lands, that was planted in Africa many, may welcome every development of Africa appear. If the Africans themselves native strength and resources to the American Negro is at the present by appeals in the parliament of me Every now and then we hear Biahop Turner's deep voice calling from the sweet plains of Georgia to the American Negroes to arise in one grand damnation against the Supreme Court and light out for Africa. Occasionally a newspaper edited by a son of the evening shadows admonishes the race in hot type to pack up and hasten to the free air of the stricken fatherland. The missionaries, who seek much money by loud calling to the knee-bowed and tongue-confessing saints, fervently and oratorically paint the pleasing picture of the American Negro trooping in one triumphant army back to the shores upon which history was first traced, there to drive out the European oppressor and usurper and teach the natives how to build up in Ethiopia's name a great nation and country. We do not accuse Elder Hemphill, the candle bearer to Henry Watterson, but many Southern editors who have a notion that they are "white with the blood of years," when their boundless wisdom becomes strained, find it convenient and graceful to suggest that some time, somehow, God only knows—and He is still careful of His secrets—the Negro will return to Africa, and allow the American white man to live in peace and die with a substantial hope of glory. All that is very good. The Age is deeply interested in Africa. Would that we might be instrumental in checking both the brazen usurpation of Europe no less than the brutality practiced everywhere in civilization's name. But "facts be facts," as Artemus Ward observed. Let us waste no time in idle debate. Let us put aside for a moment sentiment, and let us then see what is. Suppose the American Negroes should awake to-morrow morning from a nightmare and decide to go to Africa, suppose they should pool their fortune; suppose even Booker T. Washington, who has in him the stuff that builds empires and leads to victory hopeless causes, should consent to head the expedition; suppose the government and generous friend should supply the ships and sustenance necessary to the great migration, what would we find when we got to Africa, or when we came to consider conditions as they are? We would find the continent divided into a hundred nations and countries; each country having a hundred tribes, and each tribe a language of its own. We would find compact after compact signed and duly sealed, yielding the right of way and the powers of government to some European country. We would find a religious problem the complications of which is the burden of Christianity forevermore; we would find countless millions among whom the American Negro, himself just in the morning of his newer civilization, would be an unimportant atom, unless he began a war which could offer him nothing save extermination. Slavery we would find on every hand, and among the foremost of civilized communities we would behold the natives without many of the rights and privileges that the American Negro demands and exercises as a free people in the freest land the sun shines upon. We might settle in groups and offer to join hands with the Africans and fight to make Africa a home for the Africans. That would involve a continental war the end of which time would never see, and the promise of which would induce no one to its undertaking. That is one side of it. A few days ago the Sun told a story of the building of a new railroad in French Africa. For twenty years the newspapers have told us of the wonderful material development of Africa that has followed the procession of European influences. Millions of dollars have been put into the opening up of the inland, which is yet but simply touched. Who owns these improvements? And how would we go about laying hold on them? England, Germany, Spain, France and even Portugal, not to name Belgium, have each spent blood and money in the acquirement of territory in Africa, and in the development of them. Hundreds of thousands of men and women from these countries have followed the flag of their government, settled in these concessionary territories, tilled the soil, opened the mines, built cities, and made roads. What are we going to do, go over and drive these people and their flags out of Africa in the name of—what? We shall be pleased to be enlightened as to the plan and procedure of those that see in Africa the home of the American Negro. There is much now the American Negro may do for the natives; there will be more to do in the coming years, when the Negro shall himself have advanced further in the ways of independence. Two continents seem to have been reserved for the home of all races: Africa, the oldest of all lands—cradle of civilization; the other America, youngest of all lands, the fruit of the tree of liberty that was planted in Africa many, many years ago. For our part, we welcome every development of Africa by every force that may there appear. If the Africans themselves are powerless with all their native strength and resources to look to their rights and laurels, the American Negro is at the present less powerful to aid them, except by appeals in the parliament of men without slaking the tree of liberty in a letter written to his paper, Unity, Mr. Jones says American Magazine M. Wishingto writes of the fine work done by Charles Banks, the famous Messapp Notwithstanding the activities and enthusiasm of the Daughters of the Confederacy, "who are too active, as it seems to me, in keeping alive the traditions of the Lost Cause," and the fact that the school children are taught to believe that Jefferson Davis was a greater man than Abraham Lincoln still "the old order changeth giving place to new." Poor school children. Poor, ignorant people of the south. There is a note of pathos in the report that it is taught to the children that Davis, the traitor, is greater than Lincoln, the patriot. In the years before them the children will find that their teachers were untrue A NOTABLE SALE. Two young, capable, aggressive men of New York, John E Nail and Henry C Parker, made an unusually big transaction last week. The story is told in our news columns, and it is interesting reading. More than a million dollars were involved in the trade. Charles W Anderson, keen observer and ready answerer, gave the word of their uniform success, and their service to the people, when he said "Youth, nothing but youth." The elder Nail doesn't lay much store by prayer without works, so that philosopher said, "Labor, nothing else." Howbeit, these men have made their own calling and election sure, and put colored people under additional obligations to them by opening for rent houses heretofore closed against their race. The point we add is neither youth nor labor nor the common million, but this. That there is in New York a colored corporation wealthy enough to stand behind Nail and Mr Parker, and order and counterorder them, and accept or reject terms involving much property and much money. St. Phillips Church is the one institution in New York that does most of its big talk without mouth-working. Booker T. Washington takes striking pride in celebrating the achievements of the doers.

Aside from the reports contained in the Times, which for once refused to go out half cooked, and the Tribune, the news" in the New York press with respect to the outrage perpetrated upon Mr Washington last week was a shameful exhibition of the evil practices of the daily papers when they are called upon to report occurrences in which colored people are directly or indirectly concerned. The animus of the Sun, the prejudice of the World, the wickedness of the Journal, and the general unfairness of all other daily papers, were as apparrent as painful. Instead of an effort to give the news with due respect to the high reputation of a man whose life was notably free of misconduct, there was a striking effort to create news and surround a situation clear to all with doubts and darkness, exciting the people to conjectures and misapprehension, when there was not only no need of this but every reason for avoiding it. There is no good in getting hot and advising the colored people to blow up two or three of the newspapers. That would accomplish nothing. There is no need of boycotting the papers, for if the colored people boycotted several of the boasting daines they would go out of business. There is need, however, of a daily paper controlled by colored men "What is news?" asks Will Irwin in Collers Whatever the New York papers do not print, we suppose. The Sun gives a partial report of an action for the dissolution of a marriage of a young white couple. They were married by a colored minister, and this was the basis of annulment. "I made a tremendous ass of myself," said the young man, "by being married by a Negro clergyman." Maybe. But the colored clergyman gave signs of braying proclivities by stooping to tie the knot for a pair of half-baked THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1911 President Taft's Letter to Dr. Booker T.

My dear Doctor Washington, I am greatly distressed at your kindness and kindness to you of my sympathy, may hope that you will be saved from this terrible affliction by reason of mercy, and of my confidence in you, in your welfare and the quality of character and in your highest respects to your love and to the people of your country. It would be a daunting THE JAMAICA NEGRO. It is noteworthy that the colored people who come to the United States from Jamaica, almost without exception, are very intelligent, so far as the book goes. It is well known that in the Island of Jamaica the Negroes are provided with first-class schools, that they suffer under little or no racial discrimination. Since they have good school facilities, equal civil and political rights with the white man, why is it that they leave a country where they enjoy the same opportunity to get an education that the white man enjoys, and the same opportunity to use all the conveniences of travel, hotel accommodations, etc. without discrimination? Under these circumstances, we ask why do the Negroes every year come to the United States in so large numbers from Jamaica, and why is it that those who come to America fail to return except in rare cases? The answer, in our opinion, is easy. Along with education, civil and political rights there must go economic and industrial development such as the Negro in Jamaica is not surrounded by. The Negro in the United States labor under disadvantages, but the advantage that he enjoys in the way of economic opportunity and in the way of industrial and technical education overbalances his disadvantages to such a degree that the Negroes leave a country where they enjoy all the other privileges that some of our people talk a good deal about in this country and come to a country where the Negro has the highest opportunity to economic development and up-to-date education, including industrial and technical training. The West Indian Negro, who talks very loudly and is easily excited, has found his heaven on earth under the American flag. "All Washington Rolls on Skates. This Dull Season," headlines the World. And seasons that are not dull, and seasons neither dull nor bright. A Methodist missionary in Japan writes a friend, who gives a portion of the letter to the Times, that the Japanese are next to heartbroken because the United States has turned their hearts too low. But unless they can turn white and increase in stature the Japanese might well steal their hearts for other purposes with respect to these United States. No good citizen can but regret the unwarranted attack made upon Mayor Gaynor by one of our city magistrates, who is a much better hand at scolding that he is in a calm conception of the law, with especial reference to his rights in its administration. New York is still the best governed city in the world and the pleasantest spot in which to live in this country. What is more, it has the greatest Mayor that any municipality may claim. The fact is it has a President-size man filling a Mayor's chair. The only criticism good men offer against the Mayor is that he has not sought to abolish the Magistrates' courts. Why is a Magistrate's court? The good people of Boston are subscribing liberally to the fund to be used in purchasing a picture of the Ward Howe for the walls of the council chamber in the old state house. Francis Garrison and Gov Foss are among the contributors. We imagine that the commission for the painting will be given to one of the foremost of American painters. Henry O. Tanner could most likely give us the best work with Mrs. Howe for the subject. In running over the list of those that are giving the money to pay for the picture, we were struck by the absence of the name of a single colored man or woman of Boston. Not even the proud eagle problem-bearer, whoisses much and yells loudly about overly loud and everything, and who is supposedly his unlashed bank.

New York, March 26 THE WASHINGTON INCIDENT Calls Forth the Unanimous Protest of Negro Press, Which Crownes Great Leader With Confidence and Devotion. Still Leader of the Leaders The efforts of Dr. Washington's energies have embraced everything that could be imagined from being a self-appointed betrayer of the American Negro to the worse type of political demagogue, but hitherto there has been a united regard for the moral purity of the man and uniform testimony to his unselfish participation in the war. The character and reputation which have stood the test of a quarter of a century cannot now be debased by slander palpable and evident as to cause a smile. We reaffirm our confidence in the peerless character of our leader of leaders - Durham (N.C.) Reformer Push the Case. The prompt and hearty manner in which his friends, both white and colored, came to his aid, showed conatively that they had and still have the utmost confidence in his integrity.

Those Who Know Him Those who know Mr. Washington, those who know of him, his friends and admirers, refuse to entertain any other view than the one given out by him. His friends have ruiled to him, expressing unbounded confidence in his different views, in his different approach to them, seeing in the distinguished leader and educator all that has been said of him from time to time. -Indianapolis Freeman.

This man could hardly have been more careful, and what was his mission by the bestest, conversation with him. than many a man is doing every day in large cities, that is, trying to locate some one by scrutinizing the names in the doorplates, and it is usually the part of politeness and civility to assist a person in that task rather than to try at him with a club in hand — Charleston (S.

We are thankful the American sense of fair play has not become obsolete in a Negro an institution to the heard before, a Negro an gentle God still reigns and the world of Washington remains unimpaired by the concatenation of fortunate circumstances which darkened his path to Sunday evening Indianapolis World. A Man of Broad Charity The fact that he W. Washington decided to order a more serious charge against his assailant than simple assault is an indication of his broad charity as well as the insignificance and worthlessness of his assistant who was a white man. The assistant was a very unfortunate one, but he was not from a sectional stalemate and goes to show that the average Northern white man if the man Ulrich is a fair white man is as much affected with racial prejudice as the average Southern white man. Norfolk Journal and Guide Not a Moment's Doubt Ever with the first distorted reports published confidence in the man was so strong and reliance upon his honor so firm, that no man or woman, white or black, who has a knowledge of the man and his work, of his purity and simplicity, for a moment doubted the man as moral and absolutely unjustified. The Lord extends Dr Washington its sympathy. Dr Austin assures him of its confidence in the man as a leader and a man, and hopes quick recovery from the wounds at the hands of a brutal assailant. -The Washington Bee Ridiculous, Absurd, Preposterous The idea that Mr. Washington would insult any woman is unbelievable, and that he would wander into a strange neighborhood and call a strange white woman "sweetheart" is ridiculous, absurd preposteros. Cincinnati *Union* If You Believe in Honor No individual who believes in the perfection of character, in the virtue of the honor and chivalry of American men and of the gentlement believe a man of Booker Washington's character, life, usefulness and intelligence could so far forget himself that he would be guilty of any public action that would be clean gentleman. Atlanta Independent. A Lesson for ALL Those who are familiar with Mr. Washington laugh at the idea of his speaking to an entire stranger, for he is most retiring in his make up of golden speaking to anyone. Perhaps even Mr. Washington will in future be less optimistic about the emptiness of good manners. We hate to confess an good truth, we hate to light and this in the truth. A Negro is怕 deeply well behaved and get his brains knocked out on any street in the United States. Mobile Press Emphasizes His Hold. The happening will result in good to Dr. Washington to the extent of emphasizing the hold he has upon the color in this country. It also shows the value of correct and upright living. The damaging reports sent out were counted long before his denials had reached the ears of his friends and the public. There could be no question that Washington's statements would have been taken at their face value - Richmond (Va.) Planet. Good Out of Evil.

Beaten Because of Color The assault upon Dr. Booker Washington illustrates vividly the danger to which the colored population of a city, north, south, east or west, continually subjected. Had Dr. Washington not been an eminent gentleman and well-known educator he would doubtless have been thrown into a battered and bleeding, and perished in court the next morning—be he is a Negro. On the other hand, if any white man done precisely so dr. Washington was doing when he was assaulted—examining the plates in the entrance to a flat house no attention would have been paid to the whole state of affairs. Attention was attracted to Dr. Washington because of his color. He was assaulted without warning and beaten because of his color, how many other Negro have had just such experiences because of his color and have been they are not doctors of have an uninguished authors and philanthropist Brooklyn Standard-Union.

F. Albee, representing the Vaudeville Managers' Protective Association, and Leon Williams, Charles H Moore and Lester A. Walton, who appeared for the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association. The conference was harmonious throughout Mr. Albee clearly set forth the friendly attitude of the Managers' Association for the colored variety artist, and the representatives of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association defined the aims and objects for which the association was organized. As the result of the meeting the manager and the colored vaudevillian have a better understanding of the other's intents and purposes The head of the United Booking offices informed Messrs. Williams, Moore and Walton that it was not necessary for the colored artist to belong to any union in order to secure work; that the managers throughout the country, representing millions of dollars and thousands of theatres, large and small, had effected an organization with a view to protecting their interests, and were opposed to the unionizing of art. Mr. Albee declared that as long as the colored variety artists stood by the managers, they would stand by them. The ultimatum was issued that all performers joining the union would be blacklisted and could not get work in any of the theatres—large or small. E. F. Albee, who is considered the most commanding figure in vaudeville, in referring to last Friday's conference, stated to the dramatic editor of TAB Amz that at the meeting of the Vaudeville Managers' Protective Association last Thursday the overtures being made the colored vaudevillians by the White Rats was thoroughly discussed, and that he was personally delegated to promulgate the declarations of the managers to the colored variety artists. Although Ernest Hogan, the late comedian and song writer, first attracted general attention by writing the song, *All Coons Look Alike to Me* "yet for several years before his death he often expressed regret that he wrote the composition. More than once he declared to me that while the song made him a big sum of money and was instrumental in putting him forward in the theatrical business, he feared that the sentiment expressed in it had done the race a great harm. If he was alive to-day he would be one happy person, for he would experience the pleasure of seeing the beginning of the downfall of what appears to be a prevalent opinion regarding the race, one oftimes so vulgarly expressed. The brutal and un-called-for assault recently made on Booker T. Washington has brought about this pleasing change of conditions. The colored citizens' of this country are well aware of the dense ignorance of three-fourths of the whites on matters affecting a race which can boast of ten millions of people in the United States. Classifying all colored people alike, assuming a superficial supernity with very colored person, no matter how thickly integrated, talented or clean in morals—receiving a score in plachments or elevating environment—the majority of white fellow citizens have regarded us in a disparaging light, always discriminating, but never discriminating discriminating. So it was necessary for the leader of the race to become the victim of an attack made by an ignorant white man, who entertained the same thought as expressed by the song written by Ernest Hogan. Booker T. Washington looked like another colored person to his assistant, but when the ruffian learned of his victim's identity and, while languishing in jail was acquainted with the information that President Taft and many of the leading citizens of the country had promptly come to the educator's house to the realization that there were some sympathetic people who could command the sympathetic people and operation of the leading whites in any controversy involving the principles of right and fair play. The many expressions of esteem shown Dr. Washington by the representative Caucasians of this nation has had a salutary effect on thousands of other whites who are disposed to associate all colored people in the same category. Had the Tuskegee been an obscure colored man he would now be making the jail his temporary residence, and Easter and beautiful spring would be known to him only by heresay and not from personal observation. All of us cannot be Booker T. Washington, but from now on our white suffrains and other skeptics will not show amazing alacrity as has been the case in the past in unnailing and assaulting colored people. They will think twice before they act, and during their moments of mental activity are very apt to recall the Washington incident and conclude that they are liable to "get in bad" if they commit acts of discourtesy or violence. We all deeply deplore the assault made on Dr. Washington; we all waxed indignant when we learned of the ruffian's treatment of him. Yet we are mindful that all wind which occasioned the assault was a wind of hate. venience and palm left in its wake a condition which puts the race in a truer and better light before the world, the all wind that blew in the educator's path has convinced the white people that all members of the race are not alike, a new estimate of us which will surely make those included to offend more wary, and those disposed to undervalue our status as American citizens more considerate.

In the absence of Bert Williams from the city, the matter will be given consideration by Lester A Walton, the Frogs' vice president. The Frogs, which is composed of many of the leading colored performers and prominent business and professional colored men, is a social organization organized on similar lines as the Lambs and Players COMMENDS THE AGE.

If we can be assured of a square deal, then the proposition is worthy of consideration. In the meantime, let us make haste slowly. Repectfully, S TUTT WHITNEY GOOD ACTS AT CRESCENT Lately the Crescent Theatre management has been offering some strong attractions for the education and enjoyment of the Harlemites, and the only reason the house has not done more business is because the seating capacity does not warrant it. Kelly and Davis demonstrated that they were fully capable of taking care of the feature spot of the bib the first part of this week. This is another act from the West. The dialogue contains quite a number of "grown up" laughs. Kelly and Davis should not have much trouble doing business with the booking agents. Bunny and Freeman, during the first three days, repeated their success of a few weeks ago. Miss Freeman is wearing new costumes. There was not a poor act on the bill the latter part of last week. Saparo and Jones were headliners and made their initial appearance an impressive one. At every performance they got big hands." Dancing is the feature of the skit, and the leg work of Benny Jones is even better than when he was in The Red Moon Company. Saparo has a fine conception of "That's Why They Call Me Shine," and dresses his part in an attractive manner. The male members of the Williams Trio have the makings of a very good act. As it is they are entertaining, but there is no reason why they should not so improve on it as to secure work over the large time. Their method of introducing different characters is deserving of praise and Charlie Williams is one big scream in his character delineation of the old colored woman. Another act of merit is the Bradfords, and their skit is so constructed as to make it enjoyable throughout. The Bradfords sing, dance, talk and play the piano, and get applause for each and every stunt. Selma Lawrence is a clever singer, who has a winning personality, and should be seen next season in one of the colored shows playing a soubrette role.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BAYLERS HAWKON All Stars Defeat Cavalrymen. WHEN the smoke of battle had cleared away at the 69th Regiment Armory, Lexington avenue and 65th street, the soldier boys of the 10th Cavalry found that their colors had been lowered by the young warriors of Manhattan. None was more surprised than the boys in blue from Fort Eleanor Allen, and the cavalrymen were excitedly too, too. For the scouted all Stars 30; 10th Cavalry basketball team. 14. It was a spiritedly contested match, in which science conquered over beef and brawn. Not that the soldiers failed to display any skill throughout the contest but the young swells representing Greater New York put up such an effort to display athleticism of basketball that the work of the soldiers seemed slow in comparison. The contrast furnished by the two teams was great. With the exception of Bradford and Accoe, the All Stars looked like midgets by the side of the cavalrymen. Even the soldiers were forced to surrender as the enemy unbound and for joy, and they vividly concluded that it was all over but the shouting. But the All Star aggregation, despite the fact that the team cannot brag of much avoidurols, is one of the fastest quints in the country, and the team works together like clockwork. Every little movement seems to have a value of its own, and some of the passes they executed were the best seen on a local court, this season. Accope and Trice were the stars of the game. In the last half Accope set all to applauding by making a basket from the middle of the court. Jack Trice is one of the most aggressive little players that ever shot a ball from the ground and a cavalryman weighing nearly one hundred pounds more than he did not seem to matter. Capt Bradford played his usual reliable game, and Scottron and Wiggins appeared to advantage. Franklin scored the most points for the star. The star quint of the 10th Cavalry made the New York swells work hard for their barrels, and while they are not the equals of the All Stars in team work and shooting the ball, they constitute a gingerbread bunch, always on the alert and ready to take advantage of the slightest opening. The contest was marked by rough playing on both sides. Cavalrymen Tricky Players. Several acrobatic stunts were pulled off during the intervals of rough playing which occasioned laughter. More foils should have been called. The boys in blue proved as tricks as the men in red. An All Star player attempted to tackle a cavalryman by jumping on his back he was usually given a quick excursion through the air. Medical aid and stucking plaster were called into use several times during the play, but no dream in the second half, but no one was seriously injured It was the All Star game from the beginning. The youngsters made the first goal after only a few minutes of play and took the goal half a minute apart of the boys in blue tie the score, but the New York swells soon forged ahead, the first half ending in a score of 4 to 9. The All Stars, after securing a real team back with blood in their eyes, chipped old blood into their eyes with little or no time. Then they began to score often while the visitors made but five points during the last period. During the evening the 10th Cavalry band rendered several selections under the Coloe Musician Ally J. Thomas, and each number was heartily applauded. There is no question about the All Stars having a crack quint, and levers of the game would like to see the team and the Alphas bury their differences and play for the championship of the New York Yankees. It would be a match worth seeing, as Alpha is playing an excellent game just now, and such a contest would draw a record-breaking crowd. The line-up: All Stars. 10th Cavaliar. Scottsdale. R. F.

Manager John W Connor, of the Royal Giants, is delighted with the showing his team made so early in the season. After establishing a great record at Palm Beach, Fla., this winter, the team opened for the spring in Jacksonville, Fla., last week, playing a series of three games with Rube Foster's American Giants, formally the Leland Giants. The Royal Giants won the first game with a 1 to 2 score, Lindsay, the American's crack punch against Andrews. The American Giants won the second game, 2 to 4 Crawford and Drothy doing the slab work and the New Yorkers shut out the American Giants in the third game, 3 to 0 with Andrews on the bung line. The Royal Giants also have defeated teams in Marantha, Flia, Mobile, Ala. New Orleans and Pensacola, Flia. Manager Connor says that the team has not lost any of its strength by some of last season's players going to the Lincoln Giants and the St Louis Giants. He has his eye on some new material, and announces that he will have in the threep Monroe at second, Handy, short, Miller, third, Al Robinson, first James and Collins, catchers, Earl Thomas and Dunbar in the outfield, and Bowman utility man.

He came to us a very little tattered, and all through his soil he was the same gentle, obedient, I little fellow. You may see he loved his teachers and his coaches and I am sure In the pressure that he gave he received." I know he was a general favorite with the boys, and I am sure he was well beloved by all his teachers. We reft so sorry for him when he so suddenly lost both his parents. He was so gentle, it was now that that his heart suffered. We are interest sympathy. All we hope and believe is that he is with his loved ones. But very sturdy, and with deep regret, J. Cottamss It no pal My dear Mrs. Wharton. I laughed with consternation that little John Joseph is dead. How sorrowful I am I did not call to see him before he died. We are so very busy with our many cares that we are guilty of neglect. I knew of course, that he had left school, because he was not strong but did not for a moment think he was steadily falling. I really and truly loved him and would give a good deal had I known of the seriousness of his condition. How good it would have taken such kind charge of him, when his parents died. We all suffered with him at that time, because it was such a cruel blow. I can only say he was never guilty of the slightest rudeness or unkindness to his stimates at time. He was insufferably gentle, attentive, intelligent and helpful. What a loss he must be to you if I am sure he gave us all the joy of a child. Avoid my best efforts to simplify. If the blessing this word should speak to you will be the blessing for him, for he was a general writer. With deeper sorrow when death and with sorrow after death remain.

Davidson Invents Automatic Fee Adjustment for Adding Machines Which Probably Will Be Adopted by Government. The race as well as the individual scored a decided and unchallenged triumph, when Shelby J. Davidson, a colored slick, $1,600 grade, in the office of the auditor of the post office, Treasury Department, demonstrated before Auditor Charles A. Kram and the officials, including Hon. Merritt O. Chance, former auditor, and now secretary of the President's Economy and Efficiency Commission, an automatic fee attachment for adding machines, which he has just invented to facilitate the handling of the large and increasing work of auditing the money order accounts. Mr. Davidson, who is a native of Lex- ington, Ky., is forty-one years of age. SHELBY J. DAVIDSON graduate of the College Department of Howard University and a lawyer, being member of his home bar and of the District of Columbia He has given some attention to literature and was president of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association during its balmest days. He entered the government service immediately after his graduation in 1893 as an unclassified laborer at $600 per annum, being a protege of the late William C. P Breckenridge, who so long represented the Seventh Kentucky District in Congress. It was during this time he studied law and entered the classified service after a competitive examination, outranking twenty-five or more competitors, was after three years promoted to $720 per annum and transferred to the office where he is now employed. It was about this time that the adding machine first made its appearance and was being tried on the work of the Office. Mr. Davidson often tells how never having seen an adding machine, the very sight of the one being used was like a magnet, so fascinating that any spare moments he spent looking at the mechanical wonder. The number was increased steadily to three, five and twelve; by this time his observations and investigations had lead him to keep track of the repair man which every machine company keeps employed, until from time to time the different kinds of troubles were familiar to him and the remedy as well. Finally there came a crisis, when four or five of the twelve machines were out of commission and had been for three or four days and repeated calls for the most failed to give any relief. It was then reported by the chief of the division that Mr. Davidson had some technical knowledge of the machine and the chief requested him to see what he could do to relieve the situation Mr. Davidson expressed his willingness to try, but suggested that in the event of some damage he would be held responsible, not having authority, thereupon the chief clerk being advised designated Mr. Davidson in charge of care, maintenance and repair of adding machines, which he has since held Under the administration of Hon. M. O. Chance by special order Mr. Davidson was relieved of all clerical work and devotes his entire attention to the upkeep of more than four adding machines of four different makes. Among some of the things Mr. Davidson has been able to accomplish are the changing from drop-light attachment for connecting adding machine to a baseboard connection with separate cutout and circuits for each machine, light attachments for each machine connected with motor thereof a design for furniture now used with great satisfaction, by the Office, for adding machines, and during the reorganization which placed the audit on a machine basis the scheme submitted and tested out by him formed a nucleus of the plan which has been the means of reducing the working force, lessening the physical and mental labors of the employees and increasing efficiency, accuracy and absoluteness of the audit. The present invention is the third bearing directly on the work of the auditor's office, the first was a rewind device for using the paper four times in need of once, a saving of 75 per cent. of the government, the second, an adjustable metal money-order holder tending to lessen the angle of vision of operators using the large machines. The present invention in which he has associated with him Mr. Edwin J. Dowling, chief electorate of the Post Office Department, makes it possible for an operator with knowledge of the schedule of government fees, for money orders, to audit a account in one-half of the time with absolute and dependable accuracy. Mr. Davidson has a picturesque home life with a wife and two children, a boy of 14 and a girl of twelve years. In his literary quests he has gathered a large and well-selected library and between books and machines he spends his leisure hours. The present invention is the work of six years. Payne Memorial A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, N. Y Sunday was Communion Day. In the morning the pulpit was occupied by the Rev. Mitchell. In the afternoon the Sabbath school, under the superintendence of W. F. Daniels, was well attended. Several visitors were present. Walter De Shields has charge of the mary department. York City, delivered an interesting service. The installation of the trustees took place immediately after the preaching. The following trustees were elected for the year: W. F. Daniels, C. W. Everett, R. S. Dvall, Daniel Sparrow and Murray S. Graves. The parlor social given at the residence of Mrs. James, 520 Waverly avenue, last week, was a complete success. It was for the benefit of the Women's Mite Missionary Society of our church. Mrs. Marie Eady was elected delegate to attend the W. M. M. S. convention, which was held in the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church last Thursday. The local society made a fair report. There will be a grand pink tea party and a musical concert given by Mrs. W. F. Daniels and the Wynne Family at the church Thursday evening, April 6. The Usher's Board of the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Profs. B. F. Johnson and Selvey, with other city talent, will assist. Mrs. B. S. Seldon, accompanist. There will be memorial services in honor of Bishop Grant held Sunday, April 2, at 7:30 P. M. Rev. W. W. Beckett, D.D., will be the principal speaker. Addresses, solos, etc., will be rendered. There will be a special Mite Missionary service held Sunday next at 3 P. M. Rev. S. H. Hale of East New York will deliver a special discourse to the sisters. Mrs. B. S. Seldon was organist at the church last Sunday, and rendered valuable services, to the delight of all who heard her. Mrs. Seldon is quite a competent and progressive young lady and deserves much credit. DOORS OF NEW CHURCH OPENED (Continued from page 1) R. Brown, who had served the parish in that capacity for the past thirty-eight years. A notable figure present at the celebration was Mr. Aaron F. Potter, whose connection with the parish dates back to the Centre Street Church in 1840, and who is regarded as the oldest living male member of the congregation. His reminiscences of the church, which he has served as warden, vestryman and Sunday School superintendent, are full of interest and well worth preservation. The corporation having in charge the construction of the new church edifice comprises the rector, Rev. Hutchens Chew Bishop, church wardens, William H Smith, Francis H. Carmand, vestrymen, Theodore A. Morse, Charles D. Pedro, William H. Smith, Jr., Claude M Moten, William A. Heylger, J. Eugene Mars, Timothy Knight. Rev. Everard W Daniel is the curate. Messrs. Tandy & Foster were the architects and the contractors were Messrs. Wakeham & Miller. ANDERSON IN A HOLD-UP (Continued from Page 1) Although Collector Anderson is seldom seen to cover a large amount of ground in a short space of time, usually exhibiting considerable dignity in traversing the terra firma, for some reason he deviated from his general custom that evening and reached the subway in record-breaking time. No official figures have been given out to date relative to what the collector made it in, but he admits himself that he was going some. And he claims he was not scared a bit—not until he reached home and told his wife DR. ERNEST LYON HONORED your power to enhance Liberia's welfare and that your relations with the department will be of the most harmonious and cordial character." Dr Lyon is a man of ability. He was educated at the New Orleans University and the Union Theological Seminary, New York. He was pastor of the John Wesley M. E. Church, this city, when President Roosevelt appointed him to the Liberian mission. While in that country he made an exhaustive study of economic and political status. He succeeded in having this government sent a commission, composed of Roland P Falkner, Emmett J. Scott and George Sale, to Liberia in order that conditions might be studied at first hand. The commission aroused general interest in the problems confronting the little West African Republic, and efforts are now being made to place it upon a firm financial basis. R. T. HILL MISSING Cashier of Defunct True Reformers' Savings Bank cannot Be Found—Left His Home Early Last Friday Morning. Special to THE NEW YORK AQR. Richmond, Va., March 29—The talk of the town is the disappearance of R. T. Hill, cashier of the defunct True Reformers' Savings Bank. He left his home early Friday morning, and his family looked for him all during that day until Saturday night their apprehension increased and they reported to the police headquarters about his prolonged stay from home. A diligent search for him in the city has been made and the only evidence procurable was that he boarded a train at Elba, a station of the R. F. Railroad in this city, and it is thought that he went to Washington. Hill was a member of the Lott Carey Foreign Missionary Society and a number of other societies, and because these societies had lost their moneys by the Savings Bank going into the hands of receivers, he was worried so much that it is stated by some of his family that his mind may be affected on account of teal mental strain. It is stated that he felt personally responsible for the funds of the organizations of which he was treasurer, and that he was about to perfect a deal where he could raise enough money to make good the funds of the Lott Carey Society. A description of Hill has been sent to police headquarters of other cities, and a persistent search is now on to find him since he is believed to be mentally unbalanced. It is understood that the receivers of the bank are about to make their report. Hill has been assuring the receivers. His sudden departure has caused many conjectures to be made For the latest Theatrical news read The New York Age. THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1911 DON'T BE FOOLED with the claims of fraud hair remedies that promise to do more than nature itself. It is better to depend upon an old reliable hair tonic like Kinkise, with years of reputation behind it and the acknowledgment of thousands of friends of its value and worth. Kinkine has been before the public too long for anyone to doubt its efficiency. Kinkine Hair Dressing is a delightful perfumed tonic prepared especially for the use of colored people; is guaranteed to be absolutely safe and harmless.

Y., March 28.—A petition signed by many of the women students of Cornell University has been submitted to the Board of Trustees protesting against colored women students rooming in Sage College, the woman's dormitory. The petition has been signed by most of the women living in the dormitory and by some outsiders, the total number of petitioners being over 200 girls. Several of the white girls refused to sign. The race question is now a tense issue among the co-eds following the recent application of two colored students to be assigned to rooms in Sage College. This application has not yet been acted upon, and the decision of the trustees is awaited eagerly. The question was first stirred up several weeks ago when an article was published in The Cornell Era, written by a Negro student, James B. Clark, who asserted that two young women had been denied rooms in Sage College, and demanded an official statement by the university officers. It is expected that one will be made now. HOME FOR AGED. Springfield, O., March 28.—That a home for aged colored women may be established in this city, Mrs. S. E. Huffman, one of the organizers of the Beacon Light Society which was formed about eight years ago, is endeavoring to raise funds to enlarge a four-roomed house owned by the society in North Murray street. At the time the society was formed it took over the Murray street house and by careful management, the purchase price, taxes and other expenses were paid out of the rent. Many of the original backers of the movement either died or deserted the project, leaving, it is said, the burden on Mrs. Huffman, who was the financial secretary. The mortgage on the property has been canceled and it is the hope of the society to now raise sufficient funds to enlarge the building and establish the home for aged colored women.
