TUTORS DENIED REINSTATEMENT Executive Committee of Howard and Board of Deans Meet Testimony Showed that They Had Confessed Violating Some of the Institution's Rules Several Speeches in the Interest of Expelled Tutors Feavoring Clemency Made But To No Good Purpose. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Washington, D. C., April 5 — After the meeting of the executive committee of Howard University which was called last Saturday evening, together with the board of deans of the collegiate department, it was announced that the case of the tutors who were recently forced to resign on account of admissions made by them to an anonymous charge stood exactly as before the meeting was called. The committee decided that the young men could not be reinstated. The testimony offered at the hearing made it clearly apparent that they had impreparably prejudiced their case by the confessions on which the act of the board of trustees was taken. The only weakness displayed by the university was admission in cross-examination through a logical technicality that a mistake had been made in drastically forcing the tutors' resignation. This admission, however, proved of no great weight at the hearing. The case was taken from the university bill because of the excitement it would have occasioned there, and was held at the Court of Claims on Pennsylvania avenue. Dr. Thirkield was present for the university, as president; W.V. Cox, Dr. J R Francis, Dr. J H N Waring, Judge Atkinson, Prof. Geo. Cook and Judge Peele, as members of the executive committee of the trustee board, and Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. Lewis B Moore and Prof. Cummings—who with Prof. Cook constitute the board of deans of the college of liberal arts, which board ratified the president's action in asking resignations from the young gentlemen for whom the hearing was held. Tutors Represented by Counsel. A meeting was first held of this joint committee on hearing after which the tutors and their counsel were admitted. The case was introduced by President Thirkeld, who made a brief statement of the facts on which he had acted. Attorney James A Cobb, for the defense, introduced evidence to show that none of the statements made in the anonymous letter to President Thirkeld was correct save that the tutors had entered a place where liquors were sold. This evidence was later substantiated by a statement from Prof Kelley Miller, who had investigated the other anonymous charges. The university counsel objected to this line of defense on the ground that the matter was closed and that the committee had not decided that it was necessary to reconsider it. Attorney Harry Davis then took up the defense, asking for a reopening of the case and that its status be set at the time when the anonymous letter was first received by the university president. This request led to an extensive argument on technicalities lasting more than two months. The university counsel insisted that the committee put in their testimony then and there before the committee would decide whether they wished to waste their decision against the tutors. One of the young men was put on the stand and made the same admissions as before. It became immediately plain that a plea for confession and avoidance could never reopen the case and that it could only have been reopened by a plea to the general issue, not guilty. Other Names Dragged Into Cape In the cross-examination following the defendant on the stand repeatedly proclaimed not only the legal aspect of the case but the popular side as well. Apparently to rest the blame on their children, several times the names of various other young men were brought in which action practically killed all sympathy to death of those involved, or at least to the defendant who made the admission. It was known that the other young men who had not been called to the hearing were prepared to refute the allegations against them. I am the congressman George H. W. White of North Carolina was introduced and made an impassioned appeal for the conviction and charity and may speak as a friend of all persons as a member of the advisory board. I am the university of which Press Letters also a member. Immei watertite speech Dr. Thirkield, who was being called for the question, hearing the matter. He was cross-examined by Attorney Davis. An answer to questions propounded frequently in various parts of the room with the hearing was held. During the conduct of the case the anonymous letter was not displayed, as it was proven that the action of the executive committee was based on the damaging admissions made by the tutors. The hearing was begun in the early evening and ended at 11 o'clock, with the situation standing exactly as previously, the young tutors failing in their plea for reinstatement. HOLD CONFERENCE IN BOSTON National Association For the Advancement of Colored People Discusses Race Discrimination — Name of Booker T. Washington Arouses Enthusiasm. Special to The New York Agn. Boston, Mass, April 4-At the third annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held in this city last week at the Park Street Church, resolutions regretting the recent attack on the race's leader, Booker T. Washington, were adopted. The resolution: Resolved. That we put on record our profound regret at the recent assault on Dr. Booker T. Washington in New York City, in which the association finds renewed evidences of race discrimination, calling for the weakening of the public conscience. Resolutions were also adopted urging the importance of inquiry into the subjects of Federal aid to education and declaring the race question was really due to the spirit of caste. The greatest enthusiasm was occasioned at Thursday morning's session when Moorfield Storey, who was presiding, praised Booker T. Washington. The session throughout was marked by the declarations and resolutions deploring the existence of race prejudice in the United States against the Negro. The white speakers were as equally sincere in their protests against discrimination as the Negroes present. In referring to "the wave of color hysteria" that is sweeping the country, Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, said in part: "Encouraging as all this is, there can be no doubt that a wave of color hysteria is sweeping over the country. The road of the aspiring Negro or Negress becomes more and more difficult; he is abused for his low associations. Let him seek to rise above them, and what happens? Despite the fact that he has for years been told that if he acquires property and buys himself a house all will be well with him and his family; if he does so in a section of a city, whether it be New York, Seattle, Baltimore or Richmond, in which he may assure to his children good associations, pure air and clean streets, he is assailed as if his presence there meant the bringing of a taint worse than leprosy and the laws are invoked against him. Let him arrive in New York at night and seek a lodging in a respectable hotel, and there is only one at which his application would for a moment be considered. In Southern cities the public libraries are closed in the face of the Negro who would make himself a useful, law-abiding and valuable citizen. His wife may be ill and desire the aid of Northern surgeons; if so she must travel in a day coach, and is denied in some States a Pullman berth, and by the son of Abraham Lincoln—even though it may cost her her life, as it did in one case of which we know. So far has this color hysteria gone that a Mississippi court has awarded $25,000 damages to a woman who sued because she had been compelled to spend a night in a sleeping car in which were also five bishops of the church who were Negroes. And in almost every other field of human activity there are those who would assert the doctrine that all men may rise save he whose skin is black." The following officers were elected Moorfield Storey, president; John E. Milthooll, vice-president; Oswald Villard, chairman of the executive committee, and Morris Sachs, treasurer. PLAN NEW HIGH SCHOOL Special to The New York Age. Baltimore, Md. April 5—In keeping with the new spirit of the school system of this city is the proposed ordinance introduced in the City Council by Mr. Cummings, appropriating $100,000 for a new high school for colored students. It is proposed to erect the building in the territory bounded on the north by McMechen street, on the south by Franklin street, on the east by Drud Hill avenue, and on the west by Myrtle avenue. The ordinance has been referred to the committee on education, and there is reason for believing its pass age will speedily be recommended WILKINSON SUCCEEDS MILLER Special to TURN NEW YORK AGR.

Knights of the Tray Differ as to Cause of State of Affairs DEFENDS THE HEADWAITER J. Arthur Davis Says He Does Not Grab an Charged—Thinks Conditions Due to Race Prejudice and Competition. Washington, D. C., April 4.—The statement recently made in the Age by John Bell, of Atlanta, Ga., in which he advanced reasons why the Negro waiter was losing out in this country, has been the subject of much comment among colored waiters of the North, East, South and West for several weeks. Many exceptions have been taken to the charge that the primary cause of the decline of the Negro waiter is due to the inclination of the headwaiter to sell jobs to the waiters. J Arthur Davis, of this city, is one of the waiters to take issue with Mr. Bell. In discussing the question of why the Negro waiter is losing out, Mr. Davis made the following observations to a representative of The Age: I observed in a recent issue of The Age that Joshon Bell, a waiter, of Atlanta, attempted to explain why the Negro waiter North and West was losing out and eschewed the Negro waiter Charles for this dying employment which effects perhaps one-fifth of the Negro population furnish an elfish of the Negro population too difficult to be explained away by his cynical criticism. It is not because the headwaiter sells jobs to waiters nor be expected to consequence default in their work. He cites Chicago and Omaha as instances where headwalters are grafters. Anyone thoroughly acquainted with grafters is unlikely to unite the panic of 1997 hotel work was so plentiful that headwalters were practically at the mercy of waiters. Certainly there could be no chance for graft under such conditions. There are many cases where any serious complaint against waiters failing to do their work. Yet I do not deny that some Negro headwalters are grafters. I have known some isolated cases of Negro headwalters who took their places to be equally as great grafters. I have observed in such cases that such system solicited the most faithful services, both because the waiter desired to make good in order to get the proper return for the money he would be to the interest of the headwaiter's system to change waiters frequently to swell his own income. This he generally would do at the least provocation, as he never guaranteed a life-time job. It is perfectly natural that a man who would be willing to buy a job would render full services. Umbra in no hotel city and deserves no special comment here. Some of the Causes. Careful consideration of this losing out would indicate the causes to be. 1. A hotel now always represents large financial interests, usually corporations. It is the modern tendency to reform all business principles, methods, and discipline of employees. It has been a general condition that managers of hotels were an uneducated class, the most stupid men of the country, the most bureaucratic, the most susceptible to changes and renovation. In most cases they started as room clerks and elevator bosses unacquainted with the service and culinary of hotels in other cities. The dining room was the center of attraction financially and socially. The Northern Negro, the African-American, the traveled extensively and mastered this business by reason of varied experiences in different cities, and he therefore made the hotel what it was. But now the European system has ramified the country, hotel managers have grapped better ideas of the work, have infused news of the world into the hotel to a plane where it can be classed as a dignified employment for average white men. 2. Foreigners have immigrated to this country no encomium that the average native white finds it necessary to dignify every avenue of employment and seeks a hotel job as a receptionist. By modernizing the hotel managers have eliminated the American plan for economic reasons, and to give their own blood employment, have generally displaced both the headwaiter and waitress for white help. From my experience, an American can make any charge against Negro help. They simply change when they get ready, as a woman changes styles of dress, neither giving reasons or notice. Every new hotel and every hotel remodelled with few exceptions employs white help. It has become a hot topic. This employment has been hurt by the great wave of prejudice just as the Negro office holder. The public no longer considers it a duty to tip the Negro waiter. Some continue it with a demeanor that is not demonized by the employment that the Negro no longer has much interest in it, and many who are energetic seek other avenues. This gives room to employ white girls with the same class of Negro labor as the hotel staff. 4. The Negro has been too service. Mr. Bell seems to think the Negro waiter could maintain himself Some Interesting Facts About the Circulation of The Age and Why It is in Demand by Advertisers This is to Certify that there have been published and distributed during the months of January, February and March, 1911, 275,000 copies of The New York Age. FRED R. MOORE, Publisher Sworn to and subscribed to before me this third day of April, 1911 FREDERICK W. KLEIN, Notary Public New York County, 2105 against this great war, the treatment ment by servility by the enemy, the self indispensable nature of the trine goes. The New Yorker has respected the author, and the gro headwaiter with the side slide work and bravery, which received that enormous praise, which could only make the suffer of burden. Think of it! The great investment requires that you wear a suit, neat socks, white shirt, cuffs and collar. You also same time wear pearl necklace and the floor. shining silver bracelet brass. Will not do so. If he has done too much, he will have to wear a garter. The white wafer necklace should be removed. Be progressive in your service, create a silver bracelet. Have your silver men's polish brass. Have your wash windows, your kitchen, your carry my trays and, if you first-class food, and give me, give me decent, money in which to change my clothes, and give me shorter hours to work, then you month. Understand, they always succeed fail to tip me I'll ask them but I. This the white wafer denim that he gets. Hotel service is required and modernized as other guest services information could have performed, and the team energetic enough to try it. It is 85 years ago, before the first important of hoteling in America. We don't know how to do it, but in many other efforts at self-existence, the team organized effort. No doubt, a union formed and a college founded to instruct waiters would be added to staff, to provide employment, and to facilitate the attention and respect of the staff, to make the union formidable, which he could have educated the staffers up to accept to reasonable gratitude. It is not denials that a manager or Negro waiters in a hotel during room shun the burdens of work and serving cheap guests. Having the opportunity for his waiter to display the equality no more than the average citizen enjoys equal administration of justice. To minimize the risk of work of some waiters and to give them the best people to serve in the usual custom which the most wealthy fit enjoy. Survival of the business. In the last analysis, it is the survival of the fitter, the waiter, not acquainted with any other occupation natural or artificially favors man in social administration of discipline and government. Some up, some down, some up, some down. It is this social condition that causes more than anything else suspicion of play, or headwaiter graft. In a manner this discrimination is a waiter's only promotion for past efficient services or some existing reputation, as few as possible. A scribed race inhibits them from ever aspiring to be chief clerks or managers The burden of the work therefore falls upon the less fortunate, but it is so admirably performed by them as to solicit no due criticism from the manager, as it is not so emboldened to offer ironclads to the enemy, cumulity of the Negro in America. Ritted against the enegetic but unjust Caucasian he seems to be casted bither and yon. Now and then he seems to progress in this line, and that, when he is produced, he creates. Who knows but ultimately his labor at the South as well as the North will become rapidly dispensable. The Northern Negro represents the most intelligent and efficient labor the race has yet produced. Still it be expected that the Negro will become intelligent and efficient. I repeat then, the displacement of Negro waiters is an omen to the race. If several decades ago the economic and social conditions of the North were too well developed to tolerate free labor in the South, the Negro would become hostile to labor unprotected by unions and true manhood. If the Caucasian blood of the North which is the same blood of the South, grows intolerant of the Negro labor, time will be spent in the South in the fabricial fabrics of the South, to admit freely the foreigner together with native white labor now growing industrious to the labor market to displace the Negro there whose labor it many markets is already indispensable. The Negro will waiter graft and waiters' failure to do side work. It is in a nutshell race antipathy and Caucasian competition. For the latest Theatrical news read The New York Age. L. S. WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW Warner, 1903 as [Babe] Johnson, Jr. Pearl West (FMT) - Report of Auditor After Right Investigation. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Washington, D. C., April 4, 1895. From the records which appear in the published reports of the Grand Unified Order of Odd Fellows, it is shown that Will Houston and Ben Davis, in that "titanic" Odd Fellows, entitled of the "Atlanta Independent," published last December, entered into a campaign of deliberate misrepresentation. The reports show that from 1897 to 1905 J. C. Ashbury did not have control of the collection of the funds for the Odd Fellows Journal. The Grand Secretary up to this time was responsible for the collections of all subscriptions from lodges and households. When Mr. Ashbury took charge of his own collections, there was an indebtedness of $1,900 hanging over the printing plant. Between January 1, 1905, and August 1, 1908, he paid off this indebtedness, turned $500 in cash into the general fund of the order and purchased $4,500 worth of machinery on account of which he had paid $2,000. During this time he paid from the receipt of his office, his own salary and all expenses attending the publication of the Journal and the publication of the printing plant and increased the annual receipts of the department from $7,100 in 1904 to $7,400 in 1908. When the B. D. M. met at Atlantic City, N. J., in September 1908, the OM. Felix Journal was in a flourishing condition. At his meeting, Will Houston and Ben Davis tried to deceive J. C. Ashbury for re-election. They infiltrated. It was then requested by those who ought to know that every effort would be made during the next two years by the Houston administration to make the Journal a failure by diverting as much as possible of the printing of the order from the order's printing plant to white shops. Attempt Made to Destroy Order's Plant. That these rumors were not idle is evidenced by the fact that for the two years ending August 31, 1908, the order paid its own printing plant for job work $16,193 62, and for the two years ending August 31, 1910, $10,802 14, a difference of $5,391 48. And this is the reason the Odd Fellow Journal owed for current expenses (when Mr Asbury relinquished) $2,538 29. Notwithstanding the efforts to destroy the order's printing plant, the editor paid during five years $3,630 00 for new machinery. These figures are taken from published reports of the order, to which every member has access and they prove beyond question that there was some tall lying in that special edition of the Independent The statements in the same publication concerning the circumstances under which Mr Ashbury relinquished his office were false in fact and inference. An attempt was made to try and dismiss Mr Ashbury on charges growing out of the Baltimore B. M. C. He refused to appear before the S. C. M. and took them to court. That he would have secured the injunction sought and revoked the charter is the opinion of every lawyer who has seen the record in the case. He resigned his office at the suggestion of the court that he could have no complaint if he were paid his salary to the end of the term and the charges preferred against him were dismissed without his appearing before the S. C. M. or in any way submitting himself to them or acknowledging their right to try. An agreement to this effect was entered into in open court. A copy of it is obtained on Kare S. The meeting held at the auditorium last week, when the Governor was the principal speaker, was a failure, when the attendance is considered. In Richmond, and as reports show from other States, the people are not interested in the present plant of the organization and there is evident a distraction, which is appalling to those whose philosophy was utilitarian. We declined that Attorney Newbury received any money from the officials to pay the expenses incurred by traveling,付 of incurring many expenses of the order, and he asserts that the executive committee is the giving the right single-handed and having for ourselves that the executive committee should willingly take. The same attitude that were in love when India was the largest being used by Holmes. The organization can be saved, but it will have to be done by letting the people know the true condition of affairs and not scheming to keep intelligent and honest men out of certain positions. The bank receivers are to make their reports next week, so it is claimed, then interesting developments are expected COMMEND THE AGE Debate Held in Hartford Relative to Morris of Two Negro Newspapers— The Leading Negro Newspaper Awarded Decision by Judges. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Hartford, Conn. April 5 - A debate was held here last week under the auspices of one of our business leagues The subject was, 'Resolved. That the policy of THE New York AGE is more conducive to the best interests of the Negro than that of the Boston Guardian. Each of these papers has a large following in the city and the policy of each was ably defended. Walter Murry and John Wilson spoke eloquently in favor of the policy of THE AGE, and J. H. Bonaparte and J. L. Wheeldin defended the Guardian. The judges unanimously decided in favor of THE New York AGE. MANY WHITES EVICTED. The Seventh District Municipal Court was crowded Monday with white tenants who had been dispossessed by Nail & Parker, acting as real estate agents for St Philip's Church, which recently purchased apartment houses on the north side of 135th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues. Over seventy white defendants were present, and they told Magistrate Davis that they did not see why they should move because colored people bought the property. Magistrate Davis gave them until Friday to vacate the premises, and ruled that the agents could dispose of the houses according to their own desires. Directly after the defeat, and carried his plea, Counsellor Wilhelm Smith, Dr. Washington's attorney, went into consultation with District Attorney Whitman, relative to having the case taken before the Grand Jury for trial sideration, it being his desire to keep Ulrich stand trial for a more serious charge than that of assault. The present charge against Ulrich will be tried in about a month at which Dr. Washington will be able to be sent to New York City, unless the Grand Jury intends the裁判员的 assasination as a more serious charge. Dr. Washington, emphatically reaffirms the dispatches sent out from Palm Beach early last week initiating the protection of Ulrich, would be dropped. The Tuskegee Institute as a misstatement the infiltration that he has in any way justified the unimposed attack upon him. The whole story is abashed like true interpersonal does him gross injury. Continue to Adopt Resolutions. Many resolutions deploring the uncalled for attack on Dr. Washington and expressing confidence in his high character and leadership have been recently adopted by Negro organizations throughout the country. The following resolutions were passed at a meeting of the Council of Clergymen of Galveston Tex.: Resolved. That this council of clergymen of the City of Galveston, Texas, do convey to Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute, State of Alabama, our sympathy and as an educator and man of noble parts: moral, civil and religious. Resolved. That this assault is a specimen of what necessarily follows the disrespect and suspicion sown by the general trend of prejudice cultivated by the impress of color, and that the nature of principle and character of which the Negro is no less wanting than other races of men. The shade of the skin in the mind of the rough makes a classification similar to his own. Resolved, that in the assault upon this distinguished man, simply from the black, his suffering on the Negro, may be read the principle on which many of the Negro race have suffered, and still suffer throughout the nation. This mistaken identity and color, often donned by others for a purpose. Resolved, that the better classes of the black, and related people condemn unjustly such a spirit from pulpit, chair, bench, bar, and press. Since it, has now become unsafe for a man, because of the shade of the skin to walk the common places of human habitation in the very metropolis of the nation. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions sent the sufferer, Dr. R. T. Washington, and a copy also be sent to the New York Age, New York World, and other papers for publication. At a recent meeting of the Central Pennsylvania Medical Society the following resolutions were adopted. Whereas we learn through the public press of the atrocious assault upon the person of Dr. Booker T. Washington and the charge both by him, we learn and some of his less kindly disposed critics, of suspicious conduct. Be it resolved that we, the members of the Central Pennsylvania Medical Society herewith extend our condolences to Dr. Washington in this memorable episode, and our sincere belief in his moral integrity and conscientious uprightness. We condemn the scandalous actions taken against the arrogance and garantized affection of the seeming traditions on the part of certain of his critics to make capital of it. We realize what the loss of public confidence in Dr. Washington is a solid mean to the entire community in him that we still look to him as embracing those attributes belonging to one of the world's most and best. He it further resolved that a copy of our memorial to Dr. Washington and a copy be given to the press. Dr. Washington is said to have almost entirely recovered from the injuries inflicted by Ulrich.

Among those who contributed to the musical and literary program were the Rev. Walter D McClane, rector of St. Barnabas P. E. Church, who delivered a very instructive address; Mrs. Wm. A. Alexander, Mr. Jesse Ferguson, Miss Beatrice Williams, Mrs. William F. Abbott, Miss Georgia Cook, Miss Alberta Mills, Miss Ursula Hall, Miss Lulu Brown, Mrs Ellisa Gilbert, Miss Williams, Miss Brown, Mr. Bush, Miss Nellie Murphy, Miss Edna Levy, Mrs. M. E. Phillips, and choruses by the society. Union Baptist Church. Sunday morning was a bright and brilliant morning. Our people turned out in a large number. Our pastor preached a well prepared sermon on "Self Examination." The Sunday School also turned out in large numbers under Superintendent Johnson. At the close of the Sunday School our pastor hurried up to the Mercy Seat B. C. where he had been booked to preach. An appreciative audience was present. At 5:30 p. m. the Baptist Young People's Meeting showed themselves to be very much alive, under the direction of the president, Mrs. A. Williams. At 7:30 p. m. the church was crowded as usual to hear the pastor preach on the Sunday School lesson. In preaching he presented Naaman's condition, and the source of his cure. Mother Zion. The services at Mother Zion were largely attended all day. In the morning the Rev Thomas Miles, of Brooklyn, preached a very intellectual sermon. He gave out many thoughts which showed deep research as to the purpose and place of Jesus Christ in the life of men. At the conclusion of the sermon, Dr. C. M. Grahdison made a strong appeal for souls. At the Sunday School hour William Dyer had charge of the sermon, and as usual attended and the program good. The Lyceum was well attended and the program good. The Price Weekly, as read by Mrs. E. C. Foaring, was especially good. The 11th Thanksgiving services of the Ancient United Order of the Sons and Masters of Moses, under the auspices of Richard Allen Tabernacle, No. 95, with their invited guests, were held at Mother Elen in the evening. The order had prepared an excellent program, with Mrs. Nettie Brown as master of ceremonies. The pastor, Rev R. M Holden, who is a member of the order, preached from the next. The congregation, preached from the next. I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." His subject was "Christ, the light of the World." He said that light and heat had been from the very earliest a positive force for preserving the life of mankind. The heat energy of the sun stored in the rocks of the earth, kept us from freezing to death. While this is true, Jesus Christ is the central light 25 W.133rd Street with a superior element of energy for lifegiving force. He went on to show that what the pillar of fire was to Israel in the wilderness of humanity. Christ is in the wilderness of humanity. This light in the wilderness was to guide their movements, not their conduct. It was eternal, but influencing their minds. Christ Jesus' life serves for both purposes, external and internal, because he is the true light sent from God to guide mankind. Second, the light which Christ brought was the light of life. His Spirit feeds the spirit of man and sustains it. It lifts the mind of man above the sordid things of life. His spirit refreshes the thirsty soul. It lights a fire on the altar of the human heart which cannot be commercialized or extinguished. The remarks were pointed, and resulted in six tolting the church. Presentations were made to the pastor, trustees, chorister, head singer and sexton by members of the order. A good collection was raised. This Sunday being Palm Sunday, appropriate services were served and palms distributed. The pastor will preach both at the morning and evening services. Communion will be celebrated at 3 p. m.

BIG DAY IN RICHMOND. Citizens of Virginia's Capitol Celebrate Their Emancipation on Anniversary of the Fall of Richmond—E. H. Hunter, Orator. Special to The New York Age. Richmond, Va., April 3.—The fall of Richmond, which was on the 3rd of April, 1865, is the day the colored people of this city observe as their Emancipation Day. The orator of today's occasion was Rev. E. H. Hunter, L.L.M. who resigned a lucrative government position to enter the army and of course the Stormy War. A M. E. Church, this city He eloquently and comprehensively discussed the obligation of citizenship, and, in part, said 'The obligations of citizenship require recognition of the fact that the benefits of citizenship fix propositions and establish his authority and selfish when they try to escape the burden of responsibility which attaches to the superior position attained through wealth, position or influence. The special gifts and graces, favors and accumulations of the property are the necessary to be used for the common good and not to be squandered in idle pleasures, vain conceits, avaricious schemes and miserly efforts for future protection. The good citizen believes in the doctrine of 'All men up in arm down'. The obligations of citizenship therefore call for us to 'lift us, we climb': Atlantic City Notes Atlantic City, N. J.

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to The New York Age. New York City needs a moral awakening. It needs more than that. It needs a moral cleansing, and it needs it to-day. While the work ought to begin at the Battery and march straight to the Bronx, The Age is interested in those sections of the city where colored people live in large numbers. We don't scent danger, but we see it everywhere, and we purpose to do what we can in our own way to arouse the people, if the people can be aroused. Months ago we called on the pulpit and the pew to first clean up the Amen corner and the shouting aisle, and then come out to tackle the dens of vice and crime that flourish here like a dozen green bay trees, that are sapping the life out of young men and women, and distinguishing the city for things in which we can well afford not to be distinquished. We expect no help from the "upper ten," as they call themselves, for they themselves are in need of a moral regeneration. They need to be taught the true significance of decency and emancipated from the slavish crimes of idleness, which carry in its lists late hours, the debauchery of the thoughts of young women, wine drinking and sette gambling. To other forces we must appeal to battle against the immoral standards that are set as the correct signs of this city. We must look to the good, quiet, decent element in our churches and homes, that constitutes the true backbone of the real social structure of the community. It is their battle and they must help bear it. It is the preachers' battle and they must help bear it. It is the business man's battle and he must help bear it. The fighting begins now, to-day. Street-walking women and the animals that live upon their dirty money and boldly loaf in the path of good people, must go. "Buffet flats," thrones of lewdness and castles of drunkenness must go. And decent people who harbor low characters and sustain their crimes, they must also go. Those who defend by association and protect by social contact the vicious woman or the brazen pimp, they must step aside from their eminence as social leaders, and take their places with their kind. We have too much of that kind of thing in New York. Too many men are idle, and too many women are living low lives. Too many churches are filled with too many "members" whose idea of religion is to serve for lives of immorality by putting on plate In sects where people ought to feel at peace, there they and the greatest shame. On the streets where they ought to demand the readiest protection, there they and eager result. The influence of the low standards of morality is piercing the vitals of our society. Young women are no longer modest and young men no longer flat. The "buffet flat" is not only hard by the homes and houses of people who strive to live decent lives and rear their children with correct notions of cleanliness, but they become dens into which young girls in the bloom of life and young men in the prime of promise are lured and robbed of all that makes true womanhood and builds a sturdy manhood. Real estate dealers among us have nobly emancipated their people and made places for them to live, but they are fearfully careless of the reputation of neighborhoods and the good name of property. Property must pay, of course, but property must not pay at the cost of the blood of the people and the strength of the race. Take Harlem. What could be made the ideal city of law and frugal in industrious, decent Negroes, is infested by the dance-hall harlot and the drumond decked lover. What shall we repose in ease and let this sect be conquered entirely by the shameless army of men and women that lord it over decency and contempt at will those that seek a higher life? Not if THE Age can help it. Information reaches us that one of the notorious sporting house keepers in this city, whose houses are already places of shame, seeks to lease a beautiful private house in a recently acquired block in Harlem for "hotel" purposes. The shame of it! The source of our information allows us no room for doubt This life-sapper we warn now, and we warn him in all sincerity. If he takes that house, we will take him to Whitman. The complexities of our population and the physical condition of the city permit no segregation of the lewd, but the lewd shall be made to respect some CLEAN 'EM OUT. --- We seek no unnecessary struggle. We seek no fame. We seek no title of reformer, but we do set our sign against the effrontery of vice and the insolence of crime. The church and the professional and business men of New York we invite to our standard, to help in crushing the serpent now crawling above the hearts of our young women and men. These forces may respond, or they may remain silent and grasp the gold that brikes the soul, but, alone or aided, we purpose to carry the war into the enemy's camp, and we purpose to win! The harlot must go. The pimp must remain in his sphere, and the society that shields the criminal or indulges the crime must be shaken to its base. A CHIEF CITY For the New York Independent, first of American weeklies, Booker T. Washington has written a story of the progress of the colored people of the city of Durham, N.C. Mr. Washington writes of what he saw, not of what he heard or read in "reports" He got to Durham in the course of a tour of North Carolina "In one town on my way," he writes, "I had actual roses strewn in my path, but here, if all I saw and heard was genuine, were the real roses I had been seeking now for more than thirty years." Mr Washington found in Durham the largest Negro insurance company in the world. Its assets overreach $100,000 Every kind of business flourishes among the colored people. Among the factories are the Durham Textile Company, the Whitted Wood Working Company, and Union Iron Works Company. Negro contractors and tradesmen not only have as much as they can do, but are unable to do all the work that comes to them. The two big brick-yard owners are colored men, R. E Clegg and R B Fitzgerald. Mr. Fitzgerald is perhaps the wealthiest colored man in the State, and has always been a great source of pride and help to his people, whom he has neither shunned nor forgotten The bank controlled by colored men is among the best banking institutions in the State. It has resources of almost half a million dollars. The property holdings of the colored people in the city amounts to $1,000,000. The Lincoln Hospital, in every respect a thorough institution, was given to the colored people by Washington Duke, the famous tobacco manufacturer. The labor situation is excellent. Mr Washington found more carpenters, brickmasons, plasterers, blacksmiths and wheelwrights among the colored men of Durham than he has before encountered in his wide travels. He found more men at work than he had seen before. Gen. Julian Carr's hosiery mills employ 200 colored men and women. But it is Duke's famous to baco factory in which colored laborers are employed in great numbers. Regularly employed are 1,548 colored people, who draw wages amounting to $440,000 a year. Mr Washington reports that this company employs more colored laborers than any other establishment in Durham. THE A will be grateful for information regarding any firm anywhere that employs a larger number of colored peo Not only is the stranger impressed with the simple elegance of the homes of the well-to-do colored people of Durham the thriftiness of the population the finish of their churches and good order and efficiency of their schools, but also with the cleanliness of the homes and surroundings of the poorer classes "I saw no dead dogs or cats writes Mr. Washington Rather "neat cottages, * * * well for children in clean yards." The careers of the leading characters in Durham's march of triumph are not without interest. R B Fitzgerald has been making brick for thirty years. His plant is valued at $17,000. He turns out 30,000 brick a day, owns 100 acres of land inside the corporate limits of Durham and has $50,000 worth of real estate. John Merrick, recognized, Mr Washington says, as Durham's leading colored citizen, began his first business on money borrowed from Gen. Juban S. Carr. He is the founder of a secret society and also of the North Carolina Mutual, the largest of Negro insurance companies. Mr Merrick collects $550 in rent each month. C C. Chulling, Dr. A M. Moore and Dr. D F. Shepard are also moving spirits in the life of Durham. Mr Washington unfortunately overlooked the fine work that Prof W G. Pearson has done for the public schools of Durham, and the able support given every effort by the Durham Reformer, a first class newspaper. What is back of this wonderful pro-gress. Dr. Washington easily saw the efforts of the colored people were met not in hostility but in sympathy by the best of the whites of Durham, who wisely saw that Durham would be a fairer and more prosperous city with all its citizens going up together THE NEW YORK AGE THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1911 --- than with a part of the population going down while the other part was going in another direction. Just a few miles away is Wilmington, scene of the awful massacre of 1898. There neither white nor black is making progress, nor does either know how the other lives. The beautiful friendship of the Dukes and the genuine interest of Gen. Carr, together with the attitude of the powerful press of Durham and the bearing of the population towards their colored neighbors have inspired these people to throw aside every shackle and achieve much not only for themselves but for their city and their State. If other Southern cities should yield now, since they must at some time yield, to the spirit of brotherhood and the demands of Progress, and join with their colored inhabitants in their struggle to rise, there would come such achievements as would astound the cheerest friend we now may claim. Mr Washington made inquiry into the inner spirit of this chief city His answer he got from white reader than from black: Iasked what was the general spirit existing between the two races. Of all the Southern cities I had visited I found here the sameest attitude of the white people toward the black Disabused long ago of the "social equality" bughair, the white people, and the best ones, too, never feared to go into the other world to gather and never feared to aid them in securing an education or any kind of improvement Durham is a chief city, and its people are among the chosen of the continent The strength of its strong men is a constant delight, and the faith of its women brings joy Booker T Washington is a sleepless reporter, one of the greatest journalists of his time, but he never "covered" a field more effectively than the field of Durham, whose colored population is worth going miles to see. SENATOR O'GORMAN Tammany Hall triumphs. Charles F Murphy triumphs The Irish triumph, and the Republican party triumphs James A. O'Gorman will make a creditable United States Senator. He may make more than that, his place may be far in front after a year's service Nor will his close affiliation with Tammany Hall detract from his usefulness or dignity. All of the able Democrats in this town are in Tammany Hall, which is nothing more nor less than the county organization of one of the big parties. Senator O'Gorman has distinguished himself as a judge. But a successful judge may make a poor Senator. He has a large family, and bears a respectable name in the community. He is a loyal Catholic and a fighting Irishman Sky-rocketing as usual, the World says "Justice O'Gorman did not go to Murphy; Murphy had to go to him, and a man elected to the United States Senate in such circumstances is the master of his own political destiny. No one doubts that Senator O'Gorman will be his own master, but those who know him best say that he is all man. He will, therefore, allow no soft-swing as the World undulates to turn him against his organization, nor against Charles F. Murphy, the leader of his organization. Nor will the Senator forget when the occasion arises that in his constituency are many colored men who are loyal supporters of the forces that sent him to the Senate SOUTH IN THE SADDLE The South is in the saddle, and it is tough riding for the Democratic party. If my one has doubted that the Democratic party is a sectional party, let him note how the Southern minority has gobbled up every important committee chairmanship in the 62d Congress, and how unmercifully they have stripped of all power and appearance the Eastern and Western States to which the party is indebted for the temporary enjoyment of ascendency. The South takes forty out of forty- six chairships. Texas takes seven and Alabama five. The few chairmanships allotted to the North are unimportant, while every important committee, excepting the Committee on Appropriations, whose chairman will be Fitzgerald, New York, will have So loyal and able a Northern Democrat as William Sulzer, of New York, was pushed off the Military Affairs Committee, upon which he was the ranking Democratic member, and given the chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Now the House Committee on Foreign Af- fair has about as much to do as a necrology committee in a Campbellite church. The Democratic party in the nation is a sectional party; it is a Southern party; it is a Southern white man's party, and its power is gone by stealing and shot-gun play at the ballot box. In the Democratic party there is no more room or welcome for the Northern white man than there is for the colored man of any section. Next year will see the nation's party—the Republican party—put back into power by the people. Northern statesmen already know what it is to be disfranchised by a Southern Democracy. Without disfranchising somebody somewhere, somehow, the Democratic party would die Announcement is made that President Taft withdrew the Ninth Cavalry from San Antonio, Tex, fearing a repetition of the Brownsville affair, because the soldiers resented being Jim Crowed Bully for the soldiers. We counsel no violence, but shame on a government that would stand by and see those who wear its uniforms and are willing to die for it Jim Crowed because they are not of a certain color. President Taft may know what he is doing, but Tue Aug knows that this is poor business. Jim Tillman, nephew and apple of the eye of Ben Tillman, and a famous murderer, who bravely shot down an unarmed and unauspecting gentleman, died the other day an outcast and a pauper. He turned preacher, and God cursed him for his hypocrity. Many men preach, but a murderer must not lift his hand Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of the public schools of the District of Columbia, holds on to his salary in first-class shape, since he is fired every week (Genius. (Augustus Thomas, the playwright, received a vote for United States Senator at Albany the other day.) Why not make Thomas Senator? We all admire his plays; And there are others whom we might to public station raise. When William Taft is fain to drop the reins of government Let Lorado Taft, the sculptor, have a term as President!

Mary Church Terrell has been delivering lectures in and around Boston for more than a week, and on every hand this gifted woman has been cordially received. There is some talk of the candidacy of Dr. C. V. Roman, a well-known Nashville practitioner for the editorship of the A M F. Church Review, of which H. T. Kegling has been the editor for a number of years. Crisp Field Adams Assistant Register of the U.S. Treasury, has held that position longer than any deceasor.

Washington in New York City last week by a white man named in and a woman named in and a woman named in and brought down severe condemnation upon his assailant. There was absolutely no provocation for the assault and only excuse was that some officers in the city pictously around the premises where Dr. Washington had gone on business and he was mistaken for this individual The man who made the assault was arrested and unsecured Dr. Washington's proverbial generosity saves him he will be punished. Dr. Washington received a pension and treatment and is now filling his engagement. The tumultate affair has brought out the fact that the great masses of the people have unbounded confidence in the integrity and moral worth of Dr. Washington. He has been to his conduct and at once tendered their sympathy and confidence. The words of sympathy and commendation came not only from the lowly and middle classes but from the most prominent members of the esteem in which he is held by the people.—Louisville American Baptist. Not the Slightest Wrong. Of course Dr Washington is not guilty of the slightest wrong doing in the white affair and happily for him and his race he has lived for more than half a century a life unspotted from the world. Mr Washington's policy of carefulness would vindicate him, to say nothing of his Christian character, and to place in the eye of the public. He is therefore exceedingly careful not only as to what he does but what he says. No one who has engaged him in a conversation but knows that he weighs every word before he speaks. He is the most careful man in this regard and his guard. This rule has become his second nature and accounts for his unbounded success. It will be of interest to our readers to know that representatives of our church were the first to inform the Tuskegee people by long distance phone the unfortunate affair and offer assistance by Dr Booker T. Washington at New York expressing "confidence and sympathy" was signed by I G Penn, J W E Bowen, C J. Jacobs, W W Lucas, M W Dogan, J P Wreng, A Rush and R E Jones. A person and attitude of our great church. That attitude is affirmed - Southwestern Christian Advocate (M E) Truthful Upon Its Face We remember that long years ago a certain kling prayed to be delivered from his friends. It seems to us to be a good time for our good friend, Booker Washington to offer just such a prayer. Washington which happened a Proof Washington of Northern cities was no unusual thing, his explanation as to his presence at the place where he was assaulted, has upon its face the truth. There is no need of further explaining by Mr Washington's friends. They would be more likely to do harm than good, more apt to harm than to be heil him. Mr Washington will outwit the incident and it will pass out—Georgia baptist. Reaffirm Confidence The Star of Zion reaffirms its confidence in Dr Booker T. Washington and units with the press of the race in denouncing the bruta' assault. While doing this we cannot refrain from remarking that what is needed North and South is a higher value upon the life and character of a Negro as a man, he be Dr. Washington or Jim Jones. Here is a striking refutation of fallacy that a decent and orderly Negro can believe in the goodness of a Negro is discriminated against because he is Negro, so long all Negroes may keep on the lookout for the hoodlums who lie in wait to molest them.—Star of Zion (A. M. E. Z.) Still the Poorless Leader The American people were greatly shocked and stunned when the news was flashed over the country that Dr. Booker T. Washington, the peerless leader of his race, had been brutally attacked by a mob, standing the effort on the part of yellow journalism to use the unfortunate affair to ruin the usefulness of this great man and destroy his influence, his friends and they are legion, came him until truth could not be stood up and sober judgment could voice a decision. No reasonable mind that knew Mr. Washington could be made to believe the vicious statement which was broking the assault. Mr. Washington was therefore profiled himself every inch a gentleman, a man of the highest ideals and character, and because of this confidence so universally sustained, Mr. Washington took his exiled station as the peerless leader of his people—Raleigh Artist Sentel. Clean and Irreproachable. Dr Washington's life has been so clean, so irreproachable, so big and inspiring with practical usefulness, that any attempt to make capital of this episode in which he figures as the result of an assault by a hare-brained man will not be sufficient to impit of all fair-minded men that it will richly deserve. The most credent ear will not allow itself to be abused by any effort to associate Dr Washington's presence in the locality where he was assailed with some sinister or discreditable motive. Murkowski, a posterous, and died a morning—that's all. Union Review. Organ National Convention. NOTE AND COMMENT The evil influence of Henry L. Johnson and B J Davis in the politics of Georgia, out of which by joining hands with unscrupulous white men, they pushed all decent colored men, defeating Judson W Lyons for membership in the Republican National Committee, is set forth at length by the discerning Charleston (W Va) Henry L. Johnson and B J Davis disdicted and fought Na. T. Johnson in Judson W Lyons. Norris and opened the cause of Union law for trouble which were not then apparent. In the course of斗争 in the struggle of Judson W Lyons and Roderer Judson whom and Davis the sales of food was supplanted as collector of internal revenue by a white man. Everything was lovely and the goose Pat Johnson and Davies are getting something now that they did not expect. The idol that they erected on a federal and worshiped has clay feet. Blun, whom they made National Committeeman, over the protests of the leaders of the party in their State, has drawn the color line and allied himself with the "Lilly Whitee." Johnson and Davies, with whom he was on the closest terms of intimacy before he got what he wanted, are now forgotten. And thus history repeats itself and the Advocate's prophecy is fulfilled. At the time it happened this paper predicted that those Negroes responsible for the overthrow of one of their kind and elevation of Mr. Blun would some day regret their part in the affair. Then, when the "Lily White" idea was beginning to assume large proportions, The Advocate warned the race against allying itself with any force hostile to its participation in politics. We did not see the wisdom of removing the only Negro on the National Committee, and we expressed strong outrage at the fact of Lyons and the fight on Rucker for what does it profit us to help oust Negroes from places of honor or profit, or both? Surely we have not so many that we can afford to sacrifice them to the prejudice of others. And it certainly can not be said that any white man would guard more than his interest of the blacks than Mr. Lyons did. There is but little comfort to be derived from the fulfillment of the prediction in this instance. But Mr Blun's deflection points a moral and teaches a lesson—self aggrandizement does not justify betrayal of the race or any of its members. The Vicksburg Light may be little, but it is often very loud. Its editor, William H Rogers, is a quaint philosopher whose words are never sand-papered. Recently the Light went for the excursion Negro in fine fashion. His sermon ought to be preached from every Southern pulpit, for the excursion habit among Southern colored people is one of the worst habits that retard their progress The poor colored man and the gadabout Negro woman should "go slow" on the excursion this year. Suppose we "cut out" the excursion altogether. Times are tight, and we need the little money we need to meet our expenses. The Light respectfully urges Negro pastors, preachers and race leaders to use their influence to keep the Negroes from wasting their money on excursions. Many Negroes borrow money from the money goods) simply to ride on an excursion and have a "big time" for two or three days. They come home and it takes many of them a year or more of hard work to pay the money lender back for the money borrowed for two or three days. Again we say let us "cut out" the excursion, save our money, pay our debts, educate our children, buy homes, start dry goods stores, shoe stores and other business enterprises like the white people. We have not the item or the money to buy a suit or cut them out." Not until we do can we look for the sunlight of prosperity and happiness. The preacher-politician is happily losing ground among thoughtful and respectful colored people. A preacher dabbling around in politics looks almost as well as a politician preaching in the pulpit. A politician to his ward, and a preacher to his text, let that be the cry, says the Mississippi Odd Fellow: Unless some moral issue is at hand, it has been the conviction of the writer that no preacher has a right to dabble in politics. In recent years politics have attracted some of our preachers more so than religion and therefore they have almost turned down the church and now concentrate all their hard work on dabbling in some office seeker. He even heads political leagues, and gives three-fourths of his time pushing the claims of his party rather than giving this time to God and the saving of wicked men and women. No preacher however great his literary attributions may be, he should be to high office in our churches if he has a disposition to dabble in politics. These political preachers have proven to be detrimental to the church with which they are connected, because by them, politics have been even carried into the church, and is the leading topic for discussion wherever they are in evidence. We need preachers in this day and generation to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is a sufficient number of men of the race in other vocations to take care of the political end. Tuskegee Institute is arranging to conduct a summer school for teachers during the month of June. It is announced that the Legislature of Kansas at the recent session appropriated $105,000 for Western University. This is $35,000 more than the school got last year. Recently H T Kealing, a distinguished editor, was elected president of the university to succeed W. T Vernon, a former Register of the United States Treasury Ira T Bryant, of Nashville, Tenn. Secretary of the Sunday School Union of the A. M. E. Church, announces his candidate for the business management of the A. M. E. Book Concern. He ought to be elected. He has made the department now under his control a pay- ing business, and his church needs all the practical business men it can get. Bishop G. W. Clinton, one of the act- tors of the United States School Uni- sity of the A. M. E. Church has been appointed to the president of the late national Lighthouse on the Journe- land Fund Western Christian Re- order. What is the Reorder talking about? When did the President of the United States get the power to follo- wances on that board, and when was the appo- ment made? How many of the readers of The Age have sent a book to the Mound Bayou, Miss, public library? Let us give this Negro town a library in the name of all the people. And some of the books sent there, let them have in them something good about the Negro. The boys and girls know the other side. Mr Taft has appointed W. L. Fisher to succeed Richard A. Ballinger as Secretary of the Interior. We know noth- ing of him, save that he was mixed up in Mayor Duane's traction fight in Chicago several years ago. He may be a Republican; we don't know, but he is from Chicago, and the other Chicago members of the cabinet are Democrats. W. W. Catlin versifies in the Chicago Public thusly: If Christ should come on earth to-day, I doubt if he'd approve the way Them Christians, each with ship and gun, Prepare to kill each other one. If He should come Mr. Catlin ought to take to the woods for perplexing that kind of poetry on good people. THE GREATEST JURIST John Marshal Harlan, the Best Loved of Supreme Court Justices, Called the Greatest Interpreter of the Constitution. (From Munsey's Magazine) For more than thirty years Justice Harlan has sat on the Supreme Court bench, and during most of that time he has been its most picturesque figure. He has outlived and outserved two of his greatest and tenacious justices, and to-day, at the age of seventy-seven, he is still erect, stalwart, and a power in the judiciary. With the possible exception of Justice Hughes, he is the best known of all the judges; certainly he is the best loved. This giant of a man is a link with mighty history, for his career almost swings back to the days of Clay and Webster. He grew up among those great Kentuckians who made their fortune for who he himself ran twice for Governor of the commonwealth. He is a sort of living, breathing, dominating incarnation of pure Americanism, an inspired apostle of law, morality and order. If he goes to bed at night with the Bible hand and the Constitution in the other Despite his burden of years, there is no more impressive figure in our national service. His full seventy-three inches of commanding body; his gray eagle of a face, surmounted by a massive claw, and his enormous voice, which has the ring of a decepted bell, all combine in a compelling and unforgettable presence. Justice Harlan's opinions are expressed with great eloquence and force and with profound knowledge of the law. He is regarded by many people as being the greatest living interpreter of the Constitution. Like the great John Jay, his name he bears, he brooks no interference in the national authority. He has refused to concur with the majority of the court in so many famous cases that he may well be called the Great Discensor. As you sit by the wood fire ***** and smoke stogies with the venerable judge—he prefers them to the finest care—he mask in the mellowing light of full life. You seem to hear the voice of another man he belongs to a vanishing race of statesmen-furists. In Praise of Taft To the Editor of The New York Age Permit me as an humble worker in the field of rural education to endors the splendid defense of President Taft which recently appeared in your far- reaching newsletters, and to doubt in the mind of any intelligent Negro as to the President's attitude toward the race. Who can gauge the attitude of a chief executive toward our people by the elevation of Negroes to office? It is not a question of the leaders or select few going higher but that of the enlightenment that may come to a full realization of their opportunities and responsibilities as American citizens. Let our editors, preachers and lawyers pause for a moment and think who must support them. Shall the industrial classes be neglected in the wild rush for political honors? Mr Taft is doing a noble work when he invites the universities for the bulk of our people in the south. As an educational institution the one-room country school exerts more real and lasting influence than all the high schools, colleges and universities taken together. Be patient, calm and await the decision of our good President. GUEST H. C. WILLIAMS, Supervisor Colored Schools of Wicomico County An Authority. (Mound Bayou (Miss.)

January 17, 1911 THE UNION TRUST COMPANY 715-717, 719 GRESTNUT STREET PAY TO THE ORDER OF Uncumbered and pincety 85/100 DOLLARS. $190 85/100 Grand Secretary Copy of Check Showing Settlement of Order of Odd Fellows with J. C. Asbury, as Editor of Odd Fellows' Journal, According to Auditor's Report Made in Court. FACTS ABOUT ODD FELLOWS' JOURNAL (at used from page 1) this agreement has been forwarded the first THE AGE for inspection A registered accountant was appointed by agreement of the counsel in the case and he reported that he found Mr Ashbury's accounts correct and that the order owed Mr Asbury $190 85 The auditor's report has also been forwarded to THE AGE Investigation Showed Order Owed Asbury. It may be stated as a matter of fact also that during the fourteen years of Mr. Ashbury's term of office an error or one penny was never found in his accounts or cash, and this despite the fact that for four years Will Huston audited them semi-annually. The best evidence of the fact that the auditor found that the order owed J C. Ashbury $190 85 is the check for the payment of the same which is reproduced in this week's issue of THE AGE. It is known that H P Slaughter, the present editor of the Journal has told the S C. M that he could not run an eight-page paper on the receipts of the office and could not understand how Editor Ashbury did so well, that he has drawn much money in advance upon work that is yet to be done, and that he wrote an article for Ben Davis' special edition of the Independent which was not published (it is presumed) on account of its fairness to his predecessor. It is believed that the Journal was taken to Washington because Henry Lincoln Johnson, who is making the nation laugh in his attempt at race leadership, wanted an organ and wanted further to impress the President that he and Ben Davis carried the votes of the members of the G. U. O. of O F in their vest pockets. It is believed that his grandstand play of taking Morris, Houston, et al., to the White House was but an attempt to put an evidence exhibit "A" of his ability to deliver the order whenever he should see fit. Ben Davis has given the Journal two years to live; of course he would like to kill it so that he could make the Independent the official organ of the order A PRIZE-WINNING COMPANY Crack New Haven Military Company Takes Trophy in Rifle Practice Contest Regular Correspondence of the AQR New Haven, Cornell, April 5 — The State of Connecticut is now issuing two prizes for excellence at rifle practice, one going to the company of either regiment making the highest score during the season and the other going to the attached organization of the Connecticut National Guard making the best score.

JOHNSON. apr 23-8m Proprietors ADVERTISE IN THE AGE --- --- EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON CHANGE OF POLICY AT THE CRESCENT COMMENCING Monday afternoon, April 10, the reserved seat system will be introduced at the Crescent Theatre. The new seating arrangements very likely will be hailed with delight by patrons of the house, many of whom have been inconvenienced in the past by being unable to secure accommodations when desired. of the opinion that when the reserve seat system becomes operative their patrons will be pleased to take advantage of the opportunity afforded to secure their seats in advance. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE. HIS HONOR, THE BARBER CO—Howard Theatre, Washington, D.C. Next week, Washington. BLACK PATRIOT CO—Atlantic City, N.J. April 6; Vineland, J.; Chester, Pa., Next week, Baltimore, Md. No more will any person be permitted to occupy a seat throughout the entire evening and witness from two to three shows for one price of admission, while an anxious and restless throng clamors for admittance from without; no more will some find the little Harlem playhouse a haven of refuge from the refractory elements for hours at a time on a damp, cheerless evening There is to be a new order of things. Although the Crescent Theatre has been in existence but little over a year, it has gained the reputation of being one of the leading motion picture houses in Greater New York, where thousands of similar theatres thrive. Located on West 133th street, between Fifth and Lenox avenues, in the heart of the colored residential district, the house has enjoyed a big business ever since the opening of its doors, and bids fair to rival some of the theatres in the vicinity of 123th street in the near future. Messrs. Johnson and Fluegelman have SEATS SOLD OUT AMOS SEATS SOLD AM05 THE OLD ORDER OF THINGS not done any more business at the Crescent Theatre for the simple reason that the size of the house would not permit the assemblage of more people. The seating capacity of the house is inadequate to supply the great demands made nightly. While there is some talk of making extensive alterations in order to provide the theatregoers with better accommodations, the management is seeking to give temporary relief until the plans for rebuilding become effective. In the meantime Messrs. Johnson and Fluegelman announce that the following policy will be inaugurated, commencing next week: At matinees all orchestra seats will be sold for ten cents and all box seats for twenty cents. In the evening one hundred of the center aisle seats in the orchestra will be sold for fifteen cents and the remainder for ten cents. The price of all box seats will be twenty-five cents. The management has made a very wise move in deciding to give four shows a day instead of five. This change should have been made long ago. Two shows in the afternoon and two in the evening are enough; and then, too, the theatre can secure a larger number of meritorious acts that have been averse to playing at the Crescent because of the number of shows. Following is the new schedule for shows: First show, 2.30 p. m.; second show, 4.15 p. m. House will close from 6 to 7.30, opening at 7.30 with pictures. First evening show will begin at 8 o'clock; second show at 9.45 On Sundays and holidays evening shows will begin at 7, 8.30 and 10 o'clock, three shows being given in the evening. As the reserved seat system will be in effect, patrons can secure seats eight days in advance upon applying at the box office. This welcomed arrangement will do away with the present method, which makes it necessary for one to remain outside of the theatre for sometimes an hour. The new system to be in force next week will make it possible for you to purchase a ticket for a seat on Monday for Saturday's show, your ticket to designate just what performance you attend. However, when the specified show is over you will have to get up and give the next ticket-holder your seat A few weeks ago the city authorities notified all the theatres in Greater New York that in the future no standees would be allowed. This order was received by managers and thetheatreregents with disfavor. The Crescent Theatre management and patrons were no exception to the rule. Since the order was promulgated those patronizing the Crescent Theatre have been put to a great disadvantage. As the recent ruling does not permit standing room, hundreds are compelled to stand in line each evening, sometimes when the weather is exceedingly inclement, and wait quite a while before they are permitted to enter. Messra. Johnson and Fluegelman are of the opinion that when the reserved seat system becomes operative their patrons will be pleased to take advantage of the opportunity afforded to secure their seats in advance.

CRESCENT THEATRE There were four acts on the bill at the Crescent Theatre the first part of the week. Pennell and Holden repeated their former success in dancing and songs.

The deceased was a member of Naomi Court of Calanthe, three children, an uncle and aunt. She buried from Bethesda Church. Rev. King, of Yonkers, officiated. It was by far the largest funeral ever witnessed in the city of New Rochelle. Standing room was not to be had, and ere the services had begun the usher们 were compelled to lock the door. It is said that the room was not to be strained. It would not be a bad idea for the officials to have the building inspected.

V., April 5-Miss Rosa Vassar and Miss Pauline A. Ray, the young colored women who have provoked a race issue at Cornell among the co-eds, due to their efforts to secure rooms in Sage College, have issued a statement denying that they are seeking social equality. They declare that it is immaterial to them whether they meet the white girls on the same social plane or not. Miss Vassar, whose home is in Lynchburg, Va., is a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. Miss Ray, who comes from Geneva, N. Y., is a sophomore in the same college. Both are good students. In their statement they deny that they have consulted with any other Negro student or taken any advice as to their course of action and are not trying to force the race question to an issue. They say that the first application to have rooms assigned to them in Sage College was made over a year ago. At that time Mrs. Gertrude A. Martin, the adviser of women of the university and the general supervisor of the co-eds, told them that she had taken the matter up from him and that he was the owner of the university, and they had decided that it would not be expedient to have the girls room in Sage College, which is the only woman's dormitory. The girls put in another application some time ago. They were moved to do so because they wanted to live nearer and in a more convenient place. The rooms they are occupying now are about a mile and a half from the university. It is understood that if they could not get rooms in the Sage dormitory they would not be able to get near the campus, as it would be hard to find accommodations in the nearby rooming houses. "We are not seeking social equality," they said. "We would live in Sage College; as far as experience and comfort we would be as one with the rest of the girls, but in all things social we would be as separate two fingers on one hand. We leave it to the trustees and believe they will give us justice, but we know that Henry W. Sage would give us justice were he alive." Henry W. Sage gave Sage College to the university. The trustees will meet here within a week or so and they will have to decide this question, as a petition protesting against allowing the two girls to room in Sage College has been filed with them. The petition has been signed by over 200 co-eds, a majority of the number in the university. OBJECTED TO "JIM CROWISM" New President Taft Has Sent Ninth Cavalry Out of San Antonio—Soldiers Resented Efforts of Street Car Conductors to Humiliate Them. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Washington, April 4—President Taft Monday decided upon the prompt removal of the Ninth Cavalry from the division camp at San Antonio in order to avert the possibility of a repetition of the affair of the Twenty-fifth Infantry at Brownsville in 1906. Representative Garner of Texas, laid before Mr. Taft the details of recent disturbances caused by troopers of the Ninth Cavalry, who resented the efforts of street car conductors to enforce the regulations of the City Council and require them to sit in seats in street cars provided for Negroes. All the street cars in San Antonio are of the "Jim Crow" type, and the colored soldiers have several times torn down the signs in the cars designating seats for white and colored passengers. When remonstrated with, in two instances they have set upon conductors and beaten them severely. The disturbances became so aggravated that the Mayor of San Antonio went to Ma. r Macomb, who commands the regiment, laid the facts before him, and demanded that the colored troopers be required to obey the laws so long as they remained in the city. The President, after hearing the complaints, sent for Major Gen Wood, chief of staff, and directed that orders issue to relieve the Ninth from further service in the divisional brigade of cavalry at San Antonio, and send the regiment to duty patrolling the Mexican border as far out in the desert as possible and necessarily away from cities and towns where they might have opportunity to make trouble with the citizens of the country.
