VOL. XXV. No. 17. CROWNING OF KING AND QUEEN New Star Casino Scene of Early Morning Coronation Exercises SPECTACULAR AFFAIR Chas. C. Allison, Jr., and Odessa Warren-Grey Win in Contest for Regal Honors* DRILL AND DANCE PROGRAM Shirin Neighborhood Club Given Unique Entertainment. Names of Some of the Participants. Early last Saturday morning when the clock was striking the hour of 1 a.m. at the New Star Casino-107th street and Lexington avenue, a new king and queen were born to New York, and the scenes attending the coronation exercises were marked by pomp and splendor. At that hour Charles C. Allison, Jr., was crowned king and Mrs. Odessa Warren-Grey CHAS. C. ALLISON, JR. was invested with the royal headgear which proclaimed her queen. Looking on at the coronation exercises were hundreds of spectators who applauded heartily and showed deference to the regal party the same as do all loyal subjects, while the king and queen marched through the hall to the stage, attended by a retinue of guards, pages, flower girls and Turkish dancing girls, to the strains of "Smyrna", played by the New Amsterdam Band under the direction of H. Wylie. The coronation exercises started when the band struck up the "Clef Club March," and the drill girls were announced by William H. Vaughn. Next came the guards, the Turkish dancing girls and the flower girls, and the cheering was at its height when the king and queen appeared, followed by their pages. "Queen Odessa," tall and graceful, looked queenly as she wended her way to the throne, while "King Charles," although not coming to the general idea existing in this country as to the height of a king, made up in dignity what he lacked in inches. After the crowning of the king and queen on the stage they sat on the throne while the Turkish dancing girls entertained loyalty by indulging in the terpsichorean art, which was quite creditable, and which ended the coronation exercises. The program was arranged by Mrs. A. S. Reed, and the dances and drills were staged by Jesse A. Shipp. Those participating in the exercises were Edith Smith, Sophie Smith, Margaret Thomas, Marie Thomas, Dora Jackson, Ardele Taylor, Lena Tyers and Carrie Scheper, as Turkish dancing girls; Edith Davis, Aurelia Johnson, May Jones, Oleita Smith, Marguerite Dudley, Irene Parker, Ethel Jenkins, Oleia Dooley, Imogene Butler, Maud Hayes, Addie Matthews, Elizabeth Butler and Madeline Allison, captain, as drill girls; Misses Adlys Littleton and Antionette Jackson as flower girls; Masters Herbert and eddy Brown, as pages; Frank Thomas, Arthur Comhier, William A. Heylier, Jr., Harry Brown, D. Stokley, Joseph Garland, Leo Noah, F. Pringle and George Lattimore, as guards. Charles C. Allison, Jr., and Mrs. Odessa Warren-Grey were crowned king and queen, respectively, having secured the highest position, where votes in a spirited contest for honors. Mr. Allison received 372 votes and Mrs. Grey 417. James Williams with 261 votes, and Miss Bessie Pike were the nearest competitors, and Dr. Travis Johnson, with 194 votes, and Miss Ethel Norwood, with 238 votes, were next. The contestants did not vote in pairs. Until the crowning of the king and queen the large crowd present danced ODESSA WARREN GREY to the music furnished by the New Amsterdam Band, and everybody appeared to have an enjoyable time. the mardi gras and, fancy dress carnival was given under the auspices of the Utopia Neighborhood Club, which has been organized to create a fund to establish a fund for delinquent colored girls.

EMPLOY NEGRO LABOR Over One Hundred Colored Union Bricklayers Employed by Big Construction Firms of New York, and from Thirty to Forty Colored Plasterers. There are over one hundred colored union bricklayers and from thirty to forty colored union plasterers in Greater New York who find no difficulty in securing employment, and who are hired by the leading construction firms of New York City. This information has just been secured by the directors of the Johnson Amusement Company, interested in the new theater in West 138th street, between Fifth and Lenox avenues. At a meeting of the board of directors of the amusement concern last week the question of employing as much colored skilled labor as possible was brought up. Some doubt was expressed as to the availability of colored mechanics, and it was agreed to make investigations. The directors thus discovered that such firms as the Sterrett-Thompson Construction Company, the Norcross brothers and the George A. Fuller Construction Company employ a large number of colored bricklayers, and that it is common for five or six bricklayers to be found employed on apartment houses. Thomas W. Gantt, 668 Third avenue, one of the colored bricklayers employed by the George Fuller Construction Company on the new Post Office building on Eighth avenue, opposite the Pennsylvania Station, says there is very little opposition to the employment of skilled colored bricklayers in Greater New York, and that a similar condition exists regarding colored plasterers. Colored mechanics are used on all the large buildings in the course of construction, and they give general satisfaction, according to Gantt, who seems to be at a loss to understand why more Negro help is not used in building churches erected by Negroes. CAIN CONVICTED. John Cain, who has been on trial in the Court of General Sessions before Judge Foster for killing two persons and wounding eight, was convicted Monday in the first degree. He was remanded for sentence. Cain ran amuck with a knife on the elevated station at Columbus avenue and 104th street on the evening of May 11, last, and in a chase on the street killed Saxon Surrell and John Hall, and wounded eight others before he was finally shot and captured by a policeman. THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1912. Thaddeus L. McDonald Maitland West Indian Dress - Not Enjoy Superior Advantage in Native Land. Special to The New York Ask BALTIMORE, Mr., Jan. 24—Thaddeus L. McDonald, a student at Morgan College, and a native of Jamaica, West Indies, has attracted more than passing attention by challenging some of the statements of Connor O'Connor De Cordova, which recently appeared in THE ART regarding conditions in the West Indies. Mr. McDonald contends that the West Indian, especially the Jamaicans, does as a whole enjoy superior advantages in his native land, and the charge is made that the color line is drawn in the West Indies between the blacks and mulattoes. Conditions as they exist in Jamaica, according to Mr. McDonald's viewpoint, are as follows: "As a Jamaican I felt very much interested in the remarks of Mr. O'Connor De Cordova, which appeared in The New York Act of January 11. The hundreds of West Indians, especially Jamaicans, who come to America yearly make their boast of the superior advantages which they have in their native land doubtful, but when we hear a white man of intellectual attainment, social status and an unblemished character speak of the Negroes in the West Indies as enjoying the rights and privileges of a man, all doubts concerning the favorable conditions under which the Negroes labor in the West Indies are likely to be removed. "The statement made by Mr. De Cordova, that in the West Indies no groes are more than all walks of life, Mr. De Cordova further makes clear what he means by the word Negro. He says: Let it be made "Negro" as it is accepted in the country and that is, I include in the term men of color, not black men only." "This acceptance of the word Negro, as it is used in America, by Mr. De Cordova should be specially noticed since the man of color is not regarded as a Negro in Jamaica. The mulattoes in Jamaica are considered a distinct people from the blacks or Negroes. This distinction between the mulattoes and blacks in Jamaica is evident in its commercial, professional and social life. If the word Negro, which designates more than three-fourths of the inhabitants of the island, was to be used in the same sense as it is used in the West Indies, the statement of Mr. De Cordova would be untrue. "While the term Negro, as it is accepted by Mr. De Cordova, has made his statement true, that Negroes in Jamaica are prominent in all walks of life, we must not feel that Jamaica is more mecca for the Negro. De Cordova and I must respect and honor as a man with true sympathies and an earnest conviction in the integrity of my race; but he has made the fatal mistake of confounding the prosperity of the few with the welfare of the many. If the recognition of a few members of one race by a few members of another race is to be taken as the standard for the relationship between the two races, then it can be said, that the Negro in the United States enjoys equal privileges with his white brother. "Mr. De Cordova has cited specific cases in which Negroes of Jamaica are highly recognized. But the same thing, or even more, can be said concerning Negroes in America. Mr. De Cordova says: 'The church has among its officials as archdeacons and rectors men of color, who are revered and respected by all classes of the community.' The same thing is true in this country. There are archdeacons, rectors and bishops—black men, too, who are revered and respected. Mr. De Cordova also speaks of a cophysician who has white patients, lawyers, who hold distinguished positions in the government and Negroes, as members of the legislative council of Jamaica. The comparison, that has been just made between the Negro clergyman in Jamaica and America is just as fitting in the cases of the Negro physician, lawyer and statesman of America as in Jamaica. Thinks De Cordova Only Gave Specialty Cases. "The gentleman has also mentioned that the Negro occupies such positions as justice of the peace, Customs Rotutveum, and member of the privy council, all of which are in the power of the governor, the chief executive of the island to bestow on those whom he thinks fit. Allow me to say here that these seeming honors that may fall to some Negroes in Jamaica are only a blind to the real conditions of the Negro in Jamaica, and in fact, it is a mere pretext to strengthen the disadvantages and injustices under which the black AMANIA, Gin. Jan. M. Bishop Evans Tyreus has been assigned to take charge of the First Episcopal District of the A. M. B. Church, succeeding the late Bishop Wesley J. Gilbert. The assignment was made after the funeral of Bishop Gaines in this city on Tuesday, January 16, when the Bishop's Council met in session expensively and after listening to the requests of pastors and general confederates, delegates that Bishop Tyreus be elected to charge of the First Episcopal District, acted in the allotment. The funeral of the late Bishop Galen also held from Michael A. M. K. Gilbert, and the service were presided over by Bishop C. S. Smith. The order of chancery. Honor, "Of God, Well Done," the Rev. H.

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE WITH THE PRESIDENT IMPORTANT CONFERENCE WITH THE PRESIDENT Colored Presidential Appointees Have Long Talk With Mr. Taft GUESTS AT WHITE HOUSE Two Evenings Last West Spent by President Hearing Complaints and Needs of the Negro. Special to THE NEW YORK AOK. Washington, D. C., Jan. 24.—For the first time in the history of Presidents, the colored Presidential appointees were invited to the White House on Wednesday evening, January 17, by President Taft, to confer with him upon those questions which most affect the race. The colored appointees themselves asked for the conference, and the President not only cheerfully, but cordially invited them to the White House. For an hour the visitors sat with Mr. Taft in his library and discussed questions important to their race. At the end of the conference the President invited the appointees to return the following evening to continue the discussion and complying with his cordial invitation they returned, and until 8 o'clock laid before, and discussed with him the complaints and needs of their race as expressed by Negroes throughout the country. In the party were Wm. H. Lewis, assistant attorney-general; Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the navy; J. C. Napier, register of the treasury; H. Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds; and Whitfield McKinlay, collector of customs here in Washington. In stating the object of their call Mr. Tyler referred to the fact that the race had no representatives in either branch of Congress, no member of the cabinet, and that their people expected them, as race representatives here, to lay before the President their complaints of discriminations and their hopes and expectations, and that they would prove recessant to their race, and fail in their duty to him as appointees if they failed to properly represent to him just how the race, fail in certain questions, which they believed heart-to-heart talk ought to prove helpful. The President was told that the most important things which concerned the race were his Southern policy bearing on Negro appointments in the South, Civil Service discriminations, courts' possible construction of the war amendments and state legislation abridging the rights and privileges of the race; and lynchings. Discussed Taft's Southern Policy. It is said that Messrs. Napier, Johnson and McKinlay, as Southern men, opened up the discussion of the Southern policy, and in a strong, earnest manner told the President how their people in the South had been, and are discriminated against because of a wrong interpretation of his policy on the part of white subordinates, and, they cited specific cases. Messrs. Lewis and Tyler, Northern appointees, is said to have advised the President just how the colored voters in the Northern States sympathized with their disfranchised brothers in the South, and in an equally strong and earnest manner made a plea for a rule applicable to all men alike without reference to race or color. Each assured the President that their understanding of his inaundredness filled offices in the South clearly did not preclude the appointment of Negroes, but that they feared subordinate officials had construed his remarks to mean that under no circumstance whatever could a Negro be appointed to or advanced in office in the South. President to Investigate Charges. In the President's reference to the oft-discussed Southern policy, it was clear, to those present, that he had never intended that such a construction should be placed upon it, and cited places in the South where Negro officials are in high favor with the whites, and whose administration of office was honest and highly intelligent. Mr. Taft gave every evidence of being deeply interested in the race, and of being really desirous of promoting its advancement in every possible way. He left his visitors to believe that his intentions are, that, when all things are equal, the color of a man's skin, nor his nationality shall not weigh against him, and it is reported, he even requested the gentlemen to submit to him specific cases of discriminations because of color, assuring them that he would cause an investigation to be made. It is said that Lewis told the President that the Southern policy, not as he believed the President meant it, but as interpreted and executed by subordinates, which positively precluded the appointment of a colored man in the South under any circumstance, could never be defended by the Negroes now or in any period; that the Negro possessed the same sentiments, feelings, hopes and ambitions possessed by his white brothers beside whom he lived; that with the intelligence possessed by the race, their material progress, it could never consent to again be a subject race. Opposed to "Jim Crow" Care. The President was clear in his opposition to lynching, and expressed a willingness to pronounce against it. On the matter of "Jim Crow" cars he gave them to understand that he had never been in sympathy with decisions upholding that iniquitous law, and he condemned all laws denying right of suffrage. With the many problems that are continually pressing upon a President for solution or action, the dispensing of patronage is always most largely a departmental matter which a President, except in cases of And. This is more true of President Taft than any previous President because he refuses to play politics in making appointments. No party of white officials was ever more cordially received, more courteously treated or more attentively listened to by any President, than were these five colored officials by President Taft. After conferring an hour with him on Wednesday evening, the fact that he invited them to return the following evening for a further discussion indicated his interest in the race's welfare, and his desire to know all and to help right wrongs, if any exist. It is said that the conferences urged the President when an occasion presented itself, to restate his Southern policy in language so clear that subordinate officials could have no possible excuse for misconstruing his meaning, and it is believed that he will do so. Thinks Race Has been Patient. The President told his visitors that the race had been very patient, and that it was surprising that they had remained patient so long. He gave them to understand that his highest aim was to assist their advancement, and to, if possible, soften any and all asperity existing between the races, without injustice to either race. The interchange of views, the perfectly frank manner with which the five Negro officials presented their people's case, it is believed, touched the President and will work for good. And President Taft has set a new and helpful precedent in calling colored Presidential appointees to the White House to learn how their people feel, and what their people want and need. The news that Messrs. Lewis, Tyler, Napier, Johnson and McKinlay had held two conferences with President Taft at the White House, on two occasions, and with President Washington talking, and the President is being warmly praised for his consideration of the race in holding such a conference. WHITE LAWYER REDUKED Censured in Open Court by Judge Geek of Greenbaba because He Referred to a Woman in Court. Sayyid Raza or Colors Not Recognized in Court. Says Judge. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. GREENSBORO, N. C., Jan. 23—Judge Cook of the Superior Court severely censured a white attorney in open court a few days ago because the lawyer referred to the colored plaintiff as a "darkey." Judge Cook informed the discourteous lawyer that in a court of law races or colors are not recognized. Among the civil cases being tried before Judge Cook in the Superior Court of the State was one in which a colored preacher, the Rev. J. W. Turner, was suing the Southern Railway Company for damages incurred while a passenger on one of the defendant's trains last spring. According to his testimony the minister was leaning out of his car window as the train was passing a flag station and was struck on the arm, which was broken by a mail pouch suspended near the track on a mail car crane. Judge Cook is regarded by the Negroes of North Carolina as a fair Christian jurist. Although a Democrat of the strictest sect, he will not permit any advantage to be taken of a Negro in a court over which he presides. BRANDS REPORT UNTRUE Chief Lee Issues Statement Denying That He Has Entered into a Deal with Wood—Says He Intends to Be Re-elected Chief. Chief Edward E. Lee, head of the United Colored Democracy, has come out in a statement that some of his political foes have caused the report to be circulated that he has been a party to a deal with Robert N. Wood, whereby he has agreed to relinquish the leadership of the organization to Wood, the consideration being his recent appointment as deputy sheriff. Chief Lee brands the report as absolutely untrue, and says he has no idea of retiring as chief. "There is nothing in the rumor that I have entered into a political deal with Robert N. Wood," declared Chief Lee to an AGE representative. In the first place, I owe my present position as deputy sheriff to but a single person—Chief Murphy of Tammany Hall. Then there is no reason for me to want to retire as chief, as all indication point to my re-election. I want it distinctly understood that I am not a quitter and whenever I make up my mind to retire as the head of the United Colored Democracy I will let the members of the executive committee and my many loyal supporters know in advance. A primary will be soon called, and the question of who is the strongest candidate for chief will be settled." Has Largest Circulation TO PUT BLAME ON U.S. GOVERNMENT Gov. Dix Soon to Act on Application of Colored Regiment Informs Governor that War Department Will Not Uniform an Additional State Regiment Provisional Regiment to March on Lincoln's Birthday and Place Wreath on Lincoln's Monument. Although Governor Dix has not made it publicly known just what he intends to do in the matter of the application received by him some weeks ago that the provisional regiment, composed of Negroes, be made a part of the National Guard of New York, word has been received by Tim Ack from a reliable source, that the Governor contemplates acting in the negative. It is said that the decision of Governor Dix will be based on the report of Adjutant General Verbeck, and that the executive will inform Col. Charles W. Fillmore of the provisional regiment, that it will be impossible at this time to make the colored military organization a part of the National Guard, owing to the statement made to Adjutant General Verbeck recently by the War Department that the Federal Government would not uniform, equip or make appropriation for an additional regiment in New York until all deficiencies in existing organizations are filled, there being no need for additional units in this arm of the service. Verbook's Encoure to Dix. The first intimation that General Dix would probably act adversely on the reelection of Adjutant General Verbeck was hot Thursday in Albany during the session of the State National Guard Association at the meeting Adjutant General Verbeck submitted his annual report in which the declaration of the War Department was made known. "This," Adjutant General Berketh said, "effectually and finally dispose of the question." While Adjutant General Verbeck was not very specific in his remarks and made no especial reference to the colored regiment, all present knew what he was talking about, and it is said that his remarks were vigorously applauded, and it was agreed on all sides that a delicate subject had been gracefully settled. Colonel Fillmore of the provisional regiment when seen by an Act representative, and was informed of Verbeck's report, was surprised to learn that the Federal Government had been brought into the matter and stated that the information was new to him that the uniforming and equipping the State militia was contingent on appropriations from the United States Government. "I never knew before that the Federal Government appropriated money for the equipment and equipping the National Guard," described Colonel Fillmore. "My understanding has been that ordinance stores were provided by the Federal Government and also that the appropriation for the support of the National Guard was allotted according to recruits. However, I have written a letter to the Secretary of War at Washington, asking him to give the members of the colored regiment further information on the subject." Without waiting for Governor Dun to act in the application now before him that the provisional regiment be made a part of the National Guard, a bill has been already introduced in the Assembly to make it a law to incorporate the colored regiment into the State militia. The bill was introduced last week by Assemblyman Dean Nelson, and it is said that the measure was given much consideration before presented, as the legislators favoring it did not want the bill declared defective in its make-up. To Parade February 12. The members of the provisional regiment are making extensive preparations to parade on Lincoln's birthday, Monday, February 12, on which occasion the colored members of the G. A. R.₃ residing in Greater New York will act as guard of honor. The marchers will assemble at Columbus Circle, Broadway and Fifty-ninth street, and march to Union Square, Fourth avenue and Fourteenth street where a wreath will be placed on Lincoln's monument. The members of the regiment will not be in uniform but will wear white gowns and badges. The officers will wear uniforms. It is thought that the appearance of the marchers on the thoroughbanks of New York City will have a possibility to crystallize additional assistance in favor of making the regiment a part of the National Guard. Dr. Ransom Says Mob Law Is Becoming Necessary. Are Largely to Blame. Specially to The New York Aok Hoston, Mass., Jan. 24.—"Lynching and American Public Opinion" was the subject of an address delivered by the Rev. Roberty C. Ransom, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York, at annual Hall, Tuesday evening, Dr. Ransom said in part: "When truth desired a hearing and liberty a voice, men have in the past looked to Faneuil Hall. These walls have articulated with the aid of the presidents of our country the prohibition of the world. No spot on earth is more sacred to the cause of freedom and justice than the ground upon which we stand. While one stone rises above another, Faneuil Hall will remain a standing witness to the ideals it has championed, Faneuil Hall doctrine has done more than any other to make this country's history recording. The acts of Faneuil Hall audiences have done more to influence American public opinion the right question than have the press. With the flight of years a great transformation has been wrought in public sentiment and the personality of the audience assembled here. In the old days the old man, the strongest man, to hear white men, representing the best heart and brain of the nation, plead for liberty and justice for the poor oppressed blacks. To-day the burden rests upon black men and women to come here and applaud, to be heard, to press, which is, for the most part, indifferent or hostile. Our appeal is for the supremacy of civilization over barbarian and savagery. We are here not in the spirit of anger but in disouragement which has abandoned hope. We are here not so much to denounce and assail, as to appeal to this nation to forsake its sins, to cast off its bloody robes of murder, to throw back into the deepest abashed pit of hell its own rightness that attains a halt. The question that confronts us is older than the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Charta, or the laws of Moses upon the earth when God behold the blood of Abel dying from the earth. On this nation conscientized to freedom, afford to face the future with the mark of Gain branded upon its breast, which is fast becoming a national crime, reaches far beyond the helpless victim who perishes horribly by the fury of the mob. The question that most vitally concerns us is not one of race but of Christianity, democracy and civilization itself. Some who object to protests of this kind tell us to make our people cease committing crimes against women, and then lynching will cease. But in eight per cent of the lynchings this crime is not "Negroes the miscellies are largely to blame for the contempt in which they are held and the impunity with which they are treated. The courts, be it indicted, Sheriff's, mayors, courts, governors will not take seriously into account the interests of a people who have lost or surmounted the right to retain their property in the box. Mobs do not quail when there is no fear that their wild brutaltites will be answered by a volley of bullets, from unwillingly, but slowly, coming to the conclusion that the only way for the Negro in particular, and the dark-skinned peoples in general, to win and hold the respect of white people is to be treated with respect and measure in all the relations of life."

Now, what will the Rigsdag do? It will be a healthy innovation to have the Presidential inauguration the last Thursday in April instead of March 4. The Inauguration Ball, the giddy thing, can then put on all of the colors of Joseph's coat, cut below the best and slit up to the hips, if necessary, without catching or being caught by Mr. Pneumonia and done up or down, as the case may be. The Supreme Court of Nebraska has issued an injunction against serving liquor of any kind in dining cars. It is against the law of the State to take a bottle of liquor upon a train and drink therefrom. That is some prohibition for you. Colonel Bryan, who lives in Nebraska, is a prohibitionist of the straightest sect, and how he can pose as the leader of the National Democratic party is one of the mysteries that drive Tammany Mae; politicians to drink . . . Not every man knows himself. Indeed, about the last thing a man studies is himself, so that when he is called upon to render his account, "to give a reason for his faith," he is unable to do it, and "is weighed in the balance and found wanting." A man walked into the West Thirty-seventh street police station Thursday of last week and asked Lieut. Sweeny: "Who am I?" The officer was dazed. "How do I know?" he asked. The map said he had forgotten who he was and had walked the streets all the evening trying to remember. At last accounts he was still trying. It would give any hunter of the Ace a start to investy one suddenly ask him. "Who am I?" The Cuban Government has been notified by the United States Government that intervention may become necessary if the Veteran Soldiers Association continue to menace the civil government and threaten the peace of Cuba. The old soldiers want to dictate who shall and who shall not hold office in Cuba. That has always been the disposition of old soldiers and of young soldiers. It is a military disease that has destroyed more liberty than mankind now possess. The chances are, and it is common belief, that if the United States have to intervene again in Cuba the Cuban will not secure another opportunity to work out an independent government of their own. It is impossible to keep the Negro down, he will go up, in all directions, by himself or along with others. Mr. Lincoln Headin looked all to the high and cool in his airship, in the fine cotton, in THE ACE, last week. We enjoyed it, the cartoon, and the story it relates, that it is impossible to keep the Negro down, and we are sure that the readers of THE ACE enjoyed it also. Wherever the white man is there also is the Negro; wherever the white man goes, to the Planet Mars or to the North Pole, there also goes the Negro. Those who imagine that the white man has a monopoly of right thinking and high doing have a microbe in their gray matter that does not belong there. So. It is impossible to keep the Negro down. And now the Chinese have taken to throwing dynamite bombs at their enemies. One was thrown at Premier Yuan Shih Kai, the chief man in the Empire on the Manchu dynasty side, recently, and much damage was done, but Kai escaped unhurt. It bodes no good to Europeans with colonies or other interests in Asia that the Orientalists have mastered the mystery of high explosives and the making and handling of the modern machinery of war. This was shown to be so in the British Boer war, in South Africa, and the Russo-Japese war in Manchuria. The Asiatics and Africans have a long standing account against the European, and the whole world will tremble when payment is demanded of them of the Cross by them of the Crescent. THE CELEBRATION IN 1913. The Star of Zion calls upon The Ace to speak out with reference to a great celebration of our Emancipation during the Semi-Centennial Year of 1913." We are glad to do this. In fact, this paper was the first to give publicity to the open letter of Prof. E. L. Blackshear of Prairie View, Texas, to Dr. Booker T. Washington, to take the lead in the movement for a national celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Negro freedom. We have given the movement our earnest support and have commended Prof. Blackshear's co-operation with Dr. Washington, Maj. Wright, Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Maj. R. R. Moton and others. It will be recalled probably by the Star of Zion that the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League considered this whole matter and reported to the Negro press a series of recommendations. A reference to our files enables us to reprint the recommendations put forth by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League. They follow. The Executive Committee, after frankly discussing all phases of the matter, unanimously came to the conclusion that in view of the short time that remained to hold a New York session such as was planned, that would reflect credit upon the race or show in any adequate way the progress which has been made by the Negro League, and that reason, the memoranda which for were unanimously adopted by the Executive Committee, and the suggestions contained therein are earnestly recommended to the consideration of the United States throughout the United States, namely: 1. In view of the fact that the Congress of the United States has thus failed to make provision as suggested by President Taft in his message to Congress for a proper celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro in the United States. In view of the further fact that should Congress now make an appropriation we fear the time would be too long to carry out a celebration in the form Therefore we, the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, advise that the race should not await the expected action of Congress, and suggest instead of the large number of exposition as first planned, that the exposition should take the following form. 2. That the third week in October, 1913, be set aside for the celebration, and be known as Fifteenth Anniversary Week. 3. That instead of a Central Exposition, the schools, churches and all other societies and organizations in each community, unite. And, cooperate for the celebration, this celebration to take the form of an exposition of the progress in commercial, professional, moral, intellectual and religious directions made by the race in that community. 4. We suggest that where it is possible these expositions be held in connection with existing county or state fair organizations. It will not be easy to change the regular date for holding such county or state fairs. 5. Wherever it seems feasible, the county or the state should be made the unit of organization for the celebration instead of the local community. 6. We advise that especial effort be made in physical exposition of a program of appropriate speeches and other literary features; the speakers to be as far as possible the strongest and best men that can be obtained, North and South. 7. We advise that wherever possible an effort be made to secure city, municipal, or state offices on the plans of the local committee. 8. We suggest that, in case money is secured from Congress, it be appropriated among the states, to be expended under the control of the governor, or some other state authority, to be used in the manner specified people residing in the different communities. 9. We believe that the plans here outlined have several advantages over the plans previously proposed. (a) It makes it possible to work his plan, preparing for the exposition and celebration suggested. (b) It will enable more people to see the progress the Negro has made than would be possible to work his plan daily miles to some Central Exposition. 10. In conclusion, we strongly urge that our people begin now to plan and prepare for the Fifth Anniversary week of the Negro race. We face a menace and an occasion for calling attention of the world to the immense progress the Negro race in America has made during fifty years of freedom. We believe that Dr. Washington and his Executive Committee should again get together and act upon the call from our men throughout the country for a more definite program than the above; such a recommendation should soon be forthcoming, and we have been informed that it will be Coal is now so high that poor people have to buy it by the sack. 40 cents a sack, short measure, as short as the vendor can make it, and get by. The United Mine Workers, in annual session at Indianapolis, last week, it is announced, is preparing a new wage scale, as all existing contracts are expiring, in order to meet the higher cost of living. Increase of miners' wages calls for increase in the cost per sack of coal to the vendor and buyer. The United Mine Workers, the secretary-treasurer reported, collected, in assessments the past year $2,383,547 and expended $2,186,331 leaving a balance on hand of $197,216 Where did the money go? To better the home conditions and the education of the miners and their children? No. It was spilled in the sands. $1,749,106 paid out in support of strikes, to support the men while doing no work. An arbitrary National Board of Arbitration would have saved that to the miners. THE VIRGINIA CARPET BAG GER OF NEW JERSEY. Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, who has for the moment the lead for the Democratic nomination for President, appears to be an adept at dodging the truth and putting his friends in a hole. Col. George Harvey of Harper's Weekly, himself a Southerner of the Southern spirit, discovered Dr. Wilson as a Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey, and, presumably, furnished much of the brains and cash that helped him win the Hon. Lilian Maria Lewis, his Republican opponent, despite the feminine approaches to his name. When he had landed him out of the presidency of Princeton University and $8,000 a year into the governorship of New Jersey and $10,000 a year, Colonel Harvey naturally believed he had unearthed something good enough for President, and so he hung the name of Governor Wilson at the masthead of Harper's Weekly. Then one good friend Dr. Walter H. Page of The World's Work began a serial story of the life of Governor Wilson; Colonel Roosevelt's Outlook published an inspired interview, and Oswald Garrison Villard of the New York Evening Post and Adolph Ochs of the New York Times made the black ink smile with pleasure on the white paper, in praise of the New Jersey carpet-bagger from Virginia on the way to the White House by the rocky, serpent-infested Democratic highway. It was a great day for lusdom and for Ismitses—the finding of a real live Southern carpet-bagger in a northern state eligible to head the Democratic White Hope in the direction of the White House. But Governor Wilson no sooner got into the flashlights of Trenton and Washington than he began to do things. He first sat down hard on ex-Senator James Smith of the Newark Star, the leader and purse-holder of the New Jersey Democracy, and all of his Democratic machine, sending James E. Martine, a real fossil, to the Federal Senate instead of ex-Senator Smith; then he had Colonel William Jennings Bryan spend a passing home in close communion with him at his Princeton home, whereat Colonel Harvey and all Ipsom gaped breathless, and shivered; then the New York Sun, as an act of kindness, unnoted the scandalous fact that in leaving a Princeton job of $8,000 an annum for a Trenton job of $10,000 an annum he had applied to the Carnegie Foundation for a pension and denied the truth of it until the records hitched it on him; then came out the letter Dr. Wilson had sent "Dear Joline," a long time ago, in which he expressed the wish that some way might be found to "knock Bryan into a cooked hat," and this be also denied until the "Dear Joline" letter was printed in the daily papers, and when then Mr. Bryan impired his commenceance away from Trenton and towards Lincoln. The New York Sun then got bury again, as another act of kindness, and discovered that Colonel Harvey and Governor Wilson had fallen out, but Governor Wilson denied it, and stuck to the denial. In self-defense Colonel Harvey has the following to say in Harper's weekly of last week. The name of Woodrow Wilson as our candidate for President was taken down from the head of these columns in response to a statement made to an audience at the White House. Woken up to the effect that our support was affecting his candidacy injuriously. The only course left open to us, in simple fairness to Mr. Wilson, was to take the own self-respect was to cease to advocate his nomination. We make this explanation with great reluctance and the deepest regret. But the very considerable number of our readers who have co-operated earnestly and loyally in advancing a movement which was inaugurated solely in the hope of rendering a high public presence clearly entitled to this information. Colonel Harvey's confession and avoidance is painful enough, but that of Colonel Henry Watterson, the noblest, brainiest and most honorable Democratic Roman of them all, is far more so. Colonel Watterson has given out a statement in which he says, "The conference between us in my apartment at the Manhattan Club was held to consider certain practical measures relating to Governor Wilson's candidacy. Colonel Harvey stood toward Government and thirty years ago toward Mr. Tilden. This appealed to me. Colonel Harvey had brought the Governor and myself together in his New Jersey home eighteen months ago, and as time passed had interested me in his ambitions. In war with the Governor Wilson another Tilden, in point of intellect and availability. I yet think Colonel Harvey made no mistake in his choice of a candidate, but the circumstances leading to the unfortunate parting of the ways between them leads me to doubt whether in character or merely in the habits of a lifetime—Governor Wilson is not the rather a schoolmaster than a statesman." In short, as Matt J. Rogan, the Bryan leader of Wisconsin puts it. "The Democracy cannot afford to follow a leader whose record is marked by a trail of repudiated friendships." So! THE AGE regards Gov. Woodrow Wilson as being a political serpent, the subtilest of them all, and in help- may to make the pathway to the White House impossible it renders the best possible service to its readers and to the country. Down with the Virginia carpet-bagger in New Jersey. THE LATE BISHOP GAINES The sudden taking off of Bishop Wesley John Gaines, the sixteenth Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and Presiding Bishop of the First Episcopal-District, which includes New York, at his home in Atlanta, January 12, at the ripe age of seventy-two years, after a short illness, was not unexpected by those who have watched him critically since his collapse at the meeting of the Bishops' Council, at Mobile, last year. Since that time his activity has been abnormal. He appears to have been seized by a mania for visiting points in his conference district and the annual conference sessions of his brother Bishops. Indeed, his movements and conduct have been, apparently, unusual ever since the Camden session of the New Jersey Conference two years ago, when things happened, as reported in THE AGE at the time, that have kept the whole church in a state of mind unto the present time, and threatened to provoke all sorts of trouble at the General Conference of the church, which will meet during the present year. The Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in discussing the character of Bishop Gaines, says he was born a slave "and claimed, even boasted," that General Robert Toombs, the famous Georgia politician and soldier, "was his uncle," but there were ten other of the Tombs children with him, and only he became famous. He was a man of positive convictions and made many enemies as well as friends. Of his handicaps the Recorder cites the following, which may account for all of the others: Bishop Galine was an uneducated man. During the twenty years of his life he never mastered the English language. He was a man of great intellectual force and his use of his mother tongue, barring a few technical difficulties, had a forcefulness and directness not equalled by his master. When he spoke off-hand his sentences were short, direct, inclusive. Bishop Gaines was licensed to preach in 1866, and was elected a Bishop at the General Conference of 1888, at Indianapolis, and served in more or less of storm for twenty-four years. The Ace freely concedes that he did much to make his church great and strong and that his shortcomings should not weigh against his good works. THE ANANIAS.CLUB REVIVED During the stormy administrations of President Roosevelt the newspapers, notably the New York Evening Post, found it necessary, for purposes of unique and original classification, to establish the Ananias Club, to which all were assigned willy-nilly who disputed President Roosevelt, or gave out anything for publication that President Roosevelt had told them that, when the public had received it, it frowned upon instead of grinning at. That is, if the White House feeler, was received gladly by the public it was allowed to pass; if it was hissed and jeered, President Roosevelt denounced it and the guilty babbler was posted as a liar and as signed to the Ananias Club. Some queer fish got into the Andhias Club, fish that hiss and jeer and glare at each other, such as ex-Senator William E. Chandler of New Hampshire, ex-Senator John L. McLaurin of South Carolina, Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina, ex-Senator Jeta Cassabianca Pritchard of North Carolina, Editor Oswald Garrison Villard of New York, and other such like, giants in their way and place. No Negro got into the club, perhaps, because few, very few ever got into the White House and close enough to the person and voice of President Roosevelt; not that they were barred out, but that they did not get in much. The Ananias Club served a good purpose. Public men, like private citizens, do not relish being classed with and 'as liars. It made President Roosevelt more circumstance in giving public men what he did not wish published, and it made 'public men circumstance in quoting President Roosevelt even when authorized to do so. And that condition obtains even unto this day, long after Colonel Roosevelt has ceased to be President and is become simply contributing editor. When reporters call upon him nowadays he snaps out this stereotypation: "I have nothing to say! I will not be interviewed!" And when his visitors file out of his den at the Outlook office, and are approached on tiptoe, by the inquisitive, they move along more quickly, saying as they move. "Nothing doing.

When the population, the wealth and the resources of the United States are taken into consideration, it is a matter of serious moment that men who are called to occupy the highest positions in the gift of the people, at home and abroad, receive compensation disproportionate to the dignity of the Republic, as compared to the compensation given by other governments for like services, and to that which is given by private business concerns. The President and Vice-President, the members of the Cabinet, the members of the Federal Judiciary and the Federal Congress receive less for their public services than the same grade of men receive for their private services. It is on account of the smallness of the salary and the unusual demands, mostly of a social character, made upon that salary, that many good men refuse to serve the Government and that many do so, after awhile, find it necessary to leave the public service for private service, or service for themselves. It is a common thing for such men as Charles Sumner, John A. Logan, Roscoe Conkling and George F. Edmunds to die poor in barness, or resign from the public service in their old age to make provision for those dependent upon them; but this was before the Senate was packed with millionaires, who can afford, and often do, to give their salaries to their private secretaries. Honest men in the public service who refuse to use their positions to enrich themselves by unlawful ways and who continue in the public service until they die, usually leave no estate except a good name and reputation to their heirs. It is no surprise, therefore, to learn by the probate of his will that the late Justice John Marshall Harlan left an unincumbered estate valued at only $7,000. He was an honest man, and spent most of his active life in the public service, but he was unable to save anything from his small salary. If Congress votes his widow $14,000, the equivalent of one year's salary as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, as it has been proposed, it will be a matter of justice, to which could wisely be added a pension of one-half the salary for life. Economy in the expenditure of pub- lie money is never more needed than now, but the 'economies' should be made in river and harbor, in pub- lite building, and like expenditures made in large measure to promote the interests of this or that member of the Congress, and usually out of all proportion to the emergence and ne- cessity of the situation of any of the cases involved. We spend quite $200,000,000 a year for war pensions, one-half of which is in the nature of graft, as those who get it are not entitled to it or do not need it; while comparatively little is given as pensions to disabled servants of the civil service who grow old and the poor on salaries graded to the living point only. The men with the sword get most of the honors and rewards of the public service, while the men of the pen get but few. It is a harbours arrangement. --- New Yorkers showed their appreciation of the elevation of Archbishop John A. Farley to the Catholic Cardinalate by a monastery demonstration and outpouring of the people upon the home-coming of the Cardinal on Wednesday of last week. It was one of the greatest and most imposing religious demonstrations in the history of the country. The passage of the Cardinal from the Battery to the Cathedral, Fifteenth street, was imposing enough to satisfy the most exacting princes of the church. There are two other Cardinals in the United States: Cardinal John Gibbons of Baltimore, and Cardinal O'Connor of Boston, who was recently created by the Pope at the same time as Cardinal Farley. There is general regret that Archbishop John Ireland of Minnesota, did not also receive the red hat. He is one of the best and strongest of the Catholic dignitaries in the United States, but it was given out at Rome that he was regarded as too radical in certain views as to which the church is ultra conservative. We shall discuss in TIME. Aa next week the attitude and work of the Catholic Church toward the Negro people. --- We have organized the Negro Regiment. Shall it be made a part of the National Guard of the State? Col William Wilson, president of the National Guard Association, says not in his annual address to the association, at Albany, Wednesday of last week, Colonel Wilson said. "I believe that we might be longer either individually or as a body, doing this question, but separately, the issue and place in our record against the which will add only a burden of expense on the state and would fall to increase the efficiency of the organization of which we are all no proud." There are three regimental vacancies in the National Guard. We are entitled to one of them. The State does not pay the expense, the tax-payers pay it; we are tax-payers. THE PATHFINDER OF HISTORY. It sounds unreal to read in the cold unfeeling type of the morning newspapers that Gilbert Bishop, who gave John D. Rockefeller his start in the oil refining business, died without a cent, frozen to death, at the age of 72, at Sisterville, W. Va. It was in 1871, it is said, at Titusville, that Mr. Bishop, who was working in an oil refinery explained to Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Archibold the system. The Standard Oil Company has made untold millions out of the system Bishop is said to have explained to the two men, but it seems never to have occurred to them, or any of them, to provide for Bishop, who for years has lived on the bounty of his friends. It is not creditable to human nature that so many of those in the past who blazed the way to great reforms, to great improvements that made for great wealth and happiness of mankind, or who gave their lives freely that others might have it more abundantly, have been left to fall and starve by the roadway of life and to be forgotten in all that they said and did. The Negro race is peculiarly negligent in such matters. For instance, we have no adequate biography of Richard Allen, Richard Varick, Daniel A Payne, T. M. D. Ward, John Mercer Langston, B. K. Bruce or Norris Wright Cuney. The speeches and addresses of Frederick Douglass, given, are unpublished. The history of races is made by the mass of the people of them as reflected in the great men they produce. The efforts of millions are reflected in the character and achievements of one of them, or of a group of them, in any given period. The millions slaughtered in the Napoleonic wars, in the successful effort to destroy woman-craft, priest-craft and king-craft in the moral and civil government of mankind, live only in name in the small group of men surrounding Napoleon Bonaparte on the one Land and Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, on the other. Napoleon had accomplished his mission, however, when he was halted at Waterloo and hated to St. Helena It is high time that Negro men and women begin to write the biographies of the men and women of them who have done things since they were first landed at Jamestown in 1619, and that the Negro masses begin to read those biographies, those histories. What has the race done? As slave and as freeman it has helped to make the United States what it is. Where is the record? Produce it. How? Write it, and read it. 4. The Irish Players who had a such a stormy time recently in New York, at the Maxine Elliott Theatre, with the play, "The Plowboy of the Western World," had a rougher time of it in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Irishmen would not stand for it. They claim that it does the Irish injustice. There was a riot at the Melville Theatre. Heads were cracked, noses broken, clothes torn, hats smashed, and many arrests. Why do managers allow the presentation of plays like "The Plowboy of the Western World," "The Chimpanzee" and the The circumstances of gems are the co-part of literary psychologists. But the gems do not all belong to the literary cult. They are found in all of the groupings of mankind. Col George Harvey of Harper's Weekly, who was discovered by him after he had discovered Gov. Woodrow Wilson as a Democratic Hope, has, it is said, a serpent for a watch charm, which discloses the mystery of it that Col Harvey is some Democratic serpent himself, with a charm of his own. Anyhow, Gov Wilson has been taught that the Harvey fang has deadly poison in it. The late Col Pleager, of Georgia used to have a real rabbit's foot for a watch charm, from which he would not allow himself to be separated; but, when "Martin" came, it failed to save him alive, like, to which a large part of the people object? ```markdown ``` The intense cold weather of the past week brought out some queer kinks in human nature. Intense cold, like intense heat, affects mankind unnaturally, and people do things for which they cannot account. What a person cannot account for for himself no one else can account for for him. Over in Trenton, Monday night of last week, was one of the coldest of the year. A strange Negro from Baltimore, says the Trenton *Evening Times*, after walking the streets until the early morning, walked up to a policeman on State street and demanded a place to shelter him as he was nearly frozen. The policeman told him to keep on walking and it would make him a criminal and immediately linger upon his heel and walked away. The Negro stood still a moment and then went after the policeman and coming up behind him he struck him a stunning blow on the back of the head. When the policeman turned upon him, he said: "Now, I done it; you's got to go 'mi' a place to warm up. An" I want to warm up a long, long time." The policeman locked him up and the next morning Judge Naar gave him six months in the workhouse. "Thank ye, Judge, thank ye," he said, and meant it. Not every man knows what he wants or gets what he wants, or is grateful when he knows what he wants and gets what he wants. The one may return and thank the giver, but the nine go their way, and forget. Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, has begun at once to hold down his seat at Washington. So large a man was bound to begin at once. We are gratified, however, to chronicle the fact that he has Begun on "dogtail" cotton and not on Negro disfranchement. There is hope for the hopeful, therefore, when Senator Hoke Smith turns his herculean mind from "Cotton" Negro to "dogtail" cotton. May his mind be riveted in that direction while he is riveted to the Senatorial seat for Georgia, the hilarious land of corn whiskey, 'possum and sweet potatoes, and mob wrathers galore. If we had been asked to rivet Senator Smith's attention whereat he should begin at once, if the thing had happily occurred to our busy intellectuals, "dogtail" cotton, rivet your mind on that." But he has done it for him we should have said "Senator Smith, self, and we are so glad. THE NEGRO PRESS Encourage Your Own.

WALTON i iT OTe m ua mi ~ A MOTABLE DECISION — | come embotdened and indifferent to ¢ = =«ftringement of the civil rights of the colored citizens of New York, was handed down Monday in the Court of “Special Sessions, when Justices Hoyt, Duell and Mcinery ruled that Harry A. Levy, Assistant Treasurer of the Lyric Theatre, was guilty of violating the Pe- nal Code by refusing to allow Louis F. Baldwin to occupy a seat in the orches- tra because of his color. Levy was convicted for violating that section of the Penal Code which makes it a misdemeanor to exclude a citizen from privileges on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and the decision is notable in that st iy the first conviction ever secured under the section, all the other cases in which col- ered persons sucd hiving been of a civil nature. After holding that the evidence showed conclusively that Levy had been guilty of excluding Raldwin from ‘the orchestra on account of color only. the court admitted the defendant te bail an- til Thursday, when sentence will be passed. No jail sentence gues with the Offense, but the misdemeanor is punish- able by a tine of $50 to $500. The decision has created widespread alarm among the theatrical maniaKers, as they fully realize that Levy's convic- tion has awakened the colored citvens ef New York to the fact that they are being unjustly discriminated agamst, and that they can get more redress hy bring- ing criminal action against the managers who violate the liw than by insuruting eivil suits for damages as heretofore. Much Interest Shown in Case. The courtroom was crowded by man agers ‘and theatrical people during the trial of the case, as all present: xnew that the decision was of more than pass ing consideration, “To say that the the atre men were surprised when the judges unanimously agreed that Levy was guilty of violanng the law would be putting it mildly, for they readily un- derstand that if the colored citizens of New York so desire they can have any manager wht refuses to Sell them a seat on the first tloor arrested. The spectacle of some of the Broadway managers be- ing hailed to court daily at the mostance | of colored playgoers who have been de- nied the right to occupy the first floor is ‘quite probable. Baldwin testined that he purchased two tickets in the orchestra for the even- iag’of October 13: that on the evening im - question, accompanied by a Viss Geeen, he presented the tickets and was. competied to wait some time. and was thea informed by an usher that he was wanted in the lobby of the theatre. Bald- win testified that when he went to the Tabby he was approached by Levy and esi that Negroes were not allowed in the orchestra of the house. and was off- ered his moncy back, which he refused. Levy's memory did not appear to be ie brightest when testifying relative to telling Baldwin that Nexrocy were not permitted to occupy seafs on the first | ‘of the Lyric Theatre, and declared that he had nothing to do with the re- femal of the seats, placing the blame on the usher. Dering the trial an attempt was made py Levy's attorney to prejudice the mind of the court by recalling that Baldwin, | while living in Roston, had brought suit |. waiect a white man for denying him his avi rights. Levy and his attorney were much taken back when Justice Hoyt re- | marked:. “Any colored man who, has a |” yerson arrested who is infringing upon sis rights merely because of his color is | : within the law since the enactment of | 1 he Fourteenth Amendment.” Reed «Work of District Attorney's Office. { To District Attorney Whitman and | j wo of his assistants, Deputy Assistant istrict Attorney James E. Smith and deputy Assistant District Attorney Core 17 elias N. McDougald, the credit of win- |! gag such a big victory for the colored | * tirens of New York should be given. The peatre managers are perfectly cognizant | 5 f the fact that they violate the law! 1 een they deny colored citizens the | x ht to sit in the orchestra, but they ave had little fear of losing civil suits fought against them in the lower | 7 parts The influence of the theatrical | ,. mast is well shown when the local ewepapers gave but little space to the mviction of Levy, although about two | ts waks ago when it was announced, with- | § mt good cause, that Baldwin contem- | " ated dropping the case, several of the spers published bix-head articles. It is| smored that an attempt was made to] 5, st District Attorney Whitman to show as sincere interest in the suit, but that t refused to entertain such advances. ‘The day after Baldwin had been re- gcd seats at the Lyric Theatre he Hed: at the Wistrict Attorney's office ed told of Levy's conduct. The case ws referred to Deputy Assistant Dis- xt Attorney McDougald, who drew e information and recommended evy's arrest. Magistrate Appleton, be- | ~ we whom Levy. was subsequently ar- igned, issued th. warrant. It was pre the first complication arose. Mag- trate Appleton thoughn the case should . dismissed, suggesting that the arrest od been caused under the wrong section P the Penal Law, and that the charge ‘come emboldened and indifferent to the law, due to the failure of the colored citizens to take advantage of the laws on the statute books for their protec- tion. However, it is thought that the conviction of Levy will be a warning, and the infringements of other civil rights will be retarded, as a conviction ina criminal case carries with it a sure penalty, and the odium of being arrest- ed and convicted is*not appealing to the theatre managers. The Lyric ‘Theatre is managed by the Shuberts. who control approximately over 150 theatres, and it is ng smail compliment to. District. Attorney Whit- man’s afice te convict so powerful a theatre trust. And last, Itt not deast, there should be many bouquets of com: pliments and tons of sincere praise heaped ‘upon the three justices of the Court of Special Sessions, whe found Levy guilty of breaking the law Jus- tices Hoyt, Duell and Metnery WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

Church of Morristown was unveiled Wednesday, January 17, with friends and acquaintances of the late Mrs. Frances Jane Ray, who turned out to pay their last respects to the oldest member of the church, and who had founded it sixty years ago. Mrs. Ray died at the home of her son, Richard L. Ray, 43 Green street, at the age of 100 years. Her death was occasioned by overtaxing her strength on November 11, the centenary of her birth, by receiving callers. On her 100th birthday, so which she had looked forward for years, Mrs. Ray was congratulated by her three children, thirty-eight grandchildren and forty great-grandchildren, besides many friends, who came here from parts of the State. She was in a whirl of excitement from 10 o'clock in the morning until nearly midnight, remaining up long past her bedtime against the wishes of her son. Six days later she was taken sick and for a time was confined to her bed. Shortly before Christmas she revived a little, and was able to attend a modified celebration on that day. Mrs. Ray had twelve children, four of whom enlisted in a New Jersey regiment and served throughout the Civil War, despite the fact that each was wounded while in the service. They were Kemp, Sylvester, Augustine and Frederick Ray. All are now dead In spite of her years, Mrs. Ray's memory was remarkable. Of late years she could relate many episodes of her very early life. She often told of the mode of travel in her younger days. The trip from Morristown, where she was born and raised, to New York had to be made by stage coach. The start would be at 7 o'clock in the morning, and the metropolis would not be reached until 7 o'clock that night. CORNELL BROAD-MINDED. Bursal to New York Age. IREACA, N.

Stokes has presented to Tuskegee Institute—Crystopoeia—a $2,000 trotting stallion from his Patchen Wilkes farm here, and several eastern horsemen have promised to give a number of standard bred mares to form the nucleus of a large breeding establishment planned for Tuskegee Institute. Crystopoeia is a three-year-old black stallion by Cristallion—Electro, with a two-year-old trial of 2.27. The horse was taken to Tuskegee last week by Ed Willis, Stokes' Negro manager of Patchen Wilkes farm. The officers of Tuskegee Institute believe that the establishment of a large practical, breeding plant will do much to interest their race in fine stock breeding and agriculture. BALTIMORE, MD. Baltimore, Md., Jan. 24.—The funeral of Mrs. Corona L. Cook, who died at the Johns Hopkins Hospital last Wednesday, was held Friday at St. Mary's Episcopal Church. The remains were taken to Washington for interment. Mrs. Cook was a native of this city. After graduating from the Colored High School in 1992 she spent two years at Columbia University, New York City. She taught in the local school and married Professor Ralph V. Cook in 1908. Her husband is a son of the late John F. Cook, who was one of the most prominent residents of the District of Columbia. Besides her husband she is survived by her father, two brothers and three sisters. Preparations are being made for the annual session of the Council of Bishops of the A. M. E.

A MINISTER OF THE NEGRO CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE HEARS THAT ARCHBISHOP EVANS, D. G. Is Raising Money to Build a Zion City for the Negro Followers of Christ and Offers the Alliance to Help Raise the Money. As I am on route South to remain over Sunday, copy of the Tate New York Arts Center mysteriously before me, from which I learn where you are located and what you are doing. I hear that you are preparing, for the Negro followers you are, and I am told you yourself to raise $25,000 in 1912. I wish to inform you which I have the honor to represent, may get the money for you if we can reach an understanding agreeably in time to make the application for it on or before midst of January. If this new note of interest you, answer this note by return mail so can get it at once on my return to the city. Rev. J. L. S. Huff. 772 Central Ave. Cam My dear Sir and Brother, Your very kind favor of the last came to me in due course of time, and I notice that you have been informed that I have planned to raise money to build a Zion City for the Negro followers of Jesus, the King of Glory, and that I was preparing to raise $25,000 of the money that I 1912. And I notice that if we can appeal for the money or apply for it on the 15th of January to your church people, that your church may get it for me. I understand you right? If so, in reply I wish to say first, that it is money that am calling for, but I am a man of faith and I can not master how much he offered me to do the wrong thing; I will not do the thing that God opposes for any amount of money. I do not know what you desire me to do. I induce and to justify you and your church to go into the thing God has given to the Negro do. For his and my faith in the Negro is now daily calling them into; of the whole Negro race the world over; but I will say to you that a leading minister of one of the leading Negro denominations recently offered to turn over six hundred thousand of the money and women to church into the movement. I am leading the Christians of our race into. If I would do a certain thing that he and his church wanted me to do, and I would not accept his offer, for the simple reason that the thing has his church and that he did not want me to do; and I want you and all you to not forget that I must obey God at any cost; yes, if it is to cost my life I must plumb the line; and I want to assume you and all my women and God's people interested in the matter doing, that people in the trader in the work that God has sent me to do; it shall be the right thing for me to do; I shall not make a mistake while He is grinding me.

Not only has God cast away the white people who refuse to obey him and the messengers He has seat to them for their business, but they can never be subdued or overthrown any more for ever. Is that news good enough to interest the Negro people, and the Negro true preachers? I will certainly prove whether I am true or not if the people who refuse to obey me and the Negro race His choice way of delivering them from evil and oppression in all the world, and then the whole leadership of the race in one voice cry out and say I am a liar, and refuse to allow the people to take hold of me and give me away now in front, the way I will do is God choice way for your success, it is impossible for you to fall if you will take your medicine as I direct you to do.

Offices 319, 325 and 327 West 41st St. at New York City. N. B.—I will tell you what I are preparing to build for the Negro followers of me, as I follow the Lord of Glory. I am now preparing to build a headquarters building for the Negro people in the citation and the royal treasure building of the true righteous of the whole Negro race that will come as I call into that association in power in the town that they will be delivered. This building shall aim to build by the gifts of the seven hundred thousand Elects that take sides with me in the work the Lord has called me to do in the service of the Negro people; there nothing shall ever attain to the honor and the glory and power of the Grand Supreme Holy Trinity Association, the True Light of the world stands, and I will allow three royal representatives of each state, territory and district of the United Kingdom to be classed as members of the royal board of the Negro people; and each will hold a citation as the flood and flood of it; and the royal standard Elect membership is fixed at seven hundred (700,000) thousand men and women, and each one will hold a citation as the flood and flood of it; and each give to the work for the first twelve years of their faithfulness in giving to the cause to the glory of God and for the good of Him and our people; the benefits to be given to them each is a secret for them to keep.
