PRICE, 5 CENTS BIG FIGHT ON PEONAGE SYSTEM Administration is Trying to Stamp Out Involuntary Slavery Attorney General Has Given Much Attention to Prosecution of Peonage in Southern States In 1911 Report Attorney General Recommends that Statutes of United States Be Amended Regarding Peonage. Social to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 27.—The record of the Taft administration in the prosecution of the proenage system in the South has been called to public attention by the annual report of the Attorney General, recently issued. The report shows that Attorney General Wickersham has made a determined and quite successful effort to stamp out a pernicious system in certain Southern States that in effect has been a virtual annulment of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery. The report shows conclusively that the Attorney General has been just as active in the prosecution of proenage as has been in his prosecution of the trusts, and has been the first case directly deeply concerns the Negro, for the Negro has been the victim of involuntary slavery under the proenage system. The decision of the Supreme Court in the Alonzo Bailey case, renderer last term by Mr. Justice Hughes, holding unconstitutional the State law of Alabama under which Bailey was held as a poon, in which Attorney General Wickersham and Assistant Attorney General Harr appeared as amicus curiae, a distinct summon for the cause of freedom from the jurisdiction of the Attorney General to appear in this case, his act was wholly voluntary in the interest of the enforcement of the Thirteenth Amendment and the ponage statute. Wickersham Makes Report. This report of the Attorney General for 1911, gives two pages to the subject of the enforcement of the peonage statutes. The report says: The vigorous enforcement of the statutes against peonage, conducted by the department in the last few years, it is believed has done much to owe up to the voluntary servitude in many districts, but in some of the southern states this practice appears to be still quite extensively carried on. Prosecutions under the peonage statutes have been instituted in all the southern states, and in a few states not in the South. The report also recommends that the statutes of the United States upon the subject of peonage and slaves be amended and made more effective for the prosecution of persons against slavery and involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime. A large held is open for workers of the road to secure from Congress have necessary to render more effective the thirteenth Amendment, and thus make the United States and liberty of Nestores in the South. The records will show that prosecutors of persons for violating the peonage statutes have been instituted in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Texas and other states. Convictions have resulted in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia, with presentations still pending in Kentucky, Louisiana and Texas. In a number of cases prison sentences have been imposed against men who have been standing in jail or been sentenced to pay hefty fines. The local United States attorneys have had the assistance of special agents of the Department of Justice and the assistance of special attorneys in the prosecution of these cases. Federal Judges, notably Judge Emory Speer of Georgia, and Judge Thomas Jones of Alabama, have been most outspoken and courageous in their charges to the grand jury considering these cases, in their respective districts. A few more years of this kind of campaign, the assistance of Cagress ought to result in stamping out peonage and involuntary servitude of all kinds. CARDINAL GIBBONS' APPEAL Special to The New York Age Bartow, Md., Feb. 28—Cardinal Gibbon has issued a strong appeal for Catholic New York and Indian Missions. The appeal is issued on behalf of the Catholic board of Negro and Indian Missions, of which he, Cardinal Farley of New York, and Archbishop Prendergast of Philadelphia, are members. The appeal follows, in part: In making to you our appeal this year we call your attention to several important points. First that the work of the Archbishop and the Indian, owing to your great generosity, is growing; that there COL. ALLEN ALLENSWORTH Retired Chaplain U. S. Army, Founder of Allensworth, Cal. are now engaged in it a greater number of workers, and that more work is being accomplished. The body of secular priests and the Negroes and the Negroes are greater than ever before. Secondly, that with the increase of the workers and the work there is necessity for means to carry on the work. We are now in our midst 70,000,000-n-Catholics, of whom the Negroes and the Indians form one-alxth only. Is it possible for us to fulfill our serious, advenient, and necessary mission, less we show a fuller missionary spirit and activity, a spirit and penance and sacrifice for them far greater than any we have hitherto shown? Let us not forget that a Christian missionary will serve the gospel to them as it should be preached. 100 PER CENT. ILLITERATE African Missionary Tale of Cochinium in Dark Continent Under Portuguese Rule-Portuguese Also Densely Ignorant Miss Martha Drummer, missionary to Quessua, Melange, Angola, Africa, addressed a St. Mark's audience dressed in the costume of the progressive natives a few evenings ago. Miss Drummer read and sang in the native language. She then gave at length her experiences with the curious customs, ignorance and superstition of the people. Work is with and for the natives of Africa, and for the children of the M. E. Church. Her field of labor is on the Portuguese possessions. Notwithstanding the fact that the Portuguese nation is more than seventy per cent illiterate, it holds complete control over the natives, who are one hundred per cent illiterate. The Portuguese hold Angola as a dumping ground for their criminal class. All the thieves, murderers and other objectionable citizens are exiled to Angola, where they are given free range with the native Africans as their prey. Thus, added to their burdens the missionary and the natives have this extra load of sin to bear. Miss Drummer told her story with earnestness and zeal. In some instances her stories were amusing; at other times she was writing a letter when she was leaving this country six years ago how an old colored woman, having heard that Africa was a dark country, brought her five little pieces of candle to light her way. This incident she wrote back to a lady who sent her one hundred dollars to help in the work. WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MEETING. Society to THE NEW YORK ACA PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 27. A mass meeting in the interest of woman suffrage was held Sunday afternoon at Cherry Memorial Church, 16th and Christian streets. The meeting was called by Mrs. Mary Tribblett, financial director of the Downing Industrial School, and was presided over by Mrs. Fannie J. Reed, matron of the Colored Women's Christian Association. Mrs. Lydia Stokes, chairlady of the legislative committee of Pennsylvania, spoke for an hour, in which she stated that the time had come for the establishment of the Negro men and women, and that it was necessary for all the women of the Negro race to assist their white sisters in the stand that they were taking in asking for full citizenship. Miss Mary Winsor, President of the Women's Suffrage Clubs of Haverford, drew attention to the incongruity existing between the laws of Christianity and the laws of the country, the first being perfect and the latter imperfect. On inspection, the interiors of houses seem to be clean, whereas the majority of public thoroughfares are dirty, simply because men were responsible for street cleaning, and that women had no influence in election of those who contribure about improvement in the conditions which affect them principally. She complimplemented the Negro race on the part it had taken in the emancipation of African other speakers were Mrs. Helen Brazington, Miss McKein Smith, Mrs. Anna M. Orne and William Gleason, secretary of the Comprehensive Plans Committee, after which Mrs. Mary Tribbett exploited the Downing-town School. ROSENWALD IS MADE A TUSKEGEE TRUSTEE Chicagoan Succeeds George Foster Peabody of New York City Elected Secretary of Institute—Dalia gulped Party Entertained by Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. December Ala. Feb. 20 at 4:00 a.m. last Friday afternoon the northern trustees of the Tuskegee Institute, who with a party of about fifty friends had been for several days the guests of the school, left by special train for Atlanta, where they were entertained at dinner Friday evening by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. Arrangements were made some days ago to entertain Julius Rosenwald and the Chicago party when they reached Atlanta on their way North. Thursday afternoon Mr. Rosenwald received a telegram from Wilbur L. Moore, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, asking if it would be agreeable to him if Seth Low of New York, and the other members of the Board of Trustees, with the members of the party from the East, were also invited to guests at the dinner arranged for him and the Chicago party. The invitation was accepted and arrangements were made to bring both parties to Atlanta together by special train. Thursday evening the trustees and their friends were entertained in the chapel of the institute by a novel kind of historical exercise. Instead of the traditional essays and recitations the stage of the chapel was fitted with machinery and various kinds of apparatus used by the students in the shops, the dairy and the cooking school. A partition of the stage had been fitted up as a dining room and kitchen with a kerosene oil range. With this setting a young woman demon-trained to the students and the guests of the school how to set a table and how to cook and serve a meal. The whole operation was cleverly dramatized and thoroughly carried out, and the performance was closely followed and greatly admired by the men of the party. Another student demonstrated the method of collecting and handling the milk of the institute. A third showed the operation of the truck garden. Changes in the Board of Trustees. It was announced at the meeting of the Board of Trustees that Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, had been chosen trustee of Tuskegee Institute in place of George Foster Peabody of New York, who at his own request, and because he felt that he was no longer able to properly fulfil the duties which the office required, had retired. Emmett J. Scott, who for many years, as principal of Washington's private secretary, has carried the large part of the burden of the school, was elected to the position of secretary of the school. He will also continue to serve Dr. Washington, however, in the capacity of private secretary. Aside from Mr. Rosenwald, Dr. Charles E. Mason of Boston, is a new member of the Board of Trustees. Mrs. Mason, who is a daughter of the War Governor Andrews, of Massachusetts, has given the school a new $50,000 hospital building, which is now in course of erection. When this building is completed Tuskegee Institute will have one equipped hospital buildings in the South. After the dinner given them by the Chamber of Commerce at Atlanta Friday evening, the two parties, one from Chicago and the other from New THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1912. York and New England separated.

They spent Wednesday afternoon in company with Principal Washington, Nelson the shops and looking at the museum. HEAR ABOUT HAMPTON Majer Meton Telle the Audience That crimination and Draw No Celine Lina. Despite the inclement weather Carnegie Hall was crowded Monday evening with citizens of Greater New York who braved the elements to hear about Hampton Institute and the work it is doing. Among the speakers were Joseph H. Choate, Dr. William J. Schieffell, Dr. H. B. Frissell, who has been principal of Hampton Institute since 1893; Maj. R. R. Moton, Commandant at Hampton Institute; Michael V. Wolf, a Chippewa Indian from Reserve, Wis., and Madikane Quandyane, Cele, a Zulu student, who finished wheelwrighting at Hampton Institute in May, 1911. A well-trained chorus of thirty Negroes and ten Indians from Hampton rendered several selections. In speaking on The Meaning of Hampton, Maj. Moton stated that the black Negro put the same heart and amount of skill and energy into his work gets as large returns from his labor as the whitest Anglo-Saxon; that the forces of nature, wind, wave, heat, steam and electricity, are blind forces and see no race discrimination and draw no color line. "General Armstrong." said Maj. M. Monton, "struck the right key-note when forty-four years ago he founded the Hampton Institute — an institution which, while it was in no sense lacking in appreciation of what is sometimes called higher education, did put emphasis upon the importance and value of such a moral and industrial training as the Hampton Institute and competency. These are the elements of people, no people, whether white, black or red, can ever hope to maintain themselves among civilized people. "The strongest evidence of General Armstrong's wisdom and foresight we find in the work that is being done by the thousands of young men and women, black and red, who have gone out from Hampton, of whom Booker T. Washington is the most distinguished. They are now scattered all over the Sea and We. Their farms, their homes, their schools, their communities, their lives, and their characters are living influences of civilization in its best and most far-reaching sense. The demand of this age and hour is not so much what a man knows, but what he can do and how well he can do it." MEETING AT LYNCHBURG. Special to The New York Agr.

AL Bishop of South A who will give an illustrated lecture on "South Monday evening RACE PREJUDICE IN THE BRITISH WEST INDIES Martin Cyril Richards Writes Letter from Panama on Subject RT. REV. J. ALBERT JOHNSON Bishop of South Africa, A. M.E. Church who will give an illustrated lecture on "South Africa" at Bethel A. M.E. Church, New York, Monday evening, March 4, 1912. SAYS COLOR LINE IS DRAWN Writer maintains that More Color Prejudice Exists in West Indian Then in the United States Agreeing with Thaddeus L. McDonald, a student at Morgan College, Baltimore, that there is a color question in Jamaica, and charging that there is more discrimination in the West Indies on account of color than in the United States Martin Cyril Richards, a native of the West Indies, writes from Colon, Palau, claiming that sentiments have been relative to conditions in Jamaica. Mr. Richards says: "Every conscientious and intelligent person who has lived in any of the British West Indian islands long enough to know something of the people, their manners and customs, will agree that every word contained in Mr. Thaddeus L. McDonald's article in THE AGE of January 25 is true. Indeed every sensible West Indian knows to-day that in spite of the hue and cry which is constantly raised against the United States for color prejudice, there is really more color than prejudice in the British West Indies and South Africa, constituting the beast that is made of British justice and humanity, than anywhere, the United States not excepted. And it is strange that the world hears nothing from British subjects of the prejudice that exists under the British flag, except what is made known and animadvertised upon by conscientious men of the type of William T. Stead. "As for the majority of colored British subjects, they feel very indignant when told that the principles of British government over the natives of Africa and the West Indies are anything but the embodiment of justice and humanity. Yet there is a perpetual exodus from the British Colonies of these well cared for and well treated people. "It is high time that colored West Indians who, like Roger Melbourne, have had to leave their country to better themselves intellectually or financially under another flag, in an environment more favorable to their progress than their own, should banish from their minds those ridiculous ideas which only the most ignorant might cling to in the broad light of this twentieth century. Color Prejudice and Class Distinction "Roger Melbourne says that Mr. McDonald has 'mixed color line with class distinction,' and that the color line is not drawn in Jamaica. Mr. Melbourne knows in his heart that Mr. McDonald is right, and that it is he himself who is misrepresenting things. The color line is certainly drawn in Jamaica as elsewhere in the British West Indies, and Mr. Melbourne is not doing his country any service, although he undoubtedly believes he is in thus coming out and declaring Jamaica has no color line. The question is virtually the race problem, and is not a local, but a universal question. To discuss it fearlessly and dispassionately is not a crime, as most Jamaicans imagine, but a duty which we owe the world in which we live. In Jamaica, as in the other British islands, there are three distinct racial elements: the black the colored and the white. Socially the white comes first, the colored second and the black last. This is the general rule under which that difficult problem—the race problem—is apparently solved. "Of course exceptions operate against this rule as against every other rule, and those instances of social recognition by whites of black and colored people, as mentioned by Mr. Melbourne, must be taken only as exceptions to the rule. Just as the social standing of the Negro race as a whole, in the United States, cannot be judged by the social preferment allowed such an exceptional Negro as Booker T. Washington by a few liberal minded white men. The Question of Recognition. "I am sure the Negroes of the United States (the pure blacks, mulattoes, quadroons, outroars, and all other near-white) are too white-swake and intelligent to mistake this recognition of a partial few for a general recognition of their race on terms of social equality with the whites. But the West Indies are cursed with a type of Negroes who are so ignorant that they can easily be fooled that way, nay, they will even construe the simple grimmace or gesture on the part of a white person to mean familiarity or terms of social equality. Theirs is really a great ambition but I don't grudge them the least. They are a class who look down upon those who are darker than they are in complexion. They don't appreciate their company and don't want to be classed with them socially. For instance, if a black man and a fair or even brown woman fall in love, or vice versa, the relatives of the colored one usually kick with all the vehemence imaginable, and go all lengths to prevent the union of the colored relative with a Negro. On the other hand, colored people aim so much at ingratiating themselves with the whites, that they are often willing to sacrifice the honor of some female relative merely for the momentary companionship of some cunning white gallant or other; and they trust him so implicitly that they will allow him liberties which they deny to persons of their own color. "Facts are very stubborn things, and I admit sometimes offensive to those whom they expose, but they prevail always with honest people and no amount of perversion or suppression thereof nor any manner of varnishing right and puzzling wrong, can succeed in snatchiness, from people as intelligent and wide awake as are the people, white and colored of the United States. If any West Indian can come forward and contradict me in what I have said, let him do so. Position of "White" West Indian. "The West Indian white, more than the Englishman in the islands, who has no scruples when it comes to using the black man as the tool wherewith to attain that cartily happiness which is manifestly his chief arm in life, looks upon the Negro as a mere beast of burden which the Common Father and Maker of Mankind has made and endowed with just enough sense to help him conquer the forces of nature. Naturally the more intelligent Negroes look upon this view as prepossere and express themselves openly and bitterly against it. But how many such men, like S.A. G. Cox and Mr. McDonald, can be found from each island who are intelligent and brave enough to stand up for the natural and human rights of the Negro? Very few indeed, for they may be counted on one's fingers. "But despite this numerical disadvantage they are a thorn in the white West Indian's side, a menace to his ill-acquired prosperity. That is why Mr. Fox's career was inedible in the 19th century. Dick Jenkins the great black lawyer of British Quiana died a premature and unnatural death, and that is why many black men—notably barristers and journalists—are imprisoned and sometimes even assassinated in the British West Indies. The latter dirty work is usually entrusted to the colored class of Negroes which Mr. McDonald's very learned critic evidently represents. Yet I am a colored West Indian myself, a mulatto. And I disclose this fact because I do not want a full-blooded Negro to answer for my sin. I think I have discussed the subject as it should be, without the slightest exaggeration." FIRST NEGRO ON JURY. PATERSON. N. J., Feb. 28—William J. Greene, a colored undertaker of this place, enjoys the distinction of being the first Negro to serve on a jury in the high court of Paterson or in Passaic County. He was selected last week out of a panel of sixty to sit in the case of John J. Domohue, white, who was charged with maintaining a gambling house. The case was tried in the Court of Quarter Session. Domohue was found guilty. The appearance of a Negro on the jury created a mild sensation. Mr. Greene is THE AGN correspondent at Paterson. PRICE; 5 CENTS DENTIST INDICTED CHARGE-BIGAMY Dr. Thomas W. Robinson of Jersey City Put Under $500 Bond Indicted in November and Arrested February 19, Due to Activities of Detective Edmonds HAD MANIA FOR MARRYING Dr. Robinson Said to Have Left New York Some Years Ago on Account of Mental Troubles. The colored residents of Jersey City N. J., received quite a shock last week when Dr. Thomas W. Robinson, a well-known and popular dentist of that city, was arrested for bigamy, having been indicted by the Grand Jury of Hudson County. Dr. Robinson is being held under a $500 bond, and his case will be called for trial March 4. Dr. Robinson, who is about 55 years old, is said to have had a mania for marrying fascinating members of the fair sex without obtaining a legal separation. Thereafter are four women in the East who bear the name of Mrs. Thomas W. Robinson. They are Miss Emma Briscoe, whose whereabouts are unknown; Miss Lidie G. Locast, 139 117 N. Oxford street, Brooklyn, and Miss Rachel Henderson, wife No. 4, when Dr. Robinson was living at 59 Jackson Avenue, Jersey City, at the time of his arrest. Although Dr. Robinson was indicted for bigamy by the Hudson County Grand Jury November 10, 1911, he was not arrested until February 19, due to the activities of Detective Shaped H Edmonds of New York City. Whole No. 2 and No. 3 are responsible for Dr. Robinson's predicature. Dr. Robinson's perkiness for taking unto himself a wife is said to have developed prior to 1890, when he had Miss Emma Briscoe. After a brief courtship they were united in marriage. Shortly after the ringing of the wedding bells the dashing groom decided to finance the finances were low he concluded that it was impossible for him to attend school and support a wife. So he had a conference with Mrs. Robinson and they agreed to separate. Several months after their separation Mrs. Robinson No. 1 was introduced to another Mrs. Thomas W. Robinson, who stated that prior to her marriage she was Miss Lidie G. Locast, 112 Balmain street, Westchester, Pa. Mrs. Robinson No. 2 stated that she had been taken upon investigation, the two women found that Thomas W. Robinson was one and the same man. Second Wife Soon Deserted Dr. Robinson, when confronted by wife No. 2 that he had another spouse living, denied the charge and so appeased his second wife's mind that she dropped the subject. Their married life was also of short duration, however, for Mrs. Robinson No. 2 came home one day and found the object of her affections missing. And he did not come back. It is said that Dr. Robinson did not leave Mrs. Robinson No. 2 until he had spent most of the small bank bank she had when she met him. The next time Dr. Robinson heard of as a principal in domestic life was when Miss Idell Williams of Brooklyn had married a man who already had two wives. Mr. Williams was married to Dr. Robinson June 7, 1898, by the vicar. W. Brooks of St Mark's Church. Mrs. Robinson No. 3 is well known in Brooklyn, her father at one time being present in religious circles. Two children were born of the marriage. About six or seven years ago three Mrs. Robinson's got together agreed to have the dentist arrested for bigamy, and suit was brought by wide No. 3. The case, for some reason which has never been explained, was thrown out of court in New York City, and Dr. Robinson later moved to Jersey City. Living in Jersey City was Mrs. Rachel Henderson, who was reputed to be worth quite a sum of money. Dr. Robinson paid her much attention, and on December 3, 1910, they were united in matrimony. It was about this time that Dr. Robinson filed suit for divorce against Mrs. Robinson No. 1 at N. J., and obtained an abatement decree. However, he ignored the matrimonial entanglements with the other two wives. In November, after having seconded the services of Detective Edmonds to secure the proper evidence, Mrs. Robinson No. 3 appeared before the Johnson County Grand Jury and had the dentist indicted for bigamy. Johnson inson No. 4 is said to be almost treated over the arrest of Dr. Robinson as she says he has always told her to believe any idle group about the previous marital occasion. Dr. Robinson is a man of striking peranance, move in manner and of a genial disposition. Sunday was a glorious day at Bother the services, were largely attended by. Dr. Ransom filled the pulpit both morning and evening. Next Sunday morning the Rev. J. Robert Johnson will preach, and the following Monday evening he will exhibit a series of scenes of Africa taken on his travels through that country.

They may be written out by anybody without signifying the name and placed in the box. The teacher must not be sally nor impudent, and must deal with matters of doctrine or ritual or history. They will be answered the same night they are sent in.

E. W. Simpson, a missionary working in India for the past ten years as the minister for the evening. The Rev. Simpson made an excellent presentation, giving a vivid picture of the people of that country, paying particular attention to the castle system.

Brockett held the undivided attention of his audience from the time he began until he took his seat, and the interest was all the more intense because of the fact that thirty years ago he was ordained for the gospel ministry in the Mount Olivet Church. Mr. Brockett was a member of Massachusetts Avenue Baptist Church of Cambridge, Mass., and his presence in the city at this time is for the purpose of raising funds for the work which he is so nobly carrying on.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACE MEMPHIS, Tennessee, Feb. 27 - A severe blow was given to the "Lily Whites" Republicans at the Shelby County Republican convention, which was held at the courthouse Wednesday, February 14, and the result was that Negroes were elected secretary, member of the county committee, delegates, and alternates to the state convention which meets March 14th. The usual custom of the "Lily Whites" has been to elect delegates imposed by the Federal office holders to the county and "state" conventions, and on the day of election ask the colored man to vote the Republican ticket. After election he did not get much consideration. The Negro voters thought it best to change this situation so in response to the call assigned by the lieutenant of the county committee that every ward and district and present to elect delegates to the county convention they got busy, voting their delegates. When the contest came up relative to who should be seated the "Lily White" is expected, were seated by the county committee. However, when the committee served B. J. T. Smith seated C. H. Smith made a speech declaring that there were delegates present who had voted and that the convention had the votes to whom should be seated. Howe- B. G.

While Mayor Gaynor has been getting a breath of fresh air by the glad sea waves of Atlantic City, lawlessness in New York has been taking whatever it can get its criminal hands on. The difficulty with Mayor Gaynor and Gov. House of South Carolina is the same: he has more faith in the criminal element, the animal in human nature, than experience justifies. The way to keep down the criminals is to show them no mercy when they violate the law. --- Matthew Henson has written a book, entitled, "A Negro Explorer at the North Pole," which the literary author of the New York Sun says is one of the most interesting of the Spring books." We have no doubt the book will be widely read. Mr. Henson has a fine literary style and a mind highly cultivated by the study of the standard authors. He spent twenty years in the Arctics with Commander Robert L. Peary and became thoroughly impressed with the people of those regions. From the dense foliage of the Florida Burgundies Col. Henry Watterson sends an address to the Democrats of Ken- tany in which he hurls deistance at Cow. Woodrow Wilson, saying: "In Cow. Wilson we should have a candidate every step of whose way through the whole campaign would be over the hidden pitfalls of a career yet to be explored; we should have a candidate who has made a deathbed repentance of hiding convictions ably expounded to ensure a Presidential nomination." And he has not the Democratic party been doing that same thing since James Buchanan became a private citizen? The Democrats in Congress, having got tired of Mr. William Jennings Bryan's constant dictation in what they shall and shall not do, have organized a club for the purpose of asking Mr. Bryan's advice on the smallest and biggest questions, so that he shall be so busy answering questions he will not have time to ask any. In the minstrel shows the clown always asks the questions and keeps the wise guys busy answering them. The moment one of the wise guys asks the clown's question the show breaks up in confusion. If one of the wise Democrats should ask Mr. Bryan, "What shall we do to be moved?" the election would be over quite a while before he should get through with the answer. As a long distance talker Governor Woodrow Wilkins is a close second to Mr. Bryan. Milwaukee has become notorious all over the world for its beer breweries. It is difficult to find any place where some brand of its beer cannot be purchased. Congressman Victor L. Bergar, the lone Socialist in the House of Representatives, speaking at the People's Institute in New York. Sunday, February 18, said that Milwaukee is not a German town, and that of the eighty-even Socialist organizations there, only two are German, and seventy-five are English speaking, while ten times more men are employed in the manufacture of machinery than of beer. Mr. Berger also said that "Socialism is not a theory but a phase or epoch of civilization. Whereas freedom grew into capitalism, he said capitalism will grow into Socialism. Socialism, he decried, means collective ownership and democratic management." CONDUCT AT SPLICE BETWEEN TAINMENTS. The Negroes of New York, of whom there are now some 100,000 in the four Boroughs, have more public entertainments, more elaborate and expensive, than those of any other city in the country. This is true because they make more money and save less and have more opportunities than the Negroes of other cities. White, black and colored New Yorkers are alike in the disposition to dress better, feed better and enjoy life more than any other people in the country. People who spend most they make come upon trouble after awhile and fall out but in New York there are always others to fall in, so that there is never any gap. The sober-sides, the old foggers who watch the passing show and furnish the food and drink and clothing for it gather in the dollars and keep them. They are the substantial Negroes in every community who do this, and they get more satisfaction and comfort out of gathering and saying the dollars their brethren spend than the spenders do. Indeed, it is more blessed to gather in and save than to scatter and spend. But those organizations of ours that give entertainments should sit down hard on the disposition to scandalous conduct which has made its appearance at public receptions. These organizations have in the main a reputation for high and ennobling purposes to maintain, and they cannot afford to allow it to be lowered by conduct of their patron scandalous in character. A new generation have come upon the scene in New York, many of whom have a notion that loud, boisterous and vulgar conversation, indelicately suggestive dress, dances in which the proprieties are whistled down the winds, and drinking to excess, are the most approved to be done, and do them—the wives and daughters and sons should be protected from the extremes in these things that corrupt the mind and encourage extravagant spending in dress, drinking and eating It is to be regretted that the lessees and owners of dance halls and gardens retain the right to sell all the liquor and cigars and eatables they can, and do it, to make up the difference in the small rental demanded for the use of such halls and gardens. The lessees make the money on the bar and restaurant privileges, and the organization scarcely cover expenses by the admission prices demanded. It is a far deduction that ninety per cent of the vast sums spent every week by Negroes in public entertainment goes into the pockets of the white lessees and owners of the halls and gardens who retain the bar and restaurant privileges, and who often make a scandalous condition in the effort to sell as much liquor as possible, and do it. There is no apparent escape from this condition in New York except that our organizations pool their money and credit and purchase one great garden and one great hall of their own. Public entertainments that corrupt the morals or old and young alike that put a premium upon intemperance which lead to display of obscene talk and vulgar action—such public entertainments are dangerous. Our older men and women should see this if the younger do not, and do what they can to keep the moral standards high. We believe they desire to do so and will welcome any assistance we can give them in helping them to do so. FALSE LEADERSHIP Henry Lincoln Johnson, the present Recorder of Deeds at Washington, was the permanent chairman of the Republican state convention recently held at Atlanta, Ga. In the course of his speech Mr. Johnson is quoted by the Atlanta Constitution as having said, "I long to see the time when every position of leadership in the Republican party of Georgia will be held by a white man, for under those conditions I believe every man would have an equal chance." For the past number of years the leadership in the Republican party in Georgia and other Southern States has been held by white men, and as Southern white men assume leadership the Negro is not only crowded out of conventions, but out of offices as well. If Mr. Johnson made such a statement, and it sounds very much like him, he had better confine his operations to Georgia, if that State will stand for him, for the Negroes in the Northern States will refuse to follow, or even listen to such serious talk. It is surprising that a Negro can be found who, for a paltry political job, will advise his race to abandon hope, ambition and aspiration, and play a part or back-door medicant to white men who are Republicans only for the loaves and fishes. Mr. Johnson's speech is an insult to every self-respecting Negro South or North, and such false leadership will make no followers. Mr. Johnson may, and can sell his birth-right, his manhood for a mess of postage, but the race will not. Down with such leaders who will advise and command that the race bow to white political leadership in the South simply because that leadership is white. Will the Southern delegates stand pat at Chicago? They say they will. They always say it. President Taft has nominated Chancellor Mahloh Pitney of New Jersey to be an Associate Justice, to succeed the late Justice John Marshall Harlan. The appointment is not only an excellent one, but the best one that could be made under the circumstances, where so many interests are to be taken into account in making such appointments. Justice Pitney is a good lawyer, with a long and creditable record as a Judge of New Jersey courts. He is fifty-four years of age, and the first native of New Jersey to occupy a place on the Federal Supreme Court Bench. He is a Republican in politics, and has served two terms in the Federal House of Representatives. In matters affecting the Negro we have reasons for hoping, as in the case of Justice Charles E. Hughes of New York, that he will side with the Republican rather than the Democratic construction of the War Amendments, after which Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of Massachusetts, appointed by President Roosevelt, went erring. We believe Justice Pitney will lean somewhat toward the position of Justice Harlan, whom he succeeds. We are all the more gratified at the appointment of Justice Pitney, as it emphasized the turning down of United States Circuit Court Judge William H. Hook of Kansas, who was slated for the place, because of opinions antagonistic to the Negro people expressed by him in the case of McCabe versus the Santa Fe Railroad, which were brought to the attention of President Taft. It is highly creditable to him and gratifying to the Negro people that President Taft virtually refused to appoint Judge Hook, because the Negro people objected. It shows where the sympathies of the President would be if he were on the Supreme Court Bench, which was more of his desire than to be President. The attitude of the Supreme Court on questions involving the Constitutional rights of the Negroes is bad, deplorable enough, without the presence in it of another prejudiced Judge, such as Judge William H. Hook. That President Tait was open to the acceptance of this view is a great gain for justice without prejudice. In connection with Judge Hook's turndown we are interested in a statement of Dr William J. Thompkins, published in the Kansas City Sun, in which he says A few days ago I was approached to sign a petition to the President of the United States, asking for the appointment of Judge Hook of Leavenworth, Kansas, to succeed the judge Hustian of the Supreme Court, a man who was a defender of every right to which the Negro, as a citizen, was entitled. The petition was a result of a reputed request of Judge Hook in a letter to Lawyer Hustian asking him to aid him because of the attacks that were being made on him by the American Negro to President Taft. The petition was also a public opinion is that they fight as earnestly on one side of a defense as they would on the other, constraining the law to suit theason for which they contend. But when I read the list and finding therom the names of two of our prominent educators, Professors R T Cohen and Joe L. Herrford, the one Grand Master of the Masque Fraternity of Missouri and Jurisdiction and the other Chief Grand Master of the Order of Tahoe, otherwise known as the Knights of Tahoe, we could not help contemplating the future of the race and reflect upon our supposed leadership. I came to this conclusion that under the guidance of such leaders, the future held nothing but disaster for my people. It is the opinion of every same Negro in this country that the approval of the decision in the case Metahoe is always Santa Fe R R Co. Inc Federal Reporter, page 966 shows that Judge Book is partisan, biased and unjust. That case is now on appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States and the Negro race is entitled to have the case on appeal before the Court of the full nine members, not one of whom has been identified with that decision. We cannot understand, and do not desire to understand. Negroes who would recommend a man like Judge Hook for anything. Such Negroes, and there are too many of them, are a curse to themselves and to their race, and should be sternly frowned down. THE BLACK CABINET. We take off our hats to the "Black Cabinet" in Washington. It is now practically certain that the Black Cabinet has defeated the nomination of Judge Hook to the Supreme Bench. Never in the history of colored office holders has a set of men spoken so frankly to the President and received such courteous treatment on the part of the President than is true of the Black Cabinet. Never in the history of the officeholders in Washington have the colored men who hold office been so united as they are today. The Black Cabinet deserves great credit for what it has done and is doing. President Taft deserves equal credit for his courteous treatment of the Black Cabinet and for listening to their advice. We take off our hats to both the Black Cabinet and President Taft. Why can't the Negroes of New York have a bank—four banks—one in Brooklyn, one in the central Broadway district, one in Harlem and one in The Bronx? We have the people and they have the money. One real estate agent absoil should capitalize a bank in Harlem. ```markdown ``` The Rev. J. M. Connor of Fort Smith, Ark., is an aspirant for the bishopric and has the indorsement of Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma. He is spoken of very favorably by many of the delegates as are the Rev. John Hurst, and the Rev. W. W. Beckett. W J Fehlsam J. P Bond have established the Southern Business College at Birmingham, Ala. They will give the Negro boys and girls a thorough business training and afterwards place them in paying positions. An interesting booklet has been issued by them which can be had on application for writing them at Birmingham, Ala. Bishop Evans Tyrex, who succeeds the late Bishop Wesley John Gaines as Presiding Bishop of the First Episcopal District, which includes New York, is said to be a very strong man with a level head. We hope so. No other sort of Bishop is fit or capable to preside over the conferences of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. And in order to do fullest justice to the many and weighty interests of those conferences Bishop Evans Tyrex should reside in the District of which they are the units. Baltimore. Pittsburgh and other cities have revived their blue laws, which make it an offense to sell anything on Sunday. Spasms of crime and spasms of virtue go often together at the same time and place, and by their absurdity and violence destroy each other. People don't need too much nor too little law and government; they need just enough and that common sense, which has no spasms, should suggest. Sunday was made for man, not man for Sunday. It should be unlawful, however, to sell liquors on Sunday or any other day; that is common sense, but to say that a man shall not buy a load of bread or a newspaper on Sunday, that is foolish. In a recent issue of This All we referred to the rule adopted by the authorities of Annapolis Naval Academy limiting the amount of candy the cadets may buy, and then only on the grounds. We suggested that candy eating was not good for naval cadets, as it weakens rather than strengthens the physical man. Now, it is now announced large numbers of middshipmen have failed to pass in the examinations, and the average percentage required has had to be reduced in order to allow them to remain in the school course. A generation of candy eaters and gum chewers are bound to be physical weaklings. We live in a wonderful age. The Yale Alumni of Chicago, at their annual dinner in the Hotel Blackstone, in Chicago, Listened to an hour's address by President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale University in New Haven, Conn.

Atwood thinks he has a machine in which he can cross the Atlantic in thirty hours, and hopes to make the attempt in May. If you are a sleep, wake up It looks as if Rev. Severely C. Ransom will be elected to succeed Dr. H. T Kealing as editor of the *H. M. E. Church Review*. And why not change the name of it to the *The Bible Review*? As a scholar and orator and as instant in good works, Dr. Ransom has endearled himself to his good people of Bethel and to the good people of New York. If he is elected editor and makes his office of publication and home in New York he will do a wise thing. We desire to direct some of the attention of the renders of The Aux to the statement made to the members of the Empire Federation of Women's Club, published in The Act of February 8 by Dr. James Edward Mason, on the condition and needs of Mrs. Harriet Tubman, who is in the Tubman Home at Auburn, N. Y. The statement, like most that Dr. Mason speaks or writes, is very eloquent with truth, and with admiration for the grand old women who is now quite one hundred years old, but has a clear mind and an undiminished interest in the race to which she gave the best years and efforts of her life. But the words of Dr. Mason were not more eloquent, more helpful, than the check for $10 which he sent to the committee with his statement to assist them in the provision they are making for the physical well-being and comfort of Mrs. Tubman. Dr. Mason is quite right in asking why the Federation should be left alone to provide for Mrs. Tubman, who should have the race of 10,000,000 to do it for her; but it is a good and patriotic work that the Federation has undertaken, and it should not only hold fast the good work but be encouraged to do so, not with words only but with checks, great and small, that will help to pay for the service and the things Mrs. Tubman needs to make her comfortable. It is a glorious thing to take care of the old and infirm of the home; those who have borne the heat and burden of the years that their children might have abundantly of the things they need to make them good and useful members of society; it is a glorious thing for the children to do, to "honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long in the land that God gives you." The families in which this rule is a law are among the strongest in their race life, in their tribal life, in their family life, in their national life. The observance of the law has been most serpulously observed in the building and maintenance of the Christian homes of Europe and America. The obligation to make life pleasant and comfortable for Mrs. Tubman is a race obligation. The Women's Federation is the proper body to have the care of Mrs. Tubman's welfare and keeping, but the money they need with which to do it is a race obligation, and the race should not shirk it. Money for this purpose may be sent in care of Tug Aor, which will turn it over to the Federation. REPUDIATE ATTACK. At a recent meeting in Philadelphia called to protest against lynching, William A. Sinclair, M. D., went out of his way to make certain uncomplimentary references to Dr. Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute. Information comes to use from Philadelphia that letters have been written by Dr. William A. Credit, Dr. Charles H. Brooks, Dr. E. W. Moore and John E. Milholland to Dr. Booker T. Washington, repudiating Sinclair's uncalled-for attacks and remarks, and in addition to that a letter has been addressed to the Public Ledger of Philadelphia by Dr. Moore and Dr. Creditt repudiating the Sinclair statements. The card from Dr. Moore and Dr. Crediti is as follows: To the Editor of the *Pioneer Ledger*: Mr. W. mistaken idea has been regarded regarding the church on Monday evening, February 12. The pastor of the church, Dr. E. W. Moore, stated that the object of the meeting was to have the impression that the meeting was a protest meeting against Booker T. Washington. This was by no means true. The reports received the impression that of William M. D., who did say something against the leadership of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He was, however, simply expressing his own views and did not voice the sentiments of any other E. W. MOORE. Pastor of Zion Baptist church WILLIAM A. CRICKETT Pastor of First African Baptist church Dr. Sinclair, as usual, seems to be taking care of himself. People very generally resent being characterized as any sort of animal, and yet most of them have the race traits and tendencies, and often the facial outlines, of some sort of animal. The Republican party has long been designated as the elephant and the Democratic party as the donkey, commonly styled ass. For some unexplainable reason the Democratic party seems upon the verge of changing the party mascot from the patient donkey, the ass to the canine the dog, which the daily cartoonists, following the lead of so Ozark poet, spell "dawg." Call it what they may, spell it as they will, the Democratic party looks, the same and talks the same all of the time, learning nothing and forgetting nothing, a millstone about the neck of American politics. --- Within a few months both the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church will be electing new Bishops. Both of these great organizations have reached the point where public sentiment is demanding that they be exceedingly careful in the type of men that they elect as Bishops. Mistakes have been made in the past and should not be repeated. While some fine men have been put upon the Bench of Bishops, some very weak, inefficient and unworthy men have gotten on the Bench of Bishops. No man who is using political methods, who is going about the country advocating his own cause is worthy of the Bishopric. In this case the office should seek the man and not the man the office. No man is worthy, to fill the place who lends himself to low, political methods in advancing his interests. Some new blood is demanded in both church organizations. This means that courage and frankness should be employed in the election of the new Bishops. Col. Roosevelt's Columbus address is seven columns long and 10,500 words radically revolutionary, from start to finish. John S.

MENSON'S BOOK ON TRIP TO POLE (From the New York Sun.) One of the most interesting of the spring's authors from many points of view is Matthew Henson, whose book, "A Negro Explorer at the North Pole," contains the only personal account other than Peery's that will ever be written of the climax of the expedition. It is significant, as Peery has said, that several races were represented on the day of the discovery. "It is an interesting fact," he said, "that in the final conquest of the prize of the centuries' not alone individuals but races were represented. On that bitter brilliant day in April 1800 at the north pole Caucasian, Ethiopian and Mongolian stood by side at the apex of the earth in the harmonious companionship resulting from hard exposure, danger and a common object. "Henson, son of the tropics, has proven through years his ability to stand tropical, temperate and the fiercest stress of frigid climate and extrema well known that the inhabitants of the highest north, and hardy as they are to the rigors of their own climate, succumb very quickly to the vagaries of even a temperate climate. Is it a book of good books, surpassing one of will power or is the difference in the climatic conditions themselves?" Henson, the author, who throughout his book shows a love and knowledge of good books, surpassing one of will power or is the difference in the restrictions imposed by his twenty years of hardship in exploration, does not in appearance show any evidence of extreme hardship. Though virile enough to reach the pole with Pearl, he has not been able to things resembling him, but a smallish, quiet, observant sort of man. He is well knit, quick of movement and clear of eye—like a trained runner. He wears eyeglasses, carries himself like a comrade, and shows an efficiency and ease coming from long association with big men. There were always a few books along on the exploring expeditions, and I was very proud of the book that did Pearls's Negro companion. He tells of the little library on board the Roosevelt during the last polar journey. "Out on the ice of the polar ocean," he says, "as far as reading matter went, I think Dr. Goodell had a very small set of Shakespeare, and I know that I had a Holy Bible. The others were books of reading matter with them, but they did not read it out loud, and so I am not in a position to say what their literary tastes were. I never knew there was quite an extensive library, especially on Arctic and Antarctic topics, but as it was in the commander's cabin it was not heavily patronized. In my own home I read the book of Kipling's *Barrack Room Rishad*, and the poems of Thomas Hood; also a copy of the Holy Bible which had been given to me by a dear old lady in Northward Over the Great Ice, and his last work, *Nearest the Pole*. "During the long dreary midnight of the Arctic winter I spent many a pleasant hour with my books. I also took my book to the library in 1890 and 1898, for in the regions of noonday darkness and midnight daylight, a calendar is absolutely necessary, but mostly I had rougher things to do. In his book the English used by this Negró, who had only six years of schooling in his life, shows the influence of his constant reading of classical literature. The book is no better cultivator of a literary style than the Bible, and the work of Henson would seem to bear the statement out. Shakespeare is there, too, and he was most actively on the author's part. For instance. "We forced the doxus," he writes, "and they took it on the run, the ice undulating beneath them the same as the snow, and the snow under it at tuckey benders, often with serious results, on the newly formed ice on ponds and brooks down in civilization. Our tuckey benders were not done in the winter, but on account of urgent necessity." "He died alone, he passed into the great unknown alone, bravely and honorably, he writes with Biblical simplicity, he writes with Christian simplicity, Prof. Marvin. He is the last of Earth's great martyrs, he is home, his work is done, he is where he joined to be the Sailor is Home in the Sea. It is sad to write in his.

His home with his uncle in that city, He began life as a cabin boy on a ocean steamship and before he met his wife, he had already made a voyage to China. He was eighteen when he met the Arctic explorer and he has been his companion for twenty-three years. He is a graduate of books and got a practical understanding of everything that is a necessary part of daily life! In the loebound wildernesses of polar exploration he saw a blacksmith a carpenter and a cook. He became thoroughly acquainted with the life, customs and language of the Alaskan timbermen which the journey to the pole was successfully completed. He could not only drive a dog team or skin a musk ox, but was something of a master of the woods made him not only the most trusted member of the expedition ANNOUNCEMENT The Negro Year Book, which will shortly be published under the auspices of the Tuskegee Normal Institute, has been planned to meet the growing demand from all parts of the country and some parts of the old world for accurate and concise information in regard to the history and progress of the Negro race. This book has grown out of a systematic attempt to supply that demand. It is intended to be a useful aid to the institutes that have come to the institute and have been turned over to the Department of Research, of which Monroe N. Work, the author of this work, is the head, for reply. When published the book will contain 400 and 500 closely printed pages, summarizing as far as possible all the information available regard to existing conditions. It will also contain a list of articles and publications of various sorts, carefully arranged, to give the reader who desire further information that can be provided in a mere book of reference. Among the subjects to which reference is made in this volume are: 'A Review of the Negro in 1511.' 'The Economic Progress of the Negro. "The Negro in the Religious Field "Negro Education" "Night Soldiers and Heroes." A Chronicle: History of the Near East in America. The Year Book will be bound in paper, printed in a clear, legible type, and the information has been arranged in a course systematic form so as to make it easy to read. The book may not be published as a business venture although it may be so later, provided it is a sufficient number of readers. In order to determine whether there is a need to warrant its continued publication in succeeding years a price of 25 cents has been charged upon its postage costs. A considerable reduction will be made in the prices of books. Adrian Emmett J. Scott Tissot Presses Ala.

See Starling, Care about the Ame ```markdown ``` a special meeting of the Clef Club, held February 19, at the club's headquarters, 134 W. 53d street, where was attended by nearly one hundred members, the feasibility of erecting a large and modern club house was discussed, and those present pledged themselves to co-operate in every way to raise sufficient funds so as to be able to commence building by the spring of 1944. There is in the treasury of the Chelf Cash $5,000, most of which has been mined by giving symphony concerts which entertainments have been generously patronized by the public. There are 210 members in the organization, and since the meeting on February 19, each has pledged to give from $25 up in the interest of the building fund, the amount subscribed to be paid into the treasury within one year. The members expect to raise quite a sum by giving ! JAMES REESE EUROPE President of the GCL Club two symphony concerts yearly. The next annual concert by the Chel Club Symphony Orchestra will be given either May 11 or 23. Although no definite plans have been made relative to the site or the erection of the building, the members giving most of their attention at this time to the raising of funds, it is estimated that the proposed building, including the price paid for the plot of ground, will cost about $165,000. When built the clubhouse will be the headquarters for the colored musicians of Greater New York, and an opportunity will be afforded the members to further their musical education, if desired. The majority of members of the Clet Club are musicians who furnish entertainment at the leading hotels and cafes of New York City and come in contact with the best white people. Their work consists mainly in entertaining private parties given at such places as the Waldorf-Astoria, Sherry, Delmonico's, Martina, Rectors, Hotel Astor and the Ritz-Carlton. All of these entertainers are members of the Clet Club. The preamble of the Clet Club is: "In order to inculcate the science of vocal and instrumental music, to promote greater efficiency among its members in art, technique, and execution of vocal and instrumental music, and to promote good fellowship and social intercourse, we, the members of said organization have established, organized, and incorporated the Clet Club of the City of New York." The Clef Club is arranging to give a recital at the Hippodrome on or about April 21, under the auspices of the Negro Settlement School Fund. Some of the prominent colored vocal and instrumental soloists in the country will appear on this occasion, and all the music played and sung will be by Negro composers. The Negro Settlement School was founded a little over a year ago to advance the Negro of New York City along musical lines. The officers of the Board of Directors are: F. L.

At the big meeting in the interest of Hampton Institute, held Monday evening at Carnegie Hall, Dr. H. B. Frissell principal of the institute, spoke on "Negro and Indian Folklore," saying in part, "The children of the enamcated slaves were generally taught to forget all that reminded them of the long years of race bondage and the more enlightened of their children are only just awakening to the fact that in forgetting those old spirituals, or religions songs, they are allowing a priceless inheritance to slip away from them. The Indians, although not so prone to despise that which is exclusively their own, have been inclined to guard it jealously from the scrutiny of the white man, and therefore many of their traditions, songs, customs, and crafts, have been permanently lost. The present-day Indian indulgedly owes his retentive memory, his quick ear, and his feet clot, chiefly to the ancestors who memorized the long stories and the detail of the complex ceremonies, and whose strenuous physical training developed suppleness and endurance." Dr. Russell showed the relation of music to the individual and tribal life of the Indian. He outlined also the relation of the plantation songs to the American Negro. "Each race of mankind" he said in conclusion, "has its own peculiar richness and each must contribute something to the civilization of the world. We do not want to make white men of the Indians and Negroes but we do want to help them rise to the best that is in them in order that their gifts to civilization may be scorchy of this great land." CRESCENT THEATRE. There is no question as to who is the most talked of man in Harlem today among the women folks. Members of the gentle sex, both young and old, have been indisputably talking about Baby Jim, who is in his second week at the Crescent Theatre. Last week Baby Jim certainly went big, his appearance at the Crescent being responsible for the breaking of records from the standpoint of attendance. The men must not get jealous because the wongen have made such a press over Baby Jim, for the females regard him more as a monstrosity than a Romeo. Some woman was heard to remark the other day that Baby Jim, with his seven hundred and old pounds must have been born before the existence of the best trust. The best act on the bill at the Crescent Theatre this week is the Dalman man. These three men are versatile potentmets, and their centre act is entertaining.

Funeral services over the remains of the late Dated Avery of the well known train of Avery and Hart, who died Friday evening at the Kansas Desert Presbyterian congregation were held from the interment of rooms of Mrs. Marian L. Anderson, 2293 Seventh avenue, Sunday evening. The theatrical profession was well represented, and the many floral tributes gave evidence of the esteem in which the deceased had been held as a performer. The Roy Edward Howard, assistant tector of St. Cipriani's Church, and chaplain of the Colored Vanderille Benefit Association of which the deceased was a member, spoke over the remains. Miss Maude Jones and Lawrence Chevault sang solos, with James Reece Europe acting as accompanist. After the services the remains were shipped to Navasota; Tex., the home of the deceased, where he is survived by a mother, brothers and sisters. His widow, Mrs. Alfreda Avery, whom he married four years ago, resides in New York. The death of Daniel Avery marks the dissolution of the widely known vaudeville team of Avery and Hart. For thirteen years the two colored comedians were partners, and at the death of Mr. Avery they were receiving more money than any other colored team in vaudeville. The act was always a big hit in the East, particularly at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre. Daniel Avery, who was 34 years old left his home in Texas when quite coming to become a member of Richard and Pringles' Minstrels. He later appeared in vaudeville with his first wife, Lizzie Avery, and they were also seen in Hyde and Beeman's Show and the Great Lafayette Show. Mr. Avery then entered partnership with Charles Hart, and they starred in Black Patti's Trumbours, succeeding Ernest Hogan. After appear- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily pixelated area with no discernible content. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. ing in vaudeville they were next seen in "The Soons of Ham" under the management of Hurtig and Seamon. In 1906 Avery and Hart were the stars at the Shaftsbury Theatre, London, in their own company in "In, Dahomey," remaining abroad twenty-six months. Returning to the United States the comedians again entered vaudeville, and in the United Booking Offices the team was regarded as a standard act. Daniel Avery was the straight man of the team. Charles Hart has not made any definite plans for the future. BLACK PATTI CO. The Black Patti Company, after making a very successful tour through the Southland, is now making rapid strides towards home and within a few weeks the show will open in Washington, DC, the first of a number of week stands in the East, which will include Baltimore, Boston, Newark, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Atlantic City and possibly Cleveland, Detroit and New York City. While two days through the South one finds conditions regarding the colored performer quite different from that of a year ago. At first I was at a loss to account for the evodus of the colored performers from the North into the Southern States, but upon investigation I found the reason was that in almost every city of the South there is at least one vaudeville house playing from two to two acts, and these acts play in one house two or three months at a fair salary. In Jacksonville, Fla., at one house there were sixteen colored acts on one bill. They gave two shows at night and the last act went on at 5.15 next morning. Julius Glenn and Tillie Seguin-Bledseaux are scoring heavily in their respective parts, and have become decided favorites, in the South, both, receiving press notices in such papers as the Atlanta Constitution, Tampa News and New Orleans Pictaville. Our chorus has been strengthened by the addition of three dashing soubrettes, Lela Mitchell, Beatrice Moore and Helen Bowman. Z. B. MAJ. MOTON INDORSES THEATRE Many prominent Negroes throughout the country have indorsed the plan to erect a theatre to be managed by Negroes in New York City. The latest indorsment is from Mar. R R Moonton, Commandant at Hampton Institute. This is what Mat. Moton has to say, "I most heartily indorse the movement to build a theatre in New York where colored people could see the performances of their own race and feel that they were absolutely welcome. I think also that it would be an encouragement to the large and increasing number of colored performers to feel that their own race could witness unharmed and without humiliation their presentations. A theatre such as is contemplated would in all probability bring before the public scores of talented men and women who have ability along this line, who would otherwise never have an opportunity. I have no doubt that people who are willing to put money in such a venture would find a very profitable investment, and I hereby commend and congratulate those who are leading the project." THE ATTUCKS THEATRE To the Dramatic Editor of True Act Because Crispins Attucks was the first to shed his blood for a freedom that millions now en w. Because, secondly, Massachusetts has banned the sacred memory of Attucks not only by a statute but also by an appropriate inscription. Because, thrillly, the Negro cannot afford to do less for his heroes and leaders than his brother in white; Because, in the fourth place, the name Attucks - reminding the American white man of his former oppression - should inspire him to let down the bar of prejudice and welcome his brother in black to the realm of a liberty that is not bridled, and a freedom that is real. Finally, because people of all races and classes will patronize the public institution, and Attucks, a martyr for the revolutionary cause, died alike for all who now enjoy that freedom—whether rich or poor, black or white. Hence, the Attucks Theatre would ever stand a movement for a righteous cause—the cause of liberty and freedom, the cause for which the Negro pleads to-day, but seemingly in vain. Respectfully, DR. CHARLES HENRY PHILLIPS, JR. St. Louis, Mo. LEVY APPEALS DECISION. Notice of appeal was served on the District Attorney Monday in the Baldwin case in which Assistant Manager Levy of the Lyric Theatre was fined for discriminating on account of color. The District Attorney will appear personally for the People and Assistant District Attorneys/Robert C. Taylor and Cornelius W. McDouglas with him on the brief. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Hampton Humbles Howard 19 to 16. On the evening of February 22, the basketball team of Hampton Institute defeated the strong quint of Howard University by the score of 19 to 16 at Hampton. The game was the most interesting and exciting ever witnessed in that section. The teams were equally matched. Howard was the more experienced team, having played together for the last two years in many games, but the speed, endurance and accuracy in goal tossing of the Hampton quintet enabled them to humble their opponents. Hampton succeeded in making the first score and kept the lead until the last two minutes of the play in which the score was tied. In the five-minute period which was given to play the tie off the store was tied the second time, but in the last minute of play the Institute boys took on new life, scoring three points. The sound of the timekeeper's whistle ended a contest that will be long remembered in the annals of basketball among colored teams. The playing of both teams at times was brilliant, sending thrills and chills to the hearts of their sympathizers. The defeat came as a great surprise to the followers of Howard University, as she held the championship for the past two years. Both teams were captained by excellent players who played together as boys around New York and Jersey City. Oliver, Howard's captain, who is known among the lovers of the game as a star, played a fine game, but did not live up to his reputation, as he made only one goal during the contest. Gilmore, Howard's center, played a star game but only caged one goal. His inability to do more was due to the close guarding of Shelton. Brown, captain of Hampton's quintet, Gayle and Johnson were in every play and prevented the mighty machine of Howard from working effectively. Gray, Howard's great athlete, who has prevented his opponents from scoring in games played for the last two years, allowed Gurnoe to perform the feat. Both teams made a number of fouls Howard had fourteen called and Hampton twelve The game was clean and hard throughout but the spirit that manifested itself throughout the entire game on the part of both teams was commendable The line-up Howard University Hampton Institute Winthrop L.

The Spartan A C girls of Brooklyn journeyed to Washington C C and sustained their first defeat of the season Friday evening at True Referees' Hall losing to the Y W C in a count by the score of 11 to 6. The Brooklyn girls were outwreighed in several instances girls of 100 pounds played against Washingtonians weighing from 130 to 145 pounds. The game was played under the V. A. U rules for men, except that the halves were shorter and the court of smaller dimensions than the regulation size. Playing before the capacity house of the season, the girls exhibited no stair fright, and were thunderously applauded for good points in playing. The Brooklyn girls were also handcapped by playing on a strange court. They would have put up a far more telling struggle if the court had been larger, for their speed and experience would have netted them more. The Y. W. C. A. girls were in splendid condition, and were able to rough it up in genuine boy style. B. Henderson of Washington handled the game to the best interest of sport and in favor of conditions of girl play. Lenience in the interpretation of the rules was necessary. Spartan C. C. Y. W. C. A. E.

M. Montague. Coming from the South a little more than fifteen years ago, unknown and practically unassisted, Montague has made a strict application to duties and responsibilities as they confronted him, slowly but surely made his way to the front.

Montague is doing a mortgage loan and stock investment business. It is not the mortgage business which causes Mr. Montague to attract so much attention, as there are already following this line of business.

He has敏捷ly fought his way to a THE MISSING MAN Vantage point where he has won the admiration and assistance of some of the leading powers in the street. The man has its efforts. The man has its perseverance. A large number of satisfied customers who have followed his conservative and conscientious advice and profited thereby. A Montague is also known to nearly all Montague employees of the street, among whom he has many customers. After the business and wars of the day, Mr. Montague returned to the street, with his wife and four bright children, three boys and a girl. He is active in every movement on Long Island for the uplift and adoration of the poor, the child and officer of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Flushing, L. I.; a member of several benevolent and fraternal orders, on the executive board and secretary of the local business league New York. Mr. Montague has recently moved his office from 82 Wall street to 7 Pine street, with an entrance through 6 Wall street, where he is in close touch with the house of an affluent world. He is making an effort to inhabit the in the business world for himself and his race. He is being tutored, encouraged and assisted by one of the largest banking and brokerage houses in Wall street.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 27.—The graduates and former students of Fisk University have organized themselves for a special financial rally on May 1. The occasion of the rally is a $60,000 gift by the General Education Board of New York City to Fisk University on condition that $240,000 more be raised by October, 1912. Something over $125,000 of the latter amount has been raised or pledged and serious efforts are being put forth by the trustees of the school to get the balance. As the alumni and former students of Fisk are scattered by the hundreds all over the country they are putting forth energies in all their localities to raise the $25,000 that they have fixed upon as the special contribution they desire to make toward the fund. Thomas J. Calloway, a graduate of Fisk University, with headquarters at 1335 T street, N. W., Washington, D. C., is the secretary and active manager of this special effort among the Fisk alumni.

Think about it—preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it so. Water has to be hardened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is untrue because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from falling out; positively removes dandruff; provides relief from itching; and will keep it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that is claimed for it or money refunded. We will send to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. We shall send a money order or express money order.

Los Angeles California WILLIAMSPORT, PA. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Feb. 28.—Not even the weather, with the thermometer at 2 above, and with the streets in such an急 condition that made them almost impassable, prevented the people from turning out Thursday evening, February 22, to hear Bishop Alexander Walters of New York speak at the fourth of a series of lectures being conducted under the auspices of the Young Men's Categorical Club, at Bethel A. M. E. Church, the Rev. Dr. G. W. Williams, pastor. In order to show their appreciation and the esteem in which the Bishop is held here, every colored church in the city closed its doors on Thursday evening, and all Washington birthday receptions were called off, so that every one could hear the Bishop. The subject of the Bishop's discourse was, "Open and closed doors." Needless to state, the same was eloquently delivered. Friday evening the Bishop delivered two addresses, one at Salem A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. M. L. Blalock, pastor, and at Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Rev. J. W. Thompson, pastor, and a good audience greeted the Bishop at both churches. The funeral of the late Robert Scott, who died at his home on Center street, Saturday morning. February 24, of pneumonia, was held Monday afternoon at 2:30 p. m. at Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Rev. J. W. Thompson officiating. Mrs. G. W. Williams, wife of the Rev. G. W. Williams, pastor of Bethel A. M. E.

"First in war, first in peace and first in the great sentence that the admirer of our country's greatest President gave him. But, Toussaint L'Ouverture was greater than Napoleon as a warrior, the equal of Gladstone in brains, and unsurpassed by any living man in kindness, goodness and generosity to his own race whom he freed from the bonds of slavery. He never saw an army until forty years of age, yet he put to flight the proudest blood of Europe, the Spanish, and sent them home conquered; he fought the greatest country of Europe, the English, and cost that country the lives of fifty-five thousand men and one hundred million dollars he fought the most formidable country of Europe, the French, against Napoleon! cost France the lives of forty thousand and fifty million dollars. The secret of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the worlds greatest Statesman, Soldier and Martyrs's success has been revealed by a member of his own family. He claims that it was the Power of Magnetism produced by Toussaint having in his possession two Loadstones instead of one. More information regarding these wonderful emblems of luck is told in a book entitled, "The Loadstone, Mother Of Magnetism" which was originally published to be sold for $1.00.
