SCORED BY JUDGE MOORE Head of Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co. told He Should be sent to Sing Sing Couserler Perry Says There Will be Other Prosecutions -- Company Appealed to Religious Sentiment. John H. Atkins, head of the defunct Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, was sentenced to one year in jail and fined $5.00 on the charge of conspiracy to cheat and defraud by Judge Joseph L. Moore of the County Court at Brooklyn Monday. Atkins was found guilty by a jury Wednesday, April 24, and County Judge Moore reserved decision until Monday. In sentencing Atkins, Judge Moore referred to the manner in which the officers of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company had swindled hundreds of people out of large sums of money, and in passing sentence, said: [Signature] You have been found guilty of a mean and contemptible swindle and have defrauded the members of your race out of thousands of dollars. While I am giving you the limit of sentence—a year on Blackwell's island and a fine of $500—I only wish it were possible that I could send you to Sing Sing. It is the first time it has ever pertinence that I have sent my another lawyer to jail, but you are deserving of the punishment meted out, in fact, you should get more. Immediately after sentence was passed on Atkins he was taken to the rogue's gallery, and although he pro-posed to siting for his picture, he was snapped despite his vigorous protest. The convicted president of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company has been assigned to the baking department and will fill out his term as a baker. If he does not pay the $500 fine Atkins will be compelled to remain on Blackwell's Island and work out the fine, which will prolong his term a year and a half, making two years and a half in aid. Edward A. Freshman, Assistant District Attorney of Kings County, and Counselor Rufus L. Perry successfully conducted the case against Atkins and secured his conviction. Save Investors Should Investigate. Commenting on Atkins' conviction, Assistant District Attorney Freshman said to an Ace representative: "The developments of the case and its final outcome not only serve as a warning to evildoers of the class of Atkins, but equally serve as a warning to the people who are easily taken in on the representations of people in the manner that they make money without working and that their schemes are just as safe as a bank and produce twice the return. "Those who have saved their money which they have earned by the hardest kind of work, hearing of this case, will hesitate before they buy 'building lots' without searching the title, 'gold bonds' without examining the security behind the bonds, and stock that has nothing behind it except profit." Counselor Rufus "who represents the bank or more clients in the Atkins case, stated directly after sentence was passed on the defendant that the conviction of Atkins would not stop further investigations into the peculiar business activities." The New COUNSELOR R. L. PERRY "One of the most important developments of the case was the disclosure of the way the clergy has been used to promote the sale of lots, stock and other worthless stuff of the realty company," stated Counselor Perry to an Ace representative. "Clergymen were hired at a salary and on commission to act as agents of the company and they sold to their parishioners in large amounts. In every way from serving on the so-called 'Advisory Board' to almost preaching the excellence of the company from the pulpits they drew in their people by hundreds. Appeal to Relidious Sentiment "The real company set out in the beginning to use the deep religious sentiment of the people they were addressing. In the private instructions to agents which was produced upon the trial to the utter dismay of Atkins and his lawyers. It reads as follows: If the party approached has little or no conception of business, some other method will have to be applied; for instance, if a party approached is especially religious, it will be necessary to become to some extent interested in the same matter interested in, that is, in ways that are interested in you and your proposition. This has been known to work satisfactorily nine out of every ten cases. "Every possible objection was made to reading the paper to the jury, but when it was finally read the case was substantially over. Everyone knew that no honest company or honest officers would use such a dastardly method to impose on the inexperienced, trusting and pious people. However, one witness testified that he thought such instructions were proper and justifiable 'because other companies did it.' The witness was Le Roy Butler, now and formerly a Frybister clergyman. From the testimony given at the Atkins trial it is estimated that the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company secured between $300,000 and $400,000 from Negroes who purchased stock in the concern. Second Criminal Conviction. The sentence of Atkins marks the second criminal conviction of an officer of the company, L. C. Collins, secretary of the realty company, having been convicted of lacey in New York County and sentenced to one year's imprisonment on Blackwell's island a few weeks ago. Prior to the trial there had been some tendency to criticise the delay in bringing on the trial of Atkins, but by the time the trial was over those present realized the vast amount of preparatory work necessary before the actual trial could be commenced. In preparing the case, the district attorney saw and talked to over fifty witnesses an examined hundreds of documents, other deeds and receipts. All of this evidence, personal and documentary, had to be gone over, arranged and put in such order as could enable the jury to understand the complicated transactions of the company. Story of Realty Company Complicated. The story of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company is so complicated and long that only a brief synopsis of what occurred and appeared on the trial can be related. The indictment against Atkins alleged his conspiracy with L. C. Collins, secretary; P. Sheridan Ball, president; to cheat and defraud Robert Stewart by selling him property in Rahway, N. J., which they represented to him was free and clear, and by giving him a deed upon his final payment which contained a statement that there was no mortgage on the property. These facts were soon established upon the trial, but in order to show Atkins' connection and that it was isolated case, the People proved about a dozen similar transactions. As the case progressed the testimony and documentary evidence became startling. The story of the two Rahway lots, now completely told, is as follows: Atkins arranged to buy the property through a man by the name of Wolfe, who was the printer of the realty company and who undoubtedly did most of the printing work for Atkins and his accomplices. Wolfe paid about $15,000 for the acreage and gave back a mortgage for about $9,000, the balance of the money being supplied by Atkins. Atkins took title at CHARITY BALL HELD AT MANHATTAN CASINO Entertainment and Ball Given by Doctors Thursday a Success PLAN TO BUILD HOSPITAL Ground will Soon be Purchased in Harlem—Physicians Hope to Open Hospital in Eighteen Months. Thursday evening, April 25, the doctors were much in evidence at Manhattan Casino, when the charity ball was given under the auspices of the McDonough Memorial Hospital Association. A large and representative galaxy of citizens turned out and give financial and moral support in the haudable effort being made to provide the colored citizen being served with a Capital. An enjoyable vaudeville hill was presented during the evening by artists who volunteered their services, some of the leading singers of the race taking part. Among those appearing were J. Francis Mores, Miss Abbie Mitchell, Miss Inez Clough, Mme. Daisy Tapley, Miss Mazie Bush, the Harper-Smith Trio, the Florida Trio, and a Japanese illusionist. Melville Charlton was accompanist. The program was under the direction of R. C. McPherson. Dr. D. Ivison Hoage introduced Dr. Allan B. Graves, president of the McDonough Memorial Hospital Association, who told of the need of a hospital in New York for colored people, and the charity co-operation of the colored citizens. It is the aim of the association to open a hospital in Harlem within the next eighteen months. The members are now looking for a suitable plot of ground on which to build. The doctors interested in the proposed hospital are receiving the support of the leading white physicians and surgeons of the city. Assurance of financial aid has been given, many charitably inclined white citizens withholding their contribution until it is learned what the colored people are going to do. Among the colored physicians deeply interested in the proposed Dr. P. Jobin, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Dr. Allan B. Graves, Dr. Robert Taylor, Dr. H. M. Griffin, Dr. Gustavus Henderson, Dr. James E. Cabanis, Dr. E. Rollis, Dr. D. Ivison Hoage, Dr. Charles Roberts, Dr. Gertrude E. Curtis, Dr. Alfred Robinson, and Dr. R. C. Fraser. OHIOANS OUT FOR TAFT Prominent Negress Working for President's Renamination - Primaries To Be Hold in May and Indications are that Taft Will be Winner. Special to The New York Ace CINCINNATI, O., April 30.—Never were political conditions in this state as at present. This is due largely to the interjection of Col. Roosevelt of himself into the political arena. His announcement that his "is in the ring" was followed by his "Ohio managers tossing campaign funds into the ring with the result that colored graffers who four years ago, for pelf; were denouncing the colonel are now demanding him for the nominee. The great mass of the colored voters of the State are for President Taft. He has grown in their estimation. They believe him honest, and they believe that he is a sincere, though not a spectacular, friend of the race. Outside of such colored voters who are for sale to the highest bidder, whether the bidders be factions in the Republican party or the Democratic party, the colored vote of Ohio will be cast at the primaries here next month for the renomination of President Taft. In every reality where the Negro votes are quantity and a factor that vote will be with the President. The more they reflect upon his appointments of colored men, and his retention of colored men in the public service the more they regard him as the best and safest man for the race. Do Not Favor Recall Issue. Col. Roosevelt's espousal of the recall of decisions, which came to the extreme under the Ohio system of secret voting, could be used to disfranchise every colored voter in the State, has caused the colored people of Ohio to fear him. This city, the home of President Taft, is full of Taft sentiment. Every other city, town and hamlet in the State, with the possible exception of Columbus, is teeming with Taft sentiment among the colored voters. At Columbus a petty ward boss by the name of Karabur, whom it is placed in possession of large sums of money to corrupt the floating colored vote, is endeavoring to swing the colored vote against the President. Latest reports reaching here is to the effect that the same colored vote of Columbus will not follow this selfish, corrupt boss. Every colored man in the State known to be working against President Taft is known to be on the pay roll of the anti-Taft forces. And not one of these can control a vote outside of his own. It is a ragged army of colored graffers that is fighting against Taft. Such prominent men as Joseph L. Jones, Gen. W. Hayes, Lee Benty, Phil Dulahney, W. L. Anderson and others are force- able characters and useful men of influence among their people are for Taft Words come from Chewand that Hou. John P. Greenbush. W. R. Green. Goo A. Myers. W. Blue. Thos W. Fleming. and many other who are of real credit to their race, and real benefit to their race, are our President Taft. In Dayton and Springfield, localities that contain a large number of colored voters, the colored men, almost to a man, are for the President. Attorneys Miles Jones and Thomas Norris, Mose Moore and Mr. Bell, proprietor of the Hotel Bell, are among the colored men of Dayton leading the fight for the renomination of President Taft. At Springfield, David Wilborn, Charles Timbers, Col. L. M. Hatcher, Z. R. Jackson, Forest Breaks and James Wilson are among the prominent Negroes who are for Taft. All of these men have a big footing of reputable Negroes who believe that the President has earned a discrimination and election. In spite of the big shush fund the opposition has to corrupt the corruptable colored voters, can be set down with difficulty, but the decision that Ohio colored vote will be actually unanimous for Taft delegates to the National Convention. And the Boston speech of President Taft last week, in which he showed that, tired of misrepresentation and unfounded and unfair assaults, his fighting blood was up, has electrified Ohio voters, and now even the doubtful land disinterested white voters are flooding to the Taft standard. Ohio has grown tired of the Colonel's assaults upon his favorite son. LINCOLN'S PRECHES DISTORTED Son of Martyred President Written to President Taft Declaring that Roosevelt is Changing Lincoln's Speeches—Reference to Dred Scott Decision. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.—In a letter to President Taft, Robert T. Lincoln, son of the martyred President, complains that Theodore Roosevelt is distorting the speeches of Abraham Lincoln to uphold doctrines which, if alive, he would abhor. Mr. Lincoln's letter: "The government under which my father lived was, as it is now, a republic, or representative democracy, checked by the Constitution, which can be changed by the people but only when by methods other than democracy and exclude so far as is possible the effect of passionate and shortsighted impulse. A government in which the checks of an established constitution are actually, or practically omitted—one in which the people act in a mass directly on all questions and not through their chosen representatives—is an unchecked democracy, an unchecked democracy of danger as shown by history, that it has ceased to exist except in communities small and concentrated as to space. A New England town meeting may be good, but such a government in a large city or State would be chaos. "As I understand it, the essence of Mr. Roosevelt's proposals is that we shall adopt the latter form of government in place of the existing form. This, in simple words, is a proposed revolution, peaceful, perhaps, but a revolution. In support of these revolutionary doctrines, which, if successful, would abolish the form and the spirit of our existing government, and surely, I think, lead to attempted dictatorships, resort is had to what is claimed to be the words and teachings of President Lincoln himself. "President Lincoln wrote many letters made many public addresses, and was the author of many documents. I do not know of the existence in any of them of a word of censure, or of complaint of our 'government, or of the methods by which it was carried on. He was sincerely and faithfully obedient to our Constitution. In the single act for which he is most remembered—the issuance of the emancipation proclamation—he expressly supported it as an act warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity. "On one public occasion he described the effect of the counting of slaves in congressional and electoral representation. In comment, he said: 'Yet I do not impaired it to complain of it in so far as it is already settled. It is in the Constitution, and I do not for that cause, or any other cause, propose to destroy, or alter, or disregard the Constitution. I stand to it fairly, fully, and firmly.' Reverenced the Law. "He hated slavery, but his reverence for the Constitution and law was such that he said publicly again and again that if a member of Congress he would faithfully support a fugitive slave law. "His attitude toward the Dred Scott decision is urged in support of the pernicious project for the recall by popular vote of judges and on judicial decisions. He thought it an erroneous decision, but his chief point in reference to it was his error, but that it indicated the need to act if it for the nationalization of human slavery. He never suggested a change in our government under which the judges who made it should be recalled, but said that he would resist it politically by voting, if in his power, for an act prohibiting slavery in United States territory, and then endeavor to have the act sustained in a new proceeding by the same court reversing itself. "Is there to be found here, or anywhere else, support for a project to abolish the essential elements, or any elements, of our Constitution? And yet he is cited in support of such action. "He loved the government under "He loved the government under which he lived, and when at Gettysburg Washington and Lyndon Goffner at Kansas City for Twenty-four.h General Conference.

The claim is made by W. H. Smith, who recently resigned as warden of St. Philip's R. E. Church, that there has been much discord among the members of the vestry and that he resigned as warden, as was told recently in The Acr, not because of the defeat of his son, who was up for election as vestryman, but because there was every evidence of a continuance of strife. Mr. Smith's letter to The Acr follows: To the Editor of The Acr: There appeared in a recent issue of your paper a news item to the effect that I had resigned as warden of St. Philip's Church, and it is due that you correct the misinaccuracy. The reason for my resignation as warden was not as you say, because of my dissatisfaction on the non-election of my son, but for some time there I was discarded in the veneer and as there was every evidence of its continuance by the result of the election I forwarded my resignation. I had twice offered my resignation, but by the wish of some of the members that I withdraw some. I consented to do so; that it was no harsh action on my part. My resignation should not cause any furre, as I am only one member of the church out of some nine hundred odd. The trouble between the members of the vestry is said to exist because of the difference of opinion with reference to handling the church property. More Indorsements for Beckett. Dr. W.

Collins, assistant treasurer of the defunct Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Company, who was convicted in the Court of General Sessions on April 10. through his new attorney, Wilford H. Smith, applied for a certificate of reasonable doubt, which arrived by Judge Erlanger, sitting in the Supreme Court on April 30. Collins has made bond and will be at large pending the hearing of his appeal to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. In a very clear opinion, Judge Erlanger indicates what the decision of the Appellate Division should be on appeal. The opinion follows: "Entirely apart from the objection of variance I have reasonable doubt whether the prosecution proved the larceny of $200 by the defendant Collins, as charged in the indictment. I have no reason to check to one Fox for $300 to the order of Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co. The check contains two indorsements, one in the name of said company by L. C. Collins, assistant treasurer, the other by a third party. The prosecution did not prove the receipt of the check by Collins of the proceeds of the check as charged. Motion granted." Retires as District Captain. With the induction of the new primary law, the old district captain has been retired. Many of these men have done yeomen service, not only to their party, but to their constituents as well. Among this class, none is more deserving of special mention for the silent, but effective work accomplished than William H. Henderson, 28 Fleet place, Brooklyn. For the past five years Mr. Henderson has been a conspicuous figure in the old district, spending and "being spent" in the interest of good government and respected citizenship. Many a man who has thoughtlessly found himself face to face with first one problem and then another has found a way to overcome it through the generosity and brotherly love of Mr. Henderson, and election day has been a day of care for him, as he would spend the entire time untangling the knots of his colleagues. So modest has he been during all of this time, and the most intimately associated with him have known of his many beneficiencies. Mr. Henderson is an officer in the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, is one of the most successful business men in brooklyn and owns a beautiful little store at the above number. He is a New Yorker by adoption, having resided in this city for the past thirty years.

It is the name of a vegetable by which the exact relations of vegetable to the human system are maintained. They will have to change name if they earnestly desire the to become popular.

Pierpont Morgan, the great American financier, talking of the money loss by the wrecking of the ship to a Prisma reporter, said: 'Oh, one pony. There is no such thing as money losses in existence, there is interesting, from so high an amount. The intrinsic value of the money of the actual cash and jewelry that were sunk to the bottom of the sea cannot be recovered, but the information will be made by wealth of the sea in other forms, such as for food, salt, pearls and the like, but the recompensation cannot be got in cost of machinery, and of labor. The wealth is not lost, it is true, but drawn from immediate availability for useful purposes. Baked leaves of bread are not so easily made and eaten as people know. In many parts of Europe baked bread is unknown, as also among South and South America. Corn and wheat are known to that the most civilized people and they used baked bread in many ways familiar to us. For example, made of many sorts of roots, bread and vegetables is common in most of the poorer people in Europe and Asia. And, yet, the baking bread was highly developed among the Egyptianians a loaf exhibited in London in 4400 years that, despite "centurie that we have since it left the baker's bread still retains a bread-like smell and holds entail." Greece and Rome are the bread-making art from Egypt, Europe and America it got from Greece and Rome. Americans have baked bread and other good things to eat than any other people on the globe, but they eat too much meat with blood and not enough bread and butter and vegetables and nuts. The State of Delaware maintains the postponed post as one of the legal modes of punishment. It is barbarous. Not only was a man was sentenced to a fine term and eighty lashes on the back hack. He was so cut up by the forty fury lashes that it was decided to give him the second. It is unlawful and cruel punishment, which the National Constitution prohibits by the state. It is rather discouraging to be a Brooklyn priest, Dr. William J. Johnson of the Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, advising whipping post for men who spend their money for liquor instead of for their families. Such creatures are bad enough; they are victims of the appetites they inherit or cultivate; but they could not satisfy the craving of the State and the Nation did not burden and tax the liquor traffic. It is the business of the State to protect the worker members by removing dissipation out of their way. Instead of advocating the legalizing of the whipping post for such creatures, there the priest would have been more important in denouncing the legalization of the liquor traffic and in denying the suppression of it by the State and the Nation. The Chinese in the United States and in China are a solemn people who make sometimes, but you have to know the nature of their smile to recognize and understand it. When they have fun with themselves it usually makes a lot of trouble for their neighbors and the police. That is why the late Brette Harte, who had studied the Chinamen of the Pacific Coast especially, declared that, "for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the Chinese Chinee is peculiar." So he at San Francisco, Stockton, Fresno and Los Angeles Sunday night of last week Chinaen were killed by two thieves and eleven were wounded. In a grow list of a gambling game quartered in Stockton, in which a Tong was murdered of cheating a Sling in a game of foxing. The signal for beginning the shooting was given by telegram to the parties in the cities named. The game news among Negroes, in the dear rasor usually loudened, are never conducted in the way the Chinese conducted their Sunday night foxing. The scraps are usually in instruction, short and sharp, with the down-away and the get-away always in sight. The Chinese of the lower country sent veterals gamblers and they were but watchful, but with schicks to be found there is always trouble to foxing a plexy. They say that the Chinese will adopt Christianity with their government, and if they implement they will be wounded away from the foxin tale and foxing alike. From time immemorial it has been fashionable to exalt conditions of living in rural districts over conditions of living in city districts. The country districts have their charms and their disenchants and the city districts have theirs. Some people prefer the one and some the other, but which of them is best is a question as old as the everlasting hills of Jacob and as young as the last hill thrown up by a ground-mole. In his address at the Carnegie Hall meeting of the Men and Religion Forward Movement Sunday of last week Dr. Booker T. Washington said: So long as the Negro in the rural districts is fed upon the old worst outlaw theological dogmas, instead of getting from the pulpit inspiration and direction in practical work of community building, connecting religion with every practical and progressive movement for the improvement of the home and community life, so long will he foresake the land and free to the city. If we would save the Negro, 82 percent of whom, as I have said, live in the country, he must be taught that whee the richest of them is the full of "My riches" it means that the earth is full of corn, potatoes, peas, cotton, chickens and cows, and that these riches should be gotten out by the hand of man and turned into beautiful church buildings and a righteous, useful living- When I was in London, England, recently, I found that the churches and other philanthropic agencies of that city were spending $50,000 annually, not to keep people on their feet and help them to make greater progress in positive, constructive directions, but to save the drunkard, the gambler, the loafer, the pauper and the distitute after they had fallen into the ditch. Happily the Negroes in America have not as yet fallen into the ditch; and I pray that, as a result of this great Forward Movement, a way may be provided, through the Negro church and Sunday School, that the Negro while it is yet a young child, will be able to old plantation hymn spots it be kept "from slinking down." In the rural districts, the Negro, all things considered, is at his best in body, mind and soul. In the city he is usually at his worst. Plainly one of the duties of the church is to help keep the Negro where he has the best chance. This view of the question is as plainly and bluntly stated as possible; there are no frills on it; it is reduced to a matter of everyday life and the commonplace things of it, such as better health conditions and food and air and water, and the like; things that go a long way towards making life worth living, but by no means of affording it opportunities for the higher cultivation of the mind, that has cravings of its own independently of the cravings of the body, which insists upon having the daily portion of corn pone and bacon and greens, and such other lumber as make blood for the heart. But the country life is a failure that does not furnish more than this, which does not provide the intellectual food the mind must have or wither, leaving the man an animal with a brain, with only the blood of food-stuffs in it, out of which may come all manner of savage thoughts and acts that are beastly in the eyes of men and the law. The farm conditions of New England and the West have been brought to the highest possible condition of acceptability as to schools and churches and homes, with libraries here and there, but the inducements have not been sufficient to keep sons and daughters of farmers from deserving the old home for the attractions and advantages of city life and the greater opportunities for making fortunes and enjoying to the most the cravings of the mind for refined associations and entertainments impossible to be had at any price in the country districts of the best sort. Nor have those conditions, on the other hand, been strong enough to allure from the cities the labor required by the farmers of New England and the West, even at wage rates that make farming unprofitable to the farmers when conducted on the largest and most expensive plan. Farmers within a hundred miles of New York and Philadelphia are unable to keep their grown children on the farm or to secure the necessary labor at fair wages to take their places properly to conduct their farming operations. Farm conditions in the Southern States are worse still, and less attractive and remunerative, than in New England and the Western States. That it is best for the Negroes that they stick to the country districts as laborers and buy farms of their own as fast as they can is admitted by all who understand the race problem at all; but, during the past twenty years there has been a steady movement of Negroes from the country districts to the large cities of the South; while hundreds of thousands of them have gone to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago, where their conditions of living are harder, more difficult even, than in the cities of the South. Here the cruel Moloch grinds them to powder, only the best of them survive, one in ten perhaps, and that one is not always a strong and useful member of society. Some will stick to the country and some will flee to the cities. It is the same with whites as with blacks. It is up to the thoughtful Negroes in the cities and in the country districts to do all that is possible, of the dissolve and with the assistance of others, to make the conditions where Negroes are found in numbers as clean, beautiful and progressive as those of their white neighbors, to the end that they may get the most out of living for themselves and for Nation. What Dr. Washington has done personally and with the aid of others through Tuskegee to improve Negro farming conditions and home life is one of the brightest and most helpful pages in Negro uplift work. As an example to others it is inspirational. PRESIDENT TART PLAYS COL. ROOSEVELT. To a sensitive mind, to a mind attuned to the loftier purposes of life, to a David who believes in Saul even when Saul-utters untruths and makes a mockery of friendship; to such a mind there is no duty so painful as that of pulling the mask off the face of friendship and making it a hissing and by-word to itself. But we cannot drag down the friendships we have formed, which are ours, which are dear to us, and have been helpful to us, without crucifying the heart of us, and making of the life of us something out of which has gone the wisdom, the justice, the truth of us, leaving us poor indeed. It is a thankless job, and leaves but sorrow for comfort, for consolation, for the peace that passes understanding. In his Massachusetts addresses last week, President Taft, with sorrow in his speech and manner, deemed it a duty to himself and the American people to tear the mask off the pretense of Col. Roosevelt that he is better than other men, that truth abides in him only, that he is the only square dealer. It was a painful task, to pull the mask off Theodore Roosevelt's face, but President Taft did it, with the precision of the just judge, with the law and the evidence before him. And he was frank to say that the task was a disagreeable one, and not of his seeking. He owed it to himself, to the Republican party and to the nation to tell the truth as the record has preserved it, and he told the truth. It is impossible to read President Taft's Boston address and not he convinced that he is able, that he is honest, and that he has the courage to defend himself and his party and the nation from the assaults of a friend who in the desire to recover the power of the Presidency that he had enjoyed deliberately invited a contest of falshood against truth, and the success of the individual against the success of his party and the well being of the nation, for the purpose of advancing his personal ambition. The Republican party owes it to itself and to the nation to stand firm in the traditions of the fathers of the party who in every crisis have chosen for leader a sober-minded man anchored to common sense rather than a comet-darting, man, anchored to nothing but the glamor of ambition running amuck. THE DANGER OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION. In the State of Georgia there is being spent $324,000 annually for the purpose of educating white men and women in industrial and technical studies. While this is going on for the white people, the State of Georgia is spending only $8,000 for the technical and industrial education of colored men and women. This is a fair sample of what is going on in several States. In the face of such facts there are still a few left in the country among our own people who contend that too much attention is being given to technical education among the colored people. The plain truth of the matter is that for years since the white race has seen the value of industrial education, they are doing vastly more in this direction than the colored people are. The teachers of Negro youth at such institutions as Hampton were the first to see the value and utility of industrial education, and the white man was quick to see its value and has seized on industrial education and is now spending more money for industrial education for white youths than is being spent for the same type of education for colored youths. When the white man sees a good thing he is quick to seize hold of it, and insofar from industrial education being something exclusively set aside for the Negro, the white race has long since outdistanced the Negro in imparting this kind of training. Dr. James Edward Mason, who has done so much to make the Zion Methodist Episcopal Church a power for good in the life of the Negro people, has a strong article in the Star of Zion, protesting against the introduction of politics and political methods into the official organ of the connection and into the campaign waged on all sides by candidates for bishop and general officers, and for increasing the number of bishops and general officers to meet the howling demand of ambitious pulpeteers. Dr. Mason has queer notions about the church and for work. He dares to say that more people are in Zion, but better blanch. We reproduce in another column some of the things Dr. Mason says. It is good reading. Read it. We need everywhere to oppose the tendency to intermarriage, to bromance, to homosexual. The kind of politics now controlling the church should cease. A negative deal is demanded. There are some horrors which, endured for two days, leave the victim forever the prey of phantasms that destroy his peace of mind and, wholly or partially, his ability to do a man's work. He cannot shake off the phantasms. They haunt him by day in waking hours and by night in sleeping hours. A whipping post, legalized, a chain gain—a prison system, that is designed to dehumanize the man, such as the Russian system and our Southern system, is a brutality, a savagery, that kills the spirit of the convict as dead as the spirit of the State that maintains such, dead to human feeling and human justice. Justice is merciful in rigor, and should correct and punish the criminal and reform and save the man, rather than kill the man and degrade the criminal. There is no need to spend sympathy upon criminals, but there is need to reform man, if possible, by methods of uplift that are coming more and more into application in prison disciplinary and reformatory work in the Northern and Western States. The prison systems of all of the South States are no higher and no lower than the average Christian development of the people who make and enforce the laws, and that is the bloodhound and not the human, Christian development. Mr. Philip Weltner, assistant prosecuting attorney of the Superior Court of Atlanta, is also a student of social problems. He was educated at Columbia University, in New York, and his father is a Lutheran preacher who went from New York to Georgia to live. It is Mr. Weltner's business to prosecute people who are sent to the convict camps of Georgia by the Superior Court of Atlanta. He has sent many people to them. He came to the conclusion that he would like to know for himself and not for another what convict life in the Georgia chain gang is: Mr. Weltner had his choice of camps. The first he considered was made up of Negroes, who were working on the Coweta county roads. He rejected this, because it was made up of Negroes, and joined the Campbell county gang of road workers. He would have had a different and more horrifying experience if he had palmed himself off as a mulatto Negro and gone into the Negro camp. He found that the convicts working on the roads work early and late, and work hard, and that there is no mercy shown anybody. The $30 a month guard has no human feelings; he is simply a cold-blooded machine, always on the job, with his Winchester rifle handy. The convicts do not read, and have few pastimes; the life is all out of them. They slave early and late, and have only the hope of a pardon coming, a pardon coming which never comes. The ball and chain, the sleeping bunk in a road wagon, iron-sheeted, the coarsest fare cooked and eaten in despair, the long hours of steady work from dark to dark, no conversation allowed, the lash for the least offense and the bloodhound snowing close by ready to take the scent at any break-a-way, looking always when facing the guard down the brazen muzzle of a Winchester rifle—that is the experience which Mr. Weltner found in a white chain gang. Mr. Weltner says: "In Campbell county the Negro convicts and white work side by side, drink out of the same nine cups, call each other, by their first names and often pal together. I was advised to submit to the same custom, and did so. Diktintions are wiped out everywhere. "The State does not recognize the habitual criminal from the first offender; no poles are taken at the trial to road into the character of the man, none is taken in the camps. They must work, and work hard, as long as there is daylight enough left in work by. As we are building a roadway it so happened that a lifer and I were working together, he with a pick and I with a shored, the convicts' 'billy.' I asked my neighbor whether he thought I would be a better man when I had served my time. His answer was, 'Naw, you'll be just like the rest of us fellows—no coquit for nuthin' except what we are doin'. They were just slaves, without opportunity, and therefore without hope." Mr. Weltner reaches the conclusion that "society owes it to itself to strike from the penitentiary and convict camps the inscription 'Abandon all hope ye who enter here.'" He means Georgia society, and other Southern States that maintain the chain gang system, the leasing of prisoners to individuals and corporations interested primarily in getting as much work out of the human machine as possible and at the least cost for keep and surveillance. The intelligent Negroes of the Southern States may yet have to organize and maintain a prison reform association. There is plenty of work for it to do in many directions, and we believe there are able white men in the Southern States who would encourage and aid it in its work. Unjust and annual sentences and unusual and cruel treatment of suspected and convicted criminals are contrary to the fundamental law and the Christian philosophy of the Nation. THE WITHERED GRASS COATERVILLE A Coatesville, Pa., dispatch of April 22, printed in the Trenton Evening Times, says: "On the Newlin farm Fallowfield Township, a mile south-west of Coatesville, where Zach Walker, the Negro, was burned on the night of August 13, there remains a bare spot, where grass refuses to grow. Around the circle grass is growing in all its beauty." This dispatch is pregnant with the truth that murder will out, and that those who commit it, as an individual or as a mob, will be followed by the curse of the misdoing as the bloodhound tracks his victim, tirelessly and mercilessly. Few people believe it. Walker was taken out of the hospital by a mob, fastened to his cot, and thrown over the fence of the Newlin farm; fire was set to his cot, and he was burned to a cinder. The Chester county authorities tried many men and boys for the crime, but were unable to hitch the crime upon any of the mob wrathers, because the juries refused to back up the grand jury indictments and the efforts of the prosecuting officers. Grass refuses to grow on the spot where the man was burned to death! What a horrible reminder is that to the people of Coatesville that "vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." But the withered grass is not the only reminder that the Coatesville people have had. Not long ago their high school was burned, and then a mysterious malady came upon the people, so that at one time 300 of them were sick at the same time and many of them died. It is said that the limb of a tree upon which a man is hanged will wither and die. If grass refuses to grow upon the ground where a man has been mobbed by the community, the story of the withered tree limb, as of the withered fig tree, may well be true of the people also guilty of such crime when they assume legal responsibility for it by refusing to prosecute and punish the guilty. That this is true is born out by the terrible calamities which are constantly horrifying communities which commit great crimes and then forget that they have done so. This Republic has experienced some calamities in the past seven years that have been followed by that silent retribution which sleeps not nor can be traced, and what has been true of the Republic as a whole has been true of unity individuals and mob wrathing communities and communities guilty of other forms of injustice and wrong that are hid from the naked eye. Within the past ten days we have had a great disaster at sea, involving the death of 1,500 people and the loss of some $20,000,000; we have had floods in the Mississippi Valley, from Caro and Egypt, in Illinois to New Orleans, in Louisiana, with great loss of life and property, and a wind storm has swept over Georgia, Alabama and adjacent States, carrying death and destruction in its wake. We have upheavals in politics such as we have had since 1876; capital holds back the expenditures that feed millions because the discontented labor elements clamor for more wages and less work hours and strike to enforce the demand, while retrenching nothing of the expenditures for living they have cultivated above the purchasing power of the wage they receive; and foodstuffs and rents keep on rising higher and higher, so that every increase of wages carries with it increase of cost of foodstuffs and rents, the great mass of the people having to bear the brunt of increase of wages and interest of capital as well as increase of price of foodstuffs and rents. This criss-crossing of interests, by which all of the people are made to suffer in one and another way, is not adventitious; it has a cause for it and the cause is to be found in the tendencies of the people to disregard the letter as well as the spirit of the laws that they themselves have made. The letter of the law has got to square with the spirit of the law; and this must be done by the Nation, by the State and by the individual citizens in their dealings one with the other. When they do not do it they have troubles that they did not expect, from unlooked for directions and confusingly mystifying. Let the mob wrathers everywhere, and those who systematically injure the good name and reputation and despoil others for sellish purposes look about them in their communities and in their affairs and they will find that they have to pay dearly for their doings. EDITORIAL NOTES The Negro voters of Ohio should stand solidly by President Taft and give him loyal support in the coming primaries to be held in that State. He is their faithful and consistent friend, and has done more in giving the members of the race substantial recognition than any previous President. Col. Bryan says that he has no candidate for President, but he is against Gov. Judson Harmon of Ohio. That should be good for Gov. Harmon, and might be if this were a Democratic Presidential four, "which it isn't." Gov. Thomas Bettsie to the old school of Northern Democrats who do not take any shock in Col. Bryan or his varied deficiencies of political acumen. Over one million dollars was raised in New York and London in short orders for the sufferers by the Titanic tragedy. Christian brotherhood, the charity that is instant to relieve the deatitude and helpless, has gained so far a grip upon the minds of men as to make it well-nigh impossible to shake it off, to isolate mankind from the fellow-feeling. The House of Representatives has been asked to vote a pension of $100 a month to Mrs. Sarah Brandon, who is said to have had seventeen sons in the Union army. She is 114 years of age, and lives at Coventville, Va. Give her the pension by all means, was written when she married Charles Brandon, who was 75 years old and brought her 20 sons by a former wife, all of whom she looked after along with the seventeen that were born to her. Charles Brandon died at the age of ninety-six, just before the war. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SHIELD. (Su Rev.) Ed. Mason, D.D. It would be really amusing if it did not involve such serious consequences to notice the remarkable innovations introduced into the scramble of many for exalted honors in the denomination. In the thirty-four years since the introduction of more extraordinary methods pushed to the front than within the past two years, I felt it was a serious blunder in the early nineties, when the columns of the Star were open for booming Episcopal candidates. The agreeable will imparting all kinds of misinformation. How the vivid imaginations of correspondence have created veritable moving pictures of ordinary mountains evolving into towering Himalayas; foothill rivulets into rivers; mountains rising from the Mississippi; and parched in desert regions of fertility and verdure. History tell us when Madam Rowland was about to be executed, facing the kullutine, she said: "O liberty, I am not a slave, I am not tied in the name." And so it has come to pass that an office, intended to be the crowning glory of Zion, Methodism, in the name of promoting the varied interests of the church, and the propagating methods, which lets down the bishopric, vittles the ministry, and encourages all kinds of veneering service. A brilliant young preacher in one of our moment churches, said recently. "You know now, it is anything to get by." In a recent issue of the Sociological Review, England, the foremost American sociologists said: "Few of us realize how much a visual image influences our image to be funnelable and meading." Is this true? If so, who can explain how far out, and how deep down, the ill-effects of the misguided zeal for office, represented for years in the Star, "will face the same fate as our faces, and retarding of our church." It is obviously the duty of the enquirable general conference to eliminate from the columns of the Star all boooms of candidates who also proper for me to say in justice to the present eloquent editor, I do not consider him responsible for this epidemic of office booming. It is the outgrowth of certainnormally developed at the wrong angle. What will the many intelligent and thoughtful readers of the Star think of the absurdities in a recent issue by the writer, James Gomez? He will be meeting God calling a man to the high office of Bishop sooner than the church is ready for him according to our law; and he therefore indicates the law must be suspended to let in his God called man. Why mountains of labor must be written writer feed us on wind? Why mountains of labor to bring forth such a ridiculous mouse? When thousands in Zion are turning to the Star for only manna, why feed them on such digestible and unpalatable porridge? What evidence has he that God has called the inordinate ambitious young Episcopal office seekers, in preference to the modest, older, successful workmen, who are more hard-working and last call? Of that his personal opportunity for preferment and emolment will vanish also? When the late Bishop J. J. Clinton, and others of his age in the early development of the church, he said, the conditions were widely different from what they are to-day. Then too, their men possessed transcendent talents, great executive ability, and extraordinary pulp eloquence and power. They lived in a brother of their day, as the philions of a condo over lap the wings of a crow. To give the reader another viewpoint, they say in substance the best way to improve the weakening foundations of a great building is by rebuilding and adding their weight to the steeple. All denominations bespeaking enduring progress have built from the ground upwards. We are now to dour success as a denomination depends upon building from the steeple downwards); the steeple is steeple; the steeple in these. For this we live and move and have our being. We are candidates for every office in sight—some out of sight. Ten bishops to be a charmed number with some, and the real for the rest. The bishops are resting-maintaining so. The present Board of Bishops for the past three years have visited all the churches, held the annual conferences, and had time for other interests. The strength and efficiency of our board does not consist solely of the number of members; but in its quality maintains concentrated activity and personality. We have privately on every occasion when an opportunity presented itself called attention to your deep convictions and earnest effort in emphasizing the best in men, the best measures and the highest standards. We also provided the fact that it.privilege to give your viewpoint. While at times we differ in spirit and method, a little talk has always revealed our aims as one. As an active pastor in one of the organisations to which you belong and the highest standards of 1912, we take pleasure in making known through these columns our appreciation for the editorial you wrote under the title, "New Bishops." The Aga is a secular paper, having an international circulation, counting among your friends the A. M. E. Zion and A. M. E. Church. You tell us that it is our duty to elect a number of new bishops and that we are responsible for the needless in doing so as well as for the class of bishops who serve the office by the will of the delegates given to any man in the church. You account for the statement that it is our duty to elect new bishops. By this declaration, "The time has come when all realize that new blood must be added to our ranks of these churches, otherwise, they will go backward instead of forward." In another paragraph you tell us the kind of man that should not be elected in these words, "No man who seeks the office by unworthy methods should be elected." We are willing to give his time and energy to seeking such a sacred office is the highest evidence that he is unworthy of it, and close your recommendation in these words, "Let the church deliver its best promote its welfare and put emphasis on the Board of Bishops, whether they are seeking the office or not." We thank you, sir, for your remarks, for they are timely and kindly expressed. We believe the question of age ought to be left entirely out of our discussion, a preacher's questions for any place, a question should be accepted or rejected according to his merits and ability to make good the things committed to him. A bishop then must be bishopless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, soler of good behavior, given to his brother, of good behavior, given to his wine, no sticker, not greedy of filth lucre; but patient, not a brawler; not covetous; one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; for if a man know not how to rule his own house, having his children in the church of God? Not a notice, least burglar fitted up with pride, he falls into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must have a good report of them which are without; less he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. We believe that the delicacy of the Holy Spirit, when you referred to will prayerfully, induces the influence of the Holy Spirit, select and exalt the men that are meant, the ideal Bishop that the Apostle Paul outlines to Timothy. We have all good faith in honest, fearless, loving men, and we are developing that class, and we are observing you may expect good results. G W. ALLEN FOR BISHOP When the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church meets in Kansas City, May 6, it will have before it the election of four, and will have four vacancies to be filled and it is not improbable that a new bishop will be created at this conference. Already there are several candidates for the places to be filled. Among them is one who is well and most favorably among whom he has lived and Columbia, among whom he has lived and for many years. He is Alabama's candidate, Rev. G. W. Allen, D.D., editor and publisher of the Southern Christian Recorder. Mr. Allen was born and reared in Alabama for four氧ations, and with the exception of a few his life, spent in Bulhock County, Ala., he has lived in this community. He has been a minister in his church for about thirty years, and for many years was a teacher in the public schools of Alabama. For a long time he was principal of the colored schools of Girard. There is no member of the colored race in all this section of the country who is more highly esteemed, nor more esteemed than any other who has greater confidence in every man of W. Allen. His efforts have always been for the betterment of his race, and his work has been done along lines producing the best and most lasting resemblance to accomplish in life not so much for his individual benefit as for the benefit of others, and none more gladly and cordially commend him in his efforts than those white people who know him. As editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, which is one of the organs of the church, established twenty-four years ago for the benefit of southern wing of the church, Dr. Allen has labored earnestly and faithfully. The A. M. E. Church of the South is almost a unit in requesting the election of Dr. Allen to the bishopship, and he should be so. It is explained in a few words. He has given satisfaction to his church as an editor, as well as a minister, and to his people generally as teachers and earnest sincere worksmen for their good and general well being. Dr. Allen is nearly 56 years old, having been morn August 10, 1856, having been so shaped as to avoid life of many of his children and amniacies that come to many of both races. He has a large number of friends among both mates who would be glad to meet him. He is a church-Columbian (Ga. E. Englert-Sun. Words of Praise for Taft: TO the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I ask for the privacy and knowledge of the long words of President Taft. Like the old lady who received a loot mysteriously, it proved good to know that the source from which it came. The advice of President Taft, no doubt, would have some effect, but we do not agree altogether with it. We should binge upon the law, that the courts are alpha and omega. We would go the President love must be in the heart of the people. What we need is a quickening of the conscience that each and every citizen wilt have to bear the sake of the thing, wholly disregarding punishment or reward. There are few of whose hands are free from the stains of blood, fire, or blood before, it is up to us to sit in backcloth and abase and stone not for the sins of our country. Let us stop deprecating the worth and character of any human being on account of race, color or previous condition. Every Crowned Man deserves the right to work, or withholding from any individual or set of individuals their joint reward. And without it, we suffer. Thank the President for the progress. Let us all begin to work. ATKINS GIVEN JAIL SENTENCE once in his own name and gave back another mortgage for about $9,000, making the total mortgages about $18,000. This was in 1907 and in 1908 a campaign to sell the property followed. Agents were appointed, excursions to the property and barbecues were held, and hundreds of lots were sold on the instalment plan at prices varying from $200 to $410 per lot. During this time the company had no money whatever to the property and only $1,000 was paid on the mortgage. During the years 1908, 1909, 1910, many thousands of dollars were secured on the lots. One agent alone tested that he had turned in over $10,000 to the company from sale of lots, yet this was going on, there was never a suggestion made in the printed matter or verbally by the officers of the property was lost in mortgages and food others names. In fact, while this was all dealt by the realty company, which had no title, reciting that there were no mortgages on the property, were given to the dupes of Atkins. The holder of the mortgage began getting and installments, and in February THE H. H. DENNIS potted Atkins to pay up or for closure would ensue. Atkins, seeing the writing on the wall, begged him not to foreclose, but in March, 1910, foreclosure commenced and proceeded to a judgment, and sale in August, 1910. The entire tract sold for about $12.00, one-half of the price was claimed at Atkins paid for it, and about one-tenth the price it was claimed to be worth in Atkins' reports as treasurer. Even the foreclosure and sale, however, did not deter Atkins from taking the money of people who, not knowing the facts, continued to pay instalments on their lots. Receipts were shown to the jury that showed money had been collected and turned over to Atkins as late as October 1910, two months after the property had been sold. With all of the facts arrayed against Atkins it seemed certain at the close of the people's case that there would be a conviction. The false reports of Atkins, the lying circling and the false deeds had been put in the case, the property had sworn to the way they had been cheated. A specialist in New Jersey real estate titles had shown it was Atkins who owned the property and that no real deeds could have been given, and he explained the encumbrances on the property. H. H. Dennis One of Principal Witnesses. Among the principal witnesses for the people were H. H. Dennis, who has been one of the leaders to secure justice in the matter; Robert R. Sale, post office employee; Robert Stewart, the complainant; A. D. Bruer, the doctor who had him deceased by Atkinson in Mishoho S. S. Bramhill, upon whose previous complaint Collins is now in jail under sentence for larceny, and Fred R. Moore. It was expected that Atkins would take the stand and make some sort of explanation or defence. But instead of this Atkins relied upon the testimony of a halo-dozen friends and close associates to prove his general good reputation. There was some slight attempt to believe that Atkins had not noticed the holdover of the mortgage remained unpaid. Neither the jury nor any one else within hearing believed these stories. Probably the most interesting development of the case outside of its outcome of a verdict of guilty, was the testimony of the Rev. Le Roy Butler. He had been one of five clergymen who were on the advisory board, and was the only person directly connected with the company appeared on the trial. Ball, the president, was never apprehended, and Collins was already in jail. So McKinna and to be tried alone. Collins was brought down under the grip of the two person to testify, but with this exception the directors and advisory board of the company were conspicuous their absence. When Butter took the stand he announced himself a minister and delivered himself of an opinion of Atkins that was so high that it should have been engrossed and framed. He could see nothing wrong in Atkins or his company or associates. On cross-examination it was another matter. After various preliminary denials and dodging, he finally admitted that his wife now owns Mr. Atkins' home, and that he was personally receiving the rents of the Orange property of the company and was compelled in receiving other property of the company. "It was shown that he had even received the money which Brambill paid the company, on account of which transactions Collins now resides in jail. Butler Cuts Amusing Figure Probably his most amusing admission was that a picture of his own house in Asbury Park appeared on the circular of the company as if it were company property. He said that the company had an interest in the company and when asked in that way, said "that Akins had searched the title." The summing up of the district attorney lasted over an hour and covered the facts above state fully. He referred to the promise of Atkins' lawyer that he would prove Atkins' good faith, and the sacrifices he had made. The district attorney agreed that he had made "sacrifices," but that was Atkins' stockholders and friends who had been taken. The district attorney told the jury the story of the thousands of industrious and patriotic citizens, who, under religious influence and the hope of improving their race, had given Atkins their money, and received never a dollar back. He spoke of Le Roy Butler as "the unofficial receiver" of the company and scorned him for his evasions on the witness stand. He showed them on the screen once again, then reports of another hundred thousand dollars had been received by the company in the two years after the property had been bought, and that the mortgages remained impaired. Upon the close of the case the indictment against the agent, Bruer, was dismissed upon the motion of the district attorney, who stated that he was innocent of any wrongdoing. Assistant District Attorney Freshman is authority for the statement that application will be promptly made for the disbarment of Atkins, a criminal celler, also an attorney, and having been convicted of a felony, his disbarment also follows.

For many years I was convinced that no person lived who was more unfortunate than myself. Loss in business; death of loved ones and other troublemakers; memorable difficult time to a state of fright; friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort I did so, and later purchased two of them. Since then the great change in my career has been so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief. My business increased rapidly, and not a thing has occurred to make my life happier. You will find this letter as reference for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about through the power and influence of two Loadstones.

Advertise in The Age MUSIC AND THE STAGE EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON THEATRICAL COMMENT IN theatrical circles this week the most talked of subject is the purchase of Percy Williams' vaudeville interests by the Keith people, the Brooklyn vaudeville promoter transferring his houses to the syndicate for a sum said to be between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000. The houses included in the deal are the Colonial and Alhambra in Manhattan, the Bronx Theatre, and the Orpheum, Greenpoint, Bushwick, Crescent and Godham Theatres in Brooklyn. When it was given out by the Keith office that the syndicate had come in possession of, the Williams houses it was also made known that an agreement had been formed with the Orpheum people, thereby putting an end to rumors that Keith and Martin Beck would soon engage in a big vaudeville war. In the future the two big firms will work together, controlling the large theatres in the East and West. In the retirement of Percy G. Williams as a vaudeville manager the coloured vaudevillians lose one of their astonest friends. Mr. Williams gave more colored acts work than any other eastern manager on the big time. Bon on Titanic Moving Pictures. Telegraphic advices state that the mayors of a number of cities have put the official ban on the exhibition of Titanic pictures, the officials of Philadelphia and Cedar Rapids, Ia., taking the initiative. This is good news. There should be no fake pictures shown in connection with such an appalling disaster as the sinking of the Titanic. Only a few days after it had been made known that the Titanic had gone down with hundreds on board several film concerns advertised that they could furnish pictures of the "Sinking of the Titanic." Outside of some of the moving picture houses one could see similar signs prominently displayed. Morbid curiosity, of course, prompted some to spend their change to see a "reproduction" of the great sea tragedy, knowing, before entering that they would look at fake pictures. The sinking of the Titanic, accompanied by such a great loss of life, is too serious in character to be treated along these melodramatic lines. Then even those who were not principals in this great sea tragedy, but who secured their information through the newspapers, included in sufficient realism by reading the accounts of the sinking of the ship and then drawing on their imagination. To see false pictures was not necessary. Byrd Resigns as President C. V. B. A. Anthony D. Byrd has tendered his resignation as President of the Colored Vanderbilt Benetolent Association. Tuesday he gave formal notice that he did not desire to remain as chief executive of the association any longer in a letter addressed to the Executive Board. The resignation of Anthony D. Byrd in hand of the Colored Vaudeville Bengoulot Association came as a big surprise to the members of the association and performers in general, as he only one more month to serve. The next annual election of officers will be held the last Tuesday in May. In announcing intentions of giving up the presidency of the organization Mr. Byrd did not give any specific reasons for his action. However, the consensus and opinion is that he became discouraged over the failure of many of the influential members to support him during his administration, which has not been at all harmonious. When Anthony D. Byrd was elected President of the Colored Vaudeville Intervolent Association in May, 1911, the selection was opposed by many of him—"Old Guard," who favored the rejection of Leon Williams. However, Byrd came out winner in the voting and control of the organization. Although many attempts were made to bring about harmony, Byrd's opponents refused to co-operate in making the new administration a success, many refusing to go to the club's headquarters and attend meetings as in previous years. second meetings as in previous years. Since the last election the association has moved its headquarters twice, due to the failure of the members to give financial aid. Only three weeks ago the association moved to 320 W. 10th street and took up smaller quarters. Many of the "Old Guard" were asked to declare that they would go to the club house until a new President was chosen. It is most likely that Byrd, hearing of such statements, decided to resign before the expiration of his term. The next regular meeting of the association will be held Tuesday evening, which will in all probability be the larger since last May. There will be a big hit on, as many of the conservative members do not favor the resignation of President Byrd at this time. They said that he has only a month to serve and he should be asked to withdraw his reduction and fill out his new membership. Some of the radical members who have never co-operated with the President, are urging that his resignation be accepted. Prior to his election as President, Anny D. Byrd was Chairman of the Dewey Committee, and through his ecological system he put the financial affair of the ghetto on a good and healthy foot. They also voted for him but he was it was in the nature of a candidate for his excellent record as chairman of the House Committee. The thoughtful defection of the "Old Guard" 34 YEA BO! CLEF CLUB (INCORPORATED) MANHATTAN CASINO May 23 YEA BO! to Byrd's election as head of the association was that he was lacking in diplomacy, thus making him unfit to successfully preside over an organization having over three hundred members.

Owing to the inclement weather the stone work on the W-H-C Theatre has not been started, but the stone masons will take control within a few days. Stock is still being sold at $10 a share, payable in weekly and monthly instalments, and not only those living in Greater New York but out of town residents are becoming stockholders. The directors of the Johnson Amusement Company wish to deny the report circulated that the W-H-C Theatre is to be owned and controlled by a white man or a set of white men. In reference to the rumor Thomas Johnson, president of the company, said: "It was impossible to get one colored man or a number of colored men to advance sufficient money to carry on such a project as the building of an up-to-date theatre in Harlem. After much work, Maurice Runkle, reputable builder and contractor, was induced to favorably consider the proposition. Mr. Runkle is building the theatre for the company on the same basis as a person buys a house, he, of course, expecting to get his money back and interest. The theatre will be owned by the stockholders just as soon as the builder is paid. If the Johnson Amusement Company could have gotten a colored man to shoulder a $160,000 proposition it would have pleased the directors immensely." CRESCENT THEATRE. Winn and Nugent were accorded headline honors at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week. Both are clever dancers, and the female member of the team uncorked several steps new to the Crescentites: Marguerite and Robert Taylor would have a stronger act if they would do more singing and dancing and less talking. Their talk gets monotonous. The young man has the making of a good comedian. However, cracking raw jokes does not help to make a comedian funny. "Miss Taylor's interpretations of her songs were good. Root and White, a white sister team, have a singing act of merit, although Tuesday evening they were greatly inconvenienced by nearly one hundred persons who were left in the theatre while their act was on. FRED R. OOR E. Treasurer LESTER A. WALTON, Secretary JAMES REESE EUROPE AURICE. RUNKLE Mazie Bush was on the bill the second half of last week and won favor in songs. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BASEBALL is again becoming a favorite topic for discussion up around 135th street and Lenox avenue and, from all appearances local conditions are very much complicated. The best of blood does not seem to exist between the managers of the various colored teams and matters are made worse by the appearance of a new colored club with a manager who does not care whose players he gets. "Dick" Coogan, an old ex-ball player, who has held important political offices in New Jersey, and who is now said to have a nice bit of money, is organizing a colored team to represent Paterson, N. J. As he has money he is offering fancy hats to players who make his fancy, and it is said that he has already landed McClellan and Francis of the Lincoln Giants, and is making overtures to some of the best players on the Royal clubs. Capt. John Lloyd of the Lincoln tlants, however, denies that any of his players have been secured by Coogan, and has given out the names of the following players for his team this season: Rodding, "Cyclone" Williams and McChillan, pitchers; Booker and Santop, catchers; Poles and Thomas, outfielders; Grant, first base; Francis, Wright, second base; Francis, third base; Lloyd, short stop. According to Capt. Lloyd he is negotiating for another good holder, and has an eye on several promising young-sters. Although the Royal Giants have a strong team this season, fans who advocate fair play are waiting to see how Manager Connor is going to be treated in the matter of booking. Last season, the colored manager was given the "little end" of it the greater part of the season and lost money. There is a rumor about that an effort is being made to have all the colored clubs controlled by white managers, which would mean the elimination of John W. Connor. The process of elimination is said to have been already planned, and that an effort will be made to bring this step about by giving the Royal Giants inferior dates. It is also reported that instead of offering Manager Connor a percentage of the gate receipts as in former years, an endeavor will be made to get him to accept so much for each game. The idea of a deal with colored baseball fans should loyalty support teams merely because they are managed by colored men; but when a good colored team is owned by one of the race and a movement is on foot to put the colored manager out of business, then the colored fans should have something to say. As a rule the colored fans are far in the majority at a game, in which one or two colored teams figure and their patronage is necessary. They should resent any attempt to put a colored manager out of business. To see Manager John W. Connor get the worst of a raw deal would not only be a rank injustice to him, but a gross piece of discountey to the colored fans. Lincoln Giants Whitewash Murray Hilla. With Redding in the box and allowing the opposing welders but three hits, the Lincoln Giants scored an easy victory over the Murray Hills Sunday at Olympic Field, 13 to 0. Capt. Lloyd led off in the batting for his team, connecting safely with the horsecircle three times, one of the hits counting for a home run. The score: Totals 12 11 27 12 22 Totals .. 2 12 24 0 6 Pittsburg Giants .. 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 2 Bronx Athletics .. 0 0 3 0 9 4 0 5 x-12 Royal Giants Win Exciting Game. At St. Louis, Tuesday, the Royal Giants defeated the St. Louis Giants. An exciting game, 1 to 0, "Pop" Anna knocked the only run of the game by knocking a home run.

HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss., April 30.—On Friday, April 19th, 1912, the annual debate between Tougalou University and Rust University was held in the auditorium at Tougalou. The question was, Resolved, that a limited monarchy would be better for China than a Republic. Rust University had the negative side and was represented by Messrs. Ellis Wood, '12, August Tyus, '12, and Wilbur Williams, '14. Each speaker is said to have given one of the best arguments ever presented before an audience among the Southern schools. The debate was won by the Rust speakers, the judges being out only five minutes. These young men reflect credit upon their school and the institution, has the assurance that it will be well-represented whenever these young men or any of its students are looked upon with due consideration. The question as to what the judges' decision would be was never in doubt after the first speaker in the negative had taken his seat. Time after time the audience filled the house with great applause during the time when the negative had the floor. The young men have returned, and they report a pleasant trip, being highly entertained by the students and faculty of Tougalou.
