NEGRO WAITERS IN BEST HOTELS Strike of Whites in New York Brings About Unusual Conditions NOT STRIKE-BREAKERS Colored Men at Plaza and Other Hotels Helping Managers who Employ them at Resorts Cause Mode that Not Enough Colored Waiters Can Be Secured to Serve on European Plane, which is Popular. Manhattan is being treated to a spectacle of giggle days—that of colored waiters working in some of the first-class hotels and restaurants of the city. The appearance in New York of these dazzling knights of the tray after an absence of several years has been brought about by reason of the big strike of white waiters, which reached quite an aggravated stage last week. The leading hotels and restaurants of New York have for a number of years employed foreign-born waiters, who have had a monopoly on work in the most fashionable eating places. Last week they decided to strike for more money, shorter hours, food and further demand that the International Waiter Union be recognized. The hotel managers are averse to recruiting the union, and while in favor of arbitrating with the strikers as individuals have given out that no union will be given consideration. They deserve that at this time of the year they will go along with less help than any other time, and will not take any dictation from the waiters. Negroes at the Plaza. The first appearance of colored waiters in the first-class hotels in New York, after an appearance of many years, the place has a Tuesday waiter, regarded as the leading hotel in the city, discharged all the floor waiters who were making demands and filled their places with trained colored waiters. There are now thirty-two colored waiters at the Plaza, although in the room, grill, etc., white waiters are on duty. A floor man is a waiter who serves permanent guests who have their meals served in the rooms. Two waiters are also working at Majestic Hotel, the Breslin, the Wellington and the Marseilles. That they are not in many of the other hotels and restaurants is due to the inability of the managers to secure the kind of desired. Despite the fact that there has been much talk lately about the colored waiter losing in New York, the present strike clearly shows he is unable to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves. For instance, one of the leading restaurants of the city agreed to hire eighty waiters and also put in their colored help and sign a contract for one year. The colored man was asked to furnish the help, although not known to the majority of waiters throughout the country, and the long distance telephone for four miles was found that it was impossible to cover thirty-two first-class waiters who were capable of filling the position offered. The manager of the restaurant was informed that to get the number asked for could not be secured; other large hotels have made requests for first-class colored waiters, but have not been unable to secure them. Because of the strike is the result of colored waiters to fill vacancies offered by first-class breakers. The restaurants using colored help are managed by those who also have summer and winter resorts where colored waiters are employed. Dr. K. Bentley who has been active in putting colored men in the Plaza and other places stated to a representative of the Age that the Negroes working in New York do not desire to be known as strike-breakers, that they are working for managers who see fit to hire them at Palm Beach, Saratoga and other winter and summer resorts, and that they feel in their duty to help a friend in need. The Question of Permanency. Many are asking if the colored waiters who are now working in the local eating scene will be kept after the strike is over. According to those familiar with conditions the future of those at work rests with themselves. It all depends on whether they can deliver good meals. The management at the Palm has offered to retain all the colored waiters if they can give first-class service. The proportion of service seems to be the all-time high point with the Negro waiters, and that while they fill the bill, they run on the American plan, so they work efficiently deciemet at places on the European plan with a full service, which is deciemet modeled by the policy of patrons, and that at Palm Beach. Palm dances the winter months out of the small area of colored waiters only they are allowed to serve on the European plan, though more would be needed if they could be secured. The New York Age. The striking waiters have sought to get all the colored waiters in the International Hotel Waiters' Union and are making it publicly known that colored men will be admitted. A delegation from the union—Messrs. Eicher, Dumont and Washing—members of the executive committee, called at THE Ace office and denied a statement appearing in the Journal that the white waiters at the hotel were with degrees. They produced their dissertation, which read that no discrimination should be made on account of race or religion. Investigation showed, however, that not a colored man belonged to the International Waiters' Union. Papers Favor Return of Colored Waiters. Many of the New York daily papers seem to favor the employment of Negroes in preference to foreign help in the local hotels and restaurants. Under the caption, "A Touch of Color," the Sun says: "In not too distant days which youngsters glibly dub simpler than the time we live in, there were hotels that served the diner room and black servants who were proud of their service. Before the American plan inn had become a memory in Fifth avenue and Broadway the opening of the diner room was a sight of chic, chic, chic, large and massive, gloriously self-conscious of its importance and dignity, marshalled his subordinates with all the care of a military commander, marched them in well drilled ranks the length of the great room and told them the story of the diner room, signing the captains of his army. Perhaps there is an uncontaminated spot where that review and drill is still treasured; where the guests' hat is cared for by a specialist who scorns the use of checks, who never errs in his duties, who is not in him, and who himself pockets the fees his guardianship carm. "The black man as a waiter has almost disappeared from those places that exploit their fashionableness. Atlantic City was long a stronghold of those dark and satisfactory boys who own the clothes and make clothes for United States, and could make intelligible answer to the unlearned. But the phrase white help exclusively is found more and more frequently in the announcements fro m that city of hotels. The dining rooms are cleared of white men and boys who change color next; in a short time it is of white in a smiling face of ebony cheers the visitor. Perhaps prejudice is responsible for the bleaching of the servitors. No improvement in manners or attention accompanies it. The white waiters and boys are not more or less white than their own obsessors. Their unfamiliarity with the only language spoken by an overwhelming majority of their patrons requires understanding ... Their敏感性 is largely a myth, and even when it is displayed in perfection it is more difficult to good digestion than the easy grin and wholesome chuckle of the Negro. "One drawback there is in this town to the employment of Negroes in eating places. New York is cursed with a population of 'professional southern' Negroes, who obtrude themselves whenever they find opportunity. These exhibit their familiarity with polite usages by blackguarding black men with no how to treat 'em; had 500 on their backs before the wah." The blackguarding is done when it is obviously safe to indulge in. We have seen Southern gentlemen who ached to malm these impostors, to be more polite, "Perhaps the satisaining stalks that now perturbs the tavern keepers may bring back the Negroes to favor. If it does the public will lose nothing by the rogue appearance of a tribe that fashioned better treatment from a public long tended skillfully and satisfactorily."

C., June 4.—The Evangelical Ministers' Alliance, composed of 150 pastors of the colored churches of Washington and vicinity, met last Tuesday and passed resolutions deploring intervention by the United States in Cuba. The resolution calls attention to the fact that "the bulk of the Cuban army during the war with Spain was made up of Cuban blacks," and that it is unfair for the United States to antagonize them in their efforts to free themselves from "oppression." The paper also embodies, a bitter arrangement of Americans in Cuba, who are declared by the Alliance to be the instigators of the present state of unrest. A copy of the resolution was sent to President Taft. THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1912.—Copyrighted, all rights reserved.

NEW HUBER PRESS INSTALLED BY THE AGE THIRKIELD RESIGNS Committee Appointed to Nominate New President for Howard University Resignation to Take Effect June 28. Special to The New York Am. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4—The trustees of Howard University met Saturday in the Carnegie Library of the university and received Dr. Thirkield's resignation, to take effect on or before June 10. After expressing great regret at losing the services of Bishop Thirkield, he was earnestly solicited to remain at the head of the university until June 28, when his successor will probably be elected. As a further tribute to his services it was decided to name the new science hall, the largest church in energies "Thirkield Hall." The action was also the indorsement of the petition of the seven deans and the entire faculty of the university suggesting the adoption of the name for the science hall. "During the administration of President Thirkield," the petition read, "the institution has made marked advances in all lines. A large expenditure has been made for new buildings and equipment, the student body has advanced from White Hall and the faculties of the several departments have been greatly enlarged and strengthened. The work of the institution has gone along with the harmony and a new atmosphere of its intellectual, moral and even a religious life pervades the institution." A number of the trustees took occasion to praise the exceptional services that Bishop Thirkield has rendered the university during the six years he has been its president. Chief Justice Stanton J. Peele, the Court of Claims; Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, of Newport, R. I.; the Rev. J. E. Moorland, Charles H. Richards, Dr. John R. Francis, Bishop Thirkield and John T. Emlen were appointed committee members to new head of the institution. This committee will report at an adjourned meeting of the board of trustees, which will take place on June 28. The following members of the board of trustees were present: Justice Job Barnard, who presided, Chief Justice Peele, the Rev. A. F. Beard, New York City, the Rev. Charles Wood, the Rev. Francis J. Gromke; Judge G. W. Atkinson, the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Richards, New York City, the Rev J. E. Moorland, Dr. James H. N. Waring, William V. Cox, Henry Pellew Register of the Treasury James Napier, Dr. Wheatland, John T. Emles, Philadelphia, Dr. Purvis, Brooklyn, Mass, Dr. Francis Bishop Benjamin T. Janner, Philadelphia, and President Thirkield, Walter H. Page, Editor of the World's Work and Henry A. Hubbard, treasurer of the American Missionary Board, New York, were elected to vacancies in the board. President Thirkield made a detailed report of his work, covering all departments of the university. The treasurer of the institution reported that the only deficit of $2.000 caused by necessary repairs to the medical hall and for extensive equipment to special department work. As it is believed that there will be an increase in the receipts, for next year, this deficit will be swiped out. The increase in enrollment of students during Presence Thirkield's regime has made necessary an increase in the faculty of the university, thus burdened the financial resources. Prof. George W. Cook, secretary and business manager of the university, reported that the grounds and buildings were never in better condition. U. S. COURT IN "BLACK BELT." Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Washington, D. C. June 4—Mississippi is to have a Federal Court in the "Black Belt." It will be located at Clarksdale, the home of Charles Banks, through whose efforts Mississippi is to get another Federal Court. In the past those in the "Black Belt" have been compelled to go to the Hill counties in the Varsity stronghold. Both the colored and white hirsutus are grateful. Mr. Banks for his activity in having Congress pass a measure favoring the establishing of a Federal Court at Clarksdale. President Taft was heartily in favor of the measure, which he signed at once. LARGE, MODERN PRESS INSTALLED BY THE AGE New Machine a Self-Feeding Perfecting Press Weighing 9 Tons PRINTS 8 PAGES AT ONCE Aim of Publisher to increase Circulation of Paper by Many Thousands—Paper has Big Plant. The increasing circulation of THE AGE, coupled with the desire of the publisher to get the paper to its many readers throughout the United States and Canada one day earlier, has necessitated the installation of a large and modern press which is calculated to make many changes for good. Although THE AGE mechanical department for years has been regarded as the most thoroughly equipped of any Negro publication, with the addition of its new press it can lay claim to ranking with the leading white weeklies from a standpoint of mechanical appointment. The machine installed is a Huber self-feeding perfecting press, weighing nine tons and printing eight pages at one time. Its electric motor attachment is equal to ten horse power. The press turns out two thousand copies an hour. It is provided with two ink tables, twenty-two rollers and is guaranteed to do first-class magazine and color work. Although the Huber press has been purchased, THE AGE will keep its large Cottrell press which has been printing the paper. Its capacity is 1200 impressions an hour, and it has a five-and-a-half horse-power motor attachment, printing four pages at one time. Together with the Huber and Cottrell presses THE AGE has a Campbell press which is furnished with a two-and-a-half horse-power motor attachment and does two-color work. It is used for printing large show cards, letter heads, etc. A job press is also in the plant, which prints circulars and small cards. With the addition of the Huber press an effort will be made by THE AGE to get the paper to both subscriber and agent one day earlier than heretofore. It is the belief of the publisher that the new system soon to be adopted will add many thousand subscribers to the circulation list.

PRICE, 5 CENTS Twelve Lodges of New York State to Meet and Discuss Decision DIFFER AS TO FUTURE Some Favor Changing Name while Others want Case Taken to U.S. Supreme Court MAY ACT AS BOOMERANG In View of Decision Colored Odd Fellows of New York Could Put White Odd Fellows out of Business. It has not been decided whether the twelve lodges in the State of New York belonging to the Improved Resevolent and Protective Order of Elms of the World will take their fight to the United States Supreme Court on a writ of error or comply with the recent decision of the Court of Appeals and change the name of the order in this state. The members are divided on the subject and the plan of action will be outlined at a joint meeting of all the lodges of the state, to be held within a few days. The opinion of Justice Bartlett, in which the other justices concurred has been received by Counselor Macon Webster from Albany. Upon perusal it has been found that the modifications made by the Court of Appeals to the injunction order issued by Judge Morschauser are not as favorable and important as had been anticipated. The higher court held that the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World is an imitation of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and has decreed that the colored body change its name. The chief modifications made by the Court of Appeals are that the colored Elks be permitted to use the colors of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks—purple and white—and that it is not necessary for the defendants to change the names of the officers. Decision a Two-Edged Sword. Prominent lawyers who have read the opinion of the Court of Appeals regard the decision as a two-column sword and declare that such white lodges as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows could be put out of business in New York on the same grounds as the court ruled that the colored Elks should be permanently enjoined from using the name. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is composed of Negroes and is composed with the English body from which it acquires a warrant and On the other hand, the white Odd Fellows of New York, as well throughout the United States, organized independently and are not affiliated with the English order or the colored Odd Fellows. It is the belief of representative lawyers that if the colored Odd Fellows wanted to put out of business the white Odd Fellows in this country they could bring suit in the New York Courts along similar lines followed by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, and that in view of the present deinion junction would have to be issued enjoining the Independent Order of Odd Fellows from using the name of Odd Fellows. Counselor D. Macon Webster announced Wednesday that the colored Elks in the other states would issue the decision of the New York Court of Appeals and continue to be known as the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. Court Says Color, Question Has Legal Significance. The opinion of the Court of Appeals follows: This is a suit to retrain the defendant from using a corporate name so closely related to his own business, and related to mislead and deceive the public and persons having transactions with other corporation. The plaintiff has been awarded injunctions in its sought, and a unanimous affirmation of the right to judgment the defendant has appealed to the court. Although there are nominally two defendants, they constitute but one suspect, and he is treated as one defendant in this opinion. The plantist was incorporated by a special act of the legislature (Laws of 1871, 1872, and 1873) as the Protective Order of Elks, to protect and aid its members, and their families, and to accumulate a fund for that purpose. The order was printed for no other purpose whatsoever and it is authorized to acquire and hold personal estate to the value of 200,000. personal estate to the value of 200,000. to have and use a common seal and to establish branch organizations. The corporation has grown and prospered, being one of the largest corporations of the Colonies and having an aggregate membership of about 250,000 persons. The defendant corporation, on the other hand, has been organized under the Newbern Corporation Law in 1807. In the certificate of incorporation it is named the Newbern Corporation Improved Protective Order of Elks of the World, and in its publications it appears simply as the Improved Benovelt and Protective Order of Elks of the World, the designation as (Continued on page 3.)

To Unveil Memorial Window, Social to The New York Ace Orange, N. J., June 5—On June 9 a mental window will be unveiled in St. Johns M. E. Church. This is one of the places where the Orange and was organized some 30 years. During that time many noted scholars and distinguished men have occupied the charge, including the Rev. Dr. Vernon C. Campbell, the State College for Young Colored Men, and Dr. A. P. Camphor, who was transferred from there and appointed president of the Methodist College in Monroe. At present the church is in charge of the Rev. J. C. Dunn, who was appointed from the Ferry Avenue M. E. Church, Canden, N. J., and under whose charge it is present in a very flourishing condition. The composition of this memorial is not only unique but especially interesting, for the reason that it establishes a kind of narrative, a kind of narrative descent in the Life of Christ. Herefore artists, as a rule, have invariably treated most of the happenings related in the Bible from a literal historic standpoint only, giving it a more literal and more descriptive form that somehow all the blessings, all the healings and the miraculous happenings related only to, and were in an especial sense for, one race only. The artist in this memorial is a historical artist, a historical artist of the past, and established a new precedent in that he places a new interpretation on this subject, and which can be made to apply equally well to many of the happenings in history, making the historic event stand for, or signify a spiritual happening in the life of all mankind to-day. So that as Christ blessed the little children in the 500th year ago, so He in life blessing the children in all mankind, gratitude of race or color. This thought, the artist has tried to give expression to in the composition who represents in the central part of the picture the figure of the Christ blessing of children which are distressed by the absence of parents. This is a gift of the Sunday School and contains in the base the inscription: THE GLORY OF GOD and the memory of our children in heaven. Mary is also designed and built the window, is an artist of considerable skill in this line and has built many church windows in this country and already having recently built and placed in the Episcopal Cathedral at Little Rock, Ark. the Bishop Pierce Memorial and many animate works. The window is beautiful in color and skillfully executed in technique and finish. Old Soldiers' Entertainment at Roxbury. Borsthuy, Mass., June 4 — The home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob H.

We do not believe in rtain public policies Col. Roosevelt s announced, mainly since he threw Pe CENET ROR Ss A Ne to everybody. We do not believe in certain public policies Col. Roosevelt has announced, mainly since he threw his hat in the ring as’ a candidate against President Taft, when he had positively declared that he would not he a candidate, and we do believe in the clean, close cut Republican pol- cies of President Taft, barring - his utitude on Negro appointments to office in the southern states, which we have always condemned and con- demn now, but with the reservation that the southern Negro politicians are more responsible for that attitude, which Col. Roosevelt also took as President, than is,President Taft.. We. maintain that office-holding is not a question of small moment ‘with black or white partisans, but that it is far from being the primary question. The statement that Tue Ace has asked that President Taft should be re nominated because he has appointed come Negroes to office is a lieour of whole ‘cloth, and Mr. Harris can produce nothing from the editorial ex- pressions of The Ace to show that it snot & lie. The charge that Tax Acs is or ever has been selfish in advocating men OS RR. Sonat’ Gur, cubtempe: Ts "this the: reeders of The: Aon, for -th most part, will sustain ius. Tt is not expected that all of the readers of a newspaper will agree with Al-of the editorial potiay of the:agoes paper, but it is expected of the editor that he will shape the policy of the paper for’the best interests of his readers and that he will not jump from one conclusion to another, from one candidate to another, every time ae ‘opportunity is given to do so and the superheated temperament of a considerable number of people, for the time being, gemand it. “Be suse you are right and then go ahead,” said Davey Crockett. Every honest moulder and director of public opinion and most Negro editors are honest, seek to be right in what he advises as good for others, because he honestly believes it to be good, We think that the nomination and elec- tion of President Taft will be best for the country and for average citi- zen on the record of his administra- tion, and we advise that which we believe. ARCHDEACON RUSSELL AND HIS WORK OF UPLIFT. adhe ot. Paul .ormal and indus- trial, School at Lawrenceville, Va., is a Protestant Episcopal work that under the management of Archdeacon James S, Russell, has not only ac- jcomplistied a great work, but has done much to revolutionize the life oi the Negroes of Brunswick and sur- rounding counties in Virginia. Dr. Hi. BL Frisell, principal of Hampton Institute, who has devoted his life to the work of Negro uplift, says: “Archdeacon Russell bax wellatigh Fe constructed the agrivulturnl, tndustrlal, ne cla}, religious. and moral condition of the Negtoca of Hrunuwick county.* °° The School farm bas revolutloulaed the methods fof the Negro farmers In the communtty. Farmers’ Institutes have encouraged them to buy land and cultivate it properly. Th 1910 the Neseoes of Hrunnwtck evunty owned $4,000 acrvx of Innd, nad real and personal property to the amount of $515.- 209.13.

Kindly relations between the facen, an aD Improved atandard of mornin, disappearance of crime, © tore rational fe Higion, Utter homien: thene are weitnessen of the value of the work of thin Hampton student.” With all that it has accomplished the school is still hampered by debt and lack of money properly to do the work Principal Russell has in hand. Some $58,000 is needed to close the year free of debt, and an appeal to churchmen has been made in the Southern Missioner, the school's jour- nal, for the money by Rt. Rev. A. M. Randolph, D.D,, LL.D., D.C.L., presi- dent of the school’s board. We have no doubt that churchmen everywhere will respond to the appeal. If they knew Archdeacon Russell personally, as we do, they would make haste, with small and large gifts, to help him in his good work. THE CUBAN REBELLION. The press reports which come from Ciba describing the rebellion place stress upon the fact that this is a rebellion of the colored people, for the most part. We hope that this is not true. ‘The Negrocs of Cuba have nothing to gain by taking up arms against the government; on the other hand, they have much to lose. If they have grievances, they ought to try to settle them through the ballot and not through the shot gun. In the long run, the colored people and our people in Cuba will suffer by reason of this mistake. Further than this, the rebellion of these Negroes in Cuba, we fear, will have a bad influence among the white people in the United States, as bear- ing upon the Negro population in our own country. We hope that level-headed black people in Cuba will soon call off this rebellion and will make an attempt to secure their rights through other means. ALL WHITE COOKS AND WAITERS. ! The following is an advertisement which vie noticed in a southern paper recently: “All white cooks, white help and white waiters. Our cooks are required to wear white aprons, white caps. They are as clean as the waiters. who serve you. All food products passed and approved by the authcrities.” In these few words, outlining the virtues of a restaurant in the South, there is a lot of wisdom for our people throughout the country, especially to cooks and waiters. We commend it to the special reading of all. REV. REVERDY C. RANSOM. We commend the action of the Gen- eral Conference of the A. M. EF. Church for electing Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, of New York. editor of the Quarterly Review. He is brilliant and we believe will, as an editor, re- flect the highest credit upon the church and upon our race. We have for a long while numbered Mr, Ransom among our. warmest and best friends, and it is a great pleasure to recognize his promotion. * general and destructive of the forces that actuate mankind and’ make for the woe or weal of individuals and of nations, People who are. unable to get away from themselves and their interests, who seek always to benefit themselves and their immediate rela- tionship, a nation of such people grow narrow and stupid without force or chayacter: Like the’ terrapin, the gopher, the turtle, they live to them- selves by and with themselves, and carry about with themae!l that they are and that they possess. .They quay not be conscious of it, but their fel- low creatures regard them as mys- teries, “fearfully and wonderfully made,” it is true, but made for them: selves not for helpful association with others that help them as well. No man lives to himself; no people, no nation, can do it. Self-centered sel- fishness is sure death, which is de- nied the help, the sympathy of others because it denies to others help and synipathy. Among other good. things said by President Taft, as reported in the Washington correspondence of TH» Ace’in its issue of May 16, the follow- ing is worthy of the sober reflection of theagsaders of THe Ace: “1 quant to Ree the coolred race in this country relleved of the burden of Its own Wrongs and rights, nod take Ite place Junt ‘tm other clthens, ‘the Germans, the Jews, the Ink, In our body polltie. 1 bellere that under wine leadership that day In fot far dixtunt, 1 want to new the colored dewple more and more take Interent tothe Xrrat quentions before the state nod ne Hlon--the tariff, the trust, conservation, rte Sunt ax do other eltizens, and not fine ‘thelr attention solely to thelr own apeclal problem, “Exea sour xpectal problem commande you to take Interent fo the present agita- tlon throughout the country for the reall of the Judiciary. ‘Thin attack upon the coUrtR wenkeDR the governiiivat apd tones the admtnintration of the lawn aubject to the namic mplelt which Hex at the basen of Iynchingy.

The welfare of the nation is the first con- cern of every citizen, as the welfare of the home and the many interests that go to make home depend pri- marily upon the government, upon good ‘government, and there can be no such without good citizenship, al- ways alive to the welfare of the na- tion, to wise, orderly and economical administration of public affairs. “As 4 matter of history, the Negroes have received no public benefit in this coun- ry because they were black or yellow, put because the whole American people were injured in. the benefit withheld from them. It was primarily hat way with the slavery question; « interfered with free labor on the] one hand and restricted the “right’|, (0 life, liberty and property” of |. white men on the other, by its in- olent arrogance and increasing de- || mands.

It] 4 wie Seen ial We aaAY baa ahs neta 18 aes O' ee: ete ay Oe ee Negre ‘Among, Nearses and a White Man Among Whites, Now ahd then there appears a re- tmaurkable book of personal experiences throwing light from a new viewpoint upon some old problem and adding onc more to the list of polgnant human documents, Such a book is “The Au- toblography of an ex-Golored Man.~ which is published by Sherman, French & Co, without mention of the author's name for reasons which are soon ap- parent, It is the prodfct of an unusual and well-equipped roind..and while in inatioctual ability It doen not achtove the plane of Booker Washington's “Up from Slavery’ or Mary Antin's “The Promised Land," it ranks near thove two atriking books and Is possessed of ‘n certain element which may be termed elther legitimate romance or legitimate tragedy. und whieh ts to be found in nelther of them. It does not sound the noté of optimism, nor ts ft constructive in the sense that both Dr. Washing- ton’s book und that of the young Jew- Ish immigrant are constructive, but it tells a story’ of Intense human Interest in the terms of fact and personal ex- perfence such as has been told before only In weakly Imaginative fiction. . The rolution of the tite, “The Auto- Biography of an ex-Colored Man” is the one which munt suggest Itself to the curlous reader, alnce there ts only one. The author im the son of a white, Southerner und a very light mulatto, und is himself so fair that after hav- ing been Identified with Negroes in the South, and to a certain extent in the North, he hus been able to withdraw himself wholly from relations with that rice atnd, for the auke of the children borne him by hin white wife, now dead, to clays himaci€ ana white man, So far as concerns the practical tmpor- tance of the book. It In to be found chiefly in the warning account of the Negro underworld in the big city. As tor the complete identification of this man of Nexro blood with the white race, the narrative may excite the fears of Imnginative persons that what ha» happened in this care may be repeated in other, to the eventful amalguma- lon of the racer. But while it is not for & moment to he supposed that this # the only instance of ite kind, those who conjure such fears may be left to leat with them. The author was born in a little town n Georgia, which he docs not name, a jew years after the crose of the civil kar. Of his birthplace he recalls only lim recollections of a Iittle house with lowers around It, and of various peo- ple who moved in and about it, but of wo of whom he has only a distinct nental tmage; one his mother, and the ther “a tall man with a #mall, dark mustache.” who, as he was to’ learn ater, was his father.

It was at Berlin that after haviog played nome ragtime muale ut @ gath- tring of musical people, the author qulned what for the time he conceived to be the Inspiration of his life work. He had hardly finished his ragtime when an enthusiastic Gérman brushed him off the stool and taking te same theme varied and developed it through every, known musical form. “I had been turning classical music into rag- time, n comparntively easy tak: and this man hud takeo ragtime and made it clagaical.”. ‘The thought flashed Into his mind that there was his opportu- nity, that the music of America might Ne doveloped from the Negro melodies. He then determined to leave his lels- | ure loving companion and go back to che United States to work as — Negro somposer. The decision made, he re- urned to the country and began his abors among the Southern Negroes in collecting their melodies and the chap- |. jer In which he telle of this work will | prove one of exceptional Interest to any | who have found an appeal in Negro music. But it was while engaged in| hla work in a thinly settled district hat he witnessed a lymching in which |. he wretched victim was not merely hunk but burned to death.

C.; June 4.—The election of Dr. Wilbur T. Thirkield to the bishopric in the M. E. Church will cause a vacancy in the presidency of Howard University. Already a number of prominent colored educators have been appointed to the church will succeed Dr. Thirkield as President of Howard is not merely an interest to the colored people in Washougal where the university is located but is of great interest to every child of the 1200 Howard students to the thousands of colored men and women everywhere interested in the education of the race primarily, and in higher education secondarily. In Thurkirk is a white man. Every president Howard has had has been a white man. Many colored men, and copresident no one. Howard is a colored man in order consistently emphasize the need of Howard University as an institution of learning to give hope. There is nothing in the laws and rules establishing and governing Howard to make it a separate student body. Howard's private student body is colored, not a white student to be seen in any department. It is as effectually a colored institution as it made so by Congressional action or judicial decision. President Howard although himself and although a private president, has not been able to attract a single white student in the past several years. The faculty, for the most part, is composed of colored professors and instructors. Howard University presides over the university presides but become, so far as its student body is concerned, distinctly a colored institution, and Congress appropriates for it upon this assumption. There are, however, colored men who claim, and are insisting, that Dr. Thirkell's successor must be a white man and make a colored man president of Howard. The men who advance this argument not only discredit their race and belittle themselves, but they give white men an argument to use against placing a colored man in any new position whatsoever. If it is not time to elect a colored man, the time is not yet ripe for colored trustees for that institution, and those colored men who are now serving as trustees ought to resign in order to be in harmony with the backward movement. If it is not time for a colored president of Howard is it not possible that the colored deans at Howard are positions several years in advance of the Race's right to these positions? The pioneer is always met with the laggard's argument of "it is not time." Catching their cue from race prejudice, and backed up by weak, servile colored men, some white men have allowed colored men upon any unbeaten path on the ground "it is not time." When R. H. Terrell and E. M. Hewlett were proposed for municipal judges here white men who coveted all the offices, and colored men who lacked race confidence and race pride contended that the man was not appointed to pointments. The men were appointed, however, and both filled the positions acceptably and well, and in some cases better than any of their white associates. Given the opportunity to succeed as municipal judges has prepared the man for judicial ladder. There is not a single place occupied by colored men to-day but what was won against and in spite of the "not time" argument. When it was proposed to raise $100,000 for a colored Y. M. C. A. building here the man was used, yet the conception of, the campaigning for, and the raising of that $100,000 the work of colored men, and now Dr. Moreland, international secretary, and Lewis E. Johnson, local secretary, whose efforts more than any two men are responsible for furnished, equipped and occupied $100,000 colored Y. M. C. A. building. Who will say it is not time for a colored man to manage this institution? And it is just as reasonable to say that a white man should be in control of and manage the $100,000. M. C. A. buildi one of the favorite, and as they think convincing, arguments of these colored men who favor a white president for Howard is that the president for the university, for the college and for colored man can be found equal to such a task. Dr. Barker T. Washington founded Tuskegee and developed it to its present amazing status, raising, himself, all the several millions that have been expelled upon Dr. D. Washington spoken of being colored men. Indeed he himself publicly admits it. The president of Howard University is not called upon to solicit money from any source except Congress. Congress appropriates all that is required for the keep and improvements at Howard in the institution from the institution's endowment fund. The president of Howard makes out and files with the Secretary of the Interior each year an estimate of the appropriations required for maintenance and improvements. He goes over these estimates with the Secretary of State, and is able to provide the Secretary of the Interior that the estimates are just warranted and needed these estimates, along with other estimates, are transmitted to Congress. When the Appropriation Committee of Congress approves the appropriations Howard appears before the committee, explains the estimates and urges their allowance by Congress. If no colored man can be found who can do this then Howard University itself has been a face and the advancement of the face has been backward rather than forward. ```markdown ``` somewhere," and rarely has its threshold held because "it has no ability to give faculty members in a social way. Such a condition could not, obtain were the president a colored man. Howard University is recognized everywhere as a colored institution of learning. Its faculty, for the most part, are faculty members, and their colors are colored men. In a few years Howard has gradually, surely, and without compulsion changed from an institution of learning for all classes to one for colored alone. If it is not time now for the selection of a colored man, it will never arrive, in the opinion of those who cling to the servile "not time" argument. If in all these United States no colored man can be found equipped for the presidency of Howard, then Howard, and every other colored institution, must have been and instilling it colored young men and women a false hope. If a white man of 18, Thirkield's caller could prove a success as president of Howard University, then there are many colored men who may be as eminently successful. There is no intention to disparage Dr. Thirkield—only to give full credit to men of our own race. ELKS TO HOLD A CONFERENCE. (Continued from page 1.) Grand Lodge being omitted. Its objects are defined in the certificate are similar to those branch organizations in this state and elsewhere. The evidence indicates that its membership is made up chiefly of colored corporation and its branches are exclusively white. According to one of the witnesses of about 90,000 colored kills in the United States, "While the question of color creeps up in the evidence in this record, it does not constitute a violation of the litigation. The rights of the parties have been determined in the courts below and must be adjudicated here precisely as they are in the cases with corporations were all of the same color. Names Were Confusing. The grievance of the plaintiff is that the defendant has presented a comme designed to defame the plaintiff by the imitation of the plaintiff's name, seal, emblem, membership card and the titles of the plaintiff by the findings of the trial judge at Special Court by the Appellate Division which prevailed us from considering any of the points of appeal upon the alleged insufficiency of the plaintiff's name. There is one question of law, however which may appropriately be discussed, since the law is precisely passed upon by this court, and that is the right to injunctive relief against the unfair and misleading use of corporate or financial interment association, where it is not carrying on any trade or industrial or financial business, the action of a similar body in appropriating its name. The appellant strongly asserts that the law protects only trading and there are some expressions in the opinions of English judges which apparently do not countenance, however, in this state is clearly and conclusively shown in the able opinion of the late Mr. Jusitien Patterson in the case of the case of 1812 in the State of New York (46 App. Idr. 568, 572, where it was distinctly held that the mixture of a corporate name was not confined to business corporations, but extended equally to homelien and patriotic corporations where the laws of this state which have nothing to do with a strange condition if the law could not protect them in that which it has encouraged them to do. His reasoning and concluding argument and command our approval. See also, Salvation Army in United States v. Salvation Army, 175 App. Dt. 268, 274. We think the judgment goes too far, however, in forbidding the defendant from those borne by the officers of the different those borne by the officers of the different We can perceive no valid legal objection to the use of such titles as exalted ruler, esteemed leading knight, titer, etc. by any other than those of the officers of its officials. This is a harmless imitation of the plantif, complimentary rather than otherwise. The prohibition against the use of such titles, to wit, purple, white and white, should also be stricken from the judgment. A case might arise in which the use of a particular com- partment arrangement of colors ought to forbidden forbidden criminal prohibition as this can be sanctioned. The chief practical effect of the present judgement is to compel the defendant to adopt another law, which is referred to the Elks. Its organization is not interfered with, and it may continue to exert its influence on members deprive the name of an animal, there is a long list of beasts, birds and mammals that are not for such a purpose. It is only the virtual misrepresentation that they are Elks that is concerned here. The judgement is to be modified by striking out the provisions in regard to the names of officers and the colors used by them, and as thus modified affirmed, without costs. Cullen, T.

WALTON* --- OBNOXIOUS STAGE TERMS IT is the claim of Thomas Heaney Sr., manager of the Capitol Avenue Theatre, Cheyenne, Wyo., that such objectionable nicknames as "coon" and "nigger" are commonly used on the stage by colored performers playing his houses, and he suggests that in order to put a stop to the use of such terms of derision he should people first come home so as not to give white performers any reason to employ expressions calculated to occasion resentment. Manager Heaney, who is quite popular with the members of the 9th Cavalry, stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, expressed himself on the subject in a long letter addressed to the colored soldiers, who, while recently attending a performance of the Al G. Fields' Minstrel at the Capitol Avenue Theatre, took exceptions to some of the lines used by the minstrel men. They wrote Manager Heaney a letter blaming against the use of objectionable terms in local theatres, which might a reply from the theatre manager. The correspondence between the soldiers and Manager Heaney, while somewhat lengthy, is full of interest and, to my mind, worthy of producing in these columns. The communication of the members of the 9th Cavalry to Manager Heaney follows: Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, April 10, 1912. Thomas Heaney, Cheyenne, Wyoming. My dear Mr. Heaney: To the colored patrons of your theaters—and we may add to many of your own race—those terms are mean, theasteful and wound the fear feelings of the audience. We have reached that stage of intellectual development which precludes from our tastes all the petty, mean and unthoughtful terms, remarks or reflections cast in our direction from the store, the modern school of learning developed by us. We expect most good resulting from the modern play and when attending a performance it is with the idea alone that the production, no matter the class, tends toward development rather than to the store, the modern school of learning acts on the part of the actors. This note is sent sou purely as a request and we hope that the same spirit which has prompted your past excellent conduct of both houses may well upon your good work and touch the store, the modern school of harring equity alike to all your patrons. We make it lengthy so that all points may be covered carefully as seen by colored patrons. We refer particularly to the trilo act, the first half of last season, the second and subsequent appearance of Al G. Field's Minaret at the Capitol Avenue Theatre. Bear in mind that our note refers alone to the terms quoted above, and not to the more face of black faces, etc. We must be careful with that of the actor in believing that the play is not properly effective with such terms omitted, rather do we take the terms seriously, successful and lasting by the omission. In conclusion we once more respectfully request that the above terms be placed in a notice, with the request for the actor to be involved in all acts. We may justly further add that no idea of a concerted action against the patronage of either actor is contemplated or desired. Being more careful with the foot of this note might lead you to no consider the subject. Far be it from our minds, our intentions or desires to enter into a controversy in the mat- Respectfully Frank W. Love, sgdn. sergt major, $9th Cavalry; Andrew J.

Following is Manager Heaney's reply: CAPITOL AVENUE THEATRE. Sgt. Mal 9th Cav., U. S., A., and Gompatriots. Gentlemen: In reply to your communication of the 18th inst. taking exception to certain expressions bordering on ridicule of the colored race, by the Atlas Trio the Minatrels of recent date the the Capitol Theatre. I am in perfect sympathy with the stand that you are taking, and, in a general way, with the views that you express. However, this much of the "Atlas Trio," after the first performance, the objectionable sentences in three plays the Field's Minatrels, after the first set the phrases that might have given offense were not used, which may convince you that the management is alive to the conduct of the performers. It is difficult to draw the line in the right paper—may where comedy ends, where tragedy begins. It is not the policy of either the Atlas or Capitol Avenue theaters to give offense to anyone; rather, the ? aim in to purvey clean entertainment, and stive pleasure and happiness to all in the distribution. Unfortunately, we do not discover the pinhead performance in the ruffian in his sputteringers. As to the treatment of the Negro if others felt as I do in the matter he would be accepted on his merit just as any other citizen, but you or I can't, in a day, remove the prejudice of ages. I come from a race that has institutions and injustices of another race; and I believe the knowledge of the history of my forefathers have ever inclined me to the side of the downtrodden; to take the part of the weak to stand up for the underdog, but to stand up for the United States, I long since concluded the black man was, so say the least, unfairly treated in many ways in the land of his nativity; seemingly without a remedy. I feel the remedy, and to my mind, the colored man has it right at hand, though it may take some time LEON W President of the to cure the evil. It is within each normal member of the black race to live the life of, high aspiration, each to encourage the other to moral, physical, mental and character but to encourage the other to produce the full proportion of eminent men to find their way into every field of human endeavor. You will. I think, agree with me that the field within the race to do good will be the field within the race to produce that is open to day has a field of opportunity that is open to no white man. Then I say to you, go forth and do what you can for the uplift of your people. Go not as a fault linder, petty disturber or not as a professional boycotter; but as a educator and philosopher, even after the manner of Booker T. Washington. Be optimists, for as a race you are in your youth; you are bright, musical, happy and cheerful, and the smiling boycotters. As soldiers you have shown your fitness for the profession of arms; no one questions or doubts your valor; you have, on the western plains and in foreign climes shown how brave you are, and how hard you are to hardships and sacrifice themselves in the cause of duty when needs be. Your officers, from the second lieutenant to the general commanding, exteem you as men to be relled upon the observations and circumstances and they are careful to observe of your welfare and the treatment you receive. I know this, for I have spoken with many of them on this subject in recent years. I might continue this strain at length, but I must ask the question. I gone thus far in the explanation of the part I take in the conduct of the business of the Capitol Avenue and the Atlas theatres, also an explanation of my own views of the race question, fully understand my attitude; not with idle pride for your favor or trade, but from a sense of decency, right and justice. I shall in the future, as in the past, God willing, direct the conduct of business to the best of my ability, with honor or favor, in the hope of meriting the indorsement of the general public. May I call attention to the performers of your own race—Richards and Prinkle's Minstrels—in their humor, pits and pastimes; in their delineations and impressions. Careful the burlesque and satire almost to the point of libel. The same may be said of numerous colored acts that have appeared on the Athas boards. I am informed that the nicknames, "coon," "oligier," etc., are of common use amongst your own people in the way of benter and repartee, from which I infer you should begin at home in the correction of the matter you complain of. You may go far and travel wide to find a place where the Negro At MANHAT Dance Music b is treated with as much consideration as in Chicheme; where the ethics generally have given their study and training in a general way. I believe it would be unwise, for obvious reasons, to post notices on the stage, dressing rooms and in the lobbies as you suggest. The effect might be the reverse of that being. And now, my friends, "Tis all to laugh." We must hold the professions and. the occupations of men in the service of the humorist and the theatrist, the virile nurse—the Englishman, Scotchman, Irishman, Italian, Swede, German, Jew, the New Englander and the American Negro. Take these off the stage and put them in a child-like place indeed. I trust you perceive that a one-night provincial stand can scarcely lay down rules for authors, producers or managers of attractions, nor go far beyond the stage or stage routine puruated by them all through the nation. Yours very truly, THOS, HEANEY, Sr. NEW C. V. B. A. COMMITTEES.

The Wilson Trio, with new songs played a return engagement their previous success. Billy Cummins is now doing a single turn. It is too bad the team of Wilson and Cumby separated. Both are clever in their line and by sticking together would have hit the big time eventually. Both would have a good act by making several changes. In the first place the male member unnecessarily takes up valuable time trying to crack jokes which no one can see with a telescope. With more singing by the young woman and more dancing by her partner they would attract favorable attention in the East.

A parade preceded the sermon and the members presented a most creditable showing. Two years later, the members directed from the splendid appearance of the members, which gave the Bronx something to think about. The sermon was forceful and impressive and as such, could only be delivered by one person. The Rector Clifton impressed on the Mechanics that the name of the organization is to build and two things most essential are building of character and manliness, and on those principles of virtue. At the conclusion of the services the Rector complimented the order and invited them to visit St. David again. The officers are: Edward Taylor, I. G. J. H. C. frithish of the Mechanics, S. J.

The club colors and in the menu and the scheme of decoration. On the table were cut glass bowls filled with buttercup, and from the candelabra in the centre, with its yellow butterfly shades, ran narrow yellow ribbon around the place; cards—vari-colored butterflies poised ready for flight. Just before the end of the delicious repast, a letter was brought to each of the guests through the "Butterfly Post." The letter contained different questions appended to the letter and their reading caused much merriment. After luncheon the guests repaired to the library, where still more fun was occasioned by a game called "Lepidoptera." Its object was to form a net and hide the "Lepidoptera" (the order of insects commonly known by the name of butterfly and moth) in two minutes. In this, the first pidge went to Miss Margaret Johannes and the booby prince to Miss Lotte Jarryd. As the lagoon pictures were taken and singing and dancing brought to a close a most enjoyable afternoon. Utopia Club Arranging Big Meeting. The *Utopia Neighborhood Club*, which is planning the establishment of a temporary home for the detention of delinquent colored girls, is arranging for a mass meeting on June 16 at Church, 161 West 23rd street, Sunday, June 22. Hon. William H. Lewis, assistant attorney general of the U. S., and Lawyer Emanet K. Coulter, former clerk of the Children's Court of New York, will be the speakers. James L. Curtis will preside.

BORN TO THE NEW YORK AOR. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—When John R. Lynch, colored, of Natchez, presented himself at the en- troduction of the Speaker's lobby of the house last week and asked B. F. Hortell, a doorkeeper who hails from Georgia, for admission to the sured 'precincts of the House floor, he started a flurry which lasted for more than an hour. Before Lynch had completed his visit, he was occupying a seat in the House and calmly discussing matters political with some of the older Republican members, despite blank looks from Southern Demorats. Lynch is a former member of Congress from Mississippi. He served from the Third District of that state in the Forty-third, Forty-fourth and was temporary chairman of the Republican convention that nominated James G. Blaine in 1884. He is now retired paymaster in the army with rank of Major. When Lynch was stopped by Heartell and announced his desire to go up the floor of the House, Heartell made a wild-eyed dash to Speaker Clark for directions. The Speaker made inquiries and ascertained that, as an ex-member, Lynch was entitled to the floor, and issued the necessary pass. Lynch remained about an hour. A. & M. COLLEGE Educational of Students Working at Respective Trades on Stage One Is the Features of Exercises. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Normal, Ala., June 4.—The commencement season just closed at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Normal. Ala., marks one of the most successful years in the history of the school. Beginning with the baccalaureate sermon Sunday, May 19 and ending with the regular commencement exercises Thursday evening, May 21 a series of programs was rendered in a pleasing manner. The baccalaureate sermon by the Rev. F. L. Weir, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church of Huntsville, was one of the strongest and most effective that has been delivered in the history of the school. On Sunday night the anniversary of the religious societies took place and the annual address was delivered by Rev. Dr. L. J. Green, of Florence, Ala., Dr. Green is one of the best prepared men of the race and his address is the bright and fortnightly question. On Monday night May 20, the annual oratorial contest was held. Possibly the most spectacular of all the programs was that of the industrial department Wednesday morning, May 21. On this program the students told the audience how things should be done and at the same time they showed them by doing them in the presence of the audience. Among other interesting things done on this occasion a cake was installed by a young man, the engineering department and present was put together by a representative from the tailoring division by way of illustration a young cookeled and served a palatable three left-over food. This illustration of economic importance to the household. In the meantime the men were flying from the black-roofed navel, the saws and hammers in carpenters were ringing, new-painting and other trades which they taught at the institution were in central operation on the stage for upward of thirty minutes. The closing exercises of the Presbyterian Department, under the direction of Prof. Hopkins, were held Wednesday evening, may 22. The program was a splendid success and as on other occasions, Prof. Hopkins showed that he had spared no pain to make his work in that department a success. The climax came Thursday evening, when the regular commencement program was rendered. The graduating class was represented by four of the members who discussed in a most intelligent manner various subjects teaching school and community improvements and problems of industrial importance to the Negro and the South. Following this part of the program, President Walter S. Buchanan awarded certificates to a class of nineteen promising young men and young women and the honorary diploma to Prof. George W. Patterson, who is local demonstrator for the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., in Madison county. MORGAN COLLEGE CLOSES. Signed to THE NEW YORK AGR.

SCARBOROUGH, President. at Union, he went to an eating house with his grip. He was called out of the eating house, he says, and marched down the track at the point of a revolver. In an old gin and cotton house, he found the ten or fifteen white men with four buggy whips. He was forced to remove his clothing, he says, and was beaten unmercifully. He says he was struck on the head with a revolver, knocked and cuffed about, and warned not to work on the run again. Despite his wounds, he ran and walked to Stratton, the next station, when released, and caught the train there. When he came here, it was necessary to bandage the greater part of his thighs. Welts stood out all over his body, and there were cuts on his head and neck. McAlpin has been in the mail service six years. He ran four years between Birmingham and Greenville. He resigned in December, but recently made application for reinstatement. WIGS WIGS WIGS The only Importer and Manufacturer of REAL CRHOLE CRIMPY HAIR; also NATURAL WAVY HAIR.

Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair and with it the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one hour, last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is one because it does not another preparation the world like. The ward of $100 for any head of hair 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 causing bruising or hair loss. We promote a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps 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 who purchases Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. When ordering send registered letter, postal money order or express money order.
