Leading Ingro Newspaper AFTERMATH OF JOHNSON MUSS To Prevent Intermarriage Between Whites and Blacks Introduced MIGROES ARE ATTACKED Congressman Roddenberry Man- ages to Get into Print by Seek- ing to Stir up Racial Strife Measure Become Law by Congressional Enclosure United States Supreme Court Would Give Adverse Decision. Special to THE NEW YORK AUSTRALIA WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec. 18—As was expected, Southern Democrats who seldom get into print except by making savage attacks on the Negro in the halls of Congress, have taken advantage of the Johnson-Cameron incident to air their views on the race question, much to the disgust of hundreds of legislators who are Washington to make just how or all citizen dead of seeking air up racial strife. Congressman Roddenberry of Georgia got into the night last week by introducing a bill to abolish the Constitution so as to prevent intermarriages between whites and blacks. It was Roddenberry who, during the last session of Congress, opposed sessions for colored veterans of the Civil War. The majority of legislators know full amount to ascend the constitution so as to oppose against intermixeders be- came, whites and blacks would be de- fined unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court and have not been the Georgia Congressman seri- ously. During his outburst Roddenberry said: "Nothing will contribute more to the popular development and wise administration of a republican government than for the people in their legislatures to understand this resolution, to provide that however before it shall be contrary to the fundamental law of the Republic for a Negro or a part Negro or an African or a part African to intermarry and adopt the same description. The effect of this resolution is to submit to our nation a constitutional amendment for this purpose. "Before if you will, an African prizeholder—would keeper, in defiance of the law of the State of Illinois in accordance with the law of the State of Illinois in accordance with the municipal regulations—entering the office of a probate magistrate, calling on him to issue: to me, Jack Johnson! to me, John Johnson! to me, white woman, a woman of our own color. When a clerk signs, but air, except under given rules you cannot get it, forthwith the African turns to a superior and demands it, and the clerk is directed by his superior to grant a legal certificate permitting a white woman in Chicago, U. S. A., to be bound in the wreck of black slavery. Buffalo Northern Congressmen. The day, Mr. Chairman, during another discussion, we have already heard something from our Northern colleagues teaching the slavery of the Negroes of the South. No brutality, no infamy, no segregation, no slavery, posessed such wilfulous character and such great qualities as the permission by the laws of Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and other States which allow the marriage of the Negro Jack to a white woman. Gentlemen, I offer this resolution that the proper committee may consider it and that the States of the Union may have an opportunity to rush it. This is no amendment that we can as being peculiarly favorable to the interests of the portion of the nation that section far to the South of us such is the relation between the two such is the relation between the two such is that no African within all of Africa land carries in his heart the hope of liberation in his mind the aspiration can ever lead there to the alar of matrimony a woman of Caucasian land. You have some Negro problems up North in this country yourself. The above question stands out in the example of Johnson's marriage in Chicago to a white woman. The question is ever confronted your brethren in the South; and I say to you, in the Northeast, but in the depths of good friendship, that we in that far-off land will be glad, in the love of love and humanity, to aid you in its proper and to wise and its permanent solution. The record of Johnson's marriage is the records of Boston, the records of Chicago, and the records of other cities show that Negroes less prominent, of less notoriety, are from time to time binding themselves in electricity with weak and unfortunate diseases of the white race. Gentlemen, they not happen in the North, they God not have our brains in the North, of its recurrence. It does happen in the North; it does happen in the West; and I say to you that we are barely new, without the abitament of men without an appeal to arms, because a great four years' deluge of white blood, to join with you in the South, and in fellowship in the great Negro problem that The New York Age. UNITE TO HONOR WHITMAN Men of All Political Faith Attended Dinner Where. Mayoralty Blam is Launched-Collector Charles W. Anderson and Assistant District Attorney Cornelius W. McDougall Present. The grand ball room of the Hotel Astor was crowded to its capacity last Thursday evening by friends and admirers of District Attorney Chas. S. Whitman who had gathered to pay him homage for his signal services to the city. It was in all respects one of the most remarkable tributes, ever paid to a District Attorney of New York. Frederick C. Tanner, of the 25th Assembly District, in which the District Attorney resides and under whose auspices the banquet was given, was toastmaster. Other speakers were Senator Horah of Idaho, George Gordon Battle, Talcott Williams and A. Barton Hepburn, the storm of applause burst forth last week and the latter was minutes later: "The host has been faithful over a few things; we will make the ruler over many." If the applause which greeted this sentiment may be regarded as significant, there is no doubt of the desire of the District Attorney's fellow citizens to make him the next Mayor of this city. Following are a few excerpts from Judge Whitman's address: "Keep the District-Attorney's office out of politics. No matter what your alliance may may ever be, the voice of noon-night familiar at all with the conditions knows that I am right. Whatever may be its power for good in this community, and I believe that that is great, it can be used as an instrumentality for evil and as can no other office in the land." "Evil conditions, if they exist, continue only by the permission or on account of the indifference of the people, who after all are most vitally affected. One of the citizens demand that they shall be. The saying that New York is as good or better than another city of another land perhaps does not answer the questions that have been uppermind in the public mind during the last few months. That there is to-day in New York a public dislike and an increased sense of personal responsibility in the affairs of the city. I believe all keen observers will agree." Among prominent men present were Alton B. Parker, Democratic candidate for President eight years ago; Cornelius Vanderbilt, Judges Malqueen and Swan, Chief City Magistrate McAdoo, Chief Justice of the Court of Special Sessions Russell, Justice O'Brien of the Supreme Court, ex-Congressman Bennett, ex-Congressman Parsons, Congressman Calder, State Chairman Wm. Barnes, Jr.; County Chairman Samuel Koenig, Controller Prendergast, Borough President McAnney, District Attorney Cropsey of Kings County and John D. Rockefeller. Collector Chas W. Anderson and Assistant District Attorney Cornelius W. McDougald were also present. EXERCISES AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY EXERCISES AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY Dr. Stephen Newman Inducted in Office Before Distinguished Gathering Friday. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17.—In the presence of a distinguished assemblage of men and women of both races the Rev. Dr. Stephen Morrell Newman was inaugurated President of Howard last Friday afternoon. He succeeds the Rev. Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkield, who was elected a bishop of the M. E. Church last May. The exercises were held in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel of the University. The inauguration procession was formed at the library and led by the University choir to the chapel. Following an invocation by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Chief Justice Stanton J. Peele of the Court of Claims, who as president of the board of trustees of the University, presided, delivered into the hands of Dr. Newman the seal, keys and charter of the University. President Newman, in his inaugural address, declared that the Negro could succeed in any calling. He said that the force of imagination must be strongly present in the being of every person of achievement. The colored people are rich in this element of creative imagination, he declared, and are, therefore, called upon to hear their full share of the burdens in the general uplift and achievements of the races. He concluded by counselling peace and brotherhood, and urged that the time for cooperation among the peoples of the earth is at hand. Senator Charles F. Johnson of Maine brought the greetings of his alma mater Bowdin College, of which both Dr. Newman and the late Oliver Otis Howard, founder and first head of the university, are graduates. Philander P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, said that Howard University was the center of Negro education on this continent. Dr. Henry C. King, president of Oberlin College, and Dr. W. S. Scarborough, head of Wilberforce University, also make addresses. After the inaugural ceremonies a reception was given at President New- Wood Claims He is Not Fighting Bishop Walters, but Politicians Want to Know What He is Doing. Another chapter was added to the comedy of errors, wherein the Wood-Carr faction attempted to boycott the non-partisan banquet to Bishop Walters on the evening of December 4, but failed dismally, when, at a meeting of the Executive Board of the United Colored Democracy, held Friday evening, a resolution was jammed through censuring all members of the local Democratic organization who attended the banquet. Most of the session was consumed in attacking those affiliated with the United Colored Democracy who had ignored the command of Wood to remain away from the affair. Only a few of those who participated in the Walters banquet were at the meeting, and when called upon to explain why they had disregarded the wishes of Wood were not backward in declaring that they had gone to the banquet because it was their personal privilege and did not propose to be treated as children and weaklings. Several members of the Executive Board present did not favor passing the resolution of censure, but they did not have the nerve to object. It has been argued that the members that while mentioning the members of the United Colored Democracy do not relish the scar-like methods of Wood and his lieutenants, yet they do all their criticizing on the outside, and when they attend meetings are as meek as lambs and do as they are told. Politicians believe that the resolution of Obama is going to make matters worse. The members of the United Colored Democracy who attended the Walters banquet exhibited pluck by paying no attention to the edict of Wood, and many expect to see them raise a rumpus because the Executive Committee sought to give them a calling down. Wood occupied the floor most of the time at Friday's session of the Executive Board, and on one occasion declared that he was not aware that the colored Democrats of the country had elected a leader; that at Baltimore in July he had been selected chairman of the Executive Board of the Democratic League, but no leader was chosen. The fact that Bishop Walters had been elected president of the league at a previous meeting held in Washington have passed out of the speaker's memory. With the approaching Mayoralty campaign already being talked of, and the big fight Tammany is in for, those who study politics from all angles say the attempt of the Wood-Carr faction to turn the Walters banquet into a political gathering will precipitate a fight which disgust hundreds of colored voters who have regarded Tammany Hall with favor. A peculiar feature in connection with the fight being made on Bishop Walters is that the Wood-Carr faction is not attacking the churchman in the open, but is trying to cover up its work, which is being crudely done: Although Carr claims he is opposed to Counselor James L. Curtis, not Bishop Walters, few can understand what political position Counselor Curtis occupies that has provoked a spirit of jealousy and occasioned so much anxiety and concern. The Man Farthest Down By Booker T. Washington Author of "Up from Slavery," "My Larger Education, Etc. This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From Slavery," and the great beauty of it is that it is filled with such optimistic observations founded on solid fact and deduction as "Bad as conditions are in some places, I don't think that I visited any place where things are not better now than they were some years ago." His journey was a journey among the saddest spectacles in European life. As he says: "Some people will think, perhaps, that everything I was looking for was commonplace or bad, and that I avoided everything extraordinary or worth while looking at. My only excuse is that I was in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst. I was hunting for the man farthest down." The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for him. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1912. WESLEY L.

In investigating the Negro business enterprises of Harlem the past week The Ace representative made an effort to find some of the new and lately established business concerns. Business prosperity among the Negro proprietors is very good and a spirit of optimism is generally prevalent. Four years ago in the parlors of her home at 49 West 134th street. Odessa Warren Grey opened up a hat shop, furnishing the colored women of Greater New York an opportunity to secure the latest product of Parisian and New York millinery without having to be humilified by the prejudice shown Negro customers in some of the white shops. Six months after paying increase of the business necessitated larger quarters and the shop was moved to 41 West 135th street, where it is now located. That the colored women appreciated Mrs. Grey's effort is shown by the constant and steady increase of business. Mrs. Edward Warren, her mother, is actively engaged in the business and a talk with her brought out some interesting facts. Mrs. Warren said that the volume of business during this year is sixty per cent. greater than last year, and the amount of patronage received shows that their effort to give satisfactory service is productive of splendid results. They have a good class of white trade also, selling bats to patrons at the hotels Astor and Plaza and several private residences on Fifth avenue. Some customers have been with them since the twentieth century, the shape they see for South as Aiken, S.C. and Texarkana, Tex. They already do a good mail order business through New Jersey and Connecticut, and in a short while a special illustrated catalogue will be issued. The firm employs four to five apprentice girls regularly, and enjoys a credit with the wholesale establishments to any amount they care to buy. Barbershop Has Haberdashery. The Gilt Edge Barber Show is located at 27 W 135th street, and Robert Johnson, formerly of Augusta and Savannah, Ga., is the manager. It is the Harlem headquarters for a number of the most prominent men of that section, and during the five years of its existence has built up a splendid clientele. Four chairs are used, and the workmen are John Boyd, formerly of Norfolk; Nelson Jackson and Frank Reynolds, besides Mr. Johnson. For the convenience of customers, a nice line of haberdashery is carried, and their stock of shirts, collars, ties, handkerchiefs, socks, cuff buttons, scarf pins, collar buttons, etc., is complete and varied. A graduate from Prof. Rohrer's School of Beauty Culture, Mme. Margaret Carroll Orr has opened at 121 West 133d street, the French-American Beauty Parlor and School of Beauty Culture. Her elegant parlorers have only been opened about three weeks, but busy with their customers and pipel Manicuring, scalp treatment, facial massage, Marcel waving, hair dressing, shampooing and hair work are taught and a diploma awarded those who finish the course.

HOLDS LAST MEETING AT THE WHITE HOUSE Special to THE NEW YORK AUE WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17.—At the final meeting of the Jeanes board of trustees at the White House, Saturday, the old officers and committees were re-elected. Booker T. Washington presided. President Taft, Andrew Carnegie and other prominent men were in attendance. The officers are: President, James H. Dillard, New Orleans; vice-president, Walter H. Page, New York; treasurer, George Foster Peabody, New York City; secretary, Robert R. Moton, Hampton, Va. Executive Committee—Booker T. Washington, chairman; David C. Harrow, James H. Dillard, H. B. Frissell, Samuel C. Mitchell, J. C. Napier, Robert L. Smith, R. K. Moton, secretary Finance Committee—George Foster Peabody, chairman; Walter H. Page, Bolton Gilead. This meeting, which President Taft, who is one of the trustees, pointed out was the last they could hold in the White House, drafted a resolution of thanks to him for his courtesy in allowing the meetings to be held there from time to time during his administration. George Foster Peabody, the treasurer, presented his report, showing the present market value of the $1,002,000 of securities belonging to the fund and how they are invested. It was decided to disburse the coming year the sum of $35,865 as salaries to supervisors for the fund of the colored rural schools. The Jeanes fund was one of $1,000,000 bestowed in 1908 by Miss Anna A. Jeanes. The interest on the fund amounts to about $50,000 a year, and this income is being used to promote the effectiveness of the Negro rural school by introducing industrial features into it of a simple and practical sort. Washington, D. C., Feb. 18. There was a net decrease of the officers and a net increase of 4.455 enlisted men in the authorized strength of the regular army last year. General Andrews observed that regiments serving in the United States and having the lowest percentages of desertion and the Twenty-fifth Infantry, both colored organizations, which showed desertions of 1.52 and 1.00 per cent.

Washington Speaks in Interest of Hospital Association Local Physicians Expect to Collect $50,000 in Order to Build and Equip Hospital After Meeting at Abyssinian Baptist Church Tuskegee is Entertained by Doctors. That the Negroes of New York shall have a hospital built, equipped and managed by and for Negroes was the verdict given by an assemblage of more than a thousand people at the Abyssinian Baptist Church Thursday evening December 12, when Dr. Booker T. Washington spoke in behalf of the McDonough Memorial Hospital Association at a rally held to interest the people of the city in the plans of the association. The spacious auditorium was filled to capacity with people who are interested in the hospital association, and a wave of genuine enthusiasm swept through the audience as the objects and needs of the association were laid before them by the various peakers. The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D. pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church presided. The audience, representing people of every walk and chase, after invocation by the Rev. W. H. Brooks, D. D. pastor of St. Marka M. Church, attended to short addresses by Dr. H. M. Griffin, chairman of the committee on arrangements for the meeting, and Dr. P. A. Johnson. Dr. Griffin spoke of the work accomplished by the association in the past three years, money being raised to pay off all indebtedness against the charter, which accumulated during the years the charter was held inoperative. The legality of the charter authorizing the operation of a hospital for colored patients was also established. Two thousand five hundred dollars has been raised. All expenses of the association have been paid, and there is a balance of $1,500 in the treasury as a nucleus for the fund of $0,000 which it is hoped to raise as a starter for the work. It is planned for the immediate future to build and equip a hospital and put it at the service of the Negroes of New York. Many Efforts Made to Acquire Charter. Dr. Johnson told of the efforts of the old hospital association, and gave some of the reasons for failure of its plan to materialize. He had held the charter intact during all the years it was inactive and preserved it for the use of the new McDonough Memorial Association. The Jews of the East Side had offered $75,000 for the use of the charter, but the offer was refused, as the selling of it would have deprived the Negroes of their opportunity to secure a Negro hospital. The principal speaker of the evening, Booker T. Washington, was introduced by the presiding officer, the Rev A. C. Powell, who said that a sign of racial unity and progress was the establishment and maintenance of race institutions and race enterprises in the North as well as in the South. "If the Negroes of the North are behind the Negroes of the South in racial development it is because the leaders of the race in the North are so afraid of drawing the color line they put a white blanket over everything that looked distinctly racial. The establishment and conduct of colored Y. M. C. A.'s, industrial schools, colleges, hospitals and business enterprises are making us manly, because they give employment to our own and are institutions in which we are taught the important lessons of self-control and self-direction," the speaker declared. A great ovation was tendered Dr. Washington when he arose to speak He had been referred to by Dr. Powell as "one of the seven great men of the world," and there is little doubt that the audience assembled were anxious to show that they agreed with the characterization. In his address he referred specifically to the changed conditions which meet the Negro coming to the North from the South. Climatic differences are not understood and changes in clothing and manner of living are not made to meet the new conditions. The consequence is that many ailments which the Negro of the South is unfamiliar with are contracted by the Negro in the North. The speaker voice the need of proper maternity hospital facilities for Negro women. "Other hospitals cannot and do not offer the same care and attention for the colorer mother as a hospital managed and directed by colored physicians and nurses," he said. There is an element of sympathy and a desire to render help in the one that cannot be looked for in the other because of the absence of the Mike Marcel will answer through this column questions of interest to women. Address her in care of THE AIR. HERE AND THERE. "Behold, we bring you glad tidings of great joy. In Bethelhem of Judea in born this day a King who shall redemen His people. When suddenly there was with the angels a multitude of the Heavenly host praising God, and saying: 'On earth peace, good will toward men.'" Do you want to enjoy Christmas in feeling and spirit? Then make the day brighter and happier for someone less fortunate, than yourself. Seek out the aged, the sick and destitute, and the little ones—for whom the festival is really intended. I am sure the orphan asylums would be glad of your help, and don't forget the tots of Hope Day Nursery at 114 West One Hundred and Thirty-third street. There are fifteen children at the Union Rescue Home Mission, 64 East One Hundred and Thirty-third street, who make appeal for your bounty. This home provides a refuge for destitute colored women with their children, but is little known except among those who have need of its help. It is maintained through the efforts of a few consecrated women. None of them is well off in this world's goods, but they take it as a matter of course to share with the homeless and friendless who call upon them. After providing the bare necessities there is nothing left for Christmas merrymaking, so here is a chance for a practical demonstration of God's love for the Christ child, whom coming made possible the celebration, and whose later uttered words ring down the ages. "Immam as ye have done it unto one of the heart of those, my brethren, ye have done it unto me." I notice that, some of the creme de la crème of Washington society, in meeting assembled, solemnly deliberated as to whether we should be called "colored folk" or "Negroes." It was a grave oversight that they failed to assure us just as solemnly that "there is nothing in a name unless we put something to it." Therefore, if "Choc-taw" be our appellation, what does it matter? We can dignify it or degrade it; that rests with the individual. HOT SPRINGS, VA Hor SPRINGS, Va., Dec. 17,—J. E.

The colored man had divined his nationality and thought to teach him a lesson, so he spoke to him in his native tongue. The man was in turn bewildered and incredulous, and finally he looked as happy as if he had found a long-lost brother. He profusely apologized for his behavior, and sail he had been told that Negroes were very ignorant and, in truth, just the scum of the earth, except Booker T. W. Washington, and he just naturally concluded the colored man couldn't help him. The two conversed together for some time on different subjects and the upshot of the matter was the foreigner—who had been here on a visit—invited the colored man to visit him should he come to Europe, for which country he was then preparing to sail.

Gene Perry to determine the victors in the competitive games of love and basketball, all of which helped to make up the two-act musical force, "Who Wins?" which was produced by the Amethyst Club. But the principal winner of the coming was the play itself, which, to use the language of the turf, "tame into the stretch pulled up," with the performers perched upon its back. Talking into consideration that "Who Wins?" was presented by amateur stage folk, even the most critical who witnessed the show will have to be charitable enough to admit that the youthful thespians gave an exhilarating performance—one which redoubles move to their credit than discarded. True, some of the numbers were a bit ragged in spots, but the comparison taught the amateurs a lesson—that rehearsals, not one or two, but many of them, are absolutely necessary to ensure a smooth performance. Even professional actors must spend much time in preparation. So Thursday evening one could readily determine the numbers with which the actors were on greatest terms of intimacy. The book and lyrics of "Who Winn" were written by R. E. McPherson. Edward H. Ramson compiled the music Jesse A. Shipp, the race's most prominent stage director, staged the numbers. In "Who Winn", Mr. McPherson has not been compelled to overstate his imagination to get atmosphere and material, having happily taken his characters from the younger set in Harlem. The characters therefore ring true, and the life and custom of the better element of colored people are portrayed, rather than the low types we are oftens compelled to see much in our chinim. There are some lively numbers in this show, also some melodies once, and some were made more enjoyable by the "business" used by Mr. Shipp in staging them. One member of the cast bore the stamp of professionism—Miss Blanche Dean, who not only phone forth in her vocal efforts, but had plenty of lines behind the footlights. Miss Dean first song—"In the Game of Life," won the approbation of her auditors, who were not selfish with their applause and insisted that she give them some more. Miss Dean, who capped the role of Mildred Weston, has quite a bright future in the ranks of professional actors. Although Miss Deas was the only professional in the lot, there were a number of young ladies in the show who impressed as being "wear professionals," even if they have never been on the stage. For instance, there was Grayon Loe Cook, who sang and danced "Tennessee" with more fervor and agility than many who appear behind the footlights for bread and butter's sake. She seems to be quite an apt pupil of ragtime, and rumor has it she was engaged by Aida Overton Walker to go with an act directly after Thursday evening's performance. Bessie Perkinson, as Derva Dune, had the leading female role, and she is another who could get a job as a real actor lady if she wanted to. Miss Perkinson led quite a strenuous existence, as she had several songs to sing, appeared in all the principal scenes and changed her active with as much frequency as a vanderville artist doing a single turn. Mine. Linda Robinson-Jones aided in making the performance a success as Mine. Richard, and she pleasingly sang "Good-bye, Dream." In commenting on the "near professionalism" in "Who Wants?" I would be guilty of spite work if I did not refer to two little folks—Vanessa Brodie and Rosie Singleton—who romped about the stage, sang, and talked as if at home in the dining room. All crowds took alibe to this precaution pair. Harlem also has some good dramatic talent in its young men. Andrew Bluth and Became Wright played the parts of lovers as if it was perfectly natural for them to distribute sweet, mainly talk. Lonny Archer possesses histrionic talent well worth while developing, and G. Ed. Brown, M. L. Fryer, Lonny Archer, William Linton and Frank Thomas did commendable work. Casio Norwood, Hartnell's most promising amateur coupon, was manning, but a little incorrigible button robed him of the honor of springing the biggest length of the evening. It was not in the book. I do not mean the button, but the image. The button was on the trousers worn by Rosie Singleton, who was playing the part of a boy. In her whirlwind motion about the stage, the mean little button ran away from its buttonhole, and as a result the trousers worn by Rosie started to desert her. Fortunately the scented danger just in the nick of time, preventing a catastrophe. Among the songs showing that the chorus had given some attention to preparation were "Pa and Ma," by Vandie Brodie and Rosie Singleton; "Tennessee," by Grayce Cook; "My Firefly," by Kelia Scottron, and "Harlem Rag," by Blanche Deas. In the chorus were Grace Fowler, Eva Miller, Beatrice Garrett, Carrie Lander, Nellie Caldwell, Ruth Foster, Nellie Baldwin, Gladys Harrison, Magnolia Macon, Beaulah Conyers, Jane Lavantore, Milred Gussoway, Ethel Lavantore, Dunter Miller, Henry Taylor, Hutchins Bishop, W. Scott, William Sumner, Harold Parker, Dunnell Smith and Lauritz Berry. women all over the United States, for they have a mission to perform in the future that will be of insignificant value to the cause. True, the demand for col- lected chimpanzee is not great at this time, but when the clouds roll away and the outbreak is brighter for colored actors it will be those who not only have educated voices and feet, but who also possess educated brains, who will be given preference.

To the Sporting Editor of The Age: In answer to Dean Brawley's query in a recent issue of The Age concerning the right of Howard, Lincoln and Hampton to claim the championship, I take his opportunity to reply to his question. The writer of this article has lived in the South the greater part of his life, and he is very well acquainted with the ability of the Southern football teams, so he writes this article not from a bliss standpoint, but as one who has closely followed football both in the North and the South. Howard has claimed the colored championship for the last four years by virtue of her unbroken string of victories over Lincoln, Hampton, Shaw, Union, Livingston, Annapolis and Tuskegee. These teams comprise the strongest colored teams in this country, and all of them have been defeated in a clear cut and decisive way by Old Howard. There is at Atlanta Baptist College in Athens with a good team, but the first year Howard defeated Tuskegee 18-0. Tuskegee had played a scoreless tie with A. B. C. The next time Howard played Tuskegee, her team was the undisputed champion of the South, and Howard played all over her and defeated her 22-0. Now, if Howard has not a fair chance or a just right to claim the championship, I would like to ask Dean Brawley what is the right way to claim a championship? Harvard claimed the championship this year not by winning from all the white colleges in the country but by virtue of her unbroken string of victories over Harvard and the East. Howard has had the same record, if not a better record, than Harvard, why can't she claim the championship? The good football teams, both white and colored in the South, have never been able to compare favorably with the teams in the North and East. While A. B. C. has a very good team in the South, a team so good as to win over all of her rivals in her part of the country, her teams and her rivals are vastly inferior to the teams in the East. Now, if Dean Browley takes issue with the veracity of this article, I would like to suggest to him that Howard is open to any date this year or any other year to defend her title which she has rightly won for the last four years against the ambitious youths from Georgia. Thanking you very much in advance for publishing this article, I am, Yours truly, CHAS. T. LUNFORD, Ex-Athletic Editor of Howard Univ. Journal. Smart Set Defeats Wicomas.

United Colored Vaudeville Exchange Managers, Beware! Of the Male Member of the Team of Lewis and Lewis, Whose Cuts Appear Herewith JOHN H. HARRIS About four months ago I booked above act. Wired tickets ten days before time to open, also wired instructions about where to get tickets, etc., with privilege to wire at MY EXPENSE anything that might occur to prevent him being on time. Act was to open on Monday; four days before Monday Lewis wired, "Be there Saturday." Act did not get in Saturday. Monday came and act did not get in. Wired Lewis. "What is wrong?" Got no answer. Three days after time to open a certain Mr. White came in on one of my tickets and said Lewis told him to tell me that his wife was sick. Three days later got wire from Lewis, "Tried to get team to take my place, could not do so, will come alone now." Waited several days, Lewis failed to appear. Wired him to send me my tickets, as same was void day after date of issue. Also had refund on ticket stopped. Later wrote him at his last address, also in care of The Freeman; both letters were delivered, as my return address was on both envelopes. I have waited all this time in order to give Lewis good time to square himself. I have not heard one word from him since last telegram above referred to. Am always willing to send tickets when necessary to good legitimate acts, but won't stand such actions as above. Am running this ad, in the interest of managers and the profession generally. This ad. has cost me several times the value of the tickets already and I shall spend several times more. I shall run it in every colored paper of any value in the United States to show this fellow up. Ticket is worth just so much blank paper to Lewis; to me it is worth face value. It would cost Lewis just 2 cents to send same to me. Papers having a circulation among managers and performers in the South send copy and rates.
