VOL XXVI. No. 16. INSTALL NEGRO WAITERS IN TROY Colored Help Put to Work at Hotel Rensselaer Last Sunday Evening John McGlynn, President of Hotel Men's Association Says Colored Men Should be Employed Hotel Man Claims Foreign Service is Not What its "Cracked Up" to Be—"Give the Negro a Fair Chance," He Says. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Troy, N. Y., Jan 14—Parrons of The Rensselaer were served Sunday night by colored waiters brought along with cooks from the South to take the place of the force discharged by the proprietor, John McGlynn, Saturday night. The new service, Mr. McGlynn admitted, was a little slow, but he said it would be up to date in every respect in a day or two. The change from the white men in black coats to the black men in white coats was a result of the strike of the hotel cooks and waiters which has been in progress in Albany for a week and extended to this city Saturday night. The demands of the employees were presented to Mr. McGlynn and he signed the document, but only as a ruse to protect his trade for the night. He discharged the entire culinary force of about fifty-five men and paid them off. He had prepared for the situation which arose, having engaged an entire force of colored cooks and waiters, and they arrived Saturday morning. The discharge of the old force was accomplished without trouble of any kind. A detail of policemen from the Second Production was at the hotel to preserve order, but the officers were not called upon to act. The men, mostly foreigners and nearly all from New York, received their wages and departed without attempting to make a fuss of any kind. None of them was seen about the hotel Sunday, and it was said that the majority of them left the city as soon as they could pack their belongings. Mr. McGlynn is the president of the State Hotel Men's Association and his action is looked upon as significant of the intention of the members of that organization to resist the demands of the cooks and waiters throughout the State. It may mean a return to the eloquent men who were supreme in all the principal hotels in the North about a quarter of a century ago. Commenting on the matter, Mr. McGlynn said: "I know, of course, of the trouble in Albany and Schenectady, and that they would ultimately come to this city with their demands. It was this reason I went to New York and arranged for the colored men to be sent here from the South with all possible hate. The new force will be on duty Sunday and guests of the hotel will not be inconvenienced. As a matter of fact, this foreign service is not what it purposes to be anyway. First there came the French cooks, and then the Germans, and finally Americans seemed to become imbued with the idea that their food was not properly prepared unless it was put together by some one with an unpromountable name, hardly able to Englishize. In a mistake the colored men cannot be surpassed in the culinary line. The only trouble is that the American people have not given them a fair chance. In the future they will serve patrons of The Renselecker and all the dishes will have good old American names. I can give assurance that there will be no discounts to patrons, such as have often been reported in the past, and that the service generally will be improved." BIG REALTY DEAL Special to The New York Age MORRISTOWN, N. J., Jan 14 — The biggest real estate deal ever consummated here was closed last week in which John W. Lewis, Jr., the coltier, real estate broker and builder, figured. It is said that $50,000 worth of property was included in the transaction.

RUNS AMUCK; KILLS WIFE AND SHOOTS 2 Andrew Broughton Then Attempts to End Own Life—Recovery Probable. While in a jealous rage, Andrew Broughton, who resides in the Arkansas apartment house, 100-102 West 139th street, shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Leonora Broughton, and also shot Mrs. Fannie Auld, 22 years old, and Mrs. Julia Moore, fifty-seven years old, Monday evening. Then the frenzied man turned the weapon on himself, sending a bullet just below his heart. Broughton will probably recover. Wednesday the two women were reported to be on the mend. Broughton shot, his wife four times. Three bullets were found in her head and one through her heart. Mrs. Auld was shot in the left side and neck, and Mrs. Moore was shot in the right arm. In his frenzy Broughton ran through the apartment, discharging his resolver at random and threatening to kill everybody he saw. He stopped his promiscuous shooting only when he saw men rushing toward him to disarm him. Then he shot himself. Many narrowly escaped injury. Joseph Auld, husband of Mrs. Fannie Auld, was fired at point blank by Broughton, but was not hit. Mrs. Moore has an apartment of seven rooms on the fifth floor of the Arkansas and rents three or four of her rooms. The Broughton rooms are in the rooms and the Auld rent two Monday evening. Broughton came home and found Auld playing a mandolin and Mrs. Auld was at the piano. Mrs. Broughton was singing. Broughton is insanely jealous of his wife, and after a few angry words began to shoot. THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY ST.

Plans for the building were drawn by a firm of Negro architects, Tandy & Foster, 1931 Broadway, and the erecting was done by Reid & Miller, 103 Park avenue. It is absolutely fireproof, the only wood used in the construction being the floors, railings and pews. The parish hall, parish home and rector's residence are on the 133d street from, and here the various activities of the church are housed and provided for. In the parish hall building, 213-15 West 133d street, the top floor is fitted up as a gymnasium for boys and girls. It occupies a room 38 by 57 feet, with a ceiling twenty feet high, the space that would be occupied by two floors.

The interesting feature of this chapel is that the altar and reredos are built from wood taken from the reredos of the old church, which was located on West 5th street. The main auditorium of the church will seat about nine hundred. Entering from 13th street, the first thing that strikes the incomer's eye is the beautiful and costly altar of white marble, with the redos of French cane stone. The altar is the one erected in the old church as a memorial to Peter and Anna Ray by their children, with figures of the four evangelists added to make it long enough for the new building. Two adoring angels bower over the golden cross in the background, and the arrangement of hidden lights by which the altar is illuminated produces a most superb effect. It is estimated that this altar could not be reproduced for $10,000. The lectern is in the shape of a brass eagle, and the pulpit is of solid brass. The choir rail of white stone extends the width of the chancel and forms a base for the pulpit.

LATEST "PIPE DREAM" New Orleans Negro Home-Office to Establish Banks, Hotels, Insurance Companies, Etc.-Wants Only $12- 000-Proposes to Sell Stock at $1 a share. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. NEW ORLEANS, La., jan. 14.—A. O. Smith, a Negro of this city, has evolved a scheme which he calls the Chicago Hotel and Restaurant Company, for the establishment of twenty hotels for Negroes, to consist of 325 rooms each; twenty banks, twenty real estate offices and twenty insurance companies, one of each to be located in twenty different different cities, and one national Negro newspaper. Mr. Smith's utopian scheme, a veritable "pipe dream," according to his estimate, will require a capital of $12,000,000. He is offering stock in this wonderful dream of at $1, per share, and although the company is not organized, he, as a self-appointed national organizer, is tendering the important offices to men of his own selection, and fixing the salary for each. Here is Mr. Smith's plan: We have plans for a national effort among our people to build twenty buildings in twenty different cities at a cost of $600,000 each. The buildings will consist of a hotel eight story high, with $25 rooms, a national bank, a state and insurance company. The bank will have $100,000 to operate it. The real estate and insurance offices will have $5,000 to operate them entirely on the ground floor. The twenty buildings for the bank will be $12,000,000. Stock will be $1 per share. Six dollars or six shares in twenty different cities amount to $120. It will take 100,000 persons at $120 each. These buildings will be located in Jacksonville, Fl. D.C. to Jacksonville, Fl. to a state. Fifty cents will be added for a national newspaper. For $120.50 we will own stock in twenty different banks, twenty different companies, twenty hotels and roof gardens. $100,000 to operate the bank or $2,000,000 to operate the twenty different banks. $50,000 to operate the real estate and insurance offices. $50,000 will furnish one hotel and roof garden or $1,000,000 for the twenty hotels and roof gardens. 100,000 times 36 cents for a national bank. We hope to have a body qualify as national secretary. The national officers will be: National president, national secretary, national treasurer, national real estate bank, national real estate company, surface inspector, national newspaper manager, national attorney, national insurance president, who must be a doctor. The national office must accept that of national president, will begin at $2,000 per year and all expenses for those who travel. In order to become a national officer Mr. Smith calls upon those men he has asked to accept national office to "open across" with a loan of $3,000, which he assures "will be returned in twenty-four months at a liberal interest." CUT OFF INDIAN APPROPRIATION Democrat from Texas Opposed to Negroes and Indians Attending Hampton Together Special to THE NEW YORK AME WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15—The Negro is already reaping some of the results from a Democratic administration. For over twenty years during the time that the Republicans had control of the government, Congress has made a generous appropriation to the Hampton Institute for the education of a certain number of Indians. This appropriation has now been withdrawn from the Hampton Institute. A Democratic Congressman from Texas who is chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs in the House of Representatives, objected to appropriating money to a school where Indians and Negroes were taught in the same class room. He took the ground that Indians should not be permitted to associate with Negroes on terms of social equality, hence the appropriation which has continued for so many years under Republican control has been withdrawn. It is presumed that the Negro Democrats are satisfied in seeing their race thus insulted, but the end, it is feared, is not yet. Has Largest Circulation HOGTIED; THEN BEATEN TO DEATH Federal Authorities Told of Brutal Crime Committed in Alabama BORE A GOOD RECORD Charles Carson, Whose Body was Buried in Cabbage Crate, was Well-Liked in Community Mrs. Carson Escapes to Tell Officials How Three White Men Called at Her Home and Dragged Husband from Bed. Special to THE NEW YORK AQU. Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 14.—Federal District Attorney Warren S. Reese has made public the story of a brutal and horrible crime which was told him by Mrs. Alice Carson of Dallas County, whose husband, Charles Carson, was bog-tied and beaten to death on the night of December 20, and his mistreated body, buried in a cabbage crate. Mrs. Carson has appealed to the Federal authorities for protection, fearing for her life if she should ever enter Dallas County again. District Attorney Reese is unable to interfere, as the crime took place outside of his district. The story related by Mrs. Carson in the District Attorney's office is a tale of fraudiness probably unrivalled by any that has ever taken place in Alabama in the past. She stated that her husband was a renter on the plantation of Bruce Hanes, a prominent Gunner in Dallas County. Carson was formerly employed at the Louisville and Nashville shops in Montgomery, where he have a good record. Her head bound in cloths beneath which was he edge of an ugly scar, which she said was inflicted by a blow from a pistol butt in the hounds of one of the white men when she plead for her husband's life. Mrs. Carson sat a tearful and pathetic figure relating the story of the crime to District Attorney Reese. She said that between eleven and twelve o'clock on the night of December 20, five white men came to her home. After shooting through the two of the door they demanded that Charlie Carson get up and let them in. She said that her husband recognised one of the voices, and thinking that he would give him protection told her to let them in. They dragged the Negro man from his bed and carried him into the yard where they tied his hands and feet and then placing a stick back of his knees bound his two hands to the ends of it, bending his body into a stooping position. Mrs. Carson said that they began beating him with a heavy bungy snake interspersing their blows with kicks in his side which crashed in his ribs, causing them to pierce through his body and become visible through the strunks of blood that flowed from the openings. She stood by and pleaded for mercy when she said one of the men struck her hard blow in the forehead with his pistol and told her to hush. He then took the trace and beat her on the back, the scars of which she exhibited to the district attorney. The woman immediately ran from the scene of the tragedy, realizing that her husband was being killed and fearing for her own life. Later she was informed by relatives that after Carsove had been killed the three men refused to allow them to take charge of his corpse and bury it in a cement box, assuming the write themselves using a cabbage for a coffin. She said that she was told by her relatives that a dirty blanket was thrown into the crate with its ado, the top nailed down and the whole cast into a hastily made grave. U. R. F. STATEMENT.

Smith of Minnesota May Something to Say on Proposed Legislation Against Internationally Seen to be Introduced in Minnesota Legislature. Special to The New York Auck Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 12. Strong protest against the proposed legislation on intermarriage of races, which is to be introduced in the legislature by Representive Ninocks desiring the coming legislation is made by Brown S. Smith, a lawyer attorney with offices in the Sykes block. He says it will be the first instance in the State's history, should it prove successful, where all men are not equal before the law. He had the following to say: "I have read with no little interest the various newspaper reports of legislation contemplated by Representative Nimocks during the coming session of the legislature, on the subject of intermarriage between the races. "It is a sad commentary upon our civilization when the action of one Negro, a common rounder at alley, and a white woman, if not of dourful character, at least of questionable reputation (and both 500 miles away), can attract so much undeserved attention and bring down upon the heads of struggling and persecuted people such widespread contumely as this. "Speaking for the liberty-loving people of this great commonwealth, and for the Negro race in particular, I desire to say that his one wish is to be let alone and to be allowed to work on (though in the face of tremendous odds) his own problem, that while he does not seek or desire amalgamation of the races, and has the cherished home and desire of retaining the racial individuality of his own, he nevertheless writes bitter protest against any law being passed upon the statute books which has him out, as it were, from the cost of mankind. "And, again, I would suggest that the 3,000,000 mulattoes in America are immutable witnesses of the list of white men, rather than the sons of Negroes; and paradoxical as it may seem, these people are the product of the lines of the Tillmans, Vardemans, Jeff Davies and Blesses." WASHINGTON. D. C. Washington, January 15. An effort is being made to have Congress appropriate at least an additional 55,000 in the annual budget for Howard University, with which a graduate department in which it is located has been established. It is pointed out here that Washington affords unrivalled facilities for those who desire to pursue a course, vast quantities of data being accessible in the various libraries. Those behind the project say that the growing economic importance of the race and the fact that college is out to the larger life make such a feature urgent, especially since a knowledge of historical and political science is desirable to those who would, as teachers and publicists, blend their knowledge with efforts in behalf of creating a better conception of the history of the world. Alumni and friends of the university will be represented by a project related to write Senator Warren.

MISSIONARY WORK IN AFRICA The spirit of missionary work among the Africans in Africa is far from dead among the white church workers of the United States and Europe, especially Great Britain. Not long ago a large number of white missionaries left Philadelphia for foreign fields of labor, some to Asia and some to Africa, but the most part for Asia; last week seven other whites left Philadelphia for British East Africa, German East Africa and the Belgian Congo, "where, with the permission of the directing Governments, they will attempt to spread the Gospel of Christianity among the savage Negroes of the Kikuyn, Masai and Akamba tribes." The missionaries gathered at Philadelphia from various sections of the United States. The American Board of Foreign Missions, with headquarters in Boston, was organized in 1810, and is the oldest foreign missionary society in the United States. During its one hundred years of work it has sent out 2,600 missionaries, of whom some 610 are now in service, and expended $40,161,789. It has workers in East Central, Southern and West Central Africa. Nearly all of the white churches in the United States have well-established foreign missionary departments or contribute to the work through other Boards. It is not possible to estimate the calculable value of missionary work done for the redemption of Africa alone, but some idea may be had of it from the statistics of converts to Christianity now in Africa, as follows: African Catholics, 2,655,920; African Protestants. 1,744,000. This is a small showing as against the 36,000,000 African Mohammedan, in a total population of 127,000,000, but it may well be taken as "the little leaven that leaventh the whole hump." It represents a century of hard work and untold sacrifice. The end of the present century may show a larger Christian than Mohammedan population in both Africa and Asia, who have been denied the full powers of the Faith since the first century, A.D. It may be possible for the Negro to make substantial progress in social and industrial work and secure and enjoy the best results of it without the right to vote, and without adequate protection to his life, limbs, and property, but the history of the struggling races of the past does not so prove it; nor does the present struggle of the proletariat of Great Britain and Europe and the Jews of Russia. What history, experience, does not teach we have a right to challenge as problematical, if now dangerous. As bearing us out in this view, in an article published in the New York Times, January 11, on "Southern Lynchings," Dr. Booker T. Washington says: "While waiting for education and civilization to do its work, it is important that those who are placed in authority in the South—the Governors, Judges, Sheriffs, etc.—do their complete duty in preventing lynching, and that every citizen do his duty in removing the causes that provoke lynching. The various African church denominations in the United States have foreign missionary departments and are doing work in Africa which is yet in its infancy and results. The African Methodist Episcopal Church maintains two Bishops in Africa—Bishop J. Albert Johnson in South Africa and Bishop William H. Heard in West Africa. Bishop Johnson has been active in his field ever since his election five years ago, and reports a good and growing work, while ill health has kept Bishop Heard in the United States and away from his work the greater part of the time. This is much to be regretted, as the work to be done is very great and urgent in its claims upon those who have "put their hands to the plow." It is true the white Methodist Episcopal Church also has a white Bishop, Dr. Hartrell, and a Negro Bishop in West Africa, Dr. Isaac B. Scott, but the latter also spends as much if not more time in the United States than in West Africa, if we are correctly informed. "My own belief is that lynching is unjustifiable, however, for any cause. There is no doubt but that recent utterances, which strike the average man as defiance of law and order, on the part of certain officials in the South cause a certain element of white people to break out afresh in the direction of night riding, lynching, and burning. This is notably true in certain sections of North Georgia to stop these outrages upon the colored people. an extent that white people have appealed to the Governor of Georgia to stop these outrages upon the colored people. "It is also notably true that since the words which seem to defy law and order were spoken by one of our Executives in the South more colored people than usual have been lynched for alleged crimes that were more or less trivial. For example, in one of our States a colored man was lynched for "refusing to give evidence," another was lynched for being "impertinent," and still another for not paying his debts. "Ignorant white people are likely to take a Governor at his word when he, in a public utterance, gives the impression that any white man who claims that a Negro has committed a certain crime can, without even waiting for judge or jury, kill that Negro." How can the Negroes of North Georgia, or other disturbed centers, and there are plenty of such centers all over the South, have a free mind to work out their social and industrial uplift in a condition of terrorization? And will the Governor make the needed response for relief of a persecuted body of citizens without votes as against a body of citizens who do vote and who voted for the Governor to whom appeal is made to curb them in their lawless and outrageous acts? Hardly. Human nature is so constituted that it is more disposed to side with those who side with it than to side with justice for justice's sake. The Ace favors the election of native African churchmen for the work in Africa, and we believe all of the African denominations in the United States will ultimately adopt that policy, as being best for the work. We put emphasis upon the statement that the Negroes of the United States are vitally interested in the growth of a great English speaking Protestant Negro empire in Africa, such as Liberia is capable of becoming, and we say so because "coming events cast their shadows before." and himself in the most unkind way. Political parties no longer compose themselves with him or his problems, except to hamper him more and more as a man and citizen by class legislation of the most oppressive and injurious character. Far from being discouraged, the Negro should concentrate his thought and his work all the more upon the problem of making the most of every situation he finds himself in and every condition that confronts him. Two hundred thousand garment workers and the organised workers in the hotels and restaurants of New York, and of many other cities, are out on strike or threatening to go out. More than this: the industrial workers in many other employments are on strike or threatening to go out on strike. Unrest among industrial workers is not only Nation wide but world wide, as every day's news dispatches prove, so that the condition seems to be universal rather than National and local in character. All the signs of the times indicate that the people of the earth are undergoing a radical change from the old life to the new life, as the direct outcome of higher and better aspirations of mental, moral and industrial growth. This growth has been slow but sure, 1913 years old, in the building up of the Christian home, church and Nation, by the inventions of mechanicians and the discoveries of scientists, and by the desire of the toilers everywhere to enjoy a more even and equitable distribution of the joint products of capital and labor. Higher standards of growth require better physical conditions of living, and it has gradually dawned upon mankind that these cannot be obtained and enjoyed if the machinery of government is entrusted to or allowed to remain in control of those who use it to defraud and oppress the many for the benefit of the few. It is decidedly discouraging to learn that leading army authorities at Washington have under serious consideration the expediency of recommending the disbandment of the four Negro regiments of the regular army. It is discouraging because there are reasonable grounds for expecting that the recommendation will be made, and, if made, acted upon favorably by those who have the final disposition of the matter. But this final disposition should not be made without the most concerted, wise and dubborn fight to prevent it which the race has ever made. To allow it to be reached without making such a fight would be to the lasting discredit and injury of the ten millions of people, citizens in good and regular standing, concerned. Social and industrial unrest has been followed slowly by organized movements in many directions for social and industrial uplift. In the last Presidential election the question had so far become political in character that all of the party organizations were not only committed to it but the issues of it, as to men and platform declarations, were determined by it. That President-elect Wilson so regards the success of the Democratic party and his own election we should by quotation from his Staunton address in the leading editorial article in The Age last week Before and since election former President Roosevelt has laid special emphasis upon this view of the question, while the investigators of the Pujo Committee of the Federal Senate and recent decisions of the Federal Supreme Court under the Sherman law, show that the money of the nation, and the productive industries and the common carriers by land and sea, are all combined in restraint of trade competition and to fix and regulate charges and prices for their own advantage and profit, and that the Federal Government possesses the power to legislate to protect the consuming public from the injustices practiced upon it by such combinations in restraint of trade. The four regiments concerned are the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. They are officered throughout by white men, which is an outrage, with the exception of three or four commissioned officers, who are for the most part placed on detached service and not allowed to serve with their regiments, in order to prevent their contact with the white officers. The social phase of the army life is and has been thus placed above "the good of the service," a subterfuge which dissolves in thin air in times of war and corrupts the whole army service in times of peace. We call our Nation a Republic, and our citizens proclaim it loudly in every capital of the earth that they are "the only democrats," but we have more caste of race and occupation and class than any other Nation. We have a vulgar aristocracy of wealth and not a refined democracy of intellect and character. The questions of wages and profit sharing and working hours and the sanitary conditions in which labor is performed, together with the question of woman and child labor, are all related in the general contention for social and industrial betterment and uplift through the instrumentality of governmental agencies, State and Federal. Even the federated churches of the land, as we showed in this column in the issue of January 2, headed, "New Purposes in Church Work," are committed to the same work, with "equal rights and complete justice for all men in all stations of life" as the foundation upon which to build. The Social Democrats of Germany, France and Great Britain long ago inaugurated the work, and have accomplished a great and lasting good for the wage workers in every department and relation of industrial activity. - The four Negro regiments of the regular army have a record for service and efficiency second to no other four regiments of white soldiers. They have stood the fighters' test of bravery and department in times of war and peace, but they are objectionable to the social faddists in the army and to the Southern white communities which think that Negroes are good for nothing except to draw water and hew wood for them. The rowdyism among them at Brownstle, if there was any, which was provoked by Texas toughs and Mexican greasers, and for which President Roosevelt discharged a whole battalion without trial and without honor, has been duplicated within the past year by white soldiers in Delaware, Florida and Kansas. Soldiers have ways of their own, which civil law and public opinion do not countenance, but have never been able to correct, and never will be until the war drum beats no longer." Much has to be for forgiven soldiers as much has to be for given school youngsters. The fact that all men have political equality of right under the Constitution of the Federal Government and the several States was so far accepted by the conventions of the Republican, Democratic and Progressive parties as not to have been made an issue at all. Emphasis was laid only upon the question of social and industrial uplift. As far as white persons and those classed as such are concerned this is fair enough; but there is nothing fair about it as far as black persons and those classed as such are concerned. Far from it. The Federal Courts have justified the right of States to disfranchise black persons and those classed as such and of corporations and private business concerns to discriminate against such on "account of race, color and previous condition." The saving clause "equal" and "alike" in all such laws are construed in favor of white persons and against black ones. It is encouraging to note that as race and caste prejudice are growing in the Republic of the United States they are steadily losing ground in the Republic of France, which is making a point of honoring Negro soldiers in her North African army and has just made a Martinique Negro a captain in her navy. Her example in this matter will certainly be followed, of necessity, by Great Britain, Germany, and other European Nations with large and increasing spheres of influence on the vast Continent of Africa. Let us hope for the most and fight for the best to protect our interests in the regular army establishment and in all of the other related interests of our manhood and citizenship. THE NEW JERUSALEM In a recent issue of THE AGE, discussing phases of the Balkan war, we declared that Palestine, the land of Canaan, and especially Jerusalem, the City of David, should not be dominated by the Mohammedan Turks but by the Christian nations. Wherever they are located the Christians of the world look towards Jerusalem as the city of their Lord as the Mohammedans look towards Mecca. Every Moslem would venture his life to prevent the Christians from occupying and ruling at Mecca. The ambassadors of the Balkan States, who have been conferring in London upon the conditions of determining the results of the Balkan war, have been asked by the Roman Pope "to wrest Palestine forever from Turkish domination, or else to guaranty permanent sanctity to holy places and pay to Christian pilgrims." On the heels of this the anti-clerical newspapers of Italy unanimously advocate "the creation of Palestine into a permanent and independent temporal kingdom for the Pope." The proposition might appeal to good Catholics, as the Papal See is virtually without a kingdom in Europe, as Italy has denied its pretensions to dominate in the affairs of state as well as church matters and cooped it in very restricted territory in the city of Rome, "the Niobe of nations, voiceless, an empty wrist within her withered hands," but it would not appeal to Protestant What then? The Negro has his political as well as his social Europe, which is dominated by Protestant Great Britain, France, Germany and the Scandinavian States, nor by the Protestant United States, Canada, and the Australias, which dominate the Occident. The Christian Powers no longer regard the Roman Pontiff as the head of the Christian world, as they did at the beginning of the Napoleonic wars, in the seventeenth century. Then, too, the claims of the Jewish people are to be considered. Of, late the Zionist movement has done much to repatriate and rehabilitate Palestine and Jerusalem, and it is the fond hope of Jews everywhere that a remnant of them shall be gathered there, with a king of their own to rule over them again in the City of David. They should have their fond hope realized. The Christian Nations owe the Jewish people enough to make them a present in perpetuity of Palestine. Let the Jewish people have their New Jerusalem. THE MARK OF CAIN. Gov. Tener of Pennsylvania has recommended to the Legislature that the municipal charter of Goatessville be taken away from it, because of the failure of the people of the municipality and county to punish any of the criminals guilty of taking Zack Walker from the hospital and lynching and burning him because he killed a policeman in a scrap. The State did its duty bravely through its legal department at the time of the trials, but the people of Coatesville and security failed to do theirs; now the Governor asks the people of the State of by their legislature to brand the criminals as unworthy of sovereign citizenship. Coatesville has had troubles of its own ever since the lynching a year ago, and it looks as if it would continue to have them. It has written death and misfortune upon the brows of all of those guilty of the lynching and burning and condonation of the savagery and they will not escape the price. It is a fearful thing for the people of a Christian community to have branded in their foreheads in letters of fire: "We be murderers" by their fellow citizens of the Nation. EDITORIAL NOTES. The postal banks and parcel post service are already great successes. The old saying has it that the world owes every man a living and the new saying has it that if each man does not hustle late and early for his due the other fellow will get it. There you are. The Federal Supreme Court has just decided that "Trade Corners" in foodstuffs or other commodity of general use are criminal, and those who make them can be prosecuted under the Sherman law. Very good. Gamblers in the price of foodstuffs are in the class of murderers. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Times says, and wisely, that "the high class race journal introduces the Negro to his progressive self." The other sorts need no introduction. The Federal Government has convicted 28 of the 40 labor union dynamitors and conspirators who have long been on trial at Indianapolis. The questions in dispute between Capital and Labor have got into partisan politics and better conditions than those that now prevail should be worked out. Baltimore has Negro schools and teachers, but, says the Baltimore Times, "the men who have charge of the health of the colored students are white," who do not give the children proper attention. The health authorities are asked to designate Negro physicians for Negro schools. Why "students" instead of pupils? Bishop Berry of the Methodist Episcopal Church thinks that the gravity of the political situation is such, due to the impending radical change of parties and national policies, that "all Christian people should give their sympathy and prayers for the coming administration of President Wilson." And, yet, there are those who look flamboyantly upon the situation. Philadelphians drank 55,347 less barrels of beer in 1912 than in 1911, and 271,421 gallons of whiskey, and the increase of rowdyism and crimes against persons and property has kept pace with the increased consumption of the more intoxicating liquors. Neither the State nor the Federal Government should legalize and license the sale of intoxicating liquors. As long as they do so immorality, crime and poverty will increase among the whole people, with consequent loss of national strength and character. The Illinois Chronicle hopes "that a change for the better is to be the order of things, and that our experience of the past fifty years will help the race to do better, requiring better ministers, better leaders, more gospel of industry, of work, of thrift, of education and of right principles generally, to the end that the race may come into its rightful inheritance of the earth and the glories of eternal life in the world to come." That is all of it a reasonable hope, and there is plenty of good foundation laid in the past fifty years upon which to base it. "The Republican party is not dead," says the New York Times. The line-up of 2,000 leaders of the party at a banquet in New York a few days ago and the good-natured speech of President Tuft proved that the Democratic party is not good. But the answer to the challenge the position of power it has lost for the time being, there is a big job on the hands of those who are to shape the further fortunes of the party. Gov. Suller of New York not only believes in and practices simplicity in public station, but he believes in boming his own job. He says he is the leader of the Democratic party in New York State, because the Democrats in electing him Governor made him such. President-elect Wilson stands by the Governor in this. He says if party leaders want to talk over matters with him they are free to do so, whether they are conservative or progressive party leaders. This is as it should be, but very much as it has not been in a long time. Evidently we are going to have some great politics during the next four years. "Is Saul also among the prophets?" asks the Philadelphia Record. O, yes; he got among the prophets when Saul of Tarsus had his name changed to Paul of Benjamin and became the chief apostle to the Gentiles, the Philadelphia Record included. He was descended on the one side from Saul of Kish, who was also of the tribe of Benjamin. Now, the father of all the Benjaminites and Ephraimites was Mizraim, the fourth son of Ham, a direct descendant of Calm through Lameth, the father of Nosh. The white man owes the black man more than he will acknowledge; and yet he owes more to Egypt which is Mizraim than to Greece which is Rome of Christian philosophy, of mystic orders and of mechanics and handicrafts.

With grateful hearts. Committee. New York City, Dec. 27, 1912. The Segregation Amendment in the M. E. Church. To the Editor of The Ags: In the Southwestern Christian Advocate of November 28, Dr. J. W. E. Bowen discusses, "Should the Amendment Be Adopted by the Annual Conferences?" He answers yes. He argues the question under five propositions. His first proposition is, "The Church does not need a Negro General Superintendent for general work in Methodism." That is not the question of will, and never has been, and never will be fulfilled. He argues that cruel monster, prejudice. The limitations of a Negro superintendent have always stood out more prominent than any other feature of the question. It has been, elect one under the general rule, and then him by the "unwritten law." It has been decided that such an election might not be safe. Therefore, we have on its passage a proposed written law, which is the question under discussion. The Dr. Paul no worry about a Negro General Superintendent. He will never see one. His second thought is that the election of such an officer to-day would destroy the "social peace, the purpose of the machinery, and cripple her work in the Church." It is the prime thing in the Church. What effect does the doctor think such an election would have on that? I knew Brother Robert Hargis, a colored local white church, be up a revival in a white church by his predecessor called upon by Brother Melvaine, a white local preacher. But in this second question the doctor is off of the subject also because he is still discussing a Negro general superintendent amendment about a Negro preintendent. He surely is interested in the white membership. He reminds me of the washerwoman, who always washed the white people's clothes were present. When the white people were present, Wow, he thought of the harm of such an election years ago when a certain brother was running so far behind in the espionage race quadronally more than once. His third proposition is "The Negro is the man who wrote law lest he be charged with his bounds." I reckon he is the only one that fears such an accusation. His fourth thought is the colored people prefer written law to unwritten people because it is more easily repealed. He is about the color of the mind, a thinking enough about that feature of the subject to mention it. His fifth proposition is there is no distinction to the colored members under the law, and the colored professors law. Then, to back this he tries to make it appear that a black theological professor is equal to a white theological professor in Methodism. He may say that a white law favorable to white professors for white law ought to have added there is also an unwritten law favorable to white professors teaching colored students. There is an unwritten law favorable to colored students in Methodism, making an unwritten or a written law allowing them to teach white students, the white professors have two privileges the colored professors have one only. The doctor finally confesses the needed to be able to communicate with the child, high grades necessitate the parish of the colored population. The doctor is old enough in years and in experience he can to call himself a doctor. He cannot be held hostage by hair and fair and benign discussion. He is all that he is to be anyhow. Discuss the subject the way you think and pray. If he does not regard fear for his child, he might be mentioned "An afront to my manhood" or a curtailment to my opportunism. manhood must be porous with him, and he surely does not know when his child is curtailled. Respectfully yours. SYLVESTER H. NORWOOD, Baltimore, Md. THE NEGRO AND THE NATION The following is an editorial from the Congregationalist and Christian World of Boston, on January 2. Fifty years ago President Lincoln proclaimed emancipation for the Southern slaves. Upon that New Year's Day four million black folk saw the golden gates of opportunity swung to their hand. The nation placed the black man in the plane of citizenship, pledged equal protection for equal rights of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness. That was the white man's pledge. The Negro, upon entering the compact, assumed all the obligations of citizenship, swore fealty to our common country, and became our nation's head and shouldered his share of taxation and of civic and military service. That was the Negro's pledge. How have the pledges been kept? Ignorant, debased and deified as a race by slavery, the Negro made his Hercules. His Hercules has grazed his own, but where one has helped a thousand have discouraged and hindered his program. With marvelous courage, optimism and faith in God he has pressed on, and never in all history has a race made more prosperous than himself. He has left nothing that his detractions said the Negro could not do he has done. And the unworthy things predicted of him he has avoided as successfully as the white man. It has been well paid by the United States. The tribet of Columbia Supreme Court, that "the black race in less than fifty years of freedom has justified every claim of the Abelitionists. It has shown itself brave in battle, faithful in bravery, eager to learn, capable of acquiring and collecting what is able to noble, far-fearing leaders of its own blood." During the past fifty years the Negro race in America has increased from four million to ten million souls. Negroes have established great schools, have become the chief agricultural producers of the South, have acquired much of the land, and have success in every profession and calling. Statistics show that a larger proportion of Negroes in Virginia own their homes than of white people in Massachusetts. In Mississippi and Louisiana are more Negro farm-owners than white. Throughout the country there are more than a million per thousand of population than Negro, and the largest percentage of crime is committed by white men. The most bitter hatred and the most devilish retribution are meted out to the black man whose brutal lust leads him to attack white women. But the black man is not the Nergos home, rulers colored girls by the thousands, and there is hardly a protest from the race that creeps its self superior. In his childhood of freedom and citizenship the Nergos has made the mistakes of childhood. But aceris are the aplomb successes the richest race in calms education and finds opportunity. In casting up accounts on this semi-centennial we behold to the shame of our nation that fifteen Southern States where the Negro most numerous have the most powerful citizens fugue to exclude the colored citizens from the poll, even the most cultured, able and virtuous, while admitting to full rights of citizenship the most ignorant and oppressed. The Negro is fared for the support of a government in which he is refused a voice, to pay for schools in which he does not receive his fair opportunity, for the maintenance of public parks and roads, for the maintenance of road companies, for the same fate that the white man pays, force the black man into a "Jim Crow" car, dirty and cheap, while the white man rides in wholesome comfort. A similar injustice is faced in the North the field of industrial opportunity for the Negro is being steadily restricted. No words can express the inhumanity which has condoned the lynching without trial of sixty to one hundred each year during the past generation. All this injustice has not been because the Negro was ignorant or poor or vicious, but because he was a Negro, because of the race prejudice which has outlived the institution of slavery, and because he has become of the pledges made by our great nation and who has broken faith—the Negro or the white man? As citizens of this republic as members of the Christian church, we are face to face with a serious problem in which we have a personal responsibility to be enduring form of government, if any man is to be secure in the inherent rights of manhood and in the political rights of free government, there must be security for all men under that government. If the Constitution continues to be defended and theocracy in South Carolina will one day crumble in Massachusetts and Illinois. If justice for an oppressed race were the only issue, every Christian white man in America should spring forward to best in American institutions is at stake. The church in America is on trial. There is less danger from the Blesses and Vardamans and Tillmans. There is less danger from featuring their own ends, than from indifference of the men of influence, culture, scholarship and Christian profession. North and South, who do not help to move this blight upon our national life. We have faith in the white man; we have faith in the Negro; we have faith in the future of democracy or remain indifferent. The Negro problem is our problem and, while demanding of the black man industry, virtue and good citizenship, we must give him justice and punishment. We must give laws and enforce them impartially. If suffrage be restricted—and it should be restricted—we must bar all who are unfit and them only. We must educate them the proper place to the ablest and best. During the observance of this anti-victory season we need a new vision of the fatherhood of God, a new consecration to human brotherhood the world around new weaker and more rights new man for his manhood, recordless of color or race history, a new appraisal of every man his merit; we need a new birth of Christian love, which shall put an end to cant about superior and inferior races and christship, and equate nations by the Golden Rule of the Master. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH A WEALTHY CONGREGATION (Continued from page 1) The Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop has been the rector of St. Philip's for twenty-seven years, coming to New York from St. Mark's, Charleston, S. C., the first Sunday in January, 1896. At that time St. Philip's had a membership of 350; its membership now numbers more than 1,200. Under his administration the church has extended the sphere of its influence, broadened the scope of its endeavors and increased its financial strength. Besides its handsome and postly church edifice, the corporation owns also the building at 211 West 133d street, the rectory at 217 and the building at 219 West 133d street, and a block of ten new law houses each forty wide running from 197 to 145 West 133th street. The block emits thirty stores and 250 apartments. The management of their properties is in the hands of Nail & Parker, the real estate agents, and there is only one vacancy in the 260 places open for rental. The property owned by the church will total in value more than $40,000. Rev. Mr. Bishop Organized Young Men's Guild. When the Rev. Mr. Bishop assumed the rectorship there were no organizations in the church. The first to be organized was the Young Men's Guild, now twenty-six years old. This organization contributes largely to the support of the parish home and has supervision of the men's club. It is divided now into three groups—one to devise plans for the betterment of social and civic conditions in the neighborhood; one to increase interest in literary work, arranging debates, lectures, etc., and one to look after the musical interests. The last named is establishing a male chorus among its membership Dr. J. Milton Williams is the guild master. Twenty-one years ago the Brotherhood of St. Andrews was organized. It has a membership of twenty-one picked men, whose work is to foster the spiritual work of the church among the men, bring them to hear the gospel, keep in touch with them and interest the men generally in church work. They usher visitors to the church and welcome all strangers. Clarence W. Robinson is director. The St. Christopher Club was started by the curate, the Rev. Mr. Daniels, among the boys. As the boys grew older it was necessary to separate them, and so the work has grown until there are now four divisions—midgets, juniors, middle and seniors. This club looks after the athletic work among the boys and each division has its basketball team and baseball club. The Altar Society is composed of women of the parish who care for the furnishings of the altar and keep the chancel tidy. It is a feature of their work that all the vestments and altar decorations are their own handiwork. This society has made and presented as a memorial to Estelle Bishop, late wife of the rest of the rest who died April 26, 1896, a magnificent eucharistic vestment. The vestment, mantle and stole are of heavy white silk damask, with the orphery in pale blue, the white embroidered in gold palm branches, and set with large genuine diamonds, rubies, amethysts, opals and other precious stones. These stones were all given by individual members of the parish. Mrs. Bell Bourke is the Mission Work Among the Poor. President. The parish branch of the Woman's library to the Board of Missions, with Miss Evelyn Varick as president, books after the mission work of the parish, building poor boxes and contributing to the general mission work of the parish. The Dorcas Society, as its name im- mits books after the needs of the poor the parish and neighborhood. It ad- vents relief by furnishing garments, clothes, and an old clothes bureen is instained in which old clothes received impaired, cloaked and distributed. Miss Victoria Baker is the president. An auxiliary to the Parish Home. Miss Henrietta Ross at its head. For the old people in the house, building groceries and such other as the people may be short of. St. Agnes Club furnishes for the same facilities as is given the St. Christopher Club, and and work is practically the They divide with the boys the the gymnasium. Mrs. Daniels INTERIOR OF ST. PHILIP'S P. P. CHURCH has supervision of this club. A company of boy scouts, with an enrolment of forty, has made a splendid record. Last summer they camped out with a number of companies of white scouts and were given special mention. As a mark of distinction they were invited to drill at the 17th Regiment Armory on the occasion of the visit of Gen. Baden-Powell, of England, the originator of the boy scout idea, and commander-in-chief of the scouts of the world. Charles Green is the scout master. The parish home is located at 211 West 133d street. It is a separate corporation from St. Philip's but is controlled by a board of twenty-one from St. Philip's membership. It was established in 1872 and is intended to furnish a place for the old people of the parish and others who need lodging after their dining days. It is free to occupy the parish who are unable to live and is open to others who pay $150 as an entrance fee. All are provided for while living and buried after death in the home corporation. The home contains fourteen rooms and at present there are eight inmates. Mrs Maria Miller is matron. J. ALEX. MAC KENZIE DEAD Ward has been received from Kingston Jamaica, B.W. L. of the death of J. Mex MacKenzie, one of Jamaica's most prominent citizens, who died suddenly in Kingston December 30. The funeral was held January 1. Mr. MacKenzie, who resided at Port Antonio, was superintendent of the United Fruit Company for twenty-two years, and was in full charge of the concern's business. He was in the United States last fall, and while here complained of stomach trouble, and put himself under the care of a doctor. His case became more aggravated, however, upon his return home. Mr. MacKenzie was fifty-two years old. Two sons, two daughters and two others survive him. Civic Center for Nashville. Nashville, Tenn., January 14—Leading residents here are interested in a project to build a civic center for the race in the northwest section of the city, similar to the one that whites have in the West End. It is proposed that $100,000 be raised for this purpose and that the leading colored educational institutions be grouped also the purpose suggested center. Also the purpose includes the K. M. C.

Jan. 7—Announcement has been made that the trustees of Fisk University have been able to meet the conditions of John N. Rosenwald's offer of $2,500 a year for a part of the current expenses of Fisk University, which the Board of Trustees are finding increasingly hard to raise. The trustees have been making strenuous efforts for two years to raise a fund of $30,000 to pay off accumulated indebtedness, make necessary repairs on the plant and leave a balance for endowment. Nearly two-thirds of the amound has been raised, $60,000 being offered by the General Education Board $2,000 by J. Pierpont Morgan, with a number of other smaller pledges amounting to $11,000, all conditioned upon the raising of the total amount. FORT WAYNE, IND. Fort Wayne, Ind., Jan. 7-12.

New York City IS REAL NEGRO MUSIC TRUE NEGRO MUSIC I is interesting to observe what a marked difference of opinion quotes between the New York Evening Post and the Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch on the subject of what is true Negro music. I have before me copies of both papers, and note that one makes a strong appeal for the Negro writers of to-day, and asks the public to give them support in developing a type of music which is yet in its infancy. The other publication, while as equally fervid as a champion of Negro music, makes the request that such ante-bellum songs as 'Ole Dan Tucker' be perpetuated and put away in America's archives as the only Negro music bearing the genuine brand. The New York Evening Post assumes an optimistic role and looks toward the distant future to the coming into its own of Negro music. The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch does not live in the days to be, but is pessimistic and sighs for the days gone by, when the slaves sang and made merry at corn-husking festivals and hog-killings. The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch was prompted to write about Negro music after William H. Turpin, a reader, had submitted the words to "Ole Aunt Kate" and "Old Dan Tucker," which follow: Ole Aunt Kate At the gates of gate, At the demeal, Gins me de bus, Oat de bread, Gins me de crus' Ivy de meal, Gins me de skis, Ole Aunt Kate mee as stu. **Dan Tucker** went to town. **Dan Tucker** role a boghead of 'loosed wun'; **Dan Tucker** wuk, de hoghead bear; **Dan Tucker** went of in a thundergun. **Dan Tucker**, he got drunk. **Dan Tucker** in do fire, and kick up a chuck. A pot hot cot got in be shoe. Here boys, how de anubis few. In submitting the words Mr. Turpin said that "the chant cannot be re- produced with pencil or painter's brush. It has a moral song." In an editorial on Negro Music the Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch discusses the subject as follows: It is a far cry from the travails on Negro songs heard in modern minstrel songs or from "black ther" comedians to the real Negro clowns that still linger in Virginia. The first are tawdry and often vulgar imitations of an imaginary Negro voiced in dialect never heard outside of ragtime land. The true Negro melodies are sweet and simple, and often out of the soil. They have none of the smartness, sticky love-making or suggestiveness of the strokes "now" song. We are glad to print fragments of the real melodies, furnished by ex-Private W. H. Turpin in response to a query from "Tidewater" about the words and tunes of some balladia mentioned by Turpin. In the biography of the jury of old-time Virginia beginning and corn-hookup festivals. "Old Aunt Kate, who fry demeat, an' gimme de skin, Ole Aunt Kate, mene as sin," as an authentic character. The concern with the personal necessity of food is true to life. The childlike reproach for being "mene as sin" came from the heart of the race, and was not a cheap invention of a Broadway song-writer. The local color in "Ole Dan Tucker" could never be imagined. It had to be lived. The very figures of speech in such lines are: "Ole Dan Tucker went to town. To role a boghead of Tames down." Do l'amos wuit, do hoghehead bour. Old Dan Tucker went off in a thunderstorm." have a smack of truth about them that prove their sterling character. It is to be hoped that students of ballad literature and folklore may be moved to collect and preserve these relics of a vanished civilization. As Mr. Turpia points out, some of these apparently local productions are survivals in America of very old English ballads in Missouri, a society has been formed to gather and keep such survivals. It is directed by the University of Missouri and has done much to increase an interest in the warrior. He has called "Uncle Joe" and his nephews to love a love for such simple folk songs, but his specimens are from different sources from what exist in Vikdade. If these fragments, already only memorized, among the generations that heard them, are not recorded now they will be utterly best. It should be possible to get the words and even the tunes, although the latter are very difficult to reproduce in the ordinary musical notation. The songs of a people are ever interwoven with their way life and the history of the Old South will never be completely written unless this flavor is preserved. The New York Evening Post, in charging that the barrier of race has kept colored musicians, with but few exceptions, in the music hall, and in its effort to induce the public to give the Negro music of to-day serious consideration refers to the observations of Kurt Schindler on the compositions of Will Marion Cook, which follow in part: This revelation comes at once of the concert given under the auspices of the New York Musical Settlement for Colored People. There were a great many representative white musicians and the entire New York musical press present and there was an orchestra started to play the fascinating rhythms of Cook's "Bewing Along," followed by a storm of applause; there was no in that audience that did not feel that for once he had heard the "real thing," the true Southern Negro idiom, worked out with clever musicianship and penal verse into a truly artful composition. The pleasurable sorrision was equalled if not surpassed when the second part of the program became known as "Walt Whitman." DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS a melody well-nigh perfect in its idiomatic charm and in its close adaptation to the vocal inflections of the colored dialect. The musical form given to it (calling for six solo singers to rise from the middle of the orchestra and say their little vurs in turn with the full chorus responding) was as happy in its effect as it was natural and appropriate. This is music very close to nature indeed in its resource. Mr. Cook's work at its best means no less than finding the proper music cohesive to the Negro idiom, and thus winning a new territory to music. As widely as the New York Evening Post and the Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch differ as to the status of Negro music, the sincerity and high regard each has for this style of music cannot be doubted. Both papers mean Negro music well. Where they fail to coincide is as to whether Negro music has passed into oblivion or whether it is yet to create a stir in the musical world. I find myself taking sides with the New York Evening Post and Kurt Schindler, not because of sectional reasons, but on account of the bright view taken relative to the music's future and the facts set forth. The charge of the Times-Dispatch that the songs heard in colored theatrical companies to-day are but travesties on what it regards as true Negro music is putting it strongly as well as rather inaccurately. Had the allegation been made that some of the songs used nowadays were travesties the Times-Dispatch would have been more exact. True, many of the numbers used cannot be classed as Negro songs, although written by Negroes. But how about such compositions as "Swing Along" and "The Rain Song"? Perhaps the Times-Dispatch has never heard of these real Negro numbers. The Negroes of this country appreciate and have reverence for such songs as "Ole Dan Tucker" and "Ole Aunt Kate," and they, too, are collecting and preserving what are referred to as relics of a vanishing civilization. For instance, The Frogs are industriously at work gathering these folk songs, which are near and dear to the Negro and the whites of the Southland. However, it seems to me that the Times-Dispatch is somewhat narrow when it seeks to preserve "Ole Dan Tucker," "Ole Aunt Kate," etc., and declare that these nuttebellum numbers are the only true Negro melodies. Original Negro melodies, not only true Negro melodies, should be the characterization. The difference between "Ole Dan Tucker" and "Swing Along" is that one is a Negro composition in its crud state, while the other shows evidences of skill in thematic construction. One number was composed by a Negro who knew nothing of music, while the other was written by a member of the race who spent years in acquiring a musical education. "Ole Dan Tucker" would never make the musical press sit up and take notice as have "Swing Along" and other modern Negro melodies. Negro music is not dead—far from it—and it is yet to enjoy the patronage of the public. The intentions of the Times-Dispatch are of the best, but it with other Southern papers, has the fault of idealizing the Negro of slavery days as well as all things relative thereto. We who believe in race progress while thinking kindly and some of us affectionately of what has been, find greater inspiration, interest and hope in the things of to-day and to-morrow—things more material and which have a more conspicuous bearing on our well-being.

FRANKLIN THEATRE With four entertaining acts on the bill at the Franklin Theatre the first half of the week, the new house at Lenox avenue and 132d street played to full houses at each performance. Walter Wilkins opened the bill and was followed by the Towels, who went big. The male member of the team disbanded out some funny talk, and his ballad, which he has been singing for several years, won hearty applause. Peat and Hayes caught on well with the audience, in dialogue and song, and Miss Hayes returns to Harlem in some new and fetching costumes. Peat is improving in the comedy line. Although the Carter Trio was seen in Harlem only a short time ago, they received a warm reception and the work of the members of the act was well received. BIG ACTS FOR CRESCENT. The Crescent Theatre patrons have developed a taste for big acts, which was shown by the capacity houses during the engagement of J. Leubrie Hill's Dixielander Company a few weeks, ago, and the Reese Brothers Africanders last week. Manager Friob has therefore decided to put on other large acts, using from fifteen to twenty people. J. Leubrie Hill is now rehearsing a big act, which will open next week. On the bill the first half of this week were Robinson and Robinson, Harry Montgomery, Frizzo, sleight-of-hand artist, and Gulfport and Wallace. The last-named act was the hit of the bill. Gulfport is a promising comedian, and while Miss Wallace has no great singing voice, she knows how to put over a song effectively. Both are good dancers. MURT IN THEATRE ACCIDENT. The explosion of an oxygen tank at the opening of a colored moving picture theatre at Easton, Md., a few days ago resulted in several persons being badly bruised in the wild rush to get out of the building. The accident occurred at the opening performance of the theatre, and a good-sized crowd was in attendance. When the explosion took place the windows and doors of the theatre were eagerly sought by those who wanted to make their exit. Among those in attendance THEATRICAL JOTTINGS Carter and Bluford are at the Ameri can Theatre. Simms and Thompson are at the Beaon Theatre, Boston. The Kemps—Bobby and Mac—are at Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theatre. The Marshalls are at the Scala Theatre, Montreal, Can., with Rochester to follow. Crumbley and Glass are working over the Fox Circuit. This week, Nelson Theatre, Springfield, Mass. Brown and Hodges are at the Grogg Theatre, Bakersfield, Cal., with the Auditorium, San Bernardino, to follow. The Age received a cablegram Tuesday stating that Hart and Johnson opened Monday at Liverpool and were a big hit. Stone and Stone, Tom Delaney, the Dixie Three, Johnnie Woods and Little Henry are at the New Circle Theater, Philadelphia. Leona Marshall, formerly of the Red Moon Company, is appearing in the cabaret show at the Goldfield Hotel, Baltimore. Sam Davis is in the East and is doing a single turn in vaudeville. He is being booked by the United. Last half of week, Odeon Theater, Newark. At the Auditorium Theater, Philadelphia, the Whitman Sisters, Allen and Morton, Brook and Lee and Maude Baptiste are on the bill this week. Murphy and Frances are at the Richmond Theatre, North Adams, Mass. with the Howard Theatre, Boston, to follow. --- Hicks and Braxton's big Four Company is at the Arcade Theatre, Atlanta for two weeks. The company's next engagement will be the Globe Theatre Jacksonville, Fla. Princess Sotanki, snake charmer, and company are on the bill at Daly's Theatre, Baltimore. Willie Ownes, known as "The Tennessee Kid," spent the holidays at his home in St. Louis. --- Harrison Stewart and his Dixie Kid made merry at the Franklin Theatre all of last week, heading the bill. The feature of the act is its comedy. Arthur Ray, Viola Stewart and Daisy Brown are among the members of the act. --- The Boston Comedy Four were entertained by Mrs. C. Washington and Mrs. Ward last Thursday evening. The members of the quartet are Samuel Sears, Henry Smith, Todd Peterson and John Ward, who left for the Royal Palm Hotel, Miami, Fl., Sunday. N. H. Thomas, wife of William Thomas, a member of the Jolly Dixielander Company, died suddenly of double pneumonia last week. Out of respect for the deceased, Manager J Leubrie Hill cancelled a week's engagement. The remains were taken to Providence, R. I., home of deceased, for burial. The funeral was held Monday and the members of the Jolly Dixielanders sent a beautiful floral piece CHICAGO STAGE NEWS (BY SYLVESTER RUSSELL.) Bill Bailey's Jubilee is the name of a new colored conglomeration which opened at the Globe January 5 to a poor house. The company, which is under the management of Robert F. Walter, a white man, numbered thirty people, and the production consisted of a minstrel first part, a plantation singing and dancing scene and a one-act comedy. "South Before the War," an intrusion of a name, for the play was a hotel wine room scene, since the days of freedom. Elmer Rucker, a new comedian, whose work made good, and Walter Lancaster, a droll but good straight man, were the features of the comedy Rance Smith, Pearl Hunter and C. Arthur Foster were stars of the minstrels. Among the artists who recently made a hit at the Grand Theater were Lizzie Hart, who recently returned from Europe, and the Seven California Ponies, champion Texas Tommy whirlwind dancers. The Griffin sisters fared well at the Monogram, as did Emmitt Anthony, a clever droll comedian, who is a very good singer and dancer, and Horace George, the second Wilbur Sweatman on the clarinet. Will Thomas, an old-time minstrel, was given a benefit at the Monogram January 2. The affair, which was in the hands of Will Dorsey, was a grand success. Sidney Kirkpatrick, a baritone, who in voice and culture ranks next to Harry Burleigh, was the star feature of the bill. Charles A Warfield of the Glenn C. Leap Publishing house, New York, has arrived in Chicago to boom his new some Charles Gilliam, trap drummer at the Elite Cafe, 3000 State street, has a new full set of instruments. Frank Tate, formerly violinist at the Grand, is now playing in the new picture house. Fred Larence Bradford, the aviator and aeronaut, has arrived in the city to renew his contract with Sullivan and Considine. It is understood that he is to fly in a bird-boat through the South next summer. BIG CONCERT AT BARNEGIE HALL The announcement of another Carnegie Hall concert by colored artists for the benefit of the Music School Settlement for colored people will, we are sure, be received with great delight by the colored community of New York. This concert last May was one of the great musical successes of the season. The musical-critics of the New-Work papers received the wonderful playing of the Clef Club Orchestra, the compositions of Messrs. Europe, Tyers, Cook, Johnson and others, as foreshadowing a school of real American music, and there was a universal demand on all sides for a repetition of the concert. It was too late in the season then to arrange for another concert at that time. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that we are able to announce that on February 12, Lincoln's Birthday—a very appropriate day for such an event—all the good things of last year's concert, together with several new pieces, will be given. In addition to the Clef Club, which all of our readers know, a chorus of one hundred voices, recruited from some of the colored churches of New York and from the chorus of the Music School Settlement, under the training of Mr. Jackson, the choir leader of St. Mark's Church, will render genuine plantation songs, so dear to the heart of every colored person. Other features which are not yet ready for announcement will complete a program of wide and varied interest, and tickets should be secured early for this event, as a great many thousands were disappointed last year because they could not get seats at the last moment. They will be on sale at this office on and after January 20. Baseball Notes. Palm Beach, Fla. will soon vie with Havann, Cuba, as the scene of winter baseball activities. Last week several players who have been wintering in New York left for Palm Beach, and will play in the Hotel League. On the Palmclina team will be seen Earl, Wickware, Andrews, Ball, Thomas, Bragg, Pryor, M. Brown, Handy, "Home-run" Johnson and Petway, Buckner, Bradley and N. James will play on the Breakers. Athletic Achievements of Negro in 1912 To the Sporting Editor of the Age. No record of the events of interest to the Negro race for the year 1912 would be complete, without some reference being made to the noteworthy deeds he performed by the race world. A brief resume of the leading factors in the professional and collegiate circles would not be altogether out of place at this time. The first name that comes to my mind is that of Howard P. Drew of Springfield, Mass. This lad unquestionably did more to raise the standard of colored athletes than any other in active competition to-day. Drew is a member of the Springfield High School track team and has also been a member of the school thus having the benefit of scholastic as well as amateur training. Drew gained his first prominence in a dual meet between Springfield High and Powder Point School when he and Rice ran a dead heat in 94-5 seconds. This was discredited by many athletes but was the accepted time of three different time-keepers at that meet. Drew was then entered for the Eastern tryouts for the American Olympic team which was held in Chicago. Many of the country's best runners were pitted in this contest and those winning places were compelled to work their hardest. Drew was entered against Ralph Craig, the holder of the CRESCENT 36-38, West PINES John B.

Draw did not get "cold feet" as many another athlete has done when compelled to toe the line against Craig; but instead he went in and beat Craig at his own game. He ran the 100 metres in 10 4-5 seconds, thus equalling the American record for that distance. Of course he was picked as a member of the American Olympic Team and was taken to Stockholm. At the trial hene' he carried away his-heat each time but just before the final one of the most unfortunate accidents that could possibly happen occurred. While warming up Drew unconsciously pulled a tendon and as a result he was unable to compete in the most important event of his life. The plight of Drew at that time was indeed very sorrowful. After he had worked so faithfully and so hard to get enough money where he could get to New York City to take the steamer for England and then get injured after arriving at the games was more than the brave life low could bear. However, he stood it as best he could and returned to America an unsung hero. But he was resolved to redeem himself in the eyes of those who had selected him to represent America on this important occasion. Accordingly, he at once entered the National A. A. U. Championships that were held at Pittsburgh on September 21; he went in that contest and literally "ran away" from the rest of the field and won the 100-yard event fully a yard ahead of A. T. Meyer, the fleet-footed Irish-American representative. He also defeated Meyer last fall in Brooklyn on two occasions, giving Meyer a second chance to race. Draw his won many other minor events but these are his most noteworthy. His performances are always clean cut and above board. Another young man, among many others that I might mention, who has set the college world astir by his meritorious achievements during 1912, is Theodore Cable, of Indianapolis, Ind., now attending Harvard College. It will be remembered that Cable is the colored lad who was taken to England as a member of the Harvard-Yale track team to compete against the Oxford-Cambridge team in 1921. His performances that year were somewhat eratic, but he was a stubborn obnobber "pess" but his record for 1912 is indeed praeworthy. He is the Intercollegiate champion in the hammer throw, having won the title at the Intercollegiate Amateur Championships held in Philadelphia. May 30. Another young colored man who has made a name for himself is A. L. Jackson, of Harvard. He is a member of the varsity track team and is considered the equal of Cummins in the 220-yard hurdles. Taking all things into consideration we have no need to feel deeply dejected. We have the makings of real champions on the cinder path and can reasonably expect them to come to the front in the due course of events. J. WELLINGTON WILLARD. Newport. R. L.

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.

Spcial to Tux Saw Your Ace Artanta, Ga, Jan, 14—The question i often asked as to the extent the for- cner_ students and graduates of Tuskegee institute engage in actual farming op- erations. It should be stated that, the teachers of the institution itself keep constantly in mind the fact that the South is largely an agricultural country, and that at least eighty per cent. of the colored people depend upon iarming for their living. and, furthermore, the Negro race as a whole is far beter off when am celtivating the soil than in any other occupation. For these reasons no pains are spared to improve cach year the traming given in farming and related occupations so as to keep the student Gose to the soil and lead them to love farm life to the extent that a large proportion of them will take up work fmemmediately in the country. uc schoo! tas een she to prodece ing been to the ‘best crop-on its farm dmriag the past year in the history of the imstitn- Goa, This within itself has dose mock to deepen the interest of the sixteen Imendred stodents in farming. ‘As a further illustration of the re sak of this training, in Macon County atone, in Alabama, in which the Tus- kegee Institate is located, there are three graduates of the school, to say wothimg of hundreds of others cagaged im farming, who have more than a bun- dred farms or shat number of colored farmers under their supervision, This coc case, out of many that might be lewed to throughout Alsbama and And, too. it is safe to state that at eas: half of the men from Tuskegee Institute, who are classed as school, reachers, engage. to some extent, in farming while engaged in teaching their | pupils. Thirty of the graduates and former students of the institute are teaching agriczlure in various schools Some of these schools are located at Snow Hill, Ala.: Prentiss, Miss.; Falla- hagsee, Fla.; Lawrenceville, Va; Den- mick. S, G, and at the University of | Porto Rico, Porto Rico. % Eight of the graduates are working for the United States Department of Agrienttare as agricultural demonstra- sion agents in the States of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia. The Govern-! ment experts induce colored farmers to’ set aside small portions of their land and plant and cultivate it under their direction. These small plots serve as object lessons for the communities. Thos, where farmers raised from fre ‘0 fifteen bushels of corn per aore, they are Bow, because of this teaching! rais- ing from thirty to sixty busbels per we Where from 130 to 200 pounds of lint cotton were produced per acre, now from 250 to 600 bushels per acre. On «hat is called very poor land Tuskegee sradents raised oa the Institute farm last year 500 bushels of sweet potatoes per_acre. These demonstration agents do not confine themselves to teaching improved arming methods, bat, they also assist the col farmers it oy live stock, in having better aod :n improving their homes. In a com- munity where oae of these agents is at work a visit was made receatly to forty. gardens of farmers, by 2 compe tent committee The committee found im these gardens peas, cabbage, onsome, tomatoes, mustaad, pepper, lettuce aad carrots. ' Besides, the gardens were im zood condition. This resulted from the teaching of one graduate of Tuskegee iastitate. Congregational Church Acitivities, penta! to Tum Rew Yeux son Springfield, Mase.

The year has opened up well at the Manhattan branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. The reports read at the last meeting of the committee on management which will be published very soon, showed that the branch had passed through one of the best years in its history, notwithstanding the fact that money was very difficult to secure during the last three years. With every bill paid there was a balance of over two hundred dollars in the treasury at the beginning of the new year. The total receipts for the year were $5,621.74.

Davis has opened a first-class grocery store at 24 Broad street, New Rochelle, New York. Jackson, Miss., has the distinction of having all its letter carriers colored men. Muskogee once had the same fame. Negro churches are supporting 200 home missionaries, and 100 missionary stations, and contributing $50,000 annually for foreign mission work. Another undertaking firm has now set up for business in Jacksonville, Fla., under the name of J. E. Hawkins & Co. They advertise themselves as being well equipped for up-to-date service. Supplies & Arbuckle Company is the name of a new Negro Music Publishing Company in Boston, Mass. The firm is not only the only one of its kind in Boston but as far as is known is the only one of the sort in New England. A new skyscraper, a six-story Odd Fellows building, to cost $35,000, is the work of a Negro contractor, Mr. R. E. Sharrow, of Atlanta. This is only one of a great many buildings he has erected, among which is Sake Hall of Atlanta Baptist College, and the First Congregational Church, of Atlanta. Sam Powel of Paw Creek, N. C., sold in the Charlotte early in 1915 three of 13 bales of cotton for which he received $1.066. He disposed of 400 bundles of cotton used for $989. Eight bales sold at 18 cents a binder and five bales at 17 cents a pound. He averaged a bale to the acre. Mr. Powell is in every way an up-to-date farmer. He subseries for and reads several papers, both daily and farm journals. He raises each year his own food supplies and sells enough to pay his expenses. Danahel, Colo., is the scene of a Negro colony in the West. It is located west of the Missouri River and north of the Manas and Dixon Line, 70 miles northeast of Denver. Twenty-six colored families are settled on government land. Most of them have already been here long enough to own the soil they till. They have 6,000 acres under their control. In 1911 they had but two habitable houses. Now they have fourteen. In the same year there were but 200 acres fenced; now there are 3,000. In 1911 they had 150 acres broken and in cultivation, this year 500 acres are under cultivation. The land is especially adapted to the cultivation of beets. The settlement is crying for tradesmen. They are especially in need of blacksmiths, cobblers and saddle makers. Jesse Washington, a wholesale and retail grocer of Marlin, Tex., is an example of the up-to-date Negro business man. Mr. Washington was formerly a school teacher, but happening one day to read an article of Dr. Drorower T. Washington's advising the Negro to branch out, he quit the school room and embarked in business. He now operates a wholesale and retail grocery store at Marlin. He carries regularly a $10,000 stock. When he began business in Marlin, there was only one Negro business in the town and this was failing because the proprietor was unable to buy so as to successfully compete with the white businesses of the town. He has been able to buy goods in large enough quantities to successfully meet competition. He has also been able to sell to the colored businesses so that they can also meet competition. This has been helpful in building up colored businesses in Marlin. There are now thirteen prosperous Negro businesses in this small town. RELIGIOUS NOTICES.
