SCANDAL BREWS IN ATLANTIC CITY Four Female School Teachers Are Involved in Serious Charges Attempt to Oust Howard Day as Principal of Indiana Avenue School Sets Natives Talking Principal Day Tells Board Members Sept. Boyer Failed to Back Him Up in Disciplining Teachers. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., April 23. There is scandal in the neighborhood, growing out of the effort to discharge Howard Day as principal of the Indiana Avenue School, in which several female teachers are involved. A secret meeting of the Board of Education was held last Friday, which was to have been a session of the Committee on Teachers. But the other members of the Board learned that something unusual was going on and put in appearance. Dr Reynolds and Elwood S. Bartlett, two of the three members of the Committee on Teachers, tried to keep the whole thing secret, even to the extent of delaying the required notice to the other members of the Board. It was only when Rabbi Henry M. Fisher and Samuel Hastings rebelled against this that reporters were admitted, and an effort made to pledge them not to print anything about it. It is charged Superintendent of City Schools Charles B. Boyer is fearful that Delilah Day himself cannot get him (Boyer) into trouble. This is one reason why Boyer and Dr. Reynolds want Principal Day discharged. Eight months ago Supt. Boyer, it is declared, was caught ordering school principals to conceal from the members of the Board of Education any difficulties in their schools. Principal Day had been given one of these secret ring orders to keep still about the ugly charges in circulation about some of the women teachers in his school. Supt. Boyer personally gave him the order, and Principal Day had mentioned this subordination of the superintendent to President Kelley and a former member of the board, W. S. Patrick. Plan to Secure Day's Dismissal. When some weeks ago Principal Day was verbally notified by Supt. Boyer that he would be dsicharged from the principalship of Indiana Avenue school, Supt. Boyer was the agent of Dr. Reynolds and Bartlett, in the transaction, and the other members of the Board of Education say they learned of it first in the newspapers. They thought then that the dismissal of Day might be politics, and first learned better when a certain well-known citizen, over his signatures, wrote to President Kelley telling what the allegations are against the woman teachers in that school. Over the protest of Reynolds and Bartlett, President Kelley called an executive meeting of the whole board, which was held Tuesday, April 15, and there Kelley read the letter. It charged that one teacher in the school was formerly in the Red Light district in New York; that another was in serious trouble and was befriended by a well-known gambler, "Diamond Joe" Ford; that a third teacher lived in the same house with a dancing master for five years, and that a fourth teacher is friendly with a woman who is no fit companion, and who lives in her house. The members of the board were shocked by the startling revelations and were at a loss to understand what influence was brought to bear to keep the women in question on the list of city teachers. The activity of Supt. Boyer, Dr. Reynolds and Mr. Bartlett in the interest of the accused teachers also occasioned wonderment. The advisability of holding a hearing was opposed by Supt. Boyer, Dr. Reynolds and Mr. Bartlett, and an agreement was reached not to give the charges consideration. However, it is said that the Committee on Teachers tried to fool the other members of the board by holding a secret session. At Saturday's hearing five ministers were present and only one favored the dismissal of Principal Day. His opposition to Day said to be due to his desire to have a member of his church, who is also a teacher at the Indiana Avenue School appointed principal. In his defense Principal Day declared that he had not been properly instructed in the management of the teachers of the Indiana Ayneae School, and cited instances showing how Sunt. Bever had sided with teachers whom he had sought to discipline. The members of the Board of Edu- ation are determined to investigate all charges made and promise to give the finding publicity. WHAT AIRS ROUNDTREE? New Jersey Leader Charged With Writing Letter to Secretary Tumulty Lauding President Wilson to Skip for Attitude Relative to the Appointment of Negroes to Office. Special to THE NEW YORK AU. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23. Washingtonians and the Negroes of New Jersey are wondering what has happened to the Rev. I. W. L. Roundtree, presiding elder of the Trenton District A. M E Church, and regarded as one of New Jersey's leading Negroes. He is charged with writing a letter to Secretary Joseph P. Tumulty, in which he highly praised President Wilson for publicly declaring that he would not appoint Negroes to any office where race antagonism would be aroused. The Rev. Dr. Roundtree is looked upon by the white citizens in Trenton as a representative. He spends considerable time at the State House in Trenton and is consulted generally on legislation affecting the race. It is rumored that he favored the Marshall anti-marriage measure, which was fortunately killed in committee, due to the efforts of the Committee of One Hundred of Hudson County. The Rev. Dr. Roundtree's letter to Secretary Tumulty follows: April 15, 1913. Hon. Joseph P. Tumulty, Executive Department, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: I see by the newspaper dispatches that the President's policy in reference to the appointment of colored men to office that the President will not appoint colored men to any office where race antagonism will be aroused. I am exceedingly pleased with this policy because I believe it to be the right one to be pursued for the colored people. In the first place, it removes from them a false hope that their advancement lay in holding a certain class of offices which would arise race feelings and, in many instances, among Secession. It leaves the case of opportunity to center an honest and sympathetic way to help and to encourage the Negro to work out his own problem. Along this line, the President's policy is a new era and it will make many friends for him over the country and will enable him to adjust himself to a policy that will make for his benefit. I believe the more thoughtful the Negroes throughout the country agree with me in accepting the President's policy as being the proper course to be pursued for the Negro. It seems to me that what my race needs is an honest and fair policy promulgated in their interest. The President has my thanks and appreciation for his position so early in his administration; he reaffirm my very great conviction and faith in him that the Negroes have a friend in him. You're very truly. (Signed) I. W. L. ROUNDTREE. The Rev. Dr. Roundtree, although a Republican, is said to be an applicant for the Haitian post. SITUATION IN LIBERIA IS CRITICAL Frederick Starr Says Long Standing Boundary Question Remains Unsettled—Expensive and Complicated International Receivership. Discussing "The Needs of Liberia" in a recent issue of the Open Court, Frederick Starr says: The situation of Liberia is critical. Her long-troubling boundary questions with Great Britain and France are not permanently settled; they have been re-opened and both countries are pressing. We did well to come to her financial aid; but we did badly in needlessly inflicting upon her an expensive and complicated international receivership instead of an economical, simple and national one. Liberia's crying needs are: a. Training of her native frontier force to protect her boundaries and maintain order there; b. Development of existing trails, with their ultimate transformation into roads and railroad beds; c. Restoration and development of agriculture—now neglected; d. Education, especially along lines of manual and technical training. Liberia's greatest asset is her native population; only by imbubing it with the feeling of common interest and by securing its hearty co-operation can the government of Africa's only republic hope to maintain heart and pressur THE LATE E.T. REV. J. H. M. D. ERECTED FOR NEGRO CITIZENS New Building a Beautiful Structure Built Jointly by Negroes of Houston and Carnegie Library Association. Houston, Tex., April 23—Houston has the second Carnegie Library in the United States erected expressly for Negroes. It was dedicated recently with elaborate exercises before fully 1,000 persons. The library was built jointly by the Negroes of Houston and the Andrew Carnegie Library Association. The Negro citizens paid for the site on which the handsome two-story brick structure stands, and it was though them that it was built. The city government has passed an ordinance whereby $1,500 per year will be given to the upkeep of the library, which now contains more than 3,000 volumes, many of which are valuable reference works. These have been accumulated during the past four years in which this Negro library was conducted as a distinct branch of the Carnegie Library. The new building is distinctly a beautiful edifice. It was designed by W. Sidney Pittman, who is a son-in-law of Booker T. Washington. In the basement of the building is an auditorium with ample dressing rooms and with a large stage. It is intended that this shall be used as a common gathering place for lectures by educators and for amusement purposes. The library is on the second floor. It is comprised of a reading room, tastily decorated and finished, and several book rooms and cozy alcoves for those of a studious nature. The opening address at the dedication exercises was made by J. B. Bell who was master of ceremonies. He extended thanks to the St. James Lodge, No. 6, of the U. B. F., saying that it was partly due to them that the library was a reality and no longer a dream. He also expressed the appreciation of the Negro citizens of Houston for the interest taken by Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee Institute, who took an active part in persuading Andrew Carnegie to donate the funds that made the building possible. Expressions of appreciation were also accorded Mayor H. Baldwin Rice and the Commissioners. Mr. Bell was followed by F. O. Mr. Bell was followed by E. O. Smith, who gave a brief history of the movement to provide the Negro citizens with a library. Other speakers were P. W. Horn, superintendent of the Houston Public Schools; Miss, Julia Ideson, librarian of the white Carnegie library; L. C. Anderson, superintendent of the colored schools of Austin. George W. Moore, president of Tillotson College, Austin; R. M. Loving of the Sam Houston College, Austin, and W. Sidney Pitman. A telegram from Emmett J. Scott was read by Mr. Bell, which follows: J. H. Bell, Chairman Library Committee: I send you and the loyal workers who have co-operated to secure the branch Cyrgnieg Library for the Negro people of Houston my warmest and most cordial congratulations. I beg to express through you to those assembled on your dedication day the hope that the library may be made of the greatest possible service in the life of our people in that great and entertaining city. (Signed) EMMETT J. SCOTT. Many of the prominent white citizens were seated on the platform during the dedication exercises. WILSON'S NEGRO POLICY. WILSON'S NEGRO POLICY. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23.—The readers of The Age will bear in mind that when Hon. Wm. H. Lewis was asked to resign his position by the present administration within three days after it came into power, that word was sent out from the Attorney General's office to the effect that Mr. Lewis's place would be abolished. This, of course, was done with a view of letting the colored people down easily in making them feel that Mr. Lewis was not put out on account of his color. Now, however, the whole truth comes out. Mr. Samuel~J. Graham, a white man, of Pittsburgh, Pa. has been selected to fill Mr. Lewis place. Hence another job formerly filled by a colored man has been given by the Democrats to a white man. This is in recognition of the support furnished the present administration by colored people. SCORE FIRST VICTORY CHICAGO, Ill., April 22.—The Negroes of Illinois scored their first victory against "Jim Crowism" in the State last week when they succeeded in having the Campbell Bill killed in Senate Committee on Railroads. The Campbell Bill provided for the separation of races on railroad lines. The Negroes of Illinois made an aggressive fight against the passage of the Campbell Bill, and are as equally determined that all other unfriendly measures meet the same fate as the Campbell Bill. HEALTH RULES FOR WAITERS. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 23.—Commencing May 1, the Pennsylvania Railroad will put into effect rigid health rules in the dining car service and have notified all waiters, cooks, kitchen helpers and dishwashers, white and colored, that they will be obliged to undergo an examination every three months and that only one hundred per cent. report on the physical test will insure them of remaining in the service. MLATHENS,CONVERTED BY THE THOUSANDS Natives of Africa Are Anxious to Embrace the Christian Faith BISHOP I. B. SCOTT WRITES Reports Large Increase in Membership—Eighth Session of Liberia Annual Conference Interesting. In a letter to THE AGE, Bishop I. B. Scott of the M. E. Church, who is stationed in Africa, writes from Monrovia, Liberia, telling of the great progress being made among the natives and of the bright prospects of ultimately stamping out heathenism. Bishop Scott's letter follows: We have just closed the eighteenth session of the Liberia annual conference, a very interesting session indeed. Seeing that the Age takes an interest in one phase of church affairs I have decided to give you for your readers a brief statement of what is being accomplished on the lines of missionary endeavor in this part of Africa. The reports handed in by the preachers and other workers showed some advance along all lines. The membership, which was 3,301 when I first came here eight years ago, is now 8,728; the current increase has been during the last four years, for which time the membership has more than doubled, and schools have increased in numbers and life in the town. The day schools, which we are compelled to conduct both for the American Liberians and for the native Africans, have an enrollment of 2,009, about two-thirds of whom are the native African stock. Eight years ago the total enrollment was 3,084. In the Sunday schools the total enrollment was 2,447 eight years ago; now it is 2,602. Total benevolent collections made by the church $143; now it has reached $1,003. In the way the people have advanced in their giving to support the work and to build and improve their church and parsonage property. For this purpose they have given during the eight years more than $60,000. The result is that the church and parsonage property has increased from $98,200 to $165,454. Live Consistent Christian Lives. Meanwhile there have been thousands of conversions among the heathen natives and they are living consistent Christian lives and seeking by prayer a life no one who is a Christian should be them. I do. My to you unobstatingly that their consistency is such as to put many of the church people at home to shame. I confidently believe as I have already reported to my board, that if I could have an addition to the present appropriation of about 65,000 and thus do some bidding that is very much needed, open a few more native sta- $31,729.09 Collected in Nickels and Dimes for Missionary Work by A. M. E. Church-Bishop C. S. Smith Presides-Dr. J. W. Rankin Makes Report From the collection of nickels and dimes and even pennies from the people in all parts of the country the missionary department of the African Methodist Episcopal Church raised $31,729.09 for the furtherance of missionary work. This was the report made by Dr. I. W. Rankin to the Missionary Board, held in the assembly room in the Bible House Wednesday evening. The board is composed of the Revs. A. L. Murray, D.D., Jersey City; S. S. Morris, Richmond, Va.; G. S. Williams, Cincinnati; N. J. McCracken, Chicago; N. C. Buren, St. Louis; W. D. Johnson, Plains, Ga.; D. H. Johnson, Abbeville, S. C.; J.

Smith, Detroit, chairman, and J. W. Rankin, D.D., Waxahachie, Tex., secretary. The board opened with song and prayer service, and then with remarks by Bishop C. S. Smith, who referred to the work done in foreign fields by the African Methodist Church. "We are not only doing missionary work in Africa," said Bishop Smith, "but we include the West Indies islands, British Guiana and Haiti." "Among the visitors introduced were Bishop-H. Blanton Parks, Chicago; John Hurst, Baltimore; H. M. Turner, Atlanta; the revs. J. R. Ransom, Kansas City, Kans.; E. J. Howard, Waco, Tex.; C. E. Allen, Detroit; Chas. Stewart, Chicago, and Prof. A.

Moorfield Storey and Prominent White Lawyers Demand Repeal of Measure Introduced at Milwaukee Discriminating Against Negro. BOSTON, Mass., April 22.—Moorfield Storey's admirable circular of protest against the position taken by the American Bar Association on the question of membership for Negro lawyers is signed by a majority of the local council for Massachusetts. The men who heartily concur in Mr. Storey's proposed campaign for the repeal of the obnoxious resolution adopted at Milwaukee, last August, include William W. McClench, T. Hovey Gage, Lee M. Friedman, Charles R. Cummings, Richard W. Hale, Samuel J. Elder, Frederick P. Fish, Dana Malone, James M. Swift, George V. Levrett, Henry A. Wyman, George L. Roberts, William F. Wharton, Chas. E. Ware, Joseph H. Beale, Alonzo R. Weed, James Mott Hallowell, Hugh Baneroft, Frederick P. Cabot, Harvey H. Baker, David A. Ellis, Arthur D. Hill and Malcolm Donald. Mr. Storey closes his protest with advice worthy of sympathetic consideration by all the lawyers in the country who, being members, agree with him concerning the effort of the bar association to exclude Negroes. "Intending as I do," he says, "to labor while I can for the repeal of the resolution." He advises every member of the colored race, and every member of the association who shares my views to retain his membership and to continue the contest for equal rights." The Negro members will not resign, and a contest in their behalf will be vivorously made under Mr. Storey's leadership. Aged Churchman Delivers Eulogy Over Life-Long Friend and Was Greatly Affected.

The eulogy was delivered by Bishop Turner, who had been one of Bishop Derrick's life-long friends. The venerable prelate was affected so greatly by his emotions that it was a hard task for him to give expression to the thought that crowded his mind for utterance. Incidents concerning the word of Bishop Derrick in the early days of his ministry were recitiel and his accomplishments for the upbuilding of the Lord's Kingdom and the advancement of the church were brought out. Remarks were made by Dr. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Tyree and the Rev. C. E., Allen, D. D., each of whom spoke of perennial relations existing with Bishop Derrick, and generally of his influence in the development of Church and State. The choirs of Bethel A. M. E.

Washington Tells About "Articles of Faith" Formulated by Mormons—Church Extensively Engaged in Business. (BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.) I had opportunity while in Salt Lake City, Utah, to discuss the Mormon creed with the important officers of the Mormon Church. Bishop John M. Whitaker handed me as I was leaving St. Paul the following statement, which contains in comprehensive form the creed of the Mormon Church, as formulated in its "Articles of Faith." 1. We believe in God the Eternal Father, and in His Son Jesus Christ, in the Holy Ghost. 2. We believe that men will be punished for their sins, and not for man's transgressions. 3. We believe that, through the enactment of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and finances of the Gospel. 4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. 5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by Prophecy, and by the living on of hands, by those who are authority, to preach the gospel and minister the ordinances thereof. 6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive church, namely, apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, etc. 7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, ecclesiology, vision, healing, salvation of torque etc. 8. We believe the Bill is to be the end of God, as far as it is transceded correctly; we also believe the oak of Mormon to be the word of ed. 9. We believe all that God has realed, all that He does now reveal, all that we believe that He will yet reveal any great and important things periling to the Kingdom of God. 10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of Ten Tribes; that Zion will be built on this (the American) continent; at Christ will reign personally upon earth, and that the earth will be moved and receive his paradisiacal glory. 11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they do. 12. We believe in being subject to bays, presidents, rulers and magistrates, in obeying, honoring and surrendering to God. 13. We believe in being honest, true, noble, beholden, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may that we follow the admonition of all: "We believe all things, we hope all things," we have endured many dings, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or praise worthy we seek of God. JOSHIP SMITH Just to what extent this creed will appeal to our Methodist or Baptist brethren in the South I am not sure. While, as I have stated, I am not a Mormon and have no immediate intention of becoming one, I am free to say that there is a good deal in this creed that appeals to me. If everybody in the world can live up to it, I do not believe would make them much worse people, it I seriously question one's ability to I have promised these Mormons and hers to come into this country again I see more of them, and after I have one I may have more to say.

Since that has been prohibited by Federal law each man must to be obeying the law. This is usually not true in the case of individuals who had more than one wife before the law was passed, but the Morons are mighty interesting people they believe in having a good time, especially do they encourage their own people to have a good time.

C., April 23.—"I am a churchman and want no position that the Democracy may offer me. A $10,000 a year salary in an important Federal position does not appeal to me as does the work of the A. M. E. Zion Church. You may rest assured that under no circumstances will I accept the position as United States Minister to Siberia, from which Hon. Fred R. Moore recently resigned." The foregoing was a reply from Bishop Walters, head of the National Colored Democratic League, in response to a request as to his position in the matter of office-holding. "Bishop, they say that a white man may be appointed United States Minister to Haiti in view of the fact that American capital is building a railroad there," he was told by an Age representative. "While there has been some talk along this line," he said, "I will urge that some Negro Democrat he given the position. I have told some of the parties interested in Haiti that there are a number of colored men who could occupy the position with honor to themselves and credit to the United States Government. Minister Furniss has made a splendid record there. The colored Democrats have in their ranks superb timber for this post." Meneleks Give Dance East Orange, N. J. April 17.—Despite the most unfavorable weather conditions the assembly of the Meneleks, which was held last Friday evening in Commonwealth Hall, East Orange, proved to be the most pretentious as a successful social event ever held in Northern New Jersey, a tastefully decorated hall, inspiring music, an excellent collation, well groomed gentlemen and handsomely gowned ladies all combined to make this occasion one to be remembered by those present.

Loadstones on the dresser and forgot them. Trouble began as of old; my husband was freetful and finding fault with everything. I was all out of sorts myself and wondered what had happened to cause so much discord all at once. Finally I remembered the Loadstones and began to search for them. A few days later I found them tucked away in my machine drawer where one of the children had put them. Now everything, as far as I am concerned, is moving along nicely, but my husband, who laughed when the Loadstones first arrived, has changed his tune, and has sent you an order for a pair for himself.

HEATHENS CONVERTED BY THE THOUSANDS (Continued from page 1.) tions and strengthen the present working force by the addition of about six good men and women from home, we could in five or six years lead a very large part of both the Kroo and the Grebo tribe to Christ. The calls we have from the people to supply them with teachers and preachers are really heartending. I feel as do many of the workers that we neglect the spindle carefully now offer to malign these people from heathenism the Christian church will stand condemned before a just God to whom we have so long prayed for their awakening. O, if the church at home were only interested in the salvation of heathen Africa! The church has kept after the poor African to open his heart and accept the Christ and now since he signifies a willingness to do so not to send him workers is like shutting the door in his face. I would not have your readers impressed that I take to myself the credit for what is being accomplished, for I do not. True, I am doing the best I can in planning and directing the work and trying to finance it, but I gladly take off my hat to that noble band of workers who slick to my ear and hand and are always found in the thick of the fight. They suffer privations and make untold sacrifices for the cause but I never hear one of them mention either of those words. What they do is done willingly and gladly. In conclusion I shall ask the publication of the following set of resolutions adopted by the conference at its recent sessions: Whereas, The Liberia annual conference has held the past eight years and the brotherly and inspiring leadership and the palataking supervision of Bishop I. R. Scott, D. D., our resident blap; and Whereas, during that time our membership has increased from $3,301 to 8,728; the amount of our church and parsonage property from $95,200 to $165,454, for the building and improving of which our local membership has valued an ever-rising thousand both membership and property far inexcess in anything of the kind we have ever before accomplished in a similar space of time during the more than three-quarters of a century of our history; and Whereas, during this same period of time not only have the number of our day schools and Sunday schools been enlarged and the enrollment of pupils, more than ten or twelve of our younger people have been accepted several of them assisted to go to the states to secure higher literary and skilled industrial training; Wherefore, Resolved, that we, the members and workers of the Liberia Conference, assembled in the eightth session of the same, do hereby express our gratitude to God and our sincere pleasure for the fact that our bishop's life has been spared and his usual good health preserved to return to us again and begin this, the third quadrennium of his administration as resident bishop for this part of the continent of Africa; Resolved, That we congratulate him and the church at large on what has been accomplished in this, the oldest foreign mission field of the church, and wish for him increasing success and continued good health; Resolved, That as an evidence of one apprehension the adrienne made under the inspiration of his leadership, a committee of five is hereby authorized to present its views and means to the bishop to purchase the bishop's living love and prefer to him in the elements from this body. Resolved That such committee is in situ to report before the all- board and that it is instructed to carry into effect the provisions of these Resolutions GREENBERG'S Ladles' Hair Dressing Parlors MANUFACTURER OF HUMAN HAIR GOODS AFRO-AMERICAN HAIR GOODS A SPECIALTY All made of Wigs, Great Plumes and Sweeping in Stretch, and Made to Order.

O'Neal of Alabama, to get him to commute the sentence to life imprisonment of two white men who had murdered a Negro. Gov. O'Neal said to the delegation: "Gentlemen, when I assumed the governorship of Alabama the open season for killing Negroes closed. These men committed wilful murder. The fact that they murdered a Negro rather than a white man cuts no figure with me." We note by more recent press dispatches that the white men were hanged a few days ago. A few governors of Gov. O'Neal's type in the South would make the crime of murder and lynching Negroes a thing of the past. NEGRO DEMOCRATS SCORE AGAIN Dr Bubois and the other Negro Democrats have scored again. President Wilson has just removed from office Gen. Robert E. Smalls of Beafort, S. C., and of course Negro Democrats are rejoicing all over the country. They are not only rejoicing because Gen. Smalls has been removed, but because a white man has been appointed to succeed him. Victory No. 1 for the Negro Democrats was scored when Hon. W. H. Lewis was removed from the Assistant Attorney Generalship and no Negro appointed to succeed him. Gen. Smalls was a brave, patriotic citizen during the Civil War. He risked his life in defending the Union. He had held the office for nearly twenty years without interruption. Gen. Smalls had the high respect of both white and colored people in Beaulock. There was no objection to him except that his face was black. All this of course is in gratitude for the votes of the Negro in November. BISHOP DERRICK IN POLITICS. Ten Ace of last week chronicled the death of Bishop William Benjamin Derrick of New York, and gave the details of his long, active and useful life in war, in politics, in the ministry and in the office of a Bishop of a great church. The life story of such a man, who "goes out to sea" after seventy years of conflict "with the world, the flesh and the devil," must needs be "stranger than fiction" and as interesting and instructive as a chapter out of the "one hundred and one knights of the Arabian Knights." So it is. Bishop Derrick had the form, features and bluff manners of Napoleon Bonaparte, and like him, "made stepping stones of his dead self to rise to higher things," but unlike the great Corsican, who died a prisoner of the nations chained to a great rock in the Atlantic Ocean, the Antiguan soldier of the cross died a free man in his own Episcopal palace, at Flushing, in New York. Bishop Derrick was not only a successful churchman, but a successful politician. For a number of years before he was made a Bishop he took an active part in the Republican politics of New York State. As committees-at-large he labored in season and out of season to promote the jersey of man of his race who wanted to get into the public service or who were Specially and with great humility, the Hon. Thomas Collier Bishop and the united male leaders of the party. Soon after his elevation to the bench of Bishop Thomas Bishop sought an interview with the writer, who called at his office in the Bible House. This was not unusual, as we and Judge Thomas McCants Stewart had counselled together for years. The Bishop said the party leaders were insisting that he should continue to direct the Negro end of their machine and he wanted us to candidly advise him what to do about it. We told him plainly that the office of a Bishop was one of the highest on earth and that as a Bishop he could not take an active personal part in partisan politics without dragging the office of a Bishop into the fifth of practical politics. We left him and saw him at a distance four times after that. He did not do the political work required of him at that time, and took no more active part in politics thereafter, but confined himself to the high and good work of a Bishop of a great church, and made a record of successful work which will endure. He had his faults, because he was also flesh, but he also had. his virtues from the root of his inheritance in all that is divine in our frail human nature. He was a man among men, and in whatever situation he was he made men know it. We did not love him, but we respected him because he was a man and called no man master. The Negro people need more men like him than they have. THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH ROW There has been much ado in New York City's Harlem district for some time past because of the policy adopted by several priests of the Protestant Episcopal Church in hinting and otherwise intimating to the few black and colored people who have been attending their churches that it would be more satisfactory to the congregations if such black and colored people would transfer their membership to the Episcopal churches of their own in the same district. St. Philip's Church being one of them. It seems that when there were but few black and colored communicants in the Harlem district the white Episcopal churches received them, and little was thought or said about it. Of late years conditions have greatly changed; a very large number of our people have made the district their home, and St. Philip's Church, one of the wealthiest of its kind in the country, has moved into it from down town. St. Cyprian's and a mission are also within easy reach. The matter reached a head last week when Dr. Ashton of St. Luke's Church, ir 141st street and Convent avenue, ordered some Negro children from the Sunday school services. He had given their parents notice two months ago, it is said, to send the children to St. Philip's, "and the Negroes agreed reluctantly," says The Sun account. Dr. Ashton says that if Negroes insist upon attending his church he will receive them but seat them apart from the whites. It is said that the whole question will be referred to Bishop Greer for settlement as to the policy of the Episcopal Church in the diocese in the matter. The position of St. Luke's Church is decidedly unchristian, as is that of other churches of the Episcopal denomination. All the white churches in New York take the same position, except St. George's we believe; the Catholics by encouraging rather than demanding attendance of their people at St. Benedict's, which is also attended by large numbers of white Catholics. We say again, the policy of discriminating against black and colored Episcopalians, adopted by some of the New York rectors, that has brought the question to a head which those higher up will have to decide, is highly unchristian, and we emphatically do not accept it as being orthodox. No appeal is necessary, however, as far as the churches are concerned that have adopted the policy of segregation and notified their black and colored communicants of the fact. These latter have something to say about it. We believe they have too much self-respect to return to those churches even if the higher authorities should decide that it is their right and privilege to do so. If they had no churches of their own it would be their duty to themselves to get one, and if they could not do that to worship with the congregations of other denominations of their own people where they would be welcome. But they have Episcopal churches of their own, and of the best, so that if the white Episcopal congregations with which they have been worshipping, for however long a time, desire them to do so no longer, they can go to their own, while still standing up stoutly for the vindication of the right and privilege involved with the diocesan authorities. The Protestant churches everywhere are adopting the race separation policy, not only in the church but in everything else, and in proportion as they have done and are doing it the Divine Spirit of Christian Brotherhood has and will continue to grow cold toward them and calamities both great and small will continue to prove them in the chronic discontent of the masses, in hard times, of all sorts, in high prices and scarce THE RICHMOND MEETING. We doubt not that our readers have followed the work of the Southern Education Association which has been holding a three days' session in Richmond, Va., recently. We do not hesitate to say that there have been few meetings in the history of the South since the war that have meant so much to the Southern country as this Richmond meeting. It has been potential in direct influence on both the races in the South. The meeting was called by white people, and was attended by white people from all sections of the South. From the beginning to the end of the program those in charge of the meeting stuck to matters that were of vital interest to the immediate present and future of the South. In a word, this meeting show-1 that the white South is waking up as it has never been waked up before. Every Southern State was represented by its leading statesmen and educators. During the three days' session such vital subjects as "The University in Its Relation to Agricultural Development" were discussed. The program covered such subjects as "The Schoolhouse and the Garden," "The Teacher and the Corn Club," "The Woman and the Tomato Canning Club." It embraced such subjects as "The College and the Factory," "Schoolhouse Building and Local Taxation," "The School Teacher and Fruit Growing." Thees are only a few of the broad subjects discussed. We call attention to this vital matter because it all goes to show that the Negro in the South must wake up or he will be left behind in the race of life. If the Negro does not give added attention to, these vital subjects he will remain a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. It is true now, as it has always been in the history of the world, that the man who gets the soil, the man who gets the most out of the soil, the person who is at the top in these vital economic directions is going to rule; and the person who does not give attention to these vital subjects will remain behind. Now is the time when our teachers and our leading men of every character should direct the attention of the race to what the white South is doing. We have in the North must not be deceived either. We will remain the hewers of wood or the drawers of water unless in every city in the North we give more attention to our own needs. We are fond of spending too much time and money in discussing the woeful condition of our brethren in the South and neglecting to give attention to our immediate condition here in the North. Theer is a great lesson in this Richmond program for our race both North and South. Let us get at the bottom of our difficulty and bring about a remedy before it is too late. The best thought of the South a few years ago was given to politics, now the leading men and women of the South are giving their time and attention to education and economic development. There is a great lesson in all this, let us say again, for our race. "THE WORST ENEMY OF THE CHURCH." THE ACE has a right to resent the position in which it has been placed by Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary-Treasurer of the Sunday School Union of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in a circular letter, dated at Nashville, March 12, 1913, and addressed to the patrons of his Union, in which he says: "You possibly have wondered why no Easter programs were sent you from here. It was due to the fact that the Missionary Secretary took the work from us and gave it to one of the Church's worst enemies, Mr. Fred Moore of THE NEW YORK ACE. In view of the fact that our price was lower I cannot account for this "stab" at our Publishing Houses. Maybe Dr. Rankin expects THE ACE to elect him Bishop. It's very little encouragement to those who are trying to build up the Church." Mr. Bryant did not send a copy of his circular "stab" to Mr. Moore, or THE Ace; he just plunged the dagger into the back, as the assassin always does, and leaves the victim to find out "who did it," if he lives, or to forget it if he dies. We know of no reason why Mr. Ira T. Bryant should play the part of an assassin of character, and break the commandment against bearing "false witness" against Mr. Moore, who far from being "one of the worst enemies of the church" is one of the best friends of it. The honest critic is always a safer friend than the sneaking assassin, who skulks in the house and deceives the friend into believing all is as it should be when all is as it should not be. As a matter of record THE Ace has never advocated the elevation of any man to the position of a Bishop who was not qualified in every way to be a Bishop, nor has THE Ace ever condemned a Bishop who had not first condemned himself by his own words and "In view of the fact that our prize was lower, I cannot request for this 'stab' at our two Publishing House." To this we bag to my: Mr. Bryant did not have our manuscript in his hand at all and made no bid to observe thereon, but he simply wrote me a letter in January after I had arranged for the printing of my programs, stating, "I will get your programs out for six hundred dollars ($900.00)." He had not seen the manuscript to know how many pages or how much matter was contained in each page, but simply wrote that he would get them out. As to his not accounting for this "stab" to the two publishers, Dr. Lovely as General Business Manager at Philadelphia, did not regard my action as a "stab" to him to his department because he understood why he did not have the printing to do. He felt that he was "stabbed" because I was trying to do my duty—in fact, to do what the church elected me to do, not out the church elected me to do. I was elected Secretary of Mission by the last General Conference and not Secretary of the Sunday School Union. Hence, I was endeavoring to attend to the affairs of the church and to serve the office of the acolythe of the Sunday School Union. Again, Mr. Bryant says: "Maybe Dr. Rankin expects The Acm to elect him Bishop. But he never asked anybody to elect me Bishop and I have never told Prof. Bryant or anybody else that I desired to be Bishop and I am not satisfied with the work of elect me Bishop. I was elected Secretary of Missions by the last General Conference and I am satisfied because I asked for the help of God let alone by brother Bryant. Again, that I can do the work of the Missionary Department successfully with the help of God if let alone by brother Bryant. Again, that I can cause for any honor in my church and I have not naked them to do so nor to take any stock in my welfare whatever. I, am satisfied with what the church has given me and do not seek any other honor just now. I want it distinctly understood that the Missionary is a stepping stone to the Bishopric. I sought it because I felt in my heart that the church could use me in furthering church sees at to let me remain here. I shall be satisfied, all things being equal. Dr. Rankin states the case bluntly enough for Mr. Ira T. Bryant to understand it. As Dr. Rankin gives him plainly to understand that he was elected to do the work of the Missionary Secretary, and not the work of the secretary of the Sunday School Union, so The Ack gives Mr. Ira T. Bryant to understand that he can't run the printing department, nor any other department of The Ack and that of the Sunday School Union also. PRESIDENT WILSON'S RACE POLICY. We are not certain that President Wilson's race policy, as he has announced it, will satisfy the "large body of Negroes who claim to be Democrats of "good and regular standing" and who have backed up the claim by filing applications for appointments to positions in the Federal service. These patriots of all races are never satisfied with any policy that does not give them the full measure of their desires. It is a common weakness and recks not of merit or the higher claims of others. The policy does not satisfy us, of course, as no public policy can that does not square with exact justice to all the parties concerned. The announced policy of President Wilson is much the same as that announced by Col. Roosevelt, in Chicago, last summer, just before the organization of the Progressive party—he will not discriminate against Negro Democrats, but he will not appoint any of them to office where there are white Democrats who object. The principle that one Democrat is as good as another, all things being equal, is thus placed on a level for the Democrats by President Wilson where Col. Roosevelt placed it for the Progressives; that is to say, Negro Democrats are the equals of white Democrats when no white Democrats object to it. It used to be that way in the days of slavery; a Negro was considered "safe and reliable" by the police and the night patrolman when he went abroad if he had "a pass" to that effect, signed by a responsible white person. If he did not have "the pass" he had to take "the ten tashes on the bare back and face about." We did not think well of the slave master's policy and we do not think well of its adoption for black free partisans by Col. Roosevelt and President Wilson. The position of a slave in any situation is not the position of a free partisan in any situation. The Negro who can't get an appointment from President Wilson or the Chief of Bureau in his administration without white objection will hold no office in any of the Southern States, and few and small ones in the District of Columbia, in the foreign service and in the other States and its Insular Territories. No political party is acceptable to us that draws the color line on its partisans; no organization of any kind is. But we are free to do to the outside all that we can to help the Negro partisans of the Democratic and Progressive parties do what they can to break it down from within. Leading Republicans in Congress and the States, who desire a convention to reorganize the party, talk of adopting a race line policy like that of the Progressive and Democratic parties. When they have done it it will be time enough for us to say what we think about it. At its last meeting Floper Lodge L B. P. O. E. likes of the World elected the following officers: Edward T.

It is to meet a girl or boy who is not yet ready to learn about actions. The dummy port about it is that parents can always see these treats in their neighborhood children, but never in their own. These are permitted to dispute and gently inform their elderly, and demand what they should request them, to interrupt conversation and normally give their opinions on any and all subjects. In fact they are indulged to the utmost, and it is no wonder they are so lazy, with a distorted view of life, that is apparent to everybody but the parents. There is a law in the State of New York which makes it a mademoon for a parent to allow a child to grow into a good companion, or to wander about streets at night, etc. It would be a good thing if this law could be brought to the attention of every mother; err, to the attention of every might wake her up. Otherwise that not good luck instead of good management which prevents her children from falling into the dethieshes of the Children's Court, but if you told her so mollifiedly, she would be it. A crying shame the way our young folk are permitted to remain in the streets until all hours, idling away their time, the girls extravagantly dressing themselves, the girls cut waists, flashing, cheap jewelry, laying themselves liable to affront by men in the streets. Mother is no doubt home working her fingers off, but daughter is exempted from sharing her toil and dugged in her selfishness and laxity. Parents know the dangers and temptations which surround their children as the children can never know them, and it is their God-given duty to safeguard them, and that when they allow their girls to dress finishly and immodestly, and both boys and girls to run the streets at any and all hours, with Tom, Dick and Harry, and pick up any and all kinds of language and corrupt habits. nes; Miss Andrade Lindsey, Miss Beatrice Wade, Miss Grace Brown, Mrs. Eveline Osborn, Miss Minkle Brown, Miss Blanche Wade Wright, Mrs. Lee Strothems, Mrs. Wilber Rogers, Mrs. Johnne Mac Crabbe.

JEFFERSON WHITE DEAD Editor of Georgia Baptist Buried Monday—Descarned was 50 Years Old—Labored for Sixty Years in the Interest of His Race. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE AUGUSTA, GA, April 22—The Rev. William Jefferson White, D.D., was buried Monday afternoon, April 21, from the old mother church, Springfield Baptist Church, corner Twelfth and Keynolds streets. The church, April 17, 7:09 of clock, his family home, 1136 Ninth street, after only a few days' illness. He was born on Christmas Day, 1832, and was in his eighty-first year. For at least sixty years he has labored for the upift of the Negro, even in the days of slavery conducting by stealth a school where the slaves could learn to read and write. This school was taught at night from 1853 to 1865. In 1866 he was ordained a Baptist minister at Springfield Church, and a short while later founded, with a few others of Springfield's members, the Harmony Baptist Church, located in the southern section of the city, which church he pastored, except for a few years' interment, with his death. He was the founder of the Augusta Theological Institute, which was moved to Atlanta and became the Atlanta Baptist College. He was also closely associated with Miss Packard and Miss Giles in the founding of Spelman Seminary. On October 28, 1880, Dr. White began the publication of the Georgia Baptist, of which he became the editor, and this position he held continuously ever since. This paper is the second oldest Negro paper in the country and has never changed its editorial or business management, nor has it ever missed an issue—this notwithstanding the fact that the Georgia Baptist office was flooded one and burn out once. Dr. White was an agent for the Freeborn Baptist during the period of construction and laying of the deputy collector in the United States Revenue Service, which position he held for more than eleven years, resigning because of the demands upon his time by the newspaper business. Illness of Short Duration. He was actively engaged in his church and editorial work up to his last days, as on the Sunday preceding his death he baptized a number of converts at his church, Harmony, and in the issue of the Georgia Baptist appearing the day of his death were several articles from his pen. The exertion of the Sunday services in which he preached, baptized and administered the Lord's Supper proved too much for his strength and commitment to his bed on Monday. Although all his faithful care from his family and the utmost that medical skill could do was done to prolong his life, early Thursday evening he breathed his last. Surviving him are three sons and four daughters, Isaiah W. White, Augusta; Mrs. Chas, A. Shaw, Brunswick; Lucien H. White, New York City; Mrs. Isaiah Blocker, Augusta; W. J. White, Jr. Augusta; Miss Claudia T. White, Atlanta Baptist College, Atlanta, and Mrs. Robt. C. Williams, Augusta. There are six en d e r e a n and four great-grandchildren living. Besides one brother, the Rev. Willis Tate, of Atlanta, there are a number of relatives in other sections of the State and country.

A. of Hot Springs, composed of Southern men of this place, tried to stop the colored boys from practicing at the ball grounds in the afternoon, making it a rule that they use the grounds in the morning. This was impossible in view of the fact that the colored men are in the dining room until 11 o'clock and having to be back for lunch at 12:30. Capt. J. D. Ransford for the giants carried the matter before the manager and president of the H. S. Co. and were promptly given to understand that the grounds are the property of the company and they are there anyone else. They were told to practice three days in a week and have their games whenever there was no other game scheduled free of any charge.

THEATRICAL COMMENT MONDAY the Standard Theatre, located in South street, below Twelfth street, Philadelphia, opened under new management. This theatre has had a varied career, and has never been classed in the money making column, but if the large house at Monday evening's performance may be regarded as a criterion, the Standard will do a profitable business under the direction of Gibbeon L. Young. There are fifteen hundred seats in the Standard Theatre and every one was occupied Monday evening. Many of the prominent colored citizens of the Quaker City were present, and between the acts Manager Young was presented with floral pieces. On one occasion he made a speech, or rather a speechlet. While he is no Elihu Root or Joseph Choate, Mr. Young made a successful debut as a public speaker just the same. On the bill were the Sambo Girls, with Edgar. Connor; the Harrison Stewart Duo, Cook and Stevens, Freeman's Dog GIBEON L. YOUNG Circus, the Three Juggling Millers and Joe Dnning. Commencing Tuesday motion pictures were also included. The Standard Theatre is being operated by the Standard Amusement Company, composed of William Hubert Jackson, president; John William Smith, vice-president and secretary, and Gideon L. Young, treasurer and manager. Grand opera singers are taking to Southern dialect songs. Signor Amato, the leading baritone singer of the Metropolitan Opera Company, has become infatuated with a song written by J. Rosmond Johnson and James W. Johnson, entitled. "Since You Went Away." The Musical America has the following to say about the composition: "Good Southern dialect songs are still scarce these days and it is pleasant to note that an unusually fine one has recently been put forward by G. Ricorji & Co. It is "Since You Went Away," the music by J. Rosamond Johnson. Mr. Johnson's name is known to many, as he is to-day one of the ablest of American Negro musicians. The poem was written by his brother, James W. Johnson, ex-U. S. Consul to Nicaragua and recently appointed U. S. Consul to the Azores. "Unlike the usual Negro song it is not a love song, as the title would seem to indicate. It is a little poem, written by James W. Johnson shortly after the death of his father. J. Rosamond Johnson put his feelings in music to the tender little poem of his brother. There is an unspeakable charm about this song, a charm which is so insistent that it has won the favor of the noted Italian baritone of the Metropoliitan. Pasquale Amato, who says that he enjoys singing it. He has already sung it at a Sunday night concert at the Metropolitian and will sing it again with orchestra there this season. It has been encored as often as three times at a Bagby musicale and at a fashionable musicale at Colonel Mehan's when Mr. Amato had a thrilling success with it. Mr. Johnson is one of the few Negroes who has enjoyed a good musical training. His teachers were, William H. Dunham and Charles Dennec at the New England Conservatory in Boston and his work shows care in writing. The voice part is suavely refined and the syncopation in the accompaniment on the final page is a touch that adds to the general effect and also shows its composer's feeling for the fitting. "It is to be included in the repertoire of Olive Fredstad, Mary Garden, Marie Cavan, George Hamlin and John McCormack." UNDER NEW WHERE THE SHOWS ARE. DR.

The bill at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week pleased even the most fastidious patrons of the house The Lafayette Players were the headline attraction, appearing in a musical sketch entitled "A Trip to Jamatu." One of the scenes is laid in America and the other in "Jamatu," in foreign country, perhaps some famous theatrical play to wear some picturesque costumes in the last act. Mr. Shipp is paying marked attention to costuming. All of the musical numbers are credibly staged but in many instances there seems to be something lacking in the vocal efforts put forth by the soprano, has joined the company and was hertily applauded in her one number, but she should have more singing to do.

So does Frank De Lyons. Elizabeth Williams displayed ability as a comedienne. It would be a good idea for the orchestra to follow the performers instead of trying to make the performers follow the musicians. There are no flies on Sims and Thompson, two clever colored comedians who won the large audience Monday evening from the jump. They good up the skirt and reader their songs like professional Sims and Thompson belong to that progressive class of young comedians that will aid in raising the standard of the colored theatrical profession. "The Vision of 1906," an electrical panoramic turn, showing the destruction of San Francisco, was of absorbing interest. Ethel Golden pleased in her song revue, and the audience found much amusement in Goldberg's "Foolish Questions" pictures. The Seven Merry Youngsters presented a school act, one of the 'aethenth limitations since Gus Edwards put on his school skit several seasons ago. FRANKLIN THEATRE. The Texas Tommy Dancers, composed of the two Lillards and the two Pugas, were the strongest number on the bill at the Franklin Theatre the first half of the week. Manager Orrutcher has held over the act. The Texas Tommy Dancers continue to improve with age. There is a striking similarity b tween the comedy work of Pugas and that of Gulfport of Gulfport and Wakeau. Lillian Brown is still dating a single turn. She is in good voice and is showing better judgment in the selection of her members. U. Sumter Richards, the bass singer, and Hassanome and Vernum completed the vaudeville bill. The Ethiopian Four, two men and two women, and Lillian Bradford, were at the Franklin Theatre the second half of last week. The Ethiopian Four are good harmonizers. The song "If Peter Had Been a Colored Man" is now slow for the act. One of the female members should be given a song. Lillian Bradford has forsaken the abbreviated shirt and is wearing long dresses on the stage. She should do some dancing in her act. THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN THE WILLIAM H. HARRIS CAPT. GEORGE A. HAMMOND Capt. George A. Hammond, one of our old showmen, needs no introduction to the colored theatrical profession, having been connected with all the leading colored companies and a number of white shows. In every instance he made good. Mr. Hammond has a magnificent baritone voice and has always elegantly impressed as a singer whenever heard. He has traveled extensively, having accompanied the Williams & Walker Company on the memorable trip abroad, and was one of the number to appear before the late King Edward. Mr. Hammond also went to Europe with the John Orden Company of America company appearing in a theatrical turn, such as Hammond and Carter, which was a big hit. Mr. Hammond is now a very successful theatrical manager, and controls the Monarch Theatre, Edmonton, Alberta, Can., the Lynn Theater and the Canadian Phil. Ex. change. He is also interested in the real estate business and is regarded as a shrewd business man.

Several valuable building lots are also owned, and a bank account is said to be a healthy one. Mr. Hammond is the only man of color to hold the coveted prize of master's papers for the great lakes, and is a captain well known to many travelers on the St. Lawrence coast. He is a distinguished King Edward VI Saving Medal and the Canadian Human Society Diploma of Honor for life saving. Mr. Hammond married in England and is said to have one of the prettiest wives in Edmonton. Mr. and Mr. Hammond are very popular and are always pleased to meet and entertain at their attractive home all reputable colored acts that play Edmonton. Mr. Hammond says the race question is never heard of in Edmonton, and he often wishes that more progressive colored people would settle in the great Canadian Northwest and grow up with the country.

J. Martin's Pupils. An interesting musical event was the sixth annual recital and assembly of the violin pupils of David Irwin Martin, assisted by the combined orchestra of the Settlement Music School for Colored People, of which Mr. Martin is the director, with members of the New Amsterdam Musical Association, members of the Chef Club, and the children's chorus of one hundred voices from the Orphan Asylum at Riverdale-on-the-Hudson, which took place Friday evening, April 18, at Young's Gasino. The spacious auditorium was filled with an audience of music lovers who made use of this opportunity to not only enjoy an excellent musical program but also to extend help to the Colored Orphan Asylum at Riverdale, as the proceeds from this concert were devoted toward the equipment of a music department for that institution. The ambitious program was well rendered. The "Hungarian Romance," by Bendix, and "Brazil," by Will H. Dixon, were handled with precision and skill. Any criticism of this number must be confined to saying that the rhythmic swing of the second note was hardly pronounced accurately as the composer intended. The most unique feature of the program was probably the "Kinder (Toy) Symphony," in which a number of children limited the birds and animals of the forest with various toy instruments. The Settlement quartet, with David I. Martin, violin; Tracy Cooper, second violin; Theodore Gibson, viola, and Wesley Johnson, cello, rendered in finished style Mozart's "Adegio and Allegro." The broad sweep of harmony in the adagio movement was emphasized by a wealth of tone color, and the uprightly melody of the allegro was a vivid contrast. Mine. Daisy Tapley was the accompanist. At the conclusion of the program the floor was cleared and the New Amsterdam orchestra, under W. H. Wigkins, furnished music for the assembly. The following program was presented in the recital: PART I. a Violin b Gavotte c String Orchestra Hungarian Dance, No. 5. Frederick Pirdro Minuette (G Mozart), Bachoven, L.

Those who figured in this were Mrs. D. C. Norman, Misses Lottie Jaris, Elisse Benson, Louise Lattimer, Maude Turner, Alice Sousa, Carriebel Cole and Madeline Allison. "The American Professor," Miss Pauline Turner, and students, Misses Bess Pike, Vivienne A. Ward and B.
