PAPERS SEEK TO START RACE RIOT Atlanta Evening Publications Make Effort to Inflame Public "Yellow" Journals Charge Negro with Murder of White Girl, although There Is no Evidence of Guilt. Take Citizens Not To Be Served up by Sensational Reports—Atlanta Constitution Gives Advice. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE ATLANTA Ga., May 6—This poor old town has been on the verge of another race riot similar to that of 1906. During the whole of last week race prejudice ran riot, having been enforced to a white flame by the Atlanta Evening Journal and the Atlanta Evening Georgia, each trying to see if it can ondo the other in glaring and inflammatory headlines. The cause of all this exhibition of race prejudice was that a young white girl was found murdered in the basement of the National Pencil Factory early Sunday morning, April 27. The last man snatched up for this crime, of course, a Negro, the night watchman of the factory. This man has been most inhumally treated, "third degreed" and "sweated," but through it all has come unscathed. One of the statements that this man, Newt Lee, had lifted suspicion from his shoulders and that the officers would have to look elsewhere for the perpetrator of the crime. Despite this, the two evening papers, referred to, carried such flaming hadlines as "NEGRO GUILTY," etc., while in the body of the article the statement was simply made that someone thinks "the may be guilty!" The colored people have been very much wrought up over the efforts of the two evening papers to bring about another ANTI-NEGRO riot similar to the one of seven years ago. So successful were these evening papers in their efforts to create prejudice and arouse the worst elements of the city, that it became necessary for Mayor James G. Woodward to come out in a special interview in the Atlanta Constitution and protest against the efforts of these papers to make trouble. Mayor Says Extras Are Misdleading. Mayor Woodward's statement with reference to the headlines follow: "I don't want a disturbance on the street of Atlanta. The town has been stirred over the Phagan tragedy, and I fear that sensational and misleading extras may cause mischief. I have requested Chief Beavers to use great caution in giving out news." Mayor James G. Woodward made the above explanation of his visit to Chief James L. Beavers, at police headquarters shortly after 8:30 o'clock last night. The mayor said that he made a tour of the city and found the people in all sections in a highly nervous state. He charged that a "misdleading and sensational headline" in one of the night extras had caused many to be afraid of the detectives, had been nervous guilty. "I am not afraid of the people of Atlanta doing anything that will bring shame on the city," the mayor said, "but this affair has stirred up the people. The town is restless, and there is an element which can easily be inflamed. I am quite sure that the police will get the truth, and that the murders of Mary Phagan will be punished. What I want to guard against is rowdyism. I don't want anyone to suffer needlessly, and the papers can do a lot to keep down feeling." Mayor Woodward said that he urged Chief Beavers to caution his men to keep the crowds moving on the streets and quickly disperse gatherings where the Phangan tragedy is the topic of discussion. "I want to appeal to the people of Atlanta not to be intimidated by sensational reports," he concluded. The mayor's plea, not having the desired effect, it became necessary for Deputy Sheriff Miner to come out in an interview to the same general effect. He made the following plea for calm consideration of the Phangan case: Deputy Asks for Calm. While a crime of a most revolting nature has been committed in our midst, and our people are naturally excited and incensed over the deplorable affair, there are things that we need to consider coolly and carefully. Every possible effort is being put forth by the officers and the public generally to apprehend the guilty party or parties. Nothing is being left undone. no clue is being overlooked that would lead to a solution of the impassioned tracers. The New York Age. WELL-KNOWN DENTIST DIES Dr. James E.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. May 8.-Inhuman action of a revolting nature was administered to convicts at the Henderson lumber camp at Shreve by Warden W. J. Nunnery, according to testimony offered before the convict investigation by A. B. Lindsey, former guard at the prison. Forty-four convicts were whipped in one day, testified the witness, and there were three more slated for punishment, but the man doing the whipping became exhausted and could not complete his grim task. "I resigned before I would consent to become a witness to such cruel practices," said Lindsey. Convicts at this camp were compelled to work in the rain, and were not permitted to take off their clothing until they had returned to the camp, swore the former guard. The prisoners were kept on the run while working in the turpentine forests and were compelled to work long hours in order to make up for time lost. First Men-Man Prisoner. When a convict was whipped it required five men to hold the prisoner on the ground. Four of those would grasp the unfortunate by the ears and in this manner the squirming body of the prisoner would be lashed with a leather strap woven with a leather band, length, according to the witness. All the convicts at the camp were Negroes. W. A. Rucker, former mine foreman at Flat Top mine, was called to the stand and asked what were the duties of the "rock crew" at this shaft. He laughed as he replied it was hard to tell. Said this crew was ostensibly to keep rock off the track, but that in reality it mined coal. Eight men on an average composed this crew, according to the witness. He said the State coal not receive return from the coal mined by this crew. Stated that Will Floyd, a miner told him that he obtained the money made by this crew for coal mined, but said Floyd told him he had to "whack up" with Mine Foreman Russell. In the belief of the witness the coal mined by this crew amounted to from twenty-two to twenty-eight tons each day, which was paid for at the rate of 47 cents a ton. Russell had authority to create the "rock crew," but witness said such a crew was not necessary as far as the State, was concerned. Witness testified that Russell was in the emby of the State. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 6.—The white Baptists of the State of Kentucky have agreed to raise $20,000 to liquidate the balance of indebtedness on State University, which in the school of the colleged Baptists hosted here providing the home for the students. TO-NIGHT AT MANHATTAN CASINO Negroes Are Being Segregated in Various Government Offices Concerns of Opinion is President Will Seen Tell Ridiculous to Keep Quint and Mind Their Own Business. Special to THE NEW YORK ACA WASHINGTON, D. C. May 7.—Now that the Democrats are in power at Washington the radical element has begun to make itself obnoxious by snapping its fingers at the Constitution of the United States and doing everything possible to embarrass the Negro people—ten million natural born citizens who have shown the patience of Job and whose docility and forebearance have excited the admiration of thousands of friendly whites. But there is a saying that "A worm will turn," and the "turning of the worm" in this instance is not pleasant to contemplate. President Wilson and the conservative members of his party are having a difficult time of it keeping the radical politicians and newspapers from turning things topsy-turvy at Washington. These iconoclasts of the Constitution are as insistent that their un-American ideas be put into execution as were those who sought to uphold slavery and disrupt the Union. Just as wildeyed and inconsiderate are they so those of years ago, and many express the private opinion that kind words and common sense talk will not satisfy the unnatural cravings of these diseased minds. A violent crazy person is seldom pacified with sweet talk, and it is not likely that the radical Democrats with disordered minds will be put into subjection by a pat on the back. A blow is needed to put them in their right senses. The agitation for a segregation of races in the various departments at Washington has already borne frunt. In several division Negroes have been put to work by themselves, although the "social equality" bugaboo has been asleep for years and years and there have been no deaths or casualties on account of the two races working side by side. The Bureau of Printing and Engraving was one of the first divisions to adopt a "Jim Crow" policy. The colored Government employees do not care a whit about being separated from the whites, but they take exception to all the rot that flows from the mouths of these demagogues about the inferiority of races. It is their belief that the whites who are compelled to work for a living are so particular, they ought to quit work and off their incomes. Social insult to organizing and planning to resist any ill treatment must mistreat them. The Negro employees are talking. Of the hundreds of colored officials in Washington there is not an organization formed for their mutual protection—not two cents in a treasury. Successful hostility toward the Negro in the past has been partly due to his lack of organization. Members of the race get the blue ribbon for quarrelling among themselves, but when co-operation means a successful stand against any attempt to deprive them of their rights, they are seldom aroused to action—except to talk and pass resolutions. There is no telling how far these irresponsibles will go in the matter of humiliating Negroes if they are, not checked—and checked they can be if the proper steps are taken. The consensus of opinion among Negroes here is that President Wilson will not be a party to any of the anti-Negro movements which will tend to embarrass the race. During the administrations of McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft any movement to segregate Negroes in the various departments was stopped by the aggressive attitude of the prominent Negro Republican. Bishop Walters is expected to come to the front and remind those of their pre-election promises that there would be no Negro agitatin under the Wilson administration. CHICAGO. Ill., May 6—Maj. R. J. R. Jackson, who ran on the Republican ticket last November for State Senator to represent the Third Senatorial District, has been seated on a recount. He was counted out in November, and the recount shows that he received more votes than any of the other contestants. Maj. Jackson received 0.166 votes, William Cameron received 0.166 votes, William M. Ashon, and Henry M. Ashon, Democrat, who has been unseated, 9.602. The figures of the first count were: Ashton, 9.565; Ostrum, 9.498; Jackson, 9.059. The recount was instigated by Ostrum, and the election of Maj. Jackson came as a big surprise to many. THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1913. SPRAGGINS A CANDIDATE Two Thousand Negro Voters of Jersey City Are Being Prevaild Upon to Elected Member of Their Race as One of the First Commissioners to Be Released at Stem Local Election. Special to THE NEW YORK AMA JERSEY CITY, N. J. May 7.—On April 15 the voters of Jersey City, by their ballots, decided in favor of the commission, form of government, which places the control of the city government in the hands of five commissioners nominated and elected directly by the people. This was made possible by the legislative enactment known as the Walsh Act, and once the old charter form of government with its many vices and abuses. The Negro citizens were quick to see their opportunity and a delegation of representative citizens waited upon Counsel Traverse A. Spraggins, a prominent Negro lawyer, and urged him to take as their choice. Receiving his consent, a canvass was made and in one day the 177 names necessary to be signed to his application were received with enough addi- COUNSELOR TRAVERSE A. SPRAGGINS national to make the total 300. The pri- maries will be held Tuesday, May 13. A campaign committee has been formed, with headquarters at the Alpha Building, 19 Kearney avenue, Jersey City, and political meetings are being held at the various churches and leading halls. The two thousand Negro voters of Jersey City are being urged to awake to this opportunity and by their united support elect Mr. Spraggins to a place among the five commissioners who will run the affairs of this town. A systematic and organized effort is being made to arouse the Negro voters to the importance of being represented by a member of the race on this important board. Mr. Spraggins is amply qualified and enjoys the confidence of the legal fraternity without regard to race, and many of the prominent men of the other race have pledged him their support. He has been practising law in Jersey City for sixteen years and his sterling character and straightforward way of doing business has won for him the esteem and confidence of not only his clients, but the judges and associate attorneys as well. For years he has been the acknowledged leader in Hudson County of the Republican party and his influence in the councils of the party has made him a prominent figure in all the state gatherings. That his popularity, however, is confined to no race or party is attested by the fact that only recently President Wilson, at that time Governor of New Jersey, appointed Mr. Spraggins as the representative of New Jersey to the National Negro Educational Congress to be held at Denver, Col. Counselor Spraggin's campaign committee is composed as follows: Geo. T. Cannon, chairman; J. C. Gunnell, vice-chairman; Counselor Robert S. Hartgrove, secretary; John T. Everett, treasurer. EN TOUR IN VIROINIA. Special to THE WORLD Hampton Institute, Va., May 7.—Starting from Hampton Institute Tuesday morning, under the general direction of Maj. R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets, Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., began a four days' tour through "Tidewater Virginia." His itinerary includes the principal towns in Northampton, Accumac, Mathews, and Gloucester counties, the territory lying along the eastern shore of Virginia, where many Negroes are successfully engaged in farming and where there is said to be the richest soil in all the Old Dominion. The trip is being made by Dr. Washington with a view to arousing the Negroes of this productive section to greater industry. AUXILIARIES ARE A BIG FACTOR AT BLTHEL Influential in the Spiritual Uplift of New York Citizens Congregation Plans to Increase Missionary Work when It Moves to the Harlem District. Bethel A. M. E. Church, 233 West 25th Street, the Rev. B. W. Arnett, D.D. pastor, is a potent factor in the spiritual uplift of the Negroes of New York City. Perhaps the most powerful influence in the church is generated by its many active important auxiliary organizations. Bethel was organized in 1819, and was located first on Second Street. Later on it was moved to Sullivan Street, and remained there until eighteen years ago, when the present site on West 25th Street was secured. Various auxiliary societies have been formed from time to time as the need arose until at the present time there are eighteen of these arms, including the Sunday School and choir, which uphold the work of the mother church and which assist in spreading the influence for good. The Board trustees is probably the most important, as it has direct charge not only of the spiritual welfare of the church, but the material as well. There are nine trustees, divided in groups of three, one group being elected each year. They have charge of the parsonage, churchchief, heating, repairs, etc., and upon their faithfulness depends much of the success of the work of the church. The present board is constituted as follows: Terms expiring November. 1913—Chas. E. Holmes, A. B. Roberts, James L. Curtis; November. 1914—H. T. Sheppard, James C. Thomas, R. L. Radson; November. 1915—G. S. W. Baty. Francis Turner, E. L. Walker Board of Stewards Looka After Finances. The general finances of the church are looked after by the Board of Stewards. There are nine members on the board and they look after the presiding elder's salary, the pastor's salary, poor fund, claims of the general church, dollar money, Easter rally, education missSIONS, etc. The present board is composed of Bartley Taylor, senior steward; I. W. Wells, S. Wigfall, J. THL REV. B. W. ARNETT, D.D. H. Skinner, T. St. C Edwards, William Greenlee, Henry Holmes, Edward Ramsey, J. B. Pinkney. The stewardess board and junior stewardesses assist the stewards. They provide the communion elements, decorate the altar for all special services, and provide flowers for the pulpit. The stewardess board membership is Mrs. Ida Johnson, president; Mrs. Elia Thomas, Mrs. Maria Ladson, Mrs. Sadie Battles, Mrs. Bessie Roberts, Mrs. Annie Lloyd, Mrs. Mary A. Broadus, Mrs. Lavina Minor, secretary; Mrs. A. P. Harris, Mrs. Mary Furbler. The junior stewardesses are Mrs. Florence Glenn, Mrs. Rosa Smith, Mrs. Augusta Harris, Mrs. Amelia Wilson, Mrs. Katie Taylor, Mrs. Minnie Anderson, Mrs. Cherry Bunce, Miss Isahella Logan, Dora Griffen. The Pastor's Aid is organized to assist the stewards and they look after raising money to pay for telephones, gas, etc. It is composed of men and women, with Mrs. J. H. Hart as president, and Mrs. Della Martin, secretary. They have no dues but give entertainments and receive donations. They raised $44.50 during the past ten months. The Bethel Beneficial League, a beneficial organization open to friends as well as members, was organized December 1, 1912. It has a membership at present of 41, and has on deposit $202.25. Its purpose is to care for the sick and bury the dead. The fee for joining is $1, and dues are 25 cents paying USED BODIES AS SANDBAGS Negro Farmers Hold Back Water in Poydras Levee, Near New Orleans, Pulaski Overflow - Turbulent Waters Would Have Caused Serious Damage. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK New Orleans, La. May 6.—A dozen Negro farmers used their bodies in the absence of sandbags to stop a crevasse in the Poydras Levee last Thursday, holding back the water until sandbags could be procured, thus preventing another disaster from the turbulent waters of the Mississippi in that section thirteen miles south of New Orleans. The alarm was given after 5 o'clock in the morning and when the men reached the scene water about two inches deep was piering over the embankment. This levee protects a large area of Plaguemine and St. Bernard Parishes and its breaking would have entailed heavy damages to all the plantations in that region. Two thousand empty sandbags were brought up but the flow of water had to be stopped immediately or the damage would be done. Two long twelve-inch boards were put along the top of the broken levee, and though it was possible that their lives might be sacrificed with the next slide of the levee, a dozen of the courageous Negroes threw themselves into the gap and held these boards in place until the bags could be filled and put in place behind the boards. Other bags were hurriedly dropped in and soon there were hundreds of other Negroes and white men filling sacks and carrying them to the gap. It was but a few seconds after the brave Negroes had gotten out of the gap before, without warning, the stretch of the levee crown where they had lain was swept away to a depth of twenty-eight feet. But their heroic action had given time to lay a second row of bags and this held the water back. Within an hour two thousand of the dirt-filled sacks were in place and the caving was temporarily checked, saving the levee. REGIMENT BILL AWAITS SULZER'S SIGNATURE Kane Bill Providing for Colored Regiment Passes Both Branches of Legislature—Bill Submitted to Gaynor for Inspection—Armory Available without Expense. The bill introduced in the State legislature by Assemblyman Thomas Kane of Manhattan, providing for the creation of a regiment of infantry composed of Negroes as an integral part of New York National Guard, was passed by legislature Friday, May 2. The bill has been submitted to Mayor Gaynor for his inspection and it is expected that it will shortly be signed by Gov. Sulzer. The act will take effect immediately. The Equity Congress of New York City has worked long and faithfully to bring about this action. The provisional regiment of 832 Negroes was organized more than a year ago and the roster is already on file in the Adjunct General's office. The bill requires the Armory Board of the City of New York to provide suitable quarters for the regiment, and Controller Prendergast is quoted as saying that this will entail no additional expense upon the city as the former armory of the 22d Regiment, 68th street and Columbus avenue, is immediately available. Senator Simpson, who was recently seated in the place of Senator Salant, made a strong and forceful fight for the bill, arguing that the Negro was practically barred from the National Guard because of race prejudice and citing the valor of the Negro troops during the Civil and Spanish-American wars as a good reason for organizing this regiment. Mr. Chin, W. Fillmore, 267 West 133d street has been a strong factor in the light for the Negro Regiment, and during several years has given his energies to promoting the measure. It was largely due to his work that the roster of the provisional regiment was made up. He is a likely candidate for the colonelley, having been a battalion commander in an Ohio regiment during the Spanish-American war, seeing service at Santiago. It is reported that white officers of the National Guard will bring pressure to bear upon the Governor to prevent him from signing the bill, alleging that its enactment will cause friction between white and Negro officers, the supporters the act say, however, that the friction will, however, materialize, because the organization will be primarily a fighting machine and not a social organization I PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO COLORED PEOPLE Reliable and experienced lawyer.

PRICE FIVE CENTS MOVE TO STAMP OUT RADICALISM Southern Sociological Congress Holds Session at Atlanta, Ga. TAKE UP NEWER ISSUES Members Interestingly Discuss Problems Which Are of Vital Concern to All Residents of South. One of the Aims of the Congress is to Solve Race Problem in a Spirit of Help- fulness to Negro. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Special to The New York Ath. ATLANTA, Ga., May 6.—The Southern Sociological Congress, held in Atlanta last week, represented one of the most significant movements in the New South to reclaim itself from the domination of the demagogues who have given it such an unsavory reputation in other parts of the country. It is a movement which has behind it the best brain of this section and has enlisted the sympathies and the money of those forces which apparently have decided that the Vardamans, Tillmans and Bleases shall be subordinated to those newer issues which have come to the front as a result of the industrial progress of this section. The Southern Sociological Congress stands: For the abolition of convict lease and contract systems, and for the adoption of modern principles of prison reform For the extension and improvement of juvenile courts and juvenile reformatories. For the proper care and treatment of defectives, the blind, the deaf, the insane, the epileptic and the feeble-minded. For the recognition of the relation of alcoholism to disease, to crime, to pauperism and to vice, and for the adoption of appropriate preventive measures. For the adoption of uniform laws of the highest standards concerning marriage and divorce. For the adoption of the uniform law on vital statistics. For the abolition of child labor by the enactment of the uniform child labor law. For the enactment of school attendance laws, that the reproach of the greatest degree of illiteracy may be removed from our section. For the suppression of prostitution. For the solving of the race question in a spirit of helpfulness to the Negro and of equal justice to both races. For the closest co-operation between the church and all social agencies for the securing of these results. Gov. Brown of Georgia Welcomes Delegates. The Congress began April 25 at 7:30 in Wesley Memorial M. E. Church and closed April 29. During that time as a time a series of addresses as have ever been delivered in the South were delivered in the general meetings held in Wesley Memorial M. E. Church, in the New Atlanta Auditorium, and at the Broughton Baptist Tabernacle, and at various other points where sectional meetings were arranged for. Addresses of welcome were made by Gov. Joseph M. Brown of Georgia and by Mayor Woodard. These were responded to by Chancellor James H. Kirkland, of, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn. It was so arranged that the various conferences were handled in this wise: General Congress sessions in Wesley Memorial Church and the Atlanta Auditorium, and the sectional meetings in various places. These sectional conferences were as follows: Conference on Public Health, Conference on Courts and Prisons, Conference on Child Welfare, Conference on Organized Charities, Conference on Race Problems, and Conference on the Church and Social Service. Each of these sectional conferences had its own particular chairman and secretary. Probably the most interesting conference of the whole number was that conducted by Dr. J. H. Dillard, chairman of the Conference on Racer Problems, at the Baptist Tabernacle. Probably the finest addresses of the whole season were those delivered before the Conference on Racer Problems Some of the subjects which were discussed were as follows: The Work of the Southern Commission on the Race Problem—Prof. C. H Brough. University of Arkansas. The Economic Status of the Negro-Prof. W. M. Hunley. University of Virginia. The Negro Working Out His Own Salvation—Prof. E. C. Branson. Athen-Ga. Rural Education and Social Efficiency—Prof. Jackson Davis. Richmond, Vt. Industrial Education for Negro-Miss. George Bigham House, St. Helena The Efficiency Test in Negro Progress—Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Federal Bureau of Education, Washington, Dr. C. The Religious Condition of the Negro—Dr. W. E. Bowen, Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. Open Church Work for Negroes—Rev. John Little, Louisville, Ky. The White Man's Debt to the Negro—Mrs. J. D. Hammond, Augusta, Ga. Racial Self-Respect and Racial Antagonism—Dr. C. V. Roman, Nashville, Tennessee. The Jeanes and the Slater Boards am. What They Are Accomplishing—Dr. J. H. Dillard, New Orleans, La. The Social and Hygienic Conditions of the Negro and Needed Reforms—Prof. Josiah Morse, University of South Carolina. Desirable Civic Reforms in the Treatment of the Negro—Prof. W. O. Scroggs, University of Louisiana. The Prevalence of Contagious and Infectious Diseases Among Negroes and the Necessity of Preventive Measures—Dean George W. Hubbard, Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tennessee. How to Enlist Southern Forces for improvement of Conditions Among Negroes—Dr. W. D. Weatherford, secretary of the International Committees of the Y. M. C. A., Nashville, Tenn. Both Races Represented. It would be difficult, indeed, to adequately speak of the significance of such addresses as that made by Mrs. Hammond, Prof. Morse, Prof. Scroggs, Dr. Weatherford, Prof. Branson and others of that particular type, who did not for one moment evade the issues presented by the problems of the two races working out their destiny side by side here in the South. Such papers as these deserve to be separately printed and distributed by the thousands throughout the country; they certainly would arouse the better sentiment of the South if they could be got into the hands of the people who count. The particular criticism of the Congress is that the meetings of the Conference on Racial Problems were attended only by groups of colored people by well wishers of the Negro. None of these striking papers were quoted in the daily newspapers so as to give any dea as to their contents, aside from the address by Dr. S.C. Mitchell, chancellor of the University of South Carolina, entitled "The South's Challenge for a Better Nation," and the address by Bishop W. P. Thirkield, entitled "A Cathedral of Co-operation." No subject affecting the Negro was, discussed in the general meetings attended by large numbers of Atlanta white people. It is to the credit of the officers of the Congress that they have recognized the fact that the racial problem cannot be settled in the South by white men alone, and so Negro leaders from every section of the country were invited and were present at the various meetings. Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn. pokes most convincingly on the subject, Racial Self-Respect and Racial Antagonism. Prof. J. B. Watson, of Atlanta, Ga., followed Prof. Scroggs, of the University of Louisiana, in the discussion of the subject, "Desirable Civic reforms in the Treatment of the Negro." Preminent Negroes Present. The following leaders among the Neo people, and many others, representing various organizations of one kind d another, were present: Prof. L. B. Moore, of Howard University, Washington, D. C. W. T. B. Williams and Dr. Thomas sse Jones, both of Hampton Institute, ampton, Va. President Walter S. Buchanan of A. M. College, Normal, Ala. Miss Charlotte R. Thorn, Miss Halloell and Prof. C. H.

Brinson, superintendent Bible instruction. A splendid program was rendered by the students, with orations by members of the adjusting class. Lorida Medical Association Meets. Special to The New York Ack. Key West, Fl., May 6.—The State society of Colored Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists met here Tuesday of last week. The opening session is a public meeting at Samaritan all, presided over by W. S. Kuck, the secretary of the city Hwy. Fogarty, in a pleasing speech, assisted a cordial welcome to the deleter. Dr. H. A. Anderson, Jacksonville, Fl., president of the association, a felicitous response. The association was the guest of Mayor Fogarty at Mercedes Hospital, where they inspected the various cases for treatment as well as the facilities used by the institution. The allusion tended a reception that accompanied the ball. Beau- ti- Our $1.00 BOOK The LOADSTONE Mother of MAGNETISM FREE READ THE WORDS OF OTHERS I cannot begin to tell you all the benefits I have received since the arrival of the two specimens of Loadstones you seat me. For many years I was convinced that no person lived who was more unfortunate than myself. Loss in business; death of loved ones and other troubles too numerous to mention, were driving me to a state of frenzy. A friend told me to write you for information according the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort, I did so, and later purchased two of them.

Above all things, and especially at this time it is absolutely necessary for us to keep perfectly cool, to work carefully and quietly, running down every possible clew with caution. "I respectfully ask that the public be patient, refraining from criticism of the unceasing efforts on the part of the officers or private individuals who are working so generously and faithfully on the case. And I would as respectfully ask that the daily papers refrain from printing anything calculated to unduly inflame the public mind; and from using such headlines as are calculated to arouse undue indignation. And you may rest assured if faithful and persevering work counts for anything, justice will be done. I have known, during my several years of experience as an officer and in criminal cases, undue haste in matters of this kind, brought on by excitement and enthusiasm to produce a miscarriage of justice. But I have never known a cool and systematic investigation of a tragedy, backed up by an earnest public sentiment demanding the apprehension of the real perpetrator of a crime like this, to fail of attaining the desired end." Constitution Advise "Keep An Open Mind." The Atlanta Constitution, under the caption "Keep an Open Mind," editorially demanded that the situation called for calmness rather than for rowdyism and undue heat. The Constitution editorial follows: "Notwithstanding all that has happened since the finding of the murdered body of Mary Phagan, nothing has yet developed that in any way fixes the crime on any individual. "Several arrests have been made and in the excitement incident to the affair suspicion has been directed from one person to another as the kaleidoscope has turned on the investigation. "All of which goes to show that the public is often constrained to reach hasty and frequently unwarranted conclusions. It is certain that all of the parties against whom suspicion has, in one way or another, been directed cannot be guilty; under the evidence yet developed none of them can be said to be guilty of the atticous crime. "Sooner or later the "murder will out," but the verdict must come in an orderly and a legal way, and until something more definite develops than has yet been ascertained, it is the duty of the ppublic to keep an open mind. "Nothing can be more unjust or more repugnant to the popular sense of justice than to convict even by hearsay an innocent man." The Constitution, therefore, takes this occasion to call upon the public: to suspend judgment and not to encroach to convict, carry out, or any one Frank Temey. Babylon, N. Y. Loadstones on the dresser and forgot them. Trouble began as of old; my husband was frettful 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.

A. that the public's sense of justice should throw around any man who, by law, is presumed to be innocent until he is proven to be guilty. "We say this without reference to any individual, but injustice to all who are even indirectly under suspicion." As a matter of fact, the evidence in the case has seemed to point to the superintendent of the Pencil Factory, a man named Leo Frank, and he has been taken into custody. No one can read this article without appreciating the fact that racial relations in this great city are always at a point where they can be strained or broken by newspapers which lend themselves to the effort of stirring up race prejudice; by exciting racial animosities, and by creating hostile sentiment against one-third and more of the city's population. The Atlanta racial situation is typical, it is feared, of the racial situation in nearly every city in the South. Negro Schools Contribute to Monu-ment Special to THE NEW YORK AOK Greenshore, N. C. May 5.—The late Chas. B. Aycock, Governor of North Carolina 1900-1904, because of his great interest in the education of the masses, white and black, was called the "Educational Governor." He died suddenly in the Orpheum Theatre, Birmingham, Ala., about a year ago, while delivering an address to the white teachers of Alabama. Shortly after his death the Aycock Memorial Association was formed to secure funds to erect a monument to his memory. The school children of the State, of all races, were asked to contribute toward this fund. Through their county superintendents the school children have reported sums in various amounts towards the Aycock Monument Fund. The children of the Negro public schools of Cumberland County, aided by the Negro school committeeman, the Woman's Working Clubs, the students and teachers of the State Colored Normal School, and representative citizens of the race in the county, raised and forwarded to J. Y. Joyner, superintendent public instruction, for the fund the amount of $218.91. The following letter from Superintendent Joyner, showing that this is the largest contribution to the fund by the public schools, white or black, of any county in the State, has been received by the committee: M. Haleigh, N. C. April 22d, 1913. Messrs. J. Smith, T. C. County Teachers' Association and Women's Working Clubs, and E. E. Smith, Principal State Colored Norbal School Committee. Dear Siria:- In the name of all the friends of the late Governor Charles B. Agrock, and all of the citizens of this State that appreciate generosity and patriotically desire to encourage and promote friendly ties between the races, I beg to thank you and the teachers of Cumberland County, and colored children of Cumberland County, and all others aiding for the generous contribution of $218.91 to the Aycock Monument Fund. So far as I am informed this is the largest contribution to this fund from the teachers and school children, white or colored, of any county. Not the spirit that prompted the giving of your consecrates them and makes your deed noteworthy and beautiful. As a small token of my own appreciation I am sending to your county superintendent of public instruction copies of the Ayork card contains an artistic cut of the Governor Ayrock and his immortal declaration that it is in universal eduction, with the request to the school these to every colored school in the county. May the story of your generosity and patriotism stimulate others of both races everywhere to emulate your example and to cultivate a spirit of civic pride in a common heritage of greatness and of common heritage both races as citizens of a common State for the advancement of the common interest.

A mass meeting of whites was held Thursday, May 1, at the Old Masonic Temple, Washington, D. C., under the auspices of the National Democratic Fair Play Association. "Race Segregation in Government Employ" was the principal topic discussed. In the resolutions adopted we note the following: WHEREAS, we find that Negroes are holding Federal positions in Washington and elsewhere in the United States in the same departments with white men and white women, and in a great many instances exercising supervision and control over white men and white women in said departments, and WHEREAS, we believe that said conditions are mutually disagreeable and injurious to both the white and Negro races, and is destructive to the moral welfare and amicable relationship, so much desired by both races. RESOLVED, that it is the sentiment and the conviction of this organization that a Democratic Congress should by law segregate the races in the public service, conserving to the Negro race its fair share of government employment, based upon the race's numerical or voting strength, as in the sound discretion of Congress shall be just and fair to the Negro. RESOLVED Further, that it is our sincere belief that the consummation of the purposes of this organization will aid and assist our National Democratic Administration, and that the realization of the processes and principles hereof are vital to the continued supremacy of the Democratic party. Now, since 1876, we have a new generation of Negroes in the North and West. They have been coming in a steady stream, bringing nothing with them but a slender satchell and a love of freedom and a willingness to labor at whatever they could find to do, so that there are now 75,000 in Philadelphia and 140,000 in Greater New York. They are making good. They have splendid churches, five of them in New York-St. Philips' P. E., St. Marks' M. E., Abyssinia Baptist, Mt. Olivet, Bethel A. M. E., the finest and richest of their kind in the nation; they have a small business development, fourteen years old, just as old as we have in the South, that is growing, and they have strong social and fraternal organizations that are increasing in numbers and wealth. And they have prosperous real estate operators, lawyers, doctors and undertakers who compare favorably with those of the South. As for newspapers, modesty prevents us from instituting a comparison. RESOLVED Further, that this association be permanently located in Washington, D. C., that membership and correspondence be solicited; that every Democrat and every patriot in the United States be invited to become a member. In the South the Negroes have been disinfranchised by thousands. "Jim Crow" lawa, such as separate accommodations on the trains, have been ruthlessly passed. Our women have been insulted and are compelled to submit to many indignities. There seems to be an element of white people in this country that believes that the "moral welfare and amicable relationship, so much desired by both races," can be brought about only by the Negro howing to every wish and whim of the Caucasian. The question of whether the white man is right or wrong cuts no future. Mark this: While the wealthy people of the North have sent more than one hundred million dollars to the South for Negro church, charitable and educational uplift since 1876, they have almost entirely overlooked and ignored the needy Negro at their doors, what they have given them being so small as to be negligible. All the educational work done and being done in the South is and has been largely paid for by Northern money, and that too by the deprivation of the needy Negro and his works of uplift in the North. We don't begrudge what has been given, but we do not think the beneficiaries of it should forget it and taunt us for being laggard. There are ten million Negroes in the United States. Indignity after indignity is being heaped upon the members of the race. The more subservient the Negro is the more he is kicked about. We have but one question to ask: ARE THE NEGROES COWARDS? The Northern Negro has had to give his children a High School education, which has been more advanced than the Negro colleges of the South give for the most part, and let it go at that, because he was too poor to do more, but he is getting in position to do better, and he is doing better. He has been a wage earner in restricted occupations in the North since 1876, and he is not much more now, because he has not had Negro numbers upon which to build business enterprises, white men trading not as much in the North as in the South with Negro vendors, and because many things Negroes sell to themselves in the South, because white vendors do not care for their trade, Northern Negroes have been and are at liberty to purchase of any one who has them to SPRAGGINS FOR COMMISSIONER.

If the Southern Negroes want to cut loose from the Northern Negroes after all the latter has done for them in peace and war, that is their business. But in this era of race development a united front is necessary—a co-operation between the Negroes of the North and South which will redound to the good of the race in both sections. The throwing of stones is not in order. In union there is strength. Broadly constituted of all ages and backgrounds, Negroes are becoming a law unto themselves, in the value they put upon themselves, in what they have done and what they are accomplishing, "along all lines," as Dr. Washington often expresses it, of moral, material and religious development, and that they resent the active interest and advice of Northern Negroes. "Look to your own condition and interest." "The Southern white man is our best friend; he understands us and we understand him better than you of the North do; so let us alone and attend to your own affairs, you of the North. You make our condition worse by your interest and advice." This sentiment is discoverable in many of our strongest papers in the South, and has gained strength with the growth of the National Negro Business League, which was suggested and brought to life in the North and nurtured in its infancy and growth during the past fourteen years by Northern brains and money. For instance, in an editorial based upon Dr. Washington's observations in the Northwest, that have been published in THE AGE, the Southwestern Christian Advocate, published at New Orleans, says: STATE'S RIGHTS AND RACE PREJUDICE AGAIN. When a nation once becomes possessed of a false theory it is difficult to teach it the error of the falsehood. It is the same way with an individual who, going wrong in a given thing, transmits it to his posterity as a running issue, which, when the posterity is numerous enough, may rise up as one man and shake a continent. State's rights is one of the theories that has troubled this nation from the foundation. As often as it has appeared it has been crushed, as in the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island, the nullification doctrine in South Carolina and the right of secession in the whole South in 1860, in the shadows of which the nation still stands. In a vast volume of its national debt and its enormous pension grants to the veterans and their heirs. The northern Negro, especially the native, looks with condescension upon his brother in the South and boasts of his freedom, but he has not turned his freedom to good account, as the testimony of Doctor Washington shows and is a matter of record in other parts of the country. The Negroes in the North, if they had used their opportunities, could have been a mighty force for the upift of the race. Not only were educational facilities at their doors, but all sorts of assistance could have been secured for their education. There were friendly and generous people who were willing to help every aspiring Negro. But the northern Negro has taken his freedom in which to have a good time and, caring little about the serious situation that faces the race, he has gone forward with his eyes closed to opportunity until his day of grace is passing, if it has not already passed. We are not unmindful of the cry that may be raised against this statement and the exceptions to this rule that may be pointed out. But the fact nevertheless remains, to the shame and the discredit of the Negroes who live in the North, that they have not used and are not to this day using the privileges that are open to them in the best universities and colleges of the land. If we search the records of Harvard, Yale, Wesleyan, Dartmouth, Amherst, Columbia, Princeton and other leading educational centers we shall find that in a large number of cases the Negroes who have taken advantage of the opportunity offered by these institutions have been Negroes who have gone from the South, in many instances green and lacking entirely the finer culture of life, but nevertheless afire with a determination and zeal to make good and establish a record for the race. The Negro of the North needs to awaken and that right early. The slaveholders' war should have settled for all time the question involved in the constitutional affirmation that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, not prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people," but it did not do so. The States still usurp rights delegated to the United States, such as the regulation of the times and places of election and the making and unmaking of citizens; discriminations of many sorts as between citizens and citizens of the same State and of other States, such as "Jim Crow" laws in travel and accommodation in the schools, in marriage and divorce, and the like. Laws between citizens of the same State should be uniform, working hardship on neither party concerned, and a contract valid in one State, such as a railroad or steamship ticket or marriage license or divorce degree, should be valid in every State. So it is with citizenship and suffrage. The United States only has power to say who are and shall be citizens and have the right of the franchise; and yet, in all of these vital matters the States claim and exercise the right to do about, them as they please, with conflict and confusion as the results. The Atlanta Independent and Baltimore Afro-American Ledger think as the Southwestern Christian Advocate does, and the thought is all too common. What are the facts? The present generation of Negroes in the Northern and Western States are Southern Negroes, by quite ninety-five per cent. of them, and far from looking down upon their brethren in the South they are disposed to exalt them at the expense of the old Negro families of the North who before the war contended for the freedom of their brethren in the South, constantly combating ruffianly mobs in Philadelphia, New York and Boston, and contributing of their scanty means to the support of the anti-slavery cause. When the war came on they rushed to the front as soon as they were allowed to do it and remained there until the war closed. And when the war was over the Northern Negro stood back while the Southern Negroes filled all the offices in the Southern States, in Washington and in the foreign service. It was impossible to get a Southern Negro politician to indorse a Northern one for any Federal position. "We must look after our own constituents," they said, and did. Wherever you find them now among the hosts of those who have come up from the South since 1876, those old Northern Negroes are sturdy, self-respecting people, who call no man master and eat no man's bread of charity; such of the old families in Philadelphia as the Stills, the Adgers, the Bowsers, the Bolivars; the Dorseys, the Potters, the Goulds, the Durhams, the Fortens, the Joneses; in New York the Petersons, the Downings, the Rayses, the Whites, the Marses, the Reasons, the Guions, the Bowerses, the Gilberts; in Boston the Walkers, Downings, Mitchells, Duprees. They show up today as strong in their way as the prominent white families of those times do in their remnant. We have no right to forget or disparage what they did in peace and war to bring about the freedom of their brothers in the South. They did the best they could according to their lights and opportunities, and their children hold their own today in all our business, church and social activity, not only in the North but in every section of the country whither they scattered after the war to lend a helping hand in the new order of things they aided to bring about. During the past four weeks the nation has been in a quiver of excited expectation over the determination of the Legislature of California to enact an alien land law aimed directly at the Japanese and in violation of certain treaty law existing between the United States and Japan. The Constitution declares that "all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land." The right of California, therefore, to enact any law that will violate the treaty law with Japan, or to do any act to disturb the good relations existing between a friendly power and the United States that may provoke war, clearly does not exist. Diplomatically, Japan does not recognize California at all; it recognizes, the whole United States in their State Department as the nation. and yet President Wilson has acknowledged the right of California to enact an alien land law aimed at the Japanese and in violation of treaty obligations, when no such right exists, and sent Secretary of State Bryan to Sacramento to reason with the headstrong Legislature, but all in vain. The Californians frankly and brutally admit that race prejudice is at the bottom of their opposition to the Japanese now, as it was in the case of the Chinese thirty years ago. They will not be crowded by the little brown men, they say; the white man cannot compete with the Japanese in driving a bargain, in doing the same amount of work for the same money, and in putting some of his earnings in bank or farm lands, instead of all of it on his back and in his stomach, as, white men do, they admit. The Russians make the same plea in the case of the Jews. The South makes the same plea in the case of the Negro in denying him by law and public opinion an equal chance in the race of life. It is the plea of the coward and the incompetent, who places the baby, act between him and those he fears to compete with, proclaiming all of the time a superiority and self-sufficiency which the facts disprove. The Japanese have insisted upon their treaty rights, and shown a fighting disposition not at all comforting to the haughty pride of the United States. The white man is putting his race prejudice bluff forward everywhere, and the Japanese are the first off-color people to call his hand. As time moves along his WWII and serpentine way we shall see what we shall see as to the right the white races claim to trample at their pleasure upon the rights and feelings of the black and colored races. In a recent issue of The Age we uncovered that the Welling "I am vindicated" is not real vindication. The hypocrite is there just the name. BOSTON.

He will be one of the speakers at the biennial meeting at Los Angeles, Cal., July, 1913. There is a total amount in the treasuries of the various auxiliarys of the church of $1,313.31. The Rev. B. W. Arnett, D. D., has been pastor of Bethel since July, 1912, a period of ten months. During that time there has been 160 conversions and accessions; cash raised, $88,45. There are 779 financial members, with 202 probationers. For the first time in three years the interest was paid this year without borrowing money to do so. The church is assisting Joseph Gomer, a theological student at Wilberforce University, and the Rev. Chas. Acworth of Bethel quarterly conference is engaged in prison work. During the past few years a large number of Bethel's membership has moved to the Harlem section, and as a consequence the attendance has fallen off. To overcome this handicap and at the same time do more effectual work in the advancement of the church's influence, the congregation of Bethel, in May, 1912, agreed to sell the Twenty-fifth street church and purchase a site in Harlem. On April 16, 1913, a deal was closed with Brooks & Co. 116 Nassau street, represented by J. R. Gleed, whereby the old church was exchanged for a new building to be erected at 52-60 West 132nd street, at a cost of $7,500, and a parsonage. There are five houses on the site at present. The contract calls for the tearing down of four houses to make way for the new church building, and the remodeling of the other into a parsonage. The property covers an area of 87 by 100 feet, and represents an approximate value of about $100,000. The architects for the new building will be Wengenroth & Matusii, lower Broadway. Bishop Evans Tyree, M. D., D. D. Nashville, Tenn., is the presiding bishop of the diocese and has paid two Episcopal visits to Bethel during this pastoral term. He evinced much interest in the consummation of the deal to transfer the church uptown. The Rev. A. R. Cooper, D. D. Brooklyn, is the presiding elder, and held his last quarterly conference April 25. He complimented pastor and church on the creditable reports from all departments. Hampton's Forty-fifth Anniversary. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM. Hampton, Va.

Although a protest was made last May against the discriminating policy of ‘segregating the colored patrons on the sides and the whites in the center, the managers of the house are trying to get away with the ‘ttunt again. Of wourse they are doing so because the colored theatregoers dre standing for “it.

While on: the subject of segregation, the sign of the times gives evidence that colored theatregoers with any self. respect will not have to submit to this Inock-about policy much longer. It is mot much enjoyment to go to a theatre for an evening’s entertainment only to become involved in some unnecessary discussion as to where you sit or who sits by you. ‘Throughout the United States up-to- date theatres are being opened for the eatertainment of colored people. OF course white people will be admitted, Bat -no special provision will be made for them. Everybody. will be accorded equal consideration, as is done on the street cars in New York City. In fact, there should be no amusement houses known as white or colored the- atres. Colored theatres to-day are Tooked upon 2s houses conducted by ssanagers who insist that there be no segregation of races, even if colored Patrons come in large numbers, In St. Louis Charles H. Turpin is building a modern theatre where the members of his race may go without having the color fine drawn on them. Im other cities white promoters who have taken advantage of the lack of commercial instinct shown by colored Business men are also putting up the- atres where there will be no drawing of the color line. Before many months there will be a circuit of houses formed. the managers of which can say “Pooh! pooh!” to the United Booking Offices and all the other vaudeville circuits. Then the colored performer will not have to go around to some of the offices with his hat in his hand pegging for work, Truc, many white performers are compelled to do likewise, but the proportion is not as great. When this circuit ai larger theatres is formed the attleude of the white. booking» agents whites who like to see good colored acts, and thea an effort will be, made to get those who ‘go to the Lafayette by putting one or two acts on the re spective bills weekly. It will be noticed aa well how the whites asd colored are seated at Seventh avenue and 1i2nd street. . * Theatres on the order of the ‘Lafayette Theatre are springing up all over the United States.

(BY GYLVEGTER RUSSELL.) | PERE POUT WES, SS VICNRIN Why speared at Entertainers’ Hall Apri 1, is meer the analogy of geaius ‘than any other colored virtuosi I ever heard, so perfect is his schooling and 30 remarkably keen is his ear to tone and harmony, and his conception of the ‘instrument and the value of what he interprets, that his art is a treasure and his expediciay of execution faultness and divine. ‘ The De ‘Koven. Thompson recital with Mme. Marie Burton Hyram ai soloist, at Bethel; Aprit 21, turned peo- ple away, owing to the popularity o! the singer and the composer of “If | Forget” fame, who had attracted the jattention-of Mme. Schumann-Heink. As @ composer Mr. Thompson is a man oi gentle nature who has aptitude in ‘tield of mediocrity, but not a master of interpretation. Mme. Hyram’s work as a languid conception of song read ing, 3 told, who suffered in song: written below her compass, She ha: beea ‘heard in oratorio and vaudeville to better advantage as her's is a voice that calls for vocal variety. Emory Elrage Scott, a new poct: with 'a true inspiration, whose work took im- mediate ition, appeared at Bethe April 16 where his merit was dis: covered. ‘Abtie Mitchell stole in for a, week's lay-over and appeared at the Washing- Yon in illustrated songs. She is booked over the western vaudeville time going west. ei Dick Enty, a brother of Professor Wm. C. Emty, the pianist, of Kingston, N. Y., bas opened a string instrument store on State street. TUSKEGEE RECITAL. The annuft exercises of the Depart ment of Music, Tuskegee Institute were held in the assembly room of Tompkins Hall Thursday evening May 1, at 8 o'clock. The recital was in evely way a pleasing and satisfac tory affair, consisting as it did, of a pleasing variety of selections. | The complete arrangement of the program which follows, shows in a measure the work accomplished by the stu: dents in the department of music ‘Am azdience of more than two thou sand persons heard the recital and all were favorably impressed with the clear-cut technique ant” artistic _inter- retation of each number. | Except for the Grat and cighth numbers, the entire was rendered by ju: vealle ‘performers, manag. between the ages, of 10 and 18 Digicalt 1 wus the last number, its rendition bs the young performers was splendid ir fechpigee and interpretation Many in the andience who heard masters in Peer Gyat Suite, might have cas ily pe themselves, were it no! for the brilliance of the room, thal favorite amd renowned performers were at the instroments. ‘The recital speaks volumes for Mis: Alice C. Simmons, head of the de- Dartmest;of imstramental music, wh after graduating from Tuskegee In. stitute and the musical departmeni of Fisk University, pursued further studies at Oberlin Cctitge She is ably assisted by Miss Adelaide Tow. son. BURLEIGH AT NASHVILLE. The- Mozart Society of Fisk Uni- versity, Nashville, Tenn. gave its seventy-first concert Jast Friday even- ing in Fisk Memorial Chapel. Scenes from “The Songs of Hiawatha” wa: the theme of the Mozart Concert and Harry T. Burleigh, the distinguished baritone of New York City, was the star attraction. Mr. Burleigh never sang better and never appeared before a more critical audience of music lov- ers. There was a large audience of the talented and fashionable members of both saces to hear “Hiawatha.” | John W. Work, the famous Fisk tenor, was also on the program, and emphasized his reputation as one of the leading tenor singers of the race. Mr. Work bas delighted great audi- ences of the East and the South dur- ing his career as a vocalist but ‘he never sang with more ease and grace than he did last Friday evening when he stirred the magnificent audience with the sweet strains of “Onaway Awake Beloved.” Miss Alice Muy Grass was-a. the organ and Prof. H. I.» Weight had the chorus ynder. hie direction. The concert was handled: mage-capably and the fine audiénce blswtded and fitted perfectly with the power of the singing and the spirit of Coleridge Taylor. Misses Marie Annie Jones land Cora Teverda Boulder were the soprano soloists and while they did not sing with such force and power as Mr. Burliegh and Mr. Work, their singing gave rich and dainty colorings to the performance of the work. Miss Jennie A. Robinson has worked uafalteringly in her purpose to keep Fisk at the head of the pro- cession of music in the schools estab- lished for the culturing of the Negro race and the results thus far are a credit to her ability and foresight. | Royal Giant, 11; Long Island City, 2 Earl's Rayo! ‘Giants defeated Long Yeland City at Recreation Park, Brook- jiyn, Sunday. 11 to 2.
