VOL. XXVI. No. 35. TOOK PULLMAN; ALMOST MOBBED Angry Crowd Meets the Train at De Funkink Springs, Fla. A "BRAVE" POLITICIAN T. J. Penn Gathers Together "Colonels" and Titled South- erners Before He Tries to Evict Negro. GETS IN "JIM CROW" CAR Colored Passenger Had Purchased Pull- man Ticket for Trip Between New Orleans and Jacksonville. Special to THE NEW YORK AMA. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 27.—The story of how a Negro of refinement and retiring in manner was almost mobbed at De Funiak Springs, Fla., a few days ago because he had the temerity to ride in a Pullman and eat his breakfast without leaving the car is going the rounds here. The principal to the incident is averse to having his name published, as he is not anxious for any potency. The incident emphasizes the uncompromising attitude of the radical element in the South whose diseased minds are so saturated with "colorphobia" that they yell "social equality" every time they get an opportunity. Although Pullman cars are put in service for the accommodation of the traveling public, the obstacle of a colored person sitting in a section all alone and attending to his or her own business is construed by some whites as an indication of "social equality" between colored and white people. As Americans are being denied the right to live in Pakistan cars and eat in dimers and buffet cars when they get hungry, there is some talk of taking steps to ascertain of the Interstate Commerce Commission just what position a colored man or woman is to occupy in such cases—sit up nights while traveling and go without food for hours or be accorded the privileges to which they are rightfully entitled. The colored man who had the exciting experience became a passenger on the pullman a New Orleans and was given berth one. During the night he slept without creating consternation, as the white passengers did not know of his presence. It was not until the next morning that his trip became eventful. He was sitting in his section eating his breakfast when T. J. Fenn, a representative of the Florida Legislature from Santa Rosa, whose education is woefully lacking on the Negro, spied him and at once protested to the train conductor that the presence of the colored man on the Pullman made conditions unbearable; that a white woman was likely to swoon any minute. Although Fenn showed undue emotion, fearing that the Negro's presence might result calamitously, every white man and woman on the Pullman comes in contact with Negroes in their household daily. The train conductor informed Fenn that the colored man had both Pullman and railroad tickets to Jacksonville from New Orleans, and that he was afraid to evict him from the Pullman, as a damage suit might be instituted against the company. However, if the occupant of the Pullman, who was causing so much confusion, chose to leave the Pullman and go into the Negro coach of his own violation his actions would make conditions less chaotic. Fenn later went into the parlor car, where several "colonels" were told about the "uppish" Negro, and they planned to evict him. Fenn did not try to do it alway; but for that matter in the South it always takes from six to a dozen white men to show their manhood when one Negro is concerned. The history of Fenn. Fenn, brave and fearless, and doing heroic work that entitles him to a Carnegie medal, led the angry array of "colonels," and other titled southerners to the field of battle. "But, alas! the enemy had vamoosed. The train conductor had overheard Penn gathering together the "brave and noble" warriors for battle, and fearing that the Negro would show fight and meet with serious injury on the train, advised him to go to the coach set apart for Negro passengers—even though he had paid for Pullman accommodation. When the train reached De Funiak another mob of "brave and highly resemble" citizens had gathered, having beforehand that an "impudent darker" raving in a style. The conductor having trouble, signaled the engineer to start, and the train left De Funiak at high speed. It is said that the white women on the Pullman were excited at the mob. The colored man rode the rest of the way in the "Jim Crow" coach. Late advices to The Aor state that the Negro who was almost mobbed at De Funiak Springa, Fla. last week was Suprehe Chancellor S. W. Green of the (Continued on Page 8.) --- SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS Holding Quadrennial Business Session in Suburb of Washington, D.C.—Negro Members are Well Represented. Enroll to the New York Arm. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 28—The Seventh Day Adventists are holding their quadrennial business session in a unique city of over six hundred tents, at Takoma Park, a suburb of this place. Pastor A. J. Haysmer, secretary of the North American Negro Department for the Adventists, Sunday delivered an inspiring report concerning the specific work of Adventists among the Negroes, and the remarkable growth and progress of the race generally. Among the prominent colored members of the church who heard Pastor Haysmer give his report were: J. K. Humphreys, New York; G. E. Rodgers, Baltimore; W. D. Ford, Chicago; L. W. Brown, Indianapolis; J. H. Lawrence, Louisville, Ky.; J. M. Campbell, Washington, D. C; W. H. Green, Detroit; Charles Lightner, Oklahoma City; George Peters, Montgomery, Ala.; J. G. Dasen, Birmingham, Ala.; J. W. Dancer, Little Rock, Ark.; M. Manas, Savannah; Mr. Strachan, Jacksonville, Fla.; Mr. King, Vickersburg, Miss.; Philip Gidding, of Dominica, W. I.; and Hubert Fletcher, of Jamaica, W. I. Concerning the work of the Seventh Day Adventist denomination among Negroes, the speaker said: "There is no question, in my mind, but that the Lord interposed for the freedom of the Negro race that they might be in a condition to accept the message of God through us which we began to teach shortly before the war. To-day there are 2,500 colored people in this faith. The Oakwood School at Huntsville, Ala., has just closed its most successful year, has graduated ministers, teachers, business men, and nurses. The amount of mission offerings, and tithie by colored people in 1912 was over $20,000." Special to THE NEW YORK ACM CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 27—Mrs. F. P. Osborne, a widow, was beaten up at $3. Blames last week, by an unknown white man, for the attack that of a Negro. After robbing the woman of $22 in money he choked her, knocked her seneless with his fist and escaped. This is the third outrage of this character in this district in the past two months. One victim, Sam Siskin, was killed. Some of the burned cork which rubbed off of the robber's face gave the police the clue that the work was done by a white man. PROTEST AGAINST NEW SEGREGATION MEASURE Negro Citizens of Baltimore Speak out Against Fallacy of White Law-makers Who Would Put Negroes in One Section—Hearing Held Monday Afternoon. BALTIMORE, Md. May 28—Asserting that the proposed Curtis segregation law was aimed at the efforts of Negroes to acquire better homes and that its passage would do an injustice to both Colored and white citizens, a large number of representative men and women of the race entered an emphatic protest against any such legislation before the City Council Committee on Police and Jail Monday afternoon. The protestants represented every avenue of life, and were for the most part those who had purchased homes in better neighborhoods. Not a single white man or woman who does business in a colored neighborhood—and there are hundreds of this class—was on hand to aid his patrons in fighting the unjust measure. The various speakers were introduced by City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, through whose efforts the hearing had been granted. Following the delivery of the various addresses against the easure, Councilman West, author of the bill recently declared invalid by Judge Elliott, urged that no action be taken on the pending bill until the Court of Appeals had handed down a decision on the appeal that has been filed.

R. M. Bolden's Successful Administration. Founded in 1796 by a committee of nine Negro men who withdrew amicably from the white Methodist Church, holding its first meetings in William Miller's cabinet shop, located in Cross street, in what had been a stable, Old Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, now located at 127, West 89th street in a commodious and splendid edifice, not only enjoys the distinction of being the oldest church of its denomination in the United States, but also has the unique honor of giving to the denomination its distinctive name. This comes from the fact that in 1801 nine men, Francis Jacobs, George Collins, Thomas Sipkins, George E. Moore, George White, David Bias, Peter Williams, Thomas Cook and William Brown trustees, were granted a corporate charter by the State of New York under the name of "Zion Church of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of New York City." As the denomination grew THE REV. RICHARD M. BOLDEN and extended its borders other churches established included the name Zion in their titles, thus causing the denomination to be known as the African Methodist Episcopal Zion' Church. In 1860 the General Conference made "Zion" a part of the corporate title. Old Mother Zion Church congregation衣贰修 for several years in the old stable building, but the congregation's steady increase made a change necessary and in 1800 lots were purchased at Church and Leonard streets on which a frame building was erected. In 1820 a stone structure was erected, and in 1840 a commodious brick building was put up. In 1864 this building was sold for $90,000, and after liquidating its mortgage the church at the corner of West Tenth and Bleecker streets was purchased. The surplus funds were invested in the tenement property on Grove street which the church still owns. During the one hundred and seventeen years of this church's existence some of the strongest ministers of the denomination have served as its pastor. Of the founders J. Varick, C. Rush, William Miller and G. Galbreath later became bishops. Forty Years in West Tenth St. During the forty years Mother Zion was located at West Tenth and Bleecker streets it was pastored by the Rev. Simons, later bishop; the Rev. William H. Dekker, the Rev. William Frederick Butler, the Rev. Jacob Thomas, D.D.; the Rev. James H. Smith, the Rev. Henry M. Wilson, the Rev. Abram Anderson, the Rev. T. O. R. Williams, the Rev. R. H. G. Dison, the Rev. S. Cowles, the Rev. Alexander Walters, now bishop; the Rev. Joseph S. Caldwell, now bishop; the Rev. M. R. Franklin, later bishop; the Rev. Paul S. Coyler, D.D., and the Rev. J. Sulla Cooper, D.D. During the pastorate of the Rev Dr. Cooper the expansion of the church's activities made necessary its removal and the opening of its street was continued on Page 11. THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1812.

Francis, who died Friday, May 24, at his home, 1102 Ninth street northwest, after a six weeks' illness, was held Monday afternoon at the Fifteenth Street Press. byterian Church, the Rev. E. J. Grimke officiating. Interment was at Woodlawn Cemetery. The large outpouring of citizens of Washington, representative of the best types of both races, and of all classes, together with the many and beautiful floral tributes, testified to the high esteem in which the deceased was held. The pall bearers were. J. C. Napier, Dr. J. R. Wilder, Prof. William Montgomery, H. C. Tyton, Shermont Lewis and Daniel Murray. Floral pieces were received from the Board of Trustees of Howard University, Apilho Boule, Gamma Boule. Board of Children's Guardian, faculty of the M. S. High School, faculty of the Argentine Museum, faculty of School Society, Colored Y. W. C. A. (Board of Managers), teachers and children of Temporary Home, Medica Chirurgical Society, Robt.

Letters and telegrams of condolence numbered in the hundreds. Dr. Francis was a man of commanding physique, exemplary habits, strong character and a record of 57 years unmarked by any previous serious illness, and his best of friends were shocked when the news spread through the city last week that the doctor was at the point of death, through the somewhat sudden development of a complication of ailments. He was taken to the well-equipped Freeedmen's hospital here, where every care that medical skill could suggest was given. However, all efforts to rally the patient were unavailing. In the beautiful tribute paid Dr. Francis' memory by his pastor, the many strong points in his character were finely emphasized, and the useful lessons to be drawn from his busy, useful life were eloquently presented by the pastor of the Berean Baptist Church, who participated in the service. The president of Howard University offered prayer, and two members of the university choir aided the choir of the 15th Street Prestyterian Church, in the beautifully appropriate musical selections. In the passing away of Dr. Francis, Washington has lost one of its most useful citizens, and the Negro race one of the most conspicuous examples of the best achievements of that race. Born in District of Columbia. Dr. Francis was born in the District of Columbia in 1856, and was given his early training in the private and public schools of this city. He completed his academic course at Wilbraham, Mass, and pursued his medical studies at Ann Arbor, Mich., where he graduated with high honors in the class of 1878. He immediately returned to Washington, where he began the practice of his profession. The high standing of his father's family proved of (Continued on Page 5.) The founder of the Manhattan Branch of the Y. M. C. A., the Rev. Charles T. Walker, D.D., LL.D. of Augusta, Ga., delivered two addresses to that organization last Sunday, in celebration of its twelfth anniversary. The opening exercises were held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. 161 West 53rd street, where the association was organized under Dr. Walker's pastorate in 1901, and the cochoding program was given at Young's Casino in the evening. Nearly one thousand persons gathered at Mt. Olivet in the afternoon. The preliminary exercises were presided over by Thomas Jefferson Bell, secretary of the branch which is located at 252 West 53rd street, and included scripture lesson by the Rev. Wm. P. Hayes, present pastor of Mt. Olivet, prayer by Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks M. E. Church, and the report on membership by Edward V. Williams, chairman of that committee, showing a membership of 330. William Fellows Morgan, president of the Associations of New York City, was presented as presiding officer, and in his introductory remarks stated that the board of directors of the city associations was engaged in an effort to raise a fund of $4,000,000 for new buildings and equipment, out of which the Colored Men's Branch would be generously provided for. He said that patience was required in the working out of many of our problems. Henry M. Orme, general secretary of the New York City Associations, spoke along similar lines. been involved in the Negro war was greeted by the audience standing and a thousand handkerchiefs waved him the Chantanqua salute. His subject was "Fifty Years of Freedom for the American Negro." Dr. Walker said he believed not only in evolution, but also in revelation. God had revealed, and the Apostles had proclaimed, the brotherhood of men. He told of the struggles through which the race had passed while trying to adjust itself to the new environment in which it found itself immediately after its emancipation, and declared that if ever God had made a patient race, surely the Negro was one. "I am not one of those," he said, "who apologize for slavery and declare that we got more out of it than we put in it," for I have always held that no man, however good he may be, is good enough to own the body of another man. Special music for this service was splendidly rendered by the choir of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, with H. Gladstone Marshall, organist and choir-monster. Night Meeting at Young's Casino. Twelve hundred people crowded into the auditorium at Young's Casino at 8 o'clock Sunday night for the concluding anniversary exercises, which were held under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, at which time Dr. Walker delivered his second address. Counselor James L. Curtis presided, and the platform was occupied by secretary P. A. Goines, of Orange, N. J. Watt Tylier of Boston, Mass, George W. Allen, Henry Darnell, J. C. Thomas, and other prominent men. Dr. Walker was introduced by Counsellor Curtis and spoke on "The Negro's Second Emancipation." He emphasized the fact that before the Negro secured his second emancipation he must stop being ashamed of himself and of his race. He must respect and defend the good name of the women of the race, and must likewise be farseeing and practice economy. Faith and courage, he said, would in time overcome all the ills from which the race now suffers. The work and aims of the association were ludicly and interestingly explained by George W. Allen. A special rally was held at each service, and the collection for the day amounted to $76.666. Three prizes had been offered by the association to be awarded to the three persons bringing in the largest sums to the collections. The first, prize was awarded to M. B. Johnson, who brought in $36.35; the second prize was won by Mrs. M. J. Bell, 104 West $3rd street. with $23.10; and the third went to Perry Griffin, who raised $22.51. NAMED SPECIAL DEPUTY SHERIFF Sheriff Harburger has appointed Henry C. Parker, of the firm of Nail & Parker, a special deputy sheriff. Mr. Parker is now wearing a badge which makes him an officer of New York County, but this well-known real estatbroker vows he will not exercise his authority unless it is absolutely necessary, not being ambitions to make arrests or do any fighting. Sheriff Harburger is one of the most popular officials in New York City. GAINS IN POPULATION Incredible Birth Rate and Other Causes Responsible for Gain of Negro Population in Second Prescinct, Washington, D.C. Special to THE NEW YORK ARM. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28.—A gain of 2,151 in the colored population and a loss of 675 in the white population in the section of the city embraced in the Second Police Precinct during the last year is shown by the annual police census, figures for the precinct having been completed. In 1912 the population of the precinct was 45,230. The last census shows a population of 46,603, a gain of 1,476 during the year. The Second Precinct includes practically all the territory bounded by 4 street, Florida avenue, Bowiewood or Rock Creek. The gain in the Negro population is accounted for by an increased birth rate over the whites, and by the fact that the whites are moving out of their many handsome residences in this precinct because of the presence of so many Negroes, who are buying or renting these residences vacated by whites. The Negro birth rate is showing a steady per cent. increase over the whites, while the Negro-death rate, heretofore higher per thousand than the whites, is diminishing, owing to improved sanitation mode of living on the part of Negroes. NEWT LEE TO BE SET FREE Special to THE NEW YORK AOR. ATLANTA, Ga., May 27—Newt. Lee, the colored janitor who has been held in the Phagan murder case, is to be released. The authorities have reached the conclusion that Lee is innocent of the crime of killing the white girl. Both city and private detectives have been questioning Lee for several days. Trusties have been put in the cell with him to get him to throw light on the murder, but all have, reached the conclusion that the prisoner knows nothing of the crime. When the dead baby of the Phagan girl was found the yellow journals of this city tried to start a race riot by indicting Lee without good grounds, and it was only due to the efforts of the local officials and conservative papers that a race riot was averted. CHURCH WINS SUIT The Harlem A. M. E. Zion Church has been awarded judgment against John R. Gleed, the real estate baker, the congregation having brought suit to recover $4,000, which it alleged Gleed owed the trustees, and to force an accounting in the transfer of certain properties which it is charged the defendant used in the purchase of the present church site in 138th street. Charles E. Toney was counsel for the congregation. Executive Committee of Council of Reformed Churches in America Recommends That Presbyterian Churches Co-op ate Among Negroes. Special to The New York Acq: ATLANTA, Ga., May 27.—The executive committee of the council of the reformed churches in America, which includes all branches of Presbyterian faith, in its session here last week, put itself unqualified on record in recommending co-operation in work among the Negroes. This means that all the reformed churches or Presbyterian churches will unite the separate and individual works they have been conducting among the Negroes under one central management. The recommendation of the committee was addressed to the general assemblies of the Presbyterian churches in session in Atlanta last week, to the general synod of the Reformed Church in America to meet at Ocean Grove, N. J., June, 1913, and to the general synod of the Reformed Church in the United States to meet at Lancaster, Pa., May, 1914. The recommendation provides in part: That in communities where there is considerable Negro population, and particularly where churches of the council are represented, and particularly where there exists or may be organized a Negro Presbyterian church, the session or consistorie of said churches should be urged to undertake some form of metropolitan work in behalf of the colored people of their respective locality. To insure a supply of well-trained lay worker for the lines of service here proposed, in addition to greater work heretofore commenced for the purpose of population in the cities of the south, we recommend, that the management of Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn., be requested to consider the propriety of establishing and maintaining a department for such training. Respectfully submitted by the executive committee: J. G. Snedecor, chairman of Tucumcain, Ala.; W. J. Darby, secretary, Evansville, Ind.; Charley E. Schaffer, Philadelphia, Ind.; and W. R. W. McGhannahan, burg and R. W. McGhannahan, of Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn. Addresses supporting the recommendation were made by the Rev. Dr. J. S. Lyons, Louisville, Ky.; Dr. W. J. Darby, Evansville, Ind.; Dr. Howard Agnew Johnson, Stamford, Conn.; the Rev. R. W. McGhannahan, Knoxville, Tenn., and a number of others. Has Largest Circulation PRICE FIVE CENTS ARNETT COMES BACK TO BETHEL 93rd Annual Session of New York A.M.E. Conference Adjourns BISHOP TYREE PRESIDES Conference Held from Wednesday to Monday at the Union Bethel A. M. E. Church in Brooklyn. LIST OF APPOINTMENTS Democratic Administration at Washington Severely Criticized by Ministers for Unfriendly Attitude. The ninety-third annual session of the New York Conference of the A. M. E. Church, which convened last Wednesday at the Union Bethel A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, Bishop Evans Tyre, D.D., presiding, adjourned Monday, after the assignment of ministers had been read. The Kev. B. W. Arnett returns to Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York City. While there was some little opposition to his reappointment, the majority of members of the congregation pointed to his good work for the year and asked that he be permitted to remain. The conference was full of interest and at times bordered on the sensational. This was particularly true Monday, when the report on the state of the country was read by the Rev. William Edwards, in which he severely criticised the administration at Washington for displacing colored officers with white men. He declared that the administration holds out no hope to the Negro. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Review, promptly came to the defense of the Wilson administration, and his remarks occasioned additional excitement. Then the Rev. Dr. Lowe lauded the Republican party and bitterly assailed the unfriendly attitude of the Democratic party at Washington toward the Negro. The prevailing sentiment showed that to date the Wilson administration is very unpopular among Negroes. Who Owns the Property. Last Thursday Counsellor F. F. Giles started an argument when he informed the conference that he was in possession of a piece of property at Elmhurst valued at $75,000. A lively discussion ensued between Counsellor Giles and the Rev. C. P. Cole and others. A committee was appointed to look into the matter. The conference was called to order by Bishop Tyree, after which the Holy Communion was celebrated, the roll called and the conference declared open. The following were appointed: the Rev. M. Lawrence, secretary; the Rev. Walter De Shields, recording secretary; the Rev. William H. Lacey, statistical secretary; the Rev. William Edwards, stenographer. Bishop Tyree's address to the conference was replete with wholesome advice to the men of his conference, giving encouragement and inspiration. REV. James Delivere Annual Service The annual sermon to the conference was delivered by the Rev. I. S. Sands of Kingston, and was a thoughtful do course. The programme for the evening, which was given by the Missionary Department, consisted of musical and literary selections and short addresses by the Revs. Lowe. McDonald and Ransom. The Rev. A. L. Murray, vicepresident of the Missionary department presided. Much interest centred in the reports of the two presiding elders, the Rev. J. J. Walters, of the Long Island, and the Rev. A. R. Cooper, D.D., of the Albany districts. Through the Rev. B. F. Arnett, pastor of the Bethel) A. M. E. Church, Manhattan, the sum of $546 was presented to the conference, an excess of $46 over last year's contribution. The old historic Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, through its pastor, the Rev. C. P. Cole, D.D., reported the sum of $500. fifty dollars in excess of last year. The smaller charges reported proportionately as well and all demonstrated that they had worked untimely for the year's success. The financial reports of the presiding elders showed that $260,099 had been raised by the connection from all sources during the year. Of this amount $1,305.10 was raised by the Albany District and $1,295.89 by the Long Island District. LONG ISLAND DISTRICT—J. J. Walters. Providing Elder, Bridge St. .

The selection of the men was made irrespective of color by order of President Menocal. PRISON SENTENCE FOR MURDERERS OF BOY BURLINGTON, Vt., May 27.—Prison sentences of not less than six years were given Monday to Henry Goodrich, Henry McCabe and James Sweeney, who in trying to make Samuel Rounds, a Negro boy, confess to stealing accidentally drowned him at Bolton. They made the boy take part in a "snap the whip" game and "snapped" him into the river. BUSINESS INSTITUTIONS Special to The New York Aon Fr. Worth, Tex., May 27. After failing to break into jail to lynch a Negro prisoner who had killed another Negro and a white police officer, wounded three others and then shot himself, a mob of whites attempted to demolish all the local business institu- tions conducted by Negroes. The bank, restaurants, grocery stores, sa- loons and drug stores were visited by the party of lawless, whites and much damage was done. The white news- papers have not given much space to the work of the mob. STUDENTS MAKE HIT SINGING FOLK SONGS Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. ATLANTA, Ga., May 27.—The singing of the old time Negro plantation songs has grown rather popular in recent months. A group of students from Atlanta Baptist College sang before the Presbyterian General Assembly in the auditorium a few evenings ago and gave the highest satisfaction to the large white audience. Only a few years ago the singing of these old time Negro songs was looked upon with disfavor in practically all of the Negro colleges in the United States except Fisk University, Hampton Institute and Tuskegee. There seems to have been a great change of heart in recent years among our institutions of higher learning on the point of singing these songs. Such institutions as Atlanta Baptist College and others here in Atlanta now sing old time songs with great earnestness and fervor. The leaders in higher education now seem to realize the mistake they have made for so many years being indifferent to these songs or opposed to them. The colored people seem to enjoy them as much as the white people. SELECT JUNE 4 AS ALUMNI DAY Special to THE NEW YORK ACM: WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28.—The committee of arrangements of the General Alumni Association of Howard University met Tuesday evening, May 20, in the Board Room of the Carnegie Library, Howard University campus, and completed arrangements for Alumni Day, June 4. The members of the committee present were: G. Smith Wormley, chairman; the Rev. D. E. Wiseman, vice-president; George F. Collins, secretary; Mrs. Alma J. Scott, treasurer; Miss Nellie M. Quander, Miss Eva Johnson, Messrs. R. A. Pelham, E. P. Davis, Meyers and Turner. The program adopted for the day follows: At 10 a. m., business session of the Alumni Association; 12 m., annual address by Isaac H. Nutter, member of the bar of Atlantic City, N. J.; 4 p. m., commencement; 8 p. m., lawn fete, promenade concert, illumination of grounds and buildings. Cards of admission to the lawn fete may be obtained from any member of the committee for fifty cents each and will be on sale at the various drug stores throughout the city. The graduates from all departments of the university for the year 1913 are to be the guests of the Alumni Association. TOOK PULLMAN ALMOST MOBBED (Continued from page 17) Knights of Pythias, and that the trouble occurred while on his way to the session of the Grand Lodge held at Ocala, Fla. Mr. Green also experienced trouble upon his return from Ocala, having been rescued by a sheriff at Milton Junction, Fla. a.sa mob was present to take him out of his stateroom. Mindful of his unpleasant experience last week, Supreme Chancellor Green secured a stateroom upon his return to New Orleans. He did not mingle with the whites and it was not until Tuesday that he was discovered on the Pullman. Before the train reached River Junction the Supreme Chancellor was asked by the train conductor to go into the "Jim Crow" car, as a mob was bent on lynching him for having the nerve to ride on a Pullman. When the train reached River Junction a crowd of poor whites boarded the train in search of him, but he was not identified in the "Jim Crow" coach. When the train reached Milton another mob tried to get the Supreme Chancellor, who was rescued by the Sheriff. He was later put under bond for "violating" the "Jim Crow" law and permitted to proceed to New Orleans. Such is the spirit that pervades the South, and is now knocking loudly at the portals of the capital city, to give further evidence that the United States in the country of the unopressed, of the brave and of the free. A commendation has been made to the president of a large audience including prominent churchmen and visitors, the annual commencement exercises of Livingstone College came to an end Wednesday, closing the thirty-first year of the college, which was founded by the late J. C. Price. The commencement exercises opened with the commencement of the grammar school department last Thursday, Prof. R. B.

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 sent 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 regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort, I did so, and later purchased two of them. Since then the great change in my career has been so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief. My business increased rapidly, and not a thing has occurred to mar my state of happiness.

Dear Sirs: Several weeks ago I foolishly laid the chamols bag containing the two Loadstones on the dresser and forgot them. Trouble began as of old: my husband was fretful 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.

JAPANESE DIGNITY STILL PUZZLE American newspapers, and of the better sort, continue to make believe that they cannot understand that the Japanese Government should have any national pride and dignity to interject into American discrimination against them "on account of race and color" in our land, immigration and other laws and in our pointed and brutal discussion of the race question generally. They would make it appear that Japan has nothing to complain of when they are told and made to understand that they are an off-color people not fit to become citizens of the United States, or own land, or enjoy other privileges granted freely to the aliens among us under the "most favored nations" clause of our treaty laws, while we receive freely the off-courances of the mongrel races of Europe, on the plea that "they belong to the white race," when, as a matter of fact, most of them are crosses of all the races and are colored all the way from mates to male sand, the straight hair being the only sign that they belong to the gracious alleged white races of Europe. For instance, the Washington correspondent of the New York Times "It has been made apparent here repeatedly that the main contention of Japan is not so much the imposition of Japanese rights, but that it is in affront to Japanese pride and honor. The Japanese have gone behind the Japanese in the effort to sit on the spirit and intent of discrimination against their countrymen, which attested the California legislators. They have opposed the institution in the California legislation that Americanus on the Pacific coast consider the Japanese there as persons unfit for association with them on equal terms. In taking such an attitude the Japanese Government has put itself in the position where it must insist that the offensive legislation be eliminated, or else we would without prejudice in the law that such use in the California law and all that like it be held it. To nullify the law is beyond the President's power. The attitude of the Japenese Government is perfectly natural. When the American Government throws the race and color line in their faces they are within their right as a nation to resent it or "swallow without a grimace the bitter pill." They may even accept the condition for the time being, but the Asiatic mind, like the Indian mind, harbors insult and injury until a convenient season occurs to even up the scores. Japan did this with Russia, which has 100,000,000 more people than Japan, while Japan has 42,000,000 less than the United States. The Japanese have shown in naval, fort and field work that they can handle a machine gun with as deadly execution as the Russians and Americans. "To nullify the California law is beyond the President's power," of course, but it was not beyond the President's power to deny the right of the California legislature to agitate and enact legislation that disturbs "the good relations" of the Government "with a friendly power" and to drag the nation into a possible war, but he did do so. He admitted the right; but pleaded with the forty-eighth nixed State not to do so. The right of any one of the forty- in a dozen by twelve, along the bottom and back of the same table, one another better than candidates do, and that each candidate should have them alone to work out their salvation at the feast of the idol, far from having originated with black people, was set up long before the slave war by John Caldwell Calhoun of South Carolina and his States rights school of iconoclasts, and reaffirmed by Henry Wolfgang Grady of Georgia, as being "the marrow of tradition" in the bosom of white man, in an address delivered in Boston, as the base of the Crispus Attacks' monument, so to speak, long before the war. In the mouths of Calhoun and Grady, before and after the slave war, the interpretation of the saying is this: "Leave the Negro and the Negro question to us; we understand it better than you do; we will settle it." In the mouths of Negroes it becomes a base imitation of reiteration and in the last analysis is unchanged in meaning. As no man lives unto himself, but depends in large measure upon his neighbor, so also the people of no section of States live unto themselves or can be a law unto themselves, in any collection of States with four sections as one country. They must necessarily have respect for the common laws and public opinion that govern the whole country, rather than one section of it. Anyhow, the Southern whites have many funny ways, as many as Southern blacks have, that puzzle the uninitiated. For instance, Dr. Booker T. Washington recently made a trip through certain counties of Tidewater Virginia, making seven helpful addresses to both races, as we reported in Tum Ack of May 15. When the party reached Gloucester, where some 5,000 people were gathered at the court house, "Judge Jones, upon learning of the presence of the famous educator, at once adjourned court." Now, it does not matter from what angle we regard this fact, or what estimate we place upon an analysis of it; it is a rare tribute for a white judge to pay a Negro educator, and is just as far away from Appomattox Court House in 1865 as Jamestown in 1620, in point of principle concerned, for slavery was born at Jamestown and was shot to death at Appomattox Court House. It is according to the eternal fitness of things, therefore, that a Virginia judge at Gloucester should sub-consciously bring the four dates in the slavery tragedy together as a completion—the slave at Jametown, in 1620; Nat Turner, the slave protestant, in South Hampton County, in 1831; John Brown at Harper's Ferry, in 1856; Lee and Grant at Appamattatto Court House, in 1865; while Judge Jones opened the new chapter of freedom and citizenship at Gloucester Court House in 1913 in the fifth date. Let us hope and labor to the end that before the sixth and seventh dates have been lived out and passed, as in the natural order they will be, the Negro's place in American life and citizenship will be a fixed, honorable and mutually helpful one. Think of it and study it—the history made in agony and tears in national strife and bloodshed from 1619 to 1913, a period of 294 years! The whole Christian world has been transformed within that period, in so far that slavery, and the principle of the harem relations of the sexes have everywhere passed under the condemnation of the law and of public opinion. The principles of Christian brotherhood and friendship will not be established by the Christian nations which have drawn definitely the race and caste line against the peoples of Asia and Africa, even when they are strangers within the gates, in the Scriptural sense of virtual incorporation in the body politic. On the other hand, the Negro has made splendid progress in home, church and character building, the sure foundation of good citizenship, since 1865. He can say that much for himself and quote Federal statistics to bear him out—statistics that his enemies may make faces at if they will, but cannot rub out, as signs written in the sands. Accomplished facts, theories translated into realities, become assets, like pennies translated into dollars, and must be reckoned with. There is another incident worthy of remembrance, bearing upon the same subject, and which occurred in territory that before the war was an integral part of old Virginia. In September, 1901, at the time President McKinley was assassinated at Buffalo, Dr. Washington and a party of friends were encamped on the Gauley River, in West Virginia. The mountaineers for miles around drove by the camp. Many of them desired to see Dr. Washington, and many just gazed at the camp and those about it without saying anything. They were all very much interested in the most famous man the State had produced, and had their own way of showing that they did. One day a mountaineer drove into camp, having a small boy with him, and called for Dr. Washington. "You be Washington, eh? Well, I don't care a darn about you myself, but my son goes to school and they've been a readin' about you an' he wanted to see you fur himself, an' I've fetched him, an' here he is; an' to show. there's no bad feelings he's fetched you this here watermelon." Before they left the camp they had established a very friendly relation with Dr. Washington. Dr. Washington introduced one of his party to the old mountaineer as "having once been a Democrat," and he did it with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "Well," said the old mountaineer, "I be a War Unionist, I be, an' I don't think a Negro Democrat is good fur anything except to be shot." He had a brace of revolvers buckled on him. That was twelve years ago, and we suppose the old mountaineer is still voting the Republican ticket and insisting that his son do as his father did before the war. The fact is recognized in spots by the enemy that the Negro free man is not as was the Negro slave; that he has produced great men who have made honorable marks upon the history of their times, and that the race as a whole has done a great deal of home, church and character building. When so much has been accomplished in fifty years, with the empty-handed conditions with which the Negro had to contend, how much more should be expected within the next fifty years! The foundation of every individual as of every race is the most important part about it. There are plenty of signs that the Negro has fifty years of building upon his foundation before him, with plenty of foes to overcome—foes outside and inside of the race. What he shall have to show for it in results at the end of that time in home, church and character building will depend much upon the measure of citizenship—brotherhood and friendship—he will be able to gather to himself out of the conflict, for there can be no full development in home, church and character building without reasonable participation in the making and protection of the laws of the land. eight States to provoke war or bad feeling with any friendly foreign Government is denied by the Federal Constitution, which makes treaty laws "the supreme law of the land", and places the power of making them in the hands of the President and the Senate. The New York Times says, editorially: "Difference of custom and habits of ways of thought and action, upon a plane of entire equality might well make race blending or association inadmissible for the good of all concerned." Perhaps; but the "Japanese have something to say about that, are saying it, and will continue to say it. Speaking on the same subject, the London Times says: "It is a world question essentially. Japan is disposed to challenge the very essence of the attitude of western nations toward Asiatics. She asks admission to the comity of nations on equal terms." She does not ask, she insists; and what she insists to-day her neighbors, China and India, may insist to-morrow. The Mohammedan African in Egypt and other sections of the African continent under European government have been insisting for some time, and will continue to do so, upon some measure of what constitutes the Japanese demand. The machine gun makes all soldiers the same size, and the school book gives all soldiers the key that unlocks the terrors of the machine gun. When the French Revolution more than a hundred years ago unloosed upon the modern world "liberty, equality and fraternity" it meant what it stood for in the razing of the basse and the cutting off the heads of both the King and the Queen; it meant that mankind demanded and would have a square deal in all of the relations of their own government, and in relations to and with other governments. OUR REGIMENT We find so little opinion in the daily newspapers of New York that leans to our side in justice and fair play that we are moved to reproduce the following contribution to the hostile New York Times: The Legislature of New York has recently passed the Kane bill, providing for the criminal prosecution of the heads of the department of infantry in the New York National Guard, to be quartered in New York City. For ten years the Negroes of this State have trained which common sense would have recorded them without the asking. In time of war the Negro is always expected to perform military service, and to deny him military training, of peace is inconsistent, to say the least. The National Guard, as the first support of the regular army, would certainly be called on to assist in the fight against important that the Negro citizen should have the opportunity for National Guard training. In a Negro regiment in New York is based solely on race prejudice against Negro officers. The social bugaboo has loomed up when this issue was raised, however, those who have seen field service know full well the absurdity of this hallucination served in Cuba and in the Philippines in Negro regiments. In same posts with white regiments and white officers. I have seen mixed guards of colored and white officers. I have seen blacks and whites kinds and never at any time was there friction between them. In fact, many white officers of the regular army went out of their tend aid and encouragement to Negro officers. Illinois, Ohio and the District of Columbia have Negro organizations, and Pennsylvania has a full Negro regiment. The records of the War Department show that Negro organizations in the National Guard stand well upon the effusion of Negro officers and any facial clashes between officers or men. MELVIN SOUTHWICK New York, May 16, 1913. There are millions of white Americans who think as Mr. Southwick does. THE FOURTHTH AMENDMENT. We once advised a civil impressor of ours, a graduate of Harvard University, to write a book on the War amendments and the Federal Supreme Court decisions based upon them that would be a standard legal authority and one of the best services he could render the Negro people. He thought well of the advice, but nothing came of it. Mr. Charles Welfare Collins has written a book on the "Fourteenth Amendment," which is declared by the New York State reviewer to be "an able treatment of an important phase of our Constitutional law." The Amendment has not served its purpose to safeguard the civil and political rights of the Negro, because the courts have been antagonistic to the letter as well as to the spirit of it, and because the Congress has failed to enact any "appropriate legislation" to make effective its many provisions. However, there has been abundant litigation based upon those provisions, ranging all the way from a suit to recover the value of a dog in Louisiana to the regulation of graveyards in California. Of the 604 cases that have been brought under the Fourteenth Amendment only twenty-eight have concerned the Negro, in which the decisions have been that "no discrimination, may, be made solely on grounds of race or color; leaving a large loophole for evasion of the spirit of the law in the difficulty of furnishing legal proof of the grounds on which discrimination rested." Mr. Collins, like many other short-sighted prophets who should have others do unto him as he would do unto others, "apparently regrets that the Republican party did not make the Negro, like the Indian, a ward of the Nation rather than a citizen from birth." Former Senator George F. Edmunds, who helped shape the amendment, does not think so even now. If the first section of the Amendment defining citizenship were enforced the four other sections could well be ignored, as far as the Negro is concerned, as his right as a citizen, together with the first section of the Fifteenth Amendment is sufficiently defined and safeguarded by it. Speaking of the War amendments in the April Century Magazine, Former Senator Edmunds says: "These measures were not measures of cruelty and tyranny, but of justice and hopefulness. After the lapse of years it is evident to me that nothing better could have been done, and that nothing done by Congress should have been omitted." THE THEORY OF THE LAW. Most people are disposed to regard all theories from their viewpoint. If there is nothing in it for them, however much good it may represent, however many it may benefit, they set themselves against it. Sometimes it is a reform in the character of the laws for the betterment of the condition of the many whom the few have in some way managed to get the better of, such as the agitation against human slavery, not only in its aggravated but milder forms, and in order to effect which a great war is often made necessary, as in the United States in 1860. As a matter of fact, the history of the past 1913 years is made up in all its essential parts by wars for the enlargement of the rights of the masses of the people in the benefits of their government and its industries of which they are individual if not decisive factors. Slavery in one degree or another, persons held to service without their consent, existed in most countries up to 1860, and since its gradual abolition wage slavery, contract slavery, has taken its place and holds a person to service as securely as if he were born a slave. The imperative needs and demands of the stomach make slaves of all wage earners, and keep them slaves until they free themselves by saving enough of what they earn to make them independent of the daily grind. In this respect the theory of the law is that every person who has not visible means of support is dangerous and must be watched in the interest of those who have. The idle rich who have incomes in stocks and bonds or lands and tenements are known of their neighbors as well as the idle poor who live from hand to mouth, and are not too proud to "raise a chicken in the dark" or a conveniently placed purse in daylight. But people who have much usually strive to have more, so that if they cannot enlarge their principal they will not diminish it. Only foolish persons spend as they go, with no thought for the morrow; they are not in the class with those who do. The accepted theory of our law, as defined by Blackstone, is that it "is a rule of civil conduct prescribed by the supreme power in the state, permitting what is right, and prohibiting what is wrong," but very often it happens in fact that "wrong" is spelled for "right" in the law. Speaking of the proposed legislation to exempt farmers' organizations and labor unions from prosecution under the Sherman law for allowed con- 1 "When the representatives of an organization have every reason, other and condition of life have crystallized the views of those they represent into a rule of action that is consistent with the interests of all who violate its terms. If it be a bad rule change it in the open, it will be made public and publicized, but do not compromise with authority by suspending its enforcement as to some and seeking to compete with your authority, and be ready for its enforcement as to others." This is the correct view of laws based upon the Federal Constitution which should bear equally upon all parties concerned as to property and things. How much truer, then, should it be of the larger question of personal rights, which should take precedence in law and interpretation of the constitution of property and things, because the person creates the property and things. As far as white persons are concerned an effort is sought in the findings of courts and the acts of legislatures to make the distinction pronounced as between persons and things, giving preference of course to persons who create things and not to things that create no persons; but in the case of "black people and persons of color" the effort has been since 1856 to confound them with things as things, or things less in the eyes of the law than persons. This is the attitude of the Federal and State courts. More, this is also the attitude of white American public opinion; not all of it, but enough of it to shape legislation and court interpretation. what then? It is impossible for any part of a whole people to develop the best in them intellectually, morally and materially when they are hemmed in as the Indians are on Government reservations by laws that doom them to the pale and public opinion that hounds them back into it when they escape from it. Legal prohibitions and social ostracism work the same ends of slow or precipitate death to the man or the race. In order, then, to have the largest development in all directions the Negro must have no more legal restraint and social proscription to hamper him than others have. When he has it his supreme task is to rid himself of it or modify it as far as possible. Says He Was Misquoted. To the Editor of The Arg: The editors in your recent issue in which you make mention of my name is based upon the Associated Press report of my address before the recent invention, which report was very inaccurate and misleading. No one could have been more surprised than I when, as I was leaving St. Louis a day or so after the speech, I purchased a telescope and saw the manner in which my utterances had been reported to the country. The meeting was a religious one and a remark made concerning the white people of the pool and saw the manner in which my utterances had been reported to the country. The meeting was a religious one and a remark made concerning the white people of the pool and saw the manner in which my utterances had been reported to the country. There was nothing or no occasion for me to compare their civil life with that of the white people and I did not do so. The entire convention will bear me out in this assertion. I enclose herewith a copy of the speech as it was delivered. I beg to say that I am, Yours respectfully, SUTTON E. GRIGGS. Memphis, Tenn. May 25, 1913.

(From the Winston, N. C., Morning Not a few white people in and out of the South make a mistake in putting all Negroes into one class and judging the whole colored population by the worst specimens in the arbitrary generalization. There are Negroes and Negroes, just as there are whites and whites. We of North Carolina have on occasion protested most vigorously and righteously against the practice of muck-raking writers from the North, and of "milionarian" from the same section in polls up the same people in the State as typical Tar Heels, and the standard of living as the typical standard of North Carolina. Nevertheless, we ourselves are pros to hand to the Negro the same treatment and to allow our race prejudice against everything, black to make us blind to the fact that while there are Negroes little, if any better than animals, there are Negroes who honestly strive to make progress, to produce and to become independent, law-abiding citizens of some value to the common people. It is we who uphold and unfair to judge these industrious colored men by the Negroes who figure in every session of a criminal court. The Star yesterday carried an item about a colored trucker who is keeping up with the best white truckers in the county in producing truck of quality and getting it on the market in time to catch the first and highest prices. Isn't it rather discouraging to the class of Negroes this man from working on a hand generalization with the criminal "inggers" who spend most of their time coming and going between the Boarder's court and the chaining? There are thousands of Negroes who have never been in a court as witness or principal: thousands who have never engaged in crime, but who, as best they can, are doing their various jobs. They have every encouragement and should be involved in the criminal element of their race, because the more such Negroes there are in the South, the better for the South it will be. The suffragettes of England have succeeded in inaugurating a relief of terror which has not made theirention for ballot rights out of question. They have degraded the man who the law denies him and the gutter. Woman like man is only half a living creature standing alone when they marry their rights of all sorts become common to them as one person. An unmarried woman's status is defined and established in law but only a woman can be a troublesome genotype legally and socially. (Continued below page 1.) admitted in 1988. Since after the change the Rev. J. H. McMullen, D.D. succeeded Dr. Cooper, Four years ago the present pastor, the Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden was assigned to Mother Zion. Under his guidance Mother Zion has gone steadily forward. Recently hundred adoptions to the shelterhood and approximately $25,000 raised in collections represent a part of the result of his efforts. During his administration the church has invested in the apartment house property at 101-103 West 101th street, which is assessed at $60,000. The property in West 101th street now owned by the Rush Memorial A. M. E. Z. Church, of which the Rev, Dr. J. H. McMullen is pastor, will also acquired under the Rev. Mr. Bolden's administration. Not only is Mother Zion the mother church of its denomination, but from its membership went out the company which organized the church known as St. Mark's M. E. Church. The Rush Memorial A. M. E. Z. Church is an offspring of Mother Zion. The Howard Orphanage. Brooklyn, had its inception in a home for the Old Folks' Mother Brooklyn is another institution owing its existence to the pioneer work of this church. Receipts For Year $16,294.31.

M. E. Zion Church of America. The church is paying all the expenses of the trip. Pastor Bolden will sail June 21 at 12 o'clock on the steamer Majestic of the White Star line. He will go to Southampton, stopping in Paris en route to Zurich. Leaving Zurich, he will make a tour of Europe, visiting Geneva, Genoa, Florence, Rome, Venice, Vienna, Berlin, Antwerp, Brussels, The Hague and London, returning via Liverpool, August 9 on the Mauretania, of the Gunard line.

JOHN R. FRANOS DEAD value to him in the effort to gain a professional footwork in the community, and the correct careful, intelligent industry which he displayed in his work supplied all that he needed to lay the foundation for the splendid professional success he achieved. For thirty-five years he applied himself assidiously to his profession, and at his death was in the lead of the strong, capable and successful group of colored practitioners here. Dr. Francis was the first colored physician to build and equip a sanitarium here for colored patients the first to install a complete electrical outfit in his office for meeting all modern demands of electrical treatment of diseases; the first to use an automobile in his practice, and the first to install telephone service in his office. He was always identified with the Freedmen's Hospital, having once served as acting surgeon-in-chief through an appointment by the Secretary of the Interior, Hoke Smith, during the Cleveland administration. Onoo Member of School Board. The deceased was at one time a member of the District School Board, in which capacity he introduced many measures representing acknowledged improvements in the educational system of the city. The introduction of industrial instruction in the colored public school raising of the standard of the teacher in the High School, and the institution of meetings for the conference of teachers were some of the things brought about by his initiative. He was a member of the Board of Children's Guardians, and a trustee of Howard University, and also president of the board which conducts the colored social settlement work in southwest Washington. Dr. Francis's surviving family consists of his widow, Mra. Bettie Francis, a young daughter in the High School, and four sons, one of whom is practicing medicine, having graduated from Howard University; another graduating from the University of Pennsylvania; is now practicing dentistry here; another who graduated from Harvard University and also from the Harvard Law School, is now practicing his profession in San Juan, Porto Rico, and the fourth son, having graduated from Dartmouth, is now teaching in this city.

Baltimore has now been organized to promote the work of the league, a movement but effective work should be operative in the Pittsburg business district. The league is composed mainly of business residents in around Baltimore, plus a few miles beyond the north. The league was of the kind of organization that is evidenced of Attorney C. Fitzgerald following a call from Spencer Fitzgerald, a professorial fellow in Anne Arundel county. Some of the members are selected as high as 12,000 and node pay taxes on less than 12,000 worth of land. Those devoted to the organization mostly meet in the city and they co-operate in every way. Farm supplies are bought in wholesale lots and dotted out to the members thus saving the middleman's profit. Attorney Fitzgerald, who is one of the leading spirits in the work of the league, is a member of the league very successful in civil and equity practice. He lives on sixty acres near Relay.

But Mme. Jones has been working steadily for seventeen years on one job. This week Manager Rudolph Voeckel made public that Mme.

The renowned singer is at her home in Providence, R. 1, with her mother, where she wil] remain until August. Last week B. G. Hull was awarded judgment for $100 damages against Moss & Brill, ownery-of the 6th Street, Theatre, the theayfical managers hav- ing: to pay the fine for violating the statutes which provide against discrimi- nation in public places because of color. ‘The decision, holding that Moss & Brill were guilty, was rendered by Judge Marks of the Municipal Court, a fear- Yess court official, one whom all col- ored residents of New York should re- member. It must not be overlooked that ia some instances judges do not decide cases according to the law and evidence, but are prompted to act by outside influences—influences which are always at work. The owners of the 86th Street Thea- tre are the first to feel the sting of the law since the Levy bill became operative, which was passed to strengthen the Civil Rights Act and give the resi- dents of New York who are proscribed against on account of color, race and treligion a better opportunity to get re- dress. The colored residents of New York who believe in fighting for their rights should hail the conclusions reached in the case as a big victory. Had Moss & Brill won the daily papers would have had much to say relative thereto. But as a colored man won the importance of the decision was dis- counted. However, we must learn to place a value on things from our view- point. Mr. Hull testified that on several oc- casions he went to the 6th Street Theatre and was sold tickets for the first floor. He is of light complexion and was mistaken, it is prestmed, far a white man. On the evening of De- cemlicr 14th he went to the theatre, ac- companied hy two colored ladies whe were of darker hue, and when he ap: plied for tickets for the first floor he was refused. Mr. [Hull was informed that he could buy seats for .the bal cony but no seats on the first floor were available. The witnesses for the plain: tiff corroborated his testimony, claim ing that the theatre party could have secured tickets for the first floor if those in the box-office had been dis- posed to sell them. © . A colored performer. was heard to remark one evening this week that the decision of Judge Marks would result in Moes & Brill ceasing to play colored acts in their houses. It is difficult to believe that they are s02f&frow-minded. Because they broke the law and were fined for so doing does not justify any such unfriendly attitude toward: the colored vawdevillian who had sothing to do with the Hull case. Those who do the booking for Moss & Brill shoald do them the favor of showing them that it would be>foolish to adopt such a policy, even if they were inclined to do so. Within the past year every suit properly brought against managers of theatres who have drawn the “color line” has been decided in favor of Ne groes. Let the good work continue! -———__—___—___.

T Motion pictares exclusive of vaude- ville seem to have caught on with a rush at the Franklin Theatre. The new policy was inaugurated Monday after- noon, and motion pictures for five cents at both afternoon and evening perform- ances will prove a winning combination. judging from present indications, The pictares are mew and furnish wholesome amascment. If the Franklin Theatre continues te pat om the high-class pic- teres shown the ferst half of the week there is mo ranson why it should not enjoy success 33 a motion picture house. WASHINGTON CONSERV- ATORY EXERCISES Before the audience which crowded the Howard Theatre, Washington, D. C., the commencement exercises of the Washington Conservatory of Music were held Weiinesday afternoon, May 21, marking the completion of the fourth season of this institution, which is de- | voted to the musical education of the Negro. | Nearly every composition rendered by the pupils of the conservatory, of which organization Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Mar- ‘shall is president, was the werk of col- ‘ored composers. One of the principal aims of the school is to cultivate and ‘ericourage the development of the folk music of the race, which work has been commenced by S. Coleridge-Taylor and others. The program opened with an ivoca- tion by Rev. D. F. Rivers, pastor of the Berean Baptist. Church. Miss Kate Smith played “Bamboula,” an African compasition by Coleridge-Taylor. and Melville Charlton's “Poem Frotique.’ Miss Jewel Jenifer contrilnted trans: criptions of three of Coleridge-Taylor’s melodies, Adolph Hodge sang a com: position by H. AL William and one by J. Rosamond Johnson. Miss Ruth Weatherless was heard it transcriptions from S. Coleridge-Taylor and Nathaniel Det. Miss Grace Dagys played Dett’s “Magnolia Suite,” an: Fehx Weir pliyed Coleridge-Taylor’ “African: Dances.” Miss Elsie Hrewr rendered three compositions hy thy same author, and Miss Lilhan Evans~ sany Harry A, Williams’ “Love Rapture. Rubenstein’s “Staccato Etude” was in terpreted by Arthur Grant, and the Cun: servatery Male Quartet sang the “Bed: ouin Love Seng.” by Pinguti, ane “Mighty Lak a Rose.” by ¢Ethether Nevin.” The musical program was con cluded with Ant. Dvorak’s “New Work Symphony,” played by Arthur Grant first piano, and Gladys Fearing. seeane piano. é Prof. G. W. Cook. secretary of How: ard University, addressed the pupil + the conservatory. Then followed the Presentation of certificates be Dr. Hein: 'rich Hammer, director of the Washing: ton Symphony Orchestra. Louis Greg: ory awarded the scholarship, and a bene- diction was pronounced by Rev. D. F Rivers. ‘ | Arthur R. Grant’of Jacksonville, Fla. was awarded a certificate and graded certificates were presented to Miss Grace Rages of Hampton, Va., and Miss Kate Smith of Hot Springs, Ark. The following scholarships were awarded : Elementary, Miss Joberta Desmuke: in- termediate, Miss Ida My Lott; teacher's, Miss Josie Brown ; advance, sliss Gladys Fearnow ; harmony, Miss Marion Brown and voice, Miss Lillian Evans, PRIZE RING GOSSIP. HE sudden death of Luther Mc- Carty, the heavyweight, who fell dead in the ring at the. Burna Arena, Cagary, Alb., last Saturday while fighting Arthur Pelky, will give the calamity howlers an excellent opportu- nity to argue themselves hoarse on “The Evils of the Prize Ring” or some other similar subject. It is. fortunate that McCarty was not fighting a Negro when he fell dead. Even a number of our white sporting writers would be mak- ing a valiant attempt to show what an unpardorabic” creer -it.iato allow white and colored fighters to Theet--1 the pugilistic arena. | Being unable to claim the heavy- weight championship title, the writers of some of the daily papers have’ cre- ated a new classification in pugilism— the white heavyweight championship. ‘We next expect to sce other classifica- ‘tions, such as the white middleweight championship and white lightweight championship. | Hugh McIntosh, the retired fight pro- ‘moter of Australia, who arrived at San Francisco Tuesday, takes the same posi- tion as expressed in these columns some months ago regarding the heavyweight championship situation. Even with John- son railroaded to prison there are three colored fighters who can whip any white heavyweight alive. Discussing the subject Mr. McIntosh said : “Langford, McVey and Jeannette stand as a black barrier againgt all the white ‘heavies’ in sight. The only hope of a white champion is to pick out the likeliest candidate in sight and train him for a couple of years. Experience counts for a great deal in the ting. and the three Negroes | have named have been in the game for from ten to fifteen years, They know too much for any of the inexperienced white men. “As for Jack Johnson, he is def- nitely out of it, whatever the out- come of his legal difficulties. “Very likely by the time a danger- ous white man is developed, Langford, McVey, and Jeannette will) have. out- lived their fighting days. As_ things look now that sees the likelist path hs which a true champion of thee world will arrive.” The proof of the Pudding is the Eating fae h Mre % ¥ Has your Mutle been satisfactory Have your patrons been getting the worth of their moncy?

This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washimgton for the purpose of: studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of “Up From Slavery ;” and the great beauty of it is that it is filled ‘with such optimistic observations founded on solid fact and deductioe as “Bad as conditions are in some places, I don’t think that I visited any place where things are not better sow than they were some years ago." His journey was a journey among the saddest. spectacles in European life. As he says- “Some people will think, perhaps, that everything I was looking for was commonplace or bad, and that I avoided everything extraord> nary or worth while looking at. My only excuse is that I was in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst. J wa hunting for the man farthest down.” The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for hiv.

May 27.—Mrs. Alice Stewart left for Philadelphia to spend a month with her relatives. The Staunton baseball team came to Hot Springs Wednesday, May 21 and lined up against the Giants for two games. On Wednesday the Giants were shut out. Thursday's game was somewhat different. Owing to the inability of Geo. Lee, our star pitcher, to play, we were compelled to rely upon Borden, a new man. He pitched good ball and should have won by a small score, but the ragged playing of the Giants' infield caused them to go 12 hard-fought innings before they won by the score of 13-12. The Giants deserve some credit in that they were facing a well-balanced and well-trained team with the team of remarkable play together enough to understand each other. Hicks, who pitched for Staunton Thursday had speed to let and with his assortment of curves, proved too much for the Giants. The best work of the Giants was the folding of C. W. Wright, Jr., who made some remarkable running catches, and the hitting and all round playing of F. Lee, Hill, Gooch, Captain Bansford, Watkins and Hawkins. It was the hit fo F. Lee in the twelfth that won the game and sent the fans home rejoicing. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. O. Scott arrived Monday, May 19, from their home in Staunton and will spend the summer here. Mrs. M. A. Billyse has returned from Lynchburg, Va., where she attended the graduation of her sister, Miss L. K. Harper, from the Virginia Seminary. Some of the boys are leaving for their summer homes.

Mrs. Susie Noell left to visit her home in Staunton, Va. Mrs. Mamie Howell and Mrs. Robert Harris are on the sick list. YOUNGSTOWN O.

PROTEST AGAINST NEW SEGREGATION MEASURE In calling attention to the purpose of the gathering, Councilman Cummings said that his views expressed in his address to the City Council on March 28, 1911, when the West ordinance was being given its final reading had not changed a particle. He argued that the Curtis measure was not fair to the race, asserted that the colored people had an intense desire to better the irhome life and quoted his speech before the City Council two years ago. The Rev. John A. Holmes declared the measure was unfair and urged that the race be given a square deal. He asserted that while the race had produced no anarchists, blackhanders or nihilists that discriminatory laws may have a tendency to produce such. Mrs. Emma J. Truxon, in an cloquent appeal, asserted that there was no need for this kind of legislation and averred that property values in neighborhoods where the race had gone had generally increased, and in some instances had doubled in value. She declared that heta dvocates of such legislation were actuated solely on the ground of color. She told the committee that such measures made the white people treat the race with contempt, citing the fact that a white man had deliberately spit in her face while she was reading a book on a Preston street car the day before. Dr. Edward Short told the committee that the health of the colored people who lived in good houses on the large streets was decidedly better than those who dwelt in alleys and that sanitary quarters were a boon to the whole population. C. C. Fitzgerald, the lawyer, declared that his experience in buying property for clients had taught him that property values had generally increased where colored people bought real estate. He said that the records of the Appeal Tax Court would show that there had been a general increase in the assessments of property in the best colored neighborhoods. Dr. Ernest Lyon declared that the measure was not designed to promote peace between the races as that obtained already. "Remember you are not dealing with aliens," he said, "ignorant of the spirit and purpose of American institutions. You are dealin with American citizens to the manor born, whose every interest is bound up with yours. You are dealing with American citizens who constitute the bone and sinew of the industries of this commonwealth, who labor for you and spend every dollar of their wages in the commercial life of this city. Other speakers were the Rev. W. Edward Williams, Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, E. B. Taylor the Rev. Dr. George F. Brugg and the Rev. Dr. A Brown. No action was taken on the measure by the committee, but it is thought the committee will make some recommendation Monday. in the aristocratic section of Beteawood Heights, Bound Brook, N.
