VOL. XXVI. No. 47. AN INDEPENDENT CHURCH WANTED Rev. Richard M. Bolden is Asked to Form New Connection RETURNS FROM ABROAD Former Pastor of Mother Zion Church Is Met at the Pier by Friends and Erstwhile Parishioners. WILL NOT GO TO YONKERS But Refuses to Talk About New Movement Until He Has Made Report to Bishop: When the Mourretania of the Cunard Line was warped into its dock at the foot of 14th street Friday, August 15, at noon, several scores of the friends and former parishioners of the Rev. Richard M. Bolden, former pastor of the Mother Zion A. M. E. Church, lined the pier and gave him an enthusiastic and hearty greeting. Mr. Bolden returned on the vessel from a trip covering practically all of the English and European continents. Mother Zion's former pastor was the accredited representative of the A. M. E. Zion connection at the World's Sunday School Congress held last month at Zurich, Switzerland, and while in Europe attending the convention took advantage of the opportunity and made a tour covering a number of the continental countries. He was away about a month. His homecoming had been anxiously awaited by his friends, as they wanted to ascertain his views on certain plans developed by them during his absence—plans which concern his and their future church activity. It is rumored that much dissatisfaction exists among certain of his former parishioners because of what they feel was unjust treatment accorded them by the bishops at the last session of the New York Conference held at Yonkers, N. Y. This dissatisfaction, it is said, is the cause of a feeling of resentment against the bishops and the confection, and this resentment, from all accounts, has been shown by a number of the people by their attitude toward the administration of affairs at Mother Zion. Former Member Active. It is said on good authority that weekly meetings have been held by a goodly number of persons who are dissatisfied and that plans have been broached which, if they meet the approval of Mr. Bolden, will mean the development of a work in which they believe he will have a greater scope for effective and useful effort than if he remains in the Zion connection. One influencing factor is said by these persons to be a feeling that Mr. Bolden's ability and aggressiveness have made him the subject of envy and jealousy in the connection and they have expressed the fear that if he remains under the authority of certain high officials it will mean his ultimate elimination as an influencing factor in the councils of the church. From the best information obtainable it is proposed by the promoters of this movement to establish an independent congregation along certain new and original lines. As was told in The Age shortly after Mr. Bolden left for Europe the supporters of the plan say that Mr. Bolden has advanced ideas about church polity and belief, and they believe that if he will make a public promulgation he will be able to secure the spiritual approval and support of many hundreds who are now connected with the established churches, but who are not in entire accord with their teachings. Those most active in the advancement of this proposition claim that the movement will have the moral and financial support necessary to its successful carrying out and that ample and commodious quarters will be easy to secure. Balden is Reticent. A representative of THE AGE met Mr. Bolden upon the arrival of the Mauritania and interviewed him on the subject. However, he refused to make any comment at all upon the matter other than to say that he was not familiar with the proposed plans of his friends. When he departed for Europe he advised his ex-parishioners to submit to the bishops' will and remain loyal to Mother Zion. He went to Europe as the credited representative of the bishops and it would be out of place for him to give consideration to any such plans as being projected until he has made his official report to the bishops. As to whether he would give serious consideration to the movement Mr. Bolden relied to say. An entire ignorance of what had been done and no opportunity to find out since arriving in New York would make it inadvisable for him to comment upon the matter. The welcome given Mr. Bolden upon arrival made one fact patent—that occupies a large place in the affection and esteem of many of his ex-parishioners. Some of the most prominent members of his late charge were at the pier, and when he had escaped from the rigorous formalities of the customs off- (Continued on page 7) INGRAM BESTS DAVIS Georgia Odd-Fellows Have Exciting Session at Savannah—At Election of Officers Ingram Forces Way in Every Instances Except One—Davis Only One to Get Elected on His Ticket. Special to THE NEW YORK AQR. SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 19.—The session of the District Grand Lodge, No. 18, G. U. O. O. F., held in St. Philip A. M. E. Church, Tuesday, August 12, was the scene of wild excitement from beginning to end. At one session police officers were stationed at the entrance and every man entering, delegate or officer, was searched first for concealed weapons. The administration of Benj. J. Davis, district grand secretary, was the groundwork of the trouble and the opening public meeting of welcome was turned into a meeting of denunciation of the manner in which the business of the order has been conducted for several years past. Davis had made a direct and bitter fight on B. S. Ingram, the grand master, and it had been determined by the Davis faction that Ingram should be ousted. Ingram's friends were as determined that it should not be done, and had gone to the State courts to enjoin the Davis side from carrying prosecution of Ingram to extremes. Wholesale charges of fraud, extravagance and of the officers being parasites were made by speakers on the Ingram side, and the members of the order shook their fists in each other's faces and uttered bitter threats. At many times during the session the presiding officer was unable to preserve order, the house remaining in disorder for five or ten minutes at a time. The grand master's address, in certain parts of which he denounced the attempts which had been made on his official life in the order, caused his opponents to start the disturbances anew. A heated controversy between the grand master and John McIntosh, principal of one Savannah's public schools, brought C. W. Cargo from the platform to face McIntosh and threaten to throw him from the meeting. A female member of the Household of Ruth rushed to the rescue of McIntosh, getting between him and Cargo. Pandemonium reigned for at least fifteen minutes. In the election of officers it soon became apparent that the Ingram forces had control of the session. Every motion put by, an Ingram supporter was carried, and the Ingram nominees for district grand master and deputy grand master were elected without opposition. The Ingram men were jubilant and, with reason, seemed to think that they were going to carry everything before them. Then came the election of district grand secretary. William Driskell, of Atlanta, a former staunch Davis man, was nominated by the Ingram forces to oppose Ben Davis for that office. The Driskell men demanded election by roll call. Then it became apparent that some kind of a compromise had been effected between Davis and Ingram, for it seemed from the developments that Ingram deliberately threw down the men supporting him. He ordered a viva vote vote, after a half hour's deliberation and if this was not satisfactory then a roll call would be had. Only about six hundred delegates were entitled to vote but when the question was put the audience of more than two thousand seemed to join in the response. It seemed evident that a roll call would have to be resorted to, but the Rev Wm. Decker Johnson, one of Davis' strongest supporters, made the announcement that the grand master declared Davis elected. Further progress in the election seemed to show that Davis, to save himself, had sacrificed all the rest of his ticket, for every office was filled with an Ingram man save the one held by Davis himself. Ingram could have secured entire control of Odd Fellows affairs in Georgia, but evidently his nerve forsook him at the crucial moment and he weakened. Davis, in control of the grand secretaryship, remains personally impregnable, and retains his autocratic sway over the subordinate lodges. Officers elected are as follows: B. S. Ingram, Macon, district grand master; J. M. Pitts, Brunswick, deputy grand master; B. J. Davis, Atlanta, grand secretary; J. C. Styles, Dawson, grand treasurer; Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, Savannah, grand medical examiner; E. J. Matthews, Dawson; M. B. Morton, Athens, and W. L. Hughes, Dublin, auditors; W. Decker Johnson, Plains, grand director. The next session of the grand lodge will be held in Athens in 1915. In the Household of Ruth all old officers were re-elected except Mrs. Lucile Dennis, who has been closely associated with Davis' office for a long time. GEN. "BOB" SMALLS IS SERIOUSLY ILL. Special in TWX New York Acr. BEAUFORT, S. C., Aug 19—Gen. Robert Smalls, until recently Collector of Customs of Beaufort, is reported seriously ill here with diabetes. His kidneys are said to be affected. Since June 15 Gen Smalls has been confined to his bed. He is steadily growing weaker. DISCRIMINATION IN SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Aug. 20. This city has become aroused over the discrimination that exists in the Y W. C. A. relative to young colored women becoming members. Several young women have made application for membership in the association, but have been refused each time on the ground of color. This situation is embarrassing to colored women, as it is a handicap to the moral and intellectual development of young women of the race. NAPIER THWARTS MALEVOLENT PLOT SCHEME DID NOT WORK A. E. Giddings of Oklahoma. Sent Female Representative of Local Photo Gallery to Jelly the Register. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C., August, 20. Since it has been known that the Wilson administration officially sanctions the "Jim Crowing" of colored clerks in the departments every effort is being made by those of the Vardaman-Tillman stripe to make a big hullaboo over white clerks working under Negroes. The latest piece of farce comedy was the attempt of one representing himself as A. E. Giddings of Oklahoma, who tride to get a picture of Register James C. Napier, surrounded by his force of white and colored clerks. The incident took place last week, a white woman representing a local photograph gallery undertaking to "pull off" the stunt for Giddings. However, as Mr. Napier quickly surmised the reason for the unusual demand for his photo, surrounded by his office force, Giddings to-day finds himself without the "prize" picture he is ambitious to get hold of. Mr. Napier, in speaking of the incident to an Aug. representative said: The Voice Over the Telephone. "On Wednesday last, the very pleasant voice of a lady called over the telephone and said she wanted the Register's Office. I told her that she had the right connection. She then said I wish to speak to the Register. All right, I said, go ahead. She repeated: I wish to speak to the Register in person. I said: you have the Register in person, go ahead. She then said: a gentleman, an employee of the United States Senate, has received a letter from A. E. Giddings of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, requesting that he secure the services of our photograph gallery and go to the Treasury Department and take your picture, surrounded by your force and also your desk in action. "I asked for what purpose it was to be used. She said that the gentleman had told them that it was for the use of the press. I replied that I was not inclined to such advertisement of myself and had no authority to order a picture taken of the employees in the office. She then requested that the firm be permitted to take my picture at my desk with my immediate assistants. I replied that I could not consent to the taking of my picture unless I knew positively all the purposes for which it was intended, and could not at this time give my consent for their artist to call." "I, thereupon, promised to call at the gallery and talk the matter over further with the proprietor. On Thursday, at about I o'clock, as I had not found time to go. I was again called by the lady in charge and was again asked whether I was ready fo. the taking of the picture. I said that I was not but that I would, within a short while, call and talk the matter over as I promised to do before. "As soon as convenient. I went and made inquiry as to the person making the request and the purpose for which the picture was to be used. I was told that A. E. Giddings had said I knew him well and would doubtless, when the request was made, be willing to grant his wish. After an effort, I found that I was unable to recall any acquaintance with such person as A. E. Giddings and to tdl the lady that while I did not wish to be captious about the matter I must decline to give my consent to the taking of the picture at this time; but, I said to her, you tell Mr. Giddings that if he wishes my picture the thing for him to do is to come to me himself or write me telling me what he wants, whereupon, I would consider his request, and if I deemed it a reasonable one, would grant it. "I said: You know from experience that I like to have my picture taken. Although, while I have great confidence in the judgment of my wife, I do not agree with her when she says I am good-looking enough to have it taken at any time. Ascertaine Identity of Giddings. "I, thereupon, left this photograph gallery, and went immediately back to my desk, where I found the American a newspaper published at Wagoner. Wagoner County, Okla. About the first thing on which my eyes fell was an article in which A. E. Giddings is described as a Negro hater from Oklahoma City, Okla. This article says he was in St. Louis, Mo. and was on his way home from the capitol city and stopped at Hotel Jefferson. Giddings has a photograph taken while in the Departments at Wabaspton, showing a Negro appointee at work in a Federal office, surrounded by white girls, the article related. "This article, to my mind, opens up the animus of this entire effort to secure my picture. Mr. Giddings had evidently made his boast in St. Louis that he had the picture offered to This boast having gotten to the press, and being fearful that he would be called upon to make good, he made this immediate and strenuous effort to se- NEGRO BUSINESS Russell THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1912. NEGI BUSIN Russell CAN'T TELL WHO'S WHO Denver Authorities Black Woman Who Married Coal Black Negro is White Samples of Her Blood to Be Submitted for Analysis Special to The New York Am DENVER, Col., Aug. 19—Declaring that she is an octooroon, and offering to submit samples of her blood for analysis to prove that she is a Negro, Mrs. Nora Harrington Frazier is fighting to be allowed to continue companionship with Frank Frazier, a coal black Negro to whom she was recently married. Blood will be drawn and analyzed in open court before Judge Benjamin F. Stapleton to her request is granted, and surgeons have said that they can tell on examination of the blood whether there is Negro blood in her veins or not. Ten days ago the couple applied at the marriage house Benjamin F. for a license but were refused on the ground that the woman was white. Attorney James A. Harris was called in by the woman and submitted her to tests that convinced the clerk she was colored. He had her bade her neck and he showed dark blotches of the root of hair on the back of her neck. Then he had Frazier press his fingers at the root of the nails; they turned black. He offered to have the clerk rub the spinal column of Mrs. Frazier, which he asserted would turn black, but the clerk was satisfied, the license was issued and the couple were married. Then the bride was arrested on the charge of miscegenation. If the blood test proves her contention she will go free. A fine or sentence is imposed in case of conviction. GIVES UP ALL FOR NEGRO Pretty Daughter of Wealthy White Farmer Marries Samuel De Frees Against the Wishes of Her Parente- nial to THE NEW JOURNAL ANN RINGWOOD, N. J., Aug. 20.—"We are not living together unlawfully. I am Samuel DeFrees' lawfully wedded wife." This statement was made to O. H. Roome, deputy sheriff, when he went to the home of Samuel DeFrees, a Negro, to serve a warrant sworn out by the father of Miss Gertrude Patterson, the pretty daughter of a wealthy white farmer of Monks, a town five miles from here, charging his daughter with unlawful cohabitation with Samuel DeFrees. The girl has been interested in DeFrees for some time and had disregarded all requests, orders and threats of her family to cease associating with him. She had expressed her intention of marrying him in defiance of the wishes of her father and family. His efforts unsuccessful, Mr. Patterson swore out the warrants for the arrest of the couple. When Roome went to arrest the man and woman he was met at the door by DeFrees and his white wife. They listened to the reading of the warrant and then Mrs. DeFrees exclaimed: "That warrant is a lie. We are not living together unlawfully. I am Samuel DeFrees' lawfully wedded wife." With this assertion she went to a bureau and produced a paper which proved to be a marriage certificate issued by a minister in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, which showed that a marriage ceremony had been performed between Samuel DeFrees and Miss Gertrude Patterson. Notwithstanding the marriage certificate, the officers took the couple to Midwale where they were arraigned before a justice of the peace, who committed them to the Passaic County jail at Paterson, where they were held all night. The certificate proving the falsity of the charge against them, they were released next day. The couple returned to Ringwood and are living with relatives of DeFrees. DeFrees is a man nearly six feet tall, slim and graceful, dark walnut color, hair slightly curly. Mrs DeFrees is one of the most comely women in the northern end of New Jersey and her father owns his farm, said to be worth at least $90,000 DeFrees was a sub-former in the Hewitt mines, at $2.50 per day, but since his return from Canada with his white wife the foreman has refused to give him back his job, waiting the return from Europe of Miss Sally Hewitt owner, with her sister, of the mines. RIDICULE "JIM CROWISM Cincinnati Times-Star Among Infuri- tial Newspapers to Protest Against Segregation of Negro Clerks by the United States. Government-Takes a Shirt at "The New Freedom." Special to THE NEW YORK AM: CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 19.—The fair- minded white newspapers of the country are showing that they are opposed to the "Jim Crow" administration at Wash- ington in no uncertain terms. The Cincinnati Times-Star, under the caption "The Administration's 'Jim Crow' Policy," speaks out as follows: The South is in the middle in Washington. Bills have been in- introduced to pension Confederate veterans. Members of President Wilson's cabinet have issued or- ders segregating the departmental Negro employees, creating "Jim Crow" quarters for them apart from their white associates. A. M. Patterson of Oklahoma, nominated for Register of the Treasury, a pos- ition held for decades by a Negro has requested the withdrawal of his nomination to congressional the Senate because of the intense opposition of men like Vardaman, Tilman and Hoke Smith Men and women in the employ of the Government have a right to be treated without distinction of race or color. To screen them from the sight of their fellow employees is an insult to them and their race. This contemptuous treatment of the Negro in departmental service has evenly divided with President Wilson's consent. The withdrawal of Mr. Patterson's name from the consideration of Southern senators was done with the President's sanction. Is this "The New Freedom?" Other daily papers are as equally satanic in ridiculing the "Jim Crow" policy inaugurated by the Wilson administration. WEARS SPLIT LEG TROUSERS ON BROADWAY. The French split-leg trousers have made an appearance in New York, and it was a natty young Negro business man of St. Louis, Mo., who put it all over the swell dressers of the great metropolis. Charles Q. Clark, of the Clark & Smith Co., Market and 23d streets, St. Louis, Mo., tailoring and gentlemen's furnishings, created a small-sized sensation on Broadway Monday morning when he leisurely strolled down that thoroughfare arrayed in a perfectly fitting Norfolk jacket of light brown worsted, with invisible stripes with dark brown silk clocks worked in the corners of ech pocket. The trousers were of the same material and no waistcoat was worn with the suit. Each trouser leg bottom had a split running up about three or four inches, and where the slit ended a dark brown silk clock, to match clock on coat pockets, was worked. The bottom hem was rounded, giving a V-shaped effect. White pumps and white silk socks emphasized the innovation. Mr. Clark is on a tour of the country with a view to finding a good location for a second store, and his visited San Francisco, Los Angeles, Indianapolis Chicago, Cleveland, and other points. He says his latest sartorial exemplification has attracted nowhere the attention given it in New York. PINCHBACK RESIGNS Ex-Gov. P. B. S.

Washington, president of the National Negro Business League, at the Academy of Music Wednesday evening: "This, the fourteenth meeting of the National Negro Business League, marks also the fifteenth anniversary of our freedom as a race. It is, then, both timely and fitting that this great gathering of the representatives of the backbone and progress of our race should be held in Philadelphia. It is most, appropriate that this meeting should take place after fifty years of freedom in the city where 137 years ago that immortal document, the Declaration of Independence, was issued. Whether the American Negro was meant at the time to be included within the scope and meaning of the words of the Declaration of Independence has been a debatable question. However, we decided, so mean as a race through this and similarganizations to make ourselves such a useful, and potent part of American citizenship that in all the future no one will dare question our right to-be included in any declaration that relates to any portion of the body politic. "During the fifty, years of our freedom we have been subjected to some pretty severe tests. First, there were not a few who raised the question as to whether or not the American Negro could survive in a state of freedom. We answer that question by showing that when freedom came to us we were 4,000,000 in number; now we have grown to over 10,000,000 free American citizens. This means that we have a population of American Negroes that is more than twice as large as the population of Australia, one and a half times as large as the whole population of Canada, and nearly twice as large as the combined population of Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark. These facts should put an end for all time to doubt about our ability to survive in a state of freedom. Negro Has Demonstrated Ability to Provide for Himself. "One other question was debated fifty years ago, and that was the question as to our ability to support ourselves from a physical and personal point of view. There were not a few who fifty years ago predicted that this newly freed race would become a perpetual burden upon the pocketbooks of the nation. It was freely predicted that we would neither feed, cloth nor shelter ourselves. Every year the American Congress is asked to appropriate between ten and twelve millions of dollars to provide gently in providing food clothes, and to carve about $300,000 American Indians. While this is true of the American Indian (and I have nothing but the highest respect for the Indians) ever since the days of Reconstruction the American Negro has not called upon Congress to appropriate a single dollar to be used in providing either clothes, shelter or food for our race. Absolutely in all these personal matters we have supported ourselves and mean to do so in all the future, and very solidly in any part of this country does one find a black hand reached from a corner of a building for any many personal charity. While fifty years ago, we have proven that we could derive from a physical point of view, and prove that we could not only support ourselves but contribute taxes from $700,000,000 worth of property toward the support of local, State and National government. Showm Capacity for Organization. "Within the fifty years of our freedom we have been subjected to a third test that is one of the conditions of growth and permanency under the condition of freedom. This third test embraces our ability to combine, to work in harness in the capacity of organized human beings. There can little civilization and little progress without the capacity and the willingness to work together in organized groups." Fifty years ago we had almost no experience in working together as organized groups. During the past half century we have proven our ability to organize. We now have 62 banks under the control of black organizations. Fifty years ago we had few religious The West View Cottage, Jamestown, R.I Nolera improvements, excellent table, farm products and pure spring water.

Now we have four great branches, to any nothing of smaller ones, having a total membership of 3,113,000 members or about 85 per cent of the race. "Our capacity to organise has been shown, too, in the case of the National Negro Business League with its numerous local branches, and more especially in the numerous secret and beneficial societies which have been organised and are being sustained by Negroes. A rough study indicates that there are over thirty of these organisations with distinct aims and purposes, and which exhibit similar sizes, wide, or National in their scope. A study of these organisations reveals the fact that they have a total membership of at least 3,000,000 persons. These figures take no account of the fact that not a few individuals belong to many different organizations. "So much for indications of progress in the past. What about the present, and our duty in the immediate future? Go Back to the Soil. "First and foremost, I call the attention of the race through this league to the fact that there are at least 200,000,000 acres of unused and unoccupied land in the Southern States. This means a territory as large as Australia, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. I am glad to say that we already own and occupy 20,000,000 acres, but this is only about two acres for each individual. All this means one thing: that the time has come when this Business League, and other organizations should send forth a voice which can be heard everywhere and can influence for a larger proportion of our race to leave the towns and cities and plant themselves in the country districts on the soil before it is too late. Verily it is true that here in the United States the words of the prophet of old are fulfilled, when he said there was a land awaiting the occupation of the people, that was flowing with mank and beast, all our case as a race, the male will come from our own Jersey cown and the female from our own well kept home. We tend to the male because he can be our everywhere instead of women 50,000,000 acres, we should within the next quarter of a century own 60,000,000 acres. To the man or the race who owns the soil all good things come in time. Let us leave the floating and often deceiving easy life of the cities and get on God's great earth. I want to see members of my race that are new in too large numbers flocking to the cities, join the great world movement back to the land, or, better still forward to the land. "While the millions of Negroes in the South are largely an ignorant people so far as letters are concerned, they are not as a rule a degraded people. Some of the finest specimens of physical and moral manhood to be found anywhere in the world can be found among the country people of our race. There is a vast difference between ignorance and degradation. "In order to get ourselves planted on the soil, for a season we shall have to forbear the enjoyment of some of the things that make life inviting in the cities. In the cities it is with our race in a large measure as with others in the same relative position of civilization. There is tremendous temptation in the cities for us to get the signs of civilization instead of the substance itself. In the city the temptation is to. get an automobile before we get a house, to get a dress suit before we get a bank account, to spend all that we have food and seas and little for old for those dependent upon us. In the city the temptation is to be dependent instead of independent, to let some one else think and plan for us instead of thinking and planning for ourselves. If any one doubts the truth of this statement, let him go through the streets of one of our Northern cities early in the morning and note the large number of colored (Continued on page 7) VAGE, Jamestown, R.I.

MEETING OF BUSINESS LEAGUE The National Negro Business League, in session at Philadelphia this week, in the thirteen years of its existence, has done a great and lasting work. It has carried forward grandly the business feature of the work mapped out for the race in the first meeting of the Afro-American League, at Chicago, in 1890, when the Negro had no business organization, few business enterprises of any kind, and little business inspiration and hope. The organization of the Business League at Boston, in 1900, and its annual meetings since, with the sympathetic co-operation of the colored newspapers, have given the business inspiration and hope the race so much needed, in so far that there have been constant growth and enlargement of business ventures in all directions, with promise of vastly greater growth and enlargement in the future upon the splendid foundation already made. Dr. Booker T. Washington has been president of the Business League continuously since its organization in 1900 and deserves, with his co-workers in the League, the thanks of the race, for the good and helpful work of keeping alive the movement for business growth and enlargement. GOVERNOR SULZER IM- PEACHED. The legislature of New York, for the first time in the history of the State, August 13, impenetrated William Sulzer as Governor for making false statements in his filed certificate of money received and expended in his campaign to be elected Governor, and the trial was set for September 18. It appears that Governor Sulzer declared in his filed statement that he received contribution of $5,460 and expended $7,724.09. It is alleged that he received contributions of $32,850 not accounted for in his filed statement and that they were used by him for speculative purposes in Wall street, all contrary to law and good morals. During the trial of the issues the theory is that Lieutenant-Governor Martin H. Glynn will act as Governor, but this may have to be determined by court proceedings. Governor Sulzer has refused to vacate his office. The added element of pathos to the tragedy is the statement that the checks unaccounted for were used in the manner alleged by Mrs. Sulzer, without the knowledge of her husband, and without wrongful intent, as knowing his unthrifty ways in money matters she sought to protect his interests. However this may be, there are no elements of tragedy lacking in the case of a good man come to grief and the disgrace that has come to New York State for the first time in the impeachment of its Chief Executive. Governor Sulzer has always been a Tammy Hall Democrat, and has been honored in many ways by it, including the nomination for Governor. After the election he had a disagreement with the Tammy Hall leaders, and the evidence upon which the impeachment is based was gathered and formulated in impeachment proceedings by Tammy Hall agencies. The claws of the Tiger are long and very sharp. We are now able to do in the United States so that when the democracy of every age imagined could be done, or should be done, we are able to reconstruct the human race, to make it what it is not, and is incapable of being made, something entirely new, unlike itself. King Solomon was a marked exception to the rule, bluntly declaring that "there is nothing new under the sun" most of the new things of his time, presumably, having taken up residence above the sun. There were exceptions, of course, who saw that the easiest way to kill a race, an individual unit of a race, or a nation, is to so hedge it about by laws as to leave the people no freedom to do things in the ordinary way. Congress and the forty-eighth State legislatures, and the hosts of municipal and country councils, great and small, are busy most of the year, making new laws, rules and regulations that restrict the freedom of individuals to do things, so that we cannot think, talk or work except as some law or rule specifies The newest thing to clamor for legalization is embodied in the word "eugenics," which means, or thinks it does, that only people fit mentally and physically shall be allowed to marry. Pennsylvania and Wisconsin now have such laws. People desiring to marry must submit to examination of their minds and bodies. If disease is found in either place the couple may not be able to secure a marriage license. In that case what will they do, abandon themselves to single blessedness or live together out of wedlock and face the scandal and possible imprisonment of it? It is difficult to say what two people will do who are denied the legal right to marry, but it is not hard to imagine, as they have been doing it ever since restrictions were placed upon such unions by family feuds, public clamor or legal enactments. The New York Evening Post has the following to say upon the subject: For what these facile race-breakers, human stud-farmers, and supermen cultivators have done is to violate the sense of the dignity of life and of the individual, the complex of tradition and sentiment and instinct rooted in the heart of man, the wisdom of civilization's experience. It has been hard to keep patient with these peculiarly offensive examples of the "forgawlaker" class, as H. G. Wells has called it. "For Gawd's sake, let's reconstruct the human type, just as we are, reconstructing, the art of bricklaying." To be sure, there has been no occasion for alarm. On might know that their aburd was a man, and that he had the higher sense that remote broad conditions of life. As embodied in a marriage license law like those of Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, eugenics cease to be a fantasy of magazine science and becomes an issue of distinct appeal to the minds and consciences or reasonable men. It may be said at once that there is little room for disagreement with the purposes of a law which sets out not to remodel the human race, but, by throwing certain safeguards to the legal relations of marriage, to prevent a great amount of human misery and social maladjustment. Law and public opinion against the marriage of colored and black people and black and white people are of like character as the mental and physical examination to determine fitness for the marriage relation, and have led to all sorts of mix-ups and hardships by those concerned. Take the case of Samuel De Frees and Miss Gertrude Patterson, of Monks, a town near Ringwood, New Jersey, a farming district, extensively reported in the New Jersey newspapers of August 10. The lady in the case is daughter of a rich white farmer. The man, the papers say, "except that his skin is of a dark walnut color, and his hair slightly curly, has no Negro characteristics. He would pass anywhere as a Spaniard or Italian. De Frees has been a sub-foreman on the Hewitt farm. The pair have been interested in each other for some time, although Father Patterson objected. Recently the pair slipped over into Canada and were married. When they returned to Monks, the father, who was unable to induce the wife to leave the husband, swore out a warrant for their arrest, for living together unlawfully." The young wife refuted this by producing the marriage certificate, but the two were arrested by the deputy sheriff and locked up in the Paterson jail until the next morning, when the charge having been proven false, they were discharged by the magistrate, who submitted them to the indignity. They should sue the county for false imprisonment. There is no separate marriage law in New Jersey. The magistrate who treats people like the De Frees as though there were one should be made to suffer for it. Moreover, the community and State whose public opinion allows and justifies such wrongs against a man and wife will be made to suffer for it as remorselessly as the slave masters of the South were punished before and during the slave war for the crime of raping their slave women, and as they are now being, and will continue to be, punished for denying and persecuting their sons and daughters by their slave women. It has been planted in black and mallet earth by white fathers with red blood and it cannot be washed out by water of tears in unjust laws nor wrath of disgraced fathers, who uncovered their "own nakedness" in the rape of their black slave women and their malatto daughters. Who sow in the dark are forced to reap vengeance in the light. The toll exacted by the spirit law has always been blood for blood. If it were otherwise the weak person, the weak race, would have no refuge to fly to in the present or the future from the greed and hate of the avaricious and the insolence and arrogance of the strong. The rule works even so as between person and person, but such seldom recognize their calamities as punishment for wrongdoing. Plenty of items like the following, taken from the Trenton Evening Times, appear in the daily newspapers in and about New York: Leah Julia, colored was in Police Court again today. She was released from jail a few weeks ago and at an early hour this morning, was caught by Patrolman Girton while carousing white men, who made their escape. After lecturing her, Judge Nair sentenced her to the workhouse for a half year. Leah may be a bad colored sort and got what she deserved, but was she any worse than the disorderly white men who helped her in "the carouse?" Why did the police allow the disorderly white men to escape while making a sure thing of capturing the disorderly Leah? Because they were white, and it would not look pleasant to white people to have it said that the white men and the colored woman were rounded up together in the dark and stood up together before the white magistrate in the light, charged with disorderly conduct. It was easier for the police to let the white scamps escape in the darkness than to make them line up with the colored scampes in the light. It looks that way. The police of New York City play the same unworthy trick as often as they can. Color cannot safely he made the test of citizenship in Christian nations, because "Brotherhood" and "their works" and lawful marriage are put as the tests by which they must rise or fall. They have not looked at it in this way, generally, because it has not been recalled to their remembrance as a spiritual fact in manifestation; now that the Christian nations are beginning to draw the color line everywhere and to draw it with the high and lofty hand of the Master, the Lord of all. It is our business to invoke the truth of it, that "God shall enlarge Japhet," and not that Joseph's lost inheritance shall be his. Far from it. The white man is only the steward of the inheritance from Ham to Shem and from Shem to Japhet. The human race has been reconstructed in the past by bringing the four branches of them together once in one of three of six or seven thousand years, when the fittest of them, the most acceptable of them, have been separated from the others and left to work out their record of works. The last to receive it were the Gentiles of Japheth the Elder, to whom it was fetched over from Ham of Shem by Paul of Benjamin. But, now, 1843 years after he did it, where are any people known as Gentiles or Japhetes? There are none. They have all become again as one in blood and spirit as they were when gathered at the Flood and scattered at the Tower of Babel. Now they are gathered again in the countries of America, with the Negro and Latin races the unknown factors. The cross between them and the English races of the West will determine the fate of the human race, as to whether it will perpetuate itself by their good works or destroy itself by their bad works. How will they work it out. They shall see when the work has been completed, as it was in the case of Carthage, Athens, Sparta and Rome, which devoured each other by one, so that in their end nothing but the shadow of their former strength and glory remained. Here in the United States are gathered together the remnants of some of the primate four races of Noah, with the white race, the English language and the borrowed religion of Ham and Shem, in the ascendency. They will be weighed in the balance not by their race or color but by their works of Christian brotherhood in the home, the church, the State and the nation. The Negro is the weakest link in the national chain of citizenship, as the Jew has been in Europe since the introduction of Christianity. He cannot be crucified by law and public opinion without destroying the whole chain. He is not only a man and brother; he is also a citizen, and no "stranger within the gate." The New Jersey Emancipation Commission finds itself short some $7,800 of the $20,000 appropriation made March 27, 1912, being the unexended balance of $10,000 for that year, and although it asked the legislature last year and the special session just closed to reappropriate the money, it failed to do so. The Commission was not able to organ- size for effective work before September 15, 1912, because of the delay of the Civil Service Commission in designating the chief organizer and his staff from its eligible list. It is on this account that only $2,160.97 of the $10,000 available for 1912 was expended. Despite the unfortunate curtailment of its funds, Chief Organizer Solomon Porter Hood of the Commission and his assistants have worked like heavens, got expanded the educational program and made a comprehensive study program for the display to be held at Atlantic City, October 6 to 12. The Commission has made a special effort to find out what the colored people of New Jersey have done in the past fifty years and what they are doing now, and to secure photographic and other evidences of the facts for final exhibition. Dr. Hood and his associates deserve much credit for the good work they have done, with inadequate money, and with the outside opposition they have had, which, instead, should have been co-operation. It is much to be desired that the experience our men have had in managing the emancipation celebrations will teach them these two truths, that unless they know what they want of the public and ask for it in the proper way they will not get it, and that after they have got it if they do not work together as one man to accomplish the work specifically defined by law to be done, they will forfeit the public confidence and be unable to get any public thing when they ask for it. CHOCTAW INDIAN CONFIRMED The ways of the American white man are becoming more mysterious and confusing to him than they are to us. He has done many things in the past thirty years to injure himself and/weaken the nation which his grandfathers would have laughed out of court as impossibilities; things such as only people bewitched or lunatical would do. The national madness began with the "crown of thorns and cross of gold" harangue delivered by Mr. William Jennings Bryan, before the Democratic convention, in Chicago, in 1896, and it has grown more and more tense with the years, and was never tense than now. Government by Faddism—refer everything; recall everything—has become a national craze. In 1907 we took "In God we trust" off "the dollar or the Daddies" and in 1913 we have taken the Goddess of Liberty off the nickel and put a Big Indian in her place with a Big Buffalo on the reverse side to back him up. The buffalo and the Indian have vanished from the life of the United States, in which they were always parisitical and disturbing elements, to be found now only in isolated and infected spots like Oklahoma, "No Man's Land," while the Goddess of Liberty has gone back to the clouds where she came from, refusing even to smile in the statue of her, made by Bartbold, standing on Bedloe's Island, at the entrance of New York harbor. Her light is dim and flickering and she has grown black and weather beaten, like American public opinion. We should not be surprised, perhaps, that the Democratic Senate has promptly confirmed the nomination of Cabe E. Parker of Oklahoma, a full-blooded Cloctaw Indian, to succeed Mr. James C. Napier of Tennessee to be Register of the Treasury and whose appointment we chronied in THE AGE last week. It is in keeping with Democratic stupidity to accept the dead Indian race with no votes and to reject the live Negro race with many votes; to accept the dead race that contributed nothing to American civilization and to reject the live Negro race that has been and is a part of all of it that has been and is. THE SOUTH PASSING TO STRANGERS. The Jews and other aliens are fast getting control of Southern merchandising, farming and banking interests. This fact is disclosed in the passing away of the familiar names of the old days, except in politics, and the appearance of new and alien names. Take the names of the Southern Travelers' Association, 1,000 of whom, with their wives and daughters, visited New York last week, as a sign, as follows: George F. Daniels, president of the association; first vice president, Beinberg; second vice president, A. A. Peeler; third vice president, Hetman Schooke; secretary, James E. Bouder; treasurer, Ralph M. Neuburger and directors, Harry S. Aaarons, Emanuel Goodhelp, Karl Marx, Gus Lebolt, Charles F. Young, Frank Wolff and B. J. Lommerkh. Daniels and Young are the only old Southern names in the list. While the old Southerners are looking after the political end the Jews, Negroes and aliens in increasing numbers are looking after the merchandising, farming and banking interests—the things that take not wings and fly away. The time will come when the sons of the old slave masters will be strangers and outcasts in the land of the South, and strangers will rule where they now misrule. The Jews invaded the Southern States soon after the war with their merchandise in packs on their backs, and began to open stores in the cities, towns and crossroads as fast as their wholesale Jewish merchant connections in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York could ship them the goods they ordered. They are still at it. The writer was a store boy for the Benjamin Fieismans, in Marianna, Florida, forty-five years ago. The Ku-Klux killed both the brothers and burned their store, because they got most of the Negro trade, but other Jews came and planted stores thereabouts and are still doing it. The Jewish merchants of the South the more bureaucracy with the white natives, and they do not bother with politics obviously, while voting with the Democracy as a matter of policy, if not of principle. They attend strictly to the business of trade and barter, and try to be friendly with everybody. They have been from the first, and still are, very helpful to the colored people, especially in the farming districts, and have helped and are helping thousands of colored farmers to "get by" from crop to crop. This is all the more significant of future conditions in the South when the fact is considered that while the colored people are being taught in directions to stick to the land and own farm lands, the young white men are going in steady streams to the cities and towns in search of easier work and more quickly made fortunes than country life and farming occupations offer them. The Jewish merchant and Negro farmer are, consequently, steadily increasing in accumulated capital and land ownership, while the native Southern whites are taking up politics and the professions for occupation, distinction and profit. The future has much to make plain which the present conceals for the Jew and the Negro. TROTTER DEFINES POSITION. 21 Cornish, Boston, Mass. 22 Cornish, Boston, Mass. To the Editor of The Age: Before I received a copy by mail, as I was going to press with the Guardian, I noticed your "open letter" to me and others, asking whether I am opposed to color segregation by the Federal Government from me copies of a petition to the President against this segregation before your paper went to press this week and were then aware I was asking the colored editors of the country to publish it for signature (I regret you did not do so this week). It seems hardly fair for you to include me in your open letter. This is also the reason the Guardian is repeatedly deprecated this very segregation in the last two months. Furthermore last week in the Guardian I published the following personal protest of mine to Postmaster General Burleson. Dear Sir: The newspapers report that a railway office post clerk will present a hold request and dastardly petition to you as Postmaster General of the United States to sign a memorandum of agreement. The name of my father who stood up for the National Democracy thirty years ago, and whose record you know, and whose son he taught to put faith in the same party, will be sent to you to help to turn a deaf ear to this audacious presumption, that because you are a son of the South you will draw a race line between you and the Federal service. I beseech you to indignantly rebuke a government employee for the audacity to demand action by the Federal government to insult and humiliate for race fellow employees who do not contuse government business so good that you Sincerely, earnestly and aspectfully yours, (Signed) WM. MONROE TROTTER. I trust this will answer your question and that you will give my reply the same publicity you gave your answer to the press, because I did not give my opportunity to get it in the same issue of your paper as your open letter, as you evidently did for Bishop Walters. I agree with you that color segregation goes beyond all party lines an issue. I am willing and desire that all colored men, regardless of party make a united protest by a petition and trust you will use your columns toavel the names to the petition presented through the National Independent Political League, which is a body that supported President Wilson. Yours for freedom and against segregation. (Signed) WM. MONROE TROTTER. BOSTON. MASS.

Thompson, New Castle avenue, left last Wednesday for a two weeks' visit to New Haven, Conn. Visit to Industrial School Farm. An interesting place to visit is the Indian Head farm of the Howard Orphanage and Industrial School. It has 572 acres, a goodly portion of which is under cultivation, producing all sorts of vegetables, fruits, hay, wheat, alfalfa, offer of various kinds. The boys of the eye of Superintendent Odon and his able assistants, Mr. Knight and Mr. Christian, are responsible for the products. Mr. Peniston has been at the farm eleven years, acting as assistant superintendent, caring for the live stock, horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, pigs, chickens and ducks. Mr. Knight, recently from Barbados is more than what might be termed a general utility man. Sunday morning he was drilling nearly a hundred ladies preparatory to their march to Sunday School. They were a fine looking lot of well-kept manly little fellows, with their regulation uniform of blue blouses and black trousers. Though, without music, they marched with a precision. Mr. Knight is a shoemaker by trade but he also made mattresses, tined roofs and painted any number of out houses, railings, fences, cow barns and stables inside and out, pig stys and anything else that needed a coat of paint. With the assistance of Mr. Christian he put together and painted an engine that was thought to be only fit for the scrap heap he made look new and now it is operating a thrilling maid. The farm is equipped with concrete floors in cow barns and horse stables; the hog pens or big stys are built of plained boards with partitions separating each lot and a concrete platform in front. In the dairy butter is made, milk cooled by machinery, cream separated from the milk and butter made into prints. A visit to one of the girls' cottages in the absence of the house mother (most of whom are away on vacation) brought a cordial reception from Mrs Sterritt, who showed every part from the cellar to the attic, even her own tidy quarters. These cottages cost $7000 apiece. Seven are finished and two more are to be constructed. Each contains a reception room, dining room, laundry, kitchen, pantry, dormitories, bath rooms, the house mother's suite and bath, a fine cellar with concrete floor, used in stormy weather as a playground for the children, besides spare rooms, the house mother's and ward robes. The house two done by the girls would do credit to some of more years; the windows and floors are kept in a number one condition. On Mrs. Gordon's returning from morning service with the girls was a gracious hostess at dinner. A country meal of farm product was served. Mr. Dieusstag, chief clerk of the children's Court of New York County, and family were present. Mr. Dieusstag for the past fifteen years has handled ward of 25,000 children each year. The institution, as he stared, is one of the racy should be proud, it can be as a monument. The responsibility is many and the work should receive tical encouragement. Supt. and Mrs. Gordon will welcome all who pay them a welcome cost of maintaining an institution proportion is enormous. The children disposed couldn't contribute to worthy undertaking. IN A BLAZE OF GLORY. A BIG UNDERTAKING. ON Friday evening, August 15, at the Howard Theatre, Washington, D. C., the most important tour, as well as the most successful from an artistic and financial standpoint, ever undertaken by an unorganised company of colored theatrical folk, came to an end. The tour, which was given under the direction of The Frogs, was a suspendous undertaking, involving the expenditure of hundreds of dollars. A company, made up of Frogs, Frogeses and Tadpoles, fifty in number, traveled in two special Fullman cars, enjoying every convenience. The personnel of the company that took the trip, visiting Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond and Washington, D.C., was somewhat changed from that which appeared at Manhattan Casino Monday evening, August 11. Bert A. Williams and S. H. Dudley helped to make the traveling aggregation a representative one by their presence, but Aida Overton Walker was among those who found it inconvenient to take the trip. When the curtain went up Tuesday evening at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, the performers were surprised to find such a large audience. The Frogs had had but a few days to advertise the performance, and it was an agreeable surprise for them to observe the goodly number on hand. And the show evidently pleased, for the residents of the City of Brotherly Love were unstinted in their applause. In Baltimore, Wednesday evening, the company appeared at the Lyric Theatre to a fair-sized audience and was enthusiastically received. The Frogs feel that an explanation is due the colored citizens of Baltimore for the crude construction of an advertisement appearing in one of the daily papers of that city. As but little time was had to advertise the visit of The Frogs to Baltimore the work of doing the publicity work in the white papers was assigned to a white theatrical messenger. In his desire to secure a large crowd and assure the large theatregoers that they, too, would be permitted to attend the performance, he caused to be inserted in an advertisement that special sections would be reserved for white people. Although the manager meant well he couched his language in a manner calculated to arouse the ire of some of the colored citizens who should not be blamed, however, for taking exceptions to the advertisement, as they are industriously engaged in fighting all movements to segregate the races. The Frogs fully realize that it is upon the members of the race that they must chiefly rely for patronage, and deeply regret that the incident occurred, as no organization in the country is more insistent that there be no discrimination on account of color. Arrangements had been originally made for the Frogs to give a performance in Richmond at the Hippodrome; but the advance demand for seats was so great that the City Auditorium, a huge structure, was substituted. While the citizens were hospitable in other cities, it was in Richmond where the local people outid themselves in entertaining the visitors. During the day members of the company were provided with automobiles and given an opportunity to see the show places of Richmond. Thursday evening, after the performance, the male members of the company were royally entertained by the leading social club of the city; and through the courtesy of John Mitchell, Jr., a dance was given on the roof garden of the Mechanics Savings Bank. This bank is a credit to the race and the New Yorkers who were escorted through the institution found much to enthuse over. Richmond, Va., is regarded strictly as a southern city, but at the City Auditorium last Thursday evening several traditions were broken. For the first time in the history of the place colored men stood in the boxoffice and helped the white attaches sell tickets to colored and white playgoers alike. Colored men also stood at the doors and helped take tickets. So busy were the white and colored men in the boxoffice and at the doors that they forgot about the race problem. Although the segregation of the races is vigorously enforced in Richmond, so many white people attended the performance that the section reserved for them became overcrowded and many sat with the colored people—a condition which has never heretofore prevailed in that city. Richmond also won the blue ribbon for attendance. There was a large outpouring of colored and white citizens. Thursday afternoon the members of the company were the principals in a parade, some of them riding in automobiles and others in carriages. The Howard Theatre was a beehive of activity Friday evening. Several days before all the seats had been sold and when the doors were opened Friday evening, Manager Thomas had nothing but standing room to exchange for cash. The rush for standing room ticketing was as tempestuous as the stormy scenes attending the opening of a free lunch counter around about noon hour. Never before in the history of the house had such a mass of humanity packed the theatre. In Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond and Washington the playgoers saw Bert A. Williams and S. H. Dudley in the side-splitting after piece—"They Came Back" which was on the program at the Manhattan Casino, but was not presented, owing to the lateness of the hour. Allie Gillam, Jesse A. Shipp, Charles L. Gilpin and Maggie Davis were also in the cast. Messrs. Williams and Dudley also closed the minstrel first part in their song and dance, the latter hitting the bull's eye. The principal solosists in the minstrel first part were Henry troy, who said, "Consolation" and "Lie Gor" as who rendered "To Have," to Hold, "I Love." Then these were Mily Harper, Alley Gilman, Harrison Stp-ert, "Bub" Kelley, Wooly Jenkins and others. Jessie A. Shipp were interlocutor. In the ollo appeared Edgar Cosmos and Cecil Mann, Billy Robinson (Snowbird), Harper & Gillam, Harrison Stewart and "Vl," Kiel & Catlin and members of the Negro Players in a dancing act. Those participating were Henry S. Creamer, Ruth Cherry, Edna Morton, Edna Scottron, Jessie Ellis, Beulah Bishop, Goldie Cisco, Madeleine Quintana, Robert Murray, William Kelley, Howard Berry, Harold Parker, Cassio Norwood, Andrew Bishop and John Peterson. In each of the cities James R. Europe's Exclusive Orchestra, James Reese Europe, director, furnished the music. The New York musicians were applauded liberally everywhere. In the orchestra were George Smith, Tracey Cooper, George Waters, Crickett, Smith, Edgar Campbell, George Fairfax, Chandler Ford, George De Leon, Walter Scott, Leonard Smith and Dennis Johnson. The executive staff was composed of Frogs Sam Corker, Jr., R. C. McPherson, and Lester A. Walters; and, Menars, Rufie Nelson, Clarence Logan, Charlie Parker and W. Dean. The company reached New York Saturday morning, completing a history-making trip which towers above all others in the annuals of colored theatricals. A SOUTHERN VIEW In the Richmond Times-Dispatch Douglas Gordon commented on the appearance of The Frogs at the City Auditorium, Richmond, in part as follows: "For a considerable number of years we have been under impression that there's nothing about the possibilities that lie in ragtime singing and dancing. We were wrong; we knew nothing about the subject until last night, when an organization of Negroes called The Frogs enlightened us. "Before an extremely large audience in the City Auditorium, one whole section of which was reserved for whites, and, by the same token, filled by them, while almost all of the other 3,000 seats in the building were occupied by the best element of the best coloured people in this village, the most humiliating troupe of men and women gave a performance that was genuinely 'not-worthy in many respects. "In the first place it was absolutely clean, literally clean. Think of being able to say that of our minstrel shows. Secondly, it was hilariously amusing, one of the funniest, cleverest ever seen in many a day, and, finally, it was at times thoroughly artistic—and the word is used adversely. Also, while it may not be incumbent upon a reviewer of a performance to speak of the audience, it is impossible to refrain from hoping that some day the Academy will house an audience for a reviewer who will conduct itself with such perfected skill that which filled the Auditorium last night." After speaking of the various acts, the reviewer concludes by saying: "And through it all, the best minstrel orchestra that has been heard here in my day played on—just played on—the conductor proving what may be accomplished with an orchestra as an accompanying instrument."

CRESCENT THEATRE Manager Ostreicher of the Crescent Theatre is one of the few theatrical managers in these parts who are in smiles during the month of August; for although many of the theatres are closed and others are doing a poor business the majority of his patrons seem to pay regular visits to the Crescent even though we are having a la tabaco MURIEL RINGGOLD, Comedienne Who is in a claas by herself. weather. Williams & Mack, the long and short of it, ought to strangle and bury some of their jokes. Particularly the one about the "Neg-rose" smelling. No coloured manager with any self-respect will allow this team to pull off such "bum comedy." It is bad enough for white teams to ridicule the race. Chintz and Ella Moore close fairly strong, but they have a weak opening. A lively opening number is needed. Ruth S. Reed, who has a sweet little voice, and who plays a cornet, opened the bill. LAFAYETTE THEATRE Spissel Brothers and Mack, acrobatic comedians, carried off the applause honors the first half of the week in their sketch, "Fun in a Kitchen." They do some excellent tumbling, and while their comedy is of the knockabout variety they pleased the patrons immensely. The Brittons, a clever white team, with quite a supply of original and witty jokes, belong on the big time. The male member of the team ought to take himself more seriously in the vocal line. He seems to have a good voice; if he hiah, he should use it to better advantage. Many of the act's best jokes seemed to go skyward. "The Rehearsal" was the title of a skit presented by Brown's Stock Company. This is the second week of the company at the Lafayette. Several well-known comedians are connected with the act. Chester and Kay do a messenger boy act. There is too much talk. Harry Reed and "Brownie" entertained in souls and dialogues. DUDLEY RETURNS TO STAGE Owing to the enlargement of the S. H. Dudley circuit of the theatres, it has been the intention all along of Mr. Dudley to retire from the stage and devote his sole efforts to furthering the interests of his chain of theatres. Numerous articles have been written regarding the decline of the first class colored amusement enterprises and the gradual elimination of that class of work from the theatrical field. This contemplated condition of affairs has caused more or less controversy and letters of protestation have been received from public spirited citizens who resent the elimination of what has always been an enjoyable form of amusement. The departure of Bert A. Williams from the colored amusement field and his anexation to the Ziefeld forces, has left Mr. Dudley in sole possession of the colored comedy field, thus placing him in the position of the only surviving colored comedian visiting the larger cities. Mr. Dudley has been appealed to by his many friends and admirers to the extent that he has consented to appear for another season, visiting the larger cities only. After several conferences with his manager in New York, during the past week, arrangements were finally consummated for the sending forth of the Sart Set Company on tour next season and it was agreed that only the very best talent available would be engaged. Among the scenarios submitted the one entitled "The Isle of Nowhere" was finally decided upon as it gives Mr. Dudley quite a comedy scope and embraces a number of other excellent roles for his associate Smart Set players. The comedy will go into rehearsals shortly. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT May Allow White and Colored to Box It is reported that the State Athletic Commission is considering the advisability of rescinding the rule prohibiting bouts between colored and white boxers. The boxing commission has never been taken seriously, anyway, in its decree that white and colored men should not meet in the rin gin this State. Had the courts been appealed to for a decision the majority of devotees of pugilism believe the ruling of the commission would have been declared illegal. It is said that the commission passed the rule to keep Johnson fro meeting a white heavyweight in a fistic contest in New York because his moral status was objectionable—a childish, flimsy excuse in view of the fact that prize fighters are not supposed to be as circum-spective as a church deacon. Stranger that serious consideration has never been given to the moral status of white nugilists. After Sheriff Julius Harthurger had attended a boxing contest one evening last week at the St. Nicholas-Rink, between a Chinaman and a white American, he expressed himself on the drawing of the color line by the commission as follows: "Last night I was at the St. Nicholas Association and saw a boxing contest between Ah Chung and Paddy. McCarthy, which was allowed by the Boxing Commission, but they do not allow any content between Negroes and whites. "Since the days when Abraham Lincoln insisted his proclamation of freedom there was to be no distinction as to American citizenship, but how the Boxing Commission can come to the conclusion that a Chinese, who is a nonvoter and a non-citizen should have preference over a citizen is one of the mysteries that runs through the labyrinth minds of commissioners. "As aberrit I would make on distinction as to color, and as boxing is legalized by the State I would be in favor allowing all representatives of the different nations on earth to be competitors before the public. "If the regulations were entirely under my supervision, the public would see in this country the best that brawn, muscle, and mentality could produce." Lincoln Giants in Financial Straits Lincoln Giants in Financial Strata. The Lincoln Giants are in the throes of financial troubles which may bring about a disruption of the club before the season comes to an end. It is said that many of the players have not been paid full salaries for weeks. Within the past month a number of judgments have been rendered against the McMahon Brothers, owners of the club, and it is said that the outlook is not very encouraging. The McMahon Brothers are interested in several ventures which have not turned out advantageously this summer. Besides being the owners of the Lincoln Giants they are fight promoters. While large crowds have attended the games at Olympic Field this summer, it is reported that much of the money made was used to pay other debts. John W. Connor, former owner of the Lincoln Giants, is said to have advanced money to several players on the Lincoln Giants this week. Nat Strong is reported to have also rendered financial aid. Lincoln and Royale Break Even. A large crowd greeted the Lincoln Giants at Olympic Field Sunday on their return from a successful tour of the Middle West. The Harlem team met the American Giants in a series of games in Chicago, winning the majority from "Rube" Foster's pets. For making such an enviable record while away from home the Lincoln Giants were presented with a large floral offering in the shape of a horseshoe by John W. Connor.

THE NEGRO IN ATHLETICS In commenting on the absence of the color line in athletics, Walker St. Denis writes in the New York Globe, as follows: One of the most notable developments in the athletic world of late is the manner in which the Nerro athletic team has become one of many other sports, track athletics offer the Nerro boy, poor as he may be, an equal chance to compete and become a champion, and the colored young men are certainly making good use of the opportunity. The greatest of present-day colored athletes is Howard P. Drew of the Springfield High School, who has twice won the 100-yard national championship, and of late has outclassed every spinner that he has met. But he is unfortunate breakdown Drew would have won at the Olympic race at Stockholm last summer. On the Olympic trip the late Mike Murphy made no secret of the fact that he regarded Drew as one of the greatest amateur sprinters he ever saw, and once Mike offered to bet 600 on Drew against Reggie Walker, the superstar of the 1980s. It's but a few days ago that Irving T. Howe, a Neroy boy from the English High School (Boston), ran away with the junior 220-yard championship at Chicago. A week previous to that Howe won the New England championship, at the same distance, beat the 200-yard champion, the Robinson, the crack Mercersburg Academy sprinter. Last year Howe ran in the Olympic tryout at Boston, finishing second in the 400-metre race, in which he forced D. B. Young of the Boston A. A. to heat 50 seconds. Howe in at least one runner, Dermitt College, fell and under Harry Hillman he should develop into a wonderful athlete. Here in New York we have any number of good colored boys who shine on the cinderpath. At the recent New York Athletic Club sports Jim Ravenell of the St. Christopher's A. C. gave the beat in the local dashers a beating in the 100-yard event through the 124-yard field and run through the field like a comet. A fortnight later Ravenell again scored a notable triumph—this time in the junior 100-yard championship at Fair Hills, N. J. WANTED FOR THE ONLY RECOGNIZED CITY ATTRRACTION S. H. DUDIFY and his SMART SET PLAYERS The best of everything in the movement line. Chorus singers Male and Female, only those with good voices. Address by letter only S. H. DUDIFY, 1953 Seventh Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. Another colored boy of rare promises on the local tracks is Bonaparte, the schoolboy who represents the Salem Crensest A. C. in open competition. Bonaparte easily won the P. S. A. L. C. in early competition, but he has been timed 22 1-5 seconds for that distance. Bonaparte has about everything a great sprinter should have. If he gets the right kind of handling, with not too much adulation, he'll make a filer sure. Harvard University has two great athletes in Theodore Cable, who has twice won the intercollegiate hammer-throwing title and is capable of doing 23 feet in the broad jump, and A. L. Jackson, who won points for the Crimson in the hurdle races this spring. Cable is a product of the late Bill Quinn's coaching, and is, for his weight men in competition, Cable is very fast in the circle, as his sprinting and jumping ability would indicate. Jackson has proven himself one of the best hurdlers in this country, his work in the dual meets in which the Harvard team took part in and won the national unstinted praise from all the athletic experts who saw these meetings. W. Granger of Dartmouth is still another fast colored boy in the colleges. Granger, who came from Barringer High School (Newark), is no John Paul Jones, who is a college student. When he best half-milers of Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania met last May, it was Granger's chest that hit the tape first. Granger has a record of 1:58 for the half-mile, and stands well in his studies, too. John Lyceum in Brooklyn has a clever colored athlete in H. B. Deamond. This rangy runner has pulled more than one race out of the fire for the Loughlins. Deamond runs the quarter-mile the best, and he is rated by Handicapper Obertubessing as 52. He won the Middle West has produced some good colored athletes, too. W. C. Holmes of Chicago won a place on the 1908 Olympic team in the standing high jump, while Cincinnati has a colored high school team. The indoor low hurdles with the best of them. The best received athletic performance of last winter's indoor season in New York was the effort of H. P. Drew. The crowd that was cheering at the Amateur Athletic Union meet in Madison Square Garden was so much impressed by Drew's marvellous ability to get under way fast that the athletic enthusiasts stood up as a man and cheered the colored dresses at the amateur dressroom—something that is rarely seen at an amateur athletic meet.
