CRITICISM MOVES U.S. OFFICIALS Give Out Statement That Segregation Movement Has Been Halted Correspondents of New England Papers Advised That Orders Had Been Issued Revoking "Jim Crow" Policy. John Shelton Williams and Others Not So Brazen and Open, But They Seek to "Jim Crow" Negro Charles Just the Same. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8.—So much criticism has been directed lately against the segregation of colored employees in the Governmental departments under the "New Freedom" Administration that John Skelton Williams, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and his allies have become necessarily alarmed. Williams is less brazen and open in his discriminatory tactics. He has embarrassed the Administration to such an extent that the Washington correspondents of New England papers have been prevailed upon to report that the segregation of colored clerks has been indiscontinued. Even the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, which has been strongly protested against "Jim Crowism" has been deceived by Williams and his accessories. In an editorial the Republican recently enthused as follows: It is good to hear from Washington that the forward movement deployed in the Government departments has been halted. Mr. McAdon, Secretary of the Treasury, and Postmasters/General Burleson have issued orders against it. That President Wilson had not been knowing to the proceedings is admitted by the Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser that he has taken into the situation. It will remain for those in authority to see to it that full obedience follows the orders that have been given. Wilson's Stand Amusing. men who have seen the editorial which an attempt is made to absolve Wilson from blame for the segregation of colored clerks have been unhappy to suppress a broad smile despite the gravity of the situation. Mobilized newspapers and politicians informed the President that the colored clerks in the various departments were being discriminated against. The consensus of opinion among the Negro citizens of the country is that while the apostle of "New Freedom" has shown an aggressive spirit and successfully fought out other issues, he has indulged the African dodger on the Negro question. Vardaman and other trebrands who have become disgustingly prominent in running the affairs of the Nation, seems to have made the President forget all about his promises of fair play. This John Skelton Williams has become as obnoxious an official as Vardaman and Tillman. He went into the Treasury Department with one aim—to humiliate the colored clerks. So eaten up is he with prejudice that he does not see any harm in the "Jim Crowing" of colored clerks. When a colored official complained about the new segregation policy to Williams the latter is reported as having remarked that segregation was too small a matter for the Negro to worry over. Although the "New Freedom" Administration is doing its best to create the impression that all segregation orders have been revoked, it can be said authoritatively that the "Jim Crow" idea is still foremost in the minds of some of the department heads. Only a few days ago fifteen of the oldest colored clerks in the Pension Office were summoned and asked if they were in favor of being segregated. To the credit of the clerks, every one answered in the negative. Officials Fear Congressional Inquiry. The Springfield Republican found reason to rejoice over the following article, which was sent to the Boston Advertiser News Washington correspondent: In consequence of public interest in New England and elsewhere, and the threat of a congressional inquiry, there has been an apparent rapid retreat among the zealots in the government departments seeking to segregate the Negro employees there. The movement to reject this became so marked and, additionally, no sagged the Negroes with threats of dismissal if they complained publicly that it got no momentum, but it has been checked and even retreated in response to public indignation. The negregation got most vogue in the Treasury and Post-office Departments and in the Bureau of Encriving and Printing. The negotiation took most annoying form and forced the colored employees. Where a single one was employed in a prison he or she was screened out. The incarceration was to shift FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL WANTS MORE MONEY Special to Time New York Am: -WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8.-Freedmen's Hospital has been taxed to its capacity during the last fiscal year, according to the report of Dr. W. A. Warfield, surgeon in chief, submitted to the Secretary of the Interior. At times the hospital was so full that only emergency cases could be taken. The District of Columbia, it is claimed, owes the hospital $82,419.47. The account has been running since July, 1900, according to the report. On this point the report has this to say: "Bills are rendered monthly to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, and they have always exceeded the appropriation because of the number of District-patients sent to the hospital. The hospital is badly in need of a building for pathological and research work. "This, says the report, "is of utmost importance, and should have first consideration as offering the only means for scientific study of disease and a full return for the money appropriated for this institution." It is estimated that this building will cost $25,000. A plan for increased salaries for employees also is contained in the report, as well as a request for inclosing the entire hospital grounds at an estimated cost of $12,000. During the year 2028 patients were received in the hospital, including 264 births, of which number 1,791 were District of Columbia cases, 1,246 United States and 171 pay; 213 patients were remaining in the hospital from the preceding year, who, with those admitted, made a total of 3,421 indoor patients under care; 3,230 were discharged from the hospital during the year, of whom 1,471 had recovered, 1,253 improved, 243 unimproved, 18 not treated and 245 died, leaving 191 in the hospital at the close of the year. Of this number, 93 were District of Columbia patients, 86 United States and 12 pay. CONCERN PLANS TO LESSEN RACE PREJUDICE The Hannibal Realty and Improvement Company of America, with a capital of $100,000, full paid and non-assessable, is the latest business enterprise which seeks the support of colored people. The officers of the company are: Rufus Lewis Perry, president; Albert A. Friedlander, secretary; Henry Hyams, Jr., treasurer; D. Macon Webster, chairman of the Board of Directors; Frank K. Nudetman, chairman of the Committee on Mortgages and Investment. The charter granted the company by the State is a most liberal one, permitting the concern to deal in real estate, to promote industrial enterprises, to build hotels and theatres. Special attention will be given to selling numbers of the race property in all sections of Greater New York. The corporation has opened its books for the sale of stock. The per value of each share is $10 and can be purchased on the installment plan by advancing $2 down and paying $1 monthly. The company has opened a suite of offices at 375 Fulton street. Brooklyn WIDESPREAD INTEREST IN THE DOUGLASS FUND. WASHINGTON, D. C. 081-75 The officials of the Douglas Memorial and Historical Association have expressed high appreciation of the service being rendered by THE ACE in assisting to raise the fund necessary to pay off the mortgage on the old Fredrick Douglas home and restore it to its former beauty. From the number of subscriptions received through THE ACE, and from the near and distant sections these contributions have come the far North, the far South, and the section between, the association has been convinced of the wide circulation and general influence of THE ACE. The association expresses the belief that were all Negro newspapers, and all Negro individuals and organizations to take the same commendable interest that THE AGE has, the necessary fund would be readily raised in a short time. The association very much appreciates the services and wide circulation and influence of THE AGE, and the officials here have so expressed themselves. LIBERIA GETS $80,000 FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES Special to The New York Times Washington, D. C., Oct. 8.—The American Colonization Society, the only private corporation in history that ever successfully established an independent nation, Tuesday paid over to its ward, Liberia, more than $60,000, the increment of an idle fund, for the education of the children of the Negro republic. The fund was the bequest of Carolina Donovan of Baltimore, devised twenty-seven years ago for this purpose, but it had not been possible to arrange for the proper disbursement of the interest. In addition to the $60,000 paid Tuesday to Consult-General Ernest Lyon of Liberia by Dr. Henry L. E. Johnson, president of the society, the annual interest on the fund hereafter will be used to aid American Negroes desirous of emigrating to Liberia. EXAMINING BOARD FOR NEGRO REGIMENT The following Board of Examiners has been appointed by the Governor to examine candidates for membership in the colored regiment, which is being organized under the direction of Maj. Charles W. Fillmore: Nathaniel D. Thurston, Col. Frank H. Norton, Col. George A. A. Wingate, Col. Lewis N. Spotenbury and Lieut. Col. W. S. Terrellby. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION POLITICAL POWER OPEN DOOR Russell THE NEW OPEN DOOR BOOK TO SOUTHERN DELEGATES EXPOSITION AT "PHILLY" WAS A DISMAL FAILURE Work of Carpenters Was the Feature of Pennsylvania Celebration BUT FEW EXHIBITS OF MERIT Promoters Failed to Give Citizens what They Wanted-Ignorance in Dealing With the Measures Shown. PHILADELPHIA, Va. Oct. 9—Your representative assigned to "Cover" the Emancipation Celebration had the deepest and most friendly interest in the Exposition recently held in the city of Philadelphia. In common with a good many Philadelphia people and friends of the race everywhere, I watched this venture with a great deal of interest. The doors of the exposition were thrown open several days ago. It is against my inclination to say anything that ever savors of adverse criticism when the least basis of commentation cannot be found, but in this case frankness is the best policy. I am not speaking because I feel unfriendly toward those at the head of the present exposition, but I want to be of service to those who make such an attempt in the future and speak in plain and unvarnished terms. The exhibit was a dismal, gloomy and disappointing failure and no honest person can use any other words in characterizing it. The very best that can be said in its favor is that some good carpenters' work was done in putting up such creditable buildings on so short a notice, but aside from this there is nothing that one could say that is favorable. There was practically nothing that could be classed as an exhibit and what little there was was not properly put up. The people in charge seemed to have had no conception of how to get up an exposition or how to deal with the masses of our people in a manner to secure their interest in obtaining exhibits and in attending expositions. The most successful and creditable thing on the inside of the buildings was the various sociological congresses, but what does a big speech amount to when the speaker has behind him and in front of him and on each side of him evidences of racial failure? A speech on such an occasion means little or nothing. Commissioners who came from afar to represent their respective states left Philadelphia in a buff, indignantly declaring that no arrangements had been made for their comfort. One commissioner who hailed from Minnesota complained to your representative that when he inquired of the heads if they had provided him with a stopping place, he received a reply in the negative. This commissioner also volunteered the information that he would have been charged admission to the exposition had he not registered a kick. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1913. NATIONAL ENTION TICAL VER OPEN DOOR I hope this exhibition of failure, right in the heart of the North, will go far to teach our race that in the future when we undertake anything that is to come before the public we should be very careful to see that everything is so planned as to bring about success and not failure. The State of Pennsylvania is one of rich material which could have been gotten together in a way that would have made an interesting and encouraging exposition; but while we have the most friendly feeling toward the managers and projectors, frankness and consideration for racial interest are to say that the expoition of what people had a right to expect it would be. I want to reiterate that the architects who drew the plans of the buildings and carpenters deserve a considerable credit for putting up some slightly structures within an incredibly short length of time. NEWPORT Y. M. C. A. DRAWS THE COLOR LINE NEWPORT, R. L. OCT. 7.—Much feeling is being shown here over a rule which has just gone into effect at the Vanderbilt Young Men's Christian Association barring Negroes from membership. The Young Men's Christian Association Building was financed a few years ago by Mr. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, in memory of his father, and is one of the handsomest in the city. Marcus Wheatland, son of Dr. M. F. Wheatland, has been denied a renewal of his membership. Another member, Andrew Jackson, has been reminded his membership dues and asked to resign. Both families are members of the Shiloh Baptist Church here, and their pastor, the Rev. H. N. Jeter, has interested himself in the case to the extent of making a formal protest to the president. This is another evidence of what This is another evidence of what Christianity means in the United States. SUSPENDED BY PASTOR WRITES OPEN LETTER. Special to TEXAS NEW YORK AG. JERSEY CITY, N. J., OCT. 8—J. T. Sockum, 49 Kearney avenue, one of Jersey City's leading coal and ice dealers, and for years one of the most prominent members of Bethel A. M. E. Church Oak street, the Rev. G. H. West, pastor up in arms because of the action of the quarterly conference of that church held September 26 presided over by the Rev. A. L. Murray, presiding elder which sustained the pastor's suspension of Mr. Sockum from his office as secretary of the board of trustees and as secretary of the church for alleged insularation. The pastor during the church service Sunday, August 17, requested Mr. Soakum to tender his reservation, but this request was refused after which the pastor publicly announced that Mr. Soakum was suspended. It is said that there has been friction between the pastor and Mr. Soakum who is also the president of the board of trustees; about the handling and accounting of moneys received by the church from collections, entertainments, the annual excursion, and other sources. As president of the trustee board Sockum was also a member of the banking committee and his signature was re- PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR HARLEM PLAYGROUND Site Is Bounded by 139th and 140th Streets and Lenox and 7th Avenues Now it Is Up to the Board of Estimate to Exchange Idle Land Owned by the City For Plot. The colored residents of Harlem are enthusiasts over the bright prospects of a playground being established in the district in the near future. From present indications the efforts which the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has been exerting for more than two years to provide adequate play space for the children of Harlem are likely to bear fruit. The historic Watt Homestead block, bounded by 139th and 140th streets, Lenox and Seventh avenues, has been chosen for the proposed site. Saturday afternoon thousands of children formed a line and signed a petition drawn up by Charles S. Stover, Commissioner of Parks, addressed to the Board of Estimate, requesting it to exchange idle land owned by the city in other sections for this plot, supposed to be worth $250,000. Two years ago Wm. J. Lee, Supervisor of the Bureau of Recreation of the Boroughs of Manhattan and Richmond, thought there was no need for a playground in this section, for on October 28 1911, he wrote to Eugene Kinckle Jones, Associate Director of the National League on Urban Condition Among Negroes, as follows: "You are quite mistaken as to this bairn having no playgrounds in neighborhoods that are inhabited by Negroes. . . . I have seen on a Saturday and Sunday afternoon at Jasper Oval over 1,000 Negro boys enjoying the games." On investigation it was found that colored boys did not attend this playground as Mr. Lee's report indicated. Frequently, on approaching the grounds the colored boys were forced to wait for long periods, pending the completion of a game previously started by white boys. This tended to discourage the colored lads. The advantage of the prospective new playground's location is evident. On two sides of the plot are colored residents. This renders it easy of access to the colored children and minimizes the problem of discipline. It is hoped that the colored people of Harlem will continue to file petitions with the Board of Estimate, and in the event the project is a reality, that they will encourage their children to take advantage of the recreational facilities afforded by this public playground. MINISTER'S MEETING. John M. Royall, candidate for alderman from the Twenty-first Assembly District of New York City, addressed the ministers of the Interdenominational Conference, and the audience which had assembled to hear John Purroy Mitchell at St. Mark's M. E. Church, Monday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by Dr. A. C. Powell at 1 o'clock, and while waiting for the coming of Mr. Mitchell the chairman called on Mr. Royall. Mr. Royall declared his candidacy was not the result of political ambition but came from a desire to unity and solidify the sentiment of drawing together the thirty thousand Negro voters of New York. He has watched the result of being tied to the tail end of the Democratic party, the Republican party and the Progressive party. Something ought to be done to corral the Negro voters of the city so their power would be felt. The Negro voters ought to be organized to help themselves and not to help any party. Right now, he declared, the black Republican voters of the Twenty-first Assembly District were not allowed to join the Republican Club of that district. He declared that the black man who loved his party more than his race was a fool. Reference was made to a report which was being circulated by his opponents that Tammany Hall was backing Royall's candidacy. Mr. Royall declared with emphasis and force that every dollar spent in his campaign was the result of his own efforts and unless his fellow-citizens contributed to the campaign, every dollar to be spent would come from the sweat of his own brow. Mr. Royall spoke of the organization which would work 365 days in the year for cause of the Negro voter. Parties have kept the race divided but with united front the Negro voters of New York will become a power. To secure a Negro alderman will simply be the entering wedge. That position will give the race a spokesman in the councils of the city who can speak for the race and contend for representation. Though no formal vote was taken by the conference, the hearty applause which punctuated the speech of Mr. Royall, and the ovation given him before and after his speech, indicated clearly that his candidacy had the support and endorsement of the body. TAYLOR BARRED FROM COMMISSION MEETING The Emancipation Commission, on Monday night, had to move from its headquarters on Seventh avenue, it is reported, to the Democratic Club, 130th street, in order to hold a meeting. The Rev. J. Henry Taylor, it appears, is in bad with his fellow commissioners, as they charge him with making public the secret workings of the commission. So to prevent him from coming into possession of their plans, it was first moved and seconded in their meeting Friday night to expel him from the commission. This, it is said, was by suggestion of the chairman, Robert N. Wood, and the suggestion met the seconding approval of Prof. W. E. B. DuBois. This motion was afterwards rescinded, that it might not appear on the minutes, but the presence of the Rev. Mr. Taylor in the meeting was still to be guarded against. So the report has it that the commission left its headquarters and wended its way to the rooms of the Democratic Club, where a meeting was held from which their recalcitrant fellow commissioner was barred. Members of the commission present at this meeting were said to be W. F. R. DuBois, Robert N. Wood, James D. Carr, J. R. Hilery and J. M. Anderson. WHOSE STATUES WILL BE CHOSEN FOR TEMPLE IN the selection of representatives American Negroes whose statues would be placed in the "Temple of Art" at the Emancipation celebration, report has it that the commissioners had considerable trouble in coming to an agreement concerning the men who would be selected for the honor. Among the names said to have been considered were those of Booker T. Washington, Bishop Alexander Walters, Fred R. Moore and T. Thomas Fortune, as men who have accomplished something for the race. It is alleged that one of the commissioners objected to the selection of Mr. Moore for "personal and political reasons"; objection was made to Mr. Fortune that he was a drunkard; Bishop Walters, it is said, was classified as "a hat" while Booker Washington was not to be considered because he "was only a beggar". It will be interesting to note the qualifications of the men finally selected. In this connection, the latest report is that Robert N. Wood is designing a larger medallion of himself and Charles E. Murphy, the Tammany leader, for the exposition, and it is also rumored that one of the interesting statues will be that of Prof. DuBois himself. INTERNAL REVENUE ATLANTA, GA, Oct 7 - A. O. Blalock recently appointed Collector of Internal Revenue by President Wilson, has begun a campaign to insist all Negro officials Blalock says his Republican predecessor, Henry S. Jackson, paid $20,000 annually of Government money to Negroes. "There are no Government positions for Negroes in the south," said Collector Blalock. "A Negro's place is in the cournell. I do not mean that a Negro should not be educated and have rights, but there are deserving white men capable of holding the positions." This is the kind of irresponsible white politicians (for revenue only) that the Negro Democrats helped to give bread and meat. The Negroes have drawn up an appeal to President Wilson for protection. Has Largest Circulation PRICE FIVE CENTS MITCHELOPPOSED TO SEGREGATION Fusion Candidate for Mayor Speaks at a Meeting of Local Ministers TO RETAIN ANDERSON Audience Told by Mitchel That He Had Succeeded in Keeping Charles W. Anderson in Office Tell Candidate for Mayor They Want Member of Race on School Board and Ask for Policemen and Firemen. In response to an invitation from the Interdenominational Ministers' Conference, transmitted through Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, John Purry Mitchell, fusion candidate for mayor of the City of New York, addressed the Negro ministers of the city, with a scattering of laymen and a few women, the audience numbering about 300, at the regular weekly meeting of the conference held in the lecture room of St. Mark's Church, 55d street, Monday afternoon, October 6, at 2 o'clock. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, presided over the meeting, and Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, acted as secretary. Although the meeting was called for 1 o'clock, it was 1.50 p.m. before the speaker put in his appearance, accompanied by two or three newspaper men Mr. Mitchel was introduced to the audience by Dr. Powell, who said that the fusion candidate's position on the subway contracts, the police graft, Tammany Hall, public service, and other general questions could be learned from his addresses and utterances at other meetings and through the newspapers. But for the Negro to learn his attitude on segregation, civil rights discrimination, the appointment of Negroes to the Board of Education, the police force, the fire department, and to other departments of public service, it was necessary for Mr. Mitchel in coming before this audience of Negroes to say specifically and directly where he stood. Mitchel Talks on Race Justice. After greeting his audience, Mr. Michael said he had no instability in meeting the questions involved. The question of race justice, he said, emasured the whole question, and race justice is wrapped up in the question of popular rule. The manner in which Negroes were treated by the police was referred to, and the speaker declared that the police department should be administered without regard to race, class, color or creed. In this connection he took up the discrimination against Negro saloon keepers, which he denounced in strong terms. The orders issued by the late Mayor Gaynor, which discouraged the use of clubs by the police, was a good thing, he said, and if elected he would see that present conditions were maintained, and improved if possible. ```markdown ``` Referring to segregation, he said that he couldn't see how any American citizen could stand for segregation. Segregation means, as he understands it, discrimination against a man because he is a Negro, and this should not be tolerated. He declared that the President of the United States and Secretary of the Treasury had made an honest effort to give Negro men in office an opportunity to prove their capacity and demonstrate their efficiency, but that their efforts were frustrated by the action of the United States Senate. The speaker said he believed in a square deal. He believed that merit should be recognized, no matter under what color of skin it might be found. In this connection, Mr. Mitchel, who is Collector of the Port of New York, paid a tribute to Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the 2d District of New York, which called forth the most spontaneous applause, an applause which lasted several minutes and which necessitated a pause by the speaker until it had subsided. He said that he had already advanced arguments to the National Government in favor of the retention of Collector Anderson because his administration had been as efficient, and he had demonstrated as great capacity as any man who has ever held that office. He closed his reference to Mr. Anderson by saying: "And I think I can tell you that my efforts in that direction have been successful." Talks Against Tammany Hall. In closing his address Mr. Mitchel drew a comparison between an administration of affairs based on business efficiency, with recognition of merit and service without consideration of party or political pull, and an administration dominated by a political organization which is not a party but which controls a party, the foundation of which is graft and oppression of the weak, getting its strength by feeding upon the vitals of the vicious and criminal elements. He asked the ministers, if they wanted such an administration as first described, to vote for the ticket of which he is the head. But if they could stomach the other sort of condition to vote for Tammany Hall. At the conclusion of Mr. Mitchel's address, remarks were made by Dr. R. Ransom, in which he referred to the wave of segregation which was sweeping through the departmental offices in Washington under Wilson administration, and said that since Mr. Mitchel was credited with being in line with the Wilson administration the Negroes of the city wanted a clear-cut and definite statement from him, not only about segregation, but about the appointment of Negroes to the Board of Education, the power to appoint to which is vested solely with the mayor, the appointment of Negro doctors to the hospitals, and other public utilities. Incidentally Dr. Ransom took occasion to say that he had long been emancipated from party shackles. --- Mr. Mitchel, in an after speech of about five minutes, said that he had gone as far in defining his position as he could under the law. 'He could not say that he would appoint Neuroses to positions in return for their vote, for that would come in conflict with the Corrupt Practices Act. He could only reiterate that he stood for a square deal to all and for an equal opportunity to all men, excluding none. A rising vote of thanks was extended the speaker by the audience BIG RACE RIOT IS FEARED AT BALTIMORE inside to The New York, N.Y. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 8.-Baltimore has a new segregation "law" and its discussion and passage have left the faces in this city like opposing armies. The homes of several colored families who happened to move into locks where the other residents are white have been stoned and windows broken. The colored people of the vicinity have retaliated by breaking the windows of white residents. There have been a number of race clashes in various sections of the city, and whites and colored have been injured. A number of arrests of both faces have been made, and the penalties have been about the same. The most severe skirmishes took place in and around the 1300 block of Mashar street. A colored family moved into 1324 Mosher street and the whites began to hambard their house. The colored people of the vicinity retaliated, and broken windows, broken beads and brushes resulted. The home of a colored family at $28 N. Stricker street was stoned. The white neighbors raised $50, which along with a month's rent free and the expense of moving, persuaded the colored family to move elsewhere. White real estate dealers who rent houses to colored people have been threatened and their tenants immimated, but nearly all have refused to be intimidated. Should the whites become still more aggressive a serious clash between the races will result, as many colored people are in a most determined mood. The new segregation law was signed ast Thursday night by Mayor Presion after it had been rushed through the City Council. Councilman Cummings made a speech against its passage, asserting that the courts would surely declare it invalid. Another phase of the segregation agitation is the light made by residents of the northern, suburbs to present Morgan College being located there. The college has recently secured $100,000 and it will seek a new location. The present indications are that it will secure a first class location and will be the center of an ideal suburb for Negroes, where every home built along an approved line and with a minimum cost. DECISION ON ORDINANCE IS HANDED DOWN BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 8—The Court of Appeals at Annapolis Friday handed down an opinion in the case of the State of Maryland against John H. Gurry, involving the validity of the passage by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore of what is generally known as the segregation ordinances. The opinion was written by Judge Constable and is supplementary to the per curiam opinion of some weeks ago which declared in brief terms that the ordinance was invalid, but indicated the character of ordinance on the subject that would not be declared invalid by the Appellate Court. The fact that in some instances even the judges of our higher courts are chock full of color prejudice is shown by the action of the court in seeking to show the officials of Baltimore a way to enact a valid segregation measure. Prominent lawyers assert, however, that no such measure will ever stand in the United States Supreme Court. "OVERTIME" CHARGED FOR PLAYING POKE A prominent business man is responsible for the statement that some of the employees of the Emmanuelpation Commission were overheard discussing their participation on a certain night in a stiff poker game in a prominent political club located on West 136th street. The business man was waiting in the offices of the Commission to see one of the high officials who "happened" not to be in at the time, and his presence evidently was forgotten by the aforementioned employees. After discussing their varying fortunes in the great American game, the business man says he heard them reach an agreement by which the hours during which they were "employed" playing poker were charged up to the Commission as payment at double the wages supposed to be about 60 cents an hour. The question is, if this is true, how much of the deficit which it is reported the Commission is facing, can be attributed to "overtime" charges such as is alleged in this case. DR. BYRD'S WORK SAID TO CAUSE FRICTION It is rumored that fraction is developing in the Emancipation Commission between Prof W. E. R. DuBois and Dr. W. A. Byrd, head of the religious commission, relative to the administration of that department. The report is that some of Dr. Byrd's plans are, or will be, overridden by Prof. DuBois, and that the religious commissioner will shortly find his authority and responsibility, with the attendant emolument. considerably cutaneous. It is said that there is high authority for the statement that Dr. Byrd is going to find himself the victim of a raw deal from a fellow commissioner unless he wakes up in time to prevent it. Dr. Byrd, as head of the religious commission, is reported to have a budget of $600 for rent of his house in Rochester as an office, for salary of members of his family doing clerical work, for hire of an automobile, and other expenses. RACE RAISES FUND TO NEVER GEORGE BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 18. Negro citizens of Baltimore have raised over $500 within the past two weeks to fight race discriminatory measures. Following the enactment of the segregation law, separate cars and other race repressive measures were broached. The city is apparently tranquil, even though there have been numerous race clashes. Colored man shot four persons last week who were in a mob that bombarded his home. He was given three months in jail on each of the three shooting charges and prayed a jury trial in the fourth. His attorneys noted an appeal on the charge on which he was released on $500 bail. NEW DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION FORMED WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 17. A political organization, known as the Colored Progressive Democrats of the United States of America, has been formed. The officers are as follows: A. B. C. secretary of New Jersey, president; W. C. Payne of Ohio, first vice-president; the Rev. L. C. Newby of New Jersey, second vice-president; W. C. Ferguson of the District of Columbia, recording secretary; R. Corblet, Oklahoma, correspondent secretary; J. L. Offort, Pennsylvania, financial secretary; the Rev. J. R. Dangerfield of New Jersey, treasurer; S. Gray of Maryland, chaplain; J. B. Smith of Maryland, sergeant-at-arms. ALABAMA INSURANCE COMPANIES COMBINE BIRMINGHAM, Ma., Oct. 7.—The Union Mutual Aid Association of Mobile, Ma. represented here by W. E. Driver, has purchased the People's Mutual Aid Association of this city, combining the business of the two companies and retaining all the present employees. C. First Johnson is the head of the Mobile company and the home company was directed by Dr. U. G. Mason and L. G. Mason. NO WHITE TEACHERS FOR FLORIDA NEGROES Tallahasse, Fla. Oct. 7. The State Legislature recently passed a bill, which has become law, prohibiting any white person from teaching in a Negro school or a Negro teaching in a white school, fixing as a penalty for violation of this law a fine now exceeding $500, or one year in the county jail. A SEGREGATION LAW FOR NORTH CAROLINA RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. 7.—Last week during the extra session of the State Legislature a segregation bill was introduced, by the terms of which white and colored people cannot live in the same block or neighborhood. The bill will effect our entire State and will work many hardships upon the Negro citizens. Octorara Club Banquets Head Wailer. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 9.—The Octorara Social Club gave a banquet at the Little Savoy Hotel August 29 in honor of H. G. Davis, head waiter, and F. Oliver, chef, of the steamer Octorara, the most potential steamer on the lakes. The ball was decorated with American Indian roses and white chrysantheniums. Winston, N. C., Oct. 7.—Waters Normal Institute has been open several days, but on October 3 began work in earnest. Chapel exercises were held and the president extended a cordial greeting to many of the many old students who were surprised and appalled. President Brown looking so well, Time has dealt gently with him. The presence of the Rev. J. C. Melton has greatly strengthened the faculty. The Rev. Dr. Melton abolished the place for young men and in its place formed the Rev. C. caused the athletic association and class to be run on a constitutional basis, around class and institutional spirit, something that has been dead some time. CRITICISM MOVES U. S. OFFICIALS thum down to some particular department or room. In the treasury, Assistant Secretary Williams, a Virginian, has been blamed. "The protests have made themselves heard and have gone direct to the White House. They have naturally reached Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury and Postmaster-General Burleson, and these have ordered a complete retreat on the practices instituted, and the unlawful unaward of them. President Wilson himself says that the charges now made are without warrant, and this he is prepared to show to all who may inquire of them, of least all of has the President been responsible for the practices observed. And in fairness to him it should be said that somebody was taking advantage of the President because of his democracy, which it has been thought must include negro-phobia. on this matter. Their is a retreat, but steps will be taken to see that the retreat is a permanent one. There is a resolution of inquiry in the Senate still remaining, to be acted upon, but Senator Chapp of Minnesota, who is not easily brushed aside, says he is going to call it up. It is restricted in its scope, however, addressing itself to abuses in the post-office department. "There has been considerable wonder that Massachusetts has not taken the lead in the prosecution of an inquiry in the Massachusetts delegation in Congress, been called upon to wake up and rise in occasion. Congressman Rogers of the Loeil celli trict has been nosing around good it and has found the retreat going, out if anything remains that should be inquired into he will formulate resolutions for an investigation by the house of Representatives." Although the New England papers are publishing articles about the segregation movement having been halted, the colored clerks in the departments at Washington are being intimidated and humiliated, and nothing short of a Congressional inquiry as proposed by Senator Clapp will stop this vicious practice. Such articles as sent to the Boston Advisor have been given to correspondents by John Skelton Williams and his kind to blind congressmen who favor a congressional inquiry.

There was much in Princeton, N. J. when Princeton University closed for the season at the beginning of last summer that radical changes would probably be made at the fall opening in the character of the help employed in the dining rooms and dormitories of the university, but the help mostly concerned did not give much credence to the talk Princeton University has always employed colored help, it was said, and its student body, mostly Southern young men, were used to colored help and would not stand for white help. The following news dispatch, taken from the Trenton Evening Times, puts the matter in a different light: Princeton, Sept. 27.—For the first time in its history, it is said, white help has taken the place of Negro cooks, the first black cooks in the city. Black Greeks have supplanted the Negroes and already there is some discontent because of the employment of the foreigners in the preparation and handling of food than the Negroes, but a few of the students who eat in the dining halls prefer the discharged cooks and the students about the food and service, but investigation at the direction of the faculty failed to show any real ground for the effect that the dishwashing might be improved, but that the food and water service were excellent. The "iniversity building" has been renovated. The university building in Atlanta. Baths were put in on the upper floors for use of the help. It is estimated that some 200 men are affected by the change, as well as many female members of their families who found profitable employment as domestic in the families of professors of the university and other residents of the town, many of whom have had and are having plenty of trouble in securing the sort of help they desire. The experiment of substituting Greek for Negro help may fail, but if it should it will be because of lack of available white females for domestic service and because the Southern students insist upon having Negro help. In the present inflamed state of Southern public opinion on the race question it is not worth while to waste time in speculating on what a lot of Southern students may do in such a case. The ugly fact to be considered is that 200 men, with perhaps 100 females, have lost their hold upon a lucrative employment at Princeton for ten months and possibly for all time, and that foreigners have been preferred to them. That is the ugly fact. If it were an isolated fact it could be allowed to pass as an item of news of yesterday, but it is note: it is symptomatic of a national movement outside the Southern group of states to displace Negro labor in a standard gainful occupation by foreign labor organized to the minute; an occupation in which Negroes have always held their own in all parts of the country until foreigners began to crowd them out, first as individuals, then as groups and lastly as a thoroughly organized body who deny membership to the Negro and who refuse to work in the same service with him on equal terms. There is no reason to conclude that these foreigners will not enter the Southern hotel field in time, the winter business of which has grown to vast and lucrative proportions, and is controlled almost entirely by Northern companies who also operate hotels in the North and West. When they do it will be a sad day for the Negro. Our hotel men should know better than we do how to meet the threatened loss of their companion. It seems to us how ver. that they should hold a national convention and perfect plans for It is not necessary to explicitly explain the reasons of the various things creature. We never know a person, however great, when their immediate factory did not spell, whole head was not swelled by it, and when, in consequence, when the vanity had grown upon him, fed by those who hoped to make profit by their superserviceability, did not ultimately become useless to himself and those who "had swelled his head." It is on this account that the children of the rich, who are flattered and pampered from their youth up, are so often outstripped in the race of life by the children of the poor, who are flattered and pampered in nothing but are made to "rough it," to "sink or swim," to "go it alone," from the cradle to the grave. They early learn to do for themselves what the children of the rich have paid hirelings to do for them, so that when they come to situations where they can expect no help from others they are able to help themselves. The men who have achieved the most notable successes and been most helpful to mankind have been of this character. Men like Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Lundy, Abraham Lincoln and Henry Wilson did not wait for others to do for them what they could do for themselves in philosophy, statesmanship and morals any more than John Jacob Astor, Cornelius Vanderbilt, A. T. Stewart and Collis P. Huntington did in business initiative and development. They saw their opportunity and made the most of it, making many fortunes for others as well as for themselves, at the same time enlarging the reputation of the Nation at home and abroad for business genius and enterprise. We have had pioneers of our own in many lines of thought and activity, who in a small sphere illustrated the ability of the race to do for itself; such men were Benjamin Bannekar, Richard Allen, Richard Varick, Frederick Douglass, William Still, George T Downing, Philip H. White, Adam Blake, William Wormley and many others; and we have a host of men today, scattered in all parts of the country, who think they are pioneers in their different works but are simply builders on the foundations dug by their elders in and immediately out of the dense darkness of slavery, who all things considered, gave a remarkable good account of their stewardship, reflected in the total work of the race in the celebration this year of the first half century of freedom and opportunity. We cannot afford to undervalue the small things in the total of our possessions, however great they may be or grow to be. The people of the United States are not alone in the tendency to magnify material things, to worship, more or less, the Almighty Dollar, and to glorify those who have amassed more of them than others have. The daily newspapers scorn to rate a man who owns an automobile and gets tangled in the news of the day by "a smash up" or other escapades, as being less than a millionaire. The newspapers in this way teach the great mass of the people to think in terms of millions of dollars, and consequent worship of the Almighty Dollar, and those who squander it in luxurious and often notorious and brazenly extravagant living, or to envy them their unlimited enjoyment of riches and freedom from the horrors of poverty. The discontented poor increase more rapidly than the contented rich, and the small wage and scanty fare look smaller and more scanty when compared with the large income and the luxurious living of the rich and those who ape them. The display and lavishment of the rich and those who ape them are not seen by the great mass of the people who have great trouble to pay the tenement rent and keep the pot boiling, but they read all about it day after day in the penny newspapers, and their poverty and misery are made all the harder on account of the knowledge they get in this way. They carry discussion of the great disparity between the rich and the poor from their crowded tenement rooms often dens westward in America, into their work shops, labor union meetings and thence into their labor strikes, lockouts and, frequently, riots. When a Nation produces enough discontented poor to make labor riots a common practice, as they have become in this country and most of the countries of Europe today, the safety of the government is threatened at the foundation. It was that way in the declining days of the Cities of Greece and the Republic of Rome. While the fortunate few revelled in wealth and vulgar display of it, the great mass of the people, the blood of the state starved in the slums or were fed at the public granaries, until the barbarians whipped the masters and slaves of wealth into worse than "servants of servants." The Negro has caught the spirit of the age. He also has learned the priceless value of wealth and is learning to make it and hold on to it; that is a good and needful lesson for any people to master and practice. By it the Jews have mastered the prejudice against them as a race in this country and most of the states of Europe, coupled, of course, with their cultural gifts that have given them a proud and abiding place in statesmanship, in the professions, in the sciences and in letters; but even in New York State today, as we have shown from time to time in THE AGE, the Jew is an object for prejudice to persecute, so that he too must go to the legislature for the relief denied him by the same vicious public opinion that prosecutes and persecutes the Negro. It is not the possession of wealth that makes the mischief; far from it; it is the abuse in the use of wealth. Many may say that the Negro has too small a stock of wealth to abuse it, but they do so are ignorant of the vast host of Negroes who ape the rich in their living and for whom palaces of pleasure have been built in the past ten years in all the large cities of the country, from Boston to San Francisco and from New Orleans to New York. These apers of wealth and the ways of the rich are on the increase, and are drawing into their rapid way of living; with rich ten dollars today and poor without a cent tomorrow multitudes of the best and most promising of the young men and women of the race, who have turned their faces away from the temperate, orderly and industrious life of the Christian home and church. They worship the Almighty Dollar for the pleasures it will purchase them and are satisfied to live today, or think they are, and let tomorrow take care of itself. Those Negroes who have amassed wealth, or are slowly amassing it, that their children may have better homes, better education and better opportunities in beginning life than their fathers had, are the hope of the race of the future; but their labors will be in vain if the sons, instead of building upon the foundations of the fathers, turn aside, as the disposition and tendency are to do into the paths where the abuses of wealth are made a curse and not a blessing. The Almighty Dollar is a good thing to have and wisely use but a dangerous thing to have and abuse. With all our getting let us learn to use what we get wisely meeting the threat by an organized body after thorough discussion had brought out all of the phases of the situation all necessary to be dealt with. and that they are still fighting. Let them continue the good work. "Eternal vigilence is the price of liberty" in all ages. The new segregation law in Bal- THE MARYLAND AGONY. Maryland, perhaps the most Catholic State in the country, except Louisiana shroud by that sign be the most liberal and humane in its treatment of its race problems, but it is far otherwise. During the past ten years the State has been in an agony of race prejudice, with Catholic Baltimore as the storm center. All sorts of legislation has been proposed and much adopted by the State and the city of Baltimore, aiming directly at curtailment or denial to Negro citizens of the right to vote and be voted for, to equal accommodations on land and water, to buy and sell property and to occupy or rent the same as other citizens do, except in segregated districts, and to the right to be projected from male violence. The Jews of barbarous Russia are subjected to all the disabilities the Jews of Baltimore, and they constitute a large and influential body of the citizenship seek with others to impose upon their Negro fellow citizens. In such a situation we are all the more able to appreciate the glowing tribute the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger pays to Col. Charles Jerome Bonaparte for his long tenure and consistent advocacy of "equal rights to all special privilege for none." It is profitable that the Negro citizens of Maryland and essentially of Baltimore, that they have not the determination to them of their rights and to degrade their manhood with a splendid courage and resourcefulness. and that they are still lightning. Let them continue the good work. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" in all ages. The new segregation law in Baltimore caused serious clashes, that read like near riots, last week, with the police and white public opinion on the side of the white riots and against Negro property owners defending their persons and property. A news dispatch says: Baltimore, Oct. 1. Judge Duncan of the Baltimore court granted an injunction restraining Morgan College. Bert T. Spencer, the Washington Loan College, granted the injunction to banboard Realty Company from taking any action that would result in the settlement upon any portion of the Carroll estate at Mount Vernon. The persons of Negro descent except as servants. This action is the result of the attempt of the state to force the Negro educational institution locate in the foothills of Washington suburb. Andrew Carnegie has given $50,000 for the new education fund of Washington, now situated in Fulton Wengey in Baltimore City. An announcement was made this morning by the Spencer that negotiations for the sale of the Carroll Hill in the Morgan Heights Company for development as a colored settlement had been practically completed, and that work would begin on the improvements within two weeks. Of course the Baltimore segregation law is unconstitutional, and will reach the Federal Supreme Court in time, but how that body will construe the law remains to be seen, as it has become as Col. Roosevelt showed in The Outlook last summer, a law making as well as law interpreting body. It is the duty of those whose rights and interests are concerned, however, to exhaust all of the legal processes to protect them. They owe that much to themselves and those who will come after them. But the Maryland agony is not local in character; it is present in one disguise or another in each of the 48 states. It is the miasma of slavery, wafted upon the wings of the deadly South winds in Of course there is no "neutral consent" about it; there never is where the strong all vote the way they want things and the weak are not allowed to vote at all. The Emperor Napoleon was blasphemously wrong when he declared that "God is always on the side of the strongest battalions"; God is always on the side of those "who have their quarrel just," and they are mostly the weak and not the strong in the Nation's citizenship. The fate of a Nation has always turned upon its treatment of its weakest factorate. It whipped the Slave Power to its knees at Appomattox and it will yet break on the wheel the spirit of the Slave Master, now insolently rampant in the land, when Shiloh's ghost from Shiloh's battlefield shall "come again!" It is written in the Book. Mrs. La. Follette says further: Hereforeto, on the street cars, and, as I understand it, in the government service there has been no official discrimination against the colored people. Since the advent of the new administration, however, there has been unquestionably a marked change, not perhaps so much in sentiment, as in the freer, stronger expression of the desire for greater racial integration. Three bills have been introduced this session of Congress for segregation of the races in street cars by Washington by Mr. Clark of Florida, Mr. Harrison of Michigan, and Mr. Oklahoma. There has been talk before this of Jim Crow cars here, but it has been only talk. Very few have really believed that a movement for segregation of the races in the cars could be made to carry at the capitol of the nation. But now the possibility is being regarded more seriously. There is no just reason for asking segregation on the street cars of Washington, other than race prejudice. The colored people are, according to their employment, as clean and well cared for, and the colored people are not having a number of violations in right than segregation of pedestrians on the highway. It seems strange that the very one who considers it the greatest hardship to sit next a colored person in a street car, entrust their children to colored nurses and eat food prepared by colored hands. There need nothing be added to this statement and conclusion. It is as just as death in the one, which exacts an eye for an eye, and as fair as life in the other, which exacts a tooth for a tooth, until wrong is compelled to right itself with Justice. She says there are some 11,000 colored employees working for the Government, more than half of them in Washington, who competed with whites for their positions, who are proud of their success, and who resent more than she ever knew before the drawing of the color line in the public service by the Democratic Administration—the Slave Master Spirit that will yet be broken on the wheel. Al honor to Mrs. Belle Case La Follette! If her husband had the courage of her convictions he could shake the moral foundations of the Nation from the place where he stands in the Federal Senate. But he wants to be President, and that desire made a coward of Daniel Webster and a stinker of Henry Clay. the culmination of every age, and which has always destroyed the nation that did not front it and drive it back with wisdom Justice and Truth. HOW RACE WARS ARE MADE Mankind are, and always have been ruled by the education they receive, just like so many animals; therefore, it should not be matter of surprise that the national sensational newspaper policy of the past thirty-seven years, since 1876, of parading criminal acts for gain and keeping silent on Southern mob-wrathing methods for the same purpose during the same time, has resulted in the death of the austere Puritanism of New England, in which the school house and the church were the centers of thought and inspiration, at the hands of the slave cavalierism of the South, in which robbery of black labor and dehumanization of black women blunted thought and strangled inspiration, which in turn is being done to death by the Southern lawless mob-wrathing spirit which is now making itself felt in many directions all over the land. The Federal Republic is composed of 48 States. It is really no stronger than its weakest state, or group of States. A deadly moral disease left free to do its work in the smallest State will gradually work its way into all of the States and corrupt them all. That is what the Southern moth-wrathing spirit, let loose in 1868, and excused by the Nation of the rotten plea that "blood is thicker than water," has done for the Nation. Race wars, class wars, caste wars, have always been made in this way, as the wrecked 'nations that litter the highways of history conclusively prove. Our Nation is headed in that direction, and has been ever since it gave the Presidency to R. B. Hayes, and the Southern State governments to the Kuklux assassins and thieves. Those who sow to the wind must reap the whirlwind. Take the following as a case in point, as related in a Harriston, Miss., dispatch of September 28: Two drug-crazed mulatto boys, brothers, began a fight over the morning before only four of them, 16, Negro men and a Negro woman had been killed, 20 persons wounded and the two boys lynched. A company sent them to the hospital by the arrival, on a special train, of a company of National Guardsmen from Natchacre. The trouble started about a week before, until 10 o'clock, when Walter Jones, aged 20, the elder of the two boys, who had started the firing, was wounded after the fight. Willie Jones, who had been shot and killed by citizens earlier in the day, Citizens of the towns who had barricaded themselves in their homes began to cautiously emerge at 10 o'clock in the places, and by noon the team was quiet. The shooting was started in the Negro quarter by Walter Jones, who then went to his mother's house and got his younger brother, when the two started in to shoot up the town. Just "two drink-crazed" youngsters. No race war about it; and, yet, the whites immediately called it a race war and began to implicate all the relatives of the two boys and all the Negroes in the town. The news dispatch of the next day says: Harrison Miss, Sept. 29 - Silent from fear of the dead, dead, 2000. No surprising practically all of the black population of this vicinity, were compelled to pass in line today before the coffins in which lay two, members of their race lynched yesterday. The lynchmen were the two Joneses that started the race riot years that resulted in a total of twelve deaths and sixteen wounded. It is now believed that the killing was carefully planned, but that it was slapped for Octo- ber 19, 2000, by a group of men armed with caine caused the shooting at the time it occured. Charged with being the prime platoon, Mag- gus, with both Willie and Walter Jones, was arrested at Port Gibson, twenty miles away, to night. A well organized posse is somewhere between here and Port Gibson and she was charged with having killed 10 of them. She is charged with having bought the caine that created her sons. She has been living with Joseph Prophet. He is an organizer of Negro getter societies and came here from Champaign, Ill., where he had known Mrs. Jones. She is exclusively bright, and well educated for one of her race. How long will it be before 2,000 Negroes in a town like Harrison will re- fuse to be "lined up" to shoot to kill, so that a real race should be a gaal race war and no farce? It may be fifty years in coming, but it will come. How long will the public opinion of the Nation continue to accept such a mockery of justice as this terrorizing of 2000 Negroes and implicating them in the criminal acts of two of their race about which they knew nothing—"two boys" at that, not men, drugged, not sane and responsible? How long? And how long will the responsible newspapers of the country continue to magnify such tragedies, such common brawns, into race wars, as a justification for Southern white lawlessness and contempt for the personal rights of the Negroes, and to make a sensational news article for the newsboys to yell on the streets? "Frederick, is God dead?" Sojourner Truth once asked him sharply in a public assembly. No; He is not dead, and His Justice camps forever on the trail of wrong doers. MR. TROTTER INDIGNANT. It is a healthy sign when a public man becomes sensitive, raw, to criticism of his public sayings and doings. Mr William Monroe Trotter shows this healthy sign. We are bound to applaud and to encourage him to continue in the good way, because "e'en our failings lean to virtue's side" as childlike Oliver Goldsmith hath said it. In another column of THE AGE today Mr. Trotter insists that he is not guilty a saliged, in THE AGE of September 25, in an editorial headed "Conversion too Late," of seeking office of President Wilson and keeping silent on Democratic "cussness" at Washington until he learned that the White House was not looking in the direction of 21 Cornell, where Mr. Trotter does most of his thinking. We accept Mr. Trotter's disclaimer as being true, and are very much pleased to do so, and to give it as wide circulation as we gave the allegation. We only alleged that which has been commonly affirmed in Negro Democratic circles in New York and Washington since last March 4, and which Mr. Trotter did not deem it necessary to deny until THE AGE alleged it on common information and belief. We earnestly desire to assist every crooked man get straight who desires it. Nigeria who did not admit the failure of approval on him, and he has done it on information and belief and without the least care for the damage done to the feelings, the goodness and the reputation of those assailed, or any respect "for fair play." We are, therefore, delighted that Mr. Trotter has grown to the point where he becomes "amazed" and cries loudly when we lodge old "information and belief", and "fair play" in front of 21 Cornhill, where William Lloyd Garrison and his Liberator used to think and fulmine 'er the Nation. As to the Brownsville outrage, THE Age denounced it, and fought it until the congress finally disposed of it, and never did condone it, and does not now, but when it ceased to be an issue THE Age dropped it and went on to other and living questions of the day. THE AGE led from the very first in protesting against "Federal Segregation" in opposing the election of Mr. Wilson as President when Mr. Trotter was supporting him, and it was not therefore reasonable that we, should adopt Mr. Trotter's idea which we had first suggested to Mr. Trotter. Col. Roosevelt, back from Western wilds, thinks that one way to meet the high cost of meat is to eat lion flesh, but he does not think it is decently lent," the news dispatches report. But there are two sides to the proposed relief. You have to catch the lion before you can eat him, and there are hardly enough lions in North America to feed them. The lions cannot be tamed and raised as other animals are. Like the cagle and serpent his enmity to man is unamutable and uneradicable. There must be something in this omnity which has not been explained, payoff and maligned. The lions have not made the deh of either a food product, and perhaps never will, as their species is becoming rarer and scarcer every year. Contribution to Douglass Home Fund.

What would I do for absolute fair dealing and for every thing by which I could assist in advancing the interests of our race in the United States. Mr. Wilson has become President. He has chosen a cabinet whose members preside over the several departments of the government service. He has chosen a cabinet whose offices of registrar of the treasury and of minister to Haiti colored men, though colored men in succession have held these positions for many years. We wonder how Mr. Wilson thinks the department has been adopted in some of the departments, squares with his statement which is the text of this discourse. Certain cabinet officials or their subordinates have issued orders which clerks and employees by a color line which has no other basis than race prejudice. And this 50 years after emancipation, Strong memorials from leading citizens have been sent to the President will not interfere, then the President will not responsibility for it. During the last few months orders have been issued in the treasury and postoffice departments, which require white and colored clerks to use separate lounge rooms, and most of the colored clerks in the postoffice department have been called from the various bursars and assembled in the dead letter office in a room where they are stationed. In the other department of lockers crossing the middle of the room, one important colored clerk, whose place cannot be conveniently changed, has suffered the indignity of being screened off from the other room. In the other room, the doors of the toilet rooms to see that colored clerks use the separate rooms assigned to them on the eighth floor of the postoffice department building, in the treasury department building, in the basement. In either case there is the burden and great loss of time in seeking distant accommodations. Meantime, such Senators as Vardaman, Tillman, and Hoke Smith and other Southern members, declare their purpose to force race segregation THE HAIR REALTY AND IMPROV OF AMERICA RUFUS LEWIS PEN ALBERT A.

Secretary --- 375 Fulton Street these injustices and power, with promises of a better life for our people, the respected people obligated, included according to Mr. Wilson's expulsion. This administration was under no small obligation to many colored voters, who foolishly threw aside past political allegiance and voted for Wilson, relying on the promise we have made. These injustices and humiliating restrictions, imposed on faithful and capable clerks whose record has been highly creditable and who stood unchallenged in efficiency and character, have caused us to sweep over rebellion, race, against whom the federal government is thus discriminating. Color cache has been hitherto unknown in the Federal service in Washington, where white and colored men and women we worked together for the government harmoniously and on equal footing. If now the Federal Government in its own sanctuaries of service turns against them, for what can they hope to do? It is an outrage on their rights. It is a publication of the spirit of the Constitution. If those who would draw the color line prevail, they will undo what Lincoln did. It is a time to make a stand for the rights against this wrong, as intolerable, and not to rest until we prevail. Trotter's Pitiful Wail. To the Editor of The New York Age, Dear Sir—Ordnarily I ignore editorial attacks by my personal or journalal author, but I will not untitled "Conversion Too Late." in which state that prior to my "breaking out against the Wilson administration" I "filled the mails with petitions urging President Wilson to appoint Kim (Troter to be) the chief judicial journalis- tion that common desire require notice of it. For the assertion that I sought office is not only wholly false but inexcu- ably so. Under the ethics of journalism nothing is more disreputable than the assertion that I is. I never wrote any such letter or petition in my life. I never consented to any such nor was I ever aware of such which I did not countermand. Your false charge that I withheld the truth of my statement President Wilson did not surprise me, but your resort to the direct charge that I did so for selfish reasons, with a statement which not only was untrue in every particular but for which I could have no evidence whether amazed me for reckless misrepresentation. In view of the fact that you were silent for six years on the revolting Brownville injustice under Republican cannibalism, your inference that failure would start them out against the increase of an abuse which started under Republicans until a Democratic administration had been in power five months was guilty, must be an attempt on your part to be faced soon as the evidence warranted, relying upon my regular channels of information. Your editorial certainly vindicates my refusal to trust your statements. W. Win, Monroe Trotter, 21 Cornhill, Boston, Mass. Oct. 1, 1913. The Age and the Minister. To the Editor of THE AGE: Being an old patron of your paper and very much pleased by the stand you, as publisher and editor, take for the progress and uplift of our race variety, cause me to pen a few commendable words. Allow me first to inform you that I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and that I can truthfully say that I do not have knowledge of any journal controlled and issued by one of our race variety that has done more to give moral and religious tone to the ministry of our race. I want to assure you that there is a ministerial integrity and appreciate the commendable work of THE NEW YORK AGE. We do not believe that a Christian bishop or minister should assume the role of a political leader or be a 36-day politician, for there are others more litigious when, in the heart of a campaign, that I believe the minister should discuss political issues as a Christian spiritual leader, but not assume political leadership. We do not regard you to be a minister, but one intermediary in our service. The many scandals of some ministerial wolves in sheep's clothing, we need all the help we may be able to get, whether it comes from the quill driver or anyone else, just so it has the pure, right touch. We must race to ascend to progressive heights. If any one of us feel that we cannot stand having the light turned on us, we should get off the platform and let others fill up our places. My knowledge of your work has been kind and generous, but in your fearless way you will cell only the truth. There are those of us, whilst we enjoy receiving praise and have flowers strewn in our pathway, yet we do not find fault when criticism comes. Respectfully, (Signal) J. HARRIS ACCOOR Brooklyn, N. Y.

COURT PLEASE TO JUDGE TO BE FAIR TO NEGRO Judge Rosalsky in Charge to Jury Denounces Color Prejudice TAKES A BROAD STAND Judge Says That White Man Rules To-Day, The Colored Man Might To-Morrow Preaches Sentiments of Brotherly Love In charging the jury in the case of Walter Brown, colored, who was on trial in the Court of General Sessions, charged with assault for having defended himself in a race riot which recently occurred Olox O. A. Rorsalk branded Judge O. A. Rorsalk branded race prejudice as degrading and harmful, and in his plea to the white jurors for a verdict based solely on the evidence, he said, in part: "Gentlemen of the jury, the duty is the bearing of the jurors who are to pass upon an act of injustice. It is duty to emancipate themselves from every form of bigotry, intolerance and prejudice that might have a tendency to warp their judgment. It is essential for a man who serves as a juror should free himself from passion, prejudice and sympathy. If a juror permits either passion or sympathy to warp his judgment, he must serve both in the State and to the accused. Asked That Case Be Decided on Evidence. There is evidence in this case that unfortunately the white persons and the colored persons in the vicinity of Lexox under the circumstances free from strife, violence and disorder. This evidence has not been injected into the case, nor has the purpose of arousing your sympathy in favor of the defendant. That evidence should not be used as a shield for protection in the circumstances of introduction the defendant and introduced to all your attention to the circumstances under which the defendant was moved to discharge two loaded firearms, upon the day in question. "The defendant interposes what is known to the law as the defense of self-defense. What is self-defense as defined by the necessity of the situation in which a person finds himself. The law says that when a person, who is without fault himself, is attacked by another in such manner and under such circumstances, prebending a design to do him some great bodily harm or injury, and there is reasonable ground for believing the danger imminent that such design will be accepted, and, under circumstances which tend to show an attempt to destroy the individual or to do anything that seriously imply or affect his property, his life or limb, or for the protection of his property, use force even to the extent of seriously wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm upon the assailant. If the danger is small, the danger and the usability will be justifiable although it may afterwards turn out that the appearance which created the condition were in fact, false, and there was no need for design on the part of the assailant to be done, nor danger that it would be done. Do your duty honestly, fearlessly and concientiously, calmly and dispassionately decide this case upon the evidence and deliver verdict you render in this case, both to the jury and the defendant can join in saying that the jury rendered a concientious verdict. The jury was unable to agree, stand- ing for acquittal and two for convic- tion. WASHINGTON, D.C. Washington, D. C., Oct. 8—Harry W.

She may milk the baby too long, of the milk may be poor because she is not in good condition—because she explains another little thing of the mother will affect the milk mother's health and diet may need attention. In many cases the bottle-fed babies are weak. The muscles are fibby and the bones are soft. The mother should do not be too sure that the mother's milk is suitable. The children that suffer with weakness and are slow at teething need to have, their food changed, and plenty of fresh air and so many moses think the bow-legs are due to walking too slowly they pay no attention to the 'colder' the child takes so often, and the diarrhea and constipation go unnoticed. All these complaints should attract attention. The first sign of crooked bones or teething the diet should be attended to. Many mothers never think of the nervous action of the baby when it is held so that the hair is worn off the head of the head. The head sweats during sleep. All these signs of weakness in the often so unnoticed and treatment is important are crooked arms and sometimes a crooked back exist when they could easily have been prevented. If not crooked, the nervousness may become serious. SYMPTOM& This disease occurs when the bones are growing fast and are soft and little break easily. The glands of the neck and the back and of the ribs are apt to be large and the child will be pigeon-breasted. In some cases the tendons are weak and the children with choke tend to have weak ankles. Children with choke tend to convulsions. Poor blood is seen among these children, and they are pale. They take disease quicker than children, and the diseases are always more severe. Many of these children appear pungy and pale, and the tissues are soft. They are irritable and peevish and do not sleep well. The child suffers with sleep of the body and do not like to be moved. TREATMENT. This disease can easily be avoided when it exists it can be cured if the treatment is taken in time. If the child's bones are already deformed, the treatment should continue. Some deformities are later omitten. Some orders of the splenic and liver can be overcome. As this disease occurs between the ages of six months and two years, the treatment should commence with water is necessary. There should be plenty of fresh air in the sleeping rooms. Short visits to the country are always a help. A child should be in sunshine and free during most of the day. Cows' milk can be fed to the child be taken from several cows and should be modified according to the age of the child. Carefully prepared oatmeal, gruel and barley water may be used. First year the diet should consist of milk cream and eggs. After two years of age baked potatoes can be taken, bread dipped in gravy of fat bacon is good; fresh milk, stale bread and bread dough are used.

Intipation and improper food should not give the weakness of the stamina or intermittent sweating. This disease known as rickets is common. In some cases it affects almost every organ of the body. No race or class of people are free from the disease. It exists among all classes of people, but is most common among poor people and Italians, and crowded cities and villages generally suffer with this disease. Dr. A. M.

USUALLY in chronicling a demise some historical reference is made relative to the deceased. While in this instance the imparting of information that the Hotel Marshall passed away on the night of September 4 might be regarded as stale news by some, yet it may not be considered amiss for me to act in the capacity of the hotel's biographer. Of course, this biographical sketch must be looked upon strictly as an abridged edition. When nearly one hundred disciples of good cheer warbled more affectionately than melodiously "Auld Lang Syne" at 127-9 West 53d street, just as dawn was breaking on the morning of September 5, there was ushered out of existence one of New York's most famous places of amusement. The Hotel Marshall was unique in many respects. It is doubtful if Manhattan, with its various and multi-various show places, will ever have anything like it again. The Hotel Marshall was not closed at the instance of the local authorities. Some months ago a 1 o'clock closing order was issued by the late Mayor Gaybor, who instructed all eating places to turn out the lights at 1 o'clock. In the majority of cities such an order would not have been regarded seriously by restaurateurs, but in New York, where the Gay White Way does not take on wonted activity until after the theatres have let out, it meant a great financial loss. So the Hotel Marshall was among the large number of gastronomic institutions located in the Long Acre Square District that was forced to suspend business. --- Jugt as the faults of people are sometimes magnified and their virtues minimized, so it has been with the Hotel Marshall. This can be said without overlooking the fact that the place fell heir to no little unavoy notoriety due to irresponsible, hard-headed, bigoted colored men who possessed one absorbing ambition. They were of the "Jack" Johnson type, who cared naught for public opinion, but who were obsessed with a passion for "going big" in public with a certain class of women. Their actions were not always gentlemanly, and the more attention they attracted, the more they poked out their chest. But, as we are told, "there is good in everything," and aside from this obnoxious element which it is true, was very much in evidence, the Hotel Marshall can go down in history as having been an institution of usefulness. And as we usually speak in respectful and complimentary terms of the dead, no matter how much we upbraid them during life, it is therefore fitting that we accord the Hotel Marshall similar consideration. The Hotel Marshall was known for a short time as the Marshall-Lett, and was established in 1900 by James L. Marshall and Charles Lett. It was first located in West 31st street. Accommodating such well known performers as Williams and Walker, who were rapidly coming into the limelight, the hotel did a good business, and it was on October 15, 1900 that the establishment was moved to 127 West 53d street. The partnership of Marshall and Lett was dissolved a few months later. James L. Marshall took complete charge, and named the place Marshall, Business increased to such an extent that it was not long before Mr. Marshall also took over 129 West 53d street. Members of the "Four Hundred," the leading theatrical people of the country and notables from far and near were entertained at the Hotel Marshall. When Prince Henry paid his memorable visit to this country he was taken to the Hotel Marshall, where colored singers and dancers of ability appeared for his express benefit. As he sat and listened to the musical numbers he, from time to time, expressed himself as being greatly pleased with the work of the artists. In looking for entertainment the Vanderbilts and other prominent society people have listened for hours and enjoyed the brand of amusement provided by the colored musicians, and there were times when they tripped the light fantastic-women and men. Even prominent white men from the South who came to New York sightseeing soon forgot their prejudices as to go to the Hotel Marshall to while away the hours, forgetting temporarily the decorum one is supposed to maintain afflicted with the "social equality" germ. The Hotel Marshall was the habitat of Cole and Johnson during their palmy days, when they were the most prominent song writers in the country. It was in their studio at the hotel that "The Congo Love Song" and other famous melodies were written. Such prominent theatrical lights as Elliott Russell, Marie Cahill and Blanche Ring visited the studio with friends in the interest of their musical numbers. It is said that Elsie Janis, who is now a star, was first taught to dance by "Bob" Cole when she was fourteen years old. Accompanied by her mother she visited the studio from time to time for instruction in the terpsichorean art. Donald Brian, of musical comedy fame, is also said to have been a pupil of Cole and Johnson. One hear's much talk nowadays, even in "Squeedunk," about the cabaret, but this form of entertainment was introduced at the Hotel Marshall many years before it came to New York as an imported product under the French nom de plume. Martin, Churchill, Sherry and others who now pay great attention to entertainment furnished by singers and musicians with meals and drinks, got the idea from the Hotel Marshall. When they heard so much about the high class entertainment provided by James L. Marshall they visited the Hotel Marshall and took notes. They noticed that the white patrons of the hotel enjoyed the singing and dancing as much as the colored, so they set to work to attract the white amusement seeker. Then colored entertainers were more in demand. Much more could be written about the Hotel Marshall showing, that it served as an instrument for good, but in the beginning I gave notice that this biography was to be short. And, furthermore, with all due respect to the late hotel, the world's series is being played, and any baseball fan knows what this means. And it is not out of order to finish this "biography" talking baseball, for the Hotel Marshall was the scene of heated baseball arguments every day of the season, and sometimes out of season.

Leubrie Hill has been rehearsing a large company, but not until a few days ago were definite conclusions reached with reference to the company going on the road. The company will open at the Lafayette Theatre the week of October 27. J. Leubrie Hill has gotten together a chorous far above the ordinary. In the cast will appear Julius Glenn, Theodore L. Pankey, Evon Robinson, Jennie Scheper and others. LAFAYETTE THEATRE One of the best bills in the history of the house was presented at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week. There was variety, all the turns succeeded as applause-getters and there was an absence of vulgar and suggestive jokes which was gratifying. The bill could have been more effectively arranged, there being no need of the two colored acts appearing in succession. Fritz's Dogs opened the show, putting the audience in a good humor with their near-human stunts. Murphy & Walker are two colored comedians who bear watching. They have an amusing assortment of jokes which they put over the footlights in their own way with success. They hold the audience with their songs and they also show up strong as dancers. Two funny comedians. Harrison Stewart has revamped and resouled his school act and it is stronger and more entertaining than before. The act was the hit of the bill, and several of the numbers were heartily enced. Mary Ray, who songs "All the Little Loving That I Had For You" should be permitted to sing a verse and chorus alone before the chorus shows activity. Then FIRST GRAN CLEF CLUB SYMPH James Reese Europe, Conductor. Academy of Music, Philadelphia Albaugh's Theatre, Baltimore City Auditorium, Richmond, Howard Theatre, Washington Hampton Institute, Hampton MANHATTAN CA Thursday Evening Maude Jones or some other singer should be given a song. This could be done by "amputating" some of the talk. Neil J. Sullivan & Co. have a dramatic playlet entitled "The Irish Millionaire," which is full of human interest. "The Girl," adapted as a scenic singing novelty helped greatly to give the bill tone: Tyler & Carr in a comedy act "A Comic Coincidence," in which they deal in automobile talk, apt to do the big time before many weeks. Ski it is well put together. Business at Lafayette is good. CRESCENT THEATRE. The argument advanced by experienced showmen that the success of a theatrical venture depends largely on "who's who" as manager is aptly illustrated in the case of the Crescent Theatre, which is now playing to large houses every evening. During the summer months the business fell off to such a perceptible extent that a change was made in the management and Henry Ostreicher was installed to run things. Business picked up from the beginning and it was not long before the receipts came up to the former mark. Now it is a difficult matter to get a seat during the evening performances. A good bill draw crowded houses the first half of the week. Williams & Stevens and Company were the hit of the bill in a humorous sketch which set everybody to laughing. Williams & Stevens are big favorites in 135th street. Joe Johnson has a good single turn. He insists on using the obnoxious term "migger" in his act, although if a white person were to address him as such he would become angry. If he wants to be respected he must first respect himself. Aerial Rozine and the Tilsons play a prominent part in making the bill a winner. Come Home TO THE GRFAT COLORED FAIR AT NEW BERN, N.C. NOVEMBER 4, 5, 6 and 7, 1913 Colonel JAS. R. GILLESPIE, Sec.

C.; Tom Dixon, the human vampire, "blowed" into town last Saturday along with his fearful "Leopard Spots," after having been extravagantly and sensationally advertised by his press agent for over two weeks before his appearance here. Having studied law in Greensboro some time during the 80's and forming quite an extensive acquaintance here during the period, he may naturally expect an overflow to greet him and to witness the rendition of his trash, misnamed a drama. "The AND TOUR OF HONY ORCHESTRA Wm. H. Tyers, Asst. Conductor Philia, Tuesday Eve., Nov. 4 e, Wednesday Eve., Nov. 5 Va., Thursday Eve., Nov. 6 m, D. C., Friday Eve., Nov. 7 , Va., Saturday Eve., Nov. 8 SINO, NEW YORK ag, November 13 Eric of the South," a "worthy successor to Uncle Tom's Cabin!" Notwithstanding his personal appearance here, to be sure that "The Leopard Spots" met with great success at the beginning of a five weeks' tour throughout North Carolina, lo and behold, when the curtain arose Saturday night there was scarcely a corporal's guard to see the play, so we are told. But read what the local white press has to say concerning Dixon and his so-called drama. The Daily News, the morning paper, says: "The Leopard's Spots." Thomas Dixon's latest play, was presented at the Grand Opera House last night. The play is a powerful assault on the present policy of the southern states, in educating the Negro, and Mr. Dixon supplemented it by boldly declaring in his speech before the curtain that we are in a fair way of destroying our civilization by educating the Negro "as you are at present educating him." It is based on the incident of the Wilmington riots, and presents the view of the more rapid anti-Negro agitators. If it were in New England it might possibly be taking a revolution to some people who are unfamiliar with conditions down here, but in the South, where race antagonism is necessarily strong anyway, its presence is inexplicable. The play is unjust to the Negro, in that it presents the editor, Harris, a friend incarnate, as a typical educated Negro, and makes the president of a Negro college that type of criminal that made lynch law inevitable. It is unjust to the South, in that it presents one of the few incidents of bloodshed that marred the greatest achievement of man—the conversion, without a widespread race war, of a menace to our civilization into a fairly stable element of our citizenship, and makes not the slightest reference to the forty years of peace that preceded and followed that incident. The Daily Record, the afternoon paper, gives him a swat in the following criticism: The audiences witnessing Thomas Dixon's play, "The Leopard's Spots," at the Grand Saturday afternoon and evening were somewhat disappointed with the production. The press agent for the company had widely-advertised the play as being full of dramatic scenes and climaxes and with tense moments sufficient to hold the rapt attention of the audience, causing the measure up to these claims. Interest in plays dealing with re- construction and racial problems is not acute in this city, where the most friendly relations have long existed between the white and Negro races, and many of those who saw "The Leopard's Spot" are free to admit that they can't see any good that might result from producing such a play in communities where good feeling exists between the races, as is the case in Greensboro. Notwithstanding that Carolina is dishonored in being the birthplace of such a character as Tom Dixon, we are glad to say that his own people take very little stock in him. For they are well acquainted with him, recalling especially his early manhood career, which redounded in no credit to himself, nor anyone else, for that matter, whom he tried to influence during that period of his public life. We are informed that since his departure from Greensboro with his play he has met with "a frost" in every other place in the State where he has presented it. If other places give him and his productions the same kind of welcome he got from his native State, Tom Dixon would soon have to be hunting another job for a livelihood. c. H. M. Philadelphia Nationals Lose; Walter Johnson Defeated. Sunday two exhibition games were played in the State of New York which have set the fans to arguing as to the relative strength of some of our colored baseball clubs as compared with the big league teams. At Schenectady the Mohawk Giants defeated a team composed of big leaguers, with Walter Johnson, the pitching sensation of the American League, doing the twirling. The Lincoln Giants defeated the Philadelphia Nationals, with Alexander in the box. Wickware of the Mohawks opposed Walter Johnson, and the score ended 1 to 0. This fact was not recorded by some of the daily papers. Alexander looked like any other pitcher of the Lincoln Giants, and he was batted hard. On the other hand, the professionals could do nothing with Williams. The score ended 9 to 2. The Lincolns have played 107 games and won 101.

SUSPENDED BY PASTOR, WRITES OPEN LETTER quired to be attached to all checks drawn against the church's bank account, and he was also required to attend to the banking of the church's money, in association with the secretary of the trustee board and the pastor. The immediate cause of the pastor's action in suspending the officer is alleged to be the retusal of Sockum to sign a check on Sunday, August 10, for $50 which had been deposited in one bank and which the pastor wanted to transfer to another bank. Mr. Soakum has written an open letter to the presiding elder, pastor and congregation, in which he gives his side of the controversy, and in which he explains the alleged animus behind his suspension. In this letter he says: Sockum'a Open Letter I have always been a church man and not a minister's man, and I think, judging from the pastor's previous actions, that that is his reason for wanting me out of the way. The Rev. Mr. West stated that "Iroo Sockum positively refused to sign a check so I could get $50 behead Bro. Dougherty had put into the Claremont Bank so I could bank it with the Lincoln Trust Co. which the board had voted to be done." "I claim that I was right in refusing to sign. He produced a paper Sunday morning, August 10, claiming to be a result in passed at a regular meeting of the trustees on August 8 to change the name of A. L. Cornish to that of Wm. Dougherty on the banking committee at Lincoln Trust Co. That paper could not have been true for there was no meeting of the board of trustees on that date. But the regular meeting on the board was to be held Wednesday, August 13, and as president of the board of trustees I said we would act on it then. Notwithstanding that he had repeatedly described attending to business on Sunday, saying it was not right and would not be legal, the pastor demanded immediate action on this matter. He put it to a vote, some of the men voted, and he declared it passed. Then he had the men vote to change the money as aforesaid, after which he demanded of me a check for $50. I refused to sign the check, as it was Sunday. He stated that his wife was sick and he wanted to take her away Monday morning, so as a member of the banking committee I offered to take the money he had in hand, $59, draw the $50 from the Claremont Bank on Monday, and deposit the entire amount, $109, with the Lincoln Trust Co. This he refused to agree to, saying he would not leave town, until the money was put away safely. As he seemed to imply that Dougherty and myself were dishonest I told him to wait until Monday night and go with us to the bank and get the money. As a matter of fact if I had signed the check Sunday night I do not see how he could have drawn, the money from the Claremont Bank and redeposited it in the Lincoln Trust on Monday, because he said he intended leaving with his wife for Washington, D. C., on the Jersey Central train leaving Jackson avenue station at 9.30 a.m., and the bank did not open until 9 o'clock. So it appears that he would have had to take the money with him to Washington and it would not have been deposited until his return." Mr. Sockum charges that because he disagrees with the pastor's autocratic and czar-like administration he incurred his dislike and the suspension was caused by malice. He says the pastor's report made in April at the close of the church year, declared the church owed him nothing on the year just ended. The pastor attended the annual conference at Atlantic City. According to Mr. Sockum, the pastor intended returning to Jersey City on Saturday of conference week to see about his children, but a Mr. Simmons died that week, and as the family wanted Dr. West to attend the funeral, he came back Friday, remaining over for the morning service Sunday. The collection that day went to the pastor, it being steward's day. Mr. Sockum says that the following Sunday when he made inquiry about that collection to enter it on the books the pastor demanded that it be applied on the year already ended. This Sockum objected to, as the church owed the pastor nothing. Then, says Sockum, Dr. West demanded that $5 be deducted for his fare to and from Atlantic City. Mr. Sockum claims this was not right, as the man who died was not a member of Bethel and Dr. West was coming anyway on personal business. The brother of the deceased man gave him $2, Mr. Sockum claims, and the clerical fare would only amount to $320. Mr. Soekum, in his letter, refers to several other occasions when he came in conflict with Dr. West in financial matters, which increased the pastor's antagonism against him. He claims also that he was not allowed a chance to state his side of the case, as the presiding elder ruled him out of order when he tried to show why the pastor held machee against him. He is sore because of the ingratiation shown, as he says that even under the present pastor's administration he has loaned his personal money to meet obligations of the church, and that a considerable sum due him for money loaned under previous administrations for work done and for ice and coal furnished the church, remains unpaid. It is probable that the matter will be appealed to the annual conference and that Mr. Soekum will fight for reinstatement as a matter of principle. PROVIDENCE R. I Providence, R. L.

Since from earth you passed away And my heart is acting sorrowly As I think of you each day. Farewell dear son, is an awful word Which pierces a mother's heart, But, O, it is the will of God, Our dearest one must part. Gone from earth, ye, gone forever, Tear dimmed eyes I shall gaze in vain, I shall bear his voice, no, never, Never more on earth again. How sadly I have counted the hours That measured one sorrowful year Since they laid him near a mantle of flowers, My boy I loved no dear.
