MORE ELOQUENT THAN PRACTICAL
Some Massachusetts Citizens Practice Not What They Preach
Advocators of Fair Play For Negroes Show Their "Consistency" by Employing White Stenographers, Etc.
SEVERAL CONTRADICTIONS
Worked For Election of Woodrow Wilson;
New Looking For Financial Aid to Fight
Segregation at Washington.
Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 11—Now that the State election is over, Massachusetts is beginning to settle down to its usual routine of life, but this will not be of long duration, for very soon the municipal elections will be upon us. We here in Massachusetts are rather full of eccentricities and contradictions. This is not only so with the Afro-American, but with our white brother as well. Let me illumine this point: Not many moons ago a meeting was held in one of the important church houses, protesting against the segregation of the race in the departments at Washington. There were important and eloquent speeches, but it so happens that not one of the individuals who spoke is setting an example in his own office or in his own business by employing colored people.
Strange as it may appear, the secretary of the "Prevention of Cruelty to Colored People in Boston," who was one of the most active figures in the meeting mentioned, himself employs a white stenographer or clerk, despite the fact that he himself is an Afro-American. In this instance the secretary of this organization not only equals President Wilson, but goes him one further. President Wilson and his associates at Washington do employ colored people and permit them to earn their bread and butter, but in the case of Mr. Butler Wilson, the secretary of this organization, he does not even give a colored stenographer or helper a chance to earn a dollar, which is worse than segregation.
Colored Lawyers of Boston Hire White
Stenographers.
So far as a hasty investigation serves, not one of the fifteen or twenty colored lawyers in Boston employs a colored stenographer. They preach about segregation at Washington, but set the example themselves here in Boston. It would be reiterated that while the Wilson administration is in favor of putting Negro clerks off in a corner to them selves, nevertheless it does give them a chance to earn a living. Our friends both white and black, here in Boston, of whom we have spoken, do not seem willing to give them a chance to earn a living.
Good friends of ours in Boston like Mr. Moretley Storey, Mr. Garrison, Mr. Pillbury and others cannot understand what a rebuff they would give President Wilson and his cohorts at Washington if they were to set an example by employing a few colored men and women in their own offices. This is contradiction No. 1.
Now for contradiction No. 2. It is within the memory of many of the younger and oldest citizens of the "Hub" that one Trotter, together, with Mr. DuBois, and Mr. Waldron of Washington, was insistently active during the last campaign in advising all Afro-Americans to vote for Woodrow Wilson. He urged them to put him in office because it was said that he would prove the saviour of the Afro-American race.
It was often stated to Hon. Trotter by a number of citizens of Boston and Massachusetts that he was making a mistake in giving this advice, but Mr. Trotter replied that he had read ancient history and that he was a graduate of Harvard University, and that his advice ought to be taken. On many occasions Mr. Trotter passed the hat in order to further the cause of Wilson's election.
Now this same Trotter is on the back of every individual whom he can reach in Boston, and is occupying a goodly portion of his time in calling meetings at which the hat is persistently and regularly passed for the purpose of getting money to enable him to go to Washington to prevent Woodrow Wilson and his Democratic cohorts from turning Afro-Americans out of office and otherwise humiliating them. So much for contradiction No. 2.
Afro-Americans, however, here in Boston and elsewhere, are getting wise. It is not so easy to humbug them as years ago. They are becoming tired of Mr. Trotter and his ilk. They are dying in no uncertain terms that if Mr. Trotter's judgement was not good in advising Negroes to vote for Woodrow Wilson they cannot follow his judgment now to give him money to prevent President Wilson from doing the very things that Democratic administrations have done all along.

TWO WHITE RRUTES
NAVISH COLORED GIRL
Elizabeth Maceo Jeter, 14 years
old, a little colored girl living at 3140
Heath avenue, Kingsbridge, was the
victim of a most dastardly outrage
on the evening of Thursday, November
6, when she was attacked at the
corner of 238th street and Bailey avenue,
forcibly carried into the woods
and outraged by Joe Vitz, Station
place, and John Cusheu, 3031 Collier
avenue, Kingsbridge, two white men,
both married.
The little girl is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Jeter, who conduct a newsstand at the elevated station at 238th street and Broadway. After school she spent the afternoon at the stand, leaving there about 6 o'clock for their home. The road is well lighted, but lonesome, and there is a stretch of woods on one side of the road at 238th street and Bailey avenue. The two men, who are neighbors of the Jeter family and well known in the community, evidently knew that the child passed that way en route home and lay in wait. When she was seized she made a desperate night, but it was comparatively easy for the ruffians to overpower her, and they stifled a cap which one of them was wearing into her mouth to shut off her cries. After accomplishing their hellish purpose they fled, leaving the child unconscious in the woods.
After about an hour she regained consciousness and made her way home, reaching there about 7.30 o'clock, when she told her family what had happened. The authorities were notified and the family physician called in. She has been under medical treatment ever since and is still in a bad condition.
Police Seek to Shield Ruffians.
One of the policemen of the district came to the house and the child told him of the attack, naming the men who did it. The policeman assumed an attitude of doubt and refused to take any steps looking toward the arrest of the men. Detective Myers of the Bronx Precinct was put on the case, and he, too, the family claim, tried to cast a doubt on the girl's story, saying the men she accused could not be guilty. No attempt was made by either the policeman or the detective to apprehend the men who were positively identified and named by the child. On the contrary both the officers, according to the family, endeavored to weaken the childs' identification of the brutes.
Next morning Mr. Jeter, the child's father, visited the scene of the outrage and found the cap worn by one of the men, which has been identified by neighbors. Failing to secure action by the officers of the Bronx Station, the family enlisted the services of Miss Grace Campbell, probation officer, who promptly notified the Gary Society, which sent three detectives to apprehend the accused men. These detectives reached Kingsbridge Saturday night, but it is claimed that the men had been advised of their coming and so could not be found. The Gary Society men are making a diligent search for them and it is only a matter of a day or two, it is thought, before they will be arrested.
In the struggle the child was severely bruised about the throat and body, her clothes were nearly torn off her, she lost her school books and her pocket book which contained $4 disappeared also. The Jeter family is the only colored family in the neighborhood. Mr. Jeter is an extensive property owner. The people of the community are highly incensed and indignant at the treatment to which the child was subjected. The accused man are married, one of them being the father of several children. One of them is an expressman and has done considerable business for Mr. Jeter. The wife of one of the men has said, it is reported, that her husband was mixed up in a similar case some time ago.
District Attorney Whitman's office has been made acquainted with the facts in the case and a complaint has been entered against the policeman and detective who by refusing to promptly arrest the men accused allowed them an opportunity to get away. The case will be pushed by Mr. Jeter with all possible rigor.
ANNUAL MASQUERADE OF THE.LUCY LANEY LEAGUE.
A necessary postponement and many conflicting entertainments combined to lessen the usual attendance, but the fourth annual Halloween masquerade and civic party at Manhattan Casino Friday evening. November 7, was one of the most enjoyable and memorious entertainments ever given by the Lucy Laney League, of which Charles C. Davis is the energetic and funning president.
It was a select and appreciative set of folks who gathered to enjoy the evening's entertainment, which included a program of excellence under the management of Miss. Wilhelmina G. Rowe, a costume contest in which cash prizes amounting to $10 were awarded for the most artistic and most grotesque costumes, and dancing to music furnished by the New Amsterdam Orchestra.
Dancing was enjoyed until 11 o'clock, when the program was given. Numbers were as follows. Reading, Miss W. G. Rowe; solo, "Good Night, Beloved, Good Night," Larry Chambers, baritone; soko, "Peg o' Me Heart," and "The Curse of an Aching Heart." Miss Clarissa D. Rowe; specialty, John Morse, comedian; solos, Mme. Emma Delyon Leonard, soprano; dramatic reading "The King's Food" H. L. Pryor, Mme.

Squire Garnett Largest Negro Contributor to Date of Joint Campaign
UNUSUAL INTEREST SHOWN
Campaign is on in Earnest with 250 Men and Women Systematically Working Among Colored Citizens.
Two hundred and fifty men and women gathered at dinner Tuesday evening at 6:45 o'clock in the Lafayette Hall; 2243 Seventh avenue, to receive final instructions in the joint campaign to raise $400,000 for the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations. The colored associations will be allotted $250,000 of this fund and the colored citizens were asked to contribute $50,000.
The two hundred and fifty men and women make up a corps of volunteer workers under J. E. Moorland, international secretary, who has charge of the campaign, and they begin this week their active canvass for funds. The dinner Tuesday evening at which they received instructions was the beginning of a series of dinners to be served every evening at the same hour and place, at which time the workers will assemble to report the day's progress and to receive further instructions.
Great enthusiasm was aroused by the announcement that the first thousand dollars contributed to the colored women's branch was the gift of a Negro, Squire Garnett, who is employed as a butler by Judge McLean, corner 5th avenue and 130th street. Mr. Garnett, in his capacity as butler, heard the addresses at a meeting held in the residence of his employer in the interest of the colored women's branch of the Y. W. C. A., one of which was made by Mrs. R. C. Ransom. His interest being aroused he inquired if he could contribute. Upon receiving information that he could be informed Miss Grace Dodge, one of the prominent white workers, that he would give $1,000 for the colored women.
Campaign Headquarters in Lafayette.
In addition to canvassing for funds each of the volunteer workers, it is understood, has personally pledged to contribute $5. There will be twenty-five teams of ten each, ten composed of women, with a woman as captain, and fifteen composed of men with a man as captain. Beginning November 10 the campaign will continue until November 24. Each solicitor will be given a card of authority to solicit and a systematic canvass will be made.
Campaign headquarters have been opened at Lafayette Hall, 2243 Seventh avenue, with J. E. Moorland in charge. T. J. Bell, secretary of the colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A., and Miss Gertrude E. James, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. are assisting. An office force of five stenographers and typewriters and two helpers is employed in

charge of Elise Blandorf, assistant to Mr. Beck.
A meeting was held last Sunday afternoon at Lafayette Hall which was attended by from five to six hundred people, many being turned away from the doors. Secretary Bell introduced Dr. Moorland, who gave an illustrated talk on the association work, its growth and progress in the country, covering nine building fund campaigns which he had conducted to completion in Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Kansas City and Cincinnati. The New York City campaign is the tenth, and is

The building for the women will be the first model Y. W. C. A. building for colored women in the world. The colored men will be given $150,000 and the women $100,000. Julius Rosenwald, president of the Sear-Roebuck Co., Chicago, is giving $25,000 to each fund. He has an offer of $25,000 to any city raising $75,000 for a Y. M. C. A., and Dr. Moorland has secured this amount for the nine cities mentioned above. The program was interspersed with "songs in the dark," words being projected upon the screen and sung by the audience. Addresses were also made by Dr. W. H. Brooks, Dr. E. P. Roberts and Mrs. R. C. Ransom. Other meetings will be held-Sundays, November 17 and 24.

COLORED VOTERS PLAN TO MAINTAIN LEAGUE
Movement to Get Proper Representation Said to Have Been Just Begun
ROYALL MADE FINE SHOWING
More than 1600 Negroes Voted for Real Estate Dealer Notwithstanding Contrary Reports.
The Negro Civic League will hold a post election mass meeting at Thomas Hall, 89 West 134th street. Friday night, November 14, to report results of the campaign of its president, John M. Royall, candidate, for Alderman in the election held Tuesday, November 4. At this meeting arrangements will also be made looking to the holding of regular meetings of the league and the extension of its usefulness and activity through the other districts of the city and through the State at large.
A permanent organization will be effected. Headquarters have been established at 21 West 134th street. Books of enrollment will be opened and all men and women of the race who have its best interests at heart are urged to join in this movement for civil emancipation.
Notwithstanding contrary reports which have been circulated, an incomplete report from the canvassing board on the result of the late election shows that John M. Royall received 1,242 votes for Alderman, and that 383 defective votes were cast, most of which were for him, giving him a total of more than 1,600 votes. The record shows also that in the districts populated by Negro voters, Mr. Royall received the large majority of votes cast, in some instances his majority being three or four to one against his opponents.
Majority of Colored Citizens Indorse Plans.
It is brought out by leading spirits of the Negro Civic League that the showing made in this election by the Negro voters of Harlem is an indication why the league should become the standard bearer of the Negroes of New York, regardless of party lines. It is stated also that the league has the active endorsement and cooperation of 95 percent of the Negro business and professional men and Negro corps of New York.
As a representative called on Mr. Royall and found him at his desk in his real estate office, actively engaged in winding up the affairs of the campaign and in picking up the threads of the extensive business. Speaking of the fit for representation, he said that though the campaign had entailed great financial sacrifice and caused neglect of business, yet he was pleased to have been the first to initiate the movement for elective representation to the race by the vote of the people. His campaign, he said, was based on the will of the people and that all true leaders are
CAN'T CHANGE BASIS
OF REPRESENTATION.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 12.—At a meeting of the Law Committee of the Republican National organization, held in this city Tuesday, the committee decided that there is no power in the Republican National Committee to change the basis of representation in the Republican National Convention. This question rose in connection with a demand by progressive Republicans who held a conference in Chicago last June that the basis of representation be changed to cut down the number of delegates from the Southern States. After this problem was disposed of the law committee unanimously agreed that there is a power vested in the Republican National Committee to call a National convention to meet any time between the regular quadrennial Presidential conventions. This decision, it is generally accepted among Republicans, will lead to the calling of a National convention maybe early in the spring or summer of next year in time to have its influence felt on the Congressional elections next fall for the purpose of taking steps to reorganize and rehabilitate the Republican party.
Charles B. Warren, of Michigan, presided at the meeting as chairman of the law committee. He held the proxy also of Senator Jones of Washington, who was unable to be present. The other members of the committee are Sherman Granger, Ohio; James A. Fowler, Tennessee; Congressman James R. Mann, Illinois, and Rev. C. West of Illinois. These were all present. Since the committee was created E. E. Olmsted of Pennsylvania has died and Chairman Warren has appointed former Solicitor-General W. A. Bullitt of Kentucky to succeed him. Mr. Bullitt was not able to reach Washington, being snowbound.
BALTIMORE HAS A NEW SEGREGATION LAW
Special to THE NEW YORK AGLE
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 11.—The First Branch of the City Council passed the amended segregation law Saturday, defining "white" and "colored" blocks. The amended measure was promptly signed by Mayor Preston. It provides that colored churches, dance halls, schools, etc., shall not be located in "white" blocks, and vice versa. Councilman Harry S. Cummings, in recording his vote against the ordinance, said that it, like its predecessors, would be declared invalid, thus requiring many more attempts with doubtful success before any law can hope to accomplish the declared purpose of these segregation ordinances.
Councilman A. C. Binswanger also declared that if it were possible to pass a race segregation ordinance, one for those of different creeds could also be enacted.
As happened when the last measure was passed, Councilman Hildebrand, a Republican, was absent when the final vote was taken.
There has been only one arrest for a violation of the last ordinance. This was in the case of a white man who had leased a house in a "white" block and turned it over to one of his colored employees, rent free. The case was promptly dismissed by Magistrate U. rich

PATHETIC SCENE AT WHITE HOUSE
Negro Democrats Feelingly Remind the President of Broken Promises
Seems to be More Cognizant of Affairs Going on in Mexico Than in Departments at Washington.
Once Upon a Time Colored Men Could See the President Without Having to Use Influence of Congressmen.
Special to The New York Ace:
Washington, D. C., Nov. 12—On Thursday, November 6, a pathetic scope was enacted at the White House. President Woodrow Wilson and Negro Democrats who a year ago were singing his praises were principals. The Chief Executive booked solemn and the countenances of the members of the delegation of colored citizens were downcast and sad. There were tense moments when it seemed that tears would be plentifully shed, but by a heroic effort the stout-hearted men succeeded in refraining from giving a lachrymal exhibition in such historic surroundings. "Colored" tears in the White House! What would Vardaman and his clan have said?
The delegation of colored citizens represented the National Independent Political League, which organization worked enthusiastically for the election of Woodrow Wilson for President. During the campaign members of the race were told by these warm Wilson supporters that if the Democrats were voted into power many important changes would happen in which the colored citizens would be directly affected. Wilson was elected and their words came true.
Finally Succeed in Seeing Wilson.
So after many unsuccessful attempts to see the President an audience was finally arranged, thanks to kindly-disposed Congressmen, and Mr. Wilson condescended to hear what his colored admirers had to say. But, alas! No longer did they smother him with profuse compliments and promuliam him a true friend of the race. The diplomatically charged him with insincerity and accused him of sanctioning "Jim Crowson" in the various departments of the United States Government. The spokesman of the party quoted a letter which Mr. Wilson had written before election, as follows:
It is my earnest wish to see justice done colored people in every matter, and not more grudging justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every principle of our Constitution commands this, and our sympathies should also make it easy.
The President was informed that fairer words were never written and their readers could not possibly have expected their author to countenance the institution of any new policy in his own branch of the Government, now admittedly based on racial prejudice. Secretary McAdoo had required separate eating tables and had established a "Jim Crow" system in the Auditor's rooms of the Postoffice Department, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and elsewhere.
It is said that the President at first evinced much surprise that such un-American methods were being employed in the United States Government, and he first seemed to doubt if "Jim Crowism" had been officially sanctioned. On his face was an unmistakable expression of grief that the Government should be so disgraced. Mr. Wilson was handed a copy of an order issued by the Auditor for the Interior Department which was specific in demanding that separate lavatories be used by colored and white clerks. Other "Jim Crow" literature printed by the United States Government was submitted to President Wilson for perusal.
Not a Smile to be Seen.
By this ting not a pleasant face was to be seen. Cleverfulness was as source as an atom of radium. The President of the United States did not appear to be as well informed on the "Jim Crowism" of colored American citizens by the United States Government as he does on the Mexican situation, confessing that perhaps he was not well posted on the matter. He promised to investigate conditions and appeared to be hopeful of finding a solution to "Jim Crowism" that would be satisfactory to all concerned. This, of course, included John Skeleton Williams, Vardaman, Tillman and Hoke Smith.
The delegation left with the President a petition signed by Negro citizens protesting against secreration, and after a parting which seemed to give much pain (to Wilson) the party slowly left the White House, feeling that the National Independent Political League had merely made amends for advising
colored voters to rally round Woodrow Wilson for President of the United States. During the days of Roosevelt and Taft the noisiest members of the National Independent Political League sought to disparage the "Black Cabinet, which always fought any attempts at discrimination in the departments and were at all times successful. And although they were colored men they did not find it difficult to get an audience with the President, nor was it necessary to be near a member of Congress to make an appointment with the Chief Executive. Since the visit of the delegation to the White House last week colored residents here are saying that the name of the National Independent Political League should be changed to the National Dependent Political League.
FIRE DOES·DAMAGE AT SHAW UNIVERSITY
Special to THE NEW YORK ACE
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 11.-Fire destroyed the chemical and biological laboratory of the Leonard Medical College here Saturday, wrecking the annex to Shaw University and rendering useless all instruments.

Leonard is one of the best known Negro medical colleges in the South and was given by Julian Wade Leonard. New York philanthropist, who made it a portion of the Baptist work among North Carolina Negroes. The loss has not been estimated, but may be held within $25,000.
WANTS WHIPPING IN DELAWARE STOPPED.
Washington, D.C. Nov. 12.—The shipping of two Delaware Negro convicts at Newcastle last Saturday brought a resolution from Repres-ative Evans of Montana Tuesday proposing that Attorney-General McKeynolds bring injunction proceedings against the State of Delaware to enforce the constitutional prohibition against "eruel and inhuman punishment." Congressman Evans expected his resolution to save the convicts from being whipped again next Saturday and to prevent such punishments elsewhere. Mr. Mann, the Republican leader, expressed the opinion that the question was too important to be decided in a quorumless House and blocked the resolution by adjournment.

WOMAN FURRIER HAS A
PROSPEROUS BUSINESS
Beginning business five years ago in the dining room of her apartment at 24 West 135th street, Mrs. G. B. Needles, the only woman furrier in New York who is a practical expert, knowing the entire trade, and capable of making a fur garment from the raw skins to the last finishing process, now occupies a commodious store and work rooms at 2297 Seventh avenue. Here fur garments of all kinds are made, from new or old skins, and old furs are dyed, repaired or remodeled.
Until last year Mrs. Needles did all of the work, but increased patronage based on satisfactory work necessitated the employment of help and she now has a force of two expert furriers besides herself. She started at the trade when only 14 years old, in Philadelphia, and finished under one of the best furriers of New York. There is no branch of the trade in which she is not efficient, and her work in dyeing, repairing, remodeling or in creating new designs, has built up a trade that is its own advertisement, and which is constantly increasing. In fact, even with her increased force, she finds it impossible to keep up with her orders. Fur coats to the value of $1500 are entrusted to her for repairing and her customers come from some of the wealthiest families of the city.
The workshop is equipped with everything necessary to the doing of first class work, one of the principal achines being an Osann fur machine.
DR. CARRINGTON TELLS
WHY HE LEAVES YONKER
Dr. W: O. Carrington has written a letter to The Age in which he explains why he will leave the pastorate of the Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, Yonkers, to resume his duties on the faculty of Livingston College, Salisbury, N. C. He states that he was temporarily released from his duties at that school in order to fill the pulpit made vacant by the refusal of the Rev. R. M. Bolden to accept the appointment made by Bishop Hood.
He says in his letter: "At that time it could not be foreseen that an emergency demanding my presence at the college would so soon arise. But the unforeseen happened and this accounts for my abrupt cessation of work at this charge. . . The relations between myself and the members of Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church and the good people of
Yonkers generally have been the happiest and most cordial and it is with the deepest and sincerest regret on both sides that our relationship must be severed by circumstances which neither party can control. During my brief pastorate here I have received the hearty and cordial co-operation and support of the people, and the joy and satisfaction in our fellowship and collaboration in the service of our common Lord and Master have been mutual, and while we have not been making much noise our united efforts in this direction have been crowned with considerable success."
ASHEVILLE Y. M. C. A. IS
AIDED BY VANDERBILT
Special to THE NEW YORK AUCK
ASHENVILLE, N. C., NO. 11.—In 1891
George W. Vanderbilt erected the Young
Men's Institute at a cost of $32,500 for
the use of the colored people in Asheville,
N. C., and vicinity. For a number
of years he met all of the shortage
in running expenses, but in the fall of 1905
he stated to the officials, through his
representative, that he would be glad to
deed the property to them for the sum
of $12,400, donating the balance of the
original price of $32,500. This offer was
to hold good till the first day of May,
1900.
The proposition seemed at first to be an impossible task. Only 6,000 colored people lived in Asheville at that time woman and children. Nevertheless, the leaders of the race got busy, and at the expiration of the time had raised $2,500 in cash. When this was made known to Mr. Vanderbilt he took off $2,000, requiring the Negroes to pay him $10,880. On June 9, 1900, a loan was secured on the property of $8,000 and Mr. Vanderbilt paid in full. Since that time till last month the struggle has been to pay off the mortgage, which was done two weeks ago.
The Y. M. L. was not under the direction of the Y. M. C. during the management and ownership of the Vanderbilt estate, but it was at once connected with the Colored Men's Department when it came into the hands of the colored people. The best white people of the city helped materially, and the daily papers not only opened their columns to the appeals, but wrote strong editorials on the line work done by the institution. This was especially true of the Asheville Daily Citizen. The colored people had practically ten years wherein to clear off the debt, but they went to work with energy and determination. They were materially helped by W. J. Trent, former secretary of the Asheville Y. M. L. and now secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Atlanta, Ga. His successor, N. M. Martin, worked steadily and faithfully. All other officials of the organization, and the members generally pushed on without faltering.
Dr. J. W Walker, one of the leading physicians of the race, who is now creating a fine sanitarium for tubercular patients is the present president and was the president when the property was bought in 1906. He was the largest colored contributor to the fund Associated with him are the Rev. C B Dusenbury, Prof. J. H Michael, Dr. W G. Torrence, Alex. Blackwell, Chas Howell, John Nipson, Jr., Kay Palmer Alonzo McCoy, Simon Green, Noah Murrough, Prof. W. S. Lee and Christopher Jackson The leading spirit among the good women were Mrs. Maggie Jones, and Mrs. Hester Lee N. M. Martin, the present general secretary, has successfully managed the work for the last two years.

THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1913
Uless the officials of Kansas University recede from their narrow and ridiculous stand and agree to Clinton Ross, the crack guard of Nebraska University, participating in the Nebraska-Kansas match scheduled to be played November 15, the two elevens will not meet this year. Chancellor Avery of Nebraska, says no color line shall be drawn at the Nebraska University, and at a meeting of the Board of Regents was instrumental in passing a rule that the right of students at Nebraska University to participate in any athletic contest, inter-collegiate or otherwise, shall not be abridged on account of race or color, and Nebraska will not remain in any athletic association or conference where such right is denied.

Nebraska University and Chancellor Avery are to be congratulated for standing by Clinton Ross and the colored students of the institution. It seems that education, at some institutions, proves more harmful than helpful. Kansas University and its teachings are truly farcial and absurd. The Kansas University team can play an Indian eleven but objects to meeting a football eleven composed of ten white players and one colored player. What rot!

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

FUTURE OF NEGRO EPISCO.
PALIANS.
The recem meeting of the triennia’
convention of the Protestant Episcopa
Church iw New York was characterizeé
-in its delfeerations throughout by such
wide difference between High and Low
Churchmem as to the name, administra
tion and policy of the church as to lea¢
to the coactusion by outside observer:
that one or more splits in the church
body are mat only probable but inevitable
in the future, A large body of dele-
gates desired to change the name of the
church te the American Catholic Church,
and this was prevented only hy the play-
ing of such astute church politics as are
commonly practiced in political gather-
ings. The (wo main groups were di-
vided among themselves into smaller
groups, and the proceedings read in the
daily newspapers more like a war of
words amd strategy to gain advantage
than like the wise, brotherly delibera-
tions of one of the oldest church bodies
in the United States, if not the oldest,
having its parentage from the Estab
Tished Cheech of England among the
earliest of the colonists from the mother
country.
Next in importance as a bone of con-
tention in the convention, after that of
changing of the ame, of the church, was
that of the race question. The discus-
sion of the latter question was all the
more interesting because of the absence
of Negroes ‘from membership in the
convention and the consequent promi-
nence of Southern white churchmen as
spokesmen of their. side of the ques-
tion,. if not the Negro’s side. These
Southern white churchmen, like South-
ern white politicians, think so very rap-
idly on the Nezro question as‘to be, for
the most part, too far behind or before
it_as to be in any sympathetic touch
with it _
Two of the Southern hishops openly
insulted some two thousand Negro Epis-
copalians in public church meeting in
St, John’s Church by openly declaring
that the ballot was given to the Negroes
ti enon and that they are’incapable of
vsine it, and that Negré Episcopalian:
are not yet prepared to govern them:
selves in missionary districts and with
missionary bishops. in the face af the
fact that Rislion Ferguson of Africa
was present, that the [ate Rishop Holly
of Haiti did a great. good and lasting
deacons ia thie country ‘are doing, act-
ably im Virginia and Florida.
) The educational ‘and moral reqdre-
ments of the Protestant Episcopal
Church are so exacting of candidates
for the priesthood that those who qual-
ify are necessarily eligible to election
as bishops when time-has enlarged and
matured their knowledge and ennobled
their morality. It works that way with
white priests and should with black and
colored ones.
It is a high-handed business when a
church convention draws thé color line
on a large body of its membership at
the communion table and in ‘the church
pews, and at the same time denies them
the separate diocessan _ government
granted the whites, and stigmatizes its

On the Inst day of the convention,
Saturday, October 25, the New York
‘Sun published the following as the out-
‘come of the contention on the race ques-
tion:
“The House of Bishops passed an
amendment to the constitution of the
‘Church which makes possible the crea-
tion of racial missionary districts. Such
action was recommended in a minority
committee report presented to the depu-
ties a few days ago. The deputies re-
fused ‘to adopt the report and, solved
upon the-appointment of a commission
to study the question for the next three
years. The Bishops refused to concur
in this action, and the House of Deputies
refused yesterday to concur in the resu-
lution of the Bishops, As the matter
rests ow the same result is obtained
as would have been obtained if the
House of Deputies had adopted the ma-
jority committee report. which asked
‘that the committee be discharged from
further consideration of the question.”
Of course. it should -be understood
that the creation of racial missionary
districts would carry with it the selee-
tion of Negro bishops to rule over them,
This was the straw that broke “the
camel's back. The contention fur the
concession is of long standing and con-
troversy, and is bound to come up again
in the convention three years from now.
Like the same controversy in the white
Methodist Episcopal Church. it never
grows old, never gets tired, and never
gets near enough to a satisfactary solu-
tion to encourage those who desire and
deserve a solution of it, Truly. “hope
‘Asferred maketh the heart sick.”

White Citizen Makes Plea for Colored
School.
Ty the Editor of Tux Ace:
The State Industrial School for Col
ered People, located at Winston-Salem
N.C. is doing a great work for the
Negro race. Educating and elevating
the colored’ people to good citizenshig
is not a local matter, but a national one
1t is positively the only solution of the
race problem. The influence of the
school for good is beyond calculation:
the proof of this fact is seen in. the
blotting out all race friction in-the cont
munity in which it is located.
The institution is not an experiment.
but a. splendid reality, being as_ impor.
tant as any in the entire South for col-
Fored people, save perhaps only Hampton
or Tuskegee. The lands, buildings, ap-
pliances, etc. cost about $50,000. Onc
Citizen tendered the trustees $5,000, pro-
vided they would raise the same amount
ior a hospital for the sick and where
colored girls could be educated for
trained nurses. His offer was accented,
and a splendid hospital hac been built
‘The students of the school did much
toward its erection.
The State Legislature. seeing the good
influence of the school throughout the
State, offered the trustees $12,000, pro:
vided they would raise the same amount:
They must have outside aid to mee
this offer. as they have taxed themselves

the city, and delivered addresses at sev-
eral gatherings.
‘He was the principal speaker at a
rally held at Payne Memorial A. M, E
Church in the interest of the Y. M. CA.
He declared that the Ys M. CA. work
was one of great importance in the
moral uplift of the young men of the
country: especially those who had mi-
grated to the large cities. He urged
his hearers to leave no stone unturned
to see that the vast numbers of young
men living in urban communities should
have the fullest opportunities for moral
development. :
In an address before the Christian
Endeavor Society of the Pennsylvania
Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church he urged
that home training of the proper sort
was a glaring need for thousands.
“The parents of to-day,” he said, “have

is to still make progress in spite of the

pod home training and the spiritual
uplift of the -men and women of the

must still worship God.”
He closed by asserting that the Jews

THEATRICAL COMMENT.
g (By LESTER A. WALTON.)
BF atid down our streets, highway
‘and byways, newspaper writers proce:
to tellsus of the appearance of the har
bingers of spring. No matter how cok
the weather or deep the snow, we an
reminded ofthe approach of balm:
spring. During the past two week:
harbingers of better times to come fo
the colored theatrical profession wer
flashed across the horizon of the work
of make believe. Maybe these fore
Tunners of more favorable theatrica
Conditions were only flashes in the pat
or as inconsequential as snow flurrie
and April showers; yet we have rgasor
to be more hopeful than a month ago.
The, remarkable two weeks’ engage:
ment of J. Leubrie Hill's My. Frien¢
From Kentucky Company at tp Lafay-
ette Theatre, New York City, and the
big business done by a traveling vaude-
ville organization headed by Aida Over.
ton Walker at the Pekin Theatre, Chi-
cago, are surely harbingers of better
times for the colored theatrical profes-
sion. The successful appearance of these
two colored attractions at what are
known as two “colored” houses is sig-
nifcamt. . .
Both attractions were, largely sup-
Porfed by the colored theatregoers be-
cause they contained merit and struck
the public’s tancy. and by patronizing
‘these shows: in such large numbers the
aterling worth of the: colored theatre-
fgoer_ was, strongly emphasized and the
stock of our colored citizens as sup-
Porters of colored theatrical offerings
has taken quite an upward bound in the
estimation of managers and theatrical
folk along the Rialto. °
During the two wecks' run of the
My Friend From Kentucky Company at
the Lafayette Theatre the show ap-
peared twice daily, matinee and evening,
and at every performance did capacity
business. Nine-tenths of the. audience
were at all times made up of colored
people. This is a record that has never
been hung up before in Harlem. Last
week a vaudeville company, with Aida
Overton Walker as the principal attrac
tion, packed the Pekin Theatre, Chi-
cago, at every show. Business was 20
wood that the company was held over
for another week. It has been a long
time since the Pekin Theatre has been
thronged with so many colored amuse-
ment lovers, and many recalled the days
‘of the old Pekin Stock Company. .
Such demonstrations in favor of col-
ored theatrical attractions by members
of the race argue that the colored
theatregoer must no longer be regarded
as negligible and of no importance.
That colored people like amusement_and
are willing to pay for it when it meets
their approval has been another lessoa
tmughi T the past managers of colored
showshave depended to some extent
on the patronage of white patrons, but
if it is true, as some white managers
would have us believe, that white
theatregoers are no longer interested in
colored productions, why should we
worry with the turning out of colored
people in such large numbers as char-
acterized the engagements at the Lafay-
ette and Pekin theatres? |
J. Leubrie Hill, who conceived “My
Friend From Kentucky.” is deserving of
a gold medal for the melodious song
hits he has contributed as well as the
masterly manner in which he staged the
numberi, and would be voted another
medal were it generally known the diffi-
culties he encountered in getting his
show produced, For over two months
he kept intact a company of over fifty
performers, rehearsed them night and
day. and during the whole time his
financial standing was far different from
that of Vincent Astor. He was unable
to advance the members of his company
one cent, and yet he succeeded in keep-
ing the people together, which was no
small achievement in itself.
But this was not all: J. Leubrie Hill
while rehearsing, had made no definite
arrangements with anyone relative to
putting the show out. One manager had
promised in a casual sort of way to
finance the- attraction, but when the time
came for him to show his sincerity he
failed. So after many discouragements
Mr. Hill made a deal with the Lafayett=
Amusement Company, to act as financial
hackers, Neither party seemé te réeret
It cannot he denied that the “door of
opportunity® does not seem to be open
very wide for members of the race in
the various avenues of endeavor, and
the colored, performer experiences the
same difficulty in squeezing through the
door as the rest of us. Yet it takes grit
and will power, backed by ability, to
even get a chance to demonstrate what
vou are capable of doing.
Last week several Broadway man-
agers were seen at the Lafayette taking
mental notes of how the musical num-
Vers were staged Tt would not be sur-
prising te see Rock Me in the Cradle of
Love,” "At the Rall, That's All,” and
“Dear Old Dixie” in some Broadway
production in the mear future, which
goes to show the strange position taken
by those who invest their money in put-
ting out big shows. They will spend
thousands of dollars imitating, but will
not become interested ome cent’s worth
when the originators are colored.
But the harbingers of better times for
the colored theatrical professiom are stil!
about, and maybe “My Friend From
Kentucky” or some other colored at-
traction shall be seen on Broadway in
the near ftiture. Broadway theatregoers
revel in catchy songs, well sung, and
dancing numbers ably executed. And
these features “My Friend From Ken-
tacky” can boast of. By heeding the ad-
vice given in these columns when the
show was reviewed (which was strictly
from a Broadway standpoint), there is
no reason why J. Leubrie Hill's produc-
tion should, not be given a trial on
Broadway and make: good. Stranger
things have happened.

TO PRESENT “RICHELIEU.”
Last week the management of the
Howard University College Dramatié
Club, Washington, D. C.. held the cor-
test for the selection of those who arc
to take part in this season's production.
‘The club is making preparations for the
production .of Sir Bulwer _Lytton's
“Richelieu.” The splendid exhibition ot
talent which was shown last year in the
production of “The Lady of Lyons” has
tempted the management to undertake
the presentation of “Richelieu.”
. Louis Howard will appear in the title
Tole. Miss Harriet Harper will be seen
as “Julie.” C. E. Lane as “De Mauprot.”
E_H. Crampton as “Baradas,.” while

A. H. Tavernier, manager, has _gone
a step farther this year. It is his in-
tention to make a tour, playing in Balti-
more, Philadelphia and Richmond. The
entire cast is a strong one, and this,
coupled with the clement contained in
the drama, will undoubtedly make the
affair one of the best performances of
ite kind ever given by colored talent.

Hampton. 13:-Lincoin, 0.
On Saturday, November 8, Lincoln
University went down to defeat for the
third consecutive time at the hands of
the Hampton Institute football ¢leven
on Lincoln University grounds. The
rain in the morning before the game
made the teld slippery and prevented
fash traméwark ines either side. Line
ealn’s heayw team.was favored by the
semttion af the teld, but the charging
and Mreaking through of Hampton's line
broke up their formations before they
started, often tackling the runner fer a
loss.
Tt was evident in the carly part of
the game that Hampton had the hetter
team, but it was clearly showa in the
fourth quarter, when Lincaln, cated hy

as it was only due to the fast work of
the Howard backs and consistent

The main features of the game were
the work of Gilmore at end in handling

“Bat” Masterson on Jack Johnson.
“Bac” Masterson, the fight expert on
the Morning Telegraph, who always can
he relied upon to say the right thing at
the right time, discusses the status of
Jack Johnson as follows,
“Word comes from Parts that the
International Boxing Union, whatever
that is, at a recent: meeting there
unanimously voted to bar Jack John-
leon from boxing In France. Also, the
union took it upon iteelf to declare
vacant the heavyweight championship
because Johnson had been sentenced
to imprisonment in this country and
for other rensons too numerour ts

“In order to have this part of the
story verified I cabled to Jimmy Glue.

him saying that Ken Rosenthal, the
motor evel, represented Frank
(Neil, the New York boxing commis-
sioner, ut the meeting. That being the
cane, no one over here will venture to
question the powers of the Inter-
national Boxing Union or its right to
dethrone Jack Johnson. .
“However that may be. It will per-
haps be found on investigation chit
Johnson wasn't worrying ubout what
the International Boxing Union had
resolved to do with him or whether he
ever fought again in France, or elsv-
where, for that matter. From one who
is evidently on the inaide of pugilistic
affairs in Paris I'm told that Johnson
has theatrica) contracts to Mill that will
keep him busy for a year, at $1,500 per
week. If thin is no, and it probably is,
Johnson. will be able, to keep hirrortf
oink ut his usual pace without both-
ering about affairs of the prize rink.
“And who knows but that in the
course of a year the Supreme Court
of the United States will reverse the
Johnson conviction. If that should
happen, the International Hoxing
Union might decide ‘to reinstate the
Mack champion and permit him to
fight in France or anywhere else if he

charge stand up the Schreiber woman,

chosen by the people. The people knew how, when and where he was selected as their standard bearer and their support was loyal, enthusiastic and unhaught. Mr. Royall said that the Civic League ought to have the united support of all Negroes in furtherance of its aims and work.
Royall Grateful for Support.
Mr. Royall stated he was deeply grateful and wanted to return his sincere thanks to the public for its loyal support as shown by the overwhelming vote given him in the Negro districts, which gives far toward refuting the common claim that Negroes will not pull together. Fully 85 per cent of the Negro vote was cast for Royall. He thanks also the many eloquent speakers who gave their time and voice to his cause from the rostrum and on the stump. The work of the ladies' auxiliary is especially to be commended. They were faithful and energetic holding meetings at headquarters distributing Royall badges, and working at the campaign headquarters in sending out thousands of letters with campaign literature. Prominent among the ladies were Mrs. Montgomery Jones and Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, who addressed public mass meetings from automobiles. The Roy Scouts, from two hundred, to five hundred strong, gave loyal service, parading with banners and transparencies, disseminating literature and appealing to their fathers to vote for Royall.
Especially grateful is Mr. Royall to the churches and pastors of the city he expresses thanks to St. Mark's M. E. Church, the Rev. W. H. Brooks pastor, Metropolitan Baptist Church, the Rev. N. S. Epps, pastor, Harlem Congregational Church, the Rev. W. S. H. Lee pastor, Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, the Rev. L. B. Twisby, pastor, Salem M. E. Church, the Rev F. A. Cullen pastor, Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev A. A. Croke pastor, Baptist Temple, the Rev M. B. Unles pastor, Seventh Day Adventist Church, the Rev J. K. Humphrey pastor, Metropolitan A'M E. Church, the Rev T. F. Sales pastor.
The Sagamore Club and the Colored Independent Voters' Club are thanked for their endorsements and support and thanks are expressed to the management of the Lincoln, Crescent and Franklin theatres for running slides on their picture screens commending Mr. Royall's candidacy, and for giving the use of their theatres for meetings.
ANNUAL MASQUERADE OF
THE LUCY LANEY LEAGUE
(continued from page 1)
Leonard was given an enthusiastic reception and compelled to respond to encores.
Following the program those participating in the costume contest formed a procession which marched and countermarched around the casino passing before the ladies and gentlemen who had been requested to act as judges. The judges were Mrs. Wilborne Johnson and Mrs. William C. Lee of Jersey City, J. H. Anderson, Dr. Patrick and Chas. Johnson of Brooklyn. It was a difficult matter for the judges to make their decision, so artistic and tasty were the many costumes worn. First prize for most artistic costume was awarded Miss Carrietta V. Owena, garbed as a vividiere; second prize to Mrs. Mary J. Winfield of Tarrytown, who made a lovely bride. For the most grotesque costume the first prize was given Willis Hodges of Brooklyn, who appeared as Rip Van Winkle, and gave an artistic interpretation of the character. Charles V. P. Smith of Brooklyn, who was a most realistic Chanticleer, received the second prize, which he greeted with a series of rooster-like crowns.
Unmasking followed the awarding of prizes, and then all joined in the merry dance, which lasted until 3 o'clock. Among those holding boxes were Mrs. Louise Smith, Mrs. Irene Smith, Mrs. B. Ambrose, Mrs. G. Jackson, Mrs. Sadie Bunn, Mrs. Miss Ida Rawlingsa, Dr. Patrick, Mrs. Teneyck, Mr. and Mrs. Chas Johnson, Mrs. Boston of Charles-

(To Eva Porter, who died October 31, 1911.)
My friend was called away from here
while you was taken to the
To see the Holy City there
And all the loved ones gone before.
Her Savior who had called her there
God led her up the sand
To some place high up and fair
Up among the white-robed band.
Two years with the angels she has been
Two years has been golden gates
Shut out the sound and heil of sin
Shut in with God and His estate.
This poem is affectionately dedicated to her
parents and her many friends.
