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!

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.

FUTURE OF NEGRO EPISCO
PALIANS.
The recent meeting of the triennial convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York was characterized in its deliberations throughout by such wide difference between High and Low Churchmen as to the name, administration and policy of the church as to lead to the conclusion by outside observers that one or more splits in the church body are not only probable but inevitable in the future. A large body of delegates desired to change the name of the church to the American Catholic Church, and this was prevented only by the playing of such astute church politics as are commonly practiced in political gatherings. The two main groups were divided among themselves into smaller groups, and the proceedings read in the daily newspapers more like a war of words and strategy to gain advantage than like the wise, brotherly deliberations of one of the oldest church bodies in the United States, if not the oldest, having its parentage from the Established Church of England among the earliest of the colonists from the mother country.
Next in importance as a bone of contention in the convention, after that of changing of the name of the church, was that of the race question. The discussion of the latter question was all the more interesting because of the absence of Negroes from membership in the convention and the consequent prominence of Southern white churchmen as spokesmen of their, side of the question, if not the Negro's side. These Southern white churchmen, like Southern white politicians, think so very rapidly on the Negro 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 bishops openly insulted some two thousand Negro Episcopalians in a public church meeting in St. John's Church by openly declaring that the ballot was given to the Negroes too soon and that they are incapable of using it, and that Negro Episcopalians are not yet prepared to govern themselves in missionary districts and with missionary bishops, in the face of the fact that Bishop Ferguson of Africa was present, that the late Bishop Holly of Haiti did a great, good and lasting
of African and other in- and foreign slave demos in this country are doing, notably in Virginia and Florida. The educational and moral requirements of the Protestant Episcopal Church are so exacting of candidates for the priesthood that those who qualify 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 the 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 Negro priesthood and archdeaconate as disqualified for higher advancement in the government of the church, not because they are mentally and morally unfit, but because they are black or colored. Such a condition in the church is very humiliating to such worthy men as Archdeacon Russell of Virginia, Archdeacon Bennett of Florida, Rector Geo. F. Bragg of Maryland, Rector Hutchins C. Bishop of New York, and others. On the last day of the convention, Saturday, October 25, the New York Sun published the following as the outcome of the contention on the race question:
"The House of Bishops passed an amendment to the constitution of the Church which makes possible the creation of racial missionary districts. Such action was recommended in a minority committee report presented to the deputies a few days ago. The deputies refused to adopt the report and resolved upon the appointment of a commission to study the question for the next three years. The Bishops refused to contour in this action, and the House of Deputies refused yesterday to concur in the resolution of the Bishops. As the matter rests now the same result is obtained as would have been obtained if the House of Deputies had adopted the majority 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 selection of Negro bishops to rule over them. This was the straw that broke 'the camel's back. The contention for the concession is of long standing and controversy, 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 satisfactory solution to encourage those who desire and deserve a solution of it. Truly, "hope deferred maketh the heart sick."
THE WHITE MAN IN AFRICA
The Age is interested in Africa and its millions of people, in their present and future. Mr. Ralph M. Odell, commercial agent of the United States Department of Commerce, in a recent report, says that a marvellous transformation for the better has taken place under British occupation since 1898. The population of Berbers and Arabs in the North and African Negroes in the South are widely different in character. Mr. Odell says:
The construction of railroads and the establishment of excellent transportation facilities on the rivers have stimulated agricultural and economical progress and have brought the country within comparatively easy reach of international commerce. There are 1,500 miles of railway in the Sudan. Through the completion of the line from Wadi Halfa, in the North, through the desert to Khartum, a distance of 580 miles, and the establishment of comfortable express steamers on the Nile between Shellal on the southern boundary of Egypt and Wadi Halfa, it is now possible to make the journey from London to Khartum in nine and one half to ten days. The gauge of the road is 3 1/2 feet, and the railway fairly fast and comfortable, with modern and fast, first, second, third and fourth class carriages. Some American inroductives are used and have given very good satisfaction. At Athara Junction, on the main line to Khartum, the Nile-Red Sea Railroad, which is 335 miles long, branches off to Port Sudan and Suakin. The construction of this road was of far reaching importance, because it broke down the barrier of the eastern desert and brought the Sudan in touch with the sea, thus providing an easy outlet for the products of the country.
Africa is no longer a black spot on the map of the world. The white man's push and go have penetrated it with railroads and steamboats and telegraphs and telephones and people it with great states and cities from Egypt to Cape Palmas on the Atlantic coast line and from Sierra Leone on the west coast to the headwaters of the Nile in Central Africa. Vast agricultural and mining enterprises have uncovered fabulous wealth for the white man.
So far no black man has boomed large in Africa as leading or keeping abreast of the white man's development of the country. Will he catch the white man's spirit and "get a move on him" before it is too late, or will he slumber and stumble and die by the way as the Indian races of the American continents have done in the past three hundred years? We have never understood why Liberia the black American republic on the west coast, with a magnificent territory, rich in agricultural, forest, mineral and other resources, should stagnate in poverty and wither in indulence. Dr. Bly-
of Rome. It is more so to keep behind the wet mans of white men, and the dry mans of black men. Let us hope for a better future for black Africa than is now written in the signs of the times or since its lingering glories were wiped out in Egypt by the conquering Roman Caesar, who, like Carthage and Hannibal, are dead.
WHAT THE ELECTIONS SHOW
WHAT THE ELECTIONS SHOW.
The Democratic, party won in Massachusetts and in New Jersey last week because the Republicans were divided.
Some admirers of President Woodrow Wilson declare the elections show that the Wilson Administration has not yet lost the confidence of the nation. But if figures count for anything, even the most deep-dyed-in-the-wool Democrat must admit that 'had the Republicans been united the Democratic candidates for Governor in both Massachusetts and New Jersey would have lost.
A year ago Woodrow Wilson was elected President of the United States because William H. Taft headed the regular Republican ticket, and Theodore Roosevelt was the choice of the Progressive Republicans for the nation's chief executive. While Mr. Wilson was victorious, the election returns made it apparent that with only one ticket in the field the Republicans would have won handily.
In New York State the Republican candidates for Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals and Associate Justice were elected. The next Assembly will be controlled by the Republicans. It is reported that the Republican and Progressive Assemblymen plan to work together for the sake of good government.
This is cheering news.
As long as the Republicans continue to quarrel and remain divided into factions the Democrats will continue to win in many States normally Republican. It would be suicidal for Republicans and Progressive Republicans to keep up the fight. Let them get together.
DR. HOOD AND THE RE
CORDER
Without any disposition whatever to influence the Publication Board of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, among whose distinguished members are Bishop Evans Tyree, Bishop Coppin and Dr. William A. Sinclair, we desire to suggest that, in selecting a manager and editor of the Christian Recorder the names of Dr. Solomon Porter Hood of Trenton and Dr. A. L. Gaines of Baltimore should not be overlooked. These men are good churchmen, ripe scholars and successful pastors. They would work together to make the Book Concern a success. Success more than anything else is what the Book Concern needs and has not had for many years. Dr. Hood and Dr. Gaines would work together to make it a success. Team work is what is required.
SEGREGATION IN NORTH CAROLINA.
It appears by the sequel that the North Carolina Legislature, at its late special session, only considered and did not pass the rural segregation measure, which was urged, and will be, by Mr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, and discussed at length, editorially, in THE AGE of October 16. In discussing this vital matter in his home paper, the Greensboro (N.C.) Daily Record, Prof Charles H. Moore, formerly national organizer of the National Negro Business League, says:
It is the unexpected that sometimes happens, but we are just now proud of North Carolina in that no action was taken by the extra session of the legislature regarding the segregation bills introduced therein. And, furthermore, may I add, we trust that our real white friends will always be vigilant that the door of hope and opportunity shall always be kept open to the intelligent and thirty colored citizens, not only for his encouragement but for the best economic interest of the commonwealth
Profi. Moore has set an example that should be followed by intelligent Negroes in every community. They should not fear nor hesitate to write, and keep doing it, to their white newspapers that they buy and read, in earnest But temperate protest against injustice and honest acknowledgment and praise of "real white friends." We all must learn to swat the enemy and stand by the friend.
DECADENCE IN VIRGINIA.
We do not emphasize and give prominence to decadent symptoms in the big body of white Southern life because we have any pleasure in doing so, but because the Southern white sinners refuse to find any good in the black and colored saints among them, and refuse to acknowledge that black and colored sinners are in the same class with white and colored sinners; for that the white have plenty of colored saints and sinners of their own among them is a truth they cannot deny, any more than they can that other truth that the white fathers, as slave masters and not the black; mothers, as slave fathers, are responsible for the misapp. They who sow in the dark reap in the light, and those who sow in the light reap in the dark. However the crooked business worked, the sin of it will find them out. The white South will have this disagreeable fact rubbed into it more and more
him in blinding the town and the street and fight, so it will end, that it has a black colored man at the other end of the line to deal with without knowing it. Virginia, "the mother of Presidents" and the father of slavery and slave sons of the fathers, is no worse and no better than the other old slave States, but better things are expected of it, as standing at the head of the thirteen of them, as she stood at the head of the thirteen original colonies, with Patrick Henry shrieking. "Give me liberty or give me death!" When a man or a people climb up high in their self-conceit, magnifying themselves as being "better than other men," and public thank and applaud themselves for it, as Blind Tom did, they should expect others to turn the flashlight upon them—the flashlight that withers sham and blasts hypocrisy. During the past two years Virginia has hung a colored woman—the first woman in its history to be hanged; it has hung Henry Clay Beattie of one of "the First Families of Virginia," for deceiving a school girl and murdering his young wife; it has hung the Allen and Edwards families for shooting up the Carroll County courthouse and killing the judge and most of the court officers who were in gun range; and now, as if its cup had not already slopped over on all sides, it has done the following awful thing:
Richmond, Va., Oct. 20.—The grand jury of Chesterfield county today indicted the Virginia Home and Industrial School for Girls on the charge that it is a common nuisance. At the same time an indictment was returned against Rev. George W. McDaniel, Rev. H. D. C. MacLachlan, leading ministers of Richmond; Samuel P. Waddell, clerk of Henrico Circuit Court, and Robert Lcky, Jr., as members of the executive committee under which the home is conducted. It was stated that the minister tonight that at a meeting tomorrow the institution will be closed and the 19 inmates returned to the custody of the courts in various cities by which they were committed. Witnesses who appeared before the grand jury testified that the reformatory was a nuisance and a detriment to the community.
And this is not all. There are thirty white girls in the reformatory and "a Negro overseer is employed to boss them; all the women are worked in the field like men," and the white press of the State has striven to conceal the facts. The Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News jets the cat out of the bag in the following editorial discussion of the mess:
To an outsider it seems that there is a sort of mastery hanging over the place. The Richmond papers are particularly "touchy" with regard to it. There are rumors of battles in the prison—for that is really what it is of horrible and shameful conditions, of financial mismanagement, and finally, the indictment of two prominent Richmond ministers. The citizens of Bon Air go before a judge, and give such startling testimony that the institution is actually indicted; yet nobody seems to know what those witnesses said.
What is the matter? Is it possible that Virginia is running such a hell on earth under the ironical name of "reformatory" that the Virginia papers are actually ashamed to reveal to the world what is going on there? If so, theirs is false patronism, 1682 publity is the quickest and surest method of forcing reform.
It is not for any that they stink in
their own nests.
The race situation in Baltimore grows more provoking. Not satisfied with the strained condition produced by the segregation law for residential districts, councilmen are now preparing an ordinance "to compel the United City Railways to provide separate compartments; in its cars for the whites and the blacks," says the news dispatch. Those who sow trouble in the wind reap trouble in the whirlwind.
Andrew Rappenecker has been suing Abigail, his wife, for divorce at Ashbury Park for alleged intimacy with Abraham Manaka, a Hawaiian musician. There is a legend that the father of the late King Kakahana was a strolling Negro minstrel, who shipped as a sailor from Now Beacord and stopped off at Honolulu, where he became popular in court circles as a musician. Was he related to the gray Abraham Manaka, the musician, also? Perhaps.
Republican Leader of the House of Representatives J. R. Mann says President Wilson is a "dictator." He certainly has driven hard the Democratic majority in Congress in forcing them to remain in session since last winter to consider his administration legislative measures. His tariff and income tax bills have been passed, but his financial bill is still under consideration. When Congress gets another vacation it will appreciate it.
Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina has no love for Governor Cole Lone Blease, and wants former Senator John L. McLaurin to stand for the governorship against him. The people of South Carolina could easily get a better, and it would be hard for them to get a worse, man for governor than Mr. Blease, who insists that he is on the way to the Federal Senate and will get there before he stops. He may. What men, like Senators Tillman of South Carolina, Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, Senator James K. Vardaman of Mississippi and the late Jeff Davis of Arkansas have done in that respect there is no reason in a southern white constituency that a man like Governor Blease should not aspire to do.

White Citizen Makes Plea for Colored School.
To the Editor of Tuk Age:
The State Industrial School for Colored People, located at Winston-Salem, N. C., is doing a great work for the Negro race. Educating and elevating the colored people to good citizenship is not a local matter, but a national one. It 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 community in which it is located.
The institution is not an experiment, but a splendid reality, being as important as any in the entire South for colored people, save perhaps only Hampton or Tuskegee. The lands, buildings, appliances, etc., cost about $50,000. One citizen tendered the trustees $5,000, provided they would raise the same amount for a hospital for the sick and where colored girls could be educated for trained nurses. His offer was accepted, and a splendid hospital has 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, provided they would raise the same amount. They must have outside aid to meet this offer, as they have taxed themselves to the limit to bring the plant up to its present state of development. The State has generously advanced much money for the school, and gives a liberal amount yearly toward its running expenses. If each reader of this article will slip even 25 cents or more in an envelope and mail it to Mr. Wm. A. Blair, vice president of the People's National Bank, at Winston-Salem, N. C., who is acting treasurer of the school, the trustees will raise their $12,000 and meet the same amount from the State, plus with $24,000 cash in hand for building material, they can very greatly increase the plant, as the students will do much of the construction work themselves.
The small sum of 25 cents or more will be easy for each reader of this paper to send, and will mean much to the struggling colored people of the South.
The writer of this article is a native of North Carolina, and now a business man of New York City, and has insti- tuted the school, and verifies the above facts.
L. P. RAWLEY
922 Broadway, New York City
What Has Negro Learned From Royall's Defeat.
The battle of Lake Akaka. The man whose voice once has heard the name has ceased and Iam M. Royall is back again at his daily task. As I looked at him this morning there was yet that wrinkle and sparse in his eyes only discernable in a man possessing backbone. He walked up and down his office with a quick yet firm step.
John M. Royall was the independent candidate for Alderman in the 21st Aldermane District in the city of New York. He ran against his will, refusing to accept the call of the people of his community until he had given the matter consideration. He sought to give the honor to another who retired in favor of the people's choice. Finally he accepted.
When he did so it was not with faint heart. He went right into the game and dug down into his own pocket to finance his campaign. Commendious headquarters were rented and all comforts installed. Anyone who has lived in the district or who has visited it during the campaign can attest it was one of the best managed campaigns in the city. It has been said that the financial burden has been very heavy upon Mr. Royall, but he has not complained. An important question presents itself: What has the Negro learned from Royall's defeat? Can we say that he was deficited? No! The Negro has learned that John Royall came out victorious. John has won the respect of the operation of hundreds of people of this community who didn't consider the Negro even interested enough to seek representation. He has established a president in this city which will mean before long elective representation. He has won a place for some intelligent, respectable and ambitious member of the race to represent his people in the large part they should play in the government of this great city.
The Negro will learn further (and it pains me to say this), that the time has passed for him to remain outside shortly before 5 p. m., waiting for someone to pay him a paltry sum for his vote, and then he is closed out with a job. The Negro must learn that thirty thousand votes in a this city intelligently used will give to us all that justice and humanity calls for.
Think it over. What has the Negro earned from Royalty's defeat?
JAMES C. THOMAS, JR.
New York City, Nov. 5, 1913.
Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, writes a special article, "What I Am Trying to Do," for the November issue of the World's Work, New York City; a series of twelve articles under this title have been published in the World's Work during the past twelve months. The contributors to the series so far have represented every phase of business and education in the leaders of one kind and another in every field of activity. The World's Work is quite the most representative business magazine published in this country, and surveys the earth from one end of the earth to the other.
"In the particular article here referred to, Dr. Washington summarizes his life work at Tuskegee Institute, explaining the detail of his work to do" in helping to bring about the present progress of the Negro people in the United States. The whole scheme of the work of Tuskegee Institute "Tuskegee Ideas" is examined and explained so that one can get a pretty good idea of the work being accomplished through Tuskegee Institute, particularly related to the matter of racial relationships in the South, Dr. Washington writes:
"Another thing that I have tried to do has been to bring the white people in the Southern States and throughout the country to a proper and practical attitude toward the Negro in his efforts to go forward and make progress. I am seeking to do not only in the interest of my race, but also in the interest of the white race.
"There are, in the southern States nine million Negro children of school age. Fifty-three per cent, or more than half, never go to school. Many of these Negro children, particularly in the country districts, are in school until the end of the year. I am trying to get the white people to see that, both from an economic point of view and as a matter of justice and fair play these conditions must be changed. I am trying to get the white people to see that sending ignorant Negroes to jails and penitentiaries, putting them in the jail, and lynching them, does not chillize but does trary, though it brutalizes the Negro, it at the same time blunts and dulls the conscience of the white man.
"I want the white people to see that it is unfair to expect a black man who goes to school only three months in the year to produce as much on the school light or the man who has been in school eight or ten years; that it is unjust to let the Negro remain ignorant, with nothing between him and the temptation to fill his body with whiskey and cocaine and then to expect him, in his ignorance, to be able to exercise that degree of self-awareness which shall enable him to keep it.
"Still another thing that I am trying to get the people of the whole country to realize is that the education of the Negro should be considered not as a matter of charity, but as a matter of opportunity, any other business, should be thorough, organized and systematized. The money that has already been spent by States, institutions and individuals would have done vastly more good if there had been, years ago, more thorough orational and co-operation between the different schools and detached members of the Negro school system in the southern States.
"I am trying to get the white people to realize that since no color line is drawn in the punishment for crime, no one should be drawn in the preparation for life; in other words, that makes for useful, clean living. I am trying to get the white people to see that in hundreds of counties in the South it is costing more to punish colored people than to educate them. I am trying to get all to see that ignorance, poverty and weakness movie and encourage the stronger race to act unjustly toward the white men, so that long as this condition remains, the white men of the South will have a fearful handicap in the battle of life.

Every person should make himself acquainted with the means of fire escape with which his residence is provided. Don't wait until fire breaks out; do it now. A little useful forethought may save much useless grief.

DANCY SAYS PARTIES
Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 12.—John C. Dancy, secretary of Church Extension in the A. M. E. Zion Church, spent Sunday in the city, and delivered addresses at several gatherings.
He was the principal speaker at a rally held at Payne Memorial A. M. E. Church in the interest of the Y. M. C. A.
He declared that the Y. M. C. A. work was one of great importance in the moral uplift of the young men of the country; especially those who had migrated 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 a great responsibility to shoulder in the rearing of their children. If the race is to still make progress in spite of the many discriminations that we have to suffer we must have a reverence for good home training and the spiritual uplift of the men and women of the day. I am afraid that too many of us are apt to forget where God has brought us to-day. If we would succeed we must still worship God."
He closed by asserting that the Jews in this country, as well as in others, composed only a small minority of the population, yet they controlled the marks of trade and the finances of many communities.
White Baptists to Give Aid.
Special to the Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 11.—For the first time in history, two religious organizations in the South, the one white and the other colored, are to unite in an educational project for the Negroes. It is an event that marks the beginning of a new era in the attitude of the two races toward each other. Sutton E. Griggs, Educational Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, has issued the following statement concerning the movement: "The Southern Baptist Convention white, the only a resolution unanimously adopted at its recent session held at St Louis, Mo., in May, 1913, has tendered its aid, moral and financial, to the National Baptist Convention, colored, for the purpose of insuring the successful launch of a National Theological Seminary to engage in the work of furnishing a better prepared ministry to aid the Negro people.
"The representatives chosen by the Southern Baptist Convention to confer with representatives of the National Baptist Convention have recommended that the Southern Baptist Convention donate fifty thousand dollars as the initial contribution of the white Baptists of the South toward the founding and equipment of the school.
"It is the purpose of those authorized to act in the matter to locate the school in one of the following five cities: Memphis, Tenn.; Birmingham, Ala.; Atlanta, Ga.; Nashville, Tenn.; or, Louisville, Ky. It is hoped that the philanthropic citizens of the cities named will make offers for a site for the school, and tender such other help as their generosity may dictate. The character of the offers made will have a bearing on the final decision os to the location of the school."

production in the near future, which goes to show the strange position taken by those who invest their money in putting out big shows. They will spend thousands of dollars imitating, but will not become interested one cent's worth when the originators are colored.
But the harbingers of better times for the colored theatrical profession are still about, and maybe "My Friend From Kentucky" or some other colored attraction shall be seen on Broadway in the near future. Broadway theatregoers revel in catchy songs, well sung, and dancing numbers ably executed. And these features "My Friend From Kentucky" can boast of. By heeding the advice 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 production should not be given a trial on Broadway and make good. Stranger things have happened.

Morris, Charles A. Marshall, William H. Bennett, Susie Harris-Ahele and Estelle Poulson Jones were in the cast.
Manager Ostreicher presented a varied bill at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week, which pleased. Fay Allen proved a strong opening turn and her character work was appreciated.
Budds & Stubbs, two well-known colored performers, who for some reason see it to travel under an alias, have a good idea for an act. They already have some good material at hand, and by paying more attention to detail, such as walking old Grand Army veterans should not like young men, the act should get over.
Adolf Pete has energy and ability enough to do a much stronger turn. What he needs most is better material.
Frank Belment, & Company returned to the Crescent in their western dramatic sketch after a year's absence from New York. This act always scores.
THEATRICAL COMMENT.
(By LESTER A. WALTON.)
EACH year when March winds commence to do "Salome" up and down our streets, highways and byways, newspaper writers proceed to tell us of the appearance of the harbingers of spring. No matter how cold the weather or deep the snow, we are reminded of the approach of balmy spring. During the past two weeks harbingers of better times to come for the colored theatrical profession were flashed across the horizon of the world of make believe. Maybe these fore-runners of more favorable theatrical conditions were only flashes in the pan or as inconsequential as snow flurries and April showers; yet we have reason to be more hopeful than a month ago.
The remarkable two weeks' engagement of J. Leubrie Hill's My. Friend From Kentucky Company at the Lafayette Theatre, New York City, and the big business done by a traveling vaudeville organization headed by Aida Overton Walker at the Pekin Theatre, Chicago, are surely harbingers of better times for the colored theatrical profession. The successful appearance of these two colored attractions at what are known as two "colored" houses is significant.
Both attractions were largely supported by the colored theatregoers because they contained merit and struck the public's tancy, and by patronizing these shows in such large numbers theaterling worth of the colored theatregoer was, strongly emphasized and the stock of our colored citizens as supporters of colored theatrical offerings has taken quite an upward bound in the estimation of managers and theatrical folk along the Rialto.
During the two weeks' run of the My Friend From Kentucky Company at the Lafayette Theatre the show appeared 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 attraction, packed the Pekin Theatre, Chicago, at every show. Business was so good 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 amusement lovers, and many recalled the days of the old Pekin Stock Company.
Such demonstrations in favor of colored 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 lesson taught. In the past managers of colored shows have 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 characterized the engagements at the Lafayette 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 numbers, and would be voted another medal were it generally known the difficulties 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 keeping 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 Lafayette Amusement Company to act as financial backers. Neither party seems to regret the deal to date.
It cannot be 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 you are capable of doing.
Last week several Broadway managers were seen at the Lafayette taking mental notes of how the musical numbers were staged. It would not be surprising to see "Rock Me in the Cradle of Love." "At the Ball, That's All," and "Dear Old Dixie" in some Broadway
WHERE THE SHOWS ARE

CLEF CLUB TO-NIGHT.
Fresh from its first triumphant tour, the Cefl Club will give its annual fall concert at Manhattan Casino Thursday (this) evening. The advance sale of seats has been large and it is predicted that the Casino will be crowded with music lovers as in the past. James Reese Europe and the members of the Cefl Club are enthusiastic over the sincere appreciation shown for their work by both public and press in other cities. There is talk of repeating the tour next year. Even the white musical critics in the Southern cities were lavish in their praise. Douglas Gordon, of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, in an article of some length characterized the concert as "in many respects the most remarkable concert ever given in Richmond."
MISS WALKER IN "CHI."
Aida Overton Walker & Company are having another big week at the Pekin Theatre, Chicago. Miss Walker's company is patterned after the traveling vaudeville organizations headed by Eva Tanquay and Lillian Russell. Business has been so encouraging that Manager N. S. Feldman is thinking of sending the company on a tour. Appearing on the bill with Miss Walker are the Porto Rico Girls, with Maggie Davis and L. H. Saulsbury, the Happy Girls, with Harry Reed and Jas. Marshall; Bailey & Teare; Sallie Green, Byrd, soprano soloists, and Black Carl, magician. Ida Day, Katie Jones, Hazel Thompson, Misses Creed, Alexander, Williams, Dixon, Potter and Brown.
TO PRESENT "RICHELIEU."
Last week the management of the Howard University College Dramatic Club, Washington, D. C., held the contest for the selection of those who are 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 of 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 role. Miss Harriet Harper will be seen as "Julie," C. E. Lane as "De Mauprot," E. H. Crampton as "Baradas," while Miss Mayme Robinson, G. S. Ruffin, Mosby B. McAden, J. W. Jackson, W. S. Hanna, H. B. Wallace, J. A. Cook, W. T. Grinnage and C. F. Holmes will all assume important parts.
A. H. Tavernier, manager, has gone a step farther this year. It is his intention to make a tour, playing in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Richmond. The entire cast is a strong one, and this, coupled with the element contained in the drama, will undoubtedly make the affair one of the best performances of its kind ever given by colored talent. The production will be under the personal direction of Nathaniel Guy of Washington, D. C.
A. and M. College, 42; Kittrell, 0. The A. and M. College defeated Kittrell College at Cone Athletic Park. Greensboro, N.C., before a large crowd of enthusiastic spectators by the score of 42 to 0. The game was one-sided from start to finish. The A. and M. College team outclassed the visitors at every stage of the game and was able to score at will. The features of the game were the playing of Thompson and Bryan and the punting of Tucker
Seldom has the A. and M. College opened its football season with a more promising outlook. This victory has given the boys inspiration, and from every angle her chances for having one of the best teams in the State are very promising.
Morehouse, 16: Atlanta University, 11.
Morehouse College, formerly Atlanta Baptist College, last year's undisputed football champions of the South, met Atlanta University Saturday, November 8, on the campus of Atlanta University and defeated her by the score of 16 to 11. The Atlanta University eleven greatly, surprised the Morehouse Tigers by making a touchdown in the second quarter. It was the first time that Atlanta University has crossed the Maroon's goal in ten years.
Coach Archer, looking forward to the hard games with Tuskegee and Fisk, would take no great risk with his men, so he played several substitutes. The Morehouse Tigers fought desperately, but notwithstanding their good showing they suffered greatly from illegal penalties. The Atlanta University team showed remarkable improvement over last year's eleven. The Morehouse squad will play Tuskegee Saturday, November 15, at Tuskegee, and promises to give Booker Washington's boys a contest of their life. The Fisk Morehouse games will be the attraction at Atlanta's Motordrome, Friday, November 21.
Hampton, 13; Lincoln, 0.
On Saturday, November 8, Lincoln University went down to defeat for the third consecutive time at the hands of the Hampton Institute football eleven on Lincoln University grounds. The rain in the morning before the game made the field slippery and prevented fast, team work from either side. Lincoln's heavy team, was favored by the condition of the field, but the charging and breaking through of Hampton's line broke up their formations before they started, often tackling the runner for a loss. It was evident in the early part of the game that Hampton had the better team, but it was clearly shown in the fourth quarter, when Lincoln, added by a penalty, got the ball on Hampton's two-yard line and first down and was unable to cross Hampton's goal. Lincoln was forced to play a defensive game, as the ball was in her territory most of the time. Both teams attempted several forward passes, some of which were successful.
Hampton's first touchdown was made from a long forward pass by Fred Bender to James Gayle over the goal line. The second one resulted from a blocked kick by Nelson Wilds, which was recovered by Ralph Stoney and carried
1930
across the goal line by William A. Fleyt who time and again tore through Lincoln's line for ten yards.
Hampton outplayed Lincoln in every department of the game. Capt. Joseph E. Oliver of the Hampton team played an unusually strong defensive game and was found in every play. Bender at quarter for Harvard pointed well and used good judgment in running the team. Wheaton, the all-star baseball man of last season, was unable to shine for Lincoln. Not more than twice during the game was he able to gain his distance.
The game would have been more enjoyed by the spectators had there been less roughness and wrangling with the officials.
Score: Hampton, 13; Lincoln, 0
Touchdowns, Gayle and Flynt. Goal from touchdown. Bender.
Officials: Mr. Henderson, referee;
Mr. Wilkinson, umpire; Mr. Jameson, lineman.
Howard, 76; Shaw, 0.
The Howard University football team presented one of its strongest and fastest line-ups that has ever represented that institution Saturday when it defeated Shaw University on Howard campus. Washington, by the score of 76 to 0. The score does not indicate the stubborn defense put up by Shaw, as it was only due to the fast work of the Howard backs and consistent ground gaining made possible by forward passes. Time and again Howard used the forward pass for long gains which often resulted in touchdowns.
The main features of the game were the work of Gilmore at end in handling the forward pass, the seventy-yard run of Slaughter for a touchdown from the kick-off, and the tackling of Dowdell for the victors, while Harrington and Williams excelled for the losers.

In the evening members of the Shaw team were guests of honor of the student body. A reception was tendered them by the Howard management and the young ladies of the senior college class, after which both teams attended the Howard Theatre as guests of the theatre management. The closing event of the evening was the reception tendered the visiting team by the members of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity at their new home. This event will long be remembered by those in attendance because of the warm welcome given them by the fraternity. The Shaw team was well pleased with their visit to Howard and expressed their feelings in terms of great praise and good will to the student body. Too much praise cannot be given to Manager Taylor and his assistants for their help in maintaining the good athletic relations between Howard and Shaw.
Monticello Quint Opens Season.
The Monticello basket-ball team of Pittsburgh is again in line for the season, which the members hope will be the banner one. The club's season opened November 11 at Springdale, Pa. James Dorsey, star guard of last season, has been elected captain. In Dorsy the quint has a man who has every qualification of a leader Hunter Johnson, the great University of Pittsburgh coach and trainer, has promised to coach the boys at the close of the football

season. He will be assisted by two men who are with the football squad at the University. Monticello regrets the loss of the services of Cum Posey and his brother Seward, who have decided to have a team of their own.
"Bat" Masterson on Jack Johnson.
"Bat" Masterson, the light expert on the Morning Telegraph, who always can be relied upon to say the right thing at the right time, discusses the status of Jack Johnson as follows:
"Word comes from Paris that the International Boxing Union, whatever that is, at a recent meeting there unanimously voted to bar Jack Johnson from boxing in France. Also, the union took it upon itself to declare vacant the heavyweight championship because Johnson had been sentenced to imprisonment in this country and for other reasons too numerous to mention. The report also states that a representative of this country attended the meeting.
"In order to have this part of the story verified I cabled to Jimmy Glue, my special correspondent in Paris, about it, and received a reply from him saying that Hen Rosenthal, the motor cycle," represented Frank O'Neill, the New York boxing commissioner, at the meeting. That being the case, no one over here will venture to question the powers of the International Boxing Union or its right to dethrone Jack Johnson.
"However that may be, it will perhaps be found on investigation that Johnson wasn't worrying about what the International Boxing Union had resolved to do with him or whether he ever fought again in France, or elsewhere, for that matter. From one who is evidently on the inside of pugilistic affairs in Paris I'm told that Johnson has theatrical contracts to fill that will keep him busy for a year, at $1,500 per week. If this is so, and it probably is, Johnson, will be able, to keep himself going at his usual pace without bothering about affairs of the prize ring.
"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 Boxing Union might decide to reinstate the black champion and permit him to fight in France or anywhere else if he cured to. Johnson's conviction, if Federal Judge Pollack's Interpretation of the Mann white slave act, is held to be good law by the Supreme Court, is sure to be set aside, and that's precisely what is likely to happen.
"Johnson was charged with bringing a notorious character of the underworld by the name of Belle Schreiber from Pittsburgh to Chicago for immoral purposes, and to make the charge stand up the Schreiber woman, on the witness stand, testified that she had made money in an immoral manner after reaching Chicago and曼曼 that she was due to Johnson. If that charge, the black champion will in all probability have to serve his sentence of one year in Joliet Prison. But the women's testimony was so glaringly false to all who heard it that even those who utterly detect the Negro refuse to believe it.
"Johnson, on the witness stand, did not deny that he had sent Belle Schreiber money to pay her railroad fare and other expenses from Pittsburgh to Chicago, but emphatically denied that he had ever compelled her to prostitute herself in order that he might be financially benefited thereby." "He further swore, and his testimony was strongly corroborated, that instead of forcing Belle Schreiber to engage in immoral practices he fitted up elegant apartments for her and her mother and sister, in which all three lived in luxury at his expense. If such actions mean anything, they mean, that Johnson was endeavoring in his own peculiar way to rescue the woman from a life of shame and degradation, which she had been following in Pittsburgh.
"All these matters will no doubt be
and it is, just possible that the court
will also carefully weigh that part of the Schreiber woman's testimony where she alleged that Johnson had compelled her to be a street walker for money which she invariably turned over to him. If it should, therefore appear that Bile Schreiber, settled that she was intangible and do so, there is scarcely a doubt that Johnson's conviction will be set aside and a new trial ordered. Also, that the Government's case against him will end then and there.

"No descent, self-respecting man or woman in this country cares a gue about Jack Johnson. If he were to be sent to the penitentiary for life, providing his conviction was procured in a fair and legal manner, there would be no "regrets expressed. But sending him to prison on the testimony of a notorious demagogue is quite another thing, and for a reason the big Nerro is likely to be set free when the Supreme Court reviews his case."

Dinner will be served at campaign headquarters each evening at 6:45 clock for the active campaign workers, who will be admitted only on the presentation of their badges.
The Emanuel Church.
A growing interest is noted in every department of the church. The various societies are full of enthusiasm, prayers, gifts and good works. At the morning service Pastor Bolen spoke from the text, II. Timothy 2:3.4. Subject: "The military Spirit in Christianity." The Sunday school had a very interesting session. Mrs. Georgia Thomas reviewed the lesson. The superintendent and teachers have just cause to be proud of the work, accomplished in the two months of the work. Mrs. William Gilbert presented the program at the Literary Society. The institution of Miss Mattle Lewis was very commendable. At the evening service Pastor Bolen spoke to a large congregation.
He spoke from Hebrews 12:28-24.

COLORED VOTERS PLAN
TO MAINTAIN LEAGUE
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-

Importers of Jamaican Coffee
Making a specialty of the importation and sale of Jamaican coffee, the firm of Werner & Brandon, 119 West 135th street, is building up a good trade in coffee and teas. A feature of their business is the carrying of a good line of oriental ware which is given their customers as premium for the purchase of goods.

New York epicureans have given a royal welcome to the Lybia Dining Rooms, recently opened at 115 West 131st street, with Robert Keys and Charles Buckner as proprietors, and the popular Louis W. George, formerly engaged in the real estate businesses, as manager. The formal opening occurred Saturday, November 1, and the splendidly appointed rooms were throughed with friends, who enjoyed the hospitality of the Lybia.
The first floor of the building is devoted to the dining rooms, and the intention of the proprietors to have a first-class, up-to-date caravansy is shown in the elegant appointments. Small party tables are placed about the room and fitted with silver, cut glass and spotless napery. A large china closet at one and of the dining room filled with costly cut glass adds to the attractive decorations. Down stairs the front room is fitted up as ladies' and gentlemen's lounge. The furniture is upholstered in dark brown leather, neatly stitched, and is the some of comfort. A reading table, papers and magazines, is included, and the telephone is in this room also.
Two small rooms in rear of the lounge are fitted up for the café and store room, respectively, and back of these is the large, airy and conveniently appointed kitchen. Paul Jones, an expert chef of twenty years' experience, is in charge of this department, and his menus are a delight to the palate. Mr. Jones took a course of two years and a half in the cooking department of Public School No. 67, 46th street. A corps of five competent waitresses is in charge of John Knott as headmaster. Mr. Knott has had ample experience, having been connected with the Hotel Marshall for a long period. Entertainment for the diners is furnished each evening by Miss Jennie Ringgold singer, and Miss Cross singer. These young ladies educated and popular, and their efforts are of a high order. Mrs. Buckner and Mrs. Keys assisted in arranging the dining rooms, and their deft artistry is evident on every side. Mrs. Buckner gives active cooperation in the preparation of the menus. Afternoon tea is served each day from 3:30 to 6 p.m.
The service is a la carte at all hours, but a table de hote dinner is served from 6 to 9 p.m. Sundays and holidays a special dinner is served.
The first dinner was served Sunday, November 2, and the following menu was enjoyed: Cream of chicken soup, baked haddock, friesee chicken, prime roast of beef, mashed potatoes, creamed string beans, combination salad, ice cream, cottage pudding with chocolate sauce, coffee, tea, milk.

(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.
The above is the second poem composed and
dedicated to the memory of the friend of her
youth and young womanhood. The other poem
