COLORED SOLDIERS TREATED AS SLAVES IN THE PHILIPPINES Compelled to Work in Mud and Water Unloading Lumber and Shoveling Rock VOL. XXVII No. 12. COLORED SOLDIER SLAVES IN THE Compelled to Work Unloading Lumber DRAW LINE IN U.S. ARMY Number of 24th Infantry Writes That While Soldiers Object to Negroes Attending Motion Picture Shows. Secretary of War Requested to Probe War Burden Charges of Discrimination Received by The Age. The attention of the Secretary of War has been directed to the serious complaints against race discrimination in the United States Army received by The Age from members of the 24th Infantry, stationed in the Philippines. The colored soldiers make the charge that they are compelled to work as laborers in the rain and are subjected to other indignities inflicted by white officers. The colored infantrymen are the custodians of the prisoners, who mark that the only difference between the colored soldiers and the prisoners is that the infantrymen receive money from the United States Government. It is believed that Secretary Garrison, who is regarded as one of the broad-minded officials of the Wilson Administration, will order a thorough investigation into the serious charges preferred against the white officers of the regiment. In a letter sent to THE Act by a member of the 24th Infantry, the writer asks that his identity be kept a secret, as a colored soldier was recently punished for writing to friends in the United States in which he was convicted, for attributing omitted them. Not only are the colored soldiers compelled to work on Sunday unloading and loading lumber and bamboo and shoveling rocks in water up to their shoes but, they are ordered to work for the white army, as is expected that the color line is drawn against the colored soldiers attending motion picture shows frequented by white soldiers. Soldier Writes Letter. Following is the last letter receives from a member of the 24th Infantry: Corregidor, Cayite, P. I. Nov. 11, 1833. While we are in far off Philippines it affords me no little pleasure to let the public know how, we are getting along. We came to Corregidor May 22, 1913, from Camp Stottenberg. We were told we were brought to Corregidor for maneuvers. Later Companies C, D, E, F, G, H and M were assigned to duty here and the men were told to build their own quarters. Our camp was on a hillside. It started to rain day and night and our camp street looked like a flooded city. Under our beds it was the same way. We had to pitch our shelter tents inside tents and we had to enter in the rain. We are compelled to work in the rain, load and unload humber, nips and bamboo, pick and shovel large rocks in mud and water above our shoe-tops. The men upon quitting work are soaking wet and have no place to dry their clothes. We have to go to bed and cover up to dry or wait until the sun comes out. We work on Sunday and the men get so wet they catch cold and count all night. Outside of our own work we have to work for the white soldiers, doing things never demanded of us until we came over here. The launch Malley comes from Manila with children from the 9th, 72nd and 11th companies of Coast Artillery and L, and X companies of Engineers. We have to upload the launch in rain or sunshine. Nothing ever comes on the Malley for the 24th Infantry. They don't want us at the moving picture shows or in the post exchange or reading rooms. Still we have to handle all the goods for the white soldiers. We walk post all night and guard the prisoners all day until 4 o'clock. The next morning we go on at 6 o'clock and guard prisoners all day and go on the next day at 4. All day long we are made to dig sewers and do other labor work, while the white soldiers will. We know nothing as to the now broken and all the will soon drill us almost to death for the managers. We ask the Lord how long we are going to stand this rough treatment. We have to police the non-commissioned officers' quarters and go up to the lumber yard and move lumber. Gen. Bell does not like us and our officers do not like us. No officers who would tell the truth will not deny that we are not treated as soldiers. Even the civil prisoners laugh at us and tell us we are all the same, only we get money and they don't. But they my they can sleep all night and are not treated as slaves. The President, the Secretary of War and the Chief of Staff don't know how it touched our bleeding hearts when two torpedo boats lay in the bay and the crew came ashore and went to the top of the hill to play ball. They came by with white soldiers and saw us in a cut working like so many convicts. It hurt is to think that they treated Uncle Sage soldiers in such a disgraceful manner. We have been worked so hard we did not even get a chance to finish target practice. We are being treated like dogs, but as long as we are here we will stand it and serve our flag. This is one of several letters received by The Acm from members of the 24th Infantry protesting against rank discrimination of colored soldiers in the Philippines. TO CUT DELEGATIONS TO NATIONAL CONVENTION. Special to The New York Acm. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17.—The Republican National Committee, in its session yesterday, decided not to call a special national convention in 1914, but to provide itself for the adoption of looking for a reduction of representation from Southern states and for the recognition of State primary laws in the selection of delegates to the next national convention. The plan for a special convention was defeated by a vote of 35 to 14, after which a referendum, by which the change of representation is to be ratified by Republican voters in all the States, was unanimously adopted. The session of the committee was characterized by a getting together of the conservative and progressive electors, although the differences between the different factions. The committee to draft details of the reaportionment plan for education to the whole committee to-day was appointed and met last night to work out the new system. It consists of Senator Smoot of Utah, Senator Borah of Idaho, who holds the proxy of the Idaho committeeman; William Barnes, Jr., of New York, ex-Governor Hadley of Illinois; who has the Louisiana proxy, R. B. of Nebraska. W. Estabrook of New Hampshire, ex-Senator Newell Sanders of Tennessee, and Charles B. Warren of Michigan, Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the National Committee, is an ex-officio member of this committee. ASSISTANT POSTMASTER FLORENCE, S. C., Dec. 16.—Assistant Postmaster Mischeaux has been removed by the Wilson Administration. The reason: Because he is a Negro, Mischeaux served under J. E. Wilson, a colored man, and has been working under Postmaster J. A. Chase, white, for several months. Chase received word last week from Congressman Ragsdale that the Postmaster Mischeaux let out had resulted favorably. No charges were made against Assistant Postmaster Mischeaux. He was regarded as an efficient assistant. Prominent white business men petitioned for his retention, but it is reported that Ragsdale and other white politicians are determined to have every Negro officeholder in the Sixth District removed. DOMINICAN SUES: CHARGES DISCRIMINATION Special to The New York App. NEWBURGH, N. Y., Dec. 17—Because the Ladycliff Academy of Highland Fails drew the color line and discriminated against his daughter, suit for $5,000 has been brought by Antonio Navarro, a native of Santo Domingo, now residing in New York, against the institution. Navarro alleges that he sent his daughter to the Ladycliff Academy last year and engagements were made with the managers of the school. He said Navarro should take the four years' course of instruction. However, at the expiration of the regular term last spring a request was made by the Sisters of the institution to take Miss Navarro away, as the other pupils refused to associate with her. Although Navarro complied with the Sisters' request, he has sued the Ladycliff Academy for damages. SAN JUAN HILL KIDDIES TO HAVE BIG XMAS TREE The San Juan Hill Woman Suffrage Club, of which Mrs. Sophie Towne is president, is making provision for a Christmas tree for the hundreds of poor children who live in the San Juan Hill section. She is assisted by the Rev. Geo. H. Sims, pastor of Union Baptist Church, at which place the women hold their meetings and where the annual Christmas treat to the children will be given. Miss Rosalie Jonas, a member of the Woman's Political Union, has taken much interest in the club and assists materially in getting clothes, food and toys for the children. Dr. Sims' two little children are mascots of the club and seem to take as much interest in the work as any of the older folks. COLORED Y. M. C. A. AT ATLANTA NOW ASSURED 7,000 Negroes Gather at Auditorium and Raise $5,000 ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 16.—History was made in the progress of the Negro race by the meeting of the colored churches of Atlanta held Sunday night at the Auditorium. Seven thousand Negroes gathered in one congregation, in spite of the rainy night that caused a dreary Sunday, and remained from 7 o'clock till nearly midnight for a mass meeting that has never been equaled in the South, and that, as speakers declared in eloquent addresses, "marks the beginning of a new era in the history of the Negro problem of the South." Five thousand three hundred and seventy-seven dollars was added to the Young Men's Christian Association fund as a result of the meeting. This, added to the $11,500 which has already been paid by the Negroes, makes a total of $16,877 in cash from the Negroes themselves for the purpose of building the new colored Young Men's Christian Association building. With outstanding subscriptions of several thousand dollars pastors and leaders declared after meeting Sunday night that the entire amount necessary will soon be available, and that before many months are over the Y. M. C. A. building will be a reality. On this theme—the value of the Y. M. C. A. as an instrument for fighting crime among the Negroes—many eloquent addresses were made. Gov. John M. Slaton, Judge Nash R. Broyles, Marion M. Jackson, Dr. John E. White John Temple Graves and W. Woods White spoke as white citizens to the Negroes, while those from the colored race who spoke were Dr. 4H. H. Proctor. Dr. J. P. O'Connell, the Rev. P. James Bryant and Rev. W. H. Moses. Churches Act in Unison. There were the most unique ever held in Atlanta, but what carries the deepest significance is the unity with which the churches of every denomination closed their own doors for the evening and got together in one body for the Y. M. C. A. movement. A concerted motive and action was displayed by the forty or more Negro parishes and congregations which never have been thought possible five years ago. Seated in groups and sections accorded their different churches, the 7,000 Negroes present were one in thought and sentiment, cheering and applauding every expression of racial pride or progress that came from the speakers, white and black, and showing that they were all, regardless of denomination, working for the uplift of their race. The throng itself was probably the most varied seen in all the checkered career of Atlanta's Auditorium-Armory. Some of the more flashy Negro women won prizes plaques and diamonds. On the same rows with them were seated some in rags, who, had come straight from their kitchens or hovels. For two hours the doors of the Auditorium received the varied stream, till every seat within the sight-line was filled and hundreds were standing in the rear. Seated in the back of the Auditorium were the student choruses—two hundred from Morehouse College and one hundred from the University of Missouri—mollies, ringing through the Auditorium in thrilling strains, made one of the most unique features of the meeting. Chautauqua Salute for Slaton. When Mr. Jackson, the first speaker on the evening's program, arose, there was hardly a seat vacant in the Auditorium, though the crowd was still coming. "We are gathered here to-night to take part in a great march—one that has been going on for centuries and is not yet finished—the great procession of the world's progress," said Mr. Jackson. He spoke of the co-operation of the white- and Negro leaders of the city over the river. The White- and Woods White man who has done more than any other one man toward bringing the movement to a climax. Cheers and applause broke out at the mention of Mr. White's name. Gov. John M. Slaton was given the greatest reception of any speaker. The audience arose with waving handkerchiefs for a typical "chautauqua salute" which lasted for several minutes as the Governor stood facing them. He began by telling the Negroes of the wonderful opportunity that awaits them in living clean lives and building characters which gain for them the respect of the community. He of having commuted the sentence of a Negro condemned as a murderer simply on the evidence of the man's past good character and the appeals made in his behalf by his fellow citizens. The Governor's address had a big effect on the audience, and long applause was accorded him. Judge Broylea Holde "Trial" Judge Broyles was then introduced by the chairman of the meeting, Dr. W. A. Fountain, as "a man with whose a large element of our race are already very familiar." "As I look over this audience I see many familiar faces," were Judge (Continued on Page B.)

The majority of the stockholders of the concern are white. Some months ago when Mr. Morgan made an appeal to the Negro citizens of Cleveland to buy stock and form a company, to be composed solely of colored stockholders, he was unable to interest the members of his race. However, he had no difficulty in disposing of the stock he had for sale to white people. CONTRIBUTES $1000 TO CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS Over $1000 has been received in cash and subscriptions by the Colored Committee since the closing of the joint campaign conducted in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. One of the contributors was A. D. Lacey of Los Angeles, who sent a check for $100 Mr. Lacey formerly resided in New York and on one of the main members of the New York Branch. Following is the list of subscriber-whose names have not been heretofore published. Administrator Newberger Superintendent Suffrutin Meyer and Boddenmeyer for Neglect of Duty. Jae Zin, Station plum, Kingsbridge, who, with John Koshof, of 1031 Collins avenue, was indicted by the Grand Jury of the County of New York on Wed- nesday, November 19, for criminal as- sault on little 14-year-old Elizabeth Macno Jeter, of 3140 Heath avenue, and who was arrested in Camden, N. J., was extradited Monday, December 11, and arraigned before Judge in Pa- tina, 1031 North Station, for the Seasonal Tuesday morning for pleading. Zits pleaded not guilty and was held for trial. Zitz was arrested November 16 by the Camden police on complaint of the girl's brother, who went to Camden on information received by Mr. Jeter, the father, to the effect that Zitz was in that town. The local police had shown a decided inclination not to take any action in the case. Their dilatory action led to charges being preferred against two of the officers of the Kingsbridge police station, Detectives Herman Meyer and Frederick Buddeemeyer, for neglect of duty, and Third Deputy Police Commissioner Newberger Monday afternoon, November 24. Commissioner Newberger, after the hearing, suspended both officers pending a decision in the case, and on Monday, December 15, it was announced by Police Commissioner Waldo that the two men had been found guilty of first-degree days' suspension, making a total of forty-five days, and Buddeemeyer was given ten days, a total of thirty-five. Zitz in Camden 30 Days. It is asserted by John William Smith, 203 Broadway, attorney for the jeter family, that it was only after strong evidence both by himself and by Benjamin F. Thomas, of the Maceo, 213 West 53rd street, to District Attorney Whitman that the final steps were taken to bring Zitz from Camden to this city for trial. Extradition papers were applied for immediately after the action of the Grand Jury, which found true evidence of an aggravated Koshoe Koshoe effort was made, it seems, to have prompt action taken in the case. Meyer and Buddemeyer, the two detectives, were under suspension, and the action taken in their cases seemed to have prejudiced other officers and caused them to hold off from taking any but absolutely necessary action. As Zitz had been held in Camden for thirty days and no action seemed apt to be taken to relieve the New Jersey authorities of his care, the Camden chief of police telephoned Mr. Thomas on Monday to inform him of the action for Zitz he would be released. Mr. Thomas immediately communicated with Counsel Smith, and the letters referred to above were written. Promotion was forthcoming then, and Monday an officer was sent with the necessary papers to bring Zitz to New York. He will be held for trial under a heavy bail according to the District Attorney's office. John Koshoe, jointly indicted with Zitz, has succeeded in eluding the officers of the law though it has been raining and the police are sitting around Kingston. The police could claim to be looking for, but it is not believed that they are putting forth any very zealous efforts in that direction. The attack on the little Jester girl was made the evening of November 6 at the corner of 28th street and Bailey avenue as she was en route to her home at 3140 Heath avenue. The two brutes seized her and, using a coarse, greasy chauffeur's cap as a gag, dragged her into the weeds at the side of the road, where both of them assaulted her. She has been under the doctor's care since, and for several weeks it was feared her mind was affected. NEW SUPERINTENDENT RIVERDALE ORPHANAGE M WENDRICH, M. KRYTHAMS Miss Carolyn M.

BLACK FREED OF CHARGE WAYCROSS, Ga., Dec. 16—Following one of the most sensational trials known in Ware County in years, William Young, a Negro, charged with criminally assaulting a 14-year-old white girl in the Wareboro district, was acquitted in Superior Court. The defense torc down the allegations of the prosecution, and the girl involved, who spent some time on the stand, made contradictory statements that at the time he passed down to exist as to the truth in the case. J. L. Bird, father of the girl, is a young man charged with shooting Young. Bird charged with shooting an effort to prevent his escape, denied the charge at the start, and said he was shot without provocation. Intentions that may result in disclosures of a serious nature were given by attorneys interested. It is the first time such a case has been tried in Ware in years, and is one of the few cases of record where a Negro was turned loose after being charged with such a crime.

WANT NEGRO POLICE IN BIRMINGHAM Special to THE NEW YORK ACK BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 16. "To frequent outbursts of crime in which Negroes figure, even though they are crimes of Negroes against Negroes, put the city to extra expense, make a bad name for the community and do not by any means predispose thinking people to Negroism and achievement of the Negro." Thus spoke W.J. Driver, retiring president of the Birmingham Negro Business League, the most forceful Negro organization in the community, at the public installation of the newly elected officers. In his address Mr. Driver reviewed the progress of the business league in Birmingham and advocated, the institution of Negro police officers to ferret out Negro criminals in the alleys and for the Negro districts.

Spencer in the name of the man gave Dr. Stroud the beating and Trust was not with a witness he night.. Mr. Spencer was seen and about the fight, and he gave the following version of it. "Mr. Trust and I had been imprisoned on Jewett avenue taking to Mrs. Trombon at No. 69. Leaving there Mr. Trombon went across the street to Mrs. Anderson's, with whom he and his wife he stay. He asked me to accompany him but I did not. He carpets for Mrs. Anderson the previous Sunday and had disappointed so to avoid having to make room walked on the telephone business toward Monticello. I came from Monticello avenue with package in his hand. Seeing me stopped and demanded to know what was hanging around, and some knew him, spying on him, with him it was now business as why I stood on that street. And then I asked him, since he was demanding to know so much, why it was that he was interesting himself in trying to get my furniture out of the storage warehouse to have it sent to my wife, who is in Wilmington, Del. His reply to this was that if I wanted to know why he was interested in my wife's business I should write him on the door and he said this he raised the package in his hand but I hit him before he would use it. He fell and the package was broken in the fall, proving to he a bottle of whiskey or wine. I wouldn't hit him while he was down, but as fast as he would get up I knocked him down again, sometimes hitting him two or three times before he fell. After I had knocked him down about five times a white woman came up and caught me the arm and begged me to tell me she didn't know the cause of the trouble if so she wouldn't be begging for him. While I was talking to her Stroud got his hat from the ground and Jeff." ```markdown ``` Was Doctor's Housekeeper. Mr. Spencer's wife way for a long while Dr. Stroud's housekeeper, and it was charged by Spencer that Dr. Stroud was too attentive to her. The result of Spencer's charges was that he and his wife separated, Mrs. Spencer learning town and going to Wilmington, Del., where she is working. Mr. Spencer stored his furniture with the Bergman Storage Co., Bergen and Kearney avenues, and it is claimed by him that Dr. Stroud has been frytig to have the Storage Co. bringing the furniture to Mrs. Spencer. Mr. Spencer then says the frytig is his property and his wife has no claim on it. Mr. Spencer charges, to confirm his suspicion to his wife's intimacy with Stroud, he secured permission from the folks next door to go through their lack yard and get to the rear of Stroud's house on evening while his wife was there, and that on this decession, by perching through a window, he discovered Stroud and his wife together in Stroud's bed-room minus their clothes. This Dr. Stroud denies, claiming that it was impossible for Spencer or anyone else to see in the room from the ward, to disguish the occupants of the room, or to discover what they were doing. Immediately after this happening Mr. Spencer, when accused by her husband, packed her clothes and left town, going to Wilmington, Del., where her mother lives. Trust and Stroud Once.

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 this book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for him. With Frontispiece Map Net $1.50 Doubleday, Page & Co.

Jackson of Englewood, N. J., is classy editor at the commencement exerci- ture at Harvard next June, the New York World says: Chairmen at Harvard are requested to go by fax; but the solicitation of a Negro for the occupied place of class-day crater by the occupied place of class-day crater by the occupied place of class-day crater that merit the attention, and they, without discrimination of race. This is the second time within sound memory that Harvard has appeared, the collection in the award of class-day prizes. Bridges M. L. Johnson of Englewood, or when the present distinction is conferred. Bridges Cunningham, a Negro student from Philadelphia, was chosen trurer by his class officer years ago. The fact has an interesting bearing on "An educational environment," and it should help those provoked by students respecting "wicked manners." Majesty, the Gold Count in all Harvard. There are collections of students in an undergraduate life college. A Negro student working his way through college may attain one of the highest could rewards by great ability of personal effort. Clearly it is an encouraging thing that a great university a student handcuffed by hour and should be treated with perfect dignity in the classroom and in the athletic field, and finally elevated to the post of official spokesman for his class on his fee day. Negro one-day order at "America's Oxen" bedeutet a good deal of alarm and apprehension about "race aggregation" and hold of civil rights to the Negro. These are very kind words and like very encouraging. It is pleasing to note the exceedingly charitable and optimistic frame of mind in which the New York World finds itself regarding the denial and the denial of civil rights in the Negro. The honor paid A. L. Johnson by his white classmates at Harper's affores the colored citizens cause for much gratification, and in view of the great crumbs of comfort allotted us in March 4 we eagerly pounce upon the piece of good news as does a hungry deer upon a bone. The selection of A. L. Jackson as this day orator at Harvard cannot be regarded as a true index to conditions that affect the Negro generally in the United States. Only a purely local institution is reflected. Because the teacher is fair in Boston it cannot be presumed that a similar condition exists in Washington. Harvard has always been regarded by colored Americans as the most friendly of all large American universities. In many ways has this great educational institution shown its breadth, true democracy and common sense, just as Princeton has demonstrated its leaning toward narrowness, indulgence, bigotry and un-American principles. Yes, Harvard selected a college student as class-day orator, but Princeton will not even permit a Negro matriculate. It was by this prejudiced standard set by Princeton that we gathered our estimate of Woodrow Wilson, and we do not seem to have been children in our surmise. Those who loudly protest against aggression and other forms of race persecution so rife in the United States are not alarmists, but citizens who rightly contend that the Negro should be treated in all respects as a man and a citizen as specifically provided by the Constitution of the United States. This is not being done. And until he is accorded all his civil and political rights such a sunbeam from the beclouded sky as the Jackson incident will not be so shouting as to blind us to cruel and unmeaning color prejudice. It is not often that we have a word on disfranchisement and aggregation from a man who has played up prominent a part in the past history of the race as that in the open letter of Bishop J. W. Hood, senior Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. His position on the enfranchisement proposition is the soundest that any man of the race has enunciated in late years, and is in accord with that of former Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont, published in the *Century Magazine* last summer; to which reference has been made in the Ack. Timeliness and point are given to Bishop Hood's view of the matter, because to-day in every large center of population in the South the colored people have come to the conclusion that, in-order to get any fair treatment in the government and distribution of municipal taxation they must qualify to vote as far as the law of the State allows them to do so. Speaking on the question of disfranchisement, Bishop Hood says in his open letter: "I have been so fully engaged with church duties that I have not had time to keep up with civil masters, but my people are so stirred up over this segregation propaganda that silence on my part might be regarded as indifferent. My people regard this as a purpose to degrade and distress them and to dispossess them of their hard-earned possessions. We are told that it will be a benefit to the Negro. That is what they told us about disfranchisement. But we have learned by sad experience that the opposite to this has been the result. Those who say the enfranchisement of the Negro was a mistake do not know how silly their talk seems to one who knows, it was not a mistake. If the Negro had not been given the right to vote in the reconstruction period, his condition to-day would have been worse than that of the serfs of Russia. The ballot was given the colored people at the right time. If it had not been given to them at the time that it was it would not have been given to them all. Now that they have it, it will take as much trouble to get it out of the Federal Constitution as it took to get it in there. That should be as plain to the stupid as to the wise. The States may do and have done much to abridge the right of the colored people to vote and be voted for, but as long as the right remains in the Federal Constitution some colored people will be found in every State and locality qualified and with the disposition to keep alive the right to vote for themselves and for their children. How valuable this right is and how necessary it is to keep it alive the colored people of Maryland have amply shown in the past twelve years, during which time they have successfully fought disfranchisement in their State and are now fighting with success segregation in their buying and selling and living and renting of property as others do it. The segregation principle is a vital one, which the race cannot accept without consenting to be a part of the citizenship apart, marked and branded and set aside, as the fellahreen of Egypt, the pariahs of India, the lazzaroni of Europe, as the Jews of Russia. The ballot is the best, it is the only, weapon with which the tendency toward segregation can be stayed and the rights of life and property adequately safeguarded. Those who look at the matter from any other viewpoint are as those who look through a glass darkly; they see the thing with distorted vision. The colored people will have, and have had, no adequate protection to life and property in any community, in any State where they are voters, where they are not a part of the law-making and law-enforcing citizenship. Bishop Hood speaks with the wisdom of experience, which cannot be denied as we can speak, when he says that when the colored people were adequately represented in the legislature of North Carolina they were not molested in their rights of life and property any more than other citizens were, and he could have added that they will never have release from molestation in their lives and property until they are again adequately represented in the legislature of North Carolina. This is a broad statement, but it is justified by past and present conditions in North Carolina. What is true of one State is true of all others, for the principle is the same in all of them. The "good white people" have taken a great responsibility upon them in disfranchising the colored people of the Southern States. As the lords of the land, the masters by force and fraud, they have undertaken and do what the God of Nations decreed should be done in the liberation and enfranchisement of the colored people, and he will hold them to account as the Lord of lords for the work they have done and are doing in undoing what was done by the sword of Grant and the pen of Lincoln. They need not delude themselves on that point for a moment. Meantime, let the colored people keep alive the right to vote. It is the sheet anchor of their citizenship. THE DAILY NEWSPAPER VIEW POINT. The New York Age had occasion to say, not long since, that, where there is an honest demand* for a daily newspaper for colored people, the demand will produce an honest supply. It is nicely stated, but not necessarily the correct view. What is an honest demand? There is no downright necessity for a Negro daily; perhaps there never will be. This does not mean that such a publication would not thrive in a shriffy, populous Negro community; instead, as Mound Bayou, and business interests were the same as a corresponding white community, there would be the same demand for a daily paper. But we do not think that is what is meant. Mixed communities are meant, such as the greater cities where Negroes are living. There can be no downright demand in such communities. We are at some dimdavantage when it comes to the distribution of news concerning ourselves, but what we lose in this regard will look after our greater worthy happenings, and the Lord knows they don't forget to set out the bad among us that comes to light. THE AGE insists that when there is a reading and advertising demand for a colored daily newspaper there will be one, or as many as the demand will pay for. The Freeman is entirely at sea in saying that the white daily newspapers "look after our greater worthy happenings." They do nothing of the sort. It is difficult in the South to get anything into a white daily newspaper unless those interested in it write it up and take it to the newspaper and beg the city editor to use it. We have known this to happen in Washington, and even in Philadelphia and in New York. As for detailing a reporter to cover any worthy, thing, and have him do it without prejudice and with a strict regard for the news features of it, that is of the rarest occurrence. It is just as well to tell the truth about it. The daily newspapers, the white daily newspapers, nowhere in the country are friendly to the colored people and give them fair and just treatment in their news and editorial columns. Here and we find one that does it, but it is the exception and not the rule. The obvious conclusion is that we need daily newspapers of our own, and need them badly, but there is a big distinction between what people want and what they are able and willing to pay for. There are plenty of things colored people need and should have, but they are not ready and willing to pay for them. Daily newspapers are of this character. They do not adequately support the weekly newspapers they have and that are entirely worthy of support. If colored people want to find anything good said of them they have to go to the colored newspapers to find it, but in a large city like New York ten colored people read a white daily newspaper to one who reads a colored weekly newspaper. THE WHITE MAN'S TROUBLES. In a late issue of the London Spectator is a very interesting and suggestive editorial bearing upon racial conditions in South Africa. The white man in South Africa seems to be in continual danger and in such perpetual trepidation He is afraid of the native black man and now he seems more afraid of the East Indian, who has been imported into South Africa in large numbers for the purpose of labor. The white man in South Africa really seems to be in a pitiful condition. He always wants protection of some kind from some race of some color. He cannot or will not perform the rough menial labor himself, and when he imports the East Indian to perform it for him he is constantly afraid that the East Indian will grow intelligent, will get hold of wealth, will become owner of property and, therefore, demand a share in the government of the country. The white man in South Africa is equally afraid of the black native. He wants the labor of the East Indian and the black native, but does not want to have them become intelligent, thrifty or fourteen million of them must know in any way that of these directions the poor white man gets at once into a panic性 condition. Really the white man in South Africa reserves the sympathy and the pity of the world. We do not know how to suggest a remedy for his pitiful condition except to gradually teach him that in proportion as all people are taught that one man is equal to another and should have the same opportunities and rights, many of the imaginary fears he now suffers under will disappear. VARDAMAN AT HOME. "The white people will have to 'go way back and sit down'." In the size and attendance, and in the character of their parades and exhibits, the Negroes outstripped the white people at the fair." —Jackson (Miss.) Neus. The above was not taken from a Northern paper or from a colored paper, but from the leading white daily paper published in Jackson, Mississippi, the home of Vardaman. To the outsider it is surprising how a man like Vardaman can misrepresent the public sentiment of the thinking people of a commonwealth. We predict that Vardaman and his kind will soon have their end. The colored people of Mississippi are to be congratulated upon their fine display at this exposition; they have set an example for the people of our race and other races both North and South. FALSE STATEMENTS "Hundreds of wealthy Negroes and whites all over the United States contributed financially toward the exposition. The Legislature of New York State' appropriated $25,000 for the project, but that was not nearly sufficient. The difference was made up by those interested in the welfare of the Negro race. One Wealthy Negro, owner of thirteen plantations in the South, and said to be worth close to a million dollars, gave a large sum. "Delegations were present from Santo Domingo, Haiti and Liberia, the Negro republics. Haiti's delegation received especial attention from the American Negroes because of the fact that Haiti's first President was a Negro slave."—Exchange. All of which is absolutely false except the one statement to the effect that the State of New York appropriated $25,000. Such statements given out to the public by paid writers are wholly misleading and immoral. EDITORIAL NOTES Church rows are easy things to get into and hard things to get out of. And there is nothing more disagreeable than a church row. Each reader of The Age should take pride in commending it to his neighbor. Subscriptions through your efforts will be appreciated. The St. Louis Argus is getting out a bright, neway publication, which, from reports, is making a favorable impression on the colored citizens of St. Louis and vicinity. The Journal of the National Medical Association, edited by Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tennessee, for the last quarter is out and in many respects is by far the most attractive and instructive publication that has come under our notice. This creditable publication should have the hearty support of all of our physicians. The penny savings bank in Harlem that was to come is still coming. When it gets here it will be a good thing. It is wonderful how many good things in the world come to happen for their own benefit. Afterward the man behind a thing is the thing. What we need everywhere more than we have are ideas with men behind them. Mr. George K. King, well known to readers of The Advocate, succeeded Mr. J. Wilson Crawford as editor of the Harrisburg Advocate-Verdict. Mr. King has done much splendid work as a correspondent in the Southern States and should succeed in his new position. Mr. Halghhead has become a partner in the magazine and his retirement from active journalism will be regretted by them. The Philadelphia Tribune, which has grown old in prosperity, has been enlarged to the size of The Age, and makes a splendid appearance. During the past year, the Tribune has turned into a new home of its own and purchased a new press and linotype machine. These evidences of prosperity are encouraging to all of our newsmen, the people of the Tribune who own their own as the spokesmen of the hopes and achievements of the people. The colored people of New York City and of other places will have a daily newspaper, a daily newspaper of number of readers and a sufficient volume of possible advertising to justify the venture. The Richmond Planet quite agrees with the Age as to this. Since colored weekly newspapers are in a better position to gage what the colored reader and the general advertisers are ready to do in support of a colored daily newspaper than others. When we shall have daily newspapers and plenty of them. He is a wise man who knows when to have a cold, or other alliment. In order to plead absence in a place where he is desired to be present. President Wilson seems to be that sort of man, who is not afraid of anything he has a cold or other alliment. It was that way with him when the Suffraistas held a convention in Washington and wanted him to attend one of their meetings. The President could not see it, and so had a cold. He was not so worried about it that they appointed a committee to remain in Washington until the cold had left the President. When a woman will, she will, and when she won't, she won't. Charles B. Warren, of Detroit, chairman of the legal committee appointed by the National Republican Committee to inquire into the matter of the pro- posed change in the basis of representation in National conventions, in order to meet the party conditions in the Southern States, has reached and published a conclusion, that the National Committee has taken the basis of representation and voting in the convention. Delegates shall be chosen according to the laws of their States, instead of according to the directions of the National Committee. The committee has been a disturbing issue in the party since the administration of President Harrison, when the first effort was made to "Lilywilize" the Republican party in the Southern States. Mayor Lew Shank of Indianapolis has resigned his rather than face impeachment proceeding. He has a bad thing to do when a man finds himself in a position where he can't go forward without falling. down. Mayor Shank undertook to do too much for the people of Indianapolis which they should have left to do for the people of New York and buying potatoes, turkeys and other foods like, in the market place. He meant well but the other place, it is said, is paved with good intentions. Viscount Haldane, the Lord High Chancellor of England, who was recently among us, has a good opinion of the United States and "a deep sense of the high ideals of the British and American nations hold in common—the high ideals of the countries." That is funny. If he had studied the situation more closely he would have found that the best Americans spend most of their time in striving to recover the lost ideals of citizenship which made the Federal great and the State great, to 1833, when the Democratic administration came on with other ideals than those that have made the nation great and strong. Business growth, it seems, is a thing that cannot be forced among the colored people in the North or the South. Business and professional men who have to deal with this matter, as well as our preachers, know that it is very important to be a color deponer change his bank account, his white to his colored bank, and so with the doctor and dentist and lawyer and tradesman. We have most confidence in the white people, but most motors where white people refuse absolutely to handle our business. This is very generally true in the South in most linen of business, but the white people in the Negro districts, mostly Jews, get more colored patronage than colored men in the same line of business. Persecution may cure us of the disposition of foliage, but the long distance and disadvantage, but persecution has a big job on its hands. Letter Carrier Compliments The Age: To the Editor of The Age: Enclosed find check for renewal of my subscription to your valuable paper which is unquestionably the beat, by our artists and our colorist by our people. Together with wishing you unmeasured success for the future, as a letter carrier I wish to especially thank you for your material and most effective campaign against segregation and discrimination. Their inclusion is more that you could find it agreeable to influence our leading orators to discontinue enumerating "what we have got before audiences in which are little better." Their inclusion is unquestionably good but the price is too costly. In my feeble judgment I could only compare it to to Braddock's march in colorful dresses. Our look at the farm segregation laws and see the white industrial schools for manual training. Again wishing you the best of all there is, I am. GEO. A. GARRETT. Little Rock, Ark. History of Negro To the Editor of The Assi: Not the least noteworthy of the literary and historic marks of the fifty years of freedom of the race is the appearance of an up-to-date history of the Negro in America. If nothing else were produced to emphasize the event, the sending forth of such an achievement defies the story of its dreams and travail, its progress and achievements would alone make it as an event of some significance. We have numerous works discussing the Negro from every angle of thought; but we have no one work which gives in so succient a form so much information to the reader. A "Short history of the American Negro," published by Macmillan. Williams's great history related the story from 1619 to 1880, and, having been a soldier, he was enamored more with the military valor and exploits of his life. Besides, since 1850 the race has been born anew—an new generation has come on the scene of action who has not been baptized with shot and shell, who knows of slavery only as an historical fact from books and hearst, and who has been in the nation for the life of the nation. There was a whole world of achievement and experience consequently of which Williams could not know, and this has been left for the next generation, of which Dean Brawley is an illustrious man. His race is to be congratulated that it has one so competent to tell the story. In a succession of seven chapters the dean has traced the history of the Negro from the African slave coast to the day when the press allowed his stories to be published, beginning slavery in the colonies, he develops the social and economic aspect of the system, the constitutional and legal guarantees which upheld it, and the moral revolution entailed in the formation of the Republic. Passing to the period when slavery became the great national issue, menacing the nation, he traces the critical historical discourse that has shaped the nation culminated in forcible emancipation. From emancipation to the present the Dean deals with his story in a series of chapters, elucidating his theme in several essay chapters on the development of emancipation. In these subdivisions there is a view of the latest information and statistics obtainable on these special topics. Subjects discussed are Missionary, Undergraduate, Negro Education, "The Negro Church," "Negro Education," "Disfranchisement," "The Negro as a Soldier," and "The Negro's Achievement in Literature, Art and Invention." It will be seen that these topics about cover the whole of any Negro. The dean's treatment of his subject is sane, moderate, balanced, his style chatee and classically simple. There is integration and bombast common in works of this character, but a quiet, sustained narrative of the wrongs and woes, the doubts and fear, the dreams and struggles, the agonies and vices, the fears and anguish, but who are now emerging into the stature of the full-grown man. The author does not exploit a theory, or champion a cause, or hold a brief for any man, movement or institution. His work is not only a special pleading or violent parentalship. He writes in the cold, clear light of historic fact, weighing, sitting, judging each man and each institution impartially and yet withinal sympathetic regard. He writes in the dark, the tory as to an armory for ammunition with which to destroy some other member of the race will be disappointed; leaders who look in it for unintended harm and for which they seek; but the thoughtful, serious, trust-loving and truth-seeking American of any race who seeks to knoe, somewhat briefly, of the story of the Negro from the early days to the present day, and in which his levy's book a clear, simple, balanced, unblessed narrative. Every Negro and every white man in the country ought to read it. It will be a message of hope to the doubting, a spur to the thinking, a vivid story, a thankful who asks, "Can any good come out of Nazareth?" WILLIAM V. TUNNELL Professor Washington, D.C. Memory in Poultry and Pigeon Raising. To the Editor of The Arg: I am just starting in the pigeon business on a small plan. Mr. Jefferson and myself have been asked by the Governor of Illinois to exhibit our work at the interstate or springfield, Ill., in 1916. There should be more Negroes in this line of business. When business in the cities fall move a short distance from the city and rent or buy one or two acres of land. Buy chickens on a small scale if you cannot afford to buy a number at a time, but buy good stock. JOHN R. GATES. Plainfield, N. J., Dec. 10. RED CANDY AND VERMIFUGE (From Buffalo, N. Y., Commercial.) Booker T. Washington writes in the November World's Work: "At one time when I was a young boy working in the coal mines of Virginia, I went to the after school work feeling tired, sick and discouraged. A neighbor, wishing to cheer me up and make me feel better, offered me a large red stick of candy. That and a few other candy I eagerly. My mother, who knew my condition and my needs, told me that it was not candy that I needed, but a good big dose of vermifuge, which I had been given as medicine. I firmly believe, that was ever concocted. However, it was in general use in those days for almost every real and imaginary aliment. In face vermifuge was about the only medicine I had ever used in coal mining districts of West Virginia. Contrary to my mother's advice I took the candy and put the vermifuge aside. The next day I came out of the house and went to the coal mining district of West Virginia. I was still worse. Finally I decided to follow the advice of mother and take my medicine. So I throw back my head and held my nose. My mother forced the nasty stuff down with me. The next day, however, I felt faint. Now in my experience in working with my race I found that the Necro meets with two classes of advisers and kindly disposed, and kindly disposed, one class of advisers hands him the red candy and the other offers the vermifuge. Very often it has been a hard task for me to make certain kinds of colored people see that the candy is not really rather than the candy. Still, the Necro is learning this lesson, and nothing gives me more genuine satisfaction at the present time than to note that the Necro is willing to take the country are willing to take the vermifuge in place of the red candy. Negro Commercial Congress Socialist, The New York Aur. Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 16- The Commercial Congress for all Nexroces of Greater Birmingham and Jefferson Birmingham and the Amendment of the Baptist Minister's Union the interdenominational Ministerial Alliance and the Negro Business League of Birmingham.

Morris, president of the National趴痫 Convention, was appointed a member of the committee to arrange for an international Peace Conference to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of peace among the English-speaking people of the world. He attended a meeting of the committee-at the Hotel Jefferson, Richmond, Va., December 4, and made an address. Among other things he said: "I am identified with a race of people who have not always, been considered a part of the English-speaking people of the world, but under a special dispensation of an unterring Providence these people have been separated from hundreds of dialects of their fatherland and have been taught the English language and may rightly be considered a part of the English-speaking peoples of the world. As a race the American Negro still hear the Enamour falling like the lips of angels "Glory God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men," and they shall hall with inexpressible delight the triumphant march of the Gospel of Peace whose equitable teachings will ultimately bring every man to recognize every other man as his brother and God as the Father of us all." WHITE FOLK BURY "MAMMY." (From New York Evening Post) In Athens on last Sunday there was witnessed a scene which could have taken place only in the South. It was the funeral services of an old antiquarian whose death was known as Aunt Laura, Billipa. The white people of Athens loved Aunt Laura. She had so conducted herself as to win the regard of the people, writes James Callaway, in the book *The Old Time Southern* of the old-time Southern "mammy." Many of her white friends were present at the funeral service, and sent flowers to grace her blier. The Rev. E. L. Hill of the First Presbyterian Church in R. Hodson, Sr., paid a beautiful tribute to Aunt Laura, extolling her virtues and 'lamenting her death. The Athens banner thus ledderly speaks of this faithful old Aunt Laura, who represented a type fast passing away. "Her humble life-work is finished. She has passed from the shadows to light beyond the stars. May the green turf rest lightly on her ashes, and wild wild grass where she resurrected morn she rests in 'His beloved sleep.'" KANSAS CITY.

At 12: Representative Minds That Conditions Have Improved But Little No Not Permitted to Use Rest Room in This District Building - Other Evidences of Discrimination WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17.—An investigation made by a representative of The Act discloses the fact that the reports published in several friendly daily papers that the Democrats had seen the error of their segregation policy and had changed conditions is not wholly true. In some departments the tendency to segregate colored clerks has been stopped, but separate toilet still greet colored clerks in the Postoffice, Treasury and other departments. In the District Building instructions have been given not to indicate to colored women visitors that the rest room for all females is on the first floor. The second floor is only open to them. In the Treasury Department the "Jim Crow" signs are down, but separate toilet still abound. In the Postoffice Department, where the Republican Auditor Kram is said to be the pioneer in segregation, a few small changes have been made. "I have not seen any marked abatement in segregation in the office of Auditor for the Postoffice Department." a high-grade colored clerk told a representative of The Acm. "It is true that colored men work with a few white men, but you never see a colored clerk working in the same room with a white female clerk. John Skelton Williams, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, started this segregation business, and it soon spread to other departments. The change for the better has been slight." BALTIMORE MD.

WALTON) AUDEVILLE is to have in his midst for a limited engagement the well-known cannon, Bart A. Williams, who will appear in the principal Keith houses at a salary of $2,000 weekly. Mr. Williams will open at the Palace Theatre, New York. This sum is the largest ever paid a colored performer and the records show that but few white members of the theatrical profession are fortunate enough to come in contact with such a bank roll on pay day. Our mathematicians figure out that a salary of $2,000 a week enables one to modestly state that his monthly salary is $8,000 a month. Additional computation will show that a working man who can command a salary of $2,000 monthly is paid at the rate of $104,000 a year. President Woodrow Wilson's weekly salary does not amount to $2,000 and the Illum of Mona, Jones, who was operated on for throat trouble. This is the first vacation Mona. Jones has had during the regular theatrical season for eighteen years. THEATRICAL JOTTING. Wilber C. Sweetman is at the Bronx Theatre. Watts & Willis are at Ford's Theatre, Lynchburg. The Kemps are at the Shubert Theatre, Brooklyn. Miller & Lyle are at the Savoy Theatre, Atlantic City. Jones & Gray are at the Globe Theatre, Wilson, N.C. The McCarvers are at the Family Theatre, Rochester. Joe and Mona Shannon are at the Family Theatre, Moline, Ill. Sellman & Jackson are at the Foraker Theatre, Washington. O BERT A. WILLIAMS unlurious of the poor Cabinet officers and Senators pale into such insignificance that it would be unpatriotic to make a comparison. It is quite likely that were Senators Vardaman, Tillman and Hoke Smith to hear that a colored man was paid $2,000 weekly in Uncle Sam's currency for appearing about thirty minutes twice a day to make people laugh there would be several funerals in the South-hand. Bert Williams will appear in vaude-wille under the management of Ziegfeld, Klew & Erhanger. His managers had planned to put him out this season in a big musical production, but they concluded to abandon these arrangements, which were only tentative, owing to unfavorable conditions in the theatrical business. A feature of the large salary to be paid Bert Williams is that he will receive $2,000 without having booking commission deducted, which is equal to $2,250. Mme. Sissieretta Jones (Black Patti) has entirely recovered from her recent illness and will soon make her debut as a vaudevillian. She will be seen on the variety stage the balance of the season. Mme. Jones received numerous alluring offers in recent years to do a vaudeville turn, but she turned them all down, even refusing to work in the summer after her show had closed. Next season Mme. Jones will be seen in a new three-act musical comedy, which will be the most pretentious offering in which the renowned singer has ever appeared. At least, this is the present engagement. To the Dramatic Editor of THE ACE: If space permits, will you please announce through the columns of your valuable paper my sincere thanks and appreciation to my many friends for their kind letters of sympathy during my recent illness. I am happy to state that I have entirely recovered from my indigestion and shortly before the holidays I shall appear in a limited number of vancouver engagements for the balance of the current season. For the season of 1944-15 my managers are arranging for a new three-act musical comedy of pretensions order and magnificent production, to be given at the better class of festivals in the United States and Canada.

Commercially he ad automobiles are of greater tance to him than piano plays CRESCENT THEATRE Harry Olsham, the affable manager of the Crescent Theatre, provided an entertaining bill for the Crescent patrons the first half of the week. Ed Tolliver, tenor, opened the bill, appearing in some of his familiar character roles. Godfrey & Bernard, two youngsters who recently came to New York from the Middle West, should make their mark in vaudeville. They have sweet, fresh tenor voices, but know little about putting an act together. There is no good reason for the comedian using cork, and if the straight man would abandon the idea of using evening clothes, both performers appearing in every-day attire, they would make a more favorable impression as entertainers. Emma Butler is a clever little performer who impresses one as being capable of doing dramatic work if she had to. She has an odd and effective way of putting over a number, and besides knows how to save her voice. She is also a neat dancer. The Crescent Stock Company is back at the Crescent and making them laugh as of yore. In the cast are Ed Hunter, Ed Tolliver, Lank and Mae Simms, "Dingbat" and Bob Lee. LAFAYETTE THEATRE The Lafayette Theatre is to forsake vaudeville and musical comedy for melodrama. Commencing Monday, December 22, the sensational melodrama, "The Outlaw's Christmas," will be presented by an all-star cast. The play is described as "a thrilling, alluring tale of the Yuletide as spent by a famous bandit of the wild and wooly West." The following prices will prevail under the new arrangement: Matinee, 10 and 15 cents; evenings, 15, 25 and 35 cents. Matinees will be given daily For the week of December 29, "Dealers in White Women" will be put on. The My Friend From Kentucky Company will close its engagement at the Lafayette Theatre Saturday evening. THREE OF A KIND. (From Life.) There are three pianists touring the United States this year who stand at the very top of their profession. It is hardly necessary to state that the three are Ignace Paderewski, Harold Bauer and Josef Hotmann. In spite of the fact that these gentlemen are all pianists par excellence, they are of distinctly different types, and, therefore, scarcely enter into competition with one another. Mr. Paderewski is the last word in pianistic romanticism. He represents the imaginative and sentimental phases of the art in their highest form. His famous hair, with its overflow of emotional vitality, is an index to his character and his playing. In appearance, as well as in art Paderewski is the direct descendant of Rubinstein, Liszt and other giants of the romantic school. Mr. Bauer is the exact opposite. He is a classicist, pure and simple. He is the only man who has recently had the courage to present to a New York audience a programme devoted to the works of Bach and Beethoven, and, what is more, he is the only man who could possibly have aroused real enthusiasm with, such a programme. Mr. Bauer is never sentimental or imaginatively romantic in his attitude toward his art. Rather does he show a self-effacing reverence for the composers whose works he interprets, and a sincere determination to reproduce their real meaning if it be humanly possible. Mr. Hofmann, however, is probably the most remarkable of the three, both in character and in his art. He is neither romanticist nor classicist, but a practical master of his instrument, with a well-balanced set of nerves, emotions and talents. He plays the piano because he enjoys THE NEW YORK TIMES it, and because he knows his audience will enjoy it. He goes at it very much as an American business man sits down to a good game of cards. There is nothing ostentatious in Mr. Hofmann's appearance. He is simply a modern gentleman who does an artistic thing supremely well. Commercially he admits that automobiles are of greater importance to him than piano playing. Possibly that is the secret of his tremendous popularity with American audiences. AMPHION'S SONG SERVICE. The Amphion Glee Club, Prof. J. Henry Lewis, director, will present the following program in song service Sunday, December 14, at 3.30 o'clock at the Metropolitan Zion Church, D street between Third and Fourth street, S.

THE New York State Athletic Commission has become quite charita- able and gracious around Christmas time by deciding to allow Jack Johnson to retain the world's championship title. The Negro citizens should tender the members of the commission a vote of thanks for giving the black pugilist permission to keep the much-sought-after laurels he so easily wrested from Jeffries. Of course, Johnson would still be the world's champion whether the State Athletic Commission decided one way or the other. It would make no material difference, for Jack Johnson will be the leading exponent of the manly art of self-defense just as long as he remains undefended in the prize ring or does not retire. Any attempts to separate Johnson from his title by highway robbery methods would be of no avail. Pugilists do not forfeit their titles because of acts of indiscretion in private life. If so, many white fighters would have been bared of their honors in the past. And if Johnson is to be retired as champion heavyweight of the world, then Ty Cobb should lose distinction as the premier batter and base runner of the American League on account of his acts of rowdyism. And some of our renowned actors and grand opera singers, whose names grace the billboards, should be relieved of their high standard as artists because of their hilarious mode of living. The State Athletic Commission was called upon to decide this "most important" question by Victor Breyer, a French authority. It seems that Paul Rosseau, head of the French Federation of Boxing, put himself on record as ousting Johnson from the ranks of titleholder because he refused to meet men picked out for him in France. On the theory advanced by Rosseau, the Philadelphia Athletics would be forced to forfeit its world's championship title for refusing to play the Lincoln Giants or some other strong colored baseball team. L. A. W. FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP The question was asked by THE AGE in its issue of December 4, "Who is Southern Champion?" referring to the football teams. Fisk, Tuskegee and Morehouse were tied up in a knarled Gordian knot on the question. Now that full returns are available for all the games played, it seems that the question is more difficult to answer instead of being simplified. Tuskegee played five games, of which three were 0-0 ties with Morehouse, Talladega and Fisk. Tuskegee won the other two. Tuskegee was not scored on. Morehouse played six games, winning three, losing one to Fisk by a score of 25 to-9, and having two 0-0 ties with Talladega and Tuskegee. Fisk and Atlanta, University scored on Morehouse. Fisk played five games, winning four, and playing a 0-0 tie with Tuskegee. Fisk was not scored on. Talladega was not on Fisk's schedule. Livingston at Salisbury, N. C., would seem to be a contender for honors, playing five games and winning all of them, but Livingston played all light teams as compared with the other three. Hampton clearly has the edge on Howard, as Hampton won all its games, defeating Howard and Lincoln, while Howard could only play Lincoln to a 0-0 tie besides losing to Hampton. Of the smaller schools the honors seem to belong to Haines Institute, Augusta, which played three games, winning all of 130 against 7 for its opponents.. Atlanta University was only defeated by the strong Morehouse eleven, but succeeded in scoring 11 against 16 for Morehouse.

FOR L JANUARY 21 At MANHATTAN CASINO The port taken by the colored business gun of Nashville in the building campaign for the Central Branch for the Young Men's Christian Association is a remarkable achievement. Few men in connection with the reports during the building campaign created more enthusiasm or won more applause than the report which was made to the members at the Maxwell House luncheon in the spring of 1880. Nashville had subscribed more than 800 for the Central Branch Y. M. C. A. building. One well-known business man remarked that this represented more in sacrifice in service than 8000 from some other citizens. "In view of the fact of the needs of the work of the association for colored boys and young men and the meager resources at the command of the Colored Men's Branch, it is a tremendous testimony to the public spirit of the colored men of Nashville that they should have of their initiative in the Black contribution to the white Young Men's Christian Association building." CONTINUATES $1000 TO ! CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS 5 large rooms, bath, quiet house. $16 and $17 per month. INQUIRE ON PREMISES W.

After the morning service Dr. Brooks announced that the trustees had purchased the property on the west side of the edifice and the obligations encumbrant on the church. The official announcement of the result the rally just ended is $5,000. of the trustees' money. Mrs. Sara E. Brooks, $293.60; Mrs. Mary E. Johnson, $231; the three highest amounts turned in.
