BETTER ACCOMMODATIONS FOR NEGROES ON SOUTHERN RAILROADS Booker T. Washington Writes Letter to The Age on the Subject VOL. XXVII No. 23 BETTER ACCOMMEN NEGROES ON SOU Booker T. Washin to The Age WHAT RAILROAD MEN SAY Heads of Several Lines Operating in the South Admit the Negro Is Not Getting Square Deal in Way of Transportation SUGGESTS A 'RAILROAD DAY' Tushegeeon Believes Railroad Officials Are Now Willing to Cooperate with Newly-Imposed Conditions Railroad officials of lines operating in the South are in a state of mind and willing to recognize the justice of the Negro's claim for better accommodations on trains and in railroad stations, in the statement made by Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee institute, in a letter to The Age. Dr. Washington, in his letter, says that if the Negro citizens go about it in the right way they will be able to do away with what has been a long source of complaint. The Tuskegee suggests that Negro citizens set aside one day in the year, to be known as "Railroad Day," when members of the race throughout the country might go to the officials of railroads, wherever conditions demanded such action, and seek the co-operation of the railroad heads to improve conditions. Dr. Washington's letter follows: To the Editor of The Age: Some months ago I sent out marked copies to railway officials in every part of the South of an article written for the Century Magazine in which I referred to the most treatment of colored people on railroads. In addition a letter was written, calling attention to the portion of the article marked. It might interest those of our people who are seeking to improve the bad conditions that exist on many railroads to read some of the replies from these officials to these communications. In one case, for example, the president of the railroad had a copy of the Century Magazine article placed in the hands of every officer on his road. I am asking that you publish the extracts from these letters, because a little later on it is my purpose to urge our people to set aside one day in the year that might be called "Railroad Day," upon which throughout the country wherever conditions demand it we can go to the officials of the railroads and speak to them about the bad conditions that exist with a view of our co-operating with these railroad officials in order to bring about better conditions. I think the extracts from these letters indicate that the railroad officials are now in a state of mind where in most cases they are willing to recognize the justice of our claim for better things; in fact, some of them have already acted. When the proper time comes, we should take up with the officials concerned, the matter of accommodations provided in restaurants, sitting rooms, street cars, steam cars, steamboats, etc. For the present, I am giving you these extracts for publication in order to show that there is an opportunity, if we go about it in the right way, to do away with what has been a long standing source of complaint. Round to Receive Attention C. J. Millis, assistant to President William Sproule, of the Southern Pacific, writes "Am very much obliged by your letter of October 9, transmitting your printed article 'Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance,' and note with interest your reference to transportation facilities afforded in the South. These matters are bound to receive attention, and we hope the objections will be overcome in due course." Already Making Improvement. black passenger manager Koala & Santa Fe Rail stores follows. I am in favor of the 5th article by yourself in the Century Man- ual way. I invest planned to learn already provided travel in con- tained in your current time 75 per used in Oklahoma people have two being a smoking com- mander for men and an separate toilet As new cars ones are con- dent of that type and have all of the same instants Well-Founded. and general Louisiana company, says. It will endure, being an article which re- lates to the Century Wage sine. I shall take pleasure in reading this article and from glancing through it. I am inclined to think that the statement that the Neuro is not getting a square deal in the way of transportation facilities, is well-founded." Appreciates Colored Patronage. W. Coughlin, general superintendent, Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway Company, writes: "I have carefully read the article to which you have called special attention and in connection therewith wish to say that while no doubt there is ground for complaint at times, am inclined to the opinion that as a whole the situation alluded to is improving. In fact, accommodations for white and colored passengers on our motor car trains are identical. On other trains there is not much difference except in emergency cases where it becomes necessary to use temporary equipment that was not intended for passenger trains, but such cars as are used for the handling of both white and colored passengers, as well as employees on freight trains. I assure you that our company appreciates the patronage of the colored people, and that it is our desire to do what we can consistently for their comfort and convenience while traveling on our road." Railways Not Philanthropists. W. B. Biddle, receiver and chief traffic officer of the St. Louis and Can Francisco Railroad, writes: "I have read yours of October 10, and the pamphlet enclosed with a great deal of interest. I am quite sure that there is a disposition on the part of the carriers to do anything that they properly can to improve the conditions of the colored race. The conditions under which the carriers are operating at this time are, in many respects, so burdensome as to leave very little opportunity for the adoption of any philanthropic movements. I shall be very glad, however, to discuss this subject with the executive officers of other lines as opportunity offers." Does Not Apply to Missouri Pacific. B. F. Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific Railway Company, states "The conditions cited in the article are not applicable to the Missouri Pacific It is a fact that separate cars are maintained on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern for the Negroes, but my information is that they are cleanly kept and adequate to meet all demands however. I thank you for bringing the matter to my attention." Are Making Improvements. N. M. Leach, traffic manager, The Texas & Pacific Railway Company, writes: "In recent times the T. & P. Railway has made some improvement in the service afforded our colored patrons, and we are making an effort to further improve this service. We have received a number of expressions of appreciation from our colored patrons in Louisiana and Texas. I have read all of your article with a great deal of interest." Given Careful Consideration. W. G. Van Vleck, writing for the president, W. B. Scott, of the Sunset-Central Lines, says: "The matters referred to in your letter October 10 have been given very careful consideration by these lines. A few months ago we installed in our Sunset Express all steel equipment and precisely the same character of car is used for colored as well as white passengers. Later on we did the same thing with Nos. 7 and 8, and still later Nos. 11 and 12. These cars are all-st steel and all of the same kind. On the Central Lines north of Houston, trains 15, 16, 17 and 18, and on H. E. & W. T. trains 1 and 2 are similarly equipped. Local trains will be taken care of as fast as more equipment of this kind is available." Letter Forwarded to Mr. Gould. George H. Taylor, vice-president of the International and Great Northern Railway Company, writes as follows: "I have your letter of the 11th instant, addressed to Mr. Frank J. Gould, enclosing copy of your article recently printed in the Century Magazine, entitled 'The Greatest' Source of Dissatisfaction to the Negro in the South', namely, railway travel conditions. I have forwarded your letter and its enclosures to Mr. Gould in Statement Entirely Right. L. f. Franklin, president of the San Antonio, Uvalde & Gulf Railroad, replies as follows: "I think you are entirely right in what you say in the pamphlet you enclose me. So far as this railroad is concerned, we are in a section of Texas where there is no much Negro travel, but we are giving the Negro just as good accommodations as we are giving to the whites." Appreciates the Colored Travel. I. C. Hinkle, general passenger agent of the Georgia Railway Company writes, "Yours of recent date will marked copy of an article which recently appeared in the Century Magazine has been duly received. The copy will give consideration and I hope to write you further later. The management of this company appreciates the colored travel and we desire to handle it satisfactorily." WHITEMAN'S STORE FAMILY MARKET BASKET Russell Subject Receiving Attention. A. A. Matthews, superintendent of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway System, says: "I have read with interest your article entitled, 'Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance,' which you enclose with your letter of October 9. The subject of better accommodation for Negro passengers is one that is receiving much thought by the railroads of the South, and I think, as our lines are improved and better coaches are used, that the Negro will share in the benefit. As for the Texas Central except for a short distance, we very seldom handle Negro passengers, but when we do their compartment in our coaches is upholstered the same and receives the same care as the part provided for white passengers." Received the Article. C. B. Rhodes, general passenger agent of the Georgia, Southern & Florida Railway Company, replies as follows: "I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 13th inst., enclosing marked copy of an article of yours which was recently printed in the Century Magazine, for which please accept my thanks." Will Look Carefully Into the Matter. Albert T. Perkins, president of the New Iberia and Northern Railroad Company, writes. "Your letter of October 8 with copy of article reprinted from Century Magazine was duly received, and I have read the article through with care and much interest. I have realized to some extent the situation as to railroad accommodations which you described, and I hope I have been instrumental in some cases in bettering certain features on various roads in Texas, Louisiana, etc., in which I have been concerned. As to the New Iberia and Northern Railroad, the passenger service is for the most part given by large steel motor cars in which the accommodations for whites and blacks are equipped in identically the same manner. Your letter will have the effect of my examining with some greater care the arrangements on several other railroads with which I am connected and I thank you for sending me your article." Will Be Glad to Read It. C. H. Hix, president of the Northern Southern Railway Company, says "This is a acknowledge receipt of yours from the 14, with enclosure which I will be left to read." Policy Is to Improve. W. W. Finley, president of the Southern Railway Company states: "I have noted what you say as to the treatment of Negro travelers on railways in the south. The matter of accommodations for Negroes is one which has been saving the attention of the management of this company and it is one to be taken more acclimatization for our staff practically for our needs." . . . I am sure your readers will be received in the above extracts and in hope which are to follow next week (Similal) BOOKER T. WASTINVORT Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. February 28, 1914.

COULD NOT LIVE IN IT Special to The New York Age GREENSBORO, N. C., March 3.--After purchasing a home or block occupied by white people and moving in, Prof. W. B. Windsor, principal of the colored graded school, was forced by a special ordinance passed at the meeting of the city commissioners, called for that purpose to move out and sell the house. When Professor Windsor moved in the white people on the block became incensed and demanded that he vacate. The meeting of the commissioners followed, and an ordinance was passed segregating the Negroes, the law taking effect immediately. Mr. Windsor paid $3,100 for the property and was forced to sell for $2,700, suffering a loss of $400. A further development in the case has been the signing of a petition by five hundred white citizens, asking the school board to dismiss Prof. Windsor from his position as principal of the colored school.

The only order of Miss Has Largest Circulation PRICE FIVE CENTS SOUTHERN PAPER FLAYS VARDAMAN Waco "Morning Times" Accuses Mississippi of Playing Politics THE NEGRO DEFENDED Influential Southern Daly Says Vardamam's Views Do Not Represent Fair Progressive Sentiment of the South. NEGRO NEEDS FRIENDLYHAND Texas Publication Says Negro Agricultural Schools Should Profit by Government's Agricultural Extension Plan. Waco, Texas, March 3.--Asserting that his views by no means represent the fair progressive sentiment of the South on the Negro question, and accusing him of playing politics and seriously reflecting upon the intelligence of the state he represents, Senator James K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, was recently lambasted editorially by the Waco Morning News, one of the leading papers in the South, which has joined the ranks of daily papers to tire of Vardaman's cowardly effort to keep in the lightlight by vilifying the Negro. Under the caption of "Vardaman and the Negro," the Morning News: James K. Vardaman is a United States Senator from the State of Mississippi. He is an ex-governor of that State which has given to this and other commonwealths of the nation some of their brightest men. Judging from his long career in public life he enjoys the confidence of a large part of the electorate of that State. On many subjects, doubtless he will engage in a tangent occasionally. And this occasion arises every time he meets or hears a Negro mentioned for any favor or consideration. These poor, unfortunate blocs, on the prejudice against whom Mr. Vardaman has risen to political station and remained there, are made the objects of his vitriolic abuse every time anyone suggests giving them a fair chance. And while these diatribes may succeed in bringing the Senator votes and building up his political barkers at home, they force people from other states to regret that a man with so contracted a vision was ever sent to the Federal Senate, which ought to be composed of the broadcast-gauged and best informed men of the country. In his debate with Senator Jones, of Washington, on the proposition to allow the Negro agricultural colleges of the South to participate in the expenditure of the funds contributed by the Federal Government for agricultural extension, Mr. Vardaman belittled himself and seriously reflected upon the intelligence of the State which he represents. In the United States Senate questions should have wide discussion among its members, unhindered by such lightning prejudices as the gentleman from Mississippi. He was sent there to represent the whole people of his State and when he declares that the "white man would do more for the Negro than the Negro could do for himself" we would but congratulate the Negroes of the South that their welfare is not wrapped up in the hands of white men of the same view as that represented by Mr. Vardaman. We agree thoroughly with Senators Jones, Clapp and Gallinger that the Negro industrial and agricultural schools of the South should share some of the Federal appropriation for farm demonstration work in this section of the country. They are citizens the same as the whites. Many of them own property. Those who own property pay their taxes. The large majority of the Negro citizens are law-abiding, and the gentleman from Mississippi was playing politics—and very small politics at that—and catering to a reproducible race prejudice when he beaten by him in the street. All leaders of the Negro race are agreed that the farm is the best place for the black man. Every effort should be made to keep him there. But if the stronger white race denies to the Negro the knowledge that will enable him to make farm life profitable, we will continue to see the disafflicted black striving to the city and into document of the worst kind. The Negroes are anxious to better themselves. They are willing to meet the white people half way. They are in proving now and will continue to do so and on a higher level if they ever a helpery hotel. To give it a portion of the farm demonstration the appropriation would be held to two races. It would be held to the two races to demonstrate their race and make it better farmed and it would inspire confidence in them to win them an opportunity to show the world properly handle the government funds. Governor Vernonman spoke one truth. It was that the men who live in the South where the Negroes are most numerous are better prepared to handle the North question than those living at a distance who have no intimate knowledge of the problems involved. But the road which the Negro has to travel would be much rougher than it is now if all the Southern men entered the same view does the ratie Mississippi. His views are no means represent the fair, progressive sentiment of the South and we trust the other Senators from this section of the country will roundulate his harsh utterances and show to the country that we of the South are in favor of fair play, even for the poor Negro, who politically, at least, is down and out. NEGRO PRESENCE BIG FIGHT IN LONDON Cable advices from London, England, all of an exciting incident in one of o London's leading clubs on March 3, occupied over American women to the presence of Negroes. The cable to the New oYrk Tribune says: "A wild scene in one of London's est known night clubs was described in the Bow Street police court yesterday when Ferdinand Mariaux, director of the club in question, was fined $25 and costs for assaulting Miss Hilda Ray- nond.

The defendant told the court that the lab's waiters and others tried to get rid of some women who were throwing hisses at the faces of some Colonel An American woman was swinging a metal mesh bag. He denied as- sulting complainant in any way. The club porter, describing how the isturbances originated, said an American girl threw a bottle at a looking lass. Another did the same thing, and e interposed. In a few seconds a ozen girls were struggling with him, the sitting magistrate said he had heard enough evidence to justify his calling ie attention of the police to the disorders at this night house.

MASTERPIECES OF NEGRO ELOQUENCE The ONE VOLUME that contains the best speeches of 51 of the ablest Negroes of the United States, England, Africa and France from 1818-1913. The WONDERFUL ELOQUENCE OF THE MOST POWERFUL NEGROES—men and women—of the world is contained in this book. Nothing more interesting and inspiring has ever been written. If you would know the history of the race, appreciate the sacrifice for principle, understand the struggle for liberty and properly place the oratorical achievement of the NEGRO, you should embrace the opportunity to place this book in your library. THE MASTERPIECES OF NEGRO ELOQUENCE will take you back to 1818, when Prince Saunders in his fascinating style eloquently pleaded for the abolition of slavery. It will give you the speech of Prince Highland Garnett, the first Negro ever asked to preach in the United States House of Representatives. It contains the speech of Frederick Douglass, who in 1852, with unexcelled eloquence, demanded at Rochester to know "What to the slave is the Fourth of July?" The speech that made Booker Washington famous. An estimate of Toussaint L'Overture by James Smith that ranks with Wendell Phillips' enology to Toussaint. Charles M. Lafayette's enology to Fugitive Slave Law delivered in 1859, of which the Boston Transcript said at the time "Future generations of Negroes will be proud to say this speech was made by a Negro. Judge Rulin's tribute to a crisp Attacks, a speech that should be read by every Negro boy and girl. These are but a few of the gems from this book: a book that is a library, a reference book and an historical work indispensable in every intelligent Negro's library. It is a fascinating resume of the Negro's achievements of 100 years. A book that shows in the best manner the best Negro has done.

WARNING We have agents and others prominent in church and educational work, who have represented The New York Age, collected money and money and publish a lot of those people. If they do not pay, We have warned all such and demanded payment. RACE IMPROVEMENT NEEDED Prof. Cookin, of Princeton University, whose specialty is biology, says more babies are needed to protect the race from degeneration. That is queer. Most people now have more babies than they can properly rear and educate. "More attention must be given to the improvement of heredity," he says. He is quoted further as follows: At the present rate of reproduction the more highly educated women would be more likely to have children, and the more educated, in teaching that the higher classes pay more attention to reproduction, and the proportion of it will be the higher, the chances will be increased by the lower, the chances will be decreased of today becoming a more noticeable share of women attending the duty of the men to be held. It is plainly to be noticed on all sides and everywhere, that the small person physically, both male and female, appears more in evidence than the large person. And the average person appears to have more education than in other days but far less common sense. They appear to talk and do things more like educated machines, following the letter and word of the text book or machine shop, with little deviation from the text. Educated machines are needed; so are educated people to make and direct the machines. There is no room for argument that the feminist movement is leading women away from the home and motherhood, but that is not much loosen, as it is said the strong-minded woman, the most self-willed, produce the poorest wives and children. The average woman, who loves her home and husband produces the best and strongest average children. More babies are not needed to save the race from degeneration, but fewer and better babies. In a multitude no man can number, there may be but few people, while in a select company of twelve there may be many persons, strong physically and mentally and entirely human, with none of the heart in them. Among white people there appears to be on all hands a dwindling of the size of the body in bulk, with little corresponding shrimping of the mind, the intellect. The average white man is as a commonplace and stupid in his manners and talk as the average colored man, while the average intelligent white man talks and sets the commonplace of his trade or profession just as does the average intelligent colored man. There is nothing more stupid than a convention of allowed wise men or women conferring and wrangling over how to or how not to do commonplace things in a commonplace way. There is nothing to show that the world has not now more babies, more people, than it needs, with conditions of living growing harder all of the time, in all quarters of the earth; but there is everything to show that it needs fewer and better babies, fewer and better people, smaller and better family groups that will be able to live decently in the home and secure proper education in the schools. PLAIN TALK IN ALABAMA In adopting the "pay-as-you-center" system on the surface cars of Birmingham, the company answered white complaints, that trouble might result because all race colors entered by the same gars, ingest, "the Negroes are all standing back and allowing the white people to enter first." This statement very nat- In her team published in Tim Am of Parkway II, beaded "Regina on Geelling Together," a letter which the New York Times detailed to publish, because it contained the truth about Senator Vardanan and his sort, Miss Mappelle McAdoo, said: The color question is a troubling merit of showing with the Sensor, other than he would never made the riddleous statement that "the women of the South are living in a state of stage with subterraneanness in the way of an unrestful man." Anybody with a fair share of intelligence, the subject, the subject, and a resolution to find evidence in the South known this is a current. However, the bringing of each sort of Vardanan, if possible, is for others of the first in giving an appropriate effect to that desired by them. It is assuming the Negress to smile for those even to say, "If you are not done hardwork, and will in the end work to the benefit of the race, why as they have not done hardwork, and will in the end work to the benefit of the race." Senator Vardanan himself does not believe a fraction of what he says about colored people, but it is his purpose, as it is and has been the purpose of Southern men in the Congress since 1856, when the race question first became a burning one in American politics, to falsify the facts and confuse the National mind concerning the Negro and the problems that grow out of his citizenship; to the end that white men may profit by his labor and his voting apportionment and give him the least in cash for the one and consideration in representation in the conduct of the government and in the division of taxation for schools and public works for the other. But things have changed greatly in the past fifty years. The facts about the relations to the well-informed outside the Southern States. The efforts made by Senator Vardaman and his sort for selfish advantage are fast producing a condition of nauseaation and disgust which must ultimately redound to the benefit of the colored people. Truth is the only weapon with which to crush falsehood. And it is, on the other hand, as Miss McAdoo states, true that such misrepresentation as they are subjected to by Southern white men, "is causing the Negroes to unite for their own good," pot as a menacing factor, but as a helpful factor for their own uplift and betterment. Their settlement building, church building and support, banking and insurance growth, and slow but steady enlargement and development of business enterprises, together with home building and beautifying and increasing of farm acreage, from Norfolk to Jacksonville, to New Orleans, to Dallas, to St. Louis—all this shows that injustice and misrepresentation are doing for the Negroes of the United States what it has done for the Jews of Europe, drawing them closer together for their own good. It would have a sobering effect on the Southern Democrats in Congress if it would in a body visit Richmond and thoroughly inspect the Mechanics Savings Bank and the St. Luke's Penny Savings Bank, two as up-to-date institutions of their kind as can be found in the country. But they do not want demonstrations of this kind, that the old slave Negro is dead and that the new free Negro is getting strictly, on the job of doing for himself what he should not expect others to do for him and what his Southern white enemies insist that he cannot do for himself. "Facts are facts and nae to be disputed," said good Bobby. Let us continue to multiply our facts. "United we stand; divided we fall." TROUBLES IN THE HOME. There have been troubles in the house the serpent man and deceased her husband was a long time ago, Biblical chronology reasonable suspicion that it began long issue ever since. First, the man deceived the man, because emily was the thing has been going on, in an art is at the bottom of the trouble all of us at the top of it, and however it turns to the most in all directions, because the house, the church and the nation. There are already so many causes tax the time of the police and the cost that the introduction of a greater cancunction of the law, and at the demand a matter of the most serious concern.

That was a long time ago. Biblical chronology says 5.918 years ago, but there is a reasonable suspicion that it began long before that time, and has been a running issue ever since. First, the man deceived the woman and then the woman deceived the man, because enmity was placed between them in the beginning, and the thing has been going on, in and out, ever since. To say that the woman is at the bottom of the trouble all of the time is to say that the man is always at the top of it, and however it turns out he is held responsible for it and suffers the most in all directions, because the inheritance is his as head of the house, the house, the church and the nation. Both law and public opinion hold him to it. There are already so many causes that lead to troubles in the family, that tax the time of the police and the courts, causes small and big, big and little, that the introduction of a greater cause than any heretofore existing, with the sanction of the law, and at the demand of the weaker party to the home life, is a matter of the most serious concern. Such a cause is the woman suffrage one. It is a distinct surrender to the masculine woman in the home and the Amazonian woman who wants no home and can keep none when she gets one that the woman suffrage principle involves. Woman is physically incapable of performing the most ordinary duties of active citizenship—police service, jury service, army service, administrative service. Abbanian and Monte-Negro women fought in the Balkan war, but what Christian soldier would desire to shoot into an enemy's army composed of women and men! Or to have as his mate on the march and in the tent a woman, however pretty and agreeable. "War is hell!" exclaimed General Sherman. So it is, and no place for woman. Then, as to mental capacity, it has not been generally acknowledged that woman possesses it in equal measure as man. The average woman like the average man is rather stupid and silly; while the exceptional woman is seldom the equal of the exceptional man. This is the accepted opinion in Christian countries; while in Asia and Africa and among the Indian races of the American continent women are not rated as having any brains or as being capable of any thinking. Perhaps that is why their men have fallen so low, because any principle that degrades womanhood degrades childhood and manhood. These thoughts are drawn out by the primary election in Chicago Tuesday of last week, in which 47,000 women voted and some were candidates as well for public office. What was said and done was not pleasant reading, not that there was really anything scandalous, but because it marked the legal unsexing of woman in Chicago and Illinois, as it had before in several other States, and which is bound to make more confusion than existed before in the home and the politics of the country. And woman suffrage, the equality of the woman with the man, in the home, in the church and in the nation is no where authorized or sanctioned in the laws of Moses or the teachings of John, Jesus and Paul. Far otherwise. It has taken 1914 years to establish the Christian home, but it will not take a very large fraction of those years to destroy it. If the whims and follies of women are allowed to dictate the fashions in clothes, in social recreations—that have already degenerated into dissipations of a distinctively intemperate and immoral character—and in the making and enforcement of the laws of the land. The masculine, the Amazonian woman, naturally tends to usurp authority and to destroy it after having been allowed to usurp it. That is the history of mankind before the Christian era. Christianity will fail if it does not keep the woman in her proper sphere as the helpmeet of man in the home; as the wife devoted to her husband, as the mother who has no higher mission on earth than to rear and educate her children to be worthy of the Christian faith which has redeemed womanhood from the demoralizations of the Harem and given her a home, with one husband. Why should not the black man, who is paying the same fare as the white man, enter when he can and take a seat, as all street car passengers do? Black men are naturally poised. Most any of them would stand aside and let a lady of either race enter first. Black cannot be said of all while men. Most white men act in public on the occasion that the Negro group has no rights that they are bound to respect. They adopt that principle on the street cars, in the elevators, and even some of them carry it out in the offices and business places of Negroes. But the greater unfairness is wrought, not to the rough element of Negroes that some seem to fear most. The average black man thinks as much of this life as that all will agree that is his right and privilege. The average black man is not going to stand back with his wife, or his sweetheart and wait submissively for any number of white men to get on the car first, appropriate to themselves all the seats, and even more the paraglions back that the waiting Negroes on the outside will have to stand up all their distance. The white people the smaller will not feel that this is right and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company has no right to expect it. That is plain talk in Alabama and you hear the same sort of talk in Virginia where, when colored and white occupy the same car the rule is "whites front; colored back," and the expectation is that the colored people shall wait patiently until the white ones enter and go front. If there are enough white persons do occupy all of the seats the colored people have to stand up or wait for another car. In the Norfolk, Hampton and Newport News district intelli- home ever since Eve got tangled up with band Adam in the Garden of Eden. This biology says 5,918 years ago, but there is it before that time, and has been a running divider the woman and then the woman does relace between them in the beginning, and out, ever since. To say that the woman the time is to say that the man is always out he is held responsible for it and suffers the inheritance is his as head of the house. Both law and public opinion hold him to that lead to troubles in the family, that hurts, causes small and great, big and little, than any heretofore existing, with the aid of the weaker party to the home life. Such a cause is the woman suffrage on culineus in the home and the Amal and can keep none when she gets one the woman is physically incapable of pervasive citizenship-police service, jury service. Albanian and Monte-Negro woman soldier would desire to shoot in men and men! Or to have as his mate of it is, and no place for woman. It has not been generally acknowledged that as man. The average woman like the jury, while the exceptional woman is soldier. This is the accepted opinion in Christian and among the Indian races of the Americas having any brains or as being capable their men have fallen so low, because angrades childhood and manhood. The primary election in Chicago Tuesday noted and some were as well for was not pleasant reading, not that there because it marked the legal unsexing of had before in several other States, and then than existed before in the home and of the woman with the man, in the home to where authorized or sanctioned in the Jesus and Paul. Far otherwise. It hasristian home, but it will not take a very it, if the whims and follies of women clothes, in social recreations—that have a distinctively intemperate and immoral treatment of the laws of the land. woman, naturally tends to usurp authorityowed to usurp it. That is the history of Christianity will fail if it does not keep the mopee of man in the home; as the wife who has no higher mission on earth than worthy of the Christian faith which has realizations of the Harem and given her a gent colored people are beginning to show open content and disgust at the workings of the system and the mandatory insistence of the trainmen, who act toward and speak to colored patrons as if they were not people at all. It is not a safe condition of affairs to allow to grow, as colored people of intelligence have as much sensitiveness as white people and think as much of their women folk, as the Reporter says. But there seems to be no disposition among the white newspapers or the white people to correct the growing condition. Their attitude is, plainly, that "anything is good enough for colored people." That thing only is good enough for them, as for others, that represents in actual values the money they pay for it. The separate car system is an outrage that will never grow to be any less so. The graded fare system, such as used to be in force in North Carolina, is the only just and honest system. By it the travellers regulated their own separation, by purchasing the class of ticket they desired. the better sort of both races buying first and the ronger sort second and even third class tickets. The effort to class all white folks as the salt of the earth and all colored people as the silt is having some queer developments; the commonest white man is fast making an effort to accomplish in being fair, and to the best white man, with the result that they are both being dug down to the same level of courage and valgence in their manner, especially in public, while deceit colored people are so scandalous drawing away from their course and vulgates members. "The average black man thinks as much of his wife as the average white man do of his," says the Birmingham Reporter, but it will take a lot of years and education and rough experience to make the average white concede and regress the fact. THE PERSECUTION OF SAM MOORE The following letter from the pen of Julian Hawthorne, son of the great novelist, Nathaniel Hawthorne, appeared in the New York Sun of February 22. It is a terrible indictment of conditions in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta. We would urge President Wilson and the Department of Justice to look into this case on its merits. The fact that Sam Moore is a black man should have nothing whatever to do with preventing a thorough investigation as to the terrible treatment he has received in Atlanta. We very much hope that the Attorney General of the United States, despite his Tennessee traditions, and anti-Negro proclivities, will not fail to see that this poor black man receives all that is coming to him. No such newspaper as The New York Sun would publish a story as this without feeling that a great injustice was being done a man who has already suffered greatly. The article as it appeared in The Sun, headlines and all, follows: SAME MOORE IN BLACK HOLE. Julian Hawthorne Tells of Prisoners in Atlanta Penitentiary. To the Editor of the Sun: -Sir: A news item in The Sun this morning quotes Robert Cameron, just released from Atlanta Penitentiary, as saying, among other things, that Sam Moore, a fifer in the black hole awaiting torture to be released, having been adjudged insane by the prison officials. I have mentioned Moore several times in my articles, but never by name because I feared to get him into trouble at the prison. I knew no man in the prison more intimately than I did him, and respected none more. He is warm hearted, impulsive, generous and has a brain which had he been educated would have placed him in the front of his race—he is a light mulatto. His force of character is exceptional; he overflows with original and trenchant thought; he is fearless and through all his terrible experiences in the prison has kept his spirit and self-respect unbroken. With every indissement held out to him to gain favor and latency by betraying his coeridises he has steadily and contemptuously refused to do so and has contributed to with other things to him. The officials his never-to-do with Sam Moore, who knows much more than it is expedient for a prisoner to know and who declines to make himself useful by co-operating with the authorities, has long been a riddle in the latter; but Sam himself has told the other plan to plan to go to the other planning to have him declared insane and were indeed doing all in their power to make the charge justifiable. The treatment of prisoners in insane asylums or in some of them is even more brutal, if that be possible, than jail; and I have little doubt that if Sam is sent to one his death from "natural causes" will not be long delayed. Consider the case of this man. When a mere boy, 22 years ago, he was confiscated for disoberty conduct—a brawl in the street. He was full of the rigor of life, a curate of life, a person of boy, lish escapades, but never dishonest or vicious. During his confinement in Washington city he incurred the enmity of another inmate who announced his intention of "getting" him; this was told to Sam and a day or two later did not exercise hours he saw the man coming toward him in the threatening posture with a knife in his hand. Sam had already apprised the guard that he had reason to fear this man, Sam now, seeing his scouted car, sat on a shovel lying at hand and as the man made a rush at him brought the implement down on his head; the man came up, the back of his protection and was dead when picked up. Sam, without influence or friend, was rushed to judgment and was seance to die. The sentence was commenced by the book of his life imprisonment. He was finally sent to Atlanta. Life imprisonment for strolling one billion miles of defence: His many misdeeds in prison—nothing worse than that—made him the object of abuse and attack by the officials; at one time he was shot by the hospital room, where he told me, as he lay on the floor, the warden entered with a revolver in each hand and curried and menaced him. He recovered, I have seen them. There is no form of prison "discipline" which Sam has not undergone; of his twenty-two years in jail, eight of them have been sent to the inole. He has a remarkable talent for ornamental work in wood—inlaid boxes and the like—and found mental relief in cultivating it. While he was a guard in the guards, his work and tools were removed, some of the things he had made broken and he was forbidden to do any more work of the kind. He was a guard in the Saturday outings, forbidden to witness the baseball games, put in the hole for the slightest pretest, and in every manner hounded to a degree, that would have made him a man of the highest undoubtedly had for its object either his suicide or the establishment of some grounds for committing him to an asylum. He recognised this and immediately began to hit his nose with the torture have shaken his nervous system and undermined his health and strength, without however, in the least despairing writing, that he was the best teacher he has more than a match for the ward he is more than a official in the prison. During my stay an inspector was sent to question the prisoners and question prisoners as to abuse. I TURKING DEPARTMENT SUMMER SCIENCE FOR TEACHERS For the annual SUMMER JUNE 12 to 20 - Over 600 Teachers present last Summer. The Meaning of Emancipation. To the Editor of The Age: Many readers of The Age, lay and ministerial, colored and white, have written me asking for a fuller exposition of the tents and principles of the doctrine of Emanculeam, notes concerning which have been appearing from weak to weak in the notes from Emanculeam Church. In response to these requests I submit herewith the following elaboration of our doctrine. Operative Emanuellam is the reansorption of the Jewish prophetic principle of a living, righteous Universal Ruig and Personal God. It claims to the Lord of Life. To the charges in writing. This Sam did, though he told me he knew it would be unvailing; is fact, he was never so important to the people who had been really unhelping and after the inspector had been recalled he gave the mainly 'document and very comprehensive. I wished to take it with me from the prison, but was prevented from doing so. The leading principle of priveous management that he informs me to get out and none to get in. Some information has got out, however, and there is more coming. I am sure that there will be more, and there who had been released that the rule against cigarette papers has been abolished since I left, and that one day the police would be men at dinner. This is the first time in the jail's history that even a single fowl has appeared in the jail dining room, and the farm was the exclusive property of the prisoners, having been donated to them from outside benefactors. WILLIAM WYLTHORNE. New York, February 28. THE NEGRO FARMER. We have now received three copies of the Negro Former, published at the Tuskegee Institute and edited by Mr. Isaac Fisher. It is a well edited publication and calculated to help any man who cultivates the soil or who is interested in the cultivation of the soil. There are about 2,000,000 black farmers in this country, and a large proportion of them ought to be readers of the Negro Former. It will pay all of them to subscribe for it and reap the benefit growing out of the many interesting articles that this publication contains. Great is American baseball. King Gorman and the Irishman the Chicago White Box defeat the New York Giants by a score of 5 to 4, Thursday of last week, in London. The United States has taught the African people many things, including race prejudice, that they did not know before. "The Arkansas Negro Suffrage League" is a very new thing, a state organization being being held the court held that they could not recognize the signatures of Negroes on petitions allowing whisky to be sold in the community, but only the signatures of community members count before we does not state which side of the whisky question the league is on. Local option is good. The United Colored Charities of Norfolk has been incorporated, with the purpose of providing the Organization is composed of women, heretofore known as the Hamper Basket Society. There should be a colored center of population. Our "poor we have with us always," and we should organise to protect them and our interests as other race groups do. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY PROF. SPINGARN CRITICISED. To the Editor of The Age: The editorial in last weeks Age touching on the criticism of Prof. Joel Spingarn directed against the teachings and leadership of Booker T. Washington, was timely and in order. In the first place, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which Prof. Spingarn represents as lecturer, is not strictly a Negro organization, for the chief features and management are under the supervision of the white members and officials. While it is true some of the officers of limited importance are filled with Negro features, it is allowed to participate in minor deliberations order to prevent the statement from being circulated that the society has been founded on race prejudice. Another objection of the promoters seems to all hazards. A certain class of "prominent" Negroes have affiliated themselves with this organization but it has been of interest to the press that the masses has not been of a very tangible nature. In other words, they can be claused in the category with the well-known attorney, Butler R. Wilson, Born in Boston, who has scribed in a recent issue of The Agr. The promoters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have evidently realized that the deocrates have not as yet caught the "joining fever" and that the only way to secure the timid into joining is to savagely attack the deocrates of Dr. Booker T. Wingate. The attack by Prof. Spinberg is evidently in accord with a line of action the promoters have planned to follow in order to ultimately do away with the end of the organizations membership. It is, therefore, only a question of time when the elimination of the Negro population is already the retirement of Bishop Alexander A. Walters, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, Dr. N. B. Mosai, Philadelphia, and the Rev. C. H. Mosai, Philadelphia, and that the organization's methods in its vital parts, are not to be studied intelligently by loyal Negro men and women, and are now giving their time, money and lives for the uplift of the race. If Prof. Spingar and others are in earnest concerning the welfare and upkeep of the advancement society, its members, and the race greater good by focusing their verbal attacks on the man that is at present doing everything possible to progress. Firing shots at Dr. Washington at this late day are merely shots, thrown away, for the work allaying monuments that neither Prof. Spingar nor any other heavier light can tear down. Dr. Washington's work shall be for they are realized facts. Prof. Spingar's work of the race problem, even from a white man's point of view are only theories. BUGENE A. WATSON. Providence B. L. Many readers of The Age, lay and ministerial, colored and white, have written me asking for a fuller exposition of the senats and principles of the doctrine of Emanuelism, notes concerning which have been appearing from week to week in the notes from Emanuel Church. In response to these requests I submit herewith the following elaboration of our doctrine. Operative Emanuelism is the reaseparation of the Jewish prophetic principle of a living, righteous Universal Rulger and Personal God. It claims that Jesus, the Christ, the Lord of Life, is that principle at its highest point in human history. We symphonizing believers are endeavoring as we grow into the unlimited truth of being to exemplify the reality of life as taught, lived, mastered and glorified by Him. Opportunity is the help of the greatest business in the world. It is in the world but not of it. It is the loving Father, God, in his human faith-children, saving, refreshing and serving humanity. Folly, fraud, conspiracy, race antagonism, mercenary speculation, immorality and brute nature. Theology is theology. Theology is the Lord in Jesus, the Christ and King, is the strength of an Emanuelist. Time serving and decaying human time. Social reconstruction, political policy, party politics, civic order, social reconstruction and world arbitration. Courage, courage, courage, courage, aiding to a community or a nation only in proportion to the truth in the minds of the groups mentioned. The tendency of Operating Emanuel is to set forth in clearest speech and illustrate daily living that they worship Father, God, that they, according to their ability and growth in purity and truth, are yielding themselves by the Lord. They worship God as taught and was demonstrated in the human historical life of the only begotten Son of God, who they believe is the God of creation, the way of all children of the flesh on the mother's side; he His Father, the Holy Spirit, made His conception and birth of his son, the nomenon in human history. This God Incarnate was clothed that perfectly in man that from His early childhood to his mature age, he was the mention of His life that would indicate His Lordship. We believe that for three years after this He manifested Himself, and at the close of those three years, he was sent to the ghost, terminated human animation, was buried; after three days was changed to an Immortal Person by the power of the Holy Spirit, and according to His promise He arose above and beyond human limitations and in due time ascended, in human form, to the station on the right hand side of the Throne of God. We believe that He hath redeemed us from sin; we reacquainted with the Lord of our source and given of Eternal Life; the bestower of the Holy Spirit; the true and righteous Ruler of humanity; the Monarch, who in thefulness of time for that purpose will come to judge the quick and the dead. We believe that wicked will be punished and miserable the righteous rewarded and happy. Our adoration to Him is this conception that he is one Lord in the unity. We believe that this King clothed in beauty, is our first real Brother. The force of His love going into our energy between and within our wills which makes us conscious of the fact that in Him we live, move and have and He has promised to them. He will, and He has promised to us the glories of His eternal, active and reefful life. We are calling upon the spirit to look above and beyond the humanities and attitudes. We would have them to become conscious of the fact that by willing they become spiritual children in Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. We would have them to commit their souls, minds and bodies into the keepers of the Holy Spirit, to exercise themselves the Holy Spirit, to fire the soul, to move according to the tendency of their thoughts, and speak as the Spirit gives them utterly joy for we believe that it is by and through the Spirit our relationship and effort that peace on earth and good will to men is to be consummated. An ecclesiastical nation, a world with an ethical system, a political propaganda system, and a political system may reform men, but it takes Overate Emanuelian, or the loving Jesus Christ's life exemplified by believers in Him to transform humanity into a peaceful community. The Emanuel is the wielder of this spiritual fellowship. He gives the thought, supplies the energy and sustains the life through the unity of good love. Love is a reality in human society. This is the substance that we are endeavoring to preach, teach and practice. Would be pleased to have your prayers answered. RICHARD M. BOLDEN. Faster Emanuelian Church. New York, N. Y. To the Editor of The Age: I am inclined to believe that the segregation mania so strongly articulated by the Southern white people will eventually drift into the mercantile channels—and I unhesitatingly say, "God speed the day." For when Negroes are told in unmistakable words that he is not wanted to stand up and buy goods and the same counter and white people, then, and not until then, need ambitious Negro merchants hope to succeed in the mercantile sphere. For when Negroes are educated and uneducated Negroes deliberately past a Negro drygoods store, grocery store, hat store and enter a white mana store for the purpurea business, same goods that his Negro brother has oftentimes the would-be purchaser is forced to stand and wait until all the white customers are served. Negroes are put on to the trend of events coming rapidly in the South. We need more Negro merchantia, more Negro banks and the like. We need to emulate the Jews in the mercantile sphere and teach our teachers pound this fact into our students ourselves on how we can wonderful progress along many lines, but we my little or nothing about our schools and college mercantile sphere. Our schools and college mercantile sphere. Our young men and women by the threes sands each year, who find no avenues for employment, save as hotel-waiters porters and social jobs. Raleigh, with two thousand, and nearly as many in the country who come to town every Saturday to trade, has but one drygoods store, employing two cleaners, two cooks, and two employees, employing and they are idle more than half of the time waiting for trade from nearly 20,000 Negroes who pass and repaint their doors to take us to day. We Negras get to wake us and see ourselves as others see us. Our preachers must take the lead and give some of the time consumed by them, and give lines of race pride and other things that would tend to our general uplift. Our school teachers can and must improve upon the mindset of the children, and before the day had whispered, I speak, for not long ago I engaged a few Negro boys to sell Negro papers, and before the day had whispered, I spoke, for not long ago papers, saying, "We cannot sell them." To the question "Why?" the answer came almost in one voice: "The colored people have been selling Negro papers because there is nothing in them worth reading." Stories of white school boys can be seen every Saturday, going from house to house to school, and the papers edited and published by men who would not grant a Negro one inch of space in those papers to correct a wrong through misrepresentation in public print. On the other hand, the Negro journal is always willing and ready to put his side before the public. We want to teach Negro students in every town selling Negro newspapers and they should be encouraged to do so by our preschools and teachers. Negroes will buy Negro papers when their attention is properly called to its importance. In this city I started with twenty-five copies of Negro papers every week, and more than two hundred copies every Saturday. F. L. MOOY. Sometime ago there appeared in The Christian Republic the following statement: "We must care for the whites and blacks. What the Negro people need is not a colored bishop. The Negro people require a bishop's care, and the Negro people need an annual visit of a bishop up North, the session of a conference, and hurry on to another section does not furnish the Negro people. Do not need the Negroes in our church as much as the Negroes need to be in our church. If the Negroes choose to be in our church, one great Methodist church, that is their privilege." This editorial concedes the unequal membership. It claims that colored bishops are not a necessity in securing an equal supervision over all the Negroes, and so much needed in the church, and then owing to their grievance about this unequal supervision by the Negroes they are invited out of the church. I conceive this unequal supervision by the bishop in spite of each member's desire to be treated with their support. Alle unequal supervision once existed among the presiding elders and pastors, but was remaining unchanged of its colored members without lowering the dignity of these offices, and even if the extension did, which is the greater of the ongoing or of the lowering of the dignity? If organization knows that some of its members are not getting equal treatment, its bishop is not giving an unequal treatment rather than invite them to the bishop can now be made out of a white one any more than in the past a black presiding elder and pastor whose bishop is not white presiding elders and white pastors. Black bishop are the only solution of this unequal supervision of members with the practical life of the church in her growth. The church can succeed only by adjusting herself to her memorial in the church whose in line means 'place' with everything was made for man, and not man for everything else. Please give us blue bishop. SLYVESTER H. NORWOOD. Baltimore, Md. South Carolinas New Schoel Law. To the Editor of the Age: Please allow me to express my opinion on the following which appeared in your issue of February 4, quoting from the Columbia (S. C.) State, in regard to the assured means passed by the South Carolina legislature. The article reads thus: "The bill to prohibit white persons teaching in Nebraska to drive the Nugrogs of South Carolina back into the original savagery whose they came. The southern Negroes know nothing of civilization that they have not learned from the white people. The people of the Anglo-Saxon, the people of the Anglo-Saxon, or Caucasian since know nothing of the civilization which they have taught the Negro, exceptin what they have learned their civilization from the Romans. I would like to know, however, how the passage of this act can materially increase $1,200,000. Negro school teachers our races should have a force sufficient to meet the demands f the schools of the Negro community, wealth where a similar law might be passed. I consider the article in the Columbia State State an inault to the capable men and wofen in all trades and professors, who in their chosen vocation are the equal of any member of the Negro. Despite the spirit in which this négrophobe Bloates and his allies passed should wofen the Negro of South Carolina open the door of opportunity to more of the teachers of our race. We have not the privileges of teaching the Negro in South, therefore I heartily recommend that no white teachera, some of whom was appended to the Negro studenta, other In conclusion I would recommend the legislation of South Carolina to pass the following segregation acts: No prison keepers for Negro arrest; Negro law violators; and no white judge to try a Negro law violator. When this has been done Bless will have accomplished his illly-white aim (probably). CHAS. BARRY. Yardley, Penn. $40,000 BANK BUILDING TO BE BUILT IN SAVANNAH TO BE 3 STORIES HIGH Wage Earners' Loan and Investment Co. a Large Negro Banking Institution, to Have New Home. SAVANNAN, Ga., March 3.—Work has been begun on the $40,000 bank building to be erected by the Wage Earners' Loan and Investment Company, the oldest Negro banking institution in the State of Georgia. The new building will be built at the northeast corner of Alice and West Broad streets; one block south of the Union Depot. The Pharrow Construction Company of Atlanta, a Negro firm, which put up the $100,000 Odd Fellows' building in Atlanta, has promised to have the building ready for occupancy some time during the summer. In telling of the plans of the owners the Savannah Tribune says: "The building will be constructed of buff brick and will be three stories high on a basement. The bank will occupy the major portion of the first floor and its quarters will be luxuriously equipped. The front of the first story will be of white Georgia marble. "Aside from the bank, there will also be one store on the ground floor. The second and third stories will contain about thirty-two office rooms. In the basement, which will extend several feet above the street, thereby allowing ample light and ventilation, will be a beautifully fitted-up barber shop, a steam heating plant and several storage rooms. Entrance to the two upper floors of the basement will be provided." "The Ware Earned Loan and Investment Company is the second largest Negro banking institution in the country."

The sky, coarse hair soft and pliable "DIPPY" OVER THE MOVIES most recently to the invasion of the movies were the Criterion Theatre, renamed the Vitagraph Theatre, at Broadway and Forty-fourth street, and the New York Theatre, next door. Never were the names of famous stars advertised in the lights as brilliantly as the names of the pictures being shown at these two houses. At the Vitagraph Theatre, which came into being about a month ago, three feature reels are being shown and the management could be suspected of being over friendly with the light trust, no dazzling has been the electrical display in the front of the theatre. But this week, when the New York Theatre made its debut as a motion picture house, presenting Dumas' "The Three Musketeers," the electrical display in front of the New York bedimmed the huster of the Vitagraph Theatre's electrical exhibition. At no time in the history of New York theatricals has an actor been featured in the lights as Dumas' "The Three Musketeers." The Republic Theatre, in Forty-second street, near Broadway, was one of New York's favorite theatres for dramatic entertainment up to several weeks ago, when David Belasco, the leasee, decided to sublet the house to a firm for the presentation of motion pictures. To this plan Oscar Hammerstein, the owner, vigorously demurred and sought to enjoin Mr. Belasco in the courts from carrying it out. The courts decided against Mr. Hammerstein, pointing out that other first-class theatres were being used for motion picture purposes and there had been no decrease in the value of properties. So the theatre where Francis Starr and "The Girl of the Golden West" once captivated hundreds is now being devoted to motion pictures. Then there is the Park Theatre at Columbus Circle, formerly the Majestic, which, too, has succumbed to the hynotixing influences of the movies. It was at this theatre that the hearts of Williams and Walker. Montgomery and Stone, Clifton Crawford, etc., were made glad by the friendly greetings of New York theatregoers. Only a few months ago the Park found it advisable to follow in the wake of other Broadway booze. And so the conquest of the movies goes merrily on. Additional surrenders are likely to be chronicled at any moment. It would not be surprising to hear that the Empire Theatre, the home of Maude Adams, John Drew and Ethel Barrymore, or that the Casino, whose reputation as the sheltering place of pretentious musical offerings is worldwide, had fallen a victim to the winsome and affuring wiles of the movies. The movies have gained a foothold on Broadway, and there is no telling when and where these encroachments will end. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE MY FRIEND FROM KENTUCKY CO.—American Theatre, St. Louis.

YORKERS HAVE GONE NEW YORK has gone wild over the latest dances, and the mushroom growth of numerous local dance halls, bearing such imported appellations as Jardin de Dance, Folies Marigay, Palais de Dance and Persian Garden, bear out the truthfulness of this assertion. But if "wild" is the term used to depict the state of mind of the natives over dancing, then it will be necessary to employ a term portraying a more turbulent and riotous mentality, when telling of the New Yorther's fondness for the movies. Probably the slang expression "dippy" would fill the bill. The burden of Licences has been good enough to furnish me with the information that there are from 950 to 1,000 licensed motion picture theatres in Greater New York, and it must be taken in consideration that new houses devoted to motion pictures are opening in the various sections of Greater New York daily. If in New York they continue to manifest such unusual interest in the movies, and others catch the fever, which seems contagious, there is every reason to believe that the number of motion picture theatres will have passed the one thousandth mark by the time our ambitious poets find it opportunity to write about the glorious nights in June. And as to the probable number of motion picture theatres to dot the local amusement map in the distant future, this calls for contemplation wherein the imagination must be very elastic indeed. The greatly changed attitude of theatrical promoters toward the movies within the last twelve months has been interesting. Three or four years ago—in fact, not that far back—representative theatrical managers, those who produced first-class attractions, turned up their moes at the motion picture industry and motion picture theatres, and this turning up of moes was more in a literal sense than figurative. But recently their olfactory organs quickly assumed a different angle, and for a number of months these moes managers have been as busy as been organizing motion picture manufacturing concerns and opening the theatres to put on exhibition their wares. The largest corporations being formed today in the amusement world deal with the movies, and it is not unusual to send of a corporation organized to manufacture film capitalized in six figures. At first the popular-priced theatres in New York and elsewhere where dramatic and musical offerings were produced were the objects of attack by the invasion of the movies. Three seasons ago the Stair and Havlin route resembled a depopulated village after a serious flood or conflagration. Many of the best houses on the route were turned over to the movies, and instead of being able to offer a road show thirty-odd consecutive weeks as heretofore a route of little more than ten weeks was all Stair and Havlin could give. This condition made it necessary for the retirement of many melodramatic and musical shows. --- But now the movies have struck Broadway—Broadway. New York, as well as the Broadways of other large cities. And the force of the shock sustained by the advent of the movies is being felt all along the Rialto. But the most annoying part is to see the big managers in their scramble to get on the hand wagon. Broadway theatres, where great actors of the past and present won name and fame in serious dramatic presentations; Broadway theatres, known far and wide for stupendous musical shows—conclusions of melody, mirth, beauty and gorgeous costumes—have capitulated to the onslaught of the movies. At Weber's Music Hall, Broadway and Twenty-ninth street, where Weber and Fields, Lillian Russell, David Warfield, Willie Collier and a score of other theatrical celebrities made merry some years ago, motion pictures reign supreme. "The Gangster" is the title of the film being shown. Near by is the Bison Theatre and further up is the Garrick, Theatre, both of which enjoyed reputations in former days as leading Broadway theatres. Motion pictures are now in complete control. The Savoy Theatre, situated in Thirty-fourth street, near Broadway, where Wilton Lackaye and others gave impressive evidences of their dramatic ability, has been a motion picture house for some time. It was one of the first, if not the first, Broadway houses to change its policy. The Herald Square Theatre at Broadway and Thirty-fifth street, recent scenes of conquest in musical comedy by Eddie Buy, Lew Fields and many others, is now a confirmed motion picture house and there are no indications that musical productions are apt to get another foothold, at the Herald Square again now. The same condition exists at the Broadway Theatre, Broadway, and Forth street, where once the Rogers Brothers handed out many a laugh and Marie Cabill, Blanche Ring and hosts of musical stars won unstinted applause and it certainly seems queer to think of the Broadway Theatre as anything but the home of musical comedy.

A stock company, composed of Billy Ward, Joe Bright, William Ray, Katis and Ella Jones, presented "The Widow's Ranch." As the Crescent patrons are fond of gun plays, the sketch was well received. HOWARD UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, D.C. (Blue and White) Manhattan Casino 155 St. and 8th Ave. N.Y. City Friday Evening G. Mar 2019, 19 4 Work by Doctor of N. A. M. A. SPECIAL NOTE: For nearly ten years Apt. & Smart St., St. Christopher and the Ours, the four representative teams in greater New York and Jersey, have been bringing Howard's team to New York, and then traveling to Washington, D.C. in an effort to defeat this great college but without success. Season seasonason has this mighty University team trumped on the colors of those four big clubs. This season, however, at St. Christopher's famous "Red and Black Machine" expects to appeal presidents and accomplishments that no New York club has ever done in the history of the game. An out a incentive to win this game will be the treasure silver trophy dressed by William H. Penn, United States Central at Valet Edwards, France. The Ben Chase W. Anderson United States Collector of Internal Revenue, will make the presentation of this valuable prize to the winning team. ADMISSI ON 50 CENTS BOXES $3.00 WILL ANTHONY ADMOFN, Manager JAMES N.

LAFAYETTE THEATRE Johnson & Fluegelman have assumed the managerial reins of the Lafayette Theatre and are trying their hand at pleasing the theatregoers residing in the Hamilton section Monday, March 2 marked the date of their official debut and a number of floral offerings, the gifts of well wishers, were seen in the lobby. According to Johnson & Fluegelman, the impression exists in Harlem that they intend to draw the color line as did the former managers upon opening the house in November, 1912. That such a policy is to be inaugurated they emphatically deny. Thomas Johnson is a colored man, and I. Fluegelman has allowed colored theatregoers the privilege of sitting in any section of all his theatres. In justice to them this erroneous charge should be refuted by all lovers of fair play. The new management seems to be laboring under the impression that a bill made up of all colored acts is preferred by the Lafayette patrons. But such is not the case. Good acts, colored and white are desired. Of course it is natural for the people of the district to evince a preference for good colored acts, but too much of anything is as harsh as not enough. Variety, they say, is the spice of life. So give us colored and white acts of quality. And as a tip to Johnson & Fluegelman, the patrons of the Lafayette enjoy a dramatic sketch now and then—farce comedy preferred. Margaret Scott opened the bill the first half of the week, and she received a cordial greeting at each performance. Miss Scott's voice has lost none of its vigor and flexibility, and her tones are as bell-like as of yore. George Lauder ventriloquist, worked well with his dummies and Arthur Simmons sang several songs and gave a recitation. The Three Nashville Students have a neat, clean dancing and singing act, which is appropriately costumed. The two young men are some dancers. Kelly & Davis, old favorites in Harlem, returned after many months' absence, and their comedy gets them just as many laughs and the dancing as much applause as in "Last Ray Thompson and Horses were highly appreciated. This act is of big time caliber. A HIT WITH WHITE SHOW Thomas A. Brooks, the well known singer and dancing comedian who has toured the United States and Canada with Joe Hurtwick Girls from Ungerland Company, headed by Pete W. Watson, has been with the company for several seasons playing his original role of a mischievous nanny. During the rendition of a song by Elmore Delaworth, Mr. Brooks has the chance to render his original and much talked of eccentric dance which is one of the hits of the show. The company will be at the Columbia Theatre New York City the week of April 12. Whitehall in St. Paul, Mr. Brooks signed for next season. COMING EVENTS Many interesting athletic events are scheduled to be pulled off in New York during the month of March, and there will be basketball games galore.

After the game a collation was given in honor of the St. Christopher team. The miniature basketball to be given to each boxholder on Friday evening, March 20 at the Howard-St. Christopher game, are without a doubt the most novel and appropriate souvenir that could possibly be given away. After the boxholders are supplied the balance will be distributed among the ladies. Come early so as to be sure of securing one, because owing to the expense of having them made there will be a limited number.

Memorial Services For Monroe Heroes Notwithstanding the terrific snow storm and blizzard which swept over New York last Sunday, the National Marine Association, Incorporated, of New York City, carried out its program of the memorial services in memory of the six members of the association who lost their lives in the sinking of the steamship Monroe of New Old Dominion Island on Virginia on January 30. The service was held at Noether A. M. E. Zion Church, West 89th street, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor. The men whose memory was thus honored, 'all of whom sacrificed their lives in saving women and children from death, were as follows: PETER DAVIS. JAMES DELK. WILLIAM H. GARNER. JAMES P. MARTIN. OSCAR TREADWELL. JOSEPH BURNSDALL. An elaborate program was arranged for the service-by James E. Lindsey, Henry H. Smith, William Johnson, David E. Grange, Louis S. Jones, Geo. Clark and Phil Fredericks. Chairman Lindsey presided and introduced the speakers. The memorial sermon was preached by the Rev. J. W. Brown. Henry H. Smith, financial secretary of the association, read a statement of the aims and purposes of the association. The officers and employees of the Old Dominion Steamship Company and the officers and members of the St. Mark's and Hamilton lodges, G. U. O. O. F. were invited guests at the service. Hamilton Lodge being represented on the program. A memorial service was conducted at the same time in the Queen Street Baptist Church, Norfolk, Va. In his statement concerning the association Mr. Smith said that the purpose of the association is to unite the colored men employed on coastwise and river steamers, enabling them to guard against discrimination, to improve the status of the men generally, to furnish a central place for the entertainment and commemoration of seafaring members and to spur employment. The association has 300 members and maintains headquarters at 105 North Moore street, at an expense of $3,500 a year. Speaking of the men's conduct when the Monroe was wrecked he said: "The steamship employee comes in closer contact with the traveling public than those in any other business and their opportunities are greater for either gaining a friend or creating an ennemy for the company." Often the public forms its opinion of the company from the employee's personality. Peter Davis and the other coloured members of the crew of the Monroe were not unmindful of this fact even under the most trivial circumstances. In the face of death and looking into his grave he was true to his calling. When a woman's strength was shipping away from her he gave her his life preserver. The cohorted men on the Monroe by their course of conduct created an opinion favorable to the race and in a way that nothing but credit could result to the steamship company." • EWS OF THE CHURCHES St. James' Presbyterian Church.
