VOL. XXVII No. 25. RACES IN HARLEM WILL COOPERATE Colored and White Property Owners to Map Out Feasible Plan of Action Meyer Jarmulowsky, as Representative of White Property Owners, Asks Negroes to Join in Movement to Improve Conditions. PROPERTY HAS DEPRECIATED Claim Mode That Harlem Property Has Decreased in Value over $100,000,000 Within Recent Years. Monday evening at the office of Nail & Parker, 145 West 135th street, a number of colored citizens met in conference with Meyer Jarmulowsky, an East Side banker, and the practicability of the colored and white citizens interested in Harlem property co-operating to bring about more helpful conditions to all concerned was discussed at length. Mr. Jarmulowsky attended the conference as the representative of the Property Owners' Improvement Corporation, composed of white citizens owning real estate in the Harlem district. He extended an invitation to the colored property owners of Harlem to join with the white owners in a movement to protect each other's interests against the depreciation of property, which also includes a plan to provide better housing conditions for Negroes. Mr. Jarmulowsky urged a committee of mindful men to be appointed to take up the important questions at issue with the Committee of Thirty, representing the Property Owners' Improvement Corporation. By John B. Nail, stated that he would not attempt to say why property had depreciated in value in certain sections of Harlem, and was emphatic in his declaration that the Property Owners' Improvement Corporation had been formed to protect owners from great financial loss and was not actuated by race prejudice. Colored Property Owners Also Affected The speaker explained that the organization of a corporation for the mutual benefit of the property owners, mortgages, tenants and business interests was necessary for the following reasons: 1st. Property in the Harlem section has depreciated in value to an amount over $100,000,000, notwithstanding the fact that basic conditions are as good, if not better, than they ever were. 2nd. The assessed value of property in the section for the year 1913 was $260,000,000. The estimated value of this property is about $400,000,000, thereby causing the query to be made—If it is good business, it should be at $400,000,000 at the disposal of the Negro population which is neither of sufficient number or financial strength to absorb even one cent, and is not able to maintain a market value, and which cannot be paid in the entire district? 3rd. There are about 35,000 Negrs at the present time and more expectantly most of whom are unable to pay rentes necessary to maintain values. 4th. Property is not marketable, and is constantly difficult to obtain. 5th. The business in Harlem is not directed at the disposal of the The North population is spread outward very fast. The county lacks a further property and more land than they are in the following streets south of 125th street, namely 112th, 115th, 117th, 119th, 121st and 122nd, and most of the streets above street. This property includes a plan to three at the disposal of Nevers buildings arranged for their special use, so that they may not pay the rents and will not be necessary to overspread the district. The Property Owners Improvement Corporation will re-establish and maintain values as no individual can. Mr. Farhowsky stated that colored property owners were sustaining as great a lot as white owners, and that everybody was experiencing a hard time getting homes to carry their mortgages. James Gartner admitted that he lost a piece of property in Harlen because the property was carried his mortgage relief although white people HOTEL BELLMEN ASS'N HEARS ANNUAL SERMON Sunday night, March 15, at Mr. Oliver Baptist Church, the Hotel Bellmens' Beneficial Association heard its twentieth annual sermon preached by the Rev.

OLIVET LAST SUNDAY Officiating at three funeral services at the same hour, with the three bodies and three funeral parties in the church at the same time, was the unusual experience of the Rev. William P. Haves, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, Fifty-third street, Sunday afternoon, March 15. Funerals of Calvin Brooks, late of 42 West 132d street; James Wemm, late of 3040 Heath avenue, Kingsbridge, and Mrs. Mary Carter, late of 56 West 139th street, were held at 1 o'clock from Mt. Olivet Church. J. Wesley Lane was the undertaker in charge of the Brooks and Webb funerals, and Willey G. Overton was in charge of Mrs. Carter's body. This unusual arrangement was necessary because of the impossibility of arranging for the three funerals at different hours on Sunday afternoon. Rep- Mr. Brooks was seventy-four years old. He came to New York in 1866 and had been employed by the White Dental Company for thirty-eight years. More than half of the officers and employees of that company attended the funeral.

WOMAN 99 YEARS OLD DIES IN CANONSBURG, PA Special to TWN New York Acm WASHINGTON TEACHERS HAVE HIRED LAWYER. Special to The New York Age: WASHINGTON, D. C., March 18. The latest developments in the revolt of the colored school teachers against Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent, are that the teachers have gone so far as to retain an attorney to look after their interests. The expert is current and without denial, that James A. Cobb, special assistant district attorney, has been retained by the school teachers. This news has taken all Washington by the ears, since it is no secret that in all previous fights of Mr. Bruce for retention Mr. Cobb was recognized as Mr. Bruce's attorney. Why Mr. Cobb withdrew as counsel for Mr. Bruce is not generally known. In spite of the secrecy with which Mr. Bruce has surrounded his movements, there has been a leak of facts, which in some quarters has been attributed to carelessness on the part of his own office. For instance, one or two men here have been given credit and have been criticised for anonymous items appearing in the columns of a local newspaper, the writers severely censuring supervisors, and especially teachers who opposed the rule invoked by Mr. Bruce which limited promotions above fourth grade to college graduates only. These articles were written in a comical vein. It is reported that the teachers' organization has traced the authorship of these articles directly to Mr. Bruce's office. It is current also that several very laudatory articles, fully praising Mr. Bruce, have been traced directly to his office, and that at the proper time the evidence will be produced. Teachers Say They Take Summer Courses. The colored teachers, to the number of nearly three hundred, protested against the system invoked by Mr. Bruce, which permitted college graduates to take a one-year course in the Normal School and then, without any previous experience, be appointed to any grade, while normal school graduates who had taken the two-year course, and whose high rate of efficiency as teachers for a number of years, restricted them to the first, second, third and fourth grades. The teachers in their petition to the Board of Education state. We have not been unmindful of the fact that both cultural and professional growth are necessary to efficient service, and with that end in view the great majority of teachers have, since graduation from the normal school, concern for the preparation for work by suburban courses, lectures and research work. Never in the history of the Washington school system have three hundred teachers protested by petition to the board against discriminatory rules invoked by an official created by the board. Those directly affected by the popular rule, teachers in the higher grades, grade school principals and even teachers, sign the forfeiture of the rule reported, that if Mr. Bruce could invoke such a discriminatory rule effecting teachers in the lower grades, he could invoke pust as obnoxious rule for those in the higher grades. There are over five hundred teachers in the district, including the high school teachers, and the fact that practically three hundred graded school teachers are in opposition to Mr. Bruce gives a serious aspect to affairs. Washington is never happy without a school fight, which is an annual occurrence here. FRIENDS CHAMPION CAUSE OF BRUCE Washington, D.C. March 18- Friday, December 2, Bruce, assistant superintendent of public schools, ad- mit that a number of elementary teachers sent a petition to the super- intendent of the Board of Education protesting against his method of pro- motion teachers, but they deny that Mr. Bruce is guilty of favoritism. Since his assistant, have been involved in the controversy the super- intendent is confronting. The con- tentions of National School Network which was promptly ammended by the assistant superintendent and issued a second notice to protestors of special provisions in procedures for teachers on the service who have been involved in winning Alaska and B.C., which Mr. Bruce's deputy says was not with equal candor and demeaness. PRICE FIVE CENTS MOST PERFECT BABY A NEGRO Seven Months Old Wesley Alexander Collins First in Newark Baby Contest But the Judges Were Forced to Admit at First Examination That Colored Baby's Measurements Were Perfect. ORDER SECOND EXAMINATION Some of the Promoters Are Hoping to Find White Baby to Make Better Showing Than Wesley Alexander Collins. Special to The New York Ack. NEWARK, N. J., March 18.—There is being conducted in Newark this week a second and private baby contest, as many of those directly interested are hoping to find some white baby more perfect than Wesley Alexander Collins, colored, seven months old and sixteen days, who seems to be the strongest contender for the gold medal to be awarded the baby in Newark scoring highest in three kinds of tests - mental, physical and measurements. Wesley Alexander Collins weighs twenty pounds four ounces, and his proportions are correct in every particular; ```markdown ``` so much so that he has made the most favorable impression out of seven hundred babies in the "Better Babies Contest" conducted at the Young Women's Christian Association building, 14 East Park, by the Contemporary Club, a woman's organization to which the wealthiest and most aristocratic women are most along. There was great excitement last week when was spread that the gold medal would most likely be awarded to the offspring of Negro parents. The contest closed Friday. March 13. Out of the 700 babies entered 150 were given high ratings. The physicians and nurses in the first examination declared that little Wesley was well-high perfect, so she took a point standing between him and a partner score. Thursday, Wednesday, Thursday of this week at 150 babies, given the highest ratings in the examination, Mrs. William Collins, the physician, Mrs. Wesley, was given directions to clasp as a course of treatment for the babies coated tongue and on Thursday, when she was requested to present the child for re-examination the coating had nearly disappeared. Dr. Coit Not in Best of Humor. Learning of the high rating given the NEGro baby, an Acr representative called up Dr. Henry I. Cott. 277 Mt. Prospect avenue, who is to be the final judge, and inquired concerning the awarding of the medals. Dr Cott spoke rather testily concerning a report in one of the metropolitan papers that the NEGro child had been awarded the gold medal in the first child had been awarded a medal nor more than any chance for a NEGro child to win such an award. Declaring that newspapers were believed in by some people, he said that he had ceased believing in them forty years ago. Dr. Cott's opinion is of interest in this case because he is said to be the chief examining physician and the final judge in the awarding of prizes. Mrs. Richard J. Brown, 148 Roosevelt Avenue, the Ner man that specialized in the NEGro child's contests but was in the close closes with Wesley. She said that in the re-recognition all babies would be judged correctly on their merits and the award made without prejudice. Mr. and Mrs. Willies Collins arranges of this exceptional child live at 37 Lemont street in the Branch Brook section, with Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rose. Mrs. Collins' parents Little Wesley and the second child, the oldest being an William, for his father and seed three years eleven months. They will have been married five years on May 12. Mr. Collins is employed at one of the leading downtown hardware stores. The ladies from the Contemporary Club who conducted the contest were Dr. Augusta Madison Keim, Mrs. Rand dall Warden, Mrs. Frank, Urquhart Mrs. E. W. Murray, Mrs. William P Coe, Mrs. Richard J. Brown, Miss Clara D. Watkins and Mrs. M. Rova Whitenack. Among the physicians making the ex- aminations were Dr. Henry L. Coit, Dr E. W. Murray, Dr. R. Hunter Scott Dr. C. V. R. Bumstead, Dr. Mary E Broadnax, Dr. Louis Koch, Dr. Richard J. Brown, Dr. M. Royal Whitenack and Dr. J. T. English. TO RAISE $100,000 FOR WILEY UNIVERSITY Mary A. H. Tex., March 12—On Monday, March 2, the faculty and student body of Wiley University joined in giving Dr. M. W. Dogan, president, a grand reception in appreciation for his untiring labors in behalf of the institution. Dr. Dogan had just returned from a meeting of the presidents and boards of managers of Freedmen's Aid Schools at Cincinnati, O. He was elected president of the body for the ensuing year. Wiley was recommended to be one of the three Freedmen's Aid Schools, retaining its rating as a college. The dean of the college, Prot. Randolph, and W. L. Turner, senior college, delivered addresses. Dr. Dogan responded with his usual modesty. G. W. Jordan presided. The program was interpersed with a solo by Miss Holmes and a selection by the Gloe Club. Wiley, under the seventeenth years leadership of Dr. Dugan, has become one of the foremost Negro institutions in the Southwest. About two weeks ago the $100,000 endowment fund project was launched. A Mississippi Negro started the fund with a $1,000 gift. The student body has plighted itself to give $1,000 to the fund by commencement. Everybody in Texas and the Southwest is enthusiastic over the Greater Wiley movement. Oscia Taylor of Washington, a member of the Slater Foundation, was a visitor Sunday, March 1. BUSINESS LEAGUE ACTIVE AT KANSAS CITY, MO. Special to The New York Am. KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 17. The Local Negro Business League, under the presidency of F. J. Weaver, is really doing things in Kansas City. The league has a grip on the whole city, and all classes are working in thorough harmony and sympathy with the league. Some time ago the officers of the league arranged to hold a series of twenty meetings ins as many different colored churches on Sunday night, relating to the industrial, commercial, educational and religious welfare of the whole community. These meetings are being held with regularity, and the attendance at each meeting fills the church. A few weeks ago the league, in order to increase its membership, employed Mr. Robinson, a successful insurance man, to make a canvass of the city for the purpose of securing new members. Within a few days 108 members were secured. It was under the auspices of the local Negro Business League that Booker T. Washington made the appearance in Kansas City a few days ago while on route to the Pacific Coast. Notwithstanding an admission fee was charged at the door, when Dr. Washington spoke the church, which was the largest in the city, was crowded to its full capacity and many persons were in the aisles.

MASTERPIECES OF NEGRO ELOQUENCE Edited by ALICE MOORE LUNBAR The ONE VOLUME that contains the best speeches of 51 of the ablest Negroes or 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 trace, 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 Henry Highland Garnett, the first Negro ever asked to preach in the United States House of Representatives. It contains the speech of Fredrick 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 McCune Smith that ranks with Wendell Phillips' eulogy of Toussaint. Charles M. Langston's defiance of the 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 Ruffin's tribute to Crispus Attucks, 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 the Negro has done. It is carefully edited, well printed in large type on the best quality paper, and thoroughly indexed. Bound in red and green cloth, 512 pages, gold top with uncut edges.

DEMOCRATIC MISSISSIPPI MUD It would be difficult to convince Senator James Kirkman Vardaman of Mississippi, from the Governorship of which he was transplanted by a miracle to the Federal Senate, that the Democratic politics of his State is as dense as Yazoo Bottom and as stenchful when the sun shines bodily, but, without naming the bloated faced fire-cater, Gov. Brewer is undertaking to show the existence of just that condition. Gov. Brewer, the news dispatches state, has thrown down the gruntlet to his political enemies in and out of the State and declared war on political graft and grafters whom she may have footed the State. Lieut. Bibio, evidently an Italian graft on Minnesota stock, has been indicted for bribery and the Governor refuses to "throw him an anchor to windward." He has an appropriation of $9,300 to hire detectives to help him in investigating State penitentiary condition, which seem to be the storm center, as they always are where the convict lease system is in operation. Gov. Brewer flings the following defiance into the faces of his enemies: I have no object in view save the welfare and glory of Minnesota. It may be that by this kind of microorganizations they will succeed in breaking down every effort at enforcement of the law and turn this State over to this crooks, but I will promise you that before it is done that if God gives me health, strength, vigor, voice and vitality, with which I like to live, I will foresee they do. This I will take them before the plain people of this State, from Yellow Rabbit to Vinegar Bend, and with on motive save an honest one in the interest of the people. I will try to show, the crooks of this State before the people where Tony hid the wedge. While we cannot for a moment relax our vigilance we must not be precipitate. We must weigh all the considerations carefully, and must remember that if the Negroes be excluded from both the Republican and Democratic parties there is a possibility that they may organize a black man's party and acquire more or less influence as they qualify to vote. Democratic Executive Committee in the light of present information, that this proposal be left open for future consideration. Upon the heels of this recommendation by Gov. Stuart the Duval County Democratic Executive Committee has adopted the following resolution: This Democratic County Executive Committee recommends and urges upon the State Democratic Executive Committee that they pass resolutions providing that only white Democrats be allowed to vote in the Democratic primary. We never saw Yellow Rabbit or Vinegar Bend, but we are sure they must be great places in Mississippi, or Gov. Brewer would not have singled them out for fame, and we never before heard of Tony and the wedge and the place Tony hid it, but are sure that "plain people of the State," if any such sort can be found, will be glad to have the Governor show them all about it. What interests us is the prospect that the penitentiary system of Mississippi will get a good overhauling as the outcome of the row between Democratic high functionaries, as it has been shown the Negro victims of it suffer all sorts of horrors. Has a political party the Constitutional right to exclude from its membership a person or ten thousand persons, who believe in its principles and desire to vote in its primary to nominate and at the regular election to elect its candidates to public office? We do not believe that it has. A political party is not a social organization nor a private snap; it is an official agency legally authorized to promote certain public purposes affecting alike all of the people; it, therefore, has no Constitutional right to deny to any citizen, otherwise qualified to vote and who believes in the principles and policies of the party he desires to affiliate with, the right to vote in the primary elections of the party, disbarment from such right working absolute disfranchisement of the person so discriminated against. We believe the Federal Supreme Court would so construe the question, without regard to the question of color. At any rate, it is up to the colored citizens to test the matter in the lowest and the highest courts having jurisdiction. If Negroes otherwise qualified to vote are denied the right to do so in the primaries of one or all of the registered parties, it becomes a question of the first importance as to whether they should or should not organize a party or their own. In large cities like Baltimore, Richmond and Norfolk, where they have so much at stake in the apportionment of the common taxation for police and health supervision and for school maintenance and public improvements in their segregated schools and districts, the colored citizens will be forced, in self-defense, in the course of time, to have a party of their own in order to secure some measure of simple, plain, every-day justice. But no sensible colored person desires to have any such party, and those who force such an alternative upon them may know very well what they are doing but estimate very badly the possible outcome of what they do. How did Mr. Italian Bilbo get himself elected Lieut. Governor of Mississippi? And a later dispatch announced that Mr. Don Angelin, a combination of Spanish-Italian, found Mr. Bright with his wife on a railroad train and opened fire, although Mrs. Angelin had a one-year-old baby in her arms, and so mangled the rich Bright that he is laid up in the hospital for repairs. Don Angelin spending his time in jail. What Mrs. Angelin and the baby are doing the dispatch does not state. The point is that two years ago the question was hotly discussed in Mississippi as to whether Italians and Cubans were white or colored people, the question being raised as to the admission of the children of such to white schools. It could not have been intended by the framers of the Federal Constitution that the qualifications of voters and control of Federal elections should be left to the regulation of the States, because a person derives his citizenship from the United States and should be protected in all of the rights appertaining to citizenship in the last analysis by the United States. Like the laws regulating marriage and divorce, the laws regulating voting should be the same in all of the States, and should be made by the Federal Government and not left to the whims and prejudices of the several States. To this complexion must the questions involved come at last. Is disfranchisement concealed in the primary laws? We think so. The colored people cannot afford to sleep on the maxim that "Paternal vigil nis the price of liberty." They should have organized civic leagues everywhere to keep alive the question of their citizenship and related rights, with stated meetings and eminent speakers able and willing to instruct the people. mixing with and bossing all of the wind indeed that does not blow the others, promises developments not Negro some out of the mix up written in any book. It will be an ill On with the confusion! Who is white and who is colored promises to make the Southern States among the hottest places on the face of the earth during the next fifty years. The mixing of Italians, Cubans, Mexicans, American "blacks and tans" and stray Indians, with the vanishing white type that insists upon When they begin begin a sermon or they begin a long journey, with no definite idea of when they will get to the end of it, or what they shall do and say on the way. Sometimes the sermon is very amusing, and sometimes it is amusing and very tiresome. Sensible preachers have discovered this fact, and rather than run any chances with their reputations, write their sermons in advance or make copious notes, with stop indications at firstly, secondly, thirdly and lastly, and when they get through, stop. Even with these precautions they often run riot with time and matter and the patience of the congregation, being carried away by the spirit for that very purpose. Brazil is a plenitude of cool, inaccessible ponds in the recent months to "Brazil and the Negro," that reads unreal, untrue to facts, to act as to more relations in Brazil: Brazil is most fortunate in the fact that in white working population has nothing of the parallele about it. The whites do not endure to live on the labor of the blacks, the inevitable result of which, as shown in all other communities, is that ultimately the blacks crowd out of existence those who live on their labor. On the contrary, the bulk of the work, even in Rio, is done by white men. But these white men draw no line against the Negro, and in the lower ranks intermarriages are frequent, especially between Negroes and the most numerous of the immigrant races of Europe. In the middle class those intermarriages are rare, and in the higher class almost unknown so far as concerns men and women which the black strain is at all evident. But even in the higher ranks there is certainly no prejudice whatever against martrying a man or girl who is, say, seventieth white, the maximum quantity of black blood being treated as a negligible element. The men and women with whom I closely associated were, in the very great majority of cases, pure white, save in the comparatively rare instances where they had a dash of Indian blood. But they naturally and unconcernedly told me the facts as I have above related them. In the Atlantic Monthly for June, 1913, Prof. Hiram Bingham, of Yale University, "an explorer and diligent student of the economics, politics and geography of South America," in an exhaustive article on "The Monroe Doctrine," says, with special reference to the race question: Of the difficulties of establishing any kind of alliance between ourselves and the South American republic no one who has traveled in South America can be ignorant. An as well been held that the South American republic is a foreign country. Americanism. Differences of language, and therefore of spirit; the difference between Spanish Catholicism and the multiform Protestantism of the Anglo-Saxon; between the Yankee and the German; between the German and the French; between the origin in their race, we find fundamental antagonisms; the evolution of the North is adjacent to the lessons of time, to the influence of custom; the history of the Southern people; evolution, rich with the dreams of an untainted perfection. One of the southern neighbors is our racial prejudice against the half-breed. As Scoter Calderon bluntly says: "Half-breeds and their descendants govern the Latin-American republic, is a well-known fact that this leads to contempt on the part of the average Anglo-Saxon. Students of academies, institutes colleges and universities are among the largest bodies of the people who suffer most by the long winded peachers and other talkers of the word who do not know when to stop when they get through, because the rules of the school, require, that they grin and swallow the dose or be disciplined. The schools usually fix a time limit for the preachers, so that they know when to cut it out. Princeton University has a rule of this kind. Monday of last week when the Rev. W. F. Thayer preached over the time limit in Marquand Chapel the undergraduates coughed and otherwise indicated that the time was up, and when the preacher failed to catch on they rose as one man and tramped out of the chapel. Their action scandalized the authorities of the University, who instituted an investigation of it, and it has been widely discussed by the newspapers. When the Brazilian warships were in this country last year the colored officers and crew were openly discriminated against in the public receptions and public places of resort in Norfolk, but the Brazilians in authority glossed the matter over in silence: that they were resentful and carried away from the country hard feelings, which most Latin Americans are beginning to display toward the United States and its people, as Prof. Bingham shows in his thorough discussion of the subject, no one need doubt for a moment, and that, this resentment is finding an outlet in trade relations and will continue to do so, as with the Asiatic races in the Far East, is already being felt by exporters; while in any time of trouble with European countries the Latin Americans, like the Asiatics, will not hesitate to take sides against us. The Spanish and Italian races were thoroughly indurated in African and Asiatic blood and spirit long before the Christian era, while the admixture of African, Indian and Spanish blood and spirit has been continuous from their discovery in all of the Latin American States, notably in Brazil. The reason Col. Roosevelt imagined that most of the Brazilians he associated with were "pure white" is that he is incapable of estimating pure white when he sees it, because "pure white" in persons is the rarest color to be found in Europe and America, and because the first race came out of the evening and the morning of the sixth day black and not white. Col. Roosevelt should know this. This incident should teach preachers and other public speakers that they must not speak unreasonably long, and that they must have something interesting enough to say to make people regret when they finish. In Latin America the Catholic Church draws no color line, and all Latin Americans are Catholics; therefore, in the other relations of life, as Col. Roosevelt shows, no color line is drawn. A striking case in point is that, before the Spanish American war, there was no color question in Cuba at all, whereas, after the long American occupation, with Southern Governors General and their staffs of Southern men, Cuba became and is a hot bed of color lines and race antagonisms. THE GOOSE THAT LAYS THE GOLDEN EGG. We are, interested in the fact that the United States Express Company has been forced out of business by the popularity of the parcel post because it was built up and became powerful under the management of the late Senator Thomas C. Platt, who resigned from the Senate with Senator Conkling in the Garfield Administration and who after the death of Senator Conkling became the leader of the Republican Party in New York and remained such for many years. And for the further reason that the express companies doomed themselves by a system of gouging the Government and private shippers by an exorbitant system of rafts which resulted in what the proverb styles "killing the goose that lays the golden egg," and in forcing the Government to protect itself and the people by introducing the parcel post system. We say again, every Negro school of higher learning in the United States should insist upon a thorough course in the Spanish language. IS DISFRANCHISEMENT CONCEALED IN PRIMARY LAWS? "Is disfranchisement concealed in primary laws" has become a burning question in the Southern States and may be easily become one in all of the States of the Union where there are any considerable number of colored citizens. Each person born or naturalized is a citizen of the United States and of the State in which he resides, but this fact does not entitle him to vote. There are many qualifications he must have besides citizenship, among them enrollment as a member of some party organization authorized by law to place candidates for office in nomination to be voted for on party tickets. If a man does not belong to any party he cannot vote at any primary election, and if he votes for the election of candidates nominated by primary vote he must do so as a rank outsider, without any standing whatever as a partisan, and without any claim whatever upon the party or the candidates he may help to elect to office from constable to President. The question has been forced to the front by the very general adoption of the primary system of nominating candidates for public office, instead of the old convention system, and the requirement that no person can vote at a primary who is not a member of some one party; and because the new Governor of Virginia, Mr. Stuart, has recommended that the legislature adopt a law providing that "no person belonging to a class that has been excluded by the proper party authorities should be permitted to vote in the primaries of that party." Negroes are not permitted to vote in Democratic primaries. Gov. Stuart's recommendation, therefore, is an invitation to the Republican party of Virginia, which has no love for the Negro, to deny him party membership, as the Democrats and Progressives do, and thus exclude him from the right to vote in the primaries, or to be voted for, a system that would effectually disfranchise him, unless, as the Richmond Times says: The announcement of the collapse of the United States Express Company and the announcement that the American Express Company declared a quarterly dividend, showing a falling off of 1% of 1 per cent. from the December dividend, indicating that it is also being jammed by the parcel post system. Many other corporations that have gouged the public for years and defied the public demand for redress of the robbery are feeling the tightening of the screws the anti-trust laws have hitched upon them, notably the greedy railroads, all of which for years took the impertinent and insolent attitude that they controlled the legislatures of the States and the people could take it out in kicking themselves. Many people who have a private "goose that lays the golden egg" act in that way until they break it or somebody, because of their folly, encrusts them out of it. Treat kindly your "goose that lays the golden egg." BOSTON MASS BOSTON, Mass.—Mrs. Mary Church Terrell discussed "Uncle Sam and the Sons of Ham" at the Ford Hall Meeting conducted by the Boston Baptist Social Union.

Pius acted as master of ceremonies. President R. S. Lovinggood took exception to an article appearing in the Austin Churchman (white) a few weeks ago under headlines—"Shall Sakon-keeper and the Negro Have a Biger Voice in Morals than Austin's Christian Citizens?" The article concluded by saying; "Christian citizens of Austin, see that the aloop-keeper and the Negro do not have a greater say in the determination of the moral issues for the new year than you do. Pay your poll tax." The question is general and includes all. It hampers the better class and thinkers of the race from giving their best assistance. The Rev.

King Williams, Blanche La Young and Jones & Jones THEATRICAL COMMENT. OUT in Chicago colored Americans are demanding that the race be given membership on the Film Censor Board, and in view of the efforts of some film concerns to unnecessarily ridicule the race the idea has been opportunely suggested, as a representative on the board would be in a position to render his race valuable service. Now the colored voters of Chicago, if results count for anything, enjoy the negotiation of playing politics more successfully than Negroes in other large cities, and it cannot be denied that they get more recognition in proportion to their voting strength than do colored men elsewhere. There is no reason why a colored American should not be appointed on the Film Censor Board in the "Windy City," and if the colored people do not win out in their fight it will be because there is lacking that united front which is always necessary to carry a point. White politicians find it profitable to keep the colored voters divided when a political plan is involved, with the result that a white man usually carries off the prize. If there is a slight possibility of a colored man being made a member of the Censor Board at Chicago and there are one hundred applicants for the position, some fair and satisfactory method of elimination should be adopted to get rid of every would-be member of the Censor Board except one. --- From Norfolk, Va., comes the information that white promoters are building a $50,000 theatre for the colored people of that city. We hear much about the prejudice of the white man in the South, but not one instance has been recorded to show that even in the Southland the white brother makes serious objections to taking the colored man's dollar. But the white promoters who are erecting a theatre in Norfolk for the exclusive use of colored people should not be censured. Severest criticism should be directed at the colored people of that city who are not progressive enough to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities offered to make money in the amusement world. That white men are able to see the commercial possibilities existing among colored people and colored men are not is a reflection on the business acumen of the latter. In giving out the plans of the pro- tective a representative said: The theatre is being built to meet the demand of the respectable element of colored people who desire a theatre of their own. It will advance society and tend to uplift the morals of those who appreciate clean and legitimate theatrical productions and instructive moving pictures. As you know, there is not a theatre in the city that will seat a colored person, no matter how refined, anywhere except in the peanut gallery, where they are not only segregated to a greater extent than exposed to great danger in case of fire. This theatre will obviate the necessity of colored people going downtown and subjecting themselves to "Jim Crow" conditions in order to see a decent theatrical production. The statement that there is not a theatre in Norfolk that caters to the respectable element of colored people is indeed a sweeping indictment against colored managers who conduct theatres in that city, and, if untrue, should be refuted. And why is it necessary for white people to open a theatre in Norfolk to advance society and uplift the morale of the colored folk? Are the colored people fast asleep? --- The following article appeared in the Philadelphia Bulletin of March 14: Whether the managers of a place of amusement where seats are not reserved has the right to insist that a theatre take care of seats indicated by ushers is a question raised by an incident at an uptown motion picture theatre last night with a sequel in the police court at the Nineteenth and Oxford Streets Station this morning. Madeleine Davis, colored, 21 years old, entered a theatre at Nineteenth street and Columbia avenue and started toward vacant seats in the front. An usher told her to sit in the rear. She refused and when the usher tried to force has into a rear seat, the crowd, Woman, the audience became frightened and rushed for the doors and serious trouble was narrowly averted. A policeman was called and the girl was arrested. When she was arraigned before Magistrate Morris this morning the manager of the theatre appeared against her and asked that she be sent to prison for creating a disturbance which might have caused injury to many persons. Magistrate Morris, however, discharged the girl and suggested that her parents have the theatre manager arrested for assault and battery. In discharging the girl, the magistrate said: "Moving picture managers have no right to usher their patrons to seats they do not wish to occupy. When a person pays to see the show, he is entitled to sit where he can get the best view of the screen, and is not obliged to obey an usher." The magistrate was supported in this view by the managers of some of the larger picture theatres and by an attorney who has represented several motion picture exhibitors in legal affairs. E. M. Brancefield, manager of a Market street picture house, said "Mariestrate. Morris was quite right in his ruling that usher cannot compel persons to occupy cor- The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily pixelated area with no discernible content. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. tain seats where no particular seat is sold. Of course, where there are reserved seats, the management can compel patrons to remain outside the reserved enclosures unless they pay the additional cost for a reserved seat, but where tickets do not specify a particular seat, the patron is entitled to occupy any vacant seat. "I imagine the trouble last night was due to an inexperienced usher. The boy probably had been told to try to keep colored patrons in the rear and understood his instructions to mean that they must be kept in the rear. Of course the laws of Pennsylvania do not permit any such discrimination. I understand that some picture houses had a picture set apart for colored patrons and do what they can to have them sit there, but there is nothing compulsory about it." --- Bernard & Lee, Ben Toledo, Floyd & Floyd, Gonzella White and the Pelican Trio are at the New Circle Theatre, Philadelphia. The Reese Brothers are working steadily. Next week, Family Theatre: Shamokin, Pa., with Nixon Theatre Philadelphia, to follow. The Porto Rico Girls, with Maggie Davis and L. H.

Last week act was hit of bill at Keene's Theatre, Great Britain, Conn. Emmett Anthony & Co., Susie Pleasant, Raddiff & King, Mamie Jones, Wheaton, Webb & Richly, Lulu Peters and John Forrest are at the Auditorium Theatre, Philadelphia. --- J. Rosamond Johnson and Tom Brown, Edgar Cornor and Cecilia Mann, Joe Bright, Florence Brooks, Davis & Tyler and the Woodens are at the Standard Theatre, Philadelphia. Following is the route of the Dixie Quintet, J. Louis Johnson, manager: Belfast, Me., March 18; Brunswick, 19; Southington, Conn., 20; Randolph Center, Vt., 12; Islip, N. Y., 23; Port Jefferson, 24; Southhold, 25; East Hampton, 26; Sag Harbor, 27; Fleming, 28; Rinkhee, 30. --- In speaking of the Smart Set Co. company the Charlotte News and Observation said: "The performance was attended by a few white people, who rated it above all that have come here before in cleverness of Negro impersonation by Negro artists and in clearness of act. It was entirely free from the taint of coarseness." . . . The Clet Club gave a smoer Monday evening, March 9, and Julian L'Estrange, the actor, was one of the guests of honor. John Ellison of Denver did some capital entertaining on his mandolin, and Luther Blake, Joe Wise, Pete Staples, "Kid" Coles, Hughie Woolford, William Pettis, Louis Fuller and Elmer Bowman helped to make the evening enjoyable. PICTURES AT CRESCENT. The Crescent Theatre management has decided to do away with vaudville entirely and confine its efforts to presenting motion pictures. So for the next six weeks at least motion pictures will be in undisputed control. Arrangements have been made to give first-class pictures, and three-reel sensational films will be a specialty. So successful has been the country store feature on Saturday night that the management has hit upon another idea—poultry night—when live chickens are given away. Since the advent of the country store in Harlem the butchers and grocers complain that their receipts are smaller every Saturday night. LAFAYETTE THEATRE The bill presented by the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week had the right punch and the patrons found no reason to complain. Harrison Stewart and company headlined the bill, and his bouthack parlor musical sketch has developed into big-time caliber. There is just enough comedy, singing and dancing to hold the audience without tiring, and everybody works with snap and vim from Harrison Stewart to the chorus people. The feature of Smith & Mills' act is the dancing of Mills. Monday evening the vocal numbers of this skit lost some of their effectiveness because of the misunderstanding between Smith & Mills and the orchestra as to the tempo. There are three persons and a dog in Jules Marceau and company's act, in which the four-footed animal is easily the star. A very intelligent member of the canine family is "Lower." Bradford & Bradford's act is like wine-it improves with age. Bradford puts over several new jokes which hit the bull's eye, and Miss Bradford has a number of good songs. There is a disposition on the part of the Bradfords to use suggestive lines in their songs and talk—something which does not appeal to those who like clean entertainment. The members of the Ver Valin Trio are versatile musicians, especially the young lady, who can play the trombone, sing, dance and turn a somersault. The act gives much attention to costumes. It would not be out of keeping for the i musicians to use a popular selection. Charles H. Gilpin is back in New York and a clever performer is he. He is doing a single turn in which he makes a fine impression both as a singer and a character actor. The country store given every Saturday evening has become very popular. HOWARD BEATEN BY COLUMBIA ALUMNI (BY ARTEE RAY.) The best basketball game of the season was played between the Columbia Alumni, made up of former star 'Grads' of Columbia University, and the Howard University five, of Washington, last Friday night at Manhattan Casono. The game, which was very interesting, was attended by a large crowd, and surprised the many "Dougting Thomases" who predicted that Columbia would not play. The better element was very much in evidence. Columbia Alumni came on the canvas all nicely uniformed with a light blue A on their jerseys, and immediately each man shook hands with his opponent in the Howard line-up, which shwoed true college spirit to begin with. Howard started the score by making the first basket and the Alumni scored one foul. From that time on it was mip and tuck. Howard played her same swift game, with Gilmore, assisted by Holland and Henderson, starring. Gilmore gave Ryan, the Alumni; center, quite some trouble, and the first half ended by 13 to 12 in favor of Howard. Howard's player worked the ball up to their basket and short close range, while the Alumni team made quite a few long spectacular shots which brought the enthusiastic audience to its feet. The second half started fast, both teams playing their best. Howard again scored the first basket, and this set the Alumni going at top speed, which soon turned the tables. Ryan began covering Gilmore much closer, realizing that he was not up against a novice. Mark Hurley, captain of the Alumni, played well and prevented his man from shooting, while "Babe" Benson. Calder and the others got together and showed some good team work. Benson and Calder scored from all angles, but this does not by any means so what they had an easy time of it, as Howard in the meantime played her game and displayed unusual skill, covering well and making the players on the Alumni play their hardest and fastest game to get things going their way. With four points in advance of Howard, the Alumni gained more confidence and speed as the gam e went along, but Howard still played the game clean and fast, and at all stages each team knew exactly what they were doing. It was plain to see that the Columbia "Grads" knew basketball, and so did Howard. There were no scraps, no back talk and no arguments. "Tom" Thorps, the referee, who handled the game, is one of the most cool and gentlemanly referees in this business. Gilmore. Holland and Henderson were point getters for Howard, and although the team is light, the players are clean and spunky. Naturally the Columbia Alumni is made up of all stars, but Howard certainly did give them quite a battle. The final score was 25 to 19, in favor of Columbia University Alumni, and immediately after the game was called the Columbia boys got off in a corner and gave their old college cry—Rah! Rah! Rah! C-colum-b-ia! Howard! Howard! Howard! while Howard came back with its own cry. Capt. Mark Hurley, of Columbia, and Gilmore, of Howard, walked off the mat arm in arm. The game was one that will be talked about for some time, and if, perchance, the same teams should meet another season, it is doubtful if Manhattan Casino would be able to hold the crowd. Nat C. Strong, who has conducted the three big Howard contests in this city, desires to thank the basketball fans and patrons who were kind enough to patronize these games and will another season try to even furnish better contests, as another college will be filled in to take the place of Monticello. URBAN LEAGUE ATHLETIC CARNIVAL Everybody seems to be talking about the great athletic carnival which the National League of Urban Conditions Amory Norcross will hold next Tuesday evening at the 68th Resident Armory, 26th street and Lexington avenue, in behalf of its Royal Camp. The two cousins match between the Flushing Tennis Club and the Turf Tennis Club of St. Mark's Catholic Church will be one of the greatest attractions of the season. The members of the Flushing Tennis Club are Meersal, Gerald F. Norman, G. F. Brewer, John T.- Clark and E. K. Jones. The members of the Turt Tennis Club are Mosses. Charles Clark, J. R. Benn, Phaon Martin and Russell Hunt. The beautiful indoor tenni courts of the 69th Regiment Armory will furnish great advantage for fast and snappy play and the public will be treated to an exhibition of tennis which will do much toward making the game more popular among the colored people of Greater New York. Representatives of the tennis clubs of Montclair, New Rochelle, Orange and Brooklyn, are expected to do out their initiatives and are the members of these two clubs for the purpose of making estimates of the relative strengths of these two combinations and the strength of their own teams, looking forward to a large tournament which probably will be held in this vicinity next summer. The indoor track events will have entries from the Smart Set Club of Brooklyn, St. Christopher Club, Ealem Crescent, the Alphas, the Evening High School of Brooklyn and numerous white organizations. The special guest between the club club Howard University and Lincoln University will be a great drawing card. Both Howard and Lincoln boast this year of having the fastest teams that ever used the clinder path in their behalf and the contest will be exciting. The other indoor events will be a 60-yard dash, a 300-yard dash, a half-mile novice and a boys race, in which many lands and boys races are beaten to the Camp or who expect to go to the Camp another year, will be entered. The basketball game will be played between the fast St. Christopher Tigers and the Start Set A. C. old time rivals. Much interest will be exhibited in this event, as this is the last game which the Tigers will play during the 1914 season in which, thus far, it has not been defeated. The prizes for the carnival are elaborate. Beautiful silver plaques will be given to the victorious tennis team and basketball team. A mercury statue will be awarded to the successful relay teat and diamond and silver scarpins will be given to the members of the teams finishing first and second, respectively. The athletes to finish second and third in the other races will be awarded gold, silver and bronze medals, studded with diamonds, sapphires and rubbles. The winners of the boys' race will receive gold scarpins. These games are given under A. A. U. sanction and will start promptly at 8:15 o'clock. Tickets may be purchased at the Harlem office of the Urban League, 127 West 135th street, telephone Morningside 8184; Brooklyn Office of the Urban Leake, 185 Dufield street; telephone Main 1383 and The New York Axe office, 247 West 46th street; telephone Bryant 3815.

ST. CHRISTOPHER A. C. NOTES. Theg preliminary game to the Howard-St. Christopher game: will be a picklightweight team of the best players of Salem Crescent and the St. Cyprian Speedbogs, combined against the champion St. Christopher "Tigers." A world of speed will be shown. The game between Howard University and St. Christopher Club is of much importance not only to the St. Christopher Club but to New York, because the boys in red and black will try to take the country's championship title away from Howard, so dear old New York can have the honor of holding it. Washington has held the title for many years and will fight ti retain it. On Friday evening, March 13, the fast Alpine Five of Newark, N. J., were defeated on their home court by the St. Christopher "Machine" by the score of 32—21. It was the return game of the season and the "Machine" won both games. THE BOWLING CONTEST. Last week's contest between Alpha and Avon proved to be a very tame affair without anyone showing even a flash of speed, excepting Dr. Henderson in the first game, who was steady enough to roll up a score of 170 and coming back in the second game with 151. The Brooklyn boys were in decidedly poor form and unable to win even the first game, which was more than slow, the winning team averaging less than 128, yet this average was 3 better than their score showed. NEWS OF THE CHURCHES The second annual reunion held recently at New Star Casino was a success and the church and pastor thank all who helped, especially those who assisted Prof. Freeman in presenting "Queen Ether."

Pastor Bolden discoursed on Immunanualism, his theme being, "What we may learn from the prayer life of Jesus, the Immanual." The Immanuel's supreme object on earth was to glorify His Father in Heaven. His prayer life was not only a deep, abiding mediation, so secretive that none could hear or understand His wishes but the book of John shows a vocal expression of prayer from His lips that stamp Him as the true and High Priest. In the 11th chapter of John's Gospel, a prayer from his lips to the Father for Himself, delivered in the presence of His disciples, which gives an exaltation to this medium of intercourse with God the Father, that excels any method of approach to the heart, of Deity. In this prayer He has set all Immanuelists an example in that the first object in their lives should be to glorify God their Father. Self-interest and self-will should not be the motives, behind our prayers in urging us to duty. Our whole life in all its varied relationships should be yielded up to God. For when we have done all to glorify God, then we have the right to ask that God should glorify us with himself. Creation is what it is, in order that it may show forth the glory of God; and there is no other way for His creatures to receive glory and honor except as they glorify and honor Him. The Sunday School convened at the usual hour. Superintendent James Hinton conducted the opening exercises. Great preparations are being made by both church and school for the Easter rally.
