SENATE CONFIRMS ROBT. H. TERRELL Wins Long Fight for Confirmation as Judge of Municipal Court SECTIONAL LINES DRAWN Northern and Western Senators Support President Wilson, while Southern Senators Do the Expected. VARDAMAN HARD HIT Mississippian Finds That He and Other Demagogues Cannot Run the United States Government. Sr. The New York Age WASHINGTON, D. C., April 29. After nine weeks of determined opposition by Vatlaman, Hoke Smith and other demagogic Southern Senators, the United States Senate has confirmed the nomination of Robert H. Terrrell to be Judge [Picture of a man with a serious expression, wearing a suit and tie. The background is black with an oval frame around the portrait.] of the Municipal Court for the District of Columbia. Northern and Western Senators, Republicans and Democrats and Progressives, refused to consider any other nominations until that of Judge Terrell had been passed upon. The vote was 39 to 24, the Southern members all voting adversely. Effort mention of Judge Terrell's confirmation was made in last week's issue of The Age, which was the first publication in the country (daily papers not excepted) to tell of the bitter defeat administered the Senators who primarily get into the public print by their radical anti-Negro utterances. It is said that had Vardaman, Smith and other Senators who hold their seats because the Negro has been robbed of the right to vote, persisted in filibuster-groups against the nomination of Judge Terrell that the most heated debate on the question since the defeat of the Lodge Federal Election Bill would have ensued, Senators Clapp, Lafolette, Dillingham, Root, Burton, Wesley Jones and others had given notice that they had prepared speeches in which they would vigorously defend the Negro. President Wilson Forces the Issue. President Wilson's hand was plainly seen in the first for Judge Terrell's confirmation, as Senator John W. Kern, the Democratic floor leader, personally went to the front for Judge Terrell. The fight against Judge Terrell brought him many supporters, especially among Democrats resident here who are conversant with the good work he has done on the municipal bench for the past twelve years. Judge Terrell is the first candidate for any judgesship here who has had the unanimous support of the local bar. When the news of his confirmation became generally known Friday evening Judge Terrell was warmly commended by colored and white Republicans and Democrats, Northerners and Southerners. Everywhere he went Saturday he received an ovation and the same was continued this week. Letters and telegrams of congratulation have been received from all parts of the country. This is the first real fight that the President has had over the nomination of a colored man. Adam Patterson was named for the position of Secretary of the Treasury, but he declined the nomination when he found himself in Vardaman and others were prepared to fight him. Dr. George W. Hillman for the position of United States Minister to Liberia, following the nomination of Fred R. Moore, of New York, Buckner was confirmed, but then gave notice that no nominations for colored men would be allowed to go through. Turrell was born in Virginia (Continued on Page 21) FOREIGN MISSION BOARD HOLDS ANNUAL SESSION The annual meeting of the Foreign Mission Board of the A. M. E.

M., April 27.—The brother of the young colored girl who was lynched by a mob of white ruffians near Wagner, Okla., a few weeks ago, passed through this town on his way to Mexico. He gave a pathetic account of the lynching to colored citizens here. The young man's sister was but 17 years old and of respectable parents. Two half-drunken white men walked into their home during the absence of the mother and found the girl dressing, locked themselves in her room and criminally assaulted her. Her screams for help were heard by her brother, who, kicking down the door, went to her rescue. In defending his sister one of the brutes was killed and the other escaped. Later in the evening the local authorities, failing to find the brother, arrested the sister, who was taken from jail by a mob at 4 o'clock in the morning and lynched. From his hiding place the brother, who is 21 years old, could hear his sister's cries for help, but he was powerless to aid her. The young mafi is anxious to learn the fate of his parents. WOULD NOT VOTE TO APPROVE MEXICAN WAR APPROVE MEXICAN WAR On Thursday evening, April 23, a mass meeting was held at St. Mark's M. E. Church, 53d street, to discuss problems of education. All the speakers confined themselves to the question under consideration until the introduction of Dr. Alan Hudson, of Brockton, Mass, who launched out on the "patriotic" theme of "the country's honor." "the glory of the flag," and the like. In closing his remarks, he offered a resolution that the meeting endorse the policy of President Wilson in his campaign of war in Mexico. The Rev. G. F. Miller, who presided, refused to put the resolution before the meeting and spoke against them. Dr. Hudson put the resolution to a vote himself, but did not receive a vote in support of it.

DISTINGUISHED AND SELF ON MEXICAN BORDER Special to The New York Times Dobble Cas Ariz. April 27. The Negro has already begun to distinguish himself in the conflict now taking place between the United States and Mexico. Earl St. Claire, a member of the 9th Cavalry, is in line for promotion for having prevented several Mexicans and white conspirators from stealing two machine guns on April 18, about 10.30 o'clock. St. Claire was a sentry on guard, and while at his post the culprits crossed the border and stole the machine guns. 19 When St. Claire ordered them to give up the guns they shot, fight, but the colored cavalryman them at bay with his six-shooter until help came. A number of the roses escaped, but eight Mexicans and two white Americans were captured. The cavalrymen also took three automobiles from the deserdeados. St. Claire jumped into one of the automobiles and after a struggle captured one of the Mexicans who had succeeded in escaping, with a machine gun during the meles. Earl St. Claire is 22 years old. The members of the 9th Cavalry are noted for their undaunted courage, and young St. Claire is no exception to the rule. BROOKLYN GIRLS STOP JIM CROWN POLICY An effort to jim crow Negro patrons by a new restaurant in Brooklyn has been nipped in the bait by the courageous action of two young colored women stenographers. The restaurant is located on Fulton street, near Duffield, and has recently been opened. Miss Nina E. Wilson, 246 Fulton street, and Miss Carrietta V. Owens, of the Brooklyn branch of the Urban League, went into the Brooklyn Dining Hall for lunch. The woman cashier, summoned by the manager, intercepted the young women before they were seated and ordered them to go to the rear near the kitchen door, where tables were reserved. They declined to do so and quietly left the place. A well-known Brooklyn philanthropist, a white woman, was informed of the occurrence and her aid enlisted. One of the city's prominent white clergymen joined in. Last Friday the young ladies again repaired to the restaurant, preceded by the minister, who was present as a witness. The woman cashier again intercepted Miss Wilson and Miss Owens, and when they failed to take seats at a table in the rear refused them service. The manager came upon the scene and in rough and boisterous language told them, "If you wish to be served go to the rear where a place is reserved for you people." When asked by the young women if he would refuse to serve them at tables near where they were standing, he evaded direct reply by saying, "We'll serve you at the rear of the room." An opportunity offering, the young women took seats at tables in the front. The proprietor walked rapidly toward the back of the dining hall, exclaiming, angrily, "I'll show you whether you will be served there or not." At this point the white clergyman thinking ejection of the young women might follow, expressed to the manager in strong but courteous terms disapproval of the refusal to serve patrons wherever they wanted to sit. Said the minister: "I see no reason why these young women should be treated in this manner. Do you know what the law says about such things? What is your reason?" The manager replied that some of his customers had left the place because of the presence of the colored girls and he lost trade. Then he angrily asked the girls: "What are you trying to do to me? I know all about this game of yours myself. I have been all through it. What are you trying to do, anyway?" The minister handed his card to the manager, and told the girls he was at their service whenever desired. The manager with poor grace took the young women's order and instructed the waitress to serve them, which was done, and they ate their lunch at the table near the front door instead of near the kitchen door. ILLINOIS NEGROES WANT LARGER APPOPRIATION Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 29.—Congressman Madden of Chicago, has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives asking that $150,000 be added to the present sum appropriated by the State of Illinois for the holding of an exposition at Chicago in 1915, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions. DIVORCE SET ASIDE SECOND MARRIAGE VOID DIVORCE SET ASIDE SECOND MARRIAGE VOID Peculiar Turn of Affairs in Marital Troubles of George H. Gates IONE H. GATES WINS SUIT Wife No. 1 Has Divorce Decree Set Aside When She Proves to Court That She Is a Resident of Maryland. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. BALTIMORE, Md., April 29—Judge M. L. Keedy, of the Fourth Judicial Circuit, has handed down an opinion setting aside the divorce obtained on March 20, 1913, by George H. Gates, formerly a druggist here, from his wife, lone Hutchins Gates, a teacher in the public schools. The effect of the decree is to render null and void a second marriage contracted by George Gates with Catherine Cromwell, of Washington, D.C. The divorce was secured on the statement of Gates that his wife was a non-resident of Maryland. This course was pursued so that Mrs. Gates would receive no notice, which was effective until after the decree and remarriage. Gives Proof of Residence. Mrs. Gates discovered what had been done and retained Harry S. Cummings as her attorney, who immediately petitioned the court to set aside the decree, which, upon proof of her residence in Maryland for more than four years, was done. Mrs. Gates has filed her answer, denying that she abandoned her husband, and as evidence against him has filed a copy of an indictment against him in the Criminal Court of this city to which he plead guilty of deserting and not supporting her. Mrs. Gates is of a highly respectable family. Her parents reside in New York City. She is a kindergarten teacher in the public schools. Mr. Gates is a drug clerk in Washington, D. C. DISCONTINUE HOSPITAL: CLOSE SCHOOL AT SHAW Special to THE NEW YORK ACE RALEIGH, N. C., April 28.—Changes at Shaw University that close Leonard Hospital and discontinue the law school have been announced. President Meserve recently recommended that the Leonard Hospital be closed indefinitely on or about May 1, that the law school be abolished, that the four years' course in the Leonard Medical School be changed to a two year course and that the course in pharmacy be continued. Word has been received by President Meserve from the Home Mission Society of New York that his recommendations have the officials' approval. The following reasons are given by President Meserve for making the recommendations: That it has been costing $7,000 a year more than the total receipts to operate the hospitals that in order to meet the increased requirements for admission to the freshman classes of medical schools as laid down by the American Medical Association of Colleges and to prepare students to pass the more exacting examinations of State medical examining boards, it would require an annual appropriation of not less than $10,000, which the American Baptist Home Mission Society was neither able nor willing to take on an additional burden of $17,000 annually when there were so many needy fields calling, for urgent help and that the operation of the law school has always been a financial burden. MAN AND WOMAN GAS VICTIMS AT HOTEL WEST Special to THE NEW YORK ACL. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 29.—Various reports have been circulated in connection with the finding of a man and woman at a local hotel, registered as Mr. and Mrs. Jones, who were rendered unconscious by escaping gas.

Murphy of the Casualty Hospital, were called to the Hotel West, 11-19 E street, northwest; where it had been reported that a man and woman had become overcome by gas.

ABYSSINIAN CHIEF QUARRELS WITH A cablegram to the New York Sun from Rome states that alarming reports have been received from Abyssinia in regard to the probable invasion of Italian territory by the powerful Chief Ras Ghiargiro and an army of 50,000 men. After the death of Negus Menelik this army was sent to the province of Tigre to enforce the submission of that province, although the ruler of that territory had gone to the capital to swear fealty to the new Eemperor Lig Yasu. Chief Ras Ghiargiir's army is still encamped in the province of Tigre close to the frontier of Eritrea. The Italian officers who are watching this army have mobilized all the native troops and concentrated 10,000 men on the frontier. Thirty thousand more can be mobilized in Eritrea if it should become necessary. It is reported that arms and ammunition are being sent from Italy, and preparations made lest the rebellion spreads to the country and the young Emperor be deposed. As Italy is alarmed at the growing influence of England and France in Abyssinia, and fears the partition of the country between them, King Menelik's legitimate heir and the Pretender to the throne of the empire, Prince Ghika, who is a captain in the Italian army, has been sent to Eritrea to be on the spot in case of emergencies. THE TANGO HAS NOT REACHED LIBER REACHED LIBERIA The tango is unknown in Liberia, according to Reed Paige, Clark, who represents the United States Government as receiver of general customs at Monrovia, the capital of the little Black Republic. Mr. Clarke is now in a six month's leave of absence. Mr. Clark says that ragtime and movies flourish in Liberia, but there is not an automobile in the whole of the Republic; in fact, there are no wheeled vehicles at all, as there are no roads and no railroads. Life at Monrovia is villagelike in its simplicity, and the receiver of customs is delighted with the treatment he received during his two years stay in that country. Mr. Clark says his British, French and German colleagues work harmoniously, although there is some friction on political questions, but this is of no great importance. The port of Monrovia is showing a wonderful increase in shipping. More than four hundred steamers called there during the past year, with cargoes exceeding a million tons. WHITE WOMAN IS CALLED THIEF; GETS DAMAGES Special to The New York Ag LOUISVILLE, Ky.

PRICE FIVE CENTS THE BROOKLYN BUSINESS FIELD William James Price Inventor of Booth Which Is Being Extensively Used at Bazears and Public Entertainmerls. ALLEN DILLARD'S RISE Started in Business Furniture, Now Doing Understaking Essentials of More Than $6,000 a Year. With the view of ascertaining and giving publicity to the development of business enterprises among the Negroes of Brooklyn an Age representative has interviewed some of the men and women engaged in business and requested information which would show what has been accomplished. Only a part of the field has been covered, but the showing is most commendable. Articles to follow will in time completely cover the business field in Brooklyn. Willard James Price. 480 Vanderbilt avenue, is the inventor and patron of a portable extension booth which can be erected without the use of nails or screws, and, which will fit into any space, large or small. The booths are collapsible can be taken down and folded into a small compass and stored away for future use. They are in great demand by organizations and bodies which give fairs, bazaars, shows and other public entertainments where goods and merchandise are placed on exhibition or for sale. The booths are built in five and ten foot sizes and can be erected ready for use in five minutes. The construction is of wood, comprising a table supported on legs which continue up, forming vertical columns, connected at a height of eight feet with a head pael, the vertical columns and head panels being finished with transverse lattice work. The decoration of the booth is supplied by a drapery of bunting, crepe paper, or other material. The booths interlock so that the length can be increased, making, if desired, continuous booths along the side of a room instead of individual booths. The fastenings are supplied almost entirely by dowel pins, the only other fastenings used being two thumb bolts and two hinges on each booth. Neither nails nor screws are used; yet the booths are so solid in construction that it is not necessary to fasten them to either the floor or the walls. Mr. Price is the only man in the country who has a contrivance of this sort on the market for which he holds letters patent No. 1.065-272, dated June 17, 1913. Started as Messenger in Railroad Office Employed as a messenger in the offices of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad from 1900 until 1912, he started in 1908 a tea and coffee store at U.S. Utica avenue. As a means of advertising his coffee and teas at church fairs, bazaars, etc., he devised and developed this booth. He began by furnishing a booth at the entertainments with his own goods, but the attractiveness of the idea soon caught attention with the result that he was called on to furnish all the booths needed by different churches in their affairs. The development of the booth business was so rapid that it interfered with the management of the tea and coffee store, and so Mr. Price disposed of that business a few weeks ago and is now devoting all his time to handling the booths. The Dennison Manufacturing Company has one of the booths on exhibition at their store, 20th street and Fifth avenue, and has six booths at the store at 15 John street. Because of the adaptability of their crepe papers to the decoration of the booths, the company acts as agent for Mr. Price. The publishers of the Ladies Home Journal, Philadelphia, have been negotiating for some time with Mr. Price in an effort to acquire riches to use the booths, either by purchase or lease. The matter is still pending. Mr. Price has filled many engagements during the past two years, furnishing the booths for various entertainments. His largest contract to date was filled last week when he supplied booths for the spring festival of the League for Political Education and the Societies Building, which was held at the 71st Regiment armory. He also had the contract last week for the Washington Heights Hospital bazaar at the 22d Regiment armory. Other contracts filled have been for the American Druggists' Syndicate exhibition at Madison Square Garden, Bushwick Hospital at Schubert Palace, Congregational Home for the Aged at Pouch Mansions, Long Island College Hospital, St. Augustine P. E. Church, Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, Church of the Messiah, Church of St. Matthew, Howard Orphanage, Church of Our Saviour, autumn festival of the Orphan A of the City of Brooklyn, and the in Need Day Nursery, East Born in Danyla, Va. Professor in New York in 1897. He was married seven years ago to Miss Helen Howland of New Bedford, Mass. and they are the parents of one girl, Bernice, 6 years old. A Successful Undertaker. In 1901 a hired hand, driving a coach for another man, in 1913 Allen Dillard, undertaker. 782 Fulton street, handled a business for himself that totaled $6,000. Ambitious to achieve, he gave up his job as driver and in 1901 went into partnership with John Hamilton in the undertaking business. The partnership lasted three months. Then a combination was formed, with Ed Watkins which lasted until 1904. Mr. Dillard came out of this venture penillem. He started business at the present location that same year without a dollar and for three years had a tremendous struggle. Speaking of it, Mr. Dillard, says that many days he did not have a nickel with which to buy lunch. He had to borrow money to equip each funeral as he would get it, and many times, he would not be paid for the funeral. Now he is doing a business of more than $6,000 a year, and has a full and complete equipment. A novel feature worked out by Mr. Dillard is that he does not use cousins for his funerals, except in case of infants. It matters not how little the family can afford to pay for a funeral, it is an ironclad rule with Mr. Dillard to furnish a casket even though he loses money on the funeral. And he does not turn any poor people away, either; in fact, his friends say that the secret of his success is in the great amount of charitable work which he does quietly and unostentationally. Failure of an employee to obey instructions in a charitable case was the cause of Mr. Dillard's only appearance before the Board of Health. The body was kept out of ground a day over time, but expansa- THE NEW YORKER CHRISTMAS PRESENTS tion of the circumstances, coupled with his reputation, resulted in a reduction of the $50 fine to $10. In this particular case, said Mr. Dillard, friends of the deceased raised money by public subscription to aid in saving the body from the Potter's Field, but kept and spent it themselves, not paying him one penny.

Hampton, Va., April 28—The forty-sixth anniversary of Hampton was celebrated before a representative audience and a notable array of guests. Prior to a fine luncheon, served in honor of the occasion, a fine drill of the cadets, headed by its splendid band, took place on the drill grounds. When the impressive figure of Captain Washington strode across the grounds, a round of applause greeted his appearance. The cadets went through the maneuvers with military precision. Exactly at 2:30 o'clock the exercises of the day began in the spacious gymnasium of the school. The Rev. Dr. Johnson opened with prayer, after which Dr. Frissell read cheering telegrams from former students and friends of the institution. Led by Maj. Motton, the chorus of one hundred and fifty-four candidates, the folklore songs of the Negro were sung, such as "I Want to Be Ready." "Want to Go to Heaven When I Die." "Great Camp Meeting in the Promised Land," "Hampton by the Sea" and the favorite song of the lamented Mr. Ogden, "Steal Away to Jesus." The exercises were inspiring and creditable. Miss Blanche M. Briggs, a student from Suffolk, had for her subject, "Why I Wanted an Industrial Education." Miss Luhu Owl, an Indian girl of the Cherokee and Catawba tribe, spoke on "My Mother's People—the Catawhas." Ella G. Agnew, State. Agent Girl's demonstration work; spoke enthusiastically of her work among both races throughout the State. B. Luther Colbert, a student of Macon, Ga, gave an illustration of "The Raising of a Young Calf." He demonstrated his subject by feeding a week-old Holstein calf on the platform. Dr. Charles H.

Butler spoke on "The Awakening of Caroline County," in which she told of the obstacles she overcame in introducing new methods for old in her county. The oration of the day was delivered by Dr. S. C. Mitchell, President of the Medical College of Virginia, Dr. Mitchell's address was a memorial to the late Mr. Ogden, and thoroughly a masterful effort. He spoke of the great love of Hampton's benefactor: that he loved the common people; that his personal efforts and means had been used in creating a better understanding between the races, and the social uplift of mankind. He said Mr. Ogden understood better than most Northern men, the true conditions here, and put in his work that sympathy which can only come from understanding. Ex-President Tait, who was recently elected as 'Mr. Ogden's successor, as President of the Board of Trustees, made a stirring address. He said in part while addressing the graduates: "If you fail (and no one expects you to fail) it will be because you depart from the standard, and spirit of Hampton. It is indeed a great rest to get away from' pseudo, and sometimes real statesmen, but all politicians, who continually cry about legislation for people, to come here and see people doing something for themselves. He admonished them to energize their economic freedom, to labor, build and own, never being content to hunger and thirst for better conditions. TAFT HEADS HAMPTON BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAMSTON, Va., April 28.—Hon. William H. Taft was elected president of the Hampton Institute Board of Trustees to succeed the late Robert C. Ogden, who had served for many years the cause of education through Hampton. Mr. Taft, at the forty-sixth anniversary exercises of Hampton Institute, presented to the trustees the candidates for certificates, and academic diplomas. He declared that the Negroes should use the economic freedom that they have and work along an honest, industrious line. Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, president of the Virginia Medical, College, in Richmond, delivered the "Robert C. Ogden Memorial Address." He paid a hearty tribute to the man who had had an abiding faith in the common man, in the common school, and in public taxation as a means of improving economic and social conditions. "Gifts to the nation," an evening pageant; showing in picture and song the contributions of the Indian and the Negro to American life a demonstration of Hampton's practical training for farm life an automobile tour among "the schools in the background." a "pilgrimage" of Northern friends, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell's annual report as principal on Hampton's vital relation to the public, an address by Mr. Taft on "The Mexican Question"—these were some of the interesting incidents of Hampton's anniversary.

For a long period of years immediately after enunciation most of the energy and cash of the young Negro race went into the building of more and better churches. The movement begun them proceeded with rapid strides to within a comparatively short time, so that now there is scarcely a hamlet in the land where there are ten or more colored people, where there is not some sort of church or meeting house. The praying fathers and mothers who came out of slavery believed in the church and never got tired of building churches and exalting the preachers. But now that we have the churches, all that we shall need for a long time to come, the demand for good preachers in the pulpits to keep the good people in the pews has become a burning one: and yet the fathers of all the elecitative denominations regard church building and money raising as the principal business of a preacher, the primary question of saving the wayward from bad associations and making a good reputation for himself and his people in his community be subordinated. A pastor who wants to prolong his stay with a patient has only to begin to build a new church and the 'Bishop will feel under obligation to keep him in that charge until he finishes it; or to raise the largest dollar money, and his charge is made secure. We were therefore greatly impressed recently by the sermon on "Faith" by Dr. Solomon Porter Hood, pastor of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, at Trenton, in the introduction of which, speaking of "conference claims and their financial obligations," said: "I know money must be raised for the general and local church, and all loyal members and pastors are glad to raise as much as possible. Churches, above all others, should be honest in discharging their financial obligations. I knew that it is a worthy thing to build parishons and churches, and I counted it a privilege to have, during my ministry, done these things: but the minister must ever regard it as his paramount duty to preach the Gospel. I was not called to be a financier, but a preacher, a pastor. While I must raise money, I must ever keep that idea secondary. I must not go into any community and show that the chief end is to raise money. "The stress that is being put upon the financial part of the work is making it appear that a preacher's chief work is to raise money, and he becomes important and valuable not according to his character, intellect or spiritual worth, but according to the money he raises. Money is a needful thing, but in Christ-work there are, much higher things. I never desired to be regarded in a rivalry with anyone about how much' money I would raise. My great purpose is to advance God's work on the broadest and best lines that will build up a community and help mankind." Our bishops and preachers should begin to think of the situation from the point of view of the common people, who bear the burden of expense and who are, after all, very poor; however willing, in the multiplication of general officers, including bishops, the building of more churches and the diverting of church-money from the purposes defined by church law to other purposes not so defined. The people are thinking over these things, and thinking deeply, as the falling off in church attendance and revenues conclusively shows. EDITOR RANSOM AND EDITOR DU BOIS MAKE FACES. The General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of 1912, the editor of the A.M. E. Church Review for April informs us contained more than four hundred members, drawn from all quarters of the globe. IS THE WAR WITH MEXICO A JUST ONE? Congress has voted the President the necessary power to wage war with Mexico, and war was begun by the President in the taking of Vera Cruz by force last week before authority to do so had been voted him by Congress. Senator Elijah Root of New York, who was Secretary of State in the Administration of President Roosevelt in an impassioned address to the Senate on the vote of authority, maintained that the President had not given to Congress and the nation a sufficient reason for the authority to intervene in Mexico for which he had asked. The taking of Vera Cruz in in the nature of a slaughter, as two hundred or more Mexicans were killed and only six Americans. It shows that the Mexicans were not prepared for the action of the United States, because of refusal to salute the flag for the arrest and detention of some marines, for which the necessary apologies had been made. That was used only as a pretext, the President stating that his acts were directed against President Huerta, the Provisional President, whom this Government for reasons of its own has steadfastly refused to recognize, and not against the Mexican people. But the Mexican people do not so consider it, and all factions, which have been fighting among themselves, are now fronting the United States as the common enemy of their country. It is the usual thing to declare that all citizens are with their Government, right or wrong, when once the sword has been drawn, but there is no more truth in the saying than that all the people at any time can be counted upon to sanction an unjust or immoral act against a foreigner temporarily among them because one of their neighbors, one of their fellow citizens, for his own purposes, had injured such foreigner. "Is his conduct toward the foreigner just?" a great many will always be found to ask. So in the present difficulty with Mexico. We do not think that it is. We do not think that we have any more right to interfere in the internal affairs of Mexico than Mexico has to interfere in those of the United States. When the Monroe Doctrine carries us as far as that it becomes a club with which to crush our own head instead of to prevent European Powers from interfering in the affairs of the Western World. The Mexican people, who are weakened by civil war and the exhaustion of men and means, are in no position to war with the people of the United States, and the war must, in the nature of the case, take on the horrible guise of slaughter. LATIN AMERICAN RACE CROSSES AND OURS. Their position on the race problem and its mixed relationships, which they have themselves brought about, since 1620, gives the alleged white race of the Southern States such gratification and cocksureness as in no wise comment them to the rest of mankind, and especially to the mixed-blood sons of the white lords of the land, who gave; their names, and blood and spirit to their black and mulatto slave women, who transmitted it to their sons and daughters. They have continued to do so since the war since the emancipation of the slaves, not because the white lords of the Southland were not willing enough, but because of the growing self-respect of the black and mulatto women, educated in Christian homes, and schools, and because of the repressive laws made, by the white lords, not to protect their black and yellow sons and daughters, because they have left them defenceless enough in vicious laws and public opinion, but to restrain the lust of the white lords, to curb them within self-respecting bounds and to protect their white children in their name and reputation from having to divide their inheritances among their yellow sons and daughters. The laws are cowardly and debasing, like the public opinion that demanded and the law-makers who enacted them. The Greenshore (N. C.) Daily News is horrified at the ferocious manner Gen. Villa has treated the Spanish residents of Torreon, which he captured by assault, as he had treated those of Chihuahua, by expulsion from the country and confiscation of their property, and has the following to say about the Latin-American race crosses and our own—our own no more English in the individuality and character of its population, but a mixture of some of all of Asia, Africa, Europe and America, which is gradually changing the warp and woof of American thought and effort and the character of the people in their government and churches. The thinkers of Brazil figure that not more than a third of the nation will be stained with Negro blood, while the other two-thirds will remain free from the problem. But the experience of Mexico seems to furnish as emphatic a refutation of that argument as is possible to be conceived. No prouder race exists than the pure-blooded Spanish, Doubtless the Castilian thought, when he observed the intermingling of the lower classes 200 years ago, that only a small part of the Spanish race would thereby be tainted, while the rest would be relieved of the Indian problem. On the contrary, it is the Indians who are relieving themselves of the Spanish problem. Will the Negroes of Brazil sometime be adopting a similar course? The Englishman has stoutly and consistently refused to mingle with any but white-men. In America English blood has been mixed with that of every other Caucasian nation under the sum, but the result has made as yearly the weakening of the race. The Cubanian has been intermixed with other race with which it has come in contact, except Negro, and contact with that one has, if anything, increased its aggressiveness. The puttable collapse of the Spanish endured the mongrel furnishes a strong, if unnecessary, reason for persistence with which the southern white shuns what is to him the quintessence of horrors—for his race to sink into the sort of mongrel breed that day overwhelms Mexico. There is no Caucasian race, or Anglo-Saxon race, or English race in the United States, as such; it has become something else, of which the Negro is a great big part in name and blood and spirit; but what it will be when the mix-up has come to a type is not easy to say. But this we can say, and the editor of the Daily News should know it, if he does not, that there is less pure white race in the South than in other sections of the United States, as to the blood and spirit of it. Our Southern States have made race prejudice fashionable throughout the Protestant Christian world, and will reap its reward in due time; for; it need not be forgotten, the Protestant Christian world is a minority among its own alleged people, as well as of the Shintoists, Confucianists, Buddhists and Mohammedans, of Asia and Africa, against whom the Protestant Christian world is gradually drawing the sword of race, caste and religion, and to its sure discomfiture in the finish of it. Japan's blasting of the power of Russia showed that "coming events cast their shadows before," never behind. and representing some eight hundred thousand African Methodists, about which the editor of the *Crisis*, who seems to be determined to queer himself with friends and foes said: "Out of the cloud of bribery and rascality that over hung it (the General Confederation of 1912) came a few stars of hope in the elevation of Hurst to the bishopric." Just "Hurst," with no baptismal front and no academic back. Declaring that Editor Du Bois was not present at the meetings of the great body he dismisses as "the cloud of bribery and rascality," Editor Ransom modestly fronts the *Crisis* as follows: The editor of the *Crisis* enjoys the peculiar distinction and honor of being a race leader and sage who is not actively identified with any Negro church or denomination; with any Negro fraternal body or society; or with any business organization of the race, so far as our information goes. He is a thinker and a scholar against whose mighty pen-amara we would not dare oppose our unskilled and piny power upon the field of fashion. But we are most happy to write ourselves down in cordial agreement with that high opinion of the editor of the *Crisis* which pinches John Hurst as a star of the first magnitude out of the ethereal among the reholuosity, which, to his 'undermind' vision, overhiring the A. M. E. General Conference of 1912. It is not for THE AGE to leave the insistent labors of earth and follow either of the two editors in chasing with the careering stars "out of the ethereal and above the nebulosity" of imagination's willing jade; but we are interested in the sort of man. Bishop John Hurst; who came to us from Haiti, has developed into as a Bishop of a great church, and especially in his work in Florida. Editor Ransom draws the following picture of him, which easily In these days of adverse criticism, fault finding and complaint, should it be thought a thing inexplicable to go into an Annual Conference, and find a Bishop presiding there who went into the Book of Discipline at the opening session, and never left it in regard to a single-paragraph or item throughout the whole? Yet this is just what we found on a recent visit to the Central and; South Florida Conference, presided over by Bishop John Hurst. "There was no evasion, no equivocation, no omission, no misuse of the word favourable." In other words it was simply a government of law, with every entitlement of the General Conference as laid down in the discipline carried out to the letter. For example, not one penny more than ten per cent, of the 36 per cent. of the "Dollar Money which the discipline appropriates for the contingent expenses of an Annual Conference was permitted to be touched for that or any other reason," said the Bishop. "Come in for a little remembrance in the way of things financial?" Again, the reply is simple. He came in just where the Book of Discipline brings him in, and nowhere else. In the matter of truth, honesty and honor, he is a terror to证ifiers. Now, a Bishop 'like that' is so rare in our churches that he is really, worthy of being embalmed in song and story while he lives and to have a real monument, and no make-believe one, when "he goes out to sea." The question, "Do we need more Bishops?" is now burning big holes in the space of the Christian Recorder and all the little Recorders, the Star of Zion and all the little Stars of Zion, and the answers to the question are just as different as the hopes and aspirations of the writers, with a few here and there who see plainly, and say bluntly that no more Bishops are 'neither' but fewer and latter ones, as the people who pay for it all are 'being taxed out of patience or necessity to support them and the general work of the Church, as the people of the nation are by the Federal Congress and the legislatures of the States because their members must multiply laws in order that they may be justified and re-elected. Truth to say, we have become top-heavy, overtaxed and ruled too much by those in authority in the Church, in the State and in the nation, with all too few men like Bishop Hurst, who rule by the law and apply the funds of their Conferences as the law directs, with no favors for a few "pets" nor plenty of side "graft" for the Bishop. We need more men of that sort in the Church, the State and the nation to administer the affairs of the people, but they seem to be very difficult to find and to place in authority, the highway to preferment being so jammed by self-seekers, the real "rascals" and "bribers", who know and play "all the tricks of the game." "Shade of Solon, give us better men!" exclaimed William Watkins·Hicks in Florida in Reconstruction days, forty-two years ago. Perhaps one of them has answered in the name of Bishop John Hurst. COL. ROOSEVELT FOR WAR. Interest in Col. Theodore Rooosevelt, in where he is and what he says and what he does, and when it all happened and when some more will happen, never flags in shade or shine, in calm or storm, or "when the pumpkin's on the vine and the frost is on the pumpkin." He is one of the infinite varieties in the news of the day that can always be depended upon to catch the eye of the reader. We share the weakness of all other well-regulated Americans for the impulsive Colonel, who is as full of jump and go as a clam is of crawl and hesitate. The other day it was flashed out of the wolds of South American forrest that a section of Col. Roosevelt's party had struck a snag in the river and lost everything, and great was the suspense until many hours after news game that the Colonel was safe and unscathed. Close on the heels of this good news came a newspaper rumor that Col. Roosevelt had cancelled his engagement to visit Madrid and be present at the marriage of his son in order to rush back to New York in time to head the Progressive ticket for Governor. This news was still sizzling on the lips of men when out of a quiet town of Virginia the wires flashed the information that Col. Roosevelt would be offered the presidency of one of its small colleges as soon as he could be reached at Sagamore Hill without outraging the gentle proprieties. Of course, Col. Roosevelt is for war, any sort of war, so it is war. We were not surprised, therefore, but rather expected it, when the New York Times published under big headlines from Berlin in the information "Roosevelt eager to fight in Mexico; he may lead a brigade; his only proviso is that the conflict shall be a real war, not merely talk." Through all the advertisement runs the same subtle insinuation that Col. Roosevelt is stripped to the gunwales and training to the minute to enter the Presidential race in 1916. What a tyrant is ambition! And how many crimes have been and are committed in its name! Plutarch, in his quiet little Greek village, pursuing the ordinary duties of an ordinary citizen, and some things others were too proud to do is greater in the estimation of mankind than any of the bloody and immoral "heroes" he has immortalized in this "Lives." WOMAN'S FOLLIES AND THE CASH. ACCOUNT The collarse of the Henry Siegel stores in New York, Chicago and Boston, and the gigantic scandals uncovered in their management, in which despairment of their private bank depositors and falsification in statements of the condition of the enterprises, with kiting of the credit here and there to brace the whole business, in which millions of money and thousands of persons were concerned, culminating in great suffering for innocent and confiding persons and numerous indictments by the grand jury of the principals in the business, directs attention to the overgrowth of great department stores that cater to the follies of woman, who is prone by excess of vanity and the desire not to be outdone by the other women to go to excess in dress and adornment. Here in New York, and in all of the large cities of the country, there are to be found nine stores that cater to women and their follies in dress and adornments are peculiarly a weakness and their need of necessary clothing. Display and extravagance in dress and adornments are peculiarly a weakness of women; which might justify the surmise that they are all inheritors of his brothers' envy and desire to possess Joseph's coat of many colors his father gave him, and which they soaked in blood to deceive the old man, and long after divided-among them at the foot of the cross. At any rate, the envy and desire of modern women, as of ancient women, to excel in the richness, variety and colors of dress and ornaments, have caused more bleeding hearts and wasted pocket books of fathers and hus- bands than any other cash account that drains their resources and keeps them poor, except the national whisky and liquor bill, perhaps. Few husbands and fathers are strong enough to stand the desire of their women folks for finery in dress and adornment, and few women are to be found who are strong enough to contain their desires within decent bounds, and within the means of their male supports. The consequences are too numerous to catalogue and the horrors are trailed by millions of broken hearts and wrecked homes. Now, after all of the abominations fashion has decreed and woman has accepted in the past five years, what is the newest and most absurd folly by way of Paris? Why, Milie Jeanne Provost, "one of the daintiest Paris actresses," has created a sensation and set a new fashion, by appearing in public in her bare feet, "shod in pretty sandals, fastened around her ankles by cross ribbons in the old Greek style," "Jewelers." it is gravely telegraphed from the Paris seat of fashion and folly, "are already, having toe-rings trade for sandal wearers." Noso rings may come next. Clothes that were all the rage last spring are no good now, because fashion decrees something new, not because the clothes have been worn out and are useless and people are plenty able to buy new ones, but simply because the fashion makers in Paris and New York decree it, that they may fatten on the rich and poor man's caslr account to satisfy the envy, vanity and desires of his woman. The sober fashions of long ago, when one silk dress served for state and dress occasions and lasted the life of the woman, and the one suit of broadcloth did like service for the man, have gone forever. CHAIRMAN BARNES SAYS HE IS "NO BOSS" There was a time, and not so long ago, when the term "Boss" was applied generally to all leaders of a party, both great and small, and when it was not considered a reproach to be resented, but a compliment to be thought highly of. It was considered the correct thing in public and private to speak of Boss Quay, Boss Platt, Boss Hanna and the like; albeit, there was always the odor of offensiveness To sensitive noses clinging around the characterization. But times change, and manners change with them. That which was good and acceptable in the last generation becomes obsolete and offensive in this. It is now so with the term "Boss" as applied to a political notability, more or less sensitive to his good name and reputation, things withal in the last generation not much esteemed as assets of value by some of the best if not the wisest political leaders, who "were out for the goods," and not out for good name and reputation. It has come to pass, therefore, that Chairman William Barnes, Jr., of the Republican State Committee of New York State, has instituted suit for $5,000 damages against Mr. William H. Anderson, superintendent of the Anti-Saupon League, who called him a "boss" and accused him of causing the Assembly to defeat the local option prohibition bill. "A boss," said Chairman Barnes, "a man who illegally and immorally attempts to influence public officers. I have not done that, and I have brought suit against Mr. Anderson not for money damages, but to demonstrate a principle." The primary laws promise to give us cleaner political methods, and men who have to appeal to the individual partisans for nomination rather than to a convention of the party-dominated by one man or a group of men, are likely to have, or desire to have, a higher character standard and rating than under the old system. It is well, therefore, that Chairman Barnes will have the courts decide the principle involved in the term "boss." The establishment of a good principle, legally, for the general guidance is always a good work. The disposition to accuse men of all sorts of things because we may not, approve their methods, their ways, is all too common, and a stop should be put to it by legal punishment of those guilty of it. TONS IN NORTH CAROLINA. Of course it was to be expected that 'would be plenty of people in North Carolina, white people, who would present the unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court of North Carolina dismissing the segregation case coming up to it from Winston-Salem, and declaring the segregation ordinance without authority in law. But the opinion will stand, unless those who do not live it can muster enough votes in the State to adopt the initiative, referendum and recall, plank of the Progressive party. The Releigh Evening Times makes the suggestion in a spirit of irony, it seems, concluding as follows: "There is no lawful or constitutional reason why the court in the segregation case should have decided in favor of those towns, but if there were sentiment in favor of all segregated towns, we would our judges and all citizens who would do our holding. Failing in that we could go a little farther and adopt the principle of the recall of judicial decisions. That would eliminate the question from the realm of law and constitution." Mr. Clarence Poe, of the Progressive Farmer, for instance, is none too good to adopt the suggestion of the *Evening Times* and begin a campaign on it, to the hope to reach the Governorship by doing so. It is possible, however, that there are a large majority of the voters of North Carolina who will accept in good part the unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court and consider and treat the segregation business as having been disposed of for all time. We hope so. "Texas needs great men," says the Dallas Express, of course, it must mean colored "great men." If it does, it will be a great success in all of the states. The supply isimentally short all along the line. THE HARLEM MARKET. To the Editor of The Arg: Will you kindly allow me an opportunity to outline roughly from the layman's viewpoint, one way in which a Negro Market with sound, strong, financial support could do the most efficient good, that is, disposing of its stock so that it affected the greatest number of people for the greatest good: First. I wish to reiterate my confidence in a privately controlled market—a market financially strong and have a high trade. The influence and scope of this market monopoly would be benevolent; because it would carry out a liberal, market-driven trade. The market set of this type should be sufficiently capitalized, so that there could be an issue of about 30 per cent, of the capital as common stock, the remainder as private stock. The common stock being offered to the public at a low nominal value. The Negro population of Harlem is composed of about 400,000 and 80,000. Now, if 30,000 of these people earn on an average of $8 per week, which I do not think is too high, and they spend at least 30 per cent of their income, the Negro population is not 'high, as Negroes spend rather freely for food. At this rate $3,600,000 per year is spent for food alone and $35 increasing all the time which is apparent to the most casual observer. The second step should be to investigate in the Harlem district, with the most efficient market, suitable its location and efficient general layout and management. The market should investigate and formulate ways to produce Negro producers, farmers, truck gardeners, dalrymen, etc. I maintain that the small Negro producer—the one with a difficult, if not an unprofitable undertaking to try to bring his produce to the city, after he calculated the cost of transportation, time lost in selling, an important factor which the small producer would speedily discover. A private corporation market, on the could develop a system of setting in touch with the farmers, etc. periodically. THE AGE THE GREATEST EVER To the Editor of The Aviva THE AGE THE GREATEST EVER.

Trouble in Trinity Church BATTIMORE, Md., April 29 — W. Isabel Hawkins and George W. I. Mechen, representing the new board of trustees of Trinity A. M. F. Church and the pastor, the Rev. C. C. Fulman, an answer to-day (Wednesday) to the injunction proceedings that have been instituted by the old board of trustees against their assuming charge of the affairs of the church. The board of trustees, who sought a restraining order in Circuit Court No. 2 last Friday. The old board of trustees clamored at the new board was elected on the other than that provided for in the charter of the church—the second Thursday in April—and that its names are signed to the notes of the trustees. The congregation they are deserving of having their status. It is said that the majority of the members of the board are siding with the old board. The attorney is with the new trustees. Bishop Coppin has been appointed by the king to be the chief judge of court. The affair has even much ill feeling and it is first detected that Dr. Curtis will not be returned to the church when Dr. Coppin announces the appointments en-suing year at the close of the final session of the Baltimore Church. Moreover, the church is considered to be one of the most desirable charges in the Baltimore conference.

THE culmination of a year's successful endeavor came before a large and appreciative audience last Friday night at New Star Casino, when the music pupils of David Irwin Martin, director of the Music School Settlement for Colored People in the City of New York, appeared in their seventh annual recital. Mr. Martin's pupils are mostly juveniles, with a few adults, but the program was entirely unlike that usually rendered by children. The pupils were assisted by the orchestra and chorus from the Music School Settlement and by the Riverdale Orphan Asylum chorus: There were several numbers of special interest. Mme. Marie Selika, who has charmed audiences in all sections of this country and in Europe for many years, appeared on the program assisted by the children of the Colored Orphan Asylum at Riverdale and the senior orchestra of the Music School Settlement, singing an arrangement by Bush of Foster's "Old Folks at Home." DAVID IRWIN MARTIN Conrad C. Held has composed an overture with two Negro folk-song 'melodies furnishing the theme.' He has used "Roll, Jordan, Roll," and "Nobody Knows My Trouble, Lord." This was rendered by the senior orchestra, with Mr. Martin conducting, "Eugene Mars Martin, 9 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin, has been appearing in public for several years as a violin soloist. His appearance on Friday night, was in Leonard's "Romance in G major," and Brahms "Hungarian Dance, No. 1." Helena Sheldon Johnson, the talented little dancer, interpreted in classic poses Mendelssohn's "Spring Song," as played by the young women's orchestra of the School, with Miss Mildred Gassaway conducting. In response to an enthusiastic encore she gave, another beautiful dance to the strains of Will Dixon's "Delicioso." William Elkins conducted the settlement chorus and orchestra in the rendition of Beethoven's wonderful "Hymn to Nature." Beginning with the rendition of Chaminade's "Air de Ballet," transcribed for the orchestra by Gillet, which opened the program, the audience was given a succession of enjoyable treats. Little Norwood Fenner, 12 years old, played with splendid effect the first movement of the "Concerto in D major" by Sietz. This little chap is a promising violinist and under Mr. Martin's tutelage will undoubtedly develop as he comes into maturity. A trio for violins by Berelli was played by Corinne Porter, Mabel Lichblau and Thomas Lewis. Mrs. Gertrude Willoughby played the piano accompaniment. After Mme. Selika and the little orphan children came the overture on Negro themes. Mr. Held has made a splendid effort toward developing the possibilities of the songs selected, but his treatment is by no means complete. A thinness in the harmonic treatment is noticeable, especially toward the end, where the climax could be reached in wealth of coloring and thematic development. The lack of it makes the male rather tame. The senior orchestra, directed by Mr. Martin, gave a definable rendering of the overture. The Settlement junior string quartet, composed of Norwood Fenner, first violin; Eugene Mars Martin, viola; Wm Butler, Jr., second violin, and David L. Martin, Jr., cello, played a Menuette in G major by Mozart. The audience gave them an enthusiastic reception. The tiny chaps gave a good performance. The number that attracted more attention than any other was the violin playing of little Eugene Mars Martin. Self possessed and without the slightest trace of nervousness, the little fellow played his difficult number with absolute disregard of everything except his music. His tone was pure, pitch correct, and rhythm without a fault. In some of the more difficult passages it seemed that he would not get through without dropping a note or shirring a phrase, but he overcame all difficulties and every note and phrase was sharp and clear-cut and brought out without hesitation or doubt. Of course, the child hacking in temperament—that will me with years. David I. Martin, Jr., a brother to Eugene, and only 6 years old, played the solo 'cello part in the canzonata from the opera "Don Giovanni" by Mozart. The accompaniment is played pizzicato by the orchestra while the 'cello takes up a little ditty from the songs of the people. The young women's orchestra played the accompaniment, directed by Miss Gassaway. The only appearance of the Settlement chorus was in the Beethoven's "Hymn to Nature" number. This was sung by the chorus, accompanied by the senior orchestra, directed by William Elkins. It was splendidly rendered. The chorus had 'evidently given careful study to the work, and under Mr. Elkins' capable baton they sang with precision and authority. The chorus is well balanced and the voices show the effect of careful training. The final number of the program was the "Kinder" or "Toy Symphony" by Haydn, for orchestra, piano (four hands), toys and children's chorus. The children taking part in this number were thoroughly drilled and each one carried out its part without a hitch. The children of the chorus and the children with the toys were placed upon the stage. The program in its entirety was as follows: PART 1. 1. Muzart—Menuette G Major Settlement Junior String Quarter k Norwood Fenner, 1st violin; Eugene Mars Martin, viola; Wm. Butler, Jr., 2nd violin; Daydid T. Martin, Jr. cello. 2. a) Leonard G.—Romance G Major b) Bohm Mars Marian Dance No. 1— Eugene Mars Martin, Conrad C. Heil at the piano 3. a) Womm Wm.

Haydn Jos—Knaller (Toy) Symphony for Orchestra, piano, (four hands) toys and children's music. At the conclusion of the musical program the hall attaches cleared away the seats and prepared the floor for dancing, music for which was furnished by the New Amsterdam Orchestra: W. H. Wiggins, leader. Frank W. Stewart of the Society School of Dancing was the floor manager. A bevy of pretty girls, members of the Flying Squadron, under Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, president, served as program girls. Those serving were Miss Madeline Allison, Miss Bessie Pike, Miss Elsie Benson, Miss Vivienne A. Ward, Miss MaBelle A. White, Miss Carrietta V. Owens, Miss Mamie Sousa, Miss Helen Elise Smith, Miss Maude Turner, Miss Pauline Turner, Miss Gay Thomas, Miss Alice Sousa. The ushers were Daniel Agard, Mingo McCall, James N. Anderson, Herbert Harris, Paul Prayer, Robert Hamilton, Henry Karney, Edward H. Burney, Paul Scott. The caterers were Thompson & Porter. AT LINCOLN INSTITUTE Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. boasts one of the best and strongest musical departments of any Negro institution in the country, as was evidenced in the cantata presented by the choral society Friday evening: April 24. The cantata had been planned for Easter, but was postponed because of the absence of the president, Dr. B. F. Allen. It is said this musical would compare favorably with such a production given by a chorus in any institution of learning. The Lonecahn Institute Choral Society made its initial bow to the public in "Messiah Victorious." Some idea of the beauty, volume and harmony of the voices of the chorus was gained in the processional, "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty." The cantata justified that prophecy of good things to come. Miss Overstreet, teacher of vau sic, deserves, high commendation for the excellence of the rendition. The articulation throughout was almost perfect. The solo parts were all well taken. C. Williams and O. Henry were the tenor soloists, and they showed gains, in volume and expression. Miss Dorothy Watkins, contralto, has a pleasing voice, and, won the favor of the audience. The school is especially fortunate in its soprano singers, having in its student body several young ladies with voices of exceptional volume, melody and range, who give promise of some day taking their place on the concert stage should they so elect. Of this number Misses Lena Mosley and Berrie Ellis were the leading soloists in the cantata. "The vocal department was well supported by the department of piano music, under Miss Florence G. Pigeon, and the orchestra, under the management of Prof. Evermont P. Robinson. Again the Lafayette Theatre has changed hands, which makes the 'stealth time within a short period. Messrs. Plnegelman and Johnson, pioneers of vaudeville in the Harlem section, have given up the management of the house after a three months' trial. Sunday evening after the performance they discharged all the house attaches, and turned the theatre over to Henry Martinson of Martinson & Nibur. The new management took charge of affairs, Monday afternoon. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Miller & Lyles are at Poli's Theatre, Hartford. Moss & Frye are at McVicker's Theatre, Chicago.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT DREW LOWERS RECORD After Howard Drew's brilliant performance in the East, there is not an authority in these parts who is unwilling to concede that the sensational colored runner ran 100 yards in 9 3-5 seconds in Southern California, a few weeks ago. At the athletic meet of Loughlin Lyceum, held at the 13th Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, Monday evening, Drew, representing the University of Southern California, lowered the world's record in the ninety-yard dash, clipping off 1-5 of a second. His time was 9 1-5 seconds. In this spectacular race, Drew's opponents were Jack Eiler of the Irish-American Athletic Club, and Frank Stephenson of the Trinity Club. Saturday Drew, distinguished himself at the University of Pennsylvania's big athletic meet, held on Franklin Field. Philadelphia, by running one hundred yards over a water-soaked track in 10 seconds flat, James E. Sullivan, after witnessing Drew's performance, declared that he was ready to believe the speed marvel covered one hundred yards in 93-5 seconds. At Philadelphia last Saturday Drew also won the broad jump. A. & M. COLLEGE 4; NATIONALS 0. A. & M. College of Greensboro, N. C. defeated the National Religious Training School of Durham, N. C.

The annual game for the championship of the girls' basketball teams of the 'Varsity was played at the Barbour Gymnasium, Ann Arbor, Mich., on the evening of April 25, before a record-breaking crowd. "The Juniors, who have been the champions for two consecutive years, were beaten by the Freshmen by the score of 14 to 7. The feature of the game was the sensational playing of Miss Phyllis Waters, jumping center for the Freshmen. Miss-Waters is the first colored girl to ever play on any of the athletic teams. She was a member of the High School basketball team for four years, being unanimously elected captain in her senior year. She won a scholarship in the University of Michigan 'on account of proficiency in her high school studies.

This season's contest has proved to be the greatest sensation in the history of our bowlers and the excitement here at the end of the season is difficult to picture. Alpha three weeks ago looked to be a sure winner, when the Speedwells came along and took two straight from them and at the same time hung up a new record of 850, thus making their score 8 won, 8 lost, to Alpha 7 won, 5 lost, and Avon trailing far behind with 5 won and 7 lost. Alpha needed two wins to tie them, while one more to tie the Speedwells, while Avon needed three to tie and 4 to win the trophy, and they set out determined to do the impossible. The game Friday night on the Alphas' alleys broke even after a hard and bitter contest with two more games to be bowled on Avant's alleys on Monday night. Interest was at fever heat and Avant's alleys held one of the largest crowds that has ever witnessed these contests. The bowlers received much encouragement, and when the Avons won the first game from Alpha the cheering was deafening for five minutes. That the margin of six plus separated the teams was not made known for several minutes. The Alphas did not show up so well in the second game, and the Avons just won, as they plaused, thus making the three-cornered tie which will have to be bowled off on mutual alleys some time later, when a suitable one can be secured.

MONTGOMERY W VA Montgomery, W. Vn. -Mathew Buster returned from New York where he went in the interest of his several ventures in the moving picture world. His Rhinfield picture show is doing a nice business. Mr. Buster lost by fire two years ago. He is a valuable house, the other a single building. He is preparing to rebuild at once. Messrs. Henderson. Thomas and Buster are making preparations for drilling for oil and gas on Chas. Henderson's farm. A company drilling on the opposite side of the river has been built and has good prospects for finding oil. The men behind this venture are men of business and have the means to operate. Mr. Henderson has had tuttering offers for his holding or for his property, but feels that if it is worth so much to the company that he has business associates, can well make, and control their own investment. There are several large business off-terprises contemplated in the near future in our section. Contractor Geo. W. Lee has had a force of carpenters, mechanics and painters busy for over a year, and has turned out a score of handsome residences. During the coming summer he will need all the mechanics he can get. He is figuring on several new residences to be built, including a building, store below and this above for Burney Days on Railroad avenue. Mr. Lee has given satisfaction on all the buildings he has built. The following article, by Dr. Booker T. Washington, was published in a recent issue of the Outlook: For a number of years I have had the feeling that the more liberal and advanced thinkers of the South among the white people do not know the poor school facilities that are provided for members of my race in certain sections of the South. Often when I have been travelling through the South upon educational campaigns I have reminded white people my audiences of the school facilities that are provided for their own town or county for the education of the Negro. Frequently these white people have not only expressed surprise but have thanked me for my friskiness in letting them know about these bad conditions, and then they have taken-hold of matters and have greatly changed conditions. In many cases white people are so able to alter their own lives that they do not take time to find out how the Negro is faring in the matter of education. When speaking to the white people in the South from the platform I always try to speak with perfect frankness, but in a spirit of friendship and sympathy I have never encountered any direct or stubborn opposition to Negro education among the white population, but what I have found is indifference growing, out of ignorance of conditions. Certainly we must have truth and facts as a basis for any progress that both races are to make. A few weeks ago three of the most prominent white men in Mississippi were shot and killed by two colored boys. Investigation brought, to light that the two boys were rough and crude, that they had never been to school, that no one else was present. While no one had taught these boys the use of books, some one had taught them, as mere children, the use of cocaine and whisky. In a mad act when their minds and bodies were filled with cheek whisky and cocaine, these two innocent boys created a "gren of murder," in the course of which the white man was colored and then colored women met death. As soon as the shooting was over a raised mob shot the two boys fill of bullet-holes and then burned their bodies in the public streets. Now, this is the kind of thing, more or less varied in form, that takes place often in our country. Why? The answer is simple. It cluse Immerse himself in the life of the Nazi officer in difference arising out of a lack of knowledge of conditions on the part of the white people. Log me not mince matters, but state facts as they are, since it is only through knowledge of actual facts that progress of both races can be made. It is true that in a few sections of the South there is little to complain of with reference to Negro education or country living in other sections of the South, however, the opportunities for Negro education are deplorable, and so long as there is little or no opportunity for Negro youths in these sections of the South, to get the education which will teach them to keep their bodies clean, to know the law, to exercise self-control, to labor for its own sake, so long will there be crime, so long will the lives of people in the South be black people in the South be in danger from ignorant colored people and ignorant white people. Take, for example, the State of Mississippi, the State in which this crime was committed. By the last enumeration in that State the school population was 719,000; of this number 400 were Indians, 302,000 whites, and 410,000 colored. During the year 1912 244,000 colored children were enrolled in the public schools; this is just a little over fifty per cent. The average attendance, however, in the public schools was 143,000, or about thirty-five per cent, of the total number of colored children in Mississippi. Other words: sixty-four per cent, of the colored children. In Mississippi attended no public school during the year 1912. In Hinds County the average salary of colored teachers during that year was about $16 a month for five months. In district 25, Edgefield County, the public school for colored children was kept open by public funds about two and one-half months and the teacher was paid at the rate of $15 per month. In Anderson County, district 40, the colored public school was open two months and closed ten months. In Carroll County, district 31, the public school was in session one month and closed ten months. In South Carolina the average length of the school term for the colored people outside the cities and large towns, is given two to four months. The seriousness of this can be understood when it is kept in mind that there are almost a million colored people in South Carolina and that elighty percent of them live in rural districts. Thus in one State of our great free country, 200,000' colored children are held with public education for four months. The year, higher than the years it would re-require twenty-eight years for a child to complete the eight grades of the public school. nor any one knows that a two or a three months' school, more pittance of a salary for a means almost no school. The ones in which these schools are built as a former State Superintendent of Education in South Carolina, some time ago, are in many cases fit for stables. But South Carolina is by no means the only State that has these breeding spots for侵害, crime, and filth which the Patriot will succeed or fail, have to In Alabama, my own State, we have moral liberal Governors of any State in the Union. The Superintendent of Education, as is true of many county superintendents of education, is also generous in the matter of Negro edu- cation. We have counties where conditions are almost as bad as those in South Carolina. Take, for example, Wilcox County, Alabama. Here there are 6,200 white people and 27,600 black people. There are 1,854 white children of school age and 10,667 black children of school age. For the education of these white children there was spent in 1912 $33,000, or per capita; for the education of the 10,000 black children there was spent $3,750, or 27 cents per school. According to the report of the State Senate intendent of Education of Alabama, there are $28,624 colored children in Alabama. Of this number 198,000 did not enter any school at all during the last year, and 90,000 of those entering were in school only from two to three months. Thus it is seen that in the single State of Alabama there are almost 200,000 colored children who apparently are growing up in ignorance, and is being done in Alabama, as in other States, as well as in the elementary departments of the industrial schools and colleges, but their number in proportion to the total is very small. Some of the more, touching and heart-reaching letters that I receive regarding accommodations for colored children come from Southern white people of both sexes. The following is one example of many. A Southern white lady, the wife of a former official in the army, in a letter speaking of the rural schools in her county, says: "Dr. Washington. 'Since being elected President of the School Improvement Association of this county, I find conditions chommy enough for 10th races, but it is strictly relative to the colored race that I am writing this.' There was some irregularity in the indication of Dr. Dillard of New Orleans of the colored schools and this leaves me absolutely without this other need, which to suit this other need.' Now I am asking you to send me one of your best teachers—I mean most conscientious teachers—to visit each colored school in this county in the capacity of supervisor. If once a child could be too much to ask, then let them attend school during the scholastic year. The county pristineh has promised to appoint me a president of the School Improvement Association, and I shall personally undertake the direction of her work. If only you could see the heart-breaking mood as I see it. I have been called the Mosque of your children this one to you to help lead your pupils to a wilderness of ignorance and intolerance. This is one of the opportunities to prove your sincerity. "Allow me to recall to your remembrance the liberal and sympathetic attitude held toward the Negro raceway my husband, not only during his incumbency as a State officer but in all his dealings" with them in, private as well as in public life. The matter of improving the schools of this county has become a question of conscience, something must be done. This appeal goes to the name of our Christ, in behalf of the many little ones. Yours for betterment, "P. S.—We have only sixteen colored schools. After I had determined on this step, I consulted my superintendent, and he heartily sanctioned it." In a letter to the Montgomery "Advertiser," December 29, 1910, explaining why the black counties of Alabama, Macon County excepted, had lost population from 1900 to 1910. I said: "I do not believe that the leading people, and especially landowners, of the 'Black Belt' counties know how little money some Negro schools receive. More money is paid for Negra convicts than the few teachers in Alabama. About $16 per month, being paid for first-class, albedoed Negro teachers $26 for the second class, and $26 for the third class for the twelve months in the year, while in some counties Negro teachers get from $15 to $17 a month for a period of three or four months in the year." While I have dwelt a great deal upon conditions in Mississippi, South Carolina, and Alabama, I do not mean to imply that these are the only States where such conditions exist. I have examined examples of conditions existing in some portions at least, of practically all of the States of the lower South. On my visits to the country schools in these and other States I have seen some very pathetic sights. In some of the so-called school buildings the roofs leak, the winds blow up through the cracks of the floors and down through the walls, have seen in many of the schools fire breaks or trying to study out of the same book. In some cases two children would occupy the front seat with the book between them, with two others peeping over their shoulders, and a fifth trying to peep over the shoulders of the four. The ignorance and stupidity that control in some of the schools are always present, of little children sitting for hours on a rough bench with no back to it and their feet dangling in the air six or seven inches from the floor. In other cases I have seen, during the very cold, windy, winter weather, schools conducted in malarial districts where there was no provision made on the inside of the house for warming or the outside of the schoolhouse, and teachers and pupils would study on the inside for a few minutes until they got so cold that they were compelled to go outside to warm their fingers and feet, and then, after a few minutes, return to their studies on the inside. When these conditions exist in a school with a poor conductor by a poorly paid teacher, it is wonderful that any progress at all has been made in such places in the matter of public education. Now, as I often saw when speaking in the South—and I never say anything out of the South that I do not say in the South—in those counties and districts in which this or line or people in mine or my fifties are for, the duties of 10s under free conditions, no color line is drawn in the payment of taxes or in the punishment of crime. The colored boy who has $1.50 a year spent on him for his education is punished by the same court as the white boy who resides in the county and has $15 a year spent on him for his education. Aside from other results of this kind of shortsightedness and injustice, this lack of school facilities is fast driving some of the people where they are of best service to the white people and to themselves, to the large cities, where, in spite of sonably a sure of finding some kind of school) for their children. Any one living outside of the Southern States, have tazed the impolished within the last quarter, of a century for education and was tremendous sacrifices they have, made. It is hard to put in words a true or adequate description of the awakening that is now spreading all through the Southern States, in which this art is true, we must not fall, however look facts. in the face, even though they be disrecoverable and discouraging facts. The best friend of the South is he who will tell the truth. It would for this reason be manly, unfair, unable calling attention to the unfair, in the some sections of the South, to ignore, the many counties and cities in which the public authorities have vision enough and such a high sense of justice that good opportunities are furnished, in length of terms, salaries teachers, and in the kind of schoolhouse, in the education of Negro children. This is notably true in the State of Texas. Outside the large cities and towns in the Southern States the opportunities of Negro education are generally poor, but there are rural districts in which good schools are furnished for Negro people, almost as good in some areas as in others. This is true of both Virginia and Texas. In fact, I think Texas is ahead of all the Southern States in its wisdom, generosity, and far-sightedness in the distribution of the public school money. And I am sure that, the State of Texas has not lost anything, but has gained, in having a high and useful education. I was born in the South, have lived in the South, and am just as proud of the South as any white man could be. For this very reason I want to see it get to the point where it will cease to be continually held up to the civilized world as the most criminal section of our country. But we can rid of its reputation only in proportion to its success, as thrift and industry replaces gloriness and laziness, as high moral character replaces immorality. These bad and unhealthy conditions exist in many parts of the South. I repeat, because liberal and touchful white people too often do not actually know what is going on with reference to Negro education. These white people are so absorbed with their own personal business or in matters that have time, or take time, to find out the actual conditions in which colored people live. This helps me to hope that what I have said in this article may impress the leading white people in the South with the importance of looking into it and making known the facts in regard to Negro education. In some parts of the country public attention has already been directed to the importance of this matter in the education of the South, where I have recently been the white people are pleading for Negro schools, more Negro teachers, and they are not as ashamed to let the world know that they are in favor of Negro education. The same is true of many counties and cities in the South; but, when all this is said, we must face the fact, disagreeable as it may be, that when we consider the growth in population among the colored people in the rural districts of the South, they define the cent. of the Negro population lives, the Nation still has a serious problem which we must meet in a spirit of generosity and handle with wisdom, and, above all things, with courage.

West has distanced the truth so until it is a hard matter for those who know it to distinguish a from the other truth. We must admit he has told the truth at interment. The stewardess board, Mrs Addie Banks, acting president, Mrs Emma Vessels, Mrs Sallie Jackson and others prepared a Suncliff lunch the first night the Rev. Mr. W. at 650 Community law avenue. The presiding elder and life member of the meeting being out of the city, Mrs. Murray, Mrs. H. J. Stokes, Mrs Josephine Till and others entertained them. All who read the paper have noted the "Big I." We have often asked him not to use it so much. We have never had a pastor that had to tell the congregation so often that he was a college man. That may be the reason for the Big I. I think it would be fair to the people to tell the truth. We invite those who may be misled to see our facts and figures. There are rumors of dissatisfaction when he was at other stations, and the people are wondering why he could not go to Ward's Chapel, Philadelphia, when arrangements were made by the presiding for him and the Rev. Mr. Bruce to exchANGE. (Stone) WM. DAUGHERTY, ANTREW HILL, JESSE JOHNSON, PRANK HILL, JAMES WALLACE, L. P. HOPMAN, J. T. SOCKKM, Secretary, Trustees Bachel A. M. Church. Mother A. M. E. Zion Church.

In spite of the inclement weather of last Sunday, the services were well attended. Pastor Bolder-said: "The dialogue between Jesus, the Immaculate, niel the Apostle Peter, and the Apostle John, the second of the 21st chapter of St. John, is a perfect example of the weakness of human nature in man, and the strength, power and love of Jesus. The Immaculate, niel the reformed fisher-disciples had received this instruction. Their conception of this training was a time-serving one. Though Jesus had appeared to him, he his apparition appeared blasted their body, his kingdom of His kingdom, where they expected to wield powerful influence. Not being transformed and made new creatures in God, they lacked the strength to go to the teachings of His teachings; to go and proclaim it to men. Thinking, that their cause had collapsed, and seeing their fellow friends enjoying their old companions, Peter said to them. I go a fishing- "The familiar seashore, the nets and boats, the sea breeze and the dashing of the waves against the shores, and their human thought of the world, is the most interesting instincts, 'old associations, and fired with human desire, they said. We go with these. Like all people who work without orders from the Lord, we are not people whom God has elected to serve, their extremity is His opportunity. Their night of toil, of failure and disappointment was known to him. He comes to their aid, directs them from the Lord, and makes them successful that one of them recognized the results as coming from the Lord. Hence he explains that, the man upon the shore did not want to be an impulsive Peter, they came in shore. There they found not only their Lord, but fire and a hot meal prepared for them. After enjoying a meal, the Peter was given opportunity to resture himself of the Jesu disciples in the love and favor of the Immaculate. "Despite his conduct, which seemed to show such little regard for the Immauel, the Lord was loved for him. He knew—what Peter did not know—that he was not yet transformed and illuminated by the Holy Spirit. During His life he asked Peter to question to Peter: 'Peter, son of Jonah, lovest thou me more than these?' This question three times, followed by a command three times: 'Who is the one who answered each time; and the last time grievously.'⁹⁰ You knowest that I love Thee.' This put Peter and the other disciples in the right place, and the truth that God was with them.' The Sunday school was opened at the usual hour by Superintendent James, Hinton. There was a large attendance. The lesson was entertained by new students and Tickets are out for a grand concert and entertainment to be given by the children at the hall on Friday night, May 8.
