NEGRO REGIMENT HELD UP BY STATE Claimed by Adjutant General That Many Officers Failed the Test. ADJ. CARR MADE INQUIRY Wrote Charges Against Major Fillmore, Who Denies Allegation and Says Carr Is Out of Reglment. BELIEVES MN STOOD TEST Doubis Statement That Officers Did Not Pass Examination—Replied at Equity Congress to Attack of Carr and Blount Franklin Carr, 129 West 135th Street, who was designated as an adjutant by Chas W. Fillmore, committing the Negro provisional regiment unitary New York National Guard, under provisions of a law of June 2, 1913, has received a letter from W. A. Niver, assistant to a commander Henry D. Witt Hamilton, dated of May 9, informing him as a sentiment number of officers did not succeed in passing the prescribed examination of the organization of the regiment has been temporarily suspended. The Attorney-General's letter was in writing one written by Mr. Carr on May I asking for information as to when the regiment would be formed. Mr. Carr in his letter, served centrally May Mr. Fillmore, stating that the regiment had changed the names on the list of men originally scheduled to take the examination for which action, besides the major had no authority. Concluding Mr. Carr said: "Although Mr. Fillmore styles himself as the commander of the New York provisional regiment of infantry, he is supported by a few who are impressed with the Chief Mr. Fillmore, is the choice of the colored forces larger as the most fit person to handle the regiment. The members are little concerned as to who is to take command of this regiment. Nevertheless, they had any discretion in the matter Mr. Fillmore would receive very little information." The members of the New York provisional regiment of infantry are waiting the dawn of the day they will be admitted into the National Guard. They are very deserved of having colored uniforms, but if the law is construed, then the latter cannot be a varied force that are perfectly willing to serve. They are not the most loyal force that is just as loyal to the army as the Fullmore Refutes Carr's Letter. May, Fillmore was seen by a Represen- tative of the Vol. and questioned in commending Mr. Carr's letter and the Humanitarian's reply. He said that was not true that he had made any charge in the list of men submitted for examination. On the other hand, he said his list had been given to Mr. Carr, who had been designated as adjutant by the Commanding officer of the provisional regiment (May, Fillmore) to be copied and Carr had himself made a right of change. When Fillmore discovered this, he says, the list was from Carr and put in its original May. Fillmore said also that the reason of a seeming lack of interest and attention in the work of organizing of regiment Carr had been relieved until and T. Henry Karney an- nounced as adjutant in his stead. Carr also held the office of treasurer of officers' school which has been twice a week for several times. Not within the last few days he had taken action because of satisfaction with his work and re- lief from that office, electing Richard as treasurer in his stead. Carr is expected to turn over to Richard all the books and money on position belonging to the school in meeting Thursday evening.

BETHEL CHURCH WINS IN APPELLATE. COURT By a decision handed down Friday, May 8, from the Appellate Term of the New York Supreme Court, Justices Page, Whittaker and Guy presiding, Bethel A. M. E. Church, the Rev. B. W. Arnett, pastor, has won out in the case which arose out of its occupation of the old church structure in West 25th street pending the construction of the new building. The decision was unanimous, all the judges concurring. Brown-Weiss. Realty Company, present owners of the west 25th St. property, sued the church for use and occupation of the old church structure from June 15, 1913, at the rate of $400 per month. The defense interposed by Counsellor James L. Curtis, attorney for the church, was that the conventional relation of landlord and tenant did not exist between the plumtuff and the defendant, but that the church was a tenant at will. The tenancy at will was established by oral testimony, independent of the written contract between the parties and judgment was given in the Trial Court by Mr. Justice Young in the First District Court of favor of the defendant church from which judgment the plantiff corporation appealed. The decision of the Appellate Court means the saving to the church of one year's rent or $4,800. RUST STUDENTS HONOR PRESIDENT DOCKING Henry Sissons Miss.

PAYS FOR PREJUDICE WHITE JURY SITS ON CASE Returns Verdict for $140 and Costs in One Case and Comstock Amusement Co. Settles the Other Case out of Court Saturday, The New York Nat. Civic Bank, Ohio, May 12—The Comstock Amusement Co. owning the Colonial Theatre, one of the largest amusement houses in this city, has had to pay more than $300 damages and court costs because of a refusal to allow two young colored girls to occupy seats on the lower floor of the theatre at a performance one of almost last October. Miss Hattie Harris in purchased the tickets, and in company with her friend Miss Maud York in Toledo, reported to a theatre for the nature. They were admitted to the holding but after giving up the tickets to the doorman they were refused the seats. Their demand for the return of the tickets was also refused, the claim being made that the tickets were not for that day's performance but for another day. The girls were offered the return of their money but refused to accept it and left the theatre. The law firm of Southy Hornsby located in the Wallingford office was retailed by Miss Jackson and sent was brought in by the firm. The law specialist Harry C. Cox assigned the mistaken Minneapolis case to call the larger January office of the Minneapolis Court Judge Dan Will presiding. The after people demanded a retrial, the jury was enamored in the case. Jury Gives Verdict for $140. Miss York was the only prison for Miss Hairston. The manager of the theatre the treasurer and two ticket takers appeared as witnesses for the defense and testified that the tickets were for another day. But the weakness of their statements was exposed on cross-examination not by doubt they factorially account for failure to produce the tickets in court. After a two days trial the jury brought in a verdict in favor of Miss Hairston for $140 and costs the jury being amorous in the verdict. The settlement company treating the weakness of its course did not appeal the decision but on March 21 paid the full amount of the judgment with court costs of $140.

CONDITION IN MEMPHIS SHOW PROGRESS OF RACE Special to The New York Times MEMPHIS, Tenn. May 12—To an observer who writes here from the North in attentive interest on the Southern Sociological Congress, which has been in session for five or four days, there are some features of life in Memphis and surrounding country which prove a veritable eye toward one who reads about what is seen off to the South. There can be sympathy with the principle of separating the races on public carriers. Where separation is in practice in parts off the South, the arrangement must allow the Union station, here in comparison, the accommodation of exposed people are most unique and compliant. The waiting room and the restaurant and dining room serve companies favorably with that of the whites. Everything is clean and ready to date. Colored waiters in uniform serve the colored passengers in the restaurant and in the dining room. Colored people in Memphis have not quit voting by any means; in fact the Negro voters hold the balance of power in this city, and their votes are responsible for the election of the present city government. They have a club here with has for its object the seeing to it that colored people register and vote, and it is surprising to see how many so far. The Act of correspondent was not prepared to witness what he saw in connection with the meeting of the Southern Socialist Congress in one of the largest and most fashionable theatres here, on the afternoon the Dr. Rooker T. Washington and his companion T D Batterson of Mississippi, joined the theatre was provided with white and colored people. The colored people and the white people sat on the main floor. They attended by the same door and were only the same door. Colored people sat with white people on the platform. AWS saw things in connection with the meetings in the theatre that one could not see in the city of Washington, where colored people are uniformly regulated to the peanut gallery. All the meetings of the Southern Socialist Congress are held in the theatre where both white and colored people attend on equal terms. Colored people are on the program and colored people sit on the platform and in the audience. One other thing in the South has proved an eye-catcher. These black people here in the South do not pass many resolutions; they do not hold many indignating meetings, but they are going ahead quietly and things, asserting their rights and in talk but in action. Your correspondent wishes that many people in the District of Columbia could come to Memphis and see what the Negro is doing in the way of securing his rights, and using his rights. There are two well-established banks here in Memphis. Another surprise that comes to the visitor from the North is the fine residences in which colored people live. Men like Mr. Hayges and Mr. Sanford live on the finest residence streets. In each case their houses contain from twelve to fourteen rooms. The yards and grounds surrounding their public residences are such as do credit to go on as crime and wealthy people any race anywhere in the country. The red people and white people live in the same streets in the same city and so far as could be seen there was no friction or any attempt at segregation. --- DIVORCED WHITE MAN TO MARRY COLORED GIRL Dorsey, int.

Receivership Financial Function Only.

BISHOP SCOTT TELLS OF LIVENIAN CONDITIONS LIBERIAN CONDITIONS Bishop H. S. Scott has finally returned from an assignment to his Mission field of mission labor. He has the most impressive expressions and esprit de corps in the progress of the department of Liberia. W. H. Church Scott has to several interlocutions in this country of the Liberian province in the territory of an agreement with the government on recent managements of the Liberian name. As a representative of the Republic of December 14, 1841, who is servant to the President, he was a prominent officer. He was the first to be the sole to be the president of all others in the United States. While he was a soldier, he also served as a minister in the United States. He was collected from the import and export duties but all government funds and employees are being paid their salaries and taxes on the recent loan- and all other-national-obligations American Officials Make Good. Bishop Scott commends most highly the American officials who serving in Liberia, and gives unanimous praise the military men who have gone from this country naming essentially Major Chas. Young, who though connected with the American Legation, is an advisor to the War Department of the Republic; Major Wilson Ballard, commanding the Liberian frontier force; and Capt. Richard H. Newton, who is in special charge of the great valley of the Cayalla, Rivar, which constitutes the boundary between Liberia and French territory. These men, he says, are soldiers, and a credit to their race and country. The Bishop speaks highly, also, of the young American officers who have gone out within the past few months. At first considerable fighting was necessary before the natives were convinced that these men could outgrow them. But now they are in the strictest sense of the word peace officials, and have almost unlimited influence among the native people who have been troublesome to the Republic during the past few years. Regarding his work, the bishop says his missionaries have met with unusual success during the past three years, in their work among the heathen, and thousands have been brought under the influence of the christian religion. When he first assumed charge of the work about ten years ago, the entire membership of his church was 3,301, now it is only a little short of 10,000. He has in the day schools of his church 2,300 pupils all, except about 400 being the children gathered from heathen tribes. One of the needs of his work for the proper development of Luberia, is a well equipped industrial school. Knows Nothing of Chief Sam. When the bishop reached New York reporters of the daily papers wanted to know about Chief Sam and what he claims to be prepared to do for the Negroes he is endeavoring to carry from this country to Africa. Bishop Scott knows nothing whatever of Chief Sam, or what he is prepared to do for the people who follow him into English territory. Liberia could accommodate a goodly number of "newcomers," as they are called over there, if they are energetic, wideawake people and have something to begin life with. Mechanics are especially desirable, but those going to Liberia ought to keep in mind the fact that it is a new country, and they should be prepared to rough it, if necessary, until they are so situated as to make themselves comfortable. Bishop Scott expects to remain in this country until some time next fall. SUFFRAGE MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA A FROST Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 13.—Because it looked like an attempt at segregation the colored people of this city stayed away from the muchly advertised-woman's suffrage meeting which was to be held at the Academy of Music Monday evening, under the auspices of the Union Suffrage League, a colored organization.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACK HARPER'S FERRY, W. V. May 12—Dr. Ernest Lyon, former American Minister to Liberia, and now Libarian Consul General to this country, lectured upon invitation of President McDonald to the students of Storer College in the afternoon and to the general public at night. The afternoon subject was a discussion of the genius, characteristics and contribution of the black race to the civilization of mankind. At night he delivered an illustrated lecture upon the Republic of Liberia. After tracing the black race and its achievements in Africa, he declared that the change which has come over this once historic and famous land and its noted inhabitants, who were at one time the teachers of mankind, is due to the departure from the purpose of their high destiny. Africa's condition, said he, is a warning to modern nations who turn aside from the path of righteousness into the paths of sin and degradation, by practicing oppression and injustice, by an abuse of power upon weaker mankind. In speaking of the race in this country, he declared that during the early history of the colonies when labor troubles threatened the life of the infant colonies and continued until the forming of the Republic, when white men were held in peonage for the uncancelled financial obligations due to to the nobility of Great Britain, the black man was brought to save the Indian from extinction and to assume the white man's burden of labor troubles. He came at the psychological moment to solve the vexed problem of labor, to furnish the brawn and muscle which cleared the forests, leveled the hills, unnellied the mountains, bridged the rivers, laid the tracks and cultivated the fields, a service without which the marvelous growth of this country might have been impossible and this high standard of civilization might, never have been reached." The black man, therefore, deserves better, at the hands of the white man than scorn and calumny. The service he declared, covering a period of more than two hundred and forty years, relieved the white man of pressure so that he could accumulate wealth and thereby get leisure to devote himself to the study, development and practice of those virtues upon which the civilization of this nation is based and of which the white man is so justly proud.

It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office. Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." The Tuskegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publication, but some of the active officers of the institution are active and active and it will not only compilish great good but will be a paying investment. The paper is backed by a strong organization and funds have been provided in advance to assure its publication. These are the control of THE NEGRO FARMER have my entire confidence and good will.

Do not forget Railroad Day. Our people throughout the country where it is necessary, should be up and doing from now until June 7 and 8 in making preparations to make Railroad Day effective wherever railroads and other public accommodations are not satisfactory for our race. In every case it should be kept in mind that merely talking among ourselves and passing resolutions will amount to little except as this is followed up by sending individuals or committees to see the railroad officials and actually put before them the conditions that are unsatisfactory. This is 3 case where direct requests to better conditions will be effective. There are few railroad officials anywhere in the country who will not listen to respectable and prominent colored people, and we should make known our wants to them in a direct and at the same time business-like manner. We must impress upon the railroad officials, that it is worth while, as Dr Booker, T. Washington said in his first communication, to treat ten millions of people with justice and consideration. From a business point of view we must impress upon the railroadads that in proportion to they treat the colored people with the right kind of consideration they will get more passengers. And of course, we should not fail to impress upon them that it is unjust from every point of view to take the same fare from colored people that they take from white people without according them equal accommodations. We want to, put before the railroad officials the face that in many parts of the country the separate coach, provided for colored people is often not large enough, is not kept clean, and has only one toilet for the use of both sexes. In other cases we want to make it known that we want arrangements made by which colored passengers can get good food when traveling, and be served in a decent manner. Improvement is needed to be made in the cleanliness and care of sitting rooms. Through it all we should not forget to impress upon our people when traveling to do their part in keeping coaches and sitting rooms clean. If the matter is taken up and properly threshed out beforehand by the people in every community, we are sure that much can be accomplished. THE JEW-AND THE NEGRO IN ATLANTA. All the efforts of this counsel to obtain a new trial for Kego Frank, the Jewish manufacturer of Atlanta, indicated for the murder of Mary Phragn, have so far failed; so also has the determined effort, to incriminate James Conley, the Negro employee of the factory, as the murderer of the girl instead of Frank. The several hearings for a new trial, however, have uncovered a mass of seandal, in which false affidavits, Brithery, intimidation and downright browbeating of witnesses have played a leading part; not on the part of the legal authorities of Atlanta, however, lost in the part, of the Birtos Detective Agency, in the effort to save Frank from electrosecution or the hammans' moss. The whole country has been interested, in the progress of the case from beginning to end, because of the atrocious brutality of the details surrounding the murder as well as because, the evidence of gunner complicity has pointed to the Jew end the Negro. Interested Jews in many part of the country have seemed to take the position that the execution of Frank for the crime would be a reflection on their The address of Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, of New York president of the New York Evening Post Company, before the Association for the Advancement of the Common People, in the session of the New York evening post forceful. In the course of his address Mr. Villard said, among other things: "We believe of the North bold venture to believe that we can solve this great race problem. We believe of the unanswerable argument of a titanic historical achievement on our side. It was the North's civil war problem in the face of a practically united Southern public sentiment. The wisdom of the North is antidictimization in the North, which, with the aid of military necessity, compelled Lincoln to his Emancipation Proclamation, has since been justified of all men. "In the question of caring for the Negro the South is divided within itself. Within its own ranks there are malcontents and rebels against the dominating public sentiment, the sentiment, that is voiced to-day by political demagogues in eminence on the backs of the Negro, and by means of wicked appeals to the unreason and to the baser passions of a largely congressman who formed electorate. It is in these, violent anti-Negro Southern senators and congressmen that we are confronted within the other Southern camp a chief hope, a chief inspiration, a certain promise that the North of the South, together with that of the North, will eventually solve this terrible problem again. "As for the Negro-baiting politicians, I for one lose no opportunity to assail them with all the powers at my command. They are the most reactionary of our public men yet in power at Washington, by reason of the Democratic deities of the leader of the party which dominates our public life they are voicing with revolting hypocrisy the theories of the New Freedom. There is no more amazing spectacle in our public life than the eagerness with which the people are accusing that the people shall rule. There are none others the country offer as determined that the people shall rule. There are they to-day before God and the nation the chief apologies of reaction—the Vatican man, Hoke Smith, and all the rest of the Negro-baiting crowd, who have risen by defaming and oppressing the Negro they went. I have still another indictment against these so-called leaders, and it is one of the most serious which can be brought against any man claiming statesmanship. They are never constructive and always destructive." It is very true that if the abolition of slavery had been left to the slave owners and the South there would not have been any emancipation. It is not easy to dispute the truth of that statement. The efforts of the white South to solve the problems of the enunciated Negro without his active cooperation or consent have failed, and will been on failing, until the white South learns and accepts the truth, that the black South is equally interested in the whole subject, and that good results can only be got by mutual understanding and cooperation. The white South assumes and presumes too much, and concedes too little, where the black South is equally an interested party. There is a change working along this line, and it should be helped along by everybody who wishes the country well; and the gradual subordination and final elimination of the Negro-baiting demagogic. Democratic politicians is among the first and most desired things to be fetched about. TAINTED MONEY AND THE CHURCH What is tainted money? This question and organizations, some of which are own, and by church and benevolent of religion, taints of the saints who come live better lives than they inherit and a salt of the earth, who dedicate their life of them, that others may, in their way they seem not to be able to free them, lowest of the human family crave unrest their existence.

And this is of the sum the philosophy of brotherly association in that each, in some sort, is his. What is, then, tainted money, and some organizations, refuse to accept m.

Fraternal Monitor of Cincinnati, Mrs. S. question as it affects the church in the city. M. T. writes "Not long ago a church man who helped hence shall claim rest. Do you think that the church should? No. I think he was wrong, as the church be to build up the kingdom of God. "I do not remember of reading anywhere harsh or insulting. The man who kept the immoral; it is evident from his effort to assist back of the effort, which, to my mind, should the contribution had not been made to the charitable way. The man who helped the unassured rather than to earth.

This question has been raised by all of us, some of which are not without taints of some church and benevolent organizations that are, by the saints who come out from among the sinners, than they倡 and to encourage others to do it, who dedicate their lives and material substance to others may, in their wayward and fallen condition, be able to free themselves, have some of the common family crave under most circumstances and once, and a crust of bread; given at the opportun time, that makes the world not a beastly lust of selfish motherhood that does not obtain with what we call things in common, as the Socialists want; its and that persons—neither registered parentage and naming the person by the owner and law enacted for the best and wisest of people, often are mistaken in their to serve themselves, simply because they are their neighbors are and how best to serve them, as all we are all servants, in some process of liaison with the faults we most abhor and condemn other, for a reward of some sort or for the sake that despised neither man nor man吧, but had the high and the low, the dweller in the palace, and this is of the sum total of man's obligation to brotherly association in the home, the church, the in some sort, is his brother's keeper.

Rockefer, and others, because are tainted, are the fruits of dishonest, indirectly make the world better; as if the muddy was instantly returning to the mountains to be purified again to the valleys. Writing in our esteemed com-mun of Cincinnati, Mrs. Sarah G. Jones for the church in the following frank manner: "The long age at a church rally a minister must be a keeper at the shrine hall, claiming that it would be encouragement which was毁 in this matter. The minister was毁 in this matter. The church is a public institution whose religion of God, where is the church in the Scriptures of Christ in the man who kept the dance hall may not have been in his effort to assist in a good cause that he has which, to my mind, should have been encouraged. It is not been made to the church, the money must have been too, too, the minister's attitude would have a tendency to drive their comments to the very people who read of preaching Christ and Him crucified, they spend the people about that or this vile dance, game or play, and all of the agencies that roth the people, or in their revenues from the fallen mass the church have to reach and relieve in their distress in the last and acceptable that they should be the most lifelong of the discards who fall by the wayside. As long as "who burn the candle at both ends" in "goin' those of the church and charitable organizations, I money, they need them; so then, the agencies that they, and make them criminals or dependents, show for their relief through the church and the such agree with Mrs. Sarah G. Jones in her breast is a living and bothersome one for those choosiness after and providing for the needy and des What is tainted money? This question has been raised by all sorts of people and organizations, some of which are not without taints of some sort of their own, and by church and benevolent organizations that are, by the irony of their religion, taints of the saints who come out from among the sinners and strive to live better lives than they inherit and to encourage others to do it. They are the salt of the earth, who dedicate their lives and material substance, or give freely of them, that others may, in their wayward and fallen conditions, from which they seem not to be able to free themselves, have some of the comforts that the lowest of the human family crave under most circumstances and at some stage of their existence. A kind word, a crust of bread; given at the opportunity time, the time of need, is of the charity that makes the world not a leastly lump of selfishness, but something of the brotherhood that does not obtain with what we call dumb creatures, who have all things in common, as the Socialists want it, and therefore nothing as individuals, as persons—neither registered parentage and names, or character or property, to be protected by the owner and by laws enacted, for that purpose. Some of the best and wisest of people, often are mistaken in the thing they are and how best to serve themselves, simply because they are mistaken in the sort of things their neighbors are and how best to serve them, as they would be served; for, after all, we are all servants, in some process of life's ravel, gamble, more or less tainted with the faults we most abhor and condemn in others; servants one to another, for a reward of some sort or for the sake of charity, and in His name, who despised neither rich man nor beggar, but a brother's feeling for them all, the high and the low, the dweller in the palace and the convict on the prison. And this is of the sum total of man's obligation to man, the highest philosophy of brotherhood association in the home, the church, the State or the nation, that each, in some sort, is his brother's keeper. The saloons and all of the agencies that robi the people, or undermine their morals, derive their revenues from the fallen mass the church and charitable organizations have to reach and relieve in their distress in the last analysis, and it is therefore, just and acceptable that they should be the most liberal givers for the assistance of the disarrivals who fall by the wayside. As long as the health and money last those "who burn the candle at both ends" in "going the face that kills," have no need of the church and charitable organizations, but when these fail, health and money, they need them so then, the agencies that rob them of health and money, and make them criminals or dependents, should be the most liberal contributors for their relief through the church and the charitable organizations. We very much agree with Mrs. Sarah G. Jones in her broad treatment of the question, which is a living and lothersome one for those charged with the high service of looking after and providing for the needy' and destitute members of society. race, and they are responsible for putting the private detective agency on the case. We have already called attention to the outrages methods of William J. Burns, who has declared the innocence of Frank, although under indictment, and the guilt of Conley, although not under indictment, and his general arrangement and denunciation of the court and police methods of Atlanta a course of conduct which could not fail to prejudice hopelessly the case of Frank, and, if it failed, to discredit forever the already who has enjoyed such a national reputation. The latter cadency has come upon Mr. Burns, who admitted when Judge Hill demanded his evidence against Conley, that he had none, not already in the possession of the Court. When he was in Marietta recently, Bur. and his assistant were mobilled and run out by infuriated citizens of Mary Phantas's home town, and the Atlanta authorities threaten to take away from him his license to conduct a detective agency in Georgia. On the other hand, there are some Negroes who think that the fate of James Conley is a race matter, and action has been raised by all sorts of people, not without taints of some sort of their organizations that are, by the irony of their out from among the sinners and strive to encourage others to do it. They have the lives and material substance, or give freeward and fallen conditions, from which selves have some of the comforts that the most circumstances and at some stage on at the opportunity time, the time of need, not a beastly taint of selfishness, but some obtain with what we call dumb creature. Socialists want it, and therefore nothing stained parentage and names, or character and by laws enacted, for that purpose people often are mistaken in the thing they simply because they are mistaken in the show best to serve them, as they would be, in some process of life's ravel, gamble most abor and condemn in others; in some sort or for the sake of charity, and some nor beggar, had a brother's feel the dweller in the palace and the convict of man's obligation to man, the highest the home, the church, the State or the brother's keeper. what is saint without taint? Some people money from corporations, or rich men like kefeller, and others, because they like cuisers of dishonest, indirect methods, and as if the muddy waters of the valleys to be purified by filtration be writing in our esteemed contemporary. The arah G. Jones discusses the tainted money following frank manner: a rally minister refused to accept a contribution that it would be encouraging people in sanction in this matter. is a public institution whose chief aim should be the录cripts of Christ being unearthable, her hall may not have been intensely worked on in a good cause that he had a good thought have been encouraged.

As long as the health at both ends in "going the place that charitable organizations, but when these so then, the agencies that rob them of inmals or dependents, should be the most high the church and the charitable or arah G. Jones in her broad treatment of persons one for those charged with the king for the needy and destitute members that his conviction of the crime would be a reflection upon their race. We do not regard the matter in any such light; nor should the Jews do so. Justice in this country has too long followed the color line. It is not for the Jew or the Negro to feel responsibility for every rascally member of his race who gets into the hands of the law. It is right and obligatory in many cases, where there is a possibility that injustice will be done the individual concerned, that his race should see to it that he has competent lawyers to protect his interests, and to appeal the case to the last resort as long as justice is denied by an inferior court. But what should be done to protect the individual should in no instance be done to shield the criminal. When it is all over, to charge the criminal and the crime against his race, when the law should not regard color or race nor have respect for such, is out of the question, as a matter of justice to the race. We do not do any such, thing in the thousand and one cases of alleged white persons charged and convicted of crime every day; then why should it be done in the name of the Jury, or the Negro in Atlanta or Georgia, or other place? It should not be done. APPAIRA. In how far should a man acquaint his wife with his business affairs? That little question has led more people to the court, house than any other, except the other man or woman in the case, in the divorce branch or criminal branch of it; and it is as yet unsettled as the average relations in the home of 'the man and the wife'. Some people maintain that a man should tell his wife all about his business, while others maintain that he should tell her nothing. Which is the better way? True it is, every woman should be made acquainted with her husband's affairs as far as they relate to her interests, if no further, so that she may not be imposed upon in the event of his death or other disqualification, but not that she should be in a position to interfere in his business one way or another, unless she have an acquired interest in it not nominated in the marriage contract. Most women prefer to devote all of their time and energy to the home work, leaving their husbands free to attend to the provision for the home work and for her and their children. What Judge Garretson of the Queens County Supreme Court said to the grand jury recently will apply to the question in most of its phases. He said: "A Grand Juror ought to have matters which occur in the Grand Jury room so securely locked in his breast that even his wife could not permeate him, to give them away, and yet there are some of our good brethren who think that they may talk with neighbors have reason to believe sometimes some of these good brethren think that the particular confidence which ought to prevail in the marital relation allows a Grand Juror to converse with his wife concerning the business than is before the Grand Jury. "There is all reason why a man ought to frank in his home life and in his discussion with his wife, because there is no obligation that he should do with matters before the Grand Jury." We have known doctors and lawyers and preachers who would discuss the confidence of their patients, clients and members with chance callers, with as much freedom as if they were public instead of personal and professional matters, and we are sure that they would talk as freely with the female members of their homes about them, so that in the end there would not be the least privacy all the people in a given set or neighborhood knowing all about them. Tragedies grow out of such gossip as follow such disclosures, and heartaches that a long life does not cure. What a person, man or woman, should keep to himself or tell to others, is one of the most delicate questions in the relations of man and wife and of their neighbors. THE CIVIL WAR IN COLORADO The closed labor, shop and the open labor shop, over which labor and capital have waged so many and relentless wars during the past half century—that is, the right of employers of labor to hire their help and run their business, without dictation or oversight of the organized labor unions, called the open shop, and the right of trade unions to control the business as far as employing and directing help are concerned, called the closed shop—has reached a point where violence is employed on both sides in any controversy that may arise between them, regardless of the interests and welfare of the community at large. It is not only that way in the United States, but everywhere on the civilized earth, as labor strikes have become common in, Australia, Asia Africa, Europe and the Americas. The desire of labor unions to get as much for as little and of employers to do the same, appears to be the trouble everywhere; with the added demand of organized labor that only its members shall be employed in a given work, and their wages, hours of work, and superintendence shall be, in the hands of the labor union, and not in the hands of the employers, who get and finance the work, and in the case of manufacturers, find a market for the products of the labor. We are not opposed to the principle of organized labor, although the practice is to exclude Negro laborers from the benefits, secured, how ever the theory to the contrary may be insisted upon to save their faces; but we are opposed to the principle of turning over the management of any given business to outsiders who have only a wage interest at stake, and who seek by arbitrary rules, coercion and violence to fix and regulate the wage rate, as well as to deny the right to work to that large body of laborers who may, not desire to subject themselves to the tyrannous rules and regulations of labor unions, or who may be arbitrarily, excluded from membership in such unions on accounts of race, color, or other artificial disqualification. The strike of the miners in Colorado, which has risen to the dignity of open war against the authority of the United States, the State of Colorado having become unable to control it, and the petty annoyances to which Mr. Rocke- fellow- and other- capitalists concerned have been subjected by labor union sympathizers, are only phases of the conflict between capital and labor that metace the peace of the Nation, and which legislation has so far failed adequately to control within bounds of decency and of safety to all of the interests involved; including the public interests. Gov. Cole Blanco of South Carolina has only 50 of the 300 delegates representing 44 counties, that will meet in State convention May 20, but he expects to win the United States Senate representing August 19, from Mr. E. D. Smith, the present incumbent. Blanco believes in himself, and that is half the victory for any man in what-ever he put heart on an hand, and scorned and scorned and politicians as Gov. Because so often succeed in the South. PORTSMOUTH N H The social-committee of the Christian Endeavor Society was entertained at tea last, Sunday afternoon by President W. T.

THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1914 C.M.E. CHURCH GENERAL CONFERENCE IN SESSION BISHOP STEWART ON TRIAL Church Will Likely Form Closer Affiliation with White M. E. Church, South, New Bishops to be Elected. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE St. Louis, Mo. May 12—With more than four hundred delegates, seven bishops and general officers galore, the General Conference, thirteenth in number, of the colored. Methodist Episcopal Church in America, is in session in St. Louis. The Conference opened Tuesday, May 5 in Lake Tabernacle in Fairfax avenue with Bishops Lane; Holsey, Williams Cottrell, Phillips, Jamison and Stewart present. General officers present are Editor Cobb of the Christian Inder Dr. J. C. Martin, head of the Book Concern; Secretary, Haygood of the Missionary Department; Secretary McKinney of the Church Extension Department; Dr. A. R Calhoun, Secretary of the Epworth League. The Conference sermon was delivered by the Rt. Rev R. S. Williams of Georgia, who also read the quadrennial address of the college of bishops. The largest general meeting in all the forty years' history of the C. M. E. Church, much legislation is expected before adjournment, although not much towards that end has been done, mainly because the Conference has given over its time almost entirely to the case of Bishop Stewart of Alabama, who faces charges growing out of the handling of certain works in the Alabama church. This church has been notably free from charges and counter charges such as mark other, colored organizations and the trying bishops is a new experience. Quadrennial Address Able Paper. The quadrennial address of the bishops was a remarkable paper. It abounds in sober counsel and in recommendations calculated to steady the progress of the denomination. The C. M. E. Church was set aside by the M. E. Church, South, in 1870. Then there were 68,000 members and two bishops. The statistics show that there are now more than 300,000 members, with a half dozen departments, seven bishops, nine schools and colleges with 3,500 students enrolled. Two of the most prominent institutions are Lane College at Jackson, Tenn, and Paine College at Augusta, Ga. The church will likely follow out the suggestion of the bishops that a closer association he had with the M. E. Church, South, accepting, the proffer of the parent body to be of material help in noticing all the affairs of Colored Methodism. This indicates that the old talk of the C. M. E. Church being swallowed up by some other church organization is nothing, but talk. The religious leaders of the white South are grasping the opportunity for Christian service offered among the colored people of the South. The report of Dr. J. C. Martin, head of the publishing house, shows that a colored printing concern can revert to the credit Dr. Martin is a financial genius having given up the presidency of the church bank at Memphis to take up the duties of Book Agent of his denomination. When he took over the publishing house it was in debt. Afted two years the debts are paid, with $18,000 to the good Several new bishops are to be elected. More than likely the Rev. Dr. X C. Claves of South Carolina and Editor A. J. Cobb of the Christian Index will be advanced. Dr. Martin has not announced his candidacy. The supporters of Dr. R. A. Carter of Georgia are sanguine of his promotion while, Dr. Rufus Stout of Arkansas and Dr. G. W. Mills of Louisiana are developing strength. There is no opposition to the re-election of Dr. Martin tld the management of the publishing house or Dr. Calhoun to the secretaryship of the Epworth League. It is very likely that the publishing house will be removed from Jackson, Tenn. to Memphis. The conference officials as elected by the delegates are Dr. X. C. Cleaves, Dr. M. J. Brinson, George S. Goodman and William Bobo, secretaries of Roosevelt Cockling Simmons, official contests editor; Dr. S. J. Elliott, grand marshal. PATERSON, N. L PARKER, N. J.—Ex-District Grand Master N.

Harper Club in Memorial Hall was eminently successful, financially and socially. Nearly two hundred people attended. The concert part, which was rendered by Ms. and Mrs. Shirley Liggins, was highly entertaining. The audience was unstiming in its compliments to the couple. The purpose of this function was to raise means toward a free bed in the Springfield hospital. This is probably the first effort on the part of any of the local colored fraternal organizations to do anything to this effect. Mrs. Jas. Higgins, Miss Ethel Ballard and others managed the entertainment. On last Wednesday evening the Young Men's Club of the St. John's Church filled their meeting room to hear an address by Dr. Bruce T.
