CHARGES OF DISCRIMINATION IN THE PHILIPPINES INVESTIGATED
Secretary of War Garrison Promptly Orders Probing of Conditions Told of in The Age.

"We are being treated like dogs, but as long as we are here we will stand it and serve our flag."
This was the final phrase in a letter from Corregidor, Cavite, Philippine Islands, written by a soldier of the 24th infantry, United States Army, and published in THE AGE, issue of December 18, 1913. The letter related that soldiers of the 24th infantry, stationed in the Philippines, were treated like slaves; that they were compelled to work in the rain, loading and unloading stuff and shovelling rocks while standing in water up to their shoe tops; that the meals had to be eaten in the rain; that water flooded their tents and ran under the beds; that no facilities were given for drying wet clothes and that the men were compelled to get in bed and cover up to dry or wait until the sun came out; that the soldiers had to work on Sundays; that in addition to their own work they were compelled to do the work of the white soldiers; that the launch Muley from Manila brought supplies of chickens, eggs and fruit for the white soldiers which the Negro soldiers had to unload, but that the launch brought no supplies for the colored soldiers; that the moving picture shows, the post exchange and reading rooms were places in which the colored soldiers were not wanted; that Gen. Bell and others of the white officers did not like the men and that there was mistreatment and discrimination all along the line.

· The editor of THE ACE addressed a
letter to Lindley M. Garrison, Secretary of
War, enclosing the entire article as
published, and requested that an investigation
of the alleged discriminations against Negro soldiers in the Philippines be made. The belief was expressed that Secretary Garrison, regarded as one of the broad-minded officials of the Wilson administration, would order a thorough investigation of the serious charges against the white officers of the regiment. Fred R. Moore, editor of THE ACE, is in receipt of a letter from the Secretary of War, under date of June 1, with a report of the investigation as conducted by his orders, and including a copy of orders issued by his direction by General Leonard Wood, Chief of Staff of the army, to the Adjutant General.

Dear Sir:—Referring to your letter of December 20th last, to the Secretary of War, including in the publication in your mail an alleging discrimination of treatment against members of the 24th Infantry, stationed in the Philippines.
The matters complained of in your letter have been fully investigated and reported upon as follows:
A detachment of six companies, 24th Infantry, was sent to Correidor Island of the Philippines from May 22, 1813, June 20, 1813, and were added to the permanent garrison of that place. This was at the beginning of the rainy season, when they began the destruction of nipa quarters for this detachment, and the work continued through the rainy season and part of the dry season. The work of building nipa quarters, when necessary to protect themselves with shelter, was continued. It is instructive the officers of the detachment were present and working at times with their men, sharing the stable camp life, the same shelter and food. The camp was uncomfortably the rains, as any camp will be every effort was made to make

Secretary of War
The Secretary of War is convinced that for the best interests of the service, the use of all outside influence to secure any sort of preferment or consideration should be done away with. There are orders to this effect, but they have not always been obeyed. The result of the use of outside influence, if it is effective, is to cause action to be founded not upon justice and right, fairness and equity, but to make it dependent upon the amount and quality of outside influence that could be brought to bear. Outside influence should result in indirecting the action, it simply takes up (Continued on Page 2).

Pastor, just from Conference Removes Leaders and Others from Office.
H. H. Dennis Ascribes as Possible Remons for His Removal the Fact that He Opposed Certain Policies of the Paster and Refused to Peltition for His Return
Last Sunday afternoon, just before serving communion to the congregation of Bethel A. M. E. Church, 60 West 132d street, the Rev. B. W. Arnett, pastor, announced the removal of a number of class leaders and others from office. Among those removed were H. H. Dennis, leader of class 14; R. R. Dennis, leader of class 4; S. B. Broughton, leader of class 7, and Mr. Pinckney, leader of pastor's class. Others deposed were Mrs. Sadie Battle, of the board of stewardesses, and Mr. Ramsey, of the board of stewards.
It is said that no reason was given by, the pastor for removing these persons from office, and it is thought that considerable dissatisfaction will follow the action. H. H. and R. R. Dennis. Mrs. Sadie Battle and Mr. Ramsey had their respective positions in the neighborhood of five years; Mr. Pinckney had served about six years, while S. B. Broughton had been a class leader for thirty years.
H. H. Dennis, when seen, said that the announcement was made by the pastor just prior to serving the communion, and no explanation was given. In his case, Mr. Dennis said, there were two things to which he might ascribe the action. One was his opposition, in a church meeting in the old church in West 25th street in the town, adding additional debt of $1,700 on the people. The other was his refusal to sign a petition presented by one of the pastor's friends, asking the return of the Rev. Mr. Arnott as pastor. Mr. Dennis said he gave as his reason for declining the fact that he had been a member of Bethel for thirty nine years, during which time he had seen pastors and pastors go, but he had never signed a petition for any to come, or go. Mr. Dennis said that he was threatened at the time and told his name would be given to the bishop as an opponent to the pastor.
Last Sunday was the pastor's first Sunday with the church after returning from the annual conference which was held at Albany.

HOWARD GRADUATE
WINS ESSAY CONTEST
Special to The New York Age.
RONNICK, V2, June 8—In a competitive essay contest conducted under the auspices of the New York Medical Journal, on the subject "The Treatment of Alcoholic Cirrhosis of the Liver." Dr. Sylburn (C. Downing of Ronneck, Va.) was awarded first prize of $25 in gold by the judges over a host of other contestants, mostly white. The article appeared in the issue of the "Journal" of June 6. Dr. Downing is a recent graduate of Howard Medical College having also served as interne at Freedman's Hospital.
SOLDIERS WILL NOT REENLIST.
Advice from The Army correspondent with the 25th Infantry, stationed at Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, Hawaii Territory, give the information that a large number of the men whose term of enlistment expires in November will not reenlist. The majority of the men will sail on the November transport for the United States, notwithstanding that many inducements have been offered to secure their reenlistment.
Among those, whose terms of service will expire are J. Henry Bentley, the regimental mail carrier, Schley C. Williamson, shortstop on the regimental team, and J. G. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Howard, who have made themselves popular with all by the hospitality of their home, will remain in Honolulu, making that city their future home. Williamson was formerly a student at Morris Brown College, Altaalta, Ga., and will return, and Bentley will go to Cleveland, Ohio, to reside.
LEVY LAW WILL BE EN-
FORCED BY CARMODY Hotel proprietors in the State of New York who advertise that only certain races will be accommodated in their hotels will be prosecuted by the District Attorney of the county in which the hotel is located. This is in accordance with instructions issued by Attorney General Carmody and is in keeping with the provisions of the Levy civil rights law passed last year, which law makes an advertisement indicating that certain classes and races will be excluded constitute the same crime as the actual exclusion.
Attorney General: Carmody issued these instructions after some of the hotels advertised, that only Gentiles would be accommodated. He declares that he will turn over every case of exclusion or advertisement indicating that certain races will be excluded to the District Attorney's of the counties where the hotels violating the law are located.
BALTIMORE, June 10—Owing to the refusal of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company to allow a colored passenger descent accommodations for getting his meals, the Koenigen Luise said from here Monday afternoon without our Carl J. Murphy as one of its passengers for Bremen. Mr. Murphy, who is an instructor in German in Howard University, Washington, has planned to study in one of the German universities during the summer.
He bought a ticket from the local agents of the company, but was later intermixed that he would not be allowed to eat in the main dining room, but would have to be contented with eating in the smoking room. He immediately surrendered his ticket and got his money back. He has secured passage for Germany on a steamer leaving New York City.
Mr. Murphy is a native of this city and was educated in the Colored High School, Howard University and Harvard University, receiving the degree of master of arts from the latter institution last June. He is a son of John H. Murphy, publisher of the Baltimore Irore-American Ledger.

WHITE LANDLORDS MAKE OBJECTION TO CHURCH
Petition to New York Presbytery to Stop St. James Removal to Harlem
COMMITTEE FAVORS PLAN
John M. Royall Represents St. James and Refutes Arguments of White Opposers Showing Real Causes of Depreciation — Compares Harlem Values with Values in White Neighborhoods.
The anticipated removal to Harlem of the St. James Presbyterian Church precipitated a bitter fight Monday in the spring meeting of the New York Presbytery, now holding in this city.
The congregation of St. James decided to sell the present property at 157 West 51 street, for which an offer of $43,000 has been made. The New York Presbytery was asked to add $40,000 to this amount, giving Dr. W. R. Lawton and his coworkers $83,000 with which to go into Harlem and build a handsome Presbyterian church for the congregation. Officers of the church extension board have attended meetings at St. James and conducted news expressed. These officers agreed to recommend to the Presbytery the wisdom of extending the usefulness of the church by making it possible for the congregation of St. James to move to Harlem. The $40,000 was to come out of the John S. Kennedy Fund.
When the matter was brought up Monday, a discussion lasting for two hours, and rivaling in bitterness the many debates of the Presbytery on the heresy and unsound faith of Union Seminary graduates, ensued. The leaders who desired to help the colored church met determined opposition. The argument was advanced that there are but 28,000 Negroes in Harlem but that there are seven colored churches already there, besides eleven other preaching places. And besides the opposition exclaimed, why give all that money to Negroes when white churches need it.
Real Estate Conditions
John M. Royall, one of the leading members of St. James, and a large real estate operator, represented the interests of the church and made a presentation of facts in the case. His address was an exhaustive resume of conditions in Harlem and exhibited dreads for depreciation in renal and property values in other sections besides Harlem. Mr. Royall said in part.
The fact that members of St. James Presbyterian Church are colored people and are located principally in Harlem we do not try to excuse or deny. But that its members or the colored people generally have the sole or most effective cause of depreciation in real estate values in the West Harlem which has affected Harlem values in the colored brother's presence those. From 1902 to 1965 real estate speculative (ever selzed) all of New York (Continued on Page 5.)

CONSIDERED BY BANKS
John Lewis Morris, Secretary of the Treasury for Liberia, and Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general to the United, States, arrived in New York City. Wednesday for a conference with representatives of the National City Bank and the Kuhn-Loeb Company regarding an agreement upon disputed points of the Liberian funding loan of $1,200,000. This loan was floated in 1911 and Liberia feels it is said, that it has been-humiliated by some of the conditions imposed by the representatives of the holders of the loan.
Reed Paige Clark was named by the United States as receiver of customs during the life of the loan. One of the first points wherein he and the Liberian government differed was as to his paying the Liberian frontier guards out of the customs duties. The Liberians contended that they should have the privilege of paying its own forces, and this claim was allowed. There are other disputed points, however, which have been made known to Secretary of State Bryan and others directly interested.
On Thursday, June 11, Secretary Morris and Consul General Lyon will take up with the interests that floated the loan the disputed points. Both gentlemen were in Washington Monday, when they hold conferences with Counselor Johnson of the State Department, Third Assistant Secretary of State Phillips and Paul M. Warburg of Kohn-LeoB Company. Mr. Warburg, it is said, protested strongly against, newspaper reports that his firm complained a financial dictatorship for Liberia. This government has given its moral sanction to the loan of 1911 and whatever is done will have the final say in shaping the policy for its collection and liquidation.
Mr. Morris will remain in the city until Sunday or Monday, but Dr. Lyon will leave for his home in Baltimore Friday night. The gentlemen will be guests of honor at a dinner given by Philip A. Payton Thursday night.

SOUTHERN WHITE MEN IN CONTROL
Negro-bating Georgian Says South Is in Saddle and Will Rule Country AGAINST PEONAGE LAW Tom Felder, Candidate for U.S. Senate, Appeals to Race Prejudice to Gain Support.
Felder [Declares That McAdoo, a Native Georgian, Issued Order for the Segregation of the Negroes in the Treasury Department—Says Negro S. Inherently Unfit for Authority.
AMERICUS, Ga., June 9—The viewpoint of the Southern white man as regards the administration of President Wilson, was clearly and candidly set forth by Thomas S. Felder, of Macon, candidate in the Democratic primaries for the United States Senate to succeed the late Senator Bacon, in his speech here on June 4.
Feder is a Negro-hating lawyer who has gone out of his way more than once to show his race enmity and prejudice, and on one occasion was most severely reprimanded and fined by Judge Speer in the United Court of the Southern District of Georgia for continuously and offensively using the word "nigger" in a peanage case before that court.
In his speeches in this campaign Felder has put himself squarely on record as favoring the repeal of the present peonage law, which makes it possible for the rural Negro to have some personal liberty. He also decharges his intention, if elected, to work for the repeal of the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution. Felder's opponents in the senatorial campaign are the present governor, John M. Slaton, a fair minded man, who is willing to give every man a chance, and Tom Hardwick, congressman from the tenth congressional district, who is, if it is possible, a more bitter enemy to the Negro than Felder.
Want No Negro Office Holdors.
Feldar is opposed to the holding of any office by a Negro, and makes no scenes of his hope that the Negro in all sections of the country will be placed in the same condition as in Georgia.
In his speech last Thursday, he said:
For the first time in more than 30 years, a southern man sits in the White House. Southern men, as cabinet officers, are his closest counsellors. In both houses of the national congress southern men occupy positions of prominence and power. The Soupth which was hers before the war/between the states.
The southern white man insists with all the fervor of his being that our common country is a white man's countryman, a white man's white open, and I want to say here that I have elected to the United States senate, I will oppose to the utmost of my powers, in committee, upon the floor of the senate and elsewhere, the appointment of a Negro to any public officer of responsibility or power, reckoning for the duties of the senate. While practically all of the Negroes of this country are inherently and fundamentally unit to exercise either authority or discretion, the exclusion from public office of even the exceptional Negro is with me, a racial distinction. Since the close of the civil war, Washington City has been considered, the Negro's "Harriad on Earth." In the street cars of Washington, Negro men sit side by side with white women. In all of the great departments of our country, the employees are required to work with the Negro employees, and in many other ways are forced into ultimate association with them. This condition permitting no distinction between the white and Negro employees of the government has existed continually since the turn of the century, and in this grand old commonwealth of Georgia, recently issued a sweeping order for the segregation of the races in the treasury department. For this action he has been bitterly assailed by leading journeymen, born in this grand old commonwealth of Georgia that I am elected United States senator. I shall always be found helping to hold up the hands of our fearless secretary, and shall at all times exert my strongest efforts to the nation's capital on the same plane with his brother in Georgia.
THREE BULLETS FAIL
TO PENETRATE SKULL.
John J. Patton, living at 101 Forty-eighth street, Corona, L. L., while suffering from nervous trouble, attempted to commit suicide by fireing three bullets into his head from a cellulite revolver. Fortunately the shots were staining and instead of penetrating the skull the bullets lodged under the scalp.
He was taken to the Flushing Hospital and the doctors removed the bullets. Patton is fifty years old.
TURNED DOWN BY BISHOP
At the annual conference of the A.M. E, Church held in Albany, N. Y., Mission of St. Simon of Cyrene, established by the Rev. Rewrdy R. Cangom at 341 West 40th street, was refused admission to the conference by Bishop Evans Tyre, although the money for connectional work about $90, was not returned to the mission.
The mission was established, by Dr. Ransom August 24, 1913, after he had consulted with the presiding elder, the Rev. A. R. Cooper, with the Rev. B. W. Arnott, apostor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, and an assistant to the whosoquard quarter conference Dr. Ransom, a general officer of the church, had been assigned by the bishop. All of those interests, gave consent to the establishing of the mission.
The regular establishment of the mission occurred December 28, 1913, when the presiding elder, Dr. Cooper, officiated and organized the mission into a part of the annual conference work, apart from the annual conference showed 48 converts, 81 monombs, and about $300 in treasury as a nucleus for the securing of a house of worship. In addition the mission sent up about $90 for connection work.
Dr. Ransom, when asked by a representative of the Age, as to the reason for the number of converts, more than that Bishop Tyre ruled that no general officer had ever organized a mission before and he was afraid he, the bishop, would be ritified if he received it. The bishop declined to receive it and said it would go under the missionary department. How this can be remains to be seen, since the missionary department under the bishop and is supposed to give its time to the handling of the foreign mission work.
Dr. Ransom refused to criticize the act of the bishop and will continue the work. It would seem that this congregation, recorded in the book of the bishop, has been left without a tangible connection with any, part of the A. M. E. Church work.
DEGREE CONFERRED ON ,
ST PHILIP'S RECTOR

Bishop, rector of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, who was given the degree of doctor of divinity by Lincoln' University at its recent commencement, was presented with the hood by the Rev. William A.

SPLIT CONVENTION
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE
BALMSTER, Md., June 10—When the Colored Baptist Convention opened its annual session at Ebenezer Baptist Church Wednesday, June 10, a mild sensation was created when President J. H. Taylor, Vice-President Moses Kyle, Secretary Robert D. Johnson, the Rev. William Winston, president of Clayton-Williams University, and others, handed in their resignations as members, of the convention. A prelude to the session occurred Monday when the gentlemen resigned as members of the Colored Baptist Mission Working. A new meeting is scheduled to organize next Monday, and rumors of another-Baptist State convention and a new school conducted by colored Baptists are in the air. There are already three Baptist ministerial meetings and three conventions with headquarters in this city.
The seceding ministers are said to be tired of what some of them call the disposition of the Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, the nestor of colored Baptists in Maryland, to dominate things in the concession and the ministerial meeting to which he belongs. It may be added that the collections of the convention now in session will be about half of what it was last year, since some of the strongest churches have withdrawn.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 10.—Claiming that he was hounded by politicians of Philadelphia, naming James A. Carey, James' Fealy and Samuel Mahoney of the 5th ward, and sent to Norristown Insane Asylum, to keep him from making exposure of graft and crookedness, Edward Beckham of Spartanburg, S. C., said to be a chemist, is suing the city of Philadelphia for $501,000.
Beckham lived at 505 and 531 Lomard street and claims to have been about to make certain revelations concerning graft conditions when he was thrown into an asylum. He claims to have anticipated the discovery of electrons, the smallest known particles of matter, but that the manuscript treating of his discovery was lost during his incarceration. Before he could prepare another treatise Lodge, the Englishman, published his theories. Beckham's bill of damages includes six items of $50,000 each, for loss of career; for loss of friends; wife and business; for defamation of character; for false imprisonment; for damage to future career because of record as a former asylum inmate; for loss of manuscript of work on chemistry. The odd $1,000 item is for loss of personal property.

BEATEN FOR UNFURLING
FLAG ON MEMORIAL DAY
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 3.—When
William Dwyer, a Negro, living on
Cabot street, displayed his patriotism by
unfurling an American flag at his home
on Memorial Day, two white men, David
Keith and Frank McShane, passing by,
questioned his right to do so.

Church's American Band, which is playing at Crescent Park this summer, has the only colored bass drum as far as it's known in this country who plays exclusively with an organization of twenty-five white men. William F. Pettiford, although a young man, born in Providence, R. I., has that honor, and besides belonging to the local white musicians' union is very popular with his fellow associates, including the leader, Bowen R. Church, cornetist, and Claude W. Sparay, a distinguished trombonist and a member of the band. So far Mr. Pettiford has surpassed the expectations of Mr. Church as a player.

the time and attention (page 1). Department, all of which should be devoted to the innumerable-duties awaiting attention.
From every standpoint, therefore, it is desirable that a thorough, impartial and equitable consideration and determination be given every important question and situation that arises. To this end, the Secretary is destruct of having all concerned informed of his directions in this respect. He wishes all complaints of injustice or unfair treatment, or wrongdoing or unfair treatment, listened to with care; investigated in the partial mind, and decided justly. This will result in very few cases remaining in which there is any legitimate cause of complaint; but it is his wish that all such should be so treated as the capable of being brought to him for these cases, the way of appeal must be left absolutely free and open.
In furtherance of this general policy, the Secretary of War directs that the attention of commanding generals of the Army be directed to manning officers of all grades throughout the service, be invited to the necessity for giving most careful heed to all complaints which reach them from subordinates. While the forwarding generals are not required, it is most important that well founded complaints should be thor-

oughtly investigated, and redress promptly given, where the evidence warrants it, it is connected, the Secretary of War desires it to be clearly understood that all applicants for redress, whatever their rank or station, have full authority to appeal to the Secretary of War in case they are convinced that the applicants have not resulted in justice being done them. All appeals will be submitted to their immediate commanding officer, and will be forwarded by him, to the Secretary of War, through military channels, together with all papers in the case.
While it is not desired to encourage the forwarding of trivial appeals, nor to permit the disregard of the prescribed channels of communication, it is intended to make possible an appeal to the Secretary to make cases where the appellant feels that justice has not been done him. Those making appeals must realize that they will be held strictly responsible for the statements made, which, if not found to be justified, must necessitate an inadequate disciplinary measures.
Commanding officers of all grades and inspectors are enjoined to give most careful consideration to complaints submitted to them, and whenever inspecting posts or commands to them, must ascertain whether or not any members of the personnel threat, especially those in confinement, have any complaint to make, and if so, promptly and thoroughly to investigate it, and correct, so far as may be in their power, any injustice which has been done.

THE NEGRO FARMER
A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers.
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."
DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON STATES:
The Tukegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publication, but some of the active officers of the institution are interested in its success and believe that it will not only accrue compensation will be given to the paper is backed by a strong organization and funds have been provided in advance to assure its publication. Those in active control of THE NEGRO FARMER have my entire confidence and good will.
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
The success of this project is assured because of the solid and sensible lines upon which it is being laid out.
All the capital stock has been subscribed for.
The subscription price is $1.00 a year and Subscriptions and Advertisements are invited. Clubbing rates with important Negro newspapers will be arranged for on a satisfactory basis. We are now ready to receive Subscriptions and Advertisements.

A LESSON LEARNED.
Villard learned a good lesson during his visit to the General Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, held recently in the non-military city of St. Louis. Introduced in a flattering speech by young Jacobs of Kansas City, whose oily tongue gave the orator plenty of rope, Mr. Villard proceeded along even lines, here pleading, here scolding, and now and then scoring the wicked policy of the Democratic party, the principles of which he and his "Evening Post" helped to saddle on the country in a moment of stupor when even a country becomes irresponsible in its behavior. Jumping the track, without blowing the whistle, Mr. Villard shot out for "the gospel of the Business League, land-owning, propaganda, patience with the South, and all that." But he missed the crow; not a feather; "drapped." The great audience sit-still, safe and steady in Lane Chapel and made no sign. At the conclusion of the speech, and on his way to catch a New York train, Mr. Villard remarked to his company that he believed the people did not take kindly, to his speech. In that he was half-right and half-wrong.
The lesson for Mr. Villard is this, that the great bulk of colored people, while admiring him for his zeal in their cause and in the wider cause of freedom and liberty, resent his backhanded licks at their greatest figure, the chief witness in their behalf before the court of public approval. "Straight on he goes, nor' stops to look, behind where 'not the hounds come buying at his hip" that's Dr. Washington! Can't Villard take us up without taking. Washington down? The people are asking that!
"OUR" KEYSTONE PROGRESS
SIVES.
Pennsylvania was, the only state of any, consequence that gave its electoral vote, to the Progressive party in 1912, and this was given as a compliment to Col. Roosevelt, the Progressive candidate for president, as much as a rebuke to certain abuses the Republican leaders had developed and encouraged, over the protest of good politicians who clamor and strive for "clean politics" all of the time, and never get it. The question, "Is there any such thing as clean politics," often flits like a lost spirit through the befuddled intellectuals of honest citizens, not only of Pennsylvania and New York, but of the nation.
No one in the country could have been more surprised than Col. Roosevelt that rock-fibbed Republican Pennsylvania should give him its electoral vote, and the surprise must have merged itself into a real
The proposed small loan banks scheme, formed last February as The Industrial Finance Corporation, reference to which was made in the editorial columns of THE AGE of the time, has been deserted by most of the original directors, some ten or number, including Vincent Astor, Andrew Carnegie, Julius Rosenwald of Chicago and Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, the financiers who had pledged the larger part of the $2,600,000 proposed capital.
Objection was made by the $2,000,000 preferred stockholders that they should have only voting equality with the $600,000 common stockholders, the contention being that the voting control should be on the basis of dollar for dollar. The preferred stock was held by Northern men and the common stock by Southern men. New men, it is said, will take the places of the retiring capitalists.
The chain of banks was intended to redeem wage earners from the exactions and tyranny of the loan sharks, by making small loans easy, at reasonable interest, on personal indorsement, on the model of the Morris banks, with quarter at Norfolk and doing business in some fifteen southern states. Mr. Arthur J. Morris of Norfolk became president of the Industrial Finance Corporation.
We notice in this relation that the Anglo-American Finance Corporation, headed by Mr. John Mitchell, after fitting out elaborate offices in Richmond and much heralding of coming and purpose, has not, as far as we have seen, begun business. Sometimes ago Mr. Mitchell stated to us that there was a hitch in the undertaking, but that ultim- Mr. Mitchell's plain, as far as we could get at it, was the business begun in earnest, of the Morris banks and the proposed Industrial Finance Corporation; that is, to reach the small colored depositor as well as borrower. That there is a field for the operation of such a chain of penny banks in the southern states is shown by the success of those at Birmingham, Ala., Nashville, Richmond, and other large centers of population; that they are more urgently needed in the small towns and agricultural centers, like Suffolk, Va., Elizabeth City, N. C., and the like, is obvious enough to those familiar with their conditions, in all of which places the whites have banks of their own and act upon the rule, in accommodation, common in the south: "Whites, first; then, Colored—if there is anything left." The colored people should reverse the rule by establishing, and maintaining their own banking system, such a splendid foundation of which they have already laid and the building upon.
shock when he found that he had received the electoral vote of only 4 of 48 states. Such shocks should teach wise statesmen to be modest and brazen politicians to be wary in dealing with their constituencies, but it seldom does. The leaders of the Republican and Progressive parties who lost all of the states but eight in 1912 are doing more loud talking and high claiming of everything at this time than their expectations, divided in half, justify. This is peculiarly true of them in New York and Pennsylvania, both of which states belong in Republican column; but are not now in it, any more than are New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maine.
Talking about party conditions in Pennsylvania, and the part "our" Progressives played in 1912, and may play in 1914, the Philadelphia Tribune says:
As has been stated in this paper many weeks ago, the success of Mr. Penrose will largely depend upon the attitude of the colored vote of the state toward him. At the last election many coloured voters have voted for the Kashmir ticket up to that time, on account of the leaders of that party failing to keep their pledges to them, either voted for the candidates on the Progressive ticket or those on the Democratic ticket, as a rebuke to these leaders. Mr. Penrose has been for many years the leader of the Republican party, and he calls this vote back to his party. It can be done, but it must be done in specific acts for the benefit of this class of voters and not in promises. Mr. Penrose has the opportunity of his political life to show his friendship of his colored constituents as on their will will largely demand whether the present session of Congress will accept or whether he shall remain a member of the United States Senate for an indefinite period.
What has been stated in reference to Mr. Penrose hears, with equal force upon the several congressmen from this city and of the state at large, who are great friends of the colored voter just prior to the election, and ignore him, or forget that he ever existed after it is over. The men are armed will be defeated. We are in a contest for the rights of a face and not for personal favorites.
The Republican leaders of all the Republican states, including New York, acted towards colored partisans before the disaster of 1912 in much the same way the Tribune says those of Pennsylvania acted. Have they learned anything in defeat to encourage them to reverse themselves towards their colored partisans? The battle to regain power in 1916 has begun, and we shall soon know.
HOW TO REMEDY POLICE CONDITIONS IN NEW YORK.
The second conviction and sentience of Charles Becker, a former lieutenant of police in New York, for instigating the cowardly murder of Gambler Rosenthal because he feared the gambler would "squail" on him and his crooked ways; with the execution of the four of the gunmen who died the shooting, uncovered some of the reprehensible doings of the "Strong Arm Squad," headed by Lieut. Becker, that did not include the cold blooded murder of Waverly Carter and the bad blood, created between the colored people and the police in the territory covered by the Strong Arm Squad.
Indeed, it seems to be the studied purpose of the police department and the daily newspapers of New York to conceal the real condition of affairs in strictly colored
residential districts brought about by methods of the police as much as by the conduct of "the toughs" among the colored people. The police make their own statement of disturbances; always in justification of their conduct, and the daily newspapers accept it and enlarge upon it. It is the business, and the duty of the police to maintain order and suppress violence, not to provoke them, and it is the business and duty of the daily newspapers to publish the truth of the news and not the falsehood of it; when they do otherwise the public welfare is endangered.
There should be a great mass meeting held in New York to denounce the recklessness of the police in colored districts and to petition Mayor Mitchel to institute a searching investigation of the whole subject, with a request that colored policemen and detectives be more generally assigned, to the colored districts. THE AGE helped to elect Mr. Mitchel mayor-of New York, and the colored republicans voted for him; he made them fair promises before the election, and he cannot with any good grace, now deny them the remedies we suggest to better the relations of the police and the colored residents of colored districts.
THE COST OF GOING TO COURT
A large part of, mankind are so built that they are not satisfied unless they are in trouble. If trouble does not seek them they seek it. He is not recorded any place that the person who sought trouble failed to find it. It would be very strange if it were otherwise. And people who have more time than labor on their hands, who prefer dishonest leisure to honest work, who block up street corners and "the loafers' resorts" that flourish everywhere to catch the pennies of those who "live by their wits," have more troubles with themselves, their neighbors and the police than other people.
The trouble seckers and finders are all familiar with the police and the criminal courts, and when they are not facing the judge and jury as prisoners in the dock they are doing it as spectators, interested in lookers of the proceedings, and in the accused, with a vague presentment that it will be their "turn next." The class of people, of the hopeless-social discords in the Northern and Western states, are always mostly white and near white persons, and seem never to be in their natural element out of the court room as prisoners or spectators. In the Southern states, on the other hand, such persons are, for the most part, black or near black.
Mr. Isaac Fisher, the editor of The Negro Farmer, tells the story of a fist fight between two colored farmers, that consumed a whole day of the court, of some twenty witnesses and some fifteen-innocent mules used for transporting the litigants, the whole costing some $200 in money. Mr. Fisher, "wonders" if it would, not have been wiser and cheaper for the fist cuffers if they had selected their pastor to settle the dispute for them, and we "wonder" so too. He says further:
There is also a type of colored women who have neither pride of race nor of sex, but who frequent court rooms.
where they hear much, that is not fit for any woman to hear. We wish to urge upon our people to teach their wives and daughters that it is disgraceful to be seen in such a place unless it is absolutely necessary to be there.
In lookers upon the police court room, in court houses, at Norfolk, Washington, Richmond, Atlanta, or other large Southern cities will show anyone, that Mr Fisher has not overdrawn the picture. Black and colored folks, of both sexes swarm in the seats for spectators and docks for prisoners. The sight is depressing and discouraging, and very costly to those immediately concerned. Even here in New York, when a colored person gets tangled with the police, a large part of the colored people of the district flock to "the station" with the police and prisoner and are "much in evidence" at the trial. How can this costly and degrading business be discouraged and minimized.

City. The great subway proposition at this time filled the people's minds and permeated the air. Real estate operators and speculators, conjured with imagination of becoming millionaires bought, freely in the West Harlem district, and about the proposed global stations. The investments made by the company chasers included, between $2,000 and $5,000. Men bought property on 30 and 60 days contracts, and sold their contracts not their property, for they never sold it, and made substantial profits. I have known buyers to pay $5,000 and $7,500 for tenements when showed a gross income of only $2,000 and $5,000 per year. On they went, the property giving no load to the old, old, old Enkierboe, property owners were standing still, on not investing but paying to hold very souls as to what the results would be.
This is unhealthy, speculative condition to impose the income from these newly acquired properties, when lately they begin to build. Straightway these one and all, commenced paying to their brokers, who, up to this time, and even like Moses, leading buyers in Cannan, I don't mind buying if you can get, Esau under confinement, purchase before the deal is sealed. We will purchase the trust market awake from a drugged and drunken stupor, struck, amidst sorrow and solleness settled beneath a season depreciated values. Speculating with and ancillary to the market, throw real operators and lawyers brought into existence many reckless bond and mortgage companies which really loaned more money on property than the entire value of same. Gentlemen, I have positive Harmon purchases, and to go to some of these bond and mortgage concerns and borrow from £100 to £5,000 more than they paid for the property, pocketing the difference. Is there any wonder then that this reckoning on assets is obliquely the West in district owners, like a spectre and fills his midnight dreams, with terror. Loans on mortgages by these unsurprulous companies commenced to fall due, and as they were the handmaid of an unsafe speculative enterprise, became because the owners could not pay them-off, and thus began the season of foreclosures. The new owners, in their dilemma, began to apply to the old, conservative trust companies and managers of large taxable tanks, only to be told that their积蓄 could not find the value to warrant the loan they, were asking; thus many fortunes were lost.
Admitted Negro Tenants
Facing financial destruction, the new property owners commenced to consult Moses (their brokers) and their cunning lawyers for help out of the difficulty. These two gentlemen (the broker and the lawyer) soon struck upon the bright idea of capitalizing race prejudice, and enticed the new owners, whose own advantage was to take them in alliance—a conspiracy to put colored tenants in their property, and thereby force their wealthier neighbors to buy from them. And on the other hand, a certain class of buyers, whose only conscience was money, were urged into the use of the same methods placing colored people in property so that they might buy the parcels adjoining of it in the block in feet in feet on the part of the whites to one-half of the values then obtaining.
Innocently enough the colored tenants, loosening for better accommodations stocked to Harlem and filled houses as fast as they were opened to them. This worked decidedly to the advantage of the property when it was a great deal of them either to dispose of their property or to get a healthier and more lucrative return from rents paid by colored tenants.
This operation continued with but little public objection until the early spring of 1915, when the Board of Trade in an effort to preserve their own failing business, hid behind a misleading theory, pretending to the property owners of Harlem that they were about values, and that with 500% of the property owners' own money they would restore or enhance this argument the Property owners' Improvement Corporation found birth.
Five hundred thousand dollars: The proposed capitalization of the Property Owners Improvement Corporation is all right and is enough to conduct inimminatory, public meetings and to more bagatelle money in the West Harlem. It is doubtful, gentlemen, if this amount of money could buy the equity of one West Harlem congested block, and it is discouraging, as well as pitiful, to lose no promise in sight for the expiration of this fund, save increase in the quality and county between the whites and the lacks in that great territory lying north of West 125th street. We all know the bill pending at Albany, providing for increased assessment on land and a reduction on taxes in fear that his effect upon mortgage market. No one knows at what time this law may become operative in the city of New York, and certainly the moment it does our mortgage market will be called upon to readjust itself. The tax rate on a full assessed value at which the property will over the county, depress and depreciate real estate values in the city of New York. Harlem not excluded.
Depreciation in Downtown Values.
For our own edification, let us ask ourselves a few questions. Who depresses values around the great Pennsylvania station? What depreciation of value has St. James brought to his street? Why are the stores and buildings between and all streets so dark? And where are your buyers for that property? Has the color question anything to do with the business property on Grand and Mercury streets and Broadway between Grand and 14th streets, where have decreased one-half and more in Harlem the rents of colored people been swamped? West 55d street between and 55th avenues now occupied by colored people maintain substantial values on private houses to-day and sell for $15,000 to $18,000, when formerly they sold for $9,000 to $10,000, that the property around and about the Pennsylvania station, attached to colored people when values in the neighborhood reached their zenith.
the more skince at Harlem and I, am
the one you know that gen-
neces to the West Harlem district; are
also much larger return to own-
ers-than they formerly brought when occupied with white tenants? Do you known the property is more fully rented? Do you know that there is not today three per cent. of vacancies in all the tenement properties occupied by colored people in Harlem? Are you aware of the fact that Negroes are buying property in Harlem? I live and one told you that the colored people are based about ten cent. of the tenement, which they live? And at the lowest calculation, about forty per cent. of all the private houses occupied by them?
I have named to you some of the fundamental reasons for the depreciation of real estate values in New York City, and particularly in Harlem. This lamentable depreciation must be met and combatted with fundamental methods of solution and not with race prejudice and sediment. The color people are in Harlem to work and they are coming each year by the thousands. St. James is needed in Harlem to help absorb this kindred people and to assist in the readjustment of their living to suit the new condition. Churches of every description, except of the Presbyterian faith, have found a home in Harlem. And St. James, being in West 51st street, is removed from her people and members of the community in Harlem. St. James can and will do institutional work, and in a thousand different ways give a larger and more efficient service.
White Church Opposes Move.
Opposition to the movement emanated from the Church of the Puritans, West 130th street, and from the Committee of Thirty, representing the white property owner's association of Harlem. A long petition was presented from the church. The committee, a number of the members of which are members of the Presbytery, had, four representatives present to combat the movement. Ransom E. Wilcox, president of the Committee of Thirty, and a member of the real estate firm of Wilcox and Shelton, was the principal speaker against the movement. He was supported by another member of the committee, but the other two failed to speak.
The Rev. Wilton Merle-Smith, 29 W. 54th street, and the Rev. Henry S. Coffin, 129 East 71st street, gave strong support to the request of St. James. Dr. Smith said it was not a question of Presbyterians dealing in real estate but whether they are to preach the gospel to those who need it.
The matter was referred back to the church extension committee, which had already recommended it, with power to act. The committee will probably take final action at once and St. James, its officers and members hope soon to be located in Harlem.

CLEF CLUB TRIUMPH
(BY LUCIEN H. WHITE.)
When J. Tim Brymnswu his baton for the opening bars of Pryor's "Tout la Nuit" march, the fourth annual concert and dancefest of the Clerf Club of the City of New York was in full swing at Manhattan Casino on Thursday evening. June 4.
There was inspiration for the musicians in the magnificent audience which they faced and the magnetic personality of Conductor Brynn brought prompt and faithful response from every instrument from the violins to the traps. Notwithstanding certain changes which have occurred during the past year, the most critical listener could find no fault with the musical achievement of the club. Mr. Brynn is a musician of ability and he has had the assistance of Will Marion Cook as assistant conductor and chorus master. As a composer and cultivated musician Will Marion Cook is without a peer, and when he seriously and earnestly gives his mind to musical endeavor the result is always beyond cavil. As a consequence the instrumental and vocal endeavors of the club at this presentation suffered no whit in comparison with the efforts of previous years. As a matter of fact, if anything, there was improvement.
Then there were Harry Burleigh and Rosamond-Johnson, both of whom conducted the orchestra and chorus in renditions: of compositions written by themselves. Mr. Burleigh's "Southland" was rendered by the Clerf Gleub Club, and Mr. Johnson not only conducted but sang the lead part to his work song, "Roll dem Cotton Bales," the response being sung by the entire club, with accompaniment by the full orchestra. It is doubtful if the Clerf boys have ever presented a better balanced program or one more capably rendered.
A feature of the evening was furnished by Abbie Mitchell, who stands pre-eminently as the leading soprano lyricist of the race. Her personal charm is unaffected by the years which seem to add sweetness and richness to her voice. She sang two songs, both by her husband, Will Marion Cook, and she gave to them an interpretation which was sympathetic and authoritative.
Tom Fletcher contributed to the program a specialty in which he sang "The Missionary Man" and "Wouldn't That Be a Dream?" He was at his best and his work was thoroughly appreciated by the audience. "Bo Jangles," sometimes known as William Robinson, did for the 'steenth time his "mosquito on the cheese" gag and his imitation of a slide trombone with a walking cane. He did a wooden shoe dance, however, that was clever and artistic, and which rightly merited the enthusiastic reception accorded by the large audience.
The failure of Carlos Sebastian, the Spanish senor widely advertised to appear and do the modern society dances, was a disappointment which will not help the Clef boys any. It is better to advertise minor attractions from the start and have them than to compel folks, expecting stellar artists to be disappointed. However, President Kildare stepped nobly into the breach and introduced Wm. Jones (Rocks) and his dancing partner, Goldie Cisco, from Barron's Astoria Cafe, who gave an exemplification of the tango that pleased the folks.
As a directing genius Mr. Kildare has won laurels for himself, and the success of the 1914 Clef Club affair is due largely to his efforts. James C. Hunt, a member of the executive committee, was chairman of the advertising committee, and the splendid attendance was an evidence of the effectiveness of his methods. Brynn Kildare and Hunt made up a team that achieved a success unsurpassed by any effort of the past.
The following was the program in full:

It was a typical Clef Club audience, though the old-timer was obliged to say that there were many new faces present. The ladies were gowned most beautifully, all the new Parisian and European wrinkles being in evidence in connection with the latest New York styles. The out-of-town folks were present in large numbers, and the large force of black-
coated waiters was kept constantly on the go.
It may not be out of place in this connection to suggest to Mr. Waldron, proprietor of the Casino, that some of these same waiters could profitably be given a few lessons in courtesy and politeness. A number of them serve the patrons on occasions like the Clef Club affair, with an air of detached disdain and with an absence of urbanity and courtesy that makes one wonder why they are holding a waiter's job.
The officers of the Clef Club are: Daniel Kildare, president; Geo. Bennett, vice-president; Frank Beaudhuy, financial secretary; C. Louis Fuller, recording secretary; Lawrence E. M. Morris, treasurer; John Barnes, sergeant-at-arms; Charles A. Parker, librarian; Dr. A. A. Kellogg, examining physician; James C. Thomas, Jr. counselor.
The Clef Club staff consisted of Al Johns, charge d'affairs; Ttheodore Wilson and Chas. A. Parker, assistants; Wm. Parquette, stage director; Wm. H. Dixon, J. Ras. Jones and Wm. F. Patirck, floo managers; Frank Price, boxoffice manager; Winfred P. Carr, assistant; Geo. W. Bennette, ticket agent; John Barnes, pro-re-nata. The personnel of the Symphony Orchestra is as follows:

on their whirlwind finish. This act is well costumed, with dancing a feature. Alfred Baldwin, Lillian Fleming, William J. Bynum, Tessie Green, Rastus Williams and Dazie Baldwin are with the act.
Howard & Mason have an act which improves with age. They have made several changes which have strengthened their skit. There is more comedy, plenty of ginger and the young men showed class by successfully holding down a difficult spot on the bill.
Harris and Turner have an act which pleases. Miss Turner sings several songs and wears attractive costumes, while, "Jim" Harris supplies the comedy and lives up to his reputation of being one of the best trombone players on the stage. His trombone playing is the feature of the act.
Romie & Bash are two clever people who know how to effectively put over their songs and jokes. Their last song would be regarded as too suggestive if not so cleverly rendered.
Jessie Sutherland opened the bill in which she won favor in her, diving act, doing many unusual stunts under the water.
Last Sunday Mme. Fairfax and Son, the Harrison Stewart, Duo, Isola Ringgold, Max Freeman, Lottie Meney and Co. and Bennett and Darling were on a bill of merit.

HILL AT HAMMERSTEIN'S.
J. Leubrie Hill and the Darktown Follies, known in the original show as "My Friend from Kentucky," made its first appearance on Broadway 1, at Hammerstein's Theatre.
The production as a whole was not appreciated by the audience. In tabloid form the plot of the show as seen at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem was entirely lost and several of the humorous situations were missing. The solos, "The Man of the Hour" and "You" were among the original songs not heard in the shortened production.
Johnny Peters, assisted by Ruth Cherry, in three styles of modern dancing, won, applause and was appreciated by the audience. With Evan Robinson leading, "Night Time," supported by the chorus of the forty voices, pleased. Other numbers did not score.

of. 500 Seats—Many Other Choice
Reservations Already Sold.
All the extravagances of the latest society dances will be demonstrated at New Grand 'Central Palace next Wednesday night. A true evidence of the age of the society dances can be gleaned from the attendance of the advance sale of tickets for this timely and gigantic affair has far exceeded the expectation of the management.

An additional cash prize of $100 has been added to be awarded to the best pro-dancers, in the exhibition contest.
This is the first ball of its kind ever held in New York, but the management,announces that the general public will be permitted to dance the old style dances as well as the late society dances, consequently all who attend this function will have an opportunity to enjoy themselves.

First Emanuel Church: ... Those who assembled for services Sunday were led into a deeper revelation of the truth of Immanuelism. Pastor Bolden said "that human sovereignty without, the consciousness of the Holy God exercising himself in the free will seems to hinder the growth of the real and highest life for man. The truth in the idea that we are feebly but earnestly endeavoring to express, was known to the Immanuel from the beginning. The free will in man gave him the opportunity to do whatsoever he willed to do. The things he exercised himself in were sinful, therefore they wrought his ruin and caused his fall.
"The Lord of our life, the Immanuel, knowing of this failure in man, had perfected a substance called love; that would redeem him. Before He created man He prepared to meet the emergency. "Man came upon the scene and wrecked his own future; butt our Lord in due time came into human history and saved him by filling full the requirements of justice.
"Experience, observation and reason, the three lines of thought that furnish the oil of enlightenment man show us, in contrast the natural man's unrealized destiny, with the divine man's sovereignty secured by faith in Jesus, the Immanuel.
"In the book of Genesis we read, 'And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; so God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; made and female created He them. He blessed them and told them to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth; He told them to subdue the earth and have dominion over the things in the sea, in the air, upon the earth, and everywhere where there was life.'
"As to how successful man has been in carrying out His sovereign commission human history may tell. We think that the writer of the book of Hebrews sums up experimental knowledge of the conquest and failure of the natural man, but of his sovereign secured through the divine man our Lord clearer than any one else. He says, 'but now we see not yet all things subjected to man, but we behold him who hath been made a little lower than angels, even Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor that by the grace of God he should taste death for every man.' He ascended up in the heavens above mortal beings, he descended into the heart of believers, making them immortal beings. Possessing as He does two perfect united natures, in the heavens He is the King of glory; in earth He is the King of Kings. In Heaven He is the Lord, strong and, mighty, abiding with believers in the earth. He is mighty in battle. In heaven, there are no gates or everlasting doors to be held closed against Him; for the freedom of the Eternal City belongs to Him. In earth there are no creeds, races, conditions or organizations can impede His progress in bringing men to see that God dwells among them. And we, upon whom the Holy Ghost hath come, are not only witnesses, but know that we have received the power. Our sense of this power is to be seen in two things: love and service."

FIRST NEGRO TEACHER
OR NEW HOPE HIGH SCHOOL
OF NEW YORK EULOGIED
The life and work of the late Rev. John Peterson, principal of Colored School No.1, and the first Negro schoolmaster appointed in the City of New York, was commemorated by the Citizens' Club of Brooklyn at a recent date on the occasion of one of its monthly dinners at Cafe Raub, Brooklyn.
Many of the prominent men and women of Brooklyn were pupils of "Pop" Peterson, or "Unde John," as he was familiar and affectionately known, and his individuality, impressed upon several generations, will not soon be eradicated. The address of the evening was delivered by Walter B. Warren, one of the former pupils of the veteran teacher, who spoke as follows:
John Peterson, in whose memory we are gathered here to night, was born in New York City March 17, 1805. I have been requested to speak of him in connection with his work as a teacher. The exact date of the organization of his school and the number of pupils enrolled we have been able to learn. Probably, the school had its beginning in Rivington street, and from there was moved to Columbia street, and later to Mulberry street. The circumstances that brought about his appointment as the first colloquial teacher in the city of New York more recently by Mr. Peterson one of his teachers. The school was supported and controlled by a society of Quakers. They employed at first as teacher, an Englishman named Andrews. He was considered very severe and prejudiced. One day, during course in response to a command from Andrews, he was answered a rap at the school room door. Downing told Andrews a colored gentleman desired an interview. Andrews received the visitor courteously, but after his departure the Downing had was most severely caned for daring to a colored man, George C. Downing, who ported the case to his father, Thomas Downing, and a meeting of colored citizens, who protested against such treatment, was called. A petition was sent to the society asking to have Andrews removed. Mr. Peterson was appointed in his place. The appointment was approved by the people he believed that colored people had no ability to teach. The experiment proved a great success.
The building in Mulberry street, which dated back to the early part of the nineteenth century, was shut in from the view of passers-by by a high wooden fence. Later the city replaced this building with a larger one consisting eight classrooms and two assembly rooms. Mr. Poteman was assisted by ten teachers. There were four hundred pupils, girls and boys, in the school. It may be interesting at this time to recall the names of some of the teachers to whom the col-

ored boys and girls of a generation ago owe much.
"Pop" Peterson's Assistants.
They were George Greene, John Baker, Peter Ewell, John Jacob, Peter Loveridge, John Porter, Wright Sesson, and Julia Wood in the male department; Elliza Gwynne, Mary A Griffin, Maria Gosiah, Mary Allen, Rhoda Ledgers, Katherine Thompson, Elizabeth Gray and Mary Hegerman in the female department; Francis O. Ryan, drawing teacher; George W. Bettit, teacher, and Jane Tredwell, janitress.
The school was considered one of the best in the city, and was continued until a colored school was no longer needed in that locality. It was frequently visited by note of note, including the state and General Lafayette, the French general of Revolutionary fame.
John-Peterson was the principal for many years and, more than any other man of his time, impressed his strong individuality, upon several generations who remember him affectionately as his father. Peterson knew and what he was competent to teach have always been matters of conjecture. That he could manage a school, preserve order and promote industry, were never matters or doubt. His personality was unique, his intelligence and organization strong. And his genius for leadership unrivalled. He secured obedience, deference and respect without the slightest apparent exertion. This obedience was neither blind nor slavish, but willing and intelligent. The man was a man of great found as it was sincera. His sterling qualities ensured his popularity without exposing him to envy or prejudice. He never argued or lost his temper, or was unmindful of his dignity. He was severe, shrewd, controlled and won by his wit. He was a master at ax to grind. He recognized the possible slides in discussions, and his ability to weigh all points in a controversy gained for him the reputation of being logical and judicial. Mr. Peterson's voice, a clear resonant bass, was never less than powerful. His speech became impressive. In these and other respects he was an excellent model.
In the early days the monitorial system being in vogue less brilliant pupils were parceled into groups, each in charge of a special monitor, who having "been through" himself, was considered fully qualified to pioneer his squad through also by attempts more or less strenuous. Reading, writing, spelling, and "suma" comprised the course of studying fifty cararage. To this end, the mentals taught "grubbing", a system that compares not so very unfavorably with the more modern practice of cramming, was used.
What did John Peterson teach, if it cannot be proved he taught anything worthy of the name from books? He taught his boys to stand erect with

square shoulders and firm, steady gaze. He taught uncompromising fearlessness, a love of truth, a scorn of meanness. He developed a sense of honor and a loyalty to tradition, and trained for self-reliance, and self-reliance. He was known then known as good manners. There were no drones in the school, that the schoolmaster could close his eyes in meditation or sleep, which he frequently did, and things went on automatically. A man once said, referring to an out-of-the-way spot, "If I came across one Pop. Pop could give him for a Peterson boy I met him in the desert of Sahara.
Mr. Peterson impressed himself upon his scholars. From him upon them a powerful influence was exerted, an influence invisible, not to be analyzed, but largely instrumental in the formation of character. The power to position himself as a teacher is the ordinary man of affairs from the exceptional man who alone is worthy of being called an educator. Such a teacher was John Peterson. The best fruits of his labors were his successful endeavors in leading the untaught, the untrained, the undeveloped, the undisciplined, the uneducated, the own efforts, and to acquire the habit of reaching decisions and abiding by the consequences.
Peterson's Boys Had to Fight.
In my school days, we Peterson boys of the Mulberry street school were compelled to fight our way home from school, especially those of us living in the Baxter street school, which was in the rear of ours, wero-ready to attack us, and we would arm ourselves with the wood used in the stoves that heated our class rooms (little was used in the stoves). Not until the windows of the Board of Education building-located at Elm and Grand streets were broken, did they arrange to have our school dismissed at ten minutes of three and the Baxter street school at three o'clock, avoiding the regular afternoon battles.
But today, instead of fighting our white brothers with wood and stones, we are combating them with the knowledge gained by higher education every walk in the large assembly room every morning for prayer and song, after which we went to our class room for study. Mr. Peterson was a very strong man and knew how to use his rattan on all occasions when needed. No boy liked to be sent him him. He was kind hearted but what expect. He was kind hearted but stern, and very charitable, always ready to give in case of need. He was a practical Christian man.
John Peterson died July 14, 1885, in the eighty-first year of his age,荣誉 and respected by all. In conclusion, may we, like him, so live that we shall, be honored, and respected by all.

Manhattan Y. M. G. A. Notes
Following the suggestion made by Dr. Booker T. Washington some time ago last Sunday afternoon was observed as Railroad Day at the Manhattan Branch of the Y. M. C. A.: 252 West 53rd street. A large crowd of people attended the services and took part in the program. The principal speakers were the Rev. W. H. Brooks, of St. Marks M. E. Church and A. Granville Dill formerly of Atlanta University. The Rev. E. J. Lucas, of Liberia, West Africa, was also present.
Dr. Brooks spoke of his recent trip to the South and of the treatment which he received on the railroad. The "Jim Crow" car had many objectionable features, he said, however, he and the members of the party that were with him received every consideration at the hands of the railroad authorities. A great change has taken place in the South during the past twenty years, especially in Georgia and Atlanta. The evidences of progress which he saw on every side were a great revelation. He spoke in glowing terms of the educational and business enterprises of the people and said that the South had begun to develop a type of white people who would not forever stand for the conditions that has so long existed.
Mr. Dill said the South was entitled to whatever credit was due it for the liberal minded men and women now coming on the stage, but scathingly denounced the people as a whole for their unkind, uncharitable, unchristian, un-American and uncivilized attitude with reference to the 'race question.' He asserted that greater credit was due the colored people for their efforts to educate themselves than was due the white South for the share it had taken in the Negro's uplift.
The thirteenth anniversary exercises of the branch will be held next Sunday afternoon at St. Marks M. E. Church, West 53rd street, Judge Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, D. C. will address the meeting

of 400, and the collection amounted to $10.39. One new scholar was received. The regular teachers' meeting was held Wednesday night.
The communion service followed immediately after Sunday School, Pastor presiding. The auditorium was filled to its capacity. Two were fellowshipipped into the membership of the church and one was taken under the watch care.
At 7:30 p. m. another congregation assembled which taxed the capacity of the church, notwithstanding the extreme heat which prevailed. The subject of Pastor Moss's discourse was "The Church's Foundation," based on Isaiah 28-19. The sermon was a splendid exposition of the sure foundation upon which the Christian church rests. The Rev. Wm. Smallley, of Macon, Ga., was present and assisted in the service, offering prayer and pronouncing the benediction.
The church had decided that this service a collection should be taken for the efficient and faithful secretary of the board of trustees, Graham H. Carter, whose services are given without charge, and whose annual report was a financial masterpiece, and an offering of $25.35 was laid on the table by the congregation. Through President Berry the trustees announced that the purse would be made $30. Secretary Carter made a most felicitous response to the congregation and trustees in returning thanks. The total collection for the day amounted to $162.03.
