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.

Editor, The New York Age, 247 West 46th Street, New York City, N. Y. 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 THE ORCHESTRA respondence which refuses upon its good name does an injury to all good name does an injury to all. The inclosed copy of instructions sent to the army shows you that the Secretary of War is your personal attention to matters of injustice. Very respectfully, (Signed) LINDLEY M. HARRISON. 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). CHURCH OFFICIALS PUT OUT BY PASTOR ARNETT CHURCH OFFICIALS PUT OUT BY PASTOR ARNETT 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. Members of Class Write Letter. A number of the members or class 14 have served a letter protesting the removal of Mr. Dennis as leader and (committed on Page 2.) HOWARD GRADUATE WINS ESSAY CONTEST Special to The New York Age.

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. The Lincoln Cottage Will open Sunday, June 14th, 1914 Special rates will be given large Parties and bamilies.

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.) Big vaudeville bill at Lafayette Theatre next week at regular prices—Matinee 5-10 cents.

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. SIX RECEIVE DEGREES FROM COLUMBIA UNIV. Six Negroes received degrees at the 100th commencement of Columbia University held June 3, 1914.

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 The Rev. Hutchins C. 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. Creditt, president of Dowlingtown Academy, Philadelphia, and a trustee of the university, at a reception and banquet tendered the Rev. Mr. Bishop at his church Thursday night, June 4.

At the banquet short speeches were made by Chas. W. Anderson, Dr. E. P. Roberts, John E. Nail, Allen D. Wood and Dr. George E. Cannon, who represented the Lincoln alumni. Others present were: E. G. Clifton, D. B. Brown, F. Howard, J.-W. Johnson, the Rev. Mr. Plaskett, N. Peart, B. A. Swant, Shelton H. Bishop, Dr. Robinson, Dr. Pierre and Dr. St. John. 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. PUT IN ASYLUM, SUES CITY FOR HALF MILLION Special to The New York Arg Special to THE NEW YORK ACK 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.

Sparay, a distinguished trombonist and a member of the band. So far Mr. Pettiford has surpassed the expectations of Mr. Church as a player.

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.

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.

A large demand for high-Class Colored Servants by this Agency. 391-393-395 Sixth Ave. Phone 4728 Main aug 8-3pm 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.

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. sBALTIMORE MD BALTIMORE, M.D. BALTMORE, Md.-The annual memorial service of local lodges of the Knight of Pythias were held at Bethel A.

Bllelte, Wie Wits SER ae 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. Clef Club Chorus and Orchestra Conducted and led by ROSAMOND JOHNSON Chorus "Rain Song" ..... Cook WM. JONES (Rocks) and GOLDIE CISCO 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: I.

A lot of conjectures as to the reason are in the air. At Leroy's Cafe, 135th street and Fifth avenue, the management is featuring Mamie Sharpe in the song, "Rose of the Mountain Trail." Every Sunday evening a full orchestra, including Cleo Desmond and Allie Rose, furnishes music. ```markdown ``` William Banks, at his cafe, 206 West 37th street, near Seventh avenue, is presenting four-singers in Bertha Clarke, Maude Shelton, who also plays the violin, Lucy Hoy, and Mary Kelly. John Marshall presides at the piano and Joe Banks is the drummer. --- At Wood's Cafe, 132d street and Fifth avenue, R Rountree, manager, Maude Redding, Retta Scott and Flora Smith are the entertainers, while Mr. Sims, drummer, and Mr. Simmons, at the piano, assist. Every Thursday afternoon a whist contest is held at which time six prizes are given to the three couples having the highest number of points at the closing of the games. THE LAFAYETTE'THEATRE Vaudeville and feature photo plays once more. Hold the center of the stage at the Lafayette Theatre, with the prevailing prices—5 and 10 cents in the afternoon and 10, 15 and 25 cents in the evenings. The bill given the first half of this week was entertaining from start to finish and greatly pleased. The management will present a monster vaudeville bill next week at the regular prices and a record-breaking business is being looked forward to. S. H. Dudley and Patrick, the mule, have been engaged to hold up the comedy end of the program, while Will Marion Cook and Abbie Mitchell will be the principal entertainers in song. Tom Fletcher was the hit of the bill the first half of the week. At every performance he scored heavily and was compelled to respond to encores. Mario and imps did all that was expected of the headline act, and always weig big ```markdown ``` 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.

Manager of Madison Square Garden Dancing Carnival Purchases Block 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.

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.

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. BROOKLYN NOTES Big vaudeville bill at Lafayette Theatre next week at regular prices—Matines 5-10 cents. Evenings, 10, 15 and 25 cents. J. L.
