I nebler, run my train, off the track, and I nebler lost a passenger." Prominent Men Speak. The unveiling was marked by appropriate exercises, prominent men of both races participating. The principal address was delivered by Dr. Booker T. Washington, who eloquently recited the achievements of Harret Tubman, glorified her life and characterized her courage, constancy and wisdom as models for the traces of the world. The speaker also extolled his face for the great progress made in fifty years of freedom and predicted for it a bright and happy future. Mayor Charles W. Brister paid a glowing tribute to "Aunt Harriet," as did former Mayor E. Clarence Aiken, who presided and made the presentation address, Mrs. Mary E. Tallert of Buffalo, president of the Empire State Federation, read an excellent and interesting paper on the life and deeds of Harriet Tubman. The spacious lower floor of the theatre was filled and all the boxes were occupied. Seated on the stage were the speakers, the members of the Auburn Festival Chorus, an orchestra and guests. In one box was a group of Civil War veterans, while another was occupied by a party of prominent society women of Auburn. Conspicuous in a front seat of a lower box was Emily Howland of Sherwood, to whom a tribute was paid during the evening-by Dr. Washington for her kindly interest in the Negro. Delegations representing colored societies, occupied boxes, and coloredcitizens from adjacent cities were present. As the curtain rose Olmstead's orchestra played a selection from *delle*, which was followed by a solo, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," by Miss Lena J. Broogs, assisted by the Festival Chorus and audience. Prayer was offered by the Rev John Quincy, Adams of the summary. The Festival Chorus then sang "Jerusalem the Golden." Former Mayor Makes Presentation Address. In making the presentation address to former Mayor Aken said: "We are gathered here this evening to pay tribute to one of the most greatest character of the Western woman who lived with innestness and life in service of her people and her country. They have been very few mon ments to shave and very few memory of Negroes and I be- come one to a Negro woman and a woman is greeting this time."

MARKS The features of the twelfth anniversary exercises of the colored men's City held at St. Mark's M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon, June 14, were the large crowd present and, the address made by Judge Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, D. C., the speaker of the occasion; Great applause greeted Judge Terrell as he rose to speak, after being introduced by Councilor J. L. Curtis, on the subject "A Brief Retrospect." In turn, Judge Terrell complimented the audience on its interest in the Y. M. C. A. as evidenced by the large attendance. He also thanked the voters of all parties of the United States for their united support in the effort to have him reelected judge of the municipal court in Washington, D. C. In taking up his subject, the judge said, among other things, that the Negro, had since slavery outstripped his visions. There is no parallel in history. The Negro has not only become intellectual leaders of brains to vote, but has become part and parcel of this nation in its financial, economic and social activities. It is a great opportunity to be in a nation such as the United States for the Negro is better or here. In no other country does he receive as high wages. Here he has a better opportunity for school and church facilities. Seek in vain for the country where the better class of people have done equally as well. But in the midst of this success the Negro must not forget the everlasting god. In closing, Judge Terrell said that the colored people Americans by birth, by training and by ambition. Therefore they are prepared to acquit themselves in the United States. Greatness comes through fighting and as knowledge and wealth cannot be long kept down, the Negro should be of good courage and spirit. At the close of the speech the audience showed its appreciation by the waving of handkerchiefs and hand clapping. The Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks Church, was master of ceremonies. The report of the Y M C. A was printed and distributed to all present, Secretary Thomas J. Bell gave a short report as follows. The association has a membership of 330, property worth about $35,000, dermitory accommodations for 24 men at from $6 to $8 per month.

Lawrence Freeman, director sang three numbers "Oh Nobody Knows-the Trouble I've Seen," "Swing Low Sweet Charlott," and "Pallahlujah - Chorus." The numbers were greatly appreciated by the audience. The Rev W. P Hayes offered prayer, the Rev. A. Clayton Powells lifted the collection and benediction was pronounced by the Rev. Mr. Brooks. The total collection was about $100, the ladies auxiliary donating $12.50 A. S. Newman, Dr. E. P. Roberts; E. V. Williams, John H. E. Elmendorf were among those present giving their services.

Hood left for New Rochelle to spend a week recuperating, the guest of the Rev. Clarence Van Buren. The bishop spoke enthusiastically of the record made by the New York conference which led the entire connection in the proportionate amount of money raised for the girls' dormitory at Livingston College. Assessed for $1,000, the conference responded with $1,130. The four conferences over which Bishop Hood presides were assessed for this purpose $5,400. and reported $605. The conferences are the New York, the Virginia; the Central North Carolina and the Western Central North Carolina. At the Sunday session' of the New York conference the collection amounted to $230. The bishop had some delicate situations to handle in the session just adjourned an while the final action may not have been satisfactory to all concerned the bishop managed to preserve his equilibrium and poise. YONKERS NEW CHURCH OUTSTRIPS OTHERS Special to The New York Age YONKERS, N. Y., June 17—Mrs. Carrie E. Ryerson was the delegate from the New A. M. E. Zion Church to the New York annual conference at Mt. Vernon, and when she made her report on Monday afternoon she electrified the gathering. This church is only eleven months old and has been a bone of contention during all of that time. Strong efforts were made to exclude it from the conference, opponents going to the extent of threatening to withdraw older churches from the conference if this new organization was recognized. A deafening roar of applause greeted Mrs. Ryerson when she turned over to the conference the sum of $60 for general fund, and Bishop Hood was surprised and delighted. New Church far outstripped many of the older bodies, such churches as Hudson, Sparkhill and Nyack only raising $40 for the general fund.

The first railroad in America to be conceived, promoted, built and operat- ed by Negroes is the Dixie Line, run- ning from the, Kowaliga Community to Alexander, a distance of fifteen miles, in the eastern part of Alabama, con- necting with the Central of Georgia Railroad, Wm. Benson the young Neg- ro, at the head of the school at this point, is the achieving genius' of the railroad. Kowaliga is a Negro community and besides the school, oil mills, turpentine stills, cotton gins and other industries are conducted, which made transportation facilities necessary. This necessity led to the building of the rail- road by Mr. Benson. The Negroes of Alabama were also the first to establish a bank. The leading educational institution in the world, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institution, is located in Alabama. The progress of the Negroes of Alabama is typical of what the Negroes are doing in other states. Alabama has a Negro population of 908,282, the third greatest in the United States. In agriculture they are making the most progress. Fifty per cent, of all the persons in the State engaged in agriculture are Negroes. On the other hand, 75 per cent, of all the Negroes in the State are engaged in farming. There are 110,440 colored men operating farms. Negro farmers own or control 5,100,000 acres of land in the State of Alabama, or 350,000 more acres than they controlled in 1900. The colored farmers of the State have under their control 3,563,000 acres of improved land, and are farming 500,000 more acres of improved land than they were cultivating in 1900. In ten years the number of Negro farmers increased 17.3 per cent, and now they own or control one-fourth of all the farm property in Alabama, having an aggregate value of $97,370,000. 155th St. & 8th Ave. JUNE 29th y Without Alloy BOX SEATS, $1.00 THE FROGS CIRCUS Tight Wire Walkers, Equilibrists, Gymnasts and Clowns Manhattan Casino Transferred into a Huge Text for this Performance AFTER THE SHOW THE DANCE WOMAN BUILT-ZION CHURCH AT MT. VERNON special to The New York Age Mr. VERNON, N. Y., June 17.—One of the most interesting characters in attendance on the New York annual conference last week was Mrs. Nellie A. Thompson, who lives at 135 South Seventh avenue, and who is literally and physically the founder of the Zion Church in Mt. Vernon. Mrs. Thompson came to Mr. Vernon from Washington, D. C. Twenty-two years ago. She was a member of the Valory M. E. Church in that city. Findin' no church in M. Vernon, her efforts were soon directed toward the getting of a place of worship for the colored people. At 160 South Seventh avenue the work was started in the rear of old man Keeler's house, the front being occupied by a saloon. Mrs. Thompson paid three months' rent out of her own purchase and put $50 in the treasury to start on. Six months later the meetings were moved to Ninth avenue, where they were maintained for three or four years. While at this location the body was organized into a regular Zion church by the Rev. W. Ealy. The next location was Third street and Eighth avenue until 1906, when the present edifice was built at Eighth avenue and East Chester lane. The first pulpit stand was built by Mrs. Thompson, who saw fitted and put together the lumber herself. In building the house Mrs. Thompson worked along with the others, many times, she states, wading in water to her knees in carrying the lumber. Many of the most prominent ministers of the connection in this section of the country have assisted in the work of this church. The first pastor was the Rev. W. Ealy and the first presiding elder was the Rev. E. George Biddle. The Rev. T. G. Thomas and the Rev. R. Lyles, were connected with the work in the beginning, and the Rev. M. Johnson is the present pastor. Lyles died about four months, ago, the first of the group to pass away. Mrs. Thompson is enthusiastic in the work of the church and has done everything save preach. In the absence of the pastor she generally opens the services and the chances are she will be preaching before she is through. PROMINENT CITIZENS HOSTS OF TUSKEGEEAN Special to The New York Times ACADEMN, N. Y., June 16. While in this city last week attending the unveiling of the bronze tablet in the memory of Harriet Tubman, Dr. Booker T. Washington was entertained by a number of Auburn's leading citizens. Upon reaching the city the Tuskegeean was met at the station by L. E. Sperry, president of the Business Men's Association, Secretary Charles G. Adams and former Mayor Clarence E. Alken. He was driven directly to Mr. Aiken's home on Owascar Road. SCHOOL TRUSTEES COME TO DEFENSE OF BISHOP SCHOOL TRUSTEES COME TO DEFENSE OF BISHOP Declare that Bishop Cottrell Has Confidence of Trustees Faculty and Students PUBLICATION DENOUNCED. Declare that Prejudice and Professional Jealousy Caused the Airing of Old Case at Recent General Conference. Had Been Exonerated by Church and State. Holly Springs, Miss. June 10—At a recent meeting of the board of trustees of the Mississippi Industrial College the article published in The Age, issue of June 4, concerning the effort of Bishop Cottrell before the C. M. E. General Conference at St. Louis to have him tried on charges of wrong action alleged to have been committed some time ago, was brought up for consideration. The article was captioned "Bishop Cottrell Had to Make Strong Defense." The article stated that a majority of the Committee on Episcopacy recommended the passing of the character of Bishop Cottrell but that a fight was precipitated by the Rev. Chas. Holsey of Georgia who presented a minority report, recommending a trial of the bishop by the general conference. The minority report was defeated and the bishop exonerated. The trustees denounced the article and wrote the following letter to Tim Ack concerning the publication: To the Editor of The Age. We are sure that you will take pleasure in publishing this article because of the suspicion that it casts upon one of the strongest and best man of the tribe, as well has upon the great institution that stands for racial uplift. We, as trustees, have been identified with this institution from its beginning; we have also known its officers and staff; we have also lived in his native town, county and State and we unrespectively childre the false statement in the article with reference to this matter affecting Bishop Cottrell's professional chart of the church, and have attended at the recent session of the general conference held at St Louis, Missouri. The St. Louis correspondent was either ignorant of the facts in the case or meant to be in injury (Commended on Page 2) (By Alonzo Rives.) The 93rd session of the New York annual conference opened at noon on Wednesday, June 10. Bishop James, Walker Hood, presiding, with Bishop Josiah S. Calwell as the associate bishop, in Centennial A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. J. W. H. Johnson, pastor, Mt. Vernon, N. Y. The conference was organized with the following officers: the Rev. L. H. Taylor, correspondent secretary, the Rev. Clarence Van Buren, secretary; the Rev. C. Fairfax, statistician, the Rev. Benjamin Judd, publisher, the Revs. C. R. Moody and J. W. Coleman, marshalls; and the Rev. J. W. H. Johnson, post messenger. The first day was occupied in the collection of finances. Major Edwin W. Fiske, of Mt. Vernon, joined with other in welcoming the conference to Mt. Vernon. The Rev. Mark A. Lynch welcomed the conference on behalf of the Baptist folks and C. W. J. Johnson performed a similar service on behalf of the citizens. J. H. Wood on behalf of the trustees of the church, welcomed the bishops, general officers and ministers. Dr. George C. Clement, editor of the Star of Zion and manager of the publication house at Charlotte, W. C. responded to the welcoming addresses. Thursday morning's session was devoted to an executive session from which the bishops and delinquents are heard. The afternoon session was consumed principally in listening to the reports from the law delegates. The reports showed that progress had been made in nearly all the churches, many additions had been made to the membership, a corner stone had been relied by the Rev. J. W. McKoy at Tarrytown, the Rev. Benjamin Juyd had created a fund of $2,600 for the building of a new parsonage, the Rev. R. C. C'Cohen had made improvements at Jones' Church in Brooklyn. Considerable interest was manifested in the report coming from Yorkers where there was much confusion last year. The delegate from Mother Zion failed to tell about the success of Dr Brown at Mother Zion. He failed, to state that he had formed 27 associaries which, had raised over $3,000, that he had raised $4,000 more than was raised last year, that the number of new members had exceeded me year before, and that describe the many obstacles thirteen in his path. Mother Zion had enjoyed her most prosperous year. Presiding Elders Make Addresses. The report of the delegate from Rush Memorial also excited comment and considerable interest. Reports were also heart from Dr. L. G. Mason, presiding elder, Harrison River District, Dr. R. M. Jacobs, Harlem District, and Dr. M. O. Haynes of the Long Island District. Bishop and Mrs. Alexander Walters were introduced. Bishop Walters responded with a brief speech and spoke of the recent purchase of a church in Baltimore the cost of which had been $100,000. He declared that it was the finest church in the connection and that the general church ought to feel proud of the Church Extension Department of which Jno C. Dancy was the head. At the morning session of the third day an executive session was held to consider the case of the Rev. R. M. Bolden, who was appointed to the church at Yonkers last year but declined the appointment. Bishop Hood delivered his annual episcopal address at the afternoon session Friday. The address was comprehensive in its scope and toned upon every phase of the work of the church. The Bishop devoted considerable time to discussion of the Rush Memorial Church and expressed confidence in the present pastor, Dr. Crooke. He scored the former pastor, the Rev. J. H. McMullen, by saying that he had put the greatest burden upon the church in all its history. Saturday's session was devoted to routine work. Dr. J. W. Echelberger, Jr., principal of Walters Institute, Warren, Ark. made a plea for his school at Thursday's session and was rewarded with a collection of $100. Among the visiting heathren were Dr. C. S. Whitted, presiding elder of the New Haven Conference, Dr. B. W. Swain of Boston, Dr. W. H. Fly of Bridgeport the Rev. G. J. B. Yelderon, recently of the Arkansas conference but now of the Western New York, the Rev John C. DesVerney of New York and Dr. George-Biddle of Worcester, Mass. The auditorium on Carney avenue, the most commodious building in Mt. Vernon, was packed at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon to hear Bishop J. S. Cahwell preach at 8 o'clock in the evening. Dr. Brown of Mother Zion preached. Many persons were present from New York, Brooklyn and surrounding cities. Monday afternoon was given to the women. The Women's Home and Fork Sign Mission Societies met, presided over by the Rev. Florence Randolph. At the auditorium on Monday evening the conference closed with a fine program under the management of Claybourne Johnson, chorester of Mother Zion Church, at which times the appointments were read. PRICE FIVE CENTS WOULD GIVE REV. BOLDEN NO TIME On Trial in Annual Conference but Given No Time for Preparation Enemies in the Conference Succeed in Efforts to Secure Unfavorable Action Against Bolden. High Prelate, Accused of Criminal Morality, Said to be Heed of Conspiracy to Destroy Bolden Who Is in Possession of Evidence of the Churchman's Guilt. The work being done by the Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden, founder and pastor of the Emanuel Church of New York City, was the foundation of charges preferred against him in the annual session of the New York conference held at Mt. Vernon, N. Y., ending Monday night of this week. At the session of the conference held in Yankers in 1913 the Rev. Mr. Bolden, who then pastored Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, New York, was removed from that charge despite the protests of a large part of the membership. The dissatisfied people organized an independent work and requested Mr. Bolden to assume the leadership. Out of this movement grew the Emanuel Church, located at 105 West 130th street, in property lately purchased, and which is being remodeled for church purposes. Conference Appoints Trial Committee. The conference took place of this movement, and on Thursday, June 11, Bishop Blood presiding, the following committee was appointed to deal with Mr. Bolden: the Rev W. H. Allen, chairman; the Rev F. W. Crusie; secretary; the Rev George C. Clements; attorney; the Rev J. F. Waters, the Rev, Henry Morrison, the Rev S. S. Boyd and the Rev Benjamin Judd. The secretary of the conference, the Rev Clarence Van Birren, then sent by special delivery the following summons to the Rev Mr. Bolden "New York City, N. Y. "You are hereby notified to appear before a committee of the New York annual conference of the New York Church now in session at Mount Vernon, N. Y. "You are charged by the Conference with Insubordination; Sowling Seeds of Discord, and with such attitude toward the church as disqualifies you to remain longer in the ministry of the A. M. F. Zion Church. "The Committee will meet at 9 a. m. Friday, (tomorrow morning) in the A. M. E. Zion Church, Mt. Vernon, N. Y. "The conference sends this notice out of courtesy, since as a member you are required to answer the roll call. "Very respectfully, Signed. "CLARENCE VAN BUREN. "Secretary of Conference." Bolden Meats Committee. This summons was mailed at 1 o'clock p.m. on Thursday and received at the New York post office station at 3 p.m. Mr. Bolden, in response, reported at the seat of the conference promptly at 9 o'clock Friday morning. He was given a cordial greeting by brother ministers and friends who were awaiting the assembling of the conference. After, some delays the committee was called together. Consultation between Dr. Clements, the attorney, and the Rev Mr. Allen, chairman, resulted in further delay while the secretary, attorneys and others went into an anteroom to formulate what proved to be formal charges against Mr. Bolden. Finally, when the committee was called together, the secretary handed a copy to Mr. Bolden, and then read the following charges: "Charpes Against the Rev. R. M. Bolden of the New York Conference." "CHARGES, Incorporation and Saving Seeds of Discard" "SPEECHINATION, NO. 1—That Roy Bolden refused to take charge of the church at Yonkers when appointed by the Bishop at the last annual conference and forthwith began to organize an independent movement contrary to and in direct opposition to the polity of the A. M. E. Zion Church." "SPEECHINATION NO. 2—That Roy Bolden has constantly and persistently denounced and opposed the ministry of the A. M. E. Zion Church and settled distinctions among the members of Mother Zion Church of which the said Roy Bolden was formally pastory. After the readog of the charges Chairman Allen called upon Mr. Bolden to plead. The accused minister immediately filed a plea of "Not guilty," but stated that he was not ready for trial, as he had had time to secure neither witnesses or counsel. He asked for a postponement that he might secure both. To this request Attorney Clements interposed strenuous objection. He said that he had no objection to Bolden securing counsel, as he was entitled to, and was willing that he should be allowed five minutes for that purpose. But he declared that no other time should be granted because Bolden did not answer to the roll call. Clements reiterated the claim that the notice given was only a courtesy and not a reason to which Bolden was entitled. tices which the Negro suffers; and indorsed Booker T. Washington's Railroad day, advocating a yearly observance of that day. The conference will hold its next session in Providence, R. I. Bishop Walters read the following appointments: The Rev. C. S. Whitted. WANT OFFICE OPENED IN NEW YORK CITY Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Philadelphia, Pa., June 17—Plans for the opening of an office for an association of Negro secondary and industrial schools in New York were dit. The chairman sustained the objection and ordered trial to proceed. Bolden then asked to exeec. "From the sitting of the committee, as he would not consent to go to trial under the conditions. He again declared his innocence of the charges. Clements asked that Bolden absure from the sitting he at his request from Church Allan first that Bolden would be excused, but upon further objection by the attorney changed the ruling and refused to excuse Bolden. Mr. Bolden then bid the committee good day and left. The committee continued its sitting after the accused had left and reported later in the day to the conference in secret session with the finding that the Rev. Mr. Bolden be expelled from the conference. The report was adopted, according to reports received of the secret session. Bolden Threatens Exposuer. Monday morning Mr. Bolden went to Mr. Vernon and had an interview with Bishop Hood. The bishop was informed that unless the conference reconsidered its action and expunged from the record the findings of the committee a fight would be precipitated in which it would be shown that high church officials had entered into a conspiracy to destroy Bolden because of a knowledge which he possesses, of their wrong doings morally and in financial matters. Whatever might have been the force of Mr. Bolden's statements to the bishop, certain it is that a new committee was appointed to look into the Bolden case. This committee did not have Mr. Bolden appear before it, it appears, but sent a member to see him and get a statement. Attempt to Reconsider Action. After deliberating through most of the day this committee could accomplish nothing - satisfactory, so it was dismissed, and another committee appointed. This committee worked well into the night, and called upon Mr. Bolden to appear in person and make a statement. The result of the work of this committee was apparent when in the session of the conference the Rev. John J. Smyers of Yonkers offered a motion that the former action of the conference be rescinded and the Rev. R. M. Bolden be restored to full standing, with the understanding that he would be free to withdraw in amity from the conference. A number of the strongest men of the conference were in favor of this method of settling the affair. Bishop Hood Favors Rescinding. Bishop Hood declared that it should be done, as in no way, shape or form had Bolden been guilty of insubordination. Dr. McMillan strongly urged its acceptance, saying that the conference had treated Bolden worse than Huerta treated Madero in Mexico. The Rev. Mr. Bradley urged it. "The Rev. F. M. Jacobs was presiding for Bishop Hood and he declared that the change ought to be made. "For God's sake," he said, "undo this wrong. 'Take this blot off your records.'" The Rev. Mr. Fairfax spoke in favor of adopting the motion. Mr. Bolden was called on and made a statement setting forth his position and the relation he bore to the new work he has undertaken. Opposers of reconsideration were the Rev. Henry Morrison, a member of the trial committee; the Rev. Mr. Collins of Middletown, N. Y., who said he would die before he would vote to reconsider, and that if Zion connection could not have Bolden he wanted nobody else to have him; the Rev. B. Judd of Poughkeepsie declared that Bolden had split the church and he opposed reconsideration. Two of the strongest speeche sopposing Bolden were made by the Rev. Mr. Gregory, a fraternal messenger from Norfolk, Va., and the Rev. C. S. Whitted of Connecticut, who declared with fiery eloquence that the conference ought to teach Bolden a lesson. Opponents Win, 18 to 11. When the vote was taken the motion to reconsider was lost by a vote of 18 to 11. The Rev. Mr. Bolden will immediately take an appeal from the action of the New York conference, believing that personal enmity and prejudice controlled. He will continue the development of his new work and the members of Emanuel Church are outspoken in their determination to continue the work as splendidly begun. To substantiate his charge that a conspiracy was responsible for the action against him it is reported that Mr. Bolden will at once put in the possession of the District Attorney evidence which will probably result in charges being preferred against one of Zion's bishops who was in attendance for a while on the Mt. Vernon-conference, the charges involving actions of flagrant immorality. 17-YEAR OLD GIRL GRADUATES WITH HONOR inspecial to the New York Age SILHARON, Pa., June 17—When Olive C. Cesar, daughter of a well-known citizen of the town, W. K. Cesar, graduated at the Sharon Casino, June 11, 1914, inhabitants of that little town witnessed the first commencement exercises to be participated in by a Negro.

COLORED COUNCILMEN IN PRIMARY ELECTION Special to TUX, NEW YORK CAMBRIDGE. Md., June 17—Former Councilman H. M. St. Clair and Councilman Nehemiah Henry were the winners in a four-cornered primary fight in the Third Ward Tuesday of last week. The fight was not without its exciting incidents and all of the candidates were colored. The majority of the residents of the ward are colored, likewise the greater portion of the business enterprises. The counting of the ballots caused some ill feeling, and the counsel to the Dorchester County Board of Commissioners, Mr. Henry's attorney, as well as the legal representative of Mr. St. Clair, were on hand to see that the count proceeded in an orderly and legal way. Mr. St. Clair's friends declared that Councilman, Henry had control of the election machinery and that Dr. S. E. Maloney, an election judge, was biased in his decisions. The general election will take place on July 9 and a hotly contested campaign will be waged. Mr. Henry is a merchant here, Mr. St. Clair is also a merchant, at one time served as principal of the public school, is grand master of exchequer for the Maryland Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and has served seven terms as a member of the City Council.

FIRST RAILROAD BUILT BY NEGROES IN AMERICA (Contlued from page 1.) or 107.5 per cent, more farm property than they controlled at the beginning of the ten-year period. The banking business is another line in which the Negroes of the State are making progress. There are five banks in Alabama operated by Negroes, the Alabama Penny Savings Bank and the Prudential Savings Bank of Birmingham, the Penny Savings Bank of Selma, the Penny Savings Bank of Aniston, and the Penny Savings Bank of Montgomery. A remarkable increase is shown during the ten years in the number of Negroes who have established successful grocery stores, drug stores, real estate offices, and other enterprises. In practically every city in the State where there are large numbers of colored people, they have acquired the ownership of entire city blocks. The Negro church has kept pace with the progress of the Negro in agriculture, commerce, and education. In every city in Alabama where there is a large community $^4$ of Negroes they have built churches costing $20,000 to $50,000. The value of the church property owned by colored people of the State amounts in all denominations to $4,000,000. Thus with the physical progress of the Negro churches of Alabama has come intellectual and moral advancement. SCHOOL TRUSTEES'COME TO DEFENSE OF BISHOP Continued from Page 1.1) to the great institution as well as its founder. In March, 1912, when the Associated Press published the sensational stories with reference to Bishop Cottrell, no such charges were indicated questioning the management and conduct at the M. I. College. Their origin among questionable characters in the city of Memphis and all of the parties connected or associated with it were Memphis people. There is not one schtilla of truth in the statement of reference to I. College, to any of its students or anyone else connected with it. The bishop has the confidence and respect of the trustees, faculty, students and all the patrons of this institution and publication of these false rumors has never shaken the confidence of any one connected with this institution. The brave and manly fight that he made in vindicating himself has tended to increase their faith and confidence in the integrity and character of his people. He has also efforts by both friends and couples to get Bishop Cottrell to compromise in this matter, to keep it out of the courts for a monetary consideration, he stubbornly refused, but fought it out on a principle that so thoroughly exonerates him, as most conversant with the case do not question, ip the least, his innocence. In the church, the bishop was tried by a court presided over by one of the strongest ecclesiastical judges in the church and the committee was composed of the best brain and character from various parts of the church because deceived; and when they heard the verdict, they unhesitatingly exonerated the bishop. In the civil court, the prosecution broke themselves down in attempting to establish their charges, which were so weak and filimay that the bishop with an array of the best testimony as character witnesses of both white and black from various parts of the country, even called upon to introduce their evidence. Hence a unanimous verdict was rendered exonerating him. The Case at St. Louis. When this matter was brought to St Louis, it was not due to have been brought there, nor discussed at all, for Bishop Cottrell had been tried and acquitted by all the statutory laws that the church and the state of Tennessee had. But prejudice and professional bias against their friends, mainly composed of those secoeckers, was strong enough to open the case under parliamentary technicalities which formed a hearling. The bishop came to the front like a hero and soon demonstrated the fastness of his faith. He generalized the case and the enmity that they meant to show that the bishop was treated right. It was useless to talk about the mere fact for when QUINADE GROWS HAIR REMOVES DANDRUFF QUINASOAP THE IDEAL SHAMPOO SOAP QUINACOMB HAIR STRAIGHTENER SHAMPOO DRYER SEESY DRUG COMPANY.

CO., RICHMOND, VA. one becomes familiar with church politics in Negro general conferences and the number of unholy, ambitious office-seekers that bob up every four years, that make a strong effort to create vacancies for themselves, would regard a majority of three as a sweeping theory. It is passingly strange that the circulation of this damaging and false rumor as it is claimed, so seriously affected the church and the race in the various parts of the country, but the diocese of Bishop Cottrell where all of his private and official life has been maintained, is not affected. They stood from the beginning and are standing now compromisibly—regardless of race or color—by their peerless leader, and the Fourth Episcopal District over which he presided, excelled in every respect the work in all lines to that of any of his colleagues—figures to it. It is prescient that the work that Bishop Cottrell is doing through his leadership. Bishop Cottrell has immortalized himself in the hearts of the masses, if not the classes, in the great work he established in the establishment of schools, and their effort to fight him and his great work tends only to strength him in the estimation of his friends.

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.

In the same issue of the News appears a long communication by Dr. H. O. Alexander, in which he says: In fact, since the question was omitted from the program, of the Raleigh mails meeting, and since the Supreme Court has decided that the city of Winston-Salem must get special authority in respect of protection one of the mails addressed with such social equality Negro papers as New York Age, have expressed the opinion that this question will not be pressed for solution. To all such I wish to say that this is a vital living problem as long as North Carolina has a large rural population that would preserve for its prosperity a white civilization in rural communities. There are thousands of patriotic countrymen who will advocate, and press this question until it shall be settled to the having of white communities and the protection of our homes and our women and children—and that, too, with benefit, rather than detention to the Negro...

Miscellaneous or display advertising will be received in THE AUX office no later than Wednesday, 10 a.m. of each week. SOUTHERN CONVENTION We are sure Dr. Alexander cannot define social equality and would not understand it if we should define it for him. He knows this, as all Southern white men do, and he only uses it, as all of them do, to bar the Negro citizens out of all participation in the rights of government equally with white men and to deny his rights to make and enforce contracts, with public carriers and purveyors, as others do it. The questions involved in the social relation begin and end with the personal rights of the individual, which no legislation can touch without impairing the liberty of the individual in his private and domestic relations. Dr. Alexander, therefore, begs the question, when he arbitrarily classes THE AGE, as a "social equality Negro newspaper." Holding the views he does, we should regard Dr. Alexander as a dangerous person to admit to our family circle, and there is no law or constitutional authority for law to compel us to do so; but we would not question his right to live in the same street and block with us, nor to ride in the same passenger coach or Pullman Palace car with us, because those are not personal but civil rights. Why people who live in glass houses throw more stones, than those, who live in stone houses remains as much of a mystery as when first discovered to be a fact in human purposesology. The whites of the South have insisted for so long that they possess a patent right on law and order and orderly procedure in everything, from a backwoods barbecue to the Baltimore Convention, with Cole Blease or William Jennings Bryan incessantly mopping his face and beating the discordant trombones, that the rest of mankind are half-disposed to accept, their falsehood. Gov. Blease's Solicitor General was recently shot at Spartansburg by another lawyer, and now his leader of the. House of Representatives has been battered into the hospital with "brass knuckles" by an irate opponent. If they keep at it they will begin to use "the razor", which, in certain Southern circles always associates with "brass knuckles" and craps. THE TYRANNY OF TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT. Across the line, in North Carolina, at McLiver schoolhouse, recently, a meeting of the Trustee Board ended in a free-for-all fight and some of the best and most respected heads in the district had to be bathed in arnica and covered with court plaster. A half dozen men were arrested and fined $15, says the white-newspaper account before us. A special dispatch from Goldsboro to the Greensboro Daily News says the Democratic nominating convention of the Third Congressional District was "a wrangle and fight from start to finish." Read and digest the following account from the News: Intense excitement prevailed throughout the entire time, and to-night several delegates, are nursing sore heads, punched in noses, discolored eyes, while two more were rushed to the local hospital for recuperation, from scalding and difficulty in breathing. Tew, who went to the assistance of Sheriff Edwards, who was finding it a hot time after he had forced a delegate to resume his seat, and suddenly found himself surrounded by some fifteen howling followers of the delegate who assaulted him. One of the mob slipped the Sheriff's revolver from his pocket, displeased, same, giving冲击 to a wrist. Threatened, shouted they were going to cut his throat and began to advance upon him with drawn knives, and at this juncture Officer Tew interrupted with drawn club and soon began to make a bass drum out of every head within reach. He was assisted by Sheriff Edwards, who waded into the crowd and noses. When the battle was finally ended by a flag of truce carried by another gathering of delegates, blood was flowing from many faces. A little bit of truth properly inserted in a great big lump of falsehood will cat it up. The Southern whites want it to be known and believed that they are "better than other men," and they might succeed if the little bit of truth would be kind enough to keep out of the great big lump of falsehood, but it cannot be coaxed or bullied nor purchased into being kind enough to do any such thing. We would not respect it if it should. The meat production, it is said, will never be greater than now, and therefore prizes will never be less. The Government experts advise people to eat less meats and more fish. Of course, fish is not meat. It is said that native Americans have not learned how to prepare and eat fish, and that only our foreign neighbors can do it. It may be so. One consolation is left us: The wheat crop promises to be a hummer—nine hundred_million bushels! All honor to J. Hampton Moore! The nation needs more men of like, courage in both branches of Congress, where 'labour unions' and 'race and color prejudice' tyranny has the Democratic party and the Nation' strangled by too much cowardice, too much rank demagogy. "The race and color prejudice reptile" extends through the labor union organizations in most bread winning occupations and in most of the States. "No Negro need apply" is written across the door of every private business-house-and-public-corporation, because white unionists, male and female, will not work side by side with black-and-colored ones. In the Southern States it is far worse than in the others, as the signs, backed by law and white public opinion, bar black and colored people out of most employments controlled by labor unions, and out of "all privileges and immunities" of citizens controlled by the State, the county, the city and the town. Separation of races runs through everything, from the ballot box to the chain-gangs and from the church to the graveyard, with one law for black and off-end black and another law for white and off-end white, perverting and corrupting justice in every direction. With State and Federal law and ruling white public opinion arrayed against them, the colored people have a hard and difficult task set them, practically as the Hebrews had in old Egypt, to "make brick without straw," to do something put of and with nothing, and that they are bending to the task heroically and succeeding manfully is the marvel, the wonder of the times, to friends as well as foes. THE BEGREGATION AND "SOCIAL EQUALITY" HOWL. When a white man decides to do anything whatever under the sun, nothing will restrain him, short of a live miracle, something he can see and feel and can be made to respect, the miracle often having to take the physical form of knocking death into him, that he may see life and his neighbor's rights from the proper view point. The bare question of right, of justice, seldom enters into his calculation; his desires dominate him, his thought and his conduct. He is a Sinite, pure and simple, harnessed to his brother Desirite. He does not care who has the object he desires, as far as race, color and condition affect it; he goes after it with all the reported subtlety of the serpent, who made trouble for himself and Adam and Eve and the rest of their race. Although the Supreme Court of North Carolina has declared urban segregation of the races unconstitutional, and questioned the power of the legislature to enact a segregation law that would stand the test of Federal Court interpretation, and although the best sentiment among the white citizens of North Carolina appears to be opposed to further agitation of the question, Mr. Clarence Poe, the editor of the Progressive Farmer, insists that rural segregation is good and necessary for both races, and is keeping the newspaper editors and other thinkers of the state stirred up and talking back at him. Much exasperation appears in the talkfest. U. C. V. TO HONOR WARTIME SLAVES. At the recent meeting of the United Confederate Veterans, Association, held in Jacksonville, Fla., the resolutions which follow were proposed by Robert E. Lee Camp, No. 1726, of Eastman Ga., and unanimously adopted. Whereas, we observe from year to year with great sadness of heart that by reason of the merciless ravages of time and disease the rank and file of our beloved Confederate Veterans become notably thinner and more enfeebled each year than they were at their reunion, the year before, all pertaining surely as fate that very soon the roll call, even with the roll on this side of fame's eternal camping grounds; and. Wheras, during the great war struggle in which they with their comrades in arms fought for their rights as no warriors ever fought before, their Negro slaves at home continued steadily to work and serve with a loyalty to the world, taking sacred care (with so few exceptions) of the property and families of their absent masters; and, Wheras, we, who remain deem it fitting and proper before we pass from the scenes of this life to join the great silent majority, to bear public testimony for ourselves and our children of our sincere appreciation and soulful gratitude these, our former slaves said a friend of ours, our fellow slave did thus exemplified. Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the Dodee County Confederate Veterans of Camp No. 1726, in annual reunion assembled at Eastman, Ga., do hereby tender to our former slaves, many of whom have already passed to the reward that awaits the true and faithful, our sincere thanks and heartfelt appreciation, for the unending sacrifice shown in our absence in the war between the States during the trying days of the early sixties. We it further Dr. Poe insists that the mulatto population is on the increase, and shows that it is so by statistics, and that the only way to prevent it and save the white man is to segregate the black man. The increase of the mulattoes from 11 per cent. in 1850 to 20 per cent. in 1910, in North Carolina. Dr. Poe thinks, "should stagger humanity and compel an awakening of all our people," but it does not. "The time to stop blood amalgamation is just before it is begin; just after it is begun the time is forever too late. It begins to look to us as if Dr. Poe needs segregation more than North Carolina needs Dr. Poe. Resolved, That this camp urge that the general reunion of Confederate Veterans to meet in Jacksonville, Fla., on May 7 and 8, 1914, take such steps as may prove most effective in securing the support of the Shaft or other permanent memorial at the capitals of each of the former slaveholding States to commemorate the good deeds of loyalty shown by the war-time slaves of the South, and request the Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta Journal and Macon Telegraph to publish, and also to copy to Gen. P. M. C. V., general commanding U. C. V. Finally, he it After awhile, if the drift of public opinion and legislation does not radically change, the entire nation will be subordinated to and governed by a labor union, or a confederation of them. That is to say, the National tail will wag the National head the way it should or should not go. As it is now, all the business interests of the nation are gagged by labor unions and legislation favoring them. Everything that people should be left free to initiate and do, that has to do with the making and spending of a dollar, of making and eating their daily bread, is shaped by labor union interests and whipped into law by labor union dictation. It is a painful truth that there is nothing too good under the sun, that too much of it may not become disgusting or dastrous. This is especially true in matters of civil government. The time came in Israel when ecclesiastical laws were so multiplied that the individual could do nothing except by law, so that the life of the people as individuals and as a nation was gradually undermined and destroyed; Rome ceased to be a power at home and a tyrant abroad when laws were dictated by the hungry populace, or the greedy contractors. Too much government, too much restriction of personal rights, will kill any people or government. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our minutes and published in both our local newspapers. Be it further. No longer. That R. E. Lee Camp No. 1726 pledge ourselves to aid in every possible way to have said memorial erected. Unless we are greatly mistaken, we believe that the adoption of these resolutions by the United Confederate Veteran Association will be regarded as a significant evidence of the arrival of the day of better things, in their relations between black and white men in the South. The general tendency of trust legislation by Congress and by State legislatures has been a restriction of business interests at the dictation of labor unions and at the expense of the general public, who pay all the costs of the war between capital and labor, because the demagogic politicians shape the laws so that it shall be so. Business men no longer control their own affairs; when the labor union does not control them directly Federal or State commissions do so. For instance, a railroad may not do anything, from floating a necessary bond issue or discharging a coal heaver to providing iceed water and individual paper cups for thirst passengers without consulting a State or Federal law regulating the matter. For our part, we regard it as a significant thing that a huge organization, such as the Confederate Veterans Association, assembled in a Southern city, should pass these resolutions, and we are all the more pleased that such papers as the Jacksonville Times Union, should, so unintentionally, editorially approve the action here taken. Why should not the living-times be hard, and money scarce when business men can do nothing without consulting a Government Commission or irresponsible labor union! No wonder the export and import trade has fallen off in so far that a treasury deficit and a forced bond issue are predicted as soon as possible for the Wilson Administration! When the Clayton Anti-Trust bill was under consideration in the House of Representatives, June-1, the amendment exempting farmers and labor organizations from prosecution was adopted by a vote of 207 to 0; that is to say, farmers and labor organizations are not to be construed as "combinations in restraint of trade," and that "pencable strikes, boycotts and picketings" are lawful. Representatives of the labor organizations sal in the gallery of the house while the bill was under consideration. In replying to a taunt as to where he stood, Congressman J. Hampton Moore, Republican of Pennsylvania, said, shaking his finger at the gallery: PRAISE FOR COLLECTOR: AN- DERSON: It is a most unusual thing for the highest public officials to be editorially praised in the New York newspapers even once a week, but when an official is praised editorially twice in the same week it argues that that official is carving a niche altogether worth while for himself and for the government in whose behalf he works. "I should feel myself despicable indeed if I stood here as a Representative of the people and voted to exempt Samuel Gompers or Frank Morrison or any of the others up there in the gallery from the operation of the criminal laws of the country and made a special class of them, or any hundred of them." I would not exempt John D. Roskefeller' from the operation of the criminal laws, nor would I exempt Andrew Carnegie; but before and within the law I would hold each man responsible for his own acts, the man who employed—and the man who was employed alike. I would not make fish of one and fowl of the other. During this week, Collector C. W. Anderson; of the second Internal Revenue District, has been the recipient of two such editorial praisings. The New York Press says: "And if it be a crime, in the presence of the labor representatives who have been in the galleries dictating legislation for the last ten days, to make this declaration, in favor of the rights of the workingmen of this country, regardless of union or non-union, then I stand convicted before them. But before the people and before my conscience I am grateful for the opportunity, to say that I would not vote for special legislation exempting crime, nor for the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kansas who is playing politics and who has been playing to the galleries from one end of this debate to the other." To organize and conduct the work of collecting the first annual income tax for the big and wealthy New York district is a big-m sized job. Internal Revenue Collector Charles W. Anderson, though short handed, has set this brand-new piece of Government machinery moving with few serious complaints, and so far, with none of them from disgusting big business secrete by temporarily engaged and uncontrollable Government employees. Mr. Moore, answering a question by Mr. Murdock, admitted that he was not present yesterday" when the vote, was taken on the exemption amendment. Out of 208 members in the Chamber, 207 voted, for the proposal, and one did not vote at all. "I think the 207 run away like a flock of sheep," said Mr. Moore. "They were terrorized—too much, terrorized to do the business of this country for a hundred million people, rather than for the gentlemen who seem to hold the House in the hollow of their hands." Lest some leak concerning the incomes of the district's business men or corporations should occur. Collector Anderson, when the additional temporary work of collecting the income tax was imposed upon his bureau, refused to engage outside help for his regular cashier department, believing he could contain permanent men alone to keep the income tax secrets of the district's big business. The short-handedness of the Collector's overworked cashier department has made the issuing of receipts for income taxes a somewhat tardy process: Many income tax payers are critical and irritated by the delay. Collector Anderson's bureau should be slow in issuing receipts than that uncontrolled persons temporarily employed should get an opportunity to misuse some large taxpayer's business secrets. Not to be outdone the New York Evening Sun also praises him in unstinted language for the fine record he has made in conducting the government's business in connection with the collection of the present income tax. The Sun says: All persons obligated to pay the income tax should heed the request of Mr. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the lower New York district, that they send in the amount of their assessments by certified check, and in no instance by cash. If the taxpayer has confusion to the office "force and dissatisfaction to taxpayers, because the latter have sometimes been unable to obtain immediate receipts. Mr. Anderson, very properly points out that no cash transaction is entirely safe unless an immediate, receipt is forthcoming, but so great is the rush of business that clerks could not always receive the payment. He explains that he cannot add to his present force under his appropriation, and especially would he have difficulty in securing satisfactory help, since the work must be wound up on June 30; therefore, by far the most expeditions and least hazardous method is for all assessed persons to make payments as suggest. Where this is not possible, he suggests that he cash, but this adds greatly to the difficulties of the collection by interfering with serial classification. All citizens who make returns to the lower Manhattan Bureau should help along the work of the staff to the extent of making out checks and having them certified, for this office is the most important tax list, and its returns so far have differed from other bureaus in notably surpassing Government estimates. The labors of the force are too heavy to be interrupted continually by demands for prompt receipts. But using the certified check, the taxpayer secures himself with such promptness he has an indisputable receipt in case, through some clerical fault, his regular receipt is omitted. Collector Anderson has been as fortunate in winning the praise of the government connection with the income tax as he was in collecting the corporation tax for the government four years ago. The Ullon, John E. Hedges does not believe in the old saws that lightning never strikes in the same place twice and that the limb of a tree from which a person is hanged is withers. He wants to be, the Republican candidate for Governor of New York this year, although he was defeated two years ago by Mr. William Sulzer, Mr. Hedges is a very good Republican and a wit, but it is doubtful if the Republican nomination will hit him again. St, James Church in Harlem To the Editor of The Ace: Permit me to make the following statement concerning the New York Presbytery and St. James Presbyterian Church. The Presbytery granted the congregation of St. James the privilege of locating in Harlem anywhere from West 1320 and East 1320, and Seventh avenues in accordance with the wishes of the officers of the church, and instructed its financial aid to the amount necessary for the erection of a sainthood church building. Aside from Mr. Wilcox, who was the presbytery owner, Association, two members of the presbytery asked only for a careful consideration of the situation of St. James Church might suffer from the action of the presbytery in the matter. There was not even a warm response. The Presbytery furthered the note of its previous session without a dis W. R. LAWTON Sailing Under False Colors. To the Editor of The Age: Knowing your readiness to place before your readers facts upon which the intelligent may reach substantial conformation, you must be current matters. I am herewith submitting for your consideration and for publication, the following letter, to the President, with his secretary to the President, with some further facts shearing on correspondence had between Novro Democratica and City Administrations and City Administrations, and the President, of which Mr. "Chief" Wood was no part whatsoever, and the making, his letter in a local issue issued under date of June 10, 1914, and letter purporting to come from an unauthorized standing. The letter to Mr. Tumulty I am herewith enclosing a clipping from a Negro newspaper of this city of local-circulation, issue of June 10, 1914, which purports to be a copy of the newspaper which in alleged correspondence with the President is assumed and built up. But for the deliberate misstatement of fact contained therein, would not trouble me with note. There appears to be two objects in view by the writer and Tampany boss, now struggling for life in the gras of the Negro anti-Tamman, Stalwart, of the Dairy District, Malone, Collector of Customs, of the Port of New York, who appears to be able to care for himself, and an effort to give the impression that ALL Negro Democrats, in Greater New York, Hall. To quote: "Our organizations include all colored Democrats in New York." AISOLUTELY UNTRUE. To quote further: "In New York County, where we are strong, we are more than five thousand and vowers." A BRAZEN MISSTATEMENT OF FACT. There are more than five thousand enrolled *NEGro Democrats* in *New York County*—very true—but less are followers of the Tammany Hall. There are some among who have political *standing* both nationally and locally, who also have more courage, and who have more experience in the protecting wing of the Tammany Buzzard, even though the political wind be chill and the shaking of the political plum tree for we be far distanced. In conclusion, permit me to state, that this alleged correspondence with the President contains one statement by the President, under date of May 26, 1914, to *wilk*: that Negro Democrats of this State, and the country at large, are greedfully chagrined and disappointed in the treatment of Democrats, both Nation and local. These facts are submitted for your information. I have the honor to remain, and the perfectly yours, (Signed). ROBERT LEWIS WARING Now, Mr. Editor, comes the history of the protest-which our great "Chief" attends to today. 28, 1914, forwarded to the President of the United States, and to The New York-Ark. and other New York newspapers, for their information, a letter written in the government of Negro Democrats by the National and New York City Administrations, which letter can be had by any good Democrat upon application to the mayor, but not for publication, reply not for publication, at this time. However, what others have had to say, who are close to the President, relative to his intention to appease the hungers in the land, and our great "leader" Chief,"etc., has been awakened from a profound slumber by the Editor of the paper in question, who has been asked to think that he must do something—must come across with <u>well with</u> a letter to the President. They made a fatal mistake, however, in 1814 two days after my letter was in their hands and also in the hands of the President and hundreds of other persons, thereby borrowing brains and stultures, like Jack-daws in pea-shell fathers. Their alleged correspondence with the President is very disappointing. Mr. Editor, such as our present lead-in, Respectfully, yours. ROBERT LEWIS WARING.

The people of Autumn are proud to honor this woman of courage who rendered such wonderful service to her people and her country. We erect this tablet, to her memory as a heroine and patriot and it is with a feeling of pride that we will unveil this tablet to her memory. This point the lights in the house were dimmed and Miss Alice Lucas, a grandmother of Aunt Harriet, stepped forward and drew back the flag. In the light of the colored electric bulbs the officer was most pleasing. Autumn is the Mayor who will speak for the Mayor who will introduce Mayor Master who was greeted with praise. He spoke as follows: Mayor Brister's Remarks. By the occasional illuminating glashes of greatness originating from unexpected and often times obscure sources, we continually reminded that in the divine conception of the universe, the divine nature of the human race. We therefore teaches us that the attribute of courage and a conviction of duty toward humanity have very little relevance to race, creed or color, that great creeds always develop great leaders in the pursuit of their difficulties. In accepting this tablet today the City of Vienna recognizes the merit of her to those memory. It is dedicated in accepting this tablet we read: "In the way our belief that in the universe a character shall be recognized by its true intended purpose is its origin or its surroundings." Indulge in luxury and irresponsibility in the character builders; only by contact with difficulties can be shown the need of which mankind is made. The need of which mankind is made carries with it a consciousness and a conviction of right develops an element of character which must be the measure of the man. Measured by such a standard, the woman whose memory is today honored with the great characters on history. Being convinced of a great wrong to her people, and having learned from experience a possible way to overcome in a measure the effect of that wrong, Harriet Tulman Davis devoted her life to what desolations or privations were meant to her work, it still went on. No matter what judicious decisions were rendered against her, nor what rewards were offered for her apprehension the work was on. No matter if her freedom were in jeopardy, or her life were at stake, still the work went on. "The spirit of devotion to her race, the skill displayed in carrying out her purpose and the success achieved won for her not only the admiration of the great man of her own time, but a not monastic place in the hall of tithe." "Not because the subject of this memorial was a woman, nor because she was black, is this tribute tendered, but rather to commemorate the inherent greatness of her character. In recognition of the unsusilish devotion caused by humanity does the City of Adburn accept this tablet dedicated to her memory." "Born as she was in the obscurity of slavery and bound by its shackles, the memory of this woman should be an object of preference to every member of her race, and the example in her life to oversee our great nation." Dr. Washington Praises Harriet Tubman. DF Washington in opening his remarks at Alburn for the way in which he was commemorating the life of his woman. He spoke of the sorrow, hardships and dangers that she had endured and said that he had experienced some of them. He also mentioned the poverty he had known what poverty was and had known what is meant of black skin. He said that Harriet Tubman had been spoken of by some as being ignorant that, said he, "coming in contact with people and the realities of life, one and through her coming in contact with people and problems that she was one of in the world." DF Washington spoke of Alburn and its immediate vicinity as having produced many great men. He lauded Stewart and others and paid a showing attitude to Miss Emily Howland of Shewwood who has done much for the colored people and although 57 years old he opened a box and was one of the few interested among the audience. He politically the great act increment that the Negro had made in America. Negro Much Misjudged. The Tuskegee said that many ah-ha-tats and the Neuro race by their hands and never learned the battle of the better ones. He said in last I desire to the face to which I wish to express my deep interest to the Auburn Business Women Association of the Citrus County Historical Society and citizens of the city, for their generosity and liberation, for the memory of the residents of Newark, and for this beautiful and fitting tablet in one of your public buildings, the most fitting and proportionate point of view that the name of Harriet Tubman should be perpetuated by means of this tablet so that our memory and deeds can live as a memorial and hearts of the present generation can be held up as an artifact that follows. Harriet Tubman was a unique and great character of a true hero and any age should be here in the city where she was a part of her life, and her body rests, is the place of her life where this tribute of love should be expressed. The Auburn had a chance to better than the citizens of the community. Indeed, she should not without honor in being. The people of Western New York have been the people of any other section of our country in honor of the great character of our race. You will here in the beautiful city you stand a monument erected by members of the great race. Frank Bolton and here you are placing this memorial to honor another great character of our race. Section Rich in Heroic Souls. A section of our country is richer in great heroic souls who believed in liberty than all the people. This is true in Western New York. As I speak to myself, I cannot forget that here lived the secretary of state who stood by Abraham Lincoln—William H. Seward. In this section lived: Susan H. Anthony. This region was the home for a long period of time of Frederick Dourkis, and here we have lived, with the home of Harriet Tubman. We need not limit, however, the names or places of those who have passed away. As I speak to you tonight, I cannot forget that, near this same community lives in the person of Miss Emily Howland a woman who through her generosity and interest in all that contains my race has endeared herself to, this woman, and that characters have blazed the way and have made the work of those who are left behind much easier, than it otherwise would have been. You, then, should count yourselves rich in the possession of the memory of so many people who have done their part in bringing freedom and prosperity and union to our country. "I will not attempt to 'dwell upon the details of the life of Harriet, Tubman. These you know better than I. Here was a simple life, a simple mind. Without thought of ambition or praise, without thought of her duty as she saw it. There is great power in simplicity. There is no limit to the good that one soul that is really, in earnest can accomplish. In her simplicity, her modele, her commensure, her devotion to duty, she is a great person. In the present generation of all races might strive to emulate. In the 10,000,000 of black people scattered throughout this country there are many great souls, heroic souls, the true race, the true race about, the true race brought the two races neuer together and made it possible for the white race to know the black race, to place a different estimate 'upon it. In too many sections of our country the white man knows a criminal law, the law-abiding Negro; he knows much of the worst types of our race, he does not know enough of the best types of our race. Much Work Ahaad. These great anti-slavery heroes not only wrought, the freedom of the Negro race, but they did more; they freed the white race, and finally freed the enslaved. One race free we have two races in the South that are free, and we have two sections of our great country that are no longer engaged in snrife but much more engaged in but much more engaged in all that is best and noblest, in the life of the nation. "All, however, is not done. There are many battles still to be fought, many problems still to be solved, and there is a call for heroic work such as Harriet Tubman our community. There remains a duty for each of us. We must not despair, because Harriet Tubman did not when great serious, perplexing problems confront us, whether these problems are local or nationwide. We must thank God for problems, and proportion as problems come to us for solution that if we face them manfully and heroically that we are made stronger and betterby reason of performing our duty. As Harriet Tubman did her duty, may each in his own way that the pan and follow it, no matter where it leads.

Jackson, a little 15-year-old girl, who is the first pupil to finish the complete course, of study mapped out by” Miss * Miss Jackson made her debut in an ambitious program, one calculated to tax the ability of ‘a more mature stu- dent. Among her numbers she essayed +Coleridge-Taylor’s ‘transcription of the Negro spiritual, “Steal Away”; two technical studies in denionstration of her physical development, andthe Hun- arian Rhapsody, No. 2, by Lisst. ‘The work done by the little girl can- not be judged from the same standpoint ais would be that of a finished performer who has attained full. maturity. The child is still a student, and will have to undergo along: course of hard and fith- fal endeavor before she can hope to be called a finished pianiste. But she gives promise. She has had the benefit of ‘capable direction by a qualified teacher, and there is every reason to believe’ that a continuance of effort and study will bring most commendable results. The little miss has splendid technique and much musical understanding. It is to be hoped that her parents will not be misled by popular adulation" into a de- aire to “show her off,” and thus develop a large bump of self-conceit. If that is done the child will probably think she has learned all'there is to learn and that will be the end of her development. * On’ the contrary, if she‘is encouraged to study and given a realization of the fact that her musical career is at Its Very threshold, Helen Jackson will un- doubtedly become a musician of power and accomplishment. She seems to be modest and unassuming, and if the large audience-assembled for the exercises af- fected: her nerves, she gave no outward sign,” The one cricitism I would, make in. this particular is that it would’ be in good taite to have the fingers free of ings, especially rings’ in which are set glittering jewels~- The flash or glimmer froma jewel on the finger, if it doesn’t distract the player's attention, will cer- tainly catch an duditor’s eye and .at- tract interest that otherwise would be given to the music. Supporting artists on the program were Mme. Lee-Strother,*oprano, of New York, a sister to Miss Lee, and Jacob Pease, ‘celloist Mme, Das Stsother sang Tosti's “\Good-Bye,” and Mr. Pease played “Wie einst in schén- -er'n Tagen," by ‘Popper. Mr. Pease gave a splendid rendition and main- tained the high artistic standard which has been sét in his annual recitals. Mme. Lee-Strother ‘acted as mistress of cere- monies throughout the evening. and it may be that her duties interfered with her vocal poise. She has'2 good voice, but hardly did justice to herselef on Tosti’s ballad. An orchestra composed of Mr, Le Garee, violin; R. F’ Douge, clarionet; Jacob Pease, ‘cello; Fred Gaines, cornet, and Mrs, F. A. Taylor, piano, opened the program with “The Bridal Rose Overture.” Pupils from the classes who assisted were Beattice Allen, Euclid Ghee, Raymond Lawrence, Ber- tha. Link, Mamie Prince, Celestine Smith and Marion Smith, Little Sarah Raynes, who is being instructed by Miss Jackson, played a duet with her instruc~ tress, Beautiful floral tributes were given to Miss Jackson and 13 Miss Lee.

With Miss Mitchell singing Mr, Cook's compositions and the-latter pre- siding at the piano, they always furnish a tare treat to those who love music The engagement of these two clever people at the Lafayette Theatre this week is a most successful one. : Next to S.
