The New York Age IN 15YEARS HAVE REC'D FORTUNE More than $21,000 Paid Morris and Wife in Salary, Interest, Etc. The Report Is That Morris Will Repudiate Any Agreement Made with Jones, Throwing Him Overboard CHICAGOANS DENOUNCE G.M. Say That Propositions Sponsored by Morris Are Treachery to Order—Ticket Formulated by Morris in Case Election Is Forced To Be Held. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 1.—The latest development in the Odd Fellow situation seems to be that Edward H. Morris, grand master, has repudiated his supposed-agreement with Ed. Jones of Mississippi; and purposes at Boston to throw Jones completely overboard. It is declared on good authority that Morris has framed up his ticket for the Boston meeting of 'the B. M. C., and it is believed that if he can possibly do so, he will shove the following ticket through, majority or no majority. Edw. H. Morris, gand master; W. D. Brown, deputy gand master; J. F. Needham, grand secretary; Geo. W. Mays, grand treasurer; J. C. Johnson, grand director; J. H. Wilson, grand director; L. N. Porter, grand director; A. T. Shirley, grand director W. W. Law- rence, grand director. Another opinion, and it seems to be well founded, is that the grand master will prefer to follow his Atlanta action and adjourn the B M C. without an election. It seems positively certain that Ed Jones will - and - betrayed by Morsell in office. Odd: Fellows Preparing to Fight. The long delayed struggle to save the property and liberties of the members of the Order will undoubtedly come to a head at the Boston meeting. From all appearances the members are awakening to the condition of the Order and are courageously preparing to battle for their rights. A thousand Odd Fellows here in Chicago, who know Morris, have been asking for a long time the question asked for the Philadelphia Odd Fellows as to what Morris done for the Order, but have received no answer. Great indignation has been aroused among the Odd Fellows in this city by the receipt of the special circulars, containing the propositions advanced by the Hutchinson Lodge, which is Morris's lodge. Especially loud are they in denunciation of the proposition which would transfer to England the power of settling cases arising among the lodges in this country. "Many Chicago members unhesitatingly denounce the propositions as treachery to the Order. Over $20,000 Paid to Morris and Wife. While it has, not been possible to get an answer to the question, "What has Morris done for the Order," it is easy to do out what the Order has done for Morris. During the last fifteen years of the twenty-two in which Morris has been connected with the Sub-Committee of Management, it is estimated that he has received considerably more than $9000 in salary, expenses, commission and interest paid his wife on a loan when she made to the Order when the Philadelphia headquarters were constructed. As grand master from 1899 to 1902, Morris received as salary $2,240 as commission on loan from his wife, he took $900 he received an honorarium following the Richmond B. M. C. of $500; for getting out the edition of the general law, unauthorized, he collected $300; for a trip to England, which was not authorized by the B. M. C. he received for expenses, $300; for travelling expenses as grand master, 1899 to 1902, (Continued on Page 6.) NATIONAL-CONGRESS OF DOCTORS IN RALEIGH Special to THE NEW YORK ACK RALEIGH, N.

Those who heard Governor Craig's address, say it was the best speech they have ever heard him deliver. He captured his audience, not alone in oratory, but in warm words of welcome and sound advice to the doctors and laymen. He was followed by the mayor of the city, Hon. James J.

GEORGE-BATES RE-ELECTED Order Owns $49,657 and Has Paid out in Sick and Death Benefits During Year, $24,850-193 Lodges, with 18,000 Members. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 1. After a strenuous campaign covering several months, during which every artifice and plan known to shrewd and capable, political workers were tried, the claims of Armond W. Scott were passed over for the second time, and he was obliged to bow his head in obeisance to the banners of T. Gillis Nutter of Charleston, living in Virginia, was by a majority of nearly forty, electoral ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of the World in the fifteenth annual session held here in the Tents Hall, Church street, August 25-to 28. It was the second time Mr. Scott had contested Mr. Nutter's claim to the highest office of the Elk's national body, his defeat coming the first time by a bare majority of five. A bitter campaign was waged, and much feeling was generated among the best people on earth both before and during the session. But all expression of contention was collined to verbal gymnastics; there was no physical demonstration of differences of opinion. Fight on Negro Elks About Stopped. The session was one of the most encouraging ever held. It developed from reports that it is almost a practical certainty that the light waged in the past by white Elks to stop the Negro Elks from using the title would be stopped. There is only one case pending, in Ohio, and that is waiting a rehearsal which was postponed at request of the white lodges. In the meantime, an injunction has put an estopat to interference with the colored lodges while this rehearing is pending. The grand secretary's report shows that the Order is in possession of real estate to the value of $19,657. During the past year sick benefits have been paid to members to the amount of $14,725, while $10,125 were paid in death benefits. The membership approximates 18,000, and there are 193 lodges in the United States and West Indies. The largest local lodge in point of membership is the O. V. Cattio Lodge, No. 20, Philadelphia, which has a membership of 456. Fourteen Elks Bands in Parade. In the grand parade more than 5,000 men were in line, and fourteen Negro bands, all Elks' bands, furnished the music. Besides there were thirty-five to forty autos and carriages with the officers and ladies. Lodges that were commended for splendid appearance were the O. V. Catto Lodge, the Royal Lodge, No. 77 of Petersburg, and the Eureka Lodge, No. 5, of Norfolk. A platoon of mounted police from the Norfolk police force headed the procession, and at each cross street policemen were stationed to prevent any traffic crossing while the Elks parade was in motion. Norfolk daily papers say it was the first parade ever seen in this town. The attitude of the white people of Norfolk, both officials and private citizens, was cordial and friendly. At the hall, given in the armory of the Virginia National Guard, which had not been opened to Negroes before, a number of the leading white citizens were present and occupied the street. Excursions were given to entertain the visiting delegates to Buckroe Beach, Hampton and other points nearby. After a warm wind spirited contest between Boston, Atlantic City and Chicago, the grand lodge, decided by a good vote to hold the next session in Chicago, Ill. George Bates Paid High Compliment. A splendid compliment was paid to the grand secretary, George E. Bates of Newark. Mr. Bates was re-elected to his fourth, consecutive term of service, on a suspension of the rules, by a unanimous vote by acclamation. Other officers for the ensuing year are James T. Carter of Richmond, Va. grand treasurer; Stewart Hoyt of Boston, esteemed leading knight; J. H. Starkey of Cleveland, grand esteemed loyal knight; Wm. H.

Certain other letters have presented more extensive scientific analysis, but have confined the discussion to particular themes from whom Rum is in literary quality, but lacking in logical progression and care in the statement of facts. The letter below (Mr. Fisher's) sums up the facts about Rum with admirable comprehensiveness and a telling directness of style, and offers some remarkably sane suggestions." Isaac Fisher is a Negro; and every colored man, woman and child may proudly say: "He is one of us."

PHOTOS FROM SEVEN STATES Fourteen Photographs Are Shown This Week, a Varied Assortment 7 STATES REPRESENTED Louisiana and California Have Each Sent Representatives to Vie with Northern and Eastern Sisters. Letters of Endorsement and Approval Accompany Many of the Photos and there is no discordant Note in the Chorus: If any evidence was needed as to the general interest excited in THE AGE'S Beauty Contest the reproduction of photographs in this week's issue would furnish it. So many photographs have been received that it has been found necessary to increase the number reproduced this week to fourteen instead of six. Not only are these reproductions interesting because of the variety of types shown, but also because of the range of territory covered. Last week showed pictures of ladies living in various States from Massachusetts to Oregon; this week seven States are represented. The Empire State furnishes seven representatives, and the other six States are Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Iowa, Indiana, Louisiana and California. There is infinite variety and the most captious critic From Philadelphia, Pa. will find some type of beauty to please his fancy among the many charming faces pictured in the columns of this paper this week. Contest Is Approved by the People. There has, with hardly an exception, been no disapproval of the purpose and object of this contest. Each day brings a quota of photographs, many of which are accompanied by letters which speak most complimentarily of the effort to show the world the development physically and mentally of the Negro woman. A sample of the letters received is as follows: "Please enter these photos in the Beauty Contest, because I feel as if the Flower City should be recognized in your grand and noble attempt to show to the world that we, as a race, have some of the most beautiful women the sun has ever shown." Photos Will Be Held Till-Contest Closes. It must be remembered that in no manner or way does the publishing of the photos in the columns of this paper mean that those photos are selected as winners in the contest. The photos are selected each week from the large number received simply to show the various styles and types of race beauty, and to show the interest which is being shown in the efforts of this paper to discover the "CHOSEN FIFTYTH" MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN or THE NEGRO RACE IN AMERICA. The indications now are that not a section of the country will be unrepresented when the contest closes on September 21. Several requests have been made for the return of photographs which have been reproduced, under the mistaken impression that the photographs were finished with. It should be clearly understood that the pictures are to remain in the hands of the beauty contest editor until the close of the contest, September 21. All the photos received will then be turned over to the board of judges, which is to consist of twelve representative, capable and disinterested men and women, who will have a week in which to make their selection of the "Chosen Fifteen." The photos will then be returned to the contest editor, and all photos for which the return postage has been sent will be carefully wrapped and mailed to the parties from whom received. At the opening of the mammoth Au- tival in New York on September 28 the "Chosen Fifteen" will be announced, as will also the "Judges' decision, as to the most beautiful girl or woman in Greater New York" or vicinity within a radius of twenty miles. No person connected with THE age or with the company promoting the Festival "The National Exhibition and Amusement Co., will have anything whatever 'to do with the awards. The Festival will continue five nights, and on Thursday night, October 1, enlarged reproductions of the "Chosen Fifteen" will be on exhibition. Every person attending on that night will receive as a souvenir a handsome folder in which will be printed beautiful half-tone pictures of the "Chosen Fifteen." A solid gold bar pin, suitably engraved, will be awarded each of the "Chosen Fifteen," and to the most beautiful woman or girl of New York and vicinity will be awarded, in addition, a solid gold la valliere and neck chain, appropriately inscribed. Send in photos plainly marked with name and address, not for publicity, but to insure identification in case of award, and send in the best photographs possible. Photos which cannot be identified will not be entered in the contest. THE RENDEZVOUS OF DISTINGUISHED MEN Special to This New York Age. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 2—Among the many changes in the hostelries and cafes at the National Capital in recent years none is of more interest than the recent removal of the famous Gray's restaurant from its old location in E PETER H. street up to town of 636 D-street, northwest, down in the business district of Washington, within a stone's throw of all the court houses and just across the street from the great stores of Saks, Kaun and Lansburgh. Within a square of this new location there are also six of the city's large banking houses. The new cafe is in a splendid courtyard building, all of which is occupied and used for the enlarged business which the proprietor has undertaken under the most excellent and encouraging auspices. No colored man is better known in the business life of Washington than James W. Gray, who has projected this enterprise that means so much to the people of Washington as, well as to the colored people who visit the national capital in large numbers throughout the year. During the many years that it occupied the building next to the National Theatre uptown, Gray's restaurant was a rendezvous for all of the distinguished Negroes who came to Washington. There one could always and the best accommodation and the best service a restaurant could give. His cooks were always among the best and its cuisine deservedly had a national reputation for excellence in the preparation of the most toothsome meals. James W. Gray himself was once the manager of the world's famous Chamberlain's club house, where cabinet officers, senators, congressmen, diplomats and millionaires ate and slept. He was with this establishment until it closed its doors, after the death of its proprietors. When he went into business for himself Gray carried with him the chamberlain methods of service, the chamberlain cooks and some of the chamberlain charges for refreshments. All of which helped his business intensely and gave his place a high reputation. No guest, man or woman, ever complained of a poor meal or of inferior service at Gray's. Men of all walks of life dined there. Bishops of the church and other distinguished Negroes who come to Washington so frequently have not hesitated to give testimony to the superior accommodations which this place offered to the traveling public. It was here, too, that Washington's brilliant banquets were generally given, and when newspaper men were called in to write up these reactions they always expressed surprise that a colored man had such an establishment. For several years Gray had for his partner his old friend Louis Costley. his partnership, however, was dis- solved many years ago. With his usual business acumen Gray concluded that his trade had outgrown the old building and that it would be the part of wisdom for him to get a larger one downtown. So now his establishment is in easy access to the professional men who congregate there or lunch at the noon hour as well as to the shoppers who throng this locality. The success of the enterprise always assured, if one may judge from the support which it is receiving even at this dull season of the year. Those interested in Negro business activities here are not only applauding his advanced effort on the part of its promoter, but are also giving it their substantial support. A place like Gray's is a necessity in Washington, where the lines are so strictly drawn against colored men in the matter of accommodations at the dinner table, meets a condition that the Negro is forced to confront in all parts of the country however wealthy or however astonished he may be. The Gray's safe deserves all of the success that in come to it. HINTON A CADIBATE ENGLEWOOD PRIMARY Special to The New York Times ENGLWOOD, N. J., Septer 2.

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.

The Republican party of the State of New York, at the recent State Convention at Saratoga voted in favor of the proposition to reduce Southern representation in the National Convention, as it was submitted to the States by the Republican National Committee for adoption or rejection. As New York has acted the Republican executive bodies of the other Northern and Western States will probably act. It is the logical course for them to do, based upon the abandonment of the Negro Republicans of the South in 1876, when fraud first became triumphant in American politics, as Mr. CHARLES A. DANA of the New York Sun, shrieked, because the Electoral Commission decided that SAMUEL J. TILDEN was not elected. President of the United States and that RUTHENFORD B. HAYES was, and that in face of the fact that the Democrats were given everything else that they were not entitled to as the result of the voting in the Southern States. They have since kept all that the Electoral Commission gave them, and gone steadily ahead with rollover of the civil and political rights of Negro citizens. Reduction of Southern representation in Republican National Conventions was bound to follow logically, sooner or later, loss of voting power that followed the systematic policy adopted by the Southern States of robbing the Negro citizens of their civil and political rights and privileges, and acquiesced in by the Republican party in the White House, and the Congress, so that there came a time in the administration of President McKINLEY, President ROOSEVELT, and President TART when Southern Democrats had more influence than Southern Republicans with the Republican party. The Negro Republicans of the South were not responsible for their wholesale delivery into the hands of the Southern Democrats, they did their duty, through intimidation and blood. The National Republican party, was responsible. The rule of injustice once established, the party has adhered to it from 1876 to the present, promising to culminate in the reduction of Southern representation in National conventions, although the Republican party finds itself so far outside the breastworks of power that it needs all it can muster to recover even an appreciable portion of what it has lost. DR. WASHINGTON BUSINESS A NEW POLICY FOR THE RACE One of the most significant and striking passages in Dr. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON's annual address, at the Muskogee meeting of the Mational Negro Business League, was the following, as published in THE AGE of August 20: I believe that the time has come when we as a race should begin preparing to enter upon a new policy and a new program. In plain but in emphatic words I want to suggest whether the time has not come when we should get off the defensive in things that concern our preset and future, and begin to inaugurate everywhere an aggressive and constructive progressive policy in business industry, education, moral and religious life and in our conduct generally. We must follow the teachings of the Master when he said, "Overcome evil with good." A general, however, able, who contents himself with merely holding the territory that lie occupies, or merely "devotes himself to defending [himself] against the assaults of the enemy, is not the general who gains renown for genuine leadership or gains the confidence of the world. A general who occupies a time in explaining the weakness of the enemy or the unjusts or tacities of the enemy is not the general who wins many battles; so it is in business of every kind. For example, the merchant who merely contents himself with holding his present trade without covering new ground in the way of increased patronage and trading in new territory, is not the merchant who gets much of a rating for success in the business world. The merchant again, who spends his time pointing out the weakness of another's business is not getting very far on the road to business. All the energy you have to "knock" with, all the energy you have to voice complaints, coin that energy into improved methods of handling your merchandise. And so with general race matters; damaging the other fellow does not push us forward. His damming us cannot permanently hold us back. The proper form of words in this suggestion is that the race should take up the offensive work as outlined by DF. WASHINGTON, which is laid aside sixteen years ago, because of the aggressive campaign of the Southern whites to segregate and negate the colored people, not only in politics, but in all of the relations of living and citizenship, and because of the attitude of acceptance by the Republican party of the "do nothing to provoke the South" policy, when the party was bound by its platform declarations and moral obligations, to protect the interests of its colored partisans to the extent of its power. These were sacrificed rather than protected in the administrations of Presidents McKINNEY, ROOSEVELT and TAFT. All the race groups in the population, as well as the industrial and commercial interests, look to the Government, State and National, for protection of life and property, aid to the party of their choice in particular when in power, to do so. The effort to read the Negro out of the politics of the country, and then outside the protection of the laws, in the vital matter of his life and property, has resulted in wholesale segregation of him, not only in the public service, but in his living districts, his wage occupations, his traveling accommodations, his business expansion outside certain districts; and where this has not been effected by law, public opinion, white public opinion, has taken the law into its own hands and undertaken to effect it by violence and intimidation. Lynch law and prison abuses have grown unchecked to be a part of the unwritten law of the Southern States and of many of the other States. In the absence of the protection of the State, or when the power of the State is directed against them, groups of the population are partitioned off, as the Russians segregate the Jews, and reservation off as the United States used to segregate the Indians, and do now in isolated cases, the segregated not being consulted about it or the terms of it. Given equal political rights, race groups cannot easily be segregated in any of the relationships of citizenship; of which "social quality" is no part, but of which separate marriage laws and discrimination in public places and on common carriers are parts; the opinion of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina to the contrary notwithstanding; he being in the class Col. ROOSEVELT has described as Judges who undertake to make as well as to interpret law. During the past sixteen years we have come upon a condition in which we are segregated in all directions by law and public opinion, in which we have made no systematic agitation to stem the concerted and diabolical purpose to make and brand us as a parish class, not good enough to live among and come into contact with other people, except as hired servants, and as hewers of wood and drawers of water, and even in these ways a disposition to displace us for foreign white help in rough work has made great headway and is still actively directed against us. The fact is as old as history and as repulsive as death, that if people or a group of people will tolerate invasion, sequestration or abrogation of their rights, in any government—tribal, patriarchal or State—without protesting in all lawful ways against it, they will finally be reduced to a helpless condition of oppression and service, such as American slavery was and British oppression in the East Indies is. One of the ablest journalists we ever knew, one who was with JOHN BROWN in the Kansas, once said to us that he did not believe there was a man living who could govern another-man justly without his consent. Certainly the Southern States have not done so with the Negro and the American Nation failed utterly to do with the Indian. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" now, and as it has been through the ages. It is a very wise and timely suggestion that Dr. WASHINGTON has made, namely: "Whether the time has not come when we should get off the defensive in things that concern our present and future, and begin to inaugurate everywhere an aggressive and constructive policy in business industry, education, and moral and religious life, and in our conduct generally." There is no negative side to the question; it is air positively affirmative. It is to be hoped that the race will take to it without reservation, but with the wisdom of experience, which has been a hard task master. AFRICAN TROOPS IN THE WAR The great war in Europe between France and its allies and Germany has proceeded thus far with more of slaughter than characterized the ancient wars, and even of the Japanese-Russian war, because larger armies are opposed and because the engineering of war is, more varied, powerful and destructive. The destructive power of machine guns is so great as to make waf' too horrible to be waged by civilized people. No marvel then that the shock of war horrors hastened the death of the aged Pope Pius and threatens the death of the aged Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, who drew the sword on little Servia and thus "let loose the dogs of war" that it is easier to unleash than to control. The readers of The Age are interested in every phase of the war, the same as all other Americans, and deplore the existence of it. If they favor one side more than another it is the French, because that people have less prejudice against Negroid people than Germany, and have been more generous in their treatment of the West, Indian and African natives of their colonies than Germany, or than any other country. It is a manifestation of the highest—and best in our frail human nature to sympathize with those who sympathize with us. Gen. Joseph Joffre, commander-in-chief of the French armies, has made several references in his official reports to the African troops in Belgium, where the brunt of the heavy fighting has been done. The latest dispatch is as follows: PARIS; Aug. 26.—The war office bulleim says: "Notwithstanding the fatigue of the three days' battle and the losses they have undergone, the morale of the troops is excellent; and they are auxious to resume the fighting. The outstanding incident on Sunday was the fight between Algerian and Senegalizee riflemen, the "Prussian guard, The South African soldiers hurled themselves with pain and the attack became a hand-to-hand combat, in which the guard suffered heavily. The German emperor's uncle, Gen. Gen. Prince Abalbert, was killed and his body taken to Charleroi." Whenever and wherever black soldiers are placed they fight with the same steadiness and intelligence as white soldiers. This is true of them in both ancient and modern wars. The French is the only government in Europe that appreciates this fact and makes the most of it in Africa and Europe. Great Britain comes next: Germany comes last. The German War Lord holds the Africans and Asiatics in supreme contempt, having sneered at the Japanese, and the Haytians alike; how the despised, Japanese have taken the offensive in driving the German power out of the Far East. "Whom—the gods would destroy they first make mad." Madness runs in the German Kaiser's family root and branch, and he has always carried his head high in the air, demeaning himself better than either on earth, white, black or yellow: The German people, outside the military caste, are among the best and most intellectual and moral people in the world, some of the best of them being citizens of the United States. What ever else may come out of the great war in Europe, except great increase of human sorrow and want, and national debts, a heavy burden upon the industry of the future, it looks as if the African troops in Europe will make a new hope of better conditions for their people in their African colonial Nations, as our own soldiers did for their people in our Great Civil War. KING_COTTON. STAGGERED. The war in Europe came upon the world so suddenly that all business interests were demoralized overnight, and have continued to become more so in the progress of the war, threatening the bread and butter of wage earners and the business interests, great, and small, of all sorts, in all lands. The extent of want and suffering possible cannot be estimated, even if a time limit could be fixed for the duration of the war, the armies confronting each other being so massive and the modern engineering of war being so destructive. Famine and pestilence follow in the wake of war. An illuminative example of the deadly influence war has upon all industrialism and business was furnished by the terrific slump in the price of American raw cotton. The week before the war, cotton spectators were talking loud and long about the bumper cotton crop we have and the high prices we ridden in the quotations, that prevailed. Cotton factors, and factors were all smiles over the situation all of prosperity for the year. All of them were in the height of their felicitation the following week when the war broke out in Europe, and by the closing of all the textile factories and the cutting out of the export of raw cotton, threw the whole vast cotton crop in excess of the home demand back upon the farmers and speculators. Our cotton raisers in the Southern States will suffer greatly, as others will, by the sudden turn the war has given to the cotton situation, and those who have raised cotton and neglected to raise the food supplies they need for their home use, with the expectation of making good by the high cost price for cotton and buying their food supplies, will suffer most. The home supplies should be the first consideration of our farmers. King Cotton is staggered. People cannot eat cotton. Our small farmers 'should bear this fact in mind. A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT The prize of five hundred dollars has just been given by the committee to Mr. ISAAC FISHER, a young colored man, who graduated at Tuskegee some years ago and is now the editor of *The Negro Farmar*; published at Tuskegee Institute. Mr. FISHER's article on "What We Know About Rum" is published in full in the September *Everybody's Magazine*. "We say again that this is a wonderful achievement and shows that a young man can do for himself, and what education will do for him. Young FISHER had a hard struggle to work his way through Tuskegee Institute, but he finally graduated at the head of his class, and is a scholar of whom the whole race should be proud. Mr. FISHER has never studied at any school except the Tuskegee Institute, but he has been a constant and persistent student since he graduated, especially of economic subjects. 'This prize won by a member of our race in the face of nine thousand competitors should put new heart into the race everywhere. We congratulate Mr. FISHER on his wonderful achievement: Sometimes later, we hope to publish all or the greater part of Mr. FISHER's essay. . A DEFEAT. Some narrow politician made an attempt to pass a bill through the Georgia Legislature which had for its object the preventing of white teachers from teaching in colored schools. The bill, we are glad to say, failed just as the bill with a similar object failed to pass the South Carolina Legislature. Great interest has been aroused among the people of New Jersey by the announcement that Dr. WASHINGTON and a party of prominent people would tour the State from Morristown to Bridgeton, September 7-9 inclusive. Dr. WASHINGTON having accepted an invitation to speak to the farmers and others on the betrayment of race conditions. People made their own environment what it is. Others cannot well make it for them. All but subjugated Negro settlements in the United States could understand that and develop the concept of environment they want, and they should want none than the best. The question of environment is stated with much force and eloquence by Mr. A. G. Shaw, in The Age last week, under the heading, "Environment no hindrance to Progress." So it is not; it should rather be an intensive. Mr. Shaw very truthfully says: "We may not find time for what we would like; but what we long, for and strive for with all our strength we usually reach." If our own is not the best ever, we should not be satisfied until we have made it so. DR. POE'S DENUNCIATION DENIED Somos, time ago the Daily News commented on the action of Clarence Poe. In severing his connection with the Southern Sociological Congress on the ground that the Congress was consciously or unconsciously, catering to the social equality idea. Among the differences are the brought to support the church were the affiliation that the races were mixed on the floor of the theatre where the meetings were held; that Negro ushers were, escorting white women to their seats; that Negro men were crowding, white women put of the best seats; that the community on the relations devoted to its time exclusively to the regents of the race problem. He closed by a demand for the separation of the races in the Congress and for the organization of another body for the Negroes. At the time the News expressed its amusement at the nature of Dr. Poe's charges, and his hope that the passage of the work would be more and more年月日 The same is strengthened by a letter from the general secretary of the Congress, James E. McCulloch, of Nashville, Mr. McCulloch included a copy of a letter he has addressed to Dr. Poe in regard to the matter under discussion. He de- Rehearsing the author has been misinformed throughout that his facts are distorted and his conclusions therefore altogether erroneous. It is true the letter states, that the delegates, white and Negro, sat on the same table, and were mixed. There was one section for the whites and another for the Negroes, with white ushers for the white delegates and black ushers for the negro section. It is true that the local committee wanted to put all the Negroes in the room, but the floor for the whites, but that was not in accordance with the custom of the Congress, and was furthermore impracticable, as the church in with the sessions were held had no balcony. -Iregarding the charge that Negroes were to their seats, Mr. McCullough says: to their seats, Mr. McCullough says: "Thursday afternoon, Dr. Bishop taught us how to work with T. Washington on the program to speak: The attendance was so large that the ushers had difficulty in seating them in the theatre, we told offwards that in this confusion a Negro usher tried to aid by explaining to some of the white people, our arrangement, how to sign several white ladies to find seats. They, however, were in the aisle that separated the white section from the rest of the audience, greatly regret this incident, it was merely a mishap, for I am quite confident that the Negro usher, a Baptist preacher, tried to assist under the circus, but the crowd was so large that "It is entirely erroneous to say that the Congress had Negro ushers to seat white people, or white ushers to seat white ladies, or white ladies to crowd out of the black seats by Negro men," for not a Negro ever sat in the sections reserved for white people, and no white ladies in the section reserved for colored people. 'As for the idea of separate congresses for the two races, Mr. McCullough points out that, one of the principal objects of this one is to seize co-operation of the races so such things as public health and law enforcement. It strikes us that 'Mr. McCullough has made out a pretty good case for the Congress. Somehow we cannot get white women sitting on the same floor with Negroes at a place like that. The meeting of the Congress was a scientific gathering, and Negro witnesses sit in the same floor in the Greenshore police court, and nobody thinks anything of it, for everyone knows that it is necessary for the South to have Negroes give their testimony; butting the case of a gathering of scientists white- women who object, to the same purpose, should stay away, just as they stay away from the police court.

Can Morris Stand for Re-election? It is not believed that Morris can legally offer for re-election, though it is declared as his purpose to do so. The law prohibits any member of the Sub-Committee from continuing in office more than four years, or two terms, except the grand secretary. Some have advanced the idea that Morris may attempt to claim only one-term of service because there was no election held at Atlanta. This would not hold water, much according to experts in Odd Fellow law. The following is the clause of the general-law concerning term of office: "The members of the Sub-Committee of Management shall not continue in the same office more than once, except the grand secretary."—Law 29, section 2, page 22, General Laws, Edition 1011. Chicago delegates to Boston say that the issue will be squarely presented to the delegates to decide whether the Order of Odd Fellows is an organization of the people, for the people and by the people, or whether it is an organization of Ed. Morris, for Ed. Morris, and by Ed. Morris. MISS HARPER IS HEAD OF AN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY (Continued from page L.) Mr. and Mrs. Joe F.

(BY LESTER A WALTON.) FOR several seasons it has been necessary for me, when discussing conditions pertaining to colored theatricals, either to grow reminiscent and tell of "the things that were" or assume a hopeful role and speak of "the things to be" as "the things that are" have furnished scant food for enthusiastic or lengthy comment. But this practice of living in the past or future may be discontinued and stored away in amphor balls for future use before very long, as conditions are so shaping themselves that we will be able to live to a large extent in the present. Take, for instance, vaudeville. With the opening of the new season there is a greater demand for colored acts than ever before, and this demand will become greater and more insistent. Many white acts will find it difficult to secure consecutive booking this season on account of the big European war, and will find themselves in a similar predicament as did the colored performer two seasons ago, when colored entertainers experienced trouble in securing work because of the Johnson-Cameron incident. To-day German acts find no market on this side of the Atlantic in communities where the populations are made up largely of people of either English, French or Russian descent; while, on the other hand, communities largely peopled by German-Americans are no longer on the theatrical map so far as English, French and Russian acts are concerned. Already booking agents are refraining from sending German acts to Canada, and a large reward will be given to any person who can point out a Russian, English or French act on a vaudeville bill in such American cities as Milwaukee. Knowing what it is to be greatly inconvenienced by a wave of race prejudice, having been almost completely inundated by one a short time ago, the colored-performer should grasp this golden opportunity to make great advancement in the vaudeville world. The time is now ripe, for an invasion of the vaudeville field by the colored thespian—an onslaught intelligently conducted, which should carry him far past the ramparts of prejudice and ignorance which have done much to retard his progress in recent years. But this feat will not be accomplished unless brains play a leading part. True, performers with silvery voices and who are pimble and agile on their feet are wanted, but what is needed most is a consistent display of intelligence. I could cite many colored performers who are gifted with voices above the ordinary, and some of whom are dancers of the first water, but they are not succeeding because there is something hacking—and that something is brains. After all, acts are not classified in a big way according to color, but according to merit. That every performer in vaudeville (colored and white) thinks he has a "great act" is a fact well known. And woe to he. or she who takes issue with the performer and seeks to awake him from his dream! There is one thing the vaudevillian should remember, and this gentle admonishment does not apply solely to the performer: Your personal regard of your own greatness is one thing; what the public thinks of you is another. To possess, unstinted and undying admiration for one's self is praiseworthy, but making the other fellow see you and entertain a similar view of you is the monumental task which all ambitious must encounter—a task which is as unavoidable as death and house rent. Therefore, the colored vaudevillian should bear in mind that even after an act of merit has been gotten together the fight is not yet over, as the work of convincing the booking agent, the manager and the public that you have the goods is then in order. The oft-repeated assertion that the booking agent and manager do not really know what the public wants from colored acts is true in many respects. They do not. But it is equally true that the booking agent and manager know what the public does not want of colored vaudevillians. The bookingagent and the manager are in the same category, with most dramatic critics—they can criticize and condemn, but seldom can furnish valuable suggestions. Heretofore the colored vaudevillian has been discouraged to some extent in presenting an offering out of the ordinary by hooking agents and managers whose inconsistent attitude of yelling "too much sameness to colored acts," and in the next breath attempt to restrict them to the plantation or "going to the ball" act is nothing short of criminal. But with such theatres cropping up as the. Lafayette, where the audience is mixed and where hooking agents hit, themselves in large numbers to see what is new, the colored performer is now in a position to get a showing, under favorable conditions—a privilege he did not enjoy heretofore. And in justice to the booking agent, he is just as active in capturing and push- ing a good thing as he is energetic in "knocking" something about which he knows little. When an agent or manager thinks he can make money out of you all prejudices are castadrift, which prompt me to add that every colored act that cries "prejudice" does not do so with good cause. Frequently this over-worked plaint is released from captivity and sent out to conceal the true state of affairs—a scheme often resorted to by turns which fail to make good. Indulging in oceans of idle talk, daydreaming, and feasting fondly on fulsome flattery will not increase the colored vaudevillian's importance. The habit of the average "brother" to gaze in wonderment at the Woolworth and Singer buildings and wish he owned them; to read about the Standard Oil Company and wish he was a director; to witness the busy whirl going on in our great industrial concerns and wish he was profiting financially thereby, is chronic and is indeed a sad affliction. But in these days there are no good fairies as in the time of Cinderella, and the pastime of wishing is not a productive one. The opportunity-to speak in these columns of "the things that are" is at hand, but to indulge in such a diversion so devoutly longed for, it will be necessary for the colored performer to be up and doing.

Following close upon his 'hoasts that it could not, he done in New York, which was characterized by him as "the big joke on the Hudson." Soft Shoe San, the mysterious individual whose movements have been of considerable interest to Hartlemites for the past two weeks, was caught last Saturday night by Shop Edmunds, the amateur detective. The reward of $5 in gold offered for his detection was promptly paid and the National Exhibition and Amusement Co. promoting the Attitude Amusement and Advertising Festival, holds a receipt for the same. Soft Shoe Sam has changed his tune, but comes back with a defi, increasing the reward to $10 in gold, and gives notice of a change in his disguise. He describes the new customer as follows: Light brown striped auff—soft negl gee shirt—white collar—stiff straw hat —Blue tie (bow)—black shoes and light gray socks.

Before moving into the house the comedian spent a large sum in alterations and the house is provided with all modern conveniences. Although the Follies of 1914 will leave New York and open Monday for a run in Philadelphia, Mr. Williams will make frequent runs to New York to be with Mrs. Williams in their new home. ST. CHRISTOPHER MEET. - The condition of the track made it necessary to postpone the outdoor athletic games under the auffices of the St. Christopher Club, scheduled to be held at Verona, N. J., Saturday, August 22. 'All arrangements have been made to hold the games at Ulmer Park, L. I., Saturday, September 5. The heavy rain rests night before the meet rendered the recently built track too soft to allow the athletes to compete. The basket picnic, the feature of the affair, was enjoyed by a large crowd. The Century Band furnished the music. SUNDAY BASEBALL GAMES Grant's Homer Scored Three. Fans who watched the double-header between the Lincoln Giants and the Cuban Stars of Havana at Olympic Field Sunday afternoon were treated to teams divided the honors. An overflow crowd, estimated at about 6,500, jammed every nook and corner of the spacious grand stands. Fast fielding thrilled the fans in both contests. In the first game, the Cubans, in the second game, with the bat, in the last three innings, nosed out the Lincolns by a score of 6 to 5, but in the second tilt the Cubans had to figure on Redding, Harlem's favorite and come-back king, and Grant. Grant helped Redding win the game by making three tallies. The final score was 5 to 3. The work of Pales and Wallace in both games featured. So well pleased were the fans that the Cubans were induced to remain in this city another week and will play the Lincoln Giants and double bill next Sunday. The scores.

Messrs. Morganstern and Walton are doing their best to provide for the comfort of their loyal patrons and large quantities of chilled air are being circulated through the ventilations to keep the house cool. The bill presented the first half of the-week was very much to the liking of Harlem theatregoers. "Honey" Johnson was headliner, doing one of the strongest single turns ever seen at the Lafayette. There is not a better monologist on the stage than "Honey" Johnson, who has a good line of talk and is gifted with a winning personality. A number of his best jokes failed to strike fire, being "over the heads" of some. "Honey" Johnson has been held over for the second half. town. The team was composed of John Cromwell, Talley Holmes, Lewis Johnson, Henry Booker, Haley Douglass and J. F. N. Wilkinson. In Philadelphia, Talley Brown won the class A. match, Henry Booker the class B., and Cromwell and Holmes the doubles. Holmes, Cromwell and Wilkinson made the New York trip to participate in the tournament of the Turf Tennis Club. Holmes again won the singles; and the doubles was taken by Cromwell and Holmes. At Orange, N. J., in matches with the Oriole Tennis Club of East Orange, the entire series, four sets of singles and two sets of doubles, were won by the Washington contingent. Rain prevented the matches at Montclair. The Association will hold its annual open' tournament on its home courts, 13th and T streets, northwest, Washington, D. C., September 7 to 12. Lewis Johnson, secretary, Y. M. C. A., 12th street branch, between S and T streets, northwest, Washington, will receive entries until September 5. The Washington players are especially anxious to have representatives from the New York clubs, the Turf, Idle Hour, Smart Set, Williamsbridge, Flushing; the Newark, Orange, Elizabeth-aid Montclair clubs of New Jersey; and the New Haven, Conn., club. Cubans and Lincolnns to Play Again Last Sunday's thrilling contests between the Lincoln Giants and the Cuban Stars of Havana, the only Cuban team now touring this country, will team coach in this Sunday when the teams clash in another double bill at Olympic Field, 136th street and Fifth avenue. The showing of the Havana Aline Cassell, with voice in excellent condition and carrying more weight than when last seen in Harlem, was well received. She pleasingly rendered several selections. Miss Cassell continues to pay marked attention to wardrobe. Smith & Mills opened the bill, the dancing of the male member scoring. George Evans and Co. presented a sketch dealing with local politics which went big. The members of the cast are real actors. The Song Festival, with five singets of ability, will make good on any of the circuits. Kelly & Kelly have some good jokes. Country store on Tuesday and Saturday evenings and amateur night on Wednesday evenings, continue to draw crowds.
