EDITOR MOORE STIRS A.M.E'S Attends S.S. Meeting in Jersey City and Advises about Raising Money ELDER SMITH GETS RILLED Attempts to Defend Bishop Heard's. Method of Raising Money; Says Editor Is Grafter with Grievance. THE DOMINIE CALLED LIAR Minister Who Supported Presiding Elder Afterwards said Priva ely to Editor That His Criticisms Were Just and True Laymen Endorse Criticism. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Jersey City, N. J., Sept. 9. At the session of the district Sunday School convention of the Newark district of the A. M. E. Church, held in Bethel Church last week considerable excitement was aroused when Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age, criticized the expensae attached to the raising of missionary funds by the church. The Rev. R. B. Smith, presiding elder of the district, took issue with the criticisms and charged the editor with grafting. To this charge the editor retorted by giving the lie direct to the preacher, Bishop W. H. Heard had previously addressed the convention and made a speech soliciting aid in buying a boat to be given the Africans, but without explaining how and in what way the boat would be, of service to the Africans. He raised $7 from the congregation, which amount was increased by the finance committee to $17, after which the good bishop left for some point in upper New York. In his speech Editor Moore declared that rule. for mission purposes by individual solicitors amount in some cases to 90 per cent of the amount collected, and advised that the church folks should take some steps toward finding out to what purpose the money they give for missions is applied. Presiding Elder Gets Riled. This good advice seemed to rile the presiding elder, who made a hot and fiery speech, declaring that The Age was an enemy of the church, and that the editor made his speeches for the purpose of selling the paper. An Age representative was told that the presiding elder when a pastor would not allow The Age to be sold to his congregation. Members of the convention declared their belief that Editor Moore was right. One minister who spoke publicly in support of the presiding elder and the bishop later in the evening declared that the criticism was just and that of his own knowledge the expense of raising missionary money in some cases was out of all proportion. This preacher was afraid to antagonize his presiding elder by making this statement in his public speech. Some of the leading ministers of the church, referring to Blessed Heard's boat project, state that it is an individual affair of the bishop's and that the church in general is not obligatory. One of the most prominent general officers of the A. M. E. Church said in The Ace, office that the boat to be purchased by Bishop Heard would cost $1,500 and that it would cost $1,500 to raise that amount; in other words, it would cost $3,000 to buy a $1,500 boat. The same general officer said that Editor Moore's statements were correct. It is interesting in this connection to note that the Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor of Big Bethel A. M. E. Church, Atlanta, Ga., has written a letter, part of which is published in this paper, in which he makes the direct charge that much less than 25 per cent of the money raised in the annual conferences for missionaries, superannuated ministers, widows and orphans reaches its proper destination. DELLINGER DEFEATED FOR GRAND PATRON Special to THE NEW YORK ACADEM Ashville, N. C., Sept. 8.—In the session of the Grand-Chapter of the Eastern Star last week the Rev. W. G. Avant defeated Dr. J. E. Dollinger for grand royal patron by a vote of 31 to 145. Other officers elected were: Mrs A. L. Dillard grand royal matron; the Rev. J. A. Brown, associate patron; Mrs A. S. Hudson, associate matron; Mrs L. B. Dellinger, secretary; Mrs. S. Evans, supreme royal endowment secretary; Mrs. Fannie Badhour, treasurer From Sheridan, Wyo. From Lynchburg, Va. From Charleston, S. C. VIOLATIONS OF LAW IN HANDLING A.M.E. MONEY DR. TANNIR MAKIS CHARGIS Declares That Less Than 25 Per Cent of Money for Conference Beneficiaries is Applied to its Proper End-Points Out Remedy. Special to THE New York AOZ. ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 8.—That not more than 25 per cent. of the money raised in the—conferences of the A. M. E. Church for missionaries, superannuates, widows and orphans reaches its proper destination is the charge made by the Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor of Big Bethel A. M. E. Church, this city; and he states further that if only 15 per cent. of the dollar money, conference missionary money and Easter money were received by the beneficiaries they would be receiving not less than twice the amount now paid them. This condition is brought about, affirms Dr. Tanner, by the fact that the funds, for the conference beneficiaries, remain in the conferences and thus is convenient for misappropriation, and mishandling by the ones who handle it. At the general conference of the A. M. E. Church held in Kansas City in 1912 a bill was offered to create a new department into which would be paid the money for missionaries, superannuates, From Passaic, N. J. From Pine Bluff, Ark. widows and orphans. The bill provided for a quarterly disbursement of the funds. The proposed measure was passed, but an amendment was made which provided that the funds for conference beneficiaries should be placed in the hands of a treasurer elected by the annual conference, who would disburse the same. Dr. Tanner declares that this was a mistake, as twenty years' experience on conference finance committees had convinced him that there was no way to get the money for conference beneficiaries into their hands as long as it was kept in the conference. He declares that two years of trial under the law has brought no change. It is openly violated. The beneficiaries are really getting less than 25 per cent. of the money raised for them. In an article from Dr. Tanner's pen, published in a local paper under the caption of "The House of Protection," he says: "But why was the bill practically defended? There is an answer to this question and it is not hard to find. Objectiona Raised. First—The cry was raised, 'Retrenchment,' No more departments. But, as an actual fact, to set this money aside in a department would be an act of the greatest retrenchment the church has seen in many a day. As to the cry no more departments, it is to be observed that the general department when it got ready to make them, but practically made two departments: 'Tao Evangelical Bureau,' Dr. G. L. Howard, secretary, and the Laymen's Missionary Movement, Prof. C. H. Johnson; secretary. "Second objection—It was said that I was looking for a place. I publicly declared that if the conference woul adopt the measure, they could pit some one else, the places, would not hand for election, and were fallacious, for it is not better to have one man given charge and he shall accountable for its propor distribution, than to have the tens of (Continued on Page 5.)

Chicago, Ill., Sept. 8-Through the suggestion of Dr. George C. Hall the colored Y. M. C. A. has recently had a meeting of the colored Pullman car porters whose headquarters are in this city. In the city of Chicago there are between seven and eight thousand Pullman car porters, and a large proportion of them have been reached through the Y. M. C. A.

EATQ DENIES THAT SHE IS PENSIONED In THE AGE, issue of September 3, it was stated that Mrs. E. V. C. Eato, 68 West 100th street, had been pensioned for life by the Queens Insurance Co, with which the late Mr. Eato had been connected for many years. This information was secured by a representative of this paper in investigating the home and industrial conditions among the Negroes in New York City, and as it came from a roomer in Mrs. Eato's apartment it was thought to be accurate. Mrs. Eato has written the editor of THE AGE a note, in which she states that she has not been pensioned by the Queens Insurance Co., or by any other company. . WASHINGTON, D.

JERSEY HEARS DR. WASHINGTON First Meeting Held Monday at Morristown, New Jersey, Largely Attended MAYOR HINCK WELCOMES Montclair's Mayor Delivers Welcome Address before an Overflow Audience—Tuskegeean Given Enthusiastic Ovation. BANQUETTED BY CHIZENS Paterson and Newark Meetings Conclude the First Day's Tour, All of Which Were Largely Attended, more than 5000 People Hearing the Tuskegee By F. H. BUTLER Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. MONTCLAIR, N. J., Sept. 9.—The "Wizard" of Tuskegee has come, seen and conquered. The Washington virus has been injected into the minds and hearts of thousands of Jerseyites of both races. Men great in state, in business and in church have rubbed elbows with thousands of the common people in paying, homage to the great educator and unanimous have been the expressions of approval of the magnificent addresses he has delivered. The Booker T. Washington party met at the great Hoboken, Terminal of the Lackawanna railroad Monday morning at 8:10 o'clock and embarked for Morristown, the first stopping place. The following named distinguished gentlemen constituted the party: Bishop Geo. W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Major R. R. Moton of Hampton fame, N. B. Dobson of the American Press News Service, R. R. Wright of the Christian Recorder, William H. Craighead of Harvard, Pa. Fred K. Moore of The New York Ace, James N. Vandervall, chairman of tour committee, and W. P. Burrell, executive secretary. The party was met at Morristown by the Citizens' Association and carried in automobiles for a view of the city and its surroundings, thence to Wyanoke Hall, where a large audience of both races heard and applauded Dr. Washington's address. Lee Bracy was chairman of the committee of arrangements, L. L. Taylor, treasurer, and J. H. Tanner, secretary. Great Demonstration at Montclair. The next stop of the party was Montclair. Here undoubtedly, was one of the greatest demonstrations of the whole tour. A grand street parade of the civic and fraternal societies, the Boy Scouts, and floats representing race business in business and trades, preceded Dr. Washington's address. There were one thousand marchers in the parade and fifty-six vehicles. Freeman Epps was grand marshal and Burre Lee assistant. By special request of the city officials flags were displayed in profusion and in many windows pictures of the distinguished guest. The Hillside auditorium was packed to the safety limit to hear the address. The audience was such as is only possible in a great democracy. The wealth, culture and refinement of exclusive Montclair as well as the folks that Mr. Lincoln said "God must have loved," were all-thereal. Eighteen hundred succeeded in hearing Dr. Washington and as many more stood outside—and contented themselves. Seated on the platform were the members of Dr. Washington's party, Mayor Ernest C. Hinck; representatives of the city council and the Board of Education, the Citizens' Union and the Montclair Civic Association. The Rev. J. C. Love, pastor of the Union Baptist Church, presided and the Rev. Thomas G. Tibbs offered prayer. Carl Griggsby recited the 'Emancipation Proclamation. Welcome Address by Mayor Hinck. The Hon. Ernest C. Hinck, mayor of Montgair, delivered the address of welcome. The Rev. Fred'k H. Butler, pastor of St. Mark's Methodist-Episcopal Church, introduced Dr. Washington in a brief summary of the work of the two greatest race leaders—Frederick Douglass, the champion of the first emancipation, who bid America to set the Negro free, and Booker T. Washington, who bids his people now that they have freedm to go up and possess the land. The great audience arose as one man and applauded and cheered and gave the Chautauqua salute repeatedly to the noted educator. It was a great treat this audience paid to its guest of honor. Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Wm. Howard Taft and Robt. E. Peary have been greeted upon this same spot but with no such greeting, as the Tuskegee "Wizard" received. Mr. Washington was at his best in his Montclair address. The same Pletty and purity of his English, the strength of the man in his life's work count for the conviction he drives to the very heart of his audiences as a speaker. The great Montclair meeting was followed by a banquet at the Union Baptist Church over which W. R. E. Grigsby, president of the Citizens' Union, under whose auspices the celebration was held, presided. After the banquet Dr. Washington, Bishop Clinton, Major Moton, the Rev. John C. Love and the Rev. F. H. Butter were the special guests of Mayor Hinck in an automobile ride about the city and suburbs. The party went next to Paterson where a special committee, in charge of Dr. Norman T. Cotton awaited them. The well known caterer, T. G. Walker, served a bounteous repast and the company went to the High School Auditorium where another large audience awaited them. Drs. Norman T. Cotton presented. Rev. J. W. Anderson offered prayer. Mayor Robert T. Fordyce presented Dr. Washington. His speech was replete with information and inspiration to further achievement along lines of racial development. Denounced Lynching in Newark Speech While the Paterson meeting was in progress the hosts of Newark were gathering in the Bethany Baptist Church to hear the note of positive action along the line of business, industrial and moral uplift sounded. The Rev. A' A. Collins, pastor of the St. James A. M. E. Church presided. Needless to say the edifice was packed in every nook and corner. The Rev. J. R. Waters, pastor of St. Johns M. E. Church, prayed. Mayor Jacob Haulsling delivered an address of welcome. Dr. W. W. Wolf and Dr. Walter G. Alexander delivered addresses. Mme. Matilda Walker, Miss Lillian MCrea and B. W. Stewart rendered solos. Despite the lateness of the hour of arrival of the party from Paterson an enthusiastic greeting was accorded Dr. Washington as he entered the church. Counselor George A. Doughass in a clean cut speech introduced the educator. The fourth address of the day was without repetition except the emphasis of the salient points of his message to the people of New Jersey. With remarkable versatility Dr. Washington held his audience spellbound except for outbursts of applause as he drove home the great truths he was there to declare. His denunciation of lynching brought 'orth much commendation'; his vivid description of the overthrow of Blease and his kind in South Carolina, as he sounded the optimistic note of hope for the race if they lay hold of every opportunity, brought 'orth round after round of applause. The Rev. R. D. Wynn was chairman of the Newark committee, the Rev. E. F. Eggleston, vice-chairman; Van Buren Powell, secretary, and J. D. Pinkham, secretary. In the vestry of the church at the conclusion of the meeting a banquet was served to over two hundred guests. The banquet was served by V. B. Powell, caterer. A conservative estimate of the audience addressed will place the number that heard Dr. Washington on the first day of his tour in New Jersey as follows: Morristown, 500; Montclair, 800; Paterson, 800; Newark, 1,000 LEADWAITER FOR MANY YEARS DIED LAST WEEK special to The New York Age BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 9. — The funeral of John B.

The Purish School opens the third Monday in September THE NEGRO FARMER A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers. It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T.

September 14. Many important matters will be brought before the convention for the attention of the delegates. One of the most important matters will be proposition No. 5 which transfers the control of the order over to the Committee of Management in England. The delegates should defeat this proposition. If adopted it can never be amended or repealed without the approval of the Board of Management of England. The next important matter is the selection of a grand master, Edward H. Morris should be defeated. A large number of our bishops and preachers have a very superficial and distorted opinion of the high calling in which they are pastors of stocks and shepherds of pastors, and persistently use the high offices of power and influence for selfish greed and the proposition of their personal ambitions. Our church newspapers, notably the Christian Recorder and the other Recorders, of which there are several, have been burdened of late months with complaints of church burdens and the greed of pastors and bishops, the pastors complaining that the bishops gouge and tyrannize over them and the members complain that the pastors tax them too much, and are prone to take up side issues, like politics, when there is promise of a profit in doing so. When there is so much complaint of this character in the church organs of the African Methodist Episcopal Church every week, and when our observations and experience bear out the truth of the complaints, THE AGE should not be blamed if, in the interest of the church membership and that large portion of the public who, help to support the church, if direct attention to the abuses and calls upon those responsible, for them to correct them. In a Sunday School convention of the African Methodist Church, held in Jersey City last week, the responsible editor of THE AGE directed attention to these abuses in a short address; the immediate provocation being the presence of Bishop W. H. HEARD, whose special field is West Africa, but who spends most of his time in the United States, always having some money-raising scheme, handy to keep him in this country and very busy, the handy one at this time being the raising of enough money to purchase a motor boat for use in his work in Liberia. Bishop HEARD collected seven dollars and then rushed away to take the train for New York, where he said he had an appointment. Editor Moore pointed out to the audience that the proper person to collect and account for the money to purchase the motor boat is Dr. J. W. RANKIN, the Missionary Secretary of the Church, and a good and capable man, and that by the rules of the game Bishop HEARD was compelled to spend as much in traveling expenses as he collected at each place. This is about what happened. We pointed out that the Missionary Secretary could issue a call to all of the pastors for a general collection to purchase the boat and get as much as Bishop HEARD is collecting, less the travelling expenses which now eat up all that Bishop HEARD collects. Several ministers, presented the statements of, Editor, Moore, one HERMAN RIDDER AND THE BLACK SOLDIERS IN EUROPE. The war in Europe has also reached Asia and Africa, and for the purposes of this article, New York, after a fashion. When the sword is drawn it is hard to sheathe it, as it grows sharp on what it feeds, like unloosed, fire and flood and falsehood and scandal, and it assures many ugly shapes, does war. Indeed, war has no pleasant aspect, all its aspects are terrible. That men should rush into it with what is called heroism and die by thousands, as they are doing to-day, and have been doing for many days, and have being doing through the ages of recorded history, is the enigma which alleged wise men struggle in vain to explain, simply because they are still ignorant of what man is, and what elements go to make man. The war in Europe, in one of its most disagreeable features, reaches New York by way of HERMAN RIDDER and the Staats-Zeitung, both of New York. Mr. RIDDER is a German-American, so is his great newspaper. The mantle of QSWALD OTTENDORFER fell upon Mr. RIDDER in the shape of the newspaper. Mr. OTTENDORFER was a great German-American who spent much time in going about trying to reforn something. HERMAN RIDDER has been striving hard to wear with dignity and other things the OTTENDORFER mantle that fell upon him after the last spade of earth was shoved on the OTTENDORFER coffin. It is a tact that all mantles have fallen upon others, front ELIISHA to RIDDER, have kept their wearers constantly in plenty of trouble. Like the fabled shirt of Nesus, they stick. Mr. RIDDER has undertaken to defend the insolent German War Lord and the German people from the serious charges made against them that they are primarily responsible for bringing on the horrible war and are guilty of occities in the conduct of it such as only savages are supposed to the guilty of it. It is a big job. The German War Lord has no respect for the black and colored people of Africa and Asia, and has not minced matters, by word or act, in the past to show that he did not. That is one of the reasons why the Japanese declared war against Germany and is fighting to run them out of the Far East, and that is the reason all Africans and Asiatics are opposed to Germany, and have no confidence in the United States, and would be disposed to take sides against the latter as they have against the former in a war line-up of the nations. Mr. RIDDER has deemed it necessary to endorse the color line drawn by the German Kaiser, having had many disagreeable things to say about black and colored people being used by the Allies against white men in the war in Europe. The white man business, without knowing that it is on trial for its life everywhere, has in the latter days become as sensitive on the race and color question as a game corn on the little toe. In the language of Bishop John W. HAMILTON, "There are no inferior races; there are races with inferior opportunities." In a recent issue of the Steats-Zeitung Mr. RIDDER says: one line of condemnation have I found in the Anglohilbie press of the "I have read of Louvain and dirigibles until I am weary, but not one line of condemnation have I found in the Anglophile press of the injection into this white'man's war of the Turcos, the Japanese, and the Silkhs and Glurks of India. Why not be at least moderate, if one cannot be fair? Why talk of "dumdums" when England has defended them and used them against black troops, and is now turning these same troops against the Germans? Why rail troops, and are now turning these same troops against the Germans? Courage and honor go hand in hand, and the German soldier is anything but a coward has been proved on every battlefield on which he has figured." This outburst of Mr. RIDDER, like others that have gone before it, amounts to an arrangement and condemnation of the Government of the United States, which has given Mr. RIDDER an asylum and an opportunity to make fame and fortune, for employing black and colored soldiers to crush the Slave Holders' Rebellion and to drive the Spaniards out of Cuba and their other possessions in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and for maintaining four regiments of black and colored soldiers, as it is now doing, and as do several States in their national guard. Does Mr. RIDDER mean to do that? Of course not, but that is what he does. France and Great Britain have as much right and justification to use the black and colored units in their nationalists in the war in Europe as the United States would have if we should go to war with Germany or other European powers. Would Mr. RIDDER object to that? Perhaps. And if he should be drafted for the war would he hesitate to hire a black or colored substitute? We think not. The European war is much to be deplored, as being too savage and cruel to be tolerated, by intelligent human beings, but it will change the map of the world and give the people of Africa and Asia a better and more respectable standing with the races and powers of Europe and America, so that out of weakness may come strength, and out of the stench of battlefields may come sweetness, in new and better conditions of mankind. And all the HERMAN RIDDER in America and Europe will know more after the war than they know now. of them, the Rev. R. B. Smith, presiding elder, going so far as to accuse him of being a grafter with a grievance and stating that THE AGE for many years has been maliciously opposed to the African Methodist Episcopal Church. It is the confirmed character of the thief to cry thief as he runs, in order to baffle his pursuers. The files of THE AGE will show that we have been the best newspaper friend the African Methodist Episcopal Church has, but that we have not hesitated to denounce tyrannical bishops and preachers, in that way doing the best possible service for the church and the interested public that helps to sustain the church. That they may be comforted who mourn, the editor of THE AGE does not hesitate to say that he proposes to keep up the good work of showing up and denouncing the tyrannical and grafting bishops and preachers in all of the churches, wherever such show their heads, until they have all been driven out of the high places in the church. It is absurd on the face of it to accuse Editor Moore of being actuated by selfish, or grafting mutives in such a policy, as he is not a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and in no position, therefore, to make any practical use of a selfish and grafting policy, while the bishops and preachers of the church are in a position to do so. All of our churches are public institutions, supported by public contributions upon their membership and those sympathizers who are not of their membership; it is therefore the business of THE AGE to point out such abuses as the editor may have knowledge of as an observer of events—and as he gathers the facts from the official newspapers of the several denominations. We want our churches to have the respect of the best people of the country to accomplish the most good for the uplifting of the race, and this cannot be unless grafting and selfish ambition are weeded out of the churches, as the good gardener weeds out the noxious weeds. We call upon the Rev. R. B. SMITH, presiding elder of the Newark district, who made the charge that Editor Moore was a grafter with a grievance, to cite one instance of graft or produce one minister who has ever paid one penny in the way of graft to the editor of THE AGE or to THE NEW YORK AGE, and his failure to do so will leave him to be branded a willful prevaricator and distorter of the truth. WAR TAXES IN TIMES OF PEACE. The terrible war in Europe is a tax on the commerce and the patience and the industry and thrift of all lands, and has brought about already in the countries affected directly famine and near famine conditions which are reacting upon this country in higher prices for all food stuffs. The prices promise to go higher as the war is prolonged, and how long such a war will last is not in the power of any man to forecast. All wise, people will be governed accordingly in their expenditures for living, or they will come to grief. How these economies in living expires can best be regulated every person is the best judge for himself. In such times as these self-denial is an iron hay those who disregard it have to pay dearly for. Already the shoe has begun to pinch the Treasury of the United States, so that the President has found it necessary, because of the great falling off in custom house revenues, the war interfering radically with both the import and export trade, to ask the Congress to levy an additional tax on the industries of the country of $100,000,000. Congress is ready enough to levy the tax, but the biggest kind of rumpus has been stirred up over the live question as what can be taxed. The internal revenue taxes are already as high as the dealers and the public are willing to stand for, especially the dealers in tobacco and spirits. It has been suggested that a stamp tax be placed on railroad tickets and on patent the defines, in addition to existing location, and upon other articles as a makehift! It shows to what a fatal extent the tariff policy of President Wilson has brought the taxing power of the Government when there are so few articles left that can be taxed and furnish the needed revenue. The Underwood Tariff act has not yet got into full operation, but the enactment of it as a revenue measure, has already demonstrated that it is a partial failure. How do we know that the $100,000,000 asked for by the President will be sufficient to meet the requirements of the Government for the next fiscal year? The war will continue to throw the Government upon its own resources for revenue, and internal and direct taxation become more necessary, but what shall be taxed, when so few articles that will yield the desired revenue are, left to be taxed, is the question that the President and the Congress find it mighty difficult to determine. The Democratic party is better off out of power than in it. It has no capacity for governing; and has made a blunder of the business whenever the administration of the Government has, in times of unrest and disgust, been turned over to it by the voters of the country. A VICTORY. For a number of years Dr. WASHINGTON, Mr. LESTER A. WALTON and our colored editors throughout the country have been making an earnest effort to persuade the white press to capitalize the word "Negro," in the same way that the words Indian, Italian, Scandinavian and what not are capitalized. A few months ago The Outlook Magazine decided to use a capital "N" when using the word Negro. A few months later the Century Magazine followed the lead of The Outlook. Still more recently all the Curtis publications have agreed to use the capital "N." But the greatest victory of all is seen in the fact that a few days ago the Associated Press instructed its correspondents that hereafter when speaking of the Negro to use a capital "N." Our gratitude is certainly due the Associated-Press for this great reform, and we predict it will only be a matter of a few months or years when every publication in the country will capitalize the word Negro just the same as Italian, Indian or Japanese is capitalized. We have long tried to persuade the New York Evening Post and The Independent to use a capital "N," but thus far have been unsuccessful. We hope, however, that the action of the Associated Press will be far-reaching in causing all important publications to capitalize the word Negro in the future. MUSKQGEE It is but simple justice to say that every person who went to Muskogee to attend the session of the National Negro Business League last month was not only pleased but greatly surprised at the many evidences of progress among our people in the new State of Oklahoma, and especially in the city of Muskogee. Every promise that the Muskogee business men made, regarding the entertainment of the League was fulfilled, and more than fulfilled. The industrial exhibit and the industrial parade a mile and a quarter long presented evidences of progress which were marvelous and unexpected. We do not over-estimate the matter when we say that the colored people in Muskogee have the finest business houses, all things taken together, owned and operated by our people anywhere in the country. The gratitude of the League and of the officers is especially due Mr. T. J. ELLIOTT and his co-workers who stood so valiantly by him. It will not be a difficult task, we suspect, to persuade the League to go to Muskogee again in the near future. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY The Indictment of Bishop Harris, et al. To the Editor of The Ago: Since there has been so much public publishing of the indictment, Press to the indictment of Bishop Harris and nother prominent Norwegians of West- ern North Carolina, we really believe that Bishop Harris should give the other side of this deplorable affair. No one believes Bishop Harris or charges. No one, not even the prosecution, entertains for a moment the idea that Bishop Harris would stoop there are any; in such a indourable violation of the law, Bishop Harris is too clean a man, he is too lofty and grand in ideas, he is too lofty in his birthday, he is too stoop to stoop to a crime of magnitude. And what is said of Bishop Harris may be said of the others connected or involved in fair that the public know, the other side before forming an opinion. Who would be believed that Dr. J. W. Walker, Prof. W. E. Brooks, or, in fact, any of the individuals involved, in this affair should commit such a crime! These are most of us, who stand to the force of their social affairs. And all of them are above the average in point of intelligence. Only the most biased or the most child-like such a crime at their door. ...The Associated Press in giving such notorious publicity to this affair, as it will be, has been accused of placable and unhearing antipathy to the Negro aid and an avaricious greed to humiliate and ...dilagrace thops who are in the limelight with cleft scutcheons. It would be well to know that the indictment of Bishop Harris, et al., is but the culmination of a cowardly effort, principled, ex-pastors who nursed an imaginary grievance, and like the cowardly assassinates they are, sought to carry out the action of taking the action of a lawfully constituted committee for suspending one of them for gross immoral conduct, and guilty of inscrubbing the genious of unscrupulous skill trying to incriminate and involve everybody he could, after he had done everything in his limited power to destroy the church, and hirped him, this unscrupulous individual, this ministerial misfit, this inflated ingrate, this man over whom the shadow of another is over him, for years, this milling, smirking syphonic, reprobate, this egotistic embodiment of assinine deprivacy joined issues in another of his another brother, and before the grand jury of Buncombe County, N. C., and swore that they were in possession of facts that would implicate the above named gentlemen. No one believes that these low lungs untruthful ingrates are in possession of the man they have traded in, records bristle with escapades that would make a mule blush for shiame. If these men escape the penitentiary for perjury in this case, they will be carried in the carriage of justice. Of course, when these miscreants went before the grand jury and made these damaging representations, the grand jury was bound to convict. St. James in one of his epistles wrote these sentences, and they are as true as the rest. The way he describes is a way that seemeth right to a man, and the end thereof is death." This, coupled with the ancient adage that they first make indulgence, gives a clear case of self-destruction in this unpleasant episode. Failing in their endeavors, they fall into other, falling in their hellish designs to utterly destroy the church which soothes and comforts, which the grace, of special favors had hid their putridness and shame from the eyes of the world, they like, and now attempt to siting, to death those who in former days shielded and protected them, and even advanced their faith over the heads of better men, who had done more in one year for the church than these renegades have ever done, the years of their worthless lives. One of these men bonhats that he has found an asylum-in' the Baptist Church; the other makes a boast that he has been a priest in the parishers in both the C. M. E. and Baptist Churches. The A. M. E. Zion Church will lose but little in fact, nothing; and the churches to which they go are not as large as the churches. But they won't have anything to boast of, while the ill will and impacable hatred of several outraged communities will follow them, and the curses they impose on them will widen their children will hang over them like a pail, till the shadows of death sotle around them, and with the cry of the doomed they quit the earth that they have cursed with their miserable existence.

Atalia Hascley Writes of a Week in Paris while Preparations Were Made to Meet an Expected Siege by the Germans. PARIS, France, Aug. 15.—It has been worth the experience to be in Paris during this state of siege. We have studied the French from a new viewpoint. Monday was very blue. Everywhere women were crying. Parting scenes made us Americans cry from sympathy and because of a little self pity; also. People would not change paper money and many Americans were without a soul because their checks and letters of credit could not be cashed. Everybody wanted to get to England, and there were no available trains because the government was using the trains. There were no motor buses, to take people around the city, and everybody wore a long-drawn face. On Tuesday, flags began to fly. One could see military processions everywhere. It looked like the 4th of July, without music and without fireworks. Horses were standing at certain rendezvous where owners had been ordered by the government to carry them. (Many Americans are afraid that all the horses may not be used and that some may be served to them at the hotel tables.) All day Tuesday lines of people stood at the district police stations to get, their laissez de sejour papers. (Let stay. papers.) "Some stayed in line from 7 in the morning until 11 at night only to have the door shut in their faces and the next day went at 4 a. m. These papers were necessary and are still to be carried. We are cautioned never to be without them. Wednesday was-a day of suspense. Waiting is always more racking. Bread was scarce and cakes were out of the question. Everybody bought every paper less some war item should escape them. Women began to take the places of men in the great underground stations and in the restaurants. On Thursday, people got tired waiting for the war and terrible news and began to "look around and take notice." Newspapers had to manufacture news. People began to grow courageous, especially as the sentiment of the world began to turn against Germany, which had not succeeded in taking Liege. It began to be the fashion to wear Red Cross arm bands if one belonged to one of the many organizations. Everybody wore the tri-color, red white and blue, and peddlars worried people to the tiny bows, flag rosettes, American flag, the American flag as an additional safeguard. By Friday and Saturday the people were all over their fright and began to look philosophically at things, and by Sunday and Monday—Paris was itself again and has been itself ever since. Even Americas have no desire to leave, now. The cafes and parks are crowded, many places of amusements have opened and the only inconvenience is that of transportation for every one cannot afford cabs, and the countless steps of the "Metro" tire one as much as walking a long distance on the street. Besides it has a most "reaching" damp odor. "Added to that, the odor left by the thousands who throng its intricacies every hour. It is rapid, but very odorous. As Hot in Paris as in Texas. Then came the heat! Hot! Just as hot at Texas—which is a rare experience in Paris. No one grumbles or complains. They say, "Think of our poor soldiers protecting us... at the frontiers!" As groups of soldiers passed with their thick red and blue woolen uniforms carrying loads on their backs, the people say aloud, "Our poor soldiers," and think of their own dear ones. The street musicians are again plying their profession. Great crowds stand and listen and are generous with their sous. Beggars, who are not supposed to beg only on holidays, again annoy people when the policemen are not near. The flower stands are doing a thriving business. Women carry home great gorgeous fuchsias and other plants to "cheer up" the home, although they go aoo one, could not see how flowers are not have cared to spend a soil for them. Enough stores have re opened to keep one from missing the others. One American said, "Paris was all shops anyhow, and could afford to close a few." The Bazaars and other shops have the same tremedious sidewalk displays. The "Municipalize" schools have _re_ opened to keep the children whose mothers are now at work, and any idle child who might play on the street and help in mischief. A woman whose husband is in military service is given twenty-five cents a day for herself and ten cents a day for each child. While they work, the children are cared for by school teachers. One may see the long lines of boys and girls two by two accompanied by their teachers on the way to the parks, and each child certainly gets supervision. If they are not at school, they are "at home," and when they no to parks they are always accompanied by elders. Soup Shops where cooked vegetables are served, are open to the unemployed. We are still reading notices official and otherwise. One of the last ones to be put up, was a Jufif or Jewish notice calling the men of their race to arms, for "la-France." During this excessive heat, every one is in the street. Women with their "Soup folding stools are sewing or embroidering anywhere they can shade and every bench and all the pay chairs are being used during the heat of the day. Paris is resting with a big "R." The courts are trying the cases of five hundred or more persons, mostly youth who destroy the many milk shops of the Maggi'i Lake County other property belonging to Kisselans and Austrians. The government will pay back all damages, according to the law, and has boarded up the front of every Maggi'i and other shops, until the money for damages is paid. France in Fear of Germany for Forty Years. Everything is being done to keep the people quiet and calm. We do not even hear "Viva la France" anymore. France knows herself that we know her; and history tells what exited French blood has done in fomenting internal war. She has paid a dear price for her experience and has prouted by her lesson. It is a terrible thing to have been whipped. It leaves "fear" that the same thing will occur—again. For over forty years France has been living in fear of Germany and for forty years she has been preparing to "get even." She has saved her money and has laid in supplies. Every man of war age in France has had a new military suit made to his measure and two pairs of war shoes besides other waiting for him, when the time should arrive. Every two or three years his measurements have been taken over to see if his military clothes fitted. If not they were altered or new ones made. Every man that was mobilized went to his rendezvous and received brand new clothes and accoumbrements which had been waiting for him—for years, perhaps,—for this day. Even every horse had entirely new fittings. As hundreds of great fine looking horses went down Rue Turno, their new "shoes" glistered in the bright sunlight and actually dazzled the bystanders. In spite of all her preparation and readiness for war, down in her heart La France feared L'Allenagne and another whipping. It was fear rather than war that made them sad (for the French seem to rather enjoy scrapping). Now that others will help her against the mailed fist of the dreaded Kaiser, France is almost happy over the call it "providencial". Old men Alsations wept when they read that French soldiers were once more in Alsace. The feeling now is that they are soon to repay L'Allenagne and they can hardly wait for a good battle. Because Les Tempo one of the daily journals was accused of betraying one of the military positions of the army thus losing the war of 1870, the varied positions of the army are kept secret. No soldier may tell where he is stationed, in fact the post mark is cut from every card he sends. All his mail is read. Letters to him are destroyed because there is no time to open them and read long letters. All postal cards are sent to him without postage to his rendezvous and from this point are forwarded. The churches are full of praying relatives. Although I am Protestant I go with some French friends and also burn candles for their boys, while offering a prayer for their safety. Black Romeos Make Love to French Maids. Paris, especially on the left bank of the Siene, seems over run by blacks. When I was first-in Paris I was "Color Hangry" but not this time. Oh! No! I can meet five colored men in five minutes any time in this Jardin du Luxembourg quarter. Some look very nice and some look tres ordinaire. Everytime I come through the Jardin du Luxembourg which is every day and often twice a day, I see colored men making love to white French girls in imitation of the white French men. Some are American colored men, and when I suspicion them as such, I am mean enough to give them a scornful look. Why they persist in attracting to themselves the attention of the girls in this way is a mystery. They seem to overdo the thing in the effort to be "Frenchy." I read in the Paris Edition of the New York Herald, which is our comfort and standby, that some colored show folk, song and dance artists, had applied to the American Embassy for relief as they were at the end of their resources and I wondered if they watsed their money on the white French girls. See No Black Soldiers in Paris. I have not seen a black face in a French uniform. I look in every cap to see if the short cropped heads will betray them, but not a black or brown is here. There may be officers. I stopped a black French man who is always in front of the Palais de Senate and asked him why it was. He said that most of the black French were Colonials and had their own administration. I must look this point up. The French man delightful to the American. While softer refused paper money and checks, others advertised that they would accept them. All Americans are loud in their praise of the hospitality they have received. At my hotel, if I do not appear at my usual hour, a gentle-tap, comes and the inquiry "Are you all right, Madame? Is there anything I can do for you?" When the siege was declared French and English friends came to take me to their homes. I refused their kind offers and stayed here. Strange to say I had all my papers two days before friends offered to help me get them. I am so accustomed to looking after myself that it is second nature now because my intentions are trained. These friends offer to wash out and iron the things that women always need and try to save expense for me. The last thing that one of their sons did before he went to war was to bring me $20 worth of gold and silver without a word of suggestion from me. Who wouldn't burn a five cent candle and put up a prayer of thoughtfulness to a stranger in a time of need? I read in the American despatches of the high prices of food in America. This morning as I rode up to Faubourg St. Antoine, the street market which extended for almost a mile along the side walk, a treat. Each woman had perhaps pushed her cart all the way from Leo Halles, the great Central market, at daybreak. There was a plenty of everything fresh and crisp and beautifully arranged. It made a beautiful color picture, with the bright red of the little radishes, the yellow of the tiny carrots; the tender greens of the various Solades and the dark green of the artichokes and plums. There were, luctious looking onions, cauliflower, potatoes and other vegetables by the basket and cart. They receive five, five cents. They refer to put in a sign, five cents for a half pound rather than to put 10 cents for a whole pound. "The Frenchy boy from day to day because refrigerators are not used and ice is always the rarest and most expensive article in Paris. I wish that some of my American friends could share these delicious vegetables with me, especially the Salades." Tennis Matches on Labor Day. and Granville Tennis Clubs had a good crowd to welfinish the sewage which, hot on the Granvilleville court, West 137th on the Labor Day. The game was called at 2 p.m. the captains of both sides decided to play doubles, as it was too late for singles.

The champions of the Granville team, John S. Bristol, and R. C. McPherson, and Dr. Jas. A. Banks had a stitched game, and after the most brilliant playing on both sides, the championship fell to the superior playing of the Elite experts. After the final game all enjoyed the refreshments. VIOLATION OF LAW IN HANDLING. A: M. E. MONEY (continued from page 1.) thousands of dollars misappropriated nations under the present arrangement. "Third objection—It was said that there would be an increased financial burden on the church. Under the present system the beneficiaries do not receive, as a rule, over 25 per cent of the gross receipts, of the department system, an office could be maintained at not over 5 per cent of the gross receipts, leaving 95 per cent for the beneficiaries. Now, if the beneficiaries did not receive but 15 per cent of the dollar money, together with the conference mission funds, the other funds they would all receive not less than twice the amount now paid them. Violations Create Contempt for Law. "If the ensuing general conference will pass this measure and give the conference beneficiaries, the missionaries, superannuates, widows and orphans, the children, the young and following dangers and reap the follow-lug benefits among others: "That the law which directs that certain appropriations are to be made should be openly and flagrantly violated, has had, and will continue to have, if continued, but in an increasing degree, a tendency to create a contempt for our law in general, which may some day spell ruin to our church. The men who are already in our ranks deserve to see that the law provides and so man, however high he may be, has, any right to take from them. "Providing for the missionaries in the A. M. E. Church as the law stipulates will bring a more desirable class of men seeking admission and will at the same time make us guard more carefully the doors of our conferences. Our missionaries would be more on equality with those of other denominations if more assurance of support was given. Many questionable methods of raising money would not be used. "The struggling preacher would have something to look, forward to when his effective days are past." LIMA OHIO Mrs. Ana Brown has been spending the week in Toledo.

THOMPSON, Assistant Conductors Manhattan Casino Tuesday, Oct. 13th GENERAL ADMISSION - 50 CENTS Advance sale of all tickets at Tempo Club, 119 W. 136th Street FORD T. DABNEY, General Manager THEATRICAL COMMENT. At last the colored ushers at Hammerstein's Victoria. Theatre have been let out, and their positions have been filled by white girls. For the past three years a rimor would break out every now and then that the colored ushers were in danger of losing their jobs at Hammerstein's, but upon inquiry a vigorous denial would be always forthcoming from the management. Arthur Hammerstein, who has become manager of this widely renowned vaudeville house since the recent death of his brother, William Hammerstein, is said to be solely responsible for the new order of things. It is charged he made an effort to discharge the colored ushers a year ago, but that William Hammerstein, who, like his father, Oscar Hammerstein, believed in hiring colored acts and help, flatly refused to listen to such a proposition. Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre has been regarded by ushers as the most lucrative field for making tips of any theatre in New York. For the past twenty years a dozen or more ushers have been employed the year around, and several young colored men have paid their way through local colleges from the money they made there. A strange coincidence was that George Archer, who resigned as head usher four seasons ago to go into business in London, returned to America just as the colored men were discharged. It is said that he has appealed to Oscar Hammerstein to reinstitute the male ushers. Since the death of William Hammerstein a few weeks ago but few colored acts have played at "the corner." AT THE LAFAYETTE. The Lafayette Theatre has hung up another new record for attendance. With vaudeville and motion pictures as the combined attraction, the house played to standing room on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings, respectively. Last Saturday evening was country store night and the usual, large crowd of Harlem theatregoers was on hand. With the gentle breezes showing more activity than usual on Sunday evening, the Lafayette again presented an animated appearance, and Labor Day the present management did the biggest business of its career. On Tuesday evening the country store and cool weather proved a winning combination, necessitating the bringing out of the S. R. O. sign. That the Lafayette Theatre has become very popular with Harlemites and will do a big business during the new season is even the opinion-of those most pessimistically inclined when Messrs. Morganstern & Walton became lessees in May. Two benefit performances will be given at the Lafayette Theatre within the next two weeks. On Friday afternoon and evening, September 11, a portion of the proceeds will be applied to the fund now being raised by the colored women of the State of New York, who plan to erect a monument at Auburn, N. Y., in honor of the late Harriet Tubman. The monument will be unveiled some time in October. Mme. Marie Jackson Stuart has charge of the arrangements at the Lafayette Theatre on Friday.

TH Manhattan Casino GENERAL ADMISSION Advance sale of all tickets at T FORD T. DABNE benefit performances will be given afternoon and evening in aid of the Hope Day Nursery, Mrs. Daisy Reed has the arrangements in charge for that date. The Black Patti Musical Comedy Company, headed by Mme. Sissierette Jones (Black Patti) and Harrison Stewart, will appear at the Lafayette for one week only, opening on the afternoon of Monday. September 21. The company will present the new musical comedy, "Lucky Sam from Alabam." The company has been rehearsing in New York for several weeks and Manager-Voekelkel promises to uncover some most agreeable surprises. Mme. Jones, who is the race's foremost singer, has never been heard in Harlem before, and her visit is being looked forward to with great interest. The usual prices will prevail during the engagement of the Black Patti Company. The majority of aces on the hill at the Lafayette the first half pleased. Johnson, Smith and Johnson, who were the hit of the bill the second half of last week, and who were held over, are always sure of gathering in the applause when they work at full speed. When . DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS in good voice and trying, the female member of the trio can render a ragtime number as effectively as any vaudevillian in the business. Some dancer is the comedian and the straight man lives up to his reputation as a good piano player. Dr. Wallace and Company do an electrical act which is full of comedy. Grey and Robinson, who are just from abroad, do a dancing specialty which contains merit, the male number of the team in particular being a dancer far above the average. Nelson Mileage and Company in a humorous sketch; Graham and Hackett, zerobats, and Mary and Tista did their share to mape the bill one of variety and wholesome entertainment. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

Williams allowed only six scattered hits. Gatewood, who played in right field, made four hits in four times up. Hall was credited with the feature play of the second game.

This statement of the Lord of Life showed that the Kingdom of God was a real something within the. possible conception of man. To conceive {t and enter it. He de- manded of us supreme effort. Hence He says, “seek ye-firat ‘tho Kingdom of God.” Our first outlook” is to be in that direction; our first Individual inspection fs to have this thought In view our movements and our steps are to be made along the path of truth that leads into this Kingdom: our hope that bright and brilliant star of life, wag -not only to shine Dut to lead us over the ‘highway into that Kingdom, Our prayer-life {s to elude and rusb away from the’ element of human de- sire, Its one and only passion’ and ex- ‘pression Is, ‘The Kingdom ,of God. While collective groups may attempt to have this teaching to gulde them it is certain that fundamentally He in- tended that this truth should bo used by the Individual, Here are some of the things that the Individual must do in order to qualify himself for this service; the brutal, the selfish and the pride elements must be uprooted and cast out of the life. The regenrative force of divine love must be planted and developed in us by the Holy Spirit, He. the God with us, is to sustain and perpetuate our growth In this King- dom. The Kingdom 1s spiritual; the spirit life can only dwell therein: hence we are to pursue the thoughts that we are spirit and that we are conscious of. spirit reality. This consciousness creates for us the environment called the Kingdom of God. 5 ‘The Sunday Schoel classes were largely attended and the study of the lesson very interesting. Four scholars Joined. Wm.

Soft Shoe Sam Defiant But Discreet. Chagrined and provoked because his identity was pierced and he was forced to pay the reward of $5 in gold for being discovered, Soft Shoe Sam came back at the New Yorkers last week and offered $10 in gold if he was caught again. He says himself that in a deserved bargain he would have long chances. He says he visited most of the Harlem resorts last week, meeting. Will Vodery, Bert Williams and Chappell, who had just come from down town in Bert Williams' car. He visited the Lafayette Theatre on Thursday night, but did not hear the announcement that he would be permitted to walk across the stage on Saturday night. But in his desperate state of mind he determined to take a chance, he said in his letter to the National Exposition Company, and so went to the stage door for that purpose. He talked to Hibey Johnson who was in conversation with a white man. There was too much light on the stage, and he would not take a chance. In his letter to the management of the Autumn Festival, he explains his position as follows: You people have hired me to advertise the Autumn Exposition and Amusements Festival to be held at Manhattan Center Camping 20, 30, October 1 and 2. Now I walk about the town and say her I am, catch me, it will be nothing to you, but my reputation as being mysterious will fall below par, and I have to live after your exposition is over. For that reason I could not take the chance it was too open. However, I will give them all a chance on next Saturday to get me if they can. I will positively appear at the four corners of 135th street and Lenox avenue sometime between 6:30 and 10 o'clock on Saturday evening September-12. I will buy a paper from the southwest corner before I make my presentation to talk to the policeman stationed in the middle of the street and get his number. All of this will be done on Saturday evening. During the week, I will visit the following places: Mme. Allen's store, The New York Age Office, and, if possible, meet the editor of that paper. I am afraid they will know me at the Odessa Millinery, so I will not go there unless I am caught, and then I will have to go there to pay off. On Sunday, September 13 (hard luck day), I will go to New Rochelle and Mt. Vernon and mingle with the crowds there. Say: "In that Indian Summertime, a Harvest of good-things," then Little Soft Shoe Sam will gladly hand you ten.
