WHITMAN IS TO MAKE THE RACE First Candidate for Governor Named by Republicans Under New Law BARNES INFLUENCE WINS Whitman Is Nominated over Hinman and Hedges by a Majority Approximating 45,000 to 50,000 DAVENPORT BEATS SULZER Progressive Party Nomination Won by Regular Candidate—Sulzer Says He Will Run on Prohibition Ticket—Glynn Nominated to Succeed Himself. The first direct primary in the history of New York was held Tuesday, the principal officials voted for being Governor and United States Senator. Candidates on the Republican ticket were Charles A. Whitman, the present district attorney of New York; Job E. Hedges, and Harvey D. Hinman. Whitman was nominated by a plurality estimated at from 45,000 to 50,000, the result marking the triumph of the Barnes influence in the Republican party. For the United States Senate, complete returns will be necessary before the final result is known. James W. Wadsworth, Jr., appears to have run slightly behind his main opponent, William M. Calder, but returns from up-State district are cutting down Calder's lead to an extent that leads political wiseacres to believe Wadsworth will triumph. Other Nominations Uncertain. The result as to other positions on the State ticket is still in doubt. The indications are that Edward Schieffer has been chosen for lieutenant governor and Eugene M. Travis for controller. Frank M. Williams has been nominated for State engineer, while the results as between Francis M. Hugo and William D. Cunningham for secretary of state and Egbert E. Woodbury and Edward R. O'Malley remain doubtful. District Attorney Whitman expresses satisfaction with the result and declares his belief that he will be elected. Whitman and the candidate for United States Senate, will get together at once and select a successor to William Barnes as state chairman. Ogden L. Mills is the only avowed candidate for the position and he will have the support of New York County, in addition to considerable up-State influence. Different action may be taken, however, as there is an undercurrent of desire among some of the leaders to put an up-State man in the chair. Tammany Controls Democrata: Tammany retains absolute control of the Democratic machine, and Governor Glynn is renominated by a plurality of more than 100,000 over John A. Henness. For the United States Senate James W. Gerard, the present ambassador, this country to Germany, wins over Franklin D. Roosevelt by 'about 75,000. On the Progressive party ticket William Sulzer, the deposed Democratic Governor, made a bid for the nomination against Frederick M. Davenport, the party candidate. The Sulzer campaign was spectacular and the Bull Moose leaders were uncasy as to the result. That their fears had ground for justification is shown in the small majority by which Davenport won. Returns, incomplete at this time, indicate that Davenport will have not more than from one to four thousand over Sulzer. Sulzer declares he will be a candidate for Governor on the Prohibition party and the new American party. For the United States Senate nomination Bainbridge Colly, late of New Jersey, had no opposition. NEWARK'S VETERAN CHOIRMASTER QUITS NEWARK, N. J., Sept. 30.—After forty-six years active service as a member and worker in the 13th avenue Presbyterian Church, the Rev. E. F. Eggleston, pastor. Professor Boston B.

September 27, qt close of the night service, and the passing of the senior choir was accentuated to those members of the congregation who knew of the resignations by the selection as a recessional of the hymn, "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." Prof. Purvis, his wife, and members of his family have for a number of year-earnt, the greater part of their usefulness in promoting the musical advancement of the choir and congregation of the 13th Avenue Church.

BISHOP HARRIS NOT GUILTY OF ARSON ASHIREVILLE, N. C., Sept. 30—A verdict of not guilty was handed down in the Superior Court here on Tuesday in the case of Bishop C. R. Harris, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, W. J. Trent, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of Atlanta, Ga., Dr. Walker and the trustees of the Zion Church, who were on trial charged with arson because of the burning of the local church two years ago. The case was called Monday morning and it was 'soon evident that there was not the least scintilla of proof by which Bishop Harris and his co-defendants could be charged with complicity in the matter of the church burning. The charge against them was fledged by W. J. Holland and another who were expelled from the connection and from the ministry for violations of the church law. Bishop Harris, Prof. Trent, Dr. Walker and the others are being flooded with congratulatory messages at their acquittal. 4 [Image of a person with a dark background and a white face.] From Atlantic City, N. J. SEGREGATION IS AGAIN ATTEMPTED AT CORNELL Daughter of Late Howard University Professor Victim of Race Prejudice OTHER ATTEMPTS DEFEATED Third Time in History of Cornell That Southern Prejudice Has Tried to Secure Foothold—Aggressive Opposition Prevented Success. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE THACA, N. Y., Sept. 30.—For the third time in the history of Cornell University an attempt is being made to segregate a student because, of race prejudice. The victim of the latest attempt is Miss Adelaide Cook of Washington, D. C., whose father was the late Prof. Charles C. Cook of Howard University, Miss Cook, on entering this year, secured quarters in Sage College, the dormitory for woman students. A few days after occupying her room five girls filed a petition with President Schurman, objecting to her presence in the dormitory. In the dining room she was ushered into a dining room apart from the other students. Mrs. Cook Will Fight the Attempt. Miss Cook's mother is in Ithaca and the two women went to see President Schurman. The president advised yielding to the sentiment expressed by the southern girls and offered to reserve for Miss Cook a separate, bath and room. Mrs. Cook declares she will remain in Ithaca and fight to a finish this plain attempt at segregation which is diametrically opposed to the cardinal principles of the founder of the school, Ezra Cornell, who said: "I would found an institution where ANYONE would receive instruction on any subject." About four years ago two young women, Miss Pauline Ray and Miss Rosa Vassar, were refused admittance to the P ```markdown ``` THE NEW YORK TIMES girls' dormitory because of their color, and it was only after a strenuous fight that they were permitted to enter. Last year the authorities attempted to segregate the Negro students in the boys' dormitory, but the issue was met with unrelenting aggressiveness and the effort was finally abandoned. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 29.—The recent tragic death of Allen Allenworth, a retired chaplain of the United States army, meant the passing of one of the first colored army chaplains appointed after the emancipation of the Negro. Col. Allenworth was struck and fatally injured by a motorcycle in Monrovia, Cal., a small town. He was taken to a hospital, where it was found that his skull was fractured in two places. He died the following day. The deceased was born of slave parents in Louisville, Ky., April 3, 1843. His master, becoming alarmed at the rapid progress that he was stealthily making along educational lines, sent him to New Orleans to be sold in 1861. He brought $1,000 and was used as a jockey. The following fall his new owner brought him back to Kentucky, he left it in 1863 and enlisted in the United States Navy. After the war he entered the Nashville Institute, which is now known as Roger Williams University. He taught school in Kentucky for years and then the apostle minister. He was financial agent for the Colored Baptist Convention of Kentucky and later pastored several churches in that State. He also took a prominent part in Republican politics and in 1880 was a presidential elector-at-large for Kentucky, on the Garfield-Arthur ticket. In 1882 he became pastor of the Union Baptist Church and was serving there when President Cleveland appointed him chaplain of the 24th Infantry in 1886. He was retired a few years ago with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He had been a leading spirit in the promotion of Allensworth, a Negro settlement near here.

MANY WOMEN OF RACE LARGE WAGE EARNERS Some Women in Harlem Who Are Conducting Successfully Their Own Affairs CLIO SCHOOL OF SCIENCES A Unique Institution Conducted by a Capable and Talented Woman-Another Versatile Woman Can Make Living in Several Different Ways. In the pursuit of its investigations into housing and economic conditions in Harlem, The Age has come in contact with some peculiar conditions. There is every reason to believe that valuable results will follow developments accruing from the systematic research which the representatives of this paper are making. Already it has been discovered that there are a number of men and women of the Negro race qualified for and filling positions of highest importance in commercial and professional lines, and the investigation has brought out also the fact that there are many persons of ability and attainment not known by the general public. One interesting fact disclosed is that many of the women of the race are employed in lines of endeavor, either in their own businesses or as employees, which bring in incomes equal to and sometimes in excess of the incomes enjoyed by men. Some of these women are told of in this article. A Unique Institution. Harlem boasts of many unique institutions, but none will be found to which that title can more rightly be applied than the Clio School of Mental Sciences, conducted by Mme. Adena C. E. Minott, Ph.B., M.S., a graduate of the MacDonnall College of Phrenology and Psychology, Washington, D. C., and a graduate and fellow of the Fowler and Wells American Institute of Phr- THE LIFE OF MARY C. BURTON M. THE LAND OF THE LION A. M. E. CHAUTAUQUA UPHOLD WILBERFORCE Special to The NEW YORK ACE ASBURY PARK, N. J., Sept. 29.—Sharp resentment was voiced at the meeting of the A. M. E. Chautauqua held here Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, against the tenor of an article appearing in the August Crisis regarding the work being done at Wilberforce University. The chauquaqua was the third annual one held under the auspices of the ministers and laymen of the first episcopal district of the A.M. M. E. Church and was largely attended. The primary purpose for the holding of the same is the aiding of Wilberforce University. President William S. Scarsborough, who was present delivered an address outlining the work being done at the school. The ministers applauded vigorously his defense of the university. Many of the ministers had clips from THE NEW YORK AGE of September 10 containing a defense of the university. The defense was written by Dr. Scarsborough and was entitled "The New Wilberforce." The chauquaqua raised $1,158 for the university and pledged a larger sum for the meeting next year, which will be held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York City. Others who took part in the exercises included Bishop Evans Tyrecer who preached the opening, sermon and presided; Prof. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education for the A. M. F. Church, who gave a general review of the educational work being done by the church, and Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, the denominational organ. When asked by a representative of THE AGE regarding the Crisis story, Dr. Scarborough said that he was forced to make an answer in the race press as Dr. W. F. B. DuBois, editor of the magazine, seemed disinclined to correct the impression that had been made by certain statements therein, which the university authorities regarded as jimical to the best interests of the institution. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30—Major Christian A. Fleetwood, a civil war veteran and long-time resident of this city, died Monday morning at his home. The funeral will be held Thursday, October 1; and will probably be largely attended. AUTUMN EXPO IS GREAT SHOW All of New York Should Attend this Festival, Which Closes Friday Night BEAUTY CONTEST AWARDS Announcement Made of Prize Winners in The Age. Beauty Contest and the Prizes Will Be Awarded Thursday Night FREE CANDY FOR DANCERS The Serpentine and Spot Dances Are Put on by the Casino Management and Pounds of Fine Candy Are Distributed — Selgendid Attractions Billed. What is without doubt the most pretentious venture ever promoted for the Negroes of New York and virginity is conducted this week at the Manhattan Casino by the National Exposition and Advertising Co. The Autumn Exposition and Amusement Festival opened Monday night, and when the doe were opened Manhattan Casino had been the most reconstructed inside. Many of the prominent firms in the business world, both white and colored, had fitted up booths on both main and balcony floors, and in the park as well, and the decorations of the booths, with the myriads of additional lights, had transformed the already beautiful casino until it was hardly recognizable. Messrs. Rogers, Shipp and their coworkers, in the preliminary announcements concerning the affair, made many promises, and they have the satisfaction of knowing that every promise made has been kept in its most literal sense. The attendance on the first two nights was small—entirely too small for the expensive and meritorious entertainment provided. A cleaner or more attractive and enjoyable exhibition than that presented at Manhattan Casino this week has never been presented upon a stage in New York—or any other city, for that matter. Monday night's program afforded all sorts of thrills. Hillebrand de DeLong, with an act that has created a sensation wherever seen, opened the Bill followed by the Ladies' Orchestra from the Martin-Smith School of Music, in several selections; the Five Musical Palmers, an enjoyable musical act; Le Great Mondaye, widely heralded as one of the world's greatest athletes, a marvel of Negro manhood, whose work upheld his reputation; the Bocked Ben Ali's troupe of Arabs, whose ground and loot tumbling, feats of strength and almost supernatural agility ended the program of sensational features. Midway of the program the management introduced Henry S. Creamer and Miss Hattie Christian, his dancing partner, who for more than six months have been demonstrating the modern dances at the Central Casino, and who give instruction in the maxiise and tango with such notable success that they have been dubbed the "Black Castles." Mr. Creamer and Miss Christian gave a finished exhibition that won for them the unbounded admiration and unstinted applause of the audience. This talented couple is appearing every night during the week, and every afternoon will give free instruction in the modern dances from 2.30 to 6.30 o'clock. Tuesday night's program was no whit less sensational. On the bill were Loretta & Christian, novelty and comedy jugglers; Atlantis, Fisk and Jack; and the Harrington's Clown Revoking Ladder Act. Le Great Mondaaye appeared and Creamer & Christian again delighted the audience with clever exemplifications of the modern dance. The Ago's Beauty Contest. The report of the judges in the Beauty Contest conducted by THE NEW YORK Age, which closed Monday, September 1, was announced from the stage by Official Announcer Leigh Whipper. The report, with list of winners, is given in full in another column, and the awards will be made to all of the prize-winning beauties who are present at the Casino on Thursday night. —Handsome solid gold bar pins, suitably engraved, will be given each of the ladies, and in addition a solid gold lavaliere in fleur-de-lis design, set with pearls, opals and rubies, will be awarded as a special prize for New York and vicinity. The photographs of the "Chosen Fifteen" are being placed in a special frame by the New York Picture Frame Co. and will be placed on exhibition Thursday evening in a prominent location at the Casino. Souvenir sheets, containing half-tone reproductions of the ladies, will be given free of charge to all who attend. In the issue of The. Age of October 8 the "Chosen Fifteen" will be printed with their names and addresses. The prizes for the out-of-town winners will be promptly sent by registered mail at conclusion of the exposition. Proprietor: Waldron Co-operates. Edward Waldron, proprietor of Manhattan Casino, has given the utmost cooperation and support, to the efforts of the promoters of the exposition. Every part of the plant has been placed at the disposal of the men and he has permeated it to that there was no lack in anything he might make for the season of the festivities. Unexpectedly on Sunday night the sent this message Mr. Miller on the dance floor, and put on for the dancers the serpentine dance, followed by the spot dance, in which pound boxes of the finest candies were given to the dancers. In one dance alone one one-pound boxes were distributed. The same thing was done on Tuesday night, and Mr. Waldron announces that he will continue the spot dances through the week. The spot dances will be made a feature of every evening's dance program. Thursday night will be Composers and Reminiscent Night, and all of the songs composed and made fangus by Williams & Walker, Cole & Johnson and Ernest Hogan, will be played and sung. Many, of the latter-day composers, including James Reese Europe, J. Rosaward Johnson, Will H. Tyers, Will H. Bison, Will H. Vodery, Ford T. Dahney, and Will M. Marion Cook will conduct an augmented orchestra in their own compositions. Henry Troy and Arthur, Payne will sing Richard B. Harrison, the dramatic reader, will recite from Paul Laurence Dunbar, with special orchestral accompaniment, and Creamer & Christian and Le Great Mondaye will introduce new features. The Negro Choral, Society of New York, Inc., H. Lawrence Freeman, founder and director, is offered as a special attraction and will render two selections. Friday will be the children's day, and from early afternoon, when the Boy Scouts will be in force, until Mother Goose puts her last little kid to bed at night; there will be something doing for the children. Under the direction of Mrs. Dora Cole Norman more than 250 children have been trained and will take part in the Mother Goose Pageant Friday night. The sketch and rhymes have been arranged by Alex. Rogers and Jessie Shipp, while Will Vodery and James Reese Europe have attended to the musical settings. Every child in the building will be given a free souvenir gift Friday night. The Exhibits.

One or two new business enterprises show their possibilities and the long-felt want they fill. Works of art on exhibition arouse favorable admiration from all who see them.

Mr. Elicia and Mr. Tappin have their hands full display of exquisite enlarged photographs of the price-winner or New York and vicinity in THE AGE's Beauty Contest.

RESULTS OF THE PRIM ARIES. The primaries have been held and the voters of the various parties selected those they desire to vote for in the coming election. The Republicans have, we believe, selected a winning ticket. As Republicans, however, we should not vote for the man selected until we know absolutely where these candidates stand on matters of vital interest to the Negroes. MINISTERIAL DEADBEATS MINISTERIAL DEADBEATS We have been carrying on our books the names of two ministers who owe us money for papers sent them. We have made respectful demands of them to pay us this money. Each one of them stands high in his church and each was passed by the bishop of his conference, notwithstanding we previously advised this particular bishop of the character of these two preachers. One of them wrote us of date July 9, 1914: "I have not answered you because I could not make good. I now see my way clear to settle the balance due you. I need not name reasons why it has not been settled. That won't help. I would not for anything deprive you of what you deserve. I have not used the money, but I alone am responsible and you shall have it when my next payment is made." The other preacher gave us an N. G. check which he has not yet made good. These two preachers are each Sunday preaching honesty to their congregations. We refrain for the present from giving the public their names. If they still refuse we shall publish them as dishonest. We have a number of other agents in the same class. The Negro papers suffer much through dishonest agents. We shall hereafter keep a black list of such reprehensible characters for the benefit of the press. SEGREGATION THAT COUNTS It is very noticeable that whenever the average white man, speaking to a colored audience in our Northern cities wants to get the cheers and applause of such an audience, he proclaims in an eloquent and loud tone that he is against segregation, referring, of course, to the fact that he is against segregation in Washington, and in the cities. We are glad to have the voice and influence of every white man whose service, we can command against segregation in all forms, but the segregation that counts most against our race is the kind of segregation that the average white man in speaking to a Negro audience, seldom refers to. We mean the segregation that is vital to the prosperity of our race—the kind of segregation that prevents a Negro from working in the North en a brick wall, at a carpenter's bench, in a machine shop, in a printing, TOO MANY SALOONS IN HARLEM. Harlem is infested with too many saloons for the good of the 40,000 Negroes in that section. Not less than seventy saloons and fifteen barrel houses thrive by selling whiskey principally to members of the race. Much of the whiskey sold is of that brand referred to as "the kind that makes you fight your mother." There are Negroes in Harlem who are addicted to the habit of filling their stomachs day and night with cheap whiskey and who eat but little wholesome food. Crime largely follows this complete surrender to the Demon Rum. Of the seventy saloons in the Harlem district about nine are operated by colored men. The bulk of the profits go to the white saloonkeeper and the barrelhouse owner. Many of the saloons run by white men exert a most harinful influence over the Negro. To a large number of colored men in Harlem a "swell saloonkeeper" means one who will lend you money to buy all you want to drink in his place. The bigger the "tab" he lets you run the better you like him. Consequently, there are many "popular" white saloonkeepers. The colored saloonkeeper seems to have a difficult time making a living at best. He has to run a rathskeller in connection with his saloon and do many other things not to his liking to attract those who spend much of their time and money in thirst emporiums. And yet, many of the saloons operated by white men, with their side door entrances and wine rooms, do more to degrade the Negro women than the colored establishments. It is common knowledge that in Harlem many buffet flats are the outgrowth of barrel houses. The white dealer in liquor has no interest in the morals of our women and it is time for the churches and the civic league in Harlem to take action and see that some of these white saloonkeepers and barrelhouse owners are put out of business, or be compelled to change their ways to an appreciable extent. It is for self-respecting colored men and women of the community to see to it that conditions are greatly improved and that less temptations are put in the way of unsophisticated young men and women. Let us commence to take more interest in our young people. The colored saloonkeepers have expressed a desire to conduct their business along legitimate lines, and the colored citizens of Harlem and other sections should aid them in their commendable endeavor. THERE MUST BE A GENUINE REFORM ALL ALONG THE LINE! office, as a stenographer, as a saleswoman, as a clerk, as a reporter, as an editor, the segregation that debars Negro women from earning a living in the same shop with white women; the same segregation that debars Negro men from earning a living at the same occupations as white men; segregation, in a word, that strikes at our vitals, at the life of the race. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY "PREACHERS AND GRAFT." To the Editor of The Ake: I simply write these lines to commend your position in the editorial under the above caption appearing in The Ake of a recent date. Among the many things said in that editorial, you spoke of a disposition extant: among certain high church officials who hold the bellion who hold the manhood and back bone to speak out in condemnation of We wish we could hear more from white readers concerning this kind of segregation. We wish we might hear it proclaimed from the house tops that they favor Negroes working at the same trades that the white people work at, right by the side of the white people; that they favor putting colored women into offices as typewriters, as stenographers, as bookkeepers, as cashiers; that they favor widening the field of occupations of colored men, instead of confining them to porters, janitors, window-washers, elevator runners and the like. The segregation that hurts is the segregation that prevents a colored man, in a large establishment, from being anything but an elevator runner or a porter. That kind of segregation we should hear more of in the future. This affects hundreds of thousands of our people and is fundamental to our progress. Not a few Northerners show an inclination to shout from the house-tops against segregation in Washington, four or five hundred miles away, when these same white people would not permit a Negro clerk, a Negro typesetter, or a Negro-brick mason, or a Negro carpenter, or a young Negro woman stenographer or typewriter to come within a hundred yards of their office to do some actual, practical work. What is the difference between segregating colored people in offices at Washington and segregating them every day in the year right at our own doors in the ordinary vocations of life? The war in Europe is a long way from the United States but really too close for comfort. The war in Mexico appears to be at an end, but there seem to remain differences between General VILLA and General CARRANZA that may lead to more war. War is now in full swing in Europe, Asia and Africa, and only the United States and Latin America are not in it. How long they can remain out of it remains to be seen. It is easier to start a prietie fire than to prevent the spread of it. In a situation where everybody is prepared to fight it is hard to keep anybody out, when once the fight has been started. The Government is being urged to prevent the export of foodstuffs to Europe that may be needed at home. It should not be necessary to urge the Government to do that. We need all of our foodstuffs at home, and shall need them, until the war in Europe is ended. The surplus we have after the home need has been met, can readily disposed of with foodstuffs, and speculators in other countries. The government themselves is not only out of the question, but monstrous. We should keep our food supplies at home and use the utmost economy in using them until the warring nations have ceased from fighting. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY "PREACHERS AND GRAFT." To the Editor of The Art: To the Editor of The Axe: I simply write these lines to commend your position in the editorial universe and appear in the Axe. A recent date. Among the many things said in that editorial, you spoke of a disposition extant: among cerainl high church officials to tyrannize and buld-hoe we want the manhood and back bone to shake that manhood and back bone condition that militated against the best interest of the church. Usually such an individual was "marked for slaughter," as they called it, branded as a malcontent, breeded of strife, was accused of being a "watch him." Thus many an honest minister has been made to suffer, and often driven from the church of his choice for simply daring to be a man, it is a source of pleasure to hundreds of Churches to see this grudge taken up by the secular press of the country for the official organs of the various Negro Methodist Churches are usually censored, and dare not publish the news of their crimes. There is another curse of the Negro Methodist Churches and the Episcopal "Big Stick" has clubbed hundreds of hitherto manly men into silence, and turned them into cunning cowards and thinkers for favors. We hope that they only The Age, but other secular Negro newspapers will turn on the light. Personally we are and have been for years the object of contumely for no other cause than we have fearlessly spoken on these things. But now that our ministerial life draws to a close, we must be to the in place to know what a man can be a real man, and at the same time be a Methodist minister. Rev. E. M. ARGYLE. Maryville, Tenn. BELGIUM AND THE CONGO. To the Editor of The Age. After reading the alleged crimes, atrocities and destruction committee by the hordes of the "War Lord" in Belgium in general and Louvain in particular, as set forth by the Belgian commission which arrived in this country in 1915, they took the task as to opinion. Naturally, our heart and sympathies are with the valiant race of people who fought so bravely for their freedom and all that was dear to them, but snows not degrees of America hesitate a moment and point out that we readily sympathize with the Belgians and their national calamity? "Peaceful inhabitants" were massacred, defenseless women and children were outraged, open and undefended when they were destroyed. We read the commissioner's report. But the wish to draw attention to is this: Not many years ago the same report could with perfect justice and truth have been issued from darkest Africa, name-calling cruel and notorious Leoond, king of the Belgians, exacted a cruel toll from the innocent natives of the jungle. Of course, these poor people had and have been put into the fate of sufferings in the world. The Belgians the world. If they had, it only would have aroused indifferent contempt. As we look Jack, fate and destiny seem to be exacting their just reward from the world. Leoond's agents seized, overran, and enshrined the defenseless black; cut off hands and committed other atrocities. If sufficient rubber was not collected, the people would have formed of the mailed fat, stitches them, seizes and has overran Belgium, and the people suffer, because they do not produce indemnity fast enough. Here we have two remarkable analyses of the suffer for the greed, gratification and lust of two mad rulers. New York City. I have been dwelling for some days in Boston, which is called the center of civilization and culture. I have been reading from time to time the three or four colored papers published in Boston. The thing that strikes a stranger about these papers is to note how little petty goosam, with little petty details relating to petty actions of the race. In fact, one could not find in the bluestone of the house the brown paper whose colours are so consistently filled with which reflect descent on the rose as in true of the papers published here in Boston. These papers seem to have gotten down a lot, and they do not, in fact, pline and they do not, in fact, how the low plane, upon which the papers are being conducted, strikes an outlier. I wonder, if the white people in Boston ever see these black papers. If they people, who must get a very discouraging progress of the colored people in Boston. I advise the editors of these papers to get hold of the papers published in the South and try to pattern after the example set by these papers and pitch an editorial column upon a higher plane. How to Strengthen the Army. To the Editor, of The Age: Knowing the interest you take in anything affecting the welfare of our race I desire to make a proposition to hope, may meet with your approval. Owing to the fierceness of the war which is now being fought in Europe, the large, number of men engaged, the stupendous scale on which its operations are being carried out, the audacity of Germany in flouting the whole civilized world by violating the neutrality of peaceful Belgium, I have not the least doubt that the milliliters of blood before its close, begin to pour upon Congress plans for the—reorganization and increase in our military establishment. Neither have I any doubt that the military will be more capable and that some scheme evolves by the general staff out of these recommendations will be accepted whereby the regular army will be enlarged and the army will be forced than our present militia be ordered. One fact has only to read the current issues of the military publications to see that the militarists are already aware of the changes in shape for an effective and if not effective siege against Congress to that end. Knowing your sentiments as regards war, as often expressed in the columns of the Ago, I would say right here the calamity howlers who believe that we imminent danger of invasion by some foreign power, but long service has convinced me of the weakness of our army as a fighting force due to the lack of concert in training, our contempt of authority, and many other causes; and I am confident that for all our boasting, our army, if placed against an equal number of troops of the enemy, I am confident in doing the bulk of fighting in Europe during the present month, or that fought in the Balkan war would suffer inglorious defeat. Neither am I a militarist, believe in universal peace, sary to have jails and penitentiaries to restrain the bad so long will there be wars. In other words, you can't reform the nations before you reform the people; those nations are the people, and when the disarmament was completed they would simply go ahead and arm again. You may persuade nations to disarm but you can't prevent men from infiltrating. And when the nations have reduced their armaments by agreement each nation will gladly purchase from its respective citizens any new inventions which may be reputed to have the power to infiltrate and in this way go right ahead again trying to get ahead of its neighbor in the number of such implements possessed. Negro Shares Burden in All Wars. In any war in which the United States may be engaged, as in the past, the Negro will be anxious to share his against some, weak power like Sinai or Mexico, where we are sure of the result even before the declaration of hostilities, will be those who will serve his country, and there may come again those who will be 'lectured for' their feverish desire to get into the war; but should the clash be with some such power as Germany, France or Spain, the United States will Canada) our services will be only too gladly accepted. In such an event what would be our prospects? Although we now have four regiments of Negroes with all officers white except three, which white officers are accepted by the men as a matter of course, few self respecting Negroes in this 'day of regiments offered by white men. In short, we would feel called upon as a matter of self respect to demand Negro officers. The war department would only ask where are they to come from, and would hinge on that one question. We well know that our high schools and colleges are annually turning out numbers of young men, who, for the most part, are well educated; but in these days the art of war by civilized nations is reduced to a science, as may be gathered by reading the reports of the military schools of the country (especially the Germans, the greatest scientists on earth) in gaining an advantage over the other. There are some dozen schools in the army for the military training of the youth, which has a Negro officer over attended, besides numerous state military schools all over the country for the military training of the youth, which has a Negro officer over attended, besides numerous state military schools for officers provision is made for the attendance of militia officers in order that the militia may receive as much of the regular army leave as possible. Also a large army and a very large number of non-commissioned officers are constantly on duty with the militia regiments of the several states as instructors. There being practically all the schools none attend. There being but little militia (colored) one sergeant, possibly two, are on duty with colored militia, out of a total of one hundred militia officers. You may get fairly good line officers by appointing trusted old sergeants to the commissioned grades, but they will not do (or the scientific methods now used to send unarmed soldiers) against them, would be folly, and they under untrained officers would be madness. To the Beauty Contest Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE. In rendering an opinion as to the reasons for making selection of the successful competitors in the Beauty Contest conducted by THE NEW YORK AGE, the Judges beg leave to submit the following statement: 1. We do not assume that the selections made are the most beautiful women in the country, but that they were the most representative types of the beauty of Negro women as shown in the two hundred or more photographs submitted to THE AGE. 2. In selecting these photographs the Judges have carefully considered the Type, the Regularity of Features, Character Definition, Pose, etc. In some cases where photographs were rejected, the eyes were not advantageously presented, expression not readily or suitably shown. 3. In reaching this decision the Judges have dealt with the photographic showing strictly, and in no wise have considered any personal attribute not shown in the photographs.

Mr. Barbour of 1013 Chaple street After noting the humiliating attempts of the Negroes of two states to secure regiments of their color without success I am of the opinion that it should be put up to Congress to take the preclude as to ignore what would be a valuable asset in a war with a strong power. "This is my plan:" Such a law would obvate the humiliating attempts to raise that resisting them would be there being nothing said about the lack of education among the officers, would have a tendency to instill pride in the officers, only the better glass would be enlisted. Now, I am aware that agitating for the raising of soldiers is a for cry from the uplift work being done by such schools. I am aware that we should be a staunch supporter. I have long been an observer, at a distance, it is true, of the work done, at that school and others of its kind; have been for many years a reader of the book, with that japonic Tuskegee, Book*A*T*Washington, in all that he is doing and attempting to do, but I believe that our people would well attack all occupations and let their versatility be only by those which bound the I am well aware that it, would be futile to attempt such legislation at the present time, but it may not be impossible to get this through on the wave of the war. I am aware of the healing of more sturdy news of the operations of the European armies. Congress will be flooded with all kinds of schemes for the increase of the forces of the country. I believe this to be true and military action will, though I am well aware that prejudice would make of it a wild and dangerous scheme, and I could refer you to military experts of my acquaintance who, I believe, would NEGRO SOLDIER.

The school is located at 135 West 130th street, in a four-story and basement brown stone building, containing fourteen comfortably furnished rooms, owned by Prof. Minott. Here she gives a thorough and practical course in pharenology, physiognomy, psychology and kindred subjects, and the theoretical and practical branches are thoroughly covered. Pref. Minott claims that the course enables one to read, character at first sight, and gives a knowledge of one's own ability, besides teaching how to obtain and retain health and how to use psychology in business. These sciences teach parents to understand the temperament of their different children; to best control them in the home and every day life. The school has nothing to do with fortune telling, neither does it pretend to give, the power to predict future events. One hundred and eighty-seven students, of whom only three were colored, have graduated from the school. Dr. York Russell, the well known physician of the city is one of the graduates. The school has an advisory board composed of the following persons: Fred R. Moore, chairman, Frances R. Keyser, vice-chairman, Mme. Adena C. E. Minot' secretary and treasurer, Menko H. Wolfe, Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, the Rev. W. I. Brooks and the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop. The School Home. In connection with the school Mme, Mnout conducts the Clio School Home.

Société Tue Nive, Nive Special in the New York Arc JERSEY CITY, N. J., Sept. 30.—Dr. George E. Cannon, 354 Pacific avenue, recently made a trip through a section of the South, in company with his fami- ly, on route to the session of the N ational Medical Association at Raleigh, N. C. Finding that the jim crew system enabled injustice and inconvenience upon the colored passengers, and finding the railroad companies indifferent to the welfare of that class of patrons, Dr. Cannon took on the matter by correspondence with H. F. Carey, general pass- enger agent of the Southern Railway, Washington, D. C. The following is the correspondence which passed: September 12, 1814. Mr. H. F. Carey, Glen Pass Agent, Southern R. R. Washington, D. C. Dear Sir, As a patron of your road, I wish to call your attention to a condition of business accommodation which I find should be brought to the attention of the officers of your company, as I believe it is the policy of a great corporation like yours to be mindful of the comfort of its patrons. I was born in the South; have many relatives there, and business interests; which necessitate my patronizing your road. I feel my duty to lay the discom- here and elsewhere of my last life before you. I left here with my wife and two children (four faces), August 13 for Chattanooga, via Bristol, with Pullman accommodations. We left Chattanooga at 10.20 p. m., August 22 for Greenaboro, N.C. Being refused Pullman accommodations, we were ushered into this "colored car," which consisted of a small section of a coach partitioned off, with three regulation seats on each side and one at the end—seats for fourteen passengers. There was also a small smoking room, the car was dity, and over twenty passengers packed into this little space, filling the seats and all four women and children, thus packed and jammed, rode all night, to Ashoville. There was only one toilet for both men and women—very embarrassing to the women. The larger section of the coach was used by the white passengers for a smoker. At Asheville, we waited two hours for connection to Greenboro. When we went into the station, we found the toilets for colored men and women too filthy to use, and lacking in the ordinary equipment. We left Asheville at 9.10 a. m. for Greenboro, in a coach, half baggage car and half for colored people. While this car was not as valuable as the train, the man was a little better than the previous one, as it had separate toilets for men and women, and was not filled with smoke from the "white smoker." We left Greenboro for Raleigh at 9.40 a. m. August 24. On this train, an entire coach was set apart for colored people. It was clean and the seats were comfortable. This coach had a partition about one-third back from one end, with a small smoking room within the smaller section. The larger section of this coach afforded children, while the men who felt like it lounged in the smaller section. Besides, this coach contained the usual comforts of the standard coaches. At Raleigh, we joined a party of physicians and ladies, at the close of our National Medical Convention, and returned over the Seaboard, on a special car. During my trips over your road, I have found the colored waiting rooms unclean, as a rule; the colored section of the coach dirty; no effort made to see all the passengers have seats; colored passengers, not allowed to get on train in front of station platform and walk through the train to their section, but must walk off small platforms along the track and scramble on the train as best they can. There was no evidence of forethought for the comfort of colored passengers. Your road is extensively patronized by colored people, and the placing of an entire coach at their disposal would greatly lessen their burden of travel. I have stated to you the actual inconveniences and the discomfort—even impositions. With a large class of your passengers are daily subjected to, not in a spirit of malice, but with the hope that more favorable consideration will be given colored passengers. While not conceding the justice of the laws, that now govern passenger traffic on your road, I realize that the railroad's only choice is to obey the law. At the same time, it is within the power of the railroad officials to remedy the evils I have complained of. And, in behalf of a race, whose burdens are already too heavy, I appeal to your spirit of fairness to provide the usual comforts of travel for your colored passengers, who deal with you on a fair business basis, by paying you full fare for their transportation. Yours truly, (Signed) GEO. E. CANNON. (COPY) Sutherland Railway Company, Office of the Passenger Traffic Department. 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D. C. September 16, 1914. A-W. SL31655. Complaint: George E. Cannon, M. D. Dr. Geo. E. Cahnon, 354 Pacific Avenue. Jersey City, N. J. Dear SIR: Acknowledging receipt of your favor of the 12th instant. We are very sorry to note that you feel you have cause for complaint and we desire to assure you that we fully appreciate our colored patronage. This is a matter which we have endeavored to give close and careful attention, as we certainly want to do everything possible for the comfort and convenience of all our patrons. We thank you for your letter and will take pleasure in bringing the particular occurrences referred to therein to the attention of the proper officer in charge for the improvement of the service. Yours truly, (Signed) H. F. CAREY, General Passenger Agent. WASHINGTON, D. C. Washington, D.

MONDAY marked the opening of the regular season at the Lafayette Theatre and favorable weather conditions, a strong vaudieville bill and big houses at both afternoon and evening performances all helped to make the occasion an auspicious one. The lobby and stage were especially decorated for the opening with palms and potted plants, which greatly, enhanced the appearance of the house. The first half of the week could be aptly referred to as "clean-up week," as almost every act on the bill went big. This is particularly true of the colored acts. One of the big hits of a big bill were the Blanks Sisters, who hail from the Middle West. Two young women with exceptional voices, who put over their numbers in an original manner and very effectively, the Blanks Sisters are destined to make great advancement before the footlights. One of the sisters possesses a deep contralto voice, while the other is a soprano. Two good ballads instead of one would not be out of keeping in this entertaining skit. BIRLEANNA BLANKS Tim and Hester Moore have long been favorites in Harlem, but it was not until this week that they were given an opportunity to appear in a Harlem theatre of any size. As usual, they were a riot. Tim Moore is a natural comedian who is funny when he talks, funny when he sings and funny when he dances. The material used by the act shows that intelligence has been put into play in its construction. Hester Moore is a good foil for her most promising husband*. The Porto Rico Girls, who are always given a rousing welcome at the Lafayette, are back once more, enjoying headline position. Louis H. Saulsbury, Maggie Davis and Ida Day continue to stand out in their specialties, while the young women in the chorus are just as pretty and graceful as ever. A number of new songs are being used and some of the new costumes are very refreshing. The Porto Rico Girls have the best colored picture act in vaudeville. "Fun in a Grocery Store" is the name of one of the acts on the bill which pleased immensely. The funny situations in the act keep the audience in a merry mood. Lloyd & Reading, good dancers, and Lizzie B. Raymond also appeared in respective turns. The Porto Rico Girls, the Blanks Sisters and Tim and Hester Moore have been held over for the second week. Colored Acts From Abroad. There has been a general exodus of colored performers from Europe to America within the past three weeks, occasioned by the big European war, and it is predicted that within the next four weeks there will be but few colored performers abroad. Many of the acts have been in foreign lands for over twenty years, while some have not seen America for ten and twelve years. There are in New York just now colored foreign acts galore, and more are coming on each ship. Some of them have been away so long that their ways and clothes stamp them as strictly foreign, and quite to the contrary of some white people in this country who have a peculiar idea of how a colored person should act and look, these dark-skinned thespians are not "just putting on airs", but are acting natural. Living in Paris for fifteen years, or residing in London for a similar length of time, is bound to make you a creature of environment just as it affects one in this country. Colored Americans talk and act differently in the various parts of the United States, even if an effort is made to make ten million people alike in every respect. It cannot be denied that by reason of environment the Southern white man and the Southern colored man talk and act more alike than do the Southern white man and the Northern white man or the Southern colored man and the Northern colored man. Then why should not colored people who live in Paris, Berlin or London unconsciously fall into the ways and customs of the people, even though some white Americans become somewhat vicious in their attempts to make those of dark skin appear in every-day life as they (white Americans) picture them and think they should be? Among the acts and entertainers either in New York or will soon be in the metropolis are the Carr Brothers. Washington Trio, Ida, Forcene, Rastus & Banks, "Gus" Haston, Jennie Scheper, Four Black Diamonds, Brooks & Duncan, Four Troubadours, Mattie Wilkes, Ollie Burgery, Pearl Hopson, Charlie Johnson, Scott & Whaley, Leo Bailey, Sirene Newarro, Andrew Sisters, Carlisle & Welmon, Elmer Spigglass, John Glass, Mert Segar, Walter Richardson and Fred-Andrew. Many of these acts are rated high in Europe, where the theatrical business is now at a low ebb. Arrangements, are being made by the Lafayette Theatre management to play as many of the foreign colored acts as possible, and next week the Washington Trio and the Carr Brothers, assisted by their two female partners, will head a big bill.

THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN UNION For thirteen years the Young Men's Christian Association and for over ten years the Young Women's Christian Association have been occupying buildings erected for dwelling houses and lacking most of the features needed for association work. The buildings are inadequate and poorly equipped. In spite of these facts the association work in this city among colored men and women has been strong in its progress. The associations are both badly hampered in their efforts by the lack of suitable buildings. During the past year payments on the pledges made by the colored people of New York City for new buildings have amounted to $13,696.07, but $28,444.50 is still due. Above is shown a picture of the Chicago Wabash avenue branch of the Colored Y. M. C. A. New York will have one like it and also a suitable building for women in a very short RALEIGH, N. C. Raleigh.
