THIS MAMMY COULDN'T LOSE HER CHILDREN Socialist to True New York Special to THE NEW YORK AGE PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Oct. 7 — "Tied by the apron string, last Saturday were ten little children, who were the mummy, Mrs. Sally Johnson, to them the Navy Yard at Jack Island sight seeing. Her older son John is in the navy, attached to one of the battleships, and she undertook the task of guiding the rest of her brood around the naval station. She is of unusual girth, and found when she reached the yard that her ample proportions; were preventing easy locomotion. To add to her distress the ten youngsters, ranging between two and ten years of age, began to wander, and lose themselves in the crowd. She obtained a piece of stout twine, and, running a loop of it around each of her charges, tied the end of it to her wrist. Like a troop of dusky Alpine climbers they threaded their way among the crowds around the yard, creating much amusement, but they were safe from separation. MISS G. S. RICHARDSON, New York City.

PROGRESSIVES IN ARMS AGAINSTUPTOWNEDITOR Candidate for Governor Denounces False Statements in Harlem Paper REFUSED TO PAY SUM ASKED Manager Aron Turned Down Offer of Support for which it Is Alleged $500 Were Asked—Retraction Demanded of Editor. Considerable interest has been excited in local Progressive party circles by reason of the attitude taken by one of the local Negro weekly papers, in regard to the candidacy, of Frederick M. Davenport for Governor on the Progressive party ticket. In its issue of September 24 the paper referred to came out in an editorial opposing the candidacy of Davenport, stating that in the event of his nomination he would be induced by Roosevelt to abandon the Negro. The editorial stated also that on direct authority Davenport was on record as declaring that if he held public office and by a stroke of the pen could do anything for the black man in politics he would not do it, as he did not believe in the Negro having power over white people. Support of Paper Offered for. $500. This article was brought to the attention of the Progressive candidate and his manager, Harold G. Aron. A prompt denial of the sentiments and attitude, attributed to him was forthcoming from Mr. Davenport, and serious charges are made from the office (Continued on Page 2.)

ATTACK VALIDITY OF BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 7.—The colored residents of Baltimore are planning to attack the validity of the segregation law. At a mass meeting at Grace Presbyterian Church Monday night addresses urging that the law be tested were made and funds collected to secure lawyers. A similar meeting was held in Sharp Street Memorial Church Wednesday, September 30, and a generous sum collected and subscribed to and in the fig... The decision to test the law was reached after a white family had moved into 1929 Etting street, which block had only colored tenants. The police were disinformed to make an arrest for violation of the segregation law, the offender in the case being a white man who wanted to run a grocery store to catch the colored trade. The police are most active, however, whenever a colored family moves into a "white" block, as was evidenced when a colored family moved a few days ago into a block of two houses only, the single tenant being a white family. The Hebrew who owned the property was summoned to appear in the police court, where he was fined five dollars and costs and ordered to return the colored tenant a week's rent so that he could move out right away. Two segregation laws have already been declared invalid and it is the belief of many that the present one will not stand a test as to its legality. The authorities do not seem anxious, however, that any test be made. THE WEEKLY NEWS 10 JULY 1939 THE WEEKLY NEWS 10 JULY 1939 ```markdown ``` MISS HAZEL A. MACBETH, Baltimore, Md. MISS HAZEL A.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACE NASHVILLE, TENN. Oct. 7.—This city will witness the gathering of what is probably the most important gathering among colored churchmen ever held in this country. It has been called by a number of leading members of the M. E.

The meeting is to take place on or about October 22. The committee, which sent out invitations for the meeting is headed by the Rev. W. J. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, New York City.

BEAUTY PRIZE WINNER GOES TO CLEVELAND Special to THE NEW YORK AGE CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 7—Miss Hazel A. Macheth of Baltimore, Md., one of the "Chosen Fifteen" in the Beauty Contest conducted by THE N. Y. AGE, has assumed the position of secretary at the Phyllis Wheatley Home for Girls and Young Women. She was graduated from the Norfolk Mission College in 1910. URGE COLORED MEN TO REGISTER IN MD Special to The New York Times BALTIMORE, Mt., Oct. 7. - Sharp criticism of Republican who are elected to office in Maryland and then fail to give recognition to the colored men who aided them in making their goal, was voiced by several speakers who attended a meeting at Republican headquarters last Friday, night to discuss plans for getting the full colored vote registered. Some of the Republican leaders were alarmed at the fact that only 5,000 colored voters registered at the first sitting two weeks ago. This number was considerably augmented by the registration this Tuesday and Wednesday, however. The New York adverted to the fact that Republican Goldshorehough a Republican, had given the race practically political recognition and added that the reason the Progressives polled the majority of the colored vote in Baltimore in the presidential election in 1912 was because Republican politicians in Maryland usually forgot all about the colored voters after election. The Rev. W. M. Alexander and others spoke in a similar vein, but pledged themselves to get upwards of 20,000 colored voters on the registration hooks in this city. GO ON THE STAGE Are you interested?

Antong the other accommodations in this building will be a dining room, a mother's room where babies may be left during the church service in charge of a competent nurse, a ladies' rest room, class rooms, a library of Negro literature which will be secured'both by gift and purchase, a smoking room and a reading room. In the rear building will be rooms for the meeting of the Brotherhood, which will be in charge of all the various men's activities, the official board room and living quarters for the janitor, who is also the church sexton. The third floor in this building is fitted to be rented to various lodges and societies for their regular assemblages. It has been arranged to accommodate bodies numbering up to 200. The parish hall covers an area of $37½x10 feet, and has been put in its present shape at an approximate cost of $63,000. Dedication by Bishop Wilson.

More than a thousand persons took part in the parade from the church to the parish house, where Bishop Wilson presided over the exercises, Wier E. Mandy, trustee, presented the keys of the building to the bishop, who conducted the exercises of dedication. The exercises were participated in by the Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor; the Rev. W. P.

PROGRESSIVES IN ARMS AGAINST UP-TOWN EDITOR of Mr. Aron concerning the editor of the paper referred to. It is alleged that he aforesaid editor, made overtures to support the Progressive party in the primaries for a consideration of $500, which proffer was rejected. Failure to secure this emuliment, it is asserted by the Progressive party people, preceded the writing of the editorial in which the strictures were made. Mr. Davenport wrote the following letter, under date of September 25, to John M. Royall, colored Progressive leader: DAVENPORT CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE. Hotel Manhattan, New York City. September 25, 1914. Mr. John M. Royall, New York City, N. Y. Dear Mr. Royall; I thank you for calling my attention to an editorial, which appeared in the New York News of September 24. My manager informed me that the officer upon proper agreement to support me upon certain considerations, which were of course refused. In view of this fact it seems hardly necessary to say that his statements regarding me and my attitude towards colored people are absolutely false. I never made any such statement in my opinion. I believe the statement like it. My position towards the colored man is too well known to make it necessary to restate it. I am not one of those who will say anything and promise everything for the sake of a vote. I have never made a special bid for Negro vote, because I regard the Negro voter as an American citizen and a patriot. When I address a colored meeting, as I did for you on Wednesday night I talk to my hearers as American citizens, who are proud of their country, and who are geared up to do their duty as citizens in this great land. I am not one who thinks a colored man needs a different kind of argument than other people. I do not believe his vote can be 'won by money or fake promises. I refuse to try to cabale his support by campaign lies, and I wish you would say to the colored voters of your state that I make the same appeal to them as all good citizens, as their friend, and one who is willing to lead their party, to vote for me, in order that I may as the. Progressive candidate for governor carry forward the fight for clean government and honest politics, in which Roosevelt and Hughes have lead the way. Ourours very truly. (Signed) FREDERICK M. DAVENPORT. One report had it that Mr. Aron demanded of the editor a retraction of the editorial, a failure to comply to be followed by a suit for criminal libel in prominent Negro Progressive, how that no suit would be entered as it would only afford notoriety to an irresponsible writer. THEATRE ATTACHES FINED FOR ASSAULT to the NEW York Asse. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 7.—Three attaches of the Ideal Moving Picture Theatre, Columbia avenue, were fined $50 and costs each because they assaulted Miss Madeline Davis and her brother, who refused to be jim crowed in that theatre. Several weeks ago the couple purchased seats for the picture show and the manager, Joe Puzell, the chief usher, William Buckman, and the special officer, Richard Hughes, attempted to segregate them. The assault followed their refusal to submit to discrimination. The fines were imposed last week in Judge Bonnivelle's court. CONICK AND MOSES ON STATE COMMITTEE special to THE NEW York Ace.

J., Oct. 7—A notable plea for justice for the American Negro was made by Congressman William J. Browning of the first district of New Jersey, at a recent gathering of colored, Sunday school workers in Washington, D. C. He said in part: "My mother was a good woman, a woman of more than usual intelligence. She was a member of the Society of Friends," a Quakeress, as we say, and like most of that Society she was strongly opposed to the institution of chattel slavery. There are a few old men in Camden today who can recall her quiet, but brave stand for the colored people, a fellow citizen of the early part of the civil war, when to demand human treatment for the race meant social ostracism. There were chermers in those days, clergymen (God save the mark!) who misquoted Holy Writ that who the colored people felt obliged to be legally soon, I have never known exactly what race prejudice is. I know that there is no one here or elsewhere who can truthfully charge me with race prejudice. It is only natural that I should look upon my colored brother and his rights and privileges that I have. Considering my ancestry, what else could even my critics expect? The colored man is just as much entitled to a fair deal as I am, and, moreover, when his rights are infringed my rights are in disarray and God is just as all one, children of one blood, come into the world in the same manner, having the same aspirations, the same failings, and at the end reaping our common sacrifice, the end help of earth. the good Lord help us to deal just with the wicked discrimination—because God made some of us darker, or lighter, or because he didn't make all look alike! "Looking back into history, I come to the conclusion that this matter of race prejudice is only a matter of dates. In other words, every rose, like every dog has its day. We have realised that we were once the dominant race. There are many indications that the ancient Egyptians, with their wonderful art, and their engineering achievements, were a very dark-skinned people, in fact were colored people. In the light of this fact from history how absurd is race prejudice? How silly it all is, for the race of God to whom a thousand years is as one of our days! Poor, pauny man sets up these race boundaries and then calls upon God to bless him! No wonder the Psalmist exclaimed: "What is man that thou art mindful of him!" "I believe it is capable of demonstration, my friends, that no other race in my society made progress barbaric civilization the colored man in America has made. This wonderful progress to me proves the mental capacity of the colored man, a capacity that can be dimly traced back to the time when he was in the ascendant, when his was the dominant race. I know I shall be criticized for this statement, but any criticism of this race bears me out when I say, that nearly all the arts and sciences were invented or discovered by darker races than the Anglo-Saxon. The colored man was cultivating the arts and sciences when the Anglo-Saxon was running, a half-nacked savage, through the forests of Germany. The Anglo-Saxon is merely the name he gave to him. True, he has done many wonderful things, but he has only developed principles laid down before him. "Let us see what the colored race in America has accomplished in the last fifty years: In 1863 the colored people in this country numbered 790,000. Now they number 10,000,000 in own homes. Then they number 30,000 acres of land valued, on an average, at about $3 an acre. To-day they own 20,000,000 acres of an average value of $24 an acre. Then 9,000 owned their homes. To-day 550,000 own their homes. Then two thousand were engaged in business. Today forty thousand are engaged in business. To-day the thousand owned farms. To-day two hundred and twenty-five thousand own farms. Then the per capita wealth of the colored race in this country was $25. Today the per capita wealth is $175. I hope the pastor here will remember this fact about your people. I am sure any of you tell him you cannot afford to contribute to the church work. "I want to call your attention particularly to the fact that these figures, from the census reports, deal entirely with property issues and not with property issues that are with fancy accomplishments. We say sometimes that 'Money is the root of all evil.' It is the root of other things, too. It is the root of good citizenship. Your Frederick of Maryland was the said that 'Money is the property' is the condition by which we rise to the dignity of genuine manhood; for without property there can be no leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, without thought there can be no thought, without thought there can be no thought, without thought there you, material development is not all, but it should come first. "Your race has much to be proud of and you have been years ago as being only slightly above the plasterer's mules, to-day you have taken your place as citizens. In this republic, and even in the South you are steadily winning recognition as men and brethren. The future is bright for you. I really believe: Cultivate race pride and determine that by the end of the century of the stantial things of this life. Make the things that will bring the whole world to your door. "True, there may be some difficulty in establishing yourselves in the mechanical and commercial lines, but the people will come your way. They are coming your way, way far back. South men, the running bank, which white men are depositors, colored men" are contracting for and building white men's houses, they are running grocery stores; and other stores, and giving credit to white men. They are running two white men in the South, white men of the old, bitter, type, who watched a colored man pass down the street. One of these men remarked as he looked after the colored man, She said. She told me out with three-story brick house, all paid for. I have gotten into the habit of calling him "Mister."" There's your cue, men and brethren, make them call you 'Mister.' Mme Gonzales SUCCESS IN LOVE 236 Bergen St., Brooklyn CREOLE HAIR A SPECIALTY Transformation $3 up.

THE NEGRO FARMER A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers. It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON STATES: The Tuskegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publication, but some of the active officers' of the institution are interested in its success and believe that it will not only be highly great good but will be a paying investment.

ATHLETICS AND THE CHURCH Strange as it may seem, oftimes the teachings of Christianity are put more into practice in the athletic world than in religious circles. Athletics are never directly associated with religion, while the church is. And yet the Golden Rule is at times more religiously observed in athletics than in the church. For instance, a few white churches open their doors to all and invite those of every race to come within and seek salvation. But except in the South there is no discrimination made against athletes of any particular race participating in an athletic meet. In New York last Saturday the track and field championships of the Metropolitan Association of the A. A. U. were held at Celtic Park. Out of the large number of clubs contesting for honors the Smart-Set A: C. of Brooklyn, scored the third largest number of points. The feature event of the afternoon was the 120-yard high hurdle race, which was won by H. M. MARTIN of the Smart Set A: C. who defeated BOR ELLER of the Irish Americans. ELLER enjoys quite a local reputation as a hurdler. There is much practical Christianity in giving the colored man an opportunity to match his brain and brawn against that of the white man. To preach Christianity and to fail to practice it as some of our white brethren do in white churches becoming farcical. Such incongruities do Christianity no good. White churches ought to take pattern after the Metropolitan Association of the A. A. U. and hold the Golden Rule less theoretical and more practical. IMMORALITY CHARGED AGAINST NEGRO BAPTISTS In a late issue of the Philadelphia Tribune, of which Mr. CHRIST J. PERRY is editor, direct, direct, severe and serious charges are made against some of the Baptist ministers, who recently attended the National Baptist Convention held in Philadelphia. Editor PERRY does not mince words. If one-half of what the Philadelphia Tribune alleges against the conduct of some of these Baptist ministers is true, it represents a very serious condition—one that the Baptist fraternity cannot fail to give attention. The officers of the National Baptist Convention cannot afford to ignore these charges. They should be taken up, investigated and something given out to the public concerning them. The time has long passed when it pays to cover up or attempt to cover up the fifth of the minister. Let us have the light. We call upon President E. C. MORRIS and other officers of the National Baptist Convention to make an investigation and then speak out. The public demands information. The ministers who are guilty, if there are such, should be condemned. Those who are innocent should be exonerated. DR. GEORGE E. CANNON'S FINE EXAMPLE. In our issue of THE AGE of last week we published a copy of a letter written by Dr. GEO. E. CANNON of New Jersey to the officials of the Southern Railway concerning the treatment of colored passengers. From every point of view, Dr. CANNON's communication is a model. It gives The Democrats are more thoroughly organized and are now working together more harmoniously than ever before in history. They are, therefore, in first class fighting firm. Quite to the contrary with the Republicans who are deplorably divided by internal strife. The Progressives occupy one end of the stage and the Republicans the other and their chief diversion seems to be in calling one another names and yelling with a show of pathos—"Down with the bosses!" We believe in the Republican party and we would very much like to see it successful in the coming State and National elections. However, should be apparent to even those who do not profess to be politicians that unless the Republicans get together they will be overwhelmingly defeated in November. For the past two years the Negro has entirely ignored in this State. The fusion administration, under Mayor MITCHEL has forgotten all about us, although 95 per cent of the colored voters supported the fusion ticket. Perhaps Mayor MITCHEL is waiting to be reminded of his apathetic attitude toward us. The colored voters of the State of New York have not been given proper recognition since the administration of the late Gov. HIGGINS When Justice HUGHES was in the executive chair he made speeches in which he said he thought well of us. But he went no further. The Democratic Party is not obligated to us to any great extent, and we do not look for any unusual favors, but we have a right to demand and expect a square deal from the Republican Party. The old method of putting a Negro in control of an organization by giving him a few dollars will no longer bring votes. The substantial colored voters (and there are many of them, are above the dollar. They believe in principle and just recognition. The AGE has always been extremely loyal in its support of the Republican Party. It has been regarded for years as the strongest and most consistent advocate of Republican principles of any Negro paper published. We now desire to learn the attitude of the Republican candidate for Governor—Mr. WHIT AN—and his associates toward the colored voters. True, we are deeply concerned in good government and believe in working in the interest of good government. But we are also concerned in other things that directly affect the Negro. We are now of an age when we feel fully qualified to make our own selections. Mr. WHITMAN has made one appointment since he has been District Attorney—and only one. The time has come when we, no longer with hat in hand, hang around the back door and ask for a dollar to work at the polls or to be financially persuaded to vote. Things have changed, and the leaders might just as well understand now that we intend to be consulted and given proper recognition. They appear to be laboring under the hallucination that the colored voter is to be played and joked with just as he was years ago. The desertion of thousands of dissatisfied colored voters who supported Roosevelt at the last Presidential election does not seem to have had a telling effect. We are respectfully asking this question: "WHERE DO THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES STAND WITH RESPECT TO COLORED VOTERS?" TALKING TOO MUCH AT WASHINGTON. The administration at Washington has been greatly embarrassed lately by diplomats from foreign shores talking too much. A. RUSTEM BEY, the Turkish Ambassador, was the first to indulge in what was regarded by President WILSON as a most undiplomatic verbal outbreak, and he was followed in turn by representatives of Great Britain and Germany. One of the onerous duties of the State Department within the past month has been the suppression of talkative diplomats. The news dispatches of October 3 conveyed the information that A. RUSTEM BEY had left Washington indefinitely, leaving behind him a-valedictory statement much the same style as his previous utterances which were regarded so objectionable by the President. It will be recalled that two weeks ago the Russian Ambassador helped to make conditions in diplomatic circles more chaotic by making a statement in public comparing lynchings in the United States to massacres in Turkey: A. RUSTEM BEY refused to agree with President WILSON that he had been guilty of a grievous error in denouncing the lynching of Negroes in the United States. To aggravate matters he took the stand that he preferred to leave Washington rather than offer an apology. He declared upon his departure that he had not changed his views expressed in his former statement. Now, that President Wilson has entered into the task of seeing that men in high political positions do not talk too much at Washington we feel encouraged to believe that his next move will be to muzzle Senators and Representatives who make sensational speeches in the halls of Congress against the Negro, in which appeals are made to baser passion and ignorance. Such outbursts of demagogism produce more harmful results in the long run than the statements of A. RUSTEM BEY. It is a sad reflection on this Nation's spirit of fair play that representatives of the people, who don the mantle of statesmanship and who pose as men of intellect and mental poise are permitted, without one word of protest from our Chief Executive, to run amuck, scandalize, misrepresent and humiliate ten million loyal citizens without good cause. In every instance the defamer makes a humiliating spectable of himself, and puts his country in a ridiculous light merely to go into public print so that it will be shown to his prejudiced constituents that he is doing a "great work" at Washington and should be returned at the expiration of his term. Just as lynchings in the United States, which are permitted to occur with frequency, without governmental inquiry, are being carefully recorded by other countries, so do the people of other lands give cognizance to the abuse heaped upon millions of deep-dyed-in-the-wool Americans by cheap, noisy political demagogues who would never be heard of if they did not utter something sensational on the Negro question. MUZZLE—THE DEMAGOGUE AT WASHINGTON! This should be President Wilson's next duty. credit to the Southern road where credit is due. It condemns where condemnation should be meted out. What he says is in a calm, dignified, high-toed manner. letter or some form of communication. We hope that many of our people throughout the country will follow the fine example set We hope that our people throughout the country will follow Dr. Cannoy's example. When they are treated well on the railroad, it is worth while to let the officials know it and this will encourage them to mete out still better treatment. When they are treated unjustly, it is worth while to let the officials know it, either through a visit to the officials of the railroad, or through letter or some form of communication. We hope that many of our people throughout the country will follow the fine example set by Dr. CANNON. LYNCHING AND "CIVILIZATION" (Editorial: Boston, Traveler) Those of us who think this country is the seat of the world's conscience, the last word in civilization, the citadel of the rights and liberties of mankind, the pillar of the nation, the pillar of the nation, slightly. If we can doubt ourselves as others see us. . . . & Just now, when we are setting ourselves up as final architects in the construction of a righteous indignation" over alleged barbarities and atrocities in the then- The most valuable exhibition ever conducted in New York by Norroos was held at Manhattan Casino from Monday, September 28, to Friday, October 2, inclusive, under the auspices of the National Exposition and Advertising Company. Nothing has ever been given before in or about New York like it, and those who were fortunate enough to attend are unanimous in the verdict that the affair was a big artistic success. Until the two last days of the exposition the attendance was comparatively small, and it was not until the colored citizens learned that the effort being made was not a mere repetition of previous expositions that they hied themselves to Manhattan Casino in large numbers to enjoy the interesting exhibits and entertaining programs. The promoters of the venture were greatly encouraged by the unusual interest shown and the large attendance on the closing days of the exposition, and have decided to make the exposition festival an annual event. Now that the colored citizens are fully convinced that the entertainment furnished by ALEX. ROGERS, JESSE A. SHIPP and their associates is new and novel, and that these practical showmen "deliver the goods" and produce all that they advertise, there is every reason to believe that next year the exposition and festival will be a financial as well as an artistic success. We extend congratulations to Messrs. ROGERS, SHIPP and WHIPPER. tre of war, the Independent comes along with these disquieting recollections; That this is a barbarous country, in spots, is undeniable when we hear that in 1913 as many, if not more, colored men and women were killed by mobs, lynched without trial. The crimes charged against them were various, some serious, others traitorous. The crimes of doubtless innocent. The figures prove a shocking degree of barbarism to exist with us; and the crimes of a pretty steady decrease in the number. In 1892 there were 155 lynched, and 154 the next year. At this rate of decrease, we may be quite sure that there have been only 22 lynchings in the first six months of the present year. Here is a record of atrocities for which there can be found in any of the "barbarous" nations now at war, and compared with which the atrocities charged against the German soldiers would appear for the German soldiers who disrespect incident to the heat of war. Before we throw any more stones at the Germans, let us be sure we are not too hard on them. Sherman said it was, it is natural to expect a few human devils in an army of three or four millions of men engaged in the conflict; but the German devils expect to find themselves working in times of peace at the very feet of Liberty Enlightening the World? Meantime, we should like to direct the attention of the southern gentlemen who sit in the saddle at Washington to this paragraph from an address to the people of the United States issued by our colored nation a recent convention in New York City: Let the American people, and especially the President, in view of the probable, grant of freedom to Ireland and suffrage to women, freedom to the Poles and Finns and resistance to the Jews and disabilities for the Jews, induced by the needs of warring nations, remember that TWELVE MILLION COUNTRY ARE, WORSE PROSCRIBED THAN THOSE OF EUROPE. We appeal to President to support the government from Jim-Crow cars, disfranchisement, lynching and segregation, especially under the federal government, at the federal capital, now, more than await some awful war here. Whatever Mr. Wilson may think of Jim-Crow cars, disfranchisement and segregation at the federal capital, he must admit that the colored race to protection against the men, to the legal presumption of innocence, which is recorded every other class of citizens, and to legal trial for the crimes of the white man. The crime of lynching constitutes a bishop upon Uncle Sam's escapade which must be wiped out before Uncle Sam is entitled to sit in judgment upon the people of the earth. He cannot preach morality, and civilization for others and himself remain uncivilized, unless he can appear in the eyes of the world as the most consummate hypocrite in all history. Civilization, like charity, begins at home. WASHINGTON. D. C. Washington, D.

COLORED M.E.5 TO HOLD CONCLAVE IN TENNESSEE (Continued from page 1.) privilege of manning at least one pastor and one layman in his district to attend the meeting. Those who at first opposed the contemplated convention are for the most part ministers who have been advocating that the colored membership of the church be given its own bishops and allowed to govern itself. Dr. Earnest Lyon is the author of a pamphlet advocating autonomy. His views were, published a few months after bishop L. B. Scott, who is in charge of the Liberian conferences, wrote an article to one of the church publications virtually declaring that the colored membership could not hope for an equal footing in all departments of the denomination. Dr. Lyon declared that present conditions in his denomination did not foreshadow the election of a colored bishop, even for the distinctively colored conferences. He says the colored membership is segregated in nearly every department of the church, and that "increasing race, prejudice and the past history of the black man in this country will render his elevation to the bishopric, if not impossible, at least too remote to command at present the serious consideration of thoughtful and sensible people." His plan for autonomy provides that the colored membership have separate societies from the whites, but that the bishops meet together with bishops elected by colored members. The present agents of connectional boards, he points out, would then become heads of their respective boards. Want Negroes Eliminated from M. E. Church. A number of ministers of the Washington Conference, while not opposing the purpose of the meeting, adopted a resolution condemning the proposed plan of representation in the convention. Many keenly interested in the matter would be excluded, said the resolution of protest, by the plan of selection. The call was modified so that any pastor in the country could attend. A plan is suggested for one of the conferences to issue a call and for each conference to be represented by five capable persons, who would organize along proper lines. It may be added that there is an element in the M. E. Church, as well as in the M. E. Church South, who would like to see the Negroes eliminated from the former body, believing that thereby a way will be paved for the union of the two denominations, which split in 1844 over the slavery question. FOOD FOR LIBERIA REQUESTED OF U. S. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK WASHINGTON, Oct. 7—A strong effort is being made to have the United States government, send a warship supplied with food supplies to Liberia, which is suffering from a lack of necessities due to the cessation of export and import trade since the breaking out of the conflict in Europe. a delegation, in which was the Rev J. M. Waldron, the Rev. W. M. Alexander, corresponding secretary of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention; the Rev M. St. Clair; Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consular general to this country, and Dr. L. G. Jordan, who has charge of the foreign mission work of the National Baptist Convention, recently called upon officials of the State Department and told of the plight of Liberia. The delegation also had a conference with Secretary Daniels of the Navy, and the latter promised to do whatever he could to relieve the distressing situation It was pointed out by the visitors that the war had crippled Liberian trade and that the country was greatly in need of the necessities of life, which had hitherto come from the warring European nations. The officials were also told that the Lott Carey Baptists, raised nearly one thousand dollars for Liberia at its recent annual session at Raleigh, N. G., and that this and other money raised by the National Baptist Convention; the A. M. E. Church, the M. E. Church, and other agencies, were lying in banks in this country because the war had stopped the means of transferring the same. The delegation pointed out that the government had recently voted $1,000,000 to aid Americans stranded in Europe and that a way ought to be found to use some of this in aiding Americans in Liberia. The plea was also made that relief at this time would probably mean the beginning of extensive trade relations between this country and the little West African republic. Representatives of the various ministerial bodies in this city, Baltimore and other communities are working to find ways and means to relieve the distressed people. It is hoped that the United States will send an army transport laden with money and provisions. NEW COURT AT UTICA Special to The Sun Yoran Age Special to The New York Age Ursula, N.

Leubie Hill's Darktown Follies and made the company an unwilling captive, according to reports from the Middle West. The Progressive Burlesque Wheel, with which the Darktown Follies were affiliated, is said to have hit a snag while going at a high rate of speed, with fatal results. The snag, it is charged, was put into the Progressive Wheel's path by its most bitter foe—the Columbia Burlesque Wheel. Since the opening of the new season Uncle Sam's currency has not dropped freely and with frequency into the coffers of the Progressive Burlesque Wheel, the only company to attract good-sized crowds being the Darktown Follies. But one attraction could not keep up a burlesque circuit, and the promoters, decided last week to suspend operations. So the many-weeks of consecutive booking that the Darktown Follies had has been cancelled and the company is said to be "wild-casting" it, which, in the theatrical parlance, means getting uncertain booking the best way possible. For a colored attraction of merit J. Leubrie Hill's Darktown Follies Company is easily the hard luck prize winner. Since the fall of 1913, the show has met with reverse after reverse, engagements at the Lafayette Theatre and a few other houses being the only bright spots of a most eventful and seamy career. The contemplated future movements of the show have not been made public. Foreign Acts Find Great Change. The colored performer is slowly but surely making progress as an artist on the American stage. If you do not believe in the correctness of this assertion engage in conversation one of the colored acts just returned to America after an absence of ten or more years from abroad and ask that colored theatricals of to-day be compared with those of yesteryear. Comparisons, it is said, are odious, but we usually form an estimate of people and things by the process of comparison. Colored foreign acts have returned to the home of their nativity only to find that things have changed greatly on the stage since last in America, and that the public is more exacting and callous. It was not so very long ago that a colored performer could evoke applause by strutting across the stage in cakewalk fashion, but nowadays a strut or several struts does not produce a stir in the audience. But few foreign colored acts have brought with them to this country what is characterized as "the punch." Those that have uncorked their wares usually display plenty of attractive and well-kept wardrobe, but the material—talk and songs—do not seem to be there. In the majority of instances these turns show up best in their dancing. There is a vast difference between the going public and that of England, France, Germany, Belgium and Russia. In this country the people want acts that are snappy, full of ginger and which have timeful songs, not too long. The songs brought to the United States by colored thespiens are not very tuneful nor are they short. Colored performers of ability who find conditions greatly changed upon their return should not be discouraged. If they are real artists they will thoroughly study local conditions and then construct their acts to conform with conditions. The Colored Performer in History. In the minds of many, the most interesting feature of the _entertainment furnished at the Autumn Exposition Festival, conducted last week at Manhattan Casino, was presented Thursday evening, which was known as "Composers' and Reminiscent Night." All the contemporary colored composers of note who found it possible to be present were in evidence, and did what they could to make the night an artistic success. The occasion could be most fittingly referred to also as "Reminiscent Night," for those who were fortunate to be in attendance were carried back to the good, old days of Williams & Walker, Cole & Johnson and Ernest Hogan. Songs made famous by these famous comedians were played and the song-book titles flashed on the screen. "Under the Bamboo Tree," "Congo Love Song," "Red, Red Shawl," sung by Cole & Johnson; "Nobody," "Let It Alone," "Bon Bon Buddy," "When the Pale Moon Shines," sung by Williams & Walker; "Is Everybody Happy?" "All Coons Look Alike to Me" and "Oh, Say, Wouldn't That Be a Dream?" sung by Ernest Hogan, were all heartily applauded. It has not been so very Jong ago since Ernest Hogan, Williams & Walker and Cole & Johnson were entertaining the public with their high-class offerings, although their activities in the theatrical world are already being looked upon as having taken place in the far, distant past. And yet few of its interested in colored theatricals have made any serious effort to preserve the works of FUN! FROLIC!! FESTIVITY!!! THE SMASHING TRIUMPH OF 1914 James Reese Europe, Pres. Wm. H.

Unfortunately, the race has yet failed to awaken to the realization of its history—the history it has made and is making in this country. What is done by us to-day is easily forgotten tomorrow. This should not be. The most commendable effort of Alex. Rogers, Jesse A. Shipp, and their associates to preserve the songs that helped to make our colored comedians of former days famous should inspire us to put a higher and a truer value on our history and set us to preserving the meritorious works of Negroes not only in the theatrical world, but in every avenue of endeavor.

THE-Autufin Exposition and Amusement Festival came to a close last Friday night with the kids in their glory in the Mother Goose pageant. It was the best attended evening of the week. Several hundred children were in the audience to see about 250 kids disport themselves on the stage in a revival of a number of the old familiar Mother Goose legends. They were all present—Little Jack Horner, Little Miss Muffet, Mistress Mary, quite contrary, Red Riding Hood, Little Boo Peep, the Old-Woman in a Shoe, and all the rest—and they sang and danced with all the abandon and grace and vigor of effervescing childhood. Mrs. Dora Cole Norman had charge of the training of the children, and several of the elders took part in the play. Miss Carrietta Owens was the queen; Mrs. John Stevenson was Mother Hubbard; Mme. Tapley was Mother_Goose; Miss_Wood was Dame Fidget; Mr. Berry was to have enacted the song; Mrs. John Stevenson stepped on the tail of his robe and disrupted that armenot to such an extent his appearance on the stage was prevented, and Mr. Wilson was the Pied Piper. Mrs. Norman appeared as the fairy. The costumes were designed and made by Mrs. Sadie Tandy, assisted by Miss Leila Norman and Mrs. Alex. Rogers. Will H. Vodery presided at the piano and played the accompaniments to the Mother Goose melodies. At the conclusion of the performance every child in the audience who believed in fairies was called to the stage and Mother Goose and her friends distributed more than 500 presents. Thursday evening's program was the most pretentious of the week. It was "Reminiscent and Composers' Night," and the program was made up of selections from the vocal and orchestral productions of nearly all the Negro composers of the past and present. A number of the most prominent Negro musicians were present and conducted the orchestra in the rendition of certain of their compositions: The program was opened by the appearance of the Negro Choral Society, Incorporated. H. Lawrence Freeman, founder and director, in two numbers. J. Tim Brimn, William B. Tyers, J.

The rest of the program consisted of acts by Le Great Mondaaye, the physical marvel, whose performance created a sensation; the exposition of modern society dances by Henry Creamer and Miss Hattie Creamer, which was classed by all as a finished and expert performance; Richard B. Harrison, the dramatic reader, of Chicago, in readings from Dunbar, who was graciously received and whose work was enjoyed; and the singing of old songs by Henry Troy. Troy was given a tremendous welcome, and compelled to return time and again' to the front of the stage and how his thanks. The audience was not satisfied, until he had sung Dearest Ternem, and the program was the presentation of the awards, in the Beauty Contest conducted by TIE Age, as told of in another story in this paper. Miss Beck of Jersey City, who was not present on Thursday night, was called to the stage and presented her prize on Friday night. There is no question as to the success of the exposition from an artistic and advertising standpoint. It was a financial failure, however, due to the very light attendance on the first three nights. Any number of reasons have been given for the failure of the people to attend, any of which may be the right one. The promoters of the affair, Alex Rogers, Jesse Shipp, Lee Whippen and Romco L. Dougherty, assisted by Edward Waldron, proprietor of the Manhattan Casino, Fred R. Moore, Lester Walton and others, made good in every advertised promise, and deserved the fullest financial success. Not an attraction or feature advertised but was presented. One of the most attractive and valuable exhibits was that sent by Mrs. Josephine M. Wright of Topeka, Kan; The following articles constituted the exhibition: Trav. hand enamel china painting, and picture, water color; painting, by Miss Gertrude M. Owens; placec, china painting, by Miss Lueille M. Troune; dollie, point face and drawn The regular season is now in full swing at the Lafayette>Theatre, and together with the patrons who loyally supported the house during the summer months many new faces are being seen. Last week, which marked the opening of the regular season, was a big one from every standpoint, and the big bill, greatly pleased the patrons, while the big audiences greatly pleased the management. Country store-night on Tuesday and Saturday evenings continues to go big in Harlem, and fifteen acts are offered every Wednesday evening. Preparations are already being made for the cold weather and a new heating system is being installed which will make, the theatre far more comfortable than last winter. Tim and Hester Moore are still at the Lafayette and are a riot. The Moores are the most popular act that ever struck Harlem and they have a large following. Tim Moore is regarded by many as the most promising colored comedian the race can boast of, and this estimate of him is not far from correct. He is not only naturally clever, but he is a student and decidedly versatile. He and his wife put over their jokes like clock-work. The act has been held over for the second half of this week and will present a new sketch. The Carr Brothers & Poole Sisters made a favorable impression with their offering. The Carr Brothers are back from Europe after an absence of eighteen years. The four people look well in their clothes and show up well in the dancing department. With a little more preparation and more ginger the act will get over nicely in America. Burt Grant has not lost any of his popularity, and was always given a hand upon his first appearance. His dancing is the feature of his act, and he showed that there was a reason for the world's championship, buck-dancing title being awarded him years ago. The Cosmopolitan Four have a great singing act—one of the best ever heard at the Lafayette. It is as natural for these four Italian artists to sing as it is to eat spaghetti. Furthermore, the quartet was highly appreciated by the patrons of the house, who bear the reputation of knowing good singing when they hear it. Even the selections in Italian went big. The Langslows opened the bill in whirlwind fashion. The male member of the act is a sharpshooter of ability. Gertrude Sutherland & Co. presented a travesty on "Quo Vadis," which amused. Le Great Mondayaye, who lays claim to be the strongest man of the race, and one of the strongest in the world, the McCarver Trio and other well known acts will be on the bill the second half of the week. In order to accommodate its many patrons the Lafayette Theatre will play four shows on Sunday. Monday; October 12, will be Columbus Day, and a large holiday turnout is anticipated. work, by.

Rosamond Johnson, Miss Natalie Curtis and the Rev. Chas. W. Douglas, met and appointed the following teachers for the school year: TO PRODUCE PICTURE. What is said to be the greatest industrial Negro picture ever made will be produced by gregg Lafayette Theatre next week, commencing Monday, October 12. It is in three reels, and the result of the expenditure of energy and money by its producer, Hunter C. Haynes. The picture will show the Odd Fellows dress parade at the recent B. M. C. held at Boston, which was said to have been the most spectacular parade ever seen in the East in which colored men were the sole participants. Former U. S. Assistant Attorney General W. H. Lewis, Sam Langford and Joe Wolcott among the celebrities shown in the parade. The picture will be of no little local interest, as twenty-one colored enterprises in New York, field day at Lenox Oval and the baseball game between the Lincoln Giants and a Chinese team will be flashed. BYRONS, MAKE HIT The Musical Byrons, residents of Chicago, came East several days ago on a short visit. They were booked at Loew's American Theatre, where they made a decided hit and their names put in the lights. Now the Loew people have arranged many weeks of consecutive booking for the act. The Byrons, before going to Chicago, were residents of St. Louis, where they were born. There are five brothers in the act, which is rated as one of the best of its kind in the business. THE FIRST EDITION OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR "BILLY" BUTLER "Billy" Butler, the popular trap-drummer at the Lafayette Theatre, is making a big hit this week in his "Oh You Drummer" specialty, which he plays between acts in the orchestra and is rated as the race's leader in trap-drummer. "Billy" is a native of Pittsburgh, where he received his musical education under Edward H. Montgomery, now with the Dameson Orchestra. New York, and formerly a member of the Billy Orchestra (Oberstroemia and Sousa's Band). Butler was discovered by S. H. Dudley while trap-drummer at Gibson's Auditorium. Philadelphia, "Billy" served as trap-drummer with Dudley's Smart Set Company and the Darkwood Company, F. F. Member of the Musician's Union, No. 471, and the New Amsterdam Musical Association. Music School Settlement Notes The opening of the Music School Settlement, 4-6 West 131st street, will occur Thursday night, October 8, at 8:30 o'clock. An excellent -program will be given by such distinguished artists as Dr. David Mannes H. T. Lawrence, Larry Johnson, R. Richardson Johnson, Felix F. Welr, Leonard Jeter, and the others. Herbert Richardson and Harris. Attendance at the opening of the school exceeded expectations. The work had been so well planned that lessons will be on the opening day. The regular hours for classes will be from 9 a. m. to 9:30 p. m., so that class of students who are unable to have their lessons during the day can be accommodated. On Tuesday, evening, October 6, J. R. Anderson organized the branch Music School Settlement at the Lincoln House, 202 West 63d st. On Friday, September 25, the music committee composed of Dr. Mannes, Mrs. Clara Mannes, Mrs. M. H. M.

Rosamond Johnson, instructor of piano; William Carle and Jacob Peace, instructor of cello; H. Lawrence Freeman and J. Rosamond Johnson, instructors of voice; H. Lawrence-Freeman will have charge of the school classes in choral singing, sight singing, harmony, theory, counterpoint and composition; R. G. Doggett, secretary and instructor of music history; Antonio M. Solo, instructor of Spanish. The Music School Settlement announces the engagement of Mrs. Dora Cole-Norman, who will have entire charge of the school of dance, as well as a faculty of dance, unfamiliar of the school. Mrs. Norman is at present a pupil of Pavlova's teacher. Since the meeting of the music committee, Miss Florence Herbert and Miss Richardson, a pupil of the Damrosch Institute of Music Art, have been added to the faculty, she will be announced later. The faculty will be second to none in America. Clof Club Notes Wm. F. Patrick, "Poor Pat," and his trio, Pete Zabriskie, Joe Banks and John Marshall, have closed a successful season of three months and two days at Lake Champlain.

The ground was broken by the Rev. M. Forbes, Mary Scott, oldest living member, Dr. Forbes and others. First Emmanuel Church The First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street, the Rev. R. M. Boldan, pastor, said, the Holy Spirit who abides in believing and willing children of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, may give us the understanding of the word of God and the time serving career of man. The chosen of the Lord know that it is not their business and they could not make it their desire to change the Holy plan of God, they do not bring fear and beg their Father for anything when they are conscious that his marvelous love everywhere hath been and is working for them. The short human existence, an inharmonious state, is a prayer period, for ourselves, and all others to will to be spirit eternal. The spirit he is, bid in Jesus Christ the선 प्राथमिक. Therefore, no human conceived and birthed leader can of himself or by his prayers have his selfish, greedy, cruel minded God to take the place of the only real, loving God. God is this world. The second psalm might be classed as, a beautiful epic poem written by some distinguished ruler from an able to point out all the historical characters and thus make the psalm a very interesting one for literary and historical study. But we are not able to make use of the prophetic element in the psalm. Some may say that this element in the psalm closed when Jesus Christ became the object of the Jew and Gentile hostility. Those who have the prophetic object has an unfolding form for each age in this world, and that all times and especially just now we are able through prophecy to locate ourselves in the plan of God. The prophet poet is amazed and astonished at the disturbance among the nations; to him this insurrection is useless, wasteful, hopeless, and in vain. Many such efforts against the Lord and his Anointed must come to nought. Note his question, "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?" We know not the true God. Their minds are self-centered, hence they imagine injuries to their self-centered greatness, and wish vanity upon vanity, and of spirit they press unrightly cause. The heathen kings, presidents, emperors, ceyars and rulers in state and man's church hath taken counsel together against the Lord and His anointed. They can believe in the Lord and His anointed. They can believe in the Lord. That God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoseover believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." They will not trust Him who invites them, take a yoke upon them, take Him to his knees and rest for their souls, for his yoke is easy and his burden is light." They challenge and attempt to give battle to Him whose right it is to rein. They ignore his declaration, I am the way. I am the truth, I am the life, no man comes unto me. ... Certainly these rebellious nations and the world against the Kingdom of Christ our own submit to the righteous' Judge and Rulef over all, The Immamuel, His angels and His chosen are unhering into contempt of God, a place of pure increasing usefulness and joy, wherein we will dwell in eternal bodies, with God will forloring God and enjoying him forever.
