VOL. XXVIII No. 5. FIVE DAYS MORE OF THE CAMPAIGN Voters of the State Will Make Known Their Choice Next Tuesday REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES Complete Roster of Candidates Whose Names will appear under the Emblem of the Eagle on the Official Ballot. DR. SPINGARN'S QUESTIONS Advancement Association Submitted List of Questions to all Candidates Asking their Position as regards the Negro-Republicans Reply Satisfactorily. This week winds up the last full week's campaign before the elections of 1914. Tuesday, November 3, the voters of New York will express their opinions and preferences at the polls. Charles S. Whitman, the Republican candidate for governor, has been greeted daily and many times a day by tremendous crowds in all sections of the State. James W. Wadsworth, Jr., candidate for the United States Senate, has likewise received cordial greetings and hearings wherever he has spoken. N. A. A. C. P. Asks Pertinent Question. THE ACE is giving herewith the complete list of candidates on the Republican ticket for State offices, for the united Senate and Congress, and for the State Senate and Legislature from New York, Bronx and Kings Counties. These candidates are deserving of the support of the Negro voters and many of them have expressed in unqualified terms their intention to give the Negro a square deal. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors, sent out a letter to all candidates, submitting a list of questions, among which were the following: Will you, if elected, vote against any measure abovating the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Will you, if elected, vote against— Suggestion in the federal service? Residential segregation in the District of Columbia? Serreation in Jim Crow cars in the District of Columbia? Do you under any circumstances justify lynching? Do you favor the enforcement of Clause 2 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution? Republicans Give Satisfactory Answers 'Amon ghohe replying to the above questions, it was noticeable that the Democrats, as a rule, either failed to reply or else evaded the issue. 'Among the Republicans giving satisfactory replies to the question were F. C. Hicks of the first district, John Kissell of the fourth, Alleged T. Hobley of the fifth, Charles T. Willecox of the seventh, Thomas E. Clark of the eighth, Reuben T. Haskell of the tenth, Qscar W. Elrhorn of the fifteenth, Harry R. Stowell of the sixteenth, Linden Bates of the seventeenth, G. B. Francis of the eighteenth, Isaac Siegel of the twentieth, Martin C. Ansorge of the twenty-first, F. L. Kuerzi of the twenty-second and Robert L. Niles of the twenty-third. 'Among the Democrats who replied, Lerry W. Ross of the sixth district favors Federal segregation. Most of the Democrats, however, failed to give any heed to the questions. Wim B. Carswell candidate for the State Seante in the sixth district, opposing Charles F. Murphy, is the man who introduced in the legislature a bill 60 prohibits marriages between white and colored persons. 'Carswell is an enemy to the Negro race and every Negro in the sixth district should remand him by voting for Charles F. Murphy. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

YOUNG NEGRO HERO'S WIDOW PENSION FROM FUND Special to the New York Age ANHURY PARK, X. J., Oct. 28—The Carnegie Hero Fund has awarded $400 and a pension of $40 for life, to Mrs. Henry West, whose husband was killed at the Summerfield avenue railroad crossing, September 27, 1913, while saving the lives of two white children.

"West who had lost an arm, and all three fingers of the other hand in an accident at the round house in Point Pleasant twelve years ago, seized the bride of the pony and stopped the animal just in time to save the children. But as the train thundered by the pony swung his head and pushed the man in the way of the train. West's skull being fractured by the eneive. He was only 38 years old when killed. WANT NEGRO BISHOPS & SEPARATE CONFERENCES WANT NEGRO BISHOPS & SEPARATE CONFERENCES The Council of Colored Members of M. E. Church in Session PENN HELD RADICALS DOWN The Council Adopted a Declaration of Principles which will be submitted to the Board of Bishops Next Week—Wants Own Autonomy. Special to THE NEW YORK AGEN NASHVILLE, TENNIS, OCT. 27—The two hundred Negro laymen and ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church who met here October 21 and 22 to consider the future status of the 300,000 Negro members of the denomination, put themselves on record as favoring the election of Negro bishops for Negro churches and for the establishment of a jurisdictional or quadrennial conference, to be composed of the Negro membership, with identical powers and privileges as the white conferences. The paper read by Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore on "Methodism and the Negro in the Future," was the basis and substance of the declaration of principles adopted by the council. The Rev. W. H. Brooks of New York, who was chairman of the committee which issued the call for the meeting, presided at the opening of the meeting and was made permanent chairman, with Matthew S. Davage as secretary. Bishop Scott Sat With Committee. Bishop L. B. Scott, who has jurisdiction only over the work in Africa, was present and presided at the first session. He also sat with the committee which formulated the address to the church. Whatever tendency toward radicalism was shown by any of the members of the council was effectually controlled and directed by the conservative members of the body, the chief of whom appeared to be J. Garland Penn. Not knowing what effect radical action by the council might have upon his tenure of office as one of the secretaries of the Freedmen's Aid Society, Penn was evidently determined to run no unnecessary task. "Methodism and the Negro," the general topic considered by the council, was discussed by Dr. R. E. Jones, who contented himself with warning the colored members against doing anything to hurt themselves. Dr. Lorenzo King of Atlanta discussed the past attitude, of the church, bringing out some personal history, while Dr. P. O'Connell, discussing the present, rather disturbed the composition of the council. After Dr. Lyon had read his paper some of the radically inclined secured the floor and then things began to stir, but Penn stepped into the breach and with the aid of conservatives quieted the disturbing elements. The paper by Dr. T. B. Smith on "The Movements of Negro Bishops in the M. E. Church" was ordered printed and distributed because of its peculiar worth. Some of the men taking a prominent part in the council either as speakers or debaters were Dr. Martin of the Alabama conference; Dr. Scott Chinn; Dr. W. A. C. Hughes; Dr. M. J. Navarro; Dr. White, Dr. Gillium; Dr. Skelton of the Lexington conference; Dr. Brown of the Louisiana conference; Dr. J. C. Cougins, Dr. M. C. B. Mason and Dr. Sylvester H. Norwood. A. Plea for Negro Bishops. The Declaration of Principles adopted by the council will be presented to the Board of Bishops in its semi-annual session in the Fountain, Church next week. The action of the council is purely suggestive and it will depend entirely upon the action of the bishops and the general church as to what the future status of the Negro members will be; that is, as to whether or not Negro bishops shall be elected and the Negro membership granted autonomous relations. After expressing gratitude for the work done by the church in behalf of the race, and pledging themselves to further the development of the church by securing an increased membership and raising larger funds for the board of Foreign Missions, the Declaration of Principles set forth the following humble plea for Negro bishops and separate affiliated conferences: We are neither unmindful nor unappreciative of the work of our general superintendents in the interest of our work, and more especially of those whose episcopal residences are in the care of our general superintendents, whose care and supervision that idolous and social episcopal supervision is absolutely essential for the fullest development of the work of our general superintendents, therefore approve of the pro-episcopal mission of our bishops and languages, and request our Board of Bishops to submit the same to the annual conferences of the church during the fall of 1962, and earnestly pray their adoption. We also reside in the growing movement for church federation and unify the colored man has nothing to gain by sectionalism and division. We are united in union upon the New Testament Law. With the light now before us, we approve of the plan of the Federation Commission for the organization of Methodism providing for the establishment of a political network of electrical power and pilots, and one which is comprised of the affiliated colored membership. INSURANCE COMPANY'S BUILDING IN CHESTER Special to THE NEW YORK ACE CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 28.—The National Benefit Association, Inc., of Washington, D.C., has added another jewel to its crown. The third paid-for modern office building of this colored insurance company, has closed below October 20, and the event created profound interest among the white and colored population of this city. Nearly a thousand visitors—white and black—inspe ted this beautiful $6,000 property, which stands as a beacon light to the men and women of color in this section. The Morning Republican, the leading white daily newspaper of the city, pays this tribute to the principal speaker of the mass-meeting, which on Tuesday night featured the first of the two days' dedication and business conference: "Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women, and Girls, of Washington, D.C., proved to be one of the greatest exponents of the race problem that ever has been heard in Chester. Her address kept the large audacity thrilled by her passionate appeal to her race to live up to high ideas. She showed the great possibilities of the Negro in the struggle of life. All day the handsome new office building was crowded with interested persons who inspected the spacious and well-furnished quarters. The building is a credit to the association and the Negro race. This corporation is regarded as the Gibraltar of the Negro life-insurance companies. It has grown from tenant of a $5 per month, office room in 1898 to handover of fully-paid-for improved real estate in Washington, Philadelphia and Chester, valued at $55,000; owner of gilt-edged railroad and municipal bonds worth $19,000, over $50,000 of which is deposited for the protection of all policy-holders; depositor with a present cash bank balance of $8,000; possessor of a business worth $65,000, emulating a growing plant of 75 clerks, 70 agents, and 200,000 policy-holders in six states. Sixteen years ago the business was born. To-day, its resources exceed a quarter of a million. Agents Are Educated. One of the unique features of the Joint Agent's Conference was the training course for the field representatives of the National Benefit Association. Two days at special drill were conducted personally by S. W. Rutherford, general manager, and others of the head of the business. Perhaps no business institution of the race gives an equal degree of training to as large a force of employees as the National gives. Its value as an educative factor is shown by the increasing efficiency of the field forces, for never before in the history of the enterprise, has the business advanced by such leaps and bounds, as during the first nine months of 1914. Practical appraisal of the officials' work was demonstrated when the Chester, mass-mediting's audience bought and paid for $241 worth of stock for a $100,000 legal reserve insurance company. It is the sum of the promoters' stock and merge with the National Benefit Association by November 25, 1915, on the association's seventh anniversary. Walter W. Secord of Philadelphia, will tour the country giving free illustrated lectures showing the tremendous opportunities for employment and investment in the proposed National Benefit Like Insurance Company. For engagements write at one to the Home Office, care of the "Thrift Lecture Bureau", 600 E. street, northwest, Washington, D.C. The program of Tuesday's massmeeting was noteworthy. Hon. George H. White, ex-Congressman from North Carolina, acted as master of ceremonies. A valuable paper was read by Mrs. R. J. Bennett of Chester. Music by the choir of Murphy A. M. E. Church and the Girls' Culture Club of Chester was enjoyed. The Rev. W. S. Drummond is the excellent pastor of the Murphy A. M. E. Church, where both business concession and massmeeting were held. William J. Robinson, contractor, and C. Henry Wilson, second, architect—both colored and from Philadelphia—were the company's sole employees in the entire building operation.

MINISTERS OF NEW YORK SPEAK OUT FOR WHITMAN Prominent Divines Give Reasons for Supporting the Republican Ticket The Negro Volters of New York are given Valuable Advice by Ministers and Business Men as to their Duty at the Polls Tuesday, November 3 "What are your reasons for supporting Charles S. Whitman for governor, and why should the Negro voters of New York vote the Republican ticket?" was the text of a question submitted by an AGE representative to a number of the leading ministers and business men of the city. Without exception every man approached said he was going to vote for Whitman, and with two exceptions all made statements giving reasons for their intended action. The Rev. William H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks M. E. Church, declined to make a statement for publication at this time, but declared that he was intending to vote for Whitman and would make announcement from his pulpit, probably on the first Sunday in November, as to his stand in the campaign. The Rev. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, is affiliated with the Progressive committee, being a member of the county committee, and so he asked to be excused from giving reply to the question he would be sent to be quoted in the matter, but it is believed that he will cast his vote for Whitman. Others who were seen made strong statements and gave sound, solid reasons why the Republican party should receive the support of the Negro voters of the State. Some of the replies received are given below. From the Rev. A. Clayton Powell. "The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, said: Negroes should vote for Whitman on his record and the record of the Republican party. Douglass' saying is just as true today as when it was uttered. "For the Republican party is the ship and all else is the seas as far as the Negro is concerned. The Negro throws away his vote if he vote for either the Democrats, Progressive or Prohibition party. If Whitman is elected Governor he will be a formidable opponent to Wilson and in two years the Republican party will be again triumphant. Anybody with the thought that their 'hope is in any other party has been sadly disappointed. Whitman is a man on a par with McKinley, but with much greater sympathies toward colored people." By John B. Nail Real Estate. I have been asked why I favor and support Whitman for Governor. Allow me to say that, aside from his being a Republic, I support him because I believe him to be a man who will give a "fair field and no favor". In this day and time I don't believe that the Negro has a right to ask any more than that. All he has a right to demand is a man's chance; then it's up to him to measure up to a man's size and make good. We can't any longer expect other people to make good for us. Judging from Mr. Whitman's record, from what he says and from what he has done I feel that he will give the colored people of New York the same consideration that Mr. will give all other citizens of this State, and he is the only candidate before the people who promises to do it. For these reasons I am supporting him, and asking every man with whom I have any influence to do the same. By the Rev. Geo. H. Sims The Rev. G. H. J. Sinsi, whose influence in the San Juan Hill section is immenseurable, in speaking for Whitman, said, "Anybody who will go in after the police system of New York City must be a man of principle who will do what is right. I think the Republican party is wrong. The Wilson administration has done nothing in the themocratic party for the Negro. The Negro throws away his vote at the votes for any other party's candidates." By the Rev. R. M. Bolden. The Rev. R. M. Bolden, who founded and is pastoring the First Emmanuel Church at 105 West Whit street, said: "Looks as if Mr. Whitman is the best man. He has shown more strength and excels either of the other candidates. As district attorneyhe has carried out the functions of that office to a degree surpassing any predecessor. He has shown that he recognizes the worth of the colored people by his appointment of McDougal assistant district attorney and a colored woman as detective." By the Rev. J. W. Brown. The Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother Zion A. M. E. Church, said: "All consideration received by the Negro has come through the Republican party, champions of freedom in the Civil War. To them we are indebted for our rights of citizenship, the hap- 1 lot, the 14th and 15th amendments and recognition in public office. I shall vote for Mr. Whitman and all Negroes who wish good government and fair play and to see just laws passed and executed should vote, the Republican ticket. If there was ever a time that Negroes should vote the Republican ticket it is now. The Democratic party, with Wilson, has failed to keep its promises. Wilson has put out a large number of competent men who passed the civil service examination for no apparent reasons other than the fact that they were colored. Efficiency should be the test. The colors of a man's skin or place of birth should not be a barrier to his exercise of the franchise, to his enjoyment of privileges, or from the protection due him." By the Rev. B. W. Arnett. The Rev. I. B. W. Arnett said: "I think Whitman will be elected and I shall vote for him for he is the best man. The Republican party has shown that it can be trusted." NO COLOR LINE IN THIS RAMAGE, West Wax, Oct. 7. The Y. M. C. A. building erected by the Spruce River Coal Company, was dedicated October 10, the principal address being made by Governor H. D. Hatfield, with addresses by es-Governor W. A. McCorkie and Byrd Prillerman, president of the West Virginia Colored Institute. The building is a two-story frame structure with basement containing lavatories and shower baths. The first floor is for social games and serving refreshments. The second floor is for religious services. No race discrimination is practiced in this association. On the day of the dedication the Negroes and whites communed freely with no sign of friction. Officers of the coal company which erected the building are I. M. T. Taggart of Massillon, Ohio, president, and J. F. Ramage, for whom the town is named is superintendent, F. E. Taggart, son of the president, is principal stockholder. C. W. Ridenson is secretary of the association, and the board of directors is composed of both Negroes and white men. Miss Luetta Lipscomb, a student at the West Virginia Colored Institute, was pianist for the exercises. The village has two good school houses and an athletic field and the company is planning to erect a hospital. The houses for the nurses are sanitary. No person is employed on the works who cannot furnish a recommendation of good moral character and temperate cities. WHITE MAN IN FLORIDA CONVICTED OF MURDER Days ago, Flan, Oct. 27. For the first time in Florida's history a white man has been convicted of murdering a Negro three white men, Ben McDaniel, B. M. Franklin and Math Davis, were convicted at humpstown, Calhoun County, Flan of killing Negro Johnson at Negro, whose body found in a cross 'Another Negro, a material witness, was killed at the same time, last the men were not tried on that charge. They will probably be given life imprisonment. The man was in juvenile and felony proceedings in the community. Negro was advanced for the killing Court was in session when the sentence was committed and the arrest of the men was followed quickly by their indictment, trial and conviction. Ten days after the murder they were convicted. HRUSKA PAINTS POR: TRAIT OF WASHINGTON Special in File New York Age READING, Pa. Oct. 28—Sterling hundred of Reading's citizens, including musicians, clergymen and business men, were the guests of Seth Bunker Capp, artist of the city, at the unveiling of Hruska, 539 Penn street, on the evening of Saturday, October 15, the occasion being a farewell musical reception in honor of Dr. Booker' T.

PRICE FIVE CENTS NEGRO SOLDIERS WORLD'S FINEST Cavalry Regiments Making Unsurpassed Record under Trying Conditions Two Years on the Mexican Border and the 9th and 10th Cavalry Troopers Have Experienced Worse than War. 6 SHOT BY STRAY BULLETS A Tribute to the Negro Troopers by Correspondent of Influential Daily Newspaper of the Southwest- They are Object Lesson in Patriotism. In view of the record being made in the European war by the black soldiers brought into the war zone by the French and English peoples, it is of value and interest to note also the record in this country of the Negro soldiers belonging to the United States army. For two years or more the Ninth Cavalry has been stationed on the Mexican border, and not infrequently the associated press dispatches bring the news that troopers of that regiment have fallen victims to stray Mexican bullets which have come across the boundary line. And the surviving comrades have not had a chance to avenge the fallen victims. The gallant attitude and soldierly devotion to duty of the Negro soldiers arouses the admiration and respect of all who come in contact with them, and it has been lelaired that they are the finest soldiers in the world. A Tribute to Negro Soldiers 11. A. Lamb, a white newspaper man of the Southwest, is staff correspondent of the Douglass (Ariz.) Daily International, one of the largest and most influential papers in that section. Lamb recently visited Naco, Ariz., where the Ninth and Tenth regiments of cavalry are stationed and as a result he sent the following special to that paper: "Ariz., Oct. 19.—To my mind the most interesting man in the cavalry corps (Ninth and Tenth regiments) and the border duty here. The American soldiers have some through an experience more tryable than the cavalry corps (Ninth and Tenth regiments). A trip to Nato to see them on duty is an object lesson in patriotism. Nobody can come here without serve these soldiers without feeling greater that they are the nation's military presiding. To one it seems that the behavior of the Nato regiment has been only commensable, but remarkable, to it from the first. The only compliants I have hard about them are from General Hill, and the commanders are vague and without corollation. The Troopers Never Complain. On the side of the line, under conditions naturally provocative of more or less criticism, I have never heard a complaint. From them, themselves and their officers I have never heard a complaint. I uniformly, they are not only cruel in their relations with civilians. I have never noticed a soldier, even while off duty, acting any other part than that of a gentleman. Their appearance is very exceptional, however, is the common sense of moderation only which they use their authority. Making a gallant choice on the enemy is compared with the ordeal the troopers are faced with, and they test not only of courage, but of cheerfulness and kindness. Cheerfully others and men take their bit when kept on duty one or two days; when they get the setting a wink of sleep. Always when, in the heat of danger when the fire becomes heavy one in pain or less danger of being shot, America tack early Sunday morning, for instance. America shields through shadows of socalled "bullet" bullets in frame homes of their danger and to tie them to the few places in town really safe. By by by a "strap" has none of the glory and glamour of being wielded in the battlefield. Six Troopers Shot by Mexicans record of the Fifth and the Tenth cavalry, so they are unaccountably a credit to their regiments. Hillmores, N. Y. Oct 28—Their F. R. Powell of Hillburn, N.

Price $1.25 post paid Address: B. A.

C., Oct. 27. —The Raiser-Pig Movement, inaugurated by Booker T. Washington, some weeks ago, has caused much favorable comment from the colored press. The Charlotte (N. C.) Observer speaks eloquently as follows: "The Observer is always found much to commend in Booker Washington's administration of the affairs of Pushee Institute, but nothing more than the inspiration which has come to him through conditions precipitated on the South by the European War. In a letter to the editor of the Observer—and one which we suppose he has sent to other papers—he outlines a policy by which he once made him provide itself with better home schools, colleges and churches and last but not least, pay its debts. He warns that that his desirable result cannot be attained at once, but steadily and progressively through "a strong pull together." According to the argument of this colored educator, there are 1,400,000 colored families who live on farms or in villages. Of this number at the present time 700,000 have no nigs. "I want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall." He suggests that this plan be followed by the organization where one does not already exist and asks that the matter be taken up through families, schools, churches, societies, Farmers' Institutes and Business Leagues. As he figures it, the average pig is valued at about $5. If each family adds only one pig, in a few months at the present prices of hogs, $10 would be added to the wealth if the owner and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the colored people. If each family adds two pigs, it would have in a few months $20 more wealth and $8.80 more income. It promotes the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European War. The Observer commends this plan to the colored farmers of North Carolina. It is the most practical piece of advice which has been handed out to them in years, and it points the way to independence and the comfort of life." Increase of Painted Houses in Country Special to The New York Acr. Tuskegee Institute At 116 27—To paint or not to paint the buildings, was once a very leading question in the South when new buildings were to be erected, especially frame structures, and the question was pertinent with respect to the front of the brick buildings, for the use of press bricks is comparatively a new feature through the South. But the painter lived along, and got enough to do to keep him busy and in good living shape. Now all that is changed. Even country people are using paint, and plenty of it, not only on their residences, but on their barns and outhouses. After the use of white-vash became general the step to the use of paint was a short one. Painting and paperangling, for these together, is one of the trades in which colored manhole fields his own all along, but which he is forced to divide by the changing order of things, not because of prejudice, but because other men with theory as well as practice, and with initiative to suggest colors for paint and figures for paint. PETER A. have made their presence known in the field. A painter in the South commands good wages, running from $3 to $4 per day, and affording a satisfactory margin on contracts. There is no occasion for colored, men giving up this trade in the South; nor will they be called on to surrender it if they can compete with the white painters not only as to price but as to good work. The painting division at Tuskegee Institute is one of the most important divisions in the industrial department, for everything at Tuskegee is painted, inside and out, and the students who take the three-year course gets full knowledge and full particulars. House painting and sign painting, wagon painting, with plenty of each to paint; history of wall paper, and preparation for wall papering; stain and varnish work; glazing, the mixing of lead and the use of shellac; grain and marble work; ooawaxing and kalsomining, are all included in the theory and taught in the practice. Coach painting is taught along with exterior and interior painting. "The man with the brush" with a Tuskegee certificate usually has more jobs than he can handle alone MARSHALL. TEXAS. Marshall, Texas.—Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, opened October 6, with a much smaller enrollment than is usual on the first day. The main reason for the decreased attendance probably lies in the cotton deadlock that is paralyzing the activities of the Southland. The students come, in a majority of cases, from communities that feel the financial depression. There are one hundred and seventy bright boys and girls eager for work. These students are nearly all in the higher grades. The college department is unusually large. The lower grades can find accommodation in many cases at home while real colleges for the higher education of the Negro youth in the South are inadequate. Last year the teachers were overburdened with classes of great size, the numbers making it impossible for either teacher, or student to do their best work. This year promises opportunity for much better work all around. The faculty is added to by the return of Miss Marietta D. Barker, who has been away on a leave of absence for two years. BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Firmingham, Ala.—Miss. Madeline Evang of Chattanooga, Tenn., has been secured as general secretary of the Y. W. C. A. of this city. She was trained at the national headquarters, New York City. She taught for several years in the city schools of Chattanooga and was active in church and social work. For four years Miss Evans was appointed by the state officials as an instructor in state institutions. A vote for Davenport or Sulzer, neither of whom can be elected, is a half vote for Glynn.

This right is not a question of several men drawing a salary, but a question of the race having representation in the administration of the government. We claim this right not only because we are contributing citizens of the Republic, but because it gives us a higher and a deserved status in the communities in which we live and in the eyes of the civilized world. To have it, generally understood that we, as a race, were debarred from any share in the administration of the government would be almost equivalent to disfranchisement. The following is a partial list of the distinguished colored men who held office under President TAFT's administration who have been either removed or forced to resign under the present administration. The list does not include the Hon. JAMES W. JOHNSON, who voluntarily resigned the post of Consul at Corinto, and was succeeded by a white man.

He is, secondly, a liberal-minded man, who has the bravery to put his convictions into practice. That he believes the Negro should be accorded the same consideration that all other citizens receive; that he believes the Negro has a right not only to the protection of the government, but also to participation in it; and that he is not afraid to take an open and avowed stand on these propositions is already proven by his record. In the third place, the election of Whitman and the Republican ticket will throw New York into the Republican column and lead to the restoration of the Grand Old Party in 1916. By this time, colored men ought to know what it means to us to have a friendly administration in power at Washington. JUDGE DUGRO AND HIS OPINION OF COLORED PEOPLE. A white man named Daniel M. Brady charged a colored Pullman car porter named George W. Griffin with stealing $20 and other valuables. Griffin proved his innocence, and then brought suit against Brady for malicious prosecution, false arrest and imprisonment. The jury brought in a verdict of $2,500 and costs for Griffin. Judge Dugro set the verdict aside on the grounds that a colored man could not suffer humiliation or be damaged in his reputation to that extent. The following extract from his decision is quoted from pages 72 and 73 of the Case of Appeal, filed in the County Clerk's office. Judge Dugro said: "He Griffin, would not be hurt just as much if put in prison as every other man would be. That depends on a man's standing, what his circumstances are, and if he is a Colored man, the fact that he is a Colored man is to be considered. You cannot say he is just the same as a white man when you come to say how much shame he will suffer. Is it likely—that when a Colored man is arrested and imprisoned he feels just as much shame as a white man might? In this sort of community, I dare say the amount of evil that would flow to the Colored man from a charge like this (false arrest) would not be as great as it probably would be to a white man." How would you like to have your case come up before a judge who feels and talks like that? And even if you hope and expect never to have a case, how could you, a man of color, vote for Judge Dugro without a feeling of shame at your act? For his words show that he does not merely hate a colored man, but, what is worse, he despises him. A man may hate his peer or his superior; then hatred carries a sort of compliment with it; but when one man despises another, he has placed him on the lowest plane of regard to which the human mind can descend. Judge Dugro's sentiment is the common sentiment of the South, and the common sentiment of the South is the sentiment of Southern Democracy, and the sentiment of Southern Democracy is, at present, the sentiment of the Democratic party. He has been on the bench for a great many years. He is, without doubt, learned in the law and versed in judiciary proceedings; but I, as a Negro, would vote for a candidate who didn't know the difference between a law book and a telephone directory before I would vote for any man holding such opinions as those expressed by Judge Dugro. THE SHIFT OF THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION. The American Bar Association in its recent session repealed the resolution adopted in 1912, by which Negroes were debarred from becoming members. The resolution which the Association repealed read as follows: "Whereas, three persons of the colored race were elected to membership in this association without knowledge upon the part of those electing them that they were of that race and are now members of this association; "Resolved, That as it has never been contemplated that members of the colored race should become members of this association the several local councils are directed that if at any time any of them shall recommend a person of the colored race for membership they shall accompany the recommendation with a statement of the fact that he is of such race." This action of the Bar Association looks, on its face, like a victory for fair play, but it isn't. Before there was any debate on Moorfield Storey's resolution for repeal, Harry St. George Tucker, of Virginia, offered a substitute rescinding the 1912 resolution, but requiring applicants to state to the Executive Committee their race, sex, etc. It can be seen that this simply amounts to turning the question over to the Executive Committee. We regret to see that Mr. Storey, who has made a hard and gallant fight on this question, was, at the last moment, led to accept a compromise which means the bringing up of the color line with each new application for membership. In regard to the repeal of the 1912 resolution, it sounds strange to hear The Evening "Post" say, "This saves the Association from the stigma of drawing a racial line, even if it makes it possible to reject a candidate upon that ground alone." "The membership of the association will speedily find that there is little difference between their old and their new responsibility. Indeed, they may discover that their last state is the worse of the two, for it was at least courageous to draw the color line openly and clearly; and that is more than can be said for the present action." The "Times" goes on to ask the following pertinent question and to say: "Without eventuring unasked advice in a delicate and rather private matter, one can still ask the lawyers whether the Bar Association is a social club or a gathering of men measuring up to certain professional standards. Of course nobody has a right, or even an excuse, for trying to join a club where, for any reason whatever, a measurable minority of the members do not want him. On the other hand, to exclude anybody from a group which he has been officially and formally de- changed qualified to enter seriously affronts the competency and the dignity of our courts." In this whole matter we again have an example of a majority of fair-minded man influenced and controlled by the persistency of Southern prejudice; the relentless prejudice that not only bears down upon the Negro in the South, but pursues him to every quarter of the globe; the prejudice that has for its ultimate aim the making of the Negro's status in this country a permanently secondary one. As a commentary on the above it will not be out of place to add that the Association elected as president, Peter W. Meldrim, of Savannah, Georgia. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S DEBT TO THE WAR. The indications are that the Democratic margin in the next House of Representatives will be greatly reduced, if not entirely lost. The Democrats now have a plurality in the House of 163. From estimates which are conceded by Democratic leaders in Washington, the result of the coming elections will be a loss of, at least, 60 seats to the Democrats. Democratic leaders, and the President himself are seeking to make the chief issue of the campaign a personal endorsement of President Wilson: Their plea is, "Uphold the President." In so doing they are playing their strongest card; a card, however, that will capture very few colored votes. If, after nearly two years of unhampered power and legislation, the Democratic party is reduced to cry, "Don't repudiate the President!" what will be left to say in 1916? And this plea for an endorsement of the Wilson Administration, upon what does it rest? It is not based upon the boasted constructive legislation of a Democratic Congress, but upon the claim that it is due to Mr. Wilson's calmness of judgment and love of peace that we are not now involved in war. The country is not so much indebted to the Wilson Administration for being at peace as the Wilson Administration is indebted to the war for a chance to maintain itself. It is an acknowledged fact that the war has been a godsend to the Democrats. Three months ago the leaders of the party privately admitted that they would lose the House. Then came the war and the attention of the nation was taken off the failures of the party in power. The war has enabled the Democrats to cover up their shortcomings; it has enabled them to levy a "war tax" of $100,000,000, to cover up a deficiency caused by unwise, tariff legislation, a deficiency which would be greater if there were no war. If a war involving three-fourths of the civilized world is necessary to save the Democrats in an off year, what will it take to save them in 1918? ONCE MORE HAITI. Haiti is again in the throes of a revolution, and we are once more compelled to feelings of regret at the thought that the only real independent Negro state in the world has not yet achieved stable government. However, the condition in Mexico stops the ever ready critics from pointing their fingers and declaring that the state of affairs in the Island Republic is due to the innate incapacity of the Negro for self-government. The fact is, revolutions occur in Haiti, for the same reasons that they occur in Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico; and in none of the latter countries is there any considerable Negro element, with the possible exception of Honduras. The writer will some time give in these columns his opinion as to the causes of revolutions in Latin-American countries, and how those causes apply to Haiti. THE ADMINISTRATION'S MEXICAN POLICY. If it were not for the great war in Europe the attention of this country would be more keenly centered upon the blunder of the Administration at Washington with regard to our relations with Mexico. The Democratic press is loud in declaring that had it not been for President Wilson's misnamed policy of "watchful waiting" we should have been at war with our neighboring republic. The truth of the matter is, it was the President's policy that came very near involving us in war with that country. First came the diplomatic mistake of refusing, to recognize Huerta. Then the foolish demand that he get down and out—a demand that could not be enforced; then the taising of the embargo against the shipment of arms and ammunition to the rebels; then the sending of a great fleet to Vera Cruz—out of this last act arose the embarrassing "salute the flag" incident. Either of these steps, if taken with a strong nation, would have brought on war. War was avoided only on account of Mexico's weakness. Ever since the Spanish-American war and our acquisition of certain territory from Spain, the influence of the United States in Latin-American affairs has been greatly widened, and the several Rpublican Administrations have been dealing successfully with just such problems as that which arose in Mexico. These problems were successfully dealt with because long experience had given to the Rpublican party a corps of trained men, who knew how to handle such questions. The great trouble with the Democratic foreign policy is that the party has very few men who have had the practice. The ludicrous mistakes made by so many of the lately appointed diplomats illustrate this fact. In this matter of foreign policy, at least, the Democrats would have done well to have followed in the footsteps of the Republicans; anyhow, until they had learned the ropes. THE FRANK CASE AGAIN. Atlanta, Georgia, is still being stirred by the Lee M. Frank case. Every effort is being made by the defense to saddle the murder on the colored man, Conley. Whether Frank murdered Mary Phagan or not we do not know; but the mere fact that Conley did not long ago make his exit from this terrestrial sphere, via a chariot of fire, is convincing proof that he, at least, is not the man who committed the deed. Politically, the Negro of the Northern, Western and North Western States is the keeper of his brother in other sections of the country. Here, he has a vote; his vote is counted and, what is more important, his vote is a factor in deciding the results of elections. This is real political power, and it should not be traded for a mess of potage. It should not be squandered for just some petty local advantages. It is a power that the nation should be made to feel. The strongest lever for raising and maintaining the civil and political status of the entire race throughout the country is in the hands of the colored voters in these states; but results will depend upon the wisdom, the unity of purpose, and the altruistic spirit with which it is used. J. W. J. Do not fail to vote for delegates to the Constitutional Convention. You vote for them on a separate ballot. To vote a straight ticket mark in the circle at the top only. To vote for only a part, mark a cross before each name for which you wish to vote; but do not in such case also mark in the circle. A democratic magistrate, Judge ZELLER, has dismissed every case brought before him by a colored man or woman for refusal of service at a hotel, restaurant, theatre or saloon. THE COLOR LINE IN POLITICS Wherever the Democratic Party is in power the color line is drawn. President Woodrow Wilson has drawn the color line by removing nearly all the colored men from the big offices and supplanting them with white men. FURNISS, NAPIER, TYLEK, HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON, WILLIAM H. LEWIS, JOHN E. BUSH, NATHAN ALEXANDER, General Robert SMALES, JOSEPH E. LEE of Florida, Governor PINCINBACK, the grand old patriot, and many others have been removed and white men have been appointed in their places. JOHN SKELTON WILLIAMS, while Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, segregated the colored employees of the Treasury Department, and even drew the color line against our women who were not allowed to use the same toilet rooms with the white women. In the House of Representatives, February 23, 1914, Mr. Edwards, a democratic Congressman, introduced the following bill: A BILL to segregate Government Employees of the White Race from those of African Blood or Descent. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress Assembled. That the heads of all executive departments shall issue all orders that may be necessary to secure in all branches of the service of the United States the SECREGATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES OF THE WHITE RACE FROM THOSE OF AFRICAN BLOOD OR DESCENT in the performance of their services. Sec. 2. That white clerks or employees shall not be required to occupy the same offices or workrooms with clerks or employees of African blood or descent; nor shall any white clerk or employee be placed under the orders, direction, or supervision of any person of African blood or descent. Sec. 3. That in the Railway Mail Service of the Post Office Department white clerks shall not be ordered to duty in the same mail car with postal clerks of African blood or descent. The U. S. House of Representatives removed all of the old and trusted colored employees, and even drew the color line in the restaurant in the House of Representatives where colored people had been served for time in memorial. The democrats of the City of Baltimore passed a segregation law prohibiting colored citizens from purchasing in white localities. The democrats of the State of Maryland passed a Jim Crow Car law and made three separate attempts to pass a disfranchisement law, which were only defeated by the activity of Cardinal Gibbons and the factional strife within the democratic party itself. Every other democratic State south of Mason and Dixon's line has a Jim Crow car law and a disfranchisement law. There are however two Southern States which have no disfranchisement law or Jim Crow car law. They are Delaware and West Virginia, but both are REPUBLICAN. Now turn your attention to New York. Judge Ducoo is running on the democratic ticket for Justice of the Supreme Court. It was he who laid down the dictum that a Negro did not suffer as much humiliation as a white man by false imprisonment. How is that for drawing the color line, by a Judge of the Suprefhe Court, in a Northern State? The democratic State Athletic Commissioner of the State of New York has ruled that no boxing contest or prize fight between a colored man and a white man can take place in this State. This ruling was made to prevent any Negro, from hereafter winning a championship. Think of the color line being drawn in the prize ring by an officer of the State which produced ROSCOE That Democrat is running on the ticket this year for re-election. Shortly after the war and the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment by the legislature of this State, a democratic member of the legislature introduced a resolution rescindling the ratification of this Amendment. It was supported by every democratic member of that body, excepting Hon. SMITH M. WEED, who was all his life long, a leading anti-Tammany democrat. GOVERNOR GLYNN AND THE NEGRO REGIMENT. If Governor Glynn and the Democratic State officials are genuinely in earnest about the organization of the Negro regiment, why did the Governor announce that the examination of officers for the regiment could be carried no further on account of lack of appropriation? Is it not true that examining boards are always sitting, and that it needs no special appropriation to provide for military examinations? Is it not also true that it is not the custom to examine officers for a new regiment, before the regiment itself is set up? Is it not, on the other hand, the custom to set up the regiment, drill and train the men, and then appoint or select the officers? Are Governor Glynn, the Democratic party and the State officials honestly in earnest about the organization of the Negro regiment? THE M. E. CHURCH. In another column we carry an important news item relating to the decision of the colored members of the Methodist Church to withdraw, and form themselves into a separate organization. This is a very serious move. We presume the colored members of the Methodist Church who are at the head of this move understand fully, what they are doing. There is one direction, however, in which we wish to express ourselves in no uncertain terms. It is the opinion of all thinking people among our race that we have enough Methodist organizations. We have three large, important branches of the Methodist Church—the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. There is no need, in our opinion, of adding another strictly colored organization. From a financial point of view, the time has come when the leaders in religious matters must consider the burdens that rest upon our people. Already, we have three bishops doing the work that one bishop could do—covering the same territory, involving the expense of traveling as well as salary of three men instead of one man; we have three sets of presiding elders covering the same territory and involving the expense of salary and travel; and in many cases we have three Methodist churches bearing different names, located in the same community where one Methodist church would answer the same purpose. All of this places a financial burden upon the people that ought to be considered. The race is not ready for the fourth organization that will involve the demand of another, set of bishops, another set of presiding elders and a duplication of individual church organizations in various communities, when one organization could do the work. We ask our brethren of the Methodist church to consider this question very seriously before they organize a separate and distinct Methodist church. There is no reason, whatever, why those who wish to pull out from the Northern Methodist Church cannot in some way affiliate with one of the colored Methodist organizations now in existence, and thus save the race the added expense, and also bring about a unity in religious matters, which is very much desired. Your Vote May Decide This Election In order that every voter may vote the new ballot intelligently the accompanying reproduction of the official ballot, reduced in size, is shown with marks for the Republican candidates. The only way to rid the state of the present Tammany-Glynn administration is for every voter who desires that result to vote for all of the Republican candidates. To do this make a cross mark under the eagle in the group for governor and in the square to the right of the eagle for all other candidates. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE THE SEPARATE BALLOT FOR DELEGATES TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. To vote for all the Republican candidates for the constitutional convention put a cross mark in the circle under the eagle. 1. GOVERNOR (Vote for one). MARTIN H. GLYNN CHARLES & WRITTAN FREDERICK M.

Hicks and daughter, Miss Lola and others, rendered services. The services were well attended all day. The Rev R. H.

Mrs. Lola Hicks, who underwent an operation for appendicitis, and was confined in the Long Branch Hospital for three weeks, is home and is doing as well as can be expected. The services were well attended at the St. Paul Baptist Church Sunday. The Rev Mr. Boulding occupied—the plpit all day. SOMERVILLE, N.

PASSAGE, N. J. — Bethel A. M. E. Church has put in great financial effort the past two weeks. The trustees to date have raised $244.16 and the friends are still paying in their pledges. The Sunday School under Mrs. Saxington Lewis held its coal rally Sunday afternoon. $13.18 was realized. Mrs. H. J. Dickson and Mrs. Rachel Schofield attended the missionary convention held in Orange, N. J. A musical concert was given Thursday evening at Bethel, by Miss Aligia B. Russell of Montclair, which was a great success. The Rev. A. G. Henry of Drew Seminary will preach at 11 a. m., and the Rev. R. B. Smith at 8 p. m. A reception will be given by the Rose. A vote for Davenport or Sulzer, neither of whom can be elected, is a half vote for Glynn. So cast your vote for Whitman. The ballot which you will vote on Election Day is unlike any ballot you have ever voted before in this State. Remember it contains no separate party columns. Delegates to the Constitutional Convention are voted for on a separate ballot. As it will be difficult to remember the names of all the candidates of the party you should look for the Republican emblem THE EAGLE. Put your X mark under that emblem for Governor and opposite it for the other candidates. ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N:J. ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. J—Last Sunday was a great day in the Quinn's Chapel, N. M. E.

Those on the left received white roses and those on the right-received red roses. Then there was a financial contest to see which side won, and it resulted in the whites winning.

WILL GIVE AWAY GOLD DEVOTEES of the Modern Dances those who are not a bit backward in declaring in public that they regard themselves as close rivals to Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle—are to be given an opportunity to show what they know about the maxixe, tango, hesitation waltz and other ballroom dances, the management of the Lafayette Theatre having hit upon a novel plan to bring all ambitious amateur dancers in the limelight. Commencing Friday, October 30, a dancing contest will be held every Friday evening at the Lafayette Theatre which will be open to all amateur dancers. The contest will be held each week after the last vaudeville performance, and the length of time to be consumed in holding this unique dancefest on the stage, will, of course, be determined by the number of contestants who desire to participate for honors. However, honors alone will not be the only chief item of interest, as the theatre management will give away in gold three prizes, to be divided as follows: $10 to the winner of the first prize, $7.50 to the second and $5 to the third. The Lafayette Theatre management decided to give money to the winners instead of medals, believing that at this time that gold would be more acceptable. Prof. Charles H. Anderson, the popular dancing master, has consented to act as one of the judges, and he is regarded as an authority on the Modern Dances, having, with the assistance of Mrs. Anderson, taught Miss Joan Sawyer a number of the latest steps a few weeks ago. The other judges assisting Prof. Anderson will be well qualified to serve in so important a capacity. On Friday evening of this week the contestants will be called upon to dance the hesitation waltz and one-step, regarded as among the easiest and less complex of the Modern Dances. All couples desiring to take part in Friday evening's contest are instructed to apply at the box office of the Lafayette Theatre. The bill at the Lafayette Theatre for the first half of the week might be aptly referred to as "a songfest," as music and song saturated every act, save one. But no complaint could be registered against the presence of so many singing acts on the bill, as all were different to a marked degree, and, besides, every act won applause in big chunks. There was not a weak act on the bill, therefore the entertainment afforded was of high order. Brown & Pinkey, a sister team, were the biggest applause-getters. Opening the bill at the first show, Monday, their act went over with such force that they were later changed to fifth position, regarded as the clean-up spot on the bill, where they continued to create lots of excitement. Brown & Pinkey have a sister act of large possibilities. They are two colored girls who are good singers and very clever dancers. Their talk is too long and gets' rather tiresome, but all this is forgotten in their strong finish when they close with an eccentric dance quite out of the ordinary. The Clipper Trio enjoyed headline honors and demonstrated its worth by satisfactorily holding down the closing spot. Jesse Clipper is appearing in vaudeville minus his wife, who is ill in Chicago. His new team-mates play musical instruments while Clipper does most of the singing. While both musicians favorably impress, it is the male member who deserves especial mention for the tone he gets out of his trombone, which he does without playing forte, Jesse Clipper appears to be sandwiched in with a musical act which does not offer him a chance to shine as brightly as a comedian as in the past. However, he makes the best of his opportunity. The act has been held over. The Robinson Trio, with two new people, is perhaps stronger than at any time during its career. Robinson is still one of the sweetest tenors in vaudeville and uses judgment in his selections. His team-mates render him valuable aid, and the act gets over from start to finish. The trio has also been held over for the last half: Henry Herbert & Co. presented an upbrairiously funny sketch which went big at each performance. The sketch is a big scream from beginning to end. It is well constructed and well acted. The Fadin O'Brien Trio presented a clever singing act; which is original in many ways. Two members of the act are singers who may be taken seriously, and who, besides, give evidence of being versatile actors. Zella Norton does a single turn and lier work stamps her as a performer of promise. The Whitman Sisters, with eight people in their act, will headline the bill at the Lafayette Theatre next week. Next Tuesday, Election Day, holiday prices will prevail. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. W. A. Barclay's Mystery Show is at Charlotte, N. C. Fiddler & Shelton are at the Avenue Theatre, Chicago. Thos. A. Brookes and his Froliques of 1914 are at Masonic Theatre, Louis- ville. Ed S. Peat is working single. Last week at Green's Opera-House, Cam- bridge, Md. Anderson & Goines are laying off this week and will open at the Empress The atre, San Francisco, November 1. J. Leubrie Hill and the Darktown Follies, Clarence W. Logan, business manager, is at the Club Theatre, Roche- ster, N. Y. Thomas & Saparo were at Poli's Theatre, Bridgeport, Conn., the first half of this week, and will be at the Plaza Theatre, Hartford, Conn., the second half. At Wood's Cafe, corner of Fifth avenue and 132nd street, Corine Lucas and Flossey Turner entertainers; Tom Simmons and Sims Johnson, musicians, are meeting with success. Lillian Rose and Florence Emory are the singing artists at the Dunbar Hotel, 129 West 53d street, Joseph Boyd, manager. Otis Saunders, pianist, and Harry Stout furnish the instrumental music. The patrons of the Royal Cafe, 67 West 135th street, J. W. Connor, manager, are pleased with the work of Alice Leslie Carter, Bert Titus and Mattie Hite. These voices form a trio that blend well. The Odeon Theatre, Newark, opened Monday under new management. Nicholas Spratley is manager. On the bill this week are S. H. Dudley, the Whitman Sisters, William & Stevens, Perrin & Crosby, Maud Jones and Roman & Hanson. . . . The new and spacious Palace Casino, Inc., 14-28 East 135th street, under the management of R. H. Richardson, will be opened to the public, Monday evening, November 2, with a free dance and reception. Good music will be given from 8 p. m. to 4 a. m. Mme. Pauline Dempsey, accompanied at the piano by Mme. Lena Bronaugh is singing "When You Sang the Rosary," at the Hotel Press, 19-21 West 135th street, Mrs. Hannah Walker, manager. Miss Daisy Martin has returned to the Hotel Press. At Barron's Astoria Cafe, Cora Green and Virginia Johnson are featuring the "Eagle Rock." Tony Donovan is singing a song entitled "The Fingers in the Pie." The orchestra is composed of Fred Tunstall, at the piano; Harvey Elliot, drums; Henry W. Paschal, flute. At the Crescent Cafe, 126 West 135th street, Kid Griffin, maanger, Mildred Creed, Mabel Watts and Mamie Sharpe are the singers. Baby Lee, Eddie Jones and Georgia Brown furnish the instrumental music. At the afternoon teas Bertha Wheeler and Gertrude King entertain. --- Sunday evening at Leroy's Cafe, corner 135th street and Fifth avenue, "Piccolo" Jones reinforced the orchestra. The many encores he received was evidence of the patrons' appreciation. The performances for the week are: Maude Shelton, singer and violinist; Nellie Shelton, bass violinist and singer; Ethel Brown and Evon Junior. * Kid Hoy of Battimore, Md., and Battling Monroe of Cincinnati, fought an 8-round draw at Lima, Ohio, with Chas. Maxwell as referee. The boys put up a clever fight before a large crowd. Kid Hoy will locate in Lima and can be engaged by addressing him care of general delivery, that city, or care the sporting editors of the Lima News or Lima Times Democrat. The Real Quartet, G. L. Conley, manager and first tenor, J. L. Johnson, second tenor, L. G. Board, first bass, and J. W. Turner, second bass, was one of the features of the Texas State Fair at Dallas, Texas. The boys received some nice notices from the white papers in Dallas. The quartet is said to be the first Negro act to work on a bill with white acts in that town. Jas. F. Mondaaye, "Le Great Mondaaye," who played at the Lafayette two weeks ago, writes from Philadelphia and makes the following comment: "There is a great difference between criticism and personal knocking and the sooner the writers on the staffs of some of the Negro journals learn this the better it will be for the stage, the press and the race. You cannot build up by undermining nor correct by persecution." Hen Wise and Katie Milton write from Camp McGrath, Batangas, Philippine Islands, that they have finished a year's tour of the Far East, including China, Japan and the Philippines. They were to start for home August 22, by way of Shanghai, Nagisaki, Kobe and Yokohoma to Honolulu. Wise & Milton stayed two weeks in the camp post hall and two weeks in the Rizal Theatre, Batangas, which is controlled by the colored business men and soldiers of the camp. The Spanish War Veterans of the 24th Infantry gave a benefit to Wise & Milton which netted $130.50. Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Brooks, wives of Sergeant Richards and Corporal Brooks of the 24th Infantry, tendered receptions to Mrs. Wise (Katie Milton) at which only ladies were guests. The Wises are now supposed to be in Honolulu. PHONE : 12*7 Morningside J.

Pastor Sims Saves Young Man from Jail Through the active interest shown by the Rev. George H. Sims, pastor of Union, Baptist Church, Charlie Whitfield, a young Negro from the South, was released from the toils of the law after being severely beaten by two policemen and arranged in court on the charge of striking and resisting an officer. The incident happened near 135th street and Lenok avenue and Dr. Sims was an eye-witness. The proprietor of the Broadway lunch room, a white man, doing business on 135th street, was charged by several colored men with drawing a pistol on them to enforce the payment of a disputed bill. The attendant excitement attracted a large crowd, among whom were Charles Whitfield, and the minister. The police officers did not seem to care to arrest the white man on the charge made by the Negroes and finally ordered the crowd to disperse. In pushing the people back, Whitfield, from all accounts, did not get back fast enough to suit the brutes clothed with police authority, and one of them struck him down with his club. Then, for attempted justification, they claimed he resisted them and struck one of them, and both policemen beat him unmercifully with their clubs, after which he was placed under street. The Sims followed them with the determination to see what the outcome would be. After making trips to the to the precincts at 130th street and Lenox avenue and 126th street and Lexington avenue, he located the prisoner at the precinct on 123rd street, between 7th and 8th avenues. Here he was informed that the prisoner would be arraigned in the night court on 57th street between Lexington and Third avenue. When the case was called Dr. Sims was present. The policemen made their statements and the Judge was about to remand Whitfield back to jail when Dr. Sims interposed and gave the Judge a statement which embodied the true facts. After reprimanding the policemen the Judge discharged the young Negro from custody. Baptist Temple.
