CAN SCIENCE TELL NEGRO BLOOD?
Racial Identity of Detroit Woman in Question--Submit Problem to Scientist
DR. BOAS HASHARD TASK
Detroit Physician Suing for Divorce Asserts His Wife Is of Negro. Parentage-The Wife Seeks Proof of White Blood.
A GOLDEN-HAIRED BLONDE
Always Thought Parents Were White
Couple in Denver who Died when She
Was Baby—Husband Says Mother is
Colored Railroad Matron in Cincinnati
Dr. Franz Boas, anthropologist of
Columbia University and of the American Museum of Natural History, has been called upon to decide whether or not Mrs. Arthur Little, wife of a prominent physician in Detroit, Mich., is a white woman or a quadroon. She is described, as a "golden haired blonde, with beautiful gray eyes and regular features. Her husband is suing, for a divorce oh the ground that she is not a white woman but assests that she is the daughter of a full-blooded Negro and of Mrs. F. Jefferson, a colored matron of a railroad station in Cincinnati.
Mrs. Little has always understood that she is the daughter of a white couple in Denver, who died when she was a baby, and she is seeking scientific proof that she is white and has only white blood in her veins. The divorce suit was filed after the, Mrs. Little had been married one year, Dr. Boas after looking at the newspaper pictures of Mrs. Little, said offhand that she was not the daughter of a full-blooded Negro. He made it clear that a woman such as was described in the newspaper clippings could not be the daughter of a full-blooded Negro, said he that men know comparatively well about that character thinks there are many characteristics that run through generations. That it is not possible to say positively that a person has no Negro blood in his or her veins as racial characteristics hidden in, one generation may appear in another.
Racial Characteristics.
Dr. Boas outlined the various methods by which an anthropologist would decide whether a person had Negro characteristics. He said: "Of course you know every race has certain characteristics; and in the event of a marriage of persons of different races one characteristic or the other predominates. The woman whom you mention has any of the characteristic of the Negro race it would be easy to find them. If she has Negro blood in her veins she may have them, though I have seen octoons that apparently had no characteristics of the Negro race, though I never made a thorough examination. " "One characteristic that is regarded as reliable is the hair. For instance, you can tell by a microscopic examination of a cross-section of a hair of a person's head to what race that person belongs. The cross section of a hair from a Chinese is round, of a white person from a Negro. It is like the outline of a beak. If a woman has the hair that we define as the characteristic of a Negro I would say that she has Negro blood in her veins. But, again, her hair might pass that test satisfactorily.
What Tests Have Shown.
"Next, we know that the eyes of a Negro have certain characteristics; likewise his nose, his lips, his jaw. His teeth are set in a certain way. Of course the pigmentation in the skin is important. Experience and teat have shown that a person of mixed blood has seen that he has characteristics of one race and other characteristics of another race. You can't, however, rely on one feature or one characteristic alone, because, as you know, you may find in different countries one feature or another that is described as the characteristic of another race and yet you would not have the reason question had the blood of his cousins of which the special feature was a characteristic.
"The characteristics of the Negro race, or any race, may run through many generations. There are others than those I have mentioned; and while of course it is easy, to decide that this woman has any of those characteristics the ladder does not on the other hand prove that she has no Negro blood in her veins. As a matter of fact we know comparatively little of heredity.
"It has been asserted that a chemical examination of the blood of a
person will show whether he or she has Negro ancestry, but I do not believe that it is a reliable test. I do not think that it has worked out accurately. I show little about the hereditary characteristics of the Negro, much less indeed than of other races. It seems to me that much good could be done for the Negro by making a thorough study of the race, with a view of obtaining more scientific data along this line. It has been said, for the unfavorable characteristics only the unfavorable characteristics Negro remain, but that has not been proved, scientifically, and I do not think it is a fact.
OKLAHOMA MINISTER
TELLS OF CONDITIONS
Much interest has been excited in Oklahoma and the condition of the Negroes of that state by the address of Dr. R. C. Ransom at Y. M. C. A. of New York, as published in THE AGE of December 10. The following article has been sent to THE AGE by Rev. Wm. Halwick Davis, pastor of the A. M. E. Church at Beggs; Okla., who has been a resident of Oklahoma for the past eight or nine years. Mr. Davis makes some strong statements in his article, notably that the ministry is largely filled with grafters, that the Negroes will not patronize Negro merchants, and that the school rooms are presided over by women teachers who come from the red light districts of St. Louis, Kansas City, and other of the large cities in that section. Methodist presiding elders are charged with farming out appointments to the highest bidders and Baptist ministers are accused of ordaining men to the ministry for the consideration of a yoke of oxen. The article is as follows:
THE NEGRO FARMER IN OKLA
HOMA.
Why not tell the truth about the condition of the majority of Negroes who are weights to the progressive and self-respecting, Negro?
There is no doing anything with the Negro farmers in Oklahoma. Generally, he is the Texas Negro, now and then a Mississippiian or Louisianaian and he would rather be cheated and awindled by the, poorest and weakest white man than to be dealt honestly with by one of his own color. There is no excuse for the average Oklahoma Negro farmer or "cropper" not being on a "fair-road to plenty and independence. He makes good money even in bad year plans. He is a lot of money in town. He makes money, he throws it away going to Texas to see "cuzzen" or buying expensive clothing and spreeing it out on "Jamaica Ginger." The average Negro won't plow in anything but tan shoes or patent leather.
Will Not Buy From Negro Merchants
In towns like Beggs, Tecumseh, Barshoro, Wewoka, Haskell, Chandler, Kingfisher and others that are centres, for Negro farmers the poorest and meanest white man is being made rich by the Negro; no matter how many Negro merchants are around or how they compete in selling prices, the Negro will center his trade with the white man.
The store account system is not in order, but the farm is loaned the farmer at 16 per cent, by banks, they taking mortgages on crops, horses, etc. Consequently the Negro farmer pays cash the year round for his groceries and other necessities and the white man catches that money; no Negro merchant can get it. The fool Negro never asks the price of anything. It "give me this", or that, at any price. He subscribes for every democratic paper in the county and State and tells you stoutly when asking him to buy a copy of Age. The age he wants is "nigger" teacher. You may preach, teach and lecture and persuade, but you can do nothing with him. This is the howling, class that is so grieved about the "grandfather's clause" and the "Jim Crow" law.
Churches Manned by Grafters.
The Negro churches are manned by grafters, irrespective of denomination. They are, in too many instances, rogues and thieves of the deepest die. The Negro preachers are "hog mad" over the dollar and have no acupunctes as to how to get it. True, there are some earnest and rigorous men trained hands at work trying to lift their people. What do you think of Baptist preachers ordaining another? For a yoke of oxen as pay? What do you think of presiding elders farming out appointments to the highest bidders? The red light districts of St. Louis, Kansas City and other large cities furnishes the greater or as a great number of school teachers. The powers of the church teach their students so long as they get the "rake off" out of each month's salary. Most of the learned (?) professors have to pull off their hats and scratch their heads to hold their jobs on faculties. Doctors, dentists, lawyers, editors, preachers and merchants have their wives teaching, while poor girls just out of school must go to the wash tubs, cook kitchens at small wages, or do worse. In addition it is the dollar, fine clothes and appearances that are the "clivilizing" forces at work with the Oklahoma Negro.
REPUBLICANS WANT TO REDISTRICT THE STATE
Former State Chairman Suffered by Democratic Gerrymandering—Redistricting now Would simply be to Correct Wrongs by other party...
Certain Republican leaders are-considering the advisability of redistricting the Congress districts in New York State to remedy what they consider injustices done when the Democrats carved out new districts in 1911, when who are interested particularly in the proposition is William Barnes, former chairman of the Republican State Committee. When Senator James J. Frawley's committee arranged the redistricting the year after the last Federal census, in 1910; he did his best to make the Republican county of Albany into a Democratic district. In order to accomplish this he threw eleven districts into the Republican county with Albany. The result was the election of a Democrat in 1912. But the unparalleled Republican sweep this year put a Republican in the district again.
Authorities are being consulted now by Senator Elon R. Brown and others, but so far as is known there is no law of any description that prevents this State from changing its Congress district. Although it is usually done only after Congress has apportioned more Representatives to the state that had before;
The Federal law provides that after every decennial census Congress shall reapportion the Representatives among the States. It tells each State how many members it should elect. Individual State to say how these go down tattles will be elected. For us, go in the State of Idaho more never 1, even any distracting for Representatives. go in the men from there are clee at large. When Congress, in its turn, elects representatives, she did not redistrict the State, but elected them at large. Ohio is still doing this with the additional member it got at the same time.
Political Justice Needed.
He has said that the public sentiment is restricting simply for partisan purposes. But where one party has used its control of the State government to frame up districts which are palpably unfair to its opponents, sentiment has indorsed the rectifying of these injustices by minorities of the other party as soon as they got into power.
This condition exists in this State today, according to those leaders who favor redistricting this year. Before the federal census in 1911, every had thirded its number of Congress. Because of its increase in population Congress awarded* to it six more, in 1911, the year following this action, the Legislature was controlled by the Democrats. A committee to redistrict the State was formed by Senator James J. Frawley, a typical Tammany man, as its chairman.
When it came to cutting up New York County, the committee was able to follow the general idea of making districts as symmetrical as possible and at the same time insure fairly safe Democratic districts. It did this, by slicing the island of Manhattan from east to west. That made the center of each district Republican, but the ends were Democratic. The island Up in the northern end of the island and in the Bronx, where the same political geography did not exist, the districts were made more irregular, and in Brooklyn and Queens there are some grotesquely shaped districts.
The leaders, who have been discussing the possibility of redistricting under Republican auspices, realize that there would be a reaction if they should Republican advantage, but they believe they would be justified in changing those districts which the Democrats framed up in a manner distinctly unfavorable to the Republicans.
A notable instance of public feeling using to evoke a manifest in justice in redistricting in a upholding a tification of this injustice by another redistricting a few years later occurred in Ohio some years ago.
Democratic Plot in Ohio.
In the spring of 1884 the McKinley Congress of Congress. He had been there for fourteen years, and had just reported the McKinley tariff bill, against which the Democrats were most bitter. Ohio was in the hands of the Democrats that year, and the Legislature redistricted the Congress districts in such a fashion that the six Democrats from Ohio in the 15th Congress, there were only seven Republicans and fourteen Democrats in the 52d Congress.
The action in the case of the McKinley district was particularly tragent and in his new district, although he what was meant to be a normal Democratic majority of 5,000 to some 300
This unjust treatment of McKinley made him the logical candidate for Governor in 1861. He was forced to turn, and all his lieutenants tried to get back in Congress, where most of his political work had been. The fact that McKinley had been redirected out of Congress was one of the strong campaign arguments, and he was elected Governor in 1862, two years later and served to January, 1896, the year he was elected President,

NEGRO REPUBLICANS
GET BLUMS IN OHIO
Special to The New York Age
Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 29.—The Republican caucus for the organization of the Ohio Senate and House of Representatives was held Monday in this city. As was predicted in the Age the eloquent Solomon Sloan would care about the way of positions. Many leaders were present, among them being Thomas W. Fleming, member of the Republican State Executive Committee, and Samuel E. Woods of Cleveland, Arthur J. Riggs of Springfield, E. B. Banks of Dayton, Newell of Mamaroneck City, Thomas E. Greene of Youngstown, Robert Goins of Bellefontaine, and many others.
The Republican senators held a secret caucus on Saturday and had failed to select a colored man for a clerkship. Upon questioning this the colored leaders immediately got busy. Thomas W. Fleming insisted upon being heard in behalf of his candidate for enrolling clerk. Senator Howard, the caucus selection for president pro tem of the Senate, insisted M. Fitzinger had been appointed in the senate chamber and made an impressive appeal to the senators in behalf of his candidate and placed before them the name of Attorney Chas, S. Sutton of Cleveland, O., for enrolling clerk. A. J. Biggs also spoke. These talks influenced the senators to break their slate and M. Sutton was selected. Charles Logan o Marlion, O., Frank Robinson of Chillicothe, O., and G. W. Davis of Tiffin, were selected. C. W. Davis of W. Reynolds of Columbus, O., was elected as engrossing, clerk, and Thaddeus Wheeler, of Dayton, Ohio, will be selected as inde xlerk.
Several other minor places will be given to colored men. Preparations are being made by the colored people of this city to take a prominent part in the election of Frank B. Willis on January 11, 1915. Many prominent colored people from different sections of the State will be here.
WHITE MEN KILL FOR
LOVE OF NEGRO WOMAN
Special to the luk 400 Ack
SENECA, S. C., Dec. 29—At Fairlay, S. C., twelve miles from here, Woodrow Campbell, a white man, infatuated with a young colored woman, quarrellled with Geoff Gibson, a Negro who kept company with the girl Campbell's love, Negro woman led to trouble, the Negroes siding with Gibson.
Campbell's friend formed a mob on Christmas night and took Tom Springer, Negro, across the Savannah river into Georgia, and gave him a terrible heating. While the mob was on the bridge young Gibson and his father, Green Gibson, drove up in a buggy and demanded that the mob clear the bridge so they could pass. One of the white men recognized Gibson, and he was pulled from the buggy by the mob. He resisted, however, and escaped, after wounding several of the mob. His father left the buggy and took refuge behind the bridge and defended himself finally clashed from his entrenchment and shot down. Then his gun was broken in half and used as a club to beat him to death.
Woodrow Campbell, the white man whose illicit love started the trouble, was shot in the chest and stabbed severely; W. C. McClure, magistrate, was shot in the face; Paul Marrott, another white man, was shot in the back, and is not expected to live; Logan Ramoy, who was with Campbell, was shot in the eye; and there are about a dozen other white men in the community who are suffering from wounds as a result of the gathering Negress of the community, who attacked the whites.
The press dispatches report that the county and State officials have things well in hand, but that no arrests have been made.

RACES MUST EAT IN
*BIRMINGHAM, Ahn.* Dec. 29.—Restaurants and, ally, counters which have bereftore catered to both white and Negro trade will be compelled by a law law, to either cater to one race solely, build partitions in the places of business, or go out of business entirely. Judge O. Lane, city commissioner in New York, announced that the owners of these places would be given a week or two in which to conform to the law. He thinks the law will be obeyed without resistance.

ONE OF THE MEN A SOLDIER
Commanding Officer at Fort and Detective Finds Jewelry Alleged Stolen in Hold, Up Hidden Away in Soldier's Locker at Fort McPherson.
Special to THE NEW YORK ACE
ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 29—Ordinarily the Atlanta daily newspapers are filled with items about Negro highwaymen and murderers, and whenever the police fail to capture culprits they usually, make the claim that a "Negro is wanted." It is a happening of the unusual, therefore, when the Atlanta Constitution, in its issue of December 20, ran two news stories: under scare headlines, showing that two robberies in which Negroes were alleged to be the culprits, were not only fakes, but that the white men making the accusations were themselves the guilty criminals.
The stories as printed by the Constitution are as follows:
Alleged Stolen Articles Are Found in Soldier's Locker at Fort McPherson, Detective Chewning Reports to Chief.
Private J. E. T. Bowers, one of the sixteen soldiers of the United States quartermaster's corps, stationed at Fort McPherson during the absence of the Seventeenth regiment, reported to the police early Saturday morning that he had been held up by two Negroes on South Forsyth street and bank and jewelry of a total value of $460. Chief Beavers, when the report of the robbery was brought to his attention Saturday morning, immediately instructed Detective Chewning to go to Fort McPherson and, with Major Gerard, the commanding officer in charge, make thorough investigation of the reported robbery. The commanding officer and Detective Chewning later, it is stated, found the cash and jewelry, claimed to have been stolen, concealed in the locker of Private Bowers, in his quarters. The officer severely reprimanded Private Bowers.
He told the police that he had been robbed of a diamond ring valued at $245, another ring valued at $45, and a gold watch and $45 in cash, and a silver ring valued at $125. Detective Chewning reported that all the jewelry was found in Private Bowers' locker.
After: Being Placed Under Arrest,
William West Confesses He Was
Not Hold Up by Negroes, Say Officers.
William West, a real estate operator, who recently announced through The Constitution that he had been held up by two Negroes, was placed under arrest last night and, according to the police, has confessed that his highway robbery story was untrue. He said he and the wife of the house by Detectives Cochran and Andrews and booked under the blanket charge of suspicion following a complaint made by J. A. Mosely. When questioned by Chief of Police J. L. Beavers and Chief of Detectives Lanford; West, the police say, made the following confession: I had been living too freely and needed money, therefore I forged the name B. and a real dispatcher for the Southern railroad. This note was for $31.
"To ease my conscience there is one thing more that I wish to tell. Last Saturday I called up The Constitution and stated that I had been held up and robbed the night before by two Negroes on Bedford place near Linden, claimed to have hauled over the money $60. To make it more plausible, I also stated that this had not been reported to the police, as I did not think the effort worth while. Ten minutes after-I had given the misstatement to the paper I would have done anything, to have recalled it. I merely wished to gain a little publicity. I added to the alleged forgery of the note West admits drawing several other worthless cheeks, it is stated.
TEXAS ORDER RAISES
$10,000 MONTHLY
Houston, Texas, Dec. 29.—More than $10,000 a month was received by the Mutual Aid Department of the United Brothers of Friendship of Texas, according to the last quarter, report submitted by F. W. Gross, secretary, in the meeting on December 21 in the U. B. F. building, Milam street. Total receipts for the last quarter amounted to $19,610. $21,000 were set aside to settle mortuary claims for the quarter and the secretary reported that $34,000 of the order's funds were invested in interest-bearing gold bonds, first mortgages and deposited in savings departments of national banks.

INSURANCE COMPANIES
The charge that various fire insurance companiesoperating in New York State are discriminating against property owned or occupied by Negro tenants' is made by William E. Giles, Jr., an insurance broker, with offices at 69 West 133rd street. Mr. Giles writes a letter to the Age in which he alleges that certain companies' refused to renew or transfer policies on properties. He declares also this prejudice and asserts as regards business in other sections.
Mr. Giles' jetter follows:
To the Editor of The Age:
Please take notice that I desire to call your attention to the fact that various fire insurance companies operate against the members of the colored race to such an extent that it is now very hard to get the insurance in this section of any other section inhabited by you.
For illustration, I offer in evidence, the case with several companies who refused to accept renewal on any of this business or transfer same after Fifth Avenue and Fifth avenue before last, and also the fire which occurred in 134th street between Fifth and Lenox avenues, on the south side, last winter, in which containing many families were consumed.
While the law does not permit any company to discriminate between white persons and persons of African descent in the same jurisdiction by returning binders or applications to brokers who write this business, marked thus, "Dear Sir: Referring to your application of ..... on property located at ..... and advise you that the risk is declined."
No longer than last week, I received a binder from one company which was signed, same indicating the fact that I have a subject to the conditions of the said broker, and in the next day or so, they forwarded me a memorandum stating that "if I desired policies of this class my clients have to collend from my clients in advance the premiums and bring it to them." I call this to your attention because I believe the power of the press is a right that you will assist in collend from the rights of a defenseless class of people who are the victims of race prejudice, due to no fault of their own, and hope that you will assist in collend from the proper authorities. I find that the prejudice does not exist in other sections, as I have been a broker for a number of years, holding first-class clients. I have been a broker for this State and representing many clients in all sections of the city (wealth and influence, and have no trouble whatsoever in placing their clients). VWB MLS 1155
GRACE DOUGE FRIEND

STIR IN SCHOOLS OF WASHINGTON
Twelve out of Eighteen Parents Sign Charges against Teacher and Bruce Held Them Three Months without Action
RUMORED CHANGES TO COME
A Number of Combinations Are Being Formed in the Minds of the Slaterkers of Washington, some of which Have Strength and May Be Adopted.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 30—it is expected that within a very short time Superintendent Thurston of the Washington public schools will file his report with the Board of Education, with recommendations, in the matter of the charges made against the administration of the kindergarten department of the Miner Normal School by the parents of twelve of the eighteen girls who were members of the last graduating class, the said charges declaring that the kindergarten graduates were not given the rights that they did not receive instruction in all the branches laid down in the curriculum.
Four sets of charges were formally filed with the school authorities by the parents of girls in the class, some of the signers being L. M. Hershaw, Whitney Gunn, Caitell and C. G. Harris. The gist of the charges were that, first, all the subjects in the curriculum were not familiar. History of education and principles of education belonged to Rachel Kearns, Rachel Kearns and the conditions; third, it was asserted that observation of the student teachers in practice work by the kindergarten teacher was insufficient, her visits to the classes taught by students being very infrequent; fourth, it was declared that the teacher was not familiar with the circumstances and lacking in punctuality in attending to her duties.
The Hershaw Marking
In addition to these charges, it was specifically set forth by L. M. Hershaw, father of Miss Fay Hershaw, 2215 Thirteenth street, northwest, that the final marking given to his daughter Fay was wrong, basing his charge on the fact that he managed the reports received by him from the teacher as to his daughter's standing during each semester of two years' course were 54 points higher than that given by the same teacher in the final markings.
This charge was filed with Assistant Superintendent Bruce, who promised the aggrieved parents that immediate action was being taken against him and handed Mr. Bruce in Jung, but no action had been taken up to September. The assistant superintendent then wrote Mr. Hershaw, Mr. McKinlay and others, that his report on the matter had been turned over to Superintendent Thurston. After another period of inaction, covering to Thurston and asked for a report to the delay in his action. The letters from Bruce to various ones were shown, in which they were told that the report was with Thurston, but the superintendent declaimed that if was some days after the date of Bruce's letter to the report reached him. He also said that the report could shape he could not use it, but would have to go over the matter from the beginning.
Thurston Investigates.
Accordingly during the first week in December he summoned the eighteen girls, members of the class, to his office, giving two days to their examination. Following them he called in all the teachers of the NORMAL School, and finished with Assistant Superintendent William H. Given no idea of the time when his report will be made public, but it is rumored, with some reason, that he is ready to submit it whenever the president of the Board of Education, Henry P. Blair, wants it. The same rumor gives it that his report will call for the removal of the marks given to certain girls and a recasting of the marks of the entire class. Four of the girls of the class have been given temporary appointments in the system to fill existing vacancies, but all permanent appointments must wait until the uniter is settled by the superintendent. A eleventh by the markings given, but it is contended that the markings to which she is entitled would rank her seventh.
Miss Charlotte E. H. Hunter, the kindergarten teacher, has declared in reply to the charges and criticism, that the markings and subjects of education and principles of education were not given specifically, they were covered, generally in the curriculum, and he signed to Professor Jennifer, but he testified that the girls of the kindergarten

A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN.
We are pleased to publish the following letter:
To the Editor of True Ace:
For some days I have been intending to express to you my appreciation of your serious and worthy treatment of what you have been pleased to call the WILSON-TROTTEN incident. No shall permit my intention to fall because of your lack of reference to my willingness to accept engagements to lecture on the episode, public lecturing being an honorable business and compensation being regularly accepted by the most eminent public men, both white and colored, which fact makes it a duty for me, inasmuch as my publication work has made me a very poor man and the officers of the Equal Rights League having urged this course and the D. of C. Branch being even now engaged in soliciting dates.
"On the contrary, the forecasts made to you in our first letter have materialized to the extent of being an unusual public calamity. We are aware that the language of this letter is strong and direct. For this we have no apology. We mean that it shall be so.
"Situations like the one before us demand heroic treatment, and heroic treatment cannot be applied through the weakness of circumlocution. We say, to you again that we write you in this way because the tariff law of the Democratic party now in power has brought this country face to face with business calamity."
Your paper has risen to the occasion, and though we have often been in conflict, it has treated the situation in a different way. We have a manner indicating that you appreciate the gravity of the issue for all of us. This was shown even in your last editorial columns, and I want you and your readers to know that we appreciate it and that we should show our respect against the Wilson policy toward colored Americans.
THE Age wishes to add that, however much it may differ as to the policies and methods of other workers in our great common cause, it aims always to be big enough and broad enough to lose sight of all such minor differences when any vital interest of the race is at stake.
"The Administration's foreign policy has been imbecile. England.stopped American cotton shipments until the English spinners bought their supply at 6½ cents a pound and stored it in Texas and other Southern warehouses. Our Government weakly-submitted to England's dictation, playing into the hands of the English spinners and betraying American cotton growers as completely as if this country were an Enlish vassal State.
We wish for Editor Trottier more power in his fight against segregation and all other wrongs; nevertheless, we still question the propriety and wisdom of making the White House episode the main subject of a paid lecture.
THE NEW GOVERNOR.
To-morrow CHARLES A. WHITMAN
becomes Governor of the State of New York. We wish and predict for Governor WHITMAN what we feel sure he will have, a solidly successful administration. He has already given earnest of the sort of administration he intends to carry out.
"The Administration's tariff law was pledged to lower the cost of living and has had the contrary effect:
We know, judging by his ability and experience; that Mr. WHITMAN will make a good Governor for New York in general; we are interested in knowing what sort of a Governor he will make for us in particular. We regret to say that a good administration in general does not, yet, always mean in this county, a good administration for the Negro in particular.
From Mr. WHITMAN's past acts in every official capacity, we believe that as Governor he will stand firm for a square deal to the colored citizens of New York on every question.
In wishing you a Happy New Year, Governor WHITMAN, we say that the eyes and hopes of the Negro citizens of New York are upon you.
Secretary McAloo0 has intentions of deposing the bulk of the Government funds in the reserve banks at Atlanta, Richmond and Dallas, and certain Southern Congressman are intent ipoff having the Treasury advance $100,000,000 for the relief of the Southern cotton growers. There is no doubt about the South's being in the saddle, nor is there any doubt that the patriotic statement of that section will ride, the horse to death, that is, if the rest of the country less them.
The Bass murder is proving 'to be a buffling case' for the police.
A nationalistic sentiment, by any length of time in the countries of Germany or South America, that there exists among the natives there should dislike for the United States, which upon the slightest sort of provocation is likely to flare up and show itself. These Americans also know that, despite official protestations of friendship, the United States stands lower in the affections of the Latin-American people than either Spain or France; Italy—Germany or England.
This feeling of special dislike is curious when it is considered that the attitude of the United States has always been that of friend and protector; and that the independence, the very entity of these southern republics, has depended upon that attitude. On the other hand, various ones of these same republics have been threatened and coerced and even have had their ports bombarded by Europan powers.
This feeling of hostility and seeming ingratitude has puzzled a great many Americans, especially American officials; and various explanations of the cause have been made. One of these explanations is that the people of Latin-America have grown to fear that the United States has designs upon the integrity of their several governments; but, the past and present policy of the United States does not warrant any such fear. Another is that the bond of language, religion and mode of thought naturally draws the Latin-American closer so the Latines of Europe; but this bond would not account for the lack of an under current of feeling against Germany and much less, against England. A third explanation offered is that the American who goes into Latin-American countries does not take the proper steps to cultivate friendly feelings, that he holds himself aloof, that he reveals his prejudice, and so engenders dislike. It is true that the Frenchman, Spaniard, Italian and German who lives in Central or South America and does business there often intermarries with the natives and makes himself, socially, one of them; but the Englishman generally holds himself more aloof than the American, yet there does not exist against Englishmen the feeling that exists against Americans.
This third explanation comes closer than the other two, still it misses the mark. No doubt, there have been Americans who were narrow and prejudiced and ill-bred enough to show it; but several hundred American residents, business men or salesmen, scattered through a foreign country and devoid of any official authority, attempting to assume airs of superiority over the natives would have very little effect, indeed, they might appear ridiculous. Moreover, the writer during his eight years of experience has observed that the great majority of Americans who have business dealings in Latin-American countries are able to overcome, or, at least, hold in abeyance any prejudices they might have.
The deep-seated cause of this feeling of hostility does not spring from the actions of Americans who go to Latin-America but, from the treatment accorded to Latin-Americans who come to the United States. In truth, the whole question is involved in our own national and local Negro problem.
The Latin-American people, by an overwhelming majority, are not white people, and decidedly not in the American sense, and the number of them, people of wealth and refinement, who have come to the United States and been treated like "niggers" will never be known. The same people have gone to Europe—for the Latin American of means makes travel his chief diversion—and noted the difference. These travelers have returned home, and facts concerning the treatment accorded in the United States to a dark skin have been disseminated with something of masonic secrecy. This secrecy is what has made the whole question puzzling. The Negro in the United States loudly sets forth his wrongs, but whatever the Latin-American has suffered at the hands of Americans on account of race discrimination he neither discusses or even openly admits. Of course, the position of the two groups is far from being identical. For Latin-American; citizens of independent and sovereign nations, to complain of race discrimination against them in a foreign country, would be to attach to themselves, in some degree, the stigma of inferiority. This is what the Japanese have been forced to do officially. The Latin-Americans understand this and adopt other measures.
In only one way do they take any cognizance of this question and that is through indirect reference to it in the Latin-American press. Any observation of the newspapers of the capitals of Central and South America will show that these publications make a point of giving space and prominence to lynchings and other outrages perpetrated against Negroes in the United States, even though these outrages may be committed in most obscure communities; and this is often done to the exclusion of other and more important world news. It appears that they call the American newspapers for these items; the writer has seen as many as three in a single issue of a Latin-American paper. No comment on them is ever published, but they always carry a silent warning.
The Latin-American of means and refinement is an exceptionally proud and sensitive man, and prizes his individual honor and self-respect above any general conception of patriotism. In a choice between the loss of national sovereignty and the loss of his individual honor, self-respect and his status as a man he would undoubtedly accept the former; and any affront to the latter is something he will not forgive.
Ugarte, the well known Argentine patriot and agitator, has traveled through Mexico, Central and South America, laboring to awaken the people of those countries to the danger of imperial aggression on the part of the United States, but that danger does not appear to be sufficiently imminent to constitute the chief motive for this propaganda. Senor Ugarte, whom the writer had the privilege of talking with about a year and a half ago, is himself a man of brown skin, and it is not unreasonable to judge that the fear that lies closest to his heart is not that southern republics will lose, their independence to the United States, but that they will fall under the bane of American prejudice, a process which he has, without doubt, observed going on slowly but surely in Cuba, Porto Rico and Panama.
It is idle for the United States to dream that, either through the Monroe Doctrine—which is sometimes spoken of more disparagingly in South America than in Europe—or through diplomacy, or its Bureau of American Republics, or efforts for closer trade relations, it will win the absolute confidence and good will of the Latin-American people so long as there is in this country a Negro problem.
Through the news despatches on Sunday a bunch of brickbats was thrown at the Wilson Administration that would make a fort being stormed by the German "Busy Berthas" a comfortable retreat for that peaceable and peace loving aggregation.
There was the news that 10,000 natives had planned a revolt in the Philippines, and that the uprising was nipped by the arrest of some twenty leaders. This is not at all cheering after the steady efforts of the Administration for the past two years to reverse all the policies established by the Republicans since the acquisition of the Islands.
From Mexico came the news that General Palafoy issued a public statement at Mexico City stating that John R. Silliman had accepted a bribe of $250,000 for effecting the release of General Iurbide, Governor of the Federal District of Mexico under Huerta.
Mr. Silliman—what boots it for one to reform the spelling of his name?—was one of President Wilson's personal representatives in Mexico, and greatly aided the Administration in performing its series of dumbfounding hunders in that country.
In Washington, Mr. Mann, leader of the Republican minority and a man who always knows what he is talking about, states that when the Democrats announced to the country that they had made a substantial cut in the estimates of the money needs of the Government for the new fiscal year they missed telling the truth by more than $44,000,000. He submits figures to support the prediction that Congress will have to be called in special session next summer to provide the wherewithal to keep the wheels of the Government in motion.
This will, of course, mean another "war" tax. It is easy to believe the further report of this despatch which says that conservative Democratic leaders are worried over the revenue problem confronting them.
Another despatch from Washington reports the protest of Pennsylvania manufacturers against the new tariff in an open letter to the President. In their letter of protest the manufacturers, among other things, say:
"We now address to you this second letter for the one specific purpose of informing you that the good times so happily predicted at Washington have not arrived.
We are watchfully waiting to see if this letter will cause the President to declare himself insulted and give an excuse to dismiss the whole question raised.
The manufacturers made a final appeal in these words. "Confess failure and save your country."
And now comes "the unkindest cut of all." Out of Texas, that hot-bed of militant Democracy, comes a howl; and from no less person than that eminent performer of salamandarin feats, Governor Colquitt.
The Governor issued a signed statement of which the following are some of the striking extracts:
"The Wilson-Bryan management of the Mexican affair has been an egregious failure. They have stood by encouraging one gang of bandits after another, while people were being butchered all over Mexico and while the vast American interests in that country were being confiscated and shot to pieces, and to-day the Mexican chaos is worse than at any time since Madero was assassinated. Our Government has kept England and Germany from restoring order in Mexico and has itself done nothing but contribute to the disorder and lawlessness by their watching and waiting policy.
"The Administration's anti-trust laws are barefaced fakes so far as protecting the people from trust oppression is concerned. I am fully convinced that the national election of 1916 will end the Democratic regime.
"The President stood in the road and condemned the South, which made him, to heavier loss and more widespread misery than it has known in three generations."
That last statement about standing in the road and condemning the South, coming from the most southern point of the South, is the hardest brickbat in the bunch. After having offered up upon the altar of Southern prejudice the Negro as a burnt sacrifice, this must sound to the President like base ingratitude.
So many brickbats thrown in a single day must have given the Administration the headache.
WHY-LATIN-AMERICA DISLIKES THE UNITED STATES. For the past three or four months a great deal has been written and said about closer trade relations between the United States and Latin America. The duty and opportunity of the United States to secure a larger share of the trade of the republics to the south of us has been pointed out in the press, and has been discussed by chambers of commerce, boards of trade and various manufacturing and business organizations, but, as yet, no marked results have been noticed.
New Year's Day, meant to the American, Negro more than it means to any other body of people in the world. It not only marks the birth of the year, but it marks the American Negro's birth into a new life, into a full-fledged human being.
It is a day which should be religiously and thoughtfully observed. It is probable that all of the churches will hold appropriate exercises. Exercises are also to be held at the Y: M. C. A. in 53d street on Sunday afternoon. These exercises should be attended and new inspiration should be gathered from them.
There are economical reasons—which we shall not here discuss—why the United States does not enjoy a greater proportion of this trade, but there, is another reason that lies deeper and is, perhaps, fully as important. This reason accounts for a great many things that are not understood in this country.
Several years ago the writer was in one of the Latin-American capitals while the first blow struck against Spain for national independence was being celebrated. After a torchlight procession speeches were made in the plaza to an immense crowd. There were the usual rhetorical allusions to the dead heroes and their struggle for freedom; but the crowd was not stirred to its greatest burst of approval until one of the speakers made some reinmarks antagonistic to the United States.
This incident occurred in a country which did not, then have and never had any serious national grievance against this country. I was not very much surprised, for it is common knowledge among
Yes, sweet remembrance the postcards fetch

JACKSONVILLE. FLA
Jacksonville, Fl.—A permanent organization is being perfected for the purpose of perfecting the Negroes in this city, this time by whites to secure the release of a white person under indictment for the murder of an inoffensive Negro, but to prevent the Negroes from being mounded for trial on February 17, 1915. The Phenozer church, the Rev. M. B. Muson, pastor, has just installed $1,000, and which is said to be one of the finest, and most up to date in the city.

HITS TO YOUNG COLORED ARTISTS
Demosthenes, is quoted as saying, "If you wish to thrill others, first you must vibrate your own livers." What did he mean? Just what he said.
Down in our bodies each of us has an electric dynamo which sends out or may be taught to send out currents or waves, of electricity—thoughts and personal magnetism. It is no more wonderful nowadays to send thoughts miles away than for Marcelon to send messages through the air. People are learning about our bodies. Our bodies have emotional souls in them. The mind and body are co-ordinate. Plata believed that the diaphrigm was the seat of the soul. Thoughts are really things.
How do we charge our dynamos? With fresh air through deep breathing. The Negro does not like fresh air much unless he is outside in it. Some of them like hot, smelly bad air, especially during revivals; they believe there is more spirit in it. This is a matter of opinion, however. But the Negro learns fast and some are learning how to fresh air. They go intently to let the other man gobble up all the fresh air and do the big things. They are doing little gobbling also, and are learning the secrets of power.
The' Human Electric Dynamo
The electric dynamo within us is the diaphragm, the great dome shaped breathing 'muscle' which separates the lung region from the abdominal region. In repose the dome covers the abdominal region, but when we take a breath it gives increased space in the lung region, at the same time massaging the abdominal organs. As the air rushes in the space the diaphragm has vacated, the rite expand and the chest lifts, thus giving exercise to the lung cells and all organs in the lung region. It is said that Plath declared that the diaphragm, because personal magnetism and health are generated by its action, in the rear of the stomach is the solar plexus, called the "Sun nerve ganglia," and the second brain. It stores energy and power and calls forth energy and power when needed. They are many colored people who already know about the wonderful powers of the solar plexus, that deep breathing increases its influence and that fresh air is its stimulant. Any colored pugilist knows the value of his solar plexus. He may have a forehead indicating how he knows all about his second brain. When he trains for a fight he punches a bag. Why? To breathe fresh air, because fresh air has something in it which will make him strong and will help him win the fight. Then he trains for a fight he punches a bag. Why? To breathe fresh air, because fresh air carries some wonderful stimulant, which helps all day long, breathing fresh air.
He denies himself food. I liquors, smoking, everything that he may have storeroom for that precious something that fresh air has brought to him. When the day of the battle arrives, he says, "Dear old solar plexus. I have been as faithful and true to you as I know how to be; help me win this fight." The first round is fought, perhaps the second, and then the psychological moment arrives and he sends the messenger into my muscles, my nerves, my bones, and the solar plexus does its duty and helps him win the fight. What bad won? Bone and muscle? Oh, no, it is that precious unseen something which he has taken from fresh air and stored in his personal electricity, which has won the fight. He has been able to send more than his opponent can resist.
Advantage of Breath Control.
I know a colored man who makes a fine living as a masseur. He says he can command a better price than most masseurs because he can control his breath longer. His method is to breathe breath and breathe, wringing and kneading and passing his own vitality into the patient, without relaxing. When he has finished the patient feels so benefited that he does not mind paying a high fee. Once, after a demonstration, a promoter said, "This has been worth $10 to me" (but he failed to give it). "I have felt the power of my diaphragm and have used it successfully, but I did not know that others knew about it." How do you use yours? I asked, thinking that I might learn something.
"Oh, when I go on the stump, I tell the folks something funny to get them to laugh, so their diaphragms will respond and grow gymnastics. Then I hold my diaphragm taut and I tell the people to pretend to tell the people to keep still that I may keep them under control. The more power I happen to have over my diaphragm at the time the quicker the people respond." I laughed heartily, and replied, "Oh, I believe heartily. That is the way they tame wild animals, too." The keeper does not only give a command, but he also puts his own vitality and personality into the command, and it is carried by his eye and voice. In the same way, a nurse in a lunatic asylum does not only give a command to the command command possessed influence and it is that which the lunatic obeys.
Through a pupil of mine, who was to be, a traveling salesman, I once visited a class in salesmanship, and to my surprise those men of every size and age were taking the same old bastard breathing exercises that they so long were telling the amateur story. "Thoughts are things and you may send them any distance. It depends upon your own will power."
Salesmen Taught How to Breathe.
He had the men take the triple brace, with the mind focused, and the breath beginning at the abdomen, then diaphragm and then filling the chest to the shoulders, while he counted the three, and then counted the three, and the students "bared" their bodies with their own brace (exhilation) as he counted six men. It told them previously, "When you are charged," focus your intended and "will" that they shall burst. You will be charged, and you will have touched your man! How many breaths and endled—they
wanted a living! Every now and then one would "flop," because their mind message had "touched." I do not know that this is true. I only know what they told me. Then the teacher said, "Meh, don't worry," the smoker telling stories; breathe fresh air; breathe until your body is so full of your personal electricity that you can hardly hold it, and when you walk up to your man, give some of it in the hand shake and say to yourself you are going to buy my goods. But someone on the weather and said to yourself, "You are going to buy my goods." As you offer him a cigar, will that he is to buy your goods and nine times out of ten he will buy your goods. I do believe this part to be true, for I have had people "couped" me to buy things I did not want, and others have had the same experience.
When the diaphragm drapes flattens there is a tight sensation just under the chest bone where the ribs are. I call this vital spot or sensation the electric button, and sometimes I call the getter. I getter have heard others call it the emotional spot, for it is where we laugh, cry, sob, grunt or sigh.
How Preachers Work the "Spot:"
There are some colored people who are always up-to-date along new lines. However, our colored ministers have long been using this vital spot. I do not know that any call if the electric button of the money getter, but they seem to know that "when they" work this spot, the money comes to them. Our ministers classes of ministers—the old school minister and the new school. When the old school minister desires 'to "tour or reach" his people, what does he do? Why, he singsongs his words right at this vital spot until some sympathetic person vibrates in sympathy. This person will send out vibrations also. Here, there, every direction, that old school minister sends out his personality, "singsonging" (and does thought) until the express and chills go up their backbones, they get happy, get to shouting and give him all their money.
You well know that this is the truth. The new school minister has a harder task in "touching" the people, as shouting is growing in distainer for many reasons, particularly because the shouters do not always contribute in proportion to their shouting. If they do not shout, it will be difficult to permit a minister to "moan" as his "singsong" is called. How do these young and new school ministers pay off their debts? They go to certain theological schools where they are taught "vowel" vibration. Their teachers show them the trick of compelling each vowel in each syllable to touch this spot before the vowel in the next vowel. Lord is in His Holy Temple; he pulls on each vowel until each gets a charge from his vitality and the voice (toner carries his personality to the listeners. As he persists in "touching the electric button," so do his hearers receive the vibrations. At last they are so charged with the messages of personal magnetism that, they, too, feel thrills and chills and I give them sympathy. They love their诗 and give him the money to "pay off the mortgage."
If the minister, the orator, the masseur, even the pugilist, uses this vital spot, what about the singer As I travel from place to place, I am very often asked to hear young girls sing in the street, or in a street strong, but are sweet. I know exactly how the girl sings, but I smile an assent.
The Young Girl Singer.
Sometimes the girl is as tall, with shoulders as broad as mine, but her waist as large as mine? Oh, no. She has a nice, small waist. And then she sings in her sweet little pipe tones. Sometimes the cords she sings make high notes her eyeballs almost come out of their sockets. The tiny little throat muscles are trying to do herclean work, her voice gets wobbly and harse, and when she finishes she is tired and glad it is over (and so is her audience). When she sings in her muscle which a kind Nature has provided all squeezed up. She has squeezed up her "money getter." Who ever heard of a pugilist going into the arena with his vitals squeezed and pinched? Who ever heard of a minister with a thousand-dollar bill on hand into anything with which this money getter" squeezed up. Never.
Yet these dear young folks have dreams that they will be "great" singers with little sweet voices. Strength is the thing that counts now-adays. They may sing in several nearby towns and their home friends may say, "I do not care what it is," but "I care it is so sweet," but no "sweet" singer can sing as a singer must do night after night under all conditions, sing with headache, sing with toothache, sing with heartache, sing when one is so dred that she can hardly stand and sing with such that, in the end, she will come—sing and make good! Why, they could not do this to save their lives unless they sing where they are strong. A sinner must own a strong body-developed through deep breathing and diaphragmatic action. Home folks do wrong when they do not courage the "sweet singer" to develop bodies and thus reinforce their tools.
"No" in the psychic vowel—it is the deep vowel and it thrills or exults the vital spot—the electric button. On" also "irrises" when the contour of the electrical current between the two, of which goes out in the voice. One can feel the "pulling," the tension of this electrical current and a "yawning" sensation. One praises saying everything to it without disturbing this "oo-yawn sensation."
The Making of a Singer
When young women come to me for voice culture I ask them why they are studying and receive many reasons. Several have said something like this: "I work very hard, my back is weak, and I thought if I could sing for a living that it would be easier, of the hard that it was, but not that. I try not to disconfirm any more than I can help it." "How much schooling you have had."
"How much schooling have you had?"
I ask.
"Well, down in my county we only
et
Yes, I know. - How much schooling
did you receive?"
"Well, I was the oldest of a large
Yes, I know. Now tell me what

grade you were, in when you left school! At last I worm it out of them and they confess to the fifth grade.
I aim to show my surprise and say: "Thank you, but I can never make you a great singer without education. Now-a-days one must have an education for everything, even digging a ditch. If a ditch digger can dig no faster or better, at least he will think to think about while he is digging. He will soon so hard. To interpret the great song singer needs imagination and ideality and discrimination, as well as other mental equipment, and these only what to do one's education. I tell you what to do to right school, and you may become a great a singer as you will to become.
This is generally the conversation: "I can only take you a certain distance in the work. Stand over there. Arms out. Wave them and toss yourself. Are you not laced?" "Oh, not. Your waist seems-greath small for the your shoulders." "Your shoulders are just naturally tall." "That is what all women say. In two weeks I want your waist measure ingressal, or inches. You can't be a singer and have a little waist at the same time. Place the tips of the fingers of both hands at the electric spot. Now we will have some deep breathing." "Have ten breathing exercises with a big open mouth, then ten with an "oo shrap mouth," and then ten contractions of the diaphragm, demanding the "position of surprise" for right conditions.
The pipil feels tired at the "electric button," where the arms join the shoulder blades and across the back, showing that muscles have been exerted. The muscles begin to get warm and to perspire within the activity of blood circulation. As the body fills with air certain of the vital spots ache. When at the last the mental thought is directed to "curve the smush of the back, while opening the mouth, most students get a crumple which frightens. The poor muscles have never had a chance.
The "oo" tone is sustained on various pitches. The awful pitches, a.e. l.o. n, are chanted on various pitches, while expressing the "oo" condition inside the mouth and body. (A suppressed yawn.)
Words of two syllables, three syllables, four syllables, etc., up to eight syllables are chanted in the above manner. Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, tl, do. They find all of this easy, although at first they imagine it unnecessary. You must hold the the words of a song while holding the "touch" definition (suppressed yawn) as to sing do, re, me, etc. Various arrogues are tried to see if the "touch" at the electric is sustained. Now, then, let me hear you sing a song. Often they bring some cheap popular song which I scorn. Do you know "Suwanne River"" Good. Now first recite the words. You cannot reiterate them. You cannot I see unless you know I could. I thought that siring was telling a story. Never mind, let me hear you sing the "Suwanne River."
I find that most shur up and down and sacrifice the sense or story for the melody, and that they will breathe anywhere and in the middle of a word. A singer must sing exactly as she reads. Suppose I recite the song as you have sung it. I then recite the song with Hervé pimpinand. They have sung it, and repeat, telling the story as an elecutionist would recite it, and then sing it with the proper pronunciation.
The reason that people shur is because they do not know where to hold the tone, but the new school minister holds each vowel at the electric button and a singer must do the something.
The young singer will say, "I never knew voice culture was like that." Well, it is. It is physical culture.
NEGRO CONFERENCES TO BE HELD AT TUSKEGEE

SPECIALTY THE NEW YORK CITY
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Dec.
29. The annual Tuskegee Negro Conference will be held at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Wednesday, January 20, 1915. In addition to the meeting in the Institute Chapel an Agricultural Parade, to start from Millbank Agricultural Building at ten o'clock, will feature possibilities of agriculture as carried on by the Tuskegee Institute, and the Farm Demonstration work of the National Government. A series of contrasts will indicate the agriculture of the past with the present. A beginning in this direction was made last year but the parade for 1915 promises to be more thoroughly instructive and will include many features not included in last year's parade.
The conference program has been arranged with special reference to assisting the Negro farmers to get in a position so that they can best cooperate with the agencies which are working to improve farming and financial conditions in the South.
A number of special invitations have been extended important citizens of the South, white and colored, to be present and speak at the Workers' Day Conference,—among others, Mr. J. T. Hollerman, of Atlanta, on the subject, "Cotton Raising and the Present Economic Situation." It is also proposed to invite a successful colored cotton farmer to tell what he is planning to do with respect to cotton during the coming year.
A representative of the financial interests of the South will be invited to address the Conference on, "The Financial Situation from the Standpoint of Credit."
A series of charts contrasting cotton and other crops in the South will be put on exhibition during both the Annual Farmers' Conference and the Workers' Conference.

Since Christmas large holiday audi-
ences have been in order a€almost every
performance; and this unusual air of
activity has been most pleasing to-the
Lafayette Theatre management. “The
objective point of most ainusement lov-
.ers during the past week has been the
Eafayctte, where at several of the even-
ing performances standing room was
the only accommodation available.
* The Dill the first half of the week was
perhaps the most varied ever presented
by Messrs. Morganstern, & Walton.
There were the Eight Black Dots, who
open and close strongly. The Eight
Black Dots have an act with plenty of
action, some.good singing and dancing,
and it is well costumed. Gilpin & Wood
have a sketch which is somewhat out 1
the ordinary for a colored team, and
wheir skit was the laughing hit of the
bill. The histrionic ability of Charl
Gilpin is well known to Harlem play:
goers. :
Young George Dixon gave an exhibi
tion of ‘what he knows about punching
the bag, shadow boxing; etc, and th
Bennett Sisters sang and gave an evi
dence of tidir prowess in ventriloquism.
The biggest hit on the bill was pre-
sented by the Japanese Dolls, the aerial
stunts of the two female members being
“of a sensational order. Maginnis & Co.
also entertiined in a novel musical act.
Oh New Year's Day holiday: prices
will prevail and four shows will -be
given.
MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT.
A program diversified in its make-u
but of great interest in jts characteristics
was renilered at the Music School Set
tlement last Sunday afternoon, A de-
lightful feature of the evening was the
work of Mrs. Nellie Ford-reoks 01
Brooklyn, who sang three songs in tin:
ished style. ‘
. *May Mukle, who has the reputation
of being the greatest. woman ‘celloist in
the world, played a Grieg sonata, and in
responding to encgres gave several other
numbers. George Harris, a- concert
tenor, whose voice is of surpassing pur-
ity and tone, sang two of Coleridge:
Taylor's compositions, “The Corn Song”
and “Onaway, Awake," from Hiawatha,
He also sang “Moon of, My Deliglit”
from the Persian Garden. cycle. ,,
Tuesday night was given over to the
“kiddies. A large audience of parents
and friends witnessed the efforts of
thirty;five or more children who avere
trained and directed by Mrs, Dora Col
Norman, and who presented a Christmas
exercise in the form of a cantata, which
was a presentation of ‘the way Christmas
is celebrated by children of the various
countries of the world, Jt was unique
and cleverly .and capably presented,
Special features of the exercises were
the singing of Jittle Bessie Allison and
Mercer Cuok, and the dancing hy little

|, Phe colored liquor dealers of_ greater
New York held a meeting, Tuesday
evening in the rooms of the National
League on Urban-Conditions and formed
themselves into an association for mut=
ual protection and betterment of their
places. A scale of wages for employees
was agreed upon, deportment of patrons
and the quahty of entertainment were
discussed and rigid rules for improve-
ment were adopted.
The members of the association are
determined to get a larger support from
the Harlem public and plans are under
way to show members of the race why
[Negroes engaged in business in greater
New York are entitled to a larger: pa-
tronage thatl is now given. The liquor
dealers contend that'the goods they keep
and the’prices charged are reasonable
and the services given many times. su-
perior to that given by others. They
cited many places in Harlem where: Ne-
Rroes were not wanted yet continued
to go. If many now tied to the white
places would patronize the colored ones
many of the things they: say could be
casily eliminated. *
The colored: men give employment
through and through to the members
of their own race, The same is truc
of the other business places controlled
by Negroes. The business places con-
trolled by ‘the white people are all
manned by their own people. It is
charged that 95 per cent. of the Negroes
patronize and enrich the business piaces
Gf the opposite race.
