The New York Age IMMIGRATION BILL OUTRAGE Wave of Protest from AM Sections against Passage of Vicious Act AIMED AT AFRICAN RACE Senator Reed of Missouri Offers Amendment Which Would Ex- clude from the United States in Future All "Black People" Men of All 'Nations Express Themselves in Strong Language against the BILL-Baltimoreans Hold Meeting and Send Committee to Washington to Protest On Thursday, December 31, the Senate of the United States voted to include in the Immigration bill an amendment offered by Senator Reed of Missouri excluding all members of the "black or African race." Senator Reed first offered an amendment excluding, from future immigration all persons not of the Caucasian race. That was rejected by the Senate, because of a fear that it would affect treaty relations. Mr. Reed also proposed an amendment excluding Turks and East Indians, which was rejected. Four Republicans and one Progressive voted for the amendment to exclude Negroes from the United States in future, while seven Democrats, nearly all from States outside the South, voted against it. The four Republicans and one Progressive are: SENATOR BORAH of Idaho. SENATOR STERNING of North Dakota. SENATOR SUTHERLAND of Utah. SENATOR WORKS of California. SENATOR POINDEXTER of Washington. The seven Democrats who voted against it are: SENATOR HUGHES of New Jersey. SENATOR LANE of Oregon. SENATOR LEWIS of Illinois. SENATOR ROBINSON of Arkansas. SENATOR SHAFROTH of Colorado. SENATOR THOMAS of Colorado. The vote on adding Reed's amendment to the Immigration bill was 29 to 25. It is claimed that the Reed amendment was offered with a view to alienating Republican support of the Immigration bill certain clauses of which Mr. Reed, whispering in his ear, are fighting. The supporters of the bill declare that if President Wilson vetoes the act, which he is expected to do, it will be passed over his veto. The bill goes to conferences of the House and Senate for final consideration before going to the President. The act is being carried out by the Negroes of the country through which a united protest will be made to members of the United States Congress, voicing the injustice which such a measure is to the members of the Negro race, not only of other countries, but this country as well. Booker T. Washington is the telegram to the editor of Turt Ace concerning the passage of the bill; Dr. Washington's Telegram. Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 3, 1915. Hon. Fred R. Moore, New York City. The Immigration Bill which is before Congress by amendment prohibits all people of African descent from entering the United States in the future, unnecessary, unjust and unreasonable. Not the least injustice is in the fact that only a comparatively few black people enter this country each year. The lack of an equal opportunity for original aliens. The passing of such a law will exclude not only persons from Africa, but from the West Indian Islands, San Diego and Cuba. Without the services of the West Indian Nogroes in digging the Panama Canal it could hardly have been completed. Now that the canal is completed it is unjust to prohibit the colored people who have been largely instrumental in building it from entering this country, quirements of our Immigration laws. The whole matter seems an unnecessary and unfair ship at the colored people, the bulk of whom are in the country, and the management among the white people in favor of such a law. It is not a sectional or political question and I am urging you to through Nogro Business League newspapers and through our vanguard organizations that you can reach to bring about the defection of this unjustly represented people and communicate at once with your Sister- and Representatives. of Nashville, Tenn. ex-Register. of the Treasury.

"While it is one of the duties of Concerned individuals of persons to enter the country, I cannot be persuaded to believe that an individual's responsibility for proper knowledge of the contribution which members of the African race have made to the general progress of the country should be reduced to anti-racial propagandists or reactionaries by directing 'shafia of their racial antiphony' against the African race in the host and the highest service of this country. I am sure that I do not hazard in making the production that the bill will share the same fate as many of the same people in the same spirit of racial hostility born in the slough of iniquity, and directed against the same ill-starred, unoffending and deserving branch of the human family." "Persons of African extraction who endured industrial,奴役、 and processive, and they invariably manifest such traits for admission for admission here.

In the excitement over the literacy test in the new immigration law, the newspaper correspondents at Washington University said of silence while the Senate has quietly adopted, by a bare majority of four, an amendment which can be excused on no ground but that of blind racial prejudice and that of be productive of no harm in this country.

INSINCERITY IS CHARGE SUPT. BRUCE MUST FACE RESIGNATION IS SUGGESTED Superintendent Davidsen, when in Office Tired of Opposition to Bruce and Suggested His Resignation, but He Appealed to Member of Black Cabinet. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 6—It is suggested that one of the prime reasons why Assistant "Superintendent Rosecoe Bruce finds himself embroiled in a mesh of opposition is an alleged propensity to "run with the hares and train with the hounds." That is, appear sincerely with those who made it possible for him to secure his present position, and those it been instrumental in "his retaining it" during time taking full communion with his known antagonists. Mr. Bruce, it is claimed, has been a great opportunist. It is recalled that two years ago when the three colored members on the board of education, Dr. Tunnell, Attorney Horner and Mrs. William Harris, believed they had good and sufficient reasons to desire his removal, and moved the board to dispense with his services', he appealed to some then strong and powerful friends to come to meet with them they did. A that time his opponents were principally known as the anti-Washington contingent, and his most loyal friends were those who believed in the work of the Tuskegan. Resignation Suggested. It is stated that at this particularly crucial period, for him, Superintendent Davidson, who had, up to that time, supported him, grew weary of the persistent opposition of the three colored members of the board and feeling that various other affairs could be needed in various other affairs, he gested that, perhaps it would be well for Mr. Bruce to end the turmoil by submitting his resignation as assistant superintendent, in which event he would have, possibly been provided for in some other capacity. Mr. Bruce, it is reported, appealed, most pathetically to one of the always very active members of the then styled "Black Cabinet," for advice. This gentleman, with western, frankness, advised him not to resign, but to stand pat. Believing in Mr. Bruce's sincerity, and suspicioning that, perhaps he had been more sinned against than sinning, this member of the Black Cabinet goes busy in his behalf, with the result that he was not punished, but inured, but one after the other of the three opposing board members were dropped when their terms expired. Tuskegee Interests Involved. Mr. Bruce, it is alleged here by some, intimated, in effect, if not in words—probably both—that the real animus of the opposition to him was founded on his cordial relationship with Dr. Washington's friends and his friendly interest in the work of the Tuskegee leader. He also supported the support for him of Dr. Washington. The doctor's friends at Washington, however, did not care to invite the doctor's interference in a strictly local fight, and they knew it was not the doctor's policy to trust himself in local fights, so decided to handle it themselves, which they did. Mr. Bruce was very profuse and apparently sincere in his thanks to this member of the Black community who advised to ample pain and to all others who co-operated to have him retained by Superintendent Davidson. No sooner had the administration changed at Washington and presumed and assumed trend of affairs indicated the retirement of his friends who were members of the B. C. and the coming into power of his erstwhile enemies, and his help was charged to firt with, and as his sails fancied the fancied new regime, most of whom had previously been his implacable enemies. Friends Realize His Inaincerity. His stunach friends, when he needed friends, saw his plays on the checkerboard of opportunity; realized, it is said, the insincerity of his friendship for them, and his unappreciation of their labors for him, and simply in disgust pronounced him "a trimmer and an ingrate." Fancied new regime of anti-Washingtonites and Negro Democrat failed to get a call from the Wilson administration. They also, judging from former experiences with the slave opportunist, assumed his quick turn; his hasty patronizing of them, was not without a selfish meaning. "Today Mr. Bruce's opponents, most of them, are still his former opponents, the so-called Washingtonites, while his former friends, the man who worked of the man from Tuskegee, are leaving him to fate without making the least effort to dam the tide of opposition, or stay the flow of objection." Mr. Bruce is now like Daniel, in a lion's day, but unlike Daniel, no success is being offered. His former friends and no personal equity for Mr. Bruce's former and present comments; they might were showing their friendship for him under the belief that he was more stained against than sinning. They, too, now have sounded the depths of Mr. Bruce's sincerity. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS BROADCASTS LIBR In its issue of January 1, 1915, the Amsterdam Newspaper of New York City, published the following retraction of certain oblique statements appearing in that paper July 11, 1913, concerning Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age, and on which Moore had had a sarcastic for lilie: "The Amsterdam News," having heretofore been used by Fred R. Moore editor of the New York Age, for lilie, on paper on the 11th of July, 1913, in which article Mr. Moore claims his character is attacked by innuendo, takes the opportunity to declare to the public that anything in said article construed as derogatory to the character said Fred R.

They offer great encouragement to the young enterprise when they are preparing itself to earn a livelihood and compete with other races in New York City. At 81 West 132d street Mrs. Elizabeth Bryant has for the past four months conducted the Eleanor Lingerie Room. She makes a speciality of fancy underwear, kimonos, caps and artificial flowers. She is also a ladies' tailor. Mrs. Bryant keeps always on hand a full supply in regular stock of these customers preferring made-gear clothing, garments and to their satisfaction, judging from the large amount of business she does. It is said her prices are as low 'as can be found elsewhere. Mrs. Alodin Ricks, 81 West 132d street, is a ladies' tailor, designing her own patterns, which are said to show much originality. Mrs. Ricks is an expert at fancy embroidery work and, has all the work she can possibly do. Mrs. Ricks and Mrs. Bryant are graduates of the McDowell School of Dress-making. John T. Kicks, husband of Mrs. Kicks, is a bass singer and a member of the Tempu Club. Mr. Kicks is employed on the bass night per week. He thinks that in the New York City is a great opportunity for colored 'celloists, artists and clarinetists.

Joseph De Clemente known in New York's dancing class circles, is also a guest. Mrs. Llewellyn operated the National Waiters' Restaurant seven months during 1913. W. F. 'King, proprietor and manager of the Victoria Employment Agency, located at 80 West 132d street', is a authority that statement that during the seven years he has placed 77,000 men in positions in New York City and vicinity. Of this number about 40,000 have secured positions in New York City. These figures do.not include day workers, for it is claimed that each day ten day workers have been placed. King says that it is much harder to secure positions for colored help in New York City than it was several years ago. Many positions which formerly paid colored maids and waitresses from $25 to per month are no longer opened to colored women. Stances given to whites, who are satisfied with from $10 to $18 per month, working, night and day.

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

The Negroes of the United States should at once forward strong telegrams and letters to their Senators and Congressmen and send them to the Immigration Bureau to amendment to the immigration bill, which prohibits all future immigration of all persons of the "black or African race." A newspaper, as well as an individual, should have high standards of decency. Just as it is nauseating in an individual to be a purveyor of filth and scandal and gossip, so it is in a newspaper to make a feature of these same things. Title Age has never yet thought because some drunken colored man shlashed his mistress' throat with a razor that it was an item of news which should be printed across the top of the front page in a three-inch scarehead. Neitter has THE AGE ever descended to be the medium of circulating personal and petty gossip. This high standard of newspaper ethics has always been and always will be the practice of THE AGE, so no one who is ever affected by personal scandal and gossip need fear that such happenings will at any time be published in these columns as news. This is a policy which ought to be followed by all Negro papers. GOVERNOR WHITMAN'S ADDRESS. Governor WHITMAN's inaugural address has made a splendid impression upon the whole State. The entire press, Republican, Democratic and independent, has had only words of commendation for what he said. There was no cock-sureness, no boasting, no promise of utopian reforms, only a sane and reassuring promise to accomplish all that hard work; hootesty, efficiency and patriotism can do. If Governor WHITMAN keeps up the pace he has already set, and there is every reason to believe that he will, his name will loom large in national affairs by 1916. RECONSTRUCTION DR. LYMAN-ANHOTT, successor of HENRY, WARD BRECHER as the preacher of Plymouth Church, is writing for the Outlook magazine, of which he is the editor-in-chief, a series of articles dealing with his reminiscences of the past fifty years. In chapter twelve, which appears in the issue of December 23, he discusses Reconstruction and the efforts made for the solution of the Negro problem in the South. He refers to Dr. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, principal of Tuskegee Institute, as among the men he has known best as working to bring about the solution of this vexed problem. He says: "BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, who has done more to interpret the South to the North and the North to the South, the white man to the black man and the black man to the white man, than any other American, and whom the future will place as a leader of his race, in the same rank with the other great racial leaders of human history." A DEMOCRATIC SPLIT A DEMOCRATIC SPLIT. It looks as though President Wilson is going to have about the same experience that CLEVELAND had with his own party. He has encountered enough opposition in the Senate to block all of his recent nominations. The old adage still holds good: give the Democratic party time and scope enough and it will never fail to justify its emblem to the jackass. ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF DEMOCRATIC FRIENDSHIP. The Negro still continues to be the football in politics. Some Democratic senators are trying to defeat the Immigration Bill on account of its literacy test clauses. The other day Senator Reed, in order to alienate Republican support from the bill, presented an amendment which added members of the "black or African race" to the list of persons excluded from the country. The amendment was passed by a vote of 29 to 25. This means; if the bill is finally passed, that there will be no literacy test, for Negroes; it will make no difference if one is able to read the Greek Testament in the original, he will be excluded simply because he belongs to the "black or African race." Four Republican senators voted for the amendment; and their votes enabled it to be passed. We shall print their names in large black type so that you can remember them: SENATOR BORAH OF IDAHO.

The main intent of this amendment is simply a further humiliation to American Negroes, for the immigration of persons of the "African or black race" to this country is inhistorical. Colored Americans who might go abroad would, however, find this amendment a very embarrassing matter on their return to the United States. American manufacturers and merchants are making efforts to secure a larger share of South and Central American trade, and here is a prejudicial and asinine Democratic Congress insulting a large proportion of the citizens of those countries. Where will this thing end? Another side to this question, West Indians are about the only persons of African descent who immigrate to this country, and West Indians are British subjects; is not this amendment a violation of British treaty rights? Perhaps it will be only through England that we shall be able to defeat this piece of pernicious legislation. Every enfranchised Negro in the United States should at once protest to his Senator and Congressman to use their efforts to defeat the bill or to have the literacy test apply equally to persons of the "African or black rage." A POETRY CORNER. The charge is sometimes made that nobody reads poetry now, but everybody writes it. This a bright epigram, but, as with all epigrams, it contains only a flash of truth. It is true that never in the history of literature has there been so large and general an output of poetry as there is now, nor has the average of the general output ever before been so high. Perhaps, there are no poets of the first magnitude writing—we must leave that judgment to posterity—but the great mass of verse being printed in books and periodicals is far above mediocrity. We have often heard the prophecy that we as a race are to furnish the great American poets, musicians and artists of the future. There is every reason for this prophecy to come true; we are more richly endowed for such a work than the white race. We have more heart, more soul; we are more responsive, to emotional vibrations; we have a larger share of the gifts of laughter, music and song; in a word, we are less material and we are, by nature, more artistic than white people. But although poets are born, they have to be made afterwards. That is, to write acceptable poetry, one needs to be born with a discriminating sense of beauty and rhythm, and with a brain capable of conceiving interesting; if not original, thoughts, and ideas. This much means having the necessary tools; but a working use of the tools must be acquired, the trade must be studied and learned. Now suppose some of us have these natural tools for making poetry; what is the first step to be considered in learning to use them? The first step, to be considered is the material upon which we are to work. That material is the English language. The English language is the material which is to be moulded and chiseled and polished into thought forms of beauty. Here is where workmanship counts, and good workmanship is all important. You may have the most divinely inspired thoughts, but if you do not know the English language you cannot write poetry—at least English poetry. Learning to use the English language to the extent of making it the expression of poetry is no light task. You must not only have a large vocabulary and know the ordinary meanings of words, but you must know their different degrees of force and weight and their different shades of color and tone. Moreover, you must learn to sense that subtler meaning which words in certain combinations have, a meaning which is beyond definition. All of this, perhaps, sounds pedantic, but there are practical means of acquiring this necessary knowledge. Two books are indispensable, an unabridged dictionary and a book of synonyms. (Fernald's Synonyms is best for the beginner, as it gives the correct usage for prepositions). Also, good poetry should be read with the purpose of observing how words and phrases are used by the recognized poets. After the above, it seems almost needless to say that the trade mark of mediocre poets is the constant use of worn out phrases and rhymes. No writer can expect to attract attention by coupling "night in June" with "silvery moon," or "stars above" with "hady love," and, perhaps, making it worse by adding "turtle doye." But no one who has poetic talent should continue to mar his work by such patent faults. By the study and practice indicated above you can succeed in writing acceptable poetry; that is, if you are born a poet. And, conversely, even if you are born a poet you can never give yourself adequate expression until you master the language. That there is a great deal of poetic talent in the Negro race is shown by the mail which comes to the office of "The Age." Most of the verses sent in are extremely crude, but we feel that there is enough talent manifested to warrant encouragement. "The Age" will therefore establish a "Poetry Corner" for those who are ambitious to write poetry. We hope gradually to raise the standard of acceptance until to be published in the "Poetry Corner" will carry some distinction. If, through this means, only one, out of the many who will make the attempt, should be encouraged and aided toward reaching a high degree of excellence the space would be far more than paid for. Manuscripts should be plainly written or typewritten on one side of the paper, and addressed to the editor of this column. Unpublished poems will not be returned, so contributors should keep duplicate copies of their work. ANTHOLOGY OF MAGAZINE VERSE AND OTHER BOOKS. Mr. William Stanley Braithwaite has issued the "Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1914." The book contains the full text of the seventy-seven poems which Mr. Braithwaite judges to be the best of all those published in the leading American periodicals during 1914. Mr. Braithwaite's stamp of approval on the poems included in the "Anthology" is accepted by editors, critics and lovers of poetry in both this country and England, because his word is authoritative. Those who may be interested in the article, "A Poetry Corner," cannot do better than secure a copy of this book. From it can be gained a clear idea of the trend and form of contemporary poetry, a knowledge of what the poets of today are thinking and writing about and the manner in which they are doing it. But, we started out to say that not one person in a thousand who sees Mr. Braithwaite's name and who knows that he is recognized here and abroad as the highest critical authority on poetry in the United States, knows that he is a colored man. We should be ashamed to make a guess at the proportion of Negroes that never heard his name. This brings us to consider one of the most discouraging phases of our condition—this applies to the intelligent Negroes—and what is the almost absolute indifference to books and makers of books. Not only to books in general, but books in particular. There are white people writing books to prove that the Negro is an inferior and that he should not be allowed even to aspire to equal citizenship in this country. And we regret to say that to a large number of people they do prove it. There are other white people and men of our own race who are writing books in the Negro's defense. And, yet, the mass of even intelligent colored people do not know what is being said against them of for them. The great books that have been written by Dr. Washington, Dr. DuBois, Professor Kelly Miller, Charles W. Chestnut and others should have been bought and read by not less than 250,000 Negroes, perhaps by 500,000. If an intelligent foreigner, familiar with our conditions, in this country, was told that not 50,000 Negroes (of course, this figure is too large), out of the 10,000,000 had bought these books he would be apt to say that a race which showed such a lack of interest in its own welfare did not deserve any better treatment than it received. A short time ago the writer met a colored man of intelligence and sufficient means who had delayed for two years reading a book by a Negro author, a book that he was anxious to read, because he had not yet found anyone who could lend it to him. How many who read this article have read any of the following books on the race question lately published: Out of the House of Bondage—By Kelly Miller. In Black and White—By L. H. Hammond.

The subject of accompaniists is a large, varied one, at once vital and discouraging because the accompaniist makes or mars the work of an artist. The least capable ones often demand the highest price and some give the impression that they are doing the eager an immense favor. Once, I practiced almost the whole of two days with a pianist who deliberately charged SS each for two consecutive engagements. When I sized up the situation and my own expenses she had cleared more than I had, for she had no expense for transportation or costume, and I had taught her the accompaniists. Afterwards I played with her, had an engagement in another car to the move, she took the promoters that she had played twice for me and they engaged as my accompanist. I refused to have her and told her pointblank that I had neither the strength, time, patience or inclination to teach her the accompaniments and then pay her. I had sung myself hoarse in practising her and she had taken all my work as a matter of course. Many suppose that any pianist is able to play accompaniments. I have been obliged to refuse the services of very good solo pianists who had no experience in reading any, but the two stiffs of the piano accompaniment. "Their eye had not been trained to reach above the singer's staff. In two or three minutes a singer can see, that it is too much to expect in a day's time. The Accompanist Who "Fakes." "Faking" accompanies are the "limi" We are told, "Oh, yes, he can play anything." Some of them make up chords and bang at the end of the selection at it to say, "Well done!" Some deliberately ask "if they have pleased you—if they have suited you," and a singer is obliged to answer, "Yes." too. Faking accompanies have a local reputation to sustain. If they would work as faithfully on the music as they do on the singer to get his word of approval, there would be less complaint. When an accompanist "dog ears" the corners of my music in a very professional manner as if they thought this an accompanist's professional privilege. I always count time to keep from speaking things that are in my mind. One time an accompanist, one of the best known in the country, tore a brand new operatic copy clear across every page into which I had patiently copied all the special marches cadenzas which had been given to her by the composer of the song, and calmly remarked, "I suppose your accompanists ruin a lot of musi for you," and never offered to pay. I was speechless with admiration of his "nerve." One crack accompanist who was to receive $5 to accompany five songs, and who had held the music for a whole week for a Monday concert, returned the music Saturday with the news that she had sprained her arm and could not play for me. I arrived Saturday afternoon and was told that no accompanist was procurable. Down in my heart I knew that the woman had found the music, too difficult for her, but I did not, say this. It was my first appearance in the town and I wanted to have success. A Competent Accompanist Although the people of the town were rather prejudiced to colored people, and I did not know whether a white accompanist would assist me. I went to the largest music store, showed them one of my circulars of press comments, and asked for the best accompanist in the city. He was called up by telephone and as he was engaged for the night, he recommended a young woman "who could excel him." In fear and trembling I went to this young woman with my music and circular. She looked at the music carefully, then said, "I can play it but I cannot rehearse until tomorrow. Sunday," I asked her how much she would charge, "I generally get $2." "Very well," I replied, "I will be here at two." When I began to rehearse and noticed that she was playing as if she had committed the accompaniments to memory, I said, "Did you know the accompaniments?" Oh, no, said size, "I never saw them until you brought them, but now I know the songs as well as the accompaniments although I cannot sing them. I committed them to memory on the street cars and while-walking to my pupils' houses. I have fifty pupils. This accompanist brought her mother with her and paid 25 cents for her entrance ticket. I engaged her for three more concerts. She always brought her mother for whom she paid entrance fee, and she had street car fare, too. Then the colored people sent me a young man aspirant, who told me first thing that his terms were $5 before he looked at the music. It took nearly a week's hard practice, every day, and still he could not play the music so that I could forget him and his mistakes. The nictent of the concert, knowing that he was not competent to hold his own, he loved his nerve. I grew desperate, sane on and left him. I sang and smiled while he phunted" me. One dear old educated sister even noticed and said "What's the matter with that joy? He each plays. He took the $5 just the same as if he had." I was fully indicated by the colored clothes, and when I returned for my fifth and most successful concert in the five weeks, I again employed my young white girl accompanist, who still only charmed her regular $2, but I made the matter square with her. A Novel Rehearsal. I rehearsed with a church ordained on a Saturday night at a choir practice before the whole choir. The choir could not read the music and the consciousness and nervous that in the perspiration streamed on the face and great drops even on the top of his hands. I worry for him that I called out for him between the sylph. At I sang, I would call out "B that minor," "B that major," and this seemed to help him. He did fairly well at the morning service. In another city the accompanist, the church organist, selected by the promoters from the same church, could not play the accompaniments. There was an accompanist, a rather elderly woman, who considered her services indispensable and who was piqued because she had not been asked to play at this my first appearance. But the committee did not know this and they told me if their organist could not play the music that they would get Mrs. At seven Sunday night we went to the church where she is choir director, told her the circumstances, and she most willingly went to my stopping place near by, where we rehearsed the songs over and over. When we stopped, I asked "What will be your charge?" "Are you satisfied?" she asked. I answered "Yes." She then said: "I am not going to play. I just wanted to show you that I can play. Those people would not ask me first." And no persuasion changed her decision. I was worn out, but I "smiled." We had to send for some one else, and as eleven I was still practising. The young lame pianist came early Monday morning and again Monday afternoon and did very well. Another elderly accompanist also the best in the city I remained sitting upon the piano stool after I retired from my first song. The people applauded vociferously and I waited for her to follow me, expecting to give them an encore. Still more applause, then silence. The audience, it seems, was not well versed in concert ways or knew different methods, and some of them thought that I was changing my costume for the next song, as that seems to be the custom of some of the colored singers. But I did not know this at the time. Waiting to Plan an Encore. When I peeked out the door, there she was sitting on the stoel, I called, "Hist." She turned and I beckoned, "Why are you sitting there?" I asked, "Why, to play your encore." "Well, why did you not come back with me to see first if they desired one." "Oh, they are waiting for it, that's the way they always do, and I am getting too old to be walking back and forth so much to the piano." The argument was closed! A young pianist to whom I imagined I had been especially kind told me point-blank: "You are cheating us—by playing your own accompaniments." Another accompanist, for whom I had made many personal and financial sacrifices who had asked me to arrange that she might have an opening in a nearby city, and who I failed as a "star!" disappointed me also at the last moment. A newspaper criticism so upset, her that she had an unnoticed lapse of memory when playing one of her piano selections. The third day before the concert after all rehearsals had been satisfactory, she declared that she was too nervous to attempt the three-hour trip, that her physician had given orders that she was to remain at home. I called up the physician, who denied that he had suggested this. I did all I could to persuade her to "try," but she was oldurate. I then engaged an inexperienced young pianist. Over and over, during different periods in the two days, I sang the violin solos, the baritone solos, my solos, until the young man understood what was expected of him. The other artists had no time for extra rehearsals. I was aggrieved because I was introducing four new, young artists, and lost my appetite, and became so ill that at the concert I could hardly pull out the tones. All my young artists made, good, and the audience was very kind to me, but while on the train that night returning I collapsed and lost consciousness from acute indigestion as a result of the mental and physical strain. A Test of Musicianship. Several times pianists who have asked to play for me had "entertained" me, and some have played gratis for an advertisement. I of course, work faithfully, practicing all day between meals. I worked faithfully with one of my hostesses who had never accompanied before and was immensely amused to note in a newspaper account the test of her musicianship—i.e., she had accompanied Mme. Hackley. Some accompanists asked, "What is Madame receiving?" before they will state a price. Some are a bit jealous because their pay seems out of proportion. One said to me, "See what you get in a night and what I get." In a month I hardly earn what you receive in a night. Another said, "Look at your clothes and at mine." "That is not my fault." I answered. "I get out and work for everything I have. Why do you not?" Another persisted in giving scornful glances at my long pink satin train until the other people in the anteroom noticed her very evident jealousy. I do not blame her for being jealous, for it was a beautiful gown which had been designed by a kind friend, a colored dressmaker in my old home, Denver, who had charged me almost nothing, and who had afterward made other beautiful concert gowns for me, gratis, that I might have success. I could not imagine this accompanist being so favored. Mme. E. Azalia Hackley writes, from Springfield, TN, that she left on January 2 for Los Angeles, Calif., where she hopes to find relief from a severe attack of bronchitis which is troubling her. Entrance to California she intended stopping over for a few days in Denver, weather permitting. TRENTON, N. J. Trenton, N. J., Gen. Wm. J.

Xi". , Many of us’ spend’ valuable time—hour after hour—indulging in idle speculation, im whimsigal-and visionary propositions .which inevitably lead to failure, empty pocketbooks and empty/stomachs, and which breed pessimism, discontentment and bad temper. . Perhaps “day-dream- ing” is delightful-as‘a diversion, but as an accelerator of success it bears a, bad reputation. : ‘Strange to relate, many with imprac- tical. ideas are so obscessed with their ‘own ideas of self-impdrtance that. they usually regard those who would, advise them. to discard false business doctrines as pessimists, “four-flushers,” as being “big-headed” or, prejudiced, For in- stance, 2 man wito is: deeply interested “ia theatricals, but who to date has not demonstrated his ability to either pro- duce or perform, has for three months called upon me at frequent intervals, and ‘upon ‘each occasion unfolded some fanci- ful scheme by means of which both of ts could carry aboiit pocketbooks af swollen proportions Within a short, time ‘Now the théught of getting rich quickly ia very alluring, but one derives. greatest pleasure from the thought. After think- ing ‘ibout getting. rich in a very short “time your pleasant pastime suddenly “ends, for there if a vast difference be tween thinking about getting rich in a Ahurry and jn getting rich in double quick time in reality. _ At the last talk I had with my “pur: Yeyor of original theatrical ideas” he Became somewhat riled wheri I attempt ed to “pour cold water” on his proposi- tion on the ground that it was imprde “tical, and he accused me of being ; pessimigt.. When I asked him why he considered me so he replied that anyor who could not grow enthusiastic “ove: “his excellent plan to make a big bunch ‘ef money quickly must be a pessimist .and“then he hastily made his exit with- “out bidding me adieu—a fond one ot otherwise, . ‘About 2 month ago.a young mari with “histrionie ambitions cailed to see me regarding securing an engagement at the “Lafayette Theatre. He informed me that he Had appeared sin a number of Shakespearian roles in the colored churches of this country and aspired to “peoducé “Romeo and Juliet,” “Hamlet” and The Merchant of Venice.” I in: formed my visitor that the idea was not practicable: that the Lafayette Theatre “was run as a “three-a-day” vaudeville Rouse, occupying about the same stand- ‘ing in the theatrical world-as the Loevt houses; that it was not because two- thirds of the patrons of the: Lafayette Theatre were colored that conditions “forbade the presentation of Shakespear- jan plays at this time, but that the clientele of the house did not care for such entertainment. I pointed out that Hammerstein's Vie- ‘toria, the* Palace, Colonial, Alhambra and Orpheum were the only vaudeville -houses where Shakespearian sketches ‘were presented, and then by established favorites as E. H. Sothern, julia Mar- Jowe and other stage celebrities who have a large following who were sure to draw large crowds interested in Shakespearian plays. ‘The’ highly ambitious young man re torted. that as he could nat Secure an. engagement at any of the white theatres he did think it very discouraging that he be denied an opportunity to slow his ‘marked capabilities as an actor at a thea tre supported principally. by members of fis race, and that such an engagement should-be-entered-into, if for no other reason, as a matter of race pride. I then made” myself perfectly clear on what was getting: to be a ‘painful ‘subject by stating that race pride did not pay bills nor keep theatre open; thatthe race would show more appreciation if the ‘proper kind-of acts were booked and the Lafayette was kept open than if colored turns were put on for purely sentimental Feasoris—acts looked upon with disfavor by the patrons and productive of such poor business that thg management would, be compelled’ to close the doors of: the theatre for good. i “1 informed my would-be stagé Romeo that I would be- pleased to give him a ichance to show what he could do if he appeared in a sketch dealing with Negro life—one in which the patrons of the Lafayette Theatre would be vitally in- terested; and adiised bith to stop trying td do things which’ could be done many times better by white, people. I sug- gested that he take'up a line of dra- matic work in.which, the field was, rich with possibilities and where.a big-market could be ‘created ‘for his presentations if they -really contained merit..

Ofttimes thea- tres ‘turn them away during some, en- gagements and then lose money. In any business two things are to be considered —the receipts and expenditures—and it is not infrequent that the ‘expenditures are in.excess of the receipts. There are hundreds, of, people. tq-day who believe that Williams: & Walker should have been very wealthy during their long and successful appearance in musical comedy. And why? Because it was seldoin that the “Standing Room Only" sign was not put in seryice, and night after night in every city the cori: pany played,to large houses. But Wil lias & Walker did not-own the shows, and their business arrangements were similar to those made by nine out of ten stars—working for a weekly salary and a percentage of the net receipts at thé end of the,season.

Old members of the erstwhile Williams & Walker Company who are familiar with some of the show's business secrets are still talking about the company’s three wecks' engagement in St. Louis during the World’s Fair held in that city, when people were turned away nightly, and then the’ company lost moriey on the engagement.

Johnson drinks cham- pagne—but he drinks it sparingly. The fact that he went twenty rounds against Frank Moran and showed but little ef. fect of that milling ought to convince ‘people here that Johnson is, still able ‘to stand the gaff of a Jong ‘fight, “There's: a_human side to” Johnson that we don't hear much about over here.

But Johnson refused to take them, “Your word: is good enough for me, ‘said Johnson, "Send. it back ‘when yo [get flugh—and don't hurry about it, you don't get flush, forget all- about owing it to me” i Still Has Money. “Johnson landed in London “some months ago with quite a bit of moncy. Stories to, the effect that he was: ‘bust- ed’ are all'bunk. He had enough money to maintain two automobiles, two chaut- fours, a secretary and live in nice style. Furthermore, soon after his arrival in London’.he secured an engagement in ‘the. meric halls there and drew down ‘quite a nice.roll for his exhibitions, “Johnson told me about one of the ‘French officials asking him to enlist for war duty. Johnson said to him: “TH fight’ if you give me 150,000 ‘francs ‘($30.000) win, lose or draw. “Johnson's one ambition is to become ‘a great cook. Just now he is -specializ- ‘ing in tea- biscuits, .

The wgame.from beginning to end was filled with thrilling situations, and each team seemed’ bent on securing a.lead which would enable it to rest on Easy Street. . But that could not be done. The’ teams were too- evenly matched. The Incorporators, in the first five min- utes of play, scored 7 against 1 for the Big.S, but at the end of the first half the Aiphas had'evened up matters and the Score stood at Ball. In the second half .matters were re- versed. The Alphas for a few minutes played the Incorporators off their feet, for the Big 5 added three field goals 6 the score in as many minutes! Or all sides one could hear it said, by one with exultation, and by another with sorrow, that the Alphas had struck their gait and it was ail over but the shouting. Mad- den called his boys to the western end of the court and talked to them for a few seconds. After-that the game took ‘on a hew phase, the Incorporators put ting up the most desperate fight ever witnessed on the court of Manhattan Casino, trying to overcome: the Alpha’s Tead, But it scemed impossible to even up the score, for.when the Incorporators would reach within one point of tieing the score the Alpha players would pro- ceed to add a few more, points, And so the game came to the last two minutes of play, with the score at 20 to 15 in favor of the Alphas. With ‘grim determination, with increased speed, with uncanny skill, the Incorporators dashed into the game, and whien there were only 35 seconds left to play the score stood at 20 to 19. The boys had fought desperately, but not yet had they over- come. Then, Alpha fouled, With only thirty-five seconds to play, and a try for’ foul goal, it seemed. that thé best possible outcome for Madden would be a tie, The ball was passed. to the new left forward, Harry Williams, and into Williams’ mind there-flashed a daring, scheme. As he walked to the foul line he cplled Perkinson to his side and told"him what he had in mind, Perkinson :was ‘to hurry into position and watch the ball. When Williams shot for the foul goal, if he missed, Perkinson was to be ready to jump for the ball before. it struck the floor and try for a field goal. As Williams reached the foul line the whistle blew for ihe play, he shot the ball, it struck the rim of the basket, bounded into the air, and as it {el “Perky” jumped for it, caught it and caged the goal. As the ball passed through the basket the whis- tle blew for “the ending of the game. | But the neceésary points had"been- made, and the Incofporators were the winners by the score Of 21 to 20. The immense [crowd present at this game saw the mak? ing. of basketball history. | ——. , fom Wachenfeld, the referee, walked out into the center of the court and made an attempt to announce the result. Bat jt wasn't necessary. The boys in the red and black. had wirelessed the score to all corners of the mammoth hall, and first Cooper, the crack center, then Perkinson, who caged’ the winning field goal. and Williams. the new for- ward. were elevated to the shoulders of their clib and team mates and carried arotind the hall-in a triumphal proces- sion. But it was a commendable exhihi- tion when the boys stopped their jolli- fication and ‘got together for a rousing cheer for their defeated but not dis- graced opponents, Alpha has a great team. “Some might say the game was lost on a lucky fluke. But the fact remains that there was the clffince for a play— risky, it is true, but the only play which could possibly turn a defeat or possible tie into a victory, and Williams was stuick enough to see it and game cnough fo ,atempt it, And before that_play Witliams had’ caged five fouls. Then, of course, »Perkinson's skill cannot he discounted, for he had already caged two of six field goals from difficult angles. ; In speaking of the game, Will Mad- den, the ‘doughty little manager, said: “Alpha ‘has a great team, and played my team to a stanilstill, but my boys scored baskets when the points were sorely needed. , This;-coupled with our fighting spirit, is what beat ‘Big 5’ At the next time, though, I am positive that the result will not be so close: Very rarely aré the fans treated to such a first-class exhibition of basketball as was given on New Year's night”.

It was a remarkable sight last year to see so many of the middle aged people fat the game to route for their alnia mater.

JONES TAILOR : | 431 Lenox Ave. Formerly mith New.vori wTaracta & CO me of, Richard Manuel Bolden, just of the First Emmanuel Church, 165 West 130th street, said that God was the one who will listen, hear and obey Him. "To all who have reached the place where, they are counseling of those who are suffering, stresses them in the secrets of His silent forces in nature, and the universe, who are in the heaven, and building them out of the darkened, sinful human life "The Magi were Immunuelist of a very high order, belonging to that class who had High God. Sleep or awake they knew God was with them. The listening, cunning, cruel, but strong poisonous King Herod found them, invading political and social Integer. For through a dream they were warned of God that they should not enter the country another way. The old crafty monarch did not know that the Immunelist was not permitting him to use his children as accessors to his creature, did not know God's purposes and plans. In jealous rage and fear he decreed the manacre of all male children from two years old to born. He found "the wicked child" long before his wicked proclamation had been made known God Our Father who is with us, sent the angel of our dream, saying, "Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring the young child and here that might be tufted which was spoken of Our Lord by the prophet, saying out of Egypt have I called My Son. The child life, the growth and the human divine protection and care are transcendental. The fact is, Our Lord the Immaculate has in imminent nursing, nursing, yawning, trustful crying and another loving baby. As such he grew, as a child grows. He waxed strong, filled with the grace of God was upon Him. In this truth concerning Him is a real example of all children who are of the kind of holy Spirit. Spirit is God in an international still it is the duty of the parents and the community to place them in a healthy environment where an observation of spiritual growth may show their progress in the things of life. There might be a difference between our growth and the immuman based on the nature of our quality, for we are evolutionary and regenerative and He is potential and eternal. He is sinless we are sinful, He is natural we are natural, He supernatural we are men made in the likeness of God. He is God made in the likeness of man. Every day of his childhood life was a perfect growth in both mind and spirit.

The Women's Charity Club of Brooklyn February 9, 1915, will-complete the first year of the organization of the Woman's Charity Club, formed by Mrs. G. W. Harris. At the time of its inception the club was known as the Brooklyn Woman's Club. Under this name, with Mrs. Harris as president, Mrs. E. L. Young, vice-president, Miss Adena C. E. Minott, secretary, and Miss Alice H. Cunningham, treasurer, the club confined its work for the first six months to the Brooklyn Howard Orphanage and Industrial School, sending trunks, boxes and barrels of clothing of every description; aprons, gowns, etc., were cut out and made at these meetings for the children; a barrel of salt was donated through the efforts of the club by the Worcester-Salt Company, which was forwarded to Kings Park. During the recent campaign to raise a $10,000 fund, $100 was given by the club. This was raised through the efforts of Miss M. R. Lyons, Mrs. Louise Scottron and Miss Sara Pearson as a committee holding a public meeting at Berean Baptist Church, the Rev. L. J. Brown, pastor. Just prior to the Empire State Federation, of which the club was a member, the name was changed to the "Woman's Charity Club." The president, Mrs. G. W. Harris, and the secretary, Miss Adena C. E. Minott, tendered their resignations. Mrs. E. L. Young was elected to succeed Mrs. Harris and Miss Nina E. Wilson was elected secretary to succeed Minott. It was planned that the winter's work be confined to the assistance of individuals instead of institutional work. The first case was that of a family about to be dispossessed. Upon investigation it was found that immediate aid was needed. Four Thanksgiving baskets were distributed and during the Christmas, holidays a number of little hearts were made glad by the aid received from the club. A "chansons et dandes" is being arranged for by the club, to be held at an early date. AGENTS WANTED. Agents and canvassers wanted in all parts of the U. S. for retail jewelry business.
