The New York Age G.O.P. RETURN TOPOWERISSURE ELECTORAL VOTE OF 288 The National Committee Analysis of Recent Vote Shows that Republican States Have a Majority of 22 in Elec. College Progressive Party in Thirty-nine Districts Enabled Democrats to Elect Congressmen and Made Possible Democratic Senators from Four Doubful States. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13.—According to an analysis of the vote cast at the November election the following States, with an electoral vote of 288 were carried by the Republican's: Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Washington. The commute to As only 266 votes in the Electoral College are necessary to the election of the President, the Republican National Committee, which issues the above analysis, is confident of the party's return to power in 1916. In addition, figures from the 1916 election show that the Democrat majority in the next Congress is only the result of the Progressive vote in certain districts of the country, and that the Democrats will really be a minority party in the House of Representatives. In 23 states, according to the committee's figures, which cast 288 votes for President, a majority of 22 over the 266 necessary for choice. Three States—Oregon, South Dakota and Nevada—are classed as doubtful, as on national sheets they divided their allegiance. Republican Congressional delegates from the three states were chosen. The make-up of the new Congress is given as follows: Democrats ..... 230 Republicans ..... 195 Progressives ..... 6 Others ..... 0 In thirty-nine of the Congress districts which elected Democratic members, the committee points out, the Progressive vote was larger than the Democratic pluralities, so that had it not been for the Progressive vote the Democratic members in the next House would be only 191, while 218 is necessary for a majority. Big Progressive Loss. It is also alleged that the Progressive vote elected Democratic Senators in California, Colorado, Indiana and Oregon. In answering the question as to whether the official vote of 1912 the committee says that the official returns show that there has been a Progressive loss of 2,507,811 votes, as compared with the Presidential vote of that party two years ago in the thirty-first election, which has been compiled. A Republican gain of 2,489,888 votes over the Republican Presidential vote of 1912 is also shown. The vote last year, based on the election of Senators and Representatives, was: Republicans, 4,113,319; Democrats, 3,215,426; Progressives, 956,467. 1912 the vote in these States was: Willard, 2004; Roosevelt, 2085,748; Taft, 2477,372; according to the committee's figures, that not alone was there a huge slump in the Progressive vote, but the Democrats suffered a substantial loss as well. It is interesting to note that of the total Progressive vote, cast in these twenty-three States, half of it was cast in Illinois and Pennsylvania, and nearly two-thirds of the total in Illinois, Pennsylvania and Kansas. Figures have been compiled from the results of the Republican were not successful at the election, and these are representative States in different sections of the country. In the total votes cast in these twelve, the Democrats won by a plurality of less than 200,000. Only Few Votes Needed. In 1912, the Democratic plurality in these same States was more than 1,000,000. A small percentage of Republican gain would have put three of these states into the Democratic nomination increase of a little more than 5,000 Republican votes would have carried Nebraska, Colorado and Maine, with their Twenty votes in the Electoral College. States were Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Montana, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Montana Nebraska and North Carolina. In 1914 the vote was: Republican ..... 1,472,237 Democrat ..... 1,663,822 Progressive ..... 470,968 In 1912 it was Taking all of the thirty-eight States be compiled, the departmentals at alge b November election cast 47 per cent of the total Republican, Democratic and Progressive vote. The Democrats cast 41 per cent, and the Progressives 12 per cent. In 1912, in the same States, the Republicans cast 26 per cent, of this total, the Democrats 43 per cent, and the Progressives 31 per cent. The House of. Representatives chosen at the November election will contain: Republicans, 195; Democrats, 230; Progressives, add to these three; California Republicans, a Republican, a Prohibitionist and an Independent, and from New York a. Socialist. The House of. Representatives elected in 1912 contained: Republicans, Democrats, 292; Progressives, 15; Progressive-Republicans, 5; Independent, I. The committee says that it was the Progressive vote that saved the control of the House of Representatives to the Democrats. They elected twelve more than a majority in the House, whereas in thirty-nine Congress districts: Democrats were chosen because of the candidacy of a Progressive. BULL MOOSE LEADERS ARE READY TO QUIT A number of the most prominent Progressive leaders of the State were entertained at dinner at the Manhattan Hotel on Friday night, January 8, by George W. Perkins, and until early morning a heated discussion was engaged in as tq whether or not the party should be invited. If so, should it close up shop and let the members return to the "Republican party or the Democratic, according to individual preference. Frederick M. Davenport, late Progressive candidate for governor, came out openly and said there was only room for two parties. Francis W. Byrd, who has always been an aggressive and fighting Progressive, left early. He looker disgusted but had nothing to say. Others of the leaders thought they could win the party as well in the ranks of the Republics Democratic parties as in the Progressive. The principal argument in favor, of continuing as a party was that by so doing the other parties could be forced to nominate men of Progressive tendencies. Even George W. Perkins thought there was not much to be done at this time, but he thought it well to keep the party going. Among the notable absentees were Omar S. Wilkinson for governor two years ago; William Hamilton Childs, a financial leader of the party; Horace S. Wilkinson of Syracuse, Judge V. K. Kellogg of Jefferson, and Walter Johnson of Westchester.

WILBUR KING REFUSED TO TAKE NEW POSITION special to TU, New York, Ack. Columbus, "Ohio, Jan. 12."—The unusual happening of J. Ames declining an office appointment last week when Wilbur E. King, for the past twelve years assistant county prosecuting attorney, in charge of the investigation, was a position by the new Republican Attorney General of the state in his office.

Jersey City, 2017, Jan. 13. —Great indignation has been excited in this city because Josephine, the aged white man, who was killed with assault upon a警车, has been on the guard for over a month. It was discharged by the grand jury. It is reported that the jury affected to believe that the woman was too respectable to commit such a crime, and absorbently to accept such a crime, and as a single-strait forward, and connected though it was. The child's mother is greatly wrought up at what she alleges is a miscarriage of justice. The little Dyer, who has tentatively promised to bring the case before the next jury, which assembles on January 19, and the colored people of Jersey City are watching closely to see what protection is being offered in the homes are going to receive. In connection with the Dyer case, the Age is in receipt of the following letter from a Jersey City woman: The little Dyer, of whom the following is the paper's case that appeared in the paper some time ago is brought to our attention again. I specially want to let the colored people of Jersey City know how to process the process. The white man who committed an assault on this little color girl of five years, has been set at liberty. Why did they set him at liberty? For the simple reason, he was a man and the child a color, who will be much the same time? God forbid that such will last. Oh, colored men, and women, where are you—asleep? Think of life wrong that is the case. I have no idea why you have the time to believe that daily upon us have the time for so much daring, drinking and so unlucky. Don't say that we have made wonderful progress in fifty years and then sit down. It is no what you were yesterday, but what you are today. As I have, wait, stop, and think. They released the white man because the Jurors decided that a man of fifty, of whom they had not had any other, such an act, but in one writer has said, "Justice may sleep, but never dies." The white man was placed under a fire, and the Jurors were not at the man was received from the hospital. Wen't that an outrage? But worse still, the man has been set at liberty without being held. "Dear readers, your eyes must fill at such outraces. The white man heures for the unborn. That is the reason they don't want such as that he's thrown in the池. The leading Negrons of Jersey City were to against the parents in this case, but to tell you the truth I think it was a very bad thing. It was a week's time. Can you help from melling at such allurestadness? Oh, men and women of the colored class, and the same as this at our doors? Will it last forever? Some of us make this remark. What can we do? That can be very useful. By the time of the meeting, becoming an independent race of men and women, and by determining to have meeting that will be of better importance to the people, you will be able to say an appeal to men and women thus. You leave other men's wives alone. Women leave other women's husbands alone. You leave the rest of the world, help her, venge the whole town, help her. I don't keep letting her slide, but endeavor to help her up. If a woman insults you, you will be a man to stand for right, because a cowhide and lick him, and you won't be troubled any more with the same man. Say that we as women will band our garrisons together. We will be the only one who has had the men to better understand us, to lead the men to betterment instead of to strong drink and immorality. Let every reader of this article take a stand for right, and let each will invest into the Dyer enge. NEW SUB-COMMITTEE HOLDS FIRST SESSION Special to New York, Art.

The wording of the amendment was vague and state and discriminate against them. It would have been difficult for a court to determine the meaning of the wording of the amendment, not only for foreign black people coming into the country, but also for people who were returning home from Abroad. The members of Congress who voted against it, and those enforced by you and other members—champions of the race, deserve to be congratulated on your efforts to obey judgment and national good sense.

CRAIG, Manager GOVERNOR O'NEILL WILL BRING LYNCHERS TO BAR ORDERED SPECIAL SITTING Alabama Governor Orders Circuit Court of Elmore County to Hold Special Session to Make Inquiry Into Lynching of Two Negroes on Monday, January 4. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 12—Declarating that the men composing the mob which, early on the morning of January 4, took two Negro prisoners from the Elmore County jail and shot them to death, and brought reproach upon the State, and that such men never hesitate to bring the blush of shame to every honest and patriotic citizen of Alabama, Governor O'Neal says that all of the power of the executive office as long as he is Governor will be brought to bear in establishing the guilt and guarantifying the punishment of the lynchers. The executive announced that he had as quickly as possible ordered a special session of the Circuit Court in Elmore County to make inquiry into the lynching. Every possible effort will be made to bring the guilty parties to Justice, he declared. The Sec. roes were lynched "on suspicion," said the Governor, adding that there was not sufficient evidence for any jury to have found them guilty of participating in the assassination of R. A. Stillwell, in connection with which crime they were being held. Said the Governor: "These Negroes were lynched on suspicion, and so far as I am informed there was not sufficient evidence that they would have convicted them for the crime of which they were charged. They were charged with the murder of one R. A. Stillwell, and were in the custody of the police, and they were awaiting their trial. No Justification for Lynching. "There was absolutely no justification for this lynching. If those who were executed by the mob were, guilty speedy trials could have been secured and their guilt established under the law. Those who have undertaken to perform the functions of judge, jury and executioner have brought merited reproach upon our State. The history of every State in the Union shows that mob or does does not check but only increases crimes. The justification for lynch law in Alabama "It is folly for us to expect those from other States or countries to locate in Alabama until we can assure every person within our domains of the State legislature that the proof of the sherif convicted at the commission of this crime I am powerless to punish him by impaction because his term of office expires in a few days, a fact which is not to be ignored upon the eve of the assembling of the State Legislature, accentuates the importance of their taking such measures as may be necessary to make lynching more difficult. The lead molts are generally those who have no respect for law or authority, who are cowardly and unwilling to face real danger, and yet by their lawless new behavior, bring the blush of shame to every honest and patriotic citizen of the State. "The people of Alutama must understand that their protection comes not from a mob of cowardly lynchers, insecurity or oppression, only from the modest impunity of the law under which alone their rights of person or property can be protected. "I am gratified to know that the eminent public sentiment of the State no longer exists. If crimes are committed they can be punished, by the courts and the administration of justice should not be entrusted to bandit cowardly misguided people. I gratify their prejudice or passions, to bring ruin and confusion to the State." COUNCELOR R. L. PERRY WIN$ $20,000 VEDICI Counselor Rufus Lewis Perry, attorney for Cecelia Welstead, 16 years old, of 13 Horton place, Ear Rockaway, won for her a verdict of $20,000 in a suit for damages against John A.

Gray, who killed his father on Staten Island six years ago, and who was sent to Matteawan as a lunatic, escaped from that asylum by climbing over the gate, was captured in New York. Friday night, January 8, as he was endeavoring to leave the city for the West by way of the Pennsylvania railroad. He escaped four days prior that time and the detectives had learned that he would probably try to leave the city. He is described as a militant, almost white, miscellaneous and handsome, with two fingers missing from his right hand. One detective spotted a man answering the description at 11st street and Seventh avenue, and accosted him. The man kept his right hand in his pocket and when the detective attempted to grab him the Grey responded with a blow from his left. Other detectives and policemen ran up and Gray was soon overpowered and taken to Bellevue to await removal to Matteawan. Gray is the first escape from the asylum since Harry Thaw 'gave away. PARENTS URGED TO KEEP CHILDREN IN SCHOOL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL An author writes to the parents of school children with this danger there is in removing children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen, years from school. This is being done at most time before the year transfer of students. In this connection the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes which has lately moved its offices to 2303 Seventh avenue, has issued through its assistant director, Eugene M. Klat, a statement of arguments against this practice. Mr. Klat in his letter reasons as follows: Klat, this is an age of efficiency and all children should be given thorough and regular care, regardless of the character of the work, and there is no preparation which is more instrumental than that of public education. Second, children sent to work too early are more vulnerable to the character of parental influence and on the other hand, parents are apt to lose too soon the children's future success. Third, and most important, this is a society and young people are finding great difficulty in securing work. Children can work in the days when their parents are at work or seeking employment. Aside from their parents, if removed from school, they are most likely at this time to be subjected to unrestrained children in our streets. HOUSE DEFEATS REED AMENDMENT Democrats Unite with Republicans and Stop Vicious Race Measure REED MADE SHARP MOVE His Object in Presenting Amendment Was to Alienate Republican Support and thus kill Immigration Bill. REFUSED TO STULTIFY SELF Republican Leader Declared that It Was a Temptation to Vote for the Amendment and thus Kill bill, but He could not so Stultify Himself. Special to The New York Ack WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13—The House of Representatives, by a vote of 252 to 75, rejected the Reed amendment to the Barnett Immigration bill, which was passed by the Senate by a vote of 29 to 25. Following this action, the various amendment was considered by the conteries from the House and Senate and representatives of the Senate agreed to agree to the action of the House. The bill in its amended form came before the House on Thursday, January 7. The debate was short but warm. A feature of the opposition to the amendment was the fact that a majority of the Southern members were against it. Representative Burnett of Chicago challenged the amendment on immigration declared in strong language that the amendment was a reflection on the many millions of Americans of African descent and, appealed eloquently to his colleagues to stand solidly against it. Representative Dies of Texas predicted the failure of the whole bill if the Negro exclusion amendment was included. He said that the majority of immigrants of African descent, but that in the face of no reasonable possibility of such a thing it was folly to legislate against a phantom. Texas Eagle Afraid He'd Starve. Representative Eagle of Texas, whose name is not in keeping with his character, urged the adoption of the amendment. He 'made the argument that "with the market for our cotton gone now, now we can feed." It to Mr. Eagle's attention in the course of debate that the Negro's labor produced nine-tenth of the food products used in the South. The Republican leader, Representative Maan of Illinois, declared that the Negro's labor was an injustice to the race. He said that the amendment was kept in the bill, would be as dead as a last year's smelt. "The amendment smells to heaven more than last year's smelt," he added. "Although it is a temptation to members opposed to the bill to vote for this particular amendment, I am unwilling to stigify myself and do an injustice to this race." Senate Forced to Recede. The result of the roll call—the defeat of the amendment, 252 to 75—was greeted with applause. The effect of such a strong vote was to dissuade the Senate from insistence on the amendment, which was supported by Congress. Senator Reed of, Missouri, who introduced the amendment, did so simply to arouse opposition to the bill, which he opposed. The 75 votes in support of the amendment were all from the Democratic side against it, 157 were from the Democratic side and 95 from the Republican side. The action of the conferences, agreeing to the elimination of the Negro exclusion amendment, leaves the law of 1870 as stood, making persons of African descent exempt from the exclusion as aliens with all the rights of possible citizenship. Some Newspaper Comment. Two of New York's daily papers spoke editorially on the action of the house in rejection of the Negro exclusion and the content of the Evening Mail. Said the Mail; No Negro Exclusion. The vote in the House of Representatives was emphatic -252 to 75 - in rejection of "the immigration bill to extinguish alien Negroes from this country. Even the North, the South was divided on the issue, and the spirit of unconstricted Bourbonism reached its low-water mark on the roll. Thus overwhelmingly was another race that has then been built a century from servitude to a good average of citizenship. The Senate will hardly venture into the faces of the vote in the House. It took the House of Representatives at Washington only a few minutes, by a vote of 252 to 75, to reject the Senate amendment to the Immigration Bill ex- coming from this country, signs of "the black or African race." Although it is not fashionable in Washington at this time to name names, the now standar is intended to exclude Italiano and Jew. The House deceived the proposition to bar Negroes because it was presented boldly. If there is a member of that body, who is not a Jew, nothing to the Jewish mind. Know Nothing, who has the courage to ask his associates whether they wish to deny Italians and Jews access to this country, these have fewer friends than the blackay. JERSEY CITY, N. J.

A LETTER TO THE AGE. How is the following, coming from a citizen of one of the sunniest States of this land of the free and home of the brave? Mr. FRED R. MOORE, New York, N. Y.

I please discontinue the paper, because I have found out that to sell that paper is to endanger my life. I shall still try to get subscriptions for it. VARDAMAN BREAKS OUT AGAIN VARDAMAN says he is going to bring this fight to an issue to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment. He says he has been working on it for twenty years. We don't know whether VARDAMAN will live twenty years longer but even if he does he will find that the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment is farther off than it is now. The only serious phase of this matter is the thought, where and what would VARDAMAN be were it not for the Negro; surely, he could never have reached the Senate. It surely cannot be much longer that the South will allow ignorant, narrow men of tow and brutal ideals to climb into high places over the prostrate bodies of unoffending Negroes. The extinguishment of "COAL BLAZE," the erstwhile belching volcano of South Carolina, points to the passing of the Southern political bully. THE GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD AND NEGRO SCHOOLS The appropriations of the General Education Board, as announced by the Board up to June 30, 1914, amount to $15,894,355.89. Of this vast sum of money it is reported that during the twelve years of its activities the Board has given to Negro colleges and schools approximately, $700,000. It is probably captions to call attention to the fact that the Negro people constitute, in the largest possible measure, that particular class of people who have not had the privilege and the opportunity of securing education for reasons for which they should not be held responsible. They represent the particular class of people who need aid more than any other class of people in this country, and yet the General Education Board has appropriated, during the twelve years of its activity, toward the educational needs of the people least able to help themselves, less than 4 per cent of its appropriations. The Board appears to have adopted the same ratio in giving for Negro education that the Southern States have adopted. In the past year the Southern States spent about $2,500,000 on public schools, of which amount something over $9,000,000 was for the Negro public schools. In the past twelve years the Board has given in round numbers $3,700,000 to education in the South About 18 per cent. of this amount went for Negro education. It is difficult for us to recognize the peculiar theories upon which the Board must be acting in making its appropriations for Negro education. It seems to us that the whole-souled appreciation of the needs of the Negro people would lead to larger and more satisfactory contributions. The Mexican historian must have a hard job, keeping pace with the change of events in that republic. The procession of presidents is rapid enough to look like a moving picture. NEGRO EXCLUSION AMENDMENT DEFEATED. The unexpected has happened. The amendment excluding immigrants of the "African or black race" which the Senate tacked on the immigration bill was defeated in the House by a vote of 252 to 75. This action leaves the law of 1870 as it stood, making persons of African nativity or descent eligible to admission as aliens with all the rights of possible citizenship. All of the Republicans and 157 Democrats voted against the amendment; the 75 votes in favor of it all came from the Democratic side. It is gratifying to see that the fight against the amendment was led by Representative Burnett, a Southern Democrat representing the State of Alabama and joint author of the bill. Mr. Burnett not only plead that the amendment would defeat the main bill but that it would be an unwarranted reflection upon the millions of Americans of African descent. It takes no stretch of the imagination to connect the influence of Dr. Booker T. Washington with the stand take by the Representative from Alabama. Mr. Mann, the Republican leader, rose high above politics. He is opposed to the Immigration bill, and although he knew the passage of the exclusion amendment would imperil the passage of the bill he, nevertheless, said, "Although it is a temptation to the opponents of this bill to vote for this amendment and thus kill the bill, I shall not stultify myself by doing this injustice to the colored race." It gives its renewed hope and encouragement to have such words uttered in Congress. At is reported that Representatives Eagle of Texas and Quinn of Mississippi frequently used the word "nigger" in the course of their remarks. The only comment their action deserves is that men who can narrow themselves down to such a contemptible compass cannot, by any possibility, stretch themselves to a comprehension of great national questions. PRESIDENT WILSON'S TRANSFORMATION. The most remarkable thing about President Wilson's Jackson Day speech is the wonderful transformation which it indicates. He is no longer the austere political scholar, the detached historian viewing with cold and impartial eye the passing show. He has received a baptism of love for his fellow man. He is animated with a desire to rub elbows with the common people, his heart goes out to them. He gives indications that he would like to be known as a "good mixer." Various surmises at the reasons for this change might be given, but let it suffice merely to hope that some portion of this milk of human kindness will be bestowed upon the ten million, colored citizens of the country. There was even a change in the manner in which the President expressed himself. His accustomed dignity and elegance of expression was overshadowed by the introduction of a colloquial, not to say slangy, style. It may be that he was trying to make his language harmonize with the popular conception of Andrew Jackson's character or, perhaps, it was a bid to become known as "Woody" Wilson. The speech would have been stronger if some things in it had been left unsaid. For example, the following words said in defense of the Administration's Mexican policy: "It is none of my business, and it is none of your business how long they take in determining it. It is none of my business and it is none of your business how they go about the business. The country is theirs. The government is theirs. The liberty, if they can get it, and God speed them in getting it, is theirs. And so far as my influences goes while I am President nobody shall interfere with them." These words are simply amazing when we recall the many recent steps of interference taken by the Wilson Administration in the internal affairs of Mexico; more vital steps than have been taken by any other administration since the Mexican war. The Democrats are somewhat divided on what will be the effects of the President's Jackson-Day speech, the Republicans are united in the opinion that it will not strengthen the President or his party. COMMENT HERE AND THERE. It is unlawable predicament in which Southern Democrats in Congress find themselves on the Indiana election fraud cases. It has been charged that several Republicans were elected by fraud at the last election in Indiana, and the Federal Grand Jury in that state is conducting an investigation. Now it seems that nothing could give the Democrats in Congress greater pleasure than such an investigation, but they are not at all keen for it. The joy killer can be found in the following extract from a Washington despatched: "It was pointed out that a United States Senator is a State officer and the Southerners contended that this would be an-invasion of State rights which might threaten the so-called grandfather clause and other prohibitions against Negro voters in the South. The Southern District Attorney in Indiana who is undertaking to do the very thing which the Democrats themselves inveigled against so recently. The Democrats fear that this attempt by a Federal District Attorney to investigate State elections will establish a precedent which will rise to plague them in the South." Out of Detroit also comes the following despatch: GIRL WAITERS ON DINING CARS. Business Increased in Michigan Since Negroes Were Replaced. Detroit, January 2.—Detroit executives of the Michigan Central Railway are having tested a plan whereby Negro waiters, in dining cars will be replaced by white women. Employees say the business has greatly increased since the young women, dressed in plain black dresses and white caps, were put on duty. The test is hardly a fair one for the men. White girls, colored girls, Indian girls, Japanese girls, or any other pretty girls neatly dressed, would increase business. If, however, the white girls prove to be more efficient waiters than the colored men, then the matter is serious. It is bad enough for Negroes to be forced out of work, but when, through their own lack of efficiency, they lose certain lines of employment, it is criminal on their part. This has often been the case, especially with waiters. Negro waiters once controlled the hotels of New York, the white waiters displaced them through sheer superiority of efficiency. There are gray-haired waiters in the Waldorf-Asioria and other such hotels who can buy and sell many of the people they wait on. These men make a study, no, more than that, they make an art of their business. They stick to their work as steadily as a bank clerk sticks to his. Colored men lost their grip on the New York hotels for several reasons; one was, they did not care to work in town the entire year; when the weather got warm they preferred to work at some seaside resort. It is sad to see all of this lucrative work taken absolutely away from them. If success in life can be summed up in any few words they would be "whatever you are engaged in doing, do it to the best of your ability." If a man is a waiter he should make himself the very best waiter possible. This does not preclude him from aspiring to be something else, a lawyer; for example; it simply means that while he is a waiter he should be the best possible, it is then quite likely that he will make a decent lawyer. THE TWELVE POUND LOOK Sir James Harris has written many notable plays; plays which bespeak not mere proficiency in the playwriter's art, but whose completeness reveal his closest sympathet with every throb and passion of the human heart. His characters are not simply drawn and worked out to fit into a plot; they live in his lines. It is this gift which fits him from the realm of the writer and places him in th. realm of genius. His plays are remarkable not only for their perfect expression, but as well for their easy adaptability to everyday things and thoughts: words and deeds. In the "Twelvie Pound Look" he has taken a modest young woman of simple tastes and made her the bride of a rich man. Coning up from the ranks of the toilers, she enters upon her new life with trembling heart and faltering footsteps. The foibles of the rich seem to strangle her. Her simple nature craves for work, activity; doing something worth while, but her husband surrounds her with an endless array of attendants and mads; teas and gowns. On every hand she sees selfishness, snobbishness and a total emptiness-of life. In vain she pleads with her husband to give her something to do besides living as a butterfly in society. He is blind to her viewpoint of life and living. Finally, she sees a vision of herself back at her typewriter earning her honest twelve pounds, or sixty dollars a month; transmitting her powers and energy into something worth while, something achieved. The look of dissatisfaction which had begun to chisel little wrinkles upon her face suddenly gave place to another look—the look of determination, or as Mr. BARRIE styles it, "The Twelve Pound Look." At the end of the playlet, we find her back at her old job—working, toiling and contributing something to world activities. It is a tale well told and its afterthought is one of self-searching and inspiration. World-history, as we know it, is a series of evolutions brought about by men who, becoming dissatisfied with conditions, were determined to change them. When FREDERICK DOIGLASS thundered his invectives against the institution of slavery, he wore the "twelve pound look" on his face; when the immortal JOHN BROWN, animated by the deepest and most profound sympathy for the' black slaves, seized Harpers' Ferry and precipitated the civil war, there was that same look of determination which is always followed by action. The white man in America is not blind to the fages of history. He knows that when a race begins to think, it becomes dissatisfied with injustice and arbitrary laws and that very soon this look of dissatisfaction will fade and change into a look of determination to make things better. Because he sees the "twelve pound look" on so many Negro faces and because of his own guilty conscience, the white man is in a state of uneasiness which is manifested by segregation, lynching and the many other forms of discrimination. Whenever we see a colored man buying a home or a farm it is because he is dissatisfied with rent-paying and whenever we see a colored man opening a bank account it is because he is dissatisfied with the burden of poverty and is determined to throw it off. The day is at hand when all Negroes must get the twelve pound look" upon their face, against all conditions, such as ignorance, vice and poverty, which tend to lessen the race's economic efficiency. Then, when the white people, who at present very largely control our destiny in this country, see upon every Negro face, the "twelve pound look" things will assume a different aspect. GERMAN-AMERICAL LOYALTY We wonder if the American people have had their eyes opened by the attitude of our German-American citizens on the war. It has been brought to light that Germans are allowed, by their government to become citizens of another country with a mental reservation in their outlift. If it should be necessary for this country to go to war with Germany, how would the loyalty of the millions of American citizens of German descent compare with the loyalty of those of African descent? SECURING RIGHTS There is an element of our people, is well as an element of white people, who are continually talking, about rights, but do not dwell very much upon duties. Every right carries with it a corresponding duty. This we should never overlook. And then there are some people who continually give voice to the statement that the only way to secure rights is to be continually yelling on all occasions, in season and out of season, for "Rights, Rights." This element of people overlooks the fact that there are a great many ways to secure rights. Asking for rights and demanding rights will help, but backing up these demands by substantial evidence of fitness and progress in the elemental things of civilization will help us to secure these rights, and what is equally important will help us to keep them after we have gotten them and use them wisely. WHAT 'THE PEOPLE SAY' To the Editor of The Age! The book "Advertising and Selling" is a magazine for business men, D. E. Evans of the Curry Publishing Company, gives the following highly interesting bit of news about us: "The magazines automatically eliminate for the advertiser the urge to buy a new product. "Clearn-born and Negroes," because these are not included in the magazine reading class." This statement is untrue and is a gross injustice to the race and should not be allowed to pass unchallenged. Too often these statements appear in the news, and they can be one to dispute their truthfulness, they pass swiftly down the years, accumulating greater power to persuade and multifurman manifestations of race prejudice and leaving behind them justice. In the first place, Mr. Evans has grossly insulted the Negro race in America who spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands with magazine advertisers, and in the second place he offers poor thanks on behalf of the Negro race in America who spend thousands of loyal colored women who count as subscribers and readers of the "Ladies" Home Journal." Upon investigation in one Southern community was about 4,000, it was found that more than fifty copies of the "Ladies" Home Journal came to colored people through the postoffice, showing that they were among them being the African-American subscribers. Through this same postoffice it was learned that other white magazines and publications were among them being the African-American subscribers. Through this same man's Home Companion, "Cosmopolitan," and many others, including the "Progressive Farmer," were insisting to note that from this postoffice more orders are sent by colored people to Wanamakers, Gimbel, Franklin Simon's, Alt-Arts, and Co. Larkin, and any number of other well known magazine advertisers. In another Southern city with a colorful population of 6,000 out of a possible dealer, the informs the writer that this Sunday sales of the "Atlanta Constitution" and Heard's "American" "average more than a hundred copies, in addition to each week about 5 copies of the "Saturday Evening Post" and 15 copies of The New York Age. Practically all his copies are from Evans' statement, but shows all too plainly what myopic support is given against him. The results of this investigation not only prove the inter fallacy of Mr. Evans' statement, but shows all too plainly what myopic support is given against him. The results are almost lowest odds, to give his people a paper and a voice in the press. Negro papers are published at great rates, and they are the only publications which fight the battles of the race earnestly, sincerely and persistently. The white publications, with a few excerpts, insult, malign, vilify and misrepresent the race, and yet we go on giving them the larger part of our support and the colored editor until we want a "buff." Another fact that, should not be overlooked in this connection is the question of advertising. National advertising classes, namely: Those who regard Negro business as worth while and those who regard it as worthless. If the advertising solicitor of a Negro former class, or a former class and asked for a portion of his advertising business, he would hear something like this: "I reach the better class of colored people through my class. I add the extra expense of buying space in your paper?" Those of the latter class, either through ignorance or malice, will say with D. E. Evans: "My business is unprofitable and I do not want it." For food, clothing, shoes, medical attention and drugs, farm implements, amusements and luxuries, the Negro newspaper and of this fully 70 per cent, goes to white business houses. It is indeed an unfortunate state of affairs in this country, and the Negro newspaper by our race does not bring the Negro newspaper any more returns, in cash from advertising. We wear, Campbells souls and Hart, Schaffner & Marx clothing are as well known to the average Negro as the average African man and they know well about white magazines and newspapers, read white magazines and newspapers. Thousands of white men who spend millions of dollars a year for advertisement, race hearings, will be sent by E. Evans, the law department, into the news accounts and stories of Negro crime and ignorance in their daily papers and having a deep interest in the investigation for themselves, they easily fall into the rut prepared for them by the sinister influence of the white prejudice in the land. And is there any justice in our madness to read white papers while palmerizing our own? And is there any reason why we should not stream into white men's business for such thankless appreciation when we might erect and sustain our own company. We repeat that the above statement by D. Evans of the "Ladies' Home Journal" is a manious untruth and insult to the country. Every colored man who reads the "Saturday Evening Post" should write a letter to the president, a protest against such a wanton warping of the truth by one of their representatives. ALBION LEWIS HOLSEY. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. To the Editor of THE AGE The colored people of the South highly appreciative of the way they think of an question that may come up.

If we hope to be a stronger stranger in Greater New York we must grow our client aid toward each other. Our surroundings are better than they were fifty years ago before some were torn from their lives. Mr. Editor, from reading some of your former articles, I know that you agree with my sentiments. Question the* Negro Should Ask. To the Editor of The Ace. I see that another committee has been to the White House to talk to the President, and I see that this time the committee was all white and all Southern—and, of course, there was nothing but antics and agreement—this time the committee was suspicion of insolence—for between these men and the President there is no "problem." Under these agreeable circumstances, the committee is entitled to reality, which glitters like that other one of pre-election days: "Our object is to know the needs of the Negro and sympathy for his good and our good." There you have it! Nothing in particular; just a generality with as many leaky pages as possible for his good and our good. He does not say: "Our object is to deal with the Negro on his merits, as to work, as to office-holding, as to justice, as to justice in our courts." He does not say: "We want the Negro so a citizen on exact equality with other citizens equally equal to us, and the rules of work and justice to black men which we apply to white men; we want to give the Negro his constitutional rights; we may not be "for his good and our good." Colored people should no longer be dazzled by the sheen of generalities. They should position specific questions: "What is your position on disfranchisement" On Segregation. On Lynching. Do you want us to demean you? Do you want our women based on sexuality and hardened? And to these questions the Negro should require specific answers—for many Southerners and some Northwesterners. Do you want our position on these questions as "for his good and our good." The time has come for us to ask not. "Will you do what you think is right?" But first, "What do you think is right?" Politicians in high places are either skillful dodgers or ambiguous like an elephant—and they sometimes get an answer that is not right. They must therefore sophistry. But specification and defineness are the Negro's only hope now. He has heretofore been too unqualified in sophistry and too credulous of generality. Another thing... white men, especially Southern white men, seem hard to understand that the race question in this country can never be settled by either white men alone or black men alone; that it is a question between the two and the settlement must be between the two. If it is not, we don't mind the comprovision. If it is not, we don't mind the little country, and yet there was not a single Negro, and yet the President wants "to know the needs of the Negro." One intelligent Negro can tell him more about the Negro's needs than a dozen white men. I have always contended that if a dog could talk he would give us more light on the dog's life. I am a little linesoppler of the ages have given us. Most many settles the question of lower animals with the lower animal absent, but the question between man and man is not settled that way, for both must be parties to the settlement. Men must mutually tolerate, discuss, and agree or compromise, and the nearer and better you know a fellow, the more like, and you to "sympathetically help" it. If what men want to do is the other own relations to know, both will only potato-bugs, they need only consult themselves; but they can't never settle the question between them and the American Negro with the Negro in absentia. Wiley University, Marshall, Tex Is Liberia a Failure? I have read with very great interest your editorial with respect to Liberia. I am not finding fault with your suspicion that respect is an encouragement in that respect to, however, to point out, to my mind, her greatest need lies in the direction of a goodly number of "Pred Moores," and such a number of them is a national Business League who "done things," and who have made comparative fortunes, proceeding to the Republic of Liberia for the two-fold republic, and, at the same time, helping to I think the saddled words of the late Dr. Crummell a few years ago on this same subject will pretty help us in determining the warranted food of that Republic.

The Williams Jubilee Singer appeared before a mixed audience of about the hundred people at Rust College. On Monday, December 6, her 5th in what proved to be the best exhibition and production of Negro class entertainment ever given here, she attended the annual session of the department of Rust College. The school and town gladly welcome him and his professional musculte to the city and showed their appreciation by commending her. She will attend the annual session of the upper Mississippi conference. It is hoped that they will be returned to her school and that they have been especially appreciated by the faculty and students of Rust. The Y. M. C.

An artistic temperament is not supposed to notice, in its wide perspective, the small detail of cleaviness. Certainly this is assumed, because the public auditorium are filthy and are disastrous to a singer's traditional costume. Yet we are supposed to wear our best at big affairs—in fact, all affairs. The universal cry is, "Wear your best costume." --- In one Northern city I refused to sing unless the stage was swept with a cloth over a broom. I asked the promoter to see to this. He replied that he had asked to have it cleaned and the manager declared it had been cleaned: "I know my business, so I carry cloth." It looks too picayamish to carry a floor covering; then, too, it would be lilthy in one night. A singer is supposed to be thinking most of her work, and to draw the attention of the audience more to her care of clothes than to her work is not traditional or professional. The white hall manager still insisted that the stage floor was clean, but I insisted and smiled and he had nothing to do but sweep that floor with the white cloth that I had pinned over the broom. There was no curtain, and when the audience saw the blackness of the dirt there was a hum of various comments, especially as the manager had charged an exorbitant rate. I blame the promoter for not insisting upon the scrubbing. He was entitled to it. The manager had his revenge! When I saw the black piano keys I hated to touch them, because the dirt had caked. I keped off all I could with my handkerchief. The hall had not been aired and the dead air and dust made a very unfavorable combination for singing. I sneezed and sneezed. Hired a Scrub Boy. I paid a boy to scrub the stage in one auditorium which was not much used, and I watched him to the end. When I sailed down the stage that night a cloud of dust followed my train. Women in the audience shuddered. Everyone noticed it and I could not imagine where it came from. However, in rearranging the scenery they had dislodged dust which had been accumulating for months. Most of our concerts are in churches and the sexton service is notoriously slack. Many sextons receive small pay and they clean up, and not be cause to bother for the reception of the Great Spirit. I have often wondered if the Spirit which has said "Cleanliness is next to godliness" really dwells in some of the dirty churches which I have sneeze in. I asked a promoter in a small town with few sidewalks to be sure to see that the platform was clean, because I would have no time to clean my concert costume for the next place. He assured me that the platform was clean. As there had been revival services all day for a couple of weeks I was fearful and my fears were realized. The bare platform was caked with mud. I told the promoter, a school principal, that it must be swept. He said he would have to do it himself, as if he thought this beneath his dignity. I insisted and he started to sweep. He raised such a cloud of dust that everybody began to squeeze. I had to stop the sweeping. It would have seemed funny to me. only I was disgusted. I pinned up my train, showed all my pink hosiery, and tried to break the organ. To add to my discomfort, schoolboys who had not the price of admission lowered the pulpit windows from the outside and took away a board from a broken pane of glass. The result was a cold. I would not return to that town for any fee. Missionary zeal does not include that. Pianes and Dust. People who have so little pride that they give a dirty church to receive the Holy Ghost do not need my missionary services. At another concert, when the piano cover was taken off, the enthusiasm with which some of the leading citizens dusted the piano with their nandker-chiefs after having moved it took the edge off the situation. Offtimes the piano stool and piano top are decorated. Sometimes when the pulpit is removed at the last moment the accumulation under it has to be swept. Once a kindly disposed sister went to her home near bl and got a rug with which she covered the floor and dirt. Many times sheets and white canvas have been used when the recitals have been under the auspices of women's clubs, which have decoration committees who sweep, dust and then decorate the platform. Sometimes the arrangement has to be changed, but enough has been done to insure cleanliness. Some people think all that an artist needs is a piano, and that all that is too. At the last moment it is placed on the platform with its accuracy of dust. Piano Variety. Speaking of pianos, what a wealth of inflection and meaning could be packed in that world. The many makes, styles and conditions. Pianos in tune, out of tune; pianos that are concert pitch tonight and international pitch the next night. Pianos so dusty inside that they send out dust which causes the artist to sneeze, to say nothing of dirty finger tips. It is surprising how many varied opinions there are about how a piano shall be placed. Some are placed so that the keyboard of the piano may be facing the audience. Some are turned "cateror" to make a pretty stage picture. Some churches have a certain side on which "we always have our piano." How are you going to get on the platform past the piano if we turn the keyboard at right angles to the audience? I answer, "I must have the treble clef end to the audience or the bass will drown all my melody." I must have it placed at a right angle with the audience, not at an oblique angle; an angle twist my neck, not easily twist my neck. After pleading and 'enjoying' I get the preface to give me the position I desire. How the Piano Was Moved. uge church. I asked to have the piano placed upon the platform. The minister had been called away and had been charged of the 'recital'. In charge of the 'recital'. One of the trustees told him that the piano could not be placed upon the platform, that everybody else used it that way. "Do your singers stand upon the platform?" "Yes." "Well, you see," I said smiling. "I play my own accompaniments and I cannot stand on the platform and reach down to the piano because, as you see, I have only normal arms." "It is against our rules to put the piano on the platform." "But your floor slopes too much for me to use the piano on the floor. However, I do not ask you to break any of your rules." We need not have the recital. I will be just as satisfied and will send in my bill for the disappointment. I put on all my wraps and started for the big car, when the young man said, "They are making piano; please give me." The lights turned up and an hour after the appointed time I began the 'recital'. The good trustee said "Let us have prayer" as I went up on the platform. I afterwards heard that no one was more pleased than he after I finished. Precedent had been the rule. In a New England town the piano had been placed on the floor by the music dealer and no one would help to move it as the platform was very high. I gave the demonstration upon the platform and desceeded for the songs. Sometimes men in an audience get 25 and 50 cents each for helping to move a piano, and often it is cheaper to hire one from a music dealer than to move the church piano. In one church the lights were so poor that I could hardly see the people in the gloom in the rear. School auditorium often go out because of carelessness. Once I was singing in a school auditorium and the lights went out just as I was making a high note. The pet dog of the school, who had been sitting behind me, licked my hand as it rested upon the keys, to reassure me, but the unusual sensation frightened me stiff. INJURES FOUR RIBS BY FALL ON PAVEMENT Special to THE NEW YORK ACK WILBERORough, Ohio, Jan. 12—Prof. W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilber- force University, slipped on the ice pavement New Year's night, breaking two ribs, and fracturing two.

Next morning Dr. Galloway was called in, who discovered the extent of Mr. Scarborough's injuries. NEW HAVEN CONN NEW HAVEN, Conn.—The old 'year was escorted out and, the new year ushered in with watch meetings. At many of, the churches were lunch, parties, dances, club functions and family reunions. The Boardman apprentice shops of the Boardman high school has become one of the most important branches of the New Haven school system. The students in the apprentice shops have to work eight hours a day winter and summer. For this reason, it is said, many colored boys and girls drop out after they have attended for a few months. George H. London, 662 Orchard street, who has been confined to the house for over a month with pneumonia, is now able to be up about the house. He is improving rapidly. Alomoz R.

Treadwell and Mrs. John A. Hagan. There has been considerable stir and excitement in New Haven the past week over a shooting affair that occurred on May 26, 2010 when Walter Sanford was shot in the hallway of his home, 171 Dixwell avenue. Detectives worked several days trying to clear up the case and finally arrested Harry DuBois, 43 Fatton street, who was bound over to the Superior Court on a charge of assault with intent to kill Walter Sanford. His bonds was placed at $1,000. It is doubtful if there are a set of women in New England who are more active and efficient in fraternal and benevolent societies than the women of New Haven. Ten lodges or societies constitute this great sisterhood, operated and controlled almost absolutely by them. One of the greatest society functions of the past year was given jointly by two of these lodges with the following program: Rose of Sharon Household of Ruth, 276, G. U. O. of O.

At the Lafayette Theatre this week a female orchestra, under the direction of Marie Lucas, is winning unstinted applause at each performance, and although not occupying a spot on the regular, vaudeville bill the female musicians are engaged in a friendly rivalry with the acts for public approval. The orchestra has been installed as a permanent fixture to the house by the management, and the presence of the young women in the orchestra pit is the talk of Harlem. The members of the orchestra are Marie Lucas, piano; Marie Wayne-Townsend, violin; Maude Shelton, cornet; Mazie Mullen, tombstone, and Alice Calloway, drums. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the management hit upon a happy idea in putting in an orchestra composed of talented female musicians. Jolly John Larkins and Jennie Pearl head a strong bill, and the memory of their first vaudeville engagement in Harlem will undoubtedly linger with them for a long time. This turn went big at every appearance and made many new friends. Larkins & Pearl have an act which can make good on either big or small time. Both are artists who have improved season by season. John Larkin ranks among the first of colored comedians and his work is original and clean cut. Jennie Pearl has long been one of our leading soubrettes, and her singing voice, if anything, seems to have grown stronger. In her make-up Miss Pearl uses more judgment than most of our colored female performers. Although naturally of light complexion, she makes herself a light brown for consistency sake. Many of our colored female performers try to make themselves as light as possible. Larkins & Pearl are at the Lafayette the entire week The other acts to excite favorable comment were the Miner Four, Callan & Co., the Magiliss Trio, Williams & Williams, and Happy Simpson. Carita Day and "Stringbeans" will be the features of the bill at the Lafayette next week. A Peculiar Racial Trait. One evening last week I was asked by a white patron: "Why do most of your people laugh during the most tense and serious moments of a sketch?" My answer was: "I really don't know," and then I began to tell how I had noticed this pronounced racial trait many, many months' ago, and had been giving it no little study. It does seem strange, however, that colored theatrégoers invariably see something humorous in a scene, which would cause others to become sad—situations calling more for tears than smiles or laughter. I have noticed this characteristic exhibited at the moving picture show when colored patrons would laugh 'aloud during a pathetic scene, and I have watched hundreds evince a feeling of merriment at the Lafayette Theatre when the actors in a sketch were doing their utmost to provoke tears. During the second half of last week three actors appeared at the Lafayette in a dramatic presentation calculated to bring copious tears. At the first-performance the actors were shocked and for a second lost their mental equilibrium when the audience began to laugh heartily during their most serious scene, when the principal in the cast told about his dying mother. As the actors later remarked, so shocked were they when they heard the auditors laughing in their most tense period that they stopped talking for a brief period and looked about to see who was breaking into their scene. Probably it is due to our natural bent to see the humorous instead of the tragic side of life that we are able to make progress in this country, despite oppression, persecution and race prejudice. It may be that we were to look at things out of sad eyes instead of humorous ones our pathway in life would be more thorny, we would be more susceptible to the slights and wrongs to which we are subjected, and we would go about surmounting obstacles filled more with pessimism than optimism, with less zeal and enthusiasm, and with a heavier heart and a more baseful nature. Even if we do (that is, the majority of colored Americans) break up serious and tense situations with our unfailing good humor, smiles and laughter, we should consider ourselves fortunate to possess a racial trait that serves us in good stead—one that is certainly needed during this crucial period of our existence. More About "Practical Ideas." In last week's issue of THE AGE on "Practical Ideas," the following concluding remarks were omitted by mistake: One must have imagination in order to succeed in life, and no one, rises above the level of mediocrity unless he possesses ideality or is given to picturequee fancy. One must first become an architect and plan out, with the aid of imagination, the undertaking he aspires to carry out, but the practicability of the undertaking should at first be determined and then contrived along practical lines. However, it does not necessarily follow that because a proposition is regarded as impractical to-day that it should be looked upon as such next year, far from it. Time is the great determiner as to whether it is opportune to do this or that. But those of us who make the following resolution, That I will be more practical and less theoretical in 1915, are not looking into the distant future for practical things, but to 1915. The future will take care of itself. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Simms & Thompson played the first half of the week at Davls Theatre, Norwich, Conn.

His program included "Mio Mio Fernandez," "Adelheid Thoven," "Who is Syvlka?" Schubert; "Tailbow Child," Coloridere-Taylor; "Lo the Gentle Lark," Bishop; "Florian's Song," Godard. Miss James work showed improvement and was enjoyed by the students. A. Frazer was the accompanist. Other artists assisting on the program were Miss Mary L. Europe, pianist; Mrs. Emma Lee Williams, reader. Miss Jamesscope is limited in the music and work as a teacher in the public schools requires her stay in Washington. *** It is reported from Memphis, Teen, that the Black Pattl Company, playing "Lucky Sam from Alabama," has disbanded in that town, and that Voeckel, the manager, left the company without paying them.

Craig swings his baton on Monday evening, January 25, for the opening of the pre-Lenten recital at Palm Garden, he will start his musicians into a program of rare and unusual excellence, and one of a character New York music-lovers seldom have a chance to hear. For this occasion he has engaged the services of Mme. Anita Patti Brown, soprano, who possesses a voice of sweetness and culture, and who sings with a finished artistry that makes her work delightful to the hearer. Mme. Broyn has never been heard by a New York audience, for the reason that promoters have never been able to persuade her to appear in this city. Craig did not find it an easy matter to get her name to a concert. He program also to appear Roland W. Wheeler, who sang in New York some time ago. He made a most favorable impression at that time, and critics in other sections who have heard him say his voice has developed in power and sweetness and he has increased in technical ability- Others on the program will be Miss Etta P. Cannon of Jersey City, who will give dramatic readings, and Miss Helen Elise Smith of the Martin-Smith Music School, who will interpret numbers by Chopin, Liszt and Moszkowski. Melville Charlton will be the accompanist, and this announcement alone assures an artistic treat. See complete program on page 8 of this paper. Dancing will be enjoyed at the conclusion of the program, Craig's orchestra of twenty musicians furnishing the music.

At the annual, Rose Tournament, track and field meet held at Pasadena, Cal., New Year's Day, were gathered some 150,000 souls from all parts of the great West. They, came by special trains, overloaded electric cars and crowded automobiles as well as auto-trucks specially fitted up to help take care of the uncommon human traffic. They gathered to see the greatest floral and athletic events in the history of sunny California. One hundred and fifty-six athletes competed, of which nine were Negroes. The colored boys took eight first and two second prizes, including trial heats. Howard Drew took part in five events and broke the tape in first place in each event. The athletic events proved the most interesting and thrilling of the day. Two world's champions were heralded by the megaphone man as they appeared for their respective events—Fred Kelly, the hurdler, and Howard Drew, the spinner, both of the University of Southern California. Drew was seen in action five times, each time breaking the tape a winner. To use a coast phrase, this great Negro has "sure got 'em." In the 220-sprint he rumbled down the lanes lazily, looking across at the more thrilling finish of the chariot race, which was being staged at the same time, or he might have been watching Borgstrom, who about that time was clearing the pole at a twelve-foot attitude. Aud it was a shame the way he took the century, his favorite distance. Romping along at a ten-second clip, he appeared to be trying to catch the eye of the peanut man over in the grand stand. But. Drew was not the only Negro there to swell the pride of the colored folk. There was H. Johnson, also from the U. of S. C., who finished second to Drew in the 100-yard dash and was no farther behind him in the 220. Then there was Brashear, from the Whittier State College, who won his trial heat but unfortunately bowed a tendon in the final of the open 100 trying to speak to Drew. The final of the hundred yards high schools of the State was also won by a colored boy, Pascalh of Los Angeles. Drew added two silver, lowing cups and a red medal to his list of trophies yesterday. CHARGE ROUGH TACTICS. Members of the Incorporators team, which went to Orange to play a return game with the Independent Big Six on January 8, make the charge that they were subjected to roughhands tactics by some of the Jersey rooters. An automatic charge is that Williams, one of the quietest and most gentlely follows on the Incorporators team, was hit by one of the Orange rooters by force of the rest of the game. It is alleged that this was done when Williams was arising from a scrimmage on the side lines. The boys on Madden's team have been a well-behaved set on the home court, and it is said that their behavior under the unpleasant conditions existing with Orange court entitle them to praise. Orange Team Loses in Jersey City In a game at the Phoenix Hall Grand street and Summit avenue, Friday night, January 8, the Lafayette Athletic Club team defeated the Imperials of Orange in a fast game by the score of 20 to 15.

Tomorrow night is the night to see Hampton and Howard clash in their first long basketball game of this season at Manhattan Casino. The game is to be sialed at the clock sharp. The last world received from Physical Director Williams of Hampton is that his men are all privee for the game and his famous Indian duo, Gurnoe and Thomas, with Giyic, undoubtedly one of the best grokes in the day. In the colleges today, will give all the basketball followers some thing long to be remembered in the art of passing and shooting. Although Howard was defeated December 15, the team went into strict training to return to New York and again to clash the practice in the basketball world. Coach Curtile writes that Gilmore is again the "mighty" sender and will show his old time form. Holland at guard is playing the fast, sure game that made Reputation with him here last year.
