NEGRO FARMERS IN CONFERENCE School Workers in Session Next Day After Farmers Considered Ways and Means of Developing Negro Schools in South. SCHOOLS ARE EMBARRASSED Many Schools in South Are Hard Hit Financially Because of War Conditions — Teachers Have Given Up Salaries to Prevent Crippling of School Work. Special to THE NEW YORK AQZ TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Alp., Jan. 26.— To one who was present when the first Tuskegee Negro Conference met at the Tuskegee Institute, twenty-four years ago, and who followed the conferences held during the subsequent ten years, something was missing from the monster crowds which met on January 20 to visit or have part in the Tuskegee Negro Conference of farmers which has just closed. This "something" was the once familiar type of old men and women, carelessly dressed, primitive, timid, but ready to stand up in the conference and tell about their troubles and hindrances. Many times during the day persons who saw the earlier conferences were heard to remark that there was a difference—that the old bandana handkerchief is seldom seen now at the conference, that coattess, discouraged men seldom appear as of old, and that few persons ever come now to tell of their "troubles." How Program Has Changed. The old men and women were here to-day in numbers as of yore; but the habits, manners, dress and general views of things which made them so picturesque some twenty years ago have largely disappeared. Twenty-four years ago the Tuskegee Negro-Conference was started with the idea of helping encourage the people to get out of debt, and to abandon the one-room cabins for better and more comfortable homes. Steadily the conference "pegged" away with these objects in view. Slowly improvements began to be observed, and year after year the farmers began to come back and tell proudly how they had gotten off of debt and had added more rooms to their houses. The conference widened its program and began working for better teachers better ministers and longer school terms. Very soon there was added to the program a campaign for the ownership of homes and land. Visitors to the conference, from all parts of the South, caught the inspiration of the slogan "Buy a home and some land; get a good preacher and keep him; lengthen the school term and employ a worthy teacher"; and these visitors went back home and sent the message far and wide. If you can examine the trouble to examine the United States Constitution, you will see the proceedings of the Tuskegee Conference he will find that Negroes made the greatest advance in home ownership during the period—1900-1910—in which the Tuskegee Conference was hammering home the entreaty to colored people in the South. "Buy a home! Get some land, if only a few acres!" Co-operation Emphasized. And so the program has widened until to-day the dominant note was and is crop diversification and the raising at home of food enough for man and beast. The old type visitor and delegate has gone, but in its place is another made-up of men and women who are hearting how to live. Always practical, always determined to examine and discuss those questions which immediately touch the life of the great masses of Negroes in the rural sections of the South, the Tuskegee Annual Negro Conference concluded a remarkable session here to-day—remarkable in that all generalities were laid aside and all agencies which the Tuskegee Institute could employ—its agricultural and academic faculties, the views of visitors, the national Negro Farmer, a journal published here, and the experiences of the farmers and workers—were directed toward showing just how the people can meet the present hard times in the South caused by the failure of their cotton market. Agricultural Parade. It was realized and special stress laid upon the fact that the colored people must cooperate heartily with the owners of large plantations and with those merchants who furnish supplied to colored farmers, in reducing the amount of food and supplies which have to be brought. Accordingly, every speech made, every report given, gathered around the field of meeting the present hard work, and Dr. Booker Washington did not permit anyone to turn aside from the field. This twenty-fourth annual conference it is certain that not less than 1,000 people had gathered—farmers, their wives and children, teachers, min- 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. on the institute experiment plat. The process of ginning and grading cotton was exhibited while the parade moved; and, at the same time, quantities of home-made fertilizer composed of leaves, swamp muck, pine straw, barnyard manure, etc. were mixed in the presence of the beholders. It is realized that the colored farmer will be encouraged to diversify his crops only as he is convinced that other products besides cotton, can be successfully grown on his own farm and by other colored farmers. Keeping this in mind; those in charge of the parade-loaded the farm crops/vision float with such crops as sweet potatoes, oats in sheaves, sack oats, oat-straw hay, and crab-grass hay. In addition, there were shown the farming implements needed to handle these crops, such as a thresher, baler and seeder. Cause of Hard Times. On the orchard float were shown a tree planter, and young, men pruning and spraying fruit trees; while the truck garden showed a variety of vegetables and indicated how they are prepared for market and exhibited the method of selling them from a wagon. Other floats showed a dairy and cremery, a poultry, piggery, and meat house; from the canning factory; horses and mules; cotton and corn; individual floats; the new and the old—rural church, etc.; the rural school; hospital aid—children house. Slowly the long line passed from the starting point, to Carnegie Lilary, where a monster reviewing stand had been erected for the special guest. The spectacle was imposing, but eloquent in its showings of what can be done on the farm through intelligent efforts. At last the long procession reached the chapel, where, at 11 o'clock, the session began. the chapel was packed. Prominent educators, white and colored, had seats on the platform. Around the walls were a number of charts showing some of the causes of the present hard times, the main one being that too much cotton and too little corn are produced. For instance, it was shown that Negrens grow $340,000,000 worth of cotton and only $161,000,000 worth of all other farm products combined, a ratio of one dollar's worth of cotton for every forty-five cents' worth of all other farm products. The charts showed in detail the value of all farm products grown in various States by Negro farmers for every dollar's worth of cotton. To give but a few examples: The Arkansas colored farmer grows 30 cents' worth of all other crops for every dollar's worth of cotton he produces; in Georgia, the colored man produces 40 cents' worth of other crons for his dollar's worth of cotton; in Louisiana, 55 cents' worth DR. F. A. McKENZIE I8 NEW FISK PRESIDENT At a meeting of the board of trustees of Fisk University, recently held at the offices of Paul D. Cravath, New York, Dr. Fayette Avery McKenzie, at present associate professor of Sociology, at the University, 011, Ohio, Columbus, was elected president. Those present at the meeting included Paul D. Cravath, Dr. C. J. Kyder, Dr. L. Sipimois, Dr. A. F. Beard, and Dr. Booker A. Washington. The absent trustees endorsed, in advance, a formal action taken by the trustees at the meeting just held at Mr. Cravath's office. A long and exhaustive investigation has been made to secure a man in every way fitted for the position. The trustees are now satisfied that they have found the right man. He is recommended and endorsed by Dr. Thomas-Jesse Jones of the Bureau of Education at Washington, Dr. H. B. Frissell, Principal of the Hampton Institute, Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania, and many others. Dr. McKenzie's record is a notable one. He received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1900; was assistant professor of Economics and Sociology at the Ohio State University for five years, and since 1912 has served as associate professor of Sociology at the University of Ohio. As an organizer of social settlement work, Dr. McKenzie is without-peer in the country. He is the first, and has been to date the only president of the Public Recreation Commission of the City of Columbus, and has done a splendid work in organizing and developing that, feature of work under the 'auspices of the City of Columbus and the University of Ohio. It is expected that he will begin actual work as president of Fisk next July. NO COLOR LINE FOR CINCINNATI MAYOR Special to Tue. New York Act CINCINNATI. O., Jan. 26—Mayor Spiegel has issued orders to Safety Director Holmes that the word "white" he stricken from rules of qualification for membership in the fire department. Several days ago the civil service commission rejected six applications of Negroes which had been filed, and this action caused a protest by the Negroes who claimed that it was a violation of their constitutional rights. Following the mayor's order, R. B. Thompson, 427 Mill street, appeared before Surgeon Hogen, Box and Hall, but was rejected because of twenty-one pounds over weight and deficiency in height. The mayor has stated that so long as he is in office there will be no distinction because of color or race in applications for public positions John S. Fielding, president of the Fraternal League, composed of the Negro organizations of the city, directed the appeal to the mayor which brought about the change in service requirements. ALABAMA SCHOOL IS DAMAGED BY FIRE Special In the New York Act GEIGER, ALA, Jan. 26.—The West Alabama Agricultural and Industrial Institute, Arthur W. Mitchell, principal, lost the chapel and dormitory by fire on the morning of Wednesday, January 13, about 10 o'clock. The principal and teachers were biny hearing classes when a pupil gave the alarm. The roof was ablaze and was only by the most strenuous effort that the school piano and some of the trucks belonging to the headquarters wereaved. President Mitchell in an effort to save some of the students' effects was caught in an upper story and had to jump from an attic window to save himself. He was badly shaken but not seriously hurt. The buildings will be replaced with brick structures. Loss suffered was about $15,000, on which an insurance of only $3,000 was carved. Harry Baker, born tenor, 129 West 32d street, founder of the Harlem Conservatory of Music. Each offers instruction in music, vocal education and voice music, he developing his great competence and well-known projects of singing grand Mr. Baker requires the necessary qualifications for operatic work and has set about to become its competent. John Lorenz of the Metropolitan Opera House is giving induction in voice culture. Prof. Hale, of the Cincinnati College, and the foundation on the piano, Mrs.ville Charlain gave additional instruction on the piano and in harmony and sight singing. Mr. Baker has given several successful recitals in and around New York singing selections from the well-known operas and rendering some excellent readings. The last recital was given January 26, 1914, and the next will be rendered April 26, 1915. Mr. Baker opened the first school of voice, culture in Harlem and has had very successful pupils. As a teacher of elocution he points with pride to the work of Miss A. Shoulders, Mme. Lott Green and Mys. Laura Callaway, Mme. Auffray, Jackson and Mme. Venus Whittington have shown marked development and advancement in voice culture under Mr. Baker's tutorage. He has about thirty pupils. Gainful Occupations. Other successful persons in Harlem who are in gainful occupations are as follows: A. Pendleton is a preacher of a story at 55 West 132d street, where he supplies many hundreds of customers with groceries and delicatessen foodstuffs, including many products from the South—peas, beans, meal, sweet potatoes and colored greens. Mr. Pendleton plans to enlarge his store and will soon have twice the present space. In the new store Mr. Pendleton plans to deal more extensively in the products of the South which are different from the products raised in the North. His competitors have not realized the market for Southern commodities, hence there is almost no competition. Eugene Braston is porter. J. H. Deville, 124- West 132d street, is manager and proprietor of the "Little Tailor Shop." Low rent, made possible by utilizing the ground floor of his residence for the shop, enables Mr. Deville to clean and press suits for 25 centes each. Suits for ladies and gentsen are made to order and, Mr. Deville is one of the few cohorted men who buys and sells slightly used clothes. At 2219, Seventh avenue Daniel J. Mason is manager of the Turner clothes, hat and shoe cleaning parlors. The shop is noted for the excellent service given its patrons. Plans to Get Business. C. Brown has recently moved his tailor shop from 451 Lenox avenue to 46 West 132d street, where he has more space and cheaper rent, which enables him to give his customers better service. Mr. Brown believes in keeping his business before the public. Whenever a HARVEY BAKER new family moves in the vicinity Mr. Brown immediately calls upon them and explains what he has to offer. After he has obtained a hearing, in this manner and follows it up with good treatment and excellent work, the members of the family are always his customers. Mr. Brown also makes at frequent intervals a personal canvass of the homes in his neighborhood and leaves advertising matter at each house. J. W. Smith conducts the Murray House at 102 West 132nd street, and serves meals from 7 a. m. to 9 p. m. He offers neatly furnished rooms with baths and all modern improvements. The lower floor of the private house is a well-fitted-up 'dining' room, in which Miss Elizabeth White, an experienced waitress, renders perfect service. Mrs, Lizzie Smith is cook. 'Mr. Smith managed a restaurant at 322' West '41st street for five years. Young Girl Tonsorialist. George Godfrey, 15 West 132d street, manager and proprietor of the College Tonsorial Parlors, has been in the present location one year and uses three up-to-date white porcelain hydraulic barber chairs. The color scheme of the shop is white, and is kept neat and clean. Mr. Godfrey is assisted by W. J. Hamilton and Miss Reila Major, a young girl. Miss Major has been, with him about five months and is rapidly becoming an expert tonsorialist. Mrs. A. M. Johnson conducts a rooming house with dining on the ground floor at 130 West 132d street. Mrs. Johnson's house is more on the order of a private home, as her roomers have been with her for five to twelve years. Mrs. Johnson was formerly located at -265 West 53d street. Mrs. Laura Buchanan, 328 West 53d street, has recently taken the agency for Mune, C. J. Walker's hair grower. Mrs. Buchanan has already given successful demonstration to a large number of patrons. NATIONAL HEALTH WEEK FROM MARCH 31 TO 37 FROM MARCH 21 TO 27 The following communication has been sent out by the president of the National Negro Business League, present at the observance of national health week by the Negroes of the country; Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—After carefully considering the whole matter, I am authorised by the executive committee of the National Negro Business League to invite the following organizations, as well as others to be napped organizers, in the league in observing a public health Week: Daily and weekly newspapers; health journals; The National Medical Association; The National Association of Teachers of Colored Women's Clubs; The National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes; The National Association of Teachers of Colored Women's Press Association; the bishops and other officers of colored religious denominations; State Medical Associations; Annual church conferences; National associations; several organizations; Colored organizations; Farmers' Conferences; Farmers' Improvement Societies; Churches, schools, and other organizations; Alabama Louisiana, North Carolina, and other states special Health Days have at one time or another been observed. For some years the organization Leadership May Motton, has observed a Health or Cleanup Week. It is thought to be well to unite all these efforts into one effort to the Virginia effort. It is thought the race will welcome this opportunity to unite all these efforts is one great national health agreement, and this will be a fundamental and enthulism from the unified movement. Health Necessary to Success. Without health and until we reduce our rich death rate it will be impossible for us to have permanent enduring fitness in our education and to show other evidences of progress. Without health and long life all else fails! The following facts will illustrate something of the need and importance of this health movement: 450,000 Negroes in the South alone are seen in all the annuaries in the sickness of these 450,000 Negroes is $725,000,000. 112,000 Negro workers in the South alone are seen in all the annuaries in the sickness of these 112,000 Negroes are presentable. 225,000 Negroes of the working class, the annually 100,000 of these deaths can be preserved. The annual funeral expenses of Negroes in the South alone are $150,000,000. $650,000 of this amount could be saved. Sickness and death cost Negroes of the South alone, $100,000,000; fifty million of this amount could be saved. Sickness and death rate. Death disease and enthrone health and long life. We may differ, on other subjects, but there is no room for differences here. Let us make a plan of education and to show other evidences of progress. PRESIDENT NATIONAL NEGRO RETIRING. PORTER GIVEN GOLD MEDAL WILLIAMSORT, PA, January 27.—For his faithful service as porter on the general superintendent's private car, Job Jones, dean of the Pennsylvania Railroad porters, whose service of 30 years extended from 1878 to 1914, when he retired has just been presented with a gold medal by General Superintendent H.

WARN TEACHER TO MOVE ATTEMPT TO FIRE HOUSE Special to THE NEW YORK ACE NEW ORLEANS, LA, Jan. 26—Following a warning sent in November that he should move out of his handsome home at 1112 Bordeaux street, and "move across the street in those small houses suited for Negroes," which warning was signed "Committee of White Men," Professor Bell, teacher in one of the schools frustrated; an attempt to burn his house when he was awakened and found paner and matting afire in his kitchen. The floor had been saturated, with oil. Bolie Sergeant Anderson and Deputy Fire Marshal Callahan believe they have a clew to the identity of the writer of the letter and the incendiary. WAVE OF INDIGNATION INCITED BY LYNCHING WOMEN SWEEPS LAND Excoriations of the State of Georgia By Leading Newspapers, North and South Brings Statement From Governor GOV. SLATON SAYS CRITICISMS ARE UNFAIR TO GA. Makes Comparison of Labor Revolts in Northern States Against Organized Law With Outrages by Mobs on Helpless and Unarmed Prisoners. BUT GEORGIA DAILIES DEMAND PUNISHMENT OF CRIMINALS Strong Protests and Letters from Representative Neges Voice Attitude of Race Under Stress of its Affliction and Call on the Truehearted People of the country for Justice. New York Globe Dissects Governor's Statement. The lynch, on Thursday, January 14, of two men and women by a mob of white fiends at Monticello, Ga., has stirred the country from one end to the other. Not only have the colored people held meetings and denounced the outrage, but many of the white people are expressing, in unmeasured terms, horrified indignation that lawless molls should be exercising so complete a sway. specially condemn the South, or to condemn Georgia? Is it not dictated by a high sense of justice to declare that contempt for the law and its orderly processes is prevalent so a more or less extent everywhere, but has no particular geography? Obstant not the good people in every section of this country use their best efforts in an educational work and other efforts to urge upon the people the benefit of obeidence to law and respect for their institution? No, I approve in Paris endangering life, in London we find some antigued people blowing up mansions and palaces and even threatening Westminster Hall. The same is through in other European countries. Many travelled all over the South in perfect country, we believed, but United States, only to be murdered in the city of Belfast. President Garfield yielded his life in the Just one week exactly after the Monticello outrage, on Thursday, January 21, Peter Morris, a Negro, was taken from the custody of the sheriff of Early County, Ga., and lynched. Advices from Arlington, Ga., are that Morris was charged with the murder of a farmer, but no proof had been adduced to show his guilt. The outbreaks of mob violence, taking such peculiarly atrocious shape, aroused a storm of criticism from the press of the country. That this criticism of Georgia has been effective is shown by the fact that Governor John M. Slaton has issued a long statement, in which he attempts the defense of the State by etting instances in Massachusetts and New Jersey where the law was defied and lives lost as a result of revolt against the constituted authorities. He did not state that outbreaks in Massachusetts and New Jersey were by mobs against law officers and not against defenseless and helpless men and women in the custody of the law. The Governor's statement is as follows: I am receiving copies of culturals from newspapers and from the University in Monticello, and contain a centuries of the State of Georgia. One editorial begins: "There are dark days in Georgia. This is a demonstration of the attitude of the State, of the crime in Limerick County." : Declares Criticisms Unfair. In perfect good humor I submit to the fun- mished editors of these papers that the crita- tion and spirit of their articles is unfair to Georgia, and that the examination of the law there has been less against the law in this and sister States than in many other sections from which these articles come, beijing at Montpellier was done in the mime, one previous intimation of attack, and three others of defense officers were masked and unknown. The crime sought the protection of darkness and the escape of southernness, we find in other sections of the country. Hardly a year has elapsed since in Massachusetts there was an open revolt for weeks against the law, and it was necessary to call on soldiers to quell the insurrection against the authorities existed in the open day. Within a week a deputy sheriff shot into a row of men in New Jersey, where there was in open attack on life and property, and there was an impeachment disregard of all Constitutional protection. I am informed that a few years ago a Negro shot a policewoman in New ork city and a group of men pursued and beat every Negro person. Similar incidents will be recalled as having happened in Illinois and various portions of the West. In one of the towns of Illinois the New- ies were attacked and beaten, if not killed, and the police were observed that these events took place in populous communities, where there was every power of municipal and State government to control the malefactors, while in Montclair, a rural county, the attack was unman- flicted. Lynchors Sent to enitentiary. A few years ago in a county adjoining this a mob killed some Negroes and the good people of the community, through their grand jury, tried to kill a white man, a white men, who were found guilty, and three of them were sent to the penitentiary for life and four were sent to the penitentiary for varying charges. At Monticello, the good people, in mass meeting, condemned the offense of the lynchers and promised their aid in punishing the criminals; the court in Jauser County will shortly heed, the court in Monticello will shortly commit their best efforts in vindicating the law. As Governor of the State I have offered a reward, the largest amount allowed by law, of $10,000 for the arrest, with proof of convict the first five men, who shall be found guilty. The press of the South, with unannounced, has condemned the affair in Jauser county, and people everywhere in its incarment. Some Farfetched Comparisons. It is just and fair therefore, in view of the History of events taking place in the North and East, and every part of the nation, each day and recorded in the press dispatches, to es- especially condemn the South, or to condemn Georgia? Is it not dictated by a higher sense of justice to declare that contempt for the law and order is ordained more or less extent everywhere, but has no particular geography? Ought not the good people in every section of this country use their bastardry to urge upon the national law the best attitude to law and respect for their institution? We find Apaches in Paris endangering list; in London we find some misguided people blowing Westminster palaces and even threaten Westminster Hall; the same is through in other European countries. Mr. McKinley traveled all over the South in public protection while President of the United States Garfield inured in the city of Baffalo. President Garfield yielded his life, the capital of the nation. I submit that everywhere are there illustrations of violence similar to that which occurred in Montecchio, and the fault cannot be defined by boundaries of latitude or language. Georgia Papers Demand Action. The reward offered by the Governor is $500 for the arrest, and conviction of five men of the mob, totaling $2,500, it remains to be seen whether it will be effective in uncovering any of the participants in the recent lynching. Comments from newspapers all over the country show unanimous condemnation of the Monticello mob. The Georgia white daily papers are outspoken and join in the general denunciation of mob law. Speaking of the Monticello victims and their status before the law, the Augusta Chronicle, published at Augusta, Ga., said: 'When they were put under arrest and were incarcerated in the county jail, they became charges of the State. The law then became particularly charged with their safe-guarding. The law was holding them for the law. Had them been held in their jurisdiction, person, helpless to defy the law, Had not taken to hold them to answer to the law. Had made them powerless to physically protect them. They, by numbers of men, should have been taken out and slam, was a defiance of the law, and an indigency to the law and a disregard of the law which must not be overridden, and which the law must justify. State must punish. Else, there will be no law, and might well have been set up as the law of our people. The Daily Constitution, published at Atlanta, Ga., declared editorially that if this outrage could go unpunished something is seriously wrong with the State, and that, it is a smear upon the good name of the State. The following is the editorial, with others from New York papers: The announcement that Judge J. B. Park and Solitaire General Joseph K. Pattie of the benniger circuit, are investigating the details of the benniger circuit, will probably be taken by the executive department, is significant as indicating that the enormity of this horrible offense is so imminent that it will be encouraged in this state to lead encouragement to the hope that the perpetrators will be brought to justice and punished as they should be. In the case in many, many years has provoked such universal condemnation, as the Jasper county Lynchin, in which two Negro men and two women were convicted of a crime, has been executed by a mob, the vicious harm has been caused of operating a blind tiger, and of assaulting an officer who caught them in the act. In violating the law and they unjustly have been convicted through the usual process of law. But to resort to lynch law under these conditions is a lapse in brutality and barbarity which every decent Georgian must condemn. It is a sad commentary upon law and order and the administration of justice in this State where things can happen without the offenders being caught. It is a sad commentary. Things of this kind smear the good name of the State and seriously react against its business, its prosperity, and its development. It is a sad commentary on this kind go unpunished in Georgia? It is something seriously wrong with the State. It is quite natural that Georgians should feel keenly the criticism levelled at their State following the recent atrocious lynching at Montclair, where his son, and two daughters, that the threeright home is evidenced by a statement just issued by Governor Staton, in which he asserts that lawlessness is no more prevalent in Georgia than in New York, north and east, from which sections has come a flood of editorial censure. In brief, he thinks it exceedingly bad taste for the pot to call like black. No, he will question Governor Staton's statement that there is everywhere more or less contempt for the law and its orderly process. This contempt, as he says, has no priority to the law, but to the law itself, the L. W. W. labor troubles in Massachusetts some month ago, to the shooting of preacher attackers at Roosevelt, N. J., the other day; to the outrages in England. All the more matic of one kind or of other of lawlessness it is true, but pot of the lawlessness it 'encourage ages the wanton butchery of helpless human beings Lynch law is the most brutal and desperate form of crime. Only the most maddian of sentinel officers, and that, only on the ground that the misguided would presume to excuse appeal to what is known an the unwritten law. It is less demeaning than any other form of lawlessness known to us. It belongs to the days when there were no arts, no letters, no society, when man was in constant fear and danger of violent death, when the man was brutish and short. It is an insult to civilization. Unfortunately for Georgia the impression that the south more or less condones the lynching of Negroes has become, well grounded in the history of the South, an poison to punish the perpetrators of such crimes. The racial hatred against the Negro, apparently inborn in many southerners, has often found free expression in unappealable outrages. In conference years, the Negro's year after year, no tone is left untroubled to further the propaganda against the Negro to derive him of the rights he is entitled to under constitution. "Jim Crowman" has run trial. Opinion has been carried to the utmost extreme. Georgia, it may be said for, her, has been no more guilty of crime against the Negro than other southern states. If anything, perhaps she has been less intolerant of them. Governor Slater has been more intolerant of which lynched some. Negroes in a county joining the one in which the latest outrage occurred were sent to prison for the offense. He says, every effort will be made to punish those people of the anticivilian lynching. The good people of the State of Georgia press in denoufcing it and calling for swift recitative justice. It is to be hoped their prayers will be granted. LYNCHING. (From the New York Times.) Use has bred a habit. No longer are lynchings committed solely for "the usual crime." A case, of disfurderly conduct, a case of resistance, or of murder, is the organized murder of in and even women. The evil has grown. The time is near, if indeed it is not already at hand, when the fact that a man is "shud nigger" will he enough to commit a murder. Lynchings are committed mostly by cowards, and quite largely by the riff-raff of the neighborhood, inspired by rum. But in most cases there are a few man heiress who are men of the elite, and the activity is the excuse of the whisky-sailed riff-raff who follow them. If an attempt is made to punish them, their standing in the vienna, their manager and pose, and the "sympathy of the victim," is the excuse of the concluding. Not until these men, the real criminal's, are sternly dealt with in some outstanding trial will the reproach that hangs over them be repressed, some by some Goon≠on, if some southern Judge should just once real interpidity and fearlessness of consequences in dealing with what has become a dastardly and common crime, lynching would be the only way, as any other fellow in the particular State. Let us hope that we may see that they come. THE RACE SPEAKS OUT LAST Sunday morning a congregation or more than one thousand Negroes assented in St. Mark's Mt. Olive Church, the Rev W.H. Brooks pastor, West 51st street, New York City, gave expression to its demand for protection under the law in the following pro-terrorist which was unanimously adopted: "We recent outbreaks of the most spirituous outbreak states of the South but especially in Montcloa, Georgia is deplorable. "We enter our emphatic condemnation against lynching and mob violence wherever manifested, as being unchristian and unhuman for in many instances the pre-terrorist violence of the war the crime for which they are invoked.

We regularly commend the Press of the whole country for its justice and fearless utterances in behalf of Christian civilization and the impartial administration of the law; and sincerely approve the Office of the Governors of the Office of the States for their morale effort to bring to the face of Justice the guilty parties. "No Government is strong enough to be indifferent, to the wrongs continually heaped upon ten millions of disastrous and highly disastrous of its justice and thereby grunted at its policy toward them, God is not dead." Letters are coming from all sections of the country, voicing the indignation and affrontance of the race because of the injustices heaped upon it and the outrage to which it is subjected. The following are some of the letters received at the Age office: To the Editor of The Age. I wonder if any of your 'Southern airways have considered the question of whether not a municipal corporation is liable for mob violence. The way in which 'our lives in the Southland hang in the distance lately is appalling. The slightest breeze might cause it to swing in the wrong direction, and the result is one too well known to the civilized world, or one with great deal of interest in our florid landscapes in the South and of the tough strides that they are making to better the civic and moral conditions among the colored people. Are they concerned in protecting that divine gift that they to all, the right to live? A serious question, possibly, had ever lived in the South and had changed the South, I would not feel like using some energetic and bright lawyer to commence proceedings on behalf of those who have been damaged because of mob violence. And I pray you of any action is ever taken, some day every day I meet it, our most successful Negro business who say a Negro lawyer is not qualified to look after Negro's interests. While I have not examined the statutes of the various Statutes in which these, severe crimes have been and are cited in the view of the decision of the Supreme Court, Kansas decided last month, December, 1914, and reported in vol. 144 Pacific Reports at page 816. I cannot help but feel that some liability attaches to some municipal corporations in the South; municipal corporations is a Statute making cities liable for damages resulting from mob violence. The Court has decided in this case that the city was liable to damages, what damages do you think a municipality can make to a to where an entire family, including the weakest of the human race—woman, has been lynched? What do our Southern lawyers and men of prominence and influence think of this proposition? JAMES C. THOMAS, JR. Attorney at Law, 203 broadway, New York City. J. C CUNNINGHAM Washington. D. C. To the Editor of The Age. The horrible lynching of an entire family of colored people at Monticello, Ga., on the 15th of January, was enough to shock the barbarians of the darkest ages of the world, to say mutilation of the human beings of this present century was not just think "A man, his son and two daughters were taken from jail and lynched by a mob of savage white men." It is too shocking to hear of the lynching of the men of our race, when the power of the courts, and everything else, is in the hands of the white women, when it comes to lynching the women in our community, met with a vigorous protest. There is not another race of people on the face of God's green earth, other than the Negro race, that would stand for this continued lynching of their men and women without making trouble for the awards in the community in which the lynchings took place. But the colored people, the long suffering people. For many years have been waiting, patiently, for justice before the courts. If one of the race commits a crime he should be punished after he has had a fair trial in a jury. And with everything in the hands of the white man there is not only no excuse for lynching, but there always will be lynching as long as the colored people sit still and endorse it by their silence. This lynching of colored citizens of this country seems to be going from bad to worse. And it is high time for the sailing Nexgrens of the race to be used for their own personal gain, and strive to do something for the general welfare of the entire race alike. We as a much persecuted people must get together and strive to awake the consciousness of the lynching of the men and women of our race. How can this be done? Is the question. It can be done very easily. The first and most important thing to be done, is to get the attention of the people, the whole people. Let us take, instance, the Anti-Slavery League of this county got the attention of the whole nation. These people formed great delegations, composed of members from every state in the Union, and marched to the capital, where they presented their cause to the lawmakers of this country. Now, Mr. Editor, it is high time for the colored people to "wake up" and get to work against this dreadful lynching of our people. Let there be no more lynching of our people in every state of this Union, such delegates to meet in Washington, D.C., on a certain day (before this Congress adjourns) and petition the President and Congress of the United States of America, breaking up this uncalled for lynching of the men and women of our race. A march down Pennsylvania avenue, about twenty thousand strong, with lanners representing each state, with worlds, down the street, lynching, Up West Law and Order" in arresting thereon, would go a long way in arresting the attention of the law-abiding white people of this country. The horrible lynching of four men and women, in Georgia does not only disgrace all the states of the Union stand miss disgraced. The leading men and women of our race should get together now, and bring this matter to the attention of their Senators and Representatives in Congress. Let every the United States Congress stand up and be counted. We believe we have legions of white Greeks in this country today—just written by Floyd Garrison, Charles Summers and other great friends of the col- ored race—who are in deep sympathy with us, and are ready and willing to join us in the effort to break up this cursed lynching business. But the police, with theirselves to take the initiative, stop in this movement. They are the sufferers. J. C. CUNNINGHAM. Washington, D. C. EDITOR MURPHY'S WIFE SERIOUSLY ILL Special to THE NEW YORK ACE BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 27. — Mrs. Martha E.

Ransom, representing the Y. W. C. A. solo, Mrs. Ethel Calloway Fearing; benefaction Thomas J. Bell, secretary Y. M. C. A. the following was the resolution read by Mr. Jones and adopted by the meeting: A friend of all mankind has passed from our mortal vision, into immortality with the death of grace H. Dodge. Her devoted services to mankind in many fields of philanthropy have been so generous and beautiful, and the Negroes of our nation and of this city have been so often and so practically helped by her thought and service for them, that the Young Women's Christian Association, the Young Men's Christian Association, the White Rose Industrial Association—the Hope Day Nursery and the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes desire to place upon their records their gratitude to our Heavenly Father for such a life, and an expression of the sadness of the members of the several organizations at the loss of such a friend. Be it therefore SOLVED, that these organizations give public expression of their regrets means of a public memorial meeting, and that copies of these obitutions be published through the local press.

The National Negro Business League, through its President, Dr. Booker T. Washington, is making an appeal to the entire race to observe a national "Health Week." The date set for its observance is the week of March 21 to 27. No more vitally important matter could be brought before the attention of our people than our health as a race. Pesthaps the most serious enemy, with which we have to contend is the widespread ignorance of the laws of health, hygiene and sanitation. So do anything we have first got to live; and to do anything well we have got to have good health; and to have good health we have got to learn and practice the laws of health. "We believe it is better, wiser and more just, to make many men comfortable than to make a few very rich." A glance at statistics shows our conditions to be alarming. In fact, so alarming that they give hope to some people that we will eventually die out under civilization. Civilization is not killing us, only ignorance. "A Health Week" has already been established and observed in several cities and communities, and a great deal of good has been accomplished. We bespeak for the Business League the hearty co-operation of the race in this movement. BISHOP HURST ON HAITI. In the current issue of the A. M. E. Review Bishop John Hurst has an article on Haiti which is not only interesting, but contains information of vital importance Haiti, that much maligned country, that only spot on earth where Negroes control a real government and so recognized by the nations of the world, this unfortunate little republic which is now going through such a crisis in its affairs, ought to be a matter of special concern to us. The fate of all of the smaller and weaker Latin-American states hangs in the balance, but the fate of Haiti, as Bishop Hurst shows, is more critical than that of any of the others. This sounds like socialism. Perhaps it is. If so, there is this much, at least, about socialism that is right. The article contains a fund of facts and figures and is more than well worth reading. But the most remarkable result of this humane experiment is the proof that righteousness is even more than its own reward. In spite of the fact that Mr. Ford has increased wages, shortened hours and distributed a share of the profits among his workmen, he, nevertheless, finds himself growing richer, instead of being made popper. Last year showed an increase of 15, per cent. in the efficiency of his workmen, a total business of $90,000,000, and a profit of $25,000,000. Other manufacturers who are grinding down their employees, paying them as little and working them as long as possible, who are squeezing out every penny of profit, these manufacturers are crying hard times. It looks as though, the Republicans at Albany are going to pass the Suffrage Bill. If they do they will not only be playing good politically, but they will be displaying good sense. Women are 'entitled to the vote and they are going to get it. The Republicans will be wise to gain the credit of giving it to them. COMMENDING THE AGE ```markdown ``` We can only add that we hope Mf. Ford's idea is so big that a man's color is no bar to his sharing in the blessing of being a workman in the Ford factories. Writes Opinion and Information. To the Editor of The Age: I am thoroughly enjoying Jim Johnson's writings. 'He is splendid. I hope he will continue to push him.' I wrote stuff that is opinion and information at the same time. The Union of American Hebrew Congregations is now in convention. On the opening day the report of the board of delegates on civil rights was read. Among other things, the report contained the following: ROHERT H. TERRELL Munipality Washington, D. C. "Like Old Wine Mellows With Age." To the Editor of The AGE. For a few weeks I have been reading the editorials of James W. Johnson in The Age, and I want now to tell you about Mr. Johnson and his style. He old wine, mellow, with age. That is not saying that he is aged, either. In its whole report the board of delegates on civil rights claimed that it had found any cases of discrimination against Jews. Here we have an example of prejudice minus discrimination. That there is prejudice against the Jews is a well known fact; among some people this prejudice is stronger than against Negroes; but it appears from this report that the Jews have reached the place in this country where people dare not discriminate against them no matter what feelings of prejudice they may have. GEORGE A. TOWNS. A. U., Atlanta, Georgia Johnson Adds Character and Substance To the Editor of The Age. In securing Mr. James W. Johnson I think you have added gonnieu character to my collection. I am a writer of splendid ability, almost unmatched among our men, and beaded together in a substantial in those characteries most to be desired by the paper. This is the place that we are striving to reach. Of course, we do not wish people to have feelings of prejudice against us; but, after This recalls an incident which happened when I was going crossing the Atlantic. The man who sat at one side of me in the dining saloon at the first meal did not sit here again during the trip. Just before we reached New York, a yellow passenger spoke of the matter to me and said that the man had asked the steward to change his seat; and, moreover, he had tried to get the other passengers to join in a general protest against my presence in the dining saloon. My fellow passenger seemed curious to know what I thought of such conduct. I sad to him, "I do not object to anyone having prejudices so long as those prejudices do not interfere with my personal liberty. The man I are speaking of had a perfect right to change his seat if I in any way interfered with his appetite or his digestion. I would have no reason to complain if he removed to the farthest corner of the saloon, or even if he got off the ship; but, when his prejudice attempts to move me, then I object." It may be a great many years before we shall be able to overcome the prejudice against us, but we have the right to demand that discrimination which is prejudice put into practice, shall end at once. We cannot hope to change in a day people's opinion of us, but we have the reasonable right to demand an instant change in their treatment of us. It will take years of patient work and development together with the liberation and elevation of both blacks and whites to do away entirely with prejudice, but discrimination is a thing that can and should be killed outright. In a great many ways, the Jews are the example which we should set before us for solving our own problem. GOVERNOR SLATON ON LYNCHING: Governor Slaton of Georgia has chafed considerably under the editorial criticism in the Northern newspapers regarding the lynching at Monticello. In a telegram to the New York "World" he resents the term "uncivilized" being applied to Georgia and Georgians: He goes on to state that lawlessness is not confined to Georgia or to the South—which is true—and he promises to do all in his power to bring to justice those guilty of this latest crime against law. We believe the Governor is in earnest, but why did he need to say, "Of course, the provocation was great?" We have yet to hear a Southern man speak out for justice and right to the Negro without offering some sort of apology to prejudiced Southern opinion. Governor Slaton has offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of each of the first five members of the Monticello mob. Now, while we know that not one of the mob is really worth $500—we doubt whether the devil would give that much for the whole lot—yet we feel that each one of the crowd is wanted more than $500 worth. Isn't the arrest and conviction of these enemies of law, order and civilization worth more than $500 a piece to the State of Georgia? On top of the Monticello affair, the following despatch comes up from the Empire State of the South: ARLINGTON, Ga., Jan. 22 - Peter Morris, a Negro charged with the murder of a farmer, was taken from the custody of the Early County Sheriff late last night and lynchied. We can understand that the citizens of Arlington just threw this little lynching off, sort of careless like, to show how much they cared about outside opinion. VIEWS AND REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON CONTRIBUTING EDITOR FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD The Congressional Record is very interesting reading. In fact, it is more entertaining than some of the monthly periodicals sold over the newsstands; it is funnier than some of the comic sheets in the Sunday papers. It also contains some curious things. Listen to these words uttered by Mr. Quinn of Texas in his discussion of the Immigration bill: "No Negro is good enough to associate with a white man." That is really funny, isn't it? Wouldn't it know, Mr. Quinn cold to know that there are colored people in this country with whom he himself might find difficulty in qualifying as an acceptable associate. Mr. Dies of Texas spoke against the Exclusion amendment. Mr. Dies, however, was an earnest advocate of the Immigration bill. He spoke strongly against the African exclusion clause for the reason that he feared its adoption would defeat the original bill. Listen to this heartrending appeal of Mr. Dies to his colleagues: Mr. Speaker, if this original bill is enacted into law, it will keep out 300,000 of the undesirables of Europe. There are many of us who have striven for this for years and years, and I appeal to the gentlemen who are supporting this amendment that they do not jeopardize all our efforts of all these years. Of course, we from the South have got to vote for the amendment; but, Mr. Speaker, I am one of those who greatly fear its adoption will enable the 300,000 illiterates from Europe, who would jeopardize our American institutions, to come to this country. So we ought to put this political advantage aside and take into consideration the benefits of the bill on the institutions of this country. It can be seen from the above words how ardently Mr. Dies favored the Immigration bill and how strongly he was opposed to the African exclusion amendment because he feared it would defeat the bill. Then why does Mr. Dies say, "Of course, we from the South have got to vote for it?" The answer is very simple. The meaning is that Southern Congressmen feel that they are morally bound to vote against the Negro whenever there arises any question whatsoever concerning the race. All of which goes to prove that the Negroes in the jungles of Africa have more to hope for and less to fear from the Representatives of the Southern States than have the Negro citizens of those states: Another curiosity of the Congressional Record is the practice of the Government in printing the words "Negro race" to use a capital "K"; but in speaking of the Negro to use a small "n." We cannot quite see the reason for this distinction. This question of "Negro and Negress" and "negro and negress" is now being widely discussed in the colored newspapers; so we shall consider it elsewhere or at another time. HENRY FORD, MAKER OF MOTORS AND MEN. Henry Ford, the great automobile manufacturer, in testifying the other day before the Industrial Commission, pronounced a sentence which should be made the golden text of all the captains of industry of the country. The sentence was the following: These words go to the root of our industrial problems. They do more, they find the solution. It doesn't take much thinking to discover that there is something radically wrong with the industrial system of the world. One man, for instance, furnishes the money and brain, and one thousand men furnish the muscle and skill for operating a factory. From the profits of this combination the one man is able to maintain a house on Fifth Avenue, a summer place at Newport, a country home on Long Island; he is able to keep a yacht and a flock of automobiles; his wife can load herself with a king's ransom in jewels and waste a modest fortune in entertaining her friends at a pet dog dinner. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY DEFENSE OF OKLAHOMA. To the Editor of The Age: In the issue of The Age, December 31, 1914, the Rev. W. Halwiel Davis, or Seggs, Oka, wrote an article otherwise titled "The Colonial of the Negro farmer in this state, which might have been well had he stopped there." But in his desire to tell of the farmer, he forgets his point, or rather, half way tells what he knows of the farmer and branches off on the town and necromachs, not even for- getting to give the presiding elders a rap. Out of the one thousand workmen, nine hundred of them are not able to afford beetsteak for dinner; it is a problem to provide shoes for their children and keep them in school; if one of these workmen is sick and out of work for a month his family finds itself on the verge of starvation and on the way to the poorhouse. Now, the money and brain are essential in establishing the factory, but the muscle and skill are equally essential in keeping it going and making it profitable. Then, since there is so slight, if any, difference in the importance of what the one man and what the one thousand men contribute to the enterprise, is there not something wrong about the vast difference between their respective shares of the profits? What I desire to do is to answer him in particular as to the preachers and presiding elders. However, since I have been in the work and character of others broadly maligned it may not be out of place to give your readers the benefit of my knowledge. What has been said of "there is no doing anything with the Negro farmers in Oklahoma." It is true in part, and my candid opinion is that it is of the lesser part. I am a preacher and in my position I have varied opportunity to see much of the Oklahoma Negro farmer. I speak to them from Sunday to Sunday, and in my numbers, I will talk to him in numbers. I take the liberty to discuss the economies of life as well as the spiritual welfare. I am satisfied that results have been obtained in great success from them and will tend to punctuate the truth of the statement above. In fact I am certain that I have been able to influence him, which breaks down the statement he made in such a wholesale manner. Mr Ford went on to say that no man can bring up a family and hope to own a home on the ordinary rate of wages; so the minimum wage in his factories for a man of family is $5 a day; and eight hours is a day's work. In addition, the men have a share in the profits of the concern. The results have been that since the adoption of this policy 8,000 families connected with the Ford factories have moved to better homes, bank accounts of the workmen have increased 130 per cent, and the men have made marked improvement in sobriety and steadiness. If he will not trade with his own color, I want to task the Rev, Mr. Davis; from whence the support that comes to C. M. W. Simmons, W. S. Simmons of Covelka; Oka; Wm. Ezell of Haskell, Oka; Mrs. E. W. Eade of Beggs, Oka; Hutton and Yates, Sapulina, Oka. These are but a few of whom I might go on to describe. All of these are of the Tulsa District of my church and I dare say that Dr. W. Kidd or the Rev, L. E. Nelson could and double the number upon which I am to be made more will tell you that the major portion of their business is the result of the Oklahoma Negro farmer's patronage. Some of these farmers are doing what they are doing is about what is to be expected of any other set of farmers anywhere. One thing 'which operates to hinder' the progress of the farmers here is the enormous rents which he has to pay to them that he has to ideal by far, but I must show that the blanket which has been spread does not cover all. Quite a number of persons, wrote in regard to their dismissal from the government service, owing to the fact, as they stated, that they were Jews. After a careful and thorough investigation in each and every one of these alleged cases of discrimination and prejudice, it was discovered that the charge was 'unfounded, and that either inefficiency or politics caused the retirement or dismissal of the employee. "Red-Light District" Teachers. In regard to the teachers, and I am sure he meant the lady teachers, I certainly would not dare believe the assertion upon his oath. The teachers in Oklahoma are very much what they men as it is possible to meet anywhere. The high standing which they are required to maintain educationally rather enhances their value when many other states are considered. In conjunction therewith I am of the opinion that the teacher implied in the complaint. However I am not as wise as the Dr. Davis along this line, yet from what I have been able to observe. I rather doubt the covering used. It is here where the strongest exceptions come. "The Negro churches are manned by grafters, irrespectively of denomination, but goes their dissony to him. I am the opinion that he means in regard to money, as the term is of every day usage here in that respect in the conference receives approval as a favor to tell what there is here in that respect to 'graft.' The highest paid preacher in the entire N. E. Oklahoma conference receives approx. 100 dollars, i. include salaries of presiding elders as well. The above sum is what any man ought have who can get it. I am aware of the dance which I know to be reported as I go my rounds, my heart within palms me because of the insultent salaries which some of the might receive. There are many of the less, including the Rev. W. Lilwink Davis, Ph.D., one received upwards of $500, one above $500, and none of the others or five or more of the less. $400 to the 'graft' enters into the above figures, it remains for the doctor, to tell. "Hogues and thieves of the 'deepest thief' is another of his scurrious statements." I happened to be in the city of Bergs when the issue of The Ago containing these statements was being sold on the streets, and in the pulpit of his church I read a letter from a congregation that he did not mean a reflection on "our presiding elder" but that he knew of such actions in another church. I read a letter from a congregation "in irrespective of denomination." I am pretty well acquainted with 'the ministers of my church in the state, and my opinion is that for hardworking, sacrificing men, you can not hope to be successful in conclusion to conclude the Rev. Mr. Davis, who has built me church the past year and is now busy erecting another at Sapulpa despite the fact that his quarterly conference showed that since the rise of the Ago, he has been able to get $11.93 in money. This covers time from October 23, 1914, to January 3, 1915. I don't think anyone would accuse him of great, and what is true of him is true of great, and what is true of other men all over the state. At ofr last presiding elders' council held at Tulsa, there was one presiding elder there who reported that for the six months preceding, he had not been able to collect $100 during the entire time. If then someof them should appear to the Rev. Mr. Davis that they are "hog" and "the other." The dollar, there is a possible excuse. "What do you think of presiding elders farming out appointments to the highest bidders?" he asks. Being a member of the conference of the A. M. E. Church, it is to be presumed that he knows whereof he speaks; and yet when I called his attention to this statement from the rostrum, he said that he went into church. But he said he went. What I said to him then I now repeat, that until he produces proofs, he's a "ljar in the throat as deep as the lung." There are but three presiding elders in his conference, the Rev. I. E. Nelson, the Rev. T. W. Kidd, and the writer, and while I have had no talk with any of the others to date, I take the liberty to dire him to his proofs in regard to any of the above. What does he think about the other church, it is first assumed that he would speak of his own. To say that the churches are "mapped by grafters" and make no the missionary missionary, he had been born of women and had but a guidance upon which to give. It is known that he has distributed more missionary money to this district than ever was the case be- cause he had been a hope for and receive more than has been the case. In conclusion, the writer covered more territory; then he can protect, and to you who have not been Oklahomans, and to you who have not been Oklahomans you will see how few exaggerated sights different to those, which you have witnessed almost anywhere else you have seen or may go, where there are large numbers of Negroes. R. M. PERRIN, Presiding elder, Tulsa District, A. M. E. Church, 528 Tower Hill, Muskogee, Okla. Anti-Intermarriage Laws. To the Editor of The Age: Our editor, the Anti-Intermarriage Laws, in the Age of January 21, is very good as far as it concerns Negroes. The Age, however, is read by many white people, and in this case the Negroes are not honored them for them. It is pungently set forth in "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man," good literature with which I understand you are familiar. The Anti-Intermarriage Laws are maliciously designed to degrade the Negro; or acknowledge that such laws are made necessary by the impractible desire of anti-Intermarriage Laws to marry Negroes. Such is the real crux of the situation: the white readers that you would emphasize, perhaps "re-emphasize" BOWSER. "New York City." NEWARK N J NEWARK, N.

NEWMRS, N.J.—The Peoples Choral Union of Newark, an organization composed of one hundred mixed voices of colored singers from Elizabeth, Bayonne, Jersey City, the Oranges, Montclair. New York and this city held its first annual concert at Pierson's Hall, Plane street, on Thursday evening, January 21. The singing was under the direction of Prof. Boston B. Puris, a tedding vocal teacher. He has been the choreographer of the 13th Avenue Presbyterian and other churches for over forty-five years. The idea of Mr. Puris has been to bring together a number of persons whose natural bent for singing has been neglected. He has taught to read music and sing in their respective church chors free of any cost to themselves, those who are by nature gifted, to sing. He has for many years devoted his time to the deserving of his people. He is the choral director of the Newark of the Damroesch's Choral Union of New York City. The response given by the citizens in appreciation of the effort was encouraging. From the proceeds of the annual renditions public charities among the colored people are 'to be remembered. Louis A. Sears officiated as master of ceremonies and presented the accompanist.-Mrs. Charlotte Honey, porter of roses. The others of the union are: Mme.

HER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS June 21 to July 16, 1915 PRESENT LAST SESSION Assisting "talent" as artists are always called by our people often when a professional from the musical map at a first appearance, before a cultured church audience in a town just below the Mason and Dixon line a girl named, "If you haven't any money, you don't come around," telling the singer, "I was simply squeaked." I followed her and told the audience that, if Melba were to come and sing the songs that she performed in a sang one of my most dutiful sisters, playing my own accompaniment and had a return engagement with a $40 guarantee which was a $100 offer, after ten, or more, the same girl came to me in New York City for voice culture. The audience erred in listening to her and encouraging her in that she had given her own against first-class singers. --- I have had "local talent to assist," and have sung with fine other sopranos on the same program, and editor of a well known church paper about a possible engagement in his town. This is the reply. "Please write your name plainer when you write your business, do not rearrange your business in Your letter is not explicit. I see by looking closely, that you are Mrs. etc. I had sent the man an eight page circular to which he had paid abso­riously the entire quantity of the large colored papers had had long accounts of the big affair at Hampton Institute. Of course, I wrote him a searching letter and received an email that "he had not been very well." A Hobby Mistreated. Most people know that Free Voice Cultures classes are my hobby. When I am in town long enough, I always organize free classes. Sometimes, I go to a local church several mornings and afternoons each week, often making trips to nearby towns, but a letter and a circular to a prominent minister in a northern city in which I was staying. I received no response and went to see the minister. He gave me a very cold reception (perhaps he thought wanted to be a teacher of others). I told him "story, perhaps too rapidly for he adjusted his pinch and gave me a haughty "stare asking Now who are you and what is it you want? Now I am sure that way in a western town, so I was ready for him. When I finished he had my personality fully impressed upon his mind and I am sure that he informed me, "No, I did not read your circular but I believe my daughter did." Speaking of Free Voice Culture—At one moment, not only women, women and men do the deep breath exercise. When the minister who had invited me there asked her why she sat there, I answered, "I was also told that the choir director of another church was that director of the church. You should get that great. You should get that from her, it will mean money in your pocket." He was amazed when he heard that she was being teaching all that for over a year. Local Jealousies Local artists often resent the invasion of travelling artists. When giving out their art, I have met with all kinds of discouragement. I am told, "I do not think you will succeed—is not like other artists." I am told, "or, or—is a very conservative town. In one town I began to advertise months ahead as usual. A local artist came to my studio and recital and dance a week ahead of my Retiring Recital. Because there was not as large a crowd as usual, one of the artists patronized my recital in preference to that of a home artist should be ostracized from society. These people just went back and had another big affair. A local artist, a soprano, asked me to assist her in giving a benefit that she had went back and had another big affair. A local artist, a soprano, asked me to assist her in giving a benefit that she had went back and had another big affair. I returned for the benefit the first thing I heard was that she had been working up interest by saying that she was a Hackley's voice, anyhow, and she was going to try to excel me that night. I was tantalized into putting on a shade and she has never come out alone. Another young aspirant whom I had helped' and helped asked friends to help her, give, a recital because I was helped' and helped' and not help her; I was miles away and I did not about her affairs. It is needless to say that such tactics always spell—failure. Once in a town every local soprano was put upon the program to show how to sing too. I might add that they did not sing at the second engagement. Speaking of home talent, I was asked to "appear" in a certain city. I was given permission to conduct the reply. The reply came that they had talked it over and the concensus of opinion was that no successful affair could be given without a fine guarantee. I lose a fine guarantee I stick to my rule and answered, "How do you know you could try it? I am delighted to have local artists. It is very rare devotion. Why not give a concert just with them. The promoter wrote back: "You should please you please." The recital was a howling success financially and artistically. The promoter was a prominent busi-nessman accounted on handling interest and had no "fear" and knew that one must feature. A less experienced promoter have been afraid, would have passed his fear around, and would have lost out. In a modern town where I was giving a Retiring Recital, I was greatly surprised to hear that a prominent local localist could not understand what I wanted with large - - - - hall, that all the great men ever satisfied with a well well Writing for Engagements One often feels like a boogie when waiting for engagements. It is not worth waiting for, so do not contact such as a friend, if you not conceive the date mentioned, etc., consider the question closed, or after waiting weeks the question is you are old that they are not interested. tion", or, "that person of great influence in the community are against the proposition."—When I get answers like this, I pay my own way to the city and look over the people." Generally I am afterwards invited to give a recital, but he is nervy racking—nove breaking to the audience. Once I was engaged by a college president to give a recital. Afterwards the musical director of the choir wondered if I was expected to give us a rousing song recital. You know $'s is a large sum for this section, I wondered if I was expected to foray into the audience travelled that a young man, offered to dates for her in that state—and to travel with her. I know nothing of her, but I was a minister and a friend told me of this and said in all seriousness, "You ought to get a young man to travel with me. I wanted him to laugh, but because I wanted to laugh and did not care, I suppose that friend is still sorry for me because I can not help some young man to travel with me." People are always giving one advice about the work, some of whom are not even successful along their own, but one must smile and swallow all of it. Imagine how it feels to go to a small town where a revival is in progress, and to hear that they prayed for the (wicked) singer. Some of the same people who were dark and would not pay for the recital "as the church belonged to them: In a certain town another singer had greatly pleased the people. The minister who had engaged me that I would have to do some tall singing to beat his artist. In the introduction before my program, "my minister told me that I would have to do some tall singing to at the end of the program, come and get your money back." Imagine my feelings? At the close of the program he called out, joyously to the crowd. The audience cheered and cheered but I felt about as big as a "pin-head." A Would-be Helper. I paid $35 for the use of a church one night. The church expected to have an entertainment soon after and they asked me if they could read their book. I said no, but a highly educated man said to my audience of over two thousand people, "This is going to be the finest yet. You think this is fine but just come to me. I don't take it kingly and there were not over three hundred at the other affair." If one travels one must be classed with all travelling entertainers. One night I attended a very cheap stereopoly show where admission fee was 15 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. A fair crowd attended. The lantern was small and one could not see the pictures. At the end of the show the audience) "I hope you give Madame Hackley a better crowd than this". A first class singer spends thousands of dollars to give the full value of her performance. The man showed the cheapest possible lantern slide pictures for 15 and 10 cents, almost defrauding the children present, and teaching them the lesson of getting along with others. My professional pride to be put in his class. I suppose the remark was intended to help me, but I do not see how a person who cannot draw a picture can influence a crowd for another. One woman asked me, "Why don't you pray-before you appear?" I thought all the great singers knelt down and all the musicians bowed. I told her, that I made no special prayers to be successful in singing. That I believed that God gave us natural laws which if obeyed would lead to success. That he put food within our reach, and that musical success came from inside the person because he obeyed God and had stored success. That it was about every little concert; that God hephed him that helps himself. Although I was breathless at the end of the speech, I am certain that she continued and tremendous success, just the same. Down in Key West I was vocalizing oo-ing, ah-ing, and eo-ing. I happened to glance out of the window shutters at some workmen paying Duval street who had paused to listen. I was surprised that they would like it, and when I finished I was amused to hear one say, "And I suppose you call that singing." NEGRO FARMERS IN CONFERENCE (Continued from page 1.) The meeting was opened by a song and prayer, after which Dr. Booker T. Washington delivered his annual address. He said in part: Now understanding the astonishing financial experiences through which most farmers of this section are passing, I am glad to note many evidences of continued progress on your part. First of all, the farmers' parade in which you see them is an important character that the Negro farmers are not discouraged, that they are learning to produce crops and are making them independent and more useful. One of the weights that our people should keep on their bodies is keeping pilots on their body and in the house. I know many colored people who spend more time in the classroom than in the education of their children. The pistol, in nine cases out of ten, not only does not protect the lives of the children, but also protects the weights, then, that we can throw off first the expense of buying and keeping a pistol and avoiding the trouble the use of a pistol will cause. Another weight that we should get rid of is the reputation, which our race is getting altogether too fast, especially this year, of stealing people from our country. A person when there have been so many races reported in town and country districts of people who are not white, that the fact of their taking no means, is confined to the Negro race. The same charges are being brought against white people, but the doing of wrong on the part of white people does not necessarily mean an am I talking just not especially to the Negro. Don't Go in, Blind Tigers Still another thing that we can throw off is that of supporting and patronizing "blind tigers." There are not a few petty officers of the law who make their living by arresting color or people who are charged with patronising the "blind tiger." Let us throw off that weight and wherever the law prohibits the selling or buying of whiskey, let us comply with the law at any cost. been a man of character, and in many cases, his life was murder and finally to the prison and death which we could get rid of in every learning class. Maybe weight which we can easily throw, can lend us something to much money and time in useless jobs. We can be founded upon some rival matter that could be a person in the 'counsellor', the minister, by the teacher, or, by somebody doing a hanging around-a court house in connection with little law suit not worth five minutes discussion, by the lawyer, by the year, and put the same time and the same money into a better farm, a better farm, to the education of our children and the strengthening of the church. Finally, as you go-home from this Farmers Conference carry in your minds, a farm resolve everything necessary to keep you and your family at home. Raise it in your garden, raise it on the farm, stock it, own your fruit, and an proportion as you do this, you will have better homes, better schools, better churches and better racial rights, more rightous, and law-binding community. Raising Their Own Food Supplies. After concluding, this address, which was received with great and prolonged cheering, Dr. Washington brought the conference right down to business by calling for reports from persons who are raising their own food supplies. A great many persons spoke, but the following reports are typical of the rest: S. Pryor, from Perry County, said he would reduce his cotton acreage about one-third this year. He has twenty-five acres in oats and will plant more. He has an orchard, sixty hogs, a good garden, and plenty of eemmy. Pryor is one of the large farmers, owning 700 acres of land. The wife of Thomas I. Pugh created considerable interest by stating that her family does not have any other income, and she was a little more than the same as much foodstuffs which they produced that the hard times have not reached them. She exhibites rubabgas, eggs, butter, peaches, fruits of various kinds, and the other of the family never casts all of the fruit and preserves which she makes each year. She, not only has enough food for family use, but sells vegetables, eggs, butter, milk and chickens all in the way they are. They are very good to the men who are allow their wives time from the making of the crops to raise chickens, turkeys, geese and gardens. A. A. Terrell, of Pickens County, is a contractor whose wife and children run the farm. In addition to eleven bales of cotton, they produced corn and hay enough for four miles, pecary peanuts, and received 170 gallons of system. For the first, grinding cane in their mill for other farmers. Organized Pig Club. The Rev. M. Hicks, pastor of the church in Uniontown, stated that having read the letter sent out by Professor Washington, urging the colored people to buy pigs, he decided to organize a pig club in his church. This he did, causing one of his offers. "I am a man," he said. "Enough to present to me, the elector as its president. Another minister, the Rev. Mr. Davis of Mt. Neigs, said that he had never lived on his congregation since he had been preaching, but always had his own truck garden and a farm to supply his needs. He has a 400 pounds of meat, a 400-pound of milk for a visit of $83.80 a year. Lula Cowan, a widow, calme near being the star speaker of the conference. She said: "I have always raised a plenty of chickens, children and pigs, and a good garden." She has 166 acres of land, has not bought one bushel corn and has a 500-pound of milk for the歴. $500 pounds of pork, has nearly fifty creates of vegetables and fruit which she has put up and declares that her lives must be the most of the women who have husbands. J. Phillips of Montgomery County was a especially good job person to the young people more like one of the professors of the school than a farmer. His testimony of his success in raising not only enough food for himself, but also enough to help make him independent in other ways was witness by a number of people who were living in the焉耆族乡. Being such a young man, his unhelpful success was especially p且 A farmer-by the name of Elmore of Montgomery市, he received his receipt last year just from the sale of truck crops was $1,600. He supplies Montgomery markets with a number of crops, and he is a good foot for himself. J. B. Rowe, of Autauga County, has grown plenty of corn, potatoes, and other crops, and an abundance of preserves made by his wife County Superintendent of Education J. H. Cohen, has asked him to speak. He won the immediate good will of his audience by showing that he was in favor of aiding everyone to become some of the people he cares for, the people are prosperous is better than in one where only some of the people are in good circumstances. His address was unusually helpful. THE SESSION OF THE WORKERS' CONFERENCE Special to THE NEW .ORG TUSKERSE INSTITUTE, Ala. Jan. 26— Gathered here from all sections of the Southl on January 21 were large numbers of serious-minded Negro educators, ministers and laymen, to consider the question of devising ways and means so that the Southl can be fully hampered in their work because of the hard times, and tq. take counsel as to the help that these leaders may render the colored people who live in the rural parts of the South, while the country is passing through the present crisis. Present at the school grounds were a man named Southl to aid and encourage with their words and presence these colored leaders who; after all has been said, are the ones who wear: the black man's problems on their hearts night and day. The following white men of the South were present with the Jeanes fund teacher, while some of the Southl main-workers were in the Workers' Conference; Dr. James H. Dillard, president Anna T. Jeanes fund; State Supervisors — James L. Sibley of Alabama, S. L. Smith of Tequessee, George D. Godard of Georgia, George D. Godard of Indiana, H. R. Willison, H. B. Byr, W. B. Wiley, E. C. Glover, John W. Dowdle, F. M. DeGraceenreid; Mississippi, J. H. Culkin, T. J. White and Mr. Lee; Georgia, Rural Supervisor George D. Godard; Superintendent G. Ben Browne; E. F. Elrod and Mr. Brinson of Florida. These gentlemen, though not addressing themselves in their meetings, Go the direct theme of. helping meet the present conditions, were, nevertheless, giving such aid to the rural teachers directly involved in the discussion held in another building by the Worker's Conference. Some Schools Hard Hit. The reports to the Workers' Conference from the various States showed that some of the colored schools in the South have been hard hit and seriously embarrassed by the conditions brought about through the European war. Particularly has this been true of the schools that are largely supported by public philanthropy. But while it was felt glad that the schools in the South should be kept apprised of this extraordinary situation, there was no whining, no discouragement, visible—nothing but the sentiment, "We must keep these schools going until tides are better." of education is vital to help us to adapt to their needs (Ardizz, 1971). Each school is necessary and necessary. Particularly is the true of the rural schools. Accordingly, the conference early in the session addressed itself to the following topics: How the hard times situation has affected our community. What our school is doing to help our community in the temporary relief, (b) to get permanent relief, (c) the opportunity that the present situation offers to teach the saving skills, (d) to help the present situation affords for initiating and increasing school extension work. "It was decided to add the work, being done by churches to the program." There has never been a time before when colored people were doing so much to perpetuate their schools as now while it is being feared that the hard times may cripple the educational opportunities being given to colored children. Sacrifices Are Made. As one listened to the stories of cooperative efforts at school building by Negroes through their own small gifts of money and land and labor, of school term extension through gifts of money and the sale of farm products, of eggs and hogs and chickens, etc., the sacred story of how the Jewish Tabernacle of old was-builded through the gifts of devout and devoted people came, often to the mind. The meeting was opened with a song, after which Rev. H. H. Proctor of the Congregational Church of Atlanta read the Scripture story of Gideon and emphasized that "the heart of all reformation is the reformation of the heart." Prayer was offered by Dr. Watters of Gammon Theological Seminary, and then Dr. Booker T. Washington took charge of the exercises and directed the discussions to the subject already chosen. Below is a digest of the reports and the plans either being used or that were suggested. The persons mentioned below are not quoted direct Digest of Plants Dr. P.-M. Watters, President Gammon Theological Seminary—Many students have been Principal Robert W. Taylor, Covance Grove County High School, Alabama—This school is trying to teach the farmers how to grow food. Rev. Mr. Dickinson, Calmoun School—A concessionary school, white and colored, was called by the administration, to determine whether they should pay the salaries for the present year's work. Every one of the teachers agreed to pay the salaries, and they paid the salaries just the same. The Southern teachers were not given the opportunity to offer any offer to sacrifice because the families felt they should pay the salaries just the same. The Southern teachers were not given the opportunity to offer any offer to sacrifice because the families felt they should pay the salaries just the same. The Southern teachers said: "I hope the time will never come when will be willing to work for my race." Principal J. R. Wingfield, Loxam-lanion School, Greenville, Ala—Has accepted汤姆·布莱恩的 ten cents the pound for it. This cotton is stored, and is accepted as collateral by the students. The cotton is being held. The school accepts all kinds of farm produce to pay the expenses to help parents meet the hard times so that the former may not have to take their children to help parents meet the hard times so that the student's bill of fare on Sundays and holidays. Permanent help is being given the people to raise their own food. Professor Holloway, Taladega, College, Ala—Accepts cotton in payment of students' expenses. President J. S. Clark, Southern University, Louisiana State is being extended to student by new buildings now being erected, at Lowell and Chambers Institute, Cambridge Virginia—Inequate to the Stateize so many foodstuffs, they have to be distributed. The school encourages the building of other schools through the method of self-taxation. The Institute being a primer in this work. Reports on Smith-Lever Fund During the meeting Dr. Washington asked for reports as to the success being had in securing a portion of the Smith-Lever Fund for colored farmers and their wives. It developed that, thus far, Alabama and Virginia are the only two states where colored people, although Professor Wilkinson stated that South Carolina has arranged to divide hers also. It was the sense of the meeting that efforts should be made to induce those in charge of these funds to give a portion to the colored people. Just before the conference adjourned Major Moton, of Hampton Institute, Virginia, sketched, at Dr. Washington's request, a plan and work of the Virginia Organization Society. This society is simply an organization of all existing organizations in the State of Virginia, for the purpose of aiding school work and improving health and civic conditions generally. Dr. Washington suggested that the workers present consider the adoption, for next year, of a subject dealing with colored children for colored children in cities—conditions which are at present far from satisfactory. This was an encouraging conference despite the conditions obtaining throughout the South; for, as one delegate put it: "Not least of the good things that will result from these times will be the mutual sympathy of whites and blacks in the 'South occasioned by the crisis of to-day." Prizes Awarded. At this point the following prizes were awarded: For the best agricultural float exhibition, $10 to Jordan Craft; for the second best, $10 to the Chairman; for the third best exhibit, $2, to Lucas Pollard; and to Baptist Cluster and Thomas Lowe for the best live stage exhibit, $10, to Brownville, Community No. 2, William Feltman chairman; for second best, $10, to Brownville Chairman; for second best, $10, to Brownville Chairman; for the third best, $3, to Brown Hill Community No. 3, Thomas Willis, chairman; for the third best, $2, for declarations of allegiance to the congrader. Conference Declarations. In the "midst of the hard times occasioned by a great war in another part of the world, the United States, we have twenty-fourth time to the Negro farmers of the South, diversify your crops, raise your own food stuffs, live at home, do all that you can promote. Friendly, relations between the race In spite of the great progress that we have made in the last fifty years in home getting and property owning, it is found that much more work is needed because we have depended too much upon cotton and have raised too little of other crops. I found that for every dollar worth of cotton, we have lost about two dollars worth of all other crops. It is also found that there are hundreds of thousands of farms' of Verones on which, last year, there were no cotton, wool, silk, cottonseed, sweet potatoes, ongardeners of no nippe We get some money to help pay off our debts and to "run" ourselves, the coming year. To families, schools, churches, Secret societies, farmers' institutes, business leagues, and other agencies throughout the South this Negro conference says: See that the pig club idea is carried out and that such a club is organized in every community. Co-operation Needed. We especially urge upon Negro farmers that they co-operate with the agencies which are striving to bring about a better financial situation throughout the South. We urge upon teachers, preachers, business men, and others to provide their services to the明日农民们 in getting the farmers in their communities to cooperate with the financial agencies in carrying out the suggestions which have been given here to today for improving financial conditions. An investigation has shown that in the past, 32,000 of the 2000-year-old, 270-000 on which there are no cattle of any kind, 270,000 on which there are no hogs; 200,000 on which no poultry is raised; 140,000 on which no corn is grown; on 750,000 farms of Negroes no oats are grown; on 550,000 farms no sweet potatoes are grown, and on 200,000 farms of the 2000-year-old, 270-000 on which there are no plants, without cattle hundreds of thousands of farms, with about a million hogs, poultry, grain or gardens are for the most part operated by tenants. In their behalf the Tuskegee Negro conference respectively requests for the planters, bankers and of the South, that more opportunities be given to thefielders and thefielders to grow crows. The men are not a plantation; to grow hogs, and poultry—to raise food supplies at home. These things will help to do away with hard times. Will we improve financial conditions, make your tenants a safe, a safe life, and make the future more safe. Millions of dollars are going out of the South to the North and West each year to buy food for man and beast. If this money be kept at home there will be more with which to buy improved farm machinery, to build school houses, to lengthen school terms, to build better churches and to pay our teachers and preachers. We likewise will have the means with which to buy homes, build better houses, beautify our homes, and in every way make farm life more attractive for our boys and girls. Following these declarations, the audience arose, sung the doxology and was dismissed, after which the people went to the large school dining-room and had dinner served free to all of the delegates and visitors. HOT SPRINGS, VA.

LAWS, Prop. Phone 5395 Chelsea THE PARK HOUSE CRAIG'S PRE-LENTEN (BY LUCIEN H. WHITE) M.E. ANITA PATTI BROWN M. of Chicago, Ill., made her first appearance before, a New York audience, on Monday evening, January 12, when she sang at the Palm Garden in Prof. Walter F. Craig's annual pre-teen entertainment. Mme. Brown had been hailed as a second Tetrazina, and her appearance had been looked forward to by New York music lovers. I was interested in the prospect of hearing her again, as some few yews ago I had heard her sing in the South. At that time she gave promise of developing into the race's leading dramatic soprano. Her New York-debut was under most favorable, auspices, barring only the exasperating delay in beginning the concert, due probably to the New Yorker's unfortunate habit of arriving late at any affair where dancing forms a part of the program. Scheduled to begin at 8:30 p. m., it locked only ten minutes of being 10 clock, when the curtain finally rolled up and Miss Helen Elise Smith of the Martin-Smith Music School began the first programmed number. Mme. Anita Patti Brown, on her first appearance, made a good impression as a coloratura soprano, but hardly came up to expectations. She does not sing as well as she did a few years ago, her voice evidently not being able to stand the tremendous exertions to which it has been put during the past few years. She has made several extensive tours, through this country and through the West Indies and South America, and the pace has told. Mme. Brown is an artist with a delightful personality and a pleasing stage presence. She has given the last degree of cultivation to her voice, and exhibited a surpassing brilliance in the florid passages of Travati and Lucia, and the soul-reaching sweetness and dramatic intensity once possessed is lacking. This was shown in Lucia's mad lament, which Mme. Brown sang with artistry but, with a lack of the fervid abandon which the poor, heart-broken Scotch lassie evinced when deceived by her cruel brother, deprived of her lover and forced into a loveless marriage de convenance. And it was the lack of this quality which gave a thinness and paucity of tone where rich fullness and velvety sweetness should have reigned. The bravura passages were given with a clarity and distinctness that was a revelation of technical development. Mme. Brown's singing will always be enjoyed, but she has not attained the heights which she met a few years ago to be as ascending. A handicap developed itself as soon as Miss. Smith began playing, for the Steinway concert grand piano provided for the concert was far from being up to the standard. It was plainly to be discerned that the action was stiff and unresponsive, and the tone lacked roundness and sweetness. However, this did not prevent Miss Smith from giving a finished performance. She possesses a technique which has been developed by earnest conscientious application, and showed a delightful versatility in rendering numbers by Chopin, Liszt and Moszkowski. Perhaps her most successful endeavor was the "Spanish Caprice" of Moszkowski, which she gave with verve and abandon. She does not seem to possess the temperament to enter fully into the spirit of Chopin and Liszt, failing to bring out the delicate shades and nuances in the Chopin numbers especially which make them heart-searching and effective. For her encounters she gave two charming little Chopin waltzes. This young lady, developing temperament, will eventually rank with the best of our pianists. She is not making the mistake ordinarily made by the colored artist, discontinuing her studies because of attaining some degree of proficiency, but is as faithful a student now as any of the younger aspirants being trained in the school of which she is one of the heads. Roland W. Hayes of Boston, tenor, sang two numbers, a group of songs, one by Coleridge-Taylor and two by Harry T. Burleigh, and "Celeste Aida" from Verdi's Aida. Mr. Hayes has sung before New York audiences on previous occasions, but it is safe to say that he has never been heard to better advantage. He has a voice of quality, with characteristics which raise it far above the ordinary. He has an appreciation of artistic beauty which enables him to bring to the interpretation of his songs a sympathetic authority. In the notes of the lower register there is a slight threatiness which almost becomes huskiness, but other than that the tenor's voice is just one delightful revelation after another. He brought to all of his songs a musicianly insight which brought appreciation to the keen student of music and to the lay hearer, in equal measure. The "Celeste Aida" was given in Italian, but the singer's art carried its beauty to all the audience. Mr. Hayes is a young man a student, and has not yet attained his full development. I am not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, but I believe that his future development will show him to be one of the greatest rehousers of the time. He is modest in his hearing and does not appear to be unduly inflated by the adulation and compliments, which come to him on every side. He will go far, as a singer. "For You Alone" and "Nita Gitaana" were given in inimitable manner as encroaches. The reader for the evening was Miss Etta P. Cannon, a young lady from Jersey City, who has been heard on numerous occasions, and always with pleasure. She has the understanding of an author's meaning which leads to an intelligent interpretation, and in the two numbers programmed she pleased her hearers. If Miss Cannon could develop a little more resonance and fullness of tone in dramatic passages there would be little left to be desired from her, as a reader. As an encore she gave a delightfully humorous sketch, "It was not a success," giving the experience of a newly-wed couple on their wedding tour when they evolved a plan to prevent their status as bride and groom becoming public property. The accompaniments for Mr. Hayes aid Mme. Brown were played with sym- pathy and skill by Melville Charlton. Mr. Charlton has no peer in the race as an organist and pianist, and he brings to the task a temperament which happly joins with the singer's personality, sinking his own individuality, the res- ult being that he is sine qua non as an accompanist.

This statement is a hold one. Its true, but facts and images warrant the making of it. Last week at the Lafayette Theatre "Stringbeans" was the principal magnet that drew hundreds to 7th avenue, between 131st and 132nd streets, and this week history is repeating itself. No act since, the opening of the Lafayette Theatre has occasioned so much complimentary comment as "Stringbeans." This week May & May, are putting on a new act, and it is even a bigger hit than the one presented last week. It is a riot from start to finish. And the best of it all, "Stringbeans" is still turning a deaf leaf to vulgarity and is giving the audience a laugh last week, although Miss May is, not rated fifty-lift in the percentage column as an entertainer with her partner, yet she is a clever little performer who is a strong foil for the comedian. She is a natural born actress who Sings and talks with ease. Her stage mannerisms are engaging, and she displays taste in comedy, of all kinds. "Stringbeans" dresses up this week. Go and see May & May. Ethed Page and her ragtime banjo boys won second.honors the first half of the week, while the Marinello Trios won the first water, also the Jailbill. There were also heartily applauded. Anita Wilkins' voice has improved since last heard in New York, but her selections were not the best.

Morganstern & Waton will put on a strong bill headed by May & May, which will include the Six Miller Band, the Country store on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday-evenings is even growing more popular.

Bolden, pastor of the First Emmanuel Church, 166 West 130th street, sold: —That while there is much to be learned about God, through individual, there is more to be understood, about the Emmanuel as we reverently and constantly investigate, analyze, determine, and classify personality. We agree with the sacred writers, the saints, after truth written by the sultra. The attractions of emphasizing individual effort in the pursuit of any thing or all things in life. In reality there is no such thing as a human individual. Entity is God or is only possible to God. A society which each one works for himself alone is against the plan and purpose of God. In truth the idea of such a society and things are supplied, supported, nursed and sustained from somewhere and they have there affinity and things should do their duty, the best is done. But the dog's best should be considered and done in the light of obligation to God and man. The power of obedience to God, inspiring and illuminating, the dynamic spiritual life is possible too and possessed by the man who lives, moved and saved in God in his body, transforms his nature and renew him. The noblest, thoughts and desires of our ancestors feed and aid us in developing that personality which manifest in our lives. The Divine habit cannot form in a person or among persons that know themselves to be clothed in God. Human nature is a beautiful thing when it is the Divine comes flesh and dwells among us; we behold His glory, kindness, cleanness, honesty, justice, truthfulness and an under-'anding in creating good things. He is always been some pure souls who have recognized Him in Hispower. But though the Immunel reveals not His power alone, but God Himself, we are not in Him dwell in and with us. "He whose might is shown in the movements of worlds need not take the shape of man to show that the divine is questioned and the unknown is questioned. He whose graded angelic host in Him have and personally obedience, needed not our adoration, but he loved us and became man, so our soul has not cannot or of God rather one in God. Therefore beloved, we are the sons of God and God is with us, and it does not yet appear what we shall be doing in great glory we shall be like Him in character. This character building or forging out the highest and holiest personality is the effort for which the students will be taught that they might show the glory of God.
