HAS THE LARGEST The New York Age VOL. XXVIII No. 26. THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1915. PRICE FIVE CENTS WHITE MEN NOT FAIR TO BLACKS They Refuse to Meet the Negro in Competition in Economic Field THE WHITE MAN IS FIRST After He Serves Himself if anything Is Left He Will Let the Negro Have it—Assumes Superior Right. OBJECT LESSON FROM MO. The Hartford Courant Says Missouri NightRiders are Quicker on the Trigger Than in Their Sense of Fairplay—Driving Negroes Out to Raise Wages and Reduce Rents. Referring to the conditions in Missouri, where the white farm tenants organized themselves into night-riding bands and attempted by use of force and firearms to drive the Negroes out of the communities, the "Hartford Courant" declares that fairness is not the white man's habit. Declaring Missouri question is an economic one, that the task of self-support is often a hard one at best, the "Courant" says the whites are careful to see that the Negro does not use his improved qualities in competition with the white man. "The white man first is the rule, and then if anything is left over the black man." The discussion of the question by the "Courant" is as follows: Reports come from Missouri of a new race war in that State. The race part of it is merely a convenient dividing line. The cause of it is economic. No Competition in Farming. There are Negro laborers on the farms of Missouri, and also white laborers. Some of the land owners out there have little houses or cottages to rent, and presumably a very decent patch of ground goes with each of these cottages. Both blacks and whites hire these houses, the only question probably being as to the ability of the tenant to come up regularly with his rent. It appears now that the white agricultural hands think their wages too low and their house rent too high, and they have made it out to their own satisfaction that the Negroes are responsible for both of these conditions. Being a rude and simple people, a good deal quicker on the trigger than they are in their sense of fair play, these white laborers are organized themselves as right-riders and have entered upon the merry task of driving the Negroes out. Notices have been put up at various points advising the Negroes to leave, and then these night-riders go about after dark shooting up a Negro house here and a Negro house there and thus emphasizing the printed words. The purpose of these highly civilized proceedings is to raise wages and reduce rents for the white men, and in this economic sense, and in no other, there is a race war now going on in Missouri. With fewer hands to work on the big farms a rise in wages can be demanded, and with fewer persons needing houses; rents can be pushed down. It is as simple as falling off a log, and all because one man is white and another man is black. There is no denying that the Negroes of the United States have a hard time of it. Booker Washington and other impartial, friends of humanity have done a great deal of late years in the way of teaching the black man to take care of himself. They have taught him how to work a farm; they have instructed him in the various trades; and they have impressed upon him the need of being soher and industrious and of using all his knowledge for his own good! It is to be said, too, that the Negro is more and more fitting himself to take care of himself. But when he comes to doing this in competition with white men, either in the South or in the North, then it is good-night to the colored man. He may be the better farmer or the better craftsman, he may be industrious and faithful in the highest degree; he may have nothing between himself and starvation but the labor of his hands. No matter. Neither any degree of skill on his part nor any common regard for humans on the part of the community in which his lot is cast, can give him a justified hope of holding his job whenever and wherever a white man wants. He must support himself; he must be capable, diligent and honest; but he must abstain on all accounts from using his gifts and acquirements in competition with white men; for if he does, the sufferer's power is, "He's black; out with him." place in the Sun for Blacks. The task of self-support is often a hard one at the best, but it becomes immeasurably harder when it is undertaken under a restriction upon competitive effort. The white man has a free field. He is free to do what he can, and may go as far as he is able to go. Nb one can take his job away from him-except the man who can do the job better. He has the right color. But the black man has the wrong color, and therefore he must step one-side when by patience and labor he has obtained a place that the white man wants for himself. We say that the Negroes must improve themselves, and this is wisely said; but we are careful not to add that they must also see to it that they do not use their improved qualities in those fields which the white man wishes to occupy as his own. The white man first is the rule, and then if there is anything left over the black man—and this, with occasional and incidental personal exceptions, here and there, is the rule for, the Negro race. Fairness Not the White Man's Habit: These night-riders in the southeast corner of Missouri are merely carrying the general rule pretty far, and no doubt they are acting in accordance with the ethics of civilization that prevail in their neighborhood. But blue is blue, even if it is a dark shade of blue, and substantially and in politer forms the Missouri rule is the general rule of this Country. The Negroes have fully demonstrated in these later years that they have the capacity to make of themselves good mechanics, good farmers and good business men. In those parts of the South where they are numerous enough to maintain in fair degree the normal right of every American citizen to do, an honorable way, whatever he is capable of doing, they have brought these qualities to the proof. The only question that is still unsettled in regard to their future is as to whether or not our white people will give them a fair field in which to use their new accomplishments. This has not been and is not the white man's habit. Consciously or unconsciously, the white man assumes that his color gives to him the first place and a superior right. Socially, everybody has a right to his own preferences, including the Negro himself. But in the economic field it is different. There should be in the economic field no preferences, but only capacities. In the field of doing things it is not what you like or dislike that should prevail, but what you can do. The Negro who can do things is as much entitled to his fair chance of doing them as the rest of us. The common right of competing with each other should not depend upon the color of the skin, but upon the capacity of the man, and our civilization will be better worth boasting of when it stands at that level as a mere matter of course. READING JURY ACQUITS HIPPODROME MANAGER Special to THE NEW YORK ACE READING, Pa., March 24—In the suit against the Hippodrome Theatre, Cornelius G. Keeney, manager, instituted by Lewis Gilbert, alleging discrimination on account of color, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Gilbert alleged that on January 9 he purchased a ticket for the Hippopotamus, and took a seat in the orchestra. After several acts had been shown he declared that Manager Keeney ordered him to go to the gallery, as colored people were not allowed on the first floor. Gilbert left the theatre. The case was called on Wednesday, March 17, before Judge Endlich in the Criminal Court. The jury's verdict was handed down at opening of the court on Thursday morning. PAID 400 EMPLOYES $10,800 EVERY MONTH Special to City, New York Special to the New York Times PALM BEACH, Fla., March 23.—This is getaway week at the Hotel Royal Poinciana, as the season will close Friday or Saturday. Headwaiter J. S. McLane is winding up his most successful season, and he has the distinction of successfully inaugurating the new American checking system, with more waiters than any hotel in the country.

After fifteen days in Jacksonville, Mr. McLane, with Mrs. McLane, will take a two months' trip to California, returning in June to open the United States Hotel at Saratoga Springs. N. Y. WOULD KEEP NEGROES IN JAIL FOR OWN GOOD Special to The New York Times ATLANTA, Ga., March 23—City Recorder Johnson declared in his court that Negroes were better off, in the stockade than out of it. He expressed this idea to C. P. Sims, an attorney, who was trying to secure the release of certain Negro prisoners. Said the recorder: "You are always trying to get these Negroes free who are trial in this court, and if you will visit the stockade, with myself and a reporter you will ascertain that the Negroes get plenty of food and a nice place to sleep." The recorder's peculiar idea did not meet with Mr. Sims' approval. PYTHIANS TO ERECT HOME FOR INDIGENT PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 24.—The Special to the New York Ack Pennsylvania Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, has concluded its purchase of a site for the erection of a Home for Indigent Members, Widows 'and, Orphans of the order.

Don't forget the monster benefit for the Howard Orphanage at Lafayette Theatre, March 28, at 3. o'clock. CHARGE WHITE DOCTORS MAKE WRONG DIAGNOSES John Hopkins Hospital PhysicianCorroborates the Claim, and Writes a Letter Saying Negro's Power of Recuperation is Greater than that of Whites. At the first public meeting held in the city under the National Negro Health Week campaign, Dr. Charles H. Roberts declared that the statement, giving the death rate among Negroes as in excess of the mortality of whites was wrong and based on false premises. He said also that more than 45 per cent of M. B. the Negroes have white physicians attending them, and these physicians do not hesitate to class diseases or many kinds under the general head of consumption. The meeting was held Monday evening, March 22, at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, and was presided over by Eugene Kinkele Jones, the Rev. W. P. Hayes, pastor, being sick, illustrated lectures on "Why Babies Die," and "Agencies for Child 'Welfare'" were given by Dr. Thomas Martin of the Board of Health and Frank C. Meyers of the Child Welfare Committee. White Doctors Make Wrong Diagnosis. Dr. Roberts' subject was "Care of the Teeth" but he took up the illustrations made by the first speakers, and showed concisely that their examples were limited to the whites, and showed very little of the work being done by Negroes. He declared also that the pictures showed that advantages were provided exclusively for the care of the white children to the neglect of the colored babies. The white physicians, by their careless diagnoses, foster a false impression that Negroes are naturally inferior physically to the white race. To the contrary he asserted that the Negro is naturally a healthy and robust being. He has gone through a refining process—first in the selection of the healthiest and strongest African tribesmen as slaves; second, in the survival of the strongest in the passage across the seas; and third, in the survival of the most fit in the ordal of slavery. Dr. Roberts referred also to an injustice on the part of the health department in using examples of certain limited unsanitary sections as applying to conditions among all Negroes. Baltimore Physician. Testifies Evidence in gerritorialization of his contention was submitted by Dr. Roberts in the shape of letters received from various physicians, white and colored, in all sections of the country, used by him in preparing an address delivered in London last summer at the International Medical Congress. One of the most authoritative of these be quoted was from Dr. Dr. Wittell Bellinger Caster of the John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Md., as follows: "I have been once, in setting with a rather great experience that I have of the necessity that the powers of recognition of the Negra race and their ability to recuperate after severe operations is greater than among the whites. One other thing must be taken into consideration in an inquestation of this kind, and that is the Negro does not come to operation until they are in much more certifiable people. Consequently they are very much more difficult cases to operate upon than the whites. In the geneological work with which I have been specially associated in the wards at John Hopkins the recuperative powers of the black race has often been a matter of comment and is a very well known fact." Dr. Martin admitted the truth of Dr. Roberts' contentions, but insisted that to maintain this strength and health of body, Negroes should observe more carefully the laws of health. Dr. A. S. Reed spoke on the subject, "The Value of Health and How to Preserve It" objecting to the use of pacifiers for babies, overfeeding, advising fresh air, sunshine and cleanliness. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday night, March 25, at Mother Zion, Church, 145 West 136th Street, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor, who will preside. HOSTS PAY LAST TRIBUTE TO LATE MRS. LANGSTON WASHINGTON, D.C., March 24—The funeral of the late Mrs. Caroline M. Langston, the widow of John M. Langston, former member of Congress and former United States minister to Hayti, was held at the Langston homestead on Friday, March 19. The services were most impressive in their character. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Jesse E. Moorland "international secretary of the Y. M. C.A., and for a long time an intimate friend of the Langston family. The Rev. D. F. Rivers, of the Berean Baptist Church also spoke of the life and character of the deceased. Both addresses were splendid, and well deserved tributes to Mrs. Langston and the beautiful life she led and the remarkable influence for good she always exerted on those about her. The Rev. F. J. Grimke read the scriptures, and the music was furnished by a quartet. The floral tributes were profuse and beautiful. The pall-bearers were Prof. Belly Malker, Prof. W. V. Tunnell, Prof. George W. Cook, Judge Robert H. Terrell, A. F. Hilger and Daniel Murray. The interment was in the family lot at Woodlawn cemetery. All members of the immediate family were present, Mrs. and Mrs. J. C. Napier, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Langston and family, Ralph E. Langston and family. GOV BUSTILLO SAYS NO COLOR LINE IN CUBA special to The New York Age Notwithstanding the strong effort which has been made by newspapers in the United States to show that race prejudice in Cuba will interfere with the forthcoming prize light between Jack Johnson and Jess Willard at Havana, the following letter from the governor of the province of Havana, shows that prejudice exists only in the American imagination; and will not be in evidence among the Cultans: Colo in Muss d'Estrampes, Hotel Plaza Hayna, Cuba. *My Bear Friend.* In reply to your very esteemed favor of recent date, I owe to that I will take no measures to prevent the boxing match unfounded or for next month the world’s championship.

THE TUBMAN MONUMENT QUESTION OF LOCATION Suggestions Favoring Placing Memorial in Prominent Public Site MME. STUART 'TAKES' ISSUE Says State President Mirepresented Her Organization, The Harriet Tubman Neighborhood Club, Which Originated Idea of the Erection of a Monument. That considerable interest has been aroused by an editorial which appeared in THE AGE, concerning the location of the proposed monument to the late Harriet Tubman, is shown by the number of suggestions made by correspondents go this paper, and by the letters received from various officials of the Harriet Tubman organizations. At the time from Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of Empire State Federation, relied to some of the objections to placing the proposed monument over the grave of Harriet Tubman in the Auburn, N. Y., cemetery. The majority of the correspondents declared for, the placing of the monument in some public park, one suggesting also that the proper site for a monument would be the banks of the Hudson Mrs. Talbert explained in her letter published last week that the women's movement contemplated the marking of Harriet Tubman's grave, the grave being unmarked, and that the movement started with the Harriet Tubman Neighborhood Club of New York, Mme. Marie Jackson-Stuart, president, Said Mrs. Talbert; I had suggested to our federation that we erect a monument to Harriet Tubman in the form of an Aged Home for Colored People, as that had always been her. I also quite see the edifice of putting a monument of money in a stone, and for thus speaking I was severely criticised. However, at our last State meeting, Mrs. Marie Jackson Stuart, presenting the Harriet Tubman Neighborhood Club, made an exhortation plea to the Negro women of the club—chief women of her club which desired to erect a monument over her grave as her grave was unmarked. Mme. Stuart Objects to Statement. Mme. Stuart objects to the statement that she had appealed to the State organization for aid for the Tuliman monument, and submits the following letter for publication: To the Editor of The Are: Please allow me to correct a statement made by the president of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, in your last week's issue. The facts as given are somewhat distorted so far as my action at the last annual meeting is concerned. As a matter of fact, I never at any time made an appeal to the State women for the Tuliman monument. Nothing was written for my final had I hoped to say not a word in this discussion but I would be less than a woman not to defend-my Club when misrepresented. This question was asked on two different occasions in such a way as to reflect discredit upon my club friends, the white people of Auburn have erected a table in the courthouse in honor of the colored people. They are asking if the colored people are anything at the grave. It is a shame to leave this woman's grave unmarked. What is the Harriet Tubman Club going to do? If they are not going to do anything, say so and get out of the way, and let the State do it. The first day it was said, I was asked by one person, say so, to hear what she said. I replied. She said and I shall ignore anything savoring of unpleasantness." The next morning the same thing took place. I arose, addressed the chairman, stepped out to the front, and at some length gave the explanation why the club had rested upon its action—"the president of the state, his sympathy with the movement and we at least saved money." I was then asked if the club would give up the idea and let the State take it. I replied that I would not answer such a question without consulting my club. Miss S. E. Frazier made a motion that the State would assist the H. T. club with the assistance of the club. I accepted the assistance. I said I had not the power to answer for the club. After some talk I said I would take the responsibility and accept the assistance. I confess I was a little surprised when the president named the time, place and appointed the committee on the assistance of the house. This looks like the running of the house but I keep quiet, and did out the meaning of ASSIST." When, in all good faith, the suggestion was made to me about placing the monument in a public place I once wrote the president. She did not think well of it. I have tried to reassume with her and write "that we would mark the grave with a tablet but place the monument in a public service as an inspiration to the general public." The stands for a public place. The committee, those we could get, selected the name, judging from the letter in The Age, the Harlet, Tubman Club and her wishes don't count. "The State will erect at the grave, the club decides to place her efforts in a public place. The treasury is open to the State at any time. It is the case of getting away from the thousands of the "300 who will lap water." The club has been asleep in raiding funds and I am sure every well thinking man and woman will be in the way to such a noble character as Harriet Tubman. Some organizations such as the N. Y. and H. R. Porter's The Ladies Southern Beneficial League has sent, as per applicable; others, have prompted. Many individuals have given also, each receiving a receipt while we hold the stub. NANIE JACKSON STUART From the Tubman Home Managers. The board of managers of the Harrier Tubman Home, located at I. Danfgrth street, Auburn, N. Y., while concurring with the views recently expressed through the columns of The Age concerning the erection of a monument in one public place, instead of at the cemetery, at the same time advances the argument that Auburn, where Harrier Tubman lived and died, is the logical place for the location of the monument. The following communication has been received from the board of managers: To the Editor of The Age: There is at present a movement on foot in this state, fostered by the women of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs to erect somewhere in the city, a memorial in loving memory of Aunt Harriet Tulman. All of the women in the state, as represented by the different, local organizations, seem to be of the opinion as to this being a sting tribute to the memory of the great leader, Harriet Tulman. This project being manned by the women of the state and of the race, as air expression of loyalty, patriotism and love for the Moses of her race. There seem to be some differences on opinion as to where this monument, personal, interested, have suggested, and given various reasons therefor, that it be erected somewhere in the City of New York. The majority, however, seems destrous of having it placed on some selected spot in the city, in those memory it is erected. The latter seem to have the best reasons for their contention. We the members of the board of managers of the Tubman Home, wish to express our hearty appreciation for all that has been said and done in this chapter. We are grateful to our sincere hopes that in the event sufficient funds are secured, that the monument be erected in this city. We concur with your views as expressed in a recent issue of The New York Times, and we are grateful to a monument. We feel that the reasons given by you in the article referred to were sufficient to convince the most prejudiced mind that Anuburn is the proper place for it. Here is where she lives: here is where she was best known and here is where she died. MRS, C. G. CANNON, President, BREES, T. B. BREES, JAMES DALY, Treasurer, MRS, H. T. JOHNSON, Cor. secy MRS, C. A. SMITH, Matron, WHITE CHAUFFEURS WHITE CHAUFFEURS OBJECT TO NEGRO DRIVER Special to The New York Age MIAMI, Fla., March 23—Membett of the winter colony are up in arms because of the treatment accorded Charles Stultz, chauffer for Edward L. Stone, president of the Stone Printing and Manufacturing Company of Roanoke, Va. Mr. Stone, accompanied by W. H. Lewis, superintendent of motive power of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, has been touring, the South for several weeks in his auto, driven by Stultz, a Negro, who has been in Mr. Stone's employ for several years. The local organization of white chauffeurs threatened Stultz and stated he would not be allowed to drive in Miami. Mr. Stone appealed to the police for protection and was furnished two men, but was told he could not be given absolute protection. Mr. Stone shipped his car to Roanoke, and went on to Havana in company with Mr. Lewis. Stultz returned home by train. Mr. Stone, in speaking of the incident, said that he had used Negro drivers all over the South, but never before experienced such outrageous treatment, which seemed peculiar to Miami. "I shall warn my friends in the North. I have submitted to the treatment merely to avoid trouble which the authorities admit they cannot prevent." Visitors Are Indignant. The winter colony respected deeply the treatment accorded Mr. Stone and expressed themselves in emphatic terms. Harry S. Black, who employs a Negro porter on his private car, said: "The very idea that a man cannot come into Miami with Negro servants without being mobbed by a lot of rufians is a disgrace to the community. Any aggregation of men that attempts to interfere with the rights of a Negro mi-h employment should be dealt with by the authorities. If an example were made of some of the rufians it would inure to the standing of the community." Henry S. T. Stewart, banker of Pittsburg, said: "I cannot express myself too forcefully on the outrageous reception to Mr. Stone and his friends. If I kept a car in Miami and a Negro chauffeur he would drive for me if I had to carry a shotgun to protect him, and then if anything happened I would hold the city and county responsible." "I would not allow anybody to dictate to me the color of my servant," said E. O. Eshleigh, owner of the "Cincinnati Commercial Tribune." "You may quote me as strongly as you like in denouncing the Miami authorities for allowing such a condition to exist. I would drive my car as I pleased, and if necessary would enforce my right with a gun." Similar statements were made by Henry Sanford, James Deering and others of the winter colony. COLORED OFFICER HEADS ELIGIBLE/LIST Special to The New York Ark. Special to The New York Acq. OAKLAND, Cal., March 23—A M. Sanderson, who has been on the police force for several years, heads the list of twelve eligible for the position of apperform, from which five appointments are to be made. Although Sanderson is an efficient officer, the fact that he is colored operates to create a doubt as to whether will receive the promotion to which he is entitled. NO SEGREGATION FOR FARM LAND Editor of The Progressive Farmer Made a Desperate Effort to Secure Support for the Iniquitous Measure. OPPOSID BY SENATOR NASH Statesman From Orange County Made Speech That Defeated the Bill-Ballaves Disfranchisement Amendment Unconstitutional and Treatment Negro Discreditable to White People. Special to The New York Age Raleigh, N.C., March 23.—The legislature of North Carolina has refused, for the second time in two years, to enact the rural land segregation bill championed by Clarence Poe, editor of "The Progressive Farmer," this city, and the pet hobby of the Farmers' Union of the state. Poe has made a desperate effort to secure support for this iniquitous measure, and has devoted much space in the columns of his paper to propaganda in its behalf. After the legislature, two years ago, turned down the measure, Poe and the Farmers' Union began an even more active campaign, endeavoring, in every way possible, to arouse prejudice against Negro residents, both urban and rural. Senator Nash Opposed Measure. A strong factor against the bill was the opposition of Senator Nash of Orange country. His speech really defeated the bill. He declared his belief that the constitutional amendment passed in 1900, which disfranchised the Negro, were unconstitutional. He asserted also his conviction that continual makeshifts in the treatment of the Negro were discreditable to the white race. The editor of "The Progressive Farmer" was an interested auditor when the bill failed, but declared that it received as many votes as he expected. GOV. WILLIS TO GIVE RECOGNITION TO RACE to New York, New York Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. COLUMBUS, O., March 23.—There is an unfounded fear among the colored voters throughout Ohio that Governor Willis will overlook this contingent in passing out patronage. The evidence of this fear is to be found in complaints and criticism already heard among colored voters. The fact is the Governor has made very few appointments to date. He has been engaged with far larger questions than patronage—questions which affect the many rather than the few. For this reason the matter of patronage has been held in abeyance. Governor Willis fully appreciates the voting strength and the loyalty of the race in Ohio. He advised your correspondent that it was the intention to give to, the race the best thing it had ever had, and those who know the governor best, know that he sticks to his word; that he means to equitably recognize the race. It is too early to begin criticism; and too early to complain. Race Recognition Promised. It must be recalled that the governor promised the people of Ohio the enactment of certain legislation needed to decentralize what a former Democratic governor had centralized. The legislature is now in session, and much of the governor's time has been given to the questions of state which mean as much for our race as for the dominant race. Governor Willis' will unquestionably give to the race recognition, which will, both as to quantity and quality, meet the approval of the race. This assurance he vouchsafed to your correspondent before his election, and retreated it after his inauguration, and all who are familiar with the big-brained governor of Ohio know that he never indulges in reversible promises. The complaining and critics within the race are urged to give him time; time to dispose of the larger and more weighty questions; time, to reach the patronage question, which is, after all, a minor consideration when compared with the governor's beneficent program for rendering the people of the state, without regard to race or color, the highest possible service.

The Rev. Frederick A. Cullen should not permit the charges lodged against him to remain unanswered. They are too serious to be allowed to go unnoticed, and the M.E. Conference should not return him to the pastorate of Seward E. Church, and should fortunately disprove these accusations. This the Rev. Mr. Cullen owes to himself, his church and the people of this community where he has hitherto borne a good reputation. If those who have made avidlaws reflecting on the character of the Rev. Mr. Cullen, and those who have included statements against them have been guilty of malicious shatter, they should be summoned to court and dealt with according to law. We repeat that the charges registered against the Rev. Mr. Cullen are serious and that he should make it his business to disprove them. THE COLORED Y. M. C. A. As a result of the whirlwind Y. M. C. A. contribution campaign made last year, plans have been perfected for expending $1,000,000 or more for new buildings for white Associations: The sum of about $200,000 is to be expended for a building in Harlem for the colored men's branch. The Age urges upon all who subscribed to the fund to make good their pledges. By these pledges we have placed ourselves on trial, and we must not fall short. These pledges constitute a debt of honor, and should be paid even if in installments of only 25 or 50 cents at a time. When, we think of the thousands of colored young men in this city, and consider how seriously lacking they are in the right sort of moral and social environment and influences, we cannot but feel that a Y. M. C. A. with an adequate building and proper facilities for carrying on the work is worth every effort and every reasonable sacrifice that we can make to secure it. Without making any excuse for delinquency, The Age wishes to say to those in charge of the fund that it would be unfair to compare collections from the bulk of colored subscribers with collections made from the bulk of white people who contributed to this cause. We venture to state that if an appeal for such an object were made to white people of the same degree of wealth and earnings as the colored people who subscribed to this Y. M. C. A. fund, the percentage, neither of subscriptions or collections, would be as high. We also venture to state that if work is begun on a proper site, delinquent subscribers will pay up, and there will be, a revival of interest and enthusiasm among all the colored people of the city. Of course, if the building is stuck off in some insignificant side street in compliance with the argument that such a site is nearest to the greatest number of colored people, no such revival of interest or enthusiasm need be expected. A Y. M. C. A. building for us should be one to which we could point with pride. The Age trusts that colored architects will be given an equal chance with others in submitting plans for the new building, and that colored mechanics will be given an equal chance in its construction. In fact preference should be given to Negroes in the construction of the two buildings for the colored branches—here is an opportunity for those having control to prove that they believe in equal opportunity—here is where they can give us a real square deal. Again we urge upon all those who subscribed to pay their pledges. In this city one evening last week a bright eyed little white girl, five years of age, who had been sent on an errand, was attacked in the hallway of the apartment house where she lived by a friend of the "ripper" class. The body of the child was horribly mutilated, she was almost completely disembowelled and her throat was slashed. The only clues found were a stick of lemon; candy tightly clutched in the little victim's right hand and near her body a bloody piece of string to which clung a few strands of hair, presumably belonging to the perpertrator of the crime. We recite this revolting deed only because it shows up a certain error. An error which by the kind of notoriety that has been given to it has come to be accepted as a common truth. Whenever the crime of rape has been committed by some degenerate Negro the news has always been given to the world in such a way as to foster and strengthen the impression that the blacks are by nature a race of sensual brutes: In every book that seriously treats of the race question, the Negro's sensuality is dwelt upon. Some of these books go so far as to declare that the Negro is inferior in intellectual development because of the extreme strength of his sexual instinct. Grant that the Negro is endowed with stronger sexual instinct and powers than the white race—and this is nothing to be ashamed of so long as those powers are controlled—still, let this be remembered; not yet has he sunk so low in abnormality and perversion as has the more advanced race. Such a crime as the one cited above is so rare even among Negro degenerates of the lowest type as to be almost unknown, while among the lowest type of white degenerates it is of common occurrence. In fact, the sex crimes committed by the dregs of the black race are almost wholesome when compared with the sex crimes committed by the dregs of the white race. Please oblige me by stating your views on militarism as serving the best interests of a nation. Do you think that militarism does anything which could not be done at less cost through other agencies? We have read a great deal on this question, as everybody else who reads at all must have done. We have gone through all sorts of opinions on it from those of Von Bernhardi to those of Mr. Carnegie. And up to the present, we have not been able to decide in our own mind which side, the militarist or the pacifists, is right. In our humble opinion they are both right; and conversely, they are both wrong. That is the difficulty with questions of this nature, both sides can be right or wrong. It is because your answer depends upon your point of view. If you look at the question we are considering from the point of view of the ideal, from the point of view of how we should like things to be, then you are, undoubtedly a pacifist. If you look at things as they are and have been as far as history goes back, you are, at least to some degree, a militarist. Those who are extremists are those who will not look at both sides. The extreme pacifist goes so far as to advocate non-resistance. That is, if somebody attacks your country, let them come in and take it, for by such a course, bloodshed would be avoided. It is impossible for the most extreme militarist to be guilty of an equal absurdity, for the most that he dares to assert is that military preparedness is necessary for self-defense. The nearer these two sides come to a compromise, the stronger grow the arguments for peace and the weaker those for war. But when these two sides go to extremes, the arguments for war grow stronger and those for peace weaker. That is, it is more sensible to say that we shall arm and prepare ourselves so that if any nation attacks us we shall not only defend ourselves, but we shall crush that nation so that it cannot attack us again, than it is to say that, if we are attacked we shall not resist, and in that way, bloodshed will be avoided. The truth is, war is a terrible thing; but there are other things worse than war. To be a nation of slaves is a worse thing than a war for liberty. To allow the right to be trampled under foot is a worse thing than a war for a righteous cause. President Lowell, of Harvard, expresses a great deal of practical wisdom in the following brief statement: Sensible people hope and expect we shall long be at peace with all the world, just as sensible people hope and expect their houses, will not catch fire. But sensible men insure their houses and a sensible people will prepare themselves sufficiently to defend their soil. And the need of preparation is real. There is reason to hope that nations will less and less frequently settle their differences by war, but there is no ground to believe, as long as human nature is human, nature, that the time is near when war will cease to be the "last resort." CATHOLIC GAINS. The Official Catholic Directory shows that the Roman Catholic church has increased in numbers a quarter of a million in the last year. It also shows a gain of nearly four million in the past ten years and more than seven million in the past twenty years. These figures will alarm a great many good people, who will see in them the ultimate downfall of the Republic and a lot of other dire disasters. For our part, we should like to see more of the Catholic spirit instilled into our great Protestant and other denominations. The Catholic church in this country is that religious body in which wealth, social distinction, class and race count for the least. The humblest, poorest and most ignorant immigrant entering New York can go up into the great Cathedral on Fifth avenue, and feel that he is welcome, and the truth is, he is welcome. Anyone in such circumstances would hesitate for some time before entering a rich Protestant church. It is almost impossible to think of a Catholic priest preaching race discrimination or urging his congregation to go out and lynch somebody. If all the great Christian organizations in this country had the religious and moral courage to openly disapprove the injustice, lawlessness and cruelty which the Negro has to suffer, those sins and crimes would soon be stopped. LEAN BARREN DAYS. These are dark, dreary days, likewise lean, barren days, for colored Republicans throughout the Nation, and the coat of gloom that envelops them has become so thick it can be cut with a knife. Two forces are operating to bring about this menial depression among colored Republicans—the crusade inaugurated by the Wilson administration to separate all colored men holding representative positions from the pay-roll of the Federal Government, whether under, civil service or otherwise, and the marked persistence shown by Republican officials and those who style themselves as Independents, to keep in office colored Democrats who worked ardently against their election. New York city colored Republicans in particular have suffered greatly because of the petticulous activity displayed by the Wilson Administration on one hand and the tendency of Republican and Independent officials to show preference to colored Democrats on the other. Since the inauguration of Wilson as President of the United States, and presumably of all the people, colored men of New York City have been removed from the following positions: United States Minister to Liberia, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York; a revenue agent at $3,600; three gangers at $1,650 a year, six deputy collectors of the Internal Revenue and a consul to Corinto. Furthermore, 150 laborers employed under the Collector of Customs and the Appraiser of Port at $75 a month were recently out, owing to falling off of commerce, due to the European war, and it goes without saying that—the majority of men discharged were colored. And this wholesale removal of New York colored men, holding Federal positions, is to continue. When Mayor Mitchel was nominated for Mayor at a meeting of the Committee of Seven, and barely received the nomination, rumor had it that colored men played a prominent part by loyalty standing by him and casting their votes in his favor. On election day the colored, voters rallied to his support, all but those who represent the Tammany Hall faction. So far Mayor Mitchel has manifested his gratitude by failing to appoint one colored, man to office, although he is now in his second year as Mayor. Mayor, Mitchel, Corporation Counsel Polk and others who owe much to the colored Republicans of Greater New York are known as the advisors of President Wilson on all matters affecting the local situation. And yet, every move made by them has been inimical to the interests and progress of the colored citizens, and they have been instrumental in having colored men removed and white men appointed as their successors. Colored Democrats of the Tammany stripe, who assailed Mayor Mitchel and the other candidates on the Independent ticket, and who supported the Tammany candidate, are yet comfortably ensecured in their jobs and the Mitchel administration has grown unmindful of their strong opposition on the stump. Among the positions held by those charged with being affiliated with Tammany Hall are: One Assistance Counsel at $8,800, one clerk of the Municipal Court at $2,000, one clerk in the City Controller's office at $1,600 and several Tammany men in other city departments. But "the most unkindest cut of all" has been inflicted by the Republicans in power at Albany, who although they have not appointed one colored Republican to office, have retained colored Democrats. In the State Controllor's office, New York City, two colored Democrats continue to hold jobs at $2,000 a year; a colored Democrat who is most active in politics is yet an inspector if the Department of Labor, a Democrat is an inspector in the Exeise Commission, while there are a number of Deputy State Superintendents of Elections. Then several minor jobs could be enumerated. When Charles W. Anderson ceases to become Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second Djstrict, New York, within a few days the incident will mark the retirement of the last colored man holding a big position under the Federal Government. No doubt should now exist in the minds of the colored citizens of this country as to the attitude of the Democratic party toward them when in charge of the affairs of the National Government. Those where, from Missouri, have been shown. Can it be that there iscerted movement on foot todevelop a new political speciesin this country to rival the Republican elephant, the Democratic donkey or the Bullmoose? If so we would at once name it the cannel,for the cannel bears the reputationof being able to live a long timewithout subsistence. ColoredRepublicans have but little to feedup these days, and the goodlyportion of their menu consists ofpleasant recollections of the past. Although it is said that hopesprings eternal in the humanbreast, colored volers—Republicans and Democrat—have longsince given up hope that theWilson administration will give theNegro a fair deal, as promised byWoodrow Wilson when he wasseeking the colored man'ssupport. Hope in this direction isdead and the interment has beenheld. But to Republicans andIndependent colored Republicansstill look for succor, and whileshowing that characteristic forwhich Job won name and fame,yet at this hour they cry out: "How long, O gentlemen, willyou abuse our patience?" PARAGRAPHIS President Monocal of Cuba, accompanied by his two sons, the Secretary of Government and the Postmaster General, visited Jack Johnson's quarters in Havana and watched him train for a couple of hours. The President made it known that his visit was for the express purpose of killing the rumors that the Cuban Government was opposed to a "mixed contest." A New Orleans doctor has examined Jess Willard and pronounced him the finest specimen he ever saw. Well, let's have no excuses after the fight. COMMENDING THE AGE The Ago in South Sea Islands. To the Editor of The Ago I find great pleasure in reading your paper which is of great interest to me. I presume, sir, that you do not know just how far your paper travels from you to 410 Se. Jessup Avenue, Passaic, Ciff, has been taking your paper for a number of years and later been sending them to me.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." To the Editor of THE Age: I went last night to see "The Birth of a 'Nation.'" and the contempt I have always had for that dangerous hypocrite, the Rev. Thomas Dixon, was intensified a thousand fold. I am glad the colored people of this city are publicly showing themselves so much his superior and so much more civilized in their self-restraint than the average white man usually is under race persecution. The evil of Mr. Dixon is that it is not even the ordinary stupid prejudice which blinds him, and which may at least be honest; but personal malice, and a mercenary desire to make money out of the reawakening of old bitterness between the races and the North and South. However, it is not the first time the devil has worn the habit of a monk, or that brotherly hate has spoken in the accents of brotherly love. A monk who seeks to degrade Lincoln to his level, and does not stop at sacrilege to the Christ, will surely meet sooner or later the universal contempt he deserves. New York City. ROSALIE M. JONAS. The Negro Newspaper. It would be runk presumption to think of defending the publishing of Negro newspapers. There is no doubt about the truth of a recent statement in the general press our misleads are told to headline, while our efforts in any landable direction are simply skinned over or presented in some inconspicuous manner, and that we have learned and constant rectifications in paper for careful and constant rectifications in the Negro is a prominent and worthy actor. With many of us this is preeminently all that we expect from that man who is to the white man's papers for information and to move movements and topics in general. The Negro paper, however, finds no mean place. It has risen out of the experimental stage and has made a name for information. Negro family, often holding the title of purchaser and read. This makes the option of the Negro educator one of great opportunity and makes us wish that every one of them would use it. This large following is in the intreaches of city state and national government. Why had been an a series of articles exploiting and obstructing bills and policies discussed in Washington and at the state capitals? Why not in Atheism is the belief that there is no God and that they are opposed. Why not tell the people what are the points that distinguish Billy Sunday's theology, and advise the reader about the damn emolitionism and the damn emolitionism methods in all the affairs of life? In a word, 'let us acknowledge that a large number of the Negro population do not cultivate the reading habit, but that the Negro, newspaper, book, and house where no daily paper is read, and let us ask our editors to consider the special opportunity to dispense nourishing and necessary, diet instead of many articles that contain details of unprofitable and unpopular social functions. Significance of the Frank Murder Notes To the Editor of The Age: Antent, the Frank murder case, will you grant me space in your valuable columns to express your concern of those famous "murder notews"? The defense claims that the significance of their pronounced stupidity is conclusive to their original necessity, and the necessary accessory, "Jim" Conley. This version favors the Negro when confronted with the fact that the prime aim of the defenses legal tactics was to establish his narrative testimony false, remarkable for its wealth of descriptive detail, significant and insignificant in incident, do not contain a score of witnesses, isn't compatible with that lack of forethought, that either originated or permitted another, to impose such incriminating evidence on the other hand, a mind so irrational, especially since the Negro is mentally regarded initiative and not inventive, could have related Conley's simile story for only a good memory. His description of handling the limp body of the dead little girl and how it fell from his shoulders, and how the stiffening limits protruded from corners of the cloth wrapped around his neck and how Frank, adding with the grain load, walked rapidly, and other minute description, could hardly be imagined. Were the characters and situation-designed by a master fictionalist, as pure invention, or would design be designed such description without experiencing the concrete facts. Even the literature of the American Negro revivals about only three descriptive facts that have once face has not been fully stimulated by those economic impulses which develon the mind in detail, modifies, enriches, enlightens, enunciates that, a mentality as dull as Conley, is supposed to possess could fabricate testimony to impregnably withstand the robustness, grilliness, and insolence of the South's most brilliant local minds. Of course my version of the case is conjectural and no doubt there will be a third version of the fission is forthcoming. But there is one thing indisputable and it is this: the suspects were Negre and perjure, unassisted, testimony that thrice convinced the courts of Georgia, that he was telling the truth, the time, and nothing but the truth. "The Last Word on Oklahoma Conditions." To the Editor of The Age: Under the above caption, the Rev W. H. McCormick, Rega, Oklahoma, takes occasion to discuss, first: my "limited experience" as a presiding elder; my pastorate: length of residence in Oklahoma; my "first for notoriously wrong behavior"; I wish to remind your readers that I am not an Oklahomaan, and my experience, my pastorate, etc., do not constitute the issue which provoked this news. I was the aspersions cast by him on the Negro farmers, the Negro teachers, preachers and elders, "respective of denomination." He now lives in Oklahoma, and about nine years. If he had reference to nine years ago, tell us so. We live in the present, and from what we see in print, from one who is supposed to know, it is presumed that the time when he was nine years ago there were conditions of which he complains, he might go back even farther, and complain that the world was once in gross darkness, and brooded, over the face of the deaf. Alas, if you will re-read your article which brought about this reply, and the former one, all of it smacks; of present life, in this state. But, why he has gone from the issue, and the article has gained the notoriety, for him, while he thought another wanted. So, in conclusion, there is nothing for further consideration in relation to the "forming out" of appointments. The statement falls to his own weight. Alas, ex nihil, nihil enti. M. PERRIN. VICIOUS LEGISLATION The difficulties that confront the law-allying 'Negro' in the South steadily increase. A bill to prevent the employment of Negroes by any railroad in North Carolina, veldled unimpeded by the federal statute of that state. Although only a few hundred Negroes are so employed, and the railroads promised in 1910 not to increase the percentage of their colored employees, the unions continue to oppose them. In Christian and Cattie County, Kentucky, a fresh set of SPRING. Earth has changed her winter garments in green; Easter illies deck her boom; Modest violets are seen. Buttercup stands out all golden; Hyacinth's bells begin to ring. Fragrance comes from sweet Narcissus; All the birds now shirp and sleep; Nature seems no full of gladness; That her face breaks in a smile; With the sun in ardent glances; With his rays doth her beguile. Father, may our hearts be ever true; Father, may our hearts be ever true; And 'the spring gives place to summer May we e'er find gladness there. —EPIRB T.

G. WILSON. Camden, Ala. "hopligiani"—so the Louisville Courrier Journal calls them—are driving out the Negroes. Those misfeitants, that newspaper, are the direct successors of the night-riders, the night-riders was tolerated so complacently by the State a few years ago. It points out that the colored people, who are in a law-abiding and innocent of any offence. In Congress the offering of anti-Negro bills goes on apace. Already a serious anti-intermarriage measure in the House has been thinking, this seems desirable; to one who looks below the surface, it plainly has no other effect than to intensify the violence it aims, while leaving the colored women mercy of the deprived of the other race. Such newspapers as the Congregationalist and Springfield Republican will denounce the bill. "No one will accuse them of urging intermarriage." RALEIGH N C Haleigh, N. C., Counselor W. A.

In Stewart, Tunkeridge Institute, write SHOWN IN PHOTO PLAY-INCIDENT THE BIRTH OF A NATION, formerly notorious known as "The Clansman," and advertised as "the greatest photographic spectacle of modern times," continues to fill its mission at the Liberty Theatre—to ridicule the colored American and to excite race hatred. Thousands of dollars are being expended weekly in newspaper advertising, and throughout Greater New York one is greeted by huge posters, printed in large letters and ink of the gayest colors, which tell of "the wonderful attraction at the" Liberty Theatre." Although legal proceedings have been instituted in the police courts against the manager of the picture, charging him with showing a filim that is vicious and a menace to public morals, the case has been dragging along at a snail's pace for over two weeks, having been transferred from one court to another. Continuance after continuance has been granted, during all of which time "The Birth of a Nation" is permitted by city officials to carry on its wicked work unmolested: The extremely cautious manner in which local authorities find it necessary to move in response to the demand that "The Birth of a Nation" be suppressed for the good of the public, and the lack of knowledge exhibited by them as to the proper person to take the initiative in suppressing the photo-play has redounded to the good of the motion picture people. The "celerity" shown by the city officials in exerting their authority in this instance is in marked contrast to their usual methods. For instance, all theatre managers using motion pictures are constantly receiving communications from the Commissioner of Licenses instructing them not to show certain pictures that have been officially banned as vicious and a menace to public morals. Managers are informed that if they disobey instructions, their theatre license will be revoked. Why the manager of the Liberty Theatre enjoys special privileges and is immune from such regulations is tinged with an air of mystery. When "The Clansman" was-going about the country striving to stir up racial animosities the Mayors of Northern and, Southern cities issued orders that the play be suppressed. Mayor Mitchel has expressed himself as being deeply interested in the effect of colored citizens to stop the photo-play, and he has sent representatives to see "The Birth of a Nation." They have reported that the picture is calculated to have an injurious effect upon the friendly relations existing between colored and white citizens. However, no word has been received from the Mayor's office that he would personally take action and see to it that "The Birth of a Nation" met a timely and well-deserved death in New York. The failure to date to stop the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation" at the Liberty Theatre has painfully emphasized two facts: The weakness of the colored citizens of New York, due to their refusal to properly organize for their own good, and the strength of the radical Southerners in New York, due to their concerted movement to sow the seed of race hatred and push their anti-Negro propaganda at all times and in all places. The quest for gold is not the only motive actuating those who have spent thousands and thousands of dollars in producing "The Birth of a Nation," alias "The Clansman." There are ulterior motives, sinister and significant, which have been obscured by the commercial aspect presented. It is curious to note that in this "get together era," in which the North and the South are principals, that the olive branch is being constantly extended by the North, which is told by the South not to meddle into its race questions, as it knows best and can satisfactorily set all differences without outside interference. When such plays as "Uncle Tom's Cabin" are sent South, the natives pull their hair and raye and claim that their finer feelings have been bruised and their honor insulted. Then, rivaling the chameleon, you will find the same exponents of "Home Rule" coming North, telling Northerners how they should handle the race question in this section of the country, and doing all in their power to sow the seed of race antipathy. This is what those behind the production of "The Birth of a Nation" are doing. "The Birth of a Nation" does not treat of the race problem in the North, neither does it represent conditions as they exist in the South to-day. But it is more the weakness of the colored citizens of New York than the strength of the radical Southerners that the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation" has not been stepped. Had the picture defamed the Irish or the Jews how different things would be! But the Irish and Jewish citizens of New York are organized and are always ready to effectively fight any attempt to publicly libel and humiliate them. The colored man in New York is long on talk, but short on, the ammunition necessary to bring a fight to a successful issue. If a movement was started to raise a fund to bring injunction proceedings against the producers of "The Birth of a Nation" it is safe to assert that out of all the colored people in Greater New York $500 could not be raised. It is not that we are without organizations, but the principal aim of nine out of ten is to look after you when you die. Few if any of our organizations are conducted in, the interest of the living. The strongest sermons against the presentation of "The Birth of a Nation" have been delivered by white ministers; in fact, few colored ministers regard the theatre as a fit subject for discourse; as it does not deal with the spiritual. S sooner or later members of the race in New York City and elsewhere will learn that the Negro, not the white man, is our worst enemy, and that until we possess race consciousness, race respect, race confidence, and organize, we must expect, to be ridiculed and humiliated. It is because our weakness is thoroughly appreciated that "The Birth of a Nation" is permitted to make its vicious appeal-without interruption at the Liberty Theatre. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS Thomas A. Brookes is with Sliding Billy Watson Company at the Gayety Theatre, Washington, with Gayety Theatre, Pittsburgh, to follow. Henderson & Wise are playing engagements in and around Chicago, and are hooked to open on the Dutterfield time in April. Coleman & Somers announce a new song. Battling Jim Johnson is slated to meet Sam Langford at the 155th Street Club on March 30. Anita Bush is appearing in a new act, known as the Seven Tangarooads, staged by Joe Jordan. The act had its initial appearance at the Lafayette Theatre last week and was well received. J. Leubrich Hill is back from Atlantic City, where he spent several weeks recuperating. Alex Rogers, who has been in ill health for several weeks at his home in Brooklyn, is recuperating. Rumors are in the air about a new vaudeville circuit soon to be formed with the Lafayette Theatre. New York, as the keystone of the circuit. Sandifer-Marshall are at Prisella Theatre, Cleveland. LAFAYETTE THEATRE. Variety and briskness were the distinguishing features of the bill at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week. The acts did not savor of too much sameness and there was not a dull spot in evidence. Buster & Bailey, the headline act, opened big, went big throughout their dialogue and song and closed big, which is going some. They have an act in which they sing, dance and indulge in reparties, and all of it is good. Buster is a coming comedian, and he has at last secured a good straight man in Bailey. The Old Dominion Four, although there are five in the act, harmonize well. They inject just enough comedy to keep away the monotony. There is every reason to believe the act will get plenty of booking. The Continental Trio command interest with their musical instruments—a mandolin, guitar, and 'cello. The members of the trio work well together. They close their act by performing the difficult feat of exchanging instruments at intervals while playing "At the Ball, Thats All." Other acts on the bill were Edith Merrilles & Co., in songs of different nations; the Four Belles, in one of the best acrobatic turns seen at the Lafayette recently, and Linden & Sterling in a comedy sketch. Buster & Bailey have been held over for the second half.

The Smashing T THE TEM THE VER Manhatt Thursday, A Tickets Selling in Advance at 119 W AN UNFAIR FLING. AN INTERNAL PLANE THERE CAN BE NO QUESTION about the gameness of W. Randolph Granger. Dartmouth's colored filter, after his great race with Johnny Overton of Yale in the 4,900 yard intercollegiate relay in the Garden-last Saturday night. Not that Granger's grit has ever been doubted, either, but so often one hears it remarked that colored runners are deficient in the matter of "sticking" in a hot finish.—N. Y. Globe. --- Such is the comment that appeared in The Globe after Granger had aided his team in taking first place in possibly the most exciting relay race ever run at the Garden. We quite agree with The Globe about the gameness of Granger, but must take issue when they criticise the colored runner's "sticking" power. In making such a criticism they don't take into consideration the lack of training facilities had by colored runners; they don't seem to remember that, on this same account, rarely does more than two colored runners start in any event above a quarter of a mile, and they seem to forget entirely that though twenty-five or thirty men may start in this race, all eyes will stay on the one or two colored runners through the entire race. White runners drop out without any special notice. But if a colored runner, who prepares himself than in the strong to do his training, drops out in race he is criticised. It is a fact also that rarely does such dropping out occur in the out-door season. Take Aaron Morris's race against Tom Collins, the Irish-American champion, at Celtic Park. Morris was then little more than a novice but persuaded to play the race and heartily cheered by the whole grandstand, though he breezed home a beaten man. In no less grand-style did Powe, Howard 'University's' old half-miler, show up against Homer Baker in the senior championship last fall when the latter had just returned from defeating the best on 'the other side.' In the half mile these men jumped up and ran the jump but when Baker got in front Powe stuck right behind him to the finish—taking third place. The Globe's criticism of Negro runners is unjust and narrow. Salem Crescent A. C. Weekly Runs. The Salem Crescent Club is now holding cross country runs from its club house, 102-4 West 133d street, every Tuesday and Thursday night. Last Thursday night the first open handicap was run. Jim Brunson easily won over a field of select barriers. The run on Tuesday night was won by Jim Brunson, who over a five mile course, W. Stokley, A. Morris and T. Harris started from scratch giving liberal marks up to five minutes. Jim Brunson had't the race won, but sprained his ankle when only a short distance from home, and had to jog in slowly the rest of the way. Baseball at Lincoln The team that will wear the colors for Lincoln University in the inter-collegiate series this season will be a stranger combination than for some years. The practice show that Ogburn as captain and Prof. Grim, as coach, have struck the right line. Lincoln will play inside baseball this year if Ogburn is not. Ogburn will be abandoned. Ogburn has shown up to this time that he is a real captain and not a trifler. He latthe boss of the outfit and his word is law. It looks as if the shortstop problem is a ching of the past. "Little" Stevie's thinking that position, he is fast, aggressive and has a great mark on ground balls and has a wonderful with. "Lone" Cain is playing good ball at second; Fawkins, last year, still, although a little slower, has a same branch must also be considered. The pitching-staff is well supplied this year with ten promising young fellows... Among the right-handers Douglas seems the best. There are two left-handers who are showing all kinds of stuff thus far. First base at present looks to be the weakest spot, but by the time V. S. Young recovers from his illness and puts in his appointment that corner will be well cared for. The catching problem will bring out a strenuous test between R. Lockett of Georgia, and Chamberlin of Baltimore. Of the new-comers for third Smith is easily the best and he is almost sure to stick. He looks like the best third baseman Lincoln has had since the passing of "Big" Perry. He has the knack of snapping the ball underhanded and off balance and retiring fast runners who would be safe if he straightened up to make the throw shows up well in batting from the left side. Kimbraigh is a snug fielder and a hard hitter and cannot be overlooked in calculations. Lockett is small in size but might clean hander of ground balls. Tompkins has not had much chance to show his ability. Clark, last year's catcher, is covering ground in right field in fine style. He is getting faster every day. When Barmum and Wheaton appeared on the field for the first time they jumped right into the hard work and-from the "pep" shown they should have a big year this season. Like the old lady who lived in the outfield outliders he doesn't know what to do. Excepting Barmum, who is a fixture in left field, every one of the nine others must battle for a job. Triumph of 1915 IPO CLUB NAL FETE an Casino April 22, 1915 Fell 136th Street, Phone 441 Audubon Morehouse 4; Atlanta University 1. On last Saturday afternoon the Morehouse Tigers met and routed their old-time rival, Atlanta University, by the score of 4 to 1 on Morehouse Campus, Atlanta. A cold brisk wind was blowing from the Northwest and made the afternoon more challenging to both players the fans, but both teams were keyed up to a high pitch and the game resulted in a royal battle. The veteran Nance, was on the mound for Morehouse, while Fowler took up the burden for A. U. It was a pitcher's battle from start to finish, but Nance had the edge on his opponent, and hold the batters safe, while his teammates outed it in the victory. In the eleventh when the Tigers got on to Fowler, the holding of both teams was excellent. This victory makes two straights for Morehouse. The score: MOREHOUSE ATLANTA UNIV.

Richardson's Assemblies at Palace. The Palace Casino, 14 East 135th street, was crowded last Saturday night when fully 500 people attended the Saturday evening dancing assembly under the management of R. A. Richardson, who had good music in attendance. Assessors are hold each Saturday evening and as this is the only Saturday dancing class in Harlem, it is expected that many hundred more will attend this Saturday evening. WITH THE BOWLERS Thursday night's contest was the tameest of any during the season, not a single brilliant play, no score worth mentioning was made by any bowler on any one of the teams. The Hoons had a chance to beat the Speedwells in a slow game, but fell down as usual, although they did manage to win. The bowlers are now leading by three games, and unless the other two teams come to life, they will finish in first place and add another leg on the cup. Boyd of the Alpha Club was missing from this week's contest. He is quite sick. This was a drawback, as Thompson and Washington of the Avon struggle: trying to find the groove, trying to get back to form, but it seems impossible. Smiling Jim Anderson is holding his own this season, always encouraging his team-mates to give up hopes when they are far in the rear.
