PROMISE TO TONE DOWN TWO SCENES OF VICIOUS PHOTO PLAY Mayor Mitchel Informs Large Delegation of Citizens That Picture People Have Agreed to Eliminate Objectionable Pictures HEARING HELD BY MAYOR MITCHEL MONDAY Prominent Members of Both Races Fill Board of Estimate Room at City Hall and Register Protest Against Production of "TheBirth of a Nation." White and Colored People Inform Mayor That Film Creates Racial Antagonism, Has Moral Effect Upon Citizens and Is Historically Incorrect. At the conclusion of the hearing held Monday, noon, at the City Hall, at which a delegation of prominent white and colored citizens protested to the city's chief executive against the production of the photo play, "The Birth of a Nation," alias "The Clansman," Mayor Mitchel announced that the owners of the vicious film and the managers of the Liberty Theatre had decided to eliminate the two most objectionable scenes. The Mayor further stated that he had viewed the picture and agreed with the speakers that many of the scenes tended to incite riot and disturb the friendly relations existing between the white and colored citizens of Greater New, York; that some days ago he had taken up the matter of toning down the picture through his Commissioner of Licenses and the picture people had agreed to present the film minus the two scenes in question commencing Monday evening of this week. Mayor Mitchel assured his hearers that any other disagreeable and objectionable scenes, regarded as a libel on the Negro, if found after the first pruning process would be cut out. Negroes Show Deep Interest. The hearing was attended by, over five hundred colored and white citizens, the colored citizens being largely in the majority. So 'large' was the gathering to hear the delegation protest to the Mayor against the photo play that the hearing was held in the Board of Estimate room. Although the colored citizens, choking with indignation, were present to voice their disapproval against the production of a picture that characterized them as beast, the gathering was a most orderly one. The only time the hearers gave sent to their feeling was when some speaking drove home a telling point refuting the untruths told in the photo play or when some reference was made to the details of the colored American. That the Negroes of Greater New York were deeply interested in the hearing was evidenced by the large turn-out and the character of colored citizens present. High churchmen, business and professional men and women deeply interested in the progress of their race were on hand, and their neat personal appearance was in itself a strong denial to the shirts made against the Negro in "The Birth, of a Nation." The speakers were presented to the Mayor by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, who pointed out to Mayor, Mitchel that the mayors of Philadelphia, Boston and other cities had put Dixon's "The Clansman" under the ban, and he contended that this city's chief executive had the same prerogative. Attack on Defenseless Race. Frederick C. Howe, Commissioner of Immigration, and chairman of the National Board of Censorship, appeared unofficially as a citizen to protest against the effect of the photo play which portrayed the Negro as a lustful, degraded creature, which he declared was a cruel, vindictive and untrue degradation of a part of the country's citizenship which was unable to defend itself, having no voice in the law-making bodies or the daily newspapers. Dr. William H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, reminded the Mayor of his promise of fair play to the Negro made in Dr. Brooks' church when seeking the nomination for Mayor. The speaker and he had seen the picture, which he regarded as a libel on his property and asked the Mayor to suppress it in good order to the community. She Tilton D. Wald, an East Side settlement worker, told Mayor Mitchell that it was possible to measure the potential dangers that threaten the community to the production was permitted to go on and she said she did not below "The Birth of a Nation" to be historically true. Dr W. F. R Dui Bois, editor of the Crayon, said that many persons were convicted at work to stir up prejudice against the white and colored races, and that this was the last time and the last place, which such a propaganda, furthers, a new machine, ought to be permitted. Ellen Stuart S. Wise characterized the death on the Negro as "gowar- ward" as it was made against people, and he peaked for itself. He de- scribed it as true that the Mayor had to stop this indiscreciably loat- ed outsome slime on a race of hams, and then it was true that cow- ernment had broken down. He referred to the members of the Board of Censors as contemptible cowards, and praised the colored citizens of New York for their patience. The speaker spoke of the patience of the colored people and compared the conduct of the Irish citizens who some years ago rose in protest and attacked the "Playboy of the West." Oswald G. Villard, publisher of the *Evening Post*, told Mayor Mitchel that the picture was improper, humoral and unjust, and said he would stake whatever reputation he may have as a historical student on his charges against "The Birth of a Nation." Fred R. Moore, editor of *True Ace*, asked that the Mayor give his race fair play. He gave statistics showing the number of practicing colored physicians and lawyers in Greater New York of the amount of real estate owned by the race and the large sums of money colored people have on deposit in the local banks. He stated that statistics show that the Negro was other than beastly, as charged by the photo play, and he created great enthusiasm when he touched on the loyalty of the colored citizen, declaring that the Negro had never fired on the President of the United States and had never attempted to assassinate the Mayor of New York City. George E. Wibecan also spoke. The following resolutions of the Committee on Education and Publicity of New York Progressive Committee, Lyle Evans Mahan, chairman, were adopted; Whereas, Certain of the pictures shown in "The Birth of a Nation" exhibit the Negro race in a light entirely unfair to the colored citizen of to-day; Whereas, the effect of this distorted portrayal and this raising of by-gone issues is to excite race prejudices, which public policy requires should be allayed rather than fomented; Resolved, That we disapprove the unfair portrayals of the colored race in "The Birth of a Nation." "SLAVISH JOB." SAYS BISHOP JOHN HURST Special to the New York New. Baltimore, Md. March 31.—"I thank you thought that the episcopacy was such a slavish job" was the confession made by Bishop John Hurst at the meeting of the A. M. E. Ministerial Association Monday. "It means nurturing labor for the man who has the interest of the church at heart. It seems deep thought, perplexing situations and a desire to do the right thing at right time, if one is conscientious. Of course, I would not give it up now that I have nothing else, but I am trying to disbuse your minds of the idea that the bishopric is an easy thing." There were at least two aspirants for the bishopric within the chapel of Refhel, Church, where the bishop was speaking, but neither of them gave the least blunt that their desire for episcopal honors had in anyway altered. The two ministers referred to are Drs. D. G. Hill, who is mentioned for the episcopacy in conversation with the South African work and A. L. Zahnes. Bishop and Mrs. Hurst returned from Florida Tuesday evening of last week. He will sail from New York for the West Indies next Monday. PRINCETON MAN'S GAB DIAPASON OF JACKASS Dr. Ransom Makes Strong Reply to Address of Prof. Myers of Princeton Hold Mammoth Meeting of Protest in Academy of Music Where Objectionable Speech Was Made a Month Ago-White and Colored Citizens Voice Indignation The music hall of the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, was filled on Thursday evening, March 25, with citizens who met to protest against certain utterances made in the same hall on February 27 by William Starr Myers of Princeton University, which are derogatory to the Negro race. The Rex, Reverdy C. Ransom was one of the speakers and he characterized the utterances of Prof. Myers as the "grand diapason of a jack-ass." Dr. Ransom said that no point of attack is too insignificant to be overlooked in the general assault which is being made all along the line upon Americans of African-descent, and that the avowed purpose of these assaults is to discredit these Americans as men and citizens. He said that Myers' outgivings on the race question will be better understood in the light of the fact that he is from Princeton, a southern school on northern soil, of which "Woodrow-Wilson, segregationalist, pledge-breaker and President of the United States was once the official head," where the "true universally spirit is stifled by the spirit of slavery." During 1914, said the speaker, 49 Negroes were put to death by mobs whose spirit of violence is inspired by such outgivings as those uttered by Myers, the Princeton professor. Referring to a statement by Myers that the ballot is a curse to the Negro race, Dr. Ransom said: Fateful Use of Ballot. "As to the ballot, we recall an example in the recent past when it was a curse to the Negro race. It was on that fateful day, the first Tuesday in November, 1912, when a few high-minded Negroes, believing In the solemn promises of one Woodrow Wilson, used their ballot to assist in election to the presidency, as a which he for the first time introduced the principle of race segregation in the United States government. "Professor Myers says that he does not believe in social equality. I do not believe in white supremacy. Our republic cannot stand if it is to be based upon wealth, color, religion or race. Professor Myers like President Wilson would dollar Negroes from participating in common with other Americans in the government under which they live. He admores the amnesiac and unpathetic, and is far more monogamous in the safety and property of American institutions than any unfounded fear as to the use of the ballot in the hands of the black men. A Deliberate Slander. Professor Myers utters a deliberate slander when he makes the statement his own that 98 per cent. of all Negro men are immoral; and that the proportion of immoral women is nearly as great." A man who can be as reckless in statement as that in a place so dedicated to the blicher and better man, Brooklyn Academy of Music is not fit to be permitted to room in large. If we were to take the scandals, thefts and murders with which the columns of our great daily papers are rocking, we might jump to the conclusion that 98 per cent of the white men and women were immoral and criminal; it was men of like spirit and blood through the most recent session of Congress a bill for bidding marriage between the races, thus making of every colored, women and girl a human thing to be the common prey of the lust and passion of white men and leaving them before the law without protection or redress. Because his race here is produced inork and New York, he is produced inork through the Gospel who are proved seductionists and murderers, and because they have produced men of education wealth and social position guilty of litchi orines against the social order his race is not denounced as 98 per cent. Immoral. The meeting was opened with prayers by the Rev. Wm. M. Moss, and other speakers, included "Commissioner of Parks Raymond V. Inseroel, M. M. R. Lyons, Commissioner Julius I. Mielho, Dr. O. M. Waller and the Rev John L. Belford, rector of the Roman Anglican Church of the Natity. Oppose" Intolerance With Sympathy. Park Commissioner Ingersoll said race misinjustice and national prejudice had plunged Europe into the most dreadful tragedy of history, and he thought it time for this country to realize its peculiar blessings in being relatively free from such perils. "I believe, however," he said, "that we have not worked this out so well in the relations of the white, and the colored peoples' as in some other respects. Where we find individuals or groups with, a tendency to show intolerance, we must oppose it with a spirit of broad-minded sympathy." The Rev. John L. Bedford declared his hearty sympathy with the colored citizens and described Professor Myers as "one of the sorrist figures in the United States to-day." "I belong," he said, "to a church and race that have always been persecuted, and I feel for you in the in- THURSDAY APRIL 1, 1915. sult that has been flung in your faces. You are right in making a protest that will ring from ocean to ocean, and from Canada to the Gulf. Father Belford advised the Negroes to pay more attention to the education of their children. He said the Jews were providing a notable example in this respect, and predicted that men of that race would be holding the high places of the land within a generation or two. Melville Charlton rendered a number of selections on the organ. The committee in charge of the meeting was officered by the Rev. C. P. Cole as chairman, R. M. Meroney as secretary, and the Rev. S. M. Timms as treasurer. HAYES TO REPRESENT MASSACHUSETTS STATE Special to The New York Ac Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Boston, Mass., March 30.—Roland W.

ALARANA MEN PLAN TO FORM NEW TOWN prefect to New York, Ariz. SALVA, M. A., March 30 - Through the offices of Dr. L. L. Burwell and R. B. Hudson, principal of Clarke's College, for the establishment of a model Negotiations have been closed, for the purchase of two thousand acres of rich, black prairie land situated about four miles north of this city. The plan is to lay out a town and cut out the balance of the land into ten-acre and twenty-acre farms. The forms will be sold at the lowest prices on less terms. As soon as a purchaser has made his payment on the farm he will be given a warranty deed in the city. Each owner must fill the form and give it in the form shown as he secures his city plan. Plants have already been drawn for a modern school building and campuses will be let just as soon as it has been assured the promoters that the Neonos will support the new movement. The land is situated on the Southern Railway and on a fine pike road. SEGREGATION CAUSES INCREASED DEATH RATE Evening News Scores Segregation and Says City Is Worshiping at Shrine of Real Estate Values-Three Days Conference on Health. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. BALTIMOR, Mn., March 30-That segregation of city Negroes and their enforced residence in the squallid sections of the city tend to propagate disease and make the race have too high a death rate was asserted by a number of speakers at the First Public Health Conference, held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week. At the opening more than 6,000 persons crowded in and around Bethel Church, to hear Booker T. Washington deliver the principal address of the evening. The address of Dr. H. S. McCard, one of the prominent physicians of the city, created widespread interest, so vigorously did he rap segregation and its attendant evils. "Enforced segregation," he said, "will compel many to continue occupying alley homes. We are compelled to live over stables and over cellars filled with water. We are told that we died because we are ignorant, that we ought to learn better than to live in such places where we live, and then we have learned the lesson that is given us and seek to apply it we have no place to go. He scored the city for its lack of facilities for the treatment of colored patients with infectious diseases. The address of Dr. McCard caused the Baltimore Evening News to editorially score segregation and its attendant evils. "The races are not segregated, nor will they be, nor can they be," remarked the News. "If the city chooses to worship to the extent it does at the shrine of real estate values, then part of the ceremony must be to study instruction, watchfulness, helpful supervision and very careful care of the colored sick." Ovation for Dr. Washington Dr. Washington was greeted with quite a demonstration. He referred to what the colored man has done for himself and in his address he encouraged him to do still bigger and greater things for his own advancement, in part he said: "I am glad of this movement that it emphasizes the matter of health, the matter of cleanliness, the matter of better sanitary conditions throughout Maryland. In this both races can cooperate. When food is being prepared, the Negro woman touches the white man's life; when food is being served, the Negro woman touches the white man's life, when children are being nursed, the Negro woman touches the white man's life, when clothes are being laundered, the Negro woman touches the white man's life. It is mighty important in the interest of our race, as well as, in the interest to the white race, that the Negro woman be taught, cleanliness and the laws of health Disease draws no color line. If by reason of faith and unsanitary conditions in Baltimore, growing out of ignorance, consumption smallpox or any contagious diseases reach the black community, it is likely to strike from this community to the mansion of the richest white person in Baltimore. In the future I am sure there is going to be more racial co-operation more friendship, more peace, more harmony, more prosperity. Our race is improving in the matter of health. Some 10 or 15 years ago the death rate was about 30 per thousand; at the present time, through such movements as we are now participating in, the death rate has been decreased to front 24 to 20 per thousand. We of the black and white race are going to present to the world a great object lesson, showing how two races different in history, different in color may lay side by side on the same soil in grace and in harmony, neither hindering the other, but each helping the other toward a higher and more useful civilization. W. E. B. DuBois was the principal speaker at the closing session. He said that the death rate of the Negro was not abnormally high when compared to our European countries. He asserted that the country death rate was much lower, and that the figure of 255, given in the census of 1910, was incorrect, about 20 in a thousand being the correct one. Drs. William H. Welch, Foul Novak, E. N. Fitzgerald, W. H. Wright, Harry E. Brown and Howard E. Young were among others who spoke during the week. A health event was held in the chapel of the church. ALEXANDRIA CITY, N. J., March 13, Special colored embroideries of the Hotel Brighton were named as legacies in the will of Frederick Heldman the late originator of the hotel, who died at his home, 2018 Delancey street, Philadelphia, on March 18. Requests amounting to $300,000 were made to the older employees. JACKSONVILLE FIGHTS FOR BETTER SCHOOLS Special to The New York Age. JACKSONVILLE, FLA., March 30—Because the Board of Public Instruction intend to use $85,000 for schools for white children, and only $115,000 for schools for Negro children, from the authorized issue of $1,000,000 in bonds, the Colored Board of Trade has inaugurated a movement to raise a fund of $3,000 with which to make a legal light for a more equitable division of the fund. An appeal was made to the board setting forth the great need of the Negro children for increased school facilities, the present provisions being wooledly inadequate. It was requested that at least one building be erected, fireproof, and containing the necessary equipment, with large auditorium, library, principal's office and rooms for manual training and domestic science, and that additional buildings for Negro children be provided at Panama, Grand Crossing, New Springfield, South Jacksonville, West Lewisville, West Jacksonville and Mason Park. No satisfactory reply was received from the public instruction board and so the Colored Board of Trade is undertaking to secure legal adjustment of the discrimination. The Judiciary Committee is composed of I. L. Purcell, S. D. McGill and W. H. Thompson, secretary of the Board of Trade, and the Finance Committee for $3,000 fund consists of J. W. Floyd, H. E. Lee, J. H. Bldoggett, George H. Mays, W. J. Geter, A. H. Anderson, C. H. Anderson, J. H. Dickerson and A. W. Smith. Officers of the Board of Trade are J. P. Patterson, president; B. C. Vanderhorst, treasurer. It is declared that if necessary to secure a just and equitable division of the school fund the fight will be carried to the highest courts of the land. RURAL MOBS IN N. C. USE TORCH AND RIELE Survival to True New York Are RALEIGH, N. C., March 30—The failure of the North Carolina Legislature to pass the Poe farm segregation bill has evidently led the supporters of Poe's views to adopt the plan of getting rid of Negroes by shooting up their homes in rural sections. Pink Goodnow, an aged Negro, living near Hickory, N.C., was shot and instantly killed by a crowd of young white men who shot up his house between midnight, and morning. Seven white men were arrested, following the coroner's inquest, and locked up in the Newton jail. The men charged with being implicated in the affair—are Ezra Rink, Joe Bass, Carl Brooks, Dewey and Glenn Yount, Vance Lawrence, Jedie Starnes. Goodnow, awakened by the sound of shooting, it is thought, was fumbling in the dark at a door. A bullet from a high-powered rifle passed through the walls of the house. Goodnow's skull, the door he was fumbling at, and then through the other, into a still where Sherif Isenhour found it. Tea miles from Henderson, N.C., a white man set fire to Joe Perry's home, and when the occupants attempted to show a insidious riffle and rewilders killed Perry's Wife and child and rounded Perry and his brother from. The bodies of the woman and child were cremated in the burning house. The two men were carried to Henderson and their statements to the sherif declare, that a white man pushed open the door of the house and Garew a quantity of kerosene into the room, together with a blazing torch. The family attempted to rush out, Perry and his brother securing their riffles; but the woman and child 'were killed before they could get out and the two men severely wounded. POOR SUPPORT FOR CONCORD CARNIVAL The third annual carnival of the Concord Baptist Sunday School, Duffield Street, Brooklyn, held at the Howland Studio for three nights last week was the most poorly attended of any public airline ever given by the school, according to a statement by Superintendent N. H. Dodson. The school is self-sustaining but once a year it raises a purse for the church as an Easter-gift. The assertion is made that out of a church membership of over 1,000, not far any persons outside of the committee are charged attended the entertainment. The officers of the school made a special effort to raise a large sum to add to the shuffling fund for the proposed new church office but their efforts were not supported. The school cleared expenses, and will have a small sum to present to the church Sunday night. The session next Sunday will be held at 1:30 p.m., as it is Easter. The regular monthly communion service of the church begins at 3:30 p.m. STUDENTS ON STRIKE AT ARKANSAS SCHOOL PINN, BAYOR, Ark., March 30. State Superintendent Cook has obeyed the temporary suspension of the French Normal College, pending an investigation of charges made by the student body against Superintendent Harris and Principal Vinegar. Because of their dissatisfaction the students have refused to attend classes or recite until their complaints are investigated, depriving them will quit the school unless they are men named are removed. A county has been appointed by the state commission to audit the investigation, consist of Col. Lord Patterson, L. F. Jones, and Col. Pay, J. W. McGarry. It is said that the trouble is long standing, going back more than a year, and is correlated with it, all legal, with the removal twelve or fourteen years ago of J. C. Corinth and T. G. Childress from the school faculty. The students say they will take public their grievances in a few days. PRICE FIVE CENTS $1,000 GIVEN AT HOWARD BENEFIT Citizens of Greater New York Hear Commissioner of Corrections Plead for Elimination of Race Prejudice. TROTMAN'S GREAT EFFORT Hon. Chas. W. Anderson Makes Film for Orphans and Secures Subscription From Leading Citizens at Lafayette Theatre Meeting Last Sunday Afternoon Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock more than a thousand people filled Lafayette Theatre, Seventh avenue, between 131st and 132d streets, to participate in the exercises attendant upon the benefit arranged for the Howard Orphanage and Industrial School, Kings Park, Long Island, N. Y. Arrangements for the benefit had been perfected by a committee of which W. Frederick Trotman was chairman, and the principal features of the afternoon were addresses by Dr. Katherine Bement Davis, commissioner of the Department of Corrections, New York City, and Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue. In addition a splendid musical program had been arranged, on which appeared the Tempo Club orchestra of seventy men, conducted by James Reese Europe, Ford Dabney and Wm. H. Tyers; pupils of the Music School Settlement, J. Rosamond Johnson, supervisor; the Right Quintet, composed of C. Tuesdale, J. Loguen, J. M. M. Thomas, Leon S. Alger and James E. Lightfoot, and Louis A. Mitchell, accompanied by Al Johns. Dr. Davis Makes Notable Address. The address of Mrs. Davis, on character, was listened to with close attention and received the corral and unstinted approval of the vast audience. She declared that color should have no part in the recognition accorded any person or race, but that laying a solid foundation with character as the basic principle should be the means of opening the door of opportunity to all. She referred to the work being done by the orphanage at King's Park as carrying out this idea. She also quoted facts from her experience in various penal institutions to prove that Negroes were not essentially criminal and certainly not in a greater degree than any other race. The address of Collector Anderson was preceded by views of the orphanage thrown on the screen and explained by L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the orphanage. Mr. Anderson paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Davis and the stand she has taken against segregation of the Negro in public institutions. He made an appeal for yearly subscriptions to the support of the work which elicited a hearty and liberal response. A large part of the success of the meeting is due to the assistance rendered the promoters by Messrs. Morganstern & Walton, managers of the Lafayette Theatre, who not only gave the use of the theatre free of all charge, but cut out entirely the afternoon performance, not opening the regular show until the benefit program was concluded. The music rendered by the Tempo orchestra orcheased great enthusiasm. The Music School Settlement was represented by Miss Alice Davis, soprano, and Mr. Butler, baritone, with J. Rosamond Johnson at the piano. The following letters show the success of the benefit in a financial way, being the report of Alfred A. Whitman, treasurer of the benefit committee, to President Woods, and the acknowledgment of same from Mr. Woods to Mr. Trotman, chairman of the benefit committee: President Wood's Letter March 30, 1915. Mr. Wm. Frederick Trotman, Chairman Benefit Committee, 27 William street, New York City. Dear Mr. Trotman: Let my congratulate you on the benefit and the result of which Mr. Whitman's letter speaks. The time, money, careful attention to details, and unselfish en- thusiasm generally which you have given to the interests of Howard Or- phanage have been magnificent. We feel much under obligation to you. I enclose a copy of Mr. Whitman's letter in which he gives the results. As to the publication of the list of the subscribers, I suggest that we defer that for a week, as new ones are re- ceived each day, and it would be more pleasant to have them all appear to together. With my warmest thanks for your work and more still for your friend- ship. Very sincerely. L. HOLLINGSWORTH WOOD. Treasurer Whitman's Report March 29, 1915. Mr. L. Hollingsworth Wood, Fowler. benefit committee of the Howard Orphan and Industrial School I wish to express my congratulations to those who have devoted so much of their time and careful thought to the successful outcome of this enterprise. As you will note, the box receipts amounted to about $475, which represented a practically full house. This was due to the active and interested support of the colored people themselves who have shown rare interest in assisting to put the Howard Orphanage on its feet, and was materially aided by Miss Florence Elsie Young, who provided so successfully at the box office window. The active and enthusiastic work of the ushers contributed not a little to the success of the afternoon, and, from a financial point of view, they are certainly to be congratulated, having turned in the following sums from the sale of programs; Miss Marie Young of the Lafayette Theatre, $21.80; Miss Pankey Brown of the Lafayette Theatre, $3; Miss M. Mitchell of the Lafayette Theatre, $2.25; Miss Blossom Letters of the Julietts, $1.50; Miss Addee Oliver of the Julietts, $5.45; Miss Anna Holbrook of the Julietts, $4.20; Miss Corrine Cook of the Julietts, $1.65; total $41.85. The excellent address made by the Hon. Charles W. Anderson resulted in a further cash contribution of $23.65 and subscriptions for annual contributions amounting to $5.88. The total net result, I believe, will be more than $1,000. I am sure your decision to the cause and the enthusiasm of those who work with you will very soon enable you to count the preliminary part of your work at Howard Orphanage as accomplished, and enable that work to continue in a way worthy of the great cause. Believe me, very truly yours. ALFRED C. WHITMAN, Treasurer Benefit Committee. Personnel of Committees. The committees in charge of the benefit were as follows: Benefit Committee — W.

A PARTIAL VICTORY. The Negro citizens of Greater New York and their good white friends have won a partial victory in their fight to stop the production of the vicious photo play, "The Birth of a Nation," on exhibition at the Liberty Theatre. Commencing last Monday evening, the producers of the picture eliminated some of the objectionable scenes which represented the lowest type of Negro in his lowest form and sought to create the impression that the Negro of to-day is nothing but a beast. Many thanks to Mayor Mitchel for the kindly interest he has shown in the matter. While we rejoice that the owners of the picture and the management of the theatre have "willingly" agreed to eliminate two of the obnoxious scenes, we would feel more jubilant had the local authorities stopped the exhibition of the photo play altogether. But we have been assured by the Mayor that if other objections are raised in the future they will be given mature consideration. To Mayor Mitchel and other Mayor's who seem to be "up a tree" as to what vests them with the power to forbid the exhibition of this and other vicious pictures, we suggest that they apply the same laws which gave them power in New York City and in other cities to put a ban on all fight pictures in which "Jack" Johnson came "out victorious in the ring with his white opponents." Then the Mayors issued orders that the Johnson pictures should be suppressed as they would create racial antagonism. We are asking that "The Birth of a Nation" be stopped for the same reason. PARAGRAPHS. Ex-President ROSEVELT fired some hot shot into the Sepate Committee in his reply, refusing to testify regarding the comments he had made concerning the Administration's Shipping Bill. He strongly reiterated that WILSON, BRYAN and MCASCO endeavored in the interest of certain business firms to secure for the United States the power to purchase the intermed ships of one of the belligerents. He even fired an extra shot about the amateur war with Mexico last summer, which resulted in greater loss of life in the American navy than occurred during the entire war with Spain. He concluded by saying: "If you desire to make an argument against what I have said, it is not proper to get me before your committee in order to make the argument." After all, there is only one ROSEVELT. The April number of *Everphody's Magazine* contains a special letter by Dr. Booker T. Washington, the principal of *Tuskegee Institute*, telling something of the life and struggles of Isaac Fisher, winner of the prize of $500 offered, for the best essay by *Everphody's Magazine* on the Liquor Quex. THE NEW YORK WORLD SPEAKS. We could do no less, neither could we do more than reproduce here in full the following recent editorial from the "New York World" and do no less, neither could we do more than the following recent editorial from the there still are people in the North who do not know the policy after the Civil War was a terrible blow that fact might do some good and need it in a production outrageously assaults 10,000,000 people possibly advantage. made out of Dixon's "Clansman" does not express the expense of Northern manhood; it upholds the belief that it shows Lincoln in April, 1865, as the brave man who fought in the Civil War, the nature of South Carolina; it is summarily and glad that this is irrigable wrong. To hint that the South only because a mythical Mr. Stone through his thin disguise, had a quadron miss the taste for silly paradoxes that trace momentous cases. The crowning sin is the sensational exploits which is probably less common in the South than in the certainly not first heard of in 1867. the black no case? Let the "movies" show him leaping, batteted down in storm at sea in a staircase high; dragged out insensible when the wind falls to the sharks; baked unrequited toil and the ace credum made a curse to him and others by knowing the mental toll of the South, a humble but not its prosperity. Does that man merit abuse, or mere Birth of a Nation is an outrage on a race, cours.] Since the production of this infamous picture word in the great New York dailies, it exept, of coarse, our life long champion.

It is a Democratic order of the Administration, yet it has directed the President upon his Negro policy; it has acted, this is the only point upon which it oblige "The Evening Maid" have also shot and justice whenever our cause is before us; we want to hear what they think of "The combined influence of the great newspapers that the Mayor, the police and the courts do; that is, stop the presentation of a prime race, which is incendiary and obscene, the class of American citizens against the strongest appeal to the lowest and most obsessive, a picture that will fan the very fires of town. actual commission of robbery and murder? "Why should a picture be allowed that slain white girl to rape her, and showing it wasressing upon the spectators that the Negro usual and licentious brutes?" three largest cities in the North more crime by white men in a year than by blacks in the period of time. And, white men in the North more abnormal, pervert and bestial sex committed during his whole history in this note of apology in the first part of "The entirely drowned by the thunder of that has. Those last lines are more than mere newspaper in them that touches the same emotion Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. Under if Tom Dixon can possibly read those he is among the meanest and most despicable. If there still are people in the North who do not know that the Reconstruction policy after the Civil War was a terrible blunder, ture-play impressing that fact might do some good and need no harm. When such a production outrageously assails 10,000,000 people, the harm outweighs any possible advantage. The play made out of Dixon's "Clansman" does not exalt Southern chivalry at the expense of Northern manhood; it upholds the Union One and Inseparable; it shows Lincoln in April, 1865, as the best friend of the South; it does not, for it could not, exaggerate the antes of the black legislature of South Carolina; it is sumptuously and ably produced. Beyond this is irreparable wrong. To hint that carpet-haggers bedeviled the South only because a mythical Mr. "Stoneman," easily recognized through his thin disguise, had a quadroom mistress, merely recognized through his silly paradoxes that trace momentous events to trivial causes. The treasoning sin is the unusual exploitation of a crime which is probably less common in the South than in the North and which was certainly not first heard of in 1867. Has the black no-case? Let the movies show him—torn from his jungle village, battened down in storm at sea in a stainer's twween-decks three feet high; dragged out insensible when the wind falls, his stifled mates fed to the sharks; bearing unrigged tail and the overscruser's lash; even his freedom made a curse to him and others by knavish whites; yet still doing the menial tail of the South, a humble but mighty agent of his country's prosperity. Does that man merit abuse, or sympathy and guidance? The Birth of a Nation" is an outrage on a race. [1]alies ours.] Ever since the production of this infamous picture we have looked for some word in the great, New York daily, "They have all been silent; except, of course, our life long champion, "The Evening Post." Not even have letters of protest been given space. But "The World" has broken the silence, and in words that will reach the remotest corners of the whole country. The influence of this editorial in our belialf cannot be estimated. This editorial is in accord with many recent utterances of "The World." Of late, no periodical has spoken for us with greater strength, fearlessness and truth. It is a Democratic journal and a strong supporter of the Administration, yet it has directly and forcibly opposed the President upon his Negro policy; and, so far as we have noticed, this is the only point upon which it has opposed him. "The Globe" and "The Evening Mail" have also shown that they stand for right and justice whenever our cause is before the bar of public opinion; we want to hear what they think of "The Birth of a Nation." The combined influence of the great newspapers of this city could do what the Mayor, the police and the courts say they are powerless to do; that is, stop the presentation of a picture which defames an entire race, which is incendiary and obscene, which breeds hatred in one class of American citizens against another, which makes its strongest appeal to the lowest and most dangerous of human passions, a picture that will fan the very fires of hell wherever it is shown. If the actual commission of robbery and murder is tabooed in the "movies," why should a picture be allowed that shows a Negro chasing a little white girl to rape her, and showing it with the intention of impressing upon the spectators that the Negro is by nature a race of sensual and licentious brutes? In the three largest cities in the North more crimes of rape are committed by white men in a year than by blacks in the entire South in the same period of time. And, white men in the North commit in a year more abnormal, pervert and bestial sex crimes than the Negro has committed during his whole history in this country. The slight note of apology in the first part of "The World's" editorial is entirely drowned by the thunder of that last magnificent paragraph. Those last lines are more than mere newspaper writing. There is something in them that touches the same emotions which are stirred by Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. We wonder if Tom Dixon can possibly read those words and not feel that he is among the meanest and most despicable of men.

We feel that results have fully justified the establishment of the "Poetry Corner." Taken as a whole, the verses already published have been very creditable; some of them have reached no small degree of excellence. Mr. Hiram H. Holland's poem, "An Afro-American Peace Prayer," brought a tribute of praise from Mr. Braithwaite, the well-known literary critic; and most deservedly. There are several of our "Poetry Corner" contributors who show great promise, and we feel that it is no wild dream to think that the "Corner" may provide the first opportunity for development and a hearing to some future great poet of the race. We thought that our contributors understood that the "Corner" was established to give to the light only the original work of our younger poets; yet, one of them sent us a poem which we published and afterwards found that it had been previously published in another periodical. "If we wished to reproduce, work already published we should resort to the simple expedient of clipping. Perhaps some confusion may arise from our practice of not returning manuscripts. That is, a contributor after waiting several weeks might be in doubt as to whether we intended to publish his verses or not, and he might wish to submit them elsewhere. Hereafter, if contributors will enclose with their manuscripts a self-addressed and stamped envelope, we shall return to them a slip stating that the verses will be published in the "Corner," or, in case we cannot use them, we shall return the manuscript. In this way contributors can know within ten days whether their verses will be published or not. THE JACKSONVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION A correspondent writes from Jacksonville, Fla., commending the article on the Public School question in that city which appeared in these columns in the issue of March 11. In that article we, asked this question, "What are the colored people of Jacksonville going to do about it?" and went on to say that we could almost hear some reader answer "Nothing!" Our correspondent gives us to understand that any reader who answered "Nothing!" made a miscalculation. A great deal is being done. The colored citizens of Jacksonville first appealed to the board of education. Receiving no satisfactory answer from that body, they have started in earnest to raise a fund of $3,000 for the purpose of legally opposing the issue and sale of bonds. So, to say the least, the joke is on the hypothetical reader who might have answered "Nothing!" NOTHIN' BUT TALK reference of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Washington last week. President Wilson the Conference, and among other things a council of peace, not to form plans of peace, to to form such, but to proclaim the single super- revolution of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ never have any enduring until their cease to hate or The Conference of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church convened in Washington last week. President Wilson delivered an address to the Conference, and, among other things, said: This is a council of peace, not to form plans of peace, for it is not our privilege to form such, but to proclaim the single supreme plan of peace, the revelation of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, because wars will never have any ending until men cease to hate one, another. cease to be jealous of one another, and that feeling of reality in the brotherhood of mankind which is the only bond that can make us think justly of one another and act righteously before God himself. It is one of the most serious things in human nature how men can learn to rattle off high sounding moral platitudes just as a boy learns to repeat his prayers or the multiplication table. They get so that they can do it without giving any thought to what they are saying; more than that, they get so that they can do it while thinking about something else. The talk about getting "that feeling of reality in the brotherhood of mankind which is the only bond that can make us think justly of one another and act righteously before God himself" sounds splendid, especially coming from the present head of the nation; but, as Bert Williams would say, "Dat ain't nothin' but talk." COMMENT HERE AND THERE. At a meeting a few nights ago an audience of three thousand Jews cheered Dr. Schmarya Levin, one of the international leaders of the Zionists, Dr. Levin's address was in support of the movement to stir the four million Jews in the United States and the ten million in other parts of the world to join in setting up an independent Jewish state in ancient Palestine. It is doubtful whether the Jews of the world would be better off in an independent state of their own than they are at present. It is certain that the Jews who are citizens of this country are better off that they would ever be likely to be in any state they might establish along the shores of the Mediterranean. Canaan may have been the promised land of the Jews, but the United States has turned out to be their land of fulfilment. So New York Jews may cheer Dr. Levin's stirring sentiments, but it is very doubtful that many of them will leave the shores of the Hudson to settle along the banks of the Jordan. In fact, the Zionist movement will perhaps, have no greater general success than the attempts to colonize us in Africa. Here are some of the things that Dr. Levin said in his speech: $\alpha$ People of my faith, we have been in exile for two thousand years. The war will last perhaps another half year. The Zionist organization will fight your battles; if it has a membership great enough it will have as much right to expression at the world peace conference that is coming as Montenegro and England and Russia and France. We have our national government for donations. There are hundreds of rick Jews from whom the nations of the world borrow millions, while the Jew cannot get a dollar. It is because the nations are organized and we are not. Our rich Jews don't want an organization. They laugh at our efforts and prefer to sit still in the quiet of the self-satisfied individual. Their hearts do not burn for Israel. Somehow, those few sentences give us something of a peep at inner things among the things. They are also in tone, if not in substance, strangely like the things a colored speaker might say to a strictly colored audience. The war has brought forward a renewed discussion of the question of the advancement of the human race. Dr. James J. Walsh of Cathedral College of New York in a recent lecture said: We fight now quite as we did at any time, and we try to kill as many people and to maim as many more. People used to think that at least we could be skinder toward non-combatants. Man does not progress. Our Philosophy is a joke compared to that of the Greeks. While history demonstrates that there is no progress, there is no evidence of any evolution of man. The oldest skulls we have are just like ours. If it were not for the present terrible conflict, these words would seem to be nothing less than absurd exaggeration. But, in the light of what is happening, they reveal a great deal of truth: Do our records, as far back as they can go, show that man has made any absolute advancement? Or is our advancement only apparent? Has civilization really changed and bettered man's primitive nature? Or has it merely set up barriers and restraints, which when they are broken down leave him the same primitive brute he was 5,000 years ago? We might compare the human race to a balanced bar; as high as one end is raised, the other end is lowered, but the level of the pivot never changes. Wherever we have the greatest heights of civilization, we also have the greatest depths of degradation. Wherever there are no great heights, there are no great depths. The war has brought forth a statement far more astounding than the one made by Dr. Walsh on the advancement of the human race. It is a statement recently made by Mr. John J. Stevenson, president of the Driggs-Seabury Ordnance Corporation, a company which manufactures arms and ammunition. This is what Mr. Stevenson said: The Driggs-Seabury Ordnance Corporation has turned down orders for millions of dollars worth of war munitions in the last four months. Perchance there are some persons who discredit the statement; consequently I will show you a sample or two of orders which we might have looked which would have kept our plant going on full shifts night and day had its officers consented to become a contributing factor to the carriage now putting millions of men in Europe under the ground and on crutches. Our corporation will take no part in the bloody business. I am opposed to war on principle. War is a crime against civilization. Isn't it astonishing to see a sure enough business man refusing to make a legitimate sale of his goods for casl, because the use to which they are to be put does not square with his conscience? And isn't it next to impossible to conceive why a man of Mr. Stevenson's sentiments and sentimentality should be in the business of manufacturing arms and ammunition?

Figures just given out by the United States Census Bureau at Washington mark the beginning of a new era for the colored race in this country. The great bugaboo has been the Negro's death rate.

The decline in the death rate for colored was 3.4, and for whites 2.5 to the thousand population. Fully as significant as the decline of the death rate was the increase in the ownership of homes. The Negroes in the South own 102,000, or.31.4 per cent. more homes than they did in 1900, and of these 30,449 are farm homes.

Don't forget the Old Rose Room and the Beef Steak Garret 2-4.3mi HOW Willard May Beat Johnson" is the subject of an article from the pen of Joe Vila of the New York Evening Sun, in which he makes this significant statement: If a competent referee, fearless enough to enforce the Queensherry rules, presides over the forty-five round fight between Jack Johnson and Jess Ward at the Havana race, heavywield championship may be returned to the white race. The selection of a referee is the most important factor in bringing the battle to a decisive end. If the Negro is allowed to violate the rules by holding in the clinches and by grabbing Willard's biceps in accordance with his methods in former scraps it is safe to say that the battle will be being more than won by much more. But if the Negro is forced to box as Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Jeffries were compelled to do when they held the big title in turn Willard may be the winner. After, reading these few remarks by Joe Vila I first move that he change his name to "Villa," as his ideas and those of the Mexican bandit seem to be very much in common along certain lines. What Joe Vila seems to infer by inuendo is that the only chance Willard has to beat Johnson is by the referee making the white man champion on some slight technicality. In other words, "the championship may be returned to the white race" provided a referee is chosen who is fearless enough and unprincipled enough to rob Johnson of the title on a mere pretext; one who would commit highway robbery and experience no qualms of conscience over perpetrating such a base deed. The writer on the *Evening Sun* charges that Johnson in previous fights violated the rules he holding his opponents. Joe Vila's knowledge on the champion's experience in the ring seems to be limited. Not a white fighter, from Jeffries down, has stood up like a man and fought Johnson. Flynn, a few years ago, emulated the fighting methods of a goat, and tried to butt the champion to death, and in his fight with Moran some months ago in London Moran distinguished himself by hugging the colored man with more fervency and with more frequency than would a Romeo lovingly embrace a Juliet. In both instances Johnson had to firmly hold his opponents to keep them from resorting to methods not embodied in the Queensbury rules. Hugging and butting are not regarded in order in the arena and Johnson found it necessary to defend himself, as the officials in the ring were somewhat lenient with his antagonists in both instances. The contest between Johnson and Willard at the Havana Racetrack next week should be easily won by the champion; that is, unless a frame-up of some sort is unckered on either Johnson or the unsuspecting public. There is a rumor current that Johnson is badly in need of money and has agreed to "throw" the fight to Willard for $100,000. Many white fight devotees seem to attach much credence to this report, but it is not known whether their attitude is due to their over-anxiety to see Willard win or whether they have secured some inside information. Jack Johnson has been severely criticised for committing indiscretions which have done neither himself nor his race any good. But to date it cannot be said that he has disgraced the prize ring by being a party to frame-ups or any other act of crookedness. That he has had numerous opportunities to do so cannot be denied. Disparaging reference may be made to the champion's conduct in private life, but all inclined to be fair must admit that he is one of the squaresest fighters that ever donned a glove. That Johnson would sell himself at this late date is hard to believe. Should Johnson lose the next week to Willard, very likely it will be, as inferred by Joe Vila, because Willard was assisted by "a competent and fearless referee." THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Anderson & Gaines are at the Bijou Theatre, Brooklyn, this week. Mme. Anita Patti Brown, of Chicago, Ill., sang at Eufaula, Okla., March 24. Fiddler & Shelton are back on the United time after an absence of two seasons. May & May and Carita Day are on the bill at the New Standard Theatre, Philadelphia. Evon Robinson and Cora Green have formed a sister team. Act played Lafayette Theatre the second half of last week and made good. Moss & Frye are at the Unique Theatre, Minneapolis, Minn., this week, and will be at the Empress Theatre, St. Paul, Minn., the week of April 5. Gaines & Brown are playing the Orpheum Theatre, Milwaukee this week, with New Grand, Dubuah and Grand Theatre, St. Paul, to follow next week: A drummer's contest was held at the Winter Garden on Sunday night, March 21, between Baldifield-Gilmore, Si Moore and Carl Kinney. Vernon Castle was the master of ceremonies and the audience gave the decision in favor of Carl Kinney, known as "Battle Axe." James Reese Europe is conducting an orchestra of fifty people at the Winter Garden. --- The circus season will open in New York on Thursday, April 1, when the Barnum & Bailey circus gives its first performance at Madison Square Garden. Twelve hundred characters are cast for the spectacular pagenut, "Lala Rookh," and the circus proper will be given in three rings, two stages, the hippodrome oval and the dome of the building. The management announces that no exhibitions will be given this year in Brooklyn or New Jersey, so residents of nearby cities must take advantage of the New York engagement. LAFAYETTE THEATRE. Although this week is regarded by theatrical managers as the dullest of all weeks during the theatrical season, Messrs. Morgansiern and Walton have not hesitated in giving their patrons a bill of high order. Every act won the favor of the patrons the first half of the week and several were big hits. Ducy, Geisler & Lewis; a trio of white singers and musicians, went big at every performance. One man plays the piano, another the clarinet, while the third puts over a song in up-to-date fashion. The trio has good numbers and they open big and close big. Johnny Peters, Ethel Williams, Toots Davis and Irma Baptist, late of the Darktown Follies, have gotten together an act which is well constructed and should get work. Dancing is the feature of the turn, and as all four are good dancers, their terpsichorean exhibition is very entertaining. Ethel Williams, as usual, shines brilliantly as a dancer. Burris, Kenner & Stewart, assisted by Misses Williams, Olden and Deas, are funny in a sketch entitled "Harnah from Savannah," while Piotti, a tenor with a sweet voice which he knows how to use; Carrie Nagle and Fanghines Sisters, and Maxians and Girls contribute toward making the bill entertaining. The management has decided to make Friday evening "Silk Stock Night," when silk hosiery for men and women will he given away. Clef Club Notes Will Marlon Cook is making his headquarters at the Club, 134 West 53d street and may be reached every day from 12 to 4 p.m. He has engaged the music rooms and general office of the club for his private use during the week. The club has big things in preparation. The Clerk Club Notes will tell of the workings of the organization. In a short while every member of the club will be placed on the subscription list of The Age free of charge to them. Ira Horington entrained for the Princeton Club, James Hunt, Walter Kildare and Sid Holms entertained at Port Washington Hotel, Port Washington and Lou Whitney entertained for Mrs. Leary in her home on Fifth avenue. Deacon Johnson, president and manager, now resides in the apartments on the top floor of the club. He will be on duty at all hours, day or night. Alphas Win in Yonkers. Wicoma and Alpha Big Five in Yonkers attracted a large crowd to the High School "Gym" last Saturday. It was an interesting game and although Alpha won the showing made by Wicoma was praiseworthy. The final score was Alpha 25, Wicoma 15, Wicoma had hopes of catching Big Five in the second half when they were within a point of ticing the score but Big Five forged ahead and held it to the finish. The score: ALHIX BIG FIVE. FJ.G. FL.G. Pte. Mirandi, R. F. ..... 2 Thomas, L. F., Capt... 1 Dash, C..... 4 Capers, R. G..... 2 Scott, L. G..... Goole, R. F..... WICOMA FJ.G. FL.G. Pte. Tucker, R.

HOWARD EXPLAINS The game between Howard University basketball team and the team of the southwest branch of the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. scheduled for Friday evening, March 26, came to a premature ending when the Howard team discontinued playing and left the floor of the Philadelphia team's gymnasium. Irving T. Nutt, manager of the Howard basketball team, sends the following letter to the sporting editor of The Age, with a request that it be published in explanation of the action: To the Sporting Editor of The Age: The Howard University basketball team took necessary to leave the floor at the game with the Southwest Branch of the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. In the gymnasium of the latter on Friday evening, March 26, 1916. This action was the result of the calm judgment of the Howard management, and was due to the blamed, attitude and faintment decisions of the referee, the importsmannlike conduct of the sporting team, and the Y. M. C. A. officials with respect to the proper entertainment and protection of the visiting team. Howard believes in clean sportsmanship and knows how to lose as well as how to win. Our intercollegiate athletic rivals, the Washington public and the New York public will understand their own experience with the record, of the Howard teams that the conversation must have been extreme. And in this case wisdom required withdrawal to avoid serious complications that were likely to come about from what was unquestionably the worst treatment. Howard team has ever been subjected to. Very respectfully, IRVING T. NUTT, Manager. The Smashing Triumph of 1915 THE TEMPO CLUB IN THE VERNAL FETE AT Manhattan Casino Thursday, April 22, 1915 Tickets Selling in Advance at 119 West 136th Street, Phone 441 Audubon. WILLIAMS Colored Singers, a musical organization hailing from Chicago, made its first appearance before an audience of colored people in New York City on Wednesday night, March 24, at Manhattan, Casino, under the auspices of the Utopia Neighborhood Club and the National League on Urban Conditions. It was not the company's first appearance in New York City, but hitherto the audiences have always been composed of white patrons because the club's routing has been attended to by lyceum bureaus and Chantaquia circuits and it has been placed generally in the white churches and Y. M. C. A. halls. Accustomed to singing in buildings which possess-most excellent acoustic properties it was a big, handicap to the company to attempt its work in such an auditorium as that of Manhattan Casino, which possesses every possible advantage for any other kind of an entertainment, but none at all for a vocal concert. An audience, representative in makeup and gratifying in number, greeted Mr. Williams and his artists, and gave a most sympathetic hearing. The company responded to the cordiality expressed and rendered its program in an effective and pleasing manner. The vast spaces and lack of sound-preserving facilities make it extremely difficult to sing effectively from the Manhattan Casino stager; and in addition to this handeak the singers had further to contend with a very much abused piano. The accompaniments were played upon the instrument which does yeoman service at every dance given in Manhattan Casino. Notwithstanding the disadvantages, however, Williams' Colored Singers demonstrated that the reputation which they have achieved is based on solid, artistic merit. There are four men and four women composing the company, Charles P. Williams is the founder and manager, and he has succeeded in putting the organization on a solid and lasting foundation, both artistically and financially. George L. Johnson, leading tenor, is musical director, and his brother, J. H. Johnson, is the second tenor, J. S. Crable is the basso. The ladies are Mme. Greene, soprano; Mme Merrill, who is filling the place of Mme. Hackley, soprano, detained at home by reason of the illness of her husband, Mme. Williams, contralto, and Mme Hattie F. Johnson, contralto and accompanist. The program offered a variety of music, ranging from the popular ballad to grand opera, including plantation and jubilee melodies. The concerted numbers were the bridal chorus from Cowen's Rose Maiden, not an effective opening The Smashing T THE TEM THE VER Manhatta Thursday, A Tickets Selling in Advance at 119 W number, but entered with understanding and sympathy; Nevin's Rosary, Mme. Merrill singing an obligato (this was given instead of the Inflammatus from Stabat Mater, the change being regrettably unavoidable); the Miserere from Verdì's Il Trizatore, the duet taken by George L. Johnson and Mme. Merrill; and the sextette from Lucia di Lammoor. The male voices sang as a quartet, "Remember Now Thy Creator," arranged by Rhodes, and gave a banjo imitation for an encore. A female trio, Mmes. Greene, Johnson and Williams, sang "Po' Lil Lam," words by Dumbar, set to music by Parks. Solo numbers were Mme. Merrill who sang the aria from Saint-Saens's Samson and Delilah, "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice." Mme. Merrill has a big voice, very much more of a contralto than a soprano, and she sings with fervor and abandon. It would be to her advantage, I am thinking, if she endeavored to moderate somewhat the volume of tone. She puts too much exertion in her endeavors and unless she has an iron constitution, must be in a state of physical exhaustion at the conclusion of the program. I really believe it would be to her advantage to sing contralto numbers, but of course she will do as she pleases. Mme. Greene sang as a solo, David's "Brilliant Bird," a number which gave excellent opportunity to show control, flexibility and sweetness. Her voice is not big enough to fill Manhattan Casino, but it is well suited to the concert stage. She has a pleasing personality, which is a great help, but her voice wins consideration on its quality alone. The audience showed its appreciation, after her first encore, when she sang "Maggie, the Cows are in the Clover," by insistently demanding her appearance for the second encore, even though Mr. Williams had come out all dressed up for "Mandy's Wedding," which happened to be the next number. Perhaps the most popular member of the company was Mme. Williams, whose deep, full control tones heard in the choruses had already won a place for her in the hearts of the auditors. My regret is that her vehicles should have been so inaptly chosen. "Just Because I Use Black," is a pathetic little bad, but her sullied voice could have dis justice to a more pretentious offering. As an encre she responded with anitation of Fa. Teresa the comte. OFFICERS—Rev H. C. Bishop, Watarden; Rev E. W. Danich, Curate; Allen D. Wood, Guild Master; J. L. Madocer, Scribes; J. C.

Johnson, tenor, sang "Garden Love Song," by Liddle, and his effort entitles him to rank with the most promising of our tenors. He is not as clear in his enunciation as might be, but his voice has melody and sweetness, and he handles it with assurance. Mme. Haff F. Johnson presided at the piano for all the accompaniments, and her, work was of a very high order. She is a pianist of ability and adds largely to the value of the work of the company: J. S. Crabble, basso, sang with good effect, the old favorite, "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep." Other numbers on the program were: "I Want to Be Ready to Walk Jerusalem Just Like John," by G. L. Johnson and company; "Since I Fell in Love with Mary," J. H. Johnson; "Hallelu," Charles P. Williams and company; "Swanee Riff," company and "Mandy's Wedding," Charles P. Williams and company. The company is filling engagements during this week in the city and vicinity and will leave next Monday for a tour of New England, from whence they will go West, reaching Chicago in time for its regular summer vacation. Hooks to Write About Colored Athletes T. C. Hooks, who is in close touch with all the colored athletes of the city, will write exclusively for The Age, giving an account of the achievements of these men in the athletic world. In the next issue of The Age will appear his account of the Morningside road race to be run on Easter Sunday. Colored Bova Smash Records. Last Friday at the championship games of Evening High Schools, hardly a school was represented but had two or more colored boys gathering points for it. Andrew Pendleton, last year's assistant track captain of the Salem-Crescent A. C., starting in the 70-yard dash (120 lbs. class), came through with yellow colors, covering the distance in a new record. This was 1-5 of a second faster than it had ever been done before. This was Pendleton's third straight victory within a week's time, as he competed in the Morrison H. S. meet held the Saturday night before. Conceding handicaps as high a 13 yards in the 220-yard dash, he breezed home winning hands down. He ran another good race on the same night when he earned a dead heat for his school while running the Last leg on the half-mile relay. Another boy who showed to advantage last Friday was Herman Poster, member of the Salem Crescent A. C. by hard running he was able to win second to Elliott, the fast spinner of the Irish-American A. C. The splendid form shown by Jack Triumph of 1915 IPO CLUB N NAL FETE AT an Casino April 22, 1915 7est 136th Street, Phone 441 Audubon Trice, in the quarter mile brought to light that the Smart Set A. C. will have at least one reliable man at that distance. In the 220-yard dash (senior) the fledged boys almost cornered the market, getting two out of the three places for which prizes were offered. George Ralston, who has cast his lot with St. Christopher, and Reed of Smart Set, were the second and third respectively to cross the tape. But the latter failed to get a place was Russel, a Salem-Crescent member, who ran in the quarter. He made the mistake of having back too long so that when he made his led it was too late. From his strong condition after the finish he looked like some good coaching would just bring him out. Runs Sixty Yards in 6 2-5. Sol Hutler, a student of the Rock Isl and (Ill) High School at the sixth annual indoor interscholastic meet in Patten gym of Northwestern University on Saturday night, March 27, equalled the world's record for the sixty yard dash of 6.2-5 seconds. BASKE ANNUAL POST-LENTEN OF FOR THE ST. PHILIP'S AT NEW STA 107th Street and Friday Evening, MME. HACKLEY IN CALIF. Mme, E. Azalia Hackley appeared in a lecture-recital at the Y, M. C. A., San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday evening, March 16 under the auspices of the Antioch Baptist Church, the Rev. J., A. Dennis, pastor, Mme. Hackley was the first colored singer appearing in San Jose since Flora Hatton. A large audience greeted her and she made a beneficial impression. She was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Overton. On Tuesday evening, March 23, Mme. Hackley gave her song recital and lecture on voice culture at the Second Baptist Church, Stockton, Calif., the Rev. G. W. Reed, pastor. Mme. Hackley had not fully recovered from a recent bronchial trouble, but her singing and demonstration aroused great enthusiasm. Long Distance Training Aaron Morris of Brooklyn running unattached last Sunday evening in the trial run of the Morningside A. C., over a course of about four miles and a half won third place and finished 24 seconds behind Glaucopulos of the Millrose A. A. Morris' time was 26 minutes, 69 seconds. Sid Jackson, unattached finished fourth. J. Ironson and G. Creeal of Salem Crescent finished in the front ranks. WITH THE BOWLERS Excitement is at its height as the three teams swing into the home stretch for the five-man team championship of Greater New York. The close finish caused all kinds of roosting last Thursday night.

The First Five Years The Rev. Richard Manuel Bolder, pastor of the First Emmanuel Church, 105 West is 130th street, said: That Palm Sunday is a day with a significance different and of more importance than that which Christian teachers and preachers have been giving to it. They have endeavored to make more of what they call "The Triumphal Entry of our Lord, the emmanuel church." They have caused many to loose faith in our Lord's ability and power while in the flesh to consummate the moment which He lead, whose purpose and to be, the capture and overthrow of a hostile government in Jerusalem. The magnification of the people's spontaneous Messianic outburst of youth proclamation, and the joy of children's song, has kept believers from hearing His words in this occasion and feeling the anguish in His heart. The exulting shouts and hallelujahs the way to the sky did not cause His heart to beat and swell with pride. He had no bright and useless illusions. He knew that his movement was a sign and that the city, and nation was doomed. He knew that the leaders of the people and the rulers of the nation had both blindness of the eyes and hardness of the heart. He knew that this condition of the chosen race would become a means of blessing to the bishum's rain. As a nation of thirst away the lust chance. He knew that, they were going to respect Him as their true light and king. He pitied them in their false national, religious hopes and dreams, hence observing the city in the distance, and conscious of the creeds of busy men and women carrying out their great religious celebration, our Lord, the Empress weeps over Jerusalem saying: "If thou hadst known even thou at least in this thy day the things which belong to thy peace," but now they lay the eyes even mine. And they lay the even mine on the ground and thy children within the. And they will not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation." We who study these words coming from the Emmanuel's lips know that He know that His movements on this occasion were a sign. In fact, the vehicle of divine expression and the manifestation of reality is through signs and symbols on the human plane. It around us are illusions, shadows and pictures. Spiritual discernment can only give the right prospective, intellectual and moral consciousness a commendable possession, and best possession. Man has organized and personified scientific knowledge and has attempted to shape and direct the whole life of man's the same. Our Lord the Emmanuel in grace and mercy is coming into humanity, and over their shattered rules He is going to build the willing believers into a nation, among whom God will dwell. A large attendance of scholars and teachers greeted Assistant Superintendent Hogans at the opening of the Sunday School. A special program will be held by a chapel on Easter Sunday at 2 p.m. Miss M.
