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-

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

THE NEGRO FARMER
A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers.
It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office. Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers, and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers.
Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman."
The Tuskegue Institute has no financial interest in its new publication, but some of the active officers are interested in its success and believe that it will compil great good but a pay investment based on strong organization and fund advance to assure its publication.

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
Jdefames 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 o!
thuman passi@is, a picture that will fan the very-Rres of hell where:
ever it is shown. aan :
If the.actual commission of robbery and murder is tahoodt“in

In the three largest cities inthe North more crimes. éf.rapé are
committed by white men in a year than by. blacks in the entire South

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 entircly drowned by the thunder of that last magnificent
paragraph. Those last lines ate niore than mere newspaper writing.
‘There is something’ini them that touches the same emotions which are
stirred by Lincoln's Gettysburg speceh. . .
We wonder if Tom Dixon'can possibly read those words and
not feel that he is among the meanest and-rhost despicable of men.
THE “POETRY CORNER" AGAIN.
We feel that results have fully justified the establishnient of the
Poetzy Cornér.” Taken as a whole, the verses already published
have heen very creditable: some of them have.renched no small de-
gree of excellence. Mr. Hiram II, Holland's poent, “An Airo- Amer-
ican Peace Prayer,” brought,a tribute of praise from Mr. Braith:
waite, the well-known literary critic; and miost deservedly.
‘There are several of our “Poetry Corner” zomtributors who show
great protiise, 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.
Wé thought that our contributors understood that the “Corner”
was established to ‘give to the fight only the original work of our
younger poets; yetione of them sent us x poem which we published
and afterwards found that it had been previously published in an-
other periodical. “If we wished to reproduce, work already, published
we should'resort to the simple expedient of ‘clipping. pee
Perhaps some confusion may arise from our practice of not
rétuming 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. Here-
after, if contributors sill” enclose with their manuscripts a self-
addressed and stamped envelope, we shall return to thenta slip stat-
ing that the verses will be published-in the “Corner.” or, in case'we
cannot use'them; we shall return the manuscript, In this way con
tributors can know within ten days whether their verses will be pub-
lished or not. * - . :

In fact, the Zionist movement ‘will, perhaps, have no greater
general success than the attémpts to colonize us in Africa. :
Here are some of the things that'Dr. Levin said in bis speech:
ge. People of my faith, we have heen in exile for two thousand. years.
‘The.war will last perhaps anoyter half year. The Zionist’ organization
will fight your battes;.if it has a membership great enough it will have:
as much right to espression at the world peace conference thatis voming +

Sorichow. those few sentences give us soinething of a peep at

*cPhe wa? has brought forward a renewed discussion of the ques-
tion of the advancement of the human race. Dr: James J. Walsh of
Cathedral-College of New York in a recent lecttire 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 shat at
least. we could be zkinder toward non-combatants. ‘4
stan does nBt progress. Our Philosophy is 2 joke compared to that
* of the Greeks, “While history demonstrates that there is rio progress,
there is no evidence of any evolution of man, The oldest skulls we
have .are just like ours. m .
+ Mf it were not forthe present terrible conflict, urese words would
seem to be nothing less than absurd exaggeration, Dut, in the light
of what is happening, they reveal. great deal of truth:
Do our récords. as far back asithey con xo, show that mari has
made any absolutc,advancement? “Or is our advancement only
apparent? Has civilization really changed and bettered maii's prini~
itive nature? , Or has it merely set up-barriers and restraints, whieh?
when’ they are broken down leave him the same primitive brute
he was 3,000 years ago? + nee Gs
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. Whereyer we have the greatést height of
civilization, we also have the grestest depths of degradation. Wher
ever there are no great heights, there are no great depths. .
‘The war.has brought forth a stitement far more .astounding
than the one made by Dr. Walsh on the advancement of the lumant
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-Sealury Ordnance Corporation has ened down orders

& H OW Willard May Beat Johnson”
. is the subject of an article from
: the pen of Joe Vila of the New
York Hvening Sun, in, which he makes
this significant statement : ;
% at a competent referee, fearless
enough to enforeo the Quvensherry
rules, presides overthe forty-five
- ‘round fight between Jack Johnson
and Jess Willard at the Havant
race ruck on April 4 the world's,
heavywelght champtonshtp may. ho!
“t poturned to the, white rice, ‘The
selection of a réferce ty the muat
fmportant factor In bringing the
battle ton decisive end. If the Ne~
gro ts allowed to Violate the rules ©
iby holding tn the clinches ard -by
grabbing Wiltard’s Ileeps In” ac-
cordance with hts methods in for,
mor scraps {t Is sife to say thit
: tho battle will be “nothing more
than a tresome hugging match,
But if the Negro 1s forced to box
- as Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Jef-
frien were’ compelled to do when
they held the big title In turn Wil-
lard may be the winner,
After, reading these few remarks by
Joe Vila I first move tliat he change his
“name to “Villa,” as his ideas and those
of the Mexican bandit Sem to be very
much in common along’certain lines.
~\ What Joc Vila seems to infer by in-
nuendo is that the only chance Willard
_ has to beat Johnson is by, the referée
making the white nian champion on some
slight technicality. In other words, “the
.shampioriship may be returned to the
white race” provided a referee is chosen
who is fearless enough snd 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
sohaees hat Johnson in previous fights
violated the Patehe liolding his oppo-
nents. 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 ke a man
and fought Johnson, Kiynn, a few
years ayo, emulated the fighting methods
of a goat, and tried to butt the cham»
pion to death, and in his tight with
Moran some nionths ago in London
Moran’ distinguished himself by bugging
the colored man with more feryency and
with more frequency than wold a Ro-
meo lovingly embrace a Juliet, In both
instances Johnson had to firmly hold his
opponents to keep them from resortidg
to methods notembodied in*the Wucens-
bury rules." Hugging and butung are
thot. regarded in order in the arena and
Johnson found it necessary to defend
himself, as the officials in the rig here
somewhat lenient with his antagomsts in
both instances,
_ The contest. between Johnson and
Willard at the Havana Racetrack next
week should be easily won hy the chiam-
pion; that is, unless a frame-up of sume
sort is uncorked on either Johnson or
the unsuspecting public.
There is a rumor current that John-
gon 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
sce Willard win or whether they have
“secured some inside information.
Jack“Johnson has heen severely criti
cised for committing indiscretions which
have done neither himself nor his raec
_ 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
“att 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 squarest
fighters that ever donned a glove, That
Johnson would sell himself at this late
daté is hard to believe.
Should Johnson lose the title next
week to Willard, very likely it will be,
as inferred by Joe Vila, because Willard
was assisted by “a competent ‘and fear-
less referce,”” 7

vorhood Chub and the National League

company's Arst 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 lyceuni bureaus
and Chautauqua circuit; and it has been
Placed generally in the white-churches
and Y.M>C. A. halls.
Accustomed to singing in huildings
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
Casing, which possesses every possible
advantage for’ any other kind of an
entertainment, but none at all for a
vocal concert.” :
‘An audience, representative in make-
up and gratifying’ in number, erected
Mr. Williams and his artists, and gave
2 most sympathetic hearing. The com-
pany responded to the cordiality ex-
pressed and rendered its program in an
| effective and pleasing manner, The vast
spaces and lack of sound-presérving
facilities make it extremely diffiewlt to
sing effectively from the Manhattan Ca-
siito stages and ini addition to this jhan-
dicap the singers had further to contend
Favith a very’ much abused piano. The
accompaniments were playede upon the
instrument which dues yeoman service
at every dance given in Manhattan Ca-
sino,
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’ amd
four women, composing the company.
Charles P. Williams is-the founder and
manayer, and ke-has succeeded in put-
ung the’ organization on a solid: and
lasting foundation, both artistically and
financially’ George L. Johnson. leading

‘The program offered a variety. of
music, rangitig from the popular -batlad
tb) grand opera, ameluding-plantauion and
julmtee melodies. The concerted num-
“bers were the bridal chorus from Cowen’:
Kose Maiden, not an effective opening
‘number, but rentered with understanding
and’ sympathy; Nevin's Rosary, Mme.
Merrill singing an obligate (ths was
given instead of the Inflammatus from
Stubat Mater, the change being regret-
tahly unavoidable): the Miserere from
Verdi's If Trévatore, the duet taken by
George L. Johnson and Mme/ Merrill;
and the sextette from Lucia’ di Lam-
mermoer, 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" Li'l Lam," words by Dun-
har, set to music hy Parks,
Solo nufibers were Mme, Merrill
who sang the aria from Saint-Saens’
Somson and Delilah, "My Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice.” Mme. Merrill has a hig
voice, very much more of a contralto
than a soprano, and she sings with
fervor and abandon. It would be to
her advantage, | am thinking, if she
‘endeavored to moderate somewhat {he
‘volumne of tone. She puts too fuch ex-
ertion in her endeavors and unless, she
has an iron constitution, must be in a
staje of physical exhaustion at the con-
clusion 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, oppor-
tunity 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 consideratior
‘on, its quality “alone. ‘The audience
showed its appreciation, after her first
encofd, when: she sang’ "Maggie, the
Cows are-in the Clover,” by insistently
demanding her appearance for the .sec-
‘ond encore, even though Mr, Williams
had come’ out .all dressed inn 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 contralta tones heard’ in the
choruses had already won a place for
her in’ the hearts of the auditors My

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. Johnson and Mrs. S. C. Jackson in charge.
A sundial program was given by Miss Pauline Jackson at the meeting on the Literary Society, at 4 p.m. James Hinton acted as master of cereal for the Townsend event, the singing of William Townsend rendered sundial did music. At 8 p.m. the Woman's Missionary Society had charge of the services. A special sermon was preached to them by Pastor Bolden. "before the sermon the sermon was sung," the Singing, "from Greenland's ice Mountains," reading-sculture lesson and

Townsend, served dinner during the day, and the president, J. M. Hinton, presented $20 to the church proceeds from the same.
James Hinton made a handsome velvet table cover for the church table.
A handsome brass sign with white letters was presented to the president of the Morning Glory Circle. A short service was held dedicating the sign to the glory of the Emmanuel.
The concert given by the Willing
Waters' Circle was a success. Each

dience, which crowded the house.
