Wilson, Organ (BY LUCIEN H. WHITE.) The above program was rendered at the annual concert of the Music School Settlement for Colored People, J. Rosamond Johnson, supervisor, at Carnegie Hall, Monday night, April 12, in the presence of an audience that well-night nilled that immense auditorium. Many of the most important figures in the music life of New York City being among those present, including such distinguished artists as Perricone Buson, Osap Galerhoutswisch, Percy Grainger and Maud Powell. Especially gratifying was the attendance of the colored people. They were easily three-fourths of the large audience, and were liberal patrons of the high-priced seats, as well as of the cheaper ones. Mr. Johnson labored under many disadvantages in preparing the program. He has been in charge of the Music School Settlement only six months, taking charge last October, and a 'raft of detail work in organizing and systematizing the various departments and classes of the school has fallen to his hands. Then, with barely two weeks' notice, he had to substitute the New Amsterdam Orchestra, which devotes its main attention to dance music, in place of a symphony orchestra. Within that short space of time, with limited opportunity for rehearsals, he had to prepare that orchestra to handle the extremely difficult orchestral score, to Coleridge-Taylor's Hainawatha's Wedding Feast. The best equipped symphony orchestra would had that a hard job. A Commendable Result. The result of his efforts are to be commended. There is room for improvement, but Mr. Johnson and his coworkers have no need to be discouraged. Plainly does it show that there is the capacity for greater achievement, a more limited work, a broader comprehension and a more skillful interpretation. The enthusiasm and energy of the director, coupled with knowledge, ability, skill, and a foundation of trained prepregression, will preeminently fit him for the task, make it very probable that, much greater results will soon be shown. The singing of the *Music School Central Society*, an organization of about 100 voices, gave further emphasis to the fact that the Negro is essentially a singing people its ensemble work in Rosamond Johnson's "Southland" was thrilling, the theatrical and coupled with the obligate work of Sara Byrd, afforded deep and real enjoyment to the audience. Mr. Eard's voice, "soaring above the ocean," voice, "sounding from the throat," was clear, ringing sweet and true with a carrying quality which, made it distinctive. Incidentally, Mrs. Byrd's work later, in two songs, "You're Sweet REBEE IN SOUTH AFRICA A report is received from Queenstown, South Africa to the effect that the Rev. John Chilienbwe, a missionary of the Baptist church, was shot and killed by the Manji police, in an unrising against the authorities. Chilienbwe was said to be the chief instigator. Four other rebels, caught rehandled, were tried and executed. The above statement is contained in the Lovetale Christum Express, and was sent from Queenstown by the Rev. E. Kati to the Rev. L. J. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board of the National Baptist Convention. Dr. Jordan, in response to an inquiry, says the hope is entertained that the report is false, as the Rev. John Chelenbwe, well known in this country, and a graduate of the Virginia Seminary and College, was not of the type of man that would become a rebel against his country. Chilembwe was brought to this country by the Rev., Joseph Boothe in 1897 ATLANTA UNIVERSITY WINS COLLEGE DEBATE Special to The New York Age. ATLANTA, Ga., April 13.—By unanimous vote of the judges in the ninth annual Atlanta-Fisk debate the team from Atlanta University was decided the winner.

Philip M. Waters, president of Gammon Theological Seminary. AGED SELMA CITIZEN DEAD: LEFT GOOD NAME Special to Tire New York Act. SELMA, Ala., April 13—Richard Hudson, 83 years of age, father of Prof. R. B. Hudson, died at his home on Lapsley street and Small avenue on Monday morning, April 5, at 7 o'clock.

VICIOUS MOVIE FILM That many of the objectionable features of the vicious moving picture play, "The Birth of a Nation," being shown in this city, have been eliminated, already, is the information given to THE Age by Commission of Licenses, Bell, Mr. Bell states also, that a deputy commissioner is present at the Liberty Theatre every night, and that further changes will be required of the management of the picture play. The picture company has made a strong light against eliminating objectionable features of the film but Mayor Mitchell and License Commissioner Bell, have stood firmly by their decision that those parts of the film which stander and label the Negro race must be eliminated. It is expected that within the next few days the picture management will have conformed to the mandate of the city officials. AUBURN CITIZENS STOP PICTURE SHOW Succesul to New York Arts Sports Aurora, N. Y. April 14—Prompt action on the part of the Rev. P. L. K. Fonvielle and H. T. Johnson stopped the scheduled presentation in this city of the moving picture play; "The New Governor" based on Shelden's book, "The Nigger," at one of the local picture houses. The Rev.

Mr. Ross took the matter up immediately and a half hour later informed the gentlemen that the picture would not be presented at his theatre. Segregation is gaining considerable foothold in Auburn, though it may not generally be known. The Y. M. C. A. refuses to admit to membership any colored youths, and only one or two of the hotels of the poorer class will accommodate colored guests. One of the largest stores in the city, Adams, refuses to serve Negroes at the soda fountain, and a suit is pending, to be tried in May, against the A. A. Syracuse R. E. Co., for barring Negroes from its dancing pavilion at Lakeside park. A concerted and united effort is being planned to light these and any other evidences of race prejudice coming to light in Auburn. OHIO GOVERNOR STOPS CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 13—The projected presentation in this city of the objectionable movie film, "The Nigger" was stopped by the action of the State Board of Film Censors, largely through the active and aggressive light led by Harry G.

Wilhus, which explains itself: STATE OF OHIO Columbus, O. April 5, 1916. Hon. John S. Smith, Editor of "The Gazette", Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Friend,— Upon receipt of your wire I replied at once.

The Philadelphia SEGREGATION IS NOW IN THE ARMY Detachment Commander at Fort Leavenworth, Kans. Issues Order MEN ARE HUMILIATED Negro Soldiers thunderstruck by order which separated them from army comrades at exercises in Post Building First Time an Order has been issued Commanding Segregation among Enlisted Men of the Army when Stationed at the same Post—Not Possible under any Former Administration Special to The New York Age. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. FORT LEAWNWORTH, Kan., April 13. The Negro United States soldiers stationed at this point are sore and sick under what they term the rankest and greatest humiliation which has been shown Negro soldiers since the Brownsville affair. For the first time in the history of the service segregation found its way into an army post, when the detachment commander issued orders that all Negro enlisted men with their families should occupy a part of the balcony separate from the white enlisted men and their families at the graduating exercises of the class in equitation held in the ruling hall at bort Leawnworth on April 1. It has always been the privilege of the enlisted men to attend army functions in this hall, and no discrimination 'has ever been shown because of color until this occasion. The humiliation of the detachment commander's order is accentuated by the fact that the Negro soldiers are in charge of the riding hall, so far as its care goes, and the order also detailed Negro soldiers as ushers to segregate themselves. Appeal to War, Department Usseless. While it is well known that the War Department has never heretofore countered discrimination against any part of the military forces, the men feel that an appeal to the Secretary of War is useless. Direct communication is impossible, because of military law, and any communication through regular channels would bring down upon the men the vengeance of the race prejudice martinet who is in command of the detachment. This action of the detachment commander is looked upon as a gratuitous insult and humiliation, as the Negro soldiers have been stationed here since the organizing of the detachment and not a complaint of any sort has ever been registered against them. It is a matter of common report that the Negro soldiers are on the best of terms with the white soldiers of the post and with the civilians of the city. The soldiers feel that they are being treated even worse than their comrades were at Brownville, since the authorities in that case based their action on the plea that it was a necessary disciplinary measure. That argument, however, cannot obtain in this case. Similar occurrences reported from the Philippine stations have been pronounced without foundation, but the most casual investigation will prove that the Negro soldiers at this station are discouraged and depressed because of the 'uncalled-for humiliation' which this segregation order has put upon them. The order was not issued until the day of the exercises, April 1, and it descended upon the men like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. The colored men are in Detachment No. 2. JUSTICE A DEAD LETTER FOR NEGROES IN S. C. Special to TU, New York Act. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April 14. On the plea that the constitutional guarantees of fair trial in South Carolina is a dead letter so far as Negroes are concerned a habeas corpus waft was sworn out on Monday in the Supreme Court in the behalf of Frederick Brown, a Negro, who has been held in this city for two years peding an attempt to extradite him to South Carolina. Brown is charged with a murder committed fifteen years ago, a whiter than being the victim. G. Edward Dickerson, attorney, is making the plea. OREGON WILL-REMOVE PROSCRIPTIVE LAWS Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. PORTLAND, OREGON. April 13. — The State Legislature has made provision to place on the ballot at the next election a constitutional amendment formally repealing sections S and 6, article 1 of the Constitution of the State of Oregon. These sections constitute the "Black Laws" of Oregon, which excluded from the State any Negro or mulatto, denying the right of suffrage to them regardless of place of birth or their citizenship. Both sections are, of course, null and void, and of no effect for the reason that they conflict with the fundamental f. this action is taken to remove the offensive sections from the statute (Continued from page 1.) to your Mammy, by rosaedan Johnson, made by Samson, Raven, was not nearly so satisfactory. "Listen to me, Lamby," a composition by K. Natanson, Dee of Hampton, wrote was mounted second prize in a competition in the Large spiralts, and Cook's "exorotion," were sung by the Music Society Settlement Glee Club, composed of trace voices. The obituary in "Exhornation" was sung by H. T. Bolden, tenor, who has a promising voice, but evidently was affected with nervousness. In the Dett number Miss Matte Harris, soprano, sang the obligato Roland Hayes is an Artist. Koland W. Hayes of Boston was the tenor sonosse for Hawatha's Wedding Feast, and he also had a group of songs. He sang two new songs, one by Harry T. burroughs, "The Glory of the Day Was in Her Place," and one by Rosamond Johnson, "Morning, Noon and Night" (the words to both of which were written by James W. Johnson, contributing editor of the New York and one by Coercidge-Taylor, "Late and Death." The accompaniments were played by Rosamond Johnson. Mr. Hayes was in spirit did voice and here out the promise on his last appearance at New York by giving a tassel and artistic performance. He is confidently the premier tenor or tenor face, and many of the most critical musicians of Boston say that he has no superior singing to world's great singers only in point of experience and development. Late An reported two successes against that he had been chosen by committee of prominent musicians to represent Massachusetts at the Natio on federation of Music. Club in Los Angeles, just in time. From the large number of contestants who competed Mr. Hayes was one or three selected, the or or two being white representatives—Moss, Aurora, LaCroix of Southbridge, penn st. and Miss Alba Coniey, contrariate in singing the solo in Hawatha, "Onaway. Awake Beloved." Mr. Hayes, though danced by the orchestra, gave most delightful pleasure. His conception and execution, with some quality, were exceptionally good. I believe that an omission of the portament, which he makes from Diat to Diat, in the ending of the solo, would not detract from his performance. "Hiawata's Wedding Feast," by Coleridge-Taylor, which concluded the program, was sung by the entire chorus, with piano, organ and orchestral accompaniment. J. Rosamond Johnson conducting. That Mr. Johnson has been able, within six months, to organize a chorus, try out and assign the voices, and prepare for rendition so difficult a work is almost beyond believing. When it is remembered that at the same time he was burdened with a mass of minutiar incident to the routine work of the school the results achieved are almost uncanny. This does not mean that the work of the chorus was perfect—far from it. Much remains to be done, but the work of the chorus on Monday night shows that the accomplishment will be simply a matter of time and application. Chorus Needs Balancing. The chorus is not well balanced, there being a notable deficiency in the bass section, which also showed timidity in making its attacks. A toning down of the atos is needed, one of the voices in that section especially ringing out in clarion notes above all the rest. It was a good voice, but the possessor or opened up too much a very powerful organ. The sopranos and tenors were well balanced, and sang with a precision of attack, roundly of tone and agreeable response to the conductor's baton. Iota, result of teachers of Mr. Johnson is to his credit. He has accomplished tasks that seemed impossible. He is taken a crude mass and worked it into symmetry and shapeiness. He will be encouraged, I am sure, to continue the work which presages so much for the future. Percy Granger, the Australian composer and pianist, at present on a visit to the United States was one of the interested auditors, and it goes without saying that Mr. Johnson will derive much satisfaction and pleasure from the following note which Mr. Granger wrote Monday night after returning to his hotel from the concert: Hotel College 310 West 57th Street, New York April 12, 1915 My dear Mr. Johnson I cannot thank you for the joy my mother had at night's concert, to tell you how much we admired all your work as inspired leader, organizer, composer and singer. You were a hero, indeed, and trusted everyone with any touch of the same quality within the world. Above all, deepest admiration for and congratulations on "Southland" and your other compositions. Most admirably and warmly yours. A Promising Pianiste. A number on the program which won from the audience unstinted plaudits was Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 8, played by Miss Ethel Richardson, pianist of the Music School Settlement. This young lady is from Newark, N. J., but she received her training in New York under Damrosch, Modest and unassuming, her personal characteristics are reflected in the smooth, even style of her playing. She brings to her task a developed technique and comprehension, though it might be said she does not bring out the wild abandon of the gypsyish spirit which runs through the Liszt composition. She gave a splendid exhibition of nerve and self-control, when, in the middle of her selection, a temporary lapse of memory came upon her. Covering her face for a moment with her hand, she recovered the lost strain, and proceeded with the execution of her number. It was a brilliant effort and the audience would not be satisfied with a bow in acknowledgment. She tried to refuse an encore, but the insistence of the people compelled a response, and she gave "The Bamhoogla," a transcription by Coleridge-Taylor of a South African dance. In the intermission between part first and part second, the Ilian, Charles W. Anderson, late Collector of Internal Revenue, was introduced by Elbridge Adanis, president of the Music School THE MUSIC BAND SOME GIRL S.UDENTS AT TUSKEGEE A contintual pursuit of trainees is now being trained workers, with an important out reach among the general population to learn trade trades to take a task from thirty-two states who are taking advantage of the opportunities to qualify for some line of trained enkavor, there are representives from southeen foreign countries, or colonies of foreign countries. The young women are taught cooking, Settlement, and in this mottled way Mr. Anderson told the audience "What are Museo S. Antonio Studiotor?" He simply said that to school too much, but it is purpose of caring for boy, girl and men and women, to give a play that takes signs of the community, to teach what is what person contributed by way of service. He paid a glowing tribute to our Foster Peabody, the product who has done much for the uplift of the Negro, and in this tribute the large audience enthusiastically concurred. He also commended the work of others connected with the school in an advisory capacity. NASHVILLE TENN Mr. Shallib, of Colorado, conducts a first grade school in the city. He points out that this is illustrated by the Po. A. S. Brown at the church Baptist Church Sunday morning. Dr. C. V.

Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair.

Works like magic, and is unique because another prep can be done like it. We offer a guard of $100 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure' the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from falling out; positively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it in place; provides a strong, solid under' a guarantee to do all that is claimed for it or money refunded.

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 record of the activities of the General Education Board from 1902 to 1914 presents some interesting sidelights on Negro progress. Two important facts focus the attention of the reader as the chapter on Negro Education is studied. And they are: 1. The race's most effective efforts towards economic independence is represented by the progress and development of the Negro farmer. 2. The future of the race depends in a great degree upon the successful organization of our rural schools. Eighty per cent. of the Negroes of the South live on farms and for a discouraging number of years, little attention was paid to their education and on account of this lack of proper facilities for intellectual development many of them were an easy prey to the wiles and cruelties of unscrupulous white landlords: Peonage ran rife; the Negro's labor was stolen, his fireside wrecked by immoral white men and his accumulations taken by scheming white country merchants These were some of the conditions which the General Education Board sought to change through the agency of education. Careful, diligent and unprejudiced studies into rural conditions of the South were made with a view of applying the proper method to change them and in the early activities of the Board, Negro education was given intelligent and sympathetic attention. It was painfully evident that the schools and colleges in the cities were doing but very little because a majority of the Negro children of the farms were lost in the miasma of ignorance and despair without even a chance to get to the city schools. Thus the slogan of the Board became, "Carry the education to the farms." In the beginning the work was very largely experimental, but with schools like Hampton and Tuskegee as a nucleus upon which to work, sufficient results were speedily realized upon which to base a definite plan for work. It was apparent that the system of education among these people must deal entirely with the fundamental principles of living—home-getting, home-making, home-keeping; and it devolved upon the rural public school to present this doctrine in an organized and systematic manner. The first effort towards this end was the appointment of a State Supervisor of Rural Schools for Colored People in the State of Virginia. He travelled over the state interesting the Negro farmers in better schools; brought white and colored men together in the counties to devise means to improve their rural school buildings; assisted in the choice of teachers; effected co-operation between the school and the farm demonstration agents and created a community sentiment and ambition for better educational advantages. So satisfactory were the results attained from this experiment that we now have State Supervisors in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas, with 128 County Supervisors under them, each of whom has a certain number of rural schools directly under their supervision. These county worker's mostly graduates of Hampton Halluskegue, Fisk. The New York "Globe" published three editorials last week that stirred the entire Negro population of this city with feelings of renewed hope and courage. When a great paper like "The Globe" three times in a week, makes a defense of us as a race and a plea for justice and fairness, we have a right to feel hopeful and encouraged. These three editorials were written in disapproval of the Dixon-Griffith photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation"; but they constituted a great deal more than a mere disapproval. From the first of them we quote two paragraphs as follows: of the race as women chasers and four men is a lesser tortion of history. Bad things occurred, but what man will say that, the outrages of black on white equalled in number the outrages of white on black? Which race even to the present day has the better right to complain of the unfairness and brutality of the other? White men in this country have never been just to black men. We tore them from Africa and brought them over as slaves. For generations they toiled without, recompense that their white owners might have unearned wealth and ape the ways of artistryocracy. The nation finally freed them, but has but slightly protected them in the enjoyment of the legitimate fruits of their freedom. We nominally gave them the vote, but looked on inactive when the right was invaded. We do not, in any state of the Union, grant to the Negro, economic and political economy. No white man of proper feeling can be proud of the record. The wonder is that the Negro is as good as he is. Then to injury is added slander. To make a few dirty dollars men are willing to pander to depraved tastes and to foment a race antipathy that is the most sinister and dangerous feature of American life. This first editorial immediately arrayed against "The Globe" various-champions of race hatred as a religion and a business. Letters were written by the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory, the Rev. (?) Thomas Dixon, D. W. Griffith and quite a number of unknowns. Being familiar with the sentiments of the two Rev. Thomases, we are not surprised at any narrow, bigoted, unchristian, uncharitable view they might express. They are both professional Anglo-Saxons, and there is no fiercer or more ferocious beast that is allowed to roam at large. And, yet, strange to say, both of their letters were rather tame and spiritless. The Rev. (?) Thomas Dixon made much of the charge that Thaddeus Stevens, who is the Stoneman of the photoplay, lived with Lydia Brown, a colored woman, as his mistress. To this charge "The Globe" in its second editorial replied in the following words: As to Thaddeus Stevens and his relations to Lydia Brown, these may be wisely left in obscurity just as the relations of distinguished leaders of the south to other Lydia One of the unknows, who signed his letter Max Grab, had this to say: The criticism of the Photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," is, in my opinion, totally unjustified. If anybody who should see "The Birth of a Nation" should feel bitter against the colored race, what effect would "The Huguenots" have on the average man who goes to the opera? From this correspondent's name we should judge that he belongs to a race whose members should be among the last to condone prejudice. But this is what we wish to say to Mr. Grab, that if he ever makes an argument of that kind to a jackass, he'll get his brains kicked out. The letters of Gregory and Dixon were tame, but Griffith foamed at the mouth, and proceeded to call the writer of "The Globe" editorials "a liar and a coward." Griffith is not so well known as Gregory and Dixon; so, perhaps, he took this rather over used method of establishing his status as a "Southern gentleman." Mr. Griffith goes on to say that "The birth of a Nation" depicts good Negroes as well as bad Negroes. Our difference with Mr. Griffith on this point is most likely a matter of terms. What Mr. Griffith means when he says "good Negroes" is undoubtedly what is meant in certain sections by the more colloquial phrase of "good niggers." At any rate, Mr. Griffith takes the only intelligent colored man in the play and makes him a villain and a friend; while he takes a couple of bowing, scraping, sychophantic old darkies, and holds them up as the highest type of Negro. Mr. Griffith claims that no characters are applauded with greater fervor than the "good Negroes"; this very fact is proof of the kind of light in which the Dixon-Griffith play places the race. Not in this whole picture, which is supposed to represent the birth and growth of the nation, is there one single Negro who is both intelligent and decent. Griffith devotes some special words to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He attempts to taunt the officers and members by calling the society a "pro-intermarriage Atlanta, Spelman and similar dial relationship which exists between the races as the result of These Jeanes Fund workers (as they are called) reach not only the school children but they organize the mothers into clubs and teach them sanitation, cooking, sewing, preserving, canning, home gardening and such things, and the results may last be judged from some of their reports. The Jeanes Fund worker operating in Macon County, Alabama, with headquarters at Tuskegee Institute, reports seven thousand cans and jars of fruit and vegetables put up by the colored women and girls in her county. In fifteen counties of Virginia, the report shows 617 colored girls in these clubs cultivating 416 home gardens. The girls in these counties put up in one season 10,504 jars of vegetables and their mothers 12,269. Many of these were sold and the balance kept for home consumption. In commenting upon the cor- dial relationship which exists between the races as the result of this educational awakening, the report says: "At one of the summer institutes held for Negro teachers in Georgia, the work of the Negro industrial teacher was so novel and interesting: that the white county superintendent asked her to come over to the white institute in order to give a demonstration of her work. She was kept half a day answering questions and explaining the way she did his work. At other times, white teachers have gone to see what the Negroes were doing in their institute. What they observe surprises the white, and the experience affords pleasure and stimulation to the Negro teachers." "Shall this not be a mighty entering wedge to reach the prejuju's and the sympathies of the white, people?" asks the state agent in reporting the incidents. As to the intermarriage question, on which D. W. Griffith lays so much stress in his letter to "The Globe," Lincoln often encountered it in his day. Douglas constantly taunted him with the question as to whether he wanted to marry a Negro. He responded that he could not see that any aversion he might have to making a black woman his wife was a reason why he should want to make her his slave. The intermarriage stuff in the Griffith film he would regard as full cousin to the same sort of nonsense that he had so often heard. He felt sure there was much danger of undesirable blood mixture through illicit relations, which were inevitable if one race was degraded, while there was no danger through regular marriage. Lincoln would not be more impressed by Mr. Dixon's solicitude concerning race purity than he was by the similar solicitude of Douglas. He was of the opinion that such anxiety merely indicated a general desire to be unjust to the Negro and to get an excuse for the injustice. But do not think that Mr. Griffith's letter was entirely one-sided. In a sentence of eleven words he admits that slavery was an economic mistake. Let us see to it. Mr. Griffith that the South and he whole country would be fortunate if slavery had been merely in economic mistake; for it could have been paid in dollars and cents. But slavery was a great moral mistake. Slavery was a great national sin. And it must be paid in suffering. And let Dixon and Griffith bear this in mind, "The Birth of a Nation" is also morally wrong; and it, too, will exact its toll of suffering from somebody. Those responsible for the picture claim that it was not produced for the purpose of stirring up race hatred and injuring the Negro; whether they are sincere or not doesn't matter; the fact remains that the picture does accomplish just these things. This is well illustrated by the following incident: A white gentleman of this city, a prominent lawyer and a man deeply interested in the welfare of colored people, took his two boys to see the play. On coming out of the theatre the elder said to him, "Father, I cannot suppose you will think so much of your colored friends now." If the picture thus impressed a boy whose mind is unbiased, he can be imagined what its effect is upon persons already poisoned with the virus of race prejudice. There appears to be no legal way of stopping "The Birth of a Nation," but the press of the city can tightly put the production in bad repute. We hope that other great publications will follow the example of "The Evening Post," "The World" and "The Globe." CULLEN SHOULD CLEAR HIMSELF: The Rev. Frederick A. Cullen has not seen fit to accept the suggestion made to him in our issue of March 25. His reappointment to Salem M. E. Church should not be regarded as a vindication. The serious charges made against him still stand, and no effort has apparently been made by him to disprove them. The Rev. Mr. Cullen may not think it necessary. Salem M. E. Church may not think it necessary. But the public, which is the majority, does think it necessary that the Rev. Mr. Cullen disprove these charges. The authors of these serious accusations can be punished if found guilty of falsifying and deed with in accordance with law. We still insist that if the Rev. Mr. Cullen is guilty he should be removed and not permitted to occupy the pulpit of Salem Church one second. Immorality should not be condoned by those in authority." It is now up to the Rev. Frederick A. Cullen to clear himself LAKEWOOD N L: Lakewood, N. J., Sunday was rally day at the Sixth Street Baptist Church. In the afternoon the Rev.

DLEY, President, Greensboro, N. E. OS SOLD O INSTRUCTIVE DRY NEGRO RACE ALTHOUGH the daily press throughout the United States is working as zealously to make Jess Willard popular as it labored to make Jack Johnson unpopular, somehow it has been difficult to manufacture genuine enthusiasm for the, new heavyweight champion. The public seems to be curious enough to see Willard, but he is not treated like the conquering Hero you read about in novels, and he has not proved a strong box-office attraction. Hundreds have shown a desire to see Johnson's conqueror as long as such a rare privilege is enjoyed free of charge, but all of the exhibitions given by Willard have been financial failures. Even at Hammerstein's Victoria this week, where the champion is showing, no extra force is needed to look after the crowd on the inside. But probably all this is due to hard times. There still seems to lurk in the minds of many the thought that Jack Johnson did not do his best to win in Havana and that the contest was a frame-up. Thousands of white citizens are as much of this opinion as many colored citizens. It is difficult for them to understand how Willard, practically a green, unscientific fighter, could whip Jack Johnson, a ring general with a world of experience, a master in the art of self-defense, and one who had never been made to overly exert himself in the prize ring. No matter what the press has to say on the fight, the consensus of opinion among the colored residents of Harlem is that the fight was fixed for Willard to win. To them it is inconceivable that Johnson should lose to Willard in a fight strictly on the level. And what's more, after they go to Hammstein's Victoria Theatre and watch the new champion in his stage exhibition they return to their homes more firmly entrenched than 'eyer' in the thought that the fight was staged for Willard to win. What makes matters worse, Sam MeVea, who was in the Johnson camp and gave a boxing exhibition with Johnson several days before the fight, has come out in a statement that the contest was fixed. Tuesday evening I met MeVea at the Lafayette Theatre and I asked him if the Johnson-Willard battle was on the level. This was his laconic reply: "It was cut and dried!" W. B. ("Bat") Masterson, the New York Morning Telegraph fight expert, always fair and impartial, is inclined to discount MeVea's 'charges, expressing himself in part as follows: It seems to me that Sam McVea, the big Negro fighter, could be in a better business than circulating a report to the effect that the Havana and New York newspapers had a cooked-up affair in which Johnson morally played a part for the "movies." McVea is without one selentia of evidence to support such a statement, and when he made the claim he did, it was not. I am sure, for the purpose of giving the public his honest opinion, but rather to detract if he could from Willard's view. Petty jealousy, in my opinion, is what prompted McVea to give out the interview that the fight was a frameup. McVea might, of course, like many of those who were there have been gravely polished in the champion's performance; likewise in Willard's ability; but that McVea saw or heard anything to justify him in circulating the level is not to be thought of for a moment. Nor do we believe McVea is the right man to criticise or question the honesty of a battle. Willard will not be seen in the prize ring for many months, if the plans of his managers are carried out. The champion is a poor man and before he takes chances of losing the role he intends to make some money. Not many are inclined to blame Willard and his managers for taking this stand, especially in view of the fact that there are a number of pugilists looked upon by some as Willard's supriors—Sam Langford and Sam McVea in particular. It must be admitted that the stand taken by Willard and his managers does not make him bigger or more of a champion in the eyes of the public, as it suggests a lack of confidence the champion and his advisers have in his ability to retain the championship. Willard could make more money in the prize ring than in appearing on the stage. He is now the world's champion heavyweight and can arrange matches that should accrue to his financial benefit. He is in a position to dictate terms, and if really of championship calibre can win large purses and win big money on wagers. Before fighting any of the white aspirants for the heavyweight title it is said that Willard is to advise them to go and get a reputation for themselves. Rather an inconsistent stand for the new champion to take in view of his rapid rise. Over in Paris devotees of the manly art do not consider Willard, champion, practically on the grounds that the Kansan should have first made a reputation for himself by fighting Laigortford. A dispatch from Paris gives the following information: The Tempa declares that Jess Willard does not become champion. Dancing! Dancing! Dancing! The Tempo Club PRESENTS MR. AND MRS.

Previous to the war the International Boxing Union decided that the championship rested between Johnson and Sam McFarlane, who were to hold the fight November. Langford therefore retains the right to meet the winner of the Willard-Johnson fight, according to the decision of the boxing union. Instead of taking a long vacation it would Willard in good stead to get busy, and arrange a few hours to show that he is the goods, even if he has to judiciously pick "soft ones" as opponents; for his right to possess the heavyweight title seems to be questioned from many quarters, and the only way to win over those in the "Doubling Thomas" category will be, to prove that he is the real thing.

Richard Manuel Bolden, pastor of the First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street, said: "Two conditions of destructive thinking are manifesting themselves among the people, heresy and apostasy. This state of destructive thinking engrains the mass of people, grooves the ethosical and sagittical. The human mind darkened by these thoughts is restless and hopeless. The end of all who have such a mind is death; not only death of body but of human spirit and soul. Therefore we Emmanuelites have the opportunity to fulfill our faith, can daily in thought, word, and act, show that we worship in spirit and in truth, the Father, God: We are to let the people see that as we become conscious of our growing ability of the real spirit life, yielding our wills, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, we will be able to have put on the new man Christ-Jesus, and are living in Him." This our Lord, God incarnate was flothed that perfectly in man that from His early childhood to thirty years of age, there is no special mention of his life that would indicate his 'Lordship' that three years formed immediately following He manifested himself, and that at the close of these three years He was crucified, yielded up the ghost, terminated human animation, was buried, on the third day was changed to an Immortal person, by the power and authority of the God that He was. We are to carnely make known that, he arose above and beyond human limitations and formed to His Father to take His proper station on the right hand side of His Father. That he hath redeemed the world from sin our included therein. That He is our personal savior, the source and giver of eternal Life, the beginning of the Holy Spirit; the true righteous ruler of humanity, the only righte holy, everlasting absolute monarch, who in the quick and the dead, the judgment resulting in punishment for the wicked, but reward for the righteous. We Immanuels adore Him as one Lord in the Trinity and as the Trinity in unity. He is our exalted Divine Human Brother, having secured for us on Eternal Home, where we will share in His Eternal Glories, our slogan is The Emmanuel for the world, the world for the Emmanuel. We will watch and pray for his second coming in power and great glory. At the conclusion of the sermon, Mrs. M. Bell was admitted into full membership in the church.

The Appellate Court, Second Department, March, 1915, by Justice P. J. Jenks, handed down a decision in the case of David Fuchs, appellant, deciding that the city magistrates have no jurisdiction to try and convict for violation of Sunday laws. Fuchs was fined $10 in the Manhattan avenue police court by Magistrate Howard P. Nash for removing soda water tanks from a business establishment on Sunday, and sentenced to five days in jail. Counselor Perry, attorney for Fuchs, took an appeal, and Judge Lewis L. Fawcett of the county court granted a certificate so Fuchs did not have to serve the jail sentence.
