S TO BE INVESTIGATED Delegation of Pine Bluff Citizens Presented Matter to Gov.Hays—Entire Student Body had Quit Classroom. SUPT. INSULTED MISS WADE Delegation of Negroes Ask Governor to Investigate Matter—Governor Promises Justice and Says Law Guarantees Negro Every Right Given the White People of the State. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. PENN BLEVY, Ark. April 20—Governor Hays took official notice, of the trouble at Branch Normal College when, on Monday, April 12, he ordered the school closed. He informed a delegation of colored citizens that if the objectionable conditions had existed, as they said, for so many years, they had date their people and all the people of the State area harmed by not reporting it before now. The white superintendent of the technical department, W. S. Harrison, charged by Quiplash Walt counsel to the girl students, with misdeeds prophetic to her and with treachery to help for acceptance, attendance and other articles. The elements of the school after making an unsuccessful effort to have the principal, T. Vinegar, take up the matter of the charges of improper action against the superintendent, withdrew in a sleep from attendance on classes. A police investigation, was held by a board committee, but the action was not satisfactory. As the students refused to attend classes, the Governor ordered the school closed. On Wednesday afternoon, April 14, a delegation of the leading colored citizens of Pine Bluff presented a petition to Governor Hays, denying that Harris was opposed because of his color, and asking for a full investigation of all rumors concerning immoral acts on the part of any member of the faculty, white of black, that twenty days be given to prepare evidence, and that an official stenographer be appointed to take note of the proceedings. The delegation was composed of the following citizens: the Rev. James Jones, chairman; the Rev. J. C. Robinson, the Rev. P. W. DeLyles, the Rev. R. W. Patterson, Dr. F. P. Lytes, Dr. W. E. Watton, Dr. H. L. Jordan, Dr. W. O. Taylor, Dr. D. W. Young, Attorney J. F. Jones, who spoke for the delegation, and H. M. Thomas. Boys and Girls Would Be Sacrificed. Declaring the belief that that recent trouble at the college had never been thoroughly investigated, giving reasons for the belief, and petition recited that persons now on the faculty of the college have bad reputations for morality and virtue: that it would be sacrificing the boys and girls to send them to the college, with the present moral evils uncorrected. The delegation declared it represented not merely the people of Pine Bluff, but that it had assurance from people of all sections of the State that they joined in the effort to secure a school free from any taint of immorality. The best white people of Pine Bluff, believing the cause just and righteous, are supporting the delegation's efforts. The Kew, James Jones, chairman, stated also to the Governor that a situation over which the Negroes had no control had prevented the airing of conditions that have existed heretofore, but that now the ball has started there should be no let up until all is cleared. The Governor's statement to the delegation is as follows: A few years ago, the students of the state university went out on a strike, and the university feels the effects of that strike today. I am not inclined to think, that any school can be regulated by such methods. I have listened with deep interest to all the statements, coming to me about the addition of the branch, normal college, an interested, the use of your children. You have the right under the law, to every guarantee that is given the white people of the state. If the conditions at the branch normal college are as you say they are and have existed all these years, you have done your people and all the people of the state great harm by not registering before now. I sent some of the known men in the state down to investigate the matter and if you did not get the right kind of investigation, then the public is invited to have a proper investiga- I will no power outside of the trust, I will say what, will or can be you are entitled to clean and you are to teach your children. I not or I cannot our people an injury. I shall take admission the matter you have and will see if anything can be and I will do my best to see it concerned, so far as I am able, like in the matter." 1. 2. Vinegar, who has been-deposed opal by the Governor's action in closing the school, appeared at St. John A. M. E. Chirch on Sunday night, April 11, and made an attempt to answer the critics who charged him with wilful neglect of duty in failing to have the charges against Superintendent Harris investigated. His utterances were rather profane and vulgar, it is alleged, and it is not thought by his friends that he benefitted himself or justified his actions by the speech. BISHOP WALTERS IS HONORED BY COUNCIL For the first time since it was brought into existence six or seven years ago, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, with direct supervision over seventeen million communicants, has given recognition to the attainments of Negro churchmen by electing Bishop Alexander Watters of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church to the administrative committee of the council. The council is officered by some of the most distinguished churchmen in America, both clerical and lay, with Prof. Shailer Mathews as president. The Rev. Charles S. Mastarday is general secretary, the Rev. Henry K. Carroll, associate secretary, and the Rev. Sidney L. Gulch, representative of Commission Relations with Japan. The Rev. William I. Haven is chairman of the administrative committee. A dinner was tendered to Dr. Mathews and Dr. Gulch on Monday evening, April 19, at Hotel Astor, by the Federal Council of Churches, the Church Peace Union, the New York Peace Society and the Japan Society, at which Bishop and Mrs. Watters were honored guests. They were accorded every courtesy and were seated at table No. 5, at which were also Bishop Robert L. Rudolph of the Episcopal Church, and Bishop Luther B. Wilson of the M. E. Church, with the Rev. J. E. Lyall, M. Lamlert and the Rev. L. O. William. PLEDGES NOT PAID AND BUILDING IS DELAYED by the Three buildings to be erected by the Young Men's Christian Association, from money secured through tax- tion campaign of November, 1913, contracts have been let and work has already started on the Downey Branch for the relief of needy men, at 8 East Third street, and the Union Branch, at 101st street 10 Washington avenue in The Bronx. Owing largely to the fact that only one-quarter of the plaques made by colored people had been collected, although the whole $57,000 subscribed was due and payable on or before November 15, 1914, less progress has been made in plan for erecting a building for the Colored Men's Branch. Building committees have been appointed by the board of directors of the City Association and by the committee of management of the branch, an arch- itect, John F. Jackson, 1528 Broadway, has been selected, and search is now being made for a suitable site in the Harlem district. Meanwhile plans are being made to accelerate the collection of the overdue subscriptions, since it is the determination of the directors that there shall be no debt on the new building, and no more money will be spent on it than can be actually realized from the subscriptions. WHITE WOMAN FAKES SPEAK TO THE NEW TOWN INDIANA FOLIOS, Ind., April 20—Another alleged outrage by Negroes proved to be a glimmer of white women, when Adelle Gimnas, a white woman, declared to police officers that she had been attacked at the corner of Meridian and Ohio streets, a centrally located spot, by three Negroes, two men and one woman, and dragged to a vacant lot nearby. She declared in her carefully rehearsed cock-and-bull story that something white had been thrown over her head, her shoulders bared, and pins stuck in her body by her assaultants. It was just a year ago that the officers had been fed upon a similar story by a young telephone operator, so they were inclined to take the Ginnsz woman's story with salt. She was swathed in bandages and to all appearances was suffering, from severe injuries. Investigation followed, but after the officers applied the "third degree" to her, the woman confessed that the tale was a fabrication. The other woman's story was told that she might escape from paying a board bill, but the detectives could not discover the reason for the fabrication by Miss Ginnsz. GASTRITIS MEDICINE Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 21—Drug-in a medicine taken for gastritis caused Policeman George Casey to shoot around the feet of Thaddeus Hyman. 2235 Oxford street, forcing Hyman to dance for the policeman's entertainment, according to the statement made by Casey to the Police Board of Inquiry on Monday. Hyman is a window cleaner and was pursuing his avocation at 19th and Columbia streets when Casey came along and engaged him in conversation. Hyman, believing Casey was drunk, would not respond to his advances, so the officer drew his gun and by firing around the colored man's feet, forced him to dance. Casey was arrested at that time and placed under $300 bond to keep the peace. He told the board that he had been taking medicine for gastritis and the drug therein caused his strange actions.

CONF: APPROVES METH. ORGANIC UNION Special to The New York Act. BALMORE, Md., April 21.—The most important action taken at the Washington Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which came to an end at John Wesley M. E. Church on Monday night, April 19, was the adoption of a resolution offered by the Rev. Ernest Lyon, asking that the law of the church be changed to permit of organic union with other Methodist bodies, which will provide Negro bishops for Negro conferences. —Bishop Earl Cranston, who presided over the session, the Rev. Carlton D. Harris, representative of the Southern M. E. Church, and Bishop William Hurt of the Baltimore annual conference have expressed approval of the plan of organic union, and the matter now rests with the general conference of the M. E. Church South. The resolutions offered by Dr. Lyon, and adopted by an overwhelming vote, are as follows: Resolutions. Whereas the Patriotic Union of all Meth- dals in the United States of America is pro- mised in the solution of which is in- teresting world-wide interest; and Whereas, the Methodist Episcopal Church of South the most its last General Conference has expressed already its warranties for purity by the addition of a joint signatory and by the general initiative and by which this initiative plan provides for four jurisdictions or qualifidinal conferences, one of which shall include the colored membership of the denominations and Whereas, our Church by the fre- e offerings of its most prominent members has expressed this unity con- tained by the plan is a condition and an assurance of a workable basis and a uncementously dis- signed. When, as we have been impressed upon the public utterances upon the subject by the great litter Living Methodist; the Rev Bishop Earl Crandon, has committed a problem of this Conference to the exalted position and conserved life place him in the force of ecclesiastical statesmen and entitle him to precedence as an art historian and counsellor and. Whereas the latest and most potent still expression upon the subject has been presented to the Chief who is representative of the Southern Methodist Episcopal church in his address before the Brittish—annual conference which has just closed its work in Baltimore in speaking of the unification of the three Methodisms said the Chief for the answer of the Methodist Episcopal Church General conference decision of the Southern M. E. Church as expressed by its general conference—and to which Bishop William Burt pertinently replied. "There is a revival on and I hope that it is so warm that we can reunite together. We are waiting for the gentle south to come nearer to us"; and, Whereas, in our judgment this tentative plan providing for jurisdictional conferences will throw upon our own resources, will enable us to stand upon our feet, will make us competent to unite, raise race consciousness, self-reliance, self independence and race solidarity; therefore be it resolved. First. That we, in order to facilitate action, record ourselves as favoring the jurisdictional or quadrennial plan, that which is adopted by the next general conference will lead the church out of difficulties and embarrassments. Second. That we declare it a plan eminent to be desired, because as the editor of the Zion Herald has declared, the colored membership have been well guarded, because it will do away with the constant friction manifested in our own general conferences, because it will give the colored membership full hedged bishops, having equal authority those of the other membership, because it will give them of unity to participate in the general legislation of the church, and because it will give them that freedom of action to develop within their own border as a self-constituted body, which freedom they cannot now enjoy. This plan because in their arrangement it would open the way for real opportunity for development of the race along all lines, and it would quicken its aspirations and give it an impetus that would be magical in its effects and consequences, and it would quicken the adoption of these resolutions.

Boston, Mass., April 21.—Moving picture plays based on race, problems will be barrel from presentation in the State of Massachusetts as soon as Governor Walsh can get the State Legislature to pass a law to that effect.

The Supreme Court has denied the plea of Leo M. Frank, convicted in Atlanta of the murder of Mary Phagan. This removes Frank's last hope, unless it be the commutation of his sentence to life imprisonment by the pardoning board of Georgia. We have no desire to see Frank executed or even imprisoned for life. Our contention all along has been against the organized effort to free the convicted man on the ground that the principal testimony for the State was given by a Negro. This effort went to the extent of declaring that the Negro in the case must be the guilty man, for the simple reason that he was a Negro. It was this phase of the case that THE AGE fought. Conley, the colored man in the case, was found guilty as an accessory and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. His time is now almost up. We believe that Conley has received just punishment for the part he may have taken in the murder. We reaffirm our belief in Conley's innocence of the murder because it is impossible to conceive that a Negro, in a crime of this sort, the outrage and murder of a white girl, would stand any chance for his life unless his innocence was absolutely obvious. There has been much talk about the prejudice against Jews in Atlanta. There may be such a thing, but there could be in Atlanta no prejudice against any sort of white man to equal the prejudice against a Negro in a case like that of Mary Phagan. NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES We, as a race, are continually complaining of lack of opportunities. It is true that our opportunities are limited, but it is also true that we do not make the fullest use of the opportunities that we have. It is truer still that we do not create a great many opportunities which are in our power to create. Opportunities are no good to a man who is not prepared to meet them. Preparation is as necessary as opportunity. We complain in this city of the absence of colored men in the police, and fire departments, and still we make no effort to prepare ourselves for appointment. Let some of our young colored men study, and take the civil service examinations for these two municipal Branches. They will find that color will not stand in their way. The fact that several colored men have succeeded in getting on the police force is proof that others can do it. PARAGRAPHS When Jack Johnson licked Jim Jarrett, one of the coins of the coinage of a new word for the English language. Now that Johnson has been conquered, we may expect to hear of "black hopes." GEN. HUERTA saw his first baseball game one day last week and pronounced it a tame affair. Of course, nothing could prove exciting to a main who has been president of Mexico during a revolution. The "Terrible Turk" is justifying his name by the resistance he is putting up at the Dardangelles. The attempt to break up "The Birth of a Nation" at the Liberty Theatre did not succeed very well. A similar attempt at the Tremont Theatre in Boston succeeded somewhat better at least more. Several of the great dailies of this city, either on account of their interest in the welfare of the colored people, or from a sense of common justice and fairness, have spoken out against the vicious, picture play known as "The Birth of a Nation." Other New York papers, for reasons best known to themselves, have remained silent. It remained for "The Press" to come out and editorially commend the picture. "Birth of a Nation." We are at loss to understand the persistent attacks upon the motion picture play "The Birth of a Nation," which is an historic portrayal of that dark time in the late sixties when the Republic was in the terrible agony of a new birth. It tells in pictures the story of a vital period of our history. It illustrates scenes that were common in one of the greatest crises in the life of the Nation. It is not a cheerful tale. The Reconstruction is not a theme which any American, North or South, can dwell on with pleasure. But that is no reason why our children and children's children should be ignorant of the events of that fateful time. There is little instruction in the bright pages of history. It is only by studying the plague spots of the past brought on by the mistakes of our own forefathers that we can hope to arm ourselves with wisdom against the great problems of the future. When "The Press" declares that it is at a loss to understand the persistent attacks upon "The Birth of a Nation," it convicts itself of utter stupidity. If the writer of the article has seen the production he ought have no difficulty in understanding why the picture arouses resentment among colored people and fair-minded white people. And we say that we do not believe that any man could rise to be an editorial writer on "The Press" and be so dull of understanding as not to be able to see the cause of the attacks upon Dixon's photo-play. The writer makes himself equally as ridiculous when he says "The Birth of a Nation" is "an historic portrayal of the dark times in the late sixties." In the first place, the majority of the incidents portrayed in Dixon's play that relate to colored people never happened. For example, when did any Negro lieutenant-governor of a Southern state every try by force to make a white woman marry him? When did Negro troops, led by Northern officers, ever loot and pillage the homes of the Southern whites and maltreat and murder the occupants of those homes? But even if every incident in this picture play could be verified as a fact, still "The Birth of a Nation" could not pass as history. History is not a record of isolated facts set down to the exclusion of other counterbalancing facts of equal importance. By such a method as that anything could be proved by history. A happening or two could be taken from the life of King David, which standing alone, would make him one of the grandest scoundrels that ever lived; yet, David's life taken as a whole won the tribute that he was "a man after God's own heart." Suppose a Southern white man; or a Northern white man, for that matter, should walk into a London theatre and see a picture flashed on the screen entitled "Life in the South" or "Southern Life in the United States" or something of that kind. And suppose this picture consisted of a series of incidents portraying the wrongs committed by white against blacks. Now it would be a very easy matter to verify, such incidents, all the way from defrauding Negroes out of a few acres of land to burning them alive at the stake; but, does the editor of "The Press" think, that any white American spectator, be he Southernner or Northernner, could sit still and accept such a picture as history. And yet, such a picture would be more veracious than are those parts of "The Birth of a Nation" relating to the colored people. Now why would the American spectator be justified in presenting this supposed picture? For the reason that such a representation would be out of proportion to the history, civilization and development of the South considered as a whole; and therefore, not history. And so with "The Birth of a Nation", many hundreds of colored people are used in this production for the purpose of representing the Negro as a race, and they are pictured as the perpetrators of every kind of indignity, crime and barbarity, from showing white folks off the sidewalk, to committing robbery, murder and rape. The only thing to offset this is the portrayal of a couple of genuflecting old darkey servants known as "the faithful ones." This picture pretends to be history of the nation in general and of the Negro in particular, yet there is not one single, decent, self-respecting, industrious and intelligent Negro represented in the whole production; it fails to give the Negro any credit for the phenomenal restraint and control which he showed both during the war and Reconstruction, and absolutely ignores all progress he has made since that time; there is not in it one creditable thing attributed to the Negro as a race, still, the editor of "The Press" is at a loss to understand why we do not enjoy "The Birth of a Nation," why it arouses our resentment, why we will not accept it as history. The greatest and truest history is less concerned with incidents than it is with tendencies, with movements, with results. So far as the Negro is concerned, whatever happened during slavery or during the war or during Reconstruction is insignificant compared with the great result into which these happenings have shaped themselves. The great result is that out from slavery, out from a bloody war, out from the red passions of Reconstruction, set free naked and penniless, the dupe of knaves and the victim of oppressors, out from all this the Negro has come, rising as he came. "The Birth of a Nation" is morally wrong when it ignores this great, result, and, while it does, it has no right to be regarded as history. THE BIAS OF DIXON'S MIND. One of the most dangerous attitudes assumed by Thomas, Dixon, the author of "The Clansman—Birth of a Nation" production is that of being an interpreter of Abraham Lincoln. He sets himself up not only an authority on what the great emancipator thought and intended to do, but as his admirer. He goes ever farther, and would have people believe that he is a disciple of Lincoln, and that he is carrying out policies which the martyred president would have inaugurated had he lived. The "Globe," in the last printed of its editorials touching on Dixon's photoplay, had the following to say: The bias of Mr. Dixon's mind is not such as to make it probable that he can enter into the thoughts of the great emancipator. If he had been a contemporary of Lincoln he would have opposed Lincoln's policies, probably with abuses. We may safely surmise he would have asserted that Lincoln was wickedly seeking to break down the barriers between white man and black man that God had established. If he would not have been in sympathy with the living Lincoln it is unlikely he now correctly understands him. Dixon's pretense is absurd. Lincoln was a forward-looking man. He had faith in humanity, and love for his fellow men. Lincoln's heart-knew no such thing as hate. Dixon's eyes are fixed on what is behind him. His interest in humanity is limited to what he terms the "Anglo-Saxon race." And his heart, is full of unreasoning hate. As the "Globe" says, the bias of Dixon's mind makes it impossi- SEGREGATION IN THE ARMY Segregation under Government sanction is not yet dead. It has boiled up in a new and unexpected form in the army post at Fort Leavenworth. At the graduation exercises of the class in equitation an order was issued that all Negro enlisted men, their families and friends should occupy a part of the balcony separate from the white enlisted men, their families and friends. It is unnecessary to say that the white soldiers had the first choice of seats. This is segregation carried to an absurdity. We thought this practice was bad enough when it separated the white and colored clerks in the departments at Washington. But a department clerk may be set to work behind a screen, he may feel bitter against his government, he may abuse his chief—behind his back—and still, with all, do his work satisfactorily, still be a good clerk. This would be impossible for a soldier. A soldier, in order to shoot and be shot kt, to shed his blood, to hit down his life, needs to be sustained by ove and enthusiasm for his country, by respect and regard for his superior officers. We wonder what sort of a battle the Negro soldiers at Fort Leavenworth could have fought for their flag on the day following the segregation order. Of course, the white soldiers were given first place at these graduation exercises; if it becomes necessary for the army to go under a baptism of fire, will they then be given first place? No, as it has always been in the past, they and their officers will be glad to have the black soldiers stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Here then we have men good enough to wear the United States uniform, good enough to fight and die side by side with their white comrades, yet not good enough to sit by them at the graduation exercises of the class in equitation. It has been a good many years since the phrase "for the usual crime" has lost force. As a cause for lynching the "usual crime" has come to be almost negligible. This being the case, the promoters of synchfests have had to cast about for new crimes. Sometimes they have been hard put to find them. Murder for a while headed the list, but it was found, that not sufficient murders were committed to furish reasons for the desired number of lynchings. An enumeration of the various, deeds that are now regarded asust causes for lynching would require the making of an alphabetically arranged catalog. These "causes" run all the way from heinus offenses down to being impudent to a white man. One might think that including impidence to a white man among the "causes" for lynching would be as far as inhuman ingenuity could go, but such a one is mistaken: a despatch comes from Valdosta, Ga., which states that a Negro who had been accused of stealing some meat from the smoke-house of a white preacher was taken from jail and shot to death. One might also think that we are wrong in classing the stealing of meat from a smoke-house as a more trivial "cause" than being impudent to a white man; we resemble, such a one is mistaken. According to the ethics of professional Anglo-Saxons, a Negro in being impudent to a white man makes a denial of the white man's infinite superiority; he, in fact, implies Negro equality; and, according to professional Anglo-Saxon ethics, few things deserve to rank higher in the catalog of "causes for lynching." Whereas, to steal a ham from a smoke-house is a clear demonstration and acknowledgment of Negro inferiority. Now, looking at it from the professional Anglo-Saxon point of view, we can see why a Negro might be lynched for asserting equality, but we fail to understand why he should be lynched for demonstrating inferiority. It is clear that the Georgians who lynched the Negro who was accused of stealing meat from a smoke-house has established a new record. It would be a hopeless guess to venture to say what "cause" will next be added to the catalog of "crimes." Raleigh, N. C.—Capt. J. E. Hamilton can be named "Man of Industry," for he is owner and manager of several industries in this city. He conducts an up to date restaurant on Wilmington street, two well stocked drug stores, one on South Blount street and the other on East Hargelt street, besides his next stall in the City Marsh. He is a farmer, Spring Dale Farm, just outside the city limits. He is now planting early vegetables to supply his trade at the C. Y. Market. He has recently built a hennery and purchased some of the best breeds of chickens from which he expects to supply the market: trade with chickens and eggs. Capt.

OVER "BIRTH OF A NATION" FILM BOSTON, sedate and learned Boston, where the spirit of fair play is regarded as more real than mythical, has been invaded by the vicious photo play, "The Birth of a Nation," and its sinister presence has aroused the colored citizens to a high pitch of excitement. Last Saturday evening at the first presentation of the picture a large delegation of colored and white citizens visited the theatre where "The Birth of a Nation" is being shown and were unable to obtain admission. A small-sized riot ensued in the lobby of the playhouse and several members of the delegation were arrested for peace disturbance. Mayor Hurley, who has been looked upon as a champion of fair play, and has all along, come out publicly for equal rights for all, regardless of color, has assumed a peculiar attitude in the controversy and has unexpectedly taken sides with Dixon and the other promoters of the film. Mayor Hurley has taken the stand, it is charged, that if The Birth of a Nation" is historically true the colored citizens ought not be moved to righteous protest any more than if some other incident was historically represented on the screen. Where Mayor Hurley errs is that in the first place "The Birth of a Nation" is not historically correct, and, secondly, if it were, nothing would be gained by bringing up happenings of the past which only tend to degrade a people and incite race hatred. Why not, for the sake of history, then, does not some enterprising producer of films go back to several hundred years ago, not fifty-odd, and show how England sent her criminals to America, using this country as a dumping ground for undesirables? Why not show the prison ship which has been preserved and can be seen in New York to this day, that played such an important role in this country's history. And if, for the sake of history, we must be haunted by events of the past, none too creditable, there is much that colored Americans conversant with American history can point out for film production which, if shown on the screen, would make white Americans hang their heads in shame. It is seldom that a rich man, who has risen from obscure poverty, desires to have it extensively advertised about that he was once poor as a church mouse, nor do the members of his family, merely for the sake of history, and one is equally as sensitive about having widely advertised incidents of yesteryear in which he prominently figured, but not to his credit, even though the happenings were historically true in every particular. Usually an endeavor is made to forget the disagreeable, as the North and South are striving to do regarding the Civil War, but the dastardly attempt of such Southerners as Dixon to stir up racial animosity by going back fifty years only serves to freshen the memories of those living in the North and South of the bitter, struggle that took place between the two sections. That the colored citizens of Boston do not intend to permit the presentation of "The Birth of a Nation" in that city is evidenced by the following dispatch sent from Boston Monday: Boston, Mass., April 19.—Several thousand Negroes waited on the State house steps to-day while a delegation lodged a protest with Gov. Walsh against the movie show called "The Birth of a Nation." The Governor will ask the Legislature to pass a law to prevent the production of this show and of all plays that tend to raise race or religious prejudice in case the court decide that there is no law prohibiting exhibitions. A complaint will find that the law has been violated. Commissioner O'Mean will report to Mayor Hurley and he can stop its production; otherwise the Governor will ask for a new law. Three cheers for Governor Walsh of Michaustetts! Commenting on the historic value of The Birth of a Nation," The Outlook says in part: The difficulty with Mr. Dixon as a purveyor of history is that he is not a historian. A historian not only presents true incidents from the past, but, if he is fair-minded, he is not a historian. The incidents are representative and typical. Many of the most effective and most misleading scenes in *The Birth of a Nation* *doubly occurred some time, somewhere, in the South*. Chosen as the whole of the Reconstruction period, however, and vicarious, Mr. Dixon has just single-tracked mind," and the track leads only, through a very unpleasant country. He is a partisan, and a dangerous one. He can see questions only in broad splotches. He knows but one side of Southern history. A problem of "Aryan and African." As Mr. Dixon rightly believes and dramatically shows, the American nation was born from the travail of the civil war and the inception of the period, and therefore his photo drama, threatens no reopening of the wounds of the white North and the white South. The evil in "The Birth of a Nation" lies in the fact that the play is both a denial of the free Negro and an exalation of race war. paint in colors dark enough the shame of the Reconstruction period. To say this is not to excuse the offense of a writer who distorts this shame and labels the blurred picture—"history." Dixon, or rather the Rev. Mr. Dixon, is getting a lot of notoriety and "The Birth of a Nation" is getting columns of free advertising, but such publicity will not-redound to the credit of the promoters in the long run. This they will find out sooner or later to their-charrin. In other large Northern cities the colored citizens are preparing to resist any attempt of Dixon and his confederates to produce "The Birth of a Nation." Dr. Henry M. Minion and Dr. A. B. Jackson of Philadelphia have petitioned the State Censor to ban the picture as objectionable, and Maj. R. R. Jackson of Chicago has introduced a bill in the Illinois Legislature which will keep "The Birth of a Nation," and other photo plays that degrade and ridicule races, out of the Windy City. Let colored Americans in other cities please take notice! THEATRICAL IOTTINGS. Thomas A. Brookes, with Sliding Billy Watson Co., is at the Empire Theatre, Toledo, Ohio, with Star and Garter Theatre, Chicago, to follow. Moore & Jenkins are billed over the Orpheum time: April 19, Denver; 29, Lincoln; May 2, Sioux City; 9, Omaha. Bledseaux-Lee Players are at Lincoln Theatre, Baltimore. The Smart Set Company is at Gibson's New Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, this week. The Williams Singers will appear in Pittsburgh, Pa., April 27. Will Marion Cook will conduct an "all colored composers concert" Friday evening, April 23, in Chicago. Miller and Lyles are at Keith's Bushwick Theatre, Brooklyn. Wilson and Wilson are at Loew's Fulton Street Theatre, Brooklyn. Wilbur Sweatman is at Keith's Theatre, the Bronx. A party of musicians, including Joe Jordan and Joe Grey, sailed for London last Saturday to appear in a revue to be put on at one of the big London theatres. Karl Cook led the orchestra at the Waldorf Astoria Tuesday, April 20, when the Associated Press gave their luncheon in honor of President Woodrow Wilson. WILLARD A "FROST." Jess, Willard, the new world's heavyweight champion, did not make a big hit at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre, where he appeared last week, and instead of staying two weeks as originally intended he closed his New York engagement last Sunday evening. Somehow, the public does not regard Willard in the light of a real champion, many still believing that, the Johnson-Willard bout at Havana was fixed, with the result that large crowds do not rush to the box-office to pay for the privilege of seeing the fighter on the stage. New York City was not the only place where Willard went a "frost." One evening last week after his turn at Hammerstein's he went to White Plains, N. Y., and the New York Times tells what happened: WAITED TO SEE WILLARD. But White Plains Crowd Was So Small Jess Returned to New York. White, Plains, N. Y., April 16.—Except to see Jess Willard, the world's champion, box four rounds at the Westchester A. C. on South Lexington avenue this evening, about three hundred "sports" paid their money, but when Willard, accompanied by Tom Jones, his manager, motored up to the building and looked over the small crowd, Jess turned around and started back in the limousine for New York. Jess had been guaranteed $750, he says for his exhibition to-night, but there was not that much money in the house, and the guarantee was not turned over to him he decided not to enter the ring. The crowd sat through two or three preliminaries, but took little interest in them. When the announcement was made that Willard had refused to go on the "spurt" to the box, the money back which they did not get. Finally one by one they left the building, expressing anything but complimentary things of the world's champion. When Jack Johnson appeared at Hammerstein's Victoria after his victory over Jeffries, he was booked for two weeks, but he drew such large crowds that his engagement was prolonged. C V B A BALL A grand calico ball, old-fashioned cakewalk and star vaudievel entertainment will be given at Manhattan Casino Thursday evening, April 29, under the auspices of the Colored Vaudievel Benevokent Association for the benefit of the sick and death benefit fund of the association. Music will be furnished by the New Amsterdam Musical Association orchestra. Clef Club Notes Club ensemble rehearsals are taking well, and the building seems like a conservatory. Pianos on every floor and duos, trios, quartets and orchestras can be heard from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. Will Marion Cook left for Chicago Monday, April 19, and his studio, which occupies the entire first-floor of the club house, is in charge of Buster & Bailey, who make the following statement: "In behalf of Will Marion Cook, we are rehearsing his revue, which is to open with thirty-five people at the Theatre Alhamrah London England, on May 15. Rehearsals will continue until the revue is ready for presentation, through The Smart Set Company will pay its annual visit to New York, commencing Monday, April 26, and will make the Lafayette Theatre its stopping place for one week. "His Excellency, the President," is the name of the, the singing and dancing musical comedy, in two acts, in which a clever company of comedians, singers and dancers will disport for the THE MISSING MAN S. TUTT WHITNEY entertainment of Harlem theatregoers. entertainment of Harlem theatregoers. Many of the old favorites-will be seen in "His Excellency, the President," including Salem Tutt Whitney, J. Homer Tutt and Blanche Thompson. Out-of-town playgoers say that the production is stronger than any in which the Whitney boys have appeared. There will be no change in prices and there will be no reserved seats. A record-breaking week is being looked forward. Everybody was pleased with the bill at the Lafayette the first half of the week, for every act hit the bull's eye. The bill, as a whole, was of big time caliber. Mills and Kinky, two Harlem favorites, opened it with a rush, scoring in great fashion in their closing number. The Little Trio three-lever dancers, especially the male member, gave tone to the kindness of the president and entire Clef Club. Being colored talent, we find pleasure in assisting one another. "Sincerely, "BUSTER & BAILEY." , Ira Horrington and Irving Williams entertained for Mrs. C. L. Wrenn, West 63d street.

(By T. G. Hooka) In the great set of relay races at Penn University, Philadelphia, Thursday and Saturday, the cream of the country's college athletes will be found battling against one another with every ounce of power within them to bring supreme track honor to their respective colleges. Scattered among this host will be about twenty colored youths, representing almost as many colleges, ready to do their part. It is expected that as usual they will be the objects of close scrutiny from the time they set foot on the field till they have shown their mettle in competition, and it can truthfully be said that some of them will be scrutinized not for their color alone, but because of the enviable records made by them. The colored boys are the two Granger brothers of Dartmouth, Howard Drew, one of the greatest sprinters this country has produced, and Binga Dismond, who has created a sensation in Chicago by his stellar performances for the university of that city. This will probably be big Granger's last start in any games staged by Penn. Sport critics will size up the boy Dismond. He is the only boy since J. B. Taylor's time that has been ranked in championship class for the quarter-mile. I think we know just about what to expect from Drew—unless some awful surprises happen. Speaking about surprises, it is almost a safe bet that some new material will be uncarted, in these games. It would be a grand thing for Bowser of Syracuse if he had a chance to start in the quarter with the select field. I dare say he would spring surprised for sonic' of the fast ones. Morse in Newark Race. *Roy Morse of the Salem-Crescent A. C.* starting in the 75-yard dash at the First Infantry games at Newark, N. J. last Saturday night, came through with third place after conceding as much as sixteen feet to a select field. At Perth Amboy, N. J., the Baltimore Giants were defeated by the Perth Amboy team last Sunday 9. to 1. The score: R. H. E. Baltimore Giants: 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 -1 1 3 Perth Amboy: 5 1 0 0 0 3 0 -9 9 1 Battle—Bradley, Mitchell and Johnson; Randolph and Baer. TE THEATRE NEXT WEEK who believe in progressing, and their the bill, and their terpsichorean work was enjoyed. The Connor's Troupe, one of the best hoop-rolling acts in the business, and carrying seven people, performed many difficult feats with hoops and were vigorously applauded throughout their turn. Kelly and Cattin are two old-timers S BLANCHE THOMPSON act has been enhanced by scenery which is consistent with the atmosphere they seek to create. Their skirt continues to be funny and has numerous laughs. The biggest hit on the bill, the Bon Ray Four, were a riot at each performance. This is the best knickabout act that has ever been at the Lafayette Theatre, and the four young men sing and provoke mirth in a highly pleasing manner. The Eight Dancing Imps, with Howell and Chadwick, and assisted by six girls of nice appearance, close the bill. The feature of this act is the dancing. FIRST GAMES OF SEASON LINCOLN GIANTS OPEN SEASON The Lincoln Glants opened their season auspicious last Sunday by announcing a double-header at Olympic Field.

About 3,000 fans saw the contests, Cyclone Jae Williams, soo the team, and the South last winter, pitched part of the game against each team.

Redding flashed a brand of pitching that kept the Phillipsburg players, guessing, "only two binge being made off his doxyridone," the Troyer Gilgow showed his batting skill, rapping out two doubles in as many times at hat. Poles, Gans, Harney and Redding each made two hits. In the first game the Lincoln Stars defeated the Yonkers nine, 12 to 4. The scores: First Game.

But The Emmanuels, like—manner decent (after so many centuries), from Heaven, through the celestial sky, will be the greatest blessing the world has ever known, both bodily, and living, believes in Him changed and clothed I like His. We are to him not, but but for holy use to the deeds done in. Our day of religious worship cerial royal beings real activity will have con. The joy and pleasure which marks assigned will be something deeper; more thrilling, constant and eternal, than anything we can imagine. Upon the face of the earth, the wilderness and the solitary place shall blossom; and become us turtle as the alluvion valleys. Heathenism is given a prominent place in organized religious groups.

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, so I am with you always, even unto the end of the world" The good news that we are to teach and preach is that, that Christ the only Son of God, is the resurrection and the life of man. He or she that liveth and believeth in Him shall never die. He is man's Redeemer and ever liveth to make intercession for him. He went up as a bodily presence, but came down within and among us as a spiritual presence. We are to watch and pray, looking for his life to be received by Him, unto Himself, as kings and priests we are to reign in His prepared realm with Him. The moral conviction today is the result of the spiritual consciousness, pushing back the sensual consciousness from the mind of man, so that He might behold the immmanuel, His Lord and King, believe in, except Him, and be with Him forever, for He was the living being present from Boston also Rev.

The work shop for unemployed men conducted in the basement of St. Philip's Church for the last ten weeks by the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, was closed on Friday last. The total attendance at the shop was 12,739. There were 774 men registered at the shop, and the total expense of operating it amounted to $8,430.59, paid by the Mayor's committee on unemployment. While the shop was allowed 79 cents per day per man, the per unit cost of the shop at St. Philip's Church was 66.1 cents. This shop received the commendation of the Committee and of such visitors as Theodore Roosevelt, Judge Elbert Gary, City Charmerain Brueur, Mr. Shillady, the director of the Unemployment committee, George W. Perkins, Charles W. Anderson, Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr. and L. Hollingworth Wood. It was stated at the committee's headquarters that this shop was one of the most economically run of all of the chain of work shops and that the cleanliness in the kitchen and the maintenance of the equipment and the character of the output were exceptionally satisfactory and praiseworthy. While the other shops used machine for rolling bandages and making the surgical dressings, the officials of the league felt that it would be more beneficial to the expense of massaging machines than that the men could receive as much in wages as possible. In spite of the fact that the men used their hands only for the work, the output was remarkable. These goods were boxed and shipped to hospitals operated by or for colored nurses. The hospitals receiving contributions of surgical dressings are as follows: Lincoln Hospital, Vanderbilt Clinic, Roosevelt Hospital, S. Mary's Hospital, St. Mark's Hospital, Provident Hospital, St. Chicago; Red Cross Sanitarium, Louisville, Ky.; Richmond Hospital, Richmond, Va.; St. Agnes Hospital, Raleigh, N. C.; Dixie Hospital, Hampton, Institute, Virginia; John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, Alk; Hospital at Voorhees Industrial School, Denmark, S. C.; Charleston Institute, Savannah, Ga.; (donated, through the Savannah branch of the-league) and the Hubbard Hospital, Nashville, Teen. Of the 774 men registered at the shop there were 186 West Indies and 605 of American 'birth'. Of these men 50 per cent were voters. The staff of the shop consisted of Miss Louise R. Latimer, superintendent; Mrs. C. L. Winston, supervising Mrs. C. L. Winston, Mrs. E. C. Ammons, matron; Volunteer service was provided by the Utopia Neighborhood Club and from St. Philip's Parish. When the shop closed 250 men were employed. When the shop opened in February 10, it capacity of 350 was soon reached and men were turned away every day. Approximately $25 of the men registered at the shop have secured employment. The league has in addition to the management of the shop, been active in securing employment for colored financial transactions in financial depressions of the winter. Since January 1 more than 500 different individuals have been secured positions other than those referred to above. Fifty-two girls, between the ages of 16 and 25, are being paid $3 per week for six weeks while being taught domestic science. Other classes will be formed when these girls have completed their courses. In addition to the above the league has been instrumental in getting into the body colored sum of $124.21. This amount has been lent to these individuals with the understanding to return it to the league they will be expected to do so. During the winter season just passed the league distributed clothing among 641 people (174 women, 160 men and 107 children) largely of dresses and shoes for women and children, and hats and suits for the men. Every Tuesday at noon six gallons of soup are distributed to needy persons by the league at the rooms of the Hope Day Nursery, 33 West 133 street. IN MEMORIAM. "God's finger touched him and he slept." CROWDER, Dr. William Alexander.—To no vocation of life, with the single exception, perhaps, of the sacred ministry, he has been a physician service than that accorded the physician. To him, under God, is granted in a measure the power to hold back for a season the harvest of the Grim Destroyer, and to say "For far shalt thou go and no farther." Body, ministers to its creature comforts, wipes away the falling tear, holds our hope to the discouraged, strengthens the weak-hearted and puts life into the despairing soul. "Your very sense our guide, counsel and friend; and whether we have any claim upon his services, whether at home or abroad, by day or by night, in winter or in summer, through sunshine or through cloud, in life or in death, he is at home and every circumstance." "All things to men." Such has been the life and character of our dear brother, Dr. William Alexander Crowder, who has fallen asleep while his post of duty, Earnest, active, enthusiastic, competent, he literally gave his life to his conception of duty, therefore, be it. Resolved. That in the translation of our friend and co-worker from labor to rest, the Appointment Medical Society of the City of Petersburg has lost a valued memorial on a worthy exponent of the healing art. Resolved further. That we rejoice in the whole-some example set before us by our brother in his exemplification of the beloved physician, and while our hearts are bled, this sore visitation, we baw in humble submission to Him who doeth all things well. We direct that a copy of these resolutions be handed to the family of our deceased friend, a copy inscribed among the archives of the society, and a copy to the New York Age and the local paper. By order The Appointment Medical Society of the City of Petersburg, Va. INFORMATION WANTED If any one knowing the sacheouts of Vincent J. Peterson, age 48 years, born at Newtown, L.
