The New York Age DIXON WANTS TO DEPORT NEGROES Author of "The Clansman Declared to Boston Editor That It Could Be Done. TEACHES A NEW HISTORY Vicious Movie Intended to Teach Dixon's History of Reconstruction, and Create Departation Sentiment. WHITE MAN'S CHILD'A SLAVE Dr. Eliot of Harvard Declared That Worst Feature of the White South's Legislation, Except the Slavery Legislation, Provided that the Child of a White Man by a Black Mother be His Slave. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Boston, Mass. May 5—That Thomas Gibson, writer of books and plays dealing with the relations of the white and colored people from a rabid Southern standpoint, is desirous of having the Negroes removed from the United States was brought out by Roise Cobleigh, assistant editor of the Congregationalist, who addressed a mass meeting at Tremont Temple on Sunday and made the direct charge that Discourses real fictive in nature were "the achievement of white supremacy and the getting rid of the colored people." Mr. Coleigh said that Dixon made this statement to him and that he suggested to Dixon the difficulty of deporting 10,000,000 American citizens to Arisa, but Dixon seriously argued that it could be done. He hopes to create such public sentiment that a substantial future and that the task can be completed within a century. The declaration created a sensation. Dixon's Purpose All Wrong. It was brought out by Mr. Cobleigh in his address that Dixon had called at the editor's office for the purpose of right. He thanked Dixon for removing every doubt he had had as to the right or wrong of "The Birth of a Nation," and said that Dixon convinced him that he was all wrong. Mr. Cobleigh said in all error. He removed every doubt that I had been up to the light or wronged of the Birth of the Dixon family, what he hoped to accomplish by its inwardness, and gave great service to us in judging the play to learn the motives back of it, to learn just how much we had been wronged. Dixon came to my office for the purpose of convincing me that the play was all wrong, and that I had been wrong. In it was all wrong, a conviction strengthened by a view of the picture at that it. D. Griffith had achieved a dazzling success in telling Mr. Dixon's story in the play, and that he was sentencing the propaganda of falsehood and prejudice which Mr. Dixon had admitted he was the real purpose he had in view. Ku Klux Real Terrorists "Mr. Dixon says that he wants to teach the children of the United States his version of the history of the reconstruction period, that the Ku Klux was a chivalric army of crusaders, inspired by pure religion, and made up of the best white men of the South, organized to avenge assaults of colored men upon white women, and to protect their virtue, to protect property and personal rights, and to regain the white man's control of the废奴运动, all of which he represents had been menaced or lost in a reign of terror caused by vicious colored people, whom he would have us believe were the only kind of colored people except the ignorant and servile, who knew their place." He says that his father was a Baptist minister in North Carolina, and left the church to join the Ku Klux, remaining with it till it was disbanded; so Thomas Dixon knows what he is talking about. "But authoritative history tells me that the Ku Klux Klan were guilty of treason, that the real reign of terror was caused by the Ku Klux, and that white men who were Negroes were innocent victims." The speaker concluded with the assertion that the reign of terror, and contended that, the scenes of the chase of white women not only by the Ku Klux, who is in mutuals, shows the intent to convict the whole race, even though edu- natorialism, especially accounting Mr. Bliss scheme, a accept such a scheme, a political organization, any race in our mixed population, where will it end?" Creates a Bansation. The statement created a sensation and the speakers, following Mr. Colebigh, especially Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, and judge Kulminstein of the Juvenile Court, devoted considerable attention to it. Judge Kulminstein declared that he was surprised to learn the real motive of the action. That while property rights quintet to be respected, every day men were forward in the attempt to use property for improper purposes and then manhunks that property rights are unrestrained by right. He declared that the effect of the play upon the holder is that of horror, as well as indulgence to the Negro, and urged for laws which are inspirations to harden fury should be prohibited. the lower dwelt at length upon the street of the play upon the white people, only the rising generation. After that the inscriptionation of the birth of a nation," he declared that it was, a dangerous, false doctrine taught by the play that the Klu Klux Klan was a righteous and necessary society for the defense of Southern white men. "There is a mischievous doctrine said by Dr. Eliot. "Am this, that lawlessness was justified as necessary." Dr. Eliot commented: *at length* on the real motive of the production, as revealed by Mr. Cobleigh's talk with the author, pronouncing it "inconceivable, monstrous, that the whole colored race should be removed to Africa, or some other unoccupied or harboured country. They won't want to go. They'll have to be abominated by force of arms, that be abominated by force of arms, that be perpetrated by white people on colored. It is represented that they might find a paradise in 'liberia, and that this is a white man's country, better off without the presence of colored people." Dr. Eliot took up the matter of the Negroes' experience in this country during and since slavery. Said he: "Now let it recall how did the colored people come here? Who brought them here? How did they furnish here? Whose children are many of them today? The very worst feature of southern legislation, except the slavery, was the fact that the child of a white man by a black mother should be his slave. The American people will never think of such an experience in supporting a white race beyond the seas." The progress they have made in the past 50 years is one of the most stupendous civilization. My interest is not at all as to the effect of the play on the Negro race; for it has proved able to take care of the people, to defend them, as to the effects of the teachings of history and the perversions of the bleeds of liberty and justice. Here I am, and I am here. It is quite true there is a growing misreference, especially among young people, to the questions of liberty and justice, which not this play call attention to this fact." Dr. Eliot suggested that it gave him the power to write the inscription on the Shaw measurement because it testified to what the colonists believed. American people in the cause of liberty. WASHINGTON CHURCH REFUSES CONFERENCE Served to New York, NY BALTIMORE, Md., May 5—The ninety-eighth annual session of the Baltimore Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church came to an end with the announcement of the appointments for the ensuing year by Bishop L. J. Coppin at Waters Church last night. Great surprise was occasioned by the release of the appointments of the Metropolitan Church, Washington, declining to entertain the next session of the conference. The reason given was that the congregation would be unable to entertain the conference, as it contemplated spending several, thousand dollars in improving the church. Dr. B. F. Watson criticized the action of the church, as did the Rev. A. L. Gaines, and that the弯弯 would not be saddled on the congregation. The motion of Saturday by which the church was chosen, was reconsidered, however, and Bethel Church, this city, selected. LARGE SUM AWARDED A. M.

May 5-Another pigarus "baby-saving" campaign is being planned for the summer months. Nine hundred and fifty-two Negro babies under the age of two years died in this city last summer. A great many of these deaths occurred in the month of August. The importance of plenty of boiled water is urged as essential to the baby's diet. The daily bath, light clothing, plenty of sleep in a cool room is necessary to save the life of the baby in the summer months.

AN UPLIFT Tells Federal Commission Co. has Done Most to Uplift Negro Men TIPS REALLY TO COMPANY Robert Lincoln, Former President of Pullman Co., Testifies that Salary Painted Porters is Too Low, and if Law Painted Tips Salaries Would be Raised Immediately by the Company. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Washington, D. C., May 5—Robert T. Lincoln, son of the late President Abraham Lincoln, and a controlling factor in the destinies of the Pullman Company, was a witness before the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations. Frank P. Walsh of Missouri, chairman, which opened a three weeks' hearing, on Monday in this city. Mr. Lincoln declared that the Pullman Company has been "the one large element outside of the learned professions that has done more to uplift colored men." Mr. Lincoln was president of the company from 1897 to 1911, while ill health necessitated his retirement, and he became chairman of the board of directors, which position the now holds. He declared that the matter of tips, to Pullman porters was an old custom, but that it was not a nice arrangement and was very annoying. He acknowledged also that tips to porters were really tips to the company stockings. He said that if tips to porters were prohibited by law the company, without two minutes' discussion of the matter, would immediately raise salaries. He said that salaries to conductors and porters were too low, that increases should be granted, and that it was a violation of the laws by the attention of the executive board of the Pullman Company at once. Refers to Porters as "Goons." Commissioner Garretton, in questioning Mr. Lincoln, had to interject an insult to the vast body of worthy Negro men who serve as Pullman porters by referring to them as "coons" and to his reference no exception was taken by the great emancipator's son, or any other member of the corporation of the company. This came when Pullman asked Mr. Lincoln, "Then if tips are to be paid you believe in the corporation getting them instead of the 'coon'" to which the reply was given, "That is what it amounts to." On the origin of the tipping system Mr. Lincoln said that it was existing when he became president of the company, and was a condition found by M. Pullman when he entered the business. When Chairman Walsh brought up the subject of tips Mr. Lincoln sat straight up in his chair. "That situation annoys me very much," said Mr. Lincoln. Pullman habit always been its widespread in the United States as at present," asked Chairman Walsh. "Have no doubt of it," replied Mr. Lincoln. "Your porters get $2.50 a month. They getting tips from the public!" was asked. "Might I put it this way?" suggested the man. "We know they get tips. Would you give them to retain his self-respect living under a system where he is forced to get gratuities for his morals corrupted by such a system." Not a Question of Morals. "I do not think it is a question of moms," replied Mr. Lincoln. "They have to be educated. They get such tips as a matter of fact for performing services not strictly in the colored race is subject to great limitations in getting employment. I believe that outside of the earned professions, there are many other jobs that one large element that has done more to uplift colored men has been afforded with employment by the Pullman Company." "Do you think this service has up- lifted them?" "The tips are paid without regard to the amount of wages," replied Mr. Lincoln. "If you increase their wages and they continue to get tips as at present they would get much more money. You can understand how that might not be desirable." Mr. Lincoln conceded, in reply to questions, that the wages of Fullman conductors and porters were too low; that increases should be granted, and that it was a matter that would have the attention of the executive board of the Fullman Company at once. When told of the case of a porter who fertilized that one month he had made $25,000 which except $25,500 was paid by the traveling public, Mr. Lincoln explained with a show of embarrassment: "I do not think the arrangement is nice at all." It is an old custom. Tipping Never Prohibited. Mr. Lincoln added that the company had never attempted to prohibit the acceptance of the tip. He suggested the belief that if tips were prohibited the porters "would be very much troubled." Mr. Lincoln said he had never heard of any dissatisfaction on the part of the travelling public to the payment of such grillities. It was suggested to Mr. Lincoln that most social clubs prohibited the payment of tips. He said, "But I find that in all the clubs I belong to I am inflicted once a year to contribute to the Christmas fund of the employees." "Are not the stockholders of the Fullman Company the real tip takers?" asked Comptroller Garretson. "Really that is so," answered Mr. Lincoln, smiling. "They are to be paid you Believe in the corporation getting them instead of the 'coon?' observed Mr. Garrett." "That is what it amounts to," replied Mr. Lincoln. The witness added in answer to another question that, if it would be prohibited by law, it would be increased immediately, it would not be two minutes, discussion over it, he said. MORRIS.BROWN UNIV AND SENIENT SOCIAL SERVICES ATLANTA, Ga., May 4.—The recent letters published in THE AGE from the Rev. P. G. Simmons of the A. M. E. Church at Forsyth, Ga., have aroused much interest among the rank and file of the A. M. E. Church, who have had no other opportunity to learn of conditions among the high officials of the church. The criticisms published of the work of Bishop J. S. Flipper and the Rev. W. A. Fountain, president of Morris Brown University, were especially illuminating. Some mimical Feeling toward Simmons was aroused however, by a reference he made to an unfortunate hapiness he had experienced only by himself. Many who are in sympathy with Simmons feel that it would have been in much better taste no, have dragged in an incident meant and unconnected with the case. Other than that, the people are glad the controversy has arisen, because of the opportunity to learn of conditions which are ordinarily covered up and which are regularly correlated to the effect that a compromise with Simmons is desired in order to prevent further disclosures, but when asked about it Simmons said that he was giving the cold facts as they came to him, and that he cannot be stopped. Instead of discontinuing, the dissatisfied minister has invited another letter, touching further upon conditions at Morris Brown University under Foulmaint's administration, and the report that the college will close its 1915-16 session in April, 1916. To Close School for Promotion of Campaign. According to the report as referred to by Summons, the bishop is said to be intending to ask the trustees to allow the school to close that President Fountain may have more time in which to conduct the campaign for the bishop, the bishop has been celebrated in the spring of 1916 has also been postponed until after the general conference, by suggestion of the bishop, it is reported, and it is thought this will be the advantage of Fountain's candidacy. The following is a part of the public from the public from the Rev. P. G. Summons. "At the public well knows, the Rev. W. A. mountain is a candidate for the bishopic, so I desire to inform the public something about his administration. If these are not facts let him set himself straight before the people. Now I am told that the Morris Brown College will close in April 1916. What tor? so I will look at his candidacy. I look after his candidacy. One thousand students, as he says, are to be sent none to accommodate one man. In other words, the interest of the school and the education of the children are to be made secondary to Fountain's candidacy. That the Bishop is going to ask the Trust allow the school to close. Of course, they will grant it. Golden Jubilee Postponed, Also. "Now they have put off the Golden Jubilee that was to have been in the Spring of 1916. The Bishop, suggested it to be put off until the endowment of 1910; that will be after the general conference. This rally will be for the new bishop. Of course, we have been returning Bishop for years, but, friends, we have been asking the law for the bishop why not be better for the pastors? Why spend thousands of dollars every four years and then not regard the law? "It would seem that Georgia African Methodism is being run by the school for the purpose of advertising the president, as he gets more publicity than two girls were taken March 6, I am told, two girls were taken March 6, in harmony with decency and carried back to the school by the police authorities. That happened while the president was in Wilmington, N. C., looking after his political fences. He continues-as we have said before-that we should give a vice-president because he has not had one since Dr. Drv left. "President Fountain is reported to have told someone in Kansas that whoever attacked Bishop Conner attacked him. He is also alleged to have told several persons that he would dictate the election of delegates in Georgia. He is a power in Georgia, is he? There might be a man here and there to slip in, but he would control most of the delegates. He has Georgia in his vest pocket. "Will let you hear more from me as things develop in Georgia. "P. G.

WILSON Negro Soldiers are Paid Deserved Tri- bute by Army Head for Splendid Con- duct and Efficient Service in Enforcing United States Neutrality Laws on Mexican Border. Notwithstanding that the Negro soldiers in the United States army are frequently forced to suffer unjust treat- ment because of color, not only from citizens but from army officers as well, their record in the service is of such such order that occasionally recognition comes to them as a reward for meritorious service. The 9th and 10th cavalry regiments have, for a long while, been staffed in the Mexican border in the point of physical contol of the hardest in point of physical contol, and of the most exacting in the way of preserving and enforcing the neutrality laws. The war is located at Douglass, Arizona, and the 16th is at Nogales and Port Huenche. In performing the duties attaching to these stations it has frequently occurred that Mexicans across the border, deliberately in manner cases, it is believed, have shot members of the Negro regiments, several being killed. To have them involved probably have involved the United States with Mexico, probably brining about a state of war between the two countries. President Wilson Compliments Troopers. Because of the splendid record made by the men of these two regiments President Wilson directed the Secretary of War to issue orders commending the Negro troopers. The following is a copy of the war salute issued by the secretary of war, the commanding officers of the 9th and 10th regiments: Dear Sir: By registration of the President, I take great pleasure in expressing to the officers and enlisted men of the 9th Cavalry his appreciation of their splendid conduct and efficient service in the enforcement of the United States neutrality law, issued November, December and January, Inst. Very respectfully, (Signed.) LINDLEY M. GARRISON, Secretary of War. A special order was issued by Col John F. Guilfoyle, commanding the 9th Cavalry, directing that a copy of this letter be given to each officer and trooper actually present at Naco, that it might be filed with their efficiency records.

The American selling rights are contracted to a single selling company which is obligated to dispose of 150 hoods a month. Mr. Morgan is the owner of the building used as the head-quartering of the company and manufacturing factory. The hoods are made by skilled workers only, nine being employed at this time.

He was Collector of the Tax Law went into effect, and later when the War Tax-Laws went into effect. He collected more money and sold more stamps than any officer in the United States. He worked with great persistence between the volume of business which he transacted and that when other Collectors transacted.

There was no loss in revenue to the government and his bills were made with great promptness.

Institutions of Education in Massachusetts Open Doors to Colored Man But Only A Few Profit by the advantage Oklahoma Man Who Attended New England School Writes About Educational and Civic Advantages, but Says the South Offers, Greater Opportunities. The letter which follows has been sent to Tite Age for publication by Clarance A. Guillot, 322 North Frankfort street, Tulsa, Oklahoma, a graduate of Fisk University, who afterwards went to New England for training. It will be heaped by those who would like to see New England through the eyes of a young colored man who went from the South to Boston for his education. The letter: To the Editor of The Age: Naturally when young colored men want higher training they revert to the advantages of Boston in school with which they in the years of propping learned to associate culture and education. Conscious as they are of the advantages to be won from attendance, they recall the institutions of what they will receive from contact with their own people is no less great. They recall those of their own people as the most favored of the monarch, as the most favored of an unfavored race. In Boston they are unhampered and un embarrassed by traditions and customs that sprang up from their own culture. Here they can enter into the heritage of national ideals; here the illiteracy of learning, not to any particular class or group, but to the development of all citizens. Here still remains a zealous and as patient in the cause as they were during the years of slavery. Conception of Privileges. The Negroes attend mixed schools and received impartial and efficient instruction. The churches are open to all, the religion, who wish to listen to the strains of spiritual music. In this Athens of the West every one has access to the lecture halls where he can hear live music, the responsibility is quickened, and where he is shown his duty to help shape the destiny of his state and country. The museums of natural history, their purpose and opportunities for study and for the broadening of the mind: the art museums with their paintings and sculptures are of great value morally and culturally. Here with its open doors is Harvard University, the oldest institution of learning in America, on whose faculty are some of the ablest minds of the world. The aim of this institution is an inspiration to higher and nobler efforts, for they treat all students as men-responsible to the same ideals, answerable to the same laws, moved by the same values, quickened and enriched by the same blessings which are in force wherever the thought of God has a practical reason and conscience a practical and exhaustible possibilities, it is no wonder that the Southern Negro concedes that his more favored brothers in this country must be deeply sensible of the obligation to these privileges resting upon them. That the Southern Negro finds that the Northern contact has been fruitful of good to his people is a truth that cannot be denied. The intelligence have quickened his nature and amusement him more alert in speech and manner. The severity of the climate and the keen spirit of competition have caused him to realize the significance of the old adage "A dollar saved is a dollar lost." His lines is well marked; his home has modern conveniences and the number of these homes is rapidly increasing—a fact which testifies very cloquely to the Negro's thrift and economy. To the Negro's journey on the road to progress cannot but be admitted by the most passimile on the Negro question in the North. Negro Does Not Recognize Responsibility. But notwithstanding this broad, though imperfect development the question naturally arises as to whether the Xero has recognized his responsibility whether he is making the most of his opportunities. Deeply conscious of and sympathetic with his economic difference of spirit, one cannot after a survey of the statistics of the universities, colleges, and libraries and an ocular study combined with the testimony of at least nine museums and lecture halls, but answer the question negatively. Let one examine the statistics for the scholastic year of 1811 and 1912 of Xero, and compare them with those we will find that there were in Harvard University sixteen colored men, restorated from Southern and Western colleges, except one from New York, another from Jersey, Boston University and thirteen colored students. New England contributed three, to that number. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology had no colored students in any of its departments. Tuft College had two colored students, one belonging to Leadford, the other in Cambridge; there were two in the medical and dental schools—three from the south two from the east. of three distinctive features—a ball, a banquet and a visit to the rooms of the club. This organization merits much commendation for the superior quality and tone of this evening of pleasure. The members are as follows: Dr. L. E. McCauley, president; Dr. M. T. Pope, vice president; Dr. W. P. Colomaz, treasurer. The Age can be had for 12½ cents per month by addressing R. H. Jones, 115 4½ street southwest. By a majority vote, the trustees of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church refused to intertain the conference next year, owing to expensive repairs to be made on the church. At the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion HQW TO BE BEAUTIFUL BY USING WALKER'S Toilet and Hair Preparations It is necessary to have clear smooth skin as well as hair to be beautiful. THE HOUSE of QUALITY Acknowledged the Leading House of the Hair Goods Trade. One might legitimately ask why this condition obtains here among the Negroes? Is it because he is discriminated against in the schools and public places? Is it lack of money to enter college? Is it lack of inclination? The first proposition is groundless and inconsistent in that it is anything that makes Boston a desirable place for the colored people, in their opinion at least, if there is anything here of which they are proud, it is the lack of discrimination in the public places where they receive courthouse and impartial treatment. The second suggestion is equally fallacious in that four-fifths of the Negro students in the above named schools are self supporting. One is the school that disregards the these disparaging conditions exist because of lack of inclination on the part of the Negroes. On the third page of a small hand book, presented to the students annually by the Phillips Brooks House Association of Harvard, are a few words of greeting by President Lowell to the freshmen, in which he says in part, "The opportunities are limited only by your capacity to take advantage of the opportunities we have to explain the situation here. Manifold opportunities are offered to all classes and groups, but those, be they individuals or whole groups—who have not the inclination to take advantage of them, find that their opportunities are very limited. One does not enter into the heritage of a wider culture and training simply by virtue of environment, be he her, or noble manuments, or venerable ruins, or paintings, or music, or books, or contact with life, things presented to us educate us only inasmuch as we react upon them. Lack of Race Solidarity Again the Southern Negro finds that lack of race solidarity among his New England brothers is another hindrance to a more definite development. Many of the race, who are farseeing, are constantly working to bring about unity. The white friends of the Negro, those who share the same beliefs, realize the gravity of this non-co-operation and by continued effort try to rouse them to the fact that permanent progressiveness is found where the social aggregate is characterized by cohesion among its part and that the group and not the individual must become the unit, in order that it gain of profit to the species and the race. At this stage of development of the race co-operation cannot be too strongly emphasized and, when the full-import of that, truth is learned the race here will find itself growing in wisdom and in strength; it will promote that cohesion and which are essential and indispensable to the highest development of a people. It is often said that because Massachusetts in the past made possible jobs and positions for the Negro he expects from her by virtue of his racial identity more than she is giving. That indeed is a gravely mistake. In a commonwealth like Massachusetts where freedom is not a mockery, the fact that one belongs to a certain race or group does not entitle him to greater consideration in the way of situations and some to place upon the market, if they measure up to the standard of other wars but are refused then it is time to protest but not till then. The writer once heard a floston minister, in conversation, complain because he could not exchange pulpits with his white brother ministers. In the first place—as he was shown by the man with whom he spoke—he had not tried; in the second place his standard intellectually would not have warranted an exchange of pulpits with any minister, regardless of nationality with an unmarried man. The paring conclusion was erroneous is proved by the fact that the two or three Negro ministers who have something to offer, exchange pulpits with their white brother ministers. The South Offers Opportunities But if education and training do not open to the Negro in Massachusetts desirable positions, shall he in despair exclaim "What is the use?" Shall he content himself because of mal-adjustment in one place with being a hewer of wood and a drawer of water? Why not go to the South where the fields are ripe with harvest; a harvest of thousands of untutored souls—truly in need of fortune and conscientious men and women are needed. It was to help those less fortunate souls Alistair Boulder T. Washington went to the woods of Alabama; it was here that he had the prophetic vision of industrial training for his people—a vision that is no longer a theory, an experiment, but crystallized reality which has done more to help solve the Negro problem than any other agency or theory since the dawn of industrial training. Negro's emancipation it was necessary that he should be led out of the cave of darkness by the guidance of the faithful few of the stronger race, but now it becomes the duty of those whose eyes are accustomed to the light to go down to those who see but the shadows of objects upon the wall those whose knowledge is of shadows only, from whom the realities are ever hidden. The Negro and the Negro alone can do this work and if position was sympathetically done will leave the whole hump and help to hasten the day when all men will be lovers and every prejudice will be dissolved in the universal sunshine. The writer does not speak as a persuisit, but rather as one looking on the dark side of a shield; as one interested in the welfare of his people North and South. He has seen the Negro, North and South, and has come to the conclusion that all things considered, the South offers better opportunities to the colored man; he is not unmindful of the prejudices and the disadvantages that obtain here, but the North is in itself turning his disadvantages into advantages; he is laying a broad foundation for culture, for education both of the mind and hand for the profession and for citizenship. (Signed) CLARANCE A. GUILLOT. Tulsa, Oklahoma. Raleigh. Club Celebrates First Anni versary. Raleigh, N. C.; May 4. — The first anniversary of the Citizen's Club of Raleigh, N. C.; was celebrated Friday evening, April 30, 1916, in a unique and elaborate manner in the vitamin's building. The citrusman consigned of three distinctive features—a ball, a banquet and a visit to the rooms of the club. This organization merits much commendation for the superior quality and tone of this evening of presentation. Dr. J. L. McCauley, president; Dr. M. T. Pope, vice president; Dr. W. P.

The dance program was carried out at Odd Fellows' Hall, which was most artistically decorated with the club colors, green and white. This together with the gorgeous costumes of those in attendance, the profusion of flowers under the brilliance of the lights, made most radiant scene. The music was also given and the guests seemed excited to give each particular strain a moment all its own. During the course of the evening Mrs. A. S. Hunter, of Durham, accompanied by Mrs. M. L. Bass, of Frederickburg, entertained with her full rich voice two beautifully rendered solos, with the feature closet "Cliffs" (the way to Tippery), which led to the Citizen's Club rooms about a half block away; this was a novel surprise and the guests were delighted to find it so completely and tastefully furnished. Here was a scene, of excited mournment as the laurel wreaths were laid on the club fashion, with cues and bails. The guests required from the club room to the banquet hall below where a most sumptuous repusit awaited them. Just one glance was sufficient to apprise them that neither men nor money had been spared to make their climaxing feature one to be remembered.

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.

A. building committee, in selecting a site in Harlem for $x$ the Colored Mens' Branch, will not make the mistake so often made by white committees of feeling that any place is good enough for colored people. Nothing will do more to chill the enthusiasm and kill the interest of colored people in this work than to put the new building in an undesirable location. We understand that there is objection to the site which is unanimously favored by the colored committee, on the ground that it is too near Seventh avenue. The members of the colored committee are all men of intelligence and standing, who have the interest of the work at heart; they know intimately the needs, the desires and aspirations of the Negro community, and they know also what will be satisfactory; for these reasons they are better judges of the suitability of a site than the white committee could possibly be. No site within the colored radius of Harlem can be too good or too prominent. The new building should be a source of pride and inspiration; upon this the future growth and success of the work will depend. A Y. M. C. A. differs from a mission. No location can be too undesirable for a mission; it goes down to the people. A Y. M. C. A. should be as a light set upon a hill to draw men up to it. This the committee had in mind when it made its recommendation. The Age takes this occasion to impress again on those who subscribed to the fund to keep faith, and to pay their pledges, no matter how small their payments may be. A SLANDER ON NEW YORK HOME LIFE. Our Harlem contemporary, The New York News, last week reproduced with its apparent endorsement a letter which had been printed in the Evening Mail, and which contained some slanderous remarks concerning, home life among colored people in New York City. These remarks were not only a slur upon the 200 respectable and intelligent colored people who took part in the concert referred to, but a gratuitous insult to colored New Yorkers in general, who were in no way connected with this concert. We are surprised at a Negro newspaper reproducing that sort of matter without making some adverse comment. BILLY SUNDAY speaks out emphatically, acrobatically and ungrammatically against almost every wrong in the country—except race prejudice. If he wants to show that he is a real brave man, not afraid to jackie anything, and do some good where it is most needed, let him speak out against race prejudice. A dispatch from Vera Cruz states that preparations are under way for ceremonies to commemorate the killing of the Americans who were slain in the taking of that city a year ago. Defenders, of Vera Cruz are to be presented with medals inscribed as follows: On one side, "Praise to the Hero of April 21, 1914," and on the other side, "He fought the Invader of April 21, 1914." This is a very different thing from the salute to the flag, which is still due the United States Government.

No such expected. it to introduce these views, if it has been in a trap. A trap, as we said, into whichoton authorities will be too wise to walk. Word comes to us indirectly that the producers of "The Birth of a Nation" are showing their kindly feelings toward the Negro by offering to introduce into the first part of the picture some views of Hampton Institute. If this is true, the Dixon-Griffith combination is laying a trap in which, we are quite sure, the Hampton people will be too wise to walk. If there was ever a case for the application of the old saw, "Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts," this is one. No good will toward the Negro need be expected or hoped for from Tom Dixon and his associates. There is absolutely nothing in their hearts but blind hatred for the race; and any protestation to the contrary is based on some hidden motive. This "The Birth of a Nation" gang is evidently feeling the attacks made on their hell-inspired production; but it is not for Hampton to save them. If the picture can be killed, let it die, from first scene to last; for there isn't enough, good in it to morit save any part. The whole representation was conceived only in hatred for the North and contempt for the Negro; so let it die! Kill it! The final effect of introducing views of Hampton Institute into the first part of the "Birth of a Nation" would be to have spectators feel at the end of the play that education for Negroes is a failure. In doing this the producers would obtain the powerful endorsement of Hampton and thereby disarm criticism and repel attack, and still not change the main lessons taught by the play. It is inconceivable that the Dixon-Griffith people after spending thousands of dollars to produce a picture whose sole purpose is to convince the North that it made a mistake in fighting to free the slaves, and to convince the nation that it must "keep the nigger down," it is inconceivable, we say, that these people would consider introducing into their picture views from a colored school in such a manner and to such an extent as to change the whole play into a propaganda of glorious uplift for the Negro. No such change of heart can be expected. The offer to introduce these views, if it has been made, is nothing more than a trap. A trap, as we said, into which Dr. Frissell and the Hampton authorities will be too wise to walk. AN-OPEN AIR LECTURE COURSE. peasant weather comes on the lecturers who in subjects of varied and vital interests, audiences around them.

Colored people are, in a general way, interested in what these lecturers talk about, but only in a general way. It is regrettable that we are not more deeply interested. But since for various reasons—some good and most of them bad—we, a race, are not interested in sociology or economics or eugenics or even woman suffrage, would it not be a good idea to establish in Harlem an open air lecture course upon subjects in which we are vitally interested. The open air lecture course has grown to be a great institution. It is university extension carried to the farthest point. On a hot summer evening when the mere thought of being indoors is torture, men will gather around an open air speaker and listen for an hour or more to an informative talk on some topic of the day. The majority of these men would never think of going to a lecture, but they will listen when the lecture is brought to them. There are a great many things that the colored people of New York should be taught and told, things they do not hear either at school or in church. If the proper sort of open air lecture course could be established in Harlem these things could be brought to their attention and they would listen to them. There is one colored speaker who, if he could be secured, would give a series of lectures that would be more than equivalent to a year at college, and of incalculable benefit to the community. If the public spirited colored men of Manhattan wish to do something of great practical value at a relatively small cost, let them take steps to establish in Harlem an open air lecture course for the summer upon subjects of importance and interest to colored people as a race. We should be glad to receive suggestions from our readers. COMMENT HERE AND THERE. The Farrar was in Atlanta last-week and put ask, the man convicted of the murder of Farrar to the tower of the prison, Miss Farrar absolutely impossible to doubt him. If you were you would not notice him. He is not gifted at mentally he is a giant. When he starts talking to he, and no matter how much you were opposed to were confident of his guilt you are at once converse ar is a member of the Metropolitan Open and a beautiful woman, but we know of no makes her an expert in criminology. How Geraldine Farrar was in Atlanta last week and paid a visit to Leo M. Frank, the man convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan. After her visit to the tower of the prison, Miss Farrar said: "It is absolutely impossible to doubt him. If you were to see him in a crowd you would not notice him. He is not gifted with physical strength, but mentally he is a giant. When he starts talking you believe in him at once, and no matter how much you were opposed to him and how firmly you were confident of his guilt you are at once converted. Miss Farrar is a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company, a sweet singer and a beautiful woman, but we know of no qualification she has that makes her an expert in criminology. How was it possible for Miss Farrar in just one flash of her glorious glance to find out what all the courts of Georgia didn't discover through many months of trial? Miss Farrar's words are like her songs, melodious, but they carry neither authority or conviction. If Frank exercised the strong psychic influence which she attributes to him, no jury in the world could have brought in a verdict of guilty. One of the most curious outcomes of the efforts of the so-called hyphenated Americans in the interest of Germany is the suit brought by General Samuel Pearson against the Allis-Chalmers Company to restrain that, concern from manufacturing arms and munitions of war for shipment to the Allies. General Pearson sets up that through the sale of arms to the Allies certain properties and holdings of his in Germany are being damaged. He goes on to say: "We are not making our case under the neutrality laws, but under the common law, making it a crime to be an accessory before the fact to the commission of murder. There is justification for the slaying of soldiers by hostile armies, but none for the assisting of such murder by neutrals." It is hardly possible that the case will amount to anything, as no state or Federal court would be likely to claim jurisdiction in such a matter. However, a new and somewhat astounding thought is presented; that is, the guilt of a neutral manufacturer and shipper of arms as an accessory before the fact to the commission of murder. The legal right of the United States and every other neutral nation to sell arms to the belligerents is unquestioned; that right is firmly sanctioned by international law. The expediency of our selling arms and ammunition cannot with reason be denied. It is clear that any established rule forbidding neutrals to sell arms to belligerent nations would put a premium upon militarism. By such a rule, those nations most peaceful and least prepared, for war would always be at a great disadvantage. A rule of this kind would work very harshly against the United States in a war with any great power. Notwithstanding the country is not so sure that it has the moral right to manufacture and ship implements that add to the terrible devastation and havoc being wrought in Europe, and to make money out of the business. Somehow, the national conscience is not entirely at ease on this point. It is not an easy matter to surprise New York, but something like that was accomplished the other day when Philip T. White, a high-salaried and trusted employee of the Masury Paint Company, confessed that he engineered the mysterious hold-up of the firm's pay-roll. Here was a man holding a $10,000 a year position who planned and executed the hold-up of his own firm's messenger coming from the bank with the payroll for the week, and got away with it. Jesse James never conceived anything more cynically develish. White's first success brought about his downfall. He had penniless still more daring. Finally suspicion rested upon his actions and he was arrested. When arrested, he confessed. White claimed that Broadway—with its concomitants, women, wine and song—was the cause of all his trouble. This confession brought forth the following, from that acrobatic exponent of sulphurous theology, the Rev. Billy Sunday: "If I were the judge, that very confession would cause me to cut his sentence right in two. I adduce the manliness of the man in the victory he achieved over sin and self in his heroic struggle through the dark night before his confession in court. "Tragedies, like this serve my arm anew and strengthen my heart afresh to strike more staggering illows at the hellish, infamous, God-forsaken, crime-producing liquor traffic." This outburst of sentimentality dogs not closely conform with the Sunday philosophy of hell fire and eternal damnation. And why should Billy be so easy on a sinner, when he declares that God will get great satisfaction out of having such individuals toasted on a spit for a few million years? We fail to see where White deserves this sort of sympathy. He does not belong to that group of human rats and wolves known as the underworld; that sediment of civilization which feels that it has a right to take from those on top. White-was the trusted and well-paid employee of the firm, that he robbed. He had no excuse. His confession strikes as a cry-baby act. He should have been handed a copy of the song entitled "Don't blame it on Broadway." But we want to say a word direct to Billy,—if you are going to "nerve your arm anew and strengthen your heart afresh," why not be a good sport and pick out a real antagonist? It requires no newly nerved arm or freshly strengthened heart to tackle poor old Rum. He is so hard beset in these days that there are none too timid or too weak to take a crack at him. Billy, suppose you leave poor old Rum to Bryan and the W. C. T. U., and you go up against something that most of the other fellows are afraid of. Suppose you swing a few of those "staggering blows" at the Fomenting of Race Prejudice; at Lynching and the various other wrongs in this country growing out of Race Hatred. "The Birth of a Nation" is right before you and would serve to begin on: EXPLANATION. Regarding our article last week, "The Art of Living," some of our readers want to know why the Frenchman asked the American the question, "Why did we have to take the train to get here?" if he expected to walk. Our answer is that the printer should have made the Frenchman ask, "Why did we have to take three trains to get here?" NEEDS OF THE COLORED SCHOOL CHILDREN WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY In the meeting of the Public School Education Association held last week many helpful suggestions were made regarding the welfare of colored children in the public schools of the city. We are glad to see that Principal Theobald of Public School No. 89, in Harlem, is a man in sympathy with his colored pupils. No. 89 is a school of 2,100 pupils, of which 1,600 are colored. In the meeting Mr. Theobald plead for a recreation ground and one-cent lunches. Both of these are pressing needs for the children of the community. But Mr. Theobald was out of line when, in disagreeing with a suggestion in the report that more arithmetic be taught colored pupils, he said, "More physical exercise, music singing, or manual training would be a good thing, but more arithmetic would be giving the pupils a double dose of something they did not like." The subjects named by Mr. Theobald as suitable are all right as far as they go, but colored children can't compete for a living in New York on a knowledge of music, singing or even manual training such as they get in public schools; they need arithmetic; if they don't like it, so much the more reason to give it to them. The colored children in Harlem require and should have the same courses of study given to all other children in New York, and it will be found that they can master them in about the same average as the other pupils. Colored students do it at Harvard and Yale, and there is no reason that they can't do it at Public School No. 89. In view of the special interest being taken in the school children in the public schools, parents should do all in their power to cooperate with teachers and school authorities in bringing about desired results. A great deal can be done at home in encouraging studiousness, obedience and politeness. The city is shocked by another terrible "ripper" case. This time a little boy five years old. The crime was committed very near where the little Cohn girl was murdered a few weeks ago. We take this occasion to repeat that the effort to brand the Negro as a depraved brute loses force in the face of such crimes as are committed by white degenerates. The torpeding of the American steamer Gullight constitutes the most serious outcome of the war which the Government has yet had to confront. It is fraught with such danger that even the most radical journals are reserved in their discussion of it. It is a clear demonstration of the fact that however peace-loving we may be there is a possibility of our being dragged into this world war whether we will or no. Is it not a warning against the policy of non-preparation? ANOTHER "RIPPER" THE GULFLIGHT. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Simonis. Apologizes for Indiscreet Daughter. To the Seller of the Ace. I wrote some time ago concerning Bishop J. S. Flipper, telling of our relations and how I stood by him. For him to take his episcopal power and most likely give the an appointment from which I can't get a decent living was more than I could stand, So I in speaking about him I became uped and drew his only daughter into the discussion. This is I am heartily sorry for her tortuosite to the Bishop and the Church. I felt grieved and feel so yet. I do not feel in my heart as I should toward, my brother and bishop. He was a man and I see him, but we do not speak. This is not nice for the bishop and one of his pastors, but God loves honesty. Yours respectfully. (Signed) P. G. SIMMONS. Pastor E. Church.

By invitation of H. R. Hobert, teacher in farm gardening in the public graded school, the writer called at the Garfield School building last Wednesday and was shown through the different plots now grown. The writer was pleased with what he saw growing Irish potatoes, sweet potato, onion, carrots, radishes, spinach, lettuce and many other vegetables. Prof. J. and many students in the field were hard at work, tending the tender plants with hoes, rakes, several kinds of new improved hand ploughs. The class was being held in a plan different kinds of seeds and how they were grown. The indication is that we are going to have plenty of vegetables for home consumption in households of poor way and fall, as the number of poor Robert's instructions: NEW HAVEN, CONN.

JERSEY CITY PASTOR HAS MADE FINE RECORD Jersey City, N. J., May 5—The Rev. A. L. Murray, pastor Bethel A. M. E. Church, 27 Oak street, has closed his first year of work at this charge, and left on Tuesday for the annual session of the New Jersey conference which is being held with the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, the Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, pastor, Trenton, N. J., Dr. Murray has succeeded in bringing about a very healthful condition of affairs at Bethel and goes up to the conference with the untold endorsement of the congregation and a unanimous request that he be re- quired for another year. The annual report of the church is gotten out in an attractive pamphlet which was circulated among the membership last Sunday. This report shows that during the past year approximately $6443 has been raised by the church membership for current expenses and conference claims, including funds for improvements and voluntary service rendered by different individuals. The second mortgage of $500 which was placed upon the church in 1912 was finally wiped out, and if the amount spent for improvements had been applied in that direction, the first mortgage could also have been paid. Raised $4,406.93 for Church Purposes. The actual amount in cash raised by the trustees and steward under Dr. Murray's pastorate was $4,406.93, which does not include the conference claims and voluntary gifts or work done free of charge. In preparing the report great care has been exercised to have each item of receipts and expenditures specified Under the heading of charity the sum of $817.73 was expended. The Rev Mr. Murray began his ministerial service in 1888 at Brazil, Ind., while still a "student at DePauw University. In 1891 he finished his school course and was ordained by Bishop Brown as a full elder. A transfer to the Michigan conference followed and he was located at Jackson, Mich. Later on he pastored at Lafayette, Vincennes and Indianapolis, Ind., Chicago and Quincy, Ill., and Atlantic City, N. J. He was elevated to the presiding eldership of the Newark district, and in this position his work commanded the attention of the high church dignitaries. Peculiar local conditions in the church at Jersey City made a change in that pastorate advisable and Bishop Tyre, after much persuasion, induced Dr. Murray to accept that work. How well he has succeeded is shown by the results. Beside the splendid financial results several hundred new members have been added to, the church and the general work has taken on new life and spirit. He has harmonized differences in the church, it is declared, and brought about umon and cooperative action where hitherto discordancy reigned. The members of Bethel are anxious that he be returned to the pastorate, and are planning, certain large endeavors for the next year in case their wishes are met. Being Considered for New York Church. There is some doubt about this, however, as it is being rumored among the membership that because of conditions in Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York, a change in that pastorate is being considered, and in seeking for a capable and efficient man to place at this point the choice is narrowing down to Dr. Murray. The members of the Jersey City church realize, they say, that the bishop would be taking a wise step if that were done, but they will not willingly give their consent. It is reported that affairs at the New York church are in bad shape, and that a master hand will be needed so steer the body out of its present dangerous situation. All who are acquainted with the strength and capacity of Dr. Murray unite in saying that he is qualified to do the work necessary to save that church from financial and spiritual disruption. Dr. Murray, however, expects to cheerfully obey the mandate of the episcopal head of the church, and continue in the future as in the past to give the very best endeavor of which he is capable in any field to which he may be assigned.

BRECKENIDSON Arvine, NY 1417-Hampton Phone: 1417-8456 BOJANGLES WINS HARLEM CHARLIE-HART, for many years a member of the vandeville team of Avery & Hart, who is now appearing in London musical productions and in vaudeville abroad, is hack in New York for a brief stay, arriving last Saturday. The comedian, who is in good health, says that as the result of the European War colored entertainers are in great demand in the London theatres and cafes, and he predicts that before many months have passed, colored musicians and singers will be doing most of the cabaret work in London. Shortly after Christmas, "Gust" Haston, who had come to America a few months previous, because of bad business caused by the big European conflict, returned and with Messrs. Tuck, Mills and Johnson, opened at Murray's Club, where they have been entertaining with great success. A few weeks ago Dan Kildare, until recently president of PETER H. BURGESS CHARLIE HART the Clerf Club, assumed the onerous duties of amusing the fastidious and high-class patrons of Ciro's. He has seven men in his aggregation which is known as Dan Kildare's Clerf Club Orchestra. They are also making a big hit, and as Murray's and Ciro's are generally regarded as the leading establishments of their kind, the opinion prevails that other well known cafes will soon adopt the policy of employing colored entertainers. Before the present war in Europe, German musicians had the call in most of the cafes, but as friendly relations no longer exist between England and Germany it is impossible for Germans to secure employment, even if permitted to remain in London. This new state of affairs should make it possible for colored entertainers to ultimately corner the cabaret work in London, unless they make a mess of things as is so often done. Colored persons frequently get golden opportunities to make good and develop a business, but unfortunately, in many instances they seem to lose their heads and do not get back to earth until it is too late. With such alluring prospects in sight for colored entertainers abroad, we respectfully beg of those who go to England to use good judgment and to remember that while it is important that their work be of high order, it is as equally important that their CONDUCT be above reproach. For no matter how highly their work is regarded, if they become obnoxious, because of their CONDUCT their stay abroad will be painfully short. It behoves every colored musician in Dr. Warren Opal Graigbarn Thompson, Cooper & Thompson The Composer of No Two Songs. England to be on his good behavior, for just as Thomas Dixon and the other producers of "The Birth of a Nation" are seeking to create a false impression in this country regarding the Negro, so are agencies from America at work abroad doing their utmost to sow the seeds of race hatred. Let the colored Americans in London show their loyalty for their race by being gentlemen at all times and in all places. If they pursue this policy they will be re-rendering incalculable service to their people. William Robinson, better known in Harlem as "Bojangles," and familiarly known in his home town, Richmond, Va., as "Snowbird," is the big noise at the Lafayette Theatre this week, and he is amusing the patrons as only "Bojangles" can. There is not a more original comedian on the stage than "Bojangles," who does not have to exert BOM. E'ROCHAN himself to make, people laugh and applaud. All he has to do is to walk on the stage and act natural. There is nothing boisterous to his comedy methods, and he is truly a classy artist. Colored comedians who desire to wear comedy clothes and also look extremely neat ought to see "Bojangles"; in fact, there are many white comedians who could take a tip from him. Johnson & Wells are back at the Lafayette after over a year's absence, and their act is enjoyable as-ever. Miss Wells continues to wear pretty costumes and Duke Johnson is scoring as usual in his dancing, particularly in his old-time quadrille specialty. Thompson, Cooper & Thompson, arrived in New York Sunday evening, were immediately booked, and opened at the Lafayette Monday. This trio is well known in Chicago, DeKoven Thompson being a composer of no little reputation in the MiddleWest Cooper and Creighton Thompson, who do the principal vocal work, have voices above the ordinary, and DeKoven Thompson officiates at the piano in a most acceptable manner. The trio can get plenty of work as a straight singing act, minus any attempts at comedy, and with one or two minor changes should be rated above the average singing act. The Wilson Trio, in a laughable acrobatic turn, the Hullson Trio, very good dancers, and the Williard Trio, a musical act, were also on the bill. "Bojangles" and Johnson & Wells have been held over. The Smart Set Company has been booked to return to the Lafayette Theatre week of May 17, by popular request, as-hundreds were unable to see'the production last week, failing to secure admission. "THE MAID FROM THE MOON" At the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, last Thursday evening. "The Maid From the Moon," a military musical comedy in two acts, was creditably presented under the auspices of Allen A. M. E. Church, Philadelphia, and was enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience. To the Rev W. Spencer Carpenter, pastor of Allen A. M. E. Church, is due the credit for the successful production of the piece by amateurs, the words and music to "The Maid From the Moon" having been written by him. Among those to ably assist the Rev. Mr. Carpenter in the presentation were Prof. F. A. Clark, director of music; R. Henri Strange, stage manager; Clarence S. Butler, assistant stage manager, and M. Louse Augustus, accompanist. The features of the production were the singing of Mrs. Anna M. Carpenter; wife of the Rev. Mr. Carpenter; the comedy work of Frank A. Clark, Jr., and the drilling of the Allen Drill Club. Mrs. Carpenter agreeably surprised many of her friends by rendering "Tis Always Morning Somewhere in the World" more like a professional than an amateur soloist, attacking her top notes with ease when Frank A. Clark, the widow of a widowed man, was of a real comedian. The members of the Allen Drill Club went through various military maneuvers with such precision as to win hearty applause.

INCOMPARABLE WILL BE The Clef Club Carnival DR. MANNES CONTINUES. (BY LUCIEN H. WHITE) The announcement that David Mannes had resigned from the Music School Settlement in East Third street, with which he had, been connected for fifteen years, being its founder, has given rise to the report that he had severed his connection with the Music School Settlement for Coored People, of which he was also the initiating spirit. This is not true, and Mr. Mannes has written a letter to J. Rosamond Johnson, supervisor of the Music School Settlement, in which he gives the positive assurance that his interest and active work in behalf of the settlement will be continued. Mr. Johnson has also received a letter from Miss Natalie Curtis, whose researches in musical folk improvisation of the Indians, has made her a national character and an authority in matters pertaining to music. Miss Curtis takes the opportunity to pay a decided compliment, not so much to the finished results, as to the showing of what is to be achieved in the future. She calls particular attention to the fact that the road to complete success is attended with hard work concentrated on work and talks of long, ordinary journey. Referring especially to appearance, stage department and concentration to work in hand, Miss Curtis declares that the chorus, which was making its first public appearance, had found the professional 'standard'. In the light of recent criticisms made by certain disaffected parties who were selfishly inclined to magnify minor faults, discount actual accomplishment and disavow future possible problems from Dr. Mannes and Miss Curtis are interesting and valuable. The letters are as follows: Copy of Letter from. Mr. Mannes. Mr. J. Rosamond Johnson, Musical Director, the Music School Settlement for Colored People, 4 and 6 W. 131st street, New York City, My New York; Johnson: I have just just sent a report in being spread about that I have assigned from the Music School Settlement for Colored People. This is, as you know, a mistake. I have not been the Minister of the Music School Settlement in East Third street with which I have been connected for fifteen years, but I shall continue not only for these years, but for the rest of the Music School Settlement for Colored People, but anticipate having more leisure to devote myself to the interest which are so near and near my hearts. Sincerely yours, (Signed) DAVID MANNES. I wish to congratulate you on what your chorus has achieved in one short season. I wish to congratulate you in New York has perhaps qualified me to judge of what you have accomplished, and I think that the chorus acquitted them musically but also with a dignity and earnestness that impressed people, who did not know the Negroes, with a sense of pride, in their appearance, in stage department and in concentration to the work in hand your chorus, which had never before appeared and had found the true professional standard. Above all I was impressed with the spirit of your chorus and with their devotion to the cause for which the Muscle Man has so long been complete success is a long one, I hope and believe that this chorus will in due time be widely known for its excellent music and the heartfelt impact it has on the body's singers reflects your downward spirit of dedication to service for your race. As a director of the school and a member of the Music Committee, I want to shine in the chorus to feel my deep personal sense of their co-operation and loyalty to the cause of a more general recognition that greater dignity and true citizenship of the Enterprise at West, 131st street. With renewed appreciation of all your own undiring and faithful efforts, believe me. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) NATALIE-CURTIS.

When asked what he thought of the attack on his bandaged leg by the *Evening Mail*, he quickly replied that he does his running on the track and not in the papers. Drew is studying law at the University of Southern California and does not expect to come east again for a year. He got away Monday in order to run on the coast May 8. One is Judged by the Company He Keeps. Never has this been brought home to anyone more forcibly than it was to H. Richardson of St. C. last Sunday. The crowd gave him a big "hand" when he received his silver watch for placing second in the hundred and was greatly surprised when he sought refuge among members of his race. Man Is Subject to His Environment. Cornelius (Kid) Brooks, formerly a quiet Salem-Crescent (if there be such) since joining the navy has been a real fighting tar. So full of fight is he that he looks for battles when "Uncle Samuel" is trying to keep peace. He has challenged Darky Griffin for a bout. Local Outdoor Season Opened: The feature of the Monument A. C.'s games over at Celtic Park Sunday, where the local outdoor season was opened, was the classy running of Hannes. Kolehmalmen, the great Finnish runner, Starting from scratch in the 15 mile race and conceding handlecalls up to fifteen minutes, he uncorked a brand of running such as was never seen before around these parts. As he finished the last mile it was found that he had lowered the American record two minutes. It must be said for Aaron Morris, who has proven himself the world's greatest colored distancer, that were it not for him Koleg would not have made such good time. Morris received a handlecalls eight times, while Charlie Pores of the Milwaukee A. A. After covering twelve of the fifteen miles, Morris spurted around the track like a quarter-miller, leaving the great Pores a half a lap behind and passing many others as he sped time after, time past the applauding grandstand. This proved to be just what the Finn wanted for he immediately pursued the colored boy—however he covered fully two miles before overhauling the flying Aaron. The latter completed the distance a little more than three-quarters of a mile in front of his record breaking adversary for which he received a silver watch. Bill Murray, Smart Set's track captain, was also a starter in this race and was the only player twinkling in good style. This is the same Murray that ran quarter and half miles on local tracks last year. Though only two colored entrants came out for the fifteen mile jaunt, the number entered in the less lengthy events made up for this scarcity. - Colored Runners at Princeton Colored Runners at Princeton.

The school board will select and elect teachers next month for another year's service in the school room. We presume the board selects such of our teachers as seem best qualified to do the work assigned them. But selections have been made in the past that did not suit the colored people. It is impossible for the board to select, as a whole, teachers who would be satisfactory to us. There seems to me only one real way to do justice to the colored people in this difficult and important matter. I might suggest, a way that would, perhaps, give partial satisfaction. If the school board would appoint three or more colored men as an advisory board to serve with them when selecting teachers for our schools I think satisfactory results would be secured. It is evident that such an advisory board would be instrumental in guiding the real board in the selection of men and women of the highest efficiency, especially in morality and sobriety. I would also suggest that worthy young girls and women who have graduated from our schools and colleges be given the preference over our married women. Our girls need better treatment in this matter. They need to be encouraged and inspired. It is clearly and imperatively the duty of the parents to furnish this encouragement and inspiration. Let us take another step forward and occupy high grounds in the realms of morality and saneness. The time has come when all petty differences should be relegated to the rear and denominational biskerings should be burned to ashes by lofty sentiments of racial aggression and progression. The sane and sensible course taken by our people in the Branch Normal College muddle is, I hope, the beginning of the end of so much immoral corruption in our schools. For God knows conditions are rotten. W.B.CROSSAN RICHLAND Best soil in the country for vegetables and garden truck. Unsurpassed for fruit and grape arbors. Highly adaptable for chicken raising.

PRICE FIVE CENTS DIXON WANTS TO DEPORT NEGROES Author of "The Clausman' Declared to Boston Editor That It Could Be Done. TEACHES A NEW HISTORY Vicious Movie Intended to Teach Dixon's History of Reconstruction, and Create Deportation Sentiment. WHITE MAN'S CHILD'S SLAVE Dr. Eliot of Harvard Declared That Worst Feature of the White South's Legislation, Except the Slavery Legislation, Provided that the Child of a White Man by a Black Mother he His Slave. Tennessee Mass., May 5—That Thomas Dixon writer of books and plays dealing with the relations of the white and colored people from a rabid Southern standpoint, desirous of having the Negroes removed from the United States was brought out by Koffie Coblegan, assistant editor of the Congregation, who was appointed a mass meeting at Preston temple on Sunday and made the direct charge that Dixon's real movie in his movies picture production is the asylum of white supremacy and the setting riot of the colored people. Mr. Coblegan said that Dixon made direct contact to him and that he suggested that Dixon the difficulty of deporting 100,000 American citizens to Arizona that Dixon seriously argued that it could be done. He hopes to create such public sentiment that a substantial beginning can be made in the near future and that the task can be completed within a century. The declaration created a sensation. Dixon's Purpose All Wrong. It was brought out by Mr. Cobleigh in his address that Dixon had called at the editor's office for the purpose of convincing him, that the play was all right. He thanked Dixon tor removing every doubt he had had as to the right or wrong of "The Birth of a Nation," and said that Dixon convinced him that his purpose was all wrong. Mr. Cobleigh said in part: He removed, every doubt that I had had as to the right or wrong of The play, and he was not the one what he hoped to accomplish by his influence throughout the country. It is of great service to us in judging the play to what the promoters are trying to do, Mr. Dixon came to my office for the purpose of convincing me that the play was all wrong, and that the pose in it was all wrong, a conviction strengthened by a view of the picture at Tremont Theatre, which proved to me that the play was not successful in telling Mr. Dixon's story in the most startling and impressive way, presenting the propaganda of falsehood and produce which Mr. Dixon had admitted was the real purpose he had in view. Ku Klux Real Terrorists "Mr. Dixon says that he wants to teach the children of the United States his version of the history of the reconstruction period, that the Ku Klux was a chivalric army of crusaders, inspired by pure religion, and made up of the best white men of the South, organized to avenge assaults of - colored men upon white women, and to protect their virtue, to protect property and personal rights, and to regain the white man's control of the hallot, all of which he represents had been menaced or lost in a reign of terror caused by vicious colored people, whom he would have us believe were the only kind of colored people except the ignorant and servile who 'knew their place.' He says that his father was a Baptist minister in North Carolina, and left the church to join the Ku Klux, remaining with it till it was disbanded, so Thomas Dixon knows what he is talking about." "But authoritative history tells me that the Ku Klux kings were guilty of treason, wholesale murder, and other crimes, and by the Ku Klux, and that white men who would not vote with the oligarchy, as well as Negroes, were innocent victims." The speaker concluded with the assertion that the killings were a multitude, and contended that the scones of the chase of white women not only by this but also by the lieutenant-governed mob in a multitude of race, even though educated, of lust and baseness. Recounting Mr. Dixon's scheme to get rid of the whole race of Negroes, the speaker said; "the political propaganda against any race in or mixed population, where will it end?" Creates a Sensation. The statement created a sensation and the speakers following Mr. Cobleigh, especially Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president of mentus of Harvard, and Judge Kinnemin of the Juvenile Court, deed considerable attention to it. Judge Kinnemin declared that he was surpelled to learn the real motive of the court. That while property rights want to be respected, every day men can forward in the attempt to use property for improper purposes and man knows that property rights coordinate to human rights. He that the effect of the play upon the is that of horror as well as symmetry to the Negro, and urged which are inspirations to haunt should be prohibited. That dwelt at length upon the play upon the white people, the rising generation. After to the play as a very extraor- representation of the birth of a nation," he declared that it was a dangerous, false doctrine taught by the play that the Ku Klux Klan was a righteous and necessary society for the defense of Southern white men. "There can be no worse teaching, no more mischievous doctrine." said Dr. Eliot, "than this, that lawlessness was justified as necessary." Dr. Eliot commented at length on the real motive of the production, as revealed by Mr. Cobleigh's talk with the author, pronouncing it "inconceivable, monstrous, that the whole colored race should be removed to Africa, or some other unoccupied or barbarous country. They won't want to go. They'll have to be driven by force of arms. What an attack would be persecuted by white people on colored It is represented that they might find a paradise in Liberia, and that this is a white man's country, better off without the presence of colored people." Dr. Eliot took up the matter of the Negroes' experience in this country during and since slavery. Said he: "Now let us recall—how did the colored people come here? Who brought them here? How did they form here? Whose children are many of them today? The very worst features of southern legislation, except the slavery law, are still in effect, that the child of a white man by a black mother should be his slave." The Anglo-Asian people will never tink of such an institution supporting a white take-beyond the seas! The progress they have made in the past 50 years is in the world history of civilization. My interest is not at all so to the effect of the 1950s, the New Deal or of itself. It is the white face I am concerned about, as to the effects of the falsehoods of history and the perversions of society. My doubt comes as to what should be done. It is quite true there is a growing plea to the questions of liberty and justice, but will not his play, call attention to this fact. Pilot is suspected that it gave him great satisfaction to remember that he wrote the inscription on the Shaw monastery to what the colored race did for the American people in the cause of liberty. WASHINGTON CHURCH Speak to the New York Act. BATTERSEY, Md. May 5. The ninety-eighth annual session of the Baltimore Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church came to an end with the announcement of the appointments for the enquiry by Bishop L. J. Coppen at Waters Church last night. Great surprise was occasioned by the reading of a letter from the trustees of Metropolitan Church, Washington, defining to entertain the next session of the conference. The reason given was that the congregation would be unable to entertain the conference, as it contemplated—spending—several thousand dollars in improving the church. Dr. B. F. Watson criticized the action of the church, as did the Rev. A. L. Gaines, who pointed out that the whole expense would not be saddled on the congregation. The motion of Saturday by which the church was chosen, was reconsidered, however, and Bethel Church, this city, selected. LARGE SUM AWARDED A. M. MURRAY IN COURT Special to the New York Age PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May 5.—Arthur M.

His injuries brought on paralysis.

May 5.—Another vigorous "baby-saving" campaign is being planned for the summer months. Nine hundred and fifty-two Negro babies under the age of two years died in this city last summer. A great many of these deaths occurred in the month of August. The importance of plenty of boiled water is urged as essential to the baby's diet. The daily bath, light clothing, plenty of sleep in a cool room is necessary to save the life of the baby in the summer months. FAIR TREATMENT PLEA BY FISHER OF TUSKEEGEE PHILADELPHIA, Pa.

Other speakers were John T. Emilen, Res. Carl E. Grammar, Miss Jattie Norris and Mr. Richardson. LINCOLN'S SON CLAIMS PULLMAN CO. AN UPLIFT Tells Federal Commission Co.-has Done Most to Uplift Negro Men TIPS REALLY TO COMPANY Robert Lincoln, Former President of Pullman Co., Textiles That Salary Paid Porters is Too Low, and if Law Prohibited Tips Salaries Would be Raised Immediately by the Company. Special to The New York Ack. WASHINGTON, D. C. May 5.—Robert T. Lanceing, son of the late President Abraham Lincoln, and a controlling factor in the destiny of the Pollinn Company, was a witness before the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations. Frank P. Walsh of Missouri, chairman, which opened a three weeks' hearing on Monday in this city. Mr. Lincoln declared that the Pullman Company has been "the one largest element (outside of the learned professions) that has done more to uplift colored men" Mr. Lincoln was president of the company from 1877 to 1911, while ill health necessitated his retirement, and he became chairman of the board of directors, which position he now holds. He declared that the matter of tips to Pullman porters was an old custom, but that it was not a nice arrangement and was very annoying. He acknowledged also that tips to porters were really tips to the company stockholders. He said it all fits to porters were predicated by law the company, without two minutes' discussion of the matter, would immediately raise salaries. He said that salaries to conductors and porters were too low, that increase should be granted and that it was a matter which would have the attention of the executive board of the Pullman Company at once. "Refers to Porters as "Coons." Commissioner Garretson, in questioning Mr. Lincoln, had to interject an insult to the vast body of worthy Negro men who serve as Pullman porters by referring to them as "coons," and to his reference no exception was taken by the great emancipator's son, or any other member of the commission. This came when Garretson asked Mr. Lincoln, "Then if tips are to be paid you believe in the corporation getting them instead of the 'coon'?" to which the reply was given, "That is what it amounts to." On the origin of the tipping system Mr. Lincoln said that it was existing when he became president-of the company, and was a condition found by George M. Pullman when he entered the business. When Chairman Walsh brought up the subject of tips Mr. Lincoln sat straight up in his chair. "That situation annoys me very much," said Mr. Lincoln. "Has this tipping habit always been widespread in the United States as at present?" asked Chairman Walsh. "Have no doubt of it." replied Mr. Lincoln. "Your porters get $27.50 a month. They are supposed to supplement their pay by getting tips from the public," was asked. "They are not required to wear the witness." "We know they get tips." "Would you say that a man was able to retain his self-respect living under a system where he forced to get gratitudes living in him as a servant?" his morphed by such a system." Not a Question of Morals. "I do not think it is a question of morals," replied Mr. Lincoln. "They would get tips whatever wages were paid. They get such tips as a matter of fact they are paid. They are paid by their line of duty as porters. You know the colored race in subject to great limitations in getting employment. I believe that outlaw of the armed professions, they are made to pay more than one large element that has done more to uplift colored men has been afforded through employment by the Pullman Company. Do you think this service has upilized them?" "The tips are paid without regard to the amount of wages," replied Mr. Lincoln. "They are paid by the porters and they continue to get tips at present would get much more money. You can understand how that might not be desirable." Lincoln conceded. In reply to questions, that the wages of Pullman conductors and porters were too low that increases should be granted, and that it was a matter that would have the attention of the board of the Pullman Company at once. When told of the case of a, porter who testified that one month he had made a donation to the travelling public, Mr. Lincoln explained with a show of embarrassment: "I do not think the arrangement is nice at all." Tipping Never Prohibited. Mr. Lincoln added that the company had never attempted to prohibit the acceptance of gifts, and the belief that if gifts were prohibited, porter would be very much troubled. Mr. Lincoln said he had never heard of any dissatisfaction on the part of the company, and the porter's gratuities. It was suggested to Mr. Lincoln that most social clubs prohibited the payment of tips. "He said, 'But I find that in all the clubs I belong to I am invited once a year to contribute to the Christmas fund of the 'employees.'" The company the real inkaker" asked Commissioner Garretton. "Reilly that is so," answered Mr. Lincoln. Sniffingly. "Thes if tips are to be paid you believe in the corporation getting them in the 'coon'" observed Mr. Garrett, "what it amounts to" replied Mr. Lindsay. M. Lincoln "The witness added in answer to another question that if this were prohibited by wages would be increased immediately. "There would not be two minutes discussion over it," he said. THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1915. MORRIS BROWN UNIV. AND ITS PRESIDENT Special to THE NEW YORK ACE ATLANTA, Ga., May 4.—The recent letters published in THE ACE from the Rev. P. G. Simmons of the A. M. E. Church at Forsyth, Ga., have aroused much interest among the rank and file of the A. M. E. Church, who have had no other opportunity to learn of conditions among the high officials of the church. The criticisms published of the work of Bishop W. S. Nipper and the Rev. W. A. Fountain, president of Morris Brown University, were especially illuminating. Some innimally feeling toward Simmons was aroused, however, by a reference he made to an unfortunate happening which concerned Bishop Flippers' only daughter. Many who are in sympathy with Simmons tell it that it would have been in much better taste not have dragged in an incident utterly irrelevant and unconnected with the case. Other than that the people are glad the controversy has arisen, because of the opportunity to learn of conditions which are ordinarily covered up and fallen from the layman. A rumor is in circulation to the effect that a compromise with Simmons is desired in order to prevent further disclosures, but when asked about it Simmons said that he was giving the cold facts as they are, facts which cannot be relied on, and he cannot be scrapped. Instead of discontinuing the discharged man he turned to another letter, touching further upon conditions at Morris Brown University under Fountain's administration, taking up especially the report that the college will close its 1915-to session in April, 1916. To Close School for Promotion of Campaign. According to the report as referred to by Simmons, the bishop is said to be intending to ask the trustees to allow the school to close that President Fountain may have more time in which to conduct his campaign for the bishopric. The Golden Jubilee, which was to have been celebrated in the spring of 1916, has also been postponed until after the general conference, by suggestion of the bishop, it is reported, and it is thought this will be to the advantage of Fountain's candidacy. The following is a part of the last letter to the public from the Rev. P. G. Simmons: "As the public well knows, the Rev. W. A. Fountain as a candidate for the bishopric, so I desire to inform the public something about his administration. If these are not facts let him set himself straight Before the people. Now, I am told that the April 1916 Brown College will close in April 1916. What for? So the president will have more time to look after his candidacy. One thousand students, as he says, are to be sent home to accommodate one man. In the interest of the school and the education of the children are to be made secondary to Fountain's campaign. That is, I am told that the Bishop is going to ask the Trustees to allow the school to close. Of course, they will grant it. Golden Jubilee Postponed. Also. "Now they have put off the Golden Jubilee that was to have been in the Spring of 1916. The Bishop suggested it to be put off until the endowment of 1916; that will be after the general conference. This rally will be for the new bishop. Of course, we have been returning Bishop for years, but, friends, it is bound to react. If you bend the law for the bishop why not bend it for the pastors? Why spend thousands of dollars every four years and then not regard the law? "It would seem that 'Georgia African Methodism is being run by the school for the purpose of advertising the president, as he gets more publicity than On March 16, I am told, two girls were taken from a resort not in harmony with the police and carried back to the school by the police ties. That happened while the president was in Wilmington, N. C. looking after his political fences. If he continues as president' until the general conference we should give a vice-president, because he has not had one since Dr. Drv left. "President Fountain is reported to have told someone in Kansas that whoever attacked Bishop Conner attacked him. He is also alleged to have told several persons that he would dictate the election of delegates in Georgia. He is a power in Georgia, is he? There might be a man here and there to slip in but he would control most of the delegates: He has Georgia in his vest pocket. "Will let you hear more from me as things develop in Georgia. "P. G.

INVENTOR OF SMOKE HELMET IN NEW YORK G. A. Morgan of the National Safety Device Co., Cleveland, Ohio, inventor of the Morgan National Safety Hood and Smoke Protector, was in the city this week in conference with the J. P.

The American selling rights are contained in the company which is obligated to dispose of 150 boods a month. Mr. Morgan is the owner of the building used as the headquarters of the company and manufacturing factory. The boods are made by skilled workers only, nine being employed at this time.

PROMINENT MEN ARE HONORING ANDERSON Men prominent in the business and political worlds are taking advantage of the opportunity offered by the proposed testimonial dinner to Hon. Charles W. Anderson, late collector of internal revenue in New York, to pay a tribute of just and deserved praise to Mr. Anderson from both personal and official standpoints. Cordial letters breathing personal esteem and admiration for a capable official have been received by the dinner committee from George McAneny, president of the Board of Aldermen of New York, from Henry W. Taft, brother to former President Win H. Taft, from Charles D. Hulles, chairman of the Republican National Committee, and other prominent men. All the men sent subscriptions for the dinner. The following is a copy of the letter received from Mr Hillees: Miller, Michael New York, April 21, 1932 T. J. HANFORD N.Y. I am well aware of your courtesy in insuring my initial invitation to attend the first dinner to be tendered to Hon. Charles W. Anderson * and let with ease my check for it. The Wizard is a most excellent man of character and a man of virtue. He had a position of spirit and justified the confidence which was placed in him by two Presidents. He was Collector of Internal Revenue when the Income Tax Law went into effect, and later when the Wor Tax Law went into effect. He collected more money and sold more property in the United States. Indeed, there was no comparison between the volume of business which he transacted and that of other Collectors transactions. He performed his work with great diligence and his capacity for organization was such that there was very satisfaction in his share by the level of the set of custom. There was no loss to the government and his reports were made with great promptness. He was commended in the highest torture by the present Tecsary officials only a few days before he was retired to make a place for one of the opposite political parties. Very truly yours, (Signed) CHARLES D. HILLES. SUBSCRIBERS TO THE ANDERSON DINNER Among the many distinguished men who have accepted invitations to the testimonial banquet to Hon.

Institutions of Education in Massachusetts Open Doors to Colored Man But Only A Few Profit by the advantage IS INCLINATION LACKING? Okahoman Who Attended New England School Writes About Educational and Civic Advantages, but Says the South Offers Greater Opportunities. The letter which follows, has been sent to Titin Aun for publication by Clarence A. Guillot, 322 North Frankfort street, Tulsa, Oklahoma, a graduate of Fisk University, who afterwards went to New England for training. It will be read with interest by those who would like to see New England through the eyes of a young colored filian who went from the South to Boston for his education. To the Editor of The Age: Naturally when young colored men want higher training they revert to New England—to Boston the place with which they in the years of groping learned to associate culture and education. Considers as they are of the advantages to be seen from attending Boston's institutions, their expectations of what they will receive from contact with their own people is no less great. They regard those of their privileged to live in such an atmosphere as unfavored race. In Boston they are unharmed and unembarrassed by traditions and customs that sprang up from the institution of slavery. Here they can enter into the heritage of national ideals; here the libraries are dedicated to the advancement of learning, not to any particular class or group, but to the development of knowledge. There are few men and women who are to-day zealous and as patient in the cause as they were during the years of slavery. Conception of Privileges. The Negroes attend mixed schools and received impartial and efficient instruction. The churches are open to those who feel the inspiration of religion, who wish to listen to the strains of spiritual music. In this Athens of the West every one has access to the lecture halls where he can hear live issues discussed, where his sense of responsibility is quickened, and where he is shown his duty to help shape the destiny of his state and country. In the museum with their varied collection offer unsurpassed opportunities for study and for the broadening of the mind; the art museums with their paintings and sculpture are of great value morally and aesthetically to the people. Here with its open doors is Harvard University, the oldest institution of learning in America, on whose faculty are some of the ablest minds of the country. The university is an inspiration to higher and nobler efforts; for they treat all students as men responsible to the same ideals, answerable to the same laws, moved by like motives, destroyed by the same evils, quickened and enriched by the same forces, and brought to a place wherever the thought of God has a practical reality and conscience a social significance. In view of these inexhaustible possibilities, it is no wonder that the Southern Negro conceives that his more favored brothers in this country have the obligation, to make the most of these privileges resting upon them. That the Southern Negro finds that the Northern contact has been fruitful of good to his people is a truth that cannot be denied. The intelligence of the Negroes have quickened his nature and made him more alert in speech and manner. The severity of the climate and the keen spirit of competition have caused him to realize the significance of the old adage "dollar saved is a dollar earned." His intelligence lines is well market; his home has modern conveniences and the number of these homes is rapidly increasing—a fact which testifies very eloquently to the Negro's thrift and economy. But these are missteps marking his journey to the North, and he is admitted by the most pessimistic on the Negro question in the North. Negro Does Not Recognize Responsibility. But notwithstanding this broad, though imperfect development the question naturally arises as to whether the Negro has recognized his responsibilities in an adequate way, and whether he himself may possess his opportunities. Deeply conceived of an sympathetic with his economic difficulties and his struggle for maintenance of self, one cannot after a survey of the statistics of the universities, colleges, and libraries and an ocular study combined with the testimony of atlases of the museums and lecture halls, but answer the question negatively. Let one examine the statistics for the scholastic year of 1811 and 1912 of the higher institutions of learning. He will find that there were in Harvard University sixteen colored men, registered in the system, with the exception of two from New York, the other from New Jersey, Boston University had thirteen colored students. New England contributed three to that number. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology had no colored students in any of its departments. Tuft College had two colored students, one belonging to Fordford, the other to Cambridge, the other in the medical and dental schools—three from the south and two Bostonians. of three distinctive features—a ball, a banquet and a visit to the rooms of the club. This organization merits much commendation for the superior quality and tone of this evening of pleasure. The members are as follows: Dr. J. R. McCruhy, predeceased by Dr. M. T. Pope, vice president; Dr. W. P. Coleman, treasurer; Dr. J. T. Wortham, secretary. Dr. The Age can be had for 12½ cents per month by addressing R. H. Jones, 116.44 street southwest. By a majority vote the trustees of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church refused to intertain the conference next year, owing to expensive repairs to be made on the church. HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL BY USING WALKER 5 Toilet and Hair Preparations It is necessary to have, clear smooth skin as well as hair to be beautiful. STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR. THE HOUSE of QUALITY Acknowledged the Leading House of the Hair Goods Trade. One might legitimately ask why this condition obtains here among the Negroes? Is it because he is discriminated against in the schools and public places? Is it lack of money to enter college? Is it lack of inclination? The first proposition is groundless and consistent for the reason that inclusion is desirable place for the colored people, in their opinion at least, if there is anything here of which they are proud, it is the lack of discrimination in the public places where they receive courteous and impartial treatment. The second suggestion is equally fallacious in that four-fifths of the Negro students in the above schools are self-supportive. One is the third, the conclusion that these disparaging conditions exist because of lack of inclination on the part of the Negroes. On the third page of a small hand book, presented to the students annually by the Phillips Brooks House Association of Harvard, are a few words of greeting by President Lowell to the freshmen, in which he says in part, "The opportunities are limited only by your capacity." The words in a large measure explain the situation here. Manifold opportunities are offered to all classes and groups, but those, he they individuals or whole groups—who have not the inclination to take advantage of them, find that their opportunities are very limited. One does not enter into the heritage of a wider culture and training simply by virtue of an environment. It is beautiful scenery, or noble monuments, or venerable ruins, or paintings, or music, or books, or contact with life, things presented to us educate us only inasmuch as we react upon them. Lack of Race Solidarity. Again the Southern Negro finds that lack of race solidarity among his New England brothers is another hindrance to a more definite development. Many of the race, who are farseeing, are constantly working to bring about unity. The white friends of the Negro, those in the north, are more adept, realize the gravity of this non-co-operation and by continued effort try to rouse them to the fact that permanent progressiveness is found where the social aggregate is characterized by cohesion among its part and that the group and not the individual must become the unit, in order that it be of profit to the species and the race. At this stage of development of the race co-operation cannot be too strongly emphasized and, when the full import of that truth is learned the race here will find itself growing in wisdom and in strength; it will promote that race and that group, and are essential and indispensable for the highest development of a people. It is often said that because Massachusetts in the past made possible jobs and positions for the Negro he expects from her by virtue of his racial identity more than she is giving. That indeed is a greater virtue of Massachusetts where freedom is not a mockery, the fact that one belongs to a certain race or group does not entitle him to greater consideration in the way of situations and position. Let him have some wares to place upon the market, and if they were not refused then it is time to protest but not till then. The writer once heard a Boston minister, in conversation, complain because he could not exchange pulpits with his white brother ministers. In the first place as he was shown by the man he could not be told in the second place his standard intellectually would not have warranted an exchange of pulpits with any minister, regardless of nationality, with an intelligent congregation. That his disaparaging conclusion was erroneous is proved by the fact that the two men who were something to offer, exchange pulpits with their white brother ministers. The South Offers Opportunities. But if education and training do not open to the Negro in Massachusetts desirable positions, shall he be in despair exclaim "What is the use?" Shall he content himself because of mal-adjustment in one place with being a hewer of wood and a drawer of water? Why not go to the South where the fields are ripe with harvest; a harvest of thousands of untutored souls—truly in this region the laborers are the ones who women are needed. It was to help these less fortunate souls that Booker T. Washington went to the woods of Alabama; it was here that he had the prophetic vision of industrial training for his people—a vision that is no longer a theory, an experiment, but crystallized reality which has done more to help solve the Negro problem than any other agency or theory since the dawn of freedom in the United States. An experiment it was necessary that he should be led out of the cave of darkness by the guidance of the fakultate few of the stronger race, but now it becomes the duty of those whose eyes are asmatained to see night to go down to those who see but the shadows of objects upon the wall, those whose knowledge is of shadows only, from whom the realities are ever hidden. The Negro and this Negro alone can do this work adequately, thereby done will leave the whole hump and help to hasten the day when all men will be lovers and every prejudice will be dissolved in the universal sunshine. The writer does not speak as a psalist, but rather as one looking on the dark side of a shield; as one interested in the wolffare of his people North and South. He has seen the South. So he found and hone to the conclusion that all things considered, the South offers better opportunities to the colored man; he is not unmindful of the prejudices and the disadvantages that obtain here, but the Southern Negro is daily turning his disadvantages into advantages; he is able to build foundation and pulvina for education both of the mind and hand for the profession and for citizenship.

Basas, of Frederickburg, entertained with her full rich voice two beautifully rendered solos. This feature closed with a grand march ("It's a long night in Citizen's Club rooms about a half block away"; this was a novel surprise and the guests were delighted to find it so completely and tastefully furnished. Here was a scene of excited merriment as the ladies attempted to amuse themselves in club fashion, wifi cues and balls. The guests repaired from the room to room, the ball room to the most suspicious repast awaited them. Just one clance was guided to apprise them that neither means new money had been spared to make their climaxing feature one to be remembered. Dummes NatlFallies.

THE NEGRO FARMER Something NEW: Something NEEDED 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 circula- tions 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." DR. BOOKER T.

Dear Sira: PUBLISHING MY LARGER EDUCATION --- THE Y. M. C. A. We hope that the Y. M. C. A. building committee, in selecting a site in Harlem for the Colored Mens' Branch, will not make the mistake so often made by white committee of feeling that any place is good enough for colored people. Nothing will do more to chill the enthusiasi and kill the interest of colored people in this work than to put the new building in an undesirable location. We understand that there is objection to the site which is unanimously favored by the colored committee, on the ground that it is too near Seventh avenue. The members of the colored committee are all men of intelligence and standing, who have the interest of the work at heart; they know intimately the needs, the desires and aspirations of the Negro community, and they know also what will be satisfactory; for these reasons they are better judges of the suitability of a site than the white committee could possibly be. No site within the colored radius of Harlem can be too good or too prominent. The new building should be a source of pride and inspiration; upon this the future growth and success of the work will depend. A Y. M. C. A. differs from a mission. No location can be too undesirable for a mission; it goes down to the people. A Y. M. C. A. should be as a light set upon a hill to draw men up to it. This the committee had in mind when it made its recommendation. The Age takes this occasion to impress again on those who subscribed to the fund to keep faith, and to pay their pledges, no matter how small their payments may be. A SLANDER ON NEW YORK HOME LIFE Our Harlem contemporary, The New York News, last week reproduced with its apparent endorsement a letter which had been printed in the Evening Mail, and which contained some slanderous remarks concerning home life among colored people in New York City. These remarks were not only a slur upon the 200 respectable and intelligent colored people who took part in the concert referred to, but a gratuitous insult to colored New Yorkers in general, who were in no way connected with this concert. We are surprised at a Negro newspaper reproducing that sort of matter without making some adverse comment. BILLY SUNDAY speaks out emphatically, acrobatically and ungrammatically against abistot every wrong in the country—except race prejudice. If he wants to show that he is a real brave man, not afraid to tackle anything, and do some good where it is most needed, let him speak out against race prejudice. A dispatch from Vera Cruz states that preparations are under way for ceremonies to commemorate the killing of the Americans who were slain in the taking of that city a year ago. Defenders of Vera Cruz are to be presented with medals inscribed as follows: On one side, "Praise to the Hero of April 21, 1914," and on the other side, "He fought the Invader of April 21, 1914." This is a very different thing from the salute to the flag, which is still due the United States Government. Word comes to us indirectly that the producers of "The Birth of a Nation" are showing their kindly feelings toward the Negro by offering to introduce into the first part of the picture some views of Hampton Institute. If this is true, the Dixon-Griffith combination is laying a trap in which, we are quite sure, the Hampton people will be too wise to walk. If there was ever a case for the application of the old saw, "Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts," this is one. No good will toward the Negro need be expected or hoped for from Tom Dixon and his associates. There is absolutely nothing in their hearts but blind hatred for the race; and any protestation to the contrary is based on some hidden motive. This "The Birth of a Nation" gang is evidently feeling the attacks made on their hell-inspired production; but it is not for Hampton to save them; if the picture can be killed, let it die from first scene to last; for there isn't enough good in it to merit saving any part. The whole representation was conceived only in hatred for the North and contempt for the Negro; so let it die! Kill it! The final effect of introducing views of Hampton Institute into the first part of the "Birth of a Nation" would be to have spectators feel at the end of the play that education for Negroes is a failure. In doing this the producers would obtain the powerful endorsement of Hampton and thereby disarm criticism and repel attack, and still not change the main lessons taught by the play. It is inconceivable that the Dixon-Griffith people after spending thousands of dollars to produce a picture whose sole purpose is to convince the North that it made a mistake in fighting to free the slaves, and to convince the nation that it must "keep the nigger down," it is inconceivable, we say, that these people would consider introducing into their picture views from a colored school in such a manner and to such an extent as to change the whole play into a propaganda of glorious uplift for the Negro. No such change of heart can be expected. The offer to introduce these views, if it has been made, is nothing more than a trap. A trap, as we said, into which Dr. Frissell and the Hampton authorities will be too wise to walk.

Colored people are, in a general way, interested in what these lecturers, talk about, but only in a general way. It is regrettable that we are not more deeply interested. But since for various reasons—some good and most of them bad—we, as a race, are not interested in sociology or economics or eugenics or even woman suffrage, would it not be a good idea to establish in Harlem an open air lecture course upon subjects in which we are vitally interested. The open air lecture course has grown to be a great institution. It is university extension carried to the farthest point. On a hot summer evening when the mere thought of being indoors is torture, men will gather around an open air speaker and listen for an hour or more to an informative talk on some topic of the day. The majority of these men would never think of going to a lecture, but they will listen when the lecture is brought to them. There are a great many things that the colored people of New York should be taught and told, things they do not hear either at school or in church. If the proper sort of open air lecture course could be established in Harlem these things could be brought to their attention and they would listen to them. There is one colored speaker who, if he could be secured, would give a series of lectures that would be more than equivalent to a year at college, and of incalculable benefit to the community. If the public spirited colored men of Manhattan wish to do something of great practical value at a relatively small cost, let them take steps to establish in Harlem an open air lecture course for the summer upon subjects of importance and interest to colored people as a race. We should be glad to receive suggestions from our readers. COMMENT HERE AND THERE. ine Farrar was in Atlanta last week and pank, the man convicted of the murder of I visit to the tower of the prison, Miss Farrar is absolutely impossible to doubt him. If you were you would not notice him. He is not gifted. Geraldine Farrar was in Atlanta last week and paid a visit to Leo M. Frank, the man convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan. After her visit to the tower of the prison, Miss Farrar said: "It is absolutely impossible to doubt him. If you were to see him in a crowd you would not notice him. He is not gifted with physical strength, but mentally he is a giant. When he starts talking you believe in him at once, and no matter how much you were opposed to him and how firmly you were confident of his guilt you are at once converted. Miss Farrar is a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company, a sweet singer and a beautiful woman, but we know of no qualification she has that makes her an expert in criminology. How was it possible for Miss Farrar in just one flash of her glorious glance to find out what all the counts of Georgia didn't discover through many months of trial? Miss Farrar's words are like her songs, melodious, but they carry neither authority or conviction. If Frank exercised the strong psychic influence which she attributes to him, no jury in the world could have brought in a verdict of guilty. One of the most curious outcomes of the efforts of the so-called hyphenated Americans in the interest of Germany is the suit brought by General Samuel Pearson against the Allis-Chalmers Company to restrain that concern from manufacturing arms and munitions of war for shipment to the Allies. General Pearson sets up that through the sale of arms to the Allies certain properties and holdings of his in Germany are being damaged. He goes on to say: "We are not making our case under the neutrality laws, but under the common law, making it a crime to be an accessory before the fact to the commission of murder. There is justification for the slaying of soldiers by hostile armies, but none for the assisting of such murder by neutrals." It is hardly possible that the case will amount to anything, as no state-or-Federal court would be likely to claim jurisdiction in such a matter. However, a new and somewhat astounding thought is presented; that is, the guilt of a neutral manufacturer and shipper of arms in accessory before the fact to the commission of murder. The legal right of the United States and every other neutral nation to sell arms to the belligerents is unquestioned; that right is firmly sanctioned by international law. The expediency of our selling arms and ammunition cannot with reason be denied. It is clear that any established rule forbidding neutrals to sell arms to belligerent nations would put a premium upon militarism. By such a rule, those nations most peaceful and least prepared for war would always be at a great disadvantage. A rule of this kind would work very harshly against the United States in a war with any great power. Notwithstanding, the country is not so sure that it has the moral right to manufacture and ship implements that add to the terrible devastation and havoc being wrought in Europe, and to make money out of the business. Somehow, the national conscience is not entirely at ease on this point. It is not an easy matter to surprise New York, but something like that was accomplished the other day when Philip T. White, a high-salaried and trusted employee of the Masury Paint Company, confessed that he engineered the mysterious hold-up of the firm's pay-roll. Here was a man holding a $10,000 a year position who planned and executed the hold-up of his own firm's messenger coming from the bank, with the payroll for the week, and got away with it. Jesse James never conceived anything more cynically develish. White a first success brought about his downfall. He laid plans still more daring. Finally suspicion rested upon his actions and he was arrested. When arrested, he confessed. White claimed that Broadway—with its concomitants, women, wine and song—was the cause of all his trouble. This confession brought forth the following from that acrobatic exponent of sulphureous theology, the Rev. Billy Sunday: "If I were the judge, that very confession would cause me to cut his sentence right in two. I admire the manliness of the man in the victory he achieved over sin and self-in his heroic struggle through the dark night—before his confession in court. "Tragedies like this nerve my arm anew and strengthen my heart afresh to strike more staggering blows at the hellish, infamous, Godfor-saken, crime-producing liquor traffic. "This outburst of sentimentality does not closely conform with the Sunday philosophy of hell fire and eternal damnation. And why should Billy be so easy on a sinner, when he declares that God will get great satisfaction out of having such individuals toasted on a spit for a few million years? We fail to see where White deserves this sort of sympathy. He does not belong to that group of human rats and wolves known as the underworld; that sediment of civilization which feels that it has a right to take from those on top. White was the trusted and wellpaid employee of the firm that he robbed. He had no excuse. His confession strikes us a cry-baby act. He should have been handed a copy of the song entitled, "Don't blame it all on Broadway." But we want to say a word direct to Billy,—if you are going to "nerve your arm anew and strengthen your heart afresh," why not be a good sport and pick out a real antagonist? It requires no newly nerved arm or freshly strengthened heart to tackle poor old Rum. He is so hard beet in these days that there are none too timid or too weak to take a crack at him. Billy, suppose you leave poor old Rum to Bryan and the W. C. T. U., and you go up against something that most of the other fellows are afraid of. Suppose you swing a few of those "staggering blows" at the Fomenting of Race Prejudice, at Lynching and the various other wrongs in this country growing out of Race Hatred. "The Birth of a Nation" is right before you and would serve to begin on. EXPLANATION Regarding our article last week, "The Art of Living," some of our readers want to know why the Frenchman asked the American the question, "Why did we have to take the train to get here?" if he expected to walk. Our answer is that the printer should have made the Frenchman ask, "Why did we have to take three trains to get here?" NEEDS OF THE COLORED SCHOOL CHILDREN WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY In the meeting of the Public School Education Association held last week many helpful suggestions were made regarding the welfare of colored children in the public schools of the city. We are glad to see that Principal Theobald of Public School No. 89, in Harlem, is a man in sympathy with his colored pupils. No. 89 is a school of 2,100 pupils, of which 1,600 are colored. In the meeting Mr. Theobald plead for a recreation ground and one-ceent lunches. Both of these are pressing needs for the children of the community. But Mr. Theobald was 'but of line when, in disagreeing with a suggestion in the report that more arithmetic be taught colored pupils, he said, "More physical exercise, music singing, or 'manual training would be a good thing; but more arithmetic would be giving the pupils a double dose of something they did not like." The subjects named by Mr. Theobald as suitable are 'all right as far as they go, but colored children can't compete for a living in New York on a knowledge of music, singing or even manual training such as they get in public schools; they need arithmetic; if they don't like it, so much the more reason to give it to them.' The colored children in Harlem require and should have the same courses of study given to all other children in New York, and it will be found that they can master them in about the same average as the other pupils. Colored students do it at Harvard and Yale, and there is no reason that they can't do it at Public School No. 89. In view of the special interest being taken in the school children in the public schools, parents should do all in their power to cooperate with teachers and school authorities in bringing about desired results. A great deal can be done at home in encouraging studiousness, obedience and politeness. ANOTHER" "RIPPER" CASE. The city is shocked by another terrible "ripper" case. This time a little boy five years old. The crime was committed very near where the little Cohn girl' was murdered a few weeks.ago. We take this occasion to repeat that the effort to brand the Negro as a seepraved brute loses force in the face of such crimes as are committed by white degenerates. THE GULFLIGHT: The torpedoing of the American steamer Gulllight constitutes the most serious outcome of the war which the Government has yet had to confront. It is fraught with such danger that even the most radical journals are reserved in their discussion of it. It is a clear demonstration of the fact that however peace-loving we may be there is a possibility of our being dragged into this world war whether we will or no. Is it not a warning against the policy of non-preparation? WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Simmons Apologizes for Indirect Reference to Bishop's Daughter. I wrote some time ago concerning Bishop J. S. Flipper, telling of our relations and how I stood, by him. For him to take his episcopal power and move me when I was doing the work with the church, I couldn't get a decent lying was more than I could stand. So, in speaking about him I became worked up and drew his only daughter into the dis- cussion. For this I am heartily sorry for the episcopal apologize to the Bishon and the Church. I felt grieved and feel so yet. I do not feel in my heart as I should toward my brother and bishop. He rides through Forstvich; he sees me and I am not nice for the bishop and one of his pastors, but God loves honesty. Yours respectfully, (Signed) P. G. SIMMONS. Pastor, M. A. E. Church. Raleigh, N.

E Church, 27 Oak street, has closed his first year of work at this charge, and left on Tuesday for the annual session of the New Jersey conference which is being held with the Mt. Zion A. M. E. E Church, the Rev. Solomon, Porter Hood, pastor, Trenton, N. J. Dr. Murray has successed in bringing about a very personal condition of affairs at Bethel and goes up to the conference with the united endorsement of the congregation and a unanimous request that he be re- served another year. The annual report of the church is gotten out in an attractive pamphlet which was circulated among the membership last Sunday. This report shows that during the past year approximately $400 has been raised by the church membership for current expenses and conference claims, including funds for improvements and voluntary service rendered by different individuals. The second mortgage of $500 which was placed upon the church in 1912 was finally out, and if the amount spent for improvements had been applied in that direction, the first mortgage could also have been paid. Raised $4,406.93 for Church Purposes. The actual amount in cash raised by the trustees and stewards under Dr. Murray's pastorate was $4,406,93, which does not include the conference claims and voluntary gifts or work done free of charge. In preparing the report great care has been exercised to have each item of receipts and expenditures specified. Under the heading of charity the sum of $171.73 was expended. The Rev. Mr. Murray began his ministerial service in 1888 at Baind, India, while still a student at DePauw University. In 1891 he finished his school course and was ordained by Bishop Brown as a full elder. A transfer to the Michigan conference followed and he was located at Jackson, Mich. Later he pastored at Lafayette, Vincennes and Indianapolis, Ind. Chicago and Quincy, Lil. and Atlantic City, N. J. He was elevated to the presiding eldership of the Newark district, and in this position his work commanded the attention of the high church dignitaries. Peculiar local conditions in the church at Jersey City made a change in that pastorate advisable and Bishop Tyree, after much persuasion, induced Dr. Murray to accept that work. How well he has succeeded is shown by the results. Beside the splendid financial results several hundred new members have been added to the church and the general work has taken, on new life and spirit. He has harmonized differences in the church, it is declared, and brought about union and cooperative action where hitherto discordancy reigned. The members of Bethel are anxious that he be returned to the pastorate, and are planning certain large endeavors for the next year, in case their wishes are met. Being Considered for New York Church. There is some doubt about this, however, as it is being rumored among the membership that because of conditions in Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York, a change in that pastorate is being considered, and in seeking for a capable and efficient man to place at this point the choice is narrowing-down to Dr. Murray. The members of the Jersey City church realize, they say, that the bishop would be taking a wise step if that were done, but they will not willingly give their consent. It is reported that affairs at the New York church are in bad shape, and that a master hand will be needed to steer the body out of its present dangerous situation. All who are acquainted with the strength and capacity of Dr. Murray unite in saying that he is qualified to do the work necessary to save that church from financial and spiritual disruption. Dr. Murray, however, expects to cheerfully obey the mandate of the episcopal head of the church, and continue in the future as in the past to give the very best endeavor of which he is capable in any field to which he may be assigned. A summary of the improvements made at Bethel Church during the past year includes a cement walk around the church and ventilators in the building; rear stairway and lavatories; platform for lecture room; chair stands, installation of lights; retaining the pool and putting in an inclined floor, change of water supply from overhead to side, new doors and stops to furnace and painting of furnace pipes; enclining in lecture room; chairs for Sunday.

"It's a far cry" from sentiment to business. This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Colored merchant must "fall in" or "fall out."

(BY LESTER A. WALTON.) CHARLIE HART, for many years a member of the vaudeville team of Avery & Hart, who is now appearing in London musical productions and in vaudeville abroad, is back in New York for a brief stay, arriving last Saturday. The comedian, who is in good health, says that as the result of the European War polored entertainers are in great demand in the London theatres and cafes, and he predicts that before many months have passed, colored musicians and singers will be doing most of the cabaret work in London. Shortly after Christmas, "Gus" Haston, who had come to America a few months previous, because of bad business caused by the big European conflict, returned and with Messrs. Tuck, Mills and Johnson, opened at Murray's Club, where they have been entertaining with great success. A few weeks ago Dan Kildare, until recently president of M. CHARLIE HART the Clef Club, assumed the onerous duties of amusing the fastidious and high-class patrons of Ciro's. He has seven men in his aggregation which is known as Dan Kildare's Clef Club Orchestra. They are also making a big hit, and as Murray's and Ciro's are generally regarded as the leading establishments of their kind, the opinion prevails that other well-known cafes will soon adopt the policy of employing colored entertainers. Before the present war in Europe, German musicians had the call in most of the cafes, but as friendly relations no longer exist between England and Germany it is impossible for Germans to secure employment, even if permitted to remain in London. This new state of affairs should make it possible for colored entertainers to ultimately corner the cabaret work in London, unless they make a mess of things as is so often done. Colored persons frequently get golden opportunities to make good and develop a business, but unfortunately, in many instances they seem to lose their heads and do not get back to earth until it is too late. With such alluring prospects in sight for colored entertainers abroad, we respectfully beg of those who go to England to use good judgment and to remember that while it is important that their work be of high order, it is as equally important that their CONDUCT be above, reproach. For no matter how highly their work is regarded, if they become obnoxious, because of their CONDUCT their stay abroad will be painfully short. It behooves every colored musician in Mr. Wadey Charles Greggborn Thompson, Cooper & Thompson The Company of Not, Twenty Seventy-nine England to be on his good behavior, for just as Thomas Dixon and the other producers of "The Birth of a Nation" are seeking to create a false impression in this country regarding the Negro, so are agencies from America at work ahead doing their utmost to sow the seeds of race hatred. Let the cofounded Americans in London-show their loyalty for their race by being gentlemen at all times and in all places. If they pursue this policy they will be rendering incalculable service to their people; William Robinson, better known in Harlem as "Bojangles," and familiarly known in his home town, Richmond, Va., as "Snowbird," is the big noise at the Lafayette Theatre this week, and he is amusing the patrons as oily "Bojangles" can. There is not a more original comedian on the stage than "Bojangles," who does not have to exert WAL E. POWERS himself to make people laugh and applaud. All he has to do is to walk on the stage and act natural. There is nothing boisterous to his comedy methods, and he is truly a classy artist. Colored comedians who desire to wear comedy clothes and also look extremely neat ought to see "Bojangles"; in fact, there are many white comedians who could take a tip from him. Johnson & Wells are back at the LaFayette after over a year's absence, and their act is enjoyable as ever. Miss Wells continues to wear pretty costumes and Duke Johnson is scouring as usual in his dancing, particularly in his old-time quadrilile speciality. Thompson, Cooper & Thompson arrived in New York Sunday evening, were immediately booked, and opened at the Lafayette Monday. This trio is well known in Chicago, DeKoven Thompson being a composer of no little reputation in the Middle West. Cooper, and Creighton Thompson, who do the principal vocal work, have voices above the ordinary, and DeKoven Thompson officiates at the piano in a most acceptable manner. The trio can get plenty of work as a straight singing act, minus any attempts at comedy, and with one or two minor changes should be rated above the average singing act. The Wilson Trio, in a laughable acrobatic turn, the Hullson Trio, very good dancers, and the Williard Trio, a musical act, were also on the bill. "Bojangles" and Johnson & Wells have been held over. The Smart Set Company has been booked to return to the Lafayette Theatre week of May 17, by popular request, as hundreds were unable to see the production last week, failing to secure admission. "THE MAID FROM THE MOON" At the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, last Thursday evening, "The Maid From the Moon," a military musical comedy in two acts, was credibly presented under the auspices of Allen A. M. E. Church, Philadelphia, and was enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience. To the Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, pastor of Allen A. M. E. Church, is due the credit for the successful production of the piece by amateurs, the words and music to "The Maid From the Moon" having been written by him. Among those to ably assist the Rev. Mr. Carpenter in the presentation were Prof. F. A. Clark, director of music; R. Henri Strange, stage manager; Clarence S. Butler, assistant stage manager, and M. Louse Augustus, accompanist. The features of the production were the singing of Mrs. Anna M. Carpenter, wife of the Rev. Mr. Carpenter; the comedy work of Frank A. Clark, Jr., and the drilling of the Allen Drill Club. Mrs. Carpenter agreeably surprised many of her friends by rendering "Tis Always Morning Somewhere in 'the World' more like a professional than an amateur soloist, attacking her top notes with ease, while Frank A. Clark, Jr., gave evidence that he has the making of a real comedian. The members of the Allen Drill Club went through various military maneuvers with such precision as to win hearty applause.

INCOMPARABLE WILL BE The Clef Club Carnival The Most Stupendous Affair of the Season COME DRESS8ED AS YOU LIKE DR. MANNES CONTINUES (BY LUCIEN H. WHITE) The announcement that David Mannes had resigned from the Music School Settlement in East Third street, with which he had been connected for fifteen years, being its founder, has given rise to the report that he had several his connection with the Music School Settlement for Colored People, of which he was also the initiating spirit. This is not true, and Mr. Mannes has written a letter to J. Rosamond Johnson, supervisor of the Music School Settlement, in which he gives the positive assurance that his interest and active work in behalf of the settlement will be continued. Mr. Johnson has also received a letter from Miss Natalie Curtis, whose researches in musical folk lore, especially of the Indians, has made her a national character and an authority in matters pertaining to music. Miss Curtis takes the opportunity to pay a decided compliment, not so much to the finished results, as to the showing of what is to be achieved in the future. She calls particular attention to the fact that the road to complete success is attended with hard work concentrated application and entails a thorough journey. Referring especially to appearance, she deportment and concentration to work in band, Miss Curtis declares that the chorus, which was making its first public appearance, had found the professional standard. In the light of recent criticisms made by certain disaffected parties who were selfishly inclined to magnify minor faults, discount actual accomplishment and disavow future possibilities, the communications from Dr. Mannes and Miss Curtis are interesting and valuable. The letters are as follows: Copy of Letter from Mr. Mannes. Mr. J. Rosamond Johnson, Musical Director, The Music School Settlement for Colored People and 4 W. 131st street, New York City. My dear Mr. Johnson: I have just heard that a report is being sent to me that I have resigned from the Music School Settlement for Colored People. This is, as you know, a mistake. I have resigned as Director of the Music School Settlement in East Third street with me for five years, but I shall continue for fifteen years, but I shall continue not to remain on the Board of Managers of the Music School Settlement for Colored People, but anticipate having more leisure to devote my interest which are so near and dear to my heart. Sincerely yours, (Signed) DAVID MANNES. I wish to congratulate you on what your chorus has achieved in one short season. In New York association with choral work in the Judge of what you have accomplished, and I think that the chorus acquitted themselves at the concert not only with credit for your work but with earnestness that impressed people, who did not know the Negroes, with a sense of the possibilities of your race. In application in stage equipment I did in centurion, the work I hand your chorus, which had never before appeared in public, had found the true professional standard. all I was impressed with the spirit of your chorus and with their devotion to the cause for which the Music School Settlement has stood. The road to success was one long one and believe that this will in time be widely known for its excellent and conscientious work, for I feel that this body of singers reflects your own life of dedication to service for your race. As a director of the school and a member of the Muscle Committee, I want each chorus to have a sense of their co-operation and loyalty to the cause of a more general recognition of that greater dignity and truer citizenship of the Negro which is the real force in the enterprise at 6 West 131st street. With renewed appreciation of all your own untiring and faithful efforts, believe me. Very sincerely yours, (Signed), NATALIE CURTIS.

When asked was the height of the attack on his bandaged leg by the *Evening Mail*, he quickly replied that he does his running on the track-and not in the papers. Drew is studying law at the University of Southern California and does not expect to, come east again for a year. He got away Monday in order to run on the coast May 8. One is Judged by the Company He Keeps. Never has this been brought home to anyone more forcibly than it was to H. Richardson of St. C. last Sunday. The crowd gave him a big "hand" when he received his silver watch for placing second in the hundred and was greatly surprised when he sought refuge among members of his race. Man Is Subject to His Environment. Cornelius (Kid) Brooks, formerly a quiet Salem-Crescent (if there be such!) since joining the navy has been a real fighting tar. So full of fight is he that he looks for battles when "Uncle-Samuel" is trying to keep peace. He has challenged Darky Griffin for a bout. Local Outdoor Season Opened. The feature of the Monument A. C.'s games over at Celtic Park Sunday, where the local outdoor season was opened, was the classy running of Hannes Kolehmainen, the great Finnish runner. Starting from scratch in the 15 mile race and conceding handicaps up to fifteen minutes, he uncorked a brand of running such as was never seen before around these parts. As he finished the last mile it was found that he had lowered the American record two minutes. It must be said for Aaron Morris, who has proven himself the world's greatest colored distancer, that were not for him Koleg would not have made such good time. Morris received a handicap of eight minutes—samea Charlie Pores of the Milrose A. A. After covering twelve of the fifteen miles, Morris spurred around the track like a quarter-miler, leaving the great Pores a half a lap behind and passing many others as he sped time after time past the applauding grandstand. This proved to be just what the Finn wanted for he immediately pursued the colored boy—however he covered fully two miles before overhauling the flying Aaron. The latter completed the distance, a little more than three-quarters of a mile in front of his record breaking adversary for which he received a silver watch. Bill Murray, Smart Set's track captain, was also a starter in this race but quit after covering twelve miles in good style. This is the same Murray that ran quarter and half miles on local tracks last year. Though only two colored entrants came out for the fifteen mile jaunt, the number entered in the less lengthy events made up for this scarcity. Colored Runners at Princeton. Last Saturday Roy Morse and "Bunk" Jones accompanied one another to Princeton, N. J., where they started from the same mark in the 100 yard dash. Competition was keen but the boys distinguished themselves. Roy Morse taking third in the finals. After the big races these two boys along with the crowd were served lunch in the massive university dining room. They report that the colored PARABLE WILL BE Club Carnival His Affair of the Season DED AS YOU LIKE His Prize Drummers He Payton will be there.
