The New York Age RACE PREJUDICE MET AT CORNELL Colored Athlete from Jamaica, L.I., has Peculiar Experience at Ithaca SHUT OUT OF TRACK MEET Harry C. Arrington, Member of Team from Jamaica High School, is Prevented from Running. WERE TEAMMATES IN PLOT ? Prejudiced Fraternity Refused to Receive Visitor as Guest, Although Entertaining the Two White Boys of the Team—Track Number of Runner Missing. Special to The New York Age. ITHACA, N, Y, May 12—Negro students at Cornell University are very much wrought up over the treatment accorded Harry C. Arrington, of the Jamaica, Long Island, high school, who visited Cornell as a member of the track team from Jamaica school entered in the Cornell Athletic Association track meet held on May 1. Arrington was entered in the 100-yard dash, but in some mysterious way, but evidently through connivance between the two white boys, his fellow members on the Jamaica team, and the members of the Psi Sigma Kappa, at whose fraternity house the Long Island boys were billeted as guests, he failed to secure his track number, or satisfaction concerning it, and thus was prevented from running in the event for which he was entered. Investigation by THE Age correspondent discloses the following facts in the matter. The visiting teams were to be entertained at the different fraternity houses, and the Jamaica team was assigned to the Psi Sigma Kappa, a wealthy organization, thoroughly innoculated with southern prejudice. A member of the fraternity was sent to meet the visiting athletes and when he discovered a colored boy with the team, he politely informed Arrington that his house had made preparation for two men only, but that an effort would be made to secure accommodation for him at one of the local hotels. Teammates Withhold Information Arrington, knowing at once the cause of that action, called up F. G. Downing, a Long Island boy, a student at Cornell, who took him as a guest. When seeking information on the phone from his teammate concerning the trip to the athletic field Arrington was told, that he would be called up shortly before 10 o'clock, the time for the meet. This was not done, so the colored boy made his way to the athletic field. Finding the director of the meet, Ashmead, inquiry was made about his track number. Ashmead informed him that, the number had been given to the boy in charge of the Jamaica team. The team captain, when found, told Arrington to get on the side line and he would talk to him later. Arrington, in his running togs, made repeated efforts to get into the meet, but could get neither his number or satisfaction. Ashmead has been interviewed by THE AGE correspondent, and he expressed surprise that Arrington did not run, saying repeatedly that he had certainly given the boy's track number to the Jamaica team captain. The reputation borne by the fraternity chapter along the color line, makes it very evident that pressure was brought to bear on the two white boys, guests at the fraternity house, to enter the conspiracy to prevent Arrington from competing. Athletic Association is Not Blamed. It is not thought that blame attaches to the Cornell Athletic Association, since colored athletes have competed here a number of times, have been guests at other fraternity houses, and have been treated with the utmost courtesy and consideration. Granger, of Dartmouth, has competed here; and was a guest of the Psi Upsilon. Jackson, of Harvard, was a guest of Alpha Delta, and Jenkins, another high school boy from Long Island, competed in the meet last fall and was a guest at once of the fraternity hostage. Arrington was entered in the 100-yard dash and on the field stood a good show of winning. The week before the had run second in the same event at the New York University, meet. in 10.5, and this event at Cornell was won in 11.5. WILBERFORGE. GETS LARGE APPROPRIATION Special to the New York Age. Winterbridge, O., May 11.—Appropriation amounting to $268,088.96 have been made by the Ohio Legislature for Wit- hill University for this year, and 1916 the appropriation for this year is $133, and for next year $144,088.93. President Scarborough announces that the will be used, aside from cur- rtesy offices, for the erection, of seve- ral buildings, including a gym- museum, recreation building, hospital and retail shops. It is planned to erect next year a new building to cost $30,000. These additions will make Wilberforce the best equipped institution in the country, excepting Hampton and Tuskegee. ADVICE TO MINISTERS GIVEN BY DR. ROBERTS Dr. E. P. Roberts in speaking at the ministers' meeting at St. Mark's Church, Monday afternoon, laid down the following rules: Don't visit the contagious diseases. Don't stay too long. "Don't pray lengthy prayers. Don't read two and three chapters of the Bible. Don't enter the sick room when hungry or feeling unwell. The doctor said, in part: "Ministers should always ascertain from the physician in charge the exact nature of the disease and under no circumstance enter the sick room if the patient has a highly contagious disease, such as diphtheria, measles and scarlet fever. "The ministers should be very cautious in conversation. Be pleasant and give cheer rather than gloom. In reading the Bible be careful in the selection of the passages of scripture. Passages that do not give the patient hope have no business being read in the sick room. Much good can be rendered the patient by suggestion. Upon receiving good news a sick patient has been known to get up and walk while bad news has caused the immediate death of a patient. Visit Many Tubercular Patients. "Many of the sick a minister visits are tuberculer patients and many times the sick room is fifth and dirty. If in good health, the minister runs no risk in visiting tuberculer patients. But the minister should insist that there be plenty of air. He should seat himself so that the wind will blow from him to the patient rather than from the patient to the minister." In speaking of personal hygiene the doctor said that the Negro ministers as a class were short lived and paid the least attention to health. Ministers sadly neglect themselves. The minister should always wear clean collars, shirts and cafts, should be neat in appearance, with shoes polished, clothes cleaned and pressed. Because the minister has to act as minister, judge, court and physician it is easy, for him to overtax himself. To remedy this he must insist on logical, regular hours. Take time for rest. It is much better to take one week in February and two in August than it is to take three in August. When taking a rest it is best to give up all work and have absolute quiet. During the first week don't do any walking. The rest time can be best spent in bed. The doctor cited the case of a minister who spent his vacation writing hundreds of cards and letters to friends in the city. Very little rest did this minister get. Dr. Roberts said that the ministers and doctors can do much to better conditions. If upon entering a home there is no air the minister should ask or hint that the window be raised. There is no disease known where the windows must be kept down. In fact most diseases can be cured by fresh air and plenty of sunshine. Attention was called to the fact that the churches should be properly ventilated and that all the rules of sanitation should be strictly observed. Dr. Roberts suggested that the Negro churches set aside the collection of one Sunday during the year for a fund for the hospitals of the city. Negroes are admitted to all the hospitals and treatment is fairly decent. The white churches have done this for some time past. ELEVEN FORMER SLAVES DINED BY OWNER'S SONS petial to The New York Arg. MARSHALLVILLE, Ga, May 11—Eleven aged Negroes, six women, and five men, former slaves, were guests at dinner on May 8 in the home of E. B. Baldwin, whose father was the owner of the slaves. Baldwin and his brother, W. P. Baldwin, put on aprons and acted as waiters. After the ex-slaves were ushered into the dining room and seated at the table, W. P. Baldwin offered a prayer of thanksgiving! The old folks made speeches, one of the oldest women giving a strong temperance talk. After the dinner was over one of the men' expressed the sentiments of all when he said: "If E'f allers felt as good as I do now I'd nebber want ter go ter hebben." The dinner was prepared by the best cook Mr. Baldwin could find, in South Georgia. CALLED OUT MILITIA TO PROTECT FLORIDA MAN Special to The New York Age. NEW HAVEN, CONN., May 12.—The death of Alonzo R. Jones, which occurred Monday, May 3, recalls the fact that on July-4, 1892, he was a major in the state militia of Florida, stationed in Jacksonville, and when a lynching was threatened, called out the militia to protect the Negro, Reid, who had killed a white man. Major Jones came to New Haven shortly afterwards, and has been prominently identified with race interests. He was a trustee of the Haven Memorial Church until its disbandment. He had been one of the wealthiest Negroes in Florida, but lost a large part of his property in the Jacksonville fire which destroyed that city. WHITES GET LIFE TERM FOR SLAYING NEGRO Special to The New York Age. LITTLE RUSK, M.K., Amy H.—W. R. Fisher, Ashley Ward and Andrew Holmes, white, each about twenty-five years old, to-day were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Angus Neely, an aged Negro, near Wrightsville, December 15, 1914. The evidence was entirely circumstantial and robbery was given as the motive. These sentences, court officials say, mark an epoch in Arkansas, criminal jurisprudence. SOUTHERN WHITES AND BLACKS SOLVE PROBLEM Southern Sociological Congress Grapples with Great Race Problem. EQUAL JUSTICE IS SOLUTION In Contrast to Race Friction in North Comes Attempt by Best Element of Both Races in South to Devise Ways of Solving Race Problem. Special to The New York Age. Houston, Tex., May 11. In contrast to the racial friction being engendered in certain northern cities by such agencies as the vicious moving picture, "The Birth of a Nation," comes the attempt being made in the south by the best element of both races to devise ways of solving the race problem. There closes today in this city the fourth annual session of the Southern Sociological Congress, which is grappling with the social problems that confront the south. Its membership comprises the leading white and colored people of this section, and the constitution adopted at its organization at Nashville in 191 sets forth as one of its objects "the solving of the race question in a spirit of helpfulness to the Negro and of equal justice to both races." "The Conservation of Health," was the only subject considered at this meeting. The subject was divided into six main heads: Public Health Department; Moral Health; Health of Children; Mental Health; The Church as the Conserver of Social Health; and Health and Race Relations. To Better Race Relations. In the section on Health and Rate Relations the topics considered were: "A Survey of Progress for the Year"; "The Negro in Relation to Sanitation"; "The Causes of Unusual Mortality Among Negroes"; "Recreation and Health in Rural Communities"; "The Rural School as a Centre for a Health Campaign"; "Health Problems of the Negro Church"; "The Negro Woman and the Health Problem"; "The Health of the Negro and the South's Labor Problem"; "Is the Negro Dying Out? Who Carries?"; "Health the Basics of Race Prosperity"; "Hope, Essential for Moral and Physical Health." For three days between three and four hundred of the best white and colored people of the south considered these various questions, and the results are bound to be far-reaching. It will be impossible for the people in this conference not to carry back to their respective communities ideas which will work out the betterment of health conditions among the Negroes. The sanitary needs of the race were brought out and it was clearly shown that the entire community was affected by conditions in any one section. Race Relations Section Always Interesting. The Congress is divided into six departments, Public Health; Courts and Prisons; Child Welfare; Associated Charities; the Church and Social Service; and Race Relations. At all the sessions the Race Relations department has proved to be one of the most interesting. The discussion of problems affecting both races is carried on a spirit of harmony and helpfulness, bringing-out methods of co-operation in solving the larger questions. Economic progress, religious life, education, crime, sanitation, housing conditions and health are discussed in a spirit of constructive cooperation. Thus while in some sections of the north, east and west race prejudice is being stirred up, in the south is seen this serious attempt by leading white and colored citizens to solve this intricate and many-sided problem. FORCED WHITE MAN TO WED HER—BLACK CHILD Specht to The New York Age. KINGSTON, N. C. May 11. A white girl 20 years old, connected by blood to the leading families of Green county, was recently awarded to one of the most prominent young white men in this section, compelling him to marry her a charge of seduction. She gave birth to a baby a few days ago. When the physician examined the infant, he discovered that it bore evidence of Negro parentage. The doctor accused the girl of miscegenation and she confessed that Simon Carraway, a black man, a farm hand on her mother's farm, was the father of her child. Carraway has disappeared, but the authorities declare they will protect him, and are looking for him. He is 35, and the head of a family. He is charged with parapage, in connection with the girl. The citizens of the neighborhood say that the girl must leave the community and they will pay her expenses away, it is reported. TO SCHOLARSHIP AND PREMIUM APPLICANTS. Notice is hereby given to all persons who have made application to work for Scholarships or Premiums under the New York Age Scholarship Plan, that literature giving complete information concerning the plan will be mailed from the Age office or Friday of this week. If not received within a reasonable time, kindly communicate with this office. PULLMAN OFFICIALS TIPPED AS ARE PORTERS The statement made by Robert T. Lincoln, chairman of the board of directors of the Pullman Co., that the company has been a large element of uplift for the Negro, has attracted much attention. The reference made by Mr. Lincoln to the tipping system, which he called "an old custom," but an annoying arrangement, has called forth some interesting rejoinders. George Young, proprietor of Young's Book Exchange, 135 West 135th street, for a number of years one of the most efficient and capable men in the service of the Pullman Co., takes up the cudgels in behalf of the porter and declares that the porter is not the only beneficiary of the tipping system. On the contrary, Mr. Young declares that conductors, Pullman agents, and in some instances, even district superintendents, accept tips from Pullman patrons. Race prejudice is given as a reason why many Negro men seek service with the company, which requires the applicants to be possessed of a good education. "Almost any ordinary porter could pass the civil service examination," says Mr. Young, "but the Pullman Company's policy seems to be promotion for white men only." Referring to Mr. Lincoln's statement that tips are usually given for services not connected with the Pullman Co., the latter shows that the company rules prohibit solicitation of compensation for services rendered, but that a failure to comply with a passenger's wishes is always taken up by the Pullman Co., and not always to the porter's good. Mr. Young's letter is as follows: To the Editor of The Age: We read with interest the report of the Industrial Commission regarding the Pullman Company and the Pullman porters. There is no secret as to the length of time colored men have been employed on sleeping cars. They have been faithful to the public and to the company for half a century, but have long registered a peaceful protest as to the company. As has been stated, typhoon the sleeping car; it is an old custom. Many changes have taken place since that time. Originally the porter was the "full supply" of all things. The dining car, the buffet car, ice cream and cake, all were supplied by the porter. The proceeds of these sales with progress these things were reduced a system and made a source of wealth for the railroad and sleeping car companies. The old time porter, only needed to know how, to make a bed, or run for a newspaper, but now, no man's application, unless he has had a fair education, almost any ordinary porter could pass the civil service examination. Promotion for White Man Only. Because of prejudice many a man qualified for better work is forced to this-calling, waiting and praying that the moral conscience of this great company be rewarded. We mean service, not color, but the Pullman company's policy seems to be "promotion for white men only." Mr. Lincoln claims that the system has always been a source of discrimination in life. Why didn't he offer remedy? Why? Why? Can there be any just low prohibiting the porter from accepting tips, and allowing other employees. Pullman conductors, agents, and sometimes district superintendent, to accept tips from Pullman patrons. All of these receive a living pay from the company. "Tipping" is not confined to the colored race, as applied by Mr. Lincoln. Mrs Lincoln stated that the porter received tips for service not included or connected with the Pullman Co. Then she no longer the laborer to enjoy his "fruitful" Why? Geniusity of the public to the porter for the benefit of a rich corporation; Company Rules and Passengers' Wishes The book of rules says regarding porter's service: "Shoes shinned should be taken from one section only at a time, cleaned, polished and returned," etc. The porter must furnish his own shoe and situate it. The book of rules also says: "Employees shouldhibited from soliciting any compensation from passengers for service rendered." Ordinarily, the passenger feels when he has bought a ticket for a Pullman car, that it entitles him to have his shoes polished, clothes brushed or any other favor he wishes. Any neglect of these rules, these wishes will be taken up by the Pullman Co. not always to the good of the porter. Mr. Lincoln speaks of his regard for the Negro race as represented by the Pullman porter. He claims the next greatest advantages have been in the professions. Yes, and many now high in professional life climbed up by the way of the Pullman Co. "Climbed," did not term it "formal," all night since the learned counsel is referred to him as the "coon" and climbing is the mode of locomotion of that animal. But after all the porter belongs to a great race, a serving race, a race not ashamed of service, but like other human beings he enjoys being appreciated. The Negro race is cheerful and delicately in service, thinking it noble to serve another in hearing the Cross of the Master or carrying a grip at Grand Central Station, N. X., or a "satchel porter" in Georgia. We hope the spirit of appreciation will be awakened by the Industrial Commission in the Pullman Company. GEO. YOUNG. NEGRO WOMAN WINS SUIT FROM TRACTION CO. Special in The New York Aero. CHESTER, P. May 12. The Southern Pennsylvania Traction Co. will have to pay the award of $2,500, won by Rachel J. Fields, a Negro woman, of Chester, who fell in getting off a train, injuring her knee. The traction company appealed for a new trial, but the court rendered an opinion on Monday, refusing the request. Bishop Henry McNeal Turner Died May 8, while Vinding Windsor, Ontario, Can. 1st NEGRO ARMY CHAPLAIN Was Appointed by Lincoln as Chaplain of Negre Troops Enlisted During Civil War—Distinguished in Church Work—Funeral at Atlanta, Ga., May 19. Special to The New York Age. ATLANTA, GA., May 11.—The funeral of Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, senior bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, who died at Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Saturday, May 8, will take place at Big Bethel Church, this city, on Wednesday, May 19. The remains will lay in state the day preceding the funeral. Nearly all of the bishops of the church, the general officers and many ministers are expected to be in attendance. Bishop Turner was born in South Carolina in July, 1833. He learned his alphabet when he was nine years of age and while working for a firm of lawyers at Abbeville, S. C., was taught to read. He studied, under the tutelage of his employers, history, literature and other subjects. When quite a young man he was ordained a minister of the M. E. Church, South. He later joined the African Methodist Episcopal Church and was appointed to a charge in Baltimore by the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne. While in Baltimore he studied languages and the higher branches. First Colored Army Chaplain. During part of the Civil War he was pastor of what is now known as Metropolitan Church, Washington. President Lincoln appointed him the first colored chaplain in the Negro troops enlisted during the war. When the colored troops were established after the war, President Johnson appointed him a chaplain in the regular army. He soon resigned, however, and organized the work of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Georgia. He was elected manager of the publication department of the church in 1876, serving until his elevation to the bishopric in 1880. He organized the work of the denomination in Africa, as well as annual conferences in this country. He had served as a member of the legislature in Georgia and of constitutional conventions in that state. He was con- Do You Want An Read The New York IF YOU ARE REALLY IN EDUCATION, THE PROVIDE.

BOARD OF EDUCATION TO HEAR DR. WASHINGTON The members of the New York Board of Education and superintendents and teachers in the public schools of Greater New York have extended a special invitation to' Dr. Booker T. Washington to deliver an address in the auditorium of the Washington Irving high school on Friday evening, May 14. The New York Board of Education, in extending this invitation to Dr. Washington, are taking advantage of the opportunity to increase interest and attract attention to the value of industrial training in the public schools: It is a tremendous problem to give to eight hundred thousand children in the New York schools any kind of industrial training, and it is thought that Dr. Washington's visit at this time will be very timely.

W. Anderson, Retiring Collector of Internal Revenue and Prominent Race Man Borough Presidents, ex-State Treasurers, ex-U. S. Assistant Attorney General, Ministers, Lawyers, Doctors and Leaders, Black and White, Unite in Remarkable Gathering. A tremendous tribute from the heart and affections of the citizenry of the State of New York of both races was that paid to the Hon. Charles William Anderson, lately retired from the office of Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York, when two hundred citizens and twice two hundred ladies, assembled at Manhattan Casino on Tuesday night, May 11, to tender a testimonial dinner in honor of Mr. Anderson's distinguished record in the various offices of public trust which he has held in the past twenty-one years. The most prominent men of the State were present, and many of the most prominent leaders in political and business life of the United States sent letters and telegrams of regret and congratulation. The Hon. Addison B. Colvin, former treasurer of the State of New York, now a banker and railroad president, came from his home at Glens Falls, N. Y., for the dinner. The Hon. Marcus M. Marks, president of the Borough of Manhattan, and the Hon. Douglas Mathewson, president of the Borough of the Bronx, were seated at the guest table. The Hon. William H. Lewis, former Assistant United States Attorney-General, now practicing his profession in Boston, came to New York to attend, and among the other prominent men seated at the guests' table were the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the Quarterly Review of the A. M. E. Church; the Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop, pastor of St. Philip's P. E. Church; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of The Crisis; J. Frank Wheaton, attorney-at-law; Fred R. Moore, editor of The NEW York Age, late minister to the Republic of Liberia, and the guest of honor, the Hon. Charles W. Anderson. The Hon. James W. Johnson, late consul to Corinto, Nicaragua; now contributing editor to The Age, presided and served as toastmaster. All Factions Unite in Tribute. The men were seated around small tables, seating six, and the tables covered more than half of the spacious dancing floor of the casino while the ladies, arrayed in the glorious panoply of spring costumes, occupied the boxes in the balcony. A striking feature of the testimonial was the coming together of all so-called factions in the deserved tribute to a deserving man. The different schools of thought among Negro leaders were represented by the leaders themselves and by their most enthusiastic followers. There were many comments on this fact, and the opinion was advanced by, some of those present that it betokened the development of an influence that would bring the Negroes of the country into one united body, free from personal prejudices and alignments of grounds of personal leadership. That this is not a mere chimera is shown by the utterances of the speakers of the evening, who, themselves, were representatives of many divergent trends of thought. With the serving of coffee and the lighting of cigars the speaking began. Prior to this, however, during hulls in the serving of the many-course dinner with which the diners were regaled, letters and telegrams from many prominent men, some unavoidably absent, were read by Sol Johnson and Harry T. Burleigh. The names signed to the communications, if listed, would form a reliable "Who's Who" in national affairs. Among those sending regrets were Dr. Booker T. Washington, Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, the Hon. Job Hedges of New York; the Hon. Fred erick C. Tanner, chairman of the Republican State Committee and a member of the Constitutional Convention now sitting; Hon. Wm. R. Wilcox, ex-chairman of the Public Service Commission; Oswald Garrison-Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post; Hon. John E. Milholland, the Rev. Stephen S. Wise and Lafayette F. Gleason, secretary of the Republican State Committee. Speakers Pay Splendid Tributes. Toastmaster Johnson, with snave dignity, was inimitable in his introduction of the various speakers, and presided with grace and efficiency. The Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop responded to the first call, and felicitiously sold of his personal acquaintance, first, with Charlie, then Charlie Anderson, progressing-to Charles W.

The selection of the campus at the Branch Normal College for the match at Merrill High School last Friday night. Merrill High School and Monk's Addition Braves played a draw game at Branch Normal College Field day. Both The Hon., Adelson B. Colvin, former late treasurer, said that one of the most pleasing memories of his public career is contained in the fact that twenty-one years ago he appointed Mr. Anderson as chief clerk of the treasury department, the first office Mr. Anderson had held. The audience was kept roarous by Mr. Colvin's recital of many amorous incidents connected with Mr. Anderson's service in the treasury department, including also happenings on joint campaigning trips, especially in the northern part of the State. He said that was much better to have a little taffy while living than a whole lot of "capity" when dead. The Rev. Reverdy Ransom struck a keynote when he declared that he had come to pay a tribute to Mr. Anderson, not because of retirement, but because he was in a transition state to higher achievements and honors. The future of the race politically was dwelt upon, and eloquent and forceful appeal made to the men present to unite under a common baner, laying aside allegiance to partisan leadership. The prediction was made that if this was done, the race would not only adhere and state legislators, but representatives in the national Congress. His suggestion was given the earliness endorsement of all present, especially when he referred to Mr. Anderson is the potential candidate for these honors. Great Ovation for Guest of Honor. "The guest of honor, introduced at this time, was given a great ovation. Toastmaster Johnson's introduction was interrupted when he mentioned Mr. Anderson as "Our Charlie." Before he could proceed further the men spontaneously broke out into the mood of "Ole's Jolly Good Fellow," which he mannually skipped that "If's All Right." Mr. Johnson finally succeeded, in concluding his introduction and presenting Mr. Anderson to the assembled guests. Again did the audience burst into enthusiastic applause, and the guest of honor could, for a space, only stand and bow his acknowledgment for the lows: Mr. Anderson's Responses. Mr. Toastmaster, Gentlemen and Ladies: It is a great pleasure to be your guest pleasure if I could feel that I really deserved the generous words which the various speakers have used, and the latter pleasure if I could feel that I have coved them. This is of itself enough to reward me for more than I have done, and to encourage me in a much more-or-derly case than that which I have recently laid aside. Were it not for the fact that I knew you an accountant of my stewardship, I would have been more grateful to Othello who said, "I've done the state some service and know it." No more of that. But you have been good enough to be involved in preliminary politics and in public office, and while it may not be in good, in truly good taste, for me to amuse my own, two or three things I think I ought to say. In politics I have always tried to keep on the clean side of issues within my own sphere, and I have always fairly and squarely. I have always felt the utmost scorn for whatever was mean or cowardly and for everything that was faithless or dishonorable in political con- In public office I have striven to keep my service strictly public. I have never been in the remotest way, with my performance of any public duty. I have never been engaged in any private work, except in any part of interest in any contract which I have given out as Collector, or as a member or any if the many civil committees on which Those of you who read the sights of the must have observed the prevalent tendency on the part of the public officers to owe their duty to the doctrine of pure hatred. "Governor Hughes stated the case fully and renchantly, when he said in his speech of acceptance: 'We have a responsible criticism. But efforts to make discontent serve self-interest, to create class hatred, to disport the good and exaggerate the will, to verisify the injustice and tend to anarchy. When a public official lives up to this doctrine, he deserves success and is worthy of our support. But if he abandons the law, he loses the shirkings from the test. If he stops to count the cost, if he keeps the word of promise to the war and breaks it to the heart, if he forgets to help, he forgets to help with official stakes, then default indeed is terrible and he will never look on victory again. It is ours my friends, to see it to, that these men live up to their promises; that they meet their deed, not stalk with double tongue. The Race Must Stand Together. It is a recurrencecence of the feeling of the old copperhead days, and some of the adolescents are, like homing pigeons, taking flight to the camp that reminds them of 64. Let us put an end to this here, and let us not forget our friends. Let us resolutely, but not rudely, get before ourselves the great task of defeating this evil propaganda. We will have to fight with our fathers' fought for it in war. That duty is our noblest heritage and our greatest hope. Let us fight the good light or the darkness, the fathers did, and remove we shall win. Personal Qualities of a Leader. It was a difficult task to attempt, a speech following Mr. Anderson's conclusion, but some of the best thoughts of the evening were brought out by the speakers and this part of the pro- giam. Dr. W. L. B. Dubois said that while an elegant or great achievement the making of personal graces and magnanimity and fail to attract their fellow great personals; others, with a superabundance of the good fellow quantity, achieve nothing. The guest of honor, courage, said Mr. Dubois, combined to a remarkable degree both quantities, and that explained the tendering of this great personal tribute. In place of Bishop Alexander Walters, who was absent, the riot, Dougast matrineon, president of the Borough of the Brooks, was introduced. Referring to a remark by the guest of honor that wrote he was a consistent Republican, he was first a Negro, Mr. Matnewson and he wanted to add to the belief that even above the race the Mr. Anderson was first of all an American citizen. Next speaker was George E. Wibecan of Brooklyn. Fred R. Moore, editor of THE ACE, declared that in his political career he considered Charlie Anderson pre-eminently the leader. He scored the Negroes who kowtowed to white politicians, receiving recognition only when minor jobs were to be dispensed. He called for united effort from the Negro voters and loyal support for Mr. Anderson as a faithful and unsullied leader, Counselor J. Frank Wheaton was programmed as the last speaker, and he was given an enthusiastic reception. He asked that his time be given to the Hon. William H. Lewis of Boston, former Assistant United States District Attorney, who was introduced by the toastmaster. It was a remarkable tribute to the effectiveness of Mr. Lewis as a speaker and thinker that, worthstanding the lateness of the hour, nearly 2 o'clock, the weariness of the diners, who had been seated since 9 o'clock, and the impatience of the ladies, who were wanting to be given the freedom of the lower door, harboring anticipations of pleasure in the mystic maze of the modern dance, it was but a few seconds before the attention of the audience had been caught by the speaker, and to the end he held it unwaveringly. He referred to the efforts being made in New York to stop the vicious picture film, "The Birth of a Natron," and said that the same fight was being made in Boito-He. He gave the information that the State Legislature had passed a law making it possible to put a stop to such prejudice-engendering presentations, and said that the Democratic Governor would sign the bill. At the conclusion of Mr. Lewis' remarks, Toastmaster Johnson invited the ladies to join the gentlemen on the main floor, and to music furnished by the New Amsterdam orchestra. James C. Roffield, leader, dancing was enjoyed until an early morning hour. The Dinner. Committee and Subscribers. The elaborate dinner was served by C. E. Clagett, caterer, whose large crew of waiters gave most satisfactory service.

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

THE ANDERSON DINNER The dinner given by the colored citizens of Greater New York to the Hon. Charles W. Anderson was a splendid testimonial in honor of him as an official, and it was also a fine tribute to him as a man. The spirit that pervaded the great gathering indicated clearly-that there was present not only a feeling of pride in his exceptional record as a public servant, but also a feeling of warm personal admiration. The dinner showed all of this and something in addition. The sentiments expressed by the various speakers, and the manner in which those sentiments were received showed that the representative colored men of this city are awakening to a realization of our political situation as a race. That there is a growing spirit of aggression. Such a spirit can secure for us in New York what it has secured for the race in Chicago. BISHOP TURNER The death of Bishop Henry M. Turner takes away almost the last of a remarkable group of men. That group of men that bridged for the race the dark chasm between Emancipation and the present day. They were all men of exceptional strength. Men who by sheer force of character and with few opportunities rose to leadership. As we look back we can see that their leadership was not always faultless, not always the wisest, but when we consider all of the conditions under which they labored we cannot but wonder that they achieved so well as they did. They held the race together religiously and socially. They kept it from falling into chaos. Among these men Bishop Turner was far from being the least. His strongest trait was his intrepid courage. His name and his work will not soon be forgotten. PARAGRAPHS Jacob Hi. Schiff announced at the annual meeting of the Educational Alliance that the West beyond the Mississippi river was ready to welcome 2000,000 Jewish immigrants from the war-torn countries. The European Jews would find the West a land of greater promise and opportunity. 2000,000 more Jews settle in this country; it will eventually be the cause of bettering conditions for the Negro. "A dispatch from London says that the British Government has taken official cognizance of charges against the Rev. Mr. Booth, an American Negro preacher connected with the Seventh Day Adventists. Mr. Booth is charged with having played a part in the recent unrest in the city of New York. We have no details of the charges against the Rev. Mr. Booth, but we do know that an intelligent Negro doesn't need to do much in South Africa to be guilty of "inciting rebellion." In fact, intelligent, well-dressed Negroes from other parts of the world are not freely allowed to go into British South Africa, where they are not allowed to appear and appearance might have the effect of "inciting" the natives. This seems to us the most ironical thing in civilization, white men settling in Africa, and barring black men out. It must be admitted that Robert T. Lincoln, of the Pulman Car Company, in his recent treatise on wages and tips, played a role that did not seem to fit the son of the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. THE U. S.

The destruction of the Maine in the harbor of Habana precipitated the Spanish-American war; but the thought of going to war with Spain never for a moment caused this country any degree of uneasiness; the war with Spain was little more than practice for the army, experience for the militia, and a holiday for the Rough Riders. On the other hand, the barest possibility of the United States becoming involved in the present world conflagration is enough to make the most militaristic of fire caters pause and take thought. Feeling is tense, but the country is not hysterical, it is patiently waiting to see what the President will say. The President in his speech in Philadelphia last Monday night sounded the note on which his policy can be based; he will undoubtedly strive to maintain peace at any point. This course will be gratifying to a great many timid souls, but many others, who do not in the least desire war, it will be disappointing and distasteful. There are many whose desire and prayer is that there be no war, yet they do not wish to see the nation take a stand that is cowardly and ignoble. There are many who feel that the United States should take no active part in this war, but still that there rests upon this Government a certain moral obligation to make strong and open protest against what is brutal and inhuman beyond the general demands of warfare. That there is some such moral obligation it is difficult to deny. We cannot completely throw off this obligation by saying that the affairs of England or France or Russia are no concern of ours. To pass along the street and see a bully beating an old woman imposes the moral duty to interfere. We cannot shirk that duty by saying that the old woman is not our mother or our aunt or our grandmother. Yet, what are we going to do about it? In these days of "scrapes of paper," broken treaties and neutrality violations, words of protest seem nothing more than an idle waste of time and effort. Still, it appears, there is no action that we can take. If we should go so far as to declare war against Germany, how could we carry the declaration into effect? It would be impossible to attack her with our navy; if such a thing were possible, the British navy would have done it long ago. The effect of an army that we could add to the allied forces on the western battle front would be absolutely infinitesimal. Perhaps the only practical thing we could do would be to join in the allied attack on the Dardanelles. But there is another element in the problem. If our so-called German-American citizens have been so obstreperous and vindictive because, this Government has not openly sided with Germany in the present struggle, what would be their attitude, what would be their course of action if this country were actually at war with their beloved Fatherland? There are said to be some 20,000,000 of them in the United States, and under present conditions they do constitute a problem. A problem more serious than the Negro problem. And it is ever to the credit of the Negro that a problem of this kind—a problem of disloyalty and treason—he has never created. The whole question is critical and delicate. And if the President can steer the country clear of war, while maintaining national dignity and self-respect, his place among the country's statesman will be secure. DR.·DERNBURG'S DICTUM. drawing brief paragraph is taken from a book in Cleveland a day or two ago by Dr. D. A. M. M. a mouthpiece of Germany in this court. Dernburg went on to say that England must give that by international agreement the use of colonies must be prohibited. "Dernburg's decision that England must give us we are little concerned because we feel take care of her end of the argument by international agreement the use of colonies must be prohibited" we are concerned because we are particularly anxious to see in wars of white nations or yellow nations war of black nations—but we are because we are on general principles oppose we fought it when it was merely the reins insignificant bureau chief in our own men so much the stronger will we fight a public segregation by "international agris Dr. Dernburg know at the time he was that the United States was standing face of war with Germany? And does he army of the United States four regiments any chance this country should be able the Doctor will learn that the brave countrymen would have to meet would, and many more like them. The following brief paragraph is taken from the report of a speech made in Cleveland a day or two ago by Dr. Dernberg, known as the unofficial mouthpiece of Germany in this country: Dr. Dernburg went on to say that England must give up her rule of the sea, and that by international agreement the use of colored troops in war of white nations must be prohibited. With Dr. Dernburg's decision that England must give up her rule of the sea we are little concerned because we feel that England can fairly well take care of her end of the argument. But when he decrees that "by international agreement the use of colored troops in wars of white nations must be prohibited" we are compelled to take notice. And not because we are particularly anxious to see colored troops have to fight in wars of white nations or yellow nations—and much less in any possible war of black nations—but we are compelled to take notice because we are on general principles opposed to segregation. We have fought it when it was merely the result of an order issued by an insignificant bureau chief in our own government departments; then so much the stronger will we fight when it is proposed to establish segregation by "international agreement." Did not Dr. Dernburg know at the time he was making his idiotic speech that the United States was standing face to face with the possibility of war with Germany? And does he not know that of the small army of the United States four regiments are colored troops? If by any chance this country should be drawn into war with Germany the Doctor will learn that the bravest and hardest fighters his countrymen would have to meet would be these same colored troops, and many more like them. 20TH CENTURY CIVILIZATION ors of the European war have steadily reached the tragic climax of the des great merchant ship, filled with non-con and children, sent to the bottom with deed ever committed by Barbary Pirat human brutality. ass for the German Government to seek able of international law, so well known at a merchant vessel, even when carry it be destroyed without notice and witrew and passengers. int vessel captured by the enemy is a into a port controlled by the enemy, practicable or inconvenient, he may die. The horrors of the European war have steadily mounted up until they have reached the tragic climax of the destruction of the Lusitania. A great merchant ship, filled with non-combatants, carrying women and children, sent to the bottom without a moment's warning. No deed ever committed by Barbary Pirates could exceed this act of inhuman brutality. It is useless for the German Government to seek to justify itself. It is a principle of international law, so well known as never to be questioned, that a merchant vessel, even when carrying contraband of war, cannot be destroyed without notice and without regard for the safety of crew and passengers. A merchant vessel captured by the enemy is a legal prize, and may be taken into a port controlled by the enemy. If the enemy finds this impracticable or inconvenient, he may destroy the vessel, after making arrangements for the safety of crew and passengers; but there is nothing in the usages of war to justify the instant sinking of such a ship. There is no extenuation, much less justification, in the fact that warning was given; in fact, warning makes the deed appear more atrocious because it shows that it was premeditated and afterwards executed with full knowledge of what was being done. It is as though a black hand should send out a letter of warning and afterwards step out from a dark corner and stab his victim in the back. When two armed ships meet and engage in battle, if one of them is destroyed-it is a matter of glory for the other; there are the conditions of a fair fight; this cannot be said of the sinking of the Lusitania. Because Germany has not the sea power necessary to blockade an enemy's ports and capture his merchant vessels, she is not justified in using methods of assassination. What is the truth that rises stark naked from out all the savagery and brutality of this war? It is the fact that twentieth century civilization, the so-called white man's civilization, is nothing more than a thin veneer, and underneath this thin veneer is the same cruel barbarism that Caesar found two thousand years ago. Twentieth century civilization may be said to have been "made in Germany." It is largely the result of German scholarship, German science, German research, and German efficiency. And it is in a large measure typical of Germany. Its foundation stone is not religion, not philosophy, not art, not human brotherhood; its foundation stone is force, brute force magnified to the highest power by engines of war and destruction. What does this twentieth century civilization possess that gives its originators the right to boast that it is superior to Chinese civilization? It has reared greater cities, provided quicker transportation, fostered wider commerce, made knowledge more general and existence more strenuous, but has it more completely fulfilled human well-being? Has it made mankind any better? Has it made men more honest? Has it made them more considerate of each others' rights? Has it made them more able to subdue and overcome their evil passions? Has it deepened their real wisdom and heightened their absolute happiness? The answer is NO! BALTIMORE, MD. Judge Robert H.

We hear much these days about colored people not patronizing colored business enterprises— The truth of the matter is that many Colored business men have neither kept pace with the broadening and discriminating tastes of the Colored customer nor with the specialized efforts of their white competitors. "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." The difference between the business which is "mighty fine" and "just so-so" is the difference in merchandising methods. We can help you to put your business into the "mighty fine" class.

Don't forget the Old Rose Room and the Beef Steak Garret 24-3mo EVEN, the daily press has found it a herculean task to make Jesie Willard, the new heavyweight champion, a big drawing card on the stage, and although the scribes have used up tons of paper and gallons of ink in their endeavor to mould the nuglist into a box-office attraction, it is doubtful if his appearance would create an unusual stir at a movie show, especially if a Charlie Chaplin film was being featured. Most of the white writers have become discouraged and have come to the conclusion that using up columns of matter in boosting Willard is a waste of time, energy and money. The people will not enthuse over Willard, refuse to O THE MUSICIAN MARIE LUCAS Leader of Lafayette. Theatre Orchestra go to theatres in large numbers to see him, and those who get a peep at him while he goes through his stage performance think less of him when he finishes than before. The following significant admission that Willard is a frost on the stage was made by Fred Keats in the Evening Sun Tuesday of this week: The days when a boxer could make big money on the stage have passed, judging from the experience of Jess Willard, who has been a frost wherever he has appeared. If Willard, by defeating Johnson, did more for boxing than any other man, is a failure; the lesser lights are not likely to do better unless, like Willie Ritchie, Jimmy Britt and Jim Corbett, they have talent in other directions. be. for obvious reason color line. But Willard would draw the color arena overlook this impulse in so doing they injure and lessen, instead of in it. Usually the after tree, baseball game or perhaps on the amount played. That is why a was always in evidence Jack Johnson figured with him. Now that the white awakened from their d that Willard will not m the stage, as they first public will be surfeite On the stage Willard is lost. He cannot dance like Ritchie, tell stories like Corbett and Britt, or punch the bag in spectacular fashion like Bob Fitzshimmons. He is merely there to be gazed upon like a freak in the circus. Nowadays ring followers see so much boxing that the mere sight of a champion has ceased to attract. Willard recently joined a Wild West outfit and now rides a bronco and swings a lariat. He may be the best man in the ring, which given him something to do with his hands; but it is evident that the optimistic predictions that he would reap a fortune on the stage were all wrong. When the Willard-Johnson match was made it was predicted that a victory for the white man would be worth at least a half a million, those who were snapped off by the battles pointed out that stage engagement alone would not Willard so much money that the men behind him could afford to buy out Johnson. The sequel shows that those predictions were away off, although they appeared most reasonable at the time. In the stage, there is the best of evidence that he will not be a financial failure in the ring. He may not make, that half million, but it will be made by actual fighting. Willard is fortunate to have such an applause challenger as Jim Coffey, the Irishman continues to win all the matches late in the summer will be a far bigger card than the Havana battle proved to be. Fred Keats appears to be laboring under the impression that Willard is a frost on the stage because he does not skip about before the footlights and do an Eva Tanguay, Jeffries could not tell stories, sing or dance, but before being defeated by Jack Johnson he was greeted, by large crowds wherever he appeared. Willard's failure to draw big houses is because the public does not conscientiously believe that "he is the goods." Deep down in the hearts of the American people the opinion exists that Sam Langford and Sam McVea (not to speak of-Jack Johnson) are the superiors of the new champion, and this opinion will not down. It is a foregone conclusion that Willard does not intend to fight Sam Langford or Sam McVea, as his policy will THE NEW YORK TIMES be, for obvious reasons, to draw the color line. But Willard and those who would draw the color line in the fistive arena overlook this important fact—that in so doing they injure the fight game and lessen, instead of increased, interest in it. Usually the attendance at a theatre, baseball game or entertainment depends on the amount of interest displayed. That is why a large attendance was always in evidence at bouts in which Jack Johnson figured while he was champion. Now that the white writers have awakened from their dream and realize that Willard will not make a fortune on the stage, as they first predicted, the public will be surfeited with glowing predictions of the millions the new champion is destined to make in the ring. But as a matter of fact, if Willard has not already plucked from the financial field a neat bunch of coin his-chances of participating in another harvest are remote. There is a vast difference between being "champion heavyweight of the world" and the "white champion heavyweight of the world," and as a mathematical proposition the difference may be shown most convincingly in dollars and cents. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Ben M. Butler, the veteran promoter and theatrical manager, is sick at his home, 305 West 68th street, with heart and long trouble. He would appreciate the visits of his friends. Edgar Connors and Cecil Mann are at the American Theatre, Chicago. Gordon Brothers's Dancing Kangaroos, Howe & Chadwick and their Eight Dancing Imps, and McKissick & Chaddock are at the New Standard Theatre, Philadelphia. Bert A. Williams is back in New York after a successful tour in the West and Middle West with Ziegfeld's Follies. The report that colored musicians were not permitted to land in England and were returned to America is untrue. Rumor was started by the Harlem Black Dispatch. MARTIN-SMITH-RECITAL. A splendid audience assembled at Palm Garden, 58th street, Wednesday evening, May 5, for the eighth annual recital of the pupils of David Irwin Martin, in conjunction with the first appearance of the chorus of the Martin-Smith Music School of 139 West 136th street. An augmented orchestra under direction of E. E. Thompson, and the Merry Makers' Club of the school, a group of young misses led by Grace Giles, whose training was begun by the late Aida Overton Walker, assisted. The main features of the program was the singing of "Bubla Khan," a rhapsody for solo contralto, chorus and orchestra, by Coleridge-Taylor, with Mme. Daisy Tapley, contralto soloist, Mrs. Mildred Brooks De Leon at the piano and Eugene Aldama Jackson conducting the chorus and orchestra. The singing of the chorus was pleasing, but hardly reached a complete understanding of the beautiful sentiment of Samuel Coleridge's poem as interpreted by the composer's score. Mr. Jackson did not seem to be able to control either the chorus or orchestra the volume if from both bodies being to excessive always. The result was that only in the parts where the contralto was alone could Mme. Tapley's work be heard. She was absolutely overwhelmed in the obligato parts. This should not be, in my opinion, because Coleridge-Taylor has given to the solo voice the main bread of the poet's dream. The emphasizing of the oblugato is necessary to the complete understanding of this beautiful allegorical story, but a failure to do so did not mean that the audience was entirely bereft of an enjoyable performance. The chorus is good, with fairly well-balanced sections, and will undoubtedly improve with further experience and practice. The orchestra, composed not only of members of the school, but augmented by a number of the best instrumentalists of the city, gave a very good performance, both in the accompaniment to the chorus, barring its lustiness, and in the ensemble numbers. The Gluck overture and a fragment from Scott Joplin's Tremonisha, a ragtime opera, were the main orchestral numbers, with E. E. Thompson conducting. Mr. Thompson is a splendid musician, and possesses considerable technical knowledge of the science of conducting. But he seemed uneasy with the ammonotonous conception of the overture, not believe he succeeded in bringin' out the full value of Joplin's tone poem. A but more versatility in reading of the score would. I am sure, have added considerable to the performance. David I. Martin conducted the string orchestra in two numbers, and gave as a violin solo Coleridge-Taylor's transcription of the slave folk-song, "Deep River." The school trio, Eugene Mars Martin, violin, David I. Martin, Jr., "cello, and Lydia Mason, piano, received an enthusiastic reception and gave amenable performance. The dancing of the two groups, the little kiddies in one and the young miges in the other, was one of the most pleasing features of the evening, and the audience demanded encores of the music. The Helma Yancey did a butterfly dance that was unique. She had been coached by Mrs. Nellie Wells King. "The Ladies' Orchestra of the school furnished music for dancing after the conclusion of the program. The list of box-holders is as follows: Box 1. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Fisher; 2. Mr. and Mrs. John E.

HOPE DAY CABARET A splendid audience assembled at the New Star Casino on Friday evening, May 7, for the cabaret performance in the interest of Hope Day Nursery, located at 33 West 133rd street. The ladies had arranged a splendid program of all professional talent, in addition to a "Kill Cabaret" by the dancing pupils of Miss Amanda Kemp, Mrs. Albert S.

Tutt Whitney and his aggregation in "His Excellency, the President." When the Smart Set played at the Lafayette Theatre a few weeks ago many were under the impression that the company had been booked for two weeks, and, therefore, were disappointed upon learning quite to the contrary. Although the company made a big hit in "His Excellency, the President," when last seen in Harlem, a number of new songs and dances will be introduced. J. Homer Tutt, Blance Thompson and all the old favorites will be in the cast, and Marshall & Cumby, one of the big hits on the big time, have been secured as an added attraction. THE RAJAHS AND OTHER FEATURES AT LAFAYETTE: bill of unusual interest was given at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week, several of the turns setting Harlemites to talking. One of the acts to mystify and to occasion unusual interest was the mental telepathy turn presented by the Rajahs, who are real artists in their line. The female member of the act sits on the stage blindfolded and accurately describes articles her partner touches, worn by persons sitting in the audience. Then the young woman sits at the piano and renders any number requested by patrons, who whisper the name of the pieces to the male Rajah. The Rajahs have an act that is of bigtime caliber, and ranks with Mercedes and others who possess occult powers. Johnnie Woods, no longer "Prof. Johnnie Woods," is back in Harlem after remaining away for over a year, and he was a pronounced hit as a ventriloquist. Although it is quite a bold assertion to make, there is not a more finished ventriloquist on the stage than Johnnie Woods, and he gets more THE RAJAHS laughs with his one figure than any two other ventriloquists together. That he would make it very, very hard for ventriloquists of big reputation is perhaps the reason he does not get work on the big time. Bailey & Teare have a new act, with new costumes, and they furnish a varied entertainment, consisting of comedy, singing, dancing and several inspiring renditions on musical instruments. Act gets a big hand at close. The feature of the act presented by Edith Marlowe and Four Spades is the lively dancing finish, in which one of the boys, an exceptionally good dancer, is heartily applauded for his great dancing. As in most pick acts, Miss Marlowe makes the pictures while the picks do the meritorious work. The Osborne Company, in a dramatic sketch, is full of humor, and the Ritz Troupe, two men and two women, and one of the best acrobatic acts in vaudelle, electrified the audience with their sensational exhibition. The Rajahs, Johnnie Woods and Bailey & Teare have been held over for the second half. During the summer months country store will be held at the Lafayette Theatre on Tuesday evenings (furniture night) and Saturday evenings (jewelry night). Charlie Chaplin is featured on the screen every Wednesday. INCOMPARABLE WILL BE The Clef Club Carnival GENERAL ADMISSION 50c. Proscenium Seats $1.00 each. Boxes and Loges $5 each.

JACK JOHNSON IN CUBA THE AGE is in receipt of the following communication and clipping from Charles E. Conick, Jr., well known New Yorker, relative to Jack Johnson in Cuba, which explains itself: SPORTING POINTS 82, 83 You may be interested in the enclosed clipping from the Havant Post of April 14, 1915. This paper was bitterly opposed to Jack Johnson, but the strenuous attendance the windup with the recent championship battle as far as the promoters, Curley, al. wore, concerned, left rather a nasty taste in the mouths of the people who were prejudiced. As a matter of fact, Jack Johnson is certainly "in right," down the road. I expect to make Cuba my future humane, but I don't expect to hire which I fancy would be of interest to you as an a-race man, and I don't expect to hire which I fancy would be of interest to Jack Johnson, the fact remains that all classes of people held him in humane, but I expect to hire in which conquered himself here. Though I will be busy in my new work, I will be interested in time to time to send you some newy items of this place as far as the black people are concerned, for many of them are not interested in our group. I have to find any so-called "color-line" drawn in the hotels, cafes, restaurants, bars, shops etc. IMS, ESC, CONN, JR.

Heavy hitting, featured both contests. Cyclone Joe Williams, considered by many the peer of all semi-pro (writers), pitched the opening contend with a double tilt, eleven men made a total of fifty-six for four and a half games. Torriente's great one-handed catch of the centre field force in the first game was one of the star plays. In the second game Wiley was spiked in the fourth inning, but continued to catch.

C. but now doing a successful contracting business at Greenville, N. C. First Emmanuel The Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden, pastor of Emmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street, said that a new world is manifesting itself, the resistance of the old world order against the new, precipitate strife and what is termed violence. The cobweb human organization of a temporal scheme of comes in contact with strong atmos- pheric or pressure. The stout though in this world excepted. Men munications busy life bears the same relations to the universal wholeness of things as spiders and their webs. Men and nations, shocked, angered, frightened, crazed by their self generational poison, bit, sting and empathize and devour all enemies in reach that do, not please them when their moral and legal webs are torn down as do spirit, and this spider-mind excitement and anxiety does not effect the eternal purpose or change the eternal mind. The Immauuel's eternal progress is self-evident everywhere. God, the Father, at sunny times in divers men's nests spoke in times past the Fathers by the prophets concerning his purposes and his passions, continually being wrought out in the face of and in a beating out of total disregard to the real will of men. The teachers and preachers who preach the Holy Scriptures of the chief thinkers of all nations, know, that the truth that God is All and in All is an outstanding feature that beating out things are His children, that beating out one family and that beating out no love Him with all our strength and all of our mind, our neighbor, as our self. The free gift of His Son, Jesus Christ whom he hath appointed help of all things, by whom also he made the worlds, for sin and the Saviour from death of this world, in these last days should cause men to listen which this holy Voice which says look to Jesus now and live. He issues-deeds and gives titles to spiritual properties which cannot be purchased, selzed or passed to or by us as an inheritance through a will. His endowment through policies are not purchased, obtain, their and the solvency of the Holy Society is validated by the signatures of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Why should we Immanuelists stop as holy agents ureing the people to come by without money, without price? Here is the highest market trading in the ritual things, with our command for a commercial basis of trade. Race and nationality do not count. The thins that count are obedience and service. All who are engaged here are pure in heart. All here are engaged, hence in this Holy Eternal business, we see God. As to this time world conflict in human history, the bursting loose of the earth, the pending plenary passions of men against men. It is the spirit of the prince of darkness and death, chilliness and contending against the author and king of light and life for a place to rule human suffering destruction and death is the program. So we look for more, and greater, earthquakes, famines, fearful diseases, after destruction of human life and But we Emmanuel's know that the Led is the sletor, and, that the meek will inherit through Him this earth His Kingdom will spread from shore to shore from every point of the compass of this earth, the princes will meet to absolute King and pay homage to Him.
