C., June 23 — The "grandfather clause," by which Southern States have disfranchised hundreds of thousands of Negroes, while permitting any white man to vote, received its death blow from the Supreme Court of the United States on Monday, June 21. The decision of the court that the "grandfather clause" was unconstitutional was unanimous, and is virtually the first ruling by the highest court on this point. The court has side-stepped this issue several times, but the question is now answered so flatly in the negative that it is doubtful whether any further laws aimed at disfranchising the Negroes will include the "grandfather clause." This decision invalidates the "grandfather clause" of the Maryland law, only recently adopted, and applied only to State and city elections, and the similar clause in the Oklahoma law, which applied to all elections. The Maryland law was an attempt to avoid any national issue on which the case could be taken to the Supreme Court. property and Other Tests for Maryla nd Voters also Rejected. Property and other tests for voters enacted by the Maryland Legislature for Annapolis in the same act in which the "grandfather clause" was inserted was held to be so closely related to the latter clause as to make all the qualifications fall. In the case of Oklahoma, the clause was embodied in an amendment to the State Constitution, which imposed a literacy test from which those who were entitled to vote prior to January 1, 1860, those who were then foreigners, and their lineal descendants were exempted. As to Maryland, the clause was embodied in a law relating to registration in municipal elections. VOL.

In the case of Oklahoma, the move to the State Constitution, who those who were entitled to vote prior then foreigners, and their lineal of Maryland, the clause was embodied municipal elections. Chief Justice White handed down first the court's opinion in the Oklahoma case and lawyers agreed that the ruling out of the Maryland statute was then inevitable. Most of the Constitutional reasoning of the court was set forth in the Oklahoma case. It was remarked that Justice White is a native of the South and a former Confederate soldier. Oklahoma's Restriction. The case arose from the indictment and conviction of certain election officials in Oklahoma for their part in centering the State Constitutional amendment in question at the general election of 1918. Monday's opinion was technically an answer to questions certified to the Supreme Court by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the English Circuit. The Constitution of Oklahoma, upon which territory was admitted to the Union as a State, gave something very like manhood suffrage. Prior to the election of 1910, however, an amendment was adopted restricting the franchise. The amendment in part was as follows. No person shall be registered as an elector of this State or be allowed to vote in any election herein unless he shall be able to read and write any section of the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma, or who was on January 1, 1966, or at any time prior thereto entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at any time resided in some foreign nation and no lineal descendant of such person shall be denied the right to vote, because of his inability to so read and write sections of such Constitution. Chief Justice White's Opinion. The contentions of the election officers as plaintiffs in error, really setting forth the position of the State, are thus outlined by the Chief Justice. It is said that the States have the power to fix standards for suffrage and that power was not taken away by the Fifteenth Amendment. It is limited to the extent of the prohibitions which that amendment established. This being true in the make any discrimination on the basis of race, color or previous condition of servitude, since all other Negro or white who come with its requirements, enjoy the privilege of voting, there is no imped upon which to rest the prohibition of the Fifteenth Amendment. This is insisted, must be the case unless it is intended to expressly declare the State's right to provide a standard for suffrage, or what is about thereto, to assert, (n) The judgment of the State of the power is subject to Federal judicial review or to supervision, or (b) that it may be questioned or brought within the prohibitions of the amendment by attributing to the legislative authority an occult motive to violate the amendment or by assuming that an exercise of the otherwise lawful power may be invalidated because of conclusions concerning its operation in practical execution and resulting discrimination arising therefrom, abstent from discrimination was not expressed in the degree of likely abuse the implied but simply arose from inequalities naturally inhering in those who must come within the standard in order to enjoy the right to vote." The Government's View The Government instated, on the other hand, that the real question involved" is the repackaging of the standard which the amendment makes based upon the conditions existing on January 1, 1566, because on its face and inherently considering the substance of things, that standard is a mere dual of the restriction of the Fifteenth Amendment and by necessary results recreates and perpetuates the very conditions which the amendment was intended to destroy." The Chief Justice summed up the opinion of the court in these words: There seems no escape from the conclusion that to hold that there was even possibility for dispute on the subject would be to declare that the Fifteenth Amendment not only had not the self-executing power which it has been recognized to have from the beginning, but that its provisions were wholly inoperative because susceptible of being rendered inapplicable by mere forms of expression embodying no exercise of judgment and resting upon no discernible reason other than the purpose to disregard the prohibitions of the amendment by creating a standard of voting which on its free was in substance but a revitalization of the conditions which, when they prevailed in the past, had been destroyed by the self-operative force of the amendment. It is true it contains no express words of an exclusion, from the standard which it establishes of any persons on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude prohibited by the Fifteenth Amendment, but the standard itself inherently brings that result to existence, since it is based purely on a period of time before the enactment of the Fifteenth Amendment and makes that period the controlling and dominant test of the right of suffrage. We are unable to discover how, unless the prohibitions of the Fifteenth Amendment were considered the slightest reason was affording for basing the classification upon a peremptory motion in the Fifteenth Amendment. Certainly it cannot be said that there was any peculiar pecuniary in the time WILLIAM M. CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE of the U. S. Supreme Court named which engendered attributes affecting the qualification to vote which would not exist at another nineteenth Amendment was in view. HOW OTHER SOUT STATES ARE A Special to the New York Acad JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June General Literacy Test Nullified The court took the view that ordinarily the question whether the nullification of the exceptions of the grandfather clause would at the same time make void the general literacy test to which it was appended would be for the State to decide. In the absence of a decision by a State court the Chief Justice, however, said that the Federal tribunal would pass upon the question. Ordinarily a provision like the literacy test, which is legal in itself, would not be destroyed by the wiping out of an illegal accompanying provision. But the plan meaning of the Oklahoma Constitution was that the reading test should not be made to dissuade literal descendants of Voters prior to 1800. This would be accomplished in many cases by continuing the reading test without the offensive exceptions, the whole provision was stricten out. The fight over the question of disfranchising the Negro or restricting the Negro vote has been before the courts in one form or another for years. About fifteen years ago the so-called "grandfather Clause" was invented. In its most popular form it exempted from educational and property tests for voting those who could vote in 1860, 1867 or 1888. In point of age the vote would have been of "grandfather" age. In Maryland the clause was inserted in laws governing elections in various cities. In 1908 it was inserted in the law governing municipal elections in the city of Annapolis. It authorized the registration as voters of all taxpayers of the city assessed for at least $500; all duly naturalized citizens, all male children of naturalized citizens twenty-one years of age, and "all citizens who prior to January 1, 1808 were entitled to vote in the State of Maryland or any other State of the United States at a State election and the lawful male descendants of any person who prior to January 1, 1808 were entitled to vote in the State of Maryland or in any other State of the United States at a State election. Confirms Conviction of Election Officials. Frank J Gunn and J J Beal, Oklahoma election officers were convicted for preventing Negroes from voting in the 1910 Congressional election and sentenced to imprisonment for one year and to pay a line of $100. They appealed to the Appellate Court at St Louis which passed the case along to the Supreme Court without trying it. The lower court was upheld and the conviction confirmed by the decision. In the Maryland case the court awarded damages to three Negroes to be paid by election officials of Annapolis, who had refused to register them John B. Anderson, William H. Howard and Robert Brown colored of Annapolis, were responsible for the test case Among Counsel for them was former Attorney General Charles J. Bomparte of Baltimore Election officials at Annapolis refused to register these colored men so that the could vote in the election. The federal judge based on the fact that they could not qualify under the 'ancestor' rule. A civil suit for damages was instituted against Charles E. Meyers and A. Claude Kalney the election officials who barred them from registry. The United States Circuit Court for Maryland returned a verdict for nominal damages against the election officials. The court held that under the offence amendment they had the right to vote at all elections. The election officials demurred claiming this amendment did not apply to State elections. The court overruled the demurrier and the officials conceded to the United States Supreme Court. The court held that these election officials could not ignore the potency of the Fifteenth Amendment in striking out the word "white" as a qualification for voting and that this amendment applies to municipal elections as well as to Federal elections. THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1915 BISHOP FROM Defeat the WAS Bishop Senior Turner Be Proud Bishop of the U. S. Supreme Court HOW OTHER SOUTHERN STATES ARE AFFECTED Special to The New York Act. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 21—The decision of the Supreme Court in the matter of the grandfather clause will in no wise affect affairs in Florida. This State conducts all elections on the Australian ballot system, and this results in a practical elimination of the illiterate vote. This is the only educational requirement here. Special to THE NEW-YORK ACE. NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 21—Tennessee is not affected by the annulment of the grandfather's clause. The Australian ballot system exists wherever the Negro vote would be likely to control an election. The law requires the voter to mark his own ballot in secrecy. The Negro is not voted to any extent in the restricted counties except when he has been schooled, after a long, tedious process. In the rural districts the law has served to eliminate the Negro vote. Spent to the New York Age. February 14, 2014—June 21—The grandfather is expired in this State on December 15, 1908. Every person in this State in order to vote must be able to read and write any section of the State Constitution. The Negroes who could not register and vote under the grandfather clause are now excluded from voting by reason of the educational qualifications. Spent to the New York Age. ATLANTA (Ga.) June 21—It is not regarded as likely that the ruling of the Supreme Court will affect the provision of the Constitution of Georgia. Senator Hoke Smith, whose first race for Governor of Georgia was made successfully upon the issue of the grandfather clause to might make the following statement. "I cannot discuss the decision until I have seen it in form but it was generally conceded at Washington by those representing both sides of the case that such a ruling would not affect constitutional amendments similar to that of the Constitution or the State of Georgia." cial to The New York Age Richmond, Va. June 21 - Virginia is not disturbed by the Supreme Court decision. The new Constitution which went into effect in 1902 contains no such clause. The Constitution provides for the registration of veterans who went through the war and for the registration of their sons. Then the property owner is qualified and next comes the educational qualification of voters. The late John S. Wise attacked the Constitution on behalf of the Negroes of the State who are barred because of the educational clause. The Constitution was upheld by the courts. To New York Ack. Larry Rock, Ark 21 — Arkansas has no grandfather clause Sir to Tue New York Ack. COTTSVILLE, S. C. June 21—South Carolina has no grandfather clause. The right of suffrage is based on educational and property qualifications alone. SEGREGATION MIX-UP IN LOUISVILLE BLOCK N.Y.C. TO NEW YORK, A.C. SIGNAL IN THE NEW YORK ACE. LOUISVILLE, Ky June 22.—The opinion of the Kentucky Court of Appeals holding the segregation law valid has caused an interesting question to come up in this city. A block wherein the white residents were slightly in the majority a few weeks ago now has a slight Negro majority brought about by the moving out of a white family. The question is whether that house shall be rented to Negroes, since they are in the majority in that block, or to whites since white people last occupied the house. Attaches of the ely attorney's office are of the opinion that the property may be rented to either white or colored persons, but if rented to Negroes then it may not be ever rented to whites as long as Negroes are in the majority in that block. BISHOP FLIPPER BOLTS FROM BISHOPS' COUNCIL WAS ASSISTANT SECRETARY Bishop Lee, Former Secretary, Became Senior Bishop After Death of Bishop Turner, and Flipper Thought He Should Be Promoted, but Council Turned Him Down — Walked Out With Southern Bishops Succial to The New York Age. WILHELBORO, O., June 23.—The Council of Bishops of the A. M. E. Church met with Witbertorce University last week, was the scene of a stormy episode when the question of the election of a successor to Bishop Benjamin R. Lee as secretary of the council came up. Bishop Lee had been secretary of the council for years, but the recent death of Bishop Henry M. Turner elevated him to the position of senior prelate. I attended of Bishop James S. J.叔尔 Atlanta thought that, massimus as he had been assistant secretary of the council, he should be the logical successor of Bishop Lee. Some of the bishops, remembering that Bishop Flipper had assailed the Council of Bishops through the church papers about four years ago, thought it would not be fitting to elect him to such an important position. Bishop Flipper, in his letters to the church organs, charged that the council had not adopted a rule of action for its guidance during the fifty years that it had been in existence and made other severe criticisms, declaring that he did not intend to attend its sessions again. Flipper Had Criticized Brother Bishop. He was also chagrimed by the fact that the bishops would not try some charges that had been made against the administration of the late Bishop Games. In accordance with his threat to remain about from the sessions of the bishops, Bishop Flipper did not attend a session of the council for the next eighteen months. He however, attended one need at Mobile. When the pranks met at Atlanta he attended, but, it is claimed, had a serious disagreement with some of his colleagues. He missed the one at New Orleans last February. When the name of Bishop John Hurst was proposed as the successor, Bishop Leo, a secretary and his election seemed assured the friends of Bishop Flipper arrose and declared that sectional considerations caused the bishops to overlook the fact that he (Flipper), having served as assistant secretary, should get the secretaryship. Southern Bishops Incensed. Bishop Flipper, William D. Chappelle and James M. Conner, each of whom lives in the South, made bitter speeches against their colleagues from other sections of the country, charging that the South was being discriminated against. The right of the bishops to elect a secretary at this time was also questioned, and Bishop Flipper, it is said, refused an election rather than admit that right. The three bishops from the South then took trans for their respective homes and the election of Bishop Hurst followed. The stand of the Southern bishops created a situation among the many ministers and laymen who had been attracted there by the sessions of the bishop and the commencement of Wilberforce University. The Southern ministers in attendance about a resolution which claimed that the training down of Bishop Flipper would be instrumental to the interests of the church in the South. Bishop Charles S. Smith was chosen to preside over the conferences of the late Bishop Turner. ALL PRIVATE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THE STATE PRESIDENT KY. June 22—The Court of Appeal, on June 18, handed down an order, the Judge Hannah, holding the Louisville segregation ordinance in court. I am issuing the question Judge Hannah declared that all private property is held subject to the unchallenged right and power of the state to impose upon the use and amount thereof such real estate regulations as are deemed expended for the public welfare. There is nothing in the ordinance which takes away from any person the right to acquire property anywhere in the city, but the ordinance does prohibit the occupant of the property under certain circumstances. The judge said that Kentucky was committed to the principle of the separation of races and that the ordinance is not to segregate as a measure of imposing stigma, "but in order to prevent such conflicts as are shown by this record to have resulted in Louisville from racial discord consequent upon close association of the races, and in order that solidarity of the races may be preserved." NEGRO APPOINTED AS TRANSITUII Inc. June 22—For the first time in this city a Negro, Frnest Boltingham, has been appointed as a special police officer. The appointment was announced on June 17 by Edgar Schmidt, chief of police, and it goes to the Board of Safety for ratification. SUPREME COURT HELPS MARYLAND NEGROES Special to The New York Age BALTIMORE, Md., June 23—The decision of the United States Supreme Court knocking out the "grandfather" clause in the Annapolis election law and in the Oklahoma constitution is especially gratifying to the colored citizens of Maryland. It was here that a United States District Court first declared the "grandfather" clause invalid, and the Frederick County Court also declared that way in May, 1913. The decision will estop Democrats from again attempting to disfranchise the Negro. At this moment two factions in the Democratic party in Maryland are in a titanic struggle for control of the organization. On one side United States Senator Blair Lee is fighting for the Democratic nomination for Governor, and on the other side United States Senator John Walter Smith is backing Controllor Emerson C Harrmgton for the nomination. Both of these men are allowed enemies of Negro suffrage and civil rights, but they cannot promise disfranchisement now. Maryland has already defeated three suffrage amendments passed by the legislature, and it is, as said before, the first State where disfranchisement has been successfully combatted, thereby paving the way for the disfranchised thousands of the South to regain their suffrage rights. A. M. E. MISSION BOARD MEETS IN BIBLE HOUSE In calling to order the Home and Foreign Mission Board of the A. M. E. Church in the chapel of the American Bible Society, Wednesday morning, Bishop Charles Spencer Smith of Detroit, Mich., said the European war was a menace to foreign missions, giving it at least fifty years' set-back. "God does not suffer a permanent vacant place in nature," said Bishop Smith, "and the present war finds on the firing line the artists, poets, sculptors, statesmen and thinkers of the continent, and when the war is ended there will be many vacancies that God will fill from some source, and I believe it will come from the darker races." He referred to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, touching the 15th Amendment, and showing its relation to missions. His address was timely and full of information and sound advice. The Rev. D, H Johnson of Greenville S. C. conducted the opening of the board, and roll call showed the following present. Bishop C. S. Smith, Detroit Mich president, Bishop John Hurt-Baltimore, vice president, J W Rankin Brooklyn, N. Y. secretary Members—The Revs, A L. Murray, Jersey City, N. J.; S. S. Morris, Cincinnati, N. C.

Robertson, deacon of the Baptist Church, and James Hendricks former superintendent of the Sunday School prominent white citizens of this community, are under arrest, with between other white men on indictment charging them with the murder of Harrison Maddox, an old and respected Negro who was killed near this place on the night of April 26. Maddox, with other respectable Negroes, were taken from the home of a family named Short by a mob of thirty or forty white men, who intended to lay them a whipping. Passing through Rockport Maddox made an offer to escape. Several shots were fired and Maddox fell mortally wounded. Citizens of the town were aroused by the shooting and rushing out recognized a number of the men composing the mob it is alleged CANADA'S ONLY NEGRO KING'S COUNSEL DEAD AMHERSTBORG, CANADA, June 22.—Delos R Davis, K C, who died here recently, was the only Negro barrister in Canada ever made a King's Counsel. He was also the first member of his race to be admitted to practice law in Canada. He died at the age of 68. Mr Davis was the son of a Virginia slave who escaped to Canada by the underground junta in 1850. His parents settled in New Canaan, Colchester North. He went later to Vipollan Muh, where he taught school and he retired insurer. He was admitted to the Canaan bar in 1887 and practiced in Amherstburg until 1909, when he retired. He was made King's Counsel by Sir James Whitney in 1908. In 1881 Mr Davis organized the township of Colchester and held many public offices in the community. He leaves six children, Fred H., Delos R., Jr., James, Wava, Bertha and Dora, all living in Amherstburg. PRICE FIVE CENTS BAPTISTS OF NEW ENGLAND MEET Hold Forty-First Annual Session With Mount Olivet Church, New York Rev. W. Bishop Johnson Declares that Church Life Is a Potential Factor in Racial Integrity and Enterprise. STANDS FOR NEGRO BRAND The New England Convention is a Negro Institution and Believes in the Capability of the Race, First, Lest and all the Time, With Faith in a Glorious Future. The forty-first-annual session of the New England Missionary Baptist Convention opened Thursday, June 17, at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, 159 West 53d street, the Rev William P. Hayes, pastor, and closed Monday night, June 21, with a large reception tendered to delegates and visiting ministers by the pastor. More than 250 delegates were present, representing 127 bodies, which included state conventions, district associations and local churches located in the territory from New Hampshire to North Carolina, New York to Pittsburgh, Pa. The delegates reported $55,000 raised and expended for education and missions during the convention year. $2,702.58 were raised at the convention, which makes a total of $7,702.58. $25,000 were given to the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg. The feature of the opening was the annual address of the president, the Rev W Bishop Johnson, who spoke in part, as follows The President's Annual Address. Once more in the silent revolution of time, we are assembled in the annual session of the Grand Old New England Missionary-Baptist Convention. We stand upon the threshold of another year. Looking backward, we see that the church has enjoyed unusual peace and prosperity. Great revivals have characterized the life of our denominational family and many thousands have been added to God's holy army while equally as many have been quickened to do more for the extension of the Mager's Kingdom. Never have we been accompanied with greater evidence that the church life of the Nero is a potential factor in racial development. The church is today, as it always has been, the supply house for racial integrity and enterprise. All the great moral, social, business and educational concerns that the church has faced in the volume of race efficiency have been born in our churches, and we would be the basest migrates if we attempted to deny it. It was within the sacred confines of the church that we caught the vision—God and Race. Since then we have pressed our way to the mount of sufficiency, through the wide deep valley of sacrifice suffering and service. The influence of this body should be felt in every part of our conventional district. We should link ourselves with every state convention and district association. Our representative should be at each annual meeting of these district bodies and their representatives should be with us and on our boards, so that they may acquaint us of their needs and secure our cooperation in bringing out their plans. We can't be great and great without this close cooperation and organization. Your president feels that our whole future usefulness depends upon the idea of real cooperation in methods money, men and missionary efforts. Must Have a System. We want a system. We have men, money and measures. We must have system. God does not work without a plan. why should we try? As an organization we are reconfiguring this fact more and more. The Educational Board has made wonderful steps to the Northern University. This has organized, organized and decided to begin the work of educating the masses of our people who are living in our churches and knowing at our doors for light and knowledge. But we can never get the credit for our work nor form a self respecting idea of the magnitude of what we are doing until we are really convinced that we need of united effort in making this the down call to the legal support of our convention. No department of denominational work can suffer when the educational and missionary spirit is alive. The Christian religion is a missionary religion. The New England Missionary Consul, a congregation for the poor, thus has the Negro brand upon it. She believes in the capability of the Negro, first last and all the time. Her faith in a glorious future for the race leads her to plan and suffer, remembering that "The sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us." She also believes "That no man should strike the blow. The prime factor in the solution of our problem is the Negro himself. The record of stealing character and worth that makes men superior must be made by the Negro We have made a record for these laws, let us ammy—one for par- tition. The Pauline expression, "We are forward," must be the slogan of the Negro everywhere. The Conspiracy of American Prejudice. It is in the conspiracy of American ity to humiliate the race, everywhere, north and south. No where upon history's pages can be an example of this. It was not written and be found as that of America. If it were levelled at the criminal and dangerous classes it might be justifiable, but it is directed to that element in our race life that contributes the highest and best to western civilization. It lives by the inspiration it receives from government officials and clerical parasites who instead of preaching the truth to the people, teach a gospel of hate and confusion towards the Negro. It would be a good policy for the country to court the love rather than the hatred of the black citizenship; to develop their loyalty by administering justice and equity rather than lynch, disfranchise and aggregate the very people who have been oppressed by repel an invading foe from abroad, or put down insurrection and civil strife at home. What has happened in American history, with the black man on the battlefield, will surely happen again, but unless the government accords him better treatment both as a man and citizen in the United States, he will not be patient, but use his larger intelligence and finer powers of discrimination in a destructive way, rather than a constructive one. The new brand of American statesmanship which has found its way to the front must be taught at the polls to have a conscience, as well as a moral conscience, to teach the value of brains as well as a bank account. He must be taught that citizenship and individual liberty are one and the same, anything else is a humbug and a national disgrace. We call upon the race to stand firm for high character and race unity, unity with the people, home and abroad, sink individual ambition, when the good or all is in the balance. Guard the honor of your own race household, if there are any weaknesses, do not expose them to the other races, but remedy them from within. Every family has its skeleton, so has every race, don't parade the ghastly thing to the world. That is not the way to right the wrong. The is older to together now than at any period of its history, as a rising in spite of organized and diabolical efforts to hinder us. We are nearer the heights to-day than we have ever been before. We easily assimilate in the heterogeneous civilization of the world, and we serve notice on our contemporaries and to unborn generations that our feet shall stand against others are our hands shall gather others are our hands shall racial self-sacrifice and racial glory, our eyes shall feast upon the golden stories of a people once lost but now redeemed.

Correspondence left out will appear in next issue of The Age. A VICTORY. At last, the American Negro gets a favorable decision from the United States Supreme Court. The decision recently handed down which kills the "grandfather clauses" is the greatest national victory achieved for the race since the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment. The decision is against the restrictions imposed by the states of Oklahoma and Maryland, but is so broad and far-reaching that it renders unconstitutional every law relating to the franchise which does not in letter and spirit apply equally to white and black citizens. This will evidently carry consternation to the hearts of those who believe, or pretend to believe, that the spirit of the nation depends upon fixing the laws so as to give all white men a perpetual right to vote, and denying the vote to black men. This is the second time within a year that the highest court in the land has taken a favorable attitude on rights of the Negro as an American citizen. Some months ago a majority of the Supreme Court expressed the opinion that the "Jim Crow" laws were unconstitutional. No decree was handed down, but the opinion expressed was not only a partial victory for the race, but was a distinct change in the historic attitude of the Court. This recent opinion is not a mere opinion, but is handed down as a formal decision. It deals the death blow to "grandfather clauses" and all other legalized frauds and subterfuges for depriving the Negroes of the right to vote. It is a matter of comment that both these recent favorable decisions were drawn out oil cases coming up from Oklahoma. The state of Oklahoma is leading in the New Emancipation. THE Y. M. C. A. LOCATION. If the colored people in New York are to have a new Y. M. C. A. building erected in Harlem and devoted exclusively to them, we want to know who should have a reasonable final choice as to the location of that building but the colored people of this city. The colored people of this city are the ones who will occupy and use the building; other people will only visit it occasionally. They are the ones who must build up the Association, if it is to be built up. So they are the ones, through their committee, who should have the final choice as to where the building is to be located. The choice of the colored committee of this city should supersede that of the white committee of this city, and much more should it supersede the opinion of an outsider, even though he be an International Secretary of the Association and a colored man. Furthermore, if it is true, as reported that Secretary Moreland ridiculed the idea of any colored man being VIEWS AND REVIEWS THE MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES. The New York Times recently had the following to say in an editorial on the now celebrated Frank case: "Everywhere except in Georgia it has seemed that what was discovered, after the trial, in regard to the paper on which the notes were written, was a sufficient reason for granting a new hearing of the case before a new jury. That it was not so considered there is one of the many mysteries that mark the whole affair—perhaps a mystery as great as how it came to pass that, in a southern city, a white man of good standing and character was convicted on the uftsupported word of a Negro like Conley." The Times considers it a mystery that what was discovered, after the trial, regarding the paper on which the famous murder notes were written, was not considered, in Georgia, sufficient reason for granting Frank a new trial. We see nothing particularly mystifying in this. It seems that the courts of Georgia simply considered that the "new evidence" was not such as would have any bearing upon the merits of the case. But when the Times declares it a mystery "that in a southern city, a white man of good standing and character was convicted on the unsupported word of a Negro like Conley" we are forced to agree. However, we go farther than the Times. We should consider it a mystery if, in a southern city, a white man of no standing and notoriously bad character should be convicted on the unsupportive word of any kind of a Negro. Nevertheless, we are not so mystified that we cannot see that the mystification of The Times is due to a reason directly opposite to ours. The Times is mystified because twelve good Southern white men could so far forget all the sacred and long established principles of Southern Anglo-Saxonism as to bring in a verdict of "guilty" against another white man, when there was a Negro handy upon whom the blame could have been placed. We are mystified because these same twelve men could, in spite of long established and inherited prejudice, bring in a verdict which they believed to be in accordance with the law, and the law alone. Is the distinction too subtle? If so, let us put it another way. The Times is mystified because the jury did not do wrong. We are mystified because the jury did do right. Does that make it plain? If not, we shall have to leave the reader to think it out. If this point has puzzled The Times as much as it has puzzled us, it will find that it is much easier to believe Frank guilty than to get any other explanation to the mystery. Governor Slaton has commuted Frank's sentence to life imprisonment. In this Governor is entirely within his rights; so the State of Georgia is not legally injured. Many people who may believe Frank guilty will approve the commutation for the reason that they are opposed to capital punishment. Frank is fortunate, and we do not begrudge him his good fortune. Our only interest in the case has been that the guilt should not be put on Conley merely because of his race. And still, Governor Slaton's action only deepens the mystery alluded to by The Times. If, after going over all the evidence, he had doubts of Frank's guilt, how could a jury of white men convict the prisoner, and let an accused Negro go free? No theory of racial or religious prejudice against Frank can explain it. JESS WILLARD ON-RACE-PREJUDICE. Perhaps it is the war or the mediocrity of all white pugilists or some other reason; but, at any rate, interest in prize fights has so declined that the new champion is not a great enough attraction to make his appearance on the stage profitable. So he is devoting himself to "literature." In one of the New York dailies he is running a series of articles about himself and the prize ring in general. One of his recent articles attracted our attention because it was headed "Willard Tells Why He Will Not Fight Another Negro." We quote here the paragraph in which he states his reason. After declaring all the colored heavyweights not to be in his class, he says: "But this is my real reason—a championship fight between a black man and a white makes bad blood between the races." Willard's reason for not fighting a Negro was what drew our attention to his article, but it was far from being the most interesting thing about it. He went on to say some of the best things about great colored fighters that have ever been said in print. Here are a few of his paragraphs: "I am not saying this in a mean way. I'm not excusing white men for feeling that way. I think it shows ignorance. But lots of white men did feel that way. Who doesn't remember all that sickening 'white hope' business? That is going to draw the color line. I say this because I don't want anybody to think that I'm doing it from any dirty little prejudice. "It isn't race or color that counts. It's brains. A sober, decent Chinaman looks better to me than a drunken hum of an American. A Negro who uses his intelligence is a finer man than a white man who soaks his mind in a whiskey glass. "Some of the greatest fighters in the history of the ring have been black men. And I want to say that they have always showed up as game and as square as white fighters. A hundred years ago the Jack Johnson of the ring was a big black named Molinoweau. And the only thing that kept him from being champion was a disheveld plank by which he stumbled. "We've also had some mighty great Negro fighters in our own day. They didn't make them better than Peter Jackson in his prime, and Joe Wolgott was certainly some terror. able to draw plans for the building and of colored mechanics being able to do the proper sort of work on it, his opinion in the matter is not only not asked, but not wanted. miserable and unsuccessful to show the public that the treatment of Negroes is able. In seeking clemency for I. Frank, the slayer of Mary We are rather surprised at the reflections made by Dr. Moreland as to the capacity of members of his race, in his reported criticisms of our colored real estate men, architects and mechanics. The Age has the utmost confidence in the ability of the members of our race to do all the things necessary in the sale of the land, the drawing of the plans and he construction of these buildings, Dr. Moreland to the contrary notwithstanding. The apparent determination to place the new Harlem branch in the category of a mission will not be acceptable to the colored people of this city. NEW YORK TIMES AND THE NEGRO. As an advocate of fair play and justice, the New York Times seems to possess a dual personality. It is a regular Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. In its editorial columns it cries out against the inhumane treatment of the Jews in Russia, but is as mute as an Egyptian mummy on the persecution of the Negro in America, except when it finds time to make a miserable and unsuccessful effort to show the public that the ill treatment of Negroes is justifiable. In seeking clemency for Leo M. Frank, the slayer of Mary Phagan, the Times has led the clamor for justice; and now vigorously applauds Gov. Slaton's action in commuting Frank's sentence. But in the same breath this "consistent champion" of law and order, justice and fair play, unbecomingly exhibits deep resentment over the decision of the United States Supreme Court in declaring invalid the "Grandfather Clausel," which has illegally kept thousands of Negro citizens from voting in the South. Hundreds of Negro citizens buy the Times daily for personal perusal, and there are scores of hall-boys and other members of the race engaged in domestic service, who, when sent for a daily paper, buy the Times at their own instance. It is high time the Negro was learning, to differentiate between enemy and friend. With such great papers as the New York World, the Globe, Evening Post and Tribune demanding that the Negro be given a square deal, why not spend your pennies with such real champions, of the people and boost their circulation instead of strengthening the Times, Sun and Journal?* Dixon: I don't suppose any more intelligent boy ever drew on a globe. The same goes for the Game. Both of them they met we were quite mattered, well behaved lad, and far more of a credit to the ring than many of the white fighters they met. After giving many reminiscences of the ring, illustrating the fact that fighting ability is not dependent upon race, he summed up his opinions about race prejudice in the following words: "I just mention these things to show how foolish we all are when it comes to thinking that one race is better than another. Or that it proves anything which a man of one race whips a man of another race. Everything depends on the man. And what the man amounts to depends on his brain." Those are words you would not expect from a prize fighter; and it is exactly for that reason we reproduce them here. If they had been said by a college president they would not be nearly so important. For, in the first place, everybody expects a real college president to talk like that; and, in the second place, what a real college president says reaches, comparatively, few people; and they would be the kind of people who, if they had strong racial prejudices, would be rather ashamed to assert them, at least, forcibly. But what the champion prize fighter of the world says in a widely circulated newspaper will reach a great mass of people who not only have racial prejudices, but boast of the fact. And what he says will carry more weight with them than the words of all the college presidents in the country. COMMENT HERE AND THEEE. The following despatch comes stands for Kentucky.

The "Ky." stands for Kentucky. Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky: If this sort of thing did not involve such far reaching effects we should be inclined to laugh at it for its sheer absurdity. Here are white people who have colored people to take care of their homes, to cook their food, and to nurse their children—and, in many instances, the relations are still more intimate—yet who object to a colored family being in the same block, no matter how intelligent, refined or wealthy. Of course, we know the objection is mainly against intelligence, refinement and wealth. The National Women's Temperance Union is reported as having raised a protest against the use of wine in christening the new battleship "Arizona" when she was launched. That is the kind of misdirected zeal that will hurt any cause, no matter how worthy the cause may be. What possible good could come out of a protest against the old custom of smashing a bottle of wine against the bow of a warship on naming her? The wine so used could do neither the ship nor anything else any damage. Perhaps the ladies of the Union felt that it set a bad example; but it is an example that very few will be able to follow. The National Women's Temperance Union is undoubtedly an organization with an important work before it, the work of reducing drunkenness and intemperance; for that reason it should not waste its energy and influence in such ludicrous efforts as that of stopping officials from bathing the steel nose of a battleship with wine. The more wine used to wash battleships, the less to be drunk. The following clipping was sent to us by one of our readers in whom it proskored considerable indignation: "The Town Council of Hermitage, Arkansas, has passed an ordinance providing that any Negro found intoxicated on the streets has dug by brine digged in the blue vat at the dye works." At a glance we could see that such an ordinance is unjust and contrary to rights guaranteed by the Constitution in that it is class legislation. We know that steps should be taken either to have the ordinance repealed or so amended as to include white as well as colored drunks. Nevertheless, our misreliability was so provoked at the picture of any drunk, white or black, being gathered up off the street and ducked in a vat of blue dye that our indignation refused to work. We could not resist speculating whether a drunk after such a bath would feel "bluer" than after the customary "ten days in jail." The following bit of verse was written by J. C. Squire, and published in The Herald, of London. We clip it from The New Republic: "God heard the embattled nations sing, and shout: "Gott strafe England!" and "God save the King!" "God this, God that, and God the other thing— "Good God!" said God: "I've got my work cut out." "Gott strafe England!" is German for "God punish England." After reading the many requests and orders issued to God by the various emperors, kings and other rulers engaged in the European war, the sacrilegious tone of the lines can be overlooked in appreciation of their keen satire. SUPREME COURT AND THE GRANDFATHER LAW. The action of the United States Supreme Court on Monday, June 21, in handing down a unanimous decision declaring the Oklahoma and Maryland "grandfather laws," disfranchising Negro voters, unconstitutional, have called forth strong expressions of approval from the leading newspapers of the country. The opinion of the editors of *The New York Times* does not blow to disobey the order, one class of the citizen as against another. The following are some of the editorial expressions already published: A REPUBLIC AT LAST. (N. Y. World, June 22.) The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was reaffirmed yesterday by the unanimous judgment of the United States Court of Appeals that the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any other State on account of color or previous condition of servitude. This fundamental law of the Republic has been nullified in various Southern States for many years, and in the political branch of Government there has not been a place of justice in any political party to challenge the offenders. To deflect the purposes of the law we have had what are called "grand-father clauses," by the terms of which illiterates are excluded from the ballot; and in the Southern States, in 1866, or are the descendants of voters who then were qualified. As has been pointed out on many occasions, this was an illiterary test that was intended to apply only to Negroes, and in practice it was made so oncous that even the militia soon found that they were not permitted to register or to vote. The grandfather clause in its essence was nullification of a national law by State law. By its terms half a dozen Southern States deny the ballot of tens of thousands of citizens, citing illiteracy and illiteracy, but actually on the ground of color. Yesterday's judgment relates to conditions in Maryland and Oklahoma, but it covers every law, constitutional or statutory, in every State south of Mason and Dixon's boundaries and hoous suffrage has been denied and the state has been denied. It is more than a mere assertion of right. It holds to responsibility under the law all who ties from Frankfurt, Ky. The "Ky.

Supreme Court on Monday, June 21, in declaring the Oklahoma and Maryland gro voters, unconstitutional, have called on the leading newspapers of the country, the decision strikes a death blow to dis- of the citizenry as against another. The presses already published: deny the right. The authors and administrators of the grandfather trickery may now be proceeded against, like any other offenders. The grandfather may be congratulated upon having at that a Constitution that is alive in all its parts. For forty-five years, first by violence and then by legislation, we have endured the reproach that one article of the funda was not properly enforced. It planned a local sovereignty to ignore it. Today, by the unanimous decree of a court presided over by a great Chief Justice who was once a Confederate soldier, we have a Constitution that guarantees equal rights to all irrespective of race or color. Thousands of white men have an much reason to applaud this judgment. They are the people of the Republic, for color or religion or race alone, gives oligarchy, bigotry and arbitrocry an excuse for banning them in any ground that prejudice my name. THE VISION RENEWED. (N. Y. World, June 22) Since it has taken almost half a century to get a fair and square judgment from the Supreme Court of the United States sustaining the Fifteenth Amendment, there will be an immediate expectation that there will be an immediate voting conditions at the South. The value of the decree annulling the "grandfather" device for the restricting the fact that it once more bound in the equality of all men before the law. Long years of terrorism, supplimented by long years of discriminating policies, plains not only of the opportunity but of the Centre to vote. A generation of black men have upon the scene been trained from birth to regard the dui- these and previous issues. The parties chiefly, to whom a deceased change in public opinion takes place in several southern states, increase in the colored vote even now. Yet the judgment loses nothing in importance by reason of these considerations. It re-establishes an idea. It does not change the judicial situation. It does not a production from the highest judicial authority that if black men are to be denied the ballot because of their race, men similarly attained must suffer the same disqualification. The States will find no difficulty in disfairishing Illiterates. They cannot by evasion and blacks alone. We expect to see this judgment honestly observed presently in all places. There was a time when conscientious individuals criminal practices by which elections in the period after Reconstruction were carried. Schooled in Civil War and race hatred, they had done things that were not in their own best interest. So now the Supreme Court having spoken, thousands of true Americans will be called back to political standards which they are correct. How the problem is to be worked out is a question that may properly be left to the enlightened and patriotic court but set before the South at the old vision of the Declaration. In that aspiration, never fully realized by all, men of any race, lies the one hope of a true Reconstruction. To white men as well as to black men. The highest privileges of citizenship belong by right to those who are worthy of them. If restrictions there are on white men to those who are indifferent and shameless, regardless of race or color. No grandfather can save them. No favoring law can supply their shortcomings. The prejudice can elevate them above men better equipped for self-government. THE END OF THE "GRANDFATHER CLAUSE." That clumsy instrument for the illegal disfranchisement of voters, the "grandfather clause" of various Southern state constitutions, succeeded for a time in the attention of the United States Supreme Court. No case was presented there which fairly challenged the principle of the odious discriminations by which the state has made a test class of citizens a suffrage test which it was not courageous enough to impose on all other classes. Emboldened by the success of the test class, the state made a test based on race and color which only properly be done by a test of universal application like literacy or the possession of property, the people nominated in a permanent encasel "discrimination" in which clear and sweeping issue of constitutionality could be raised, and was at once raised. They invited, even commenting on the unanimous adverse judgment just handed down by the Supreme Court. Oklahoma pretended to impose a literacy test on voters, but made that test frudentulent on its race by exempting 1866, or at any time prior thereto, were entitled to vote under any form of government or were residing in one of their local descendants. The restriction, as to those entitled to vote on January-1, 1866, was obviously almed on the Fourteenth Amendment to that law, to that law not only suffrage and whose citizenship was just about to be established by the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment to that law, but when Maryland—a state which, like Oklahoma, has only a small percentage of Negro voters first experimented with the scope of the restriction was either intentionally or accidentally widened as so to include alien immigrants who own countries prior to their own countries prior to Japan all their descendants. In this form the discrimination was not based solely on race color or previous condition of residence, but on the chiseled white body of citizens as well as a disfranchised Negro body. But the alien whites made so vigorous an assault on ostensia that the constitutionally overwhelmed defeated at the polls. Oklahoma foolishly emphasized and accentuated the issue with the Federal law, which has now justly held that the Oklahoma literary test is not an honest test, but a test of courage for the purpose of annuring the tenurees of the Fourteenth Amendment. Everybody knows that that has been the grandfather clause' legislation. The Southern states has been that the average colored voter, because illiterate voters, cannot be forced to demonstrate the wisdom of giving him the vote. A state cannot be censured for restricting suffrage if it fails to urgently demands such a restriction. But the fault with the restriction undertaken in most of the Southern states has been that it tried to make color and not on character and intelligence, literacy test is constitutional, as the Supreme Court says. But it ought to be a real test, applied with uniformity undescribles, whether white or black. If the Southern states feel that they need to restrict their surface materially they can easily accomplish that end without defying the Fourteenth Amendment, which permits a military test would be vastly much more serious than it has been is no exemptions at all were permitted. For the good of the community illiterate aliens and whites ought to be asked to make the test demanded by the Negro voters. Then no complaint of inequality could arise and the sense of racial discrimination injustice would be greatly leased. Nothing is more absurd in a democratic community than a right to vote depending upon the accident of ancestry. As Voltaire said, a good citizen should not be a "grandfather clown" who never be anything but a piece of demagogue hypocrisy. NO "SUBTERFUGE" FRANCHISE. (N, Y. XERMONT-BURT) Monday's decision of the Supreme Court, in the case of the Oklahoma franchise law, ends a long series of the Fifteenth Amendment to nullify the Fifteenth Amendment to the constitution of the United States. That Amendment, as the Court clearly pointed out, was intended and supposed to entire country. Yet laws have been unused cunningly devolved to circumvent it. Several of the statutes have, in turn, been unused to circumvent the Supreme Court; but until now the judges have avoided meeting the --- --- judge Johnson. The Oklahoma case, however, involved a "form" requiring a judge to be deposited on January 16, 1913. The opinion of the Court was thought to forbid him from December, when it upon the "injunction" Oklahoma. Plain indication was then given that the judges believed the case was nearly near to confirming the Constitution argument of the lawyer in that case. Judge Hughes replied from the bench: Next to the unanimity of the Court, the most gratifying circumstance of the decision that was read by Chief Justice W. H. McKenna, and formerly a Confederate soldier. With him fully agreed two other Southern judges, Justice Lamar and Justice McReynolds. These men and Justice McReynolds, with political difficulties of the South which led to the adoption of laws designed to exclude the mass of the Negroes on theanches. Yet personal or regionation difficulties could be allowed to sway those set for the expounding of the law of the land. White, Lamar and McReynolds were judges Wat and Southerners afterwards. It was simply to act as 'huscombe a judge.' Two feeling will well up in the hearts of thoughtful Americans as they understand the significance of the court's decision. This 52-year-old woman prints that we have a Constitution and a justice system that which the rights of the people and the law are. The very least-as feeling her care," said Hooker, in his famous apoptopeo *Law*. It is the law which has now come to be called the law of thousands of lowly struffers who could scarcely articulate their sense of being wronged. And it is law which has now come to be called the law of common-sense as well as justice. Everybody has always known that these discriminating suffrage statutes can do one thing while compassing another. But now it is the technologically-loving judges who have brushed aside the heart of the case, and declared abundantly that no such thing as a "substitute" franchise can exist in this republic. All the talk for yours past of doing some justice has been for the courts seems weak and pals compared with what the Supreme Court has done to exalt itself as a justice of the law. By this one splendid stroke. For the rest—and this is the other feeling we mean—there will be full sympathy with the South in the efforts to educate itself to the new conditions. Lestiatures will need to act, in order to square their statutes with the Supreme Court's own laws, and to that it that public opinion should move intelligently. We have all got to face the facts. North as South we now have a common school education. If we are in peril from an ignorant vote, the remedy is not to suppress it, but to be just and fair to it and to ensure that it is already powerful movement for better common-school education in the South ought to follow the Supreme Court's advice to effort, others to "educate matters" in Robert Lowe's phrase, and to bring about a better feeling, based on political justice, between the cases of the two sides. THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE. N. K. TIMER, June 23. "The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, says that vigorous political essayist whose pen name is Savoyard, has been a Statesman and had nothing to do with them. Hell and Utopia—Stevens and Summer—brought them forth. Perhaps a summer Utopianism would have been better. Stevens's sentence, but the Fifteenth Amendment, at any rate, was a blunder in statesmanly and left terrible consequences on the people. It was a determination which has never been thwarted in the history of the human race by legislation or any other thing whichever—the determination of man to rule the land wherein he lives. The bloodshed and misery which resulted from it in the first year of the declaration, because for many years that determination has had full tail in all that part of the country where it has been enforced of that determination by terrorism was succeeded by more peaceful methods.

(BL LESTER A. WALTON.) WITH Bert Williams standing out in bold relief as the principal fun-maker blit-Ziegfeld Follies of 1915" which opened Monday evening in a blaze of glory at the New Amsterdam Theatre, and with the announcement given out this week by the Shuberts that they had signed Charlie Hart, formerly of Avery & Hart, for a term of three years to appear in Broadway musical productions, the opinion prevails that the real colored comedian is soon to come into his own. "Real colored comedian" is used advisedly, for with the exception of Bert Williams real colored comedians on Broadway have been a rare article in recent years. There have been blackface comedians galore, however, such as the Jolsons and Tinneys, some of whom are clever, but no more clever than some of our real colored fun-makers who would make good if given a chance. Like the modern dance, the blackface comedian is all the rage just now, and in most of the big Broadway productions you will find one, be he the real thing or imitation. Of course, with the real thing little inconsistencies crop out now and then to embarrass and discourage him. You seldom see the picture of a Simon-pure in the daily paper, under cork or otherwise, although the imitation is frequently published in the dailies surrounded by a bevy of white beauties. Nor is the real thing permitted to work on the stage with maidens fair, but the imitation, no matter how black, has the privilege of romping about with damsels fair in such lively fashion and in such close proximity as to sometimes transfer some of the cork to the pink-cheeked members of the fair sex, which stunt is oftimes done "By accident on purpose," and invariably causes a big laugh. A very interesting, as well as bewildering, subject is "The Psychology of Color Prejudice," where you will find absurdities and incongruities growing wild in prodigal protusion. But these are adverse conditions due to a lack of knowledge of things, and time alone will bring about a happier and a more natural adjustment. After all, it is the opportunity in life we first want, and with this fundamental ambition realized all else follows in consecutive order as do the seasons in the year. For instance, for the past five or six seasons Bert Williams has been doing pioneer work, and the path of the pioneer is never strewn with roses. Sacrifice after sacrifice and concession after concession had to be made while blasting a way for himself and others, and it is gratifying to note that in this beautiful June time of roses there are encouraging evidences that Mr Williams' efforts are bearing fruit. So those of us who lament over the fact that the daily papers evince a preference for publishing photos of white comedians under cork and in comical poses to those colored comedians, whether under cork or face clean and all dressed up in their Sunday best, etc., let us consider that after all such inconsistencies are trivial when the real big question — Opportunity — is taken into consideration. To earn an honest livelihood is one of the big questions in life, and there are thousands of people, both colored and white, who would be perfectly willing to have their pictures kept out of the papers if given an opportunity to make a big salary on Broadway as a comedian Vanity is one thing; bread and butter is another. The Lafayette Theatre. Some bill at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week, and even the heat failed to lessen the enthusiasm of the patrons, who were most generous in their applause. The headliners were Shelton Brooks and Clarence Bowen, who were a hit on the big time last winter. This is truly an entertaining turn and both young men shine brilliantly from a musical standpoint. Clarence Bowen is one of the sweetest singers in vaudeville, and he is developing into a finished artist, while Shelton Brooks plays the piano and sings his own compositions in a diverting manner. And he displays taste and judgment by putting over his numbers without overexerting himself or shouting as some performers deem it necessary. This act is really, big-time caliber. The biggest applause receivers on the bill were Hampton and Bowman, who went big at each performance, in some instances stopping the show. The act is stronger now than when seen at the Lafayette during the winter with three people. Hampton & Bowman have finally, whipped into shape a turn which should make them sit up and take notice on any bill, large of small. Their work as singers stamps them as artists. The Kratons, considered the best hoop-rolling act in the business, are back at the Lafayette after an absence of several months, and they work with their accustomed vim and win the admiration of the audience with their great work, with the hoops. The other acts on the bill the first half THE WEDDING OF MARY AND JOHN HAMPTON & BOWMAN were the Metropolitan Players, real actors in a real sketch; Mack & Sherwin and Hecklow & Roller. Brooks & Bowen, the Kratons and Hampton & Bowman have been held over for the second half of the week. McKissick & Craddock and Marshall, King & Marshall were among the acts to go big the second half of last week. The Musical Spillers will headline the bill at the Lafayette Theatre next week, and Fiddler & Shelton will top the bill the following week.

A musical event looked forward to with interest is the forthcoming recital to be given under the management of R. G. Doggett's Musical Bureau at Bethel A. M. E. Church, 54 West 1320 street, Wednesday evening, May 30, when Miss Fannie Wise, coloratura soprano, and Miss Ethel L. Richardson, pianist, will appear. This will mark Miss Wise's debut in concert, though she has had ample experience upon the stage in musical comedy, having been with Bob Cole and Rosamond Johnson in their "Shoo Fly Regiment" and "Red Moon" companies for four seasons. She was in Europe with "In Dahomey," and is the only colored woman who has ever played at the Haymarket Theatre, London, where she was with Charles Hawtrey in "The Indecision of Mr. Kingsbury." She also was a member of the Empire Theatre pantomime, playing a leading role in a cast with such celebrities as Adeline Genee. When she returned to America and joined the Cole & Johnson forces she created a sensation by her singing of Rosamond Johnson's famous "The Bleeding Moon." This song she will give in costume at the recital. Miss Richardson enjoys quite a local reputation as a pianist, having appeared on several occasions, the most recent being at Carnegie Hall in connection with the Music School Settlement concert. She will graduate this month from the New York Institute of Musical Art, where she has been studying under the Russian pianist, Miss Ethel Leginska, for the past two years. She will play a group of Negro spirituals transcribed by Coleridge-Taylor, and also Liszt's Hungarian Rhapodie No. 8. Her final number will be Chopin's sonata in B flat minor. Mr. Doggett announces this as a popular priced attraction, tickets being placed at the remarkably low price of 15 and 25 cents. Peter E. Brown will be the accompanist. Farmers Nosed out by Lincoln Stars. The Lincoln Stars, champion colored team, defended the Farmers at Glendale last Saturday, after a hair-raising tussle, by a score of 6 to 5 Sykes, the Lincoln's twipper, was in great form for his burglar and child naked above a hit. The Farmers got after him in the seventh for one run and forged ahead in the eighth on five hits and a base on balls. Redding relieved Sykes and held the home team hitless for the remainder of the game. Harvey Baker in Recital. Harvey Baker, lyric tenor, and several of his more advanced pupils will be heard in recital Thursday-evening, July 1, at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church 151 West 136th street, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor. The feature of the recital will be the appearance of Miss Mamie L. Hope of New Haven, Conn., a graduate pianist of Yale College. The Hartford News THE HARVEY BAKER says Miss Hope has remarkable control of the piano. Her execution is fine and she plays with much expression. Mr. Baker's work has received much favorable comment from the press. McWillie Charlton will be the accompanist. Pupils who will assist are Miss Bella Thomas, Miss Maria Alexander and Miss Marion Snead, soprano, Miss Elain Grames, mezzo, Mrs. Eleanor Johnson, contralto, Cuthbert Dash, baritone. Miss Lott Green and Mime Shoulders, costumists, Miss Rowena Thomas and Mary Johnson of Brooklyn pianists. Harry Burleigh at Bordentown School Loomstown, N. J.-H. T.

Wednesday, June 9, with your president Mr. Germanky. The property all you claimed it to be are splendid opportunities there for colored people and those buying land and have a good investment. The fact that this property is in close proximity to Camden, Philadelphia and Atlantic City is in favor, the railroad facilities are excellent, was favored in impressive condition, the fruit trees and near bears by are unsurpassed. I have no doubt that with able management and proper attention, Richland can be developed into a thriving, prosperous community. The terms of the lease appeal to the small investor who is thus enabled to secure some of this desirable property. Fours very sincerely. FRED R. MOORE. NEWS OF THE CHURCHES The Rev Richard Manuel Bolden, 105 North 10th street, said, 'The school with all Christ The Immanuel, is opened at all time, and we are freely admitted in all the schools, the schools of Christian barriers, no embarrassing questions in praising examinations. The spirit of the Father God is manifested not only in all time, but in all discipline, but any square inch or ounce of all it can with His presence. In the school the simple preparatory moral understanding of the complex independent order of things. Admission in the Spirit Realm and this school is on two things, Faith and abstinence. The Faith without effort that creates us a yielding disposition to gladly have the Holy Spirit and to well-fulfill it in the life we lead, and discipling, but serviceable and spiritually be realized when we learn of God. The Lord of Life The Immanuel says, 'The Lord of Life The Immanuel says, 'The Lord of Life The Immanuel says, 'For I am meek and lowly in heart and he shall find rest for your soul, for my sake a mass and my burden is light' and he will take joke fellow and companion tribulation. The ease with which we move and the brief from the consciousness of burden is due to the Love element in the Spirit that unifies us in and with Him. He gives us power when we withdraw ourselves from human arrangements and enter into the secret place of the most high God. We must close ourselves in the inner�us for the God. We must cast out our thinking all in anammonious thought, we must make the spirit visible, we must not think of our inabilities, weaknesses and our power gifts, but we are to realize that our capabilities in the school with us Lord The Immanuel are more wonderful than we can perceive. In the Spirit Realism the pity, tender, thoughtful and constant love of God is not and will everywhere.
