TUSKERMAN INSTITUTE, Ala., Dec. 14.—Dr. Booker I. Washington's successor has not yet been chosen. The board of trentees, after an all-day session on Monday, decided to postpone, the selection of a principal of the institution, leaving the matter in the hands of a sub-committee, which has full power to act. The committee is composed of Seth Loh of New York, chairman; W. W. Campbell of Tuskegee, vice-chairman; Victor H. Tulane of Montgomery, Frank Trumbull of New York, and Edgar A. Bancroft of Chicago. Chairman Seth Loh states that the trustees had a full discussion of the questions involved in the selection of a principal as successor to Dr. Washington and are a unit as to what is needed. The only names mentioned by the trustees were Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Taskegee Institute, and Major R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets at Hamilton Institute. A. Memorial Endowment A memorial endowment fund of $2,000,000 has been authorized, and the last that $450,000 has already been plundered was made public. A part of this, however, is contingent upon the training of the entire amount. The follo- ward fund has been issued by the trustees. "Tustegree Institute is, Booker T. Washington's monument, and his most fitting memorial is the perpetuation of its great work for the benefit of the colored people and for the promotion of helpful relations between the races. The gap at present existing between the ordinary income of the institute and its annual outgo is approximately $150.00. It is not desired to close this gap so completely as to make the institute independent of the interest and support of the living, but it is desired to reduce this gap to manageable proportions. Fare of $200.00." The trustees therefore propose to invite subscriptions to the Booker T. Washington memorial fund of $2,000.00 for the continuance of the institute and of the work for the Negro race which centers there. "It is hoped and expected that $250.00 of this sum will be given by Negroes, out of which fund a suitable memorial for Booker T. Washington shall be erected on the grounds of the institute. The trustees have already received subscriptions of more than $450.00. It is not desired to close this gap conditional upon larger sums being raised. The Negroes may therefore feel that every dollar they give will be met more than dollar for dollar by gifts from white people. The fund to be invited from the Negro people will be managed from Tuskegee Institute and will be under the charge of Emmett J. Scott, secretary. Other subscriptions to the memorial fund should be sent to William G. Willcox, treasurer of the investment committee, 3 South William street, New York City, or to the treasurer of the institute, Warren Logan, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama." BISHOP A. WALTERS SEES THE PRESIDENT Special to This New Year Ag. Washington, D. C., Dec. 15—Bishop Alexander Walters was here Monday conferring with prominent democrats. He was at the White House a short time, presumably to urge that a colored man be appointed Recorder of Deeds in order to try to stem the tide of seceding Nexro democrats. While the prelate has urged at all times the claims of Negro democrats for political preferment, the only presidential appointments they have secured were the naming of Dr. George W. Buckner as Minister to Liberia and the recent appointment of James L. Cutris as the latter's successor. MRS. WARREN LOGAN DIES AT TUSKEGEE Special to The New York Aug. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec. 14.—Mrs. Adella Hunt, Logan, wife of Warren Logan, treasurer and acting principal of this school, died Saturday, December 10, after an illness that lasted more than a year.

SING SING WARDEN TALKS TO NEGROES Nearly four thousand colored people packed Palace Casino, on Sunday, to hear Thomas Mott Osborne, warden of Sing. Sing prison, describe the methods we have been using to improve the conditions of the prisoners of Sing Sing. The meeting was held under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes for the joint purpose of giving to the colored citizens of New York an intimate acquaintance with the work Mr. Osborne has been doing and a knowledge of the accomplishments of the League during the past year. In addition to Mr. Osborne's address, the program consisted of musical numbers by Europe's Orchestra, Freeman's New Church Society, and Jeter cellist. A report on the work of the League during the last year in ten cities was given by E. K. Jones, associate director. L. Hollingsworth Wood introduced Mr. Osborne and Dr. E. P. Roberts presided. A collection of $105.57 was taken up, following an appeal by Charles W. Anderson, ex-Collector of Internal Revenue; at present chief investigator of the Department of Agriculture. The warden described the new system at Sing Sing. He pointed out that serious disorders had been reduced 64% as a result of his methods and that the average number of escapes per year had been reduced from 9 3-7 to 3. In fact, in one year before he became warden, 19 prisoners had escaped. The number of men becoming insane, as a result of solitary confinement, was in one year reduced 50%. In telling about his recent difficulties, he spoke in part as follows: "The most dangerous man is not the criminal who comes up from the crowd. It is the educated criminal who, because of his education and his craft and the misuse of his opportunities for good, is the real menace to society. Most monstrous and most untemptible man that I have ever met, either in prison or out, is a college graduate. "When you read about the attacks on the warden of Sing Sing, you want to know that the attacks were started and formulated by this clever type of criminal, the criminal with the superior intellect. These are not the men who attempt to steal 45,000. It is not the man who attempts to steal a pocketbook. It is the man who attempts to steal a judgement from the people. "In prison they 'want everything in sight; they are not satisfied unless they have the opportunity to buy up privileges. They don't like the present system, and they want to understand it and under him the old system of graft has been done away with. These men, I am proud to say, I have offended." Referring to the investigation of Sing Sing, Mr. Osborne declared that District Attorney Weeks, who is conducting it, knows naught of the actual conditions of Sing Sing. "Weeks ago," said he, "I invited the District Attorney and the grand jury to visit Sing Sing and look it over and see things for themselves. Mr. Weeks accepted, but he has not yet visited the prison. At the close of the meeting the Rev. William P. Hayes, pastor of M. Olivet Baptist Church, proposed a resolution of confidence in Warden Osborne, which was unanimously adopted. The National Urban League will donate to the Mutual Welfare League one-half of the collection, after the expenses of the meeting shall have been deducted.

TOILET ARTICLES FREE TO LADY READERS Every tiny partisan in THE ACE Better Babies Content is the recipient of a pretty little gold ring containing a real diamond. These presents which have been distressed well before Christmas, are the gifts of Elizabeth King, who is well known to readers of this magazine as a president of institutes which have been involved in bottle completion therapy, and other batten diamonds. While the little ones themselves have not had much to say about the lovely rings, they have undoubtedly admired them in their own infantile way, as is evidenced by the letters received from numerous delighted parents. It is also of interest to note that these mothers are particularly pleased with the toilet specialties that came to them gratuitously. The donor reports to us that this generosity on her part has had its compensation in a double form, the satisfaction of bringing happiness into many households, and the satisfaction given by the toilet goods. We are authorized to say that any regular reader of THE Acz, who writes between now and Christmas to Elizabeth King Institute, 154 East 32d street, 404 H, New York City, enclosing this notice, will receive a testing bottle of the new and lovely Creole Liquid Complexion Powder, and an opportunity to gain valuable premiums or cash commissions by acting as a club secretary. YOUNG RALEIGH NEGRO RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 14.—Although a white woman testified without reservation, that Garland Hinton, Jr., a resident of this city and a student at Shaw University, had committed a criminal assault upon her, a jury of twelve white men quickly gave a verdict of not guilty. The woman alleged that the assault was committed between 12 and 1 o'clock at night, but Hinton's witnesses not only established the fact that he was at home in the bed, but it was also brought out that he was of good character, while the woman's character was shown to be bad.

C., Dec. 15.—No sooner than the present Congress convened last Monday than certain Southern members began to talk about measures to curb the Negro. The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court declaring "grandfather clauses" invalid has scared some Southern members and they have nightmares nightly at they dream of the possibility of a large number of colored men voting and thus endangering their legislative careers, which they are now enjoying because their States have robbed the Negro of the right to vote. Representative Vinson, of Georgia, a staunch supporter of President Wilson, leads the vanguard of those who would discriminate against the Negro by introducing a "Jim Crow" car bill for the District of Columbia. The measure, he avers, will be vigorously pushed. It provides that within four months after enactment by Congress and the approval of the President separate and distinct accommodations for white and colored passengers must be furnished "by every transportation company, firm and person operating cars, vessels or vehicles of any character within the District of Columbia for the conveyance of passengers."

G., Dec. 15.—Augusta Magliore, Pierre Hudicourt, Edgar D. Latoiche and Leon delean, a commission representing Haiti, have arrived here to take up with the Department of State and, perhaps, the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate, the proposed treaty between this and their country. A proposed convention has already been ratified by the Haitian Congress, but before it becomes binding upon either government will have to be ratified by the United States Senate. The treaty gives the United States a protectorate, military and financial, over Haiti for the next ten years. Its ratification has aroused a number of influential Haitians, and one M. Pauleus Sannon—resigned as Minister of Foreign Affairs rather than be a party to its ratification. Special to The New York Am. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 15.—Spurned by the man she loved and eager to sacrifice her life to prove her affection for him, Reba Smith, 23 years old, of 1860 Naudain street, poured a large quantity of kerosene over her head and body, applied a match, began chanting a love song and rushed into the room in her home where her lover sat, a living, Continuing her song and severely affected by her development, the body she made an effort to embrace the man with whom she had quarreled only a moment before. He, however, terrified by the scene, ran screaming from the house and into the home, of a neighbor, where he gaped what had occurred and then fell fainting to the floor. The song of the woman soon became a shrick and she attempted to run from the house in an attempt to follow her lover. By this time, however, the flames had consumed her clothing, and had inflicted terrible buras on her entire body. In the doorway of the Naudain street house she swayed from side to side and, while a score of persons stood panic-striken on the pavement, dropped in a smoldering heap to the doorstep. Frightened Lever Arrested. It was into the home of John Brown, 1808 Naudain street, that the lover, who is Willis, Cannon, 1945 years old, of 1545 Lombard street, fired when he beheld his crazed sweetheart in flames, and Brown and Charles Waters, of 710 South Fifteenth street, who was passing by, finally ran to the side of the dying woman and succeeded in beating out what was left of the smoldering flames. They then carried her to the Robynne Hospital which is best West Wick district, but there the physicians declared the woman was beyond all medical aid. She died while they tore the charred garments from her tortured body. District Detective Sheller, of the Nineteenth district, arrested Cannon as soon as he was revived. In a dazed condition he was led to the station house, where in incoherent sentences he told his story. Cannon declared he and the Smith woman had been sweethearts and that several months ago he was called from the city. He did not have time to bid her good-by, he declared, and while away neglected to write to her. Yesterday he returned and went to the Naudain street house, intending to claim her as his bride. Thought Woman Was a Ghost: The woman met him with the accusation that he had been unfaithful and was betrothed to another, he told Detective Sheller. This he denied, he said, and, angered by the false charges, he claimed he told the jealous woman he would leave the house and never return. "If you do, I will sacrifice my life by burning myself to death, to show I love you," the woman "said, according to Cannon. "I thought she was fooling and told her to go ahead," the man continued. Cannon he walked from the room and was almost paralyzed an instant later when she rushed into the room, where he sat smoking, burning from head to foot. "I heard her sing a moment before she ran into the room, and she was singing when she ran toward me. I thought she was a ghost," Cannon said. Although the police believe Cannon's story, he was arrested as a material witness and will be detained pending an investigation. JAMES M. GREGORY ILL-IN BALTIMORE Special to THE NEW YORK-AGE Baltimore, Md., Dec. 15.—James M.

Dec. 15.—The funeral of Joseph D. Mahoney, principal of Avery Trade School, who died suddenly last week, was held at his late home last Friday. Interment took place Saturday morning.

The Baptists of the country are interested just now in the question of the ownership and control of the National Baptist Publishing House at Nashville of which the Rev. R. H. Royd is the head. Founded nineteen years ago the business has assumed mammoth proportions and at the annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention in Chicago this year there was a drawing of the line between forces of that body with the control of the printing plant as the main issue. An effort was made by certain elements of the body to enforce their claim to recognition as controlling factors of the printing plant, but this claim was disputed by the Boyd forces, the result being that there was a split in the convention, with recourse to legal machinery by the contending factions. New York ministers have been asked by THE Ace to define their attitude on the question of the relationship of the publishing board to the national body, and their statements indicate that there is a divided opinion. One of the most prominent divides of the city takes the stand that he is neutral in the matter but at the same time he is of the opinion THE REV. R. H. BOYD, D.D., LL.D. Secretary-Treasurer and Manager of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn. that the national body should have the vested ownership of the publishing house. Acknowledging that Dr. Boyd has used his personal means in the establishing of the business, this minister argues at the same time that the churches have not only made its success possible by purchasing supplies and literature, but they have also, from time to time, given liberally in volunteer contributions, to the support of the work. An attempt by certain influences in the convention, said this divine, to get reports from Dr. Boyd as to the scope and development of the work, was frustrated by Boyd, who refused to acknowledge the authority of the convention in that particular, claiming that since he had to use his private means to finance the operation of the publishing house, he could not agree to submit to the dictation of any other controlling influence. What Boyd Has Accomplished. During the last few weeks an article has appeared in various race papers giving an account of the development of the publishing house and what it has accomplished. This-article declares that the National Baptist Publishing House not only furnishes employment to scores of Negro boys and girls, but it has also given the race and Baptist denomination a rating in the commercial world, putting the denomination on an equal footing with the denominations of other races because of the creative genius displayed in operating and maintaining the institution. "The establishment has brought about the production of a religious literature distinctively racial, and it has also opened a door whereby ambitious and deserving members of the race have been enabled to acquire certain knowledge in printing and bookbinding. Dr. R. H. Boyd: the founder, and at present the secretary and manager, has just issued a book, "The Story of the Publishing Board," which is an interesting narrative of the development of the publishing house idea, telling, as it does, of the thousands of wheels that revolve in the late nineteen and mid-twentieth centuries of copies of books and publications which are sent out each quarter. Dr. Boyd's report at the close of the last fiscal year showed that in the past eighteen years the publishing board has circulated 136,794,339 copies of religious literature, which does not include hundreds of volumes of books. Letters written and received total 3,684,149, some days the number of letters received-reaching more than 2,000. The publishing house is located at the corner of Second avenue North and Locust street, Nashville, Tenn., and occupies seyer brick buildings, plant gardens, electricity, has its own heating apparatus, and included in its machinery is a press that can print 10,000 Sunday School quarteres per hour. Baptist ministers of Greater New York have given expression of their opinion as to the relationship of the publishing board to the National Baptist Convention, especially as it is affected by the recent division which occurred in Chicago. The Rev. A. Clayton Powell. The Rev. A. C. Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, did not care to give an expression for publication, but said that he was occupying a neutral position. That the fortunate occurrences at the recent session of the national body are due largely to a mistake in the same measure of right and both are to some extent wrong. He is in accord with the movement started by Miss Nannie Barroughs of Washington to hold a conference of the men who are neutrals in the matter hoping to be able to devise plans whereby the differences adjusted. The rev. of the conference he hold some time in January at Washington: The Rev. Wm. P. Hayes. The Rev. Wm. P. Hayes, pastor, of the Mi. Olivet Baptist Church, is jending to be present at the proposed conference. He is neutral, but says since the various churches from the late 19th century call for the time, to make contributions to the publishing house, especially when the Rev. W; W. Beckham, now dead, was occupied as a traveling collecting agent for the house, that the National Baptist Church has been interested in the business. Dr. Hayes submits the following statement: The disruption of the National Baptist Convention at its last annual meeting in Chicago, although it marked the most tragic epoch in the history of the church, not together and implicated those who have kept in close touch with the convention during recent years. It was simply the climax. to a situation that had been developing in intensity as the years went by. It is immineral at the moment, and the denomination ended in the most colossal denominational tragedy of the times. But the differences which led to the disruption of the largest religious organization of color in the world are serious. The convention is ultimately adjusted, if the leading spirits, in the controversy would only think soberly of the injurious effect of their present course of action on action. Let the opposite factions stop the campaign of recrimination new going on in the newspapers. In the interest of our great denomination at some date in the 'nokt' future and bring about a satisfactory adjustment of the differences which have arisen in our rails. The Rev. George H. Sims. The Rev. George H. Sims, pastor of the Union Baptist Church and president of the New York Colored Baptist State Convention, submits the following statement: The split of the National Baptist Convention is uncalled for. The conduct of the convention is the cause of the division. I attended the convention in Chicago, but fall to take sides with either faction. A lack of fair play and equal right is one of the causes that brought about the disorder. Every well- thinking Baptist, will agree, with me that we prize the publishing house 'highly', and the work which has been accomplished. This work has been entrusted to the best enterprises of our race. If the 2,000,000 Negro Baptists of this country will put together strength enough to pull Dr. Morris and Dr. Royd together the publishing house is ours, and we will bring the roughs of Washington, D.C. his had the vision of the times in arranging a meeting, to bring the forces together. The Baptists of New York State will take no part in the national struggle. The Rev. W. B. Watkins, the The Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, believes that the publishing board should be sustained. "It should not be dripped because of misunderstandings. The Rev. Mr. Boyd was put in charge of the work, but has never been given any funds with which to operate. Since he has furnished his own funds he ought to be given first consideration. The Rev. Kimball L. Warren. The Rev. Kimball L. Warrend, pastor of Bethany Baptist Church, Brooklyn, expresses himself as follows: "Regardless of the rift which has come between the church and the only religious institution of its kind belonging to the denomination in the world and deserves untold credit for its commercial strength, for its ability to accelerate influence for eighteen years or more, for its educational dominance, for its patriotic love and spiritualistic redress for the race. It is a church that has a mission and a plummet to success. For Christian Literature and other church supplies the institution has become an incarcerated religious democ- The Rev. William M. Moss, pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, said he was not sufficiently familiar with the workings of the national body to contact with the work was when the national body met in Boston. Since then his affiliation has been with the Lott Carey body, and under the district plan which eliminates direct connection with the board, out by the publishing board is used, and contributions to foreign and home missionaries are made to Dr. Jordon- the treasurer of the national body, A.D. Moss believes that all the work of the national body should be districted, with biennial or quadrennial sessions of the national body, and centralizing efforts that are now wasted through too much scattering. HOT SPRINGS, VA. Hot Springs, Va.-The Rev. C. W. Wright, of Warm Springs, Va., preached at $mith Chapel, Sunday night to an attentive and appreciative audience. At Mr. Oliver Baptist Church the pastor, the Rev. E. Wells, preached at the morning and night services. A Nursing Association—auxiliary to the Hot Springs Valley Nursing Association—was organized at $mith Chapel Thursday night, December 2. Mr. Walter Sapper, president; N. F. Berry, treasurer; A. C. Burrell, Miss Gladys Ingalls, president of the Hot Springs Valley Nursing Association, made an address, setting forth the plans, purposes and needs of the association. The Hot Springs Valley Association has the plans and much of the money necessary for the building of a community house. The Virginia Hot Springs Company has donated the land, a site has been selected and the work on the foundation will soon begin. Herefordo, the work of this association has been almost wholly confined to the whites, though some colored people have been helped. It is now proposed to extend a helping hand to the Negro and he has accepted the proposition with enthusiasm and gratitude, as evidenced by $18.0 contributed at the first meeting. White colored people are expected to secure a colored trained nurse, who will also do social service work, and for whose salary and maintenance the colored people are to provide. During more than twenty years R. N. Smith was headwaiter at the Homestead Hotel. He helped and encouraged many young, men students who are now active in the church and in professional work. Through his efforts and influence Smith Chapel was erected where religious services are held regularly. A Sunday School organized and maintained, lodges of four fraternal orders, Missons A. of N. Elks and a knights of St. John, in the housing condition, were established. Large hearted, generous and progressive, it was his earnest desire to do what he could for the uplift and betterment of his race. As a headwaiter he has but few superiors, and he retires from the Homestead Hotel with business his line of business that is surpassed by none.

Nenn ALABAMA TEACHERS CANNOT GET MONEY “Birmingham, Ala, Dec 14. -The_col- ved public school teachers of the State of Alabama are feverishly louiing te the State Treasurer for the meaxte salaries due them for the instruction they have been giving the colored youth of the State. The State Treasury is practical! bankrupt, a bond issue is imminent, and no relief seen to be in sight. Alalam. next to Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina, pays its colored tearhers the giallest salaries, and they often have to "wait long seasons for what 2s due thea. Seven years axo the State had a sur. plas of $1,900,000. today it has a deficit of approximately $3,000,000, The State Tevenues have fallen off quite consider- ably; ‘Some pabple te’ diepcged to:blirae esa eeitect thet Ake eee some a prohibition State. , Whether this is true or not, the fact remains that the State Treasury is-bankrupt, and: that Alabama is a:prohibition State. It was made-probibition by its legislature, and this, too, in the face of the fact’ that the people of Alabama have ‘three times Bone on record at the polls as opposed to prohibition. _ ;, But the legistature made Alabama “dry” and it was confidently said that th citizens of Alabama woold pay less taxes in consequence—that an era of prosperity would é>me— and that the land would be overflowing with, milk and honey instead of with alcholic beverages. 5 ; ‘What has, in reality, come to pass is this: When Gov. Jelks, of Alabama anti-prahibitionist, retired from. office eight years ago—in 1907—he left a sur- plus of $1,900,000 in the State treasury, and with all outstanding obligations paid His successor was a prohibitionist, and hefore the prohibitionist. governor re- linquish@d his reins of office the surplus had disappeared and in its place was a deficit ‘of more than a million dollars in the revenues of the State The present legislature has already made appropriations that are $3,000,00¢ in excess of the revenues’for the present fiscal year. and Gov. Henderson sa) that prohibinon cannot possibly last through another legislature. Here, then, as shown the wide difference between ‘ohibinion’s promise and. performance een years ago Alabama as a “wet’ State had a surplus of $1,900,000 and to- dav. as a “dry” State, has a dencit of $3,000,000. Prohibition, it -is sad, has cost Alabama $5,000,000 in‘ seven years ume, , Tht colored’ teachers do not ask for the return af the so-called “good ol days” ‘but they would appreciate som micasure of relief whereby they meh | receive the small pittance due them iron the State CHAS.

Se ree ae, nea ne a (or rather the Afro-American) on the, subject: “What's in a name?" After working itself into a highly excited state over the appellations of colored shows of to-day our estermed contemporary’ ‘eached the high! water mark of deliri- ousness by asking: “Why the name?” — In a recent issue of Tux Ace I an- swered to the best of my ability, the question asked by the Afro-American Ledger, now the Afro-American, and sought to show that despite the names, given for practical purposes, the colored productions referred to, endeavored as far as conditions warranted, to promote art for art’s sake as well as raise the’ standard of the colored theatrical pro- Lfession, ‘The Baltimore publication, in com- menting upon my answer, agrees with ‘Mr. Shakespeare and me that there is little to a name, and yet almost in the same breath assumes a chameleon-like attitude by making it evident that it thinks there is much to a name, -by issue ing the following statement : For quite a little while we have been feeling that this paper has deen carrying more name than war absolutely necessary, but we did not feel that it was just the time to undergo any decapitation. We have decided at last, however, to undergo an operation, so this week the paper appears under Its orix- Inal title of The Afro-American. It Js just among the things possi- ble in the coming years Spee in view ‘of the bad odor attached to hyphens we may yet further abridge: and become simply The American. However, that 1s for the: future to decide." Having intimated in my recent answer to the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, now the Afro-American, that it labored under too weighty an appellation, as well as a hyphenated one, to throw stones, I cannot with good grace comment further ‘on this one subject, except to state that I observe that the name “Ledger” un- derwent amputation and the name “Afro- American” was retained, evidently to make the title of the publication distinet- ively “Negro.” If further abridgment is Tesorted to I suggest instead of “Ameri- can,” which might confuse with the Heart publications, that “Ican,” be adopted, which might serve to inspire the “I cant’s.” ~ From the current issue of the Afro- American 1 take it that it is ailing with more than one sympton. Heretofore it was tiie name that occasioned so much mental anguish, but now I note the vehicles used by colored shows also dis- turb its peace of mind. Here is another wail with its lachrymal trimmings: The position of the race in the United States ts too critical for the average Negro to appreciate a bur- lesque of this kind. He is too busy developing another side and getting that side before the people of the country. When play promoters like Mr. Walton and others realize this striving for better things In the heart of the young generation apd use thelr genius in putting it on the stage, audience and colored theatres will be at thelr disposal for the now message. As for the “others” accused of retard- ing art and putting on theatrical at- tractions for the amusement of white people, they are in a position to answer for themselves. To make such accusa- tions against me once more puts the Afro-American in the position of show- ing lamentable ignorance as to existing conditions in the theatrical world. The Lafayette Thoatre is known as a “col- ored” theatre, and more money 1s paid colored acts than any house of its kind any where. Furthermore, every colore¢ performer, including such representative artists as Mme. Sissieretta Jones (Black Patii) and J. Rosamond Johnson, have been engaged on the vaudeville bill a the Lafayette and every effort has beer made to aid the ‘young and ambitious deemed worthy of serious consideration In the production of “Darkydom,” some of the leading performers of the country were-engaged, including Miller & Lyles Abbie Mitchell, Henry Troy and Fannie Wise, and they certainly reflect credit rather than discredit on the race, for all ate artists in their respective lines. As for the material used, let the critic of the Afro-American point out the objec: tionable features! I must confess that the Lafayette Theatre is not conducted for the express esteemed editor of the Afro-American, due to the, three score and ten years he has reached, looks at the world these Uays out of eyes too serious; that he is far more susceptible to tears toan to laughter, and, that the tragic side of life appeals to him far more than the bumor- ous. But for all that, we know that he 1s @ strong race man with tho best of intentions. In the future, however, I suggest that the Afro-ctmerican disassociate itself with those who do nothing but criticise the doers—a habit members of the race are getting into more and more. It is casy to criticise, but it is not so easy to make valuable suggestions, which re minds me that the Afro-American failed to answer my question: “What names would you suggest for colored shows of to-day, not overlooking the fact that two viewpoints must be considered—the practical and the altruistic?” THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

Diton in The Musician.) The task of adequately estimating the present status of musical achievement among the Negroes of this country is veritably a unique one It 1s pleasant to observe that their advancement in the field of music has been extraordinarily marked. Of course, we should expect this of any race which possessed a sim- ilarly rich musical endowment. ‘The musical progress of the American Negro covers practically every phase of activity known to the artistic world. He has produced.male and female singers, pianists, violinists, teachers, conductors and composers, He has developed choral societies, brass bands, and even sym- phony orchestras. The most popular of all the artist with Negro concert-goers is the femal singer. When she does not attract a large crowd, no other type of artist nec¢ try” She has become, therefore, the mos prosperous. The leading female singer: are mostly of the coloratura type, bu the dramatic voite 1s also to be found in the race to a consilerable degree. Oc- casionally, one may enjoy a program o} art-songs exclusively. The male singers constitute a very de- termined lot. I say “determined” be- cause practically all of them follow, some other line of work for a living as, for instance, the postal service, retaining their yoice work as a side issue When an oratorio, cantata, or opera is to be xiven, they can, however, always he counted upon to hold up whatever rol happens to be given them. As instrumentalists. The violinists, too, have done excep- tionally good work. “The singing tone of the violin renders itself very adapt- able to the Negro temperament In fact, it takes just such an instrument to make ‘the “shies” so abundantly heard in the Negro folk-song a . Rut to the pianists must be given the credit for having gained most of the mueival cecognition for the race Negro manists not only play but they teach, Thee conduct, and they have abundant talent’ for composing. They have de- sloped an enviable piano technic, a re- muorkable breadth of expression, tone, cree stole -indeed, all uf the prerequis- ates of the talented” pisnist ‘The candy tors, previonsly mentioned have fone work af speeilic values ta their Feopue tive conumunities in attracting the ase. ta goed music Moreover, from a techne al noint of view, they have evinced sew ring ability in devele pine in’ the:r Varad bndies vood attack, bal. ance of tone cantrasts, tonal effects, and other detarts indispensable to cifective interpreta n Alessrs. Morganstern & Walton provided a most entertaining bill for their many patrons the first Ialf of the week, which was made up of acts of class and ability, Marghall & “Tribbte were headliners, and their comedy: kept the audiences in the best of humor, They have a good line of talk and put over their songs in good style. « - i Buster & Bailey, who established themselves favorites at the Lafayerte Theatre about a year ago, came through with some strong comedy, singing and dancmg, and have improved, if anything, since their lage appearance in Harlem, May & May are in their third and last week at the Lafayette, and are domg one of their laughable skits, which went big, Ali Rajah and assistant, exponents of mysticism, bewilder with their -work, and they do so seemingly without effort, The Otpheuny Models cre- ated ‘a favorable impression, Saturday afternoon has been expressly set aside for the ladies and no men will be admitted, on which occasion members of the gentler sex will be given an opportunity to ask Ali Rajah any aueations desired. cere. tae eter. Peetere sere < Meee, Smee largely dependent upon the work of the music teacher. Many of the leading anists of today received their musical foundation at the hands of Negro teach- ets. Of course the teachers have their obstacles and problems, too. Probably the most perplexing one is ‘that of in- come. Extremely low salaries tend to limit their capacity, They strive, how- ever, to make the best of it, and have afforded much: inspiration through their pupils’ recitals which they make as at- tractive as possible because, of competi- tion. AS to the larger bodies Sf musicians, the most prevalent is the choir. For the most part, these are quite ordinary, hampered ‘largely by lack of funds. Practically all of them are volunteer choirs, composed of hard-working peo- ple who necessarily find it irksome to fender efbcient service on Sunday as well, Organized Activities. Along the line of choral societies, however, the Negro has achieved some very fine results. We find these socie- ties giving at least one large concert annually, drawing on nearby towns as well as from the city population proper. The choirs, of course, only attract their respéctive church congregations. Considerable interest, too, has been awakened in the brass band. Quite a number of Negro schools encourage this feature, and the Ninth Cavalry Band, U.S. A, is a notable example of that phase of ‘musical activity. Far superior to this effort, is that of attempting to organize symphony or- chestras. The result was most praise- worthy. What these organizations lacked in tone finesse, their members made up in the seriousness of their purpose. It was the Negro’s sole opportunity to per- form a great symphony, But many a pianist and viohnist has been given the unusual opportunity of appearing in a concerto with orchestral accompani- ment. 5 ‘As to the composers, perhaps the rec- ognition of Negro musical talent in the cyes of the white world is to rest abso- lutely with them. As yet nto great com- poser has come upon the scéne. Con- siderable work of a serious nature has been done, however. I dare say that development along art-sing lines has superseded all other endeavor in com- position. But there is high promise for symphonic achievement as far as native talent goes Unfortunately it is.a matter of grave concern whether or not the Negro composer will ever be able to free himself, even partly, from the demands the schoolroom make upon him. Let us not forget to make mention. too, of Negro festivals, for through these splendid results have been obtained, ‘They last from two to three days and at least one celebrated Negro artist is en- gaged to appear. Even in the lecture field a start has been made. But most of the lecturing is incorporated in the performance. Negroes enjoy, most of all, the hearing of the music Who wrote it and the circumstances under which is was composed are of secondary importance. It is also interesting to note inthe Negro's musical development the fact that he has not omitted tangible self- help in his development campaign The race has given two of its worthy young artists scholarships to Europe. The money given in either case would hardly finance the average college man for one sear. But the important fact 1s that the scholarships were offered and given T have undertaken now as much of a resume of the work covered by Negroes as 1s possible, heing compelled to depen entirely upon impressions received at random. As was stated at the begin- ning, the Negro has done something tr every known phase of musical activity. That and more He has found the need of what might be termed “exten- sion” work A” single individual—a woman - has for the past decade travele« from place to place throughout the coun try, stopping at any gne place just long enough te orgamze a mixed chorus of usually several hundred voices to create more active interest in Negro folk-songs To crown her visit with complete suc: cess, she engages one of the finest ani largest halls in town and gives a folk- song concert interspersed with composi: tions by Negro composers with now and then a legitimate classic thrown in Such concerts, hy the way, find a good deal of interest with the white people who attend sometimes in latge numbers, attracted by the folk-song. «emonstra- tions. Drawbacks. But as bright as the outfook would ap- pear, there are still some things that bar the Negro from higher achtevement We are constrained to believe that only certain amouiht of progress canbe effected ssnier anv given set of con- ditions Granting that the Negro has accom- plished all that could hie expected of him under his present economic restraint, it is hut logical and reasonable to assume that he will not advance beyond his present standard rnless that “restraint” is at least temporarily dunmished Tn RA cia Pichia nde elaaasdon do or entirely by his race to that of the one or two fortunate ones who enjoy ex- “clusive white partonage. There is a difference in their living, in the equip- ment of their studies, in'short, in there intellectual equipment. There is but one solution to present difficulties, which in reality is not a soln- tion but an ameliorative measure. That 13 to give the musical leaders of the Negro race an opportunity, now and then, to be heard before white audiences exclusively, receiving of course the sam remuneration as other artists of their particular class. Indeed this would be more of an encouragement than one would at first suppose, for several such recitals together with their regular pro- fessional work among their own race, would enable them at least to reserve the summer months for musical research and investigation, which, through the process of instruction and contact, would be passed on to the lesser lights and future aspirants, A. fess charitable’ attitude than this spells the fate of the American Negro’ musical future. An dpdividual_canno support a family in these hard times ot six hundred dollars a year and stud} with good ‘teachers. In fact, none of th artists of the race could keep up thei work on such a salary were it not fo their outside concerts. It is an amusing coincidence, though, that the length o} time given’an artist-teacher to concert: ize is inversely proportional to his abil ity to teach. And since practically al of the artists of the race are goo teachers, the chance to tour for any prot itable length of time is very slim. Then there are other conditions which tend to keep the Negro back. Although appreciation and attendance at concerts is very encouraging, the admission fe is very small Ten cents is the usua price for concerts. One may demand fifteen cents for a first-class affair, and ‘occasionally twenty-five cents. This latter fee will some day become universal if the women's clubs and other ‘organizations succeed in their present co-operation with the artists Practically all of the touring is done in the South where the masses of the race are found Encouragement Needed. But why mention these disparaging things after the encouraging and hope- Fal words at the outset? Simply. to show how dearly the Negro artist has bought his success. Does he not deserve commendation and tangible encourage- ment to do more? Or has this progress been made to no avail? It is possible for the Negro here in America to pro- duce another Coleridge-Taylor under the conditions mentioned herin? Or is England alone to have the honor of hav- ing given to the world the first and onl) distinguished musician of Negro de- scent? The Negro here in America ha certainly the material. Not many months ago a young colored girl scarcely out of her “icens” won over two thousand dollars’ worth of prizes at one of ou! prominent Eastern university conserva: tories in composition. What more proo: of Negro talent do we want than that! BASKETBALL.

White teams, Indians and all other novelties do not and can never figure in a col- ored championship. These teams are often good as attractions, but ave no rating at the end of the season. Of course, if the Indians should defeat St. Christopher, such a result would. un- questionably' effect the prestige of the Parish House boys. 1 haven't any line ‘on the Redskins, but from my intimate knowledge of St. Christopher's team the New York boys should win. The Delaney Rifles of Pittsburgh, Pa., are coming to town prepared to do or dic in their effort to stop the champion “Incorporators.” The night of this af- fair, Friday, January 14, 1916, will be a society event as well as a basket bal attraction. Great preparations are be- ing made in regard to it. Henry Lind- say, the manager of the Delaney boys, is enthused over his team having the opportunity to appear in New York, the most important basket ball center in the world. It is needless to say tha! he is working day and night for 2 victory for Pittsburgh. Orders for boxes for the “Incorpora: tors’-Delaney Rifles game on January 14, 1916, may be left at the Tempo Club 119 West 136th street, New York City Telephone, 441 Aubudbon. Another new’ team in the field is the Chicago Smart Set Athletic Associa tion, which is composed of the bes! players of the high schools and college: around Chicago, Ill. “Jap” Brown, on ‘of the former managers of basket bal at Howard University, is the manager of this new team, and “Pop” Lewis, well known in New York, is one of the members. This basket ball aggregation may spon make its appearance in New York against one of the big local teams. It is easily seen that basket ball con- tinues to spread “the country over.” When the Delaney Rifles appear at Manhattan Casino, there, will be all kinds of novelties and attractions to greet them.

Washing- ton removes from the sphere of active influence the most commanding figure of the Negro race,” said Prof. Miller.- “For nearly a quarter of a century he has stood in the forefront of -racial_ move- ments, shaping the policy and directing the procedure for ten millions of Amer- ican citizens. He has been the accepted spokesman and ambassadar of his peo- ple to the great white race. “The marvelous accomplishments of Bowker 1, Washington were but the out- grewth of his character.” Prof, Miller eenunued, “He had an ilfimined mind and an enlightened understanding, like Abraham Lincoln, he always iollowed ‘the leading of that inner heht, which served as a lamp unto his feet and a guide unto Ins pathway He was al- ways calm and, composed while all around was excitement aed coniusion, dor he rehed wath tullest contidence upon the assurance of intuition and a certitude of imstinct He knew the race problem mm all of its ramitications-perhaps better than any man who has lived. Ths Knowledge was gained not merely as a result of smformation and experience, but through’innate understanding of complex human relationship “Mr. Washington was endowed with an unusual element of common sense. His was the philosophy of the common- place: the explication of the simple things. Like Aesop. Expicetus and Ben- jamin Franklin, he sewed upon the folk- thought and folk-sense oi the common people and set themgforth m_ pomted phrases. re es “Mr Washington never, in avowed terms. demed the importance of pulitical rights upon the weliare oi the race, but. feeling assured that there was little hope -of immediate restoration of such rights, he placed the stress of emphasts upon the sobriety, industry and thrift as the means by.which the.

WASHINGTON, Dorchester, Mass.—A great man has been iaken to the other life from among the mortals of earth, Of lowly origin, not possessed of worldly goods, envirowed during his early life by everything: that tended’ to obliterate all high aspirations, all holy attributes, yet, by the force of the grea soul within him, breaking through the bondage of caste, with great earnestness in his desire to better the condition of this people, he won the attention and re- spect of so many of the learned and wealthy of the country that honors were awarded him, wherever his name was known — and through it all, his al most childlike simplicity of manner never failed him, and his high moral tone was never tarnished . More than any other man of his peo- ple was he enabled to imbue them with the’ dream that education was. thrift, would bring prosperity and happiness to them, He lived long enough to know that all hus efforts had not been in vain: and that the dream, had become a. reality. His memory will be cherished with grat- nude and reverence, by generdtions yet to come! F Is his name not worthy to be place¢ among others who are now enrolled. ir the Hall of Fame? . MARY J.
