XXIX No. 15 "LYNCHING IS CONTAGIOUS" University Commission on Southern Race Questions Severely Condemns Lynch Law College Professors from Eleven of the Leading, Southern Universities, Plan to Better Feeling Between Races. Commission Meets at Durham, N. C.— Issues Open Letter to Young College Men of the South to Curb Growth of Lynching Spirit—Colored Men Address Commission and Make Favorable Impression. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE DURHAM, N. C.—Resolutions against lynching and segregation, and the mapping out of numerous plans for betterment of feeling between the white and colored citizens of the South marked the session of the University Commission on Southern Race Questions, held in this city last week. The commission, composed of eleven college professors from eleven Southern colleges, held its third session at University College and the University of North Carolina. At the closing session of the commission on January 6 the proposal framed and submitted by Clarence Poe, an advocate of race segregation, failed of endorsement, the college professors refusing to agree with Poe, whose proposition follows: Should like to emphasize that there are three parties to the race problem—first, the Negro; second, the wealthy or professional white man unaffected by Negro competition; third, the poor laboring white man unaffected by Negro competition; fourth, would not have less sympathy or thought for the Negro, but more for the disadvantaged white man. Hope your commission will study this third factor in your discussion, does not encourage better leadership and community. Also make a study of mulatto Jews and achievements as distinctions from pure Negro and in connection with extant mulatto increases. Colored Men Address Commission On the evening of January 4 talks were made before the commission by L. Merrick, C. C. Spaulding and A. M. Moore, three prominent colored men in the State, who fassor's impressed the auditors. John Merrick asked the minister to tell him where he was educated, stating that on occasion a white man made a similar inquiry because he did not say "this or that." "I told him that my education at Cole's brickyard in Raleigh and worked in a barber shop in Durham," stated the speaker. In an open letter denouncing Lynching in college and in curbing the growth of the lion spirit, the open letter follows. "An open letter from the University Commission on Southern Race Questions to the college men of the South on Lynching. This letter is not written to convince you Lynching is wrong, for you know it already. Its object is to show others, wherever opportunity presents itself, that Lynching does more than rob its victims of their constitutional rights and of their lives it simultaneously lynching law and justice and civilization, and outrages all the inner human sentiments and feelings. The wrong that it does to the wretched is almost as nothing compared to the inner life to the Lynchers themselves to the community, and to society at large. "Lynching is a contagious social disease, and as such is of deep concern to every American citizen and to every lover of civilization. It is of special concern to you, and you can do much to abolish it. Vice and crime know that their best, though unconscious and unwilling, allies are bit unwarmness and humidity on the part of educated 'good citizens'. Wrong is weaker than right, and must yield whenever right is persistent and determined "It is, of course, no argument in favor of lynching, nor can we derive any legitimate satisfaction from the facts that it is not confined to any one section of our country and that the victims are not always black. One of the bad features of lynching is that it quickly becomes a habit, and like all bad deepens and widens rapidly. Formerly lynchings were mainly incited by rape and murder, but the habit has spread until now such outrages are committed for much less serious crimes. "The records of lynching for 1914 compiled by three different agencies, give the total number for the year as 52 54 and 74. The conflicting reports cannot be unarmed, but to avoid any possibility of aggression we must employ DO YOU WANT FUNERAL OF THE LATE PHILIP I.

Duke of New York have promised J. R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, a donation and the school authorities will give a like amount of $1,250 from other sources. This information has been communicated to the bishop of the second episcopal district and the trustees of the institution, and they are now devising plans for a campaign for the purpose of raising the required amount to secure this conditional donation. When Mr. Hawkins was president of Kittrell College, Washington Duke, the father of J. B. and B. N. Duke took him into his confidence and told him of his desire to do a little something for the school and the poor preachers of the two conferences in North Carolina. At the suggestion of Mr. Hawkins $5,000 was at that time donated as a special investment for the benefit of the superintendent and most preachers of the North Carolina and Western North Carolina Conferences and $5,000 was given outright to Kittrell College. The $5,000 for the preachers was turned over to a special board of trustees created for that purpose and properly invested, and at the annual sitting of each of these conferences the interest from this fund is duly reported. The $5,000 for the school was put into and into the hands of the school and a new dormitory for girls which has been completed and named Duke Memorial Hall. This offer of $12,500 is to help pay off the remaining indebtedness of this new building. Special to the New York A.M. RAMBLER, N.C.-Dr. L. M. Mcauley and Dr. F. J.

The lot and building on the corner of South Blount and Dane streets, owned by Dr John H. Love, has been secured The building will be remodeled and put in hospital shape. Work will be in a short while, and it is believed that the people of Raleigh and the State at large, as well as the many friends of the late Dr Boerer T. Washington all over this country, will cooperate with the heads of this movement in making the proposed institution one of usfulness to New roses. The establishment of this institution will offer opportunities to colored physicians as it will be strictly under the management of colored physicians for further information write to Dr L. L.

For the past five years Mr. Lucas complained of ill health off and on, and on several occasions was compelled to go to the local hospitals for relief. Although various reports were put in circulation about his health, he would in- The Landman Journal variably bob up feeling much improved and with his characteristic good humor that made him such convenial company that make him such conglomerate company. The veteran performer, according to his attending physicians, died of cirrhosis of the liver, although during life the nature of his complaint was most baffling to medical experts, having submitted to several X-ray examinations, but without favorable results. Last week Mr. Lucas became seriously ill at the home of Mr and Mrs. William C. Fikins, of the Beatrice Apartments, 15 West 131st street, with whom he had been stopping for nearly a year. His condition was such that he was taken upon request to the Harlem Hospital for treatment, but after remaining in the hospital one day he sent word to his lawyer that he wanted to come to her to come to the hospital.

Many years ago he attracted general attention as Uncle Tom in "The Color of Heaven," he was the only colored member of the cast, making such a hit that he was complimented by Harper Beecher Stowe, author of the piece. Mr Lucas was a member of one of the first companies pat out years ago by the late Charles Frohman, and in a recent number of a widely read magazine appeared an article telling of Sam Lucas' activities with the Frohman organization. Mr Lucas appeared in vaudeville occasionally up to a year and a half ago, "The Red Moon" was the last musical show he appeared at. A noted star-teller and a man of naval skills, despite his advanced years and ailments. Sam Lucas was an intering figure in and out of the theatrical profession.

A., a frame house, three and a half stories high, the men could have a half-walled completely destroyed by fire Friday morning, January 7, entailing a loss of $3,000. Several young men who had rooms on the third floor were trapped by the flames, but the firemen rescued them by fire. The men could save one of their belongings, and were taken out in the chill morning air, clothed only on their sleeping garments. They were taken care of in neighboring Jones. The men whose lives were endangered were C. M. Cau, secretary, R. N. Dunn assistant secretary, H. A. Hogan, Chloe Dldsase, H. A. Haves, A. Brown, C. Jones, J. Mince and William Johnson. Temporary quarters have been established in 1721 Ayers square and Dr. J. Bourne, president of the board of directors, has appointed a committee to arrange for immediate rebuilding, Dr. P. L. Hawkins, Gardner Unek, J. H Stewart and I. H Nutter compose the committee, and will handle all fund-supported from the public. Secretary Cam denounces as unqualifiedly false the unfounded report that women were in the building at the time of the fire. There is no clue as to the origin of the fire, as the building was completely gutted, only the shell standing. SHE WANTED TO MARRY WELL-TO-DO OLD NEGRO Special to The New York Times. WYKEGAN, IL—County Clerk Law A Hendee foiled the get-rich-quick plans of a Milwaukee woman New Year's day when she brought into the clerk's office a Negro, aged and decrepit, whom she was bound to make her husband. The county clerk looked over the pair and informed them that he could not give information them to be good and told the woman she had best to go back to Milwaukee, whence she came. "Nix on the Milwaukee stuff," said the would-be leap year bride, "every time I go into court there the judge says, says he, 'Mormon Mag. thirty days' I may try Chicago, but my on Milwaukee They know me there." Word has since come to the county officials that the woman is well known in police circles of the Wisconsin metropolis and that she invaded the Negro into agreeing to carry her厄 after the fact that she had fallen heir to a sum of money. Vision of easy life led her to urge on the aged colored man in his matrimonial endeavors until he finally proposed trying Waukegan as a place to procure the necessary license.

SUPPORT WINTE ENTERPRISES Railk of Race Patronage Geas to White Merchants in Vicinity, But There Are Savantian Business Enterprises Conduced by Negroes in Two Blocks—Race Men and Women's Game Struggle Colored business enterprises situated on Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth streets, between Amsterdam and Eleventh avenues, number seventeen, as against ten places of business conducted by whites. The colored people in these streets support two colored tailors, three grocers, four ice, coal and wood dealers, four barber shops, dressing and manicure parlors, one cabinet maker, one millinery store and one ice cream saloon. But the Negroes in these blocks support business enterprises operated by whites which include three grocers, two laundries, two tailors, two ice, coal and wood dealers, and a shoe r pairing shop. In addition, a great deal of patronage is given by the colored people of this section to the white merchants of Amsterdam avenue. In fact, it is believed that the bulk of the white merchants and business men. Discrimination in gentling is also alleged. It is said that it is impossible for a Negro to rent for business purposes any of the stores on Amsterdam avenue. It is claimed by some of the merchants in Sixty-third street that James Butler, who has a large system of grocery stores, has refused repeatedly to rent any of the stores in his building in Amsterdam, and that street has third-sterdam, to colored business men. These two stores are now rented by white men who are in the laundering and tailoring business. Disorientations of this sort and high rent tend to curtail the activities of the colored business man, but they are flourishing in spite of all such handicaps. Many new owners, recently and others, already firmly tablished, are growing and branching out in kindred lines. In Business Twenty Years.

But I shall stay on the case if I never get a dollar out of it. So spoke William H. Lewis of Boston, former Assistant United States Attorney General, to Judge Stearns in the Providence Superior Court, after the judge had refused to name Mr Lewis as attorney for Coal Victor Brown, a used of murder, on the ground that Lewis was not a resident of Rhode Island, but actually was outside of the courts jurisdiction. Brown with Henry H. Spellman, another Negro, and Mrs. Ehratheth E. Mohr, wife of the victim, is being tried for the murder of Dr C Franklin Mohr at North Barrington last August Counsel John B. Edwards, a resident of Providence, was named by the judge as the victim, but Mohr has white hair. He is not a defendant and being tried together. Mr Lewis made a motion to Judge Stearns, proposing that since his client, Brown, had no money to retain an attorney, he should be appointed by the state. This the judge refused, and then Mr Lewis declared he would stay in case of the never received a dollar later. After quizzing of the talesmen, Counselor Lewis showed that he would be one of the striking figures of the trial. NATIONAL BAPTISTS Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.

PRICE. FIVE CENTS REMODELING A NEIGHBORHOOD How a New York City West Side Neighborhood Got Rid of an Unsavory Reputation. SALE THAN NOW COLUMBUS HELD. Refining Influence of Various Agencies, Including Churches and Lincoln House Settlement; Has Wrought Great Change. Work of the Lincoln House Settlement Which Provides Outlets for the Activities of all the People of the Neighborhood, Young and Old of Both Sexes, from Kindergarten to Mothers. Club. Only a few years back that section of New York City located in the neighborhood of 60th to 61st streets, west of Amsterdam avenue, was known to al-fame as San Juan Hill and as Hell's Kitchen. It was called "San Juan" as a sort of quasi-honoring of the battle of San Juan Hill in Cuba in which the black troops distinguished themselves. The number of fights murders and other disorderly occurrences in this neighborhood, which was populated by a mixed community of Negroes and Irish, led to the application of its names. Soon after "San Juan Hill" became invested with considerable notoriety of the most malodorous character. And "San Juan" supplanted "Hell's Kitchen" as a neighborhood title. But that is all changed now. No longer is "San Juan Hill" synonymous with criminal disorder. In fact, it is not even "San Juan Hill" any more. New Caledonia Colombo Hill Various municipalities work in that section, assisted by friends of both races from other sections, and there has been a gradual dissemination of of better, better, better, coupled communities. Such as the desired change. Neighborly influences which have had immense effect are to be found in the work of the Lincoln House Settlement, of which Miss Morgan was formerly the head, but which is now directed by Miss Byrdie H. Haynes and Miss Louse Latimer, the St. Cypran's Chapel (Protesta: Episcopal), Rev. John W. Johnson, priest in charge, with its various instrumentalities of activity among both young and old, the Union Baptist Church, the Rev George H. Sims, pastor, some of the work of the church, and he has kept his and the section of decent court homes for colored people by the Cuts & S'urul an Homes Co. familiarly known as the Phi'ns's Apartments. All of these factors have had potent effect in changing the complexion of conditions in this neighborhood, making it possible to change the name to Columbus Hill, and thus remove some of the opprobrium attaching to the former titles. Included also must be the work of the Lincoln Day Nursery, now discontinued, of which Mrs Emma Greene was the superintendent for several years which organization was made possible by the philanthropy of a wealthy merchant, who contributed anonymously, and who is now dead. --- The Lincoln House In a most direct way does the work of the Lincoln House Settlement reach into the homes of the neighborhood. The activities begin with the kindergarten and various organizations are used to cater to the interest and need of every age up to the oldest in the home. The kindergarten is in charge of Miss Maesing, with Miss Taggart as her assistant. The tiny tots are in school five days in the week, and with a total enrollment of fifty-five, an average attendance of 1400 members is called the Walton Kindergarten in honor of the mother of Miss Elizabeth Walton, who has actively concerned herself with its development and perpetuation. It is under the direction of the New York Kindergarten Association, which body furnishes the instructors. Lincoln House provides an outlet for the activities of all classes. The boys and girls of all ages are provided for, the young folks are looked after and the adults have organizations which meet their needs. For the boys a director is provided: George R Ralston, formerly of St Christopher's basketball team, and identified with the boys' work at St Philip's Church, has been selected to take charge of this work. He is of DeWitt Clinton High School and was recently awarded a gold medal by the St Philip's organization for his boys' work. Gymnasium classes for boys are held every afternoon and evening, and a club of boys from 14 to 16 years old holds a meeting every Tuesday evening from 7 to 9.

The President has given Wilson colored Democrats (if there any left) to understand that no Negro will be appointed Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, a place filled for many years by Negroes. This information was conveyed to those of the race who loyally supported Mr. Wilson at the polls in 1912, by Bishop Walters, President of the National Negro Democratic League, who was accorded the unusual privilege of being permitted to chat a few minutes with the Chief Executive on Monday of this week. A Washington dispatch to the New York Times imparts the following information regarding this meeting relative to the appointment of Negroes to office under the Wilson administration. Washington, Jan. 10.—President Wilson today told Bishop Walters, who is president of the National Negro Democratic League, that he would not appoint a Negro as Recorder of Deeds for the District. The place has been filled by Negroes for a long time. The President said he would like to appoint a Negro, but he understood that it would precipitate a discussion of the race question in the Senate The President advised the Bishop to call on Postmaster General Burleson and Secretary McAdoo and see if he could not find some positions that could be filled with Negroes without exciting opposition The apprehension shown by Mr. Wilson since his incumbency as President whenever the question arises of appointing a Negro to a position of honor and respect has been marked. Although sworn to be the President of all the people his attitude on all occasions in the matter of seeing to it that the Negro is treated fairly and squarely has been nothing short of cowardly. The wholesale removal of colored people from positions, segregation and discriminations by the United States Government against Negroes and the numerous and frequent protests raised against these injustices have been permitted to go on without interruption by him despite his reluctancy to raise the race issue. The President does not seem to think that these un-American acts provoke a race issue. There are some who may contend that the President should have opposed the presence of colored people at his recent wedding for fear that he would be accused of indulging in "social equality," thereby raising a race issue. There is a vast deal of difference between entertaining a "black mammy" at a wedding and appointing a Negro to a representative position in the United States Government; according to the Wilson - Vandaman - Tillman ilk, whose "fear of raising the race question" manifests itself to meet the exigencies of the occasion. The statement in the dispatch about Bishop Walters being advised by the President to see Postmaster General Burleson and Sec- VIEWS AND REVIEWS VIEWS AND REVIEWS JAMES W.

They are now reduced to a race not capable of ethical development, control our appetites and passions, that means of vice and immorality.

No names are the investigators state that men in all walks, banks, and business men are implicated from the report as published in. Continuing the report says: "That there are man and prominent men who have wives and families, butitate to employ every means possible to debauch in their offices. "We have many instances," the report says, "of little girls who have gone into these offices and abused to the men about them. Many of these little life and over, have grown children and even men." "There is nothing more reproachible than some of a number of Baltimore's esteemed and prominent men. The practices of the red light district are prepared to the acts of some of these so-called 'Clown men.' Generally speaking, there is no virtue in the pot calling the kettle black; pot, if the kettle is continually posing as a spotless vessel and reminding the pot of its shadiness, the latter is fully justified in returning the compliment or epithet. It is no longer convincing for any one, in speaking or writing against the Negro, to point out that he is physically inferior to the white man; for in the fields, in the mines, at the North Pole, in the prize-ring, on the battlefield, the Negro has demonstrated that he can stand shoulder to shoulder and face to face with the white or any other man. Neither is it any longer convincing to attempt to prove that the Negro is incapable of mental development; the race has produced too many men eminent in the various branches of intellectual endeavor for that argument to stand. Our enemies have had to shift their ground. They are now reduced to setting forth that we are a race not capable of ethical development, that we are unable to control our appetites and passions, that we are the helpless victims of vice and immorality. This argument is so commonly made and our moral failings—which are nothing more or less than human failings—are so exaggerated and magnified, that many people have come to look upon the Negro as being congenitally immoral. In fact, the argument has been so effectively advanced as to arouse even in the minds of some colored people certain misgivings about the morals of the race So, we think it will do no harm to hastily review the report of the Vice Commission which was appointed by Governor Goldsborough of Maryland, in which some very plain facts are recited, especially about the white people of the highly cultured city of Baltimore. We do this in no evil spirit of gloating. We do not rejoice in the fact that white people are just as bad or a little worse than colored people. We do it rather in a spirit of self-defense. We feel that the facts justify the pot in reminding the kettle that the latter is no alabaster ornament. The report comprises 1,200 typewritten pages and covers the work of three years. We shall therefore be able to clip only a paragraph here and there, which may serve to give some idea of what the investigators found out. No names are mentioned, although the investigators state that men in all walks of life—ministers, lawyers, bankers, and business men are implicated. Here are a few paragraphs from the report as published in the daily papers: Continuing the report says: "That there are many well-to-do and prominent men who have wives and families, but who do not hesitate to employ every means possible to debauch the young girls in their offices. "We have many instances," the report says, "of refined and gentle girls who have gone into these offices and finally succumbed to the men about them.

Yvette Guilbert, one of the greatest artists on the French stage, in an interview which she gave after her recent arrival in the United States, had the following to say concerning American music: "In America, apart from a few ditties like 'Sayance Riven,' the only beautiful folk-songs I have found are Negro melodies. I don't know why Americans have done so little in the folk-song field. Perhaps they have been too busy to concern themselves with such things." This statement will pain a great many white, and surprise a great many colored people, because there are so many white people who dislike to admit it is true, and there are so many colored people who don't know it. Mme. Guilbert, with true artistic and critical sense, goes to the root of the matter, but she makes a mistake, perhaps an excusable one, when she makes an exception of "a few ditties like 'Suwanee River.'" The fact is, "Suwanee River," "Kentucky Home" and most of the Foster songs are founded on Negro melodies. Stephen Foster was simply the first white man to see the artistic value of these melodies and harmonies and to make use of them. Foster, in his most widely known songs, not only used Negro melodies but also Negro sentiments. American musicians often better written by the increased nothing which he meantime, the only thing was made that has received attention to Negroes.

In the meantime, the only contribution to music which this country has made that has received universal acknowledgement owes its creation to Negroes. While American composers have been making fair and mediocre copies of German, Italian and French compositions, American Negro music in its triumphant march has swept the world. Skilled musicians in the United States have studiously ignored this Negro music. When they have striven to be original they have gone tq Indian themes and legends, but here they have worked sterile soil. But there is no way around it; if a great American music is to be built, it must be built out of what the Negro has created or not at all. Perhaps, this work is being providentially left for the great Negro composers who are cretain to come. We are here reminded of the fact that so many colored people are yet unable to properly estimate the value of the three artistic creations made by the race in this country; in fact, a great many are still somewhat or somehow ashamed of them. We refer to the folk-stories, which were collected by Joel Chandler Harris under the title of "Uncle Remus"; the cake-walk, from which was developed nearly all of the modern dances now so popular; and Negro music. These three achievements are the greatest proof which the race has yet brought against the common charge of inferiority, because they are not the work of one or two gifted individuals but of the race as a whole. They are a demonstration that the Negro is a creator, a creator of that which has the power of universal appeal. They show that from his own inner consciousness the Negro can evolve that which will move and influence the world. And that is proof of inherent power. Of the three, the cake-walk stands on the lowest grade; however, dancing is one of the recognized arts, and the cake-walk captured two continents as the greatest American dance. The French people called it "the poetry of motion." Even the royalty of Europe practiced its intricate steps. In the modern dances, the cake-walk has, perhaps, reached its highest artistic development. The folk-stories have already been given a fixed place in literature by "Uncle Remus." What a lasting pity that this work was not done by some colored man! The highest contribution made by the race to art is Negro music, and that still remains almost wholly undeveloped. And what a mine of material it is! To sum up the whole matter, nothing of artistic value has come out of the United States which has made a universal appeal to the world, except what has been created by the American Negro. national, state and county, nominated by the Democratic party. from a recent editorial in the "Evening Post": Fourth.

Any comment would be, as the old fashioned debaters used to say, a work of supererogation.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY MINISTER WITHDRAWS FROM N. A. A. C. P. to the Editor of The Age: The following letter, which has been sent to Mr. Oswald G. Villard, treasurer of the N. A. A. C. P., is self-explanatory: 129 Henry St., New Haven, Conn Mr. Oswald G. Villard, New York City, N. Y Dear Sir: I am returning the subscription blank to you as treasurer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with the request that you drop my name from further contact on the roll of members unless the organization, through its officers or executive members, should make some kind of public disapproval (say, through The Crisis) of that part of the editorial in the Christmas number of The Crisis, which speaks of Mr. Washington's mistakes and shortcomings, and which also said: "On the other hand, in stern justice, we must lay on the soul of this man a heavy responsibility for the consummation of Negro disfranchisement, the decline of the Negro college and public school, and a firm establishment of our land and labor. Some of the most ardent supporters of the scholarly editor of The Crusis have expressed great disappointment at this cowardly thrust. Could your learned editor know what he had said in two of the previous paragraphs when he says, "This is not nt time for recrimination or complaint Gravely and with bowed heads let us receive, what this great figure gave of good, silently rejecting all else. Your intellectual scholar has not applied the laws of intellectual thinking, and if this editorial effected him only it would matter little, but the great organization, of which The Crista is the official organ, and its noble work, has been injured and will be greatly hindered unless some public statement is issued officially to show to the many thousands of friends of the late Booker T. Washington that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People neither authorized for sanctioned those unnually words while the nation was bowed in grief at the grave of the Great Leader. That editorial has the distinction of doing two things—it proves its author to be not only unsafe, but dangerous, lacking the elements of true leadership and is further dividing the Negro race through discord and the insistence of the personal, rather than a broad principle upon which we could all come together, and as long as your organization makes its mouthpiece a man who enjoys the fat of other constructive minds, just so long will the Negro race be divided, and its leaders and educated men be in two ranks instead of in one Yours very truly, WM H. LACEY DuBois and a Washington Memorial. To the Editor of The Age: Will you permit me space in the columns of your paper to comment on what seems to be an attempt to destroy the effect of the life of a great man? I have reference to the editor of the "Crisis" (Mr. DuBois), in his manner of dealing with matters involving the life of the late Dr. Washington, who lived, suffered and died in the harness for the cause that was dearest to his heart, which was to help his race to command a position of respect by thrift and industry as a base of activity in being good American citizens. For indeed, in my mind, history does not give an account of a more monumental life as a source of inspiration to its fellow being than that of Dr. Washington. While the beehive has been moved, the race is using, and still will use, the honey It was just about a month before the death of this great man that I heard him at Woolsey Hall, that great auditor of Yale University, before the largest audience ever assembled there, in one of the most thrilling speeches many have said he ever made, in what he showed the most attitude of the South toward the Negro in the gettysong of education by the small amount of money appropriated for their schools. While he was not abusive, yet he was painted in what he said. The occasion was that of the national gathering of the Congregational Churches, with delegates of both races, from all sections of this country, who seemed to appraise all that he said along this line. I am sure some good will come to the race in this particular matter. On the same night, notwithstanding his physical condition, which seemed to indicate that his life's work was coming to a close, at the Zion A. M. E. Church, he spoke to a large gathering of Negroes. As he stood on the platform looking the members of his own race in the face, he said that he would rather be there than anywhere else, for he lived to be among his own people. To sum up and produce the substance of his speech would be to say that he said, "Children, love ye one another." He also said that if anything should happen to him, all the things in which he was interested would move on with complete smoothness, thus showing the deep regard he had for the ability of others. Now Mr. Editor, in view of the splendid life of Dr. Washington, it seems to me that the editor of the "Crisis" does himself and magazine very little credit by holding up the life of this dead magist as being commendable, and then attempting to puncture it by referring to him as a contributor to the cause of disfranchisement and other ills affecting the race. As indicated in the December issue of the "Crisis," and in the latest issue, January, Mr. DuBois shows himself to be very much out of keeping with the spirit of the age, which is to respect worth regardless of color to a greater degree than ever before. In the article headed "A Suggestion" and referring to the Frederick Douglas Home proposition, Mr. DuBois speaks of a simple feasible memorial to Booker T. Washington by colored people alone, and specifies by saying "his colored friends" Note the cold blunt tone to begin with, and the Jim Crow phrase of it by saying "colored people alone." The fact is, I don't believe the much learned gentleman of the "Crisis," Mr DuBois, personally is interested in any kind of a memorial to Dr. Washington that would mean honor to him. Further, I believe his suggestion was prompted by what purported to be a report from the Trustees of Tuskegee to create a $2,000,000 memorial fund for the benefit of that institution. If so what could be a fitting tribute to the memory of its founder? Now, if Mr. DuBois is inscere as the Frederick Douglas Home proposition, and the paying off of the mortage for that purpose which he speaks of, would be a splendid object lesson of ability to do something for the race he and his friends, regardless of cowere to get together, raise the moneypay off the mortgage, and proceed accomplish the desired end he speaks of and thus relieve the race of that barrassment. Dr. Washington was not only a Negro, but a great man among me its broadest sense, and they stand righteously his memory in every seed of this country, and in the land beyond the sea. I. E. FISHER Memorial to Booker Washington To the Editor of The Ack: It would seem to me that the most fitting way to perpetuate the memory of our greatest leader, the late Booker I. Washington, would be to erect an industrial institution in the East in keeping with his ideals. Memorial meetings will soon pass from the memory of the people and many years hence there may be no interest in such meetings. Monuments, even temples, go back to dust, and history has proved that empires vanish and races die out, but an endowed industrial institution would live through changeless ages, if it followed the plan outlined by Dr. Washington. A school in the East for the industrial education of our people would assist in solving the so-called race problem and it would serve to stimulate the young men and women in the North to be self-supporting and self-reliant. This was the mission of the greatest leader any race ever had, and considering all the handcaps under which he labored history fails to show a single example of leadership superior to this great man's There is a tendency to claim that every Negro who happens to make a remarkable national or international reputation is the son of some bourbon cracker, yet no one arose to dispute the late Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, when he said that "the South had never produced a great white man." This being true, how could a curry, lazy Virginia cracker be the father of the greatest Negro the world has ever known and the peer of any living statesman, regardless of race or color? If Mr. R. M. Moten carries the policies of Dr. Washington, there is little doubt that when death claims him, some cracker, nursing his rags and with hands covered with the blood of some Negro just lynched, will claim that he, too, "had a white man's blood. In his vems." It is too bad that we must mark time and wait to see if the successor of this wonderful man has been born. We have a host of "leaders" totally interested in the welfare of the race, but their "interest" draws interest. The ability to write books, discuss social equality, to stir up the race by a continuous cry of equality, are not the prerequisites for race leadership. This man started with nothing. He did not have a Harvard degree, but he had something greater. He had will-power. He believed in himself and he believed that what he was capable of, his race is also capable of, the race being judged by the accomplishment of the individual. We note that most of his critics are Harvard men, but what have they done to be in a position to criticize this man? One of the greatest things a man can do is to go out into the world and create something out of nothing—the Tuskegee Institute was such an achievement. These men of crudition claiming to be leaders of our race have thus far created nothing out of their Harvard degrees which would be of service to any great number of our people. They own no business, can employ no great number of young men and women, they have no influence to assist the masses of the people.

A T the Lafayette Theatre this week the Anita Bush Stock Company is appearing in what is probably the most ambitious as well as the most meritorious dramatic production ever presented by a cast made up entirely of colored actors. While I know this is a broad statement and at once challenges the incredulity of the skeptic, yet I repeat, with apologies for tautology, that in the condensed version of "The Octo-oon" the Anita Bush Stock Company is appearing in what is probably the most ambitious as well as the most meritorious dramatic production ever presented by a cast made up entirely of colored actors. There are a number of things in this dramatic offering to command one's favorable attention, but what was most intensely interesting to me was the fine sense of art shown by the actors in their make up. For years the colored performer has been sadly declaring: "Our field is limited; our color permits us to appear on the stage as Negroes only, maybe now and then a Chinaman. But the white performers, with all their great opportunities, are not satisfied with playing white characters; they are now imitating colored people on such a wholesale scale that with but one or two exceptions, the most prominent black face artists before the public to-day are white performers." And this declaration has been true in every respect. But as I scrutinized the characters in "The Octoroon" Monday I became convinced that it is as possible for colored performers to make up as white people as it is for white performers to make up as colored people. Take, for instance, the role of Jacob McClosky, played by Charles H. Gilpin. His appearance suggesting that of a colored man posing as an owner of slaves and an overseer would unwittingly envelop the piece in an atmosphere of inconsistency, thereby robbing it of force and realism. But Mr. Gilpin, although his skin is brown in color, so cleverly makes up that he resists the slave owner of days gone by to a remarkable degree, investing the type with a certain distinction even though he is the villain and plays an unpopular role. The best compliment to the members of the cast for the fine art displayed in making up is paid by their friends, who at first are unable to determine who is who. There is Andrew Bishop, who, as War-No-Tee, a lazy Indian, looks the part and acts the part. Anita Bush, as an octoctoro, is convincing, and easily wins the sympathies of the audience, which does not hesitate to vigorously applaud many of her utterances. After seeing Mrs. Charles H. Anlerson play the part of Dora Sunshine, many would be reluctant to believe that she had never spoken a line over the footlights until last Monday. Mrs Anderson has one of the principal roles in "The Octooon," and yet she she shows a naturalness and grace that would do credit to an actress of some experience And it is doubtful that the original portrayer of the role of Dora Sunshine was as pretty a "Southern belle" as Mrs. Anderson. The Anita Bush Stock Company is fortunate in securing the services of J Francis Mores, whose ability as a character actor is well known in various sections of the country. As Pete, an old body servant, he has a difficult role to essay, which he does most creditably Mr. Mores makes an ideal Pete and his lines are put over with intelligence and force. Carlotta Freeman, as Mrs. Peyton, is sympathetic and appealing. She does not overdo her part, which easily could be done "Dooley" Wilson is becoming a versatile actor, and as George Peyton, a nephew of Mrs. Peyton who is in love with Zoe, he faithfully depicts the part of a young Northerner without color prejudice, a man of his own mind and convictions and a gentleman of principle. Miss Dennie George as Minnie, and Tennis Pinn as Jasper, favorably impress in their minor parts. Just as strict attention is paid by the members of the cast to their make up, so is unusual consideration given to the scenery and costumes, especially provided for the occasion. Years ago this thoroughly American play, "The Octoroon," written by Dion Boucicault, furnished food for angry discussion, and although the playwright drew typical Northern and Southern characters, so pungent was his delineation of Southern life that the ire of the Southerners was aroused. It was the truth that hurt. In condensing "The Octoroon" for the Anta Bush Stock Company, Louis Hallet, who produces the sketches for the dramatic organization, has reconstructed the piece to run a little over an hour, although presented in four acts. To the credit of Mr Hal- SAM LUCAS' THEATRICAL CAREER WRITTEN BY HIMSELF IN 1909.

Sam Lucas, who died this week, wrote the following sketch of his life for TUg Ack in 1999, while a member of Cole & Johnson's Red Moon Company: I have been asked by the dramatic editor of The Age to explain why I am bailed the dean of the colored theatrical profession I presume it is due to my long career on the stage, which began nearly thirty-six years ago. Possibly a sketch of my career make me think of the triumph of the dean of the colored theatrical profession" is applied to me. I was born in Washington, Fayette County, August 7, 1848, of poor but colored parents, who were formerly slaves belonging to Samuel Cockrell of Romney, Hampshire County, Va., after whom I was named. During childhood I attended school to live in a farmhouse, to work in a farmhand, which was my occupation until nineteen years old. I then went to Cincinnati, Ohio, and became a barber. It was while a "knight of the razor" that my early taste for music developed. I first attracted attention while connected with Hamilton's celebrated Colored Quadrille Band as guitarist and lyricist in 1869. I attended school for a few months, but it was not long before I went to St. Louis, Mo., where I made my initial appearance as a ministrel performer with Lew Johnson's Plantation Minstrels as middle man and balladist. In about three weeks the minstrel company disbanded and I was left "out in the cold"; but it was not long before I married the minstrel to Hammison's Minstrel Company as general performer, where I made a hit in the original role of "Hungry Jake." In 1871 I returned to St. Louis and again joined the Low Johnson Company. This time the company remained on the road one year, when I returned to New York on July 4, 1873. I became a member of the Original Georgia Minstrels a ballad singer and general business performer. My first act to gain prominence was the Vegetable Peddler," the first minstrel business enjoyed by the "Original Georgia Minstrels" throughout the West and South was such that similar minstrel companies were formed. The organization was brought to New York City, where it did a big business. Then I joined the Heyer Sisters in thémical comedy "Out of Bondage"—which was the first musical show ever put on by a colored theatrical organization. The show was in two acts and six characters. It was in the role of "Missima Henry" that I scored my first big hit. Upon leaving the Hyer Sisters I joined the ranks of the varieyt aristas, and having the distinction of being the first colored man to appear in what is now known as vaudeville as a legitimate variety performer. My work consisted of comic and motto songs, monologue and dancing. At Ben Vallard Valentine I played week as the principal drawing card to record-breaking business. Subsequently I was starred in a blood-and-thunder play entitled "The Black Diamonds of Molly McGuilres," but the show lasted but four weeks.

Rosamond Johnson, Bass Miss Ethel Richardson, Acco PROGRAM AT 8:45 O'CLOCK Seats may be reserved by mail—Adds 4 and 6 West 131st Street let it might be said that much of the dialogue used is new, and he has injected a number of broad-minded views on the race question that win instant favor with the colored patrons, who exince their approval by hearty applause. "The Octoberoon" in its condensed form, is full of thrillers, ably acted and elaborately staged. It presentation at the Lafayette Theatre this week is significant; for it denotes that the col- pearance in this show, surrounded by a white cast, marked the first time of a Negro starring in melodrama. I was secured to play the part of Uncle Tom in the G. H. Smith's Double Uncle Tom's Cain Man's second role, the first great man to fill the role, Harriet Beecher Stowe witnessed a production of the piece and afterward wrote me a letter stating that my conception of the character of "Uncle Tom" was better than any she had even seen, remained with the company, 1858. After leaving the Uncle Tom's Cain Man Company I headed the Boston Stock Company with a white cast at the Boston Theatre, Boston, Mass., and for four weeks we played to crowded houses. In the early 80s I was put out in the first colored drama by Pauline Hopkins called "The Underground Man," where the piece faced for a time was not propitious for producing such a play. Later I found my way to Boston, where I remained until 1899, working alone. I was finally engaged by the Bergen Concert Party, in which organization I met Miss Carrie Melyville of P.R. University, a brief courtship. We formed a musical act and appeared jointly in vaudeville, playing all the principal variety halls. It was during that time I conceived the idea of producing a Creole show, and sought to interest several colored men with money in the project, but there was not one who well enough of it to take a chance. It was at the Olympic Theatre, Denver, Col., where we played for nine months that I met and talked with Sam T. Jack and told him of the idea I had for a colored show. He thought I was a good idea, and organized a company headed by Mrs. Lucas and me, which was known as Sam T. Jack's Creole Company. We remained with the show three years, and then went abroad, appearing in vaudeville, opening at the Oxford Theatre, London, with success, where we met for six months. We were in England six years and enjoyed success everywhere. Upon our return to America we were starred in Al G Fields' Darkest American Company, but we became dissatisfied within a few months and left the aggregation engagement was with Cole and Johnson in "A Trip to Coontown," where I played the part of Silas Green" as it had never been played before or since. The time intervening between my engagement with the Darkest America Company and the Cole and Johnson Company I am unable to recollect. For the past four seasons I have been connected with Cole and Johnson playing the part of a member of the "Board of Educating" in the son Company, playing the part of a member of the "Board of Education" in the Shoofly Regiment and of Bill Webster, the barber, in "The Red Moon," my present role. While it is quite true that I have been connected with the stage almost four times yet I have an old till "Old Man Lucas," for there is not one in the Red Moon Company who is more light-hearted or who is more youthful in his actions than yours truly.

The characters in the drama are really old friends to many theatre-goers, who season after season, anxiously await the next appearance of the play, which was originally produced in 1893 at the Academy of Music and was for many years a regular visitor at that house and the American Theatre A most significant fact in connection with "In Old Kentucky," which it is estimated has been witnessed by more than 38,000,000 and has aggregated profits in excess of $3,000,000, is that it is the one play the success of which is due solely and entirely to the colored actors who have appeared in it. Although the exciting horse race wherein are shown six genuine Kentucky thoroughbreds at the thrilling finish of a free-for-all mile running race, Madge's daring swing across the chasm just in time to save her lover from death, the realistic fire scene and the timely rescue of Frank Layston's prize horse, and all the other features which are today so popular with the audience, were in the original production, the play was neither an artistic or financial success. It was not until the producers prevailed upon the author to permit them to introduce colored actors to sing, dance and perform on musical instruments, as a brass band in the barnyard scene in the second act, and continuing throughout the remainder of the play, that the public really became interested in the production. Effective with the first performance in which the pickaninners appeared, the receipts began to show an increase, and in a very short length of time the capacity of the theatre was taxed to accommodate the crowds. The increased attendance was not by any means confined exclusively to the colored people who had been attracted to see members of their own race before the footlights. Some of our most noted white men of today recall with genuine pleasure the performance as witnessed by them from a gallery seat. With the company to be seen here next week is the man who first led the pickaninny band when the pickaninnies became the predominant feature of the show. He is John M Powell, the color order band-master. In his twenty-three years of association with the play, Mr Powell estimates that he has led his band approximately 35,000 times in playing "Dixite." The band plays this piece at least once at every performance, and always once in the public concerts given in front of the theatre. Considering the times the piece has been played at rehearsals, etc., Powell believes his estimate is conservative. A dancing contest is scheduled to take place Friday night during the performance, when the pickaninnies will compete with local dancers for prizes BASKET BALL. (By WILL ANTHONY MADEN) Address all communications direct to 269 West 4th street, New York City, and have all matter in our hands by Monday night of each week in order to insure its appearance in the current issue. The big thing in basketball in Brooklyn this week is the meeting of Carlton Y. M. C. A. Seniors and the Alpha Moguls. The team that Alpha willsend against the Brooklyn boys is a pretty strong combination and contains three "Big Five" men namely Dash, Capers and Scott. There is a great deal of weight among the very best of "Big Five's" material. I understand though that the only way manager Vaughn could close a game with Alpha was to accept Alpha's line-up. Everything and everybody is awaiting the referee's whistle, that will see the Carlton Y M C A and Alpha "Mogul" machine in motion to night at Labor Lyceum, Brooklyn The Carlton's launched a successful campaign in New York last Thursday registering the seventh straight victory of the season, against the St. Mark's Catholic A C, C, the Carltonts winning 22-13 The Brooklyn champs are now ready to defend the city of churches against the invasion of the New York boys The Y M C A. a team has been unbeatable this season, but when they line-up against the Alpha's five, Dash, Mirandi, Capers, Randall and Scott, they will meet the strongest opposition they have faced this season, and one of the best that Manhattan can send across the bridge to stop the Carlton's. It should result in one of the best games of the season, with the outcome a toss-up. Alpha will rule the favorite owing to advantage in weight and experience The game has attracted wide spread interest and a record breaking crowd is expected to witness this clash between the Brooklyn and New York cracks. On last Thursday night the Carlons of Brooklyn and the St. Marks of New York hooked up in a double header, St. Marks winning the junior game by 21-18 and the Carlton (Brooklyn champs) winning the senior game by 22-13. Both games were very fast. Alpha "Big Five" ran away from Salem-Crescent in a rough, hard game on last Friday night. With Big Five about twenty points in the lead and only about six minutes more for the game, Salem-Crescent refused to play any longer thereby forfeiting the game to Alpha by the score of 2-0 Clarence Younger, formerly of Salem Crescent, refereed One of the biggest attractions in girls' basketball will be held at St. Cyprians' Gymnasium, 169 West 63rd street, New York City, on Friday evening, January 21, when the St Cyprian Girls line-up against the Excelsior Five of New Rochelle The St Cyprian Girls are credited as the champions of the East, while the New Rochelle girls sport the title of champions of New Rochelle. It ought to be a very interesting game and will undoubtedly attract a large crowd Wallace F Cooper the famous center of the word champion "Incorporators" is coach of the New York girls and all mall will reach him at 169 West 63rd street, New York City. The Delaney Rifles are about ready to make their entrance into New York and old Gotham is anxiously waiting for the night of January 14, to come in order to see this big western team in action. The Delaneys have a big reputation and great things are expected of them when they line up with the famous "Incorporators." ( On January 28, St Christopher and Hampton will fight 'it out at Manhattan Casino. The return-game will be played in Hampton, Va. on February 22, (Washington's Birthday). Last season Hampton met and defeated St. Christopher by the score of 15-10, so undoubtedly when St C. meets Hampton on the 28th of this month the Parish House boys will play with every ounce of strength to even up scores by a victory, over Hampton. The Virginia Institute boys are always good so we can expect them to give a good account of themselves Tuxedo News On January 19, the Tuxedo Lightweights will line-up against the Imperials of Orange, with determination to win. The Tuxedo boys have had secret practice under direction of a coach, who has made a change in the line-up, which is "Smithy", forward; Peterson, forward; Thomas, center; "Lovle", guard Williams, guard; Richardson, sub. guard; F. Smith, sub. forward. Because of the interference plays of "Lovle" he has been changed from forward to the position of guard. "Smithy" has good signs of a promising forward. With these changes, Mr. Thomas, the Tuxedo boy who has been manager Lee that his boy will not only give the imperials a hard battle but all other lightweight teams a hard struggle for the winning score. For games address R. Richard Lee, Manager, 376 Main street, East Orange, N. J. It will be a blood-game and the fur will fly when Alpha and St. Christopher meet on Saturday afternoon at old Manhattan Casino. The last time these two teams met was during my management of St. C's basketball division. The game on the twelfth looks like a toss-up. Alpha has a mighty big fast team and packs a lot of weight. St. Christopher also carries a good deal of weight but St. C's biggest asset is her system of coaching and the hard physical training the boys get in that little "gym" at the top of the Parish House. I happen to be in the position of knowing all about the place and if any man knows the greuling Wetzel system of coaching and training I am that man. As I have seen the Wetzel system of Christopher or Alpha in action this season, I cannot at this writing pick a winner but if the same old Wetzel system prevails then I must admit that I am inclined to somewhat favor my old clubmates. I will probably have something more definite to say later on. There will be every kind of an attraction at Manhattan Casino on Friday night, so be sure an doome early—Delaney Rifles vs. "Incorporators." Princeton, N. J.-Added interest and enthusiasm is being manifested in the basketball games of the Y. M. C. A. in that it has defeated every team played thus far. After a strenuous and hard fought game Wednesday evening, the local high school went down to defeat by a score of 25 to 23. The laurels of this game ar eto be given Captain Nelson and Higgins, who were in the top two good and played well. Galos also deserves mention. The next game scheduled is with the Tigers A. C., of Elizabeth, N. J. The St. Augustine Club of Brooklyn is still at it. These boys are preparing for a big set of games on February 9, 1916. Just who will be their opponents on that night has not been disclosed yet but as St. A always plays the best attractions nothing need be feared for an enjoyable evening. For games write to Edgar R.

Yonkers, N. N. The Tigers scored ample revenge for previous defeats by winning from Royals in basketball Saturday evening at the Yonkers High School gymnasium in the opening game of the New Year in this city by a 44 to 6 score. The second half was faster and some what rougher. Giddings, the Tigers' star forward found his stride early in the battle and when he retired in favor of Francis there were 14 points to his credit. Williams replaced Hamilton at left guard and Ryerson replaced Morgan having a fine brand of basketball. About two hundred spectators watched the game and engaged in dancing after wards.

MUSICAL OF THE AFRICAN REDEMPTION SOCIETY The African Redemption Society, an organization composed of prominent and talented women who are directing their merges to the cause and uplift of Africa, held its annual musicale Friday evening, January 7, 1916, at the residence of Bishop Alexander Walters. The program of the evening was one of the most eventful in the history of this unique organization, and in addition to the discussion of plans which the organization hopes to adopt in furtherance of its work, there were rendered musical numbers featuring 18th century music, the period at which musical art reached its highest point of excellence. Before the musical program was presented, Mrs. Lelia alters, president of the organization, made a brief address of welcome to the patrons and strangers and outlined in a clear manner the detrime work the organization had before a She then presented Mme L. Leacht Howard Logue musical directress of the organization, who opened the program by reading a historical sketch of 18th century music. The sketch showed a fine and discriminating research of the music of that period. The program was as follows Overture (Rosslini), Mimes. E A Johnson and N. Pierre Solo, Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes (Mozart), Carl Boxil, tenor of the selected Mimes. J Berry and A Harper. Solo, (a) Holy Night (Haydn), (b) How Can I Leave Thee? (Volkslied), William L.

Among the throng of guests were men and women who are prominent in the professional and musical life of the race. There were persons present from Holland, Haiti and Switzerland. At the conclusion of the program I shop Walters made an address in which he urged the organization to become more definite in its work in the uplift of Africa. He suggested that the organization direct its energy to liberia, where the problem is acute and grave. He further said that the organization could do no inner thing than establish an industrial school at Mt. Coffee, on the St Paul River where we have 1500 acres of land. This suggestion met with hearty approval. He said such a school would train the natives to develop the land which is now going to waste. Prof Moens of Holland also spoke. He said he was impressed with the work of the organization and got a fine idea of the higher side of Negro life from the marked degree of culture exhibited by the audience. Dr Cabcelle brought greetings from Hattu, his native land. Bishop Walters asked for the annual subscriptions, and about $100 were realized, with many pledges to be paid later.
