BABY CONTEST AWARDS SOON
Judges for the Contest Have Been Appointed and Their Names Are Announced
MUST JUDGE OVER 300 PHOTOS
Twelve Silver Cups Will Be Awarded to the Babies, Six in Greater New York, and Six to the Country at Large.
THREE PRIZES IN EACH CLASS
First, Second and Third Prizes for Babies Up to 3 Years, and for Children from Three to 12 Years of Age - Pictures Will Be Returned to Senders as Soon as Judges Have Completed Their Deliberations.
After considerable delay, from exigencies beyond control of the management of The Age, announcement is made of the judges who will act in the awarding of the prizes of silver cups in the New York Age Better Babies Contest, which closed, so far as entries were concerned, on Thursday, September 2. Because of the large number of photos suitable for publication, it was not until December 2 that the last pictures were published. There were 229 pictures of babies under three years, and 83 of children from 3 to 12 years of age. Besides there are were a number of photos received after September 2, which, under the expressed stipulations, cannot be entered in the contest. The entire number of 312 pictures will be delivered to the judges for their action, and as soon as they have completed their work, announcement will be made through The Age.
Some of the parents who received from The Elizabeth King Co. small diamond rings and powder for the babies, and powder for themselves, have misunderstood the matter and misunderstood that these articles were prizes awarded in the contest. These articles were contributed to entrants by Mass King, and the publisher of THE AGE was not concerned or connected in any way with the distribution. Every baby and every mother was sent something by Miss King and if any failed to receive the package they might drop a card to THE AGE and the same will be sent to Miss King.
The List of Judges.
The judges selected by the publisher, and requested to act in the Better Babies Contest, are
Mrs. Maud Griffin Hall
Mrs. Carrio Dent, Anderson
Mrs. Cora Winston
Miss Louise Latimer
Dr. Grutteur Curtis McPherson
Miss Maybell McAdoo
Mrs. Media Dodson
There are eight cups of letters from a number of the parents, who requested the return of the photos of their children. All of the photos received are being cared for with the utmost care, and as soon as the judges have concluded their deliberations each picture for which return postage has been received will be carefully wrapped and addressed, and returned to the sender
There are twelve prizes—each a silver cup—to be awarded. The babies of Greater New York will be put in one group, and then divided into two classes: one class composed of babies up to three years, and the other classes of children from three to twelve years old. Three cups will be given in each class, or six in all for Greater New York
Then the babies from everywhere else outside of Greater New York will be given a similar grouping and classification, and six silver cups will be awarded to them in the same manner. i.e. three cups to the babies up to three years, and three cups to the children from three to twelve years old. In each of the four classes the prizes will be first, second and third.
Watch for the announcement of the judges' findings!
MEMPHIS REPUBLICANS
STRONG FOR BOB CHURCH
Special to The New York Age
MEMPHIS, Tenn — Republicans of Shelby County and the Tenth Congressional districts are up in arms because they believe that Robert R. Church, Jr. was a victim of treachery at the recent meeting of Republican executive committee Nachi Cahoun, who is appointed by the Calhoun contingent, which is the faction in favor with Chas D. Huffs, national committee chairman, that Mr. Church would be elected to a place on the State executive committee
The Memphis "Big Four" Gen Saml L. Calhoun, R R. Church, Jr. Frank S. Elgin, ex-U. S. marshal, and Dr J. Spence, collector of customs, were said to be in harmony and agreed on Church for the vacancy from the Tenth district but at the last moment the three white men went back on Church and Elgin was elected.
tertowithstanding this action, the local Liberals declare that Mr. Church will Joseph delegate from this district to the captain Republican Convention at Chiwennie 7. He was a delegate to the Mrs. Cention and made a good record
APPEAL FOR $250,000 FROM NEGROES OF U. S.
That Amount Is Asked of Race For the $2,000,000 Booker Washington Memorial
TRUSTEES OF TUSKEGEE ACT
Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, to Take Charge of Special Campaign Among Colored People to Raise Memorial Fund—Officers and Members of Various Race Organizations Called On.
To the Colored People of the United States
The trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute are undertaking the task of raising a Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund of two million dollars in memory of the great American who passed away this reward Sunday, November 14, 1915.
Quite properly, the trustees have felt that the "bed-rock" of interest in the effort must rest with the colored people who in their letters to Tuskegee Institute, following Dr. Washington's death gave such warm assurances of support to the end that the work of Tuskegee Institute may be permeated and preserved as a permanent memorial to the man who gave all that he could give his very life to the cause of his people.
The trustees have requested me to take charge of the special campaign among the colored people. It is be hewed that they will welcome the contributions of contributing at least $50,000 as the trustees and public expect, as their part of this Memorial Fund.
It has been suggested in the raising of this fund, that subscriptions be invited under certain group heads. It is felt that there are those of the race who would like to contribute under the group heads named below:
Group 1, $1,000; Group 2, $500
to $1,000; Group 3, $250 to $500; Group 4,
$100 to $250; Group 5, $25 to $100;
Group 6, $5 to $25; Group 7, $1 to $5
Small Contributions Wnated.
To join us in the effort we are making to meet the past expectation of those who are looking to the colored people through this movement to show their own interest in perpetuating Dr. Washington's monument by the preservation of Tuskegee Institute and also to show their appreciation of his labors, so unselfishly rendered in their behalf. It is hoped that the officers of these organizations will take the forward part in helping us to arouse and keep alive interest in this movement by direct appeals to their members.
No Solicitors to be Authorized
Teachers in schools both public and private, are also invited to share the labors of this effort. To that end they are requested not only to work up interest in the movement, but also to take a collection from among the children of the various schools throughout the country on April 5, 1916.
It is also earnestly urged that Sunday, March 12, 1916, be set aside as a special day upon which to raise a collection in all the colored churches and Sunday schools throughout the country toward this fund.
In order that the machinery and cost of collection may be reduced to a minimum, it has been decided by the trustees of the Institute that no agents or special solicitors shall be appointed and that all funds collected be sent directly to and acknowledged from Tuskegee Institute. Checks may be drawn to the order of Warren Logan, treasurer Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, or to the order of the unregistered.
It shall be our purpose to send to all of the subscribers to this fund who give five dollars, or more, a certificate to be framed, showing Dr Washington's picture a picture of the home in which he was born and a picture of Tompkins Memorial Hall the largest building on the Institute grounds.

The trustees have decided that out of the money given by the colored people there shall be erected on the Institute grounds a permanent memorial to Dr. Washington's unselfish and useful life to take the form of a building a statue on a monument of some other character. The colored people will thus have the opportunity not only of contributing to the fund itself, but also of erecting the monument which shall stand on the Institute grounds as a "memorial of Dr. Washington's sagacity of his courage of his prudence of his self-forgetfulness, and of his patriotic service to the colored people and to the people of the United States."

PHILADELPHIA PASTOR IN MONEY TROUBLE Special to The New York Age
Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.
PHILADELPHIA, Ia. - Philadelphia Zionites are greatly wrought up because of recent developments in the administration of the affairs of Varki Temple, the Rev. S. L. Corrothers, pastor. It is alleged that there is something wrong with the finances, and that the pastor is responsible for the mix-up, the charge being made that he has misappropriated some of the funds.
Bishop Blackwell and Bishop Caldwell came here recently and made an effort to straighten out affairs. Pastor Corrothers, it is said, has tendered his resignation from the Varki Temple pastorate, but it is also said that he has declared that he will not leave, as the people whom to stay.
Corrothers was sent to Philadelphia from Washington and at the time there was considerable comment, some people making the charge that the bishop was showing favoritism and making an effort to cover alleged discrepancies in the administration of the affairs of the Washington church of Varki Temple was heavily mortgaged when the new pastor came and it is said to be a well-known fact that he engaged in politics in an effort to benefit the church. Under his administration the church has increased in membership and enlisted the friendship and support of many others including a number of white people.
A considerable increase was made in the finances raised and when the rumors began to circulate concerning the alleged misappropriations of the pastor, the bishop made an effort to secure control of the funds.
COMMISSION REMOVES
BAN ON MIXED BOUTS
Wednesday of this week the State Athletic Commission announced that in the revision of losing rules hereafter the Commission will allow mixed bouts. A decision has been handed down by Deputy Attorneys General Overseas that the ban prohibiting boxing between white and colored outfits is unconstitutional. This rule was passed by the former Commission.
The rule against mixed bouts was made to present a contest between Jack Johnson and M. Palzer. At the time Johnson was very much in the lighthearted and the Commission did not look favorably on Johnson lighting in New York. Go Whitman is said to have declared several weeks ago that the rule barring mixed bouts was unconstitutional and notified (Charman Fred Wenk to that effect. Among those to work for the revocation of the rule was Hoe, Charles W. Anderson, former Collector of Revenue and now Supervisor of Agriculture.

SAM LUCAS' FUNERAL AN UNUSUAL CEREMONY
SAM LUCAS' FUNERAL AN UNUSUAL CEREMONY
Famous Theatrical Character Mourned by Thousands of Friends and Admirers
TEARS AND LAUGHTER MIXED
In Accordance With Wish of the Dead Comedian, the Shadow of Grief Was Lightened by Smiles—Gus Frohman, Theatrical Magnate, Came from Boston To Pay Personal Tribute to Lucas.
At the funeral of the late Sam Lucas, veteran theatrical performer, held Friday morning of last week at Mother A M E. Zion Church, so large was the crowd of friends and acquaintances that turned to pay final tribute to the dead comedian that hundreds were unable to gain admission. Police Officer Battle and several fellow representatives of the law were kept busy handling crowds both in and outside the church. The funeral was unusual in more ways than one. During life Sam Lucas frequently stated that he did not want too much sadness at his funeral, that he desired smiles and tears combined. And his wish was gratified, for together with the tears that were shed there were smiles—even suppressed laughter—which the speakers fully intended to provoke
Dr. Ransom, a Cousin, Officiated.
the funeral sermon was preached by the Rev Reverdy C Ransom, a cousin of the deceased, who, at first, was too overcome with emotion to speak. Another speaker was Gus Frohman, the theatrical manager who buried from Boston to attend the services. Mr Frohman told of his early associations with Sam Lucas nearly fifty years ago when Mr Frohman was a struggling manager, and he related how, on one occasion, Sam Lucas pawned his jewelry to move a show. Some of the anecdotes were humorous, the theatrical man declaring that he was speaking over the remains just as the deceased would have willed it. The other speakers were the Rev J W. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, and Miss Maude Jones, who read an obituary for the theatrical profession, which was very touching.
"Among those to take part in the musical program were the James Reuse Europe Orchestra, which played "Grandfather's Clock," a song written and made famous by the deceased many years ago; the Baron Brothers in an instrumental selection, a vocal selection by the Right Quinter Messrs. Lightfoot Ishish Thomas, Luguen and Miger a solo by Miss Blanche Deas and selection on the chor.

Theatre Goers Visit Maxine Elliott's Theatre in Large Numbers—"Dramatic Critica Think Play Is "Repellant"—But Same Writers Found Nothing Unpleasant in "The Birth of a Nation"—Play Cleverly Constructed.

Colorphobia, the most virulent and contagious of all American diseases, an affliction which so thoroughly saturates the victim with egotism and conceive that he labors under the hallucination that the mere color of his skin makes him the superior of all in the sight of God and man is being skillfully diagnosed and treated at Maxine Hillard one of America's foremost actors, is appearing in a most powerful and gripping race

problem with the Pride of Race," supported at a congress and well-balanced coal.
Although the race question is not as important as one of the problems of the race, it is still an important one. White America is not as intently rather than decrease of illiteracy and misunderstanding between the races. It is not as two sides at least of the ever question but thousands of women who are not as resistant that there is no need to the race problem—the white woman is generally narrow-minded in our nation.
I am not sure to know that colorism is not possible for this one occasion, but in many cases of presenting the question to those of opium and are limited. Usually the press and stage are allied with those who want to solve the race problem by appealing to laver passion and sensationalism. So it is most unusual as well as most gratifying to find that in the midst of this wave of color hysteria an actor of undepotted prominence has the courage to appear in a play which makes a bold and forceful plea that the Negro be recorded as a man as a creature of God and possessing the same desires and instincts as other races. Mr Hillard should be voted a Carnegie medal.
Narrowness of the Daily Press.
Robert Hillard is old enough to know that it is much more difficult to champion the cause of right than wrong, yet it was evident Saturday evening in his speech at the close of the show that he felt deeply the uncalled-for shafts of criticism aimed at "The Pride of Race" by the majority of the dramatic critics of New York City. The writers characterized the play as "repellent" the day after its initial performance at Maxine Lhoutt's Theatre, however, there was not a vacant seat in the house Saturday evening.
Throughout the performance the applause had been sporadic, but at the end of the play the audience came from under the spell cast by Mr. Hillard and his associates and the star was given a great ovation. In a short speech, Mr. Hillard said that he had been deeply touched by the sincere evidence of appreciation, which had convinced him that the public did not regard the drama as offensive, that although the New York press, with one or two notable exceptions, had been most unfair to the production, yet the public, by its cordial support, had put its stamp of approval on "The Pride of Race"

LAUNCH CAMPAIGN FOR
WASHINGTON MEMORIAL
WASHINGTON, Dr. G—Men prominent
in the affairs of this country paid tribute
to the memory of the late Dr. Booker
L. Washington, founder and principal
of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, at a
memorial meeting held at Metropolitan
A. M. E. Church on January 16. Some
of the speakers were Seth Low, former
mayor of New York city and chairman
of the board of trustees of the institute,
Secretary Josephus Daniels of the Navy
Department and Secretary W. G. McAdow of the treasury.
At the end of his address Mr Low announced that it is planned to raise a memorial fund or $2,000,000, to which it was hoped the Negroes of the United States would contribute not less than $250,000. By the fund it is planned to insure the financial future of the institute and also to erect a suitable memorial to the deceased educator.
The noblest and most valuable part of Tuskegee Institute is what Washington used to call "The Tuskegee Spirit," and that means nothing more nor less than "the spirit of service" which the principal illustrated during all of his splendid life—even to the very last day of his career. Those young men and young women who go training with Tuskegee with their trainings and after having learned some useful trade, by the time they have finished their course they have caught and have had drilled into them that magnificent spirit of service and they go put into the world not merely to earn their own living, but they go out from that institution charged with the feeling that they have got to make some definite gift some definite contribution in the service and uplift of the community, and that ties they go they lift the moral and industrial tone and the standard of efficiency of the little communities in which they live.
Now the trustees asked me to prepare a note on behalf of the trustees to be printed with Principal Washington's last report and I recall saving in that note that Tuskegee was both a school and an institution, and that as nationally and world-wide Now how is it felt locally? Well it is left locally for instance in these two ways. The Supervisor of Rural Schools who visited Alabama told me that in Macon County (which is the county in which Tuskegee institute is located) that the trustees have the best schools, the best homes, the best schools and the best churches of all the counties in the State of Alabama and he traced this condition of affairs without hesitation said he is a white man directly to the influence of Tuskegee institute in that neighborhood with whom he had a similar relationship to indicate its local influence when Booker T Washington died, the white citizens of the town of Tuskegee which is about one mile from the institution closed their shops and their stores, the Mayor and leading citizens went to the funeral services. Possibly I refer to the better which I received the other day from the governor of Alabama in which he was speaking of our soliciting Mober Rocer B. Mertin is the new principal in Tuskegee and the great satisfaction and then he added "I want to assure you that the people of Alabama want to do everything in their power to maintain and increase the influence and prestice of Tuskegee in that is the local influence of that great man whom we are to honor to-day.

as are carried on among your race in other parts of the world. So you see it is literally true that that, in that sense, the influence of Tuskegee is a world-wide and kind and equal. equally true because students are coming from all parts of the world where Negreros live to be taught there at Tuskegee. And those students when they go back home, they carry with them the lesson of Tuskegee's lesson that Tuskegee spirit—that magnificent spirit of service in their soils and they tell of Tuskegee of what your race has achieved and is accomplishing there, until now Tuskegee is a household word in the forests of Africa as well as upon the American continent.

Zoon church Philadelphia Pa in which he dutton to the task that the case of 1855 marked the removal by death of a larger number of prominent Norwegian has ever occurred before in a similar period of time. Mr. Dancy letter is as follows.
I am writing so simply to call your attention to the large mortality of prominent persons of our country during the year of 1855. It is the most marked death of a prominent person observed. The masses of the persons are among the most prominent that the race has produced and when we consider the number of them it seems indeed astonishing.
The most prominent of these men who course is Dr. Booker T. Washington, the first educator or teacher and leader. Midwife to many of our children before he was diplomatic or presents of Chief who was minister to Liberty in the United States and law or order among indigent size.
Lisbon H. M. Towne was a lieutenant in the military of the army and a leader of the army for a long time. He was a member of the military and lived contemporary men with him. Frederick Douglas John M. Lester Dr Garrett and other men of his early period was himself a leader of the Mollagans in his career in the army and later in the civil service. The Irish T. T. Wilson was for many years a minister at Elysian College and later a member of the army and later a member of the civil service.
and stricken the conditions
It is well that we stop as we go along in this busy life thinking of what we must do to achieve greatness, and think of the wonderful achievements of these people, who, in their own way, contributed so much to the making of the race, the influence that their names will continue to be used in the future, and the names should be sufficient to cause us to pause and in our own way pay some tribute of respect to their glorious memories.
TEXAS EDITOR FOUND
NOT GUILTY OF MURDER
ACCOUNT, Tex.-G. W. Bouldon, editor of the San Antonio *inquirer*, was acquitted of the charge of murder by a jury in Judge hiser's court in this city On October 24 Bouldon shot and killed Tom Allen, a colored policeman of this city. Allen attacked the editor because certain criticisms had been published in the *inquirer* concerning the manner in which the police officer handled colored female prisoners. Bouldon was an眼 witness of the occurrence, although he did not know either the officer or the girls. He declared that the officer was indecent in his manner of searching the women on the public streets and his structures were severe.
Allen met Bouldin in Jennings' Drug Store, 421 East Sixth street, and asked him to walk outside for a talk, which Bouldin did. When the editor acknowledged authorship of the article concerning the action of the officers, Allen knocked him down, and attempted to beat him up. He was prevented by a bystander, and Bouldin returned to the drug store, going to the rear of the store and seating himself behind a box. His value was back there also. Allen, against the advice of his friend, followed Bouldin to the rear of the store asserting that he was going to beat his brams out.

PHILAEMSER, Pa. When a piano he was assisting to host tell thirts feet to the sidewalk Morris gross 28-year-old Negro, who was riding at the time fell with it. The piano landed on the cement sidewalk and the man's head and shooters. His collaborers rushed to me expecting to and him crushed. The piano was crushed and the cement walk was hardly cracked but gross had only a few scratches.
He was rushed to the West Philadelphia Homeopathic Hospital, where the doctors made a careful examination, but they were puzzled at holding only a few salp lacerations. The patient was hospitalized to the West Coast at a building at Navy three blocks north and was given a wound to the arm. He was transported to the building at 295 North State second and was this the fourth accident he has been moved up in.

SAVANNAH BANKS HAVE
BIG CHRISTMAS CLUBS
Savannah, Ga. The three banks run by Negroes in this city have enrolled two thousand, two hundred members in Christmas Savings Clubs. The membership range from $5 to $1. Only one of the banks has previously conducted a Christmas glau.
The Wake Larners Bank has enrolled 1,400 the Savannah Realty and Savings Corporation 700, and the Mechanics Savings Bank 200. There will be probation for the members before the end of the month, and in addition it is said at least one thousand Negroes are depositing in white banks.
So at that least 3,500 Savannah Negroes will have more or less tidy sums for next Christmas' expenditures.
PUT MONEY WITH BANK
THAT EMPLOYS NEGROES
Chicago, IL - The employment of two men and three girls, colored, by the Corn Exchange National Bank, was the cause of the Robert Elliott Court Amount Order of Foresters, taking an unusual step in regard to its money. Six thousand and four hundred dollars was withdrawn from another bank which employs no member of the race and deposited with the Corn Exchange. It is reported that the Foresters have $5,000 more on deposit which will be moved shortly. Other fraternal organizations are considering a similar step and it may be that some of the financial institution will consider it advisable to employ in connection with the Corn Exchange.
THEATRE MANAGER
KEEPS COLORED HELP
St. Louis, Mo. In spite of the demands on the Jalpar union, Thomas James manager of the Movie Theatre Market street, refuses to discharge his colored employs and replace them with whites. His theatre caters to colored people.
He employs a colored operator, musician and porter and represents the men wanted him to employ only white. As the union is colored men from membership this would mean the employment of whites as a colored musician and porter. Mr. Thomas refused to do this and would not replace the musician with a musician which was a company offered him.

SOUTH'S INJUSTICE
TO THE AMERICAN NEGRO
Cotton Sutts, O. Dr Washington Gladson recorded throughout the country as perhaps one of the most profound pulpsters in this country, a Congregational minister and author of international reputation delivered one of the most powerful sermons on the race question ever delivered, at the First Congregational Church here, one of the wealthiest and leading churches in the State. Dr Gladson's sermon was based on Matthew 25:40 "Inasmuch as did unto me"
This said the great divine, "is a parable setting toth the principles on which human conduct is to be judged. It is usually interpreted as a lesson to individuals pointing out what are the central virtues and detects of their relations to their fellow men, and what the consequences will be when they stand before Literal Justice". Pointing out that nations are facing a test, Dr. Gladden said. "But the parable means also that each nation must be judged by its treatment of its own neediest and least tortured classes." The Son of Man sat on the throne of His glory and judged nations is applying to them the acid test of their action toward the poorest and lowest peoples."
Then this great white minister and ourlar hammed into a powerful arrangement to this country, because of its treatment of the Negro, saving
What answer can this nation make to the upon his throne? If you must go back to the beginnings of our national history, you must take the whole of the compartment. For while we must large claims of liberty, equality and justice we shall not be fascinated in an enormous war. We must not be fascinated in an enormous war and in the same battle we shall dominate hundreds of thousands of block men to destroying battle lines and all earth-bound machines. We shall not be fascinated in the way of these may be built so that to the war we must have to put in hand the great injustice, but also the nation, the people, the profession of the nation could have to fight the way of war. In invading the war, life in besieged the nation to try the way of reason and justice, with which we shall be able to win the only possible remedy for great national malice, and so we want to war.
Why not start them out like children of other races? Let their minds be occupied along business lines while they are not in school.
I can start your boys and girls in a dignified profitable business.

More Liberty In Jamaica
"The Negroes of Jamaica, who were once slaves have far more liberty than the Negroes of the South and they were more civilized than the South and their city is south a great deal to them. They are recognized as citizens they are employed in the constabulary they are employed in the police they are employed in the single with the whites on terms of perfect equality and mutual respect they are no longer suspected of hostility than white people. The white women of the South are not about the stand if there are better social relations in Jamaica between the Negroes and the whites in South Carolina but because the whites of Louisiana are trusting and honoring their relations different from those of Georgia of South Carolina but because the whites of Louisiana are trusting and honoring their relations. And the hostility and suspicion of the whites in this country is mainly a natural product of the Caribbean which when they are often told, the Slaves are
"Suppose that we had had reason and common sense enough to settle it without going to war, as Mr Lincoln wished us to do. We would have cost us lives. It might have cost as much to purge all the shaves, as we are paying now, every 10 years for pensions. What would have cost us lives if the war would have paid for the shaves probably two times over.

destruction of homes, in the improvement of the South—worst of all, in the bitter race antagonisms which dislodge all of us. The South has a unique value of the South and under the protection of the Negroes No one will say to day that this trust was betrayed. The Negroes, as a race, are trustworthy to-day as they were their pionton and hatred of the South is largely a by-product of the war, and the reconstruction policies. That suspicion and hatred are by no means universal at the present time, but race existed in the days of slavery and who mined that the Negroes shall have the opportunities of manhood and womanhood.
"The nation has not, then, wholly neglected the Negroes. It has made progress in the education of their education, besides all the unwisful things it did in the reconstruction days, it has done much for them that was meant to be wise and that has been wise."
"Nor have the Southern States wholly neglected or despised them. In spite of them, we have been taught to them and many opportunities. The South depends largely on the labor of the Negro for its prosperity. There is an advantage to the South in the most intelligent Christian people at the South who have heard an echo of preachers in the eastern states and will do what can to give Brother in Black the chance to be a man. It is on the growth of this sentiment of the Negro that the best hopes of the race must be placed. The Negro belongs in the South. South needs him, and quaint lives within the South must be born to live with him which means, of course, that it must give him a full chance of a Christian man and a titan.
"It was medial at the first when three of our four millions of helpless people were one off their own counsels for us at the North, and one off to what the nation could do, to add to what the nation could do, to the Christian people at the North, by part of our agency so sought to take part in the determination, as was merely early in the fold and pushed the endorse of showing such training teachers to such work. Strengthened and outworked work were planted in various parts of the South our special work, as congress gathionists has mainly been the work of these millions of Negroes are not to be a subtest class, if they are to have to be in this commonwealth, they must be taught in this commonwealth, they must be taught in this commonwealth, they must have teachers who know how and what to teach, they must have teachers who know how and what to teach, they must have teachers who know how and what to teach, they must have teachers who can show them how to build their homes and make their sanitary

* A POOR RULE.
The news of the killing of a score of American citizens in Mexico by native soldiers or bandits, and the knowledge of the position taken in the matter by the Administration at Washington must bring to every thinking Negro one question which stands out above all others. It is not the question of whether the United States should intervene in Mexico or stay out of Mexico; the question is, "Why one attitude on Mexico and an entirely opposite Sne on Haiti"?
It was claimed that the cause of humanity demanded that this Government should go into Haiti and put an end to revolution and anarchy. The question naturally arises, "Have political conditions in Haiti ever reached such a low level as they have now reached in Mexico?" This much is true, that whether under one supreme government in Haiti or under two or three pretending governments, the safety of foreigners has been guaranteed and secured. If, as is true, this Government sent an army into Haiti and fought unequal battles with the ill equipped parties, in which many of them have been killed, and took full control of Haitian affairs, because the Island Republic had been in a state of revolution for some months, what should it not do in the case of Mexico, where for a year and a half there has been no shadow of responsible government, and where American men, women and children have been killed by hundreds?
If intervention in Haiti was a duty in answer to the demands of common humanity, a duty, the performance of which will result in untold benefits to the Haitians, why is not the same true of Mexico? These questions are sure to press themselves upon all thinking colored men. They are bound to wonder if the difference between the cases of Mexico and Haiti is one of size or color.
PARAGRAPHS.
The Democratic party indeed has troubles of its own. There is the Mexican crisis, the unsettled question with the Teutonic Powers, the task of straddling the pacificist movement and the preparedness program, the problem of raising revenue enough to make up for the huge treasury deficit, and the enormous job of trying to do all these things in a manner that will insure re-election. Believe us, some job!
Colonel Roosevelt's motto for the Newsboys' Club, "Never be neutral between right and wrong" is likely to take a place along with his other famous phrases; for it expresses a fine truth and has the proper alliterative ring to it to make it popular. We wonder if the Colonel meant it exclusively for the Newsboys' Club or that it might also be adopted by the Washington Administration?
VIEWS AND REVIEWS
LIVING ON AIR.
"Living on air" is a phrase which has been given an application equivalent to living on nothing, or next to nothing, or not living at all. And yet, there is nothing that we cannot get along with less of than air, and still live. The ability of the human machine to run on without food or water or sleep is wonderful, but the moment its supply of air is cut off, it stops.
a phrase which has been nothing, or next to nothing that we cannot. The ability of the hour or sleep is wonderful, it stops. Its to-day come to hand. It now means the living. This is the age who study and know the health.
It not long ago when intuit night air was poisoned, used to close all the windows a breath of night air cools many folks who still closed room in which one there in which is bred a zena and consumption. Four walls is to throw in a room with only a single who can afford to hatch a practice of sleeping count of their strength, more serious complaint, with a headache, or this because they have been they have not had a sun up the waste and put the body. Throw open the weather lecture; it applies on the ground. Indeed, time, because in the heat air theory will run the heat. The reason we is the cold season, and kick up the cracks is now cool weather as it is in should sleep in a room window open two inches more than that is better pre-condition air not only when we speak of the ability food, drink or sleep; it without air it will run down costs, drink, even the thing most necessary, met, most people take on could use. If the average less food or less air, he is true that the average for the good of either soul because the man the state of the soul. Not only cleanses the body systems of Brahmanical less than the deep-breath possible to experience easy to believe that seldom a more active mind of air. Probably hallucinate people in the world the full share of air.
In your house, especially, along the street practice until it becomes a habitable must live on air.
"Living on air" has to-day come to have, among intelligent people, a new significance. It now means the very best way, in fact, the only real way of living. This is the age of fresh air and deep breathing for those who study and know the secrets of acquiring and maintaining good health.
There was a time not long ago when intelligent people believed and doctors taught that night air was poisonous. So people when they went to bed at night, used to close all the windows and even chink up the cracks, so that not a breath of night air could enter the room. Indeed, there are a great many folks who still stick to the practice. It is now known that a closed room in which one or more persons sleep produces the atmosphere in which is bred and nurtured the germs of cold, gripe, influenza and consumption. The only safe way to sleep in a room with four walls is to throw open the windows. It is still better to sleep in a room with only a roof and no walls, and this a great many people who can afford to have such sleeping quarters built are doing.
Persons who make a practice of sleeping in a closed room, even if they do not, on account of their strength, render themselves very sensitive to colds or more serious complaint, are apt to find that they awake in the morning with a headache, or that tired, all-gone, unrefreshed feeling. That is because they have become poisoned through the night. Because they have not had a sufficient supply of fresh air, the thing that burns up the waste and poisonous matter as fast as it accumulates in the body. Throw open the windows and note the difference.
This is not a hot weather lecture; it applies to the present season while the snow is on the ground. Indeed, it applies more strictly now than at any other time, because in the summer even those who believe in the old night air theory will run the risk and open a window on account of the heat. The reason why we are writing this article is because this is the cold season, and the inclination to close the windows and chink up the cracks is now strongest. But fresh air is as necessary in cold weather as it is in hot weather. Even in cold weather no one should sleep in a room with less ventilation than is offered by a window open two inches at the bottom and four inches at the top. More than that is better providing the bed clothes are of the proper sort.
And we must live on air not only when we sleep, but also in our waking hours. We have spoken of the ability of the human machine to run along without food, drink or sleep; this it can do for hours, even for days, but without air it will run down and stop within a few minutes. Now food costs, drink, even water; costs, a plate to sleep costs, but air, the thing most necessary for the human body, is absolutely free; and yet, most people take only a third or a half of the amount they should use. If the average man had to make a choice between using less food or less air, he would be wise in cutting off the food, because it is true that the average person eats too much and breathes too little for the good of either his soul or body.
We mention the soul because the manner of breathing has a great deal to do with the state of the soul. It is an ascertained fact that deep breathing not only cleanses the body, but clears the mind. Yoga, one of the six systems of Brahmanical philosophy, is founded upon nothing more or less than the deep-breathing of air.
Perhaps, it is not possible to experience all the claims of Yoga philosophy, but it is easy to believe that such results as a more cheerful disposition and a more active mind can be attained through the proper breathing of air. Probably half of the mean, narrow, shriveled up, disagreeable people in the world are so because they are not getting and using the full share of air.
Try it. Ventilate your house, especially the room in which you sleep. As you walk along the street practice taking in full, deep draughts of pure air until it becomes a habit, and you will find out that to live well one must live on air.

No more hopeful sign for us as a race has appeared than that contained in the news columns of last week's "Age," where were recorded the resolutions against lynching adopted by the University Commission on Southern Race Questions which recently held its sessions at Trinity College and the University of North Carolina. The Commission is composed of eleven white professors of colleges in as many Southern states. The states represented are Texas, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Arkansas and Alabama. That about covers all the ground. We say this is a most hopeful sign, because it is not only an evidence of the awakening of conscience on the part of the best white Southern elements, but that these elements have reached the point where they are no longer afraid to speak out against a public opinion which has heretofore compelled and exacted silence. When a large enough proportion of Southerners have reached this point, then, and not before then will the race: question find adjustment; for say or do what we will, no matter how many friends we may have on the outside, the final adjustment of the question lies between the white man and the Negro in the South. It has got to be settled there and by them, but it will be completely and right-cously settled only when common Southern sentiment is in line with what the University Commission is striving to do.

The death of Sam Lucas removes from the theatrical profession the man with the longest and, perhaps, most varied career of all colored performers who have made their reputations in this country. In his long career, Lucas represented on the stage roles ranging all the way from a knock about "darkey character" to a fine and sympathetic portrayal of the gentle "Uncle Tom." To properly estimate his ability in legitimate characterization, it is well to remember than his "Uncle Tom" was played in a white company under the direction of no less a person than Charles Frohman. Only a few months ago, Daniel Frohman, in his biography of his brother, which is running in the "Cosmopolitan" magazine, paid a tribute to Lucas, both as an actor and a man.
Sam Lucas was one of the few colored men in the profession to whom the term actor might be properly applied. He was not a performer by main strength; he had brain, and he always put his brain into whatever he did, no matter how small or insignificant the part might be. Anyone who saw his performance of the minor part of Chairman of the Board of Education in "The Red Moon" must have been impressed with this fact.
To those who knew Sam Lucas, the most remarkable thing about him, more remarkable than his long career or his ability as a performer, was his eternal youth. He never grew old. Up to the last, his optimistic outlook on life was an example and an inspiration to younger men. There was always the cheerful greeting and a
story at parting. How he could relate so many stories without monotonously repeating himself will always remain a mystery.
A couple of years ago he was engaged to play the part of "Uncle Tom" for the great moving picture production which was made of the play; and so he had the satisfaction of seeing what was his greatest pride, his portrayal of Harriet Beecher Stowe's hero, preserved on the screen.
Sam Lucas leaves an honorable record behind him. He enjoyed the respect of both white and colored members of the profession, and the special love and esteem of those of his own race.
GENERAL HUERTA. Gen. Victorian Huerta died virtually a prisoner of the U. S. Government. It is true that he was released several days before his death, but he was mortally stricken at the time. Huerta will go down as one of the most remarkable men in the history of Mexico. Even in such momentous times as these, he made his impress on the consciousness of the world. His death serves to call to mind and emphasize the great, fundamental error made by the Wilson Administration in its Mexican policy, that of not being able to see and realize that Huerta was the one strong man in Mexico, who could have dominated the situation and brought about order. If, instead of switching from one rebel chief to another, the Administration had recognized Huerta and thrown the prestige and influence of this Government behind his efforts, there would have been peace in Mexico to-day, and the United States would not have to face the awful tangle before it now.
Before Huerta died he heard the news of the massacre of the sixteen Americans. Most likely, he felt it was some justification. At any rate, it is a fact that during the time he was provisional president of Mexico, the lives of foreigners were fully protected.
AS A WOMAN SEES IT.
BY RHETA CHILDE DORR.
It is a matter of gratification to that small number, of Americans who have vision enough to be friends of the colored race that Major. Morton, the new head of Tuskegee, is a full-blooded Negro. "He is one of the few black men I know," said the lamented Booker Washington, "who can trace his ancestry in an unbroken line on both sides back to Africa." Friends of the colored race are pleased with the elevation of Major Morton because the excuse for all the senseless and brutal "Jim Crow" laws and encampment on the threepenny the black man is inherently inferior to the white man and should therefore be placed outside the social pale.
When it is pointed out that the colored race has, in less than two generations of freedom, acquired a vast property, has educated a large proportion of its children, has learned, to a considerable extent, to live independently of white people, and is steadily rising in business and professional rank, the answer is, "All of those people have white blood in their veins. It is the white blood that furnishes them with brains and ambition." Well, Major Robert Morton, the best man in all this country to take Booker Washington's place, is a full-blooded Negro, great-grandson of an African chief, whom the noble white man kidnapped, threw into the unutterable horrors of a "bull brier" hold and sold in the slave market of Richmond, Va.
The blood of the chieftain, undiluted by any white blood, showed its strength in the mother of Robert Moton. A slave, she managed to learn to read, and it was that mother who gave the noted educator his first lessons. An ex-Confederate officer named Morrisette continued the boy's education and prepared him for Hampton Institute and afterward for Harvard, where he was fitted to become a teacher of physical training. Moton's features are pure African His skin is very dark. He has the rich and colorful voice of the Negro. He is a Negro, something to he "Jim Crowed" in the street cars and railway trains, but one of the country's big men for all that.
TUSKEGGE AND ITS FUTURE.
(From Christian Science Monitor.
Unanimous choice of the special committee of the trustees of Tuskegee Institute, appointed to name a succession of non-Major Robert Russa Moton of Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., and there is very good reason for believing that the trustees will prove of all friends of the Alabama university. Recently that institution has been in charge of Emmett J Scott, an able educator and a strong character, reporting on their selection, says, "In talking this action the committee has not been uniminded of the long development of Emmett J Scott for the position. The problem to be dealt with is a manifold one, and it has seemed wise to work a solution that will bring to the Tuskegee another forceful personality. The Hoover Washingtons the Robert Russa Motons, the Emmett J Scott's former fame but no less earnest in the work, have been striving for years to reduce
the percentage of illiteracy among the Negroes, and, compared with the beginning of their labor, the results achieved too wonderfully. The progress of these schools progress has been made. The total expenditures for common schools in that part of the country in the half decade from 1906-7 to 1911-13 was increased from $53,000, to $64,000, and to $72,000 sharing largely in the increase. In 1910 there were in the South 141 public high schools for Negroes, with 473 teachers and 8,251 students; in the following three years the number of high schools increased from 10,594 teachers and 10,594 pupils; growth since has been in about the same ratio. Aside from public schools, elementary, secondary and higher institutions support the schools. Important part of the provision for the education of Negroes, and these schools, and their usefulness, show steady increase and growth. In the class last named are included seventeen students, and 10 colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts. The annual increase of the endowed schools range from $84, for a school with twelve pupils, to $144, for a school with Howard University, and $272,738 the income of Tuskegee University.
While from these and other facts the deduction may fairly be drawn that education of the Negro in the South is insufficient to overlook the fact that an immense improvement must be made before the work, especially with regard to the institutions of the South, satisfactory basis. On such establishments as Tuskegee must necessarily devolve the task of providing instructors. Considering the relation these institutions have with the Negro in raising the Negro in the United States to a higher intellectual and industrial plane, they should be granted support, too much information of public support than they now receive. It will be the duty of the successor of Dr. Washington not only to preserve all the latter accomplished but to build higher upon the foundations he has left.

ONE BUSINESS BLOCK
ON COLUMBUS HILL
In one block, Sixty-second street between Amsterdam and Eleventh avenue, twenty-three business enterprises are owned, operated and supported by Negroes. Of these businesses seven are grocery stores. There is one white grocer in the block and he is doing a small business. In looking over the enterprises in operation it is notised that there is only one colored man dealing in ice coal and wood. He must compete with five men in the same line. While there are four or five colored tailors on West Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth streets, none are in business on West Sixty-second street
the colored enterprises comprise, beside the seven grocery stores, two undertaking establishments, six restaurants, three barber shops, one pool room, one ice-coal and wood dealer, a second-hand furniture dealer and repairer, a print shop, a hair dressing establishment and a whitewasher. There appears to be an opening for a colored tailor and shoe-maker.
Several of the grocers were approached on the advisability of uniting for the purpose of co-operative buying and mutual protection from the old-paying creditor who, after the failed for bill to an grocer, gives his trade to another grocer, who eventually suffers the same fate. It is thought that a grocers' association would enable them to buy and sell cheaper. All attempts at a union have heretofore failed.
David S. Jacks purchased a grocery store from N. Norman Drake a year or so ago and is doing a good business at 244 West Sixty-second street
All varieties of canned goods and groceries can be purchased from M. C. Peer, grocer at 209 West Sixty-second street. His stock includes candies, cigars and soda waters. A delivery boy is employed
Making a specialty of southern cooking, J C Smith has successfully conducted a restaurant equipped with six tables at 208 est Sixty-second street. Mr. Smith, who has been in the business two years, employs two assistants
Ernest Porte, pronistor and manager of the Victoria Lunch Room at 205 est Sixty-second street remains open day and night. Many of his customers testify to his polite treatment of them and the excellent service rendered. The Victoria carries a full line of cigars and cigarettes. Mrs Amanda Porte and Helen Andrews give polite service at the eight tables.
Lewis Stone is proprietor of the only poolroom in the block. Some years ago when pool rooms and clubs were permitted to operate in the basements and cellars there were many questionable places in this block. The activities of social workers who have had in mind the bettering of conditions in the vicinity have caused the police to refuse permission to anybody to operate a poolroom or club in basements. This has eliminated the many dives and has opened up stores for productive business.
Albert Harmon is an ice, coal and wood dealer with headquarters at 217 West Sixty-second street. Mr. Harmon competes successfully against five white dealers.
Smallwood is manager of the Alexander Press at 211 West Sixty-second street.
R. Branker buys and sells second-hand furniture and does all kinds of repairing. In his shop, which is located in the basement of 210 West Sixty-second street, furniture is upholstered, mattresses are made and chairs caned. Above the workshop a well-stocked showroom is maintained
NEGRO CLUB DISPLAY
IN MUMMERS PARADE
PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Mummers' Parade in this city on New Years' Day is an affair that can be seen nowhere else in this country. No other town, on any occasion, turns out so many people in costume, no other pageant has the variety of "shooters," and in no other place do so many people turn out to witness the display.
The George A. Persch Club is composed of 300 Negroes, and this club was the only one representing the race in the parade New Year's Day. The club had an excellent outfit, an aeroplane complete in every detail, with a comedian aviator at the wheel, being its particular feature.

PRIDE OF RACE
POWERFUL PLAY
(continued from page one)
Mr. Hilliard must not forget that some of the New York papers do not care to handle the race problem unless it borders on the sensational In Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago he might expect more kindly consideration, but in New York everything is "repellent" that shows the colored American as a man with a heart and soul and possessing lofty aspirations.
After reading the criticisms of the daily press on "The Pride of Race" I am more confirmed in the opinion that a chair on the Negro ought to be established in our leading colleges. For the ignorance displayed by some New York critics on the race question is heart-rending. And yet they undertake to write authoritatively on a delicate subject with a superciliousness that provokes pity, for they make it manifest that they do not know whereof they sneak.
Here are a few "gems" of thought dropped by some of our local dramatic critics: "Furthermore, it can hardly be said that Hilliard has a good conception of what a 'one-sixteenth Negro' should be and do, although we get occasional hints of great physical strength and other evidences of primitive nature"—New York Press. Now if the Press wants to increase its circulation, I suggest that it allow its dramatic critic an opportunity to give his conception of what a "one-sixteenth Negro" should be and do. His dissertation would be humorous enough to feature the comic supplement were it not that he would cut too pathetic a figure on so important a subject.
Says the New York Evening Sun "Such a theme can only arouse race antagonism in the unthinking and cause those who are deeply interested in the real solution of the race problem to despair." And yet the Evening Sun thought "The Birth of a Nation" a wonderful production. It saw, nothing in this obnoxious picture that would arouse race antagonism. It did not utter one word of protest against the scene in which a coarse, ignorant black brute attacked a white girl bent on rape. Such a scene in "The Birth of a Nation" did not prick the finer sensibilities of the Evening Sun writer, although the thought of a man, one-sixteenth Negro, a man of wealth, culture and refinement, marrying a white woman is exceedingly unpleasant. "The New York Sun says "The Pride of Race deals with a subject that, outside of the medical profession, interests only those who seek for the morbid in their amusement." Even Tillman and Vardaman will not agree with the Sun's critic that the Negro question, one of the greatest of America's problems, is of interest to the medical profession only.
The New York Tribune thinks that "The Pride of Race" deals with a play-wright's problem rather than one of human kind," the writer failing to see anything intensely human in the play, while the New York World says "Other plays, happily not many, have dealt with the topic of misegendation. The tireless search for unpleasant discussions, does not venture on the subject." Wonder why the subject is so "repeent" to the World's dramatic crime?
Many of the dramatic writers who have nothing but criticism for "The Pride of Race" were loud in praise of the Birth of a Nation reminding me of the Southerner who braces about having nursed the 'react to a black mamma who retires to eat to eat at home unless prepared to live in what叫murder when he is pregnant and mending his own status, stated twenty text as the sight of this colored man sitting in the same restaurant is recalling to the Southerner who of course is a victim of colorblindness.
About the Play.
"The Pride of Rav is written at a child and an adult written by Michael Landman last in Wallace Jewett's story 'What Became Deegan Folk' the piece deals with emancipation. It tells of Deegan Folk, a young man who whisked away his father is a power in the world. He learns that the older Folk after his emancipation to love Cahill on that his grandfather married a freed woman and that his blood is one sixth Negro Deegan Folk despite the revolutions as to his racial identity, murders having been assured by his father that the chance of being discovered through posterity is one in a million. Upon learning that a child is to be born Folk in a state of collapse, bigs his physician to prevent its coming into the world. In a most dramatic stone he confesses to the doctor that he is a Negro. Although shocked at this intelligence, Deegan Folk is told by the physician that to stop the birth of the child would be unjustifiable murder. The husband, therefore, decides to take his chance. The child is born and the most tense scene of the piece is when the mother discovers that her baby is "black." In a violent rage she denounces her husband and renounces the child Deegan Folk strives to show the enraged woman that it is as much her offspring as his, but she refuses to become reconciled to her "black baby." So Deegan Folk takes his son and leaves for parts unknown
The last scene in the play shows Deegan Folk twenty years later living in a contented state on a big tobacco plantation in Cuba. His son is growing into manhood and is about to enter college. The play closes with father evening admiration for son, Deegan Folk telling the boy that "the greatest gifts of God are life and work."
Outside of the United States it is doubtful if The Pride of Race" would furnish food for adverse discussion as the color question is not a burning issue in South America or Central America where the intermixture of white and black is regarded as perfect material needed to the play exude unusual interest in Europe where the color of a man's skin is incidental. Our color question is purely local just as the Irish question in England and the Jewish question in Russia.
It is expected that I should entertain similar views as the average white American on
"The Pride of Race." It was impossible for me to experience a feeling of horror as did those around me when Mrs Deegan Folk learned that her baby was "black." I naturally felt sorry for the husband and was hoping that the baby would be white so as not to disrupt the marital relations of the Folk family, which I felt would surely come to pass should a child of dusky hue put in appearance. It is true, too, that I was swayed by the line acting of the principals during these tense moments, but I had the advantage of my fellow onlookers in knowing that there is no essential difference between a white baby and a colored baby, and that a colored child is not a monstrosity.
There is one word repeatedly used in "The Pride of Race" which was objective to me—'taint." In the dictionary the verb taint means to imbue or impregnate with something noxious or poisonous. In what way does the Negro blood contaminate? What injury did it do *deegan Folk*, the honor man of his class at Yale, who excelled in athletics and was head and shoulders above his friends in every other avenue of endeavor? Where are the cases on record proving that Negro blood contaminates all other blood with which it comes in contact? Color prejudice seems to work on the adult mind just as ghost stories play on the imagination of the young. Children cannot sleep at night after having been told a ghost story, and although they live in fear of a nocturnal visitor the ghost never puts in its appearance. So it is with the color line bugaboo, which has been so overworked that people are kept in a state of perpetual fear, yet its existence is ghost-like—more imaginary than real
An Imaginary Bugaboo.
Colored Americans who see "The Pride of Race" will agree with me that it is natural for Deegan Folk to become horrified upon learning that he had Negro blood in his veins. After believing tor over thirty years that he was a white man, it is not at all surprising that he suffers great mental anguish when apprised of his racial identity by his father. Most plays dealing with musccegation tell of a who does not learn that he possesses a 'taint' of Negro blood until some crucial moment of his life. However, there are hundreds of men and women in New York City who, although fully aware of their racial abhitions have gone over on "the other side" and feel highly elated over being able to practise deception. Although they are Negroes they arouse no racial discussions and the imaginary bugaboo as to the evil consequences of mixed marriages does not crop up unless the discovery is made of the "taint"
As large numbers of our citizens of mixed blood hail from the Southland, it at first struck me a bit curious that Deagan folk and his father should have been born in New England, but the information that Deagan Folk's grandfather had married a colored woman made everything clear. In the South children of mixed parentage are born on a large scale that is astounding, but the laws of man and the laws of nature conflict, the marriage of colored and white being forbidden. In the North no such laws adorn their books and its illegitimate population is, therefore, much smaller than in those sections where mixed marriages are not permitted.
Being somewhat familiar with the laws of equation, proportion tractions and the like I cannot understand what process of reasoning one with a degree of Nerger blood in his arms would be related to the Nerger race, while the admiration unconsciously arose with the intention to Nerger blood in his arms.

The minor roles are capable taken care of. "The Pride of Race" has been adroitly constructed by Mr Landman and the most delicate situations are cleverly treated so as not to give offense Iousa Sherwin, dramatic corte for the New York Globe, one of the few writers to have been involved in the unpleasant strikes the nail on the head when he says "Personally I think it is bush to suggest that the play is unpleasant. The unpleasantness is eliminated in the treatment. Moreover, I believe many of the people who profess to object are expressing not their own opinion, but a politico reflection of what they think the ought to think.
LAFAYETTE THEATRE IS ENTIRELY UNDER COLORED MANAGEMENT
The Lafayette Theatre, Harlem's popular vaudeville house, is now entirely under colored management, C. W. Morganstern of Morganstern & Walton, having severed his connections with the theatre to devote all his time to his booking office. Mr. Morganstern will no longer book acts for the Lafayette.
A number of important changes have been made at the Lafayette and every effort will be made to give the patrons the best entertainment obtainable. The country store feature has been revived with pleasing results to all concerned. Tuesday has been set aside as "Grocery Night" and Saturday as "Jewelry Night"
The heating system, which has been giving trouble all winter, is now in excellent working order, and together with good vaudeville and motion pictures the patrons will be given every comfort.
"New York After Dark" is the sketch being put on this week by the Anita Bush Stock Company, and which is full of dramatic situations, pathos and comedy. Andrew Bishop is at his best in a "rube" role, while Carlotta Freeman, Anita Bush, Mrs. Charles H. Anderson, "Dooley" Wilson, Charles H. Gilpin and J. Francis Mores work well. J. Francis and "Dooley" Wilson are heard in vocal selections which are much appreciated.
One of the best magicians, if not the best, seen at the Lafayette on the bill the first half of the week was Dunninger, who did some clever sleight of hand trucks. Ruth Allen, a colored girl with a pleasing personality, a nice voice and pretty costumes, made many friends. Madden & Mack, acrobats, opened the bill in good style.
The orchestra, under the leadership of Marie Lucas, continues to be one of the big features of the house.
Vaudeville and motion pictures may be seen at the Lafayette Theatre from 1:30 to 11 p.m.

head for the abolishment of mental slavery. It is the latest of emancipators.
Both white and colored people should see "The Pride of Race." The former for educational reasons, with a view to developing a healthy and an unbiased mind, the latter for inspiration, with a view to developing self-esteem and race pride "The Pride of Race" is not the great American play, but it is a great American play. After witnessing a performance of Mr Hilliard's latest dramatic offering I am firm in the belief that the great American play, yet to be written, will have for its dominating theme the race issue
THEATRICAL JOTTINGS
Joe Sheftell, manager, and the Light Black Dots are in Chicago. Marcell Mitchell, the comedian, was taken sick at 615 o'clock Monday, January 3, and died the same evening at 10:30 Sheftell writes that Mitchell was buried in Chicago, with the assistance of himself and the act, Sam Davis, formerly of Crumley & Davis, took the part on the opening night without a rehearsal and went through in fine style. Mitchell leaves a wife, who lives in New York. Word has been received in New York that Tutt Whitney, or the Smart Set Company, was quite sick in Springfield, who Hattie Akers was prostrated in Chicago with pneumonia and had to be left at the Brown Hotel.
Richard (Dick) Justic can now be found at the Utopian Theatre, having taken charge of the operating room there.

The much-talked-of Carlton-Alpha game is over with Alpha victors by the score of 35 to 29. It was Carlton's first defeat of the season and the Brooklyn champs certainly died hard because the game had to be carried into an extra period of five minutes. When the game was over the score was tied with the count 29-29. It was at this point that Alpha sent in three "big 5" men, namely, Capers, Dask and Scott, but the Carltones were good, game sports and off the tie under this handicap. One thing noticeable was that Alpha did not use any "Big 5" men during the whole game. It was only in the extra period that they were rushed in. This was quite a surprise, but proves Alpha had a good supply of second string men. The score at the end of the first half was 14-9 in Alpha's favor, and they held the lead during the whole game until the very end, when Carltones made a sensationally strong finish and tied the score Mirande, Wallace and Capers played a great game for Alpha while F. Scott was the star on defense for Carlton, with Shannon and Peyton leading the offense for the Brooklyn boys. It was one of the great games that the fans seldom see, but we cannot help but wonder what the result would have been if Alpha had not made that "last minute" change. The game was well attended by a large enthusiast crowd. There were no fights or arguments and no unnecessary rough work by either team. The game was very fast and clean and well played. A return game ought to be a great

In the preliminary game the St Christopher College defeated the Carlton University by one point the score being 13-12. Carlton led all the way when in the last minute St. shot belet that won the game.
If St Christopher, Alpha and the "Incorporators" don't meet in an interchange of games then the championship question will be as much a mobile this season as it is supposed to have been other seasons. All teams will be claiming the title and the only way to settle the issue is on the basketball courts. So let us get to together.
It is about time that the enemies and knockers of the "Incorporators" realized that this organization has come to stay. The "Inc" is established and getting stronger all the time.
St. Augustine Again Victorious.
Elizabeth, N I - St Augustine Five of Elizabeth added another victory to their last Saturday evening when they defeated the Royal A. C of Paterson at Christ Church Parish Hall. The first half was very close, the score being 6-6, but in the second half St. Augustine went to work and the Royals hardly saw the ball. T say that any one starred would be unfair to the others, as each player gave the victory. When the referee had the final whistle the score had rolled up to 23-9.
Next Saturday evening, January 22, the St. Augustine Five will line up against the F I C Settlement Team on St. Vaccourt.
The Luxe Live are working hard and their new material seems to be very promising. In order to be in spandial form for their clash with the Imperials of Last Orange, the Luxe Live have postponed the game for another week on January 11th. The team will meet the Luxe Play Live and this game is expected to put them on notice for the intergal game.
The Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. defeated the strong Crescents of Atlantic City on Saturday, January 15, by the score 30—29. The game was staged on the court of the victors, and was fast and furious from the start. The home team got off to a flying start in the first half and scored a total of 14 points to 8 for the Crescents. Not to be outdone the shore boys came back strong in the second half and tied the score amid cheers from the throng that crowded the hall. The game was nip and tuck until the first whistle and was the best ever played in Philadelphia Gym. Line up:
Crescents—Mathews, f; Dorsey, f; Norwood, c., Kimbrough, g; Alboy,
Y. M. C A—Trent, f. Willis, f. Cherry, c. Hainey, g. Moore, g. Field Goals—Mathews, 4; Norwood, 3; Willis, 3; Hainey, 3; Moore, 3; Alboy, 2; Trent, 2; Dorsey, 1; Cherry, 1; Willis, 3; Mathews, 8; Hainey, 5; Dorey, 1; Trent
On Friday night, January 21, the Crescents of Atlantic City will meet the St. Peter Claver Five of Philadelphia at Fitzgerald's Audorium, Atlantic City.
On Tuesday evening, January 26, the world champion Incorporators will travel to Newark to meet the fast Alpine Five. Needless to say, it will be a very interesting game. The game will be played at the Palace Lucille, formerly Pierson's Hall, and as the Incorporators are very popular throughout the state of Jersey a large crowd is expected to see the game.
After I witness the clash between Alpha "Big 5" and College Settlement on January 25 and St. Christopher and Hampton on January 28, I will have something denine to say about the outcome of the Alpha-St Christopher argument on February 12.
When the "Incorporators" entertained the Delaney Rifles on Saturday evening you ought to have seen how Alpha, St Christopher and the "Incorporators" were all mixed up in their worship. It all that same that they are all getting together or that there is a good deal of hypocrisy somewhere
Don't forget that on Friday night, March 3, the celebrated and famous Cardinal-Hawthas of Washington, D.C. will be in town to play the big return game with the "Incorporators." The Cardinal team is the team that jumped into great fame by its hard-fought and close victory over the world champs on Christmas Eve in Washington The Cardinal-Hawthas is the best team that Washington has produced since Howard University's famous team composed of Oliver, Nixon, Gilmore Gray and Curtis This Cardinal team played the "Incorporators" to a stand-till, winning by three points. The "Incorporators" want one more chance, which will be given them on Friday night, March 3, at Manhattan Casino *Watch the New York Age and all newspapers for advertising of this biggest of all games.* Mose Sisselo, who has been playing with the Imperial A C of Orange, N.J., this season has returned to the Alpine A C basketball team of Newark.
