PHILADELPHIA, Pa — Suspension for one year was the verdict handed down by the sub-committee of management of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows in the cases of B. S. Ingram, district grand master, and Benjamin J. Davis, district grand secretary, of the District Grand Lodge, No. 18, of Georgia, accompanied with a re-application of the charter of District Grand Lodge, No. 18. This action was taken at the meeting of the S. C.M., in this city on Saturday, January 15, after being in session since the previous Monday morning. The action of the S. C. M follows a long period of dissension series in the ranks of Georgia Odd Fellows, caused, it is claimed, by Davis' opposits, by arbitrary rule and control of the affairs of the order, and also, it is alleged through officials of the national by the defiant attitude of the Georgia administration toward the law of the Order and to the instructions and rulings of the S.

Since President Wilson has informed Bishop Walters that to nominate a Negro for the office of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia would engender a bitter fight in the Senate increasing and intensifying race prejudice, many have come to the conclusion that the President was simply using that argument as a basis for following out his own inclination Bishop Walters is not of this mind and seems to be placing much confidence in the letter written by Governor Wilson from Trenton, N.J., on October 16, 1912, in which he declared that if elected President the colored people might count upon him for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which he could assist in advancing the interests of the race in the United States. In order that this opinion may be confirmed, and that the Negro Democrats may know just their status in the councils of the party, Bishop Walters has addressed an open letter to President Woodrow Wilson begging that he nominate a Negro for the office of recorder of deeds and put it up to the Senate to go on record as to its attitude toward Negroes holding important offices. The letter is as follows: Open Letter to President Wilson. Honored Sir—In this open letter I desire to thank you most heartily for audiencts granted and favors given me since your election as President of the United States, and further I think the heads of the departments for appointments and promotions made in their several bureaucies. That is a great abreast that it is not the policy of the National Democratic Party to appoint and confirm Negroes to prominent offices. In the light of the following letter and the nominations of Mr. Paterson Judge Terrell and Mr. Curtis, it is hard to believe, that Your Excellency shares in this question. 99 W. State St. Trenton, N. J. october 16, 1912 My Dear Bishop Walters: I hope that it seems superfluous to those who know me but to those who do not know me perhaps it is not necessary for me to assure my colored fellow-citizens of my earnest wish to see justice done them in every matter, and not more grudging justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every guarantee of our law every principle of our Constitution, commands this and our sympathies also should make it easy. The colored people of the United States have made extraordinary progress toward self-support and usefulness, and ought to be encouraged in every possible way. My sympathy with them as of standing and I want to assure them through you that should I become President of the United States they may count upon me for assistance in treating and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interests of trust in the United States. Certify the Lord's Name in the ment of some who are in the in the Dome of the party, and should as expressing the attitude of the party towards us. If someone means anything at all it must mean the sharing in the government of every honest, intelligent tax-paying citizen without regard to need of color. Surely this is endlessly true at a time when every man of every race in our beloved country is expected to serve the colors in case of a crisis and is needed to ensure preparedness for our national defense. It does appear to me that it should be the aim of the national government to inspire and intensify the warmest patriotism rather than discourage and repress the love and zeal of all citizens. To be officially informed that Negro cannot be confirmed in high federal positions such as they have held under former administrations no matter how worthy is to say the least discouraging. We have waited long and patiently to know what our political status under the Democratic rule is to be in all parts of this country. In certain parts of the Southland a property qualification was demanded and we met that but to no avail. Then the educational test was required and when our literacy was decreased 70 per cent and when we had met the educational qualification we were bid to stand aside and wait a little longer instead of being encouraged to transfer and vote. In many places where we presented ourselves for enrolment we were ruthlessly turned down. It is well to understand that the Democratic party cannot have the support of the Negro vote in the North, East and West, which it denies the ballot to the members of our race in the South for a national position to take such a position is unfair, unreasonable and untenable. Owing to the character of the opposition in certain quarters to a Negro 1920 CHIEF SAM CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER WITH MANSLAUGHTER Speculation as to what has become of 'Ober Sam', the allied African prime and chattain who succeeded in leading a large number of American Norwegians to a visionary Utopia on the west coast of Africa was partly set at rest last week, when three members of the allied ports reached New York, returning to their Texas homes. Other members of the party also recently reached this country brought the information that Chief Sam's ship had been seized by First authorities and that the chief was last in with her bert. And now these later arrivals say that because of the large number of deaths among the members of the party brought about by a lack of proper attention and food, Chief Sam has been arrested and imprisoned in Cape Coast Castle, West Africa, under a charge of manslaughter. Surviving members of the party are getting home as best they can. The three persons reaching New York Saturday on the White Star liner Cynicle were Mrs. W. H Lewis, Fred O Henry and Scott Warner, all of Galveston, Tex. Mrs Lewis is the widow of the second mate of Chief Sam's ship, the Liberia. They claimed American citizenship and were sent from England by the British authorities. From New York they were sent to their homes to the South African Board of Trade. Mrs. Lewis expressed the consensus of opinion of the parts when she delivered the following warning for the benefit of those entombing a trip to the African alborado. "You can get tarms on the west coast all right but take advice and make arrangements with one of the REAL CHILLS there first." being appointed Recorder of Deeds, it has become a test case and we are now contending so much for the office as we are for the principle involved, namely, the right of Negroes to be nominated and confirmed in important offices. We do hope Mr. President that so will not hesitate to make the nomination of a colored man to the office of the Recorder of Deeds or to one of equal importance where Senatorial confirmation is required for we desire to know whether it is to be the role of the democratic party to accord to Negroes the same rights and recognition granted to other citizens of the nation or in other words on the Democratic party afford to honor a half million voters who are constituent members in account of their poor. Most responsibly yours. ALEXANDER WALTERS Hill Walters has interviewed a number of Senators on the question of governing Negroes nominated for important positions and assurances have been given that the nominations are in good formation will follow. There are several prominent democrats who are aspirants for the vacant recorder ship and it is thought that either of them will be acceptable to Bishop Walters and members of the Negro Democratic League. Jarrell Howard of Hartford is one of the most prominent men mentioned. Prof Kelly Miller of Howard University is also mentioned in connection with the office but it is not known of he would accept the other. be President Wilson has total all along a colored man will be controlled for recorder of doctrines and I will in the President Mr. Ross Tilson also that there are some Southern states who are not opposed to Native-built other and that others will be conveniently absent when the roll is called. It is hoped that President Wilson will agree to the proposition made by Bishop Walters. THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1916. By Permission A. P. Bedou, New DKER T. WASHINGTON I, II and III. EMMETT J.

Nashville's leading colored merces will take ahand at Boosting Firmer Register of the United States Treasurer J. C. Napier, of this city, as the next president of the National Negro Business' League to succeed the late Imfainted Dr. Booker T Washington. A resolution was made by the members of the Nashville Booster Club at its annual meeting held here last Thursday night calling on all friends of Mr. Napier for support to elect him to the presidency of the League at the meeting to be held at Kansas City. The Nashville mer hants will send a delegation of Boosters to the annual gathering to work for the election of Mr. Napier. Register Napier is one of the most successful men of the race in the entire country and has accumulated considerable wealth as a result of his own efforts. In Nashville, his home city, he established the first Negro banking institution to open its doors in Tennessee and the confidence in which he was held by all who knew him placed the institution upon a sound foundation from the beginning. Some twenty-five years ago he was elected as a member of the City Council of Nashville and gained a thorough knowledge of the city government. He introduced many measures that became laws and have resulted in untold benefit to the city. He afterwards became prominent in counties and state politics and served on the Republican State Legislature Committee for many years. While it is not known that Mr. Napier would accept the presidency of the National Negro Business League his friends believe that after many years of service as chairman of the executive committee which position was close to President Washington Mr. Napier is the logical man for the place.

This regiment, ladies and gentlemen, is the best disciplined, the best dressed, the best marching and the best maneuvering regiment I have ever seen in my forty years of service." CLAIM MAN IS COLORED, MARRIED WHITE GIRL Special to TURK NEW YORK ACR Special to THE NEW YORK AGE KINGSTON, VA—Claud Penuel and Caro Jones were married in Norfolk several weeks ago, and now Claud is under sentence of twelve months on the county roads and Caro is to serve an equal length of time in the Lemont county jail, because it is found that Claud is the descendant of both colored and white persons, while Caro is said to be pure white. They were tried in the recorder's court and witnesses testified that ancestors of the man two or three generations back were mulattos or octoroons. The question of the marriage was not considered since the decision that Claud is a mixed breed renders the ceremonies performed null and void. Penuel it is said has ample means and he has appealed to the Superior Court which is expected to render a decision next week. Both are under bond and the girl is in the care of her relatives. Penuel will arrear the case to the Superior Court of no necessity. It is not thought that the girl will be submitted to the permit court in the descent of the recorder is sustained as her sentence will probably be aide.

Spread to THE NEW YORK AGE Providence R.I. The locally famous Mohr murder trial is fast drawing to a close and within a few days we shall know whether a Rhode Island jury drawn from the humber walks of his can disregard the nky avalanche of word-painted, hand-drawn, camera-focused hysterics, largely anti-Negro, released by the big brigade of "sob sisters which descended upon these busy plantations two weeks ago. The expert "soldiers" have remained with us ever since, apparently with the idea of helping the murdered physician's wealthy widow, a colorless, pathetic figure, to escape the web so skilfully drawn about her by a resourceful attorney general, and to enmesh hopelessly the two Negro defendants, a stable boy and his assistant, who have no resources save those provided by the generosity of the ablest counsel man with race pride—this State has ever engraved in a murder trial For the defense of Mrs C Franklin Mohr the white woman, are arrayed former Mayor John J Eitzgerald of Pawtucket, Democratic leader, keen adroit, eloquent, Arthur J Cushing Wm F Carroll and James M McCartin For C Victor Brown stands William H Lewis, Harvard athlete, former third assistant attorney general of the United States, and for Heur H Spellman is John B Edwards, quiet studious, but effective Lewis the Outstanding Figure. Mayor Fitzgerald, the readiest debater and most effective stump speaker and criminal jury lawyer in the State, can always be relied upon, above all others, to provide reworks wherever he appears, especially, in a criminal case. He has a following which would pack any court room just to hear 'lighting late, room on up.' But this clique has been loudest in praise of the work done in this celebrated case by Mr Lewis who is as multifarious, unustious and glacially cool when occasion requires as he is thunderous, galling and fiery when driving home a worthwhile point. The trial had not gone a day before it was discovered that Mr Lewis outclassed all the other lawyers in coeruleousness, in logic, in subtlety, in his ability to extract damaging evidence against the States' contensions even from the most hostile witnesses. Every sub sister—and we have with us the deeds of the corps—has been forced to give William H Lewis his due need of praise and the dispatches sent out from Providence to the great metropolitan dailies of Boston and New York have teamed with references to the great Lewis the grafty.

WASHINGTON IS MISSED First Conference Held Without Presence of Directing Genius, But Logan and Scott Worthy and Capable. PROGRAMS HAD NEW FEATURES But There Was No Change in the Purpose and Aims of the Conferences as Laid Down by Dr. Booker T. Washington—Many Notable Addresses, Including One on Pellagra by U.S. Expert Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—The twenty-fifth annual Farmers' Conference was held here on Wednesday, January 19. The session was remarkable for the fact that great numbers of the older people—farmers and their wives, preachers and other adults—were given their first real taste of school life, not only by having lectures, but by being sent from class to class, at given signals, sounded at regular intervals, just as for the younger students regularly enrolled in the institute. In addition to this, the regular features of the conference were exhibited. There were changes marked changes, but it could not have been otherwise. The greatest change came all lay in the fact that to New York siding genus and central whose pres all former conferences. Dr Washington, was absent, for all time, in his stead was another, Acting principal Warren Logan—faithful, loyal Warren Logan, gentle as a woman, true as steel, helping to break the bread of hope and encouragement for the colored men and women of the fields, as the late leader had done, but in Warren Logan's own way. And there was one who was in his acustomed place but whose very presence suggested the absent one. In the past to see Immett J. Scott was to see Dr Washington. On conference day, the secretary was always near his chief, eyes ears and hands for him ready to help him in any way mind and body at his disposal. At this conference Emmett J. Scott greatest and best known secretary that the Negro has produced, was in the same place cheerfully serve, behold, assist another chief as in the past. No friend has paid him, thus tar the colleague will pay him in the future a higher compliment than he is paying himself. His exhibited willin to serve another for the good of the cause the cause which must suit superior loss. Program Embraced New Features The program is to be held not because someone was asked to abandone the practice of partier, but because Dr. Washington lost suggestion relative to the conference was that the program should be handed to put into the meeting. But there was no change in the purpose and character of the conference. The conference committee composed of Clinton I. Callaway, barrman George R. Brinkworth, Monroe N. Work and John H. Washington members of the old guard had seen to it that these should remain the same. The conference was the same potent agency for reaching the colored people of the farm and countryside and helping them to solve the problem of their real lives, so that rural life may be better lit, more commerative and satisfying. This spirit of the conference is permanent, despite notable changes in other districts today. A dendritic and thoughtful crowd was present. Man of the delegates of former years were about because he felt that the conference would not be "conference without" Dr. Washington, other came to see what could be conference at it he were not present. But there were he to see of others who have been so materially helped by the conference that they came because they wanted for more aid and encouragement. In addition to those there were many cases from Alabama and the ading states. The hearty cooperation of white public school officials participated in the states of Alabama. Ten states and North Carolina had helped to the conference this year a number of patrons. New farmers who had never been present before. Morning Program. Instead of the usual parade and chapel exercises in the morning, the conference delegates were at school, beginning at 9 o'clock and ending at 12. The men were assembled at the Agricultural Building and the womn were taken to Dorothy Hall At each place six lectures, each of twenty-five minutes duration, had been prepared to explain the demonstrations at each place In the Agricultural Department, George R. Bridgeforth, director, Institute lecturers gave demonstrations in general farm practice and work, in trucking and canning, and in fruit growing. The different sections of conference delegates were then passed from these plant groups to the animal groups where demonstrations were given in the care of dairy cattle and the manufacture of dairy products, in selecting and teeding farm animals, and in diseases of animals and their treatment. These courses had already been given in part, to many of the farmers in the short course in agriculture just ended today A splendid corn and canned goods exhibit was made so that the visitors could see some of the possibilities of preparing their own foodstuffs. In Dorothy Hall, home of industries for girls and under the direction of Mrs Booker I. Washington, there had been prepared for the women lecturers and demonstrations in the old but ever new and interesting homely arts of the housewife. Familiar objects were transformed into useful and beautiful articles in the presence of the visitors. Shucks boxcotton, nature grasses were all worked into many articles in common use in the homes and on the farms. More than this, women were shown how to select cappuins and pictures and how to prepare well-balanced meals from country-grown foodstuff. Lab manners were discussed and the whole subject of proper domestic economy, so important so often neglected by the rural people, was covered, the convention being that the conference must reach and help correct the home life. At the close of these demonstrations dinner was served to the visitors as in the past the great tors of scats errrerrrerrr at the dinner of the dinner was a very imposing sight. Afternoon Session. In the afternoon the session was held in the chapel. Treasurer Logan had the school chorus sing some of their melodies, and then made preliminary remarks in which he reviewed carefully the history of the conference and the work and results which had been accomplished under the leadership of Dr Washington The first topic was 'How I managed to keep ahead of the boll weevil' J. W. Williams of Louisiana told the method followed in his study to out run the weevil, and showed that the raising of toolstuffs and the diversification of crops, as well as learning how to deal with the boll weevil, were the only methods of keeping ahead. T. W. Scales of Coatopa, Ma, was the star boll weevil speaker. He said he knew the boll weevil as well as a preacher knows his text. 'Prepar your the fall make good seed bud get the best cotton need to be had and such as will grow the toad to the plant. Then you must have all your own food and trust study the boll weevil because it takes sense to get ahead of him.' Mrs Cornelia Bowen, principal of Mt. Institute, Ala. made a stirring so am sure she outlined the plans and an imperfected to help the B.

Mrs J B Reid, a white woman, of Birmingham, was the next speaker. She pleaded for better homes for the colored women She won the sympathy of the audience, not only because of her kindness of words but because she was careful to say that she was interested in the children and the grandchildren of the colored people who had been slaves on her father's plantation. The audience appreciated this because usual the younger Negroes are excluded from the good-will Mr V L Hard processor of education in the North Africa, also made a splendid jobless.

"He being dead yet speaketh We would urge our farmers, in the words he used at our last conference, to raise their own food supplies at home. "Raise them in your gardens, on your farms, raise your own poultry, your own stock, and your own vegetables. In proportion as you do this you will have better homes, better churches and better racial relations." I follow this advice. Co-operate with all the agencies set in motion by the State and National Government to promote Crop Diversification, especially that which is being done through the Smith-Lever Agricultural Extension Work. We would record our grateful appreciation of the help our farmers are receiving from this source. Put the suggestions offered into practice. There are in the South hundreds of farms without cattle, poultry, grain or gardens. These farms are for the most part operated by tenants. In their behalf the Tuskegee Negro Conference respectfully request of the planters to urge upon Negro tenants to grow crops other than cotton, to have gardens, cows hogs and poultry and to raise their food supplies at home. These things will help to make the tenants more satisfied and less disposed to make every year. To the tenant farmer this conference says. Wherever possible endeavor to get your landlord to make a lease for a longer time than one year. Do without altogether or at least out in half the elevations you are now getting. Build up the land which you are renting. Keep the house and tenes in repair. Like good care of the tools, the mules and other livestock which are in your charge. In other words farm for your landlord just as though the farm be honored to you. To Secure Better Rural Credits. This conference recognizes that one of the difficulties in the way of farm improvement in the South is the lack of marketing facilities for crops other than cotton and a satisfactor system of rural credits. This Conference respectfully expresses the hope that some arrangement may be made by the National Congress or otherwise, whereby the farmers in the South, both white and black may be able to secure better credit both as to length of time beans may run and the amount of interest that shall be paid and that better marketing to sales may be provided. In closing this Conference wishes to express its appreciation for the growing interest which is being manifested by white people throughout the rural district of the South in Negro education. We are grateful for the help and cooperation we are receiving from State and const public school officials, from Mr Johns Rosemald and other persons in schoolhouse building and in other ways improving the condition of our schools in the rural district. We feel that a more sympathetic relationship is being promoted between the races as a result of this cooperation and help. It all tends to make our children more content to remain on the soil and aid in working out the new economic problems which have been brought to us by the European War and the Gothic Boll War. A set of resolutions were offered by Bishop George W. Clinton or North Carolina and adopted in memorial of the late Dr. Washington by a standing it and uplifted right hand. It was impressive in the extreme to see that silent group of old men and women stand with their hands uplifted in pledge of devotion to the work of the founder of the conference. Following the usual custom a number of prizes were distributed to persons who had made most progress in the short course in agriculture this year, after which the banishment was sung and the congrence closed. Turkegaee Workers' Conference. That only 147 white persons to the thou and die in American cities, while 251 Negroes per one thousand die annually in the same cities and that in rural communities 125 white persons to the thousand die annually as against 177 Negroes on the same areas were brought out and held up in all of their closets and morning significance to the Unseasonal Workers' Conference assembled in the Academy building on Thursday, January 20. But the dissension did not halt here. It had of course until it had traced this proportionate higher death rate of colored people, as compared with white to producing causes, and one of those main causes was shown to be the woo-tully interior housing of Negroes as compared with their white neighbors. the subject of the discussion The Better Housing of Negroes. The topic divided naturally into two parts: (a) urban housing conditions and rural housing conditions. Under the first was discussed (a) Housing conditions and the urban death rate for Negroes (a) some examples of what is being done to improve urban housing conditions, and (c) agencies which can assist in improving urban housing conditions. Under the second topic were considered (a) Housing conditions and the rural death rate of Negroes. (b) housing conditions and the rural labor supply, and (c) agencies which can assist in improving housing conditions. Purpose and Aims of Conference Vice-Principal Warren Logan called the meeting together at 10:30 o'clock and rededicated the purpose and aims of the Workers' Conference, made up, as it is of teachers in the various schools and other leaders who attend every year to hear and take part in the discussions relative to bettering conditions among colored people. Because of desire to have plenty of time for the two main addresses of the day, it was decided to discuss most of the topics assigned at once, instead of attempting to take them in regular order. Accordingly, the different speakers addressed themselves to the several topics as they came to their minds. Monroe N. Work head of the division of records and research at Laskeyer defined the purpose of the topic selected. He said that the Negro is working to own a place in the economic life of the country and that it he was to have a success in having it he must increase his economic efficiencies. must have better schools better homes must learn how to work properly and must have that which is at the bottom of all these—good health THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1918. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, president of Selma University, speaking of housing conditions as he had observed them both in Selma and in New York City, where he is and was, respectively engaged, in educational and pastoral work, declared that poor housing of the Negro has affected the health and morals of that race. He spoke of the hardships by which Negroes who desire good houses are not permitted to live in many desirable places, but are forced to live in the worst sections of the city, and he emphasized the tact that those colored people who do not care particularly, whether they live in good surroundings or not must be reached and taught the value of good houses. Got an Idea from Maj. Moton. The Rev. Mr. Hicks stated that he had caught an idea of a proper way to help change the housing conditions of colored people by listening, in the last Workers' Conference, to an address made by Major Motion on the work and methods of the Virginia Organization Society. Learning that this organization had succeeded in federating all the organizations of Virginia so that they could accomplish any good purpose for the uplift of the colored people that might be determined upon, he thought it would be a good idea to use it in his home town, Meridian, Miss. He did this and at the beginning of all the meetings of the organizations which have joined with him there are disused the Tour Ps. of health, he purses pure tool, pure water and pure urine. After M. Steward of the American Baptist Louisville Ks. told of the work of the Urban Leakage, which is working to better the housing conditions of that city. Their main purposes are to encourage the purchase of homes and to improve the home life of the colored people. Miss Reese a settlement worker from Bessmer. Ma not only gave a good plan for securing better rent houses for colored people in the cities, but made a plea for simple living that was very helpful. She told of a plan by which she helped persons to find good rent houses and then encouraged them to pay their rent promptly. Using this prompt payment as an inducement, she would then ask the landlords to put the houses in proper repair and would promise to help see that the rent was paid. Miss Alice White principal of the Girls Industrial School of Montgomery. Ma also made a plea for simplification in house-furnishing and she told how she continues to use box furniture in her home. Her address concerning the care of the home by the women as their base of the work was very pointed and useful in the highest measure. Convicting the House-Fly of Murder. The lecture which Dr W. L. Hinds, State ontologist gave on sanitation and particularly on the part which the unappealable plays in the death rate had the whole concern under a great debt to him. First of all Dr Hinds knows the truth and all of his impatiens and manners and Dr Hinds is a teacher born. Very few young or old people have ever had a man make a subject so plan as he did today, with aid of charts. He introduced his subject by quotations from the Bible and he gave two important these.

Himself an original authority, he spoke with the highest authority The cause of pellagra was given to be unbalanced diet—not what one cats, but what he has failed to eat, i.e. a sufficient quantity of milk, lean meat, peas, beans and legumes in general and eggs. With emphasis, Dr. Goldberger said that the disease is not at all communicable or "catching", it is curable if dealt with in time—100 per cent of all cases can be cured if treated in time, and it is preventable by proper dieting. The disease can be prevented by acting the proper quantities of the foods mentioned—the exact amounts have not been determined, one must simply eat plenty of them, and it can be cured by the same remedies—proper dieting on the same foods and he said that medicines have nothing to do with curing the disease. Women suffer more from the ravages of the disease than men because they usually give the men of the house the best foods and because they are essential in their diet not liking this and not liking that. He said also that it is known that the physiological constitution of women differs from men. Where the rich contract poliars it is due to the same fact as in the case of the poor they do not eat enough of the right food, although it is on their tables. Negroes, beause of their hardness for meat often are less frequently attacked, but there is not imminent or susceptibility due to race, race holding C pudding of Montgomery, closed the meeting by a review of conditions in Montgomery and I promising to go back home and begin a crusade for better housing.

Graves and Daniels appeared as their own attorneys. The defendants carried into the meeting chamber a trunk full of papers, documents, etc., and the plaintiffs were also amply fortified with albadavits, documents and numerous witnesses. Charged with Defiance of Orders. The evidence presented in support of charges tended to show that the defendants had exhibited disregard and distance of the orders and mandates of the sub-committee, it appearing that the district grand lodge officials had been ordered by the sub-committee to dissolve the merger of the endowment bureaus district grand lodge and the District grand Household of Ruth, to abolish the deputy system, to restore to full membership members who had been unlawfully suspended, not to engage in enterprises to foreign to the objects of the order and unwarranted by law, and to conduct the affairs of the district grand lodge in accordance with the laws, usages and customs of the order. As shown in the official bindings, the subcommittee returned a verdict of guilty as to District Grand Master Ingram and District Grand Secretary Davis dismissing the case as to others. This action was taken by a vote of the full committee of nine in executive session. Present were Edward H. Morris, Chicago grand master, Julius C. Johnson of Baltimore, deputy grand master James L. Needham, of Philadelphia grand secretary, W. David Brown of New York grand treasurer George H. Mace of Jacksonville grand director the Rev. P. Jones of Varsburgburg grand director the Rev. J.

The Effect of the Decision. The action of the su-committee in invoicing the charter of District Grand Lodge No. 18 is considered with interest and has arraigned considerable speculation. This a town demand the official mechanism of the Georgia organization and leaves to the members of the su-ordinate lodges of the state the task of restoring immortalized a district grand lodge in order that the en-mentment bureau with its thousands of policy holders, may not be remoralized as well as to take steps to protect the interest of the inducer members in the holdings of the order, which amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The adjustment of affairs must be in the hands of the Georgia lodges. The sub-committee cannot, it is said, rake any steps towards local control of Georgia matters except by petition from that state. But it is gotten by THE AGE from authoritative sources that at the next meeting of the Monthly Board in Philadelphia in March, which board is composed of the grand master, the grand secretary and the grand treasurer, petitions to that effect are more than apt to be presented. It is not thought that Davis and Ingram will submit to the action of the sub-committee without making a night. In fact, it was rumored in Philadelphia during the session of the committee that proceedings had been instituted in the courts of Atlanta to enjoin the sub-committee from enforcing its orders against Georgia organization. District Grand Secretary Davis, in the issue of the Atlanta Independent of January 22, published the following signed statement To the Order in Particular, and the Public in General. By the press and rumors it has been advertised that the District Grand Master and District Grand Secretary of District Grand Lodge No. 15 Grand United Order of Old Follows, America, Jurisdiction of Georgia have been suspended, and that the S C M had demanded the return of the District Grand Lodge Charter which in itself abolished our District Grand Lodge. And knowing the public is both entitled to and expects a statement from me I beg leave to say that not only are we required an official statement or nothe from the S C M, I am my brethren and the public to withhold their judgements until I shall have heard from the S C M and have an opportunity to state my case. FRAHMANN B J DAVIS District (Grand Secretary) Sol C Johnson, editor of the Savannah Irvine expresses himself in the Irvine, of January 22 to the effect that the decision of the sub-committee will be in Georgia no good. He insists in Georgia no good if the resultant harm is the opinion is ex- pressed by some thoughtful members of the order that the sub-subcommittee has not made any provision to safeguard the interests of the thousands of members of the subordinate lodges throughout the state, so far as their endowment policies are concerned. It is pointed out that while the collection of taxes are due the B. M. C. is provided for, the dismantling of the official machinery of the district grand lodge leaves no protection for the endowment policies of the member of subordinate lodges, since that a man has to be handled by the sub-subcommittee at all. On the other hand, the opinion of the opposition to the Ingram-Ivais administration is expressed by R. E. Phairow, at Atlanta, in a signed article appearing in the Atlanta Post, January 22, in which he declares that "an era of peace and good will is in sight for the craft for years to come."

A special correspondent of one of the great dailies, in writing about the famous Mohr murder trial which is being fought out in Providence, has the following to say: The defense of the Negroes is being made by two Negro lawyers, both able men, one a pure-blooded African and the other a mulatto. They are fighting to save clients of their own color. What happens to the white woman does not matter. Brown and Spellman must be saved, and so far in these first operations of the court machinery, Edwards and Lewis, the two Negro lawyers, show more intelligence than do the lawyers for Mrs. Mohr, the one-time shop girl and discarded wife of the rich physician who was slain. If there is any circumstance of life in which a man cannot "fake" or "bluff" or cover up deficiencies and ignorance, it is in the conduct of a law case, where he faces a judge, jury and alert opponents; so here is more testimony against the ancient charge of Negro inferiority. And it is the best kind of testimony, that of an unwilling witness. THAT LAST LAUGH. The following letter from a correspondent in Philadelphia to the New York Sun is well worth being reproduced: To the Editor of the Sun In his now famous speech at Indianapolis last January President Wilson after proposing to let Mexico go about her own business in her own way, said . "With all due respect to editors of great newspapers, I have to say to them that I never take my opinion of the American people from their editorials." So that when some great dailies not very far from where I am temporarily residing thundered with rusing scorn at 'watchful waiting' Woodrow sat back in his chair and chuckled, knowing that "he laughs best who laughs fast." Doubtless he finds this last joke of Villa's also a "source of innocent merriment." CASSIUS E. GILLETTE. Philadelphia, January 19. The non-humorous, in fact, solemn question before the people of the United States is, "Does the murder of a score of American citizens in Mexico constitute the 'last laugh' that is to be raised by 'watchful waiting'?" A NEW POPULAR (?) SONG A popular song which has recently been placed on the market and which is being greatly boosted has the following lengthy, but alliterative title: "I think We've Got Another Washington and Wilson in His Name." We have no hesitation in saying that the composer and singers of this song have another think coming. It looks as though it's going to take Taft and Wilson together to fill out the two terms generally allotted to one President. THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1916. VIEWS AND REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR. THE WAGES OF SIN. "Lumbeth City, North Carolina, W. O. Saunders,endent," a weekly newspaper. We do not have saunders, but this much we do know, he is a paper is indeed independent. Formerly we Mr. Saunder's editorials regarding the race question we find occasion to do so again. It issue of "The Independent" contains a teness of wildness, called forth by the lynching of seedy, Georgia, a few weeks ago. We should include a whole article, but its length prevents; however, aagraph which contains a truth as eternal as words ever written: "And when I think of the price the white race must pay for its sins against colored peoples. The day of it, it must come, and it may be nearer at hand, seeing suspect. Is the eternal truth contained in these words? Power will some day visit fire or flood on communities which commit these sins against the race, for that would be to put faith in mere colored people will some day turn and wreak persecutors? That is not probable. The length and physical and moral courage and art. This he has proved in feats of endurance the prize ring to the battle field, and by acts. Only a few months ago the whole country, the deed of a one-arm Negro chair-pusher, the thousands of white men stood fear-striking to the piteous cries for help from a was drowning out beyond the breakers, this threw off his coat, plunged in and brought either cowardice or fear restrains the Negro differently; it is his natural kindliness of soul that restrains him from using his strength, cruel vengeance and make bloody reprisals,oved with more heart and soul than the white other chapter, one which we may write at and once the white race must some day pay for its people will not be through any supernatural or through bloody vengeance and reprisals,in this country, how then will it be paid? The operation of moral law. That may sound to readers, but it means the most terrible moment possible. Moral law works gradually, but its results are of physical or chemical laws. If you step by step expectations you might have of going up are sure not to be realized. It is certain that will work. It will do so a million time will never fail. Just so with the moral of Georgia or any other state persist in prais, cruelty, dishonor, savagery and depravity their midst, they themselves will become moral, dishonorable, savage and depraved; the war civilization will crumble under them; the men whom they sin against; there is no escape might may strike some reader that this offer whose who are now being made the victims of stress. That is very true; but universal law is about individuals; it works only toward greater, we do not believe that the white people of every are going on indefinitely increasing this, which they have created they are paying and must it is canceled, but we are firm in the faith that will throughout this entire land, even in Georgia. It not sure that the truth we have endeavored, Saunder's words coincides with what he had in his article. A part of his article intimates that come when the colored peoples of the war of the whites, will rise up in arms, this must be the thought to the clash of races in the South. In again to express our admiration for Mr. Saunder's southern state and openly publishes his book, the sins of the people amongst whom he lives that this takes real courage, he knows nothing but, much credit is due to North Carolina; now Mr Saunders that there are many communities that be allowed to print such articles as he some the Independent." In Elizabeth City North Carolina, W. O. Saunders publishes "The Independent," a weekly newspaper. We do not know much about Mr. Saunders, but this much we do know, he is a courageous man and his paper is indeed independent. Formerly we have commented on Mr. Saunder's editorials regarding the race question in this country, and we find occasion to do so again. A recent issue of "The Independent" contains a terrible denunciation of lawlessness, called forth by the lynching of seven Negroes near Blakeley, Georgia, a few weeks ago. We should like to reproduce the whole article, but its length prevents; however, we point out one paragraph which contains a truth as eternal as is contained by any words ever written: I shudder when I think of the price the white race must some day pay for its sins against colored peoples. The day of reckoning is coming, it must come, and it may be nearer at hand than the more far seeing suspect. What is the eternal truth contained in these words? Is it that a Supreme Power will some day visit fire or flood or earthquake upon the communities which commit these sins against colored people? To look for that would be to put faith in mere superstition. Is it that the colored people will some day turn and wreak vengeance upon their persecutors? That is not probable. The Negro has physical strength and physical and moral courage and he is not afraid to die. This he has proved in feats of endurance, in fights pitted from the prize ring to the battle field, and by acts of the highest heroism. Only a few months ago the whole country was thrilled by the heroic deed of a one-arm Negro chair-pusher at Atlantic City. While thousands of white men stood fear-stricken on the board walk listening to the piteous cries for help from a young white woman who was drowning out beyond the breakers, this Negro with but one arm threw off his coat, plunged in and brought her safely to shore. Neither cowardice or fear restrains the Negro, it is something entirely different; it is his natural kindness of heart and nobility of soul that restrains him from using his strength and courage to wreak cruel vengeance and make bloody reprisals. The Negro is endowed with more heart and soul than the white man—but that is another chapter, one which we may write at another time. If the price the white race must some day pay for its sins against colored people will not be through any supernaturally directed catastrophe or through bloody vengeance and reprisals on the part of Negroes in this country, how then will it be paid? It will come through the operation of moral law. That may sound rather tame to a number of readers, but it means the most terrible and relentless punishment possible. The moral law works gradually, but its results are as inevitable as the results of physical or chemical laws. If you step off a high building, any expectations you might have of going up rather than falling down are sure not to be realized. It is certain that the law of gravitation will work. It will do so a million times out of a million. It will never fail. Just so with the moral law. If the white people of Georgia or any other state persist in practicing acts of lawlessness, cruelty, dishonor, savagery and depravity upon the Negroes in their midst, they themselves will become more and more lawless, cruel, dishonorable, savage and depraved; the very foundations of their civilization will crumble under them; they will sink beneath those whom they sin against; there is no escape. The thought may strike some reader that this offers poor consolation to those who are now being made the victims of oppression and lawlessness. That is very true; but universal law is very little concerned about individuals; it works only toward great ends. However, we do not believe that the white people of any section of this country are going on indefinitely increasing this debt of sin. The debt which they have created they are paying and must continue to pay until it is canceled, but we are firm in the faith that justice will finally prevail throughout this entire land, even in Georgia. We are not sure that the truth we have endeavored to interpret from Mr Saunder's words coincides with what he had in mind when he wrote his article. A part of his article intimates that he fears the day wall come when the colored peoples of the world, goaded by the acts of the whites, will rise up in arms, this may happen. We have limited the thought to the clash of races in this country, especially in the South We wish again to express our admiration for Mr Saunders. He lives in a Southern state and openly publishes his brave, strong words against the sins of the people amongst whom he lives. If anybody doubts that this takes real courage, he knows nothing about the question. But, much credit is due to North Carolina; nobody knows better than Mr Saunders that there are many communities in which he would not be allowed to print such articles as he sometimes publishes in "The Independent."

Now comes the news of a mob in the same state hanging five Negroes who were suspected of implication in the murder of a Sheriff. The mob of forty or fifty men, as in the Frank lynching, did its work with the aid of automobiles. The automobile is finding uses in Georgia which might justify manufacturers in designing and advertising especially for that state a "lynching car." Some of the features of such a car might be a noiseless engine, tires adapted to deep clay or sandy roads, each car fitted with an adjustable, steel limb guaranteed to sustain the weight of from one to six Negroes—this latter feature would save the necessity of hunting up suitable trees. If room for more than six "lynchees" were required, several cars could be used. Of course, any clever inventor could think of a dozen other useful accessories. When the lynching epidemic broke out in Georgia some months ago, in several articles on the Empire State of the South, we about exhausted our vocabulary of protest; in order to avoid an ante-climax we can now only ask a few questions. Can the law-abiding element in Georgia continue to look with complacency upon the record which the mob element is making for the state? If the law-abiding element is not strong enough in numbers to rise up and crush out this sort of lawlessness, is it not strong enough in moral courage to speak out against it? Is this action of the mob Georgia's answer to the resolution condemning lynching adopted a week ago by the University Commission on Southern Race Questions which met at the University of North Carolina? Committing and allowing to be committed such lawless deeds as have taken place within the past twelve months, wherein lies the real superiority of Georgia over Mexico? The only salvation for Georgia, both as to its internal welfare and its outside reputation lies in the hands of the law-abiding and aw-loving element of its white citizens. That there is such an element we know, and that its moral courage as well as its conscience is being aroused we are hopeful. But it must act, and it must act quickly and effectively. Even if it does not care to act to save the Negro especially, it must do so to save the state and save itself. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY To the Editor of the Age I want to congratulate you upon being the editor of the cleanest and best Negro newspaper in this country. I wish for you and the New York Age a happy and successful New Year. Very truly yours, J. B. C. MacGreeco, General-Secretary Y. M C. A. Buxton, Iowa. Jan. 6—16. Beyond question or doubt The Age is the best paper in the country to-day. You can always find a copy of The Age on my desk in this church where I am sexton and caterer and some of the most distinguished lawyers and bankers often read it and tell me they did not know the Negro race published and such logical matter. I must tell you the fact. It is too good to keep from you. VAN BUREN POWELL. Newark, N. J. From Wm. Anthony Aery. Dear Mr. Moore: Personally, as well as on behalf of Hampton Institute, I wish to thank you for your loyal and unfalling cooperation in spreading Hampton's message. You have made possible the telling of a story which brings new life and fresh hope to those who appreciate the meaning of a larger and better life. A Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. I wish you to know that I am very glad, indeed, to cooperate with you. WM. ANTHONY AERY. Hampton, Va. Speaking of the "deadly parallel" a group of men were discussing Roosevelt and Wilson the other day. "Now Roosevelt," said one man, "is a man of action—a powerful constructive leader, while Wilson is a man of words, the theories and high-sounding phrases." "He" replied the Thoughtful Bystander, "just like Booker Washington and DuBois." A READER. SOME COMPARISONS. To the Editor of the Age Base only withers at another's joy. Vid hates that excellence it cannot reach —THOMSON In the last paragraph of an editorial notice of the death of Booker T. Washington in The Guardian issued November 20, 1915, is to be found the following language: "The leading part which the Guardian and its editor took for years in opposition to Dr. Washington's title inside of the school work are too well known to be repeated now that he is dead. Nor in this hour of grief for his family and admirers appropriate time for adverse criticism. The controversy may well subside on both sides. This is the time for the race to unite in defense of its rights in the slides. De Mortuisil pall Bonum." Now let us turn to another picture, in the December Crisis there also appears an editorial on the life and career of Dr. Washington. Towards the end of the article the following uncharitable language occurs: On the other hand, he just justice on this man a heavy responsibility for the consummation of Negro disfranchisement, the decline of the Negro college and public school, and the firmer establishment of color caste in the land" of the two men James M. Trotter and Ivan O'Neill had the slightest prosecution for displaying a narrow and bitter spirit, when a great pull was overshadowing the land on account of the death of Booker T. Washington, it was the former and not the later, as everyone knows who is acquainted with current history. On the contrary however, the words of Mr. O'Neill are arrogant and vehement, a most commendable spirit, while the language of Dr. DuBois is little, prompted by an envious, selfish spirit, and an unbalanced judgment "A sound heart is the life of the flesh, the envy the rottenness of the bones." Dr. DuBols against Mr. Washington is true. I am let him bear the mark of the odium and charge. But it is true. Some of us who are acquainted with Dr. Washington have believed that not a few of Dr. Washington's critics are biased because of their ignorance, or on account of being misinformed. But not so in the case of Dr. DuBols. For it is a matter of public record that when the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Illinois in the legislatures assembled, had before them bills to disfranchise their Negro citizens in these respective states, at different times, Dr. Washington wrote and had published open letters to the members of the Legislature of each State, protesting against the use of the bill to this effect, as in other similar cases of legal wrong here in the South, might prevailed over right At the same time some of these open letters were being published in the Atlanta Constitution, Dr. DuLois was connected with the Atlanta University and doubtless read one of them, and with both knowledge in his possession, he is on cowardly, malicious and envious to do justice and speak the truth at the grave of the man, "the hatchet of whose shoes he was unworthy to unloosen" in his life-time, of but one man in this wide country who would be a fit companion and bedfellow for Dr. DuLois, and that is Mr. Clarence Poe of North Car- olina, who, in charging Dr. Washington last summer as being a dictator, says. "We repeat that Booker Washington is a shrewd leader. He has managed most skillfully to present the side of the picture to the white people and the other side to Negroes." But he may go too far with his new program announced a year ago, when he declared that it is time for Negroes to inaugurate everywhere an aggressive and constructive progressive policy. When he begins to glory in the failure of the Southern whites to stick together, suggesting that Negroes in some sections get land easier than the whites, and begins to propose that Negroes shall dictate to white people as to what kind of plays they shall see, may find themselves Popeyes. But he won't do strong for some of the people he has heretofore managed to keep lined up behind him." Now, here are the twins. Behold them, and see what manner of men they are! This is a big world and it is not envious of the man who would succeed over the dead body of his supposed adversary, and offer the better ways to success. The spirit of the times is to live and let live. "Hitter is a handful with quietness than both hands full with travail and vexation of spirit" CHARLES H MOORE. Greenhous, N. C. About Tuskegee's Endowment. The modest amount asked for by the Trustees of Tuskegee from the colored people to assist in endowing that institution with two million dollars should be raised forthwith. A million colored people giving twenty-five cents per person would be for buckering and personalities to cease. No man has lived and died without someone dicering with him on the main things of his life's work. All who dicered with him were not soundrels. Tuskegee is a monument to Negro intemperance. Tuskegee is one of the indispensable institutions for the race. In giving to it we are building wisely for future generations. The gift to it will make it easier for institutions of the South to fulfill its mission for Washington wrought well while he lived and in his death the country suffered a great loss, but if his death will permanently endow the school for which he will be almost as powerful as his life. Under the guiding hand of Major Moton we hope for great things in Tuskegee, but to realize it he must have the hearty co-operation of his fellow men of all races and educational backgrounds, and the adherents of higher and industrial education should cease. Instead of fighting about these, let us get their in such a way that we can be felicous unity in things of uplift is imperative. As a race we cannot afford to disparage the accomplishments of our race and the triumph of triumphalism. Both have their places and neither should be antagonistic one to the other. The men who should represent Tuskegee in different states should be such as to do credit to her intelligence and moral standing. Their ability to speak to all races should be equal. The day of empty oratorical flights has given way to cogent reasons backed up by indisputable proofs. Business men are busy and desire to know things in a concise way and in the fewest words possible. Major Moton is known for his inventive things attractively set forcefully. With men of his caliber in the field, Tuskegee's endowment must come. Any man that opposes this endowment is opposing the best interest of humanity in America. The efforts of all the men and there should meet a most hearty and enthusiastic form of color everywhere. We hold this fund will soon come. Rochester, N. Y. African Methodism in Jamaica, B. W. I. To the Editor of THE AGE The African Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in the island of Jamaica, B. W. I. August 1914, under peculiar circumstances by the Rev Alfonso Dumar, B.D. For three years preceding this date, four ministers not connected with any religious denomination of Jamaica had united, together with their small band of followers, and by letter had requested Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. M. E. Zion Church to acknowledge them as members of that denomination. This he did, but at no time in three years did he visit Jamaica to ratify the connection of these four ministers and their followers with the A. M. E. Zion Church. By invitation the writer visited them and their churches, conferred with them, and after some months of preliminary work, met them in a body in the city of Kingston, drew up articles of incorporation in the name of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, read them over to the four ministers and explained to them the law and polity of the A. M. E. Church, and requested if they desired to be connected with this body they should each sign the Articles of Incorporation. This they did. And the writer, being an African Methodist Episcopal Elder in the United States of North America, filed these articles of incorporation with the Registrar General of Jamaica, under the law of corporations of this island. This at once gave the new-born African Methodist Episcopal Church a legal standing in Jamaica, and thus we became a recognized religious denomination under His Most Gracious Sovereign Lord, King George the Fifth's, government. Then the writer began to communicate with that princely Secretary of Missions for the A. M. E. Church, the Rev. J. W. Rankin, D.D., asking that he se- cure the service of a bishop to visit Jamaica with him to see what we had to offer the great A. M. E. Church body. In due time he, with Bishop Hurst, visited this island in January, 1915, and were the first general officers of the demission so to do. Their visit was indeed a history-making period for us, especially it being the first time a Negro bishop ever put foot on Jamaica soil, and both gentlemen made a splendid and lasting impression here. Our little band of five ministers and two thousand members received new inspiration, and are determined to make Allen's great church a recognized force for good in this land of eternal sunshine. Some years ago, I am told, the missionary department of our church spent several hundred dollars for work in this island, but to-day no trace of it can be found. The writer has placed the church here on such a solid, practical, business basis that the work can and will last throughout time. There are five ordained elders, two thousand members, ten church buildings with a total valuation of $8,000; and only a few weeks ago the Rev. J. W. Rankin, D.D, advanced us $350 to buy a church lot in the "Athens" of Jamaica, Kingston, the capital, where I am now preparing to lay the cornerstone of Allen Temple A. M. E. Church. We are trying to inspire the people to become self-helpful and to this end have organized a card system by which the members and friends are raising the necessary amount to lay the concrete foundation for a new church before asking for more. Amwet tome. To raise $100, to us, is a mighty task when one understands the economic conditions of our island home, the living wage of the laboring classes being very small indeed. The writer has many things to say in his next article pertaining to this island and the real necessity for the existence of the A. M. E. Church and what it means to the people. But before closing this first chapter, I must say I am very hopeful of our work here and believe we will be able to present to the General Conference next year over five thousand members and $15,000 worth of church property practically free from debt. We ask the united prayers of the church for this new work. ALPONSO DUMAR 75 Beeston street, Kingston, Jamaica. B. W I The Free Vote Policy of the M. E. Church. To the Editor of The Age In 1892 the general conference saluted the service and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of every kindred, tribe and tongue are equally entitled to all its rights and privileges, the race or nationality of bishops is not a proper subject for legislation, but must be decided by the members of the responsibility of electing bishops. "According to the above quotation, radically speaking, being elected bishops in the M. E. Church is the right and privilege of all its members, and saluted elections are to be secured by the respective members of the members of the general conference, and not by any legislation of any kind. Six general conferences have passed since that utterance was made, twenty-six white ministers have been elected bishops by said free ote" and at the general conference of 1888 that the colored ministers first began to agitate the necessity, right and privilege of their being elected bishops, which agitation was kept up from then till 1882 when the general conference answered that 1886 the general conference spoke on the subject again, saying, "We believe the time has come when the general conference may begin to hear of a new kind of bishop, from among our" seventeen hundred ministers of African descent. In the past, the bishop passed "And we recognize the necessity of such an officer among the people of African descent." Still the "free vote" policy miscarries the purpose of the church and keeps the colored ministers out of their rights as guaranteed by the church. The church is not an officer among the people of African descent" shows that the church is beginning to reverse itself on the "free vote" policy, and we begin to hear of a new way of electing bishops, and we begin to hear of a new kind of bishop. What the general conference of 1892 said was not subject of legislation of free vote is being overt and amendments begin to appear. The constitution was amended sufficiently to secure missionary bishops, but not enough to secure the election of any colored ministers to the episcopate, and not enough to up to the general conference of 1916, which if adopted will grant the colored ministers only the half of what the general conference of 1892 said was right, and the other half of thements fall to pains, what then should we do? Remembering the failure of the "free vote" policy, and the failure of the amendment policy, what should we do, secede. No, never, secede. The constitution has already too much secession in it. Secession is always done in an ill spirit, which perpetuates itself. Socession never cures its lills, and is therefore wrong. Our seceding because of wrong opinion us will be wrong because of wrong behavior we will wrongs never make one right, but increase wrong. Will we ever secure what the general conference of 1892 said was our rights. We do not know, but we do know it would disgrace our church for three hundred or more years. We will not cause of deprived of their rights. Will we ever get our rights? We will get them gradually as we have been getting them in both Church and State. Our going out will never help secure for the church what it so much needs. We will not cause the theoretical brotherhood, which it is our duty to help bring about as well as it is any one else's We must eradicate the idea that colored people are simply with white people for self-help Will we we overcome our rights in the church? Yes, we will. We will see we the Supreme Court of Georgia and the Supreme Court of the United States respectively annualling a state segregation law and a state grandfather clause, we naturally look for the Methouist Episcopal Church to do what it said was the right of all its members in 1892 SYLVESTER H.

JASPER TAPPAN PHILLIPS Nashville, Tennessee ton school of Negroes is brought out clearly in the comment of "The Crisis" on the death of Booker T. Washington. In newspapers edited by white men, whether in the North or in the South, praise for Washington was given without stint, but "The Crisis," published in New York by the National Association of Colored People and edited by Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBois, points out W. E. Burghardt's "mistakes and shortcomings in the development of achievements, alleging that he "never adequately grasped the growing bond of politics and industry," that he "did not understand the deeper foundations of human training," that "his basis of better understanding between white and black was founded on caste," and that "in stern justice," in his own must be laid "a heavy responsibility for the consummation of Negro disfranchisement, the decline of the Negro population, the firm establishment of color caste." In justice to both DuBois and Washington it should be added that "The Crisis" admits that Washington was the greatest Negro leader since Frederick Douglas, and "the most distinguished man, white or black, who has come out of the South since the Civil War" and "did much to pave the way for an understanding between the white and the darker races," but it does not mention the races at apportion of the Washington polity of what the DuBois school regards as compromise and nonresistance of fawning on the whites. Evidently it will be necessary for the Negroes to come to some sort of an understanding among themselves before they can fairly expect the whites to come to any perfect understanding with them. If such a man as Washington to be charged with disfranchising black men in the South, as DuBois charges him, or worse still, as being "ever concerned for his own sellah ambitions" and "indifferent to the cries of the race, as long as he winn's the approval of white men"—the quotation being from the 1908 files of the Boston Guardian, a Negro publication of the Times, Monroe Trott—how are white men expected to rally with enthusiasm around the cause of justice for the Negro? With all due respect to both Dr. Duffols and Mr. Trotter, they will be in luck indeed, if when the time comes for writing their obituaries, it can be said of them that they did half as much for either the Negro or the human race in general as was done by Booker T. Washington. In the inter- their own kind one of the first things they ought to make minds to do in to refrain from boltting the efforts of such men as Washington and from him to learn much needed lessons in patience, forbearance and tact.

SECOND SPINGARN MEDAL TO BE AWARDED At a mass meeting to be held in Tremont Temple, Boston, on February 22, the second Spinning Medal will be presented by Governor McCall to the Negro selected as having made the most distinguished achievement during the preceding twelve months. The Spingarn Medal, the gift of Dr. J. E. Spingarn, of New York, formerly professor of comparative literature in Columbia University, and chairman of the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P., is a gold medal of the value of $100, and is awarded annually to the American Negro who has rendered the most distinguished service during the year in any field of honorable or elevated endeavor. The committee of awarded members of two Northwestern white men, ex-President William H. Taft and Oswald Garrison Villard; a Southern white man, Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Slater Fund, and two colored men, Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, and President John Hope of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. The first medal was awarded last year to Dr. Edward E. Just, professor in the Howard University Medical School, for distinguished work in biological research. The recipient of the second medal will not be announced until Governor McCall presents it to him in Treston Temple on Washington's Birthday. SECOND FIRE IN THREE MONTHS AT PA. SCHOOL PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The Rey William Credit, head of the Downingtown Industrial School, a mile from Downingtown, Pa., believes the $25,000 fire which on Friday, January 21, destroyed two buildings there, was purely accidental. A committee questioned each boy in the school, but all professed ignorance of the cause of the blaze. It is believed, however, that either boys kindled a small fire in the basement to get warm, or that plumbers who had been working there accidentally started the blaze. The fire was discovered in the basement of Pennsylvania Hall, a four-story building, which contains the boys' dormitories, offices and industrial shops. There had been no fire in the heater since last Saturday, as repairs were being made to the boiler. The boys had been using their rooms only at night. There were only nine or ten lads in the building when the fire was discovered. The fire drill proved its merits. The boss ran downstairs, carried out the wife of a teacher and her four children, then fell into line and torned a bucket brigade. They saved a number of typewriters and office furniture. Two thousand books were destroyed. The other building burned was lord Hall. Three months ago there was a fire at the school which resulted in a loss of $10,000 to $11,000. The cause was not learned LOUISVILLE YOUTH PERFORMS HEROIC ACT Ky - Monzo Allen, a Negro youth 17 years old, is a hero. He saved Gilbert Hume, a young white boy, from drowning, and made a desperate though ineffectual effort to save two other boys. Hume and a number of other white boys were skating on a pond in the East End called Death Pit when the ice broke with them. Alonzo Allen was passing along an embankment fifty feet away and saw the catastrophe. At the risk of his own life he slid down the occupied embankment snatching up a piece of broken tree limb. With the limb he ventured out on the ice and succeeded in rescuing Hume Woerner and Erdlinger, the other two boys, could not be reached, although when other would-be rescuers reached the scene he was trying hard to do so. Owen Gathright, a prominent white citizen, is heading a movement to provide a substantial fund for Allen, who is so poor that he had to stop school and go to work to help support his mother and two younger brothers. LOUISVILLE NEWS AGAIN CHANGES HANDS Louisville, KY - The Louisville Vets lately edited by Roscoe C. Simmons, has again changed hands, a stock company composed of Louisville men taking over the business and Lee L. Brown, a former editor, returning to the editorial chair as Mr. Simmons' successor. William Warley, who financed the Vets when it was first started, is not connected with the new company, except in an advisory capacity. SOUTHERN PAPERS ON GEORGIA LYNCHINGS The subpoenaed articles are editorors which appeared in two Southern white dailies, and give an idea of the opinion held by Southern white editors on lynch- ing. THE LYNCHING MANIA. Affairs in the section between Worth and Lee counties from the standpoint of law and order appear to be in pretty bad shape. To take half a dozen Negroes out of jail at one swoop for the strictly evident purpose of summary execution without trial—and not for the usual crime"—cannot be in this specific case, but for a getting together of all of us to stop this business of private citizens taking the functions of organized procedure into their own hands merely because of a desire for quick action. Civilization is built on laws and their processes and every time Negroes do the foundations of our civilization. Most everybody expects a certain amount of lynching in the South—for "the usual crime"—but we Georgians are getting drunk on it. Our condition is becoming genuinely serious and we need some expert ammonials, not just lynching, to take action at home, else we must be complacent enough outside excoriation. Something must be done to impress upon the individual private citizen his responsibility for having things done in the regular way. It is not any particular offense we have in mind now, but the general condition which is in charge of the day each year. The subject must be attacked from that angle solely to be handled intelligently and effectively, although just what modus operandi is preferable doesn't by any means divulge itself on cursory consideration. LYNCH LAW AGAIN. (From Norfolk (Va.) Ledger Dispatch) Most regrettable is the action of the Governing Council, which has been from the Worth county jail and hanged them side by side to the limb of a tree, winding up by filling the swinging bodies full of bullets. The crime with which the prisoners were charged was the killing of the sheriff of the county during the Christmas holidays. According to the dispatches from Georgia, there was no positive evidence as to which of them was guilty of the crime against whom there was direct evidence was not secured by the mob, having been removed to some unknown place before the attack upon the jail. This is the second shocking occurrence in Georgia, within a comparatively short space of time. These things not only injure the State where they occur, but do the whole South incalculate to the extent of the case. But far worse is the practical certainty that innocent persons have suffered. Georgia should bestir herself and wipe out these stains. These mobs should be hunted down and punishment inflicted which would deter in turn themselves persons from constituting themselves, judge, jury and executioner. Kay-Otey Nuptials RALEIGH, N C.-One of the most beautiful weddings that Raleigh has ever witnessed was solemnized Wednesday evening, December 29, at St Ambrose P. E. Church.

HUNTER THE NEW YORK AGE. HELEN HAGAN, PIANISTE. (BY LUCIEN H. WHITE) Seldom has an artist of the race with which we are connected come to New York with more flattering credentials than those presented by Helen Hagan of New Haven, Conn., at present teaching in Cambridge, Mass. This young woman is a Pianist, and announcements of her appearance told of her winning the degree of Mus B. from the Department of Music at Yale University in 1912; at the same time she was awarded - the Samuel Simons Sandford Fellowship, which provided for advanced study in a foreign land, which, in her case, resolved into a course at the Schola Cantorum, A. MISS HELEN HAGAN Paris, France In 1914 this Paris conservatory awarded her a diploma. She was under the instruction of Blanche Silva, piano pedagogue, and Vincent D'Indy, the eminent French composer. Returning from Paris in 1914, this young woman, for she is only recently out of her teens, made a tour of the States, and her piano playing created a furore wherever she was heard. So far as I can learn, she had never made an appearance in Manhattan, though some six years ago, I think, she was on a program in Brooklyn. So it was that her appearance at the Music School Settlement, 4-6 West 131st street, of which J. Rosamond Johnson, himself an eminent composer and musician, is supervisor, attracted much attention from Greater New York's musical element. She made her debut at this place on the evening of Thursday, January 20, to an assemblage that filled every available nook and corner of the three rooms and hallway on the first floor; besides, many of the auditors tried to find places on the stairs. Probably a third of the audience could not see the performer at all, and it was a wonderful tribute to her that they sat quietly and gave all their faculty of hearing to her interpretation of the elaborate program. Most folks go to concerts to see and be seen as well as to hear, and in some cases it appears they go to be heard. But to a remarkable degree was the Hagan recital audience composed of people who came to hear, and to hear with understanding. From the first appealing note of Beethoven's Sonata Appassionata to the dying away of the last sprightly flashing sound of the Chopin waltz which she gave at the end of the program as an encore to the Chopin Sohero in B that minor, not a sound could be heard save the melody which came forth in response to the magic touch of her tingers on the keyboard The foundation of her technique was laid. I am told, by Stanley Knight, of the Yale Conservatory, and well has she built upon that foundation. The most difficult passages were taken with ease, in fact, the absence of any apparent effort in execution was deceptive. This great technical equipment made it possible for her to give her entire mentality to the interpretation of the works of the masters, and to this task she brought a mind cultivated and trained, a spirituality impregnated with divine conception, and a personality charming and prepossessing. Her program, which was published in full in this paper last week, included works of Beethoven, Schumann, Liszt, Godard, Mendelssohn, Chopin, and our own S. Coleridge-Taylor. It was a program calling for a many-sided interpretation. And it was in this particular that Miss Hagan proved her virtuosity, her versatility and her artistic catholicity. Whether it was Listt's ponderosity, Chopin's sprightness, Beethoven's imaginativeness, Mendelssohn's sentimentality, or Coleridge-Taylor's heart-searching, Miss Hagan brought to each just the spirit and the understanding needed to translate to her hearers the music's message. I have not heard as yet any rendition of the Coleridge-Taylor's Transcriptions which measures up to that given by this young woman. The Spirit of the Race is embodied in these songs and beneath all the elaboration which the musically adapter has given to them, that spirit is constantly striving to be heard. The imaginative player will skip through the music, satisfied if mechanical perfection DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS is attained, if there are no skipped notes, if there is no hiatus in the chromatic runs. But Miss Hagan, with her physical equipment, had not to worry about those things. Perhaps in her inner consciousness she was become the interpreter for an ancient ancestress, striving to send from the Stygan shade some conception of the sorrows of soul which found expression only through the medium of emotional song. To all the compositions rendered she brought understanding and breadth of comprehension, but the number which embraced the Coleridge-Taylor Transcriptions was a revelation and a delight to me. Supporting the visiting artiste on the program were Miss Reba Fairfax, soprano, and J Rosamond Johnson, bassocantante, with Miss Ethel Richardson, herself a concert pianiste of parts, as accompanist. And, by the way, it was a most graceful act on the part of Miss Richardson to serve as accompanist. It is not often we find concert pianists subordinating their personality to that extent on a concert program. Miss Richardson's affable graciousness is evidently as great as her distinguished ability as a musician. It was my first opportunity to hear Miss Fairfax, who enjoys quite a reputation as a soloist Modest and retiring, she does not thrust herself into the limelight, and so her talent has not, perhaps, given her the vogue enjoyed by some singers with much less vocal equipment She sang two groups of songs, and was compelled to respond to an encore for the first group For some reason, Miss Fairfax appeared to be excessively nervous, and while this affected her rendition, it did not destroy the beauty of tone nor impair the technical mish of her singing. Nervous strain is a great handscap to anybody, and especially is this true of an artist. I understand that in the case of Miss Fairfax the strain under which she was laboring caused her to be prostrated the next day. I enjoyed her singing. She has had much training of the right sort, and I have no doubt but that she will take much higher rank in the musical world than at present J. Rosamond Johnson sang, it appeared to me, under the handicap of a slight hoarseness, but his mastery of the art of singing, coupled with a high order of interpretative ability, made his renditions a delightful pleasure. Especially noteworthy was his singing of Goetz's "Melisande in the Wood," while his own composition, "The Awakening," and Burleigh's "Just You" were app very much. It is a fine work Mr. Johnson is doing at the Music School Settlement, and there are few factors in the music life of this city more potent than these artist recitals and the Sunday afternoon lecture-recitals given at this school. That they are largely patronized shows that the people realize their value and appreciate the opportunity HILLIARD LAUDS CRITIC. Robert Hillard the actor who is the talk of New York in his new play, *The Probe of Race* which is being shown at Maxine Hill's Theatre, called at Jim's office Saturday to personally thank the dramatic editor of *Tim Neq* for the criticism of the play which appeared in last week's issue of *Tigre Age*. Mr Walton said that he of *Tim Neq* will be writing that he would write a better personally thanking the dramatic editor for the criticism, which he thought the best written by any dramatic writer in New York on the play. "MAMMY" A BIG HIT. The assertion is being made by prominent musicians that "Mammys, the latest song hit is the big American Negro song. Colored and white singers are loud in their praise of the number. Among those to declare 'Mammys' a great number is Roland W Haves, the race's foremost tenor solist, who wrote to Jack Von Tulzer, manager of the Empire Music Compan, which is publishing the song as follows Dear Mr Von Tulzer, Your song came in K Mans, many years ago when it last night it concert where a good-sized crowd of both white and colored people gathered, and it took like wild fire, so voiceless was the applause that I had to repeat it the second time. It is truly a very beautiful song which does not fall in its appeal. I shall use it on all my programs Very truly yours, "Mammy" is also being used by Herbert L. Clarke, cornet soloist, in the Sousa Band, which is playing at the Hippodrome The words to "Mammy" were written by Lester A. Walton and the music by Will Marion Cook.

BIG LAUGHING HIT AT THE LAFAYETTE The bill given at the Lafayette Theatre the first half was the best seen at this popular house for weeks. All the acts on the bill showed class, and the many patrons made it manifest that they heartily appreciated the high class brand of entertainment. As usual, the Anita Bush Stock Company carried off first honors, the sketch—Wanted, a Family," being the most mirth-provoking playlet seen at the Lafayette for some time. It is a scream from start to finish, and the members of the cast did themselves proud in their respective parts "Dooley" Wilson is funny in the role of "Finnigan." The other members of the cast are Charles H Gilpin, Andrew Bishop, Carlotta Freeman, Anita Bush and Mrs. Charles H Anderson. J. Francis Mores, one of the race's most prominent baritone singers, is appearing in Negro songs, scoring strongly. All of his numbers were artistically rendered. His biggest number was "Mammy" The McCarthy Sisters, one of the niftiest sister teams that has played the Lafayette Theatre, went big in their songs. Their voices are fresh and they harmonize nicely. De Noto's Band of ten pieces makes sweet music and the conductor, in his acrobatic movements while directing his musicians, is a show in himself. 31—Sid Jackson, St Christopher C 130 28.40 32—C Williams, St Christopher C 2.15 29.25 33—E Jilly, St Mark's C C 5 00.0 29.25 34—A Shepah, St Mark's C C 5 00.0 32.57 35—A Roberts, St Mark's A C 5 00.0 32.57 TEAM SCORES.

(BY WILL ANTHONY MADDEN.) Hampton's overwhelming and decisive defeat of Howard was just an another of the surprises of the season. For the last two seasons when Howard has met Hampton the Washington boys have defeated Hampton on Manhattan Casino court, and then would lose to Hampton by the close margin of one point when the teams would meet in Virginia. This season though, there has been such a reversal of form on the part of both teams that Hampton seems to be the logical leading college team. But the result of the score it is evident that Hampton's shooting has improved wonderfully. This game against Howard will go a long way toward boosting the stock of the Institute boys when they clash with St. Christopher at Manhattan Casino to-morrow night. Furthermore Hampton has a victory over St C to her credit. The game ought to be a thriller. Holland of Howard University is now playing with the Cardinal-Hiawathas and will be seen in the lines up against the "Incorporators" on March 3, at Manhattan Casino On Febraury 4 Alpha "Big Five" will clash with the Cardinal-Hiawatha's at Grand Army Hall in Washington, D. C. It has been called to my attention that the Oriental A C. of New Rochelle, N Y., has been under the coaching of Mr Ardeneze Dash of Alpha "Big Five" and that the team has shown great improvement. The Orientals defeated the Mt Kisco quintet last Thursday night by the score of 2311. In the preliminary contest the Oriental Cubs took the measure of the Dixie Lake by 244 Lloyd Garner is still playing with the Orientals The Carlton's easy victory over the Salem Crescentes of New York again gives evidence of the calibre of the Brooklyn champs. They defeated Salem Crescent by the score of 38-14 which is going some when we consider that Salem is a good team and one always to be counted on Carlton's super game against Alpha a couple of weeks ago has proven beyond a doubt that this Y M C A team from across the bridge is a team that belongs in the first division of basket ball teams and it is doubtful whether any team at their weight can defeat them.

Incorporators. Time of halves—20 minutes each Howard's chances against Alpha "Big Five" on the evening of Washington's Birthday at Manhattan Casl no look very doubtful Still Howard may take a brace by that time. I repeat exactly what I said before that when forty-seven fouls are called on one team in one game then the game becomes ridiculous and such a game is put down as a joke. The very fact that an unasked for, long drawn-out explanation was given to my little note, only the more strengthens my assertion and proves even more forcibly that there was something wrong. On Lincoln's Birthday, Saturday afternoon, February 12, Alpha and St. Christopher will clash in a game that will be fought out on every inch of court and from whistle to whistle. Each club will send the cream of their squads and the team that can stand the "gaff" will win. Great preparations are being made for the big return game between the Cardinal-Hawthorns of Washington, D C, and the Champion "Incorporators" at Manhattan Casino on Friday night, March 3, 1916 The "Incorporat ators" are anxious to even up matters and are working hard to that end On the other hand the Cardinal-Hawaiiana say that they have beaten the "In corporators" once and can do t again Can they? March 3 will tell St. Augustine Defeats E. Orange Set element at Elizameth. When St. Augustine lined up against Mr Burrell's "Five" last Saturday night at Christ Church, Parish Hall Elizabeth, N J., there was not the slightest doubt (among the Orange folks) that East Orange would win but they were very much surprised before the end of the game. By good hard playing the St. Augustine won by the score of 28-14. The line-up was as follows: St. Augustine, 28—Marrow 1f; B. Holmes, r; A. Vandever, c; Thorn, R.g.; C. Vandever, lg. E Orange Five, 14—Schuyler, lf; Vandorn rf; L Norman, c; Moore, rg; Greene, lg Mr Charles M Henderson, manager of the Cardinal-Hiawathas of Washington, D C., was in town this week on basketball business Rumor has it that he is leaving no stone unturned to gain another victory over the famous "Incorporators" when the two teams meet at Manhattan Casino on Friday night, March 3 Watch New York Age, and all papers for advertisements What promises to be a half-splitting rip-snorting contest is the big game between St. Christopher Tigers and the fast St. Augustine team of Brooklyn, at Labor Lyceum, Brooklyn, on February 9. This game will be "St C" Tigers' initial appearance before the public this season and it is believed they will have to travel some to beat the boys from across the bridge who seem to have awakened and found their stride. Wherest St Christopher plays there always is a good game and many people will be on hand to see this game. As a side event the undefeated St Mark's Cubs, who have made such a spectacular advent into the basketball firmament, will meet "St C's" Cubs who are spoken of as being the probably champion cub team in the East. At any rate Labor Lyceum will be filled on February 9, to witness both of these games. --- Intercollegiate Athletes Meet Ryerson, N.C. - The fourth annual conference of the North Carolina Intercollege Athletic Association was held at Shaw University January 21, 1974.
