HAS THE AGGED VOL. XXIX No. 19 WHAT BRITISH GUIANA OFFERS Possibilities of its Natural Resources Laid Before the Negroes of this Country CALLED MAGNIFICENT COLONY Open Letter from a Colored Guianese Makes An Appeal to His American Brethren Offering Unusual Opportunity. Developers of These Sources of Wealth are Colored Natives, as a Rule, as are also the Timber and Other Wood Cutters, Charcoal Burners, Boathands and Droghers—Government Grants Easily Secured. American Negroes are informed in an open letter written by H. Everard Davis, High and Regent streets, Georgetown, Demerara, British Guiana, of wonderful possibilities for commercial and industrial development which can be found in that country. He cites figures showing that while the colored population is larches in the majority, advantage has not been taken of the natural resources of the country. Untold wealth is lying dormant for lack of exploitation. Mr. Davis makes an appeal to the American colored people, asking their cooperation in the development of the financial resources of the country, and presents some strong arguments showing why they should do so. He presents a plan which he thinks is feasible and which he believes will open the way to race development and advance along all lines. His letter is as follows: Or Letter to Our American Brethren by a Colored Guiana. As you are doubtless aware, British Grenada is sometimes styled in history and other books a "magist cent colony," and much has been said and written about the great possilities existing here to a great extent long fallow and unshaped. And meanwhile we Guatemala exist and that only. The rest. All so many, so varied, so varied. The last census returns to December 1914, the population of this country, at its 90,227 square miles was only 30 percent of which 151,088 were colored names and West Indians, locally distinguished as 118,719 black and 32,364 mixed 134,463 were East Indians, 10,059 Portuguese, 2,776 Chinese, 3,914 European (white) and 7,648 aboriginal Indians and other races, a very heterogeneous mixture, of which our race is undoubtedly the least progressive. And while because of the existence of a sad laity of unity and co-operation hitherto, because, if not all, of us are now aware, and but need a little help to start in the way to unification, independence and success. And so we appoin our strong and successful leaders to "give us a hand up." our political economy, we grew a little into past history, shortly after the time when we who were slaves were recollected of which period horror and cruel wrongs still pain and sometimes anger the state industry of which was one sugar, and the sugar weakness and distress of the mother counsellor policy of the onion door was well ruined the wheel the white plaster that the war demanded by the order could not proptify it rather than abandon the introduction of chapers led on Portuguese horror the King and lastly were put reduced generally into the future to do the duty in order to carry on only successfully and to must the more cheaply produced German and Russian which the British confectioners in their greed for into the markets of the trade bring the produce at a disadvantage to the depression and run of the West In British Guiana The Imported Labor.

The New York Age INTERESTING FIGURES CONCERNING JAMAICA Special to The New York Acq. KINGSTON, JAMAICA—Interesting figures concerning the population of Jamaica are made public in the annual report of David Belfour, registrar general of the Island of Jamaica. The population of Jamaica is preponderantly colored—eighty per cent. being black, twelve and one-half per cent. white, and the balance colored. Jamaica, while a British possession, is a near neighbor to the United States, and is a natural link between that country and the Panama Canal. To the capable and progressive commercial pioneer, Jamaica is well worth knowing and offers much opportunity to the man getting in on the ground floor. Future prospects are very great. The following figures are taken from the registrar general's annual report, and are absolutely authentic: Population:—Estimate of population on 31st March, 1915:—Estimated population on 21st March, 1914, 864,864; births registered 1914-15, 34,208; Deaths registered 1914-15, 18,802; increase, 15,406; 16fal, 880,270. Marriages:—2,721 marriages were registered during the year, giving a rate of 5.0 per 100 persons living in Jamaica, 83.83 marriages a rate of 3.1 in the previous year. These are the lowest rates which have occurred for 21 years. 1,919 or 35.2 of the 6,442 persons married signed the register by mark. The rate for the previous year was 33.3. The sex proportions for the year under review were 34.6 under review, 2,913 bachelors married spinsters 77 bachelors married widows, 262 widowers married spinsters, and 67 widowers married widows. 2 divorced males married spinsters. In 14.9 per cent. of the marriages one or both of the contracting parties had been in the married state before. Seventeen marriages during the year were performed according to the purely civil ceremony. On 31st March, 1915, there were 380 ministerial marriages officers and 13 registrars of marriages. Births —34,208 birth were registered; deaths —women—17,159 girls, 17,009. The birth rate was 38.9 per 1,000 of population against 35.3 for 1913-4 and 38.8 for 1912-1913. I. S. TYLER, FATHER Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. COLUMBUS, Ohio—Poetry and other beautiful things of life always appealed to James S. Tyler and a few minutes before he died. Wednesday day, January 26, with members of his family gathered about him at his home, 1107 Highland street, he recited the verses of Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar." During eighteen months' illness, superintroduced by a fall he frequently had praised that death would relieve him of suffering. Few colored men in Ohio were so well and favorably known as he and few have done so much by example constant counsel and faithful service to elevate the race to high respect. A personal friendship he enjoyed for years with the late President McKinley had its beginning on a Southern battlefield. J. B. I. oraker, while governor, was his friend and gave him a position as captol attache. Many other men of public prominence knew him intimately and thousands liked him for his cheery smile and disposition. His knowledge of literature and history was unusual. St. Paul's A M. E. Church loses a member who never lost an opportunity to perform a helpful service. Man years ago Mr. Tyler began to arouse the interest of members of his race in educational affairs and current events by contributing the Afro-American department to the State Journal. Although the days of his own schooling were less than those embraved within one year, throughout his life he was a student and man of ideals. Born on the site of the present Knickerbocker Theater in South High street, nearly 79 years ago few men born here have ever survive. His wife who died two years ago also was a nature of Columbus. Mr Tyler served in the Fifth United States colored regiment during the Civil War. At the close of the conflict he was mustered out as a quarter-master sergeant. He was the first colored man to be elected clerk in the Ohio House of Representatives and served during three sessions Under Sheriff J. U. Rickenbacker he was appointed court badhoff. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Joseph Hardesty and Mrs. Ithel Lier and seven sons, Ralph W. former auditor of the navy, Dr James Maurice H Julius R Henry M Hoster and William H Tyler of Columbus and J O Tyler of St Louis. which is more or less under government control and is paid for out of the public revenue thereby partly paying for the introduction of a contemporary worker with whom he cannot compete on an economic basis, as the average gate of mid-autured labor pay is 24 cents per day a sunny quite inadequate for the support of any race but the East Indian Here the colored man (which expression I use in the comprehensive American sense, and not with our local and insular meaning) benefits to some extent by the prosperity of the sugar industry, as considerable of the overseers, drivers or foremen and laborers on the heavier tasks the engineers, pain-banners, dispensers and porters necessary in the manure and handling of this product are colored patrons. But the system of introducing cheaper labor or outfitting above has had the effect of forcing us out into other avenues of work, earn a livelihood away from the plantations and settling on lands of our porefathers into the air hinterland where life is more strenuous and trying, with the result that man, if not all of the pioneers of the industries of our scarcely (continued on page two) NO RACIAL LINES FOR CINCINNATI SCHOOLS White Pupils at Walnut Hills High School Try to Force Colored Pupils Out Superintendent of Schools Conden Declares That There Will Be No Elimination of Colored Pupils—Says It Would Be at Variance With the Spirit of the Public Schools—Pupils Had Fistic Combat. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE CINCINNATI, Ohio—There will be no drawing of the color line in the Walnut Hills High School, as was demanded by white pupils on threat of withdrawing in a body from that institution. Fifty of them walked out, but returned to leave the matter to arbitration. But Superintendent of Schools Condon declares there will be elimination of colored pupils. "I do so would not only be a violation of law, but also at variance with the spirit of our public schools," said Dr. Condon. There are about ten colored students and about one hundred whites. The trouble originated, it is said, in a misunderstanding growing out of the failure of a colored student to make the football team, and the matter developed to an extent that precipitated a historic combat between the white and colored boys. Several of the white boys were struck one of them having a probable fracture of the nose. That the combat was participated in by a number of colored men not connected with the school, is a charge made by the white boys. Principal Henshaw stated that there was no rule or custom barring colored boys from the athetic teams, and said that some of the star members of various teams were colored, including Tull, catcher on the baseball team. Mr. Henshaw does not allow them will any serious result and that the matter will be adjusted satisfactorily in a short while. To prevent a repetition of the physical combat, police officers were stationed at the school during recess activities and at close of the day's sessions. The colored boys, while greatly in the minority, have stood bravely by their cuns, and have not allowed themselves to be browbeaten or coerced. They are making a manful stand for rights guaranteed under the law, and they have the unqualified support of Superintendent of Schools Condon. SWELL WHITE HOTEL Special to THE NEW YORK ACKLE LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Seelbach's Hotel is one of the swellest hostries in the Blue Grass section, and of course it bars the Negro as a guest. But three weeks ago a young colored man, with a plentiful supply of cash, came to the city went to Seelbach's and secured quarters. He was not different in composition or texture of hair from any one on hundreds of Louisville's young hotel man, but he was not asked as to his racial identity and he did not volunteer to the hotel folks any information. He was a guest of the palatial caracas or three weeks paying his bill tipping the cell boys with hats, and was well liked by those of the guest with whom he came in contact. But outside of the hotel all his association in Louisville was with members it has race. On West Chester street he met a young woman and the attraction was mutual. He took the young woman to the rathskellar at Seelbach's for dinner. The young lady had been receiving attention from a Louisville gentleman and the home man was naturally jealous. When he found that the visitor had taken the girl to Seelbach's, the sad home man saw a way to secure revenge. He informed the hotel folks that the house guest in question was Negro. The hotel management was shocked, and questioned the young man who promptly informed them of his racial identity. He remained at the hotel three or four days longer, however, in fact, until he left the city. WHITE MAN SEDUCED Special to The New York Times LOEKRA, Kan. Arthur Davenport, a white man, married, an employee at the State Hospital, has been convicted by a jury composed of white men, in the district court, for seducing Thelma Grant. 13-year-old colored girl. The crush was committed at the prison places, and a number of letters from the white man to the little girl, in which he expressed his love for her, were read to the jury Davenport, on the stand and in the presence of his wife admitted that he loved the little girl and bad sent her from the city to present her to try living in the case. This is the first case to be brought to trial in a three-hour out of allotted days at the State Hospital, an intendant Dollie Chatz, who claims ignorance of any crimes committed against colored girls. Davenport will be sent to the penitentiary under the verdict. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1916. J. C. CALDWELL. STRONG IN RACE FOR BISHOPRIC Special to The New York Age. NASHVILLE, Tenn.—In sounding the sentiment among the distinguished prelates and other visitors who are here to attend the Bishop's Council of the African chapist Episcopal Church, the fact has developed that Dr. J. C. Caldwell of Nashville, general secretary of the Allen Christian League, is a formidable candidate for the office of bishop before the next general conference of the church which meets in Philadelphia in May. Not only is he a formidable candidate, but at this time his chances seem brighter than almost any of the other men who have been mentioned for the coveted honor. The Bishop's Council, which is meeting in Nashville, brings with it a number of those who are desirous of being elected to the office of bishop, and this fact has revived an unusual interest over the situation relating to the selection of the next bishop in the African Methodist Church. Friends and supporters of Dr Caldwell point to his record with pride and declare that he is experienced and well qualified. He finished the public and manual training schools of Philadelphia and the National School of Oratory. He entered Wilberforce University, where he completed his literary education. After this, Dr Caldwell graduated from Payne Theological Seminary, thus fitting himself for the ministry. After serving as pastor in Missouri for some time, he was elected secretary of the young people's work. There are at present more than 4,000 societies, with a membership of 150,000, in the young people's department, as compared to an organization merely in name when he took charge of the department a few years ago. This department publishes all its literature. For the young people it also publishes an eight-page monthly which is well edited and which has a large circulation and a wide influence. Being a life trustee of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, a member of the Field Workers' Union and other similar organizations, she is a representative on all of the programs of the International and World's Christian Endeavor conventions. He is the only colored member of the Field Workers' Union and meets with this distinguished body every two years at Sagamore Beach. His work of organizing the Young People's Congress at Atlanta showed him to be a resourceful and constructive leader. It was the greatest meeting of its kind in the denomination's history. He is 45 years of age. ZION OFFICIAL SHORT $9,000 CHOKCH FUNDS BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Because of an alleged shortage of money, 69,000 in his account is a financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev J. S. Jackson was summarily dismissed from that office and the Aetna Accident and Liability Co., which bonded him, was called on for a settlement. The board of finance discovered in December that there was a shortage of the funds in bank and in the hands of the secretary, but by his request he was given until January 11 to make a settlement. When he submitted his report on January 12, showing that there ought to be in his hands $19,112,288, the secretary claimed that about $4,000 of this amount had been lost in the failure of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank. But the board of finance had already made an investigation and knew this to be a false statement. The Board of Bishops accordingly took summary action, closing up the Birmingham office, placing the department in the hands of the board of finance, and appointing John C. Dancy as acting financial secretary until general conference meeting in May. Theounding company has already taken share of the books at Birmingham and it is thought that a prompt settlement of the shortage will be made. The company will probably prosecute the dismissed secretary. In addition to the shortage of $0,000 in the secretary's office the board of finance has been notified that more than $0,000 in cashier's checks issued to the Alabama Penny Savings Bank in a settlement of December accounts, were protested. These checks will have to be handled by the State banking anthracite, and will be made good accord to the amount of assets recovered for the bank. But the Zion connection is delayed of the use of more than $1,000 while these matters are being adjusted. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL AT CARNEGIE HALL There will be a memorial meeting to Dr. Booker I.

Frissell Succeeds to the Chairmanship of the Executive Board - Helped Schools in 167 Counties, Paying $39,623 34 in Salaries. The annual report of Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Anna T. Jeanes Foundation, showed that aid had been given to Negro rural schools in 167 counties of fourteen States, and that $39,623.34 had been paid out for teachers' salaries. The Jeanes Fund Board was originally created under a trust reposed in the late Dr Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and Dr. H. B. Frissell of Hampton Institute, Virginia The fund or more than a million dollars was devised by the late Anna T. Jeanes of Philadelphia. The annual meeting was held in the rooms of the General Education Board, 61 Broadway, on Wednesday, January 26. Members of the board present were Dr James H. Dillard, president of the Foundation, Mar Robert R Moton, secretary, Dr H B Frussell, of Hampton Institute, Hon R L. Smith, of Waco, Texas; Hon J. C.

George Foster Peabody, of Saratoga, N. Y. The board at present is composed of seven northern white men, five southern white men, and five colored men. Dr. H. B. Frisselt was elected to the chairmanship of the executive committee to succeed the late Dr. Washington, and Dr. Washington's place on the board was filled by the election of Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute. In his annual report, Dr. Dillard commented at length on the loss occasioned through the death of Dr. Washington. A committee was appointed to draft a minute for the permanent records of the Foundation, and Dr H. T. Kcaling offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted. With grief bowed and uncovered hems the members of the Anna T. Jeanes Foundation desire to express their keen sense of loss in the death of Dr. B. T. Washington, who, as suggestor of this benefaction for rural schools, brought limitation to the education and uplift among a class hitherto most neglected and always most needful of such service. We feel that we are fellow sufferers with a whole care and the entire nation in the loss of Dr Washington's wise advice and unfortunate death gives peculiar consolation to our future service. We therefore pledge unabated and if possible increased devotion to the cause of the man farthest down whose interests were the life thoughts of our deceased associate. Described in detail of these expenses, we are urged upon our minutes and that an enclosed torso be framed his widow SPECIAL PARTY TO SPECIAL PARTY TO BISHOP'S COUNCIL Special to the New York Times Washington D.C.

JERSEY CITY, N. J.-For four years or more Magdalena McLean, a little girl who came to this country with her parents from the Barbados Islands, W. I., has been imured in her room, kept from contact with her little brothers and sisters, and not allowed to see any of her playmates or friends. The only time she left her room in the family home at 930 West Side avenue, was when she would come out after dark for a walk. Soon after her parents moved to Jersey City a rash appeared upon her body. Her mother took her to the Skin and Cancer Hospital of New York and the rash was diagnosed as leprosy. Since that time she has been isolated. But last Friday she was taken from her home and placed in the Hudson County Hospital for Contagious Diseases at Secaucus, N. J., and her only attendant is Margaret Dinkle, a nurse She is 16 years old, and while her face is slightly disfigured, she retains much of her Indian beauty. She asked that he be allowed to have piano and books brought to the hospital which will be done. She has in her room a canary in a cage that was sent to her by Mayor Mark Fagan of Jersey City. Superintendent McDonough says that the Chaulmoogra oil treatment will be used on her. This is the treatment with which the government claims to have cured 30,000 cases of leprosy in the Philippines. Only slight hope, however, is held out to the family, and the little girl is cheerful and brave in her affection. Other, members of the McLean family have been carefully examined by physicians, but no trace of the disease has been discovered in them. She seems to be more concerned about her folks than about herself. "My only worry," she said, "is about my people. They must have known all along that I was a leper, for they have always been sad about me, mamma especially. Friday they took me away Ivan papa cried. When I was first shut up in my room at home I wondered why I couldn't play with my little friends, but I got used to it I suppose I'll get used to this, too. "Yes, I am to be allowed to fix up these rooms as I please, and sometimes in the dusk I will be allowed to go walking if I go alone and keep far away from everybody. With my books birds and my piano I shall have to do the best I can. I think I shall be contented. Music, especially the music one makes up when alone, is great company."

Special to The New York Age. ATLANTA, Ga—That BenJamm J. Davis and Bird S. Ingram do not intend to bow without a fight to the mandates of the sub-committee of management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which recently suspended them from the Order for one year, and recalled the charter of District Grand Lodge No. 18, jurisdiction of Georgia, is shown in the fact that Dr. Alfred D. Jones, a prominent local member of the Order, has gone before Judge W. D. Ellis of the Fulton Superior Court, and prayed for the appointment of temporary receivers for the handling of the affairs of the Order. This prayerary wanted by Judge Ellis on Jan. 4, and officers with the other officers as receivers Court Names Ingram and Davis Receivers. The court's order included the setting of March 4 for the appearance of the representatives of the opposition to show cause why the receivership should not be made permanent. The order cities further "In the meantime, the Court now takes jurisdiction of said cause and the assets in said petition set up, and directs that the same remain in the custody of B. S. Ingram, District Grand Master; J. C. Deputy District Grand Master; B. J. Davis, District Grand Secretary; J. C. Styles, District Grand Treasurer, and William Decker Johnson, District Grand Director, and that they be permitted in the meantime to carry on the ordinary business of said corporation, being restrained only from disposing of any of the assets except in the ordinary business of said corporation. "It is further considered, ordered and adjudged that the filing of this petition and the taking jurisdiction of said cause and assets mentioned in the petition shall in no wise and the rights of the beneficiaries and of the debtors, association, but that their rights, until further order, shall remain as they are now; and until further order of this Court all parties, the defendant herein and its agents, are hereby enjoined from in any wise interfering with the custody and control of the aforesaid Ingram, P.

"Leave is granted to defendants on five days' notice to the plaintiff to move for an earlier hearing of the cause." Missrs. Jarmon and Davis have issued a signed statement to the members of the Order in Goor, in which the action of the S-C.M is reviewed and information given that while four hundred and sixty-five affidavits were presented to the trial body in their behalf, less than twenty persons, some of them alleged to not belong to the Order presented to testimony against them. But the action of the S-C.M indicated that the torts outweighed the four hundred and sixty-five. Cutting the action of the court in continuing the officers in charge of the Order's affairs, the statement directs that the subordinate lodges will conquer under the court's order, to send all money to B J Days, direct grand secretary, instead of to the S-C.M, as was ordered in the judgments of that body, given in The Age last week.

In the last issue of *The Atlanta Independent*, the paper edited by B J Davis, and published as the official organ of the Odd Fellows of Georgia, Mr Davis declares in an editorial note that no formal notice has been served by the S-C M, either on Ingram or Davis, or on any of the lodges of the State of its recent action. In regard to this it is declared by prominent office officials and the president of findings in the official organ, *The Odd Fellows Journal*, published in Washington, D C, with H P Slaughter, editor, constitutes a formal official notice from the S-C M. . In the same issue of The Independent appears an editorial under the caption "Ingram and Davis Martyrs." In this editorial Mr Davis claims that the punishment inflicted was out of all proportion to the charges laid, and makes the definite charge that Ingram and Davis are the victims of a conspiracy among men higher up in the charges further that the disposal of the two Georgians was necessary for the promotion of the personnel ends of ambiguous individuals. Referring to the revocation of the charter of District Grand Lodge No 18, Mr Davis said. The ruthless and illegal revocation of the Georgia warrant was nothing less than an effort born of the desire to conquer Fifteen Million Dollars worth of insurance. The interruption was Fifteen Million Dollars in insurance for which the corporation is liable, and has assets of more than a Half Million Dollars, and the revocation of the warrant has the effect so far as the decision of the S.C.M. of leaving the corporation without an offer of compensation and not regard was had for the interest that is dear to the fifty thousand Georgian society men and women. Despite the fact that the women of Georgia have Five Million Dollars of insurance with the Georgia corporation, the laws of our State as well as the Constitution of the United States will not permit us to repudiate or impair a contract we are told that we must do that which is legally imposable, impair a contract. It is further asserted that "no two 1 COLORED MEN WANTED No experience necessary.

They are entitled to some consideration for their contribution to American civilization. After citing that they have furnished employment, means and encouragement to hundreds of men, women and children, and that the funds and assets which would be offered to the S-C-M are trust funds for the benefit of widows and orphans, the gauntlet is thrown down to the Sub-Committee of Management in the following den: Defy the S.-C. M. The order suspending Ingram and Layvis is void and without force and effect, for the reason the acts with which they were charged do not constitute an offense under the law. At best, the charges were fictional and the Georgia charter is void for the reason the committee had no jurisdiction. No process was issued, and the District Grand Lodge was not in court, and The Independent advises that these matters be determined by the right to控件 property, consent free speech and muzzle the press, depriving the citizens of rights. The independent does not believe that the courts will sustain the S.-C. M in abridging the rights and contesting the property of the citizen if they do not submit to arbitrary and tyrannical rulings and farad prints. Depriving the citizens of submit without legally protecting the oppressive actions of the S.-C. M. The S.-C. M has gone so far as to enjoin the Old Fellows or George from assembling in a time of peace as Old Fellows for their own moral duties. George is enjoined and restrained the Old Fellows in enforcing a from conducting an industrial farm and school for the education of their children and the promotion of good citizenship, convinced them to spend spending a dollar upon them and the hands of the Georgia corporation that it cannot buy an ear of corn baked of med, a blade of folder to feed a mule cow, chicken or hog on the farm. What British Guiana Offers What British Guiana Offers (continued from page one) developed interior are colored natives. All the gold diggers diamond miners, tumber and other wood cutters, charcoal turners, *salata collectors*, and the arms of boat hands and draggers necessary for the carrying on of these industries are colored men. They are hard work- ers almost daily risking their lives in their duties, mostly honest and industri- ous in all rewarded and so to a great extent impudent and wasteful tatalists living only in the moment, with no hope for the future, no prospects, discontented and anxious of their more prosperous brethren who are rather untolerant of their poorer and less fortu- tional slave fear and worship adversely of the white man. The white man Akes attended and assists him away from his own tolerating him so that he can use and also dominate him, and thus keeps the race emasculated and dis- tunted. Colored Professional Men. Through the fairly liberal education granted us hitherto, and eagerly absorbed by a considerable percentage, most of the professional men the lawyers, the medics, a fair number of the clergymen and all of the school teachers are colored, and, too, all of the artisans and tradesmen in every branch. In the government service the high and lucrative positions are the close preserve of the gentry from home, as they style themselves, only a few positions of importance and the jobs of the lower order, like district postmasters, postmen, messengers and policemen (others excepted), etc., being filled by the colored natives. Strange as it may seem though the constitution which we have been granted for some years now is fairly liberal, and in spite of the fact that almost exclusively in our municipal government and largely in our administrative government we are well represented racially we cannot forget ahead. This it must honestly be admitted, is through a sad lack of co-operation but also more potently to the lack of manpower. But an awakening has taken place and can be seen from the history-making events recently recorded in the columns of our press, more particularly our colored-owned and colored-run newspaper, The Free Lawer, we are being drawn together through the common danger of the misschooling of our children which is threatening us. It is help with money power we need most. I will outline a scheme which it is to be hoped will appeal to those of you who can join and help. That is, to form a league from which will branch a saddlecate duly incorporated in the United States and registered under the law here, with a capital of from one to five million dollars to establish a trading company which will embrace a general import and export commercial business, also banking and financing progressive hinterland and other schemes, to lend assistance to those industries operated by members of our race on the easiest terms compatible with sound finance to help to inculcate some spirit of independence aid industries, to give the start on the road to success to ambitious ones, and so eradicate the feelings of distrust and envy so prone to raise its evil head on our must. This can be done by starting industrial training institutions for fitting our young men and women for the future to become successful and contented citizens of the world, and to give the chance to those who are so gifted to become ornaments to our race like the many brilliant ones among you. How Timber Is Handled. Our own churches and schools our own factories and stores our own banks and emporiums mines, sawmills and prosperous plantations import and export trade controlled by us, and for the benefit of our race, our own steamship lines, railways and other means of communication and the development of our own country! Is it a dream only? Or will it be THE NEW YORK AGE. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1916. realized, as it can be, if only we are now helped with a start? What will our colored brethren in 'the land of the free and the brave' say to us? Will it succeed? Will it pay? Well, take one illustration. Timber is wanted. The only ones here to operate an industry such as this, requiring hard, strenuous labor, are colored men. After weeks, or it may be months, of ardour, pioneering and prospecting 'in the bush', as it is called, a suitable tract of forest country is spotted on, the government is applied to for a grant, which is usually given on the payment of certain fees and the complying with sundry regulations, and, everything being in order, work is to be commenced. If the operator is able financially to start, he does so in a slightly advantageous position, if not, he has to take credit from one of the large export merchant houses (white), for which he has to pay well. Labor, skilled to a certain extent, is obtained under contract and registered; provisions and implements are bought from either the European or Portuguese business houses, on which goods a handsome profit is made, and now with a supply of punts, large and small, boats, winches, warps, slug-chains, cattle for hauling, etc., and all the necessary paraphernalia, figners, squarers and other laborers, operations, commence on the grant to prepare for export, let us say 150,000 cubic feet of greasepaint, the tunber which is most in demand (there are dozens of others as good, and easily obtainable). The operator pays 5 to 6 cents, per cubic foot for felling and squaring, about 4 to 5 cents for making tunnel paths, another 4 or 5 cents for hauling the creeks, another 5 cents for loading the transporting crafts and superintending 2 cents results to the government (besides yearly license fees), costing altogether from 20 to 24 cents per foot put on the loading beam. The operator gets from the mechan shipper from 20 to 30 cents and he in turn gets from 80 cents to $1.20 and gets both from the profits made on the foodstuffs and implements supplied as well as on the results of the labor on the colored man who has had to barter his energy for a very meagre price. I creative trade can certainly be done in gold diamonds, sapphire and ruby, especially by assisting the small present farmers with the latter also in rice, lalata, timbers and woods of various kinds, logwood and other products. A white reputed million-dollar Amercan conquest has recently started in operations on lands in the Berkshire river in the scientific cultivation and preparation of the timber milling. The labor through which all the profits will be made is colored. If the capital too were also colored men how much better it would be! Granted the chance of a helping hand with money, and with the unification of the colored race here, if not of the whole at first, or even a strong and intelligent unlucky our race can and will be unlured and become successful and strong BISHOP CONNER TELLS NEGRO—"STAY SOUTH" New Orleans, La—"Better homes, better schools, better health, better churches, better preachers, and better people." was the keynote of the Louisiana African Methodist Episcopal Conference Friday in St Peter's A M E Church, Cadiz and Coliseum streets, presided over by Bishop J M Conner of Little Rock, Ark Bishop Conner said, "Let the Negro stay in the South where he has many opportunities for developing himself. Those who are living in unventilated, unsanitary houses in the cities and dying like flies, so to speak, let them go back to the country, till the soil, for the soil has never drawn the color line, and never will. We tilted the soil in the day of slavery for the white people, and got good results, and now let us till it for ourselves, and see if the same results or even better can't be obtained. We are asking the white people to give us good schools, good teachers and protection of life and property, and we will give to the South better farms and better crops, but we are not going to bring up our children in ignorance."

He spoke of Gen. Armstrong's birth in the Hawaiian Islands as giving him an opportunity to secure personal consciousness of a race near nature, developing at the same time a plan by which its powers could be quickened Dr Williams said that the present war puts Gen Armstrong's work in a new light "clearer than ever." he said, "are the interlacing responsibilities of nations, lands, peoples and races.

JERSEYITES FIGHT VICIOUS RACE PLAYS Trenton, N.J.-Supported by Negro organizations throughout the State the bill drafted by the Colored Citizens' Union of Orange, prohibiting picture plays and lithograph displays that are harmful to the race, was introduced in the New Jersey Legislature on Monday by Assemblyman Barrodale of Essex County. The bill is the outcome of the protest of New Jersey Negroes against plays of that nature. On January 23 a conference of representatives men from the counties of Union, Hudson and Essex was held in Newark and a committee consisting of J.E. Sadler, editor of the Eastern Observer, Dr. George A Cannon, president of the Hudson County Committee of One Hundred, James Miller, grand auditor of the Odd Follows, Dr. A. Lawrence of Elizabeth, and Hamilton Travis, was appointed to further the introduction of the bill.

As the President's tour progresses his plea for preparedness becomes stronger, until now it has reached the point of being alarming. His right-about-face from his position of a year ago gives rise to speculation We are forced to ask, "why this decided change?" Was the President forced to leave the pacificists' camp and go over to preparedness because he perceived that pacificism would not be a good issue on which to go before the country for re-election? Or is his action in answer to what he believes is public sentiment and the will of the nation? Or has he knowledge, through the channels of secret diplomacy, of the fact that the United States is threatened by imminent war with some one of the great powers? At any rate, some of his latest utterances are very significant. For example the following paragraphs from his Chicago speech: "We want war," he said, "if it must come, to be something that springs out of the sentiments and principles and actions of the people themselves." He coined the phrase "more (with blood), in being colored it will be glorified and purified." These are sentiments decidedly different from those expressed by the President in his message to Congress a year ago, in which he dismissed the claims for preparedness with a smile and a wave of the hand. They are quite different from those expressed by the President in his Philadelphia speech a day or two after the Lusitania disaster, in which he used the now famous phrase "Too proud to fight." What the country should want to know is whether these ominous words are a part of the coming political war, or is there behind them the probability of real war. IS THERE NO REMEDY? The above question was asked a few days ago in a letter on lynching, sent broadcast to southern college students by the University Commission on southern race questions. It is good to know that this Commission has decided to go this far. Certainly it is good to know that the question has been put at a time when down in the sovereign state of Georgia there have been fourteen Negroes lynched within the past six weeks. The news dispatches of last week reported the lynching of five Negroes near Sylvester, Georgia, from one limb of the tree, four of whom were of the same family, suspected of having killed a sheriff. Thus, another of those Georgia frolics has passed into history. Over in Mexico they murder Americans and this government is worked up to a great frenzy. Senators and representatives strongly urge that the government send troops across the border to protect the lives of its citi- JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR.

Perhaps it may so provide in mind the advancement of his political in our humble opinion, have made a far more named ex-President Taft. We have no intention of discussing the Brandeis political point of view. We do not believe the old greatly to the President's popularity, so we, however, we were struck by the following Clinton despatch to the New York Sun: A telegram was received to-day at the office of the C. O. Judiciary of the Senate as follows We protest to the end and resent vigorously the appeal of the Jew to the United States Supreme Court bench. can gentiles feel bitter and will no longer support it Where he gained one Jew he will lose 10,000 gentile disgrace and a shame. The nomination of Louis D. Brandeis to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court caused a sensation; and there are indications that his confirmation will meet with some opposition. Most likely he will be confirmed, but he is sure to come in for a great deal of discussion. In the opinion of many this action of President Wilson bears all the marks of a political stroke. Perhaps it may so prove; but if Mr. Wilson had mind the advancement of his political chances, he would, in our humble opinion, have made a far more effective stroke had he named ex-President Taft. But we have no intention of discussing the Brandeis nomination from a political point of view. We do not believe the appointment will add greatly to the President's popularity, so we let it go at that. However, we were struck by the following, clipped from the Washington despatch to the New York Sun: "A telegram was received to-day at the office of the Committee on Judiciary of the Senate as follows "We protest to the end and resent vigorously the appointment of the Jew to the United States Supreme Court bench. We American gentiles feel bitter and will no longer support the President Where he gained one Jew he will lose 10,000 gentiles. It is a disgrace and a shame. "SOUTHERN GENTILE DEMOCRATS" Mr. Brandeis is not the first Jew to be appointed to high office in this country. Jews have held important places in our diplomatic service; and President Roosevelt appointed a Jew to a place in his cabinet. Of course, a place on the bench of the Supreme Court is higher and more important than any diplomatic or cabinet position, and the Brandeis appointment will therefore be a greater shock to people of anti-Semitic sentiments than any they have yet experienced. It may not be necessary to add that persons in this country who have anti-Semitic sentiments are numerous. Nevertheless, in spite of the number of people who hate Jews, in spite of the telegram reproduced above, and the Senate will receive others like it—anybody who supposes that any fight will be made on the ground of Brandeis being a Jew will be disappointed. In fact, the telegram from "Southern Gentile Democrats" and any other attempts which may be made to raise a racial issue against Mr. Brandeis will only serve to strengthen his hand. The reason is simple; any senator who would have opposed the nomination on other grounds will now refrain from doing so for fear of being accused of fighting Brandeis on account of his race. In a word, there is not a single senator with any regard for his political future who would dare to let it be known or even suspicioned that he would oppose the confirmation of Mr. Brandeis because he is a Jew. And that brings us down to what we started to say 一 There is a parallel between the condition of the Jewish race and of the Negro race which is often remarkably striking. They are both the victims of prejudice and persecution. In many parts of the world this prejudice is stronger against Jews than against Negroes. Even in the United States there are a great many people who have a stronger antipathy to the Jew than to the Negro. So eminent a man as the late Professor Shaler of Harvard University, in his book, "Neighbor," confessed that although he was a Southerner by birth and in sentiments his personal dislike of Jews was much stronger than of Negroes. He went so far as to say that he knew Negroes of whom he was extremely fond, but that all Jewish persons, for some unexplainable reason, were positively repulsive to him. Again, in this country, both Jews and Negroes are forced to maintain their separate and distinct racial identity; though the reasons for it may differ. 一 Now, although there is so close a parallel between the two races, there is also the widest sort of a divergence; as the Brandeis case shows. This case does not cause us to ask why a Negro should not be named for a place in the Supreme Court, but it does cause us to ask another question. There are, perhaps, twelve million Negroes in the United States and about two million Jews. Both races are separate groups within the nation. Both are the objects of race hatred. We might carry the analogy farther, but this is sufficient to prompt the question, "How is it that any Negrophobe in Congress need have no fear in introducing laws against the colored citizens of this country and no hesitancy in using the vilest and most insulting language concerning the whole race; while no Congressman with an equally bitter prejudice against Jews would dare to breathe his sentiments in public, much less introduce anti-Jewish laws or insult the race?" We protest against injustice as well as do the Jews. Our vote in the states where it is counted is larger than the Jewish vote in the entire country. Why is it then that anybody can kick and insult twelve millions of one prescribed race, while nobody dares to open his mouth publicly against two millions of another race that also suffers proscription? Why is it that prejudice in the one case can run the limit and beyond, while in the other case, no matter how strong and bitter it may be, it must restrain itself? When you weigh the whole matter up and down and look it through and through you will find this to be the one answer that stands out big and clear: the twelve million Negroes in this country are, comparatively speaking, paupers; while the two million Jews have a controlling interest in the finances of the nation. There is no doubt about it; we may accomplish what we will, but, until we make ourselves felt as a financial element in the country, they are not going to stop kicking our dog around. The writer does not intend to say that the possession of wealth by the Negro will bring an end to prejudice. It has not done so in the case of the Jew; a Jew-baiter hates a rich Jew, perhaps, worse than he does a poor one. But the possession of wealth by thezens Down in Georgia mobs take the lives of Americans in the most savage fashion. The news is flashed over the country simply as news, and is read by millions with apparent unconcern. Is there no remedy? The time is coming, dear fellow Americane, when a remedy will have to be found for putting a stop to this sort of public execution on the part of hundreds of murderers who do their fiendish work as brutally and openly, as it is done by murderers in Mexico; and a murderer in America is as dangerous A man in a suit stands on a hill, holding a stick and pointing at a man in a cowboy hat who is running away from him. In the background, a man is hanging from a tree. UNCLE SAM:--“This Is Most Appalling！” Negro, as a race will do this much, it will make presidents, senators, congressmen and all politicians, as well as business men and people in general, very particular about how and when they express or show their prejudice. And that is the main thing we are striving for. We should, of course, be glad to have everybody like us, but whether they like us or not, our demand is for them to "treat us right." If we must make a choice, we should rather be disliked and treated as men and citizens, than loved and treated without consideration. In this material world and in this most material country in the world, it is an idle dream for the Negro to hope to be able to demand full consideration until he is able to back up that demand with the power of money. The intellectual development of the race must be coupled with corresponding financial development. In our present condition we can demand nothing, we must beg for all we get. Any member of Congress who wishes to do so can stand in the national legislative halls and villify and insult twelve million Negro citizens of the Republic, and he can do it with impunity; but it is an extremely dangerous thing for any man in public life to breathe one word against two million Jews, or even to let it be known that he has anti-Jewish sentiments.

We await the next news despatch telling of a lynching, of black man or white man, for of late it is getting to be increasingly popular to lynch white folks. It is hoped that when a REMFDY is found for putting an end to the evil in Mexico, it might be tried at home, in the hope that an end may be put to this sort of anarchy on this side of the border THE Y.

Let the young men secure from the 53rd street branch blanks of application for membership. Fill these blanks out and become active members. The fee is only $2 a year. The New York Association should have 2,000 active members. The benefits derived will be worth far more than $2 a year.

This long and early start probably clinches for the Empire State of the South the lynching championship for 1916; for it is not likely that any rival state will overcome such a decisive handicap. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY A Lesson from Mexico. To the Editor of The Age: Apropos of the recent wholesale lynching of white Americans in Mexico comes the thought that this must be the evi- 一 dent beginning of retaliation on this country for its unjust, unfair and brutal treatment of the Negro race. It was rather amusing to read in recent news despatches that white Texans the most hardened of democrats, had wired Col. Roosevelt (why not Mr Bryan?) to use his influence with Congress to gain them some measure of protection along the Rio Grande. The world's all wrong again. Begging T. R. his bitterest opponent, to get them succor in their hour of need. Perish the thought. A virtual admission that President Wilson and a Democratic Congress are unable to cope with the situation existing to-day along the Texan border. We note that a few weeks ago a mob of brave, patriotic Texans attempted to attack the Liberty Bell party for allowing an innocent Negro girl to kiss the historic rebel. And these same Texans are reregining, crowing and running from the greaser Mexicans and hollering to real men for help. Its rather easy and entertaining to browbeat the defenseless and moffensive Negro girl now that the third country has braved and proud has been placed in a similar position between the Germans and Mexicans, it doesnt seem so pleasant and he is showing signs of feeling the pressure. A dose of your own medicine does an awful lot of good sometimes. If Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia would stop trying to break up the allies' blockade of German ports (a futile attempt on his part, anhow) and turn his attention to the Mexican and Georgia banches he would be of some service to his sorely tried party and country. We would remind him that charity begins at A SOUTH CAROLINIAN Preparedness the Watchword of 1916. To the Editor of THE AGE There has been much space devoted to the subject of preparedness in the daily and weekly papers since the beginning of the year to arouse the country to such a pitch that Congress will be compelled to take definite steps in increasing the army and navy. Only recently the New York American, in a bitter Sunday editorial, declared that if the "white man was to "maintain his supremacy over the destiny of the world, all white men would have to join in these compact unless this was done after the nations now at war in Europe had exhausted their resources in the present war, Japan and Asia would start an uprising which might seriously dispute the supremacy of the white race." The significance behind this editorial may sin the eye and comprehension of the average Afro-American, but to the thinners of the race the pretentiousness of this powerful appeal to racial unity cannot be overlooked or allowed to pass without comment. Today the President of the United States informs New York City that "no party can ever disappoint America." What he means by this phrasogram is beyond me, in view of the fact that he has been the biggest disappointment, that the American people ever had. He has not only disappointed his own party, but he has had the courage to do only one thing, and that is to humiliate the black man who had more to do with making this a free nation than any secessionist. Aside from which his acts as Chief Executive have been vacillating, picayunist, pusillanimous and persecutive so far as his dealing with colored Americans are concerned, as well as in his handling of the Mexican situation. Afro-Americans must not lie supinely by and allow this forthcoming presidential election to catch the race divided. We must, without regard to party politics, defeat this man, or else we will be held in abject slavery, jim crowed from Georgia to Maine during the next four years of his administration. Negro Democrats and Negro Republicans must, for the good of the race, discard party politics and fight this man as they would the white plague. If ever the race cried out for genuine leadership this is truly the day of Diogenes, but can the race find a man who can not be bribed by some minor political job? This question time alone can answer. From the beginning of history, it has been proved that no race of people can succeed without leadership. It has been shown by the annals of history that only compact armies ever conquered an inch of territory, and the modern warfare at present raging in Europe is a lesson for Vro-Americans. It shows what one race of people who are united can do against the combined forces of the world. What are we going to do along lines of racial preparedness to meet the issues accruing from the present war? Our old friends in Congress are all dead or discarded, our people are lynched for go cause whatever, our manhood is humiliated and our womanhood outraged. Yet there is no Moses, no martyr to stand up and say "I care not what course others may take, but as for me, give me the protection that is guaranteed me by the Constitution of the United States fzz ray peope, or give us all death." There should be some kind of a program outlined whereby the factions of the race can meet on a common ground for race betterment. Where are the erudite magazine writers who preach "race equality?" What are these racial geniuses doing for the race? Let them stand up and show what their theories have done for this race. We should send the best available lecturer in the county to every state the Union in 1916 and this will force the race prepare for a struggle for racial existence such as it never before dreamed of. This is a form of educating the masses which must be adopted if the race is to make any headway in this struggle for the survival of theittest. Notwithstanding our many failure and disappointments in our leaders, we must continue to bend our energies toward the development of a man or men whom the entire race has implicit confidence. Our lack of unity gives the other races their opportunity to take advantage of this fatal weakness, and until we overcome this fatal fault, we must overcome the foot of political parties the perpetual foot all of American politics. ARTHUR G. SHAW 147 W 132nd St, New York "Write-ups" in Negro Newspapers To the Editor of the Axe The average Negro's conception of a newspaper is to publish the newspaper is to community, but he does not conceive any difference between local happenings and personal news. To make it plainer we will give an example. I asked Mr. Katz and said, "I want you to make note of my sister's illness (Mrs Y) at 20 K at." In our write up of the local happenings the above local appeared in the next issue of our newspaper. We made it our business paper. X is the paper, X is the paper, and said to him, "Here is that local item you gave us last week" (handing to him the paper). He read it and said, "That is alright. When have some more news I will look you up." We read it and back us. We said, "Give us 8 cents and take the paper home and read it to your sister and others of your family." Mr X replied, "I have as many newspapers now as will have time to read. I will have a paper at xt time you come along—perhaps." And so it goes and infinitum. All kinds of excuses made why he cannot buy a Negro newspaper, when he knows that the newspaper noticed we gave of his sister's illness would not be published in a white newspaper. Another example, Mr. Y met us and said, "My daughter got married last Tuesday evening to Mr. Z, and was a brilliant affair—a swell welcoming man in the house and at home and look at the valuable presents she received. Also I want you to write them up in your newspaper." We said to Mr. Y, "as space in our paper is the same to us as a marriage, we will go to your house to him, we will go to your house to the number of presents your daughter received as bridal gifts, write them up in full including the wedding ceremony, the reception, etc., adding some embellishments to make the affair appear more impressive." Mr. Y with a lot of astonishment, or rather disgust) said—"Why man you must think that am a rich man. I thought your editor would publish this as news that chose Mr. So and So told me that white women can charge anything for marriage or funeral write ups, and I do not understand why you cannot afford to do it without charge." We said: "You try the editor of that white newspaper to give your daughter's marriage a pay off, though you offer to pay him for it, and come and tell us what he said to you, notwithstanding you have been a regular subscriber to his paper for many years. You cannot get him to publish your daughter's marriage in respectful manner as we will take pride in doing." Write newspapers "Anatale," "Uncle," "Major," "Colonel," "Captain, take the place of," "Mr. and," "Mrs." when Negros are named. To our surprise and chagrin, we find Negros who will accept such humiliation in a white newspaper, and pay for it. Nature will write up "fat-footed facts—however appalling. We vouch for the above as being "fat-footed facts—however appalling. NEW DEMOCRACY. (By Loula D. Brandeis) Louis I. Brandeis, whose confirmation as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court is being opposed by some United States Senators on the grounds that the Boston lawyer is too radical to be a member of our highest tribunal, gave the following definition of "New Democracy" at a meeting held recently at Carnegie Hall: "We long for peace; but we begin to see that neither international concessions nor international sanctions can secure peace. Peace can exist only in a world where justice and goodwill reign. Justice and goodwill involve not merely toleration of differences, but the grants of full rights, despite differences. There must be justice and goodwill not only between individuals, but between different people. All people must have equal rights." In the past it has been generally assumed that the full development of one people necessarily involved its domination over others. Strong nationalities are apt to become convinced that by such domination only does civilization advance. Strong nationalities assume their own superiority, and believe that they possess the divine right to subject other peoples to their away. Soon the belief in the existence of such a right becomes converted into a conviction that a duty exists to enforce it. Wars of aggrandizement follow as a natural result of this belief. "This attitude of certain nationalities is the exact correlative of the position which was generally assumed by the strong in respect to other individuals before democracy became a common institution. The strong in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries both in peace and in war, were devoted largely to overcoming that position as to individuals. "In establishing the equal right of every person to development it became clear that equal opportunity for all involves this necessary limitation: Each man may develop himself so far, but, as his doing so will not interfere with the exercise of the right by all others. Thus liberty came to mean the right to enjoy life, to acquire property, to pursue happiness in such manner and to such extent as the exercise of the right in each is consistent with the exercise of a like right by every other of our fellow-citizens. Liberty thus defined underlies twenty century democracy. Liberty thus defined underlies western world. And, even where this equal right of each individual has not yet been accepted as a political right, its ethical claim is gaining recognition. Democracy rejected the proposal of the superman who should rise through sacrifice of the many. It insists that the full development of each individual is not only a right but a duty to society, and that the right for civilization lies not in uniformity but in wide differentiation. "The movements of the last century have proved that whole people have individuals, no less marked than that of the single person, that the individual, that the armed irresponsible, and that the armed nationalism which seeks the obliteration of nationalities of peoples is unattainable. "The new nationalism prohibits that each race or people like each individual, has a right and duty to develop, and that only through such differentiation and specialization be attained. Not until these principles of nationalism, like those of democracy are generally accepted, will liberty be fully attained and minorities be secure in their rights. But there is ground for hope that the establishment of these principles will come as one of the main aims of the present war, and with it the solution of the Jewish problem." LET US LAUGH "Oh!

DREW'S "COME BACK." The "come back" of Howard Drew, who was the hero of the Milrose Athletic Association meet Wednesday evening of last week, has been the talk of the athletic world. In the seventy-yard dash Drew defeated Loomis, the spinner, who outfooted the hero of Springfield, Mass., in the one-hundred yard dash home months ago. Three days before the race at Madison Square Garden Drew told a representative of The Age that he was confident of winning the feature event of the Milrose Athletic Association meet. "I have become several pounds lighter than when I last ran against Loomis, but the loss of a number of pounds has improved, rather than impaired my condition," said the crack spinner. "My first try-outs did not make me very confident, but my last one with Roy Morse has convinced me that I am fit and will be the first over the tape. I know if I defeat Loomis there will be some in California who will set up a howl that I 'threw' the race last year, but I never committed a dishonest act since I have been running. When Loomis beat me I was not in the best of condition. Drew fulfilled his predictions by defeating Loomis and equalling the world's record for seventy yards. Roy Morse, the local colored runner, was second, also defeating Loomis. This is what Walter St. Denis of the Globe has to say about Drew's "come back": Everybody likes a winner. That's always true, but it's particularly so in the case of the stocky colored lad who came back to his own in that wonderful sprint race at the winter athletic carnival of the Millrose Athletic Association on Wednesday night. Howard P. Drew who demonstrated so thoroughly that the "Jeffries theory" does not apply in track athletics, is a national figure in the world of sport. Perhaps it's because we Americans "root" for the under dog that Drew has always been popular with those who follow athletics. The triumphs that Drew has scored have not come easily to him. All through his athletic career he has supported a family. When he attended school at Springfield High the great sprinter was sometimes a bell hop by day. He ran an elevator in a hotel at other times, and later on he worked as a baggage smasher in the Union Station at Springfield. When Drew went west to attend the University of California, some jealous souls out on the coast sought to investigate the methods by which he made his living. This was done ever so quietly, but thoroughly. The investigators bumped into a stone wall when they dug up the fact that Drew toiled at different jobs on the average of seven hours a day outside of his college work. One of the most trying tests of the athlete is that of a great disappointment. Drew had his great disappointment—one that can probably never be retrieved—and he stood the test in a manner that bore credit to himself and his race. He went to Stockholm with the American Olympic team in 1912 an almost sure winner of at least one Olympic title. He so outclassed his American rivals at the 100-metre distance in the tryouts that he toyed with them, winning as he pleased. Then came the preliminary heats at Stockholm, and the Springfield lad found the foreigners just as easy. He took the fastest men in Europe out in his preliminary heat and beat them so badly in the first sixty yards of the straight dash that that distance round him yards ahead, and he eased down for the rest of the distance. It was just the same in the semi-final Drew was a bloom in front when he swpt through it, but he the sprinters bane laid Drew. As he hit the tape a muscle in his leg "pulled," and the prize that was to have been his, with possibly a new world's record to boot, went glimmering. And not a man heard Drew utter the first word of complaint. He went out on the field on the day of the final to warm up, hoping against hope that he might be able to go through. But it was no use. The muscle would not hold him on his toes and Drew, who looked at the sidelines and watch the other follows run for the honor of being the fastest on earth. A fellow who can swallow a pill that without letting out even a little "bleat" has the spirit of real sportsmanship in his makeup. The boys who pay their little 50 cents to watch-the athletes perform appreciate all this, and that's the reason why they almost tore the rafters down in the Garden on Wednesday night when Drew re-registered in one of the latest sprint races ever run in Gotham's old amphitheatre of sport. Waiter St Denis must be a broad-minded man, a true blue American, who believes in giving credit where credit is due. Hundreds of colored Americans have spoken most highly of Mr St Denis' article, and a motion is in order to tender him a vote of thanks. --- "WHEN THE WIFE'S AWAY" CREATES MERRIMENT AT LAFAYETTE. "When the Wife's Away," the three-act sketch presented at the Lafayette Theatre this week by the Anita Bush Stock Company, is an amusing farce showing the members of the cast to marked advantage. In fact, the company since its birth has not been seen in a more favorable light. The female members of the cast participate in a fashion display which is pleasing to all eyes for their costumes are pretty and have been chosen with taste; and, besides, they make several changes during the playlet Eddie Abrahams, a young man of good appearance, made his debut as an actor Monday, attracting favorable attention. The other members of the company, including Mrs. Charles H. Anderson, Carlotta Freeman, Deenie George, Anita Bush, Andrew Bishop, "Dooley" Wilson and Charles H. Gilsin, do themselves proud. Love & Haight, female impressionists, have the most elaborate act of its kind ever seen at the Lafayette Five drone act carried and Love & Haight costume their skit in keeping with the stage settings. They greatly surprise when they make known their identity. Granstaff & Davis pleasingly entertained on cornet and trombone, and Seymour & Burns, with a different costume for every song, open the bill in fine style. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

DANCING AND THE NEGRO Miss Ruth St Denis, who is one of the leading exponents of modern dancing, and who enters the realm of vaudeville this week at the Palace Theatre, New York, has declared that the Negro is the real dancing teacher, and that modern dancers have learned grace and naturalness of movement from him. She so expressed herself in an interview which appeared in the Evening Mail of January 29. Said Miss St Denis: "New York has been a dancing teacher. To him it is a vital and necessary thing to dance. He loves it and gets much joy out of his easy and graceful, if somewhat heavy mode of movement. From the ballet he has learned what underlying grace and naturalness of movement we possess." HAMPTON DEFEATS ST. C (BY WILL ANTHONY MADDEN) In the Hampton-St. Christopher game on Friday night, January 28, the unexpected happened, but it happened so decisively that there wasn't any room left for doubt as to the result. The stage was set for a St Christopher victory, but Hampton was not to be denied. The Virginians, with one victory already over St C., went into that game to win and did so. never leaving any doubt as to their being the best team Hampton outplayed St. Christopher at every turn of the game. The pace and the pace of the Hampton boys were markable—so much so that St C.'s great team work could not get started. In the foul shooting Hampton so far outclassed St. Christopher that there wasn't any comparison. In ability to cover quickly Hampton was St C's master. The way the Hampton players could get down the court and recover the ball after losing it was wonderful. The guarding of both teams was about equal. When it came to shooting it was about a toss-up, as St Christopher scored six field goals and Hampton eight. Both teams missed several "set-ups," but on the whole Hampton was a shade more accurate. Personally I was very much surprised at the exhibition of basketball that St C put up. They showed many flashes of good team work, but the perfect working machine that swamped Alpha 38 to 7 and crushed mighty Howard University was lacking. St Christopher knows a lot of basketball but somehow they tried to get started and they tried to unload their bag of trucks the Hampton guards—in fact, the whole Hampton team—was there to stop them. St C just couldn't get away, as Hampton's speed was too much for them. I remember, though, the days when they could and did "get away" from every team they met, but of course that is another story. In foul shooting St Christopher was a joke. Where was Rose with his 21 out of 22? He wasn't even allowed a chance to shoot. The press agent's work on some of our contemporaries is really funny. In the first half Bradford out-jumped the Hampton center, but in the second half it was practically the reverse as Bradford was just barely able to hold his own. Jenkins played a good guard game for St Christopher and deserves much credit. He intercepted many of Hampton's passes and did practically no fouling at all. He certainly has improved wonderfully as a player since I first brought him to St Christopher. Robbins, who used to be the co-guard with Accoce, now of the "incorporators," played a fair game, but he was far from being the same old guard that he was when working with Accoce at which time they were rated as the best pair of guards in colored basketball. Robbins has showed up greatly. Harold Jenkins at forward showed nothing; in fact he was the poorest player on the team, and how he ever got the preference over his brother Clarence and Fred Lowry is surprising to me. Clarence Jenkins is the best basketball player in the Jenkins family and one of the best in the St. Christopher Club. When Harold Jenkins was taken out and Clarence substituted for him it was a good move, but it was a move that was made too late. Irving Rose was easily the star of the game. In fact, Rose is the only one of the old machine who has not gone back. Rose played his game as he alone can play it, and was all over the court playing guard as well as forward and bringing many of his accurate shots. What he was ever taken out of the game for is beyond me and I wonder if it was the manager or the captain who made the move. However, it was very poor judgment, for after Rose was taken out Hampton shot ahead faster than at any time during the game. Of course I wasn't in the game but I knew Rose was playing well. Then the only thing that could warrant his removal would be his physical condition, but it is hard for me to believe that, as he used to be one of the best conditioned boys in the squad All the Hampton men played for all they were worth, with Gayle, Gunroe and I dawards doing all the scoring Gayle was a tower of strength and scored eleven points Gunroe only played in the second half and scored nine, while Edwards brought four. It was of Edwards was feeling St. Christopher out as they held Gunroe a regular first string man in reserve. After Hampton had not only played St. C to a standstill in the first half, but had also beaten them, the Institute boys turned on their full strength in the second half and crushed St. C. Where was the wonderful Wetzel system? It must have been left in the Parish House, as it certainly was not in evidence at Manhattan Casino. Also, where was Wetzel himself? I remember the time the famous coach rushed to the Casino in a taxicab at the last minute in that great St. Christopher-Howard tie game. Where was the cheering section when the battle was going against St. Christopher? The section was as silent as death. In the old days the great section cheered and sang the hardest when the big red and black team was losing. I simply mention these things because they all came to me in the course of events and I concluded there must be something wrong on the inside. That old St.-Christopher spirit was noticeably lacking. One thing St. Christopher must be given great credit for, and that is the stubbornness and gameness with which they fought after realizing that many things were wrong with the team and that they were losing the game. The boys in red and black certainly died hard with their feet kicking to the very last minute. It was one of those few "best games" that the public once in a while have an opportunity of seeing. It was Hampton's second straight victory over St. Christopher. Another noticeable thing about the whole affair was that the cheers and elation over the Hampton victory plainly showed that it was a Hampton house. In fact, all through the game most everybody was rooting for Hampton. This again raised the question of the boasted popularity of the St. Christopher club. **The Summary** Score at first half—Hampton, 9; St. Christopher, 8. Final score—Hampton, 24.

J.—The famous Vandal Blue and White Machine, champions of South Jersey, humbled the speeds Quaker City boys on Friday evening. January 28, in a well-played game, at Fitzgerald's Auditorium. The final score was 49 to 17. I love the playing of Brissie Howard and Sawyer featured, while Griffin, Haines, and Trent did most of the work for the Y. M. C. A. The losing team only scored two field goals, due to the stonewall defense and the terrific speed of the Vandal guards.

John C Robinson, vice-president of the Scholastic basketball team, Pittsburgh, sends the following account of a game with the Ohio State University team. Pittsburg, Pa. The much-desired has happened in the realm of Pittsburgh athletics. A team of local young ladies firmly established Wednesday evening at Zion Council Hall, in center avenue that Pittsburgh is one of the great centers of basketball. The Scholastic A A meet and rendered the mutual defeat to the strong Ohio State University team. The game was hotly contested throughout. The lowness of the score only signifies the remarkable defensive work on both sides. The teamwork in the second half was somewhat retarded by the large attendance. Undoubtedly this game was the cleanest and most silent game ever played in this section. Both teams were on edge for the game and the remarkable passing executed on either side brought applause from the large crowd. Captain Moore played a remarkable game for the visitors, but the comic capers and clever guarding of Manager Robinson prevented trouble from his section. On the other side of the floor H. Iler was always on the go for the State boys, but "Bion" Jefferson is to be found in the air as well as on the floor. These men showed remarkable ability in clever passing At center was found Howard of the Collegians and Captain Allen of the Scholastics. These two demonstrated that haskettball was played all over the floor Umble Cardwell and Mohr played an excellent game as guards, but the attack of Scholastics' heavy work, although small in size was too much for the Buckeye boys. Roy Anderson was the real star of the game. His accuracy in foul-shooting is not to be denied. He played remarkable as forward, and it is due to the crowd that his total was not any higher. Dial and Wade were up and down the side lines, and it was due to these hows that the Scholastic teamwork was able to show its effect. The final score found Pittsburgh again in the limelight, after experiencing such a distasteful defeat in New York. The game was played in conjunction with the girls game. Capt Mary Prior of the Alpha Sigma girls felt very bad in losing to the All Stars, and states that she will demonstrate to the public that her team really plays basketball. The girls put up a remarkable game and were applauded throughout the entire game. The final score was 15-5. Lineup Ohio State, 5—C. Moore, f; H Tyler, f; Howard, c, L. Umble, g; Cardwell, g. Scholasties, 15—L. Dial, f, R. Anderson, f; J. Allen, c; D. Jefferson, g, J. Robinson, g. Substitutions—Wade for Robinson, Finley for Cardwell, D. Mohr for Umble Mr Robinson makes the following declaration: "The Scholastics are beyond doubt Pittsburgh's strongest team. Were we to have played the Incorporators, Pittsburgh would not have be-littled herself. We play twice a week, whereas the Monticello and Istanbul have the games between them. We have established our superiority over them. We again defy the St. Augustines."

Yonkers Tugers Defeat St. Cyprian Speed Boys. In one of the most exciting games played on the Tigers court this season, the St Cyprian Speed Boys went down to defeat on Saturday night at the hands of the Tigers Orange and Black machine. The game was interesting and well played throughout. The Speed Boys did some nice pass work, but were unable to shoot baskets when they had the chance Cooper was by far the star of the St. Cyprians. The Tigers with Giddings and Blackwell back in the line-up, played a very strong game Morgan played his usual strong game and was the greatest trouble to the Speed Boys Bowser and Hamilton kept the Speed Boys' forwards covered at all times and kept them from scoring. In addition to his great work in guarding, Bowser made two goals from the field. Gulliver replaced Giddings at forward, and although he was outweighed by twenty pounds, he was able to add a few points to the score. Ryerson replaced Morgan and Allen took the place of Blackwell, both playing their positions well. In the preliminary game the Iroquois Speed Boys of Yonkers defeated the Orientals of New Rochelle by the score of 12 to 11. With about 5 minutes to plays the Orientals tried to put in their first team men to save the game, but the Iroquois would not allow it, so the game was called off at this time. Field goals—Morgan, 5. Giddings, 4; Bowser 2. Gulliver 1. Goals from foul—Blackwell 2. Giddings, 1. Reference—Mr. Jackson unpure, Mr. Williams, tuner, Mr. Rux secorer Mr. Taylor time of harvest, 20 minutes.

Ministers and laymen from several of the city churches were present and aided in the rally. The First Congregational Church in this city, pastored by the Rev. P. R Debirry, is a neat brick structure with a Sunday school annex. The basement is being furnished with the necessary paraphernalla for conducting cooking school.

Church last Sunday night was beautifully carried out and witnessed by a large audience. Preceding the candle service, the Rev Gullins treated the audience to an excellent sermon based upon the Ten Virgins—five wise and five foolish. While the five wise virgins robed in white sang sweetly the carol, "Too Late, Too Late," the five foolish virgins behind closed doors chanted a melodious carol asking to be admitted. As the membership roll was being called each came forward and accepted a lighted candle from the white winged angel standing in front of the altar. Should a member fall to answer when called the black winged angel took the candle and extinguished the light. HACKENSACK N J HACKENSAK, N J -The Rev I P E.

IN MEMORIAM STURGES—In loving remembrance of our dear friend, William Gerritsen who denoted this life February 1914 "to live that when they summons comes to join The innumerable caravan that moves To the mysterious realm where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not like a quarry slave at night. Secure his dungeon, but, antiquated and soothed By an unfallering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch And that his dungeon, but, antiquated and soothed Sleep on beloved and take thy rest.
