SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN CREATING WIDESPREAD INTEREST SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN CREATING WIDESPREAD INTEREST The big circulation campaign being conducted by The Age is attracting widespread attention. Readers and future readers of The Age, residing in every section of the country, are taking advantage of the unusual opportunities offered for sixty days, and notifications are that the campaign will go down in history as the greatest of its kind in Negro journalism. To date preference has been shown for the ice-hot bottle with the Bible next in favor. So far members of the gentler sex have shown more interest in the campaign than the men. HAS THE LARGEST VOL. XXIX No. 20 TEXT OF SECRET HAITIAN TREATY If Treaty Is Approved Haiti Practically Becomes Territory of United States WILSON HAS SUPPRESSED TEXT The Administration Has Kept Text of Treaty Secret in Accordance With Its Policy of Secret Diplomacy. GERMANY INTERESTED PARTY Teutons Sought Control of Haitian Customs to Secure Alleged Debts Due German Banks, But Haitians Claimed Some of the Debts Were Invalid - Germany and U. S. Exchanged Sharp Correspondence. Washington, D. C.—Complete control and supervision of the affairs of Haiti by the United States are provided for in the secret treaty negotiated by the State Department following American armed intervention to quell the insurrection in the Negro republic last fall. The text of this treaty has been suppressed by the Administration in accordance with its policy of secret diplomacy. Examination of the text discloses that President Wilson purposes to go much further in the establishment of an American protectorate over Haiti than had been supposed. If the treaty, already ratified by Haiti, be approved by the Senate the island republic will become practically a territory of the United States. The treaty provides: For American supervision of the finances and the collection of customs of Haiti. For American supervision of the payment of the public debt, inquiry into the validity of existing debts and regulation of the contracting of future debts. for the policing of the republic Nation by Americas, USA For intervention by the United States to preserve order and for guaranteeing the territorial integrity and independence of Haiti. For development of Haitian resources under American auspices. An an interference causing the revaluation of invalid debts may bring the United States into collision with German. Future the European war broke out Germany sought control of Haitian affairs as security for debts alleged to be German banks. The Haitians must some of these debts were unpaid. United States informed German would not permit German participation in the control of the Haitian Germany replied sharply that understand no other arrangement.

Nothing could be more appropriate at this time, when the birthday of Abraham Lincoln is at hand, than to reproduce the words of his immortal speech delivered at the dedication of the Gettysburg battle-field. "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this. "But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hollow—this ground. The brave men, living—and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unmished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have did in vain, that this nation, under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

With Republicans of Shelby Co. Tennessee,Organizes Lincoln Republican Club FIGHTING "LILY-WHITEISM" A Determined Effort Is Projected by Negro Republicans to Overthrow the Party Element Composed of White Men Which Wants to Relegate the Race to Political Objection - Negroes of State are United. Special to The New York Asc. MEMPHIS, TENN..Surrounded by a thousand stalwart men, Robt. R. Church, Jr., launched in this city Tuesday night the most significant political organization among colored men in the South since the palmy days of the lions of colored Republicanism. The scene can hardly be described. Suffice to say, the pent up political emotions of a manhood too long subjugated by machination on one hand, and disfranchisement on the other, broke forth in a fury determined to make a place where a place ought to be in the world of politics and government. The organization takes the name of the Lincoln Republican Club, purely political, and embraces every colored man of importance and standing in Shelby County, the Negro's tenting ground. There was no effort to wool the eye or deceive the heart. With a constitutional convention scheduled to be held in Tennessee next year, Robert R. Church and his followers said that they could only stand the storm" through political organization that would extend from the mountains to the "Father of Waters." So the call said the demonstration declared. South's One Leader. Embodying the political hopes of colored men in the South, who are working for the restoration of their rights where they have been denied, and gaining respect for them where they have never been withdrawn, Mr. Church is best fitted in any direction to lead the light for his people against both a white Republican party and a Jim Crow government. And this stirring meeting of a thousand Republicans, nine-tenths of the party in Memphis and Shelby County, is the first shot taken at either that kind of party or that kind of government. His city and county and his State have joined in presenting him as their standard bearer in a contest long postponed, but inevitable both as a death struggle and in the end of it. For the lily white in the South is as certain to pass out as a restored Republicanism is to pass in. Four years ago Mr. Church represented his district in the National Republican Convention. With him as codelegate was H. O. True, a white Republican. True is now so white a Republican that he wants to be known as such. Colored men made him, and, much to his surprise, they are about to unmake him. "We have at last a political leader in the South" declared Sutton L. Griggs, the renowned preacher "Let us sink self and lift him—lift him where he can stand among the giants and say 'I am a voice of millions'." And the cheering shook the famous auditorium. The time seems to have passed for ever when white manipulators of party contentions could play a Negro of some prominence against the colored leaders. For the Lincoln League embraces all the forces in this section—Thomas Hays, Wavian Wilkerson, the resourceful or carver, Dr T J Searay, Bert M Robly, "Little Joe," son of the unmarched political leader, Josiah Settle, who led the forces four years ago, and John Grant the fighting elder. Backing these men who are backing Mr Church are a directorate of 150 stalwarts who feel that their "mourning days will soon be over." 10,000 Members by Fall. While the Lincoln Club, aiming at 10,000 members by fall is a Memphis and a Tennessee organization, it is already the accepted nucleus of an organization of colored Southerners who saw political emancipation in the stars in the recent decision of the Supreme Court declaring that the "erandfather's clause" in disfranchising laws was an open assault upon Federal Constitution. A hundred thousand more colored men will vote in the Presidential election than have voted in twenty years. "Here we lost our power," said the Rev J. S. Lee, once a giant in South Carolina, "and here we must reclaim it. The great leaders of the party in the nation" went on Dr. Lee, he said in so many words to our Royal bound in the tell. "I show us that colored Republicans will fight for a place in the political sun, and we will fight with them." In a year of political upheaval it may be that the Republican party of the South will stand on its feet. One think is certain, the Democratic party has fallen in on fraud. THE LEGEND OF THE WORLD'S FIRST WORLD WAR FROM A SPEECH BY FREDERIC DOUGLAS AT LOUISVILLE, KY., SEPTEMBER, 1883. FROM A SPEECH BY FREDERIC DOUGLAS AT LOUISVILLE, KY., SEPTEMBER, 1883. "If the six million of colored people in this country, armed with the Constitution of the United States, with a million votes of their own to lean upon, and millions of white men at their backs whose hearts are responsive to the claims of humanity, have not sufficient spirit and wisdom to organize and combine to defend themselves from outrage, discrimination and oppression, it will be idle for them to expect that the Republican party on any other political party will organize and combine for them, or care what becomes of them." (FROM A MAGAZINE ARTICLE. 1886.) "The question is whether the white man can ever be elevated to that plan of justice, humanity and Christian civilization which will permit Negroes, Indians and Chinamen, and other darker colored races to enjoy an equal chance in the race of life. It is not so much whether these races can be made Christians as whether white people can be made Christians. The Negro is few, the white man is many. The Negro is weak, the white man is strong. In the problem of the Negro's future, the white man is therefore the chief factor. He is the potter; the Negro is the clay. It is for him to say whether the Negro shall become a well-rounded, symmetrical man, or be cramped, deformed and dwarfed. A plant deprived of warmth, moisture and sunlight cannot live and grow. And a people deprived of the means of an honest livelihood must wither and die. All I ask for the Negro is fair play. Give him this, and I have no fear for his future. The great mass of the colored people in this country are now, and must continue to be, in the South; and there, if anywhere, they must survive or perish. "It is idle to suppose these people can make any larger degree of progress in morals, religion and material conditions, while their persons are unprotected, their rights unsecured, their labor defrauded, and they are kept only a little beyond the starving point." Special to The New York Act Atlanta, Ga. Miss Hendla Driscoll, 22 years old, a daughter of the late Lew Driscoll of Milledgeville, Ga., attempted suicide by leaping from a second story widow of her home at 60 Irwn street this city, where she lives with her mother. She was taken to Grady Hospital where an examination revealed no broken bones, though there may be internal injuries. She refused to ascribe a motive for the act NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ORGANIZED A number of skilled men and women assembled last Sunday evening at the Purple Friendship Shutter, 110 West 11th street for the purpose of laying the foundation of a second Presbyterian Church in the city of New York. The gathering was organized into the Washington Memorial Presbyterian Church, with Dr. W R Lawson in charge. Several important committees were appointed and it was decided that evening services will be held at the above address at 8 o'clock every Sunday in til further notice. The Sunday School will begin on the first Sunday in March, at 2 p.m. with a complete corps of teachers. The following is the open letter from the new work to the public "The Washington Memorial Presbyterian Church offers the public a service simple, dignified, thoughtful and impressive, a church truly republican in its form of government to be offered by men who enjoy the confidence of the community. A church where true Christian manhood and independence will be encouraged and respected. A church whose influence for Christian fellowship will be seen and felt in its sympathy and love for one and all. We extend the invitation, 'Come with us and we will do the good' to all who are seeking a church home—a place of peace, comfort and RESERVED SEATS HELD UNTIL 8 30 O'CLOCK Notice is given to holders of reserved ticket for the Carnegie Hall Washington Memorial Meeting on Friday night, February 11, that states will be reserved only 8:30 o'clock p.m. After that hour all unoccupied seats will be filled by the general public. Akron, N.C.-Miss. Martha Schofield founder and head of the Schofield Institute this city, is dead aged 76 years. She came here just fifty years ago and founded this school for the education of Negro children and she has labored unceasing, ever since, building up a great institution. Her death was sudden and unexpected. She was a Quaker in religion, coming from Philadelphia, Pa., and her body was returned to that city for burial. NEGRO DEEP WATER Special to the New York Times Norfolk Va William E. Booker Queen street, is a deep water diver. In a recent examination by the United States Civil Service Commission, he attained an average of 90 per cent, said to be the highest mark ever attained in a similar examination. The Labor Board of the Philadelphia Navy Yard in transmitting to him its report on the examination, stated that the nearest compitor in the same examination had a mark of 70 per cent. Mr. Booker was employed on the occasion of the Gen Shum steamboat Lester in New York some years ago and in one day's time brought to the surface 360 lobes. His record for deep diving is 110 feet, made on the occasion of an accident between Norfolk and New York. He has been employed by the government on many occasions, and is kept busy by local interests in and around Norfolk especially the Railroad. PRICE FIVE CENTS SITE ACQUIRED FOR Y.M.C.A. New Building Will be Located at 179-183 West 135th Street, Near 7th Avenue WILL COST AT LEAST $185,000 Appropriation for Site, Building and Equipment Will Approximate from $185,000 to $200,000—Work Starts May 1. NAIL & PARKER HANDLE DEAL Negotiations for Purchase of Proposed Site Were Left Entirely to Real Estate Firm of Young Colored Men by Y. M. C. A. Officials-Building Will be in Center of Large Negro Population. That the new building for the use of the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A., of which James L. Jamieson, Jr., is secretary, will be located west of Lenox avenue is practically an assured fact. The 1 of Nail & Parker, Real Estate Brokers property located at 179 to 183 West 135th street has been agreed upon, all the preliminaries have been arranged, and only the actual passing of title remains, and that is scheduled to occur today (Thursday). It is a satisfactory outcome of the contest waged by the colored committee, which insisted upon a central location for the new building, in order that the largest possible number of men could be reached by the association's activities. This point of view was finally accepted by those who at first saw differently, and the decision to locate on the side referred to above is agreeably unanimous. The new building will be located in what is practically the center of a population of 50,000 Negroes, and it is asserted that the building will be accessible to a large number of colored men than any other Y.

It is believed that this will mean a largely increased membership and a consequent expansion of usefulness. In fact, one of the active members of the association car- tions for membership to a meeting of the branch on Tuesday night. The site agreed upon adjoins the property owned by St Philips P. E. Church, and the frontage represented in the two properties, 475 feet, covers the whole block except for something over 200 feet. The New York Public Library is at the eastern end of the block. The new Y. M. C. A. building will create a new atmosphere and better conditions and help to make this one of the best residential blocks in the city. This was one of the strong facts considered and urged by the colored committee in advancing the claims of this location. The new site is located 150 feet east of Seventh avenue, the Chelsea Savings Bank occupying the Seventh M. JAMES L. JAMIESON, Jr. Secretary, 53rd Street Branch, Y. M. C. A. avenue corner, and covers an area 75 by 100 feet. The buildings now upon the property are under lease until the first of May, when possession will be given the Y. M. C. A. It is said that already bids are being received for the demolishing of the buildings. The material will be disposed of as none of it will be available for the proposed new building Negotiations for the property have been pending for about a year. Charles H. Southard was the owner of 179-181 West 135th street, and Freuda Lewin owned 183. The Southard property has not changed hands in twenty-five years, Mr Southard purchasing the land and erecting the buildings which occupy that site, and he has retained the ownership The other property has been owned by Freuda Lewin for ten years. The erection of the new building will begin, it is thought, as soon after May 1 as the old buildings can be demolished. It is entirely probable that the new building will be ready for occupancy by the end of the year. The amount appropriated for the acquisition of the site, erection of the building and its furnishings will approximate $185,000 to $200,000 There will be every facility for Y M C A. work, and the building will compare in convenience, equipment and appearance with any of the buildings recently erected in Greater New York. The plans of the proposed building contemplate the inclusion of all the main features of general Y M C A work considerable space being intended for a gymnasium and swimming pool There will also probably be a bowling alley, club rooms for members' organizations, class roots reading rooms with one or two floors titted up for sleeping, with probably one hundred to one hundred and twenty bedrooms. It is contemplated also to provide a distinct equipment for the boys' work, with a separate entrance from the street. The architect has been instructed to prepare definite plans, with these ideas in mind All negotiations for the purchase of this property were handled by the firm of Nail & Parker, real estate agents. at 145.

He believes that the settle- ment of the Y M C A officials upon a site will greatly strength- en the work and that the effect of it will be felt at once The firm of Nail & Parkers, brokers for the A M C A, is composed of John E. Nail and Henry C Parker. The firm began business in December, 1907, occupying one room at 25 West E3rd street. After two years they moved to the present local tion, where they occupy palatial quarters and have a large force employed. Besides handling the St. Philips purchase, which amounted to $1,070,000, which property they have handled as agents ever since, the firm has negotiated a number of other large and important deals. They handled the deal whereby the McDonough Memorial Hospital Association acquired the property at 22 West 133rd street for hospital purposes. The handsome residence at 2309 Seventh avenue was purchased for Bert A. Williams, the famous comedian, and more than $6,500 were spent by the firm for improvements before Mr. Williams took possession. The property is worth $20,000 The house adjoining at 2307, was also acquired for the dentist. Dr. Alfred Robinson. The firm manages as agents properties belonging to the St Philips Church, with a total rent roll of about $75,000 yearly, giving the church a handsome profit; also properties of the Excelsior Savings Bank, 23rd and 6th avenue, the D A Cushman Realty Co; Max Marks, a big real estate operator, the East River Savings Bank, one of the strongest banks in New York, and a number of others. Rentals are handled amounting to about $750,000 yearly. Besides this, the firm is frequently called upon to do expert appraising for some of the biggest and wealthiest trust companies and investors in the city. Their knowledge of realty conditions and same business ability gives value to any opinion they advance. A recent operation involved the appraisement of a block of non-productive property on Seventh avenue, in which they were asked to give a plan by which the property could be made productive, as well as to fix its value. When the elevated station at 99th street was under consideration, the firm was retained by neighborhood interests to appear before the Public Service Vice Commission and present arguments as to why the station should be built. In presenting this testimony, the firm showed how the city would benefit from increased taxation, and at the same time there would be an increased general benefit to the locality. Their opinion has been confirmed since the building of the station. Mr. Parker is also chairman of the property committee of the Colored Branch of the Y M C A HAIR DRESSING PARLOR Miss Stena Rogans: Graduate from the Madame C. J. Walkers Lilia College of New York.

Washington memorial exercises will be held; it is not the purpose, in holding these exercises, merely to culo- gize in eloquent but empty words .the memory of a great man. Nothing would be more out of keeping with Booker T. Wash- ton’s philosophy and practice than a meeting of that sort. The _ purpose of the exercises is to start a movement to raise a permanent memorial to the name of the dead Teader. ~" Neither is.it planned to have this memorial ‘take the form of matble ordiranze; that would also be out of keeping with Washing- ton’s philosophy: and practice. It is planned to raise an endowment of $2,000,000, a sum which will in- oes oe Pee of Tuskegee I fe and its work. '.Nothing more fitting than: this could be done to commemorate the name of Booker T. Washington. It is also planned that of this $2,000,000, the sum of $250,000 be raised from among the colored people. Considering the facts that Washington was one of us, that the benefits of Tuskegee In- stitute are almost exclusively for us, and that there are more than ten million of us in the country, the sum of $250,000 seems to be a small enough proportion of the whole amount to be raised. For weeks, through the press, ‘from the pulpit and in public meetings, the race has been laud- ing the name and praising the work of Booker T. Washington. It is now up to us to see how many of these words can be turned into deeds. | $250,000 is a lot of money, but when we consider the purpose to which it is to Be put and the num ber of people who ought to con- tribute, it is not so much. There are more than ten million colored people in the United States. If 250,000 of them should give $1 a piece, the requested amount would be realized. Or if 500,000 should give 60 cents a piece, or 1,000,000 give 25 cents a piece, or 2,600,000 give ten cents a piece, the same result would be accom- plished. If there are not 250,000 colored people out of the ten or twelve millions in the United States willing to contribute an average of $1 each for such a pur- pose as.tle one outlined above, the race can well be charged with forfeiting the right to claim the fame of Booker-T. Washington or aay proprietary interest in the great institution which he found- ed. Let the colored people of great- er New York attend the meeting at Carnegie Hall to-morrow night and let each one be prepared to give or pledge some amount, whether large or small, to this memoriat fund. It is now up to us to make good by giving our portion of this sum, $250,000. PIEWS ~——__—REVIEWS. Jauzs W. Jounsow, ConrarBuTine Eosroz. PPP PILI ALL ALLL LAL LOL AD ALA PLP API GOD AND THE WAR. Ane question OF a personal (rod directing and intervening im the affairs of men carries with itself many puzzling phases.’ The ques- tion is an old one, but the present war has renewed its discussion. All-great tatastrophies have had the same result, but. the war, be- cause of its prolonged hosror, has made the Christian world ponder upon this vexing problem longer than would an earthquake or a cyclone. When Satz:Francigeo was destroyed by earthquake and fire, the theologians argued. See the disaster fittéd into the.divine plan be- cause its effect was to deepen and open the well-springs of love and human brotherhood throughout the world. That was its effect, beyond any question. Millions of hearts which, perhaps, had never been touched before were softened to sympathy and pity. Thou- jsands‘of people learned their first lesson of generous sacrifice, and deprived themselves in order to send their mite to aid those who were suffering. Of course, the skeptic will cynically remark that the cause was entirely out of proportion to the effect; that any’ being with the power to cause an earthquake could find some lesser means of promoting fove and’br@therhood among men. . We must admit that the skeptic’s position is hard to meet, It is contradictory to the'finite mind to think of an all powerful being ruthlessly destroying a great city, and bringing suffering and death to miany innocent and helpless"human beings in order to teach the lessons of sympathy and love. We can only say to the skeptic that the question is not one for finite minds. We can only fall back on what we know to be the law of the universe, that in the development of the universal plan, the individual does not count. -\n analogous argument was offered to harmonize the sinking of the Titanic with divine oversight of a personal nature, In that instance the soul of the whole human race was stirred and exalted by the examples of heroism and self-sacrifice on the part of those who were saved and those whoewent down, There is no doubt that mankind was nobler directly after than it was directly before the sinking of the Titanic. But when we attempt to place the war in the category with the destruction of San Francisco and the sinking of the Titanic, the question of divine plan is not so easily answered. The most apparent effects of the war is to stir up the worst emotions of the human heart; hatred, vengeance and Brutality. Of course, there are deeds of heroism and seli-sacrifice, but they are lost and overwhelmed in the general effect which the war. produces. . The Christian world might dodge the whole question by saying that the war, unlike the destruction of San Francisco and the sinking of the Titanic, is no part of divine plan, but it is not doing that. The German people believe that God and the Kaiser will lead them to victory. The Russian people believe that God and the Czar will defend them. The English people now -chant “God save the King” with more faith and fervor than ever before in their national existence. Only the French people seem to feel that what they do depends absolutely upon themselves. ; And so the world is endeavoring to meet the vexing problem of harmonizing the horrors of the war with divine personal oversight. In this connection we wert struck by an article by Dr. Crane in ‘The Globe.” Dr. Crane is an able writer. This article was in the form of a prayer “to be said in all churches.” It was well written, as is everything that Dr Crane writes We quote‘only the last few paragraphs: | Help us, O divine Father, to better ways. Make every priest and preacher to thunder against war, the apostasy of the world. Make every believer in God to refuse to take up arms to kill his neighbor. Deepen the conscience of mankind until it shall revolt: against wholesale and organized cruelty, destruction, and murder, even as the indyyidual. Enlarge our patriotism until it shall mean humanity. Change the spirit of our nationalisms until they co- aperate and cease to contend. Show all men there can be no true worship of the All Father without love for All Brothers. This plague and madness of war 19 too deep in our blood, too intrenched in history and custom, too stupefying in its hold upon men’s minds, too filled with passions that seem glorious but are really monstrous, too strong in every way, for reason to prevail against them, Nothing but Thine Almighty Spirit can cleanse this frightful poison from the world’s heart. Come then, God of all races, creeds, and nations, God of our common human kind, and cause in us such a loathing and detestation toward war that it may nevet again afflict Thine earth. Ament As noble and elevated as is this prayer, it seems to us that it only complicates the problem. As an address to men, these words hold an inspiration for humanity to reach out for a higher level; as an address to God, they not only place the responsibility of the war upon God, but picture Him as idly watching the carnage, and waiting for men to send up a mumbling petition to incline Him to stop it. “BETWEEN TWO STOOLS.” The President has finished his tour through the West; and, ac- cording to appearances as reflected in the newspapers, he has suc- ceeded in awakening that section of the country to the importance and necessity of national preparedness; at least, it can be said with certainty that his speeches attracted large crowds and raised consid- erable enthusiasm. Just what part of the crowds and how much of the enthusiasm was due to the fact that a President of the United States, especially on his first tour as such, is the biggest drawing card in the country would be difficult to determine. But there is no doubt that-2 great many of the people who greeted Mr. Wilson and applauded what he had to say, did so merely because of his exalted position.

KICKING HIM IN : | when a wise man suddenly turns to an opinion in direct conflict with what he previously expressedas his sincere conviction, the world does not always give him credit for wisdom alone. A few months ago the President was seriously expressing the belief that the influence of the United States upon the world, espe- cially during this time of bloodshed and brutality, should be moral and not physical ; that the Great Republic should stand out as a hope and a proof to all the peoples of the earth that a nation can live by peace; yet on his tour he gave utterance to words more alarming than anything the most avowed militarists have said. So it is not strange that many thoughtful men are speculating upon the reason for the President’s change of mind. Some feel that he has carefully weighed the whole matter, and used the prerogative of a wise man and changed his opinion, Others feel that Mr. Wilson believes he is now interpreting the will of the people, regardless of his.own senti- ments. Many feel that the President is simply playing politics. ‘There is no need for speculation; the President himself in his Chicago speech, according to the special corespondent of “The Even- ing Post,” stated clearly why he is now advocating a policy directly opposite to what he advocated a few months ago. Here is the rea- son summed up in the following paragraph: “It is not a happy circumstance," he said to his Chicago "audience, “to have these tense moments of national necessity arise, and yet I, for my part, am not sorry that this necessity has arisen. It has awakened me, myself, I frankly confess to you, to many things and many conditions which a year ago I did not realize. I did not realize then that the things were possible which have since become actual facta. I am glad that I know better than I knew then exactly the sort of world we are living in.” In the above words Mr. Wilson plainly indicates that he did not arrive at his present position through any cerebral processes, but rather by a rude awakening. He has had an experience similar to that of Saul at his conversion; he has seen a tight. He makes a rather naive confession to a degree of innocence, of simplicity, of, we are tempted to say, greenishness which one would hardly expect in 9 man of his years and learning. ‘He frankly says that he is glad that he knows what sort of a world we live in; which is tantamount to saying that up to within less than a year ago he did not know | It is only natural that thoughtful people should speculate upon the reason for the President’s change of front. . It is also natural | that they should speculate as to the probable result upon his political future. Has the President bettered his political chances? We think not. Tt is certain that he has lost the allegiance of those who have been his chief support through the crises of the past cight months, those who do not believe that the United States could adopt a policy of military preparedness. On the other hand, has he captured the advocates of preparedness? This is very doubtful. We believe that Mr. Wilson could have gone before the country next fall a much stronger candidate upon a platform of peace and anti-preparedness than he will now go as an cleventh-hour preparedness candidate. The President has lost his hold upon the anti-preperadness cle- ment, and he is not decisive enough, not enough the man of action to suit the advocates of preparedness. In a word it strikes us that] he te between two stools. A FOOLISH THING. The newspapers of the Pacific Coast are filled with the news of the élopement of a Mrs. Viola Hood, a white woman 26 years of age. and the wife of a San Diego hotel proprietor, with Raymond Dodds, her colored chauffeur. The first accounts were to the effect that Dodds had threatened the whole Hood family with death, and that Mrs. Hood ran away with him to save the others, But in an interview given out in Salt Lake, Mrs. Hood declares that she will not return home and that she loves Dodds and will marry him as soon as he gets out of jail. | But just why Dodds is in jail is not made clear. It is hinted that he will be tried under the White Slave Act; but, since the woman declares that she furnished all of the money for the trip, even for buying Dodds’ clothes, it does not appear that the Mann law has been violated. Mrs, Hood thas done an ex- tremely foolish thing; however, the case furhishes a question for those socioldgists who talk about “the immutable laws sajictioned by nature” and “the impassable barrier fixed by God.” A WORTHY CAUSE. Elsewhere we publish a letter from the Principal of the Mather Industrial School of Beaufort, S. C. We heartily commend to our eeaders the cause for which this letter makes an appeal. | Beaufort and the surrounding islands form, perhaps, the most unique Negro community in this country. The entire population of 30,000 is almost enirely com- posed of colored people. This colored population, on account of the small number of whites and because it is cut off from the mainland has retained more of the primitive characterists of the race than any other group of colored people in the country. In the retention of many of these racial- characteristics the people of these islands are fortu- nate. However, with this isola- tion js naturally coupled lack of educational facilities; so we are sure that no school is .placed TUSKEGEE INST.

BEN DAVIS' ORDERS TO GEORGIA ODD FELLOWS As "Secretary Endowment,' instructs Lodges that Dues Must be Sent Him D. G. L IS UNDER GEORGIA LAWS Declares that S.-C. M. Has No Authority to Receive Endowment Dues for Georgia Corporation, and that the Policies of those Members Who Send Money to S.-C. M. will Lapse After Two Months. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. VILANTA, GA.—Further developments in the case of the District Grand Lodge of Georgia, G. U. O. O. F., indicates that Benj. J. Davis holds the whip-hand so far as the Endowment Bureau and the value of the endowment policies are concerned. In a card to members of the Order in Georgia, which he signs as "Secretary Endowment," Mr. Davis instructs the members of the endowment bureau that a failure to remit dues for a period of two months will cause the lapsing of their policies. On the other hand, Mr. Davis calls attention to the fact that members of lodges whose secretaries refuse to send endowment dues to his office have the privilege of making personal remittances direct. His card is as follows: NOTICE It comes to my attention that some lodges are refusing to send their members' dues to this office on account of the decision of the S. C. M., and that certain members of certain lodges are advising lodges and members not to pay endowment to this office. This is to advise the members of each and every lodge that in each and every case where permanent secretary refuses to send your endowment to this office, send it directly and we will receipt the individual for his individual endowment just the same as we would receipt the lodge. Every individual has the right to pay his endowment dues and no lodge has a right to refuse him the opportunity of paying them through the lodge. But in case a lodge should refuse them, the individual is advised to send his dues and obligations directly to the secretary of the corporation. We are informed that some lodges are sending their endowment dues to the S. C. M. The S. C. M. has no more authority to receive money belonging to the Georgia corporation than the Georgia corporation has authority to receive money belonging to the S. C. M. The policies of all members who send their money to the S. C. M. will be lapsed if they neglect to remit their dues here for two months. I take notice and govern yourselves accordingly. No member, will lose his policy or any of his property rights who pays his dues to this office either through his lodge or individually, and those who do not pay their money to this office either individually or through his lodge will lose out. Yours fraternally, B J. DAVIS, Secretary Endowment. The Endowment Policies. The Atlanta Independent of February 5, prints a two-column editorial, in which it treats of the Bureau of Endowment of the Georgia Odd Fellows, as it is affected by the action of the Subcommittee of Management's recent decision, revoking the charter of District Grand Lodge, No. 18. The Independent make the unqualified assertion that the S.-C.-M. is without jurisdiction in the premises and that its action is null and void. The claim is made than only the B. M. C. has any jurisdiction over the endowment proposition. It is further claimed by the Independent that the revoking of the charter cannot affect the corporate rights granted under the charter from the Fulton Superior Court. The editorial reads: Admitting for, the sake of the argument that the S. C. M. had the right to revoke our charter, it would not affect in the least our corporate rights granted under the charter from Fulton Superior Court. The Odd Fellows of Georgia transact their business, pass their rules and regulations in the name of the corporation, the corporation having the very same name as the friendly society. This the Odd Fellows of Georgia have been doing for the last fifteen years with the knowledge, sanction and co-operation of the S. C. M. and it has offered no objections, but has acquiesced in and concurred to the transaction of business in Georgia by and in the corporation's name. The S. C. M. has collected tax from, borrowed money and paid it in. We have also paid the have paid the S. C. M. checks of the corporation, signed by the corporation, and it is late now for the Sub-Committee to come in on its own motion, without petition from anybody, and revoke our charter or attempt to withdraw our war, after having winked at and dealt with us for fifteen years. The Committee is estopped by its own acquiescence and co-operation, approval and endorsement of our corporate authority. D. G. L. is Under Georgia Laws. The District Grand Lodge, as an unincorporated society, has neither money, property nor responsibility in Georgia, and the District Grand Lodge, incorporated under the laws of Georgia, swans all the property, all the money and carries all the responsibility and liability to the policyholders. The Independent does not even admit that the S. C. M. had the power to do away with and abolish the officers of the friendly or unincorporated society. The B. M. C. created the District Grand Lodge, the S. M. C. has no power to be unaware of the S. M. C. being a creature of the B. M. C. along in common with the District Grand Lodge. Our District Grand Lodge is the creature of Georgia laws and will be controlled and subject to Georgia law as interpreted by Georgia courts. So continue to pay your endowment and nothing will happen to your insurance or to your property. We are under the jurisdiction of the courts, and the courts will insist that the business of the Order be run without interference according to the rules provided by the corporation. This we are, endeavoring to do, and all parties are enjoined and restrained from interfering. The man who advises a lodge or brother not to pay his dues into the jurisdiction of the court, in the opinion of The Independent, is interfering and subjecting himself to be ruled for contempt. Then every Odd Fellow in Georgia ought to have sufficient pride in our Order and race and in its achievements and accumulation of wealth to extract its interest and do his duty under the people outside the State, who are attempting to hold hands upon our savings of a lifetime, have to lose. We have all to lose, and the few plant tools in the hands of men higher up who are seeking for selfish ends and purposes to destroy your property and officers, are bold in their assertions that they want to get even, that is all; that they care nothing for policies, nothing for property or rights. What they want to do is to get even, and if it were not for the Georgia charter, possibly these schemers and wreckers would have succeeded. Let us like men acquit ourselves well, and stand upon our rights as we understand them and as interpreted by the courts of our State. Text of Secret Haitian Treaty Text of Secret Haitian Treaty (Continued from page one) with reference to all eventual debts, recommend improved methods of collecting and applying the revenues and make such other representations to the Minister of Finance who may be deemed necessary for the welfare and prosperity of Haiti. Must Not Increase Debt The Republic of Haiti shall not increase its public debt except by previous agreement with the President of the United States, and shall not contract any debt or assume any financial obligation unless the ordinary revenues of the republic available for that purpose, after defraying the expenses of the government, and after the interest and provide a sinking fund for the final discharge of such debt. The Haitian government obligates itself, for the preservation of domestic peace, the security of individual rights and full observance of the provisions of this treaty, to create a national police, constabulary, urban and rural, composed of native Haitians. This constabulary shall be organized and officered by Americans, appointed by the President of Haiti, upon nomination by the President of the United States. The government of Haiti agrees not to surrender any of the territory of the Republic of Haiti by sale, lease or otherwise, or jurisdiction over such territory to any foreign government or power, nor to enter into any treaty or contract with any foreign government or powers that will involve or lend to impair the independence of Haiti. The Republic of Haiti, being desirous to further the development of its natural resources, agrees to undertake and execute such measures as in the opinion of the high contracting parties may be necessitated by the improvement of the republic, under the supervision and direction of an engineer or engineers to be appointed by the President of Haiti upon nomination by the President of the United States and authorized for that purpose by the government of Haiti. The high contracting parties shall have authority to take such steps as may be necessary to insure the complete attainment of any of the objects comprehended in this treaty; and should the necessity occur, the United States will lend an efficient aid for the preservation of the maintenance of a government adequate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty. ROBERT R. CHURCH, JR. HEADS NEW MOVEMENT (Continued from page one) without protest, the last time. What is the motto of the new organization? one may ask, for colored organizations always arrange for a motto. There is one, but it is new in speech though old in heart: "Pay Your Poll Tax and Register - Be Men!" That rattles the dry bones in the valley. Mr. Church's co-leaders in the state, all white—Saundera, Hooper, Beasley and John Overall—know what it all means for the last time they have called the Negro "sweetheart" and got away with it. The Memphis movement has the moral support of all the big colored leaders through the central South. They have discovered in Robert R. Church, Jr. the kind of man around whom they can fight and the only man they've got who has the time, the ability and the money to make the battle front the year around. And only that kind of leader can oppose the lilies that "toil not." Genius Set the Stage. A political platform that welcomes Geo. W. Cooper, Chas. Wilson, the Rev. W. Moseley, Dr. T. J. Searcy, Chas. Bowles and Father Livingstone at one time is a platform of victory over division. It took a genius to set the stage, but the stage was set. The team organized as newer before, the lines drawn more tightly drawn than ever before. No one will now say that a Negro will not turn up as a member of the Constitutional Convention. No one, on the other hand, is fraid to say that in the next Republican National Convention of the "famous sixth" will be represented by Republicans and not by "the heart that bleeds to sign the roll." Officers of the Lincoln Republican Club are: R. R. Church, Jr., president; T. H. Hayes, Wayman Wilkerson, Levi McOy, vice-presidents; J. T. Settle, Jr., secretary; B. M. Roddy, treasurer. Executive Committee: C. R. Bowles, Wayman Wilkerson, T. H. Hayes, F. M. Nesbitt, J. T. Settle, Jr., William Burrows, Levi McOy and R. R. Church, Jr. Intelligent colored men in the South and Republican leaders "everywhere know that the array of Republican leaders will subdue foes within whilst wrestling with foes without. FLORIDA CORPORATION HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING Jacksonville, Fla.—The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Florida Home and Investment Corporation (the Union Investment Company and the business of the Florida Home and Investment Corporation, consolidated), was held at the office, 4411 Broad street, on January 26. The majority of the stockholders of the corporation were present. The secretary read his report covering the business done by the Corporation. The treasurer's and manager's reports were embodied in the secretary's report. All of those present were well pleased with the operation of the affairs of the corporation. The Rev. Toombs McLendon of Washington, Ga., who is a stockholder and a director of the corporation, was present and made a very interesting speech, pointing out the splendid showing the institution had made and its future possibilities. Chas. H. Anderson, cashier of the Anderson & Co. bank, who is one of the largest stockholders of the corporation, made a strong appeal to all of those present to subscribe for more stock in the corporation. Several of those present subscribed for additional stock. The corporation has ten thousand acres of Bradford county fertile farm land, sub-divided into five, ten, twenty and forty acre farms. The location is unsurpassed for fruit, truck, general farming, stock raising and dairying. The lots are to be sold at low prices. They are within easy reach of large markets and give a combination of soil and climate, with a growing season of four months of the year. This affords a wide range of possibilities for the investor. The mid-winter vegetable gardens and orange groves are very profitable. The corporation owns also a large amount of city property in the heart of Jacksonville. The following gentlemen were elected as officers and directors of the corporation: Dr. M. F. McCleary, president (physician and surgeon), Jacksonville, Fla. The Rev. J. E. Ford, vice president (minister), Jacksonville, Fla. Dr. S. L. Warren, vice president (minister), Durham, N. C. The Rev. A. C. Porter, vice president (minister), Jacksonville, Fla. J. M.

WATERBURY BUSINESS LEAGUE IN SESSION Waterbury, Conn.—The Waterbury Negro Business League, Incorporated, held its ninth annual stockholders meeting Tuesday evening, February 1. in the offices of J. E. Keford, secretary and general manager. The secretary reported a prosperous year and a four per cent. dividend was declared by President Miller II H. A. Hatcher and Wm. Brown were elected directors to serve five years. Mr. Keford spoke at length on the death of the national president, Dr. Booker T. Washington, and read the resolutious adopted by the directors and sent to the family of Dr. Washington. The Directors will meet the first Monday in March, at which time the officers of the league will be elected for one year. The league owns some valuable property, valued at $12,000, and has total assets of $12,562.84. TENNESSEE FARMERS HELF FOR PEONAGE Memphis, Tenn.-Frank Chambers and his two sons, Russell and Ben, white farmers of Fayette county, were brought to Memphis by Federal officers, charged with peonage. It is alleged that the men kept colored tenants from leav- ing their plantation, and the charges also involve conscienceless deuchery of young Negro girls by the same white men and their friends. United States District Attorney Fisher caused the arrests, and United States Commissioner George H. Poole will hold the men in $2,500 bail. There are twelve witnesses for the government. STATE ASSEMBLY PAYS Alhany, N. Y.—On the occasion of the death of the daughter of H. A. Spencer, for nineteen years an attacke of the Speaker's office of the State Assembly Majority Leader Adler introduced a resolution of sympathy for Mr. Spencer and his family, which was adored by the unanimous vote of the Assembly. Assemblyman John G. Malone, who nineteen years ago worked with Mr. Spencer in the Speaker's room, added his personal tribute. DR. WASHINGTON ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN AT SPRING-FIELD, ILL., 1910. "As a race we are learning, I believe in an increasing degree, that the best way for us to honor the memory of our ancestors is by seeking to imitate him. Like Lincoln, the Negro race should seek to be simple, without bigotry and without ostentation. There is great power in simplicity. We, as a race, should, like Lincoln, have moral courage to be what we are, and not pretend to be what we are not. We should keep in mind that no one can degrade us except ourselves; that if we are worthy, no influence can defeat us. Like other races, the Negro will often meet, obstacle, often be sootly tried and tempted; but we must keep in mind that freedom, in the broadest and highest sense, has never been a bequest; it has been a conquest. In the final test, the success of our race will be in proportion to the service that it renders to the world. In the long run, the badge of service is the badge of sovereignty. "Gradually but surely the relations between the black man and the white man in the Southern States are growing more satisfactory. You must not be deceived in this respect. One difficulty is that the North hears of the worst that takes place in the South between races, but rarely hears of the best that takes place in the South. Go into any Southern community as I go, get into the real life of the people, and you will find that every Negro has his white friend, and every white man has his Negro friend, and it would have been in possible for the Negro to have made the material progress that I have indicated unless he had in every community in the South white people to help him, stand by him and protect him. In the last analysis, the average black man is more like the best white people in this country than any foreign race that comes here. We have more elements in common with him. We profess the same religion, speak the same language, wear the same clothes and eat the same kind of food. And, best of all, we love the institutions of this country as no foreigner can, and the best people of this country realise that." Hopkinsville, Ky.-Attorney Walter Robinson has been named by the City Commissioners as deputy city assessor. The work will require all of his time, his district: being east of the railroad and north of Seventh street. Lucian Owens has been appointed by Dr. Bassett to a position in the street department. Another appointment which meets popular approval was made by L. E. Foster, superintendent of the county school system, when he nanted W. C. Davis, principal of the Gainesville school, as special examiner of colored applicants for teachers' licenses. BASS AND ASBURY GET CITY 'APPOINTMENTS Philadelphia, Pa.—Annoinclement was made Saturday of the appointments of Attorney Harry W. Bass and Attorney John C. Ashurv to the positions of assistant city solicitors at salaries of $2,500 each per year. The appointments were made by City Solicitor John P. Connelly, and Mr. Bass and Mr. Ashurv reported for duty Monday, February 7. This is the first recognition ever given Negroes in an important appointive capacity in the city of Philadelphia. Mr. Bass served two terms in the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, being the first Negro elected to that body. Mr. Ashurv was for a long time editor of The Odd Fellows' Journal, and is now president of the Keystone Aid Society, a large insurance company. Announcement from the General Education Board in this city on Monday included appropriations for a number of schools for Negroes in the South. These include the following items For Calhoun Colored School, Calhoun, Ala, $5,000, for Fort Valley High and Industrial School, Fort Valley, Ga, $2,000, Manassas Industrial School, Manassas, Va., $2,000 The sum of $10,000 is appropriated for the Anna T. Jeanes I fund for employing industrial teachers in various schools with $16,230 additional to be expended for homemakers' clubs among Negroes in the South. An appropriation of $25,000 is to assist rural schools in building homes for teachers. THE MU-SQ-LIT CLUB ELECTS NEW OFFICERS Washington, D.

J. — A splendid session of the Local Negro Business League was held on Tuesday night, February 1, at Bethel A. M. E. Zion Church, 1140 Springwood avenue, J. Turner Wall, president, presided. This league holds the last charter signed by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was president of the National Negro Business League, and the president exhibited the charter at this meeting for the first time. The principal address was delivered by the Rev. A. E. Ballard, president of the Ocean Grove Campmeeting Association, who paid a tribute to the race, citing a long and intimate association as a basis for his knowledge. He also spoke of his cordial feeling for the Negro clergy of Ashbury Park. Dr Ballard was a schoolmate, it is said, of Abraham Lincoln. Other speakers were the Rev. A F. Jensen, the Rev. S. D. Conrad, Mme. W. C. Robinson and Arthur B Police Telegram was read from Fred R Moore, editor of The New York Ace, expressing regret at his inability to be present. The following letter appeared in The New York Globe, and concerns a worthy work which THE ACE endorses. The school conducted by Mrs. Bethune is worthy of aid, and it is hoped that members of the race in all sections of the country, including the soldier boys of Uncle Sam stationed in Hawaii and the Philippine Islands, will come to the assistance of this deserving work with financial contributions. The letter is as follows: Negro School Needs Funds. Editor of The Globe, Sur—I venture-to appeal through you to your readers on behalf of Mrs. Mary McLeod Benthue, whose work at Daytona, Fla., for her own race is becoming each year better known to those interested in Negro education. Starting twelve years ago "with a little rented cabin, five little girls, a dollar and a half, a firm faith in God," to quote her own words, she has now built up, in part by her own efforts and those of her fellow Negroes and in part by white help, an industrial training school for girls which has this winter 157 pupils and reaches in its activities more than 300 colored children. There is in addition a hospital for Negroes, the only one in a large part of the State of Florida, and Negroes have medical and care especially surgical aid. From this hospital visiting nurses spread the gospel of fresh air and sanitation throughout the community. A boys club has been established, also missions to the turpentine camps of the district, and, in short, the work has become the only definite community work along the whole east coast. It takes money to run such an enterprise—in fact about $8,000 is now required for the actual running expenses. To raise at least a good part of this Mrs. Bethune is now in New York. Those who heard her speak last week at Mrs. Orme Wilson's or who will go to hear her this Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock at Mrs. Sergeant Cram's. 3 West Thirty-eighth street, will understand what she means by saving that her work is part of a great "campaign of preparedness" to make the Negro race ready to assume its part of all national hurdens. Contributions, however large or small, are urgently needed. They may be sent direct to Mrs. Bethune, care of Industrial Training School, Davtona Ila, or to me at 22 West Fifty-ninth street HARRISON RHODES. New York, Feb 5 HEADWAITER'S WIFE SUES ANOTHER WOMAN Philadelphia, Pa.-Alleging that her husband's affections have been alienated and her home broken up through the wiles and blandishments and other subtle devices of coquetry. Mrs. Rosa B Morris, 1740 Federal street, wife of Bernard Morris, a prominent headwainter, has entered suit for $1,500 chamages against Miss Emma Young, 1700 Pine street. Mrs. Morris charges also that she has been compelled to live like a hermit because of her husband's infatuation for the other woman. Miss Young enters a general denial of the charges but was held in $500 bail to answer the suit. Mr. and Mrs. Morris are prominent members of the First African Baptist Church. S. W. Cor.

HUNTER DURING MORGANSTER-WALTON REGIME LAFAYETTE CHANGES ESSRS. MORGANSTERN & WALTON have retired as lessees and managers of the Lafayette Theatre, which they operated for nearly two years with marked success, with the exception of the past nine weeks, during which period they encountered a combination of adverse circumstances. However, their chief reason for giving up the theatre was the too exacting demands of the landlord, who still believes that the house should bring a reental of $25,000 a year. Their effort was made to get together a manor owner of the theatre. A substantial sum of money was offered, together with gilt-edge security as a bond, but the head of the Jarmulowsky estate refused to do further business unless his exacting demands were complied with, which would have been suicidal. It has developed, however, that white men doing business on the East Side have formed a company to conduct the theatre with the Jarmulowskys owning an interest, and that this combination was formed before efforts were made to succeed Messrs. Morganstern & Walton. It has also developed that before an understanding had been reached between the former lessees of the theatre and the owners regarding the lease the Jarmulowsky people had selected as manager a white man who is said to enjoy a large measure of popularity among a certain element of colored people in Harlem and who is said to exert a large amount of influence among them. The following figures will give the public an idea of what a big proposition the Lafayette Theatre is, exclusive of one of the largest items—the rent: From May, 1914, to February 6, 1916, nearly $50,000 was expended in salaries for talent, two-thirds of which amount was given to the colored performer. From May, 1914, to February 6, 1916, nearly $15,000 was expended in salaries for house help, all of which was colored. From May, 1914, to February 6, 1916, nearly $7,000 was expended for country store prizes. Not a cent is owing to any performer except Miss Anita Bush, who is due three hundred and some odd dollars, having been paid in five weeks over $1,000. Settlement will be made with Miss Bush as soon as practicable. It will always be a source of great pride to be able to point to the fact that within two years I was largely instrumental in paying, to the colored theatrical profession thousands and thousands of dollars—more money than paid in a similar length of time by any other colored theatre in America. My experience as manager of the Lafayette Theatre has been only an incident in my career, preparing me for the larger work ahead of me. And the knowledge of human nature and other valuable lessons learned will certainly serve me in good stead. My interest in advancing the cause of the colored theatrical profession has always been honest and sincere, and my efforts toward its elevation in the future will be along similar lines as the past—constructive and conservative. As for the new management of the Lafayette Theatre, they not only have my best wishes but my sincere sympathy. "OLD KENTUCKY" AT MANHAT- TAN, OPERA HOUSE. The next attraction at the Manhattan Opera House will be "In Old Kentucky" the successful and popular drama of Kentucky life written by C.T. Dazey and produced under the management of Philip H Niven. It has now reached the twenty-third season of its phenomenal career—a record almost without parallel in the history of recent-stage offerings. This is a gala year with "In Ol d Kentucky" and the play will celebrate the event with countless special features in the pick-ninny scene and other added features. Theatre patrons seems to relish "In Old Kentucky" as a very essential element of their yearly dramatic food its return engagements everywhere are occasions of noteworthy interest its story is simple but very near to nature's heart. With a mountain maid for a heroine, the action begins amid the peaks and ravines of Eastern Kentucky. Here, a charming mountain lass meets her fate at the person of an aristocratic young horseman from the blue grass district of the State. To save him from impending danger, she follows him to his home near Lexington, there disguises herself as a jockey and to save his fortune rides his thoroughbred "Queen Bess" to victory in a famous Kentucky stake race on the Lexington course. A moonshiner, a Kentucky colonel, a faithful old Negro servant and several other types are central figures in the story which holds the interest of the playgoer from start to finish. An attractive and novel feature of "In Old Kentucky" is its band of little colored boys who sing, dance and unite to for ma brass band. A company of uniform merit is always provided—and this year's organization contains the names of many who have been, with "In Old Kentucky" be THE FIRST WEDDING OF THE MARRIAGE OF THE MISSING WEDDING GIRL. Lonnie Murray as "Madge Brierly" and Joseph Sullivan as "Colonel Sandusky Doolittle" with "In Old Kentucky" fore.

Howard P. Drew again proved that he is the fastest spinner in the world, and little Roy Morse demonstrated that he is second only to the great Drew, when on last Tuesday evening these two sterling runners finished first and second in the invitational scratch, 100-yard dash at the New York A. C games held in the 22d Regiment Armory, with Joe Loomis, of Chicago, in the ruck for the second time in two weeks. The feature of these games had been doped out to be the Baxter mile, in which several stars were entered, but the hundred-yard special proved to be the thriller and was most impressive Joe Loomis, the enlarged Chicago runner, who beat Drew and Morse last summer in the century race at the San Francisco game, was expected by the expert dopists to defeat Drew. Last summer Drew was ill and in no condition to run. Although it is conceded that Drew is quicker in getting off the mark it was thought that Loomis had a chance in the longer race. He was defeated two weeks ago by Drew and Morse in the Milrose 70-yard dash. But Drew in winning Tuesday night, proved that the fastest man in America engaged in the fastest sprinting. In this race Loomis and Morse were three yards ahead of Drew at the 70-yard mark, but in a terrific burst of speed he finished yards ahead of the whole lunch. The performances of Drew since his top-back furnish conclusive proof to all that he is the first runner in America, if not the world. He is the fastest man in leaving the mark, and outclasses them all in traveling with tremendous speed in the finish. He is as great a marvel in rubber shoes on an indoor board floor as he is in spiked shoes on the cinders. The consistent running of Roy Crescent, the little flyer of the Salem-Crescent Club, must not be forgotten. He has finished second to Drew in the last two important races. In the 70-year special at the Millrose games, the Harlemite was runner-up to Drew and in the 100-yard special of the New York A.C. he placed in the same position the great Joe Loomis and Frank Stephenson, of the Trinity A.C. trailing in both races. Morse is a close student and admirer of Drew and no doubt has learned much from that line specimen of manhood. When Drew has stopped out-sprinting all comers it is thought that Morse who is a younger man both in years and in the game, will take Drew's place. Present performances certainly point in that direction. Mme. Hackley at Music School Settle ment. Mme. Azalia Hackley has kindly consented to be present at our lecture-recital on Sunday, February 13, and will give a vocal demonstration. Our capacity being small, it is advisable to contact each of us good seat. John Edward Bruce ("Gritty" resident of the Negro Society For Historical Research, read a paper on "Early Negro Composers" and "The Concentration of Effort." He told of many interesting and inspiring facts, such as the Mocking Bird" being the composition of Richard Milburn, a Negro street singer in Philadelphia. He also gave a quotation from "His Life and Letters" of S. Coloreldie-Taylor by W. C. Sayers in which he refers to Beethoven to Beethoven his vein. Mr Bruce made a strong appeal for the preservation of the Negro plantation melodies as American folksongs. Mrs Barrett, from Hampton University, a social worker, was invited to the lecture. Schomberg was presented to the audience. In the near future he will give a talk on South American composers Miss Consuelva Puppy, a piano pupil of the school, played S. Coloreldie Taylor's Hamburgin and a Miss Milred Burrell in a play of the school played the Chopin Family Impromptu. Both did well.

BASKET BALL (BY WILL ANTHONY MADDEN) Send all matter direct to 289 West 4th street, New York City, and have same in our hands by Monday night of each week in order to assure its ap- pearance in the current issue. Now that the St. Christopher-Hampton game is over, interest has turned to the next big game, which is the meeting of St. Christopher and Alpha, on Lincoln's Birthday, Saturday afternoon, February 12. From advance reports the house is already sold out which proves there will be a tremendous crowd to witness this game. I will not predict a winner because it is practically impossible to consciously do so. As yet Alpha "Big Five" has not been defeated this season, while St. C. has one defeat against her. On the other hand, Alpha has not met any real hard team with the lone exception of the Cardinal-Hisawathas in Washington. Alpha has a good team but there has not been much opposition against "Big Five." St. Christopher's hardest game was Hampton, which she lost. Of course when Alpha and St. Christopher meet there is a strong feeling of rivalry and each team would, figuratively speaking, rather die than lose to the other. Each team has an excellent chance of winning. Alpha seems to be a popular favorite. In summing up I will say, that if St. Christopher follows instructions and plays the kind of basketball she has been taught under the Wetzler system, she will defeat "Big Five." The question is will she play that system, or will she lose her head and go to pieces like in the Hampton game? On Friday night, March 3, the Incorporators will make their next appearance at Manhattan Casino, when they line-up against the Cardinal-Hawatha's of Washington, D. C. The Incorporators have produced the best team in Washington and in fact are rated as the best in the southern district. Their hard-fought victory over the world champion *Incorporators* has made Washington's stock in basketball jump very high. The Cardinals have the confidence born of victory and will come to New York prepared to win again. As to the "Incorporators" they say they will stop the Cardinals so decisively that there will be no comparison between the teams. New York's pretty girls will again be on hand with buttons, pennants, etc. There will be spot dances for prizes and Dauce's orchestra will furnish the music. Boxes seating ten people will be sold at $3 and orders can be left at the Tempo Club, 119 West 136th St. Telephone 441 Audubon. Allotment it will be one of those enjoyable nights always given by the "Incorporators" See advertisement. Friday evening. February 4. the Oriental Juniors of New Rochelle, defeated the Worcraa boys by the score of 30-4. In the main attraction of the evening the Oriental's first team defeated the Royal Five from Paterson, N. J., by the score of 33-12. It was a very successful night for the Oriental and a large crowd witnessed the games. By the time this paper goes to press the Tiger game between St. Christopher and St. Augustine, at Labor Lyceum, Brooklyn, will be decided. All I can say is that the St. Christopher Tigers should win by an overwhelming score. St. Augustine doesn't class with them from any standpoint. On February 25 the St. Christopher Tigers will again journey to Brooklyn, this time to meet the Carlton Senior's champions of Brooklyn. The game will be played at Saengerbund Hall and will be the best basketball attraction Brooklyn has seen this season or is likely to see. The teams are well matched so the game ought to be very close. Scott, the sterling little guard, of the Carlton, is suffering from blood poison, but we hope he will soon be fully recovered. The Willing Five Basketball team of Elizabeth, N. J., would like to hear from all teams averaging in weight from 100 to 105 lbs. Communicate with Randolph Morrow, 1014 Bond Street Elizabeth, N. J. The St. Augustine's of Elizabeth, N. J., were defeated in Montclair by the Keystone Five by the very close score of 30-29. Dear Sir, I find in the athletic columns of several leading Negro papers that the Armstrong Manual Training High School of Washington, D.C., is laying claim to the colored basketball championship. I admire their contentions but fall to see the ground on which it is justified. Armstrong invited Howard University to play them a practice game in the early part of December, and promised to play us a scheduled game later in the season. We accepted the game under the stated conditions and played the game under several serious handicaps. Four of our varsity players were unable to attend, and of the twelve players who went to the game, eleven played, four of whom were students in the Preparatory Department here and were new and inexperienced players. Armstrong won the game by a small margin and much to our surprise someone wrote an account of the game in the Washington Star. Several statements in the article would make one believe that the Armstrong team was a new "Cardinal Machine" or the champion "Incorporators." Up to date we have played 58 practice games in the Gym with most of the various teams in the city, and we keep no record of any of these practice games as they are only to try out new men and for the development of new plays. Armstrong also invited the Cardinals down for a practice game in the early part of January. The Cardinals hesitated as only two of their players could attend, but finally consented to play for the practice. The Cardinals filled the vacancies on their team with several less experienced players and could hardly be expected to play a good game with only two regulars. Armstrong again won by a slight margin, and published the game as defeating the Champion Cardinals. Both Howard University and the Cardinals challenge Armstrong openly to a basketball game to be played on a neutral court with competent and impartial officials, any time they desire to play. Neither Howard or the Cardinals make excuses when they lose but such unnally methods to acclaim public recognition is not in accordance with good sportsmanship. (Signed) KELEY MILLER, Jr. Manager Howard University Basketball Team. CHARLES HENDERSON, Manager Cardinal Machine. The above letter was sent to me for publication so If Armstrong has anything to say I would be pleased to hear from them. The Cardinal Machine beat the Armstrong team of Washington, D. C., 20 to 12 in a practice game in the Armstrong Gym. January 31. The game was similar to the one played several weeks ago, but as the full Cardinal Machine was present the Armstrong boys were entirely outclassed. Had the Cardinals made half of the goals at which they shot they would have undoubtedly made 45 points. Atlantic City, N. J.—The fast and well-known Crescent Tigers of Atlantic City, defeated the basketball team of the Beaver Athletic Club of Wilmington, Del. by the score of 50 to 12. The Beaver team claim the championship of Delaware, and when they lined up against the speedy Red and Black Quintet, a hard game was looked for. The Crescent's having changed their line up at practice just the day before by taking Norwood from center and placing him at guard and promoting Watson to this vacancy from the second team, made it work like a brand new machine. Captain "Buck" Dorsey and Mathews at forward had no trouble in losing the guards who were to oppose them, while Watson the new recruit started as he always does. Kimborough the old reliable, playing guard with Norwood, put up a gigantic defence against the attack of the Wilmington bows. It was noticed by all, that Flanders was the star of the Beaver team, and thus gained his prominency in the eyes of the Atlantic City basketball fans. The Crescent boys now with their new machine with two speedy forwards who can really shoot and a center who can move after he hits the ball from center and two guards who know just how to play their respective positions, are out to attack all of the best known basketball teams. The line up and score. Crescent Tigers—Dorsey, r f. Mathews, l. f.; Watson, c., Norwood, r. g.; Kihmrough, l g. Beaver A. C—Harris, r. f.; Wilson l. f.; Ambrose, c.; Ridgely, l. g.; Flanders, r. g.

Alpha Big Five defeated the Cardinal Hinwathn's in Washington D.C. On Friday night, by the score of 29 to 13. From all reports it was a great game The Crescent Club of Atlantic City, the lightweight champions of New Jersey, defeated the fast De Ryders' of Wilmington, Del., on the court of the latter, by the score of 33 to 11. The losers, though played a good game, were no match for the fast Crescent team. It was late in the second half against the substituates that the home team scored most of their points.

The race was a handicap affair and the two men of the fifty on scratch were G. Trottman, of the St Christopher Club, and W. Murray, of the Alpha Physical Club. The other runners made fast time but liberal handicaps given lesser lights were responsible for their poor showing. The finish of the colored runners was as follows: HARLEM A. L.

Cullen, preached morning and evening and served holy communion at each service to about 300 persons. Many persons were taken in as members. At 2:30 p. m. the Sunday School and Men's Bible Class met. The Sunday School was largely attended and about twenty-five men studied the lesson, "When it costs to be 'True,' with interest and understanding. Prof George E.

Morganstern & Walton It has also developed that before an un- derstanding had been reached between the former lessees of the theatre and “the owners regarding the lease the Jartnulowsky people had selected as manager a white man who is said to enjoy a large measure of popularity among a certain element of colared peo- ple in Harlem and who is sald to exert ™ large amount of influence among them. The following figures will give the public an idea of what a big proposition the Lafayette Theatre is, exclusive of ‘one of the largest items—the rent: From May, 1914, to Febru- ary 6, 1916, nearly $50,000 ‘was expended in salaries for talent, two-thirds of which amount was given to the col- ored performer. From May, 1914, to Febru- ary 6, 1916, nearly $15,000 was expended in salaries for house help, all of which was colored. From May, 1914, to Febru- ary 6, 1916, nearly $7,000 was expended for country store prizes, Not a cent is owing to any performer except Miss Anita Bush, who is due three hundred and some odd dollars, kaving been paid in five weeks over a ce aeat sl te mde si "Zs soon as practicable. Tt will always be a source of great pride to be able to point to the fact that within two years I was largely instru- mental in paying to the colored the- | atrical profession thousands and thous- ands of dollars—more money than paid sin a similar length of tume by any other solored theatre in America. ‘My experience as manager of the La fayette Theatre has been only an inci- dent in my career, preparing me for the larger work ahead of me. And the Imowledge of human nature and, other valuable lessons learned will certain serve me in good stead. My interest ir advancing the cause of the colored the atrical profession has always been hon. est and sincere, and my efforts towarc its elevation in the future will be alony similar lines as the past—constructiv and conservative. As for the new management of th , Lafayette Theatre, they not only hav my best wishes but my sincere sym pathy. “OLD KENTUCKY" AT MANHAT.

James Marshall, Inventor, Doe, James Marshall, Inventor and engineer, died on February 1 at Roosevelt Hospital this city, following an operation for appendix after an illness of fifteen days duration. He was 11 years of age, and was born in Georgia but his family now lives at West Acton Mass. Mr. Marshall early in life showed a natural inclination toward mechanics and by hard study and application qualified as a skilled engineer. Several years ago he perfected a practical flying machine and took out letters of patent, but was unable to secure financial backing except on such terms as would be greatly to his disadvantage. When taken sick he was working on an electric motor of new form. Less than one fourth the size of present motors, it tripled them in power, and cost hardly a third as much to run. The secret of this died with him, as it was not sufficiently developed for anybody else to complete it. Another discovery made by Mr. Marshall in the course of his experiments was that of a destructive ray, which, as a means of defense, would have made the country using it invulnerable to attack. He had arranged for the money necessary to make the apparatus for handling this ray, which he purposed to present to the United States government in the name of the Negroes of the country, but this is prevented by his death. A committee of friends, including Mrs. G. Johnson, 2247 Seventh avenue, with whom he boarded; J. N. Coleman, head hallman at Hotel Wellington; W D. Robinson, head bell man at Hotel Prince George; G. P. Reache and A. J. Gary, took charge of the body and shipped it to West Acton, Mass., where his mother and two sisters live. H. Adolph Howell, undertaker, 107 West 136th street, prepared the body for shipment. Invalidism of his mother and a sister prevented their making the trip to New York. BROOKLYN NOTES Mrs. J. B.
