VOL. XXIX No. 22 TEN YEAR OLD BOY HELPS FUND Russell Gibson Starts Memoria Fund Association to be Composed of Youngsters DIMES FROM CHILDREN TO HELP Russell Begins Movement by Which Boys and Girls of Race Will Help Raise $250,000 for Washington Memorial Fund. STARTS LIST WITH ONE DOLLAR Writes to The Age Sending Contribution and Outlining Plan by Which the Children Will Send In Their Dimes and Become Members of the Association - Wants Major Moton to Advise Children to Join. Russell C. Gibson, 10 years old, is a little colored boy who lives at 168 Maple avenue, Rahway, N. J. He is spending the winter on Staten Island. Russell has become interested in the raising of the $2,000,000 fund for the creation of a memorial to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, and he is going to interest other little boys and girls to the end that they will give tangible help in the raising of the part of the fund desired from the race, $250,000, by contributing at least one dime. Russell was given a prize of $2 by his father for the passing of his under examinations, and he is sending $1 of this amount to start a Boys' and Girls' Fund for the Booker T. Washington Memorial. With his contribution he sends the following letter: To the Editor of The Age: I see that little Miss Marjorie Sterrett raising a fund to build a new library. I WANT TO DO SOMETHING. I think the little colored boys and girls can raise a fund, too. I would like it if we could raise as much as would build a battleship, but our race does not need a battleship. I would like to help the Memorial Fund of our great loader, Booker T. Washington. Now, Mr. Editor, I want to organize a Memorial Fund Association to help raise the amount you need. I wish it was so I could organize a club in every city, so all the boys and girls could help build a battleship, but I want the money for our Memorial Fund Association. I wish you would ask Major Moton to tell all the little boys and girls to join my Fund-Association, and to tell Mr. Attorney W. H. Levy to do so, too. My nana gave $2 for passing my mild examination, and I am send me one of them to start my M. Levy's little boys and girls to buy lots of money. I wish you please publish this letter of the colored papers, and let you to take care of me. I am sending you my pictures. Mother says I am 10 years old, and my nana, Russell C.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—It would be extremely difficult to measure the value and service of a life like that of the late Booker T. Washington because so much was crowded into it. So many influences radiated from Tuskegee Institute that there are few who did not in some way feel the effect of his forceful personality. This thought has been suggested by two letters which came to Tuskegee Institute almost the same day—one from Jacksonville, Fla., and the other from Durham, N. C. Both of these letters were from business men and one of them traces his success in business directly to Dr. Washington while the other fraternity suggests that the National Negro Business League, which was fathered by his genius and fostered at Tuskegee, has been an important contributing element in the success of many business enterprises. He further urges that support to the Memorial Fund is a fitting way for business men to exhibit their appreciation for the inspiration which they have received. The letter from S. H. Anderson, a well-known business man of Jacksonville, said, in part: "Since November 14, I have hardly been able to transact my business, for Dr. Washington was very largely responsible for such success as I now enjoy and his death has shocked and stunned me. For instance, when I was about to start my business, I could not see my way ahead in certain matters and wrote to him for advice. * * * The answer he helped me so much and doubled my determination to succeed." This letter is a real human interest story. Mr. Anderson has personally subscribed $250 towards the Fund. The letter from Durham, N. C., was from C. C. Spaulding, general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. After describing his own feeling of personal loss over the death of Dr. Washington, Mr. Spaulding announces that the executives of his company have decided to give a contribution of $250 in the name of the association, and that an additional $250 has been subscribed by the citizens of Durham, with an additional $500 probably in sight. Among the other colored friends who have subscribed $100 or more are Charles Banks, of Mound Bavon, Miss, a Bishop George W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C., Mme. C. J. Walker, of Indianapolis, and Prof. George W. Carver and W V Chambliss, of Tuskegee, each of whom has subscribed $500. 3.500 HEAR MOTON AT SPRINGFIELD, MASS. Special to The New York Age. Springfield, Mass.—An audience of 3500 attended the meeting in the Auditorium Sunday, held under the ausesps of the Young Men's Christian Association. Maj. R. R. Moton, the new head of Tuskegee Institute, was the principal speaker. He made a strong impression upon his audience Frank P Chisholm, a graduate of Tuskegee, and one of its teachers, spoke briefly at the close of Maj. Moton's address. The meeting was a memorial to Dr. Booker T. Washington and was attended by both races. Sunday evening Maj Moton spoke to a large audience at St John's Church. He complimented the church on the fine institutional work it is doing among the Negroes of Springfield under the Rev Dr. William N DeBerry. Over $100 was raised by the members toward the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund and many pledges were given. MAJ. MOTON SAILS FOR KINGSTON, IAMAICA KINGSTON, JAMES Maj R. R Moton, principal-elect of Tuskegee Institute, accompanied, by Mrs Moton, sailed Thursday of this week on the steamer Tivives of the United Fruit Company for Kingston, Jamaica, where he will take a much needed rest. The new head of Tuskegee expects to return to New York about the middle of March. BRITISH GUIANA AND ITS TRADE POSSIBILITIES Native Barbadian Writes of Opportunities for American Capital in Demerara ENDORSES LETTER FROM DAVIS Approves Statements Made in Letter Published in The Age of February 3, and Expresses Willingness to Assist in the Formation of a Corporation to Carry Out Suggestions of the Guianese That the possibilities offered by British Guinan for the exploitation of its natural resources by the American Negro, as set forth in the letter from H. Everard Davis, High and Regent streets, Georgetown, Demerara, British Guiana, published in "The Age" February 3, are worth being investigated, is borne out by a letter from D. A. Husbands, Halifax, Nova Scotia, the manager and director of the West India Products and Supply Co. Mr. Husbands is a native of the Barbadoes, but his business connections have taken him to British Guiana on several occasions and he writes from a personal knowledge of conditions in that country. Not only does he declare that the British Guiana proposition is a good one, but he also expresses his willingness to become a stockholder in any company formed along the lines suggested in Mr. Davis' letter. Mr. husbands states that not only gold, diamonds and Valata are to be found in that country, but there are many other products which could be produced with native labor that exported to the United States and Canada would return nice profits to the exporters. British Guiana Proposition. The West India Products & Supply Co. handles every imaginable variety of West Indian products, with shareholders and forwarding agents in each of the islands. Mr. Husbands' letter is as follows: The letter which appeared in your paper from Mr H. Everard Davis, of Georgetown, Demerara, British Guiana, to the men of your country, I believe to be a good and worthy appeal, from the fact that I know personally there is a large amount of different minerals which could be procured and prepared for exporting by the natives of that country. But for the need of a proper organized and capitalized industry they are unable to do it, and therefore I trust that the appeal made by Mr. Davis to the American Colored People asking their cooperation in the development of a company, will be taken advantage of, and all join hand in hand with Mr. Davis. I. the writer, am not a Demerarian but a Barbadian. From what I have noticed during my visits to the former country, I am pleased to say there is a splendid opportunity for such an organization as above mentioned. I might also add, in addition to the gold, diamonds and Valata mentioned by Mr Davis, there is any amount of other products that could be raised by the natives and exported to the United States and Canada, and other countries, which would bring back to the farmers and exporters very nice profits. I being an importer of West India products, I know there are splendiful profits to be made from such products, and will be willing at any time to purchase a block of stock, at any time such a corporation might be formed along the lines specified by Mr. Davis. (Signed) B A HUSBAND, Manager West India Products & Supply Co., Ltd REGULAR DEMOCRATS FAIL TO GET CHARTER In the Supreme Court of Queens county on Monday, Justice Blackmar denied the application of the "Regular Colored Democratic Club of Queens Co." for the incorporation of that organization. Justice Blackmar said in refusing to grant the charter: "I cannot approve the certificate so long as the word 'regular' is part of the name, for I do not know if that accords with the fact." The names signed to the application were Winston H. Burrell, William H. Willis, J. W. Porter, Isaac Shanklin, Winston H. Burrell, Jr., all of Long Island City, and Arthur Taylor, 18 Bancroft street, Brooklyn. Attorney Benjamin Lynn, of Long Island City, filed the application. PROPOSED JIM CROW LAW WILL HARDLY PASS Special to The New York Times Special to The New York Age Baltimore, Md.-It is generally believed that the bill for "Jim Crow" cars in Baltimore, introduced in the State Legislature a few months ago, will fall of passage. It is regarded as a "bell ringer," and, as there is no scouting favorable sentiment for such a law, its passage is doubtful. Dr. Washington Speaking at Shreveport, Louisiana on His Last THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1916. Dr. Washington Speaking at Shrew Educational Tour, A LINCOLN'S COACHMAN LIVING, IN WASHINGTON Special for Twin New York Acc. WASHINGTON, D. C.-Richard Wells, a Negro, who lives at 1633 O street, and who was born in Prince George's County, Maryland, in 1836, enjoys the distinction of being the only man she waited on President Lincoln when he headed the nation. Wells was Lincoln's coachman. He served in the Civil War on the side of the Union, and when he returned to Washington he was given employment by Lincoln. Wells served many of the foreign legations in Washington and was known for years as "the dean of the diplomatic door tenders," having served the Mexican Legation twenty-four years in that capacity. HIGH SCHOOL BOY WINS PRIZE IN METAL WORK For the most excellent specimen of craftsmanship done by a student in vocational schools, shown in an exhibit at the National Arts Club, East 14th street, under the auspices of the National So- curety of Craftsmen, the Hardinge prize of $10 was awarded to Hainfihal Tiloy Davis, 39 West 33d street, who graduated from Stusveasant high school at the end of the midwinter high February 1 Young Davis exhibited a design forged from wrought iron, a branch of oak leaves and aporns.

He has specialized in ornamental iron work, and has worked in iron, steel and copper. He has ranged from plain forging to types of highly ornamental work. Specimens of his work, including the prizewinning oak branch, several roses, a flower table and a weatherwise, all fashioned in metal, are on exhibition now at the Stuyvesant high school. Under the instructor, rust Schwarzkopf, young Davis is taking a postgraduate course in the Stuyvesant evening school. He is the youngest son of Mrs. Ida Davis Hunter, wife of W. B. Hunter, 39 West 13'2 street. MITCHEL NAMES BOLDEN ON NATIONAL DEFENCE The Rev. R. M. Bolden, pastor of First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 131st street, was named by Mayor John Purroy Mitchel as a member of the mayor's committee on national defense. A meeting will be held at-St. Louis on March 3 and New York's attitude on preparedness will be presented by this committee. The Rev. Mr. Bolden will leave on Thursday to attend that meeting BISHOPRIC CANDIDATE Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Mound Bayou, Miss—The Rev. S. P. Felder, presiding elder of the Frias Point district, A M E. Church, a resident of Mound Bayou, is being spoken of as a candidate for the bishopric at the next general conference. Dr Folder is a highclass christian gentleman and one of the best pulpit orators in the connection. He is able and efficient and under his administration the Frias Point district has ad- vanced in every particular. He is not afflicted with any of the political cliques or combinations, but will be presented to the general conference on his record as a Christian gentleman and gospel minister. Charles Banks, of the Mound Bayou Oil Mall and Manufacturing Co., and Mound Bayou Savings Bank, is a delegate to the general conference and is actively interesting himself in Dr. Felder's candidacy MONTGOMERY CITIZENS Montgomery, Ala—Eight representative colored citizens of Montgomery came before the city commission at its regular meeting and filed their individual protests against the production of "The Birth of a Nation," booked to appear at the Grand theatre. Dr. W. M. Watkins, chairman of the committee, read extracts from criticisms of the production gathered at random. Other speakers were the Rev. A. J Stokes, D H C Scott and G E. Newstell. The committee of which Dr. W M Watkins acted as chairman, consisted of the following: The Rev. W L. Hamlin, the Rev A. J Stokes, V. H Tulane, G. E. Newstell, G. H. C. Scott and E. T. Attwell and A.

Special to The New York Ack New Orleans, La.—Three thousand Negroes were marooned in the northern part of Tensas parish by the flood waters resulting from a break in the levees along the Mississippi, Arkansas, Atchafalaya and the Red and Black rivers. Eight parishes were flooded, but only three persons, all colored, were drowned. These persons were swept away when the Mississippi levee near Newelton, La., was swept away. Many of the colored men, forced to take refuge on the levee above and below Natchez, have been given employment on levee work. Natchez, Miss.—A fund for the relief of the marooned Negroes is being raised by the "Gazette" of Little Rock, and both the Red Cross and the United States government are extending aid. Martin Jacoby, mayor of Newellton, La., has appealed for one hundred tents for use of the marooned people and he has also asked for rations for 3,000 destitute persons. It is reported from Lake Village community that conditions are serious and help is needed at once. Residents are disputing among themselves as to the plan to be adopted. Some want to ask for government aid, some do not, and some of them are indifferent, but all realize that the poor Negroes need help. Ten persons, two families, were found packed in one room, and they had been living for several days on eighteen rabbits. They had no other food, and were without hope of securing anything else. Of eighteen families in one neighborhood, only three needed no help. Refugees Want to Stay Near Home. A fleet of government boats has reached the flooded district, but the officers wanted to remove the refugees to a central camp. Both the refugees and the planters objected. The Negroes did not want to leave their homes, and the planters were afraid if the people were taken away they would not return, and so a shortage of labor would result. The maintenance of camps near the plantations on which they were employed was referred to Major Capols, United States engineer at New Orleans, Federal officials charge that aid given by the government was abused in 1912 at Oncott, some of the refugees going from camp to camp and drawing round after round of rations. This, coupled with the attitude of the Lake Village people, is operating to delay action by the government, to the disadvantage of the suffering refugees. The people are at dire need, and Representative Wood of the Congressional Flood Committee which was sent out to get facts on Mississippi river control which committee reached Natzhete last Friday, declared that in his opinion "there is immediate necessity for some sort of aid for the refugees. Louisiana should do something at once and not depend on the government." In one cabin an old woman, "Aunt" Polly Bizer, was found with two other women and four children. They had a peek of meal and half a pound of meat, with which to feed the seven people. There were no men around, they had no boat and the water was flowing at the cabin door. They refused to leave the cabin. Murray A Auerbach, of Little Rock, special representative of the American Red Cross Society, had a conference with the Lake Village people, but left in disgust at their attitude, saying he would return to Little Rock immediately. As a conquest, no Red Cross assistance will be given in that district. The flood relief fund being raised by the Arkansas Gazette at Little Rock had amounted to $570 32 up to Saturday, February 19, with contributions coming in steadily. A committee composed of Dr Vernon MacCammon, Ed Doran and W M. Ophurn has been appointed to distribute the fund. BULLOCK AS Y. M. C. A. Special to The New York Age. LOUISVILLE, Kv.-Louisville citizens meet at Fifth Street Baptist Church in a farewell testimonial meeting to C. L. Bullock, who has resigned as secretary of the Y. M. C. A. to accept a similar position with the Y. M. C. A. at Montclair, N. J. PRICE FIVE CENTS CRIME ORGY IN SOUTH IN 1915 Official Records Reveal Year as Bloodiest the South has Ever Experienced MEMPHIS LEADS THE COUNTRY Serious Crime Rampant in the Bluff City and No Other City in the United States has So High a Record for Murders. Legal Sale of Whiskey Stopped January 1, 1915, But Percentage of Crime Is Much Greater Than for Previous Year —Same Condition Obtains in Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama. Special to The New York Act. Chattanooga, Tenn. — If the rural communities of the Southern States have made the same progression in crime as the official records reveal at the centers of population, the year 1915 was the bloodiest and most disorderly that the South has ever experienced. Crime at the centers of population shows an increase of fully twenty-five per cent. over the previous year. In some communities the increase is yet larger, and scattered reports from rural committees almost justify the statement that the country has pace with the cities in many words of crime. These records have been piled since the first of the war and they reveal a condition that is regarded as serious by conservative newspapers and sane thinkers in the cities of the South. Among the newspapers that decline to ignore the matter longer may be mentioned the Memphis "Commercial-Appeal," the Nashville "Banner," the Atlanta "Constitution," the Macon "Telegraph and the Chattanooga "Times." All of these newspapers, recognized throughout the country as reputable and trustworthy publications, have commented from day to day upon the increase of crime in the South and urged that steps be immediately taken to combat what they recognize as a shameful condition. Memphis Loads in Crime. Memphis leads all cities of the United States in serious crime. This statement is not disputed even by the Memphis press and public officials. The fact is carried prominently in all publications throughout the country that gather and disseminate crime statistics. There were 63.7 murders to 100,000 of population in Memphis in 1914, and the percentage will be higher for 1915, for all offenses, against about 14,000 in 1914. Some surprise is occasioned by this large increase of arrests for 1915, in view of the fact that during the whole of that year the saloons were closed, whereas during 1914 they were open the entire year. The Memphis Commercial-Appal, in its issue of January 9, said in an editorial article that the increase of crime in 1915 was due to low dives in many sections of the city where blind tigers are operated. It seems that the vigilance of the police department has been good, but the illicit traffic in intoxicating liquors promotes more crime than the licensed saloon. Nashville, Tenn., of about the same population as Mephis, does not show so large a per cent of murders, but Nashville ranks sixth among the cities of the country, having twenty-five murders to 100,000 of population. However, Nashville made a new crime record in 1915. The books at the police court in that city show that the arrests made last year total 14,300, and never before in the history of the police department has the number of arrests exceeded 12,000 a year. For the year 1914 there were approximately 11,000 arrests. As in the case of Memphis, saloons were running wide open in Nashville in 1914, but they were all closed the first of January, 1915, and remained closed during the entire year. Nashville also has a high record for divorces. During the years 1914-15, a total of 3,031 marriage licenses were issued in that city, and court records show that 1,002 suits for divorce were instituted. Chattanooga Broake Crime Record. Chattanooga also broke its highest crime record in 1915. This city has a population of about 75,000 and no saloons. Last year the city and county officers arrested 10,211 people for va- rious offenses, most of them being of the class that are usually charged to the liquor traffic. The increase of arrests in 1915 was twenty-nine per cent over the record of 1914. It will be of interest, doubtless, to note that in 1914 there were one hundred beer saloons in operation in Chattanooga. The doors of the county jail closed behind 4,777 prisoners during 1915, which is 1,384 more than for 1914. Of the number confined in the jail during the past year 1,032 were charged with drunkenness, as against 691 for that offense during the year 1914. Drunkenness alone showed an increase of thirty-three per cent. last year. A large per cent of the total arrests did not find their way to the county jail, many of them submitting their cases before a justice of the peace and taking their punishment without an appeal to the higher courts. These figures were never exceeded in the history of the county A few brief extracts from reputable newspapers published in the crime zone show that notwithstanding the prohibition laws, liquor is plentiful and cheap in Tennessee. "It is a fact," says the Nashville Banner, in its issued of January 8, that the city is invested with bootleggers and that liquor is sold freely to all who seek it and have the money to buy. This is not said to censure the police authorities, for notwithstanding the many arrests made by the authorities the traitors go on. The author along in the same article, the Banner says, "Notwithstanding the closing of the law, liquor liquor appears to be sold mostly in pint tasks, and some thousands of such well oiled receptacles must have been sold in Nashville within the past week." The Chattanooga Times of January 9 discussing crime in the South, said "There has been more crime and secret vice in Tennessee since the attempted enforcement of prohibition laws upon Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga—lawts that were opposed to the controlling sentiment of those cities—than ever before. Every owlender arrested and punished becomes an enemy to law and order, and the number of such increases daily, and the evil is only aggravated by the constant nagging of the authorities for failing to do what is an impossible act. Tennessee is the dainter because it shows that intemperance has been promoted by the irrational law that has been forced upon an unwilling people. The taxpayers are paying tremendous cost bills and the fee-grabber is growing fat, but the festering evil (crime) remains in its worst form." Did Crime Follow Prohibition? The Memphis commercial appeal, in its issue of January 9, called for a mass meeting of citizens to discuss crime, and to formulate some plan, which that newspaper did not outline, for reducing murder at least. The article admits the growth of crime in that community, and charges it for illustrating the enforcement of a prohibition which closed licensed saloons. The probation state of Georgia is having the same kind of experience and trouble with crime. Atlanta and Macon seem to have been the most turbulent cities of that State. The newspapers of those cities issued on Christmas day declared that "this was our most bloody Christmas." In Atlanta Christmas morning four men were dead at a hospital, as a result of shooting and about thirty-five were suffering from gunshot wounds. Some cities men were victims of stabbing affraas. The arrests in the city of Atlanta on Christmas Eve broke all previous records, amounting to about 600. At Macon, Ga., nineteen men were taken to hospitals in one day suffering from gunshot wounds. Three of them died of their injuries on Christmas day. The total arrests at Macon for the Christmas period approximated 300. Their offenses ranged all the way from "plain drunks" to premeditated murder 1 Alabama and North Carolina, as shown by local newspaper reports, and police records, were not far behind Tennessee and Georgia in the matter of crime and general disorder Durham, N. C., seems to have been the most turbulent point in that state, while Birmingham was the storm center of Alabama, with Mobile a good second. So far as the records show, Montgomery, Ala., was the only southern city that held crime down to former records during the year and throughout the holiday week. Every other southern city that has made reports suffered from an epidemic of crime that law officers have been unable to suppress Not less than a half dozen cities in the South are planning for mass-meetings to discuss these conditions publicly, with the hope that some plan may be evolved that will improve them. No public journal that discusses the situation at all tries to suppress the main fact, that crime has increased amazingly in the South during the past few years. The only difference between them is as to what has caused it. ESTABLISHED 20 YEARS MRS. IDA WHITE-DUNCAN HAIR WORKER 19 Precott St. Jersey City, N. J.

THOMAS GOES TO VORHEES AS PRINCIPAL DENMARK S. C.-J. O. Thomas, who, for a number of years, has occupied the position of field secretary for Tuskegee Institute, of which Booker T. Washington was founder and principal until his recent death, has been elected principal of the Vorhees Industrial Institution at Denmark, S. C. Vorhees Institute is an off-shoot of Tuskegee and was founded by Miss Elizabeth Elven Wright, a Tuskegee graduate, in the year of 1897. The school now owns and controls four hundred 1930 acres of land and fifteen substantial buildings, accommodating seven hundred students, and employing thirty teachers and instructors, has an endowment fund of $100,000. The property is valued at $175,000 and is free of debt or any encumbrances. Some of the death of Miss Wright, who was married to Martin A Menifee, also a Tuskegee graduate and associated with her in the capacity of treasurer in the institution, Mr Menifee has been treasurer and active principal Mr Thomas, in the capacity of secretaries for Tuskegee Institute, made a number of friends for the institution Dr Washington said during his lifetime that Mr Thomas was the most successful representative Tuskegee has sent out to present her claims to the general public. He was born December 21, 1884 year Mr Menifee was a rented plantation His mother died when he was fourteen years of age. Learning that a boy without money but with determination and willingness to serve could by the labor of his own hands enter Tuskegee and get an education he found his way to Tuskegee. In presenting the claims of Tuskegee to the general public, he has spoken from a large number of public platforms and pulps throughout the North and East. He has made for Tuskegee a large number of substantial and constant friends. He will not take up his work as principal of the Vorhees institute until the fifteenth of May or the first of June, but he has continued to make enforcement exercises in May, until which time he will remain in the emphasis of Tuskegee and in the capacity of held secretary. Referring to the honors which have come to him in being elected to the principalship of Vourhees, Mr Thomas said "I am very much elated and feel highly honored because of the honor which has come to me by the action of the board of trustees of the Vourhees Institute, and yet it is with a great deal of reluctance that I sever my official connection with Tuskegee. After taking up my new work as principal of Vourhees, I shall not be an official representative of Tuskegee, but whether the principal of Vourhees or connected with some other institution, I shall always be, I hope, a worthy representative of Tuskegee, because all that I am and all that I may hope to be I owe to Tuskegee" William G. Wileos, president of the Board of Education in New York City, and a trustee of Tuskegee Institution, and the principal-elect of Tuskegee, Major R. R Moton, expressed regret that Tuskegee would lose his valuable services, but thought it would be an opportunity for him to render great service to the race.

C. being among the 125 survivors of that catastrophe. For a few years Professor Layton was connected with the police department of Washington, also he was a member of the District National Guard. The Grand Army of the Republic had no prodder member through many years, and to this body Professor Layton devoted time and his rare musical talents. In 1891 he was appointed to teach music in our public schools. Only one other instructor in this subject was found when he entered the system. When he died there were eight, of whom he was the chief The influence of this man was not omitted to the schools, but went out into public civic service, in elevating the town and elsewhere. The drilling and interpretation of Coleridge Taylor's "Hiawatha" by Professor Layton revealed not only the genius of the composer but the rare powers of the leader.' Forty years and more he led the choir of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church here, and made it the Mecca of lovers of religious song. 'The splendid hymnal of the Methodist Church was prepared by him. He is the author of several musical compositions. The body Inlid in state in Metropolitan Church on Friday, February 18, 1916, on which day he was hurled. He studied at the Cardiff and Collins Institute, and Round Lake Conservatory at Martha's Vineyards, at the West End Conservatory and the New England Conservatory, as well as at Wilberforce University of New York, a doctor of music in 1906. He also studied under Dr. E. S. Kimball and Dr. E. Lent. He was a member of Eureka Lodge, F. A. A. M., and the Scottish Rite (33); the Colored Oldest Inhabitants' Association, the Colored Teachers' and Annuity Association of St. Luke; and the Bannier Aid Association. He leaves a widow, Mrs Julia Mason Layton, and two sons, J. Turner Layton, a musician of New York, and Alfred Mason Layton, a student in the M Street High School here. Miss Perthina Woodson Dead.

E. church He addressed the white people of the city at Carnegie Hall on Sunday afternoon.

He declared that before the children can reach the point where they can do the work that is necessary for the benefit of the race they must have properly trained and equipped bodies. He urged that children be well dressed and given proper physical training. Second he called attention to the duty of the mother in the matter of giving the children intellectual training. He warned, that the childish questions must not be hushed impatiently but answered intelligently. In fact he asserted that a child had the right to a good common sense answer to every question. Besides caring for the bodies and minds of the children he charged the mothers with the duty of giving them religious training and instruction of the mothers of great men on the lives of their sons, and declared that a mother should teach her children to fear God and keep his commandments.

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to The New York ACL A THREAT TO CIVILIZATION. Maximilien Harden, the German writer, has written an article which, if it expresses the spirit of the German people, involves a threat to the civilization of the world. In this article he declares that Germany is now willing to discuss peace on certain terms, and if these terms are not met the German Empire will have paid the last debt due to the world and civilization. The article concludes with the following paragraphs: "If there must be death, we will determine the hour. No neutral State could expect us to think of its advantage or comfort rather than the security of our life. "If a dispute with the United States can be covered over with any respectable formula, there need be no splitting of hairs; after a settlement of the Anglo-American dispute about the right to export and the making of cotton contraband and so on has become hot. "But if Great Britain is yearning for proof that we cannot wound her heart with submarines and air craft, and if she will not discuss peace until this has been proved, the United States must reconcile itself to the conviction that no further hesitations will cripple our submarine war, and no Stars, or Stripes will protect a ship in the war zone. "We are not tired, not afraid, and nineteen months of war have not paled our resolution. A worthy and moderate peace would be welcome; but the enfeebling of the Germans' power to strike, newer!" These words indicate that frightfulness has, perhaps, not yet reached its limit. If the Germans carry out the threat contained in Herr Harden's letter and the Allies retaliate in kind, it would mean the blotting out of European civilization. GEORGIA AROUSED. At last, it appears, the conscience of the State of Georgia has been aroused against lawlessness. The people of that state seem determined to make the enforcement of law the main issue in the coming election for state officers. This result has been brought about by the publishing to the world of the fact that one-third of all the lynchings in the United States during the year 1915 were perpetrated in Georgia. In addition, eight more Negroes were lynched in that same state during the month of January of the present year; this indicating that the record for 1916 would be worse than 1915, unless some radical steps were taken. We have wondered how long the people of Georgia would sit silent and allow the mob to trample the law underfoot and disgrace the name of the state. We felt that a limit would some day be reached. May Georgia not now only correct the evil within her own borders, but set an example for her neighbors. Some girls can't even wear an air of innocence without making it conspicuous.—Lafé. The flatterer makes believe to see us as we see ourselves.—Lafé. REFORMING REFORMATION. others live to see things they advocate, lie without even seeing their views we start a movement which goes ahead and start another movement to head an experience. Yet such has been the Rainy Day Club. As ago the Rainy Day Club was organized women's skirts. In those days women it swept up the dust or the mud of the wish to serve as a street sweeper it up several yards of dress in one or had her hands full, even if she was in who organized the Rainy Day Club or long skirt. They pointed out that it unnecessary. They set the example by the sidewalks. They endeavored to the shorter skirt was in accordance was hygienic; that it allowed freedom man the use of her hands. Nor it not was due to the efforts of the bow; but, at any rate, skirts began to tired the ground; then they kept going to tops. Nor have they stopped the pictures which we sometimes see, as we occasionally catch our eye, that a skirt on the ground is not considered too allow the ultra modes. The organizers of the Rainy Day Club increase and the length of the skirts did feel something must now be done. A meeting of the club was held a few test against the shortness of the shirt remains to be seen whether a campaigned out as successfully as was the can't believe it can. Anyhow, it seems women of the Rainy Day Club should information which they started only although they are women, that the club do not understand the psychosis that is not to be wondered at; it Why does a savage woman wear a round her ankles? And why does a larger ears and bands around her wrists, ears and flowers and various sorts of We are sure the women of the Rainy that accounts for the success of what they really consider a failure. We to attempt to reform or dictate fashion an appreciation of the underlying principle the reformation which was started by married too far, is not for us to say; he must be a limit. We hope, nevertheless, mening women's skirts will not have such "sidewalk sweepers" into fashion. So far aside from other merits, the shortest which is likely to keep dear to the far farer look younger, and undoubtedly gives the women a chic, petite, you be attained in the long gown. In was gone the rounds of the vaudeville like the women look shorter—and the new-bye, if the women of the Rainy Day station wish to get an insight on this youth under that vaudeville joke. Few reformers live to see things they advocate accepted by the world. Many die without even seeing their views vindicated. For a reformer to start a movement which goes ahead so fast and far that he must need start another movement to head it off, is a thing foreign to human experience. Yet such has been the case with the efforts of the Rainy Day Club. Some years ago the Rainy Day Club was organized to reform the length of women's skirts. In those days women walked around with skirts that swept up the dust or the mud of the streets. If a woman didn't wish to serve as a street sweeper it was necessary for her to gather up several yards of dress in one or both hands; so, every woman had her hands full, even if she was out only for a pleasure stroll. The women who organized the Rainy Day Club preached against the evils of the long skirt. They pointed out that it was unsanitary, unsightly and unnecessary. They set the example by wearing skirts that cleared the sidewalks. They endeavored to prove to their sisters that the shorter skirt was in accordance with common sense; that it was hygienic; that it allowed freedom of motion and restored to woman the use of her hands. Whether or not it was due to the efforts of the Rainy Day Club we do not know; but, at any rate, skirts began to grow shorter. First they cleared the ground; then they kept going up until they reached the shoe tops. Nor have they stopped there. We gather from fashion pictures which we sometimes see, as well as from living models which occasionally catch our eye, that a skirt twelve to fourteen inches from the ground is not considered too short by those women who follow the ultra modes. And so the organizers of the Rainy Day Club have seen their propaganda increase and the length of the skirts diminish at such a rate that they feel something must now be done to bring about counteraction. A meeting of the club was held a few days ago, and a vigorous protest against the shortness of the shortest skirts was registered. It remains to be seen whether a campaign for lengthening can be carried out as successfully as was the campaign for shortening. We don't believe it can. Anyhow, it seems like the irony of fate that the women of the Rainy Day Club should feel compelled to reform a reformation which they started only a decade ago. We fear, although they are women, that the members of the Rainy Day Club do not understand the psychology of women's apparel. But that is not to be wondered at; it is a subject for philosophers. Why does a savage woman wear a ring in her nose and bands around her ankles? And why does a civilized woman wear rings in her ears and bands around her wrists? Why do they all wear feathers and flowers and various sorts of shrubbery on their heads? We are sure the women of the Rainy Day Club cannot tell why; and that accounts for the success of their reformation amounting to what they really consider a failure. It is a waste of time for anyone to attempt to reform or dictate fashions in women's dress without an appreciation of the underlying principles. Whether the reformation which was started by the Rainy Day Club is being carried too far, is not for us to say; however, we agree that there must be a limit. We hope, nevertheless, that the movement for lengthening women's skirts will not have such success as to bring back the "sidewalk sweepers" into fashion. Still, that is hardly to be feared, for aside from other merits, the short skirt possesses one merit which is likely to keep it dear to the feminine heart; it makes the wearer look younger, and undoubtedly make her feel younger. It gives the women a chic, petite, youthful appearance which cannot be attained in the long gown. In fact, to quote a saying which has gone the rounds of the vaudeville stage, "The new style skirts make the women look shorter—and the men look longer." And by-the-bye, if the women of the Rainy Day Club or any other organization wish to get an insight on this matter, let them look for the truth under that vaudeville joke.

The Lusatian question was reaching some sort of a settlement; although there is little doubt that the note the Administration was about to accept from Germany would have been a distinct disappointment to the country. For days there was delay during which the attempt was being made to prepare the country for a backdown from "strict accountability." Then came Root's great speech, which made the acceptance of Germany's note impossible. If Root's speech had been made a day later it is probable that the Lusatian incident would have been closed. The Administration, in search for an excuse for rejecting the German note, seized upon an order issued some days previously by the Imperial Government to the effect that German submarines would sink all armed merchantmen of the allies after March 1. Our government set up that it could not go into a settlement of the Lusitania case unless Germany withdrew or modified its order to sink armed merchant, vessels of the enemy. But this stand has served to increase the Administration's embarrassment; for, previous to the new German submarine order, our State Department addressed a note to the entente allies to the end of having merchant vessels disarmed and indicating that the United States would change its attitude regarding such ships carrying armament and hold them as auxiliary vessels of war. Now, strange as it may seem, the very reason given by the Administration for rejecting Germany's final note on the Lusitania incident; that is, the new German submarine order holding armed merchantmen as auxiliary vessels of war, is in exact harmony with our State Department's note to the entente allies on the same subject. In a word, we are disagreeing with Germany for backing up something which we ourselves proposed. The country knows that the Department of State and no Administration has had such crises to meet since Lincoln was president; nevertheless, the country cannot overlook the mistakes which are being made.

C.-The Circle celebrated its nint in the spacious auditorium Potter School. The dee specially attractive, the co Certainly, rich people have a right to own pets, and they are right in treating them kindly, but the ostentatious show made by the mistress of this dog is not only vulgar but sinful. Why should such a thing be published in a newspaper? Here is the picture of a dog being wheeled about by a special attendant at Palm Beach, while in this very city there are-babies dying for the want of pure milk. How will this picture strike the fathers and mothers of these half-starved babies? They may not be able to analyse the question, but they are sure to feel there is something wrong with a civilization which allows luxuries to dogs and denies the necessities of life to babies. And some day the men and women for whom the struggle for mere bread is a bitter and relentless one are going to make an attempt to right that wrong. MAJOR MOTON'S SPEECH. MAJOR MOTON'S SPEECH. Those who read Major Moton's address at the recent Washington memorial exercises, as well as those who listened to it, could not fail to be deeply impressed by what he said. But nothing he uttered was more significant than his opening remark. A remark which was not included in his prepared speech, but which sprang spontaneously from his lips. When he faced the immense audience and the long ovation of applause had subsided, he said in words of convincing sincerity that he realized that the reception was not for himself personally, but for the Principal of Tuskegee. These few words not only conveyed the finest tribute that was paid to Booker Washington during the evening, but like a sudden flash revealed Major Moton's own greatness of heart and simplicity of soul. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Delighted With The Age. To the Editor of The Age: We are highly delighted with The Age and welcome its presence each Saturday. P. R. ANDERSON, Elizabeth City, N. C. Bishop Walters and the President. To the Editor of The Age: The "open letter" from Bishop Alexander Walters, which appeared in The Age in January 27 deserves consideration. First, because he has been the most outspoken champion of the Wilson administration; and, second, because he is beginning to see and realize the fallacy of the Wilson pre-election. It is gratifying, however, to note that Bishop Walters and those who saw as he did in 1912 are beginning to realize their error and see with natural eyes the Democratic its true and democratic awkwardness. It has been a conundrum to me for the past three years how Bishop Walters, with his intelligence and thorough knowledge of the history of the Democracy long. But let us be fair as he happens to be the honored presiding bishop of my church. There may be some extinguishing circumstances in his case. For instance, the now famous letter of 1912, which has been quoted in the book "The History of the Democracy and made the bishop believe that the leopard could change its spots and that Peter did not betray his Master. But I am frank to say that many less than a "half million" voters be as as as the "half million" bishop calls Mr. Wilson that "there is a sentiment abroad that it is not the policy of the national Democratic party to appoint and confirm Negroes to prominent offices." I feel constrained to agree with the bishop that that sentiment is as old as the Democratic party itself. The bishop will admit that that has been the policy of the Democratic party from time immemorial and will continue to be as long as Williams, Hoke Smiths, Vardamans and Tullis are at the head of the Democratic party. I hold no brief for any political party, but to save me I have never been able to understand how any sane colored man could advocate the principles and policy of a party that has always been the blatant and outspoken enemy of the Negro's civil police and political autonomy. I am a politically democratic party North, South, East and West is a menace to the Negro's overy interest. While Mr. Wilson may be commended for "audiences granted" and "favors glean" the bishop during his tenure in office he is, nevertheless, identified with a party whose history in relation to the Negro is稳固, stable and antagonistic to every interest affecting the Negro's growth in this country. We have felt all along that the bishop was true and sincere in his efforts to help his people, but we are compelled to confess that his energy and dedication to the mission of the Wilson administration was less than six months old when Lewis of Massachusetts; Tyler, of Ohio; Smalla, of South Carolina; Lee, of Florida; Napier, of Termesae; and North Carolina; Patterson, Johnson, Anderson and a host of others were peremptory displaced by white Democrats. Everybody knows the attitude of the Democratic party toward the Republican government, and consoal their antipathy and hatred for the colored man, be he Democrat or Republican. The bishop says he has been officially informed that Negroes cannot be appointed to responsible position in the government. We remember that new men. We remember that three-fifths of the Negroes of voting age in this country have been robbed and cheated out of his right to vote by the self same Democratic party in the most astonishing that Negroes might believe anything that Mr. Wilson says. "The hostile Negro sentiment" is characteristic of the whole Democratic party. Mr. Trump has said that White House his attitude has been diametrically apposite to this pre-election promises. He has neither done or said anything to convince anybody with 'gray matter' in their rumours of a potential collapse of 'liberalism' to the Negro. Finally let me conclude by saying that the reckoning day is coming and that the Democratic party will not fool any faction of the party that they did in 1912. For the brand of Calm is still visible on the Democratic brow and the colored voters throughout the. North and West will continue to vote as they have since 1860, with the exception of last election. WILLIAM H. HIGGINS, M.D. TUSKEGEE'S NEW HEAD. It is an fortunate that Tuskegee Institute, instituted in 1876, is it gratifying to those who are really interested in the work it is doing for the Negro race, that the man chosen to succeed the late Booker T. Washington as head of it believes, as he did, that the best friends of the Negro are the intelligent and broad-minded white people of the society. Major Robert R. Moton—he gained his title through actual service with the Hampton Institute cadets—the new principal of Tuskegee, is a full-blooded Negro, a. thorough black, and he is proud of the fact. He comes to Tuskegee from Hampton, where he gave he and Dr. Forssell, the whim principal of the institution, and an educator of the institution, and an While somewhat widely separated in their respective fields, Major Moton and Booker Washington, were friends that associated to do the same that former acquired an understanding of the ideas and aims of the late head of Tuskegee, and has both stated and shown determination to carry them out. "There is every reason that he is not a man but possesses those qualities and characteristics which will have as much if not more to do with the success of the institution than capacity. Speaking of his selection, George Gordon Little, well-known Lawyer and Democrat and former assistant district attorney, says in a letter to the New York Evening Post: As a man of southern birth who is deeply interested in the future of the Negro in the south and in much greater interest in the situation of Major Robert R. Moton to take charge of the Tuskegee Institution as the successor of the lamented Booker T. Washington. * * * Booker Washington was now more highly regarded and respected than among the white people of his community. * * * Undoubtedly he has done more than any man of either race to inspire hope of an end to slavery and to great problem (the Negro problem). Major Moton's views are all formed along the lines of his great preceptor, and I hope and believe that he will be equal to the task of leading the south will continue to and improvement for the colored race, but also growing and continuing sources of that mutual good will and respect which will enable the two races to pursue the great prairie to friendly and honorable destinies. Mr Battle's statement is a clear and accurate expression of that sentiment among the white people of the south, which has proven helpful to the administration, and race, race, race, along these lines, which will be most useful to its members.

LYNCHING IN GEORGIA. The following comments on conditions in Georgia, embracing editorial comment from the New York Globe, the Atlanta, Ga., Constitution, and opinions from two prominent Georgia ministers, will be of interest. They are self-publisher. (From the New York Globe) Governor Harris of Georgia pretends to be concerned over the opidemic of bovine tuberculosis, but Norvais have been put to death in the molts in the lae, few weeks, after Mr. Harris says that, unless conditions improve by the time the new General Assembly is elected, he will for the enactment of "more stricter laws to stop lynchings." It is difficult to make out just what "more civilized laws" Governor Harris has to mind. Lynching is murder and murder is a crime. At least it is so considered in every civilized country, and I believe that Georgia is a more easily state in a civilized country, this is a law on her statute, doing murder a capital offense. This is so, what more can Governor Harris ask? Jaws in the universe will not stop lynching if they are not enforced. As long as those who go in law know that they can gain rein to their passions without punishment, lynching never wiped out. There is a time for law and there is a time for art and the time for speech in Georgia is over. The Atlanta Constitution been conducting a campaign at the harbous lynching habit. The central and the article which follows how public sentiment is being argued in Georgia against the mob- A LYNCHING REMEDY. Atlanta Constitution. At the beginning suggestion of a remedy for the mob and mob law in Georgia is to colonel P. H. Brewster, one of the most ablest lawyers, in a state government elsewhere in The Constitution upon the fact that trial for crimes is necessarily held under our constitution in the county and community where the alleged offense is that Judge Brewster points out that the mob is the most devilish affection because of local influence and environment. "If so really mean what we say, and are in a mood about suppressing the extent which is damning Georgia in the opinion of the world," then Colonel Brewster suggests that the thing to do is to amend the law to permit the transfer jurisdiction in all cases of mob law to a court distant from the locality in which the crime was committed. Colonel Brewster expresses the opinion that this constitutional amendment accompanied by the appropriate statutes to enforce and carry out in detail would provoke an effort, remedy, he said, to arrest the person that, if arrested and they must go before courts and rors who could not be swayed by local sentiment or local feelings, Colonel Brewster's suggestion will be a valuable contribution to the discussion of a subject which is just now agreeing the state from one end to the other and which can properly and effectively if definite results in the direction of law enforcement are to be attained. There is no question that Georgia has got to do something to mitigate this lynching evil which is blaekening her reputation, not only abroad, as our own people have pointed out, threats to undermine the very civilization of the state. What that something shall be is a problem which state executive and state legislators have got to deal with. They may as well make up their minds to it and with it now. I like the sentiment on this subject is now well aroused and it is going to be krissy, crushed through press and pulpit the state over all the anarchy of mor rule is permanently suppressed. GEORGIA'S AWAKENING. from the Atlanta Constitution. True is nothing the matter with identifying Georgia as a georgian the laws and mob law. Georgia's inland Georgia's heart are both on the side. The trouble has been that Georgia's conscience has been as somebody had to touch the nervous it. When the nerve was used when the situation is put the people in all its suits—they are at it. They fight, and they are at last from their lethargy. It may not be questioned that when federal intervention became enough to reach the point of killing, even almost the point of through the department of justunning to take a city of the state or even that the treatment would be aroused and deeply. mob law and mob assassination be nothing short of won- Georgia's awakening means Georgia must and will clear her fissures and in future pro- crem and orderly record to the gratification will be prompted here on the part of good and the Georgians over the sweep- ration of Governor Nat E. of his purpose to work with stature to bring an end to Dr. J. Hardman of the World Law College, who said that he, too, will come out against mobs and their de- work. I have been no more significant in directing directly upon the subjec- tion the resolutions unanimously by the democrats of Haber- ber, Germany, and the United States, commending the fight The Constit- uals making for the enforcement and order, urging the press of state to battle for the supremacy demanding that Georgia offi- cially be removed from office shall state clearly what propose to do to put an end to lawlessness that has so greatly the state's good name. The daily and weekly press of Geor- gia and Alabama is upon the state in no uncertain term. The state or candidates who stand out for law enforcement will find a lack of commendation or approval in course from press, from public officials in office, from legislators and officials in overseas. All of the are demanding the re-enthrone- on of law and order. a powerful crystallization of son- tance have but one meaning, and their purpose to wipe out their punishment for crime in legal orderly way through her consti- duted courts. dates and of officials in high office, but for the press, far, the school teachers, in talking to the children of their classes, for the people themselves, and above all, for the ministers of the state to take hold of and bring the seriousness of this proposition to the doorstep of every home. There is opportunity here for them to take the stern lesson that if we admit justification of mob law for any single crime whatsoever, it opens the door to and means the ultimate justification of anarchy. It was Georgia's vital mistake that she did not crush the mob spirit in its very shell. Hatched and, full grown, it has become a hydra-headed menace to conquer which Georgia must marshal and more powerful forces. Georgia can crush it; more than that, she will. THE REV. C. B. WILMER. ATLAH, Ga. The Atlanta Constitution gave the following account of a sermon preached by the Rev. C. B. Wilmer, rector of S.E. Luke's Episcopal Church: In a strong sermon in which he condemned lynching and deplored its prevalence in the state of Georgia, Dr. B. Wilmer, rector of Saint Luke's Episcopal Church, urged his hearers to read the editorial recently published in The Constitution dealing with this subject. The sermon went into the subject of lynching at some length and the rector responds for law as the only method for bringing a situation which brings shame to the people of this state. It is time for the people of Georgia to show deep concern in a doplorable condition, said Dr. Wilmer, and they must be more merciful when it deserves. He expressed pleasure that The Constitution has taken such a strong stand against the lawlessness which is bringing irreparable injury to the state and which must be stopped. Georgia is to have the esteem of all the people and the people of other states. Every man whose interest has been aroused in the menace, said Dr. Wilmer, and who wants to play a part in the formation of a public sentiment which will end lynching, should carefully consider the editorial published in The Constitution and should give it his hearty commendation. "Especially do I want, to commend that portion of the editorial," said Dr. Wilmer, which urges that the candles for governmental purposes be on this subject. Georgia led in lynchings last year and it begins to look now as if we shall capture the pennant. Unless conditions are remedied we are going to find that conditions here are not vastly different from those in Mexico or Haiti. The church must perform the function of giving its support to enforce its laws." Editor Constitution: Your editorials calling attention to the sad record of Georgia in the matter of mob law and particularly to the fact that five men have already been lynched in this state since the year began, was no doubt read with appreciation and approbation, and the state of the state. The lynching last year of eighteen persons in the state of Georgia, being twice as many as were lynched in any other state in the union, has given the commonwealth an evil enmity which all patriotic Georgians have felt. The law of lawlessness is not restrained it may be expected speedily to reach new and disgraceful extremes. The time, too, has passed when lamentations, however profound and sincere, meet the needs of the case. The emergency demands practical measures of a radical kind. The issue must be met by our political leaders. It is probable that a number of worthy geniuses can form a force of governor. All of them, no doubt, will declare in the usual trite way that they will stand for the enforcement of the laws of the state. They should, however, go further than this plattitude and declare to the people whose votes they will seek what new laws they deem needed and what practical measures they propose to take if elected to prevent the violation of the sovereignty of the state. The raft who will continue to bring disgrace upon us unless they are sternly dealt with. Some may believe that it is beneath the dignity of a candidate for the exalted office of governor to have a plank on this subject in his platform. In that case he is too hampered by dignity to be the governor that Georgia is in need of at this crisis in her history. In her realizes that we have an Augean stable whose accumulated fifth threatens the health of the body politic and who has some consciousness of herculural strength necessary to cleanse it, and who also believes that the great masses of our people will respond to wise and vigorous leadership for the elimination of this evil. Not only should we hear from the chief executive, or his chief of Georgia, but we have a right to expect utterances upon it from the candidates for the other oices belg so eagerly It is not the chief purpose of this letter to make any specific suggestions, but rather to emphasize the need for some remedial measures. How would it do, however, to pass a law providing that prisoners shall be paid $ 2,000 out of the treasury of the county, the same being raised by increasing the tax rate in the county? Furthermore, it might be provided by law that every sheriff or keeper of a prison give a substantial bond guaranteeing the safety of prisoners committed to his custody. These laws might tend to arouse the job charge and to reduce the number of clever tricks by which prisoners are so often spirited away from our jails and prisons. But as already suggested the writer pleads ignorance as to the details of the remedy needed. The problem is one for our political statesmen and the law abiding and law loving citizens are with patriotic interest even anxiety to see what they will do with it. (REV.) NEMBERT G. SMITH. Marletta, Ga., January 28, 1916. Should I Not Try Lynchers Where Crime Not Rooted Says Col. Paint Breast Editor Constitution: Much in being said just now through the press about "Lynching," and our state is winning a very undesirable publicity as the banner state in this barbarous practice. Nobody who cares for law and order, who loves his state, and would encourage right and justice and upholds the courts and the administration through them of the laws, and preserve our civilization, indores this people, and the good people dophore such outrages. It becomes necessary, therefore, that some steps be taken to suppress it. I have read with pleasure and heartily approve your editors upon the subject. But we doubt whether it can be suppressed by any appeal to the intelligence and sentiment of the people at large. Lynching is the result always of some outburst of local feeling, caused by some crime, and those who engage in this barbarous practice know they are perfectly safe from any punishment, since, if punished, it must be through the local tribunals, and these local tribunals will not perform those functions which are necessary, before the lynchers can be brought to judgment. Local courts will alogies and punish those who are not unable to find out who the lynchers are; if they indict, the trial juries will acquit. Therefore, it is a farce, pure and simple. The whole world knows, in spite of all our protestations and denunciations of lynching, that no lynchers are ever punished, and cannot be under the present system. If we really mean what we say, and we are in earnest about suppressing the will of the people, the opinion of the world, the thing to do is to take steps which will insure for suppression. Under our constitution, it is not possible to indict and try one charged with violating the criminal law, except in the county where the crime is committed, and, therefore, the thing to be done is to charge the constitution to give jurisdiction some court distant from the locality of the lynching, and require the solicitor general of that circuit or the attorney general to prosecute those engaged in the lynching. Lot them be indicted in such court and tried there, the costs of the prosecution to be borne by the county yin, which the lynching took place, including a real estate tax, a bond or attorney general, and a reward sufficiently large to induce active and intelligent detective work to discover the lynchers. We are satisfied that such a change in the constitution, followed by necessary legislation, adopted to this particular crime, would put an end to the charge, and likewise, this barbarism will continue to disguise the state and set at naught every effort to suppress it. If we really mean what we say, then let us take this step. There sure are enough people in the state to secure the change in the constitution, and the legislature will be patriotic enough to enact the necessary legisla- ture to carry out the purpose intended. When you who on the purpose intended to engage in such savage practice will be forced to go among a people far removed from local influence and environments, and tried by juries who are nilt intimidated by fear or controlled by local sentiment, they will not take the risk involved, and synch- will become a threat. P. H. BREWSTER. Atlanta Ga. February 18, 1916. LYNCHING AND MOB VIOLENCE IN SOUTH Columbia, S. C.—The Rev. B. F. Riley of Birmingham, Ala., is creating sentiment against lynching and injustice in the South. By invitation of the Rev. Richard Carroll, Dr. Riley attended the Race Conference of South Carolina which met in Columbia, February 6-9. All the white men on the program spoke against injustice to the Negro and deplored mob violence. The Rev. Mr. Carroll, president of the conference, suggested that South Carolina back up Dr. Riley with $500. An organization was effected looking toward this end. The following are the officers: The Rev. E. B. Burroughs, editor Southern Reporter, Charleston, president; E. L. Cox, principal Avery School, Charleston, secretary; the Rev. E. H. Coit, Beaufort, first vice-president; J. H. Goodwin, M. D. Columbia, second vice-president; the Rev W. W. Beckett, president Allen University, treasurer. President Carroll stated to the conference that Dr. Riley could do more good in the way of getting justice and stopping mob violence than 1,000 colored preachers. He is fearless and brave, consecrated and earnest. The Race Conference meets each year in Columba. This was the eighth annual session with the largest crowd that ever attended. MORRIS WRITES TO GEORGIA ODD FELLOWS A new phase in the Odd Fellow situation in Georgia has developed by Grand Master Edward H. Morris of Chicago, who has written an open letter to the members of the order in that state, in response to many letters which he has received. In this letter he makes it appear that since B. S. Ingram and B J Davis are suspended from membership in the Order, it is entirely out of place that they should be allowed to serve as receivers or custodians of the property of the Order. After citing the fact that Ingram and Davis had been suspended for one year from January 15, 1916, and that the charter of District Grand Lodge, No 18, has been recalled, Grand Master Morris says. Every lodge—and every Old Fellow who hopes or expects to be recognized by the Sub-Committee of Management, to receive the password, traveling password Quarterly Circular, and to be admitted into and permitted to visit lodges of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows—wherever located and in Georgia and where the rulings and decisions of the Sub-Committee of Management. No Subordinate Lodge Expelled. No subordinate lodge in Georgia has been either suspended or expelled. The subordinate lodges in Georgia are a part of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, but the District Grand Lodge No 18, of Georgia, is no longer a part of the Order or in any way recognized by the Sub-Committee of Management. All lodges in Georgia now deal directly with the Sub-Committee of Management through Grand Secretary James F. Needham, Twelfth and Spruce Streets, Philadelphia, Pa. Section 27 of Law CII, page 82, of the General Laws, (edition of 1911) reads as follows: Sec. 27. Any member who shall falsely claim or pretend to be an officer of a district grand lodge ** when he is not recognized by the Sub-Committee of Management, shall be suspended or expelled— and section 28 of the same General Laws, on page 83, reads as follows: Sec. 28. Any lodge or other branch of the member receiving an official communiqué committing the same to be read in the lodge or branch from any person claiming or pretending to be an officer of any district grand lodge. ** when the same is not recognized by the Sub-Committee of Management as such, shall be suspended expelled. A suspended member of the Order is not allowed to visit a lodge or have anything to do with the work of the lodge. A lodge that permits or allows a suspended member to visit- during the time such person is suspended is liable to punishment, it may have the password withheld from it and its members or it may be suspended or expelled from the Order, or its dispensation recalled. All charges against a subordinate lodge in a State where there is no district grand lodge must be made directly to the Sub-Committee of Management. A suspended member of a lodge can not visit a household or any other branch or the Order where suspended. A suspension notice will be suspended lodge member to visit may be suspended or expelled, or its warrant recalled. As to the Endowment. The Sub-Committee of Management has not destroyed, nor has it sought to destroy the Bureau of Endowment of Georgia. It has declared suspended from the Order, for the period of one year, B. S. Ingram and B. J. Davies; but they are not the Bureau of Endowment of Georgia—just two members. Two members and many, many more have both other offices to this been declared suspended and the Bureau lived on—likewise the Order. All members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are equal in the eyes of the laws of the Order and before the Sub-Committee of Management. Every lodge in Georgia—every Odd Fellow in Georgia—by and through its or his attorney, should ask any and every court in which a suit concerning the Bureau of Endowment is pending not to appoint as receiver or trustee any Odd Fellow who has been declared Odd Fellows by the Sub-Committee of Management, and if such person has been appointed, his removal should be asked for. Lodges may make their desires known in this regard by electing a delegate to attend and meet in voluntary convention, at such time and place as they deem when. They call all other settlers the lodges can not agree, they should unite in asking the court not to appoint as trustees anyone who has been declared suspended by the Sub-Committee of Management. On this question no lodge can hesitate. The Sub-Committee of Management only transacts business of the Order with those of the Order in good standing with it. Appointment of Trustees. In the opinion of the writer, any subordinate lodge of the Order that is unwilling to have a court appoint (if appointment to have be made) as trustees or receive a Boundment Bureau beneath such Odd Fellows has been declared suspended by the Sub-Committee of Management, should without delay, withdraw from the Order as per Section 1, Law VCH11, at page 76, General Laws edition of 1911), as such lodges no longer form a true lodge, and therefore must be and truth; and this section of the law points to an honorable way for a lodge to divest itself of a duty that it does not want to perform. It may be that lodges through their representations may not be able to represent them, but want appointed trustees or receivers. As to who shall be appointed you may disagree, fall out, and be unable to agree; but you can agree that no one should be appointed who has been declared suspended by the Sug-Committee of Management, and this should be done. If a lodge does not send a representative to any convention, it can pass at a special or regular meeting a resolution like unto this— "Be it resolved by this Lodge No. — of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. That we request the appointment as trustees or receivers of the Bureau of Endowment only such Odd Fellows as have not been declared suspended by the Sub-Committee of Management; and, if any such person or persons, has or have been appointed, his or their valuation respectively requested and an unsupported Odd Fellow put in his place. Duly passed at a lodge meeting held this — day of — A. D. 1916, at — Ga." And this resolution should be signed by the noble grand and permanent secretary and the seal of the lodge put on it. And it sent to some Odd Fellow who is in Atlanta. Ga., and who is opposing the appointment of any suspended person and is represented in court by attorneys; and such attorney be authorized to represent such lodge. Even though you send a delegate to a convention, there can be no harm in passing such resolution. The Sub-Committee of Management has no interest whom you select as trustees or what brethren of the Order you choose. This is solely your own concern, but the Committee of Management will I believe define to in anywise transact business of the Order with, by, or through anyone it has declared suspended, during the time of suspension. With the highest regards and best wishes to the great army of loyal, faithful, and trustful troops, I am fraternally, EDWARD H. MORRIS. Chicago, Ill., February 14, 1916. FEDERATION WOMEN CALLED TO ACTION The women of the State, belonging to the clubs of the Empire State Federation, are advised by their president, Mrs. Mary C. Lawton, 173 Willoughby street, Brooklyn, of the approaching national convention which is to meet in August at Baltimore. The annual State meeting is to be held July 4 and 5, and the women are urged to make a good showing at that time. Mrs. Lawton has addressed the following open letter to the women of the State: To the Women's Clubs of the Empire State Federation: Dear Co-workers—It must be inspiring to all of us who were present at our last annual meeting, which was held in Auburn, N. Y., last July, to reflect, first on the benefits derived, and second on the harmony that exchanged between us. Back upon the splendid women who, through a sacrifice or another, had come from various parts of the State to keep alive the fire of organized womanhood, which to-day burns so brightly and cheerily in our bosoms, I am filled, and I know you are, with the courage and the spirit of meeting there was not a dissenting voice where the general interest of our work was concerned, not one disordant note on the keyboard of our deliberations. While it is both encouraging and inspiring to take a nosotrose of that memorable occasion, the cannot be counted in the past; that our effort has counted in the foremost moements among the women of to-day. There is enough volume of meaning in our State motto: "The end crowns the work; to ename our alliation and activities for the rest of our natural lives. A good beginning does not necessarily argue good work, but it can be comprehended without great labor. Faith, the Bible tells us, without works, is dead. So with words without deeds. Let each one of us realize our personal responsibility, our mutual obligation. Just a little more than four months realizes the mutual obligation, but in order to do this we must be up and doing if we hope at our next annual meeting, July 4-5, to report any appreciable gain in our work. The standard bearers who have brought victory to the Federation so far have wrought well, but the progress must be made. We must know that the national association will convene in Baltimore next August, our State organization must bend every efforts to present a commanding front. With gratitude for each, and every co-worker, I am yours for success. M. C. LAWTON, President of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs. Brooklyn, Feb. 14, 1916. NEW CASTLE HAS FIRST COLORED POLICEMAN N&W CASTLE, Pa.-Andrew Wells, 1717 Pennsylvania avenue, has been-appointed on the police force in this city. He is the first Negro to receive an appointment as a policeman. He was endorsed for the position by many of the most prominent people of the city of both races. SPINGARN MEDAL TO MAJOR CHARLES YOUNG Boston, Mass.—As a recognition of the value of his work in Liberia in organizing and training the native constabulary, Major Charles Young, of the United States Army, was awarded the Spingarn Medal at a meeting held the evening of Washington's Birthday, February 22, in Tremont Temple, Boston, Mass., under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P., with Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association, presiding. Governor Samuel W. McCall, of Massachusetts, presented the medal, which is awarded annually by Dr. J. E. Spingarn, of New York, to the man or T. woman of African descent and American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of honorable or elevated human endeavor. The medal has an intrinsic value of $100. The committee of award consists of ex-President William Howard Taft, Oswald Garrison Villard of the New York Evening Post, Dr. J. H Dillard of Virginia, director of the Stater and Jeanes Funds; John Hope, president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, and Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore. The first medal, awarded in 1915, was to Dr. E. E. Just of Howard University. Other addresses were made by Bishop J. W. Hamilton of the M. E. Church, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Dr. Alexander Mann of Trinity Church, and Dr. Horace Bumstead. former president of Atlanta University, and Major of the 43d Regiment of Colored Troops in the Civil War. By direction of the Secretary of War, the Commanding General, Eastern Department, designated an officer to officially represent the War Department. Major Young was born in Kentucky in 1868, and was educated in the public schools of Ohio. He was appointed to the West Point Military Academy from Ohio in 1885, and since graduating in 1889 has served in the 7th, 9th and 10th Cavalary, and the 25th Infantry of the United States Army. He was major of an Ohio battalion during the Spanish War. Afterwards he was detailed as superintendent of the Sequoia and Grant National Parks in California, where his "interest and ability were commended in formal resolutions by the Visalia Board of Trade, which declared that "by his energy and enthusiasm and business qualities displayed, the money set aside for improvements of the parks was most wisely and economically expended." In 1904 he was sent to Hawaii, and thence to the Philippines, where in the absence of the colonel he was in command of the regiment on several occasions. He was promoted to the rank of major in 1912, and sent as military attaché to Liberia. He was lately returned to the United States and will rejoin his regiment. S. W. Cor.

(FROM THE NEW YORK AMERICAN) If this is not the long-awaited great American play, the theatre-going public may as well give up hope. The problem it presents is peculiarly vital to America. And the breadth and sympathy of treatment given it by the author, the vigor and intellectual force of Robert Hilliard's acting of the man who carries on his shoulders the weight of a whole nation's crime and suffers for the sins of his fathers even unto the fourth generation, are adequate to the theme. Here, in "The Pride of Race," is America's most urgent and dangerous question in a nutshell. Mr. Hilliard may be taken as a protagonist of his country in his role of Deggan Folk. You see him first as the most fortunate of mortals. He has health, wealth, youth, friends, the joy of life and the promise of the girl he loves that she will marry him. It is as if the gods had conspired to make him happy. But in reality he is in the position of those beautiful youths whom the Aztecs were wont to set aside as sacrifices to the gods. They, too, were loaded with favors and crowned with flowers, until the hour when the keen sacrificial blade was ready to taste their blood. The hour came for Deegan Folk when his father, apprised of his son's approaching marriage, hastens to tell him that there is a bar sinister in his family shield. According to the harsh and inflexible rule of caste in Free America, Deegan Folk was a Negro. True, he had but one-sixteenth of black blood, filtered down from a mulatto great-grandmother whom an earlier Folk had married in a moment of madness and drink. But—his bride-to-be was a Southern girl, daughter of one of the proudest families in old Virginia, and to her that one-sixteenth would make him as repulsive as though he were ebony black. And there was the chance, only one chance in a million, but too horrible to contemplate even at that—the chance that if she should ever bear him a child it might be black! Deegan's father had escaped. Deegan was white through and through apparently, but still "the sins of the fathers" might descend as a curse on the unborn. It is here that the problem begins—problems, rather, for this play presents no one staggering question, but a dozen. What shall Deegan Folk do? Break his engagement, doom himself to celibacy and loneliness and end his tainted line? Tell Louise, the girl he loves, and trust to her mercy and understanding? Marry her without telling her, and pray to God that the curse might be averted? Deegan Folk chooses, but he finds no peace in his choice. Soon again he is forced to another choice, when he asks his physician the fearful question: "Are there no times when murder is justifiable?" Just such a question the South has raised more times than once when perplexed beyond sanity by the Negro question. But the doctor answered: And in his extremity Deegan Folk cries out: "Is there a God!" Once, when this "bride of race" came near destroying the young Republic, because there were men who honestly felt themselves, in virtue of their white skins, entitled to be set over their fellow men as rulers and owners, there were many who asked that question. The answer took four years to work out. The heart of the audience goes out to Deegan Folk as he pleads with his young wife. Will she cast him off forever for the sin of his great-grandfather—for a mere illusion? And then old prejudices, based on we know not what mysterious law of nature, turns one to the young wife's sida when she says sharply: "Is that black baby in there an illusion?" The brute fact, impossible to evade confronts us. So, perhaps for a moment, like Deegan Folk, we see no way out of such a coil but death. It looks so easy, so simple; a great "Ahl!" of sympathy for the anguished man goes up from the audience as the physician with cruel kindness wrenches the pistol from Deegan's hand. Then—what remains? For the man, for the country, whose pure stream of life is toomed with this infusion of black blood! There is no solution, you say. You are wrong. The solution is Love. But before it is reached one's sympathies have been enlarged and one's intellect exercised to embrace and feel and comprehend every side of a question as old as the world and as new as to-day's paper. The adjective has been sadly overworked of late, but none other fits, it is a big play. BASKETBALL (BY WILL ANTHONY MADDEN) Send all matter direct to 259 West 4th street, New York City, and have same in hand by Monday night of each week in order to assure its appearance in the current issue. Alpha "Big Five" is making all kinds of preparation for the return game with St. Christopher on February 29. "Big Five" is leaving no stones entuined to redeem themselves in the game. Alpha will not beat that the club is over anxious to wipe out its defeat. As far as St. Christopher is concerned they will be ready when the whistle blows. My opinion on the outcome of the game is pretty much the same opinion as I had about the game. Alpha will not beat the Wetzel system the team depends upon St. Christopher's individual players. If they are right and play and that system "Big Five" will again be defeated. I understand that Alpha has a new coach. This is a good move if the man is really a coach, and if the man is really a coach, wonders to put "Big Five" through a system in two weeks time, that can equal what St. Christopher has been under for three years. Still Alpha has a mighty good chance of winning if she uses the right line-up and if she uses the right line-up and only on the offense but also for the defense. If she quits for only five minutes and the St. C. men are right, the Wetzel system will again come through, but if Alpha plays St. Christopher team for team, man for man, the result of the game will be very even though St. Christopher has the edge on Alpha in the better system of coaching. "Chapple Gardner's Majesties met St. Christopher on their home court in the Parish House and lost to them by the very close score of 41-35. The game was like the Majesties must have been a big surprise to St. Christopher. It only strongly proves the possibilities of a basketball team. The basketball team of Troop 55 B.S.C. School with its Carlton Branch, Y. M. C. A., and rated as the Roy Scout Champions, would like to book games with teams in New York and New Jersey, averaging 110 lbs. Address all communications to E. W. Barrington (manager), Carlin Y. B. Barrington, 405 Carlton Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. On Friday night, February 25, the Carlton Senators, champions of Brooklyn, will meet the St. Christopher Tigers, lightweight champions of the East, at Saengerbund Hall, in a game that ought to be a hot one. The St. Tigers will have a win since 1912 and have not been defeated in the last three years. In fact the only defeat that ever had was by the Laitted A. C., which by an odd coincidence was under the management of Quentin Vaughan, who now manages the Cantons. Some of these very players are fans of Waughan. The Quentin team is the only one that has any chance with the Tigers and will undoubtedly put up a great game to win. Carlton's crack little guard Scott is still on the sick latt so will not be able to play. Last season the Tigers swamped Carlton by an overwhelming score but this season the Tigers have five percent better. This is Brooklyn's last game of note before the lenten season and as the attraction is first class and the hall very easily reached, there should be a large crowd to witness the game. There will be plenty of dancing and plenty of good music, so the ball will be called pleasure be sure to be on hand when the champions meet. The over-ambitious Vandals of Atlantic City received a most abrupt and decisive set back by the Spartans on February 17, with a one-sided score. This unquestioned and decisive defeat of the champions of South Jersey at the New York's "Big Four" eliminates them as contenders, killing their chances of ever appearing in New York again. New York is the basketball center of the world with Manhattan Casino as the garden spot of that center and when a team misses its chance to appear in the game, people of New York, they have indeed missed an opportunity. When the Vandals met the "pick-up" team of the "Incorporators" composed of second line men and subs and defeated them by the "referee wedge cage" forty-seven for outside shots they jumped for the ball on night commenced to make a bld for New York prestige. In New York there are four strong teams, namely "Incorporators" (world champions), St. Christopher. Alpha and Spartans. Any out of town team that can get away with these four is a woman team or a men team. Jersey hit the team of this "Big Four" at its weakest point and was instantly thrown back. It's a long, long way to Atlantic City and obscurity. The Cardinal-Hawthas of Washington, D.C. met the Wilmington Five on March 16, by the score of 40-16. The Cardinals continue to win on their route to New York where they will meet the world at Manhattan Casino on March 3. The last big basketball game before the beginning of Leng, will be the meeting of the. Cardinal-Hawathas, champions of Washington, D. C, and the "Incorporators" (world champions) on Friday night. March 4 at Manhattan High School, the team will be defeated the "Incorporators" and positive of doing it again. They have strengthened their team and have some former Howard University men in their lineup. The Cardinals have a good team and some of the men to be seen in action will be Henderson, Holland and Smith. In Smith, the Wash. State team will be guarded of dependence as he is the guard mat player "Hank" Williams so hard in that game in Washington. All New York know about the ability of Henderson and Holland. It will be a great game so don't miss it. See ady. Friday night, March 3, at Manhattan Casino will be a gala night. There will be a gala attractions with Douges perfect, mobile furnished for dancing. The Incorporator "Tigers" will play the preliminary game on March 3, lining up against the Athenians of Plainfield. Come out and see this New Tiger team in action for basketball news read the New York Age The following account is from the Yonkers' management Yonkers N.Y. The Carlton's journ- eered to Yonkers on Saturday night with the intention of having an easy time and plenty of practice with the Tigers, "Orange and Black Machine," but to their surprise they were held to a very close game, and were forced to extend themselves to every possible point of the game in order to stave off defeat. They started off like a streak of lightning and scored two baskets before Yonkers got going. But under the leadership of Capt, Giddings, the Orange and Black Machine started moving and before the Carltonts could score another point they were calling for time out in order to recover a little wind. After resting about five minutes the Carltons came back and started, off with another burst of speed, but this time the Tigers' guards intercepted all their formations and had them shooting all around the backboard. After playing about five minutes more the Carltons again called time out on account of an alleged injury to one of its players. After two minutes had elapsed the referee blew his whistle for the game to continue. But the Carltons had not had time enough to regain their wind and speed, so they did not respond to the whistle. After about five minutes more had passed Capt. Giddings refereed the Carltons to Rule 19, Section 4, which reads as follows: "Play shall be resumed in two minutes when time has been taken out at the request of either captain or for an injury." The Carlttons' manager then made a statement that he would not under any conditions abide by the rules, and that he would take his team off the floor if they had to play by the rules. The Tigers' manager had allowed eleven men to enter the hall free of charge, as players or officials for the Carlttons. Nine of these men were in basketball uniforms later. It seemed might strange that with nine players, the Carlttons were unable to find a substitute for their injured player. It was plainly seen by the spectators that the Carlttons had put their best team on the floor, and that if a change was made, it meant certain defeat for them, so rather than be defeated; they would accept the name of "Quitters." The line-up: Carttons—Shannon, f.; Wilson, f.; H. Jackson, c.; H. Brown, g.; C. Jackson, g. Tigers—Giddings, f.; Morgan, f.; Blackwell, c.; Hamilton, g.; Bowser, g. Umpire. R. Williams, of New York. The Tigers play every Saturday evening in the Yonkers High School Gym, on South Broadway, about fifteen minutes' ride from the Van Cortlandt Park subway station. Dancing is enjoyed after the games. On Saturday evening, February 26, the Settlement House five of East Orange, N.J. will play the Tigers in Yonkers. Special music. Plenty of time for dancing and enjoyment.

C.-Before the record crowd of the season, the Baltimore High School girls' basketball team defeated the girls of the Armstrong Manual Training School by the score of 7 to 3, and O Street Vocational School girls took the measure of their rivals from Cardozo Vocational School by the count of 18 to 9.

The first field day exercise attempted at Tuskegee Institute was held on the Battalion Grounds on Saturday afternoon, February 19. Beginning at 345 and lasting 6:30 there were enlistment features of an active combat unit. The vast crowd of students, teachers and friends from the institute community interested. The initial event was the battalion drill contest between the Monday and Tuesday battalions—the Monday battalion under command of Cadet Captain Ernest A Wright and the Tuesday battalion commanded by Cadet Captain Helen Hammond. The equipment in the drill contest was that the battalion was to execute seven simple commands in ten minutes. The judges, Captain W. T Shehee, John L. Anderson, Mia Ruth M. Logan, Captain R. Durnaby and Cadet Captain Emmanuel Lisk, rendered decision in favor of the Monday battalion.

SPORTING NOTES Binga Desmond Defeats Ted Merodith Binga Diamond, the Negro spinner, representing the University of Chicago, won with ease the suburban quarter mile that feathered the games of the Knights of St. Antony in the Forty-seventh Regiment Armory, Brooklyn February 22. There was no question about the superiority of Dismond over Ted Reddeth in this race, for he won deceleration, he loses seven yards. His time of 51 seconds is armory record. This is sufficient evidence of the runner's ability, as this mark has been shot at by the best middle distance runners in the wodid. Beside Meredith, the Olympic champion, who finished second, Billy Moore, the Princeton University athlete, Lennon and Tom Halpin trailed in Dismond's dust. Dismond, who holds the Western Conference championship at a quarter mile run, scored the $600 trophy. Meredith has two legs on the trophy, and would have had permanent possession had he won over Dismond. At the crack of the gun for the start Diamond rushed to the fore. Meredith, who had the pole, closed in, but at hundred yards Dismond slowed up and Lennon jumped in as Dismond. At the finish Diamond was second, Moore third and Meredith fourth. At the crack for the final lap Dismond got in the lead and finished seven yards in front of Meredith, who had worked up to second place. Dismond was strong at the finish and not a bit winded. In the hame stretch he ran easily, while the other runners were calling forth all their strength. The crowd that filled the huge building cheered Dismond to several seconds when he crossed the line. He led the same fight to Chicago. The copolitan daily papers hailed Dismond as another Drew. They claim that he he been crowded he would have done even better than 51 seconds. H. P.

Fifteen large committees are at work to make the fair a success and great care is being taken to see that the area is beautifully decorated and well filled. IN MEMORIAM.

By William Lewis Minott. Feb. 8th, 1916. Thou who whist on earth didn't stay. And through thine life did wend thy way; We thy children then were taught To love our God and fear but naught. Now thy stay on earth is 'oer. And we thy face can see no more. Still follow in thy footsteps yet The Grace of God that we may get. Our love for you cannot compare To God's own lover, our Saviour dear, Rest in his arms for now, his age. But parting brings a bitter sleep. Sleep on, Oh Father! peaceful sleep. Wake up, sleep; But hope to meet some future day. When time and earth have passed away. On February 20, 1916, at 10:30 a. m. Alfred I. Young, husband of Mrs. E. L.
