HAS THE LARGEST VOL. XXIX No. 24 NEGRO DEALERS AND RACETRADE The Age to Investigate Trade Conditions in Harlem and on Columbus Hill. A STUDY IN RACE PATRONAGE Investigation to Discover What Percentage of the Patronage Given by Race Goes to Various Race Enterprises. ALL LINES WILL BE TAKEN UP Articles to be Published in this Paper Will Cover all Avenues of Industrial Activity, Mechanical and Professional, as Well as Mercantile-Question of Business Location to be Considered Also. For several weeks THE AGE has been conducting an investigation into trade conditions in Harlem and on Columbus Hill, as relating to the comparative patronage given to businesses conducted by colored and white proprietors from members of the Negro race. The results shown by this investigation will be embodied in a series of articles to be published in the columns of THE AGE. It will be shown, accurately and clearly, from actual facts, just what proportion of the race's trade is being received by members of the race who are engaged in the various lines of business endeavor, and just what proportion of that trade not white tradesmen. In Harlem, for instance, there are several short order or dairy lunch restaurants conducted by Negroes. There are many of the same kind of places conducted by members of other races. It has been charged that landlords have discriminated against colored tradesmen by refusing to let them have the more favorable locations, although the neighborhood is populated almost entirely by Negroes. As evidence of this, it is cited as a fact that one colored man who had conducted a restaurant for a number of years in a particularly advantageous location on 135th street near Lenox avenue could not secure a renewal of his lease, but was forced to move to another place on Seventh avenue. His former location is now occupied by a Greek restaurantur. Many Race Enterprises A baker father a department store, a book store many grocery stores, millinery stores auto schools and garages a furrier, barber shops, news-stands bootlash stands, real estate agencies, employment agencies, salons and cafes, photographic studios tailor shops—in fact, nearly every line of business endures is being conducted by members of the race and it will be the aim of Turn in the forthcoming series of articles to show just what percentage of the money spent by the race is being spent with these colored merchants and business. Then, there are representatives of the race conducting enterprises allied with the mechanical arts. Mechanics of the race have organized an association, the members of which are engaged in the direct trades, and have made a strong appeal for the patronage of the race. Carriers, brick masons, plumbers, painters, electricians, iron workers, and representatives of other trades, are included in membership. In practice, with this phase of the merger, it is important that the facts brought out will show that there is no reason why the merger of the trade of the race should be given to these colored mergerprises. From a standpoint of race equality or stock, equipment or goods, the race merchants can be, in particular with the merger of fewer races. articles will continue with the cold is covered.

UNDER MANN WHITE SLAVE LAW Martyn was Supposed to be a White Man, Pastoring White Churches and Marrying White Wives in New York—Went to St. Louis, Claimed to be a Negro and Brought Pretty Negro Girl to New York. Arrested last Friday night as he was entering a theatre at 12th street and Lincoln Avenue, charged with a violation of Mann White Slave Law, the Rev. Ferrier F. Martin, who came to this city from St. Louis a few months ago with Miss Vera Davis, to whom he was married by the Rev. A, L. Murray, of Jersey City, after reaching here, was discharged from custody by the Federal authorities on Saturday. The arrest was made by Detectives Boyle and McGee, of the Fourth Detective Branch Bureau, West 123d street. Martyn was in company with the young woman, who gave her name to the authorities as Vera Houston. They have been living at 227 West 132d street. Martyn is the son of the Rev. W. Carlos Martyn, of Connecticut, a noted white clergyman, lecturer and author. Young Martyn graduated from the Union Theological Seminary, 120th street and Broadway. He had previously graduated from Columbia University. He married twice while living in New York, both wives being white women. In 1912, while pastoring at Llmhurst, L. I., he became engaged to another young white woman, a member of the congregation, but a strange young woman appeared and Martyn disappeared. Up to this time he had passed as a white man. Pastored in St. Louis. But he next turned up in St. Louis, with a colored woman, and began to pose as a Negro. His mother, who was of Spanish extraction, was, he claimed, a colored woman. His father had previously pasted the Plymouth Congregational Church in St. Louis, one of the leading white congregations in that city. This edifice is now occupied by a colored Baptist congregation, and in this church Martyn frequently preached while in St Louis. He is an eloquent speaker, with a brilliant and well-trained mind. He was very popular in St Louis until it was reported that the woman with whom he lived was not his wife. It is alleged that Martyn and the woman both made this admission. Securing an authorization from the congregation which he pastored to make a campaign in the East for funds for the church in the New York Martyn in St. Louis, shortly after and caused to New York, shortly after he left, the mother of Miss Vera Davis, a 17-year-old high school girl, discovered that the girl had left home. She traced the girl to New York and found she had joined Martyn. Mrs Davis made an effort to have the authorities apprehend Martyn at that time, but it was found that the couple had gone over to Jersey City, gotten a license and had the marriage ceremony performed by the Rev. A. L. Murray, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Oak street. As he had declared that he was not married to the woman he left in St. Louis, he was not held by the New York authorities. Just what the motive was behind this last development, is not known, but it is thought that the mother of the girl is making an effort to separate the pair and have her daughter return to St Louis. The girl stated that she did not come from St Louis to New York with Martyn, as he thought best they should come separately. She said that she left home first, going to Chicago, where she remained nine days. Then Martyn sent her money and she came on to New York, where he joined her five days later. They have been at the 132d street house ever since. When Martyn first came to New York last fall he was given a cordial reception by the pastors of the various city churches, and he preached on a number of occasions to New York and Jersey City congregations.

ME CAMPAIGN-STA RESORT WAITERS GIVE TO WASHINGTON BANK TO WASHINGTON FUND Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. TUSKEGGE INSTITUTE Ala.—Among no class of citizens was the late Dr. Booker T. Washington more popular than among hotel waiters, Pullman porters and the members of the race whose work constitutes direct personal service to the public. When the news of Dr. Washington's death was published in the papers of the country, the Red Caps of Philadelphia and New York sent telegrams of condolences to the bereaved family and in other words signified their distress at the untimely passing of the great educator. It was, therefore, a source of great encouragement to those in charge of the campaign for the Boone T. Washington Memorial Fund that the officers and waiters of the Breaker Hotel at Palm Beach, Fla., should voluntarily form a committee hold a memorial service and take a collection for the memorial fund The members of the committee were L. T. Parker, J. B. Crossett and I. Wallace Jenkins, and the letter to Secretary Emmett J. Scott in charge of collecting the fund, said. "We are committed to the democratic meeting in honor of our democratic leader, Dr. Booker T. Washington, and send you herewith the sum of $18, covering the collection of the evening taken from the officers and the staff of the office, is a small amount, but we hope you will accept it in the spirit of love in which it is given towards the $250,000 which is to be raised for the people as part of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund." ZION MINISTER JOIINS Washington, D. C.—According to reports circulating in this city, the Rev. S. L. Corrothers, for many years prominent in the A. M. E. Zion Church, has severed his connection with that denomination and become a member of the Baptist Church. The report is that he was recently baptized into the membership of the 10th Street Baptist Church which congregation is at present without a pastor. The Rev. Mr Corrothers formerly pastored the Galbraith A M E. Zion Church in Washington, but was moved to Philadelphia where he took charge of the Varick Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church. Because of a disagreement he left this church, and now it is thought he will become pastor of the Baptist Church which it is alleged he has joined. Mrs. Corrothers, wife of the minister, died recently, and it is understood to be his desire to remain in Washington with the rest of his family Dr. Corrothers has been active in political matters and at the general conference of the A M E. Zion Church in 1912 he was a prominent candidate for the bishopric. JEW SAYS PYTHIANS OUGHT SHUN ST. LOUIS Special to The New York Ack. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Columbus, Ohio —A very prominent Jewish citizen here, when he read in the telegraphic news of the daily papers that St Louis had passed two segregation ordinances by a vote of more than thirty thousand to seventen thousand, remarked "The Colored Knights of Pathas who voted at their grand lodge meeting in this city last August to meet St Louis year after next, should now resound that action. They ought to say to the city of St Louis 'If your electors vote to segregate our race then we Lodge shall not holding our Supreme Lodge on your city, we will define to you to continue. Continuing, this Jewish citizen said, 'Why should a great colored organization go to a city to expend at least five hundred thousand dollars the week of its meeting when that city has insulted the race by passing an unjust, un-American and damnable anti-race ordinance. No other race if your race accepts it, would carry its funds to be emptied into the pockets of a city that adopts a segregation ordinance. If such an ordinance had been adopted to affect the Germans, Irish Italians or Jews they would have promptly boycotted the city adopting it. WANTED! in Greater New York.

Scott to raise $250,000 on the two million dollar fund to perpetuate the memory of Booker T. Washington, founder and former principal of the famous school that will always bear his name, an enthusiastic mass meeting of the leading Negroes of Selma was held at the Talernacle Baptist Church, Minter avenue and Broad street, Dr D.

Burwell, Dr. J. W. Moorer, Dr. C. S. Taylor, Dr. N. D. Walker, the Rev. J. A. Martin, pastor of Green Street Baptist Church; the Rev. D. V. Jemison, pastor Tabernacle Baptist Church; the Rev. A.

Sunday Schools, secular schools, fraternal organizations, civic and social clubs, business firms, farmers and individuals and urge upon them to assist in raising the designated amount and thereby demonstrate their appreciation of the life and services of the great and lamented Booker T Washington, and to show their appreciation of the laudable efforts of the trustees of Tuskegee Institute to raise the two million dollar fund. The publicity agents, realizing that the appeal will test the patriotism and loyalty of the Negro race, will seek to kindle the fire of patriotism in the heart of every Negro in Dallas County and report the results of their mission at a mass meeting to be held at the Tahernacle Baptist Church on the fourth Sunday in March at 3 o'clock p. m. The Negro Business League of Selma is at the back of the movement and will seek through the publicity agents to reach every Negro man, woman and child in the county with the appeal to raise from $250 to $500. The plan will doubtless succeed WHITE REPUBLICAN SUES EDITOR FOR LIBEL Special to The New York Ac Special to The New York Age Aucuba, Ga. -- Alfred W.

EX-OFFICIAL FIGHTS FOR JUSTIFICATION Former Financial Secretary of Zion Connection Exonerated by Expert Auditors. CLAIMS THE CHURCH OWES HIM Letter from Firm of Auditors and Accountants Tells the Rev. Jackson that He had Accounted for all Moneys and that there was a Balance Due Him from Church-Bishops Make Official Announcement. Special to The New York Am. Birmingham, Ala. — Notwithstanding that the official announcement is made by the Board of Bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Connection that the former financial secretary, the Rev. J. S. Jackson, was short in his accounts to the amount of $9,112, which amount he was unable to pay, and was removed from office, the deposed secretary is making an effort to show that his skirts are clear and that instead of being short in his accounts the Connection is really in debt to him. Under date of February 28, the Rev. Mr. Jackson was furnished a letter by the firm of Lehmann & Melntosh, auditors, accountants and appraisers, which declares that an investigation of the accounts of the former secretary from May, 1912, to December 31, 1915, showed that the total amount of money received by him had been accounted for and that there is a balance due him from the Connection, as shown at the close of business on December 31.

The announcement says concerning the action taken To the Ministers and Members of the A M F Zion Church in America and Africa Greeting At the recent session of the Board of Bishops which was held in Montgomery, Ala. Jan 12-15, 1916, the report of the Financial Secretary, Rev J S Jackson, was read in which he accounted for his receipts and disbursements of General Claims for six months past, and for the whole year It shows a balance due the Church of over $(9,112,00) nine thousand, one hundred and twelve dollars This the secretary was unable to pay and confessed he could not raise more than two thousand or three thousand dollars of the said amount even if he were allowed until February 1st Though deeply sympathizing with our unfortunate brother and his family in the predicament into which he had fallen, the Board could see no other way to pursue than to obey the dictates of law, justice and equity A motion prevailed, which was adopted unanimously, that his bishops he called upon to make up the deficiency The Secretary of the Board of Bishops, Alexander Walters, was instructed to notify the bonding company Rev.

INGRAM & DAVIS IN CONTROL Large Meeting of Members of Order from All Over State Held in Savannah to Secure Control of Affairs. WANT OTHER RECEIVERS NAMED Not Satisfied to Have the Property and Assets of the Order Handled by the Old Officers, who are Under a Sentence of One Year's Suspension, by Order of the S.-C. of M-Policy Holders Organized. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Atlanta, Ga.—The Odd Fellows case, which was to be heard by Judge Bell on Saturday, March 4, was postponed to Saturday, March 11. It was called for hearing, but the postponement followed. This was the suit instituted by Dr. A. D. Jones, under which the old executive committee was named as temporary receivers by Judge W. D. Ellis. The result of this action was that B. S. Ingram and B. J. Davis were continued in control of the financial affairs of the District Grand Lodge. At a meeting held in Savannah, the State held a meeting and selected an executive committee of nine, which committee it was purposed should be named to the court on March 4 with the request that it supersede the old executive committee as receivers of the funds and properties of the Order. The meeting was attended by about five hundred members of the Order, many of them being present because of their interest in the matters to be considered. The meeting was held in the Masonic Ternple, West Gwinnett Street, and Dr. B. W. S. Daniels presided. The presence at the meeting of the Rev. W. Decker Johnson, J. C. Styles and J. M. Pitts, members of the old executive committee, and, under the order from Judge Ellis, co-receivers with Ineram and Davis, caused considerable discussion, especially as the three men contended for positions on the executive committee to be named by the meeting. Their argument was that they were surviving members of the deposed executive committee, and already temporary receivers of the property and assets of the order. Although this contention met with opposition, it was decided for the sake of harmony, to name the three men. The Nine Men Selected. There were 281 lodges enrolled by the credential committee, and it was estimated that about 150 lodges were represented. Any Odd Fellow in possession of the password was admitted. The temporary organization effected named Dr. B W S Daniels of Savannah as chairman, R F. Sharrow of Atlanta as secretary, and J. D. Powell as assistant secretary. In setting forth the object of the meeting, A. Graves of Atlanta, recognized as one of the leaders in opposition to the Ingram-Davis regime, advised the lodges that endowment money should be sent to B. J. Davis, receiver, under the order of the court. This is necessary because the endowment bureau is chartered separately under Georgia laws, and the action of the court in naming Ingram, Davis et al receives takes the operation of the endowment bureau from under the jurisdiction of the Sub-Committee of Management for the time being. The nine men named for the executive committee to be presented to the Lufton County Court are, Dr. B W. S. Daniels and Walter Scott of Savannah, A Graves and R F. Sharrow of Atlanta, J C Styles of Dawson, the Rev. W Decker Johnson of Plains, Dr. J. C. Atkinson of Macon, J Q Elias of Sparta, and J M Puts of Brunswick. These names will be presented to the court when the case comes up on March 11 to be substituted in place of the old committee headed by Ingram and Davis, which is now serving. Organize Policy Holders' Association. In the meantime some indication of the plans which are being laid by the Ingram-Davis Section in preparation for adverse contingencies is shown in the fact that a meeting of policy holders in the endowment bureau has been held and a temporary organization effected. At this meeting the Policy Holders' Association was formed, with permanent officers, for the purpose, it was stated, of protecting the interests of the policy holders under the laws of Georgia From the tenor of specials at this and other meetings, it is contemplated that so far as the action of the N.C. of M. is concerned the members of the order in Georgia holding policies in the endowment bureau will conserve their interests by ignoring the national body. It was argued that the policies would be worth more to benefit than possession of the password and that the sub-committee had no financial interest in them and only kept halt its contract in furnishing the password. The total consensus seemed to be that it a separation must come, this preferred the corporation and its property rights rather than the fraternal abilition Addresses were made to the meeting by A. Brown, P. H Head Dr. Wm P. Penn, B. J Davis, H. H Pace, Captain Jackson McHusan, Dr S. E J Watson, Mrs. Manne M. Hales and others, and the following permanent officers were chosen A. Brown president L. H W Bell, vice-president P. H Head secretary, M.

EDITOR SMITH DENIES LACK OF INFLUENCE Editor Harry C. Smith, of the Cleveland (cassette) writes the following letter to The Age, denying that Governor Wilson had turned his recommendation down in the case of the appointment of a deputy oil inspector.

Editor Smith states also that he had not endorsed any other local Negro for a position under the present administration.

THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1915 Dr. Charles W: Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, is the author of a pamphlet to be issued this week by the General Educational Board in which American educational methods are discussed and a number of recommendations made. 'One of the significant statements made by Dr. Eliot is: The changes which ought to be made immediately in the programs of American secondary schools in order to correct the glaring deficiencies of the present programs are chiefly the introduction of more hand, ear and eye work, such as drawing, carpentry, turning, music, sewing and cooking, and the giving of much time to the sciences of observation — chemistry, physics, biology and geography, not political but geological and ethnological geography. It is noticed that no reference is made to race or color in the recommendation. TWO DIME FUNDS. Last week a monster entertainment was held at the Hippodrome to aid the Marjorie Sterrett Fund. A score or more of the best artists in New York gave their services to make the affair a success, and a large sum of money was realized. It will be remembered that Marjorie Sterrett was the little white boy sent a dime to the New York Tribune to start a fund to buy a battleship for Uncle Sam. Several weeks ago RUSSELL GIISON, a little colored boy sent to THE AGE $1 to start a Dime Fund to go toward raising the required amount for the BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. This $1 was one-half of a cash prize his father had given him for passing his mid-term examination. Any comparison between the worthiness of these two funds will be in favor of the one started by the little colored boy. If a children's fund to buy a battleship can stir up enthusiastic support, should not a children's fund to help endow Tuskegee make an equally strong appeal to the colored people of this country. Let everybody, especially the children, respond to the appeal started by Russell Gibson. Send your dimes to this office, and THE AGE will publish each week the names of all contributors and the amounts. THE LESSON AT ST. LOUIS It seems as if partisan politics is not an important factor nowadays when the question of granting the Negro all rights and privileges to which he is justly entitled is put before the voters for consideration. This fact was made apparent to Negroes throughout the country last week when segregation won in St. Louis by a vote of 52,220 to 17,887. St. Louis is a Republican city and the colored voters are the balance of power. They are responsible for the success of the G. O. P. at the polls. And yet the Republican wards went strongly in favor of segregation. Here are a few facts worthy of respectful consideration: In Mayer Kiel's ward, the 15th, the ye majority was 1,355. In Kiel's own precinct the vote was 101 to 21 for segregation. The Republican City Committee, lost his ward, the 13th, by a majority of 3,235. Bohmoll's precinct went 10 to 1, 183 to 19 for segregation. The Fifth is a Democratic ward, composed of Jews, Negroes and foreigners. The Senator, Mike King is the Democratic committee. He delivered his ward against segregation, 616 yes to 884 no. The time will come when the VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON. CONTRIBUTING EDITOR A NEW ENGLAND VS. A TENNESSEE CONSCIENCE. The New Republic, a few weeks ago, published a letter from a Massachusetts correspondent, in which the writer had something to say about prejudice against the Negro in that state. The letter spoke for justice, but was far from being aggressive; in fact, it was rather mild; nevertheless it brought a hot reply from a correspondent in Tennessee. Simply as a study in the curious workings of the human mind under certain influences, we reproduce the two letters in full. The following is the letter from Massachusetts: Sir: In this article on "Isolating the Negro," Mr. Wehle remarks that, while there is no legal discrimination in Massachusetts against the Negro, there exists as a matter of fact actual discrimination. Unfortunately this is true. But to my mind the saddest factor of the situation is that the discrimination applies to all Negroes. In as much as we rightfully discriminate against illiterate and ill-bred whites, I see no reason why we should not also discriminate against the same type of Negro. But when a Negro endeavors to develop his character and to broaden his culture, and he receives from us frowns and discouraging hindrances, when his reward is not even equality of opportunity with the whites, then his case is pitiful indeed. It has been with much interest and speculation that I have watched the vicissitudes of a fine Negro's struggle. I suppose this chap possesses all the best instincts of the Caucasian. He seems to be the kind of man who is never satisfied with present attainments and to whom success becomes but a step to a more distant goal. He entered Harvard Medical School with the understanding that a hospital appointment was to be had after graduation. This appointment never materialized. Given such a Negro, educated, well-bred, intelligent, likeable, and possessed of the best characteristics of the best whites, there can be only one reason for ostracism. That is prejudice. And for anyone to suppose that the prejudice of Boston, Mass., is a superior kind of prejudice to that of Boston, Ind., or of Boston, Cal., is to be so smugly mistaken as to be almost beyond enlightenmen's cure. Is it not difficult to see how any supposedly enlightened person living under democratic institutions could take exceptions to the above letter? It expresses only justice and humanity; yet, read the following reply which it called forth from the gentleman from Tennessee: Sir. Mr. Walter C. Hunter, in the issue of February 5th seems to be troubled with an attack of ante-bellum New England conscience. Are there still people that believe in the racial equality of the Negro? Would he be willing for a sister of his to marry a Negro, to be doctored by one? To a Southerner the idea is too repulsive for words. The Negro has always been a servile race since the time of Noah's curse of servility on Ham. The highest civilization that they even-attained was in the Moors, and when they intermarried with the Spaniards they lost the best characteristics of both races. The same is true of the mulatto. No one denies that the position of the ambitious Negro is a pitiful one, but are we willing to lower the standard of the white race so as to raise the Negro? It has been demonstrated that the fusion of the two races-generally produces a sort of mongrel conglomeration. What we want to strive for is more race purity, instead of letting down the bars. If the New Republic that you are trying to build is one of mulattoes, I suppose that you will not publish this letter. Now Mr. Ewing's letter is such a display of ignorance and the prejudice begotten of ignorance that, of itself, it deserves no attention. But we take it up because the ignorance which it displays is widely spread, not only over Tennessee, but many other states. There are lots of people with minds as small and mean and dark as Mr. Ewing's who hold the same kind of views. And, too, there are lots of people with soft, spongy minds that sop up just this sort of rot. Therefore we feel that such letters and their writers should always be shown up. We say they should be "shown up" because "showing up" is the only method of dealing with those who try to palm off a mass of absurd irrelevancies for argument. Let us be charitable enough to pass over any comparison between the New England conscience and the Tennessee conscience as exemplified in Mr. Ewing. Let us take up the first two questions with which he, no doubt to his own satisfaction, counfounds and competely routs Mr. Hunter. He asks "Are there any people that still believe in the racial equality of the Negro? Would he be willing for a sister of his to marry a Negro or be doctored by one?" Now, regardless of anybody's belief in the matter, what has the racial equality or inequality of the Negro got to do with giving him a fair Crescent View. Tennessee.

He will learn to vote for his friends—be they Republicans or Democrats, and vote against his enemies—be they Republicans or Democrats. A few janitorships and other minor jobs should be spurned as a bid for the Negro vote. He should begin to put the Negro first and look after his own interests. HARLEM SUBWAY STATION Several times the uncivility of the subway attendants at the 135th street and Lenox avenue station toward colored people has been called to our attention. On one occasion a respectable young colored woman asked for two tickets; the man at the window evidently did not understand her and gave her only one. When she asked again for the other ticket, he wanted to know with an oath why she had not asked for it at first. One of Harlem's prominent colored business men was just behind the girl, and he took the matter up with the ticket seller, who handed out some more profanity, and didn't stop until the WALTER C. HUNTER for any supposedly enlightened personations could take exceptions to the justice and humanity; yet, read the north from the gentleman from Ten-enter, in the issue of February 5th attack of ante-bellum New England people that believe in the racial kind he be willing for a sister of his loved by one?

And, too, too, angry minds that sop up just this sort of letters and their writers should they should be "shown up" because of dealing with those who try to vanities for argument.

On another occasion, while passengers, all colored, were still entering the car, the guard with an oath urged them to hurry, and began closing the door. One woman was caught and had difficulty in squeezing into the car. Of course, nobody expects politeness from subway employees; they are impolite and discourteous at all times and at all stations, but we do not believe they dare go so far as to use profanity to passengers, except at 135th street, where they, perhaps think they can get away with it. In this, however, they are mistaken. They won't be allowed to get away with it. THE AGE will take it upon itself to report this matter to the proper authorities. What the subway people should really do is to place colored employees entirely in charge of the 135th street station. THE WILL IN WILSON. No matter how much Democratic "statesmen" may froth at the mouth when they speak of Roosevelt and Root, they must concede the fact that it is the sayings of these two men which, more than anything else, put the will in Wilson—Evening Sun. chance in the race of life? If a Negro is inferior, he simply won't and can't win. If he is equal and wins, he deserves his chance and his victory. That is all Mr. Hunter pleads for in his letter. We wonder if Mr. Ewing would be willing to look down in his sub-conscious mind and see why he is opposed to giving "inferior men" an equal chance? Would he hesitate about running a race with a one-legged man? If the Negro is so distinctly inferior, what possible harm can there be in giving him a chance to show what he can do? If Mr. Ewing will examine himself he will find that he possesses more than a suspicion that the Negro, if given a fair chance, will run a good race; if he is frank with himself, he will confess that he is possessed with a fear that the Negro, if given a fair chance, will win. In a word, Mr. Ewing's stingy little soul is filled with fear, nothing more or less than plain, panicky fear. His second question is less relevant than his first. Grant that he would be unwilling for his sister to marry a Negro, what has that to do with treating Negroes in general with justice? He must know lots of white men to whom he would object as brothers-in-law, but surely he would not advocate that they be denied any of the common rights of men and citizens on that account. And, furthermore, Negroes could not go around marrying "sisters," unless the "sisters" were willing. Indeed, the "sisters" would have to be more willing than the Negroes. This "sister" question is an old one; it was used to try to stump Lincoln. The posers of it feel that it completely establishes the Negro' inferiority. They also feel that it places them in the position of chivalric protectors of white womanhood. Their skulls must be too thick and their senses too blunt to realize that, according to their very own theories, the asking of such a question amount to an insult. How can they be so stupid in their zeal to prove the Negro's inferiority as to unwittingly imply that just treatment of him would result in white women rushing into the arms of colored husbands? This is exactly what Mr. Ewing's letter implies, especially the last paragraph. Let us also pass over the fable about Noah and Ham; it is too silly to be advanced or admitted as an argument in this day and time. As to the Moors: if our friend from Tennessee knows as little about everything else as he knows about the Moors, we pity them. His patronizing words about the civilization of the Moors in Spain incline us to sympathize with him in his ignorance. Let us quote tor his information the following paragraph from the Everyman Encyclopedia: "Moors in Spain, a composite African race, who, invited by the Church party to assist in the suppression of the Visogothic aristocracy, invaded the whole peninsula (710), and became the dominant power until the 11th century. Cordova was the center of the Saracen dominion after 755, when its university, famous in Roman days, revived. These Arab invaders, though luxurious in their mode of life, were a highly cultivated race, and in the study of mathematics, science, and philosophy, eclipsed all other European races. Through the Moors the culture and civilization of the ancients was chiefly preserved, and transmitted to the modern world." Mr. Ewing's statement, "It has been demonstrated that the fusion of the two races generally produces a sort of mongrel conglomeration" is untrue; for he uses the word "mongrel" to indicate a degenerate product. Nothing of the kind has been demonstrated. Our amateur biologist need not know that this fusion produced a Puskin in Russia, a Dumas, father and son, in France, a Frederick Douglas and a Booker T. Washington in the United States: let him take a look around him in Tennessee. What Mr. Ewing needs to do is to inquire seriously and deeply into his soul, and try and find out just why he wrote such a letter. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Read Negro Newspapers. To the Editor of The Age: The writer is longing for a medium by which the Negroes I this country can be stimulated. Of the importance of reading Negro newspapers, magazines, books and other periodicals. Through these channels knowledge is diffused to the masses that cannot be diffused to them through any other channel. Here is missionary work for Negroes who have formed the habit of reading Negro literature. We have in this country a common enemy to combat—race prejudice. Our efforts to combat this foe need guidance by a wise, discreet and level-headed general. We had one in the person of our late lamented leader, Dr. Booker T. Washington. That great leader fought our battle before the bar of public sentiment up to the hour of his death. He not only pled for our cause but taught us at the same time how to demean ourselves so as to win sympathy from the dominant race among which we live and serve. The Negro who succeeds the late Dr. Washington, not particularly as head of the great school established by him, but a leader whose counsel will prove upholding to the masses, cannot reach the masses verbally, but must rely upon the medium of the Negro press to influence a council and instructions he sends out. I have now reached the milk in the cocoanut. There are to-day nearly twelve million Negroes in this country, and the writer feels safe in saying that not two per cent of that twelve million of Negroes read Negro newspapers. In order that this point may be well understood by the reader, the writer will put it plainer: Not two Negroes in every one hundred read Negro newspapers. Now, then, how can a safe leader diffuse knowledge among twelve million of Negroes through the medium of the press, if only two in every one hundred Negroes read a Negro newspaper? This is a question that should concern every Negro in this country, because we need a sane leader to direct us in our battle against our common enemy—race prejudice. We must pull together if we ever hope to succeed as a race. Every race has succeeded through a sane leader; and that leader reached his people through the medium of the press. Raleigh, N. C. STRIKINGLY SIGNIFICANT. (Editorial, Atlanta, Gn. Constitution) Rev. S. B. Iedbetter, presiding elder of the Dalton district. Methodist church, in a remarkable communication, has been called upon by the nation only propose federal intervention as the only effective remedy, as he sees it, for lynch law. It would be a remedy, undoubtedly, but an unwelcome and an intolerable one. The most striking feature of Rev. Mr. Leddettle's communication is that a distinguished Georgia minister is willing to come out in the open and strangle to an evil in a remedy for an evil which has assumed desperate proportions. The state has the means and the power effectively to suppress lynchings and mob law. It is simply a question of applying the Probationary legislative branch of the state government. If they will speed up court procedure, make punishment for crime reasonably swift and absolutely certain, and then proceed to the uniform and unfailing enforcement of the law, the lawlessness through her own agencies. But if they do not? There is the question. It is then that we shall be called upon to fear and perhaps attempt to avert, with futility, the very remedy which Rev. Mr. Leddettle now is the only one that will do the work. Georgia will, under no circumstances, hear willingly to federal intervention or federal administration of her laws, and yet that is the very next step unless she gets a grip herself upon the order and holds it in effective check. We have already seen the omnious shadow upon the horizon; it will be well to take heed of the warning. But we should take heed not because of fear of what may come, but because we wish and desire and are determined to protect our own and the canker from coming out the force of strength that underlie its progress and development, that is assaulting the very groundwork of civilization itself. Prominent Minister Urges Federal Intervention to Prevent Remedy for Lynch Law. Editor Constitution: I have read with much interest the editorials and letters printed in The Constitution for the past few weeks on the subject of lynching. I am sure the discussion will do good. But I have seen no remedy yet suggested which law should be imposed, which worse instead of better, and we are coming to where a lynching makes but little impression on the community in which the crime is committed. To my mind there is but one remedy for this crime. To mention that will throw some folks into conspiracy fits. But the only thing I see that can meet the situation is for Uncle Joe to have an application in all cases of lynching. The state is helpless. It can't do a thing about the matter. No community will punish the lynchers. It must be done by the United States government. When Attorney General Gregory proposed to try Watson outside of Georgia a howl went up from one end of the state to the other. We were a reflection on the state we were a reflection on lynching consisted in the fact that Georgia cannot be depended on to enforce her laws. I know, and you TUSKEGEE INST. SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS SEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION JUNE 12 TO JULY 21, 1916 OVER 400 PRESENT EACH SESSION DURING LAST THREE YEARS know, and everybody else knows, that Georgia laws are not enforced with any degree of certainty against crime. I no more believe that Watson could be convicted in Georgia than that I can fly, no matter what the proof. I know nothing as to the truthfulness of the charges against him, and as for that matter I do not believe his paper. But Georgia is the vileness of its publications. But Georgia is helpless to enforce her laws against crime. Until the government takes this matter in hand, removing it from its local influences, the crime will continue. When the state either cannot, or will not, enforce the law and put down crime, the government should do it. The state will not do it. If the state won't enforce law, and preserve order, the nation ought to do it. The state has no right to a right she will not exercise for the protection of her people by the maintenance of law and order. Give Uncle Sam jurisdiction in all cases of lynching, and he will stop it. Without that the time car in the future when it will be done. (REV.) S. B.

Smith, 1723 Lombard street, has been appointed to the Bureau of Health and Charities as a collector of specimens in the Bureau of Health at a salary of $1,000 a year UTICA TEACHER FIGHTS UTICA INSTITUTE. Miss.—A bill has been introduced in the general assembly of this State to exclude white teachers from teaching Negroes. It is intended, primarily, as the author says, to prevent Negroes from being taught by Northern white teachers. In an effort to head off this movement, Wm. H. Holtzclaw, principal and founder of the Utica Institute, sent to the assembly an open letter, which was printed in the daily papers. The letter is as follows: An Open Letter to the Members of the I hope I read with much interest and with no small amount of regret, in the Clarion-leader of February 15, of the Introduction into your body, the white pages of my book, to proclaim the injustice of Negroes by white people in the State of Mississippi. I want to lift my voice against this as an individual as well as an institution, my feelings are representative of a large portion of my race in this State. I am impelled to lift my voice, first, because I feel that as Negro cities grow, it is necessary that we should seek to make our feelings known to our white fellow citizens. When I first read the bill as introductory, I was uninterested as to whether or not it was intended as a compliment. Nevertheless, I can think of few things that would hinder our progress in a more subtle way than prohibiting white teachers to teach Negro youth, war raids (I mean races that got a late start) have been able to make progress almost in the exact proportion their contact with the more progressive races has been brought into this country, and without a language. It has been by constant contact with the white race that we are to-day able to speak the proud Anglo-Saxon tongue. God him it is! He offered us the white man has去 imputed affairs in this county that there are left to the Negroes only two avenues of contact—the business avenues and the religious avenues. If these avenues can by any way be obliterated, then it means that the Negroes' progress will be hopelessly hampered. I cannot feel that very many members of the general assembly may be able to make the right and righteous progress. It is in the interest of the white race as well in the Negroes themselves, that the Negro should be given a fair chance to develop his God-given powers and that the same time, the assistance of his white brother in making this effort. As a teacher among my own people, I am thoroughly convinced that we are not yet able to go alone. We have to teach them when we can as a race, or even when the State can afford in justice to itself, to dispense with the services of white teachers and religious leaders among us, who have been of the most service to the South*. In every instance that I can call to my mind it has been those Negroes who have been of the Southern Missionaries of the white race. Whether it be Bishop Gaines, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and exhorting his race to demonstrate his own teachings by caring for his former master until his death, or the late Dr. Booker T. Washburn, who gave youths to usefulness, and exhorting them to put forth all their strength to develop the southland, to make it their homes, to live on, not only peacefully but with the thousands of others that might be mentioned, it has been those almost every time, who have received their inspiration from some white missionary and is his country a God, above prejudice. In this connection, I beg you to answer to each question, one man for himself. What kind of a Negro does the question ask? What kind of a Negro wants the ignorant, uncouth, unkept, bake, crapshooting Negro, or the hardworking intelligent, neighbor-loving, God-fearing Negro? The answer to this question no doubt, will determine whether the question will be asked to the former class of Negroes is wanted, then we may as well be forced of some of the best men and women who ever taught our race in the pursuit of northern missionaries and to the number of Negroes who have seen the light themselves, to carry forward the work if you want the latter, then by means, encourage not only the Northern missionaries but the Southern as well. But as de from this, if such a bill can become constitutional law, then it can also be made illegal talk to Negros and to do business with Negros. And it does seem to me that the whole tendency of the bill is in the form of a pre-tax and pre-tax capital tax rate of $1.50 a year, as the other, cramp, the heart of the white man, and the soul of the Negro. Only if man who is a Negro himself, and his own taught by white people, can be found fully what this thing has come to me. One of the first is a call to me, and a good gentle cat, which I can remembrain is the gentle cat, who is a woman who taught me during the early years. The things she had with me my mother cooked her food, and the way she was, and will be as far as the last. How much better we do your State, how much better we do your race, how much better we do your age, and life today could be a better way of the Northern male elders but Southern whites whose hearts are right. All that I have been able to do in the way of trying to be my own is so correctly and to lead me to them, I feel I love it to be a man, I feel it to be a man, I feel it to be a man, I feel it to be a man. I have always been with him as well as the teachers and men who men whom have come in contact with in the business And therefore on behalf of my race, I pass on my voice against the passes of the missionary in this State of the nation, in the doctrine is not sound, and we are not doing God's service as and stand for it, until you can find one from these many missionaries who has not proved worthy of the mission, but has not proven himself and more than equal to those educated in other schools, until there is that the Northern white mission, in white mission, matter, are not better than a liability, is not a better than a curse. I beg you in the name of humanity and cause challenging to vote for this bill. Will it be the W. Principal. With respect & Industrial-institute Direxia Institute, Miss. RACE HAS TOO MANY MORTGAGE SLAVES - JACKSON, Tenn.—At the Lane College Farmers' Conference Prof. G. F. Porter presented the following declaration of enthusiasm adopted by the conference: "We note with much satisfaction the continued progress and rapid strides so many of our people are making along all lines of human endeavor; and we can see the hand of Providence as the model of the fields itself in the development of a race between despised. We rejoice in the many signal victories which we, as freemen, have won in the brief semi-century of our race history. "Starting with practically nothing just 50 years ago, to-day we own more than $710,000 in land; 280,000 Negroes own their own farms and these farms represent an aggregate of more than 20,000,000 acres of average soils. While we rejoice in the opportunities that have come to us only as we gain the knowledge that will fit to grasp and use these opportunities well." Mortgage Slaves. “We recognize that in spite of the progress that has been made, too many of our people are still mortgage slaves; too many are still prey to the sharks that plan to build their fortunes from the Negro's toil. There is too much poverty—too much ignorance—and too much crime among our people.” “We, therefore, urge upon our leaders everywhere to see to it that our people get the kind of education that will make them honest, industrious, and law-abiding citizens.” “We condemn the illegal sale of spiritous liquors, and we pledge our support to the officers of the law to give information and otherwise aid in bringing to the courts of justice any and all persons we may know to be guilty of said crime.” “We challenge the right and justice in the present managerial practices of our government in spending thousands of dollars annually to increase the efficiency of the Southern farmers, not one dollar of which is directed to aid the Negro farmer who has been the burden there for almost three hundred years.” Increase in Mobocracy: "We deplore the fact that mobocracy in recent years has been on the increase instead, as we had hoped, on the water, and while we commend our government in sending marines to Mexico in the interest of humanity and calming her protests across the waters to guard the rights of Americans in belligerent territory, we suggest that our government would be more consistent in the eyes of the people, more merciful just in the sight of God, whom she claims to serve, if she would adopt some plan, concentrate her efforts, and bestir herself to give humane protection to the wronged, humble, defenseless Negroes living in her own borders. "The home is the unit of civilization. In most emphatic terms we urge our people to raise gardens, cultivate orchards, raise all kinds of poultry, raise the best available breed of hops, cattle and horses; providing an abundance of food and bedstuff, and thereby avoid being high at rest for what may easily be raised at home. "For the man whose meat hangs in another man's smokehouse, whose corn is in another's crib, and who by going in debt eats up his crop before he makes it, is not a free citizen; but is being crucified in the galling chains of slavery. "Finally, whatsoever things mean substantial race progress, whatsoever things tend toward a higher financial, intellectual, moral and spiritual plane of living, whatsoever things are good, whatsoever things are bad, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are just—be it known that the Lane College Farmers' Conference stands for those things." VIRGINIA COLORED MEN ONLORED BY THE WHITE IGNORED BY THE WHITES Richmond, VA.—Although one year from to-day the nation will inaugurate a president to succeed Woodrow Wilson, the monarchy is essential to Republican success next November, the Republicans of the city of Richmond held the biggest known convention to elect twenty-five delegates and twenty-five alternates to the Third Congressional District Republican convention, held in Richmond on March 8 and twenty-five delegates and twenty-five alternates, to be held in Roanoke on March 29 ever witnessed in this State The meeting was largely attended and was held in the Odd Fellows Hall, white, on Harrison street. The steam roller was used throughout. A temporary organization was gone into, and this was immediately made permanent. Two committees were formed—on motions and the other on resolutions—and these retired and a feeble attempt was made by three different white men to make speeches. Their efforts were very poor. The committee soon returned with typewritten resolutions and typewritten nominations of delegates and alternates, all white, and committees which of course had been prepared heedfully through and volume was allowed to make a motion, offer an amendment or say a word. There was a large Republican gathering of colored Republicans in the meeting, but they were not recognized; and although Lawer E. A. Randolph, Dr. R. E. Jones and Lawer J. E. Byrd repeatedly addressed the chairman he paid no attention to them, and looked scornfully at them. The former then denied delegate or alternate either to the district or State convention. It was a "illy white" cut-and-dried affair. The colored Republicans may elect delegates to Chicago. NEWARK, N. I. Newark, N. J.—The most unique picturesque and altogether enjoyable social function of the year occurred Thursday, March 2, when the I. B. W. Chapel opened its exhibition and hall. The spacious hall with its luxurious illuminations, its artistically garbed ladies and the sweet strains wafted round and about from Van Dyke and his efficient musicians were all features of praise and admiration. Another sight which resembled in loveliness a flower in the grand marche after the ladge members had completed the drill. For about an hour the dance floor was a mass of undeniable order and arrangement most strictly adhered to by those participating. Mr. Dancey and the lodge are proud of the arrangements which were complete and without a flaw under the management of Mr. Dancey. The lodge brothers and friends, those in any way associated therewith and even the commenting is proud of so commendable order as the Lodge of Elks, and those who have preceded him swell to think of their successful careers as exalted ruler, and just as they are aware of the safety guarded such an august body on and on to the termination of a successful administration, no less proud and happy is their present honorable leader, John M. Stout, exalted ruler. For to have the honor showered on one as was showered on his worthy head on another as was showered on his worthy head to be coveted by any man. In consideration of weather conditions and all things which might impede its success, any organization must struggle hard to rival it. The big revival now being conducted at Bethany Baptist Church, the Rev. R. D. Johnson, the pastor of Johnson, evangelist, continues the center of attraction in the religious world of Newark. Monday and Tuesday evenings were devoted to meetings for men and women only, respectively, and they came in for thirty persons have confessed Christ. -Mt. Zion Baptist Church, the Rev. J. R.

Many candidates were baptized Sunday evening when the Rev J. R. Brown preached the baptismal sermon. Among those baptized was one woman, ninety years of age. Mr. Olivet has taken on new life since the coming of the Rev. Mr. Fleming to the pastorate. Thirteenth Avenue Prastrybird Church, the Rev Dr. Eggleston, pastor, is making numerous efforts to make its anniversary week the greatest in the history of the church. The program as announced will be edifying and interesting. The Alpha Literary, which has as its president A. C. Fletcher, boasts of being the leading society of its kind in Jersey, and one has to but visit one of its meetings at 13th Avenue Church any Sunday afternoon to be convinced. They are never without a program, for should the person named to render a program fail to put in appearance, President Fletcher will be there with you for a few moments a splendid program is arranged from among its ever ready and talented members.

Provides THE NEW YORK AGE. WILLARD-MORAN BOUT. THE KL are some white Americans who stand unsurprisingly on the side of right and principle at all times, then there are others so biased and one-sided in their views they really believe that might is right, and are on as intimate terms with principle as the colored American is with the present administration at Washington. On racial matters in particular is this true of the last-mentioned species. Sometimes white Americans of opposite views with regard to right clash. The present controversy over holding the Wallard-Moran bout in New York is a case in point. Although deep down in their hearts many sporting writers know the Willard-Moran bout is bound to be a fasco, as both are second-rate men who easily could be defeated in a fair fight by four or more colored pugilists, they are working overtime on their typewriters in their heroic endeavor to manufacture interest extraordinary in the coming "event." In view of the fact no display ads are being inserted in the daily papers regarding the proposed bout, and taking into consideration that printer's ink has gone up fifty per cent, since the war and the price of paper takes the skyward course a la Zeppelin each day, these moulders of public opinion ought to be awarded iron medals by the promoters of the fight for their unselfish devotion and loyalty to so "worthy" a cause. But another element has appeared on the fistic horizon which threatens to undo all the excellent work of the scribes Assemblyman Martin G. McCue of Manhattan is acting as spokesman for those not favorably disposed toward the match being pulled off. The principal reason given by the McCueites for entertaining views contrary to those of the newspaper men is that the Willard-Moran match has been arranged for the express purpose of getting money out of the people who will be treated to a farce which will do much to injure the boxing game. A despatch from Albany states that Assemblyman McCue has offered a resolution in the lower house directing the State Boxing Commission to prohibit the Willard-Moran fight. Assemblyman McCue is quoted as saying: I believe this resolution will win support and that it will be adequate. My reason for offering it is that this fight will destroy the boxing game in this State. It is not a fight that will be fought by law. I have always been for the boxing game, conducted on a proper scale, and everybody that knows me knows this is the fact. The MacFarlane - Gibbons fight was nothing short of a hippodrome, but pulled a ton of money out of people in New York. A repetition of that burlesque. When the fight game is used to get money out of people to the detriment of the sport itself it is time to call a hail. I have already discussed this matter with other legislators, including some up-State men, and they are in accord with me. Although Willard and Moran are Caucasians, the public is being treated to the spectacle of white men of principle opposing the bout, advertised to be for the "championship title" for the consensus of opinion is that Willard has as much right to the championship title as a white man has to be elected Congressman from the "Black Belt" in Mississippi. As for the new Boxing Commission appointed by Gov Whitman, its opposition to mixed bouts seems to be more marked than the commission composed of Democrats. Some days ago a fight promoter had his license revoked because he had the temerity to advertise he intended staging a fight between a colored and a white pugilist and test the constitutionality of the rule prohibiting mixed bouts. It is said Gov Whitman and one of his assistant attorney generals have declared that the mixed bout ban would not stand in the courts. Word was sent out from Albany several weeks ago that the ban was to be raised. But certain influences unknown to the public must have gotten busy to stop this move on the part of the Boxing Commission, which is a good example of the disregard some have for law or principle whenever they are desirous of furthering personal interests or inclined to have their prejudiced appetites gratified The drawing of the color line by Willard, who knows very well he could not whip Johnson, Wills, Langford or McVea in a fight conducted on the level, is responsible for a new classification among the heavies "the white championship" and "the colored championship." That this condition exists is unconsciously made by the sporting editor of the Sun, who, in referring to a match between Sam Langford and Marry Wills, said in part "In New Orleans recently Langford knocked Wills out in the nineteenth round. Before that time Wills seemed well on the way to the colored championship." So if Willard and Moran meet in what Assemblyman McCue predicts will be a burlesque, it will be for the white championship, not the championship of the world. P. S. red paper here after note the distinction made. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Thomas Brookes with Sliding Watson Wrothe Co., played Berchel Theatre.

MACON Ga — The people of Macon have been quite fortunate this winter in the way of musical entertainments. First, there were the Williams who were not as largely patronized as the should have been due to their prizes. Macon people having not yet learned to pay as much as 50 cents admiration concert as on Tuesday, 29 they had the pleasure of listening to the Morehouse College theater Club and orchestra in a program that was replete with good things in a musical line. While the concert as a whole was of more than ordinary excellence the playing of the orchestra under the direct instruction of Prof Kemper Harold was unequally good and would have done credit to professionals. Their playing was not marked in the least but by the lack of harmony, uncertainty of attack and failure to respond to the baton that usually characterize amateur organizations of this kind but their playing was marked by a sweetness of tone sympathetic expression and a technique that showed that they had been carefully and conscientiously trained. Their performance of the Rose of Algeria was a masterpiece. But one of the most charming numbers of the evening and one that brought forth rounds of applause was the rendition of 'Little Dream Girl' from lieder by Andrew Taylor and the orchestra B. The way Mr Taylor is a Mason boy and a graduate of the Green Street school George D. Brock won the hearts of the audience by his readings from Dunbar. His equal is rarely heard on any stage. Lew who heard him last night will ever forget how he recited "How Luck Backslid" and "The Photograph" He was repeatedly enceen the closing number from Donzettus "Now the Night in Starlit Splendor" by the combined Glee Club and Orchestra was a fitting finale for one of the best musical entertainments ever given before a Macon audience It is not at all out of place to say here that a manlier or more promising set of young men has never appeared in this city. They made friends for themselves and their school whle here whose best wishes follow them. They were the recipients of many courtesies at the lands of the Morsehouse graduates and citizens generally during their stay. L. H.

BASKETBALL (BY WILL ANTHONY MADEN) Send all matter direct to 269 West 4th street, New York City, and have in our hands by Monday right of reach week in order to assure its appearance in the current issue When Alpha "Big 5" defeated St Christopher that in that return game on February 29, it was the first time in the game's year, and the winner of the first game did not also win the return game. It has always been that Sirs and Christopher has won both games of Alpha has won both games. The winning the first would also take the second. This season however, precedent has beenسيت في�, each club winning the game. Before a good sized crowd, but nothing to compare with the Lincoln's birthday house, the famous Big Five jumped away to a big lead over St Christopher, the same way by it. In the first game, the usual St. C did tightened up and cut down this lead until the second was almost tied Alpha was took a brace and increased her gain took a place. The 16-9 lead winning the first half by 16-9. In the second half both teams fought for all they were worth with the result that there was considerable�azness and much fouling. The nothing certain was that Alpha played a fighting game from the whistle, carrying the right to St. Christopher as well as being on the defense. However the Parish House boys beat Alpha in the second half by three points, the count being 18-15, but Big Five's staffed in the first half gave the game by the close match of four points. The game was very slow on account of so much time being taken out for fouling. Too technical a game always slows it up. There was one fine exhibition of speed though when St Christopher made that great again and the alpha was not defeated. The Five-Clarence Jenks, one of St Christopher's players, couldn't get started in the he was penalized repeatedly for fouling until finally he was taken out of the game. The same happened to Handall of the Alpha Club Robbins and James Jenkins played a very loose and open guard game as Wiggins and Dash the Alpha forwards were continuously� going behind them Harold Jenkins, who played such a remarkable game against Gilmore at their first meeting was no match in this game against Gilmore. The former Howard star simply toyed with Jenkins and out-jumped and out-fensially the entire game. The rest is that Gilmore really jumped this time instead of merely stretching himself. Then also he seemed to be in better physical condition. Again Irving Rose was the main-stay of St Christopher's team. At this though he was somewhat in his foul shooting. He was so very a good game. He was steadied himself and registered shot after shot. Several times he caged sensational field goals that brought the score closer and closer to Alpha. Rose is a mighty player and played a wonderful game all the way through. It did not be a good game. It was not a good game in the end of the 5th-hour. It was sent in at a loss time that it takes to tell the Rose-Lewis. It was a work with the result that he was not the top goals in rapid and quick. Right of this period he was not a good game. It was a cup of water and he did not have a forlorn. It was a forlorn. It was a joy to the fans. It would stop Alpha to take them as used as one of the Alpha guards and again he played a much improved game. The team work of秒 and Wiggins was fine and good. It was a good game in the end of speed and for mations that was a joy to the fans. Again George Capers was the backbone of Alpha's defense and played with every source of strength he possessed. Capers is also a guard who uses his head. He is truly one of the main队伍 in "Big Five"s machine. Since the last two years he was well a very long-time. The score 31-27, four points different in the way of the alpha's difference. It is a chance of defeating Wetzler's system St Christopher's defeat at the hand of Hampton in Virginia on Washington's birthday was the third straight defeat by the Hampton boys. It is evident that Hampton has the best team but I still maintain that St Christopher has more inside knowledge and playing this system were not able to produce the best results. The following is a list of St Christopher's defeats. January 28 Hampton February 22, Hampton February 25 Carlton February 29 Alpha This is four times within a month and the last better system has been beaten and the last three defeats actually all occurred within one week's time. Just think of it. Has the "system" gone back, or a new and better system been developed? Or are the St Christopher men playing that system not able to uphold it? One thing the coaches and the topper's chances for championship honors look very black. It looks as if the team has hit a slump "Incorporators" Defeat Cardinals. The big return game between the world champion "Incorporators" and Cardinal-Hlawathas of Washington D.C. was played on Friday night March 3 with the result that the Incorporators won by the score of 11-6. The champions were simply out to win and although the "Incorporators" played somewhat ragged they won decisively and left no question as to which was the better team. Cooper again led in the scoring for the New York bows, piling up 17 points. Captain Dickinson followed with eight points. Howard Johnson the Incorporators' new man played on Hank Williams in a game he himself just played in the fact that he had been woken up by a couple of days before the game, deriding this fact he made a remark he showing proving that he has veteran at the game and even bringing one held goal. He also made some pretty passes and altogether handled the ball in a way that plainly showed he knows the game. Accone and Brown guarded well with Berkinson as its ever on or off playing. Lardroid ridden on or playing a whole game at latter in the preliminary also played for a while in the feature event and did his all round good work. It was in this game that Harding was hurt but managed to finish the game. Sisco also played a very fast game. The preliminary was between the In- corporate Painfield, the "Incorporators" winning 24-18. In this game Captain Harding was the pivot and general of his team. He scored 10 points and had his men well in hand during the whole game. Greiner Turner the fast liner scored 6 points. Tiger scored 6 points and played an aggressive game all through. The boy is so fast that he is a little too fast for the ball no just as soon as he steadies down a little he will get better results. Savoy the scorer has scored the game he hard fought with the Cardinals doing a good deal of charging and body checking. The Athletians have a good team and showed plenty of speed. The line-up and summary of both games was as follows. Preliminary Game.

The basketball team of the Cheyne Training School, is playing fast basketball this year and are looked upon as the "Champions" of this section. A big game was played last Thursday evening in St Simons Hall Philadelphia when the basketball team of the Cheyne Training School was upended by the team of the Parish House. The general opinion before the guide was that the Cheyne team would be swamped. When play began the opinion wavered and during the second half it changed entirely as the Cheyne boys won by the score of 31-19 winning their fifth straight game. The work of the whole team was done by Newport lads and Joe Duplessis for Philadelphia led the attack for the Cheyne boys and made 25 of the 31 points between them.
