HAS THE AGGRESS VOL. XXIX No. 25 130 STORES;16 OWNED BY RACE 88 Per Cent of Trade on 5th Ave. 131st to 138th Streets, Is Secured from Negroes. It Is Estimated that the Proportion of Race Trade Given Race Merchants Is Only About Twenty Per Cent of Whole Twenty Stores, of 114 Run by Whites, Employ Negroes, and they are Mostly in Minor Positions - There are 243 Whites Employed in the Stores, Doing 80 Per Cent of the Business. Ninety-eight per cent of the trade that sustains the stores on Birth avenue from 131st to 138th streets comes from members of the Negro race. In that particular section, the only residents who are not connected with the race are those whose businesses are located there. And not all of the white merchants or business men reside in the district. As against the enormous volume of trade from the race there are only sixteen business places conducted by Negroes, which is only about 12 per cent of the total. There are 130 business places on Fifth avenue, from 131st to 138th streets, and 114 of these are conducted by white persons. Of the places conducted by white men, only twenty of them employ colored help in any capacity, and in most cases, these employees are in mental positions. Twelve of these business places are saloons, and two are wine stores. These fourteen places use twenty-eight colored employees, and of these seven are bartenders, one is a salesman, and one is a cook. Nineteen are employed as porters, waiters and delivery boy. Other businesses conducted by white men, in which colored help is given employment, include a meat cutter employed by a butcher, a porter in a second-hand furniture store, two women as laundresses in two laundrys, one tailor and an errand boy in a drug store. Negroes Conduct 16 Stores businesses conducted by whites shoemakers, an undertaker, bak- delicatessen, an electrical repair carriers, paint stores, hardware a fish market, a jewelry store, store, picture and art stores, res- ludes, and men furnishings, shop, tobacco and stationery fruit stores, harness makers The number of employees in the 114 places conducted by whites is only twenty-eight are colored. There are 242 whites employed in these and these stores cater to at least out of the trade of the district. Business places are conducted around by Negroes. There are one dressmaker, four gro- butcher, two pool rooms, one one printing office, a saloon room, and a confectionery employment is given to forty- persons, eighteen of that number employed in the saloon, and pool in some of the business places is done by the proprietor and especially in the groceries and act outstanding in the investiga- trade conditions is that the elec- trice race who are willing to give to merchants of the race is A careful estimate of the business done by race mer- cants fifth avenue in the distric tion shows that no more, than twenty per cent of the busi- ness by the colored merchants, and to be too large an esti- tude trade were given in pro- duce the number of businesses it only about 12 per cent, and it provable that it is any greater The merchants themselves the proportion as being all the ten per cent to thirty-three, above the latter figure, near- on very much lower. ```markdown ``` Suitable Locations Hard to Get. by some of the mer- tering of the difficulty ex- plained advantages loca- tions and difficulties including some real estate agents, dis- tract the colored merchant. who had formerly conducted in the district under con- trol informed THE Ace that a col- ored real estate agent had subjec- tured The New York Age NORWICH FOLKS TO HELP MEMORIAL FUND Norwich, Conn.—Through the efforts of Clement Reed and Mrs. Louse Hall a number of colored citizens met to form a club to be the Booker 1.

COLLEGEES TO DEBATE IN NEW YORK CHURCH IN NEW YORK CHURCHES On Thursday evening, March 10, three of the leading Negro colleges of the country will hold an intercollegiate debate in New York City. Lincoln University of Pennsylvania and Virginia Union University of Richmond, Va., will meet at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, West 53d street, and Wil伯力force University of Ohio will meet another team from Virginia Union University at the Bridge Street A M. E. Church, Brooklyn. The subject to be handled is: "Resolved, that the military and naval resources of the United States should be promptly and substantially enlarged and strengthened." At Mt. Olivet Church Lincoln will have the affirmative side, while at Bridge Street Church, Brooklyn, Wilberforce will take the affirmative On the same date and at the same hour at Wilberforce University, Ohio, a team from Virginia Union will take the affirmative of the same subject against a Wilberforce team. Much interest is being manifested by the alumni of these institutions in New York City, as this is the first time these three universities will have met in an intercollegiate debate. Special to The New York Age ATANTIC CITY, N. J.-Seth Cuff, probably the oldest colored man in the State of New Jersey, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs Thomas Lee, 122 North New York avenue. Tuesday evening, March 7 He lived to be 103 years old and was never ill, except for the last eleven days of his life, and then would not admit that he was sick but simply declared that he was feeling tired. During that period of his tired feeling he would accept no newishment but a little milk or broth at frequent intervals He was a man of wonderful vitality and was conscious until the end. Despite the fact that he was well on in years, he could read and hear well, was an excellent conversationalist and was interested in all important issues. During the Civil War he made application to join the army, but was refused by the Government because of his advanced years. He was born in New Jersey, a free man and is a direct descendant of the well-known Cuff and Gould family whose antecedents can easily be traced for two hundred years. The decreased leaves four daughters and three sons who are Mrs Mary E. Lee, Mrs. Ellen Harr, Mrs Caroline Pierce Miss Iydia Cuff, Charles Cuff, Archibald Cuff and Seth Cuff, Jr. There are also in the family twenty grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. There are four brothers living, the youngest being 92 years. him to such treatment, the result being that he he was forced to give up business. He is now engaged in searching for a store site. A white tenant, in the same building and with the same store space was given an advantageous lease to the same firm as refused to the colored merchant, and the reason, as alleged by the former merchant, was given to be that the white tenant's business had reached its full growth, while the colored man's business was continuing to grow. And that shortly after that time, the rent was raised, followed shortly afterwards with another raise, the consequence being that the colored merchant had to give up the store. The white tenant now occupies the two stores, according to the story of the colored merchant. One of the colored groceries in this district finds it necessary to leave his wife in charge of the store while he takes care of wholesale custom as a dealer in potatoes. He uses a wagon, drives to the wharfs and purchases his potatoes in quantities from the ships, and so has built up a considerable business on the outside. A dressmaker, assisted by her daughter, finds the bulk of her patronage coming from whites. The young lady has also taken a course in manicuring and hair dressing, and adds to the joint income by that service. But for the white customers they would not have very much business. Some of the merchants who are West Indians and who handle West Indian products receive a steady, consistent patronage from their countrymen, since the native products are generally only to be gotten from the merchants who come from the islands. Taking it in all its aspects, and making most liberal allowance, the fact remains that the members of the Negro race in this district constituting fully 98 per cent of the purchasing public are giving the bulk of that patronage to merchants of other races to the neglect of the merchants of their own race. The fact that of 130 places of business only 18 are conducted by Negroes, and hardly any of them enjoying a fair proportion of the trade, shows that the money being sent by the race is going into the coffers of the merchants of other races, including the Scotch, German Hungarian, Jew, Russian Canadian Italian, Greek, English, Irish and American.

BOWLES First Colored Woman in the United States to Hold Position of General Secretary of a Young Women's Christian Association-She Is Now Secretary for Colored Work in Cities. During the month of February nearly half a million women and girls from city and college associations, as well as county associations—some of which are located in far country places—rejoiced with one accord for lo! the year of jubilee had come—the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Young Women's Christian Associations in America. This is the most highly ramified women's organization in the world. The movement was started fifty years ago by a group of thirty women in Boston, Mass., who met to consider the needs of girls who came to that city to earn their living. Today girls of all types, all nationalities, all races, business girls, college girls, society girls, school girls, girls in Japan, girls in India, girls all over the world stand together in one bond of fellowship, for work, for play and for service. Until the last decade little and MISS EVA D. BOWLES National Y. W. C. A.

Twenty years ago there were affiliated with the American Committee of Young Women's Christian Associations seven colored students Associations. Associations at Claflin Straight, Tongaoula Universities, Spelman Seminary, and the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama became affiliated in the early nineteens, with what was then the National Association of the Young Women's Christian Associations. There are evidences of city Associations for colored women at a much earlier period. We hear of efforts at Lousville, Memphis, Columbus, Ga., and other points Dr. Caroline Anderson, the well known daughter of William Stull, of underground railway fame, recounts the activities of a flourishing colored Association in Philadelphia in the early seventies. Yet no doubt most of these efforts died for want of intelligent supervision. When the National Board was formed in 1907, Mrs William A. Hinton was appointed to spend the winter of 1907-8 investigating the possibilities for association work among colored women, and interceding them in it. She found four student Associations and four city Associations—New York Brooklyn, Baltimore and Washington. In 1908, Miss Elizabeth Ross was appointed to be the special worker for the National Board among colored students Miss Ross was succeeded in 1910 by Miss Cecelia Holloway, and Miss Holloway in 1912 by the present student secretary, Miss Josephine V. Puyon.

BANKS WRITES OF THE MOUND BAYOU BANK Mound Bayou, Miss—The following letter has been addressed by Charles Banks of this city to a stockholder in the old Mound Bayou bank, which is still in the hands of the receiver. In this letter Mr. Banks sets forth the bright possibilities for success for the new bank, and the same time he hows he are here every possibility that with the exercise of patience and indulgence the stockholders and depositors in the old bank will receive all their money. The letter is as follows: Miss Georgia White, 3564 Prairie Ave. Chicago, IL Dear Miss Whiter: Dear Miss Whytie: With reference to the new bank, I am glad to state that we have succeeded in reorganizing and opened up in October under the new Banking Law for Mississippi with the deposits guaranteed by the state. In other words, we are on the same footing as we were long ago and here again in the State. We had to go through quite a deal; it was trying time for me, in that I felt that I owed it to the town, community and the Negroes of the country generally to rehabilitate it if I could. This has been done in every sense of the word. It required quite a sacrifice, as out of the $12,000 necessary to reopen it, I provided $11,000, and, at the same time, I am not at present an official of the bank and do not care to be. As usual, Mr. Montgomery did his full part, and without his co-operation I hardly feel that the work would have been so well done. I recall that you had stock in the old bank. It is still in the hands of the receivers appointed by the State who have not yet made their report, but if we are given time, and our friends exercise patience and intelligence, the chances are that no one who has ever placed money in Mound Bayou will, in the long run, lose, for it has never been the intention or motive on the part of those who have stood back of this proposition to, in any way, abide the public. Of course, we have suffered more or less by reason of false representation on the part of agents and promoters representing Mound Bayou and who promised the public more than they could carry out, or more than they were authorized to do. As for me, I shall never feel that my obligations are fully discharged to the race and to the public generally until every promise, expressed or implied, touching any enterprise here is fully redeemed, and to this cause I am bending my best energy and thought. I am glad to state that up to the present we have recognized the reasons for our affinity toward the business of new zeal and hope in the breast of all of its citizenry, and instead of being downcast as was the condition at the time the war broke and depression was on them, they are today more hopeful and determined to make good than ever before. With best wishes and high regards, am, (Signed) CHAS, BANKS. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE WASHINGTON. D. C—A bill that is arousing much interest in Washington as to the office of Recorder of Deeds is H R. 7571, which was passed by the House of Representatives on February 14, and sent to the Senate. The bill reads as follows: AN ACT. DETECTIVES MUST FACE $26,000 DAMAGE SUIT On March 4. through Counselor John William Smith, Beni F. Thomas, pro- propriator of the Hotel Maceo and the Broadway Auto Garage, 213 West Sidd Street, filed suit for $25,000 damages against three detectives who are charged with having "framed up" on him when he was arrested two years ago on charges concerning the ownership of an automobile. These charges were ulti- mately thrown out of court and the case dismissed. Asserting that the arrest and false improvement, with its consequent hu- mulation and hardship had resulted in that financial Mr. Thomas pur- poses, he sought through his suit further vindication and financial preparation. It is charged that the officers were especially vindictive against Mr. Thomas because he was actively connected with the case of the little Letter girl in the Bronx in which case the detectives concerned were punished largely through Mr. Thomas' efforts, for neglect of duty ENGLAND PLACES BAN ON FOOD FOR LIBERIA ENGLAND PLACES BAN ON FOOD FOR LIBERIA American Mall is Also Delayed by England Making Search of Spanish Vessels. FINANCIAL EMBARRASSMENT Monetary Condition of Country Is Bad, and Financial Problem Is Demanding Attention of the Legislature-American Military Officers Made Good Record-Minister J. L. Curtis there. Special to The New York Age. Monrovia, Liberia. — Knowing that anything relative to conditions in Liberia is always of interest to your readers I have decided to send you a few items. Just at this time the Legislature is in session and both houses seem greatly absorbed in the problems that confront them. Of these the subject of finance is always uppermost, especially during war times. Liberia made such a nice start after the receivership went into effect that it is extremely trying right after the good times to find such general embarrassment. The understanding is that few if any of the government officials are paid more than half of their salaries. It will be at once recognized that it requires a great deal of patriotism to serve even one's country patriotically, for Liberian salaries are not as a rule what would be termed munificent. Another item that holds a prominent place annually before the Legislature is that of divorce. The Liberian law allows divorce for only one cause, that of infidelity on the part of the husband or the wife, but effort is being constantly made to add to this cause certain others such as incurable insanity, wilful desertion for three years, incompatibility of temper, etc. The clergy of the country, led by Bishop S. D. Ferguson, stand against any change, and have thus far succeeded. The bill now before the legislature proposes at least a half dozen causes. What the outcome will be I cannot say at this time. President Complimented American Officers. The legislature is also wrestling with the question of strengthening the militia arm of the government by making the militia more effective. Liberia has no standing army, but she has what is called the Frontier Force. These are native soldiers who devote their entire time to this service. The purpose for maintaining such a force is to preserve order on the boundary lines between Liberia and her two powerful neighbors, France and England, who made constant complaint that Libarian natives disturbed the peace of their territory and then fled across the lines. This organization has been kept in shape by the American officers loaned to the Republic by the United States Government and the Liberian authorities are very appreciative of their Charles Young, military attack to the Liberian Legation, took a leading part in this incident, while MaJ Wilson Ballard and Capt. I. T. Hawkins, who have returned to the States, and Capt. J. H. Newton, deceased, not only did faithful service in training the Frontier Force, but were all under fire a number of times. In his maneuvered address a few days ago, the President referred to these officers and the Force in very complimentary terms. As far as I can learn there is only one concession asked at this term of the legislature, and that is by an American corporation headed by one F. P. McMullens of the Far West. His concession proposes the development of Liberia's remarkable hard wood products in conjunction with the plan is to build a railway line to the city, the president referred favorably to this scheme in his message to the legislature last month and I feel sure he will recommend due consideration. President Howard's Inauguration. President D F Howard and Vice-President S G Harman, who were elected last May for a second term of four years, were inaugurated January 3. This was a great occasion for Liberia. The exercises connected thereto were conducted in the Hall of Representatives in the presence of a large audience composed of the Supreme Court, the legislature, the diplomatic and consular corps and prominent citizens generally. The procession in which a number of military organizations participated made a very fine display and escorted the President and Vice-President to and from (continued on page five). J. S. FRELINGHUYSEN CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR Special to the New York Age Trenton, N. J.-J. S. Frelinghuysen, a well known Jersey Republican, has announced his candidacy for United States on the Republican ticket at the primaries to be held in September. Mr. Frelinghuysen is president of the State Board of Agriculture, president of the State Board of Education and was formerly State Senator from Somerset County. His ancestors were among the founders of the Reform Dutch Church in New Jersey and his great grandfather served in the Revolution. When seen by an Age representative and asked how he stood on the Negro question, Mr. Frelinghysen said: "I am sincerely interested in the progress of the Negro and believe in giving him a square deal. I think he should have all kinds of education, especially whatever kind that will fit him for good citizenship. I was a great admirer of the late Booker T. Washington and believed in his teachings. I am very much interested in the Bordentown School and believe the institution should be made helpful to the people of New Jersey. I am in favor of a liberal appropriation for the school and think a representative should be put on the board or in an advisory capacity." Mr. Freelinghuysen in his talk with a representative of The Age was outspoken in favor of giving the Negro all the rights to which he is justly entitled—State or National. He also believes the Negro should help himself, open up opportunities for himsei along with others, to call all command respect and encourage his white friends who are anxious to aid him. Mr. Frelinghuysen, during the two years from 1910 to 1912, served as acting Governor at different times in the absence of Gov. J. Franklin Fort. In addition to being president of the State Board of Education and State Board of Agriculture, he is a member of the United States Chamber of Commerce. New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants' Association of New York, Down Town Association, Union League, New York Yacht Club, Adrondack League Club, Military Order of Foreign Wars, Squadron A Club, and is a Mason and an Elk. He is a member of the Patrons of Husbandry. CHISUM CONVICTED Special to The New York Arc. Guthrie, Okla. In Judge Chappell's court, after a trial lasting ten days, a jury found that the mistriving Melvin Chisum guilty of criminal libel, leaving to Judge Chappel the assessing of a penalty. The penalty can be $1,000 fine or one year in jail or both, at the discretion of the judge. The case was brought by former President Iman E. Page of Langston University, and was based on alleged libelous statements made by Chism in his paper published in Oklahoma City. Wm. Graham had already been convicted of blackmail, the charge growing out of the same case. It was charged that Graham approached President Page and suggested that a payment of $400 be made to prevent the publication of the libelous article. President Page refused to make the payment and the article was published. When the article appeared in print, President Page tendered his resignation to Governor Williams and immediately began the prosecution of the men responsible. His action was based on a desire for vindication, and it is considered that the prompt and unanimous action of the jury is full and satisfactory vindication. It was thought probable that with the verdict in his favor that President Page would be reinstated at the head of Langston University in place of I B McCutcheon, who succeeded him. But at the March meeting of the State Board of Education, J. M Marquess, who has been principal of the colored high school at Kansas City, Kan., for the past eight years, was elected to the position. President-elect Marquess is a graduate of Isk University and Dartmouth College, and his home is at Helena, Ark. His was the only name considered, although there was some sentiment in favor of a local man. But the board thought it best to get an outside man and the majority of the best colored citizens approve their action BRASCHER HANDLING WATSON'S CAMPAIGN INDIANAHOLL, Ind. In the great senatorial contest in Indiana, which has only been complicated by the recent State-wide primary, one of the race men brought prominently to the front is Nathan Daniel Brasher of Cleveland Ohio. Brasher had charge of the colored voters of the State in the interest of James F. Watson, one of the candidates. From present indications, the three candidates will carry their contest to the floor of the State convention, which meets in Indiana April 13. Brasher was born in Indiana, at Richmond, and reared at Connecticut, sixteen miles from Watson's home in 1903 he established the Cleveland Journal which he edited for eight years. He is married and lives with his family at 221 Fast 43d street Cleveland, where he maintains an office. FARMERS' CONFERENCE HELD AT ORANGBEURG ORANGEBURG S.C. All of the Negro farm demonstrators of South Carolina were present at the annual farmers conference held at the State College this month.

PRICE FIVE CENTS WEST INDIANS HONOR MOTON Educator and Wife are Given Rousing Welcome by Prominent Citizens of Jamaica. Mayor Simpson and Leading Educators of City Attend Reception Given in Honor of Distinguished Visitors at Mico College March 3 ENTERTAINED AT PORT ANTONIO Tuskegee Head Speaks in Complimentary Terms of Hospitality of Jamaicans and Beauty of the Country—Spirit of Harmony Prevails—Returns Feeling Much Improved in Health—Speaks in Northern New York for Washington Memorial Fund. Major R. R. Moton, principal-elect of Tuskegee Institute, and Mrs. Moton, have returned from a short visit to the West Indies, bringing with them many pleasant recollections of their brief stay in Jamaica. They reached New York Thursday of last week on the steamer Santa Marta after an uneventful but enjoyable voyage. Tuskegee's new head seems to have been greatly benefited by the trip, having entirely recovered from the grippes and although and Mrs. Moton were the most much social attention at Kingston and Port Antonio, being constantly on the go, the ten days on the water (five days going and five days returning) proved a most effective early spring tonic. Major Moton has nothing but profuse praise for West Indian hospitality, the spirit of good-fellowship that exists and of the island in general. Although he has visited many parts of the world, including Naples in Italy, he thinks Jamaica the most beautiful of all. Major Moton says the many courtesies shown him and Mrs. Moton during their three-days' stay in Jamaica will not soon be forgotten. Last Saturday Major Moton left on a speaking tour in the interest of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. He will be in Northern New York the greater part of the week. On Friday, March 3, Major and Mrs. Moton were guests of Principal A B. McFarlane of Mico College, which was attended by many prominent in educational work and other lines of endeavor. Among those present were Mayor H. A L. Simpson of Kingston, Hon. F. E. Reed, acting Director of Education, F. Cundall, J. L. King, the Revs. J. F. Gartshore, William Pratt, C. A. Wilson, Canon Harty, R. A. L. Knight, Ethelred Brown, W. Priestland, J. T. Hudson, Sister Madeline, Miss Howson, J. G. Peet, A. L. Walcott, J. Mills, C. H. Williams, K. N. Phillips, P. H. Peachell, Mr and Mrs R. W. Murray, R. B Watson and W. Thomas Linton. His Grace, the Archbishop, was unable to be present on account of illness, but sent regrets, asking Major Moton to pay a visit to Bishop's College. Speeches were made by Mayor Simpson, Hon. F. E. Reed and J. J. Mills. In his speech Mayor Simpson extended the distinguished visitors a hearty and cordial welcome to Kingston, saying that the people of Kingston and St Andrew welcomed them sincerely and would pay the keenest attention to the news of the industry of Major Moton's new office and work and they all hoped to have an opportunity of welcoming him again in their midst at no distant date. Teachers Give Hoarty Welcome. The following was read by J. T. Monroe on behalf of the Jamaica Union of Teachers Major Moton. Principal Tuskogege Institute. Sir: On this the occasion of your first visit to this island, the Jamaica to express her feelings to the teachers desires greetings here and kindest welcome to you. It is a source of general regret that your stay will be of necessity, so very brief, we had hoped that your high duties would have compelled you to leave the island and share good share of the rest and welcome which, we are, certain you would have received. interchange of ideas with you on the subject nearest to your heart and to ours—the education of our people. It was with pleasure that we learned of the call you recently received to guide the destinies of the Tuskegee Institution. This remarkable and successful centre of education teems with absorbing interest for West Indian Educators generally, and had time permitted, you might have found proofs that the efforts of Hampton and Tuskegee to uplift the status of the race have been, and are being, copied, if even imperfectly. By members of the teaching fraternity of the island. To wish you unqualified success in your new and responsible sphere of labor—success that would have earned the approval of your illustrious predecessor, Dr Booker T. Washington. Your career at Tuskegee will be watched with prayerful interest by the many well-wishers of your institution. As a result of varying local circumstances, our method of education in Jamaica may differ in the letter from your system in America: He assured however that we are one with you is to the aim that is, the betterment of the community among whom we are placed. While giving expression primarily to a Teacher, Welcome we venture to one in the world of good wishes to all of the people in our community. Major M. compliment to him mony and maica. He is kind and that human beings will almost everywhere. In speaking of Dr. Booker I Washington he stated Washington's life and work had touched and satisfied me, but beings than that of any other man. To the men who were willing to be come teachers he would say that the thing that Washington did to help his school was to make the school touch the life of the community that the school did little good unless it helped men to help others to be better citizens, better servants of mankind and of God. Unless education was linked with life as life was found and not with the ideal, it was no good. Major Motton advised the teachers to teach the people as they found them and help them to be better that for a backward class. It is important that the students live, and if they were to live, communities they should link them. books as books, simply customer- pictures, and by people had gained; and wherever they taught wherever they worked, they should teach the people to do the things they had to live by, to teach them to on the things they have lived. The speaker was heartily applauded throughout his address, and at the conclusion a vote of thanks to Major Motton was offered by Mr Reed who said the visitor was precisely what the "Gleaner" had said of him—that he was "a man speaking forcefully plainly and simply." The reception was brought to a close by the singing of the National Anthem On the evening of March 3 Major Motton met many of the prominent men of Kingston, including Hector Josephs, T.

From the Evening Post we take the following paragraph of an editorial which appeared in the Lexington, Ky. Herald: "False history is taught in the presentation of the operations of the Ku Klux Klan. Instead of a band of patriots, of high-minded and noble-spirited men, the Ku Klux Klan was a band of marauders who used the cover of night for the gratification of private greed, of passion, and of rapine. No more disgraceful was the regime of the carpet-bagger than the rule of the Ku Klux Klan. For some years Tom Dixon and others of his kind have been trying to glorify the Ku Klux Klan. They have tried to re-write the history of those lawless cowards and make of them the saviors of Southern civilization and virtue. Nothing could be farther from the truth. If all the crimes, except the great crime of slavery, that have ever been committed in the South were set down, the greatest number of the most dastardly acts would have to be charged up against the Ku Klux Klan. This glorification of a band of hooflums that worked only under the darkness of night was one of the worst evils of "The Birth of a Nation." It gave to a lot of people who didn't know the facts and who would never look them up, an entirely false idea of the history of Reconstruction times. It is good to see this rot exposed by a leading Southern newspaper. We hope that others will have the courage to follow suit. There are many things in American history in which the people of the South may take just pride, but the activities of the Ku Klux Klan constitute a record of which the South should feel heartily ashamed. It is evident that the Lexington Herald represents a class of Southerners who are ashamed of the record, and who wish to have it forgotten or are, at least, opposed to the effort to make it a matter of glory. More courage and truth so the Herald and the Southern thought it voices. ILLITERACY IN GEORGIA. A recent issue of the Atlanta Constitution carried a long editorial on illiteracy in Georgia. It stated that in several countries 50 per cent of the men above voting age are unable to read and write. The Constitution points out that this situation more than anything else is "at the bottom of Georgia's serious troubles—lynching and mob-law." Generally, when anything is said about illiteracy in the South the whole burden of the charge is laid on the Negro. The Constitution, however, goes to the truth of the matter and speaks plainly about white illiteracy. We are glad to see this powerful Southern paper confessing that white illiteracy is as great a drawback to the state as black illiteracy; and we hope it will, conversely, realize and preach that black intelligence is as advantageous to the state as white intelligence. The Mexican situation presents a very serious problem for the United States. This Government is face to face with the necessity of doing something, and at the same time with the impossibility of doing it. The astounding series of blunders which have created the present state of affairs must now be apparent to the whole country. The initial blunder, out of which grew all the others, was the action taken by the Washington Administration to overthrow Huerta. The manner in which Huerta reached the presidency of Mexico was none of our business, either politically, diplomatically or legally; yet for moral reasons the Administration made it its business to step in and oust him. Huerta was overthrown and run out of Mexico; finally dying a prisoner of the United States. Since the day he left Mexico City there has not been even a semblance of government in the Republic. Under Huerta, life and property were secure, and order was enforced; had he been accorded recognition by this Government, and received its moral support, it is reasonable to believe that Mexico would to-day be at peace. What a great many people thought, the whole country now sees, that is that Huerta was the one strong man who stood out above the hordes of petty chiefs and politicians and bandits. But that is all past history. The question is, what will the Government do now? Although the provocation is great, the Administration is reluctant about taking any steps which might lead to trouble with the Carranza Government. Yet, if some steps are not taken, raids like the one of a few days ago will be repeated, and the whole situation will be increased in seriousness. Why we should now be so thoughtful of the feelings of the Carranza government, when we seized and occupied Vera Cruz because several American sailors were detained for an hour or two by the police of that city makes our whole Mexican policy seem paradoxical. Of course, going into Mexico on the northern border, which is a rocky, barren, cactus-covered land, is a different thing from going into Mexico at Vera Cruz, which is the chief seaport and the terminus of the railroad which is the main artery of the country. It can be plainly seen that if intervention was to come, it should have begun at Vera Cruz rather than on the northern border. The whole situation constitutes a knotty problem, and we make no pretense at solving it; but, as a guess answer, we venture to say that we are backing into a war with Mexico. HAITI AND MEXICO. Colonel Littleton W. T. Waller, of the United States Marine Corps, was in general command of the American forces that intervened in Haiti. The Colonel has returned to this country, and a few days ago at the Bachelors Barge Club he made the statement that during the intervention the Americans killed 500 Haitains. He also stated that 22 Americans were killed. According to accounts, Colonel Waller has the reputation of a "fighting man." It was he, who, while going to the relief of some American forces in the Philippines, lined up eleven natives and shot them on the spot. These natives were acting as his interpreters and guides, and the Colonel claimed that he had caught them in the act of betraying him. For this action he was court-martialed, but was acquitted. He admitted the shooting, and justified himself by saying that he had been ordered by General "Hell-Roaring" Jake Smith to "kill and burn" and make of the Island of Samar "a howling wilderness." The late General Chaffee severely criticized the verdict of acquittal. Washington dispatches say that Colonel Waller is in line for promotion, and that his friends are claiming he will get a brigadier generalship if Congress passes the pending bill providing for three brigadiers in the Marine corps. They say he is not an active candidate, and would not be a candidate for an office yet to be created, but as he has been the ranking Colonel in the Marin Corps for years they think it would be extraordinary if he failed to get one of the brigadier generalships, and predict it will not be necessary for him to be a candidate. The statement made by Colonel Waller as to the number of Haitians killed by the American forces reveals some facts which official Washington, evidently, would prefer not to have made public. The incident stirred Secretary Daniels to say that he had not read the official report of the Colonel, and until he had he would not make any statement dealing extensively with the matter. However, Mr Daniels went on to speak as follows: "I talked with Col. Waller personally when he was here. He had explicit orders not to pursue the Haitian rebels and not to fire except in self-defense. These orders were carried out. We lost twenty-two men in Janti, most of them killed or wounded from ambush. Naturally Col Waller could not allow the Haitians to shoot his men with impunity. When shot at they promptly replied, and usually effectively." Five hundred Haitians and twenty-two Americans killed. These figures given out by the commanding officer of the American forces must be authentic. It is true that in giving them out at his club, probably over a glass of whiskey and soda, there was a temptation for the officer to brag and exaggerate a bit as to "how many niggers we killed"; but in all likelihood his figures are substantially correct. It is unnecessary to say anything about Colonel Waller; his reputation as a "fighting man" makes any comment uncalled for. Most likely his Haitian campaign will go toward securing for him his brigadier generalship. Neither is it important to say anything about Secretary Daniel's explanation, or rather, his apology. If the Secretary can construe the killing of 500 Haitians for 22 Americans, a ratio of 25 to 1, to be self-defense, we can only leave the matter to him and his conscience. What we want to know 1, how can the American people square the actions of the United States Government in Haiti with its attitude and action in our relations with Mexico? Haiti was having, its internal troubles, that is true; but it was not in any way molesting the United States. More than that, the lives and property of foreigners in the Island Republic were secure upon to insurey for the purpose of establishing peace and order. On the other hand, Mexico has been in a state of anarchy for four years. Not only has there been no stable government, but Americans and other foreigners living in the country have been killed by the hundreds and their property destroyed. More than that, American citizens and soldiers have been killed by the dozens along the border; and, to reach the climax, American territory has been invaded, a garrisoned town has been attacked and burned, and American citizens and soldiers slain upon their native soil by the invaders. Yet, we hear that no steps must be taken that would violate Mexican sovereignty. We do not propose to debate the question as to whether intervention in Haiti will result in good to the people of the Black Republic or not; the question we raise is, why does this Government declare that it was compelled to intervene in Haiti "for the sake of civilization and humanity, etc., etc," while in almost the same breath it declares that it would be wrong to do anything that would violate the sovereignty of Mexico? Why such respect for the sovereignty of Mexico, when the sovereignty of Haiti was violated for lesser reasons? We know that Mexico presents a bigger job than Haiti, but that ought not affect the principle of the thing. If the cause of "civilization and humanity, etc., etc," calls for intervention in a troublesome, small, black republic, why does it not call for intervention in a troublesome, big, brown republic? It can't be wrong in one case and right in the other. Nothing we have said means that we think this Government ought to intervene in Mexico. We mean simply to express our opposition to the hypocrisy which puts forward high-sounding altruistic sentiments as an excuse for avoiding a big, difficult task, while it puts forward the same sentiments as an excuse for performing a small, easy one. MAJOR MOTON (From the Gleaner, Kingston, Jamaica) In extending a welcome to Major Moton Jamaica will easily recognize that our visitor must needs be a man of more than ordinary ability to have been selected as the successor of Booker T. Washington. It cannot be assumed that man of African origin had no colored administrator and educationist of the required character and ability a white man would assuredly have been chosen. Hampton is an much devoted to the education of the Negro as dego. as Tuskegee and the head of Hampton is Dr. Friesel, a man of pure European descent. Besides, Tuskegee is largely, if not indeed matly, supported by endowment and financial contributions by white men and Mr. Seth Low, a man of pure European descent. men who are, in the last resort, responsible for the smooth and successful carrying on of the institutin founded and conducted with such beneficial results by the late Dr. Washington. When Major Moton waspromoted to the position it was in the belief, a belief based upon an extensive experience of this gentleman's ability and personality, that he was fitted to continue Washington's work. A great compliment was paid to him, he would have been previously shown that he deserved it. The work being done at Tuskegee, the ideals which that institution stands for, its symbolic signification in the history of Negro education and use of the language, all these are far too vital and important to allow of favoritism in the selection of its administrative chief, or of carelessness or indifference. We do not suppose too that Major Moton has ever possessed a display of favoritism, he has commanded recognition by merit alone. Major Moton is described in the United States as a man speaking forcefully, plainly and simply. We see in that characteristic the expression of a mind free from all tendency to appeal that if he cared he could become an orator, but his practical intelligence perceives that it is not eloquence but practical achievement which will win the Negro in the United States the position to which he legitimately aspires to be a leader, and to whom he modest man but one who perceives like his distinguished predecessor, that the education and advancement of the American Negro depend upon white and black alike. Speaking at a recent meeting in New York to some four hundred men of the American Major Moton said, I hope no one will believe that I, for a moment, think that I can fill Dr. Washington's place. I am earnestly and humbly aware that this is well-night impossible. It will require the combined energy and effort of the holding of the chair to reach the bench to the help of the Americans, and the object is distinctly stated to carry on Dr. Washington's work." We see in these words an earnest appeal to all the members of the Negro Race in the American Union, we also see in the holding of the chair to reach the bench to the help of the Americans, and the object is distinctly stated to be the carrying on of Dr. Washington's work, work which has not always been properly appreciated by the American colored people. Major Moton stands for the continuity of Washington's political life, which he feels he must embrace and the friendly co-operation, whenever and wherever possible, of the white and colored man. And though he himself says that he does not think he will fill Dr. Washington's place, the world will not be swift to change, and he feels that he needs to we feel assured, as we have said above, that no inferior man, no man that was not of a superior type, would have been appointed to the leadership of the Tuskegee Institution. In bidding him welcome to this colony, therefore, Jamaica feels that he should be who he is and high above the level of the average American, whether black or white, a worthy successor to one of America's greatest men.

For some reason the authorities of the Post Office Department of the States ceased to send our mail by English staff, preferring the Spanish steamers to visit, among other reasons, because ships are safer. The Spanish ship one ship per month to leave New York and one to leave Spain each month for the West Coast or Africa. This is here on the 20th, but seldom comes to the first or second week of the young month because of the interference in the English authorities, who seem to fear that the Spanish ships are constantly supplies to one of the German colonies in West Africa that has not surrendered to the English forces. There is the Spanish ship for some months has been going into an English port to have all of her cargo and even the cost in the bunkers discharged and examined. This delays our mail accordingly, with best in these days comes only per month. Minister Curtis at His Post. The New American Minister, Hon. J. L.

York to Sinoe, where there are hostilities in progress between the Government and the Kroos. These passengers came by an English ship from Liverpool. They are some disturbances still going between a portion of the Kroo trestle and the Liberian Government. The United States has shown its interest in Liberia by sending out the scout cruiser Chester" to assist in patrolling the area on the disturbed section. The cruiser has gone up the coast for supply, but may not return, but had made two trips along the coast. The captain has also taken much pains to look after some American missionaries who were located in what may be termed the war zone, and his officers have seemed to be very much the courtesies tenders from Liberian officials and protectors. American citizens resident here will all it is rather remarkable how much at home the American white man can make himself with his colored crew when it seems to him the thing to do. Embargo on Food by England. Liberia has been generally greatly embarrassed because of the short food supply, but that has been remedied by the coming of an occasional steamer from England, and also a schooner and steamer from America. In this conglomerate and Liberian merchants are much embittered because of the fact that the English government has blacklisted most of them. It is claimed that many of them are importing goods from England to America and transferring them to German traders. The effort is being made by the English authorities to cut off their supply thus afforded German traders, so that they may be completely driven out of business even in this neutrality. For this reason some of the Liberian traders of many years' stallage are not able to secure the goods to ship their patrons. Preachers Reported Killed. The annual Annual Conference, over which I B.

ATLANTIC CITY CHURCH HAS IMPRESSIVE OPENING ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—No student of race problems and no intelligent American citizen can fail to appreciate the significance of the Jethro movement that has been started in Atlantic City. There any many, many other colored Presbyterian churches, and have been for years, but no colored church of which we are aware stands for what Jethro stands in the popular imagination. We say the imagination, because that wonderful faculty is aroused by the thought of such a memorial in this late day of a grossly materialistic age to a man of color, living three thousand years ago, who contributed one of the most progressive ideas ever conceived in connection with human government and who, throughout all the intervening centuries that have witnessed the struggle for freedom, has, outside Jewish tradition, been practically lost sight of even in this great Christian republic. It appeals to the imagination to think that the old clear-visioned priest of Median was, according to every fair interpretation of Scripture, a colored man, and that he was not only the father-in-law of the great poet, warrior, statesman, philosopher, prophet of prophets, Moses, but was his preceptor throughout the forty long years in which God was preparing that great soul to lead Israel out of bondage and a world out of the barbarism of race prejudice. Moses failed. Race prejudice continues. Representative government has been supplanted by tyranny again and again throughout the ages. The children of Israel went back to bondage worse, far worse, than that of Egypt, but the great dynamic ideas generated in these sublime undertakings are still inspiring the souls of black folk and white folk for better things and will continue to do so until the ideals of Moses and dofs are redefined. The Theological Memorial Presbyterian Church, with the Rev. F. D. Tilden, acting pastor, was impressively dedicated with exercises running through three nights, and with many of the most prominent men of both races present and taking part in the programs. John E. Milholland of New York, whose researches have brought out many interesting facts concerning Jethro, the Ethiopian priest of Median, who was the father-in-law and teacher of Moses, took an active part and presided on Friday evening. On the first evening the Rev. C A Tindley pastor of Calvary M. E. Church, Philadelphia, spoke on the subject, "Where the Colored Line is Drawn in the Animal Kingdom" His treatment of the theme was unique and unusual. At the Wednesday evening meeting Dr. Newton Cadwell, pastor of the Olivet Presbyterian Church, one of the leading white churches of Atlantic City presided. He has worked earnestly with Mr Milholland in advancing the idea of a memorial to Jethro. Dr. Cadwell's subject was "What Jethro Church Stands For Here" Rabbi Henry M. Fisher spoke for five minutes on preludes that affect his race as well as the Negro On Thursday evening Dr Wm Sinclair of Howard University presided and in his address pointed out the national significance of the Jethro movement. Dr Mellen, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, spoke on the effect of vice and crime. The Presbytery was represented by the Rev. H. H. Page of Wemona N. J., who pledged the support of Presbytery, Good and Great Assembly to Jethro Church and by the Rev Samuel D. Price, pastor of Calvary Presbyterian Church of Camden and president of the trustees of West Jersey Presbytery. A feature of the occasion was the address of George Long, founder of the Inasmuch Mission. Philadelphia. Seven years ago Mr. Long was a tramp and a dope friend. He was about to commit suicide when he staggered into the Gallowee Mission and was converted. Since then he has built up the Inasmuch Mission, occupying a building costing $200,000, erected for him by Philadelphia business men where thousands of men regardless of race, are housed and fed. There is absolutely no color line in the Inasmuch Mission. Mr. Long's subject was "Is Heaven For White Folks Only?" Other speakers were Judge Clarence F. Clos, Dr F. B. Terry, H. Scott, Mr Norcross, Mrs George Long, and a recitation was given by Miss Carey, a teacher in the public schools. On Friday evening Mr Milholland made a short opening address, but defended his main address to another occasion. Visiting pastors and friends gave five-minute addresses Mrs. F. B Terry gave a dramatic recitation, "Constantus and the Lion," with her daughter at the piano. The principal speakers were Allen Sutherland, manager of the Presbyterian Board of Publication and Dr W. F. B DuBois, editor of The Crusis who spoke on "Ethiopia's Cali to the Colors." It is probable that the next General Assembly will continue the Rev. Mr Tilden as the regular pastor. AVANT ABANDONS THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH The Rev William George Avant, an Episcopal clergyman of the Diocese of Last California, has addressed a remarkable letter to the bishop of that diocese the Rt Rev T C Darst, in which he announces that, refusing to any longer bear ecclesiastical shackles, he renounces the ministry of the church. Mr. Avant declares further that in order to do God's work he should be free, and that he will continue to preach "as the Holy Ghost gives me utterance." His letter is as follows: Moorehead City, N C Feb. 28, 1916. Rt Rev T C Darst, DD. Rt. Rev. and Dear Bishop: In the name of God. Amen. Know you the name of the Lord. I william George Avant, Priest of the Most High God in the Ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, and in the Diocese of East Carolina, do now herein and hereby renounce the ministry of the aforesaid church. And since it is provided by the General Convention, and since it is and Canons of the General Convention, that such renunciation he made to the Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese; therefore I. William George Avant, desire that you, Bishop of the Diocese of East Carolina, give the necessary sentence deposing me from the Ministry of the aforesaid church according to the law of the same. Further: As it is required, in the above named Canon to assign cause forandom to make Ministry. my state that Ivolunteer to make a free will that I do, declare, and be- cause I am God's "man," refusing to hear any longer, the Ecclesiastical Shackles. I find, in order to do God's work, I must answer to him for my work, and not to man. "I shall continue to preach the word as the Holy Ghost gives me utterance." Yours truly (Signed) W. GEO. AVANT. IN NASHVILLE, TENN. Prof. George E. Haynes, director of the National League on JRian Conditions Among Negroes, writes interestingly from Nashville concerning the development of some features of the league's work in that city. Through the co-operation of Judge Wells of the Nashville city court, probation work was begun in the probation court, and there has also been taken up the question of adult probation work. The law does not provide for this phase of the work, but by the co-operation received from Judge Wells some preventive work will be possible. The charity work centering at Bethlehem House is the most responsible organization working among colored people and the league is co-operating. A charity commission of five citizens from the city and county has been appointed and some of the white citizens are assisting the commission in a survey of the charitable agencies in their efforts to check unworthy charitable enterprises. Some of the work is done by Fisk students, but more supervision is needed than can be given by Mr. Haynes and Mr Mowbray, who was formerly in charge of the league's Brooklyn office. AROUSING INTEREST Cincinnati, O.-Ralph W.铅, whose candidacy for delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention represents the protest of the Negro voters against denial of representation by party slate makers, asserts that he is receiving assurance of support by men of his race throughout Ohio. Negroes in every Northern State are taking up his fight to make a national issue of it. Negro voters of Clarke county, it is said will unite on Tyler, and his candidacy will be supported by all civic and secret Negro organizations in that county as an evidence the race is in earnest in asking for an actual voting representation in the national convention. George A. Myers, of Cleveland, who always managed the campaigns of the late President McKinley and Mark Hanna, in so far as the Negro vote was concerned has come out unequivocally for Tyler, and insists that his candidacy represents the desire of every Negro voter in Ohio who has a spark of race pride in his make-up. In Hamilton county Negroes realize that their constant demand for representation compels their support of Tyler in order to be consistent, and they have been given assurance that, in spite of the action of the County Executive Committee, the Negro vote of the county will go for Tyler for delegate-at-large. Negro voters of Ohio unlike white voters take as much interest in primary elections as in the regular November elections. This fact because of Tyler's candidacy it is reported has caused great concern in the Canitol and among the friends of J. J. Sullivan, of Cleveland, the prodigally returned Bull Mooser.-The Cincinnati Engineer. 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF CHI DELTA MUF Washington, D.C.-The reception and dance given by Alpha Chapter of the Chi Delta Mu Fraternity of Howard Medical School at its Chapter House, 301 Tea street, northwest, celebrated its third anniversary.

Mr. Kirkland's death was not unexpected, for his health had been very poor for about a year, and since last September he was confined to his bed. Mrs. Kirkland, the wife and mother, died last June. Mr Kirkland was born in Kershaw County in 1845, just a few miles west of where he lived when the end came. He was born a slave and was owned by his father until after the war. After freedom he started life for himself with nothing but a will to accomplish something in the world. God blessed him with health and ability to grasp every passing opportunity, and it is said at his death he was worth more than one hundred thousand dollars. After deeding plantations to each of his five children, and one each to three sets of grandchildren, there still remain a half dozen more to be divided. One among the largest of his plantations contained fourteen hundred and seventy acres, which tract was deeded to his son, G. C. Kirkland. The life of this great man should be an inspiration to all ambitious young men who are determined to succeed in life regardless of obstacles. The funeral services were held at 11 o'clock Thursday morning at the A. M. E. Z. Church of Westville, of which Mr. Kirkland was a member. The pastor, the Rev, J. W. Massey, officiated. The Rev, J. W. Boykin of Camden, the Rev. I Duren of the Flat Rock section, O. B. Drakeford, a merchant of Kershaw and Dr W I.

They spoke of law as a mother and business man. Dr W I. McDowell a prominent physician of Kershaw S. C., spoke of the mature friendship that existed between himself and the decreased Dr McDowell said he had repeatedly appealed to Mr. Kirkland for favors in a business way and had never been turned away, stated it to Mr. Kirkland granted all favors he asked of him save selling land.

WALTON) sx F the many rdcitals on the local “musical calendar for Sunday last, the one in which Mr, and Mrs. David Mannes appeared at the Music School Settlement for Colored People, 4 and 6 West 13ist street, while minus thé atmosphere of Camegie of Acolian Hall, and stdged with striking simplicity, was -undoubledly the most unique and also one of the most successful musical events of the day. i The Manhes recital waS unique for a ' number of reasons. In the first instance the, underlying motives that actuated Mr, and Mrs, Mannes to play before an audience in Harlem were far different * from the motives of those who appeared in the’ other recitals. Mr. and Mrs. Mannes made sweet and inspiring music to create a better“feeling of good fellow. ship. The basic consideration of their "fellow musicians was pecuniary again. There is not a better known pair in New York musical circles than Mr. and Mrs, David Manes, who rank high as musicians, When they usually. give re citals for the general public the price of admission is from $1.50 to $2. And yet with love in their hearts for-their fellow men” of all races, and with a desire to make people think better of one an. other, these eminent artists appear be fore tie enusicclovers. of Harlem without charging a cent, happy in the thought: that they ‘were, rendering ‘a service to mankind. The audience that greeted Mr. and ‘Mrs, Mannes was large and appreciative and the warmth and spontineity of the “evidences--of-~appreciition made the couple feel amply repaid for their efforts. Mr. Mannes at the close of the program thanked the audience for its unmistak- able stamp of approval and spoke briefly the great influence of music, which he characterized as the greatest solace one can Gnd, ‘The program offered by Mr. and Mrs Mannes consisted of numbers by com= posers of renown, and it was made clear at Sunday's recital that Harlem appre- ciates Beethoven, Schubert and Gries. provided these compositions are played by musicians of unquestioned abihty, Nothing could be. said in these columns that would add to the prestige of Mr. Mannes as a violist or Mrs. Mannes as a pianist: ‘The -high. standing they enjoy as artists in the musical world is =well known, but L cannot refrain from commenting on their wonderful team- work, for the unanimity they display in the rendition of their numbers is bound #6 excite the admiration of all. * Although the Music School Settlement for Colored People was established four or five years ago, the public in general seems to look upon it as a conservatory of music only, The teaching of vocal and instrumental music is but one of its many important functions, its aim Weing to improve the civic conditions of the community, Be This institutions is a-babe of Mr “Mannes’ brain, and it was due largely to his efforts that the music, schoo settlement was organized. At its heac for several years has been Elbridge L Adams, a prominent lawyer and philan thropist, who has devoted no little tim: and energy to raising money for th institution, The officers and board o directors are persons of high standin in both races, ‘being: Elbridge Adams, pfesident; Dr. W. E. B, DuBois vice-president; David Mannes, vice president; Mrs. Francis Barlow, vice president; R. G. Hutchins, treasurer Miss Elizabeth Walton, secretary; Hor Charles, W. Anderson, Miss Natali Curtis, Mrs, Wm, Curtis Demorest, th Rey, ‘Charles W: Douglas, the Rea Hutchens C. Bishop, Mrs. M. B. Greg ory, the Rev. Wm, P. Hayes, J. Rosa mond Johnson, Mrs. David Manne: Mrs. A. V. S. Olcott, the Rev, A. Clay ton Powell; Rudolph E, Schirmer, Les ter A. Walton ami Allen Wardwell, + The female members of the board ar decply interested in the success of th Music, School Settlement for Colore People, and although kept busy with so cial and, other duties, find time to visi the school, solicit donations’ and tetten meetings of the board: Two of the mos active directors are Mrs, Francis ( Barlow and Mrs. Wm. Curtis Deinorest at whose respective homes the members of the board sometimes meet. . . J. Rosamond, Johnson, who gained fame-as a musician and composer, is musical supervisor of the. Music School Setilement for Colored People, and Mrl. Emma Greene, whose executive! ability is well known to many in Manhattan, is registrar and matron. The school has made great strides during their regime. A feature, introduced some months ago by Mr. Johnson, which has become quite popylar, is the niusic-lecture re- cital given every Sunday afternoon. During the winter musicians and speak- ers of big repute have appeared at these recitals, among whom might be men- tioned Percy Granger, David Bispham, Kittie Cheatham, Mme. E, Azalia Hack- ley, who’ delighted with their singing, and Major R. R. Moton and Dr. W. E B. DuBois, who were most entertaining and instructive as lecturers, “The large audience at the Manes re- cital attested the popularity of this fea- ture, which bids fair to become more and more popular. The unusual privi- lege of hearing our leading musician: and speakers for ten cents is apt to be most alluring’ to those desiring high- class gntertaifiment The good work being done by the in. stitution, has greatly encouraged the directors, who are ambitious to make i ‘one of the most influential civic center: in New York. .

Coming from school one afternoon’ my attention was attracted to the melodious and harmonious singing of a quartet of colored banjo players standing in a two-seated carriage at one, ‘of the principal street corners of Co- Jumbus. They were singing for what is ‘commonly known as a “medicine doctor” who, in those days, was of the long- haired, wild Western type, wearing a large-brimmed black or white cowboy hat. After Mr. Hampton had finished his work he often walked about the town, and, remembering him, 1 became -ac- quainted with him, as’ 1 admired his gentlemanly conduct, and he and I from that time, were the best of friends up to his death. T saw nothing further of Mr. Hamp- ton after he left Columbus with this doctor until in 1896, when T started out as an actor with the Al G. Fields "Dark- est. America” company. Mr. Hamptor was then working with a partner under the name of Hampton and Johnson and doing a musical act. They Yraveled with this company for two seasons. He and Johnson then went with Mahara’s Min- Strels, doing their same act. T saw noth- ing more of Hampton until in 1898 when T met the team, with Isham’s Octoroons. I left this company and saw nothing further of Pete Hampton until 1898, in the fall of the year, when, after leaving the Octoroon company he and Johnson remained about New York doing a vaudeville act. In 1901" met Hampton again, who was with Williams & Walker “Sons of Ham” company. Hampton was one of the representative characters in this company in an old man (‘'rube") number singing a “rube” song entitled "Hello, Ham, Hoy Bout You?" with a dozen old “rubes" doing a cane dance. I left this company in’ 1903, leaving Hampton with it, Ife continued, with this company in “in Dahomey.” going to Europe with them, whert he left the company with withers, including Fred Donvlass. traveling threwchout all Europe im vaudeville, plaving tw Euro- pean ro,alty and crowned heads euch a8 the late Kine Fdward VII, Raiser Wil helm of Germany, Urancis.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE COLORED Y. M. C. A (Continued from page 10) As the National Board to have special interest on city work. The student work has been included organizations in one hundred schools covering a territory of six States west of the Mississippi and twelve States east of the Mississippi and the District of Columbia. Fifty-three of the student Associations are affiliated with the national organization, but all come under the supervision of the National Board. Weekend conferences for the purpose of straightening unity of thought and action through discussions of technical work and Bible study have been held in Claflin University and Talladega College in 1909; Tougaloo University and Fish University in 1910; Bishop College in 1911; Atlanta University and National Religious Training School in 1912; Prairie View State School in 1913; and Jackson and Campbell Colleges in 1914. Efforts during 1915 were directed toward a ten days' summer conference to be held during this coming summer. City Work The number of city Associations already organized is seventeen. Of these, six are regularly affiliated with the national organization. Two cities have provisional organizations, and there are three clubs' which are a part of a central Association—Yonkers, Rochester, Kalamazoo. Building campaigns were held in 1913 in New York City for $100,000, Philadelphia, $50,000, and Baltimore, $10,000. These Associations are planning to erect their new buildings within the coming year. In November, 1914, St. Louis, Mo., raised $20,000 for a new building which was dedicated November 21, 1915 There has been a steady increase in the number of colored young women who attend the summer course at the National Training School, which is conducted by the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Associations for the training of Association secretaries. Sixteen women have taken training for city work. This preparation for gaining a definite knowledge of method and principles bespeaks for growing efficiency. Confidence in growing employed and esteemed workers resulting in a growing solidarity of the work were held in New York City in 1912, Baltimore 1913, Philadelphia 1914, Norfolk 1914, and Brooklyn 1915. Miss Eva D. Bowles who is the national secretary for colored work in cities, and who has constructive plans for placing the beginnings upon a firmer foundation for the future, says: "Basing our estimate upon the past and the present status of the work, we see in the future through this organization one of the greatest factors in the development of ideal womanhood among all women. It is the working together of women which will ultimately bring about mutual understandings and symbiosis, and is taught by the spirit of Jesus which constantly grows more real in our lives that we may attain heights which now we see only in our visions but which can be made real and tangible." Misa Bowles' Work. Miss Rowley is a rare example of fine all round Christian womanhood, whose great life interest lies in opening up to young colored women every possible opportunity for self-expression, for a new appreciation of the real values of life.

Miss Josephine V. Pinyon, a graduate of Cornell, and another excellent type of young womanhood, is working in the schools and colleges among colored girls to bring to them the same opportunities and ideas that Miss Bowles is opening up to girls in cities. Miss Pinyon, though young in this work, has already shown marked ability in her helpfulness to and influence with student girls. Miss Bowles has been connected with the work of the W. Y. C. A. for seven years, the last four years consecutively. She is the first colored woman in the United States to hold position of a general secretary of a Young Women's Christian Association, and is at present secretary for colored work in cities of the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Associations. She is at present visiting colored branches of the association in Ohio. Educated in the public schools of Columbus, Ohio, and at Bliss Business College, same city, Miss Bowles taught at Lexington, Ky., Lawrenceville, Va., and at Raleigh and Beaufort, N. C. She has been a district visitor for the Associated Charities of Columbus, Ohio, and a volunteer worker for the Charity Organization Society. New York Forsyth secretary of the cooperative bank, W V Cooper, had splendid training for the national work, into which she finally went in 1913. Miss Bowles' grandfather was chaplan of the 55th Massachusetts regiment, and she is personally acquainted with almost all leaders of the race. NEWARK N I Newark, N. J.—The Essex County Colored Republican Association meet in their headquarters, 237 Halsey street, Monday p. m., Chairman Alfred C Gibson, presided. The reports from the organizer, Mr. Scott, and the Ward Chairman were encouraging and showed the numerical and financial strength of the Association to be on the increase. The keynote of each speech was the advancement of the political fortunes of the race, not individually, but collectively. That no longer should one people look for a plum on election day, but the candidate who shall hope to secure Negro endorsement must guarantee a position and is prepared to fill it, and makes the percentage in the civil service commission that color shall be no bar to his appointment. This is a determined stand and will doubtless bring hundreds of new men to the Association.

Elder, of Atlantic City, intend making a strong effort to toil to him at the State primary election over all other Republican voters to make certain of the appearance of the State position in Newark, together with without raising a sketch to the statement of his public life, his business it, and his Legislative record, and the petition on which he intends making his comparison. Mr Elder has done much in his home county and State for Negro people, and in his present platform he guarantees it elected to give the State a business administration he announces very clearly his conception of the duties he will have to perform as the chief executive of the State. Namely he should be the business manager of the State, that the Governor must be in daily touch with the work of his office. He should familiarize himself with the Department work through their respective heads, and Legislative committees and commissions and thus be able to perform the functions of his office for the good of all the citizens alike. While, as yet there has not been any formal endorsement of his candidacy by Negro Republican organization, there is no doubt that in time this will be done for already there is much individual enthusiasm which when the proper time comes hotly endorsments will be forthcoming.
