VOL. XXIX No. 26 BUSINESS IN 135TH STREET 117 Places of Business Conduct ed in the Two Blocks from 5th to 7th Avenues. POPULATION IS ALL COLORED But Forty-four Per Cent of the Business Is Conducted by White Men, Giving Employment to Only Thirteen Negroes. 65 PLACES RUN BY NEGROES Colored Business Men Give Employment to 233 Members of the Race, But Receive Only Twenty to Twenty-Five Per Cent of the Trade from the District-Five White Business Men stay in this District. In the two blocks of 135th street, from Fifth to Seventh avenues, there are 117 places of business, and in these places 365 people are employed. The population is entirely colored, the only white people residing in the district being one French and four Jew families who are conducting businesses. Sixty-five of these business places are conducted by Negroes and fifty-two are run by men of other races. The Negro proprietors employ 190 colored men, forty-three colored women, and three white men. The white proprietors employ ninety-seven white men, nineteen white women, ten colored men and three colored women. One colored man is employed by a tailor as a presser, another is employed in a real estate office as a helper, one each is employed as a porter in a loon, a tailor shop, a grocery shop, a furniture store, a drug store, and three wine shops have colored porters. Three colored women are employed as laudresses in two laundries. The three white men employed by colored business men are in a real estate office, a tailor shop and a drug store. Solid Negro Neighborhood. Practically all of the business in this district comes from the Negro residents. Any other business is transient—that is, from persons of other races who happen to be passing through the district. The Negro merchant has shown his desire for this trade by opening up business places, and he gives, in practically every instance, the same service and value as is given by the merchant of any other race. His progressiveness is shown in the variety of business established, as well as in the fact that he is conducting a larger number of business places than is being conducted by other races, i.e. live as against fifty-five percent. Notwithstanding this, careful and painstaking investigation shows that the Negro merchant is receiving but a small proportion of the trade. The highest estimate places that proportion at about three percent, while many place it as low as fifteen percent. Noting carefully business conditions, in addition to considering the actual figures given; it is a sale and conservative statement when the proportion is given as about twenty to twenty-five per cent. The only business receiving the full proportion of trade is the barber business, and of course, is explained by the fact that in of other races do not conduct business. other business in which the colored man enjoys predominance in real estate business" or properly for the renting agency Five Negro are engaged in this business as one conducted by a member of race. This has been brought by the demand for apartments, to coloured families. Some of the black agencies still selling real estate transactions in many of these cases the include members of other races.

State Comments on Poe's Land Proposition. STRONG REPLY FROM WATSON Why Whites Leave Farms—Important Part Played by Development of Railroad Interests—Labor Union Influence and Schools and Colleges Principles of the Southern Sociological College Commended. Special to The New York Am. COLUMBIA, S. C.—In a lengthy letter, published in the State of this city, the Rev. P. P. Watson questions the operation of a bill proposed by Mr. Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, the purpose of which was to restrict ownership of farm lands by Negroes in order to keep the whites in rural communities. Among other things, he says: The Rush for the Milla. I contend that segregation is not the remedy to keep the white people in the rural community. Ten or twenty years after the war thousands of white men and women who were on their farms as owners and renters were persuaded to leave their farms for the cotton mills of the South. The doctrine was preached that the Negro was not hitted for continuous work at the mills. Hence the rush for the mills on the part of the whites and the lands were left vacant. The Negro and the mule were thought best for the farms of the South. This sentiment was considered crystallized to the extent of their own making, a sentiment of their own making. The South at once became a successful competitor in the manufacturing of cotton. Hence the New England men, in order to meet the competition, enlisted the co-operation of Southern capitalists and in many places removed their plants and invested their capital in the midst of the cotton fields of the South. Another influence contributing largely to the whites leaving the farm: The rapid development of the railroad interests of the South has led to the establishment and development of a thousand new farms to which thousands of farmers have moved their families for business, political and other purposes. The Negro was not in it. With the continued development of the cities and towns, the drain upon the country districts continued. Negroes Had Monopoly of Trade. For a goodly number of years after the war the Negroes had the monopoly of the various trades. It is not so to-day. The white men are supplanting the Negroes, and most of them are from the farming sections. The labor unions are opening the doors to the white man and closing them in the face of the Negroes. Note the buildings that are being erected in Columbia, Raleigh and throughout the country, for the change of complexion, as to the carpenters, masons, painters and even laborers. The farmers' boys from the country are given the preference. The Negroes get only what their superior class demands and do not want the whites do not want. The Negro washerwomen are being supplanted by steam laundries operated by the whites, and while many helpers are employed in the game they are being quantity displaced by the whites who work in robbing the whites. White chauffeurs, backmen, barbers, shoe shimmers and even street cleaners are forcing the Negro out of service that was once regarded as moral. The schools and colleges have played a country role in robbing the country of its young men and women in the interest of city life. The training received has been antagonistic to rural life. The girls and boys were educated out of sympathy with the country. They do not produce productive power of the farms. After their graduation 80 or 90 per cent, made for the cities in ha-mony with the education they had received. Farm terms and phrases were eliminated from their course. The farms were the places for the Negro and those of the white with Jess education. Instead of the Negro taking an unfaithful advantage of the white man, the millions of dollars spent for the education of our white friends in the farm life should in part be responsible for their turning away from the farms. Segregation Without Legislation. Segregation Without Legislation. I have lived in three counties in South Carolina and I have traveled as far as Canada and I have never known of a white man in South Carolina on account of Negro neighbors. In most cases they bought property rather than sold. *MnProGeoGidyhoeosaainhrdlemiwty* segregation is going on regardless of legislation. Columbia is an example. Negroes have owned property in the most prominent parts of the city, but economic conditions are great when the whites are now possession without any recourse to legislation for segregation. Shindon, Colonial Highlands and College Place are demonstrations of Negro elimination Wilson, Durham and Raleigh that I have visited in North Carolina have segregation going on quietly but effectively without legislation. In North Carolina the state is stillly circumcised Lam at a loss to know what *My* Pod further to gain by his segregation propaganda. After all, we have reasons to bless God and take courage. The legislature of North Carolina at its last session refused to adopt the proposed measure United THEY Stand! Divided THEY Fall! United THEY Stand! COLORED BOY REFUSED TO SALUTE THE FLAG Ahead in Lug Air Arm. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. COLUMBUS, O.—The Ohio State Journal, of this city, one of the oldest and most influential daily newspapers in this country, has been a little colored boy at Des Mones, Iowa, for refusing to salute the American flag, had the following to say, editorially, anent the case. "A mulatto student at a Des Moines school, 11 years old, was arrested and taken before the juvenile court for refusing to salute the flag. He said he would salute no more, but he perfectly abused to punish a person for an act of that kind. Saluting the flag is a sincerce act, if it has any merit, and to compel one to do it tends to make one hate the flag. We had supposed the story of William Tell had so far imbued public opinion that forced patriotism was out of the question. That mulatto boy's case was much like William Tell. It would have been best to ask that mulatto boy why he did not love the flag enough to salute it, and if he did not love the flag enough to make the flag the object of his sincere love. What a miserable education is that which makes a boy salute the flag when he has no heart in it! Maybe the colored boy had a good reason. Maybe the flag was not the same to him as it was the same to him as ever the reason, one loses his patriotism if he is forced to be patriotic." SEGREGATION ISSUE HELD UP IN BALTIMORE January to June, New York, Ace Special New York Age. BALANCE Md. New York, here we are awaiting with interest the decision of the United States Supreme Court regarding the validity of the segregation law for Louisville. The Maryland Court of Appeals sidestepped the question of the validity of Baltimore's law a few days ago, when it said it would wait for the decision in the Louisville ordinance. The court also pointed out a number of imperfections in the present law, thus indicating that the ordinance did conform to the tought of a segregation law it would approve, when it rendered its decision knocking out the previous law. The decision which the court just sidestepped was in the case of Joseph Jackson, colored, charged with moving into a corner house, one side of which fronts on a "white" block, and the other on a "colored" one. The Court of Appeals is said to be divided on the validity of the Baltimore law and its attitude is regarded as merely a plan to keep segregation in force here until the Federal Court finally determines the question. The issue is one that is of far-reaching importance to the race, as such ordinances attacks their property rights, as well as those of abode. of Mr. Poe in regard to land segregation The University commission, embracing eleven Southern colleges, enriched in a work that God approves and promotes much for peace, and harmony in the world, by the dynamic forces, moral and intellectual, for the studying of the race questions and the solving of the problems on principles of righteousness.

Winston, Mrs. Maude Hall, Mrs. A. S. Reil, Mrs. James S. Anderson, Dr. Gertrude Curtis, Mrs. Media Dodson and Mrs. Maybelle McAdoo. LEWIS MAKES STRONG SPEECH MARKS When Connexion, Sawford H. Smith called the assemblage to order Sunday afternoon at St. Mark's M. E. Church, West 53d street, the Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor, on the occasion of the thirty-third anniversary and reunion of St. Mark's Lyeum, there was not even standing room available. The attraction for the afternoon was the address by Hon. Wm. H. Lewis of Boston, former assistant attorney general of the United States, who spoke on "Race and Democracy in America." In introducing Mr. Lewis, Chairman Smith said that the progress of the race during the last fifty years was definitely shown with a Booker T. Washington in the school, a Wm. H. Brooks in the pulpit, a Daniel H. Williams in surgery, and a William H. Lewis at the bar. Mr. Lewis struck a keynote by advising colored men not to be backward in taking advantage of opportunities to prepare, thinking there would be no chance for development. He declared himself in favor of using the word "Colored in referring to the race in reference to the Negroes." Lewis emphasized the fact that the race asks for no special favors from the white man, but only wants a "fair field and no favor." He thinks that the growing cosmopolitanism of the United States will be of advantage to the colored man. The speaker said that "When we enter the gates of life we are equal to the white man, and when we reach the gates of death we shall still be his cousin." Under the management of J Edward Harrison, president, and J. Lawrence Trechan, musical director, an elaborate musical program was rendered. Numbers were rendered by the St. Mark's Music Department, E. E. Doyle Miss Martina Breese, Mrs. L. De Cauldwell Mme Marie Woodley, the Freeman Male Chorus, Mme. Claudia Freeman, Wabur Martin and Choral Society, and Mr. and Mrs. H. Prampin'i NEW CITY COUNCIL MAN Special to THE NEW YORK ACE CAMBRIDGE, MD., M. H. M.

WASHINGTON Special to The New York Age. COLUMBIA, S. C. "While the friends and admirers of Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington all over the country are putting forth efforts to build a monument to his memory by raising an endowment fund, Columbia is also building a monument in honor of the great leader and educator. This city is the largest graded school for Negro children of any city in the State, the Howard Granted School There was an enrollment this year of some 1,500 children, with about 24 teachers, but the Board of Trustees long since saw that there was no sufficient accommodations for the vast number of Negro children of school age. The same conditions were found to exist among the whites, and to remedy these evil bonds were voted for the improvement of the school system of Columbia. But this could not be done without the Negro vote. Hence a committee of colored citizens waited to the Board of Trustees and told them that they would support the measure if they would agree to give the colored people another graded school. The proposition was accepted, the bonds were voted, and as a result two fine school buildings are going up, one for the whites at a cost of $100,000, and one for the colored at a cost of $40,000. Both buildings are of brick with stone trimmings. But here is the thing which we want the world to know: This Board of Trustees, composed of Southern white men, have seen fit to name this new Negro school "Booker T. Washington Graded School." This beautiful building is being erected on Wheat street in Columbia, and will be ready for occupancy next fall. Much of the credit for this new school for Negroes is due to Superintendent of City Schools E. S. Dreher, who threw the weight of his influence to the support of this enterprise. But too much praise cannot be given the whole board for the name, "Booker 1. Washington Graded School," engraved upon granite plates, that span the main entrance. The corner stone was laid March 13, with Prof. N. J. Frederick, the principal of the Howard Graded School, master of ceremonies. President R. S. Wilkinson of the State College at Orangeburg was the principal speaker. Here is one sentence from his able address "Booker Washington's life has been a remarkable contribution to the civilization of the American people, and will be an inspiration to every Negro youth in South Carolina for all time to cone" short addresses were delivered by W. T. Aycock, Dr. J. J. Durham and Dr. W. W. Beckett. On Irudar night, March 17, there was a dinner at the chapel of Benedict College, which drew a large crowd. The subject was "Resolved, That Booker T. Washington's policy is a better means for the solution of the race problem than the policy of W. F. Du Bois." S. C. Scott and S. S. Youngblood supported the affirmative, and E. S. Logan and E. W. Rhoades the negative. E. C. Robinson presided. Bishop Chappelle, Prof. George W. Peguese and Professor Dix, as judges, decided in favor of the affirmative.

Washington Day to be Observed in Every Sunday School in Greater New York on 3rd Sunday in April-All Churches to Observe Booker T. Washington Day on 4th Sunday in April. All preliminary work in launching the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund campaign in Greater New York has been completed, and the campaign is now on in earnest. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, chairman of the General Committee, and Dr. W. H. Brooks, chairman of the Executive Committee, are working hand in hand to bring about favorable results. They are enthusiastic as to the outcome, predicting that the colored citizens of Greater New York will surprise themselves if the proper co-operation is given. Two offices were opened in New York City this week by the local committee—one at 45 E. 42nd street, Room 11, and the other in Harlem at 2305 Seventh avenue. Several civic centers in Greater New York will be used as stations where subscriptions will be received. The Lincoln Settlement, located in the Columbus Hill section, has been the first of these institutions to be selected. Boeker T. Washington. Day. A fellow posed in collecting their On the third Sunday in April (Palm Sunday) Booker T. Washington Day will be observed by every colored Sunday school in Greater New York. This feature is being looked after by a committee headed by Mrs. M. C. Lawton, Mrs. Daisy C. Reed, Mrs. William F. Trotman, Mrs. Dora Cole Norman and Mrs. Rosalie McClendon. At a conference of ministers it was agreed to observe Booker T. Washington Day at all the local churches the fourth Sunday in May, on which occasion prominent men of the race, residents and non-residents, will speak. Dr. E. P. Roberts, treasurer of the local committee, gave out the following statement to a representative of The Age Wednesday: The colored citizens of New York and the country in general are on trial. Here is an instance in which all Negroes should bury their personal likes and dislikes for our own benefit to cooperate to raise the amount asked by the Trustees of the Tuskegee Industrial and Normal Institute. Of the $2,000,000 asked, the race is called upon to subscribe the $250,000. Already the white people have subscribed the $250,000 New York, the colored citizens have set to work to raise $10,000 of the $250,000. If our white friends succeed in collecting their desired amount and the colored people fail, criticism will be directed at them. I trust each colored citizen in Greater New York will do his part. If this is done success is assured. Lester A. Walton, executive secretary, directs subscribers to make all checks payable to the treasurer. HARTFORD CITIZENS HARTFORD, CONN.—More than 700 colored people attended the union meeting at the Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday, May 9, held for the purpose of launching movement to help raise the Memorial Fund to perpetuate the institution founded and Dr. Washington during his lifetime by the late Dr. Washington at Tuskegee Institute, Ala. In addition to the churches, all of the beneficial and fraternal organizations of Hartfort united in the meeting? Prof Frank P. Chisholm, teacher of mathematics at Tuskegee, and Capt. A. J. Neely, superintendent of grounds at the same school, were the principal speakers. The Rev. W. A. Harrod, pastor of the church, presided. The Rev. W. F. Coffey, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Hayden Station, Conn.; the Rev. Mr. Harris, of the Union Baptist Church, and the Rev. Richard R Ball, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church, assisted in the program. The large audience manifested deep interest in the movement and the sentiment that Hartford should raise not less than $500 for the memorial fund. In less than 15 minutes they contributed in cash and pledges $157 10. A committee was appointed to receive additional contributions for the memorial fund, with the Rev. Richard R. Ball, president; Mrs. A. R. Mitchell, vice-president; Walter Murray, treasurer; Peter C.

ONLY ONE BABY WAS SAVED Little 3-Year-Old was Able to Toddle to Door and So Was Snatched from Flames that Destroyed 1-Year Old Brother. LICENSED TO CARE FOR THREE Hendrick and Wife Had Been Licensed by Board of Health to Take Three Babies to Board, but They Had Taken Two Additional to be Cared for During the Day—Emphasizes Need of Day Nurseries. When the private baby nursery conducted by Mrs. Eva Hendricks and her husband, Philip, in their apartment on the ground floor of 47 East 133rd street, was destroyed by fire Tuesday morning about 9.30 o'clock, four of the five babies being cared for were burned to death, Charred lumps of flesh, absolutely unrecognizable, were all that remained when the flames had been extinguished. The Hendricks were licensed by the Board of Health to take three babies to board, and in addition they were caring for two more babies during the day, two mothers were with them. The two who were put there were not named. ERNESTINE MASON, 1 year old, 31 West 132d street. IONA WILKINSON, 13 months old; mother employed at 305 West 97th street. LOUIS CROSBY, 18 months old, address unknown; recommended to the Hendricks by Mrs. Douglass, 438 Lenox avenue. The two babies being cared for during the day were: KIRKLAND RHAMING, 1 year old, 50 East 132d street. DUDLEY RHAMING, 3 years old, brother to Kirkland. Durley was the only baby saved. Room a Mass of Flames. The origin of the fire is shrouded in mystery. The Hendricks declare that they were in the kitchen, but had been out of the room where the babies were for less than ten minutes. Returning to the front room, they found it a seething mass of flames. When Hendricks tried to enter the room, which fronts the street, he was driven back by the fire, but succeeded in snatching Dudley Rhamey to safety. A window from the hallway into the room was tried, but the flames were flashing out and that way of entrance had to be abandoned. Mrs. Hendricks, realizing the fate of the other children, became hysterical and begged for someone to attempt their rescue. Overcome by the strength of her emotions coupled with the smoke inhaled, Mrs. Hendricks collapsed in the hall and her husband had to pick her up and carry her unconscious body to safety in the outer air. In the meantime, other tenants in house had become alarmed, and were attempting to escape from the four-tory building, which had become a veritable furnace of flame. Besides the Hendricks there were five families occupying apartments in the building, and by the time they were aroused to a sense of the danger threatening, their escape by way of the stairs was cut off. They made their way to the roof and escaped by means of the fire escapes of the adjoining building. These families, who apartments were ruined and possessions destroyed by fire and water, were Mrs. M. Fisher, Mrs. Alice Edgeworth, Mrs. F. Gordon, J. Williams and Mr. Mrs. Snead. Hendricks had charge of the building as janitor. Delay In Giving Alarm. The delay in giving the alarm caused by the attempt to rescue the babies, gave the fire such headway that when the fire apparatus arrived it was impossible for the firemen to enter the house. A number of high-pressure streams of water were poured into the building, and it was more than a half hour after the firemen reached the scene before the burned bodies of the babies could be rescued. Each body, wrapped in a small white blaket, was placed in a baket. The mothers of the dead children were almost paralyzed with grief, and received the sympathy of all who witnessed the tragedy. Mrs. Hendricks was taken to the hospital for treatment, it is reported that her husband was buried health officials have confirmed. bounced babies, but was able to keep up after treatment by a physician. He is located for the present at 114 West 134th street. Mrs. Hendricks is the mother of four children by a former husband, a man named Carroll, and these children made their home with their mother and sister. Their names are Thomas Walter, Ruth and Florence Carroll. There of them were at school, and the other was at work, so none of them were home when the terrible catastrophe happened. Day Nurseries Needed. This house, just of babies emphasize the need it is suitably equipped day nurseries in a adequate accommodations. Ipr, the safe care of babies whose mothers are obliged to go out to work. The fact that four babies can be burned to death in a nursery licensed by the Board of Health indicates that there is need for more careful supervision of the conditions surrounding such places, especially where the nurseries are conducted in private homes. At present, the only day nursery suitably equipped for the comfort of babies and administered with a care that provides for their safety is the Hope Day Nursery, 33 West 13d street. This institution, supported by voluntary contributions, can only accommodate twenty-five children and does not meet the needs of this popular populated section. Many have expressed desire, since Sundays, tragedy, that where permits are granted by the Board of Health to private nurseries for the maintenance of infant care provision also should be made for constant attention upon babies admitted to such places. There are two types of custody rooms en licensed to the Court. Health to operate private care and to take babies to care. PHILADELPHIA, PA Philadelphia, Pa.

In order to give the young colored men and women who wish to devote themselves to social work the opportunity to fit themselves, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is providing two classes of fellowships. These fellowships are as follows: a—Fellowships of $35.00 per month for ten months, being necessary living expenses, and tuition of $100 at the New York School of Philanthropy. (This tuition is a loan made by the School upon recommendation. It is to be repaid when the student is subsequently engaged on salary by some organization. b—Fellowships of $150, being approximately necessary living expenses at Nashville, Tennessee at Fisk University. These fellowships are open to those who have definitely decided to make social service a life work. Such work includes secretaryships of betterment organizations, recreation and playground supervisors and superintendents of charitable institutions. A candidate to be eligible must (1) be a citizen of the United States. (2) by the first of September in the year in which he or she applies have passed his or her 21st birthday. (3) be able to present a doctor's certificate of sound health. (4) declare his or her intention to engage in some social work approved by the League. (5) have completed a course in a college of good standing or its equivalent. In providing these fellowships, the Urban League is offering an opportunity to young men and women of the proper sort to fit themselves for a life work of the highest usefulness and nobility. We hope that many will take advantage of the offer, for the field is large and the workers are few. We should like to see some of our young men and women in New York take advantage of this offer. SEGREGATION IN ST. LOUIS. The latest issue of The New Republic carries a strong article against the segregation ordinance recently passed in the city of St Louis. At this time, when wars and rumors of wars entirely monopolize public attention, even so infamous a thing as the St. Louis ordinance passes by almost unnoticed. However, we are glad to see so influential a magazine as The New Republic take away space from "The Wrongs of Belgians" and "The Rights of Mexicans" and devote it to a protest against the wrongs perpetrated upon a class of loyal American citizens by a brutal and conscienceless majority. We hope that The New Republic will continue to speak in our defense, and that other publications of power will follow example. VIEWS and REVIEWS A SQUARE DEAL WITH HAITL The Globe a few days ago carried an editorial headed "Practical Idealism" in which the following paragraph appeared: "The President is opposed to intervention in Mexico on both idealistic and practical grounds. Conquest is abhorrent to him. He is fundamentally opposed to government based on force. He really believes in the principle that all just government is based on the consent of the governed. He is possessed of the larger faith that trusts to the development of backward peoples from within, and denies that some nations are appointed to rule and others to obey." We asked the Globe how it made that paragraph square with the action of the Administration in Haiti; to which it replied that the action of the Administration in Haiti was taken with the consent of the Haitians; that it has the formal sanction of a treaty. We admire the Globe generally because it is a great newspaper. We like the Globe because in its stand on human rights it does not exclude the Negro, but always speaks in his behalf for justice and fair play; but our double admiration does not blind us to the fact that the answer to our question is not really an answer. It simply prompts another question, "If the Administration were inclined to exercise sufficient force, would it not be possible to secure the consent of the Mexicans to intervention in Mexico, and even the formal sanction of a treaty? We say again, we are not questioning whether it was right to intervene in Haiti or is wrong to intervene in Mexico; we only want to know why it is regarded as right in one case and wrong in the other. We know that political conditions in Haiti had reached a point beyond which they could not go; but whether the Haitians should have been left, as the Mexicans are being left, to work out their future salvation it is no longer profitable to discuss; American intervention in Haiti is already a fact. The great practical question with regard to Haiti is, "How shall American intervention in Haiti be carried out so as to result in the greatest good to the Haitians?" The answer is no doubt that the proper sort of co-operation on the part of the United States can be of great benefit to Haiti; but in order to bring about such a result, the American administration of affairs in the Black Republic must be in the hands only of men who can work in full sympathy with the Haitians and in complete understanding of their needs and aspirations. The sending of men will consciously or unconsciously lord it over the natives will be certain to any and every good that might come out of intervention. COMMENT HERE AND THERE.

And although we seldom find it, we are still hopefully watching for future Dunbars and Wheatleys.

This is a perfectly good prayer until it gets down to the threat. This threat is not only out of keeping with the spirit of the prayer itself, but it furnishes too great a temptation to the skeptical to put the whole thing to the test. The doubter is more than apt to let the ninth day pass and, if no calamity befalls him, to conclude that the power of communication for doing good is no greater than its power for doing harm. Those who are circulating this prayer would do well to leave off the threat. Another recent letter contained an editorial from The Public, which is a strong journal published in Chicago. On the margin of the clipping the following words were written in lead pencil: "If your paper had published so radical a statement you would be accused of preaching anarchy.

One may disregard a government's order to commit aggression on the rights of others, and be none the less a good and loyal citizen. S. D. The last sentence in this editorial is indeed a strong one. It raises the question of how far police powers may be invoked by an overbearing majority to interfere with the individual rights of a helpless minority.

As is frequent governmental injustice, it is due to with which no government—wrong to meddle. When a government rights of individuals it goes beyond may be legal. Governments must violate them. One may disrespect --- --- ity in a city prefer to go to church on Sunday, while a small minority prefer to stay at home all day and read the Sunday newspapers and go to see a moving picture show at night. So the preponderating majority get together and have a law passed prohibiting Sunday newspapers and Sunday moving picture shows. Now, the question is not as to whether it is more edifying to go to church on Sunday or to lie around the house and read the newspapers and then go to a moving picture show; but as to whether the majority have the right, in matters wholly of individual rights and preferences, to impose their will upon the minority. We do not believe they have. It might be bad to live in a community where nobody went to Church, but it would be worse to live in a community where the majority could without restraint exercise such a power. The St. Louis ordinance brings up this question in a far more vital form. We do not believe that any community has the right to decide where a person shall live—unless it is a question of living in or out of jail. And at the risk of being accused of preaching anarchy, we reiterate the last sentence of The Public's editorial: "One may disregard a government's order to commit aggression on the rights of others, and be none the less a good and loyal citizen." Another communication we received is too long for publication here; so we publish it elsewhere. It is from a correspondent who has sent various contributions to The Age. He is a man who thoroughly understands whatever he writes about, and the present letter is well worth reading. For very good reasons, we do not publish his name. In this letter he takes up the question of an increase of colored men in the military organization of the United States, if the new preparedness bill before Congress becomes a law. We agree with what he says. There are those who say that the American Negro should refuse to fight for this country because of the unjust treatment to which he is subjected. With this doctrine we absolutely disagree. Regardless of what may be said or done by few or by many, this country is our country. It belongs to us as much as it belongs to any other citizens within its borders, and a good deal more than it belongs to some of them. Under the Constitution of the United States we are American citizens, and we shall allow nothing which a loud and active opposition may do to force us to yield our claims to the rights of that citizenship or disregard our obligations to perform its duties. We claim every right that is covered by the American flag. We also claim the duty to fight for that flag, whenever to fight becomes necessary. We shall not allow prejudice which may be bitter, but which must pass away, to lead us into forfeiting our national rights or defaulting in our national duties. ART VS. PREIUDICE Aside from CARUSO, there is no singer in this country who can draw a larger and more enthusiastic audience than JOHN McCORMACK, the great Irish tenor. Not only are all of his concerts packed to standing room, but the phonograph records of his songs are sold by the thousands. On Sunday, Mr. McCormack gave his seventh recital of the season at Carnegie Hall. His program consisted of nineteen numbers. And now, the remarkable thing about his program: six of these nineteen songs were the product of Negro brain. Five of these songs were by H. T. Burleigh who has already taken his rank among the foremost American composers. The other song was by ENRIQUE GRANADOS, the eminent Spanish composer, but the lyric was the work of JAMES W. JOHNSON, of THE AGE staff. This incident should prove a matter of encouragement to the whole race, especially to those with artistic ambitions. It should mean a great deal to know that in the greatest city and the greatest concert hall in the country, a great singer renders a program which, out of nineteen numbers, contained six which were the work of Negro brain. It shows that in art, at least, there is little or no prejudice A NEW MAGAZINE. Just now it seems that new race magazines are springing up on every hand. Out of the latest to make its appearance is the Colored American Review, published in this city. The March issue, which has come to us, is extremely creditable especially in its clean and artistic make-up. We wish the Colored American Review success. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Negroes for Army Officers. Mr. J. W. Johnson, The New York Age. My On account of the impression produced on me by the editorials which you have been writing in The Age during the two years past I am taking the liberty to address a personal letter to you, which I understood there was published in The Age an article, of which I was the author, on the subject of colored reserves for the United States army. As then predicted the country is now in a fever of ex-mergers, and the United States defense. An increase of the forces seem assured and my reason for writing you is to urge, as I then urged, that a fight be made to the end that Negroes get something like their proportionate defense in any increase, whether of regular, militia, or Federal reserves, that may be organized. I believe I am sufficiently acquainted with the economic condition of our people in general to know that the question of the admission of Negroes into the army is not the most vital one that affects us at the present time, but I feel that discrimination against us here should not be ignored any more. It should be ignored the Federal office of Washington. Of many bills that has already been introduced in Congress for the increase of the army the one that seems likely to pass carries many features which it taken advantage of ought to prove a blessing to the Negro of a military bent. Any increase in the number of regiments of artillery and infantry should call for an increase in the number of regiments of colored infantry and the formation of colored artillery troops. Should the infantry be increased to 65 regiments as proposed, would the number of general regiments make a total of six. If the need artillery should be raised to 72 regiments we should have two. Out of the 223 companies of coast artillery proposed we should have 22. We should get a proportionate share in the engineer battalions also. At present there is no colored artillery or engineered artillery, but that proportion of these figures is our proportion as high as one in ten. Another feature which would offer golden opportunities to Negro boys is that authorizing the President to appoint a cadet to West Point from each regiment, to harden the proper training of the Southern gentlemen in Congress have their attention called to the far-reaching effects this might have. Should it be retained, however, it would be up to the Negro people to send a cadet to West Point. The most stable caste system which maintains in this country, which puts into the hands of the few the appointment of young men to those covered positions, is one of the most outrageous foils endured by the American people who hold democratic government, and it is a wonder to me that no paper of the day seems to have the courage or the forethought to take up. Twice I have been able to get the New York Independent to mention in the editorial column of Lafayette New York, had no effect, but since seeing the joke he has made of himself as Secretary of State, and otherwise, I am not surprised at his silence. These appointments should be made only after competitive examinations, and the military, morally and physically qualified to participate. The title provides for practically doubling the size of the militia and the placing of it under federal control and for the raising of a federal reserve of some 250,000 men, which my article deals in both of these there should be good chances for the Negro. Should the central government assume greater control of the militia it is barely possible that the studied attempts to keep the Negro in the different States from time to time would be tolerated, while in the reserve he ought to find his best chances. There seems to be in high places a feverish excitement over some impending crisis. If one is hanging, over our shoulders, we should not go placidly on continuing to staple Negro in the face and telling him he doesn't count in case of a war with some first-class power, which I am not statesman enough—nor do I know enough of world politics—to say, in threatening the country, would need to be very aggressive. Negro, and need them badly; and she would find it to her interest, if there is to be any great step in the direction of preparedness, to prepare them with the rest of her citizens. Nexroes are becoming more effective willing to serve in the regular time of peace under white officers, seeing that the proper kind of young Negro men will not enter the army to compete for commissions, I do not believe they would very freely serve in the army, and regiments in time of war unless assured of officers from among their own people. The studied policy of the War Department, as well as of the different States, to prevent the acquisition of military knowledge by the Negro has left him, aside from the comparative few who learned it in the regulars, a military officer. So that in little war in which the countryside he involved which should be a holiday affair as was the war with Spain, when would he Negro volunteers should demand Negro officers the War Department could very consistently ask 'Where are they to come from' Some years ago Congress passed a law which provided that no one should be trained in military officers, except in organizations of militia that volunteers in a body, unless he has been examined by a board of TUSKEGEE INST. SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS SEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION JUNE 12 TO JULY 21, 1916 OVER 400 PRESENT EACH SESSION DURING LAST THREE YEARS officers as to his fitness and recommended. Many white militia officers, many white non-comes in the regular, and a very few colored non-comes hold certificates of eligibility for commissions or for the relief of examinations, but I will venture to say that not one Negro in civil life holds such a certificate or has taken the examination. That examination, no one, unless he has had service in the regulars, militia, or volunteers, or has a military education, can pass. It requires a candidate to be a Department staff member should we ask for officers from 20,000 to 100,000 men. I hope you will pardon me for writing to you personally, also for taking up your time, but I believe this is a matter which should have the assistance of your facile pen. I hope you will also believe in my ability. During the nearly 23 years I have been in the army I have endeavored to keep in touch with all movements and topics affecting our people. The 25 Foremost Living Colored Men. To the Editor of The New York Age: In the interest of sociological research, inquiry was recently made for a list of the twenty-five foremost living colored men. Of course, the making of such a list would vary according to the bent of mind, diversity of interest, and the individual consulted. One of the parties consulted submitted the following list: In the amusement field-Bert Williams, the comedian, and Harry T. Burleigh, musician, Athletics-Howard P. Drey, John Lester Johnson, W. E. B. Dulbo, Kelly Miller, Clergy-Reva Hutchens C. Bishop, Francis J. Grimke, Charles T. Walker, Diplomacy-John S. Durham, Henry W. Furnish, Education-Russia Moton, Finance-J. C. Napier, Charles Banka, Journalism-Chris J. Perry, Ralph W. Tyler, Medicine-Dr. Daniel H. Williams, Law-William H. Lewis, Edward H. Morris, Painting-Braithwaite, Politics-Charles W. Anderson, Bishop Alexander Walters. It might be of interest to see how many of the same names would appear in the book. Up by individuals in different sections of the country. In the above selections no attention was given to localities, though as the writer was more familiar with the East and North those sections of the country. However, let some others try their pen and brains in choosing (twenty-five candidates for a contemporary hall of fame—only live ones to be included. The Significance of Segregation To the Edition of The Asi: To the Editor of The Age: Trose of our race who like to believe that democracy, idealism and justice, those of us who with pride look back upon the history of our race as one noble achievement of the idea of liberty and freedom, are deeply shocked, perturbed at the adoption of the segregation ordinance of St. Louis. Is there any adequate motive for segregation as has been alleged? Has the depreciation of real estate values in those localities where Negroes live been more rapid than elsewhere? The Real Estate Journal says that "the fashionable districts, the great boulevard, the which has been most considerable and rapid." This being true, then why is this measure made into law. There has been nothing developed to show any racial feeling dangerous to peace of mind in property values. No unifier breaches the peace due to racial differences has occurred, or even been alleged, as the cause of this ordinance, whose title proclaims this motive to be the reason for its existence. The Negroes of St. Louis are to secure admission to places of amusement; on the other hand, they live mostly apart from the white race as a matter of preference. Why should they not object to losing their freedom to acquire property and land? How can the most diligent dictate? Is this not an inherent right of every American citizen? No one will deny that segregation is undemocratic. It denies openly the legal and civil equality which the Federal Constitution guarantees. It denies the legal equality of Independence claimed for all men, whatever their previous condition of servitude or the color of their skin. It is repugnant to all of the tenets of freedom, Christianity and justice. It is repugnant to present Administration at Washington regarding the rights of Afro-Americans the real onus of this measure had itsception in the Capitol of the nation. Not the ordinance alone, but the state constitution, is questionably reveals, is discouraging in covers a depth, a strength of race prejudice, of bitter intolerance and base self-interest, such as we have hoped could never exist in this so-called land and face one of the brave. This same conclusion realizes rededic and reprisal was the real cause of the wirn raging in Europe. Sexregulation is a step backward; it erects a technical barrier between the white race and the colored race. It is the underlying principle rather than its principal function. The principle itself logically extends to the entire segregation of the black man from the white man, and would justify by the same arguments of expediency his relegation to a subject subordination. Shall this backward principle be maintained of the development of the Negro race? No; the race will rise and advance. It will ascend the ladder of progress despite the persecution of the combined races of the world. No carefully framed an uncompletely blind the public to the threat of segregation, this most undemocratic and unconstitutional measure. There is no question in my mind as to the reception the much-deplained Negro will receive should this nation enter war with some other nation; the world; the color line will be suspended; the line, the exigencies of the time calling people. Are we only useful as soldiers to be killed for our country, after which our rights as citizens are denied us? America had better watch her step. Rome of old, when she neglected us, was a swept to ruin. There is no denying that the centre cannot uphold the Monroe Doctrine without the hearty co-operation of Afro-American citizens.

To the Editor of The Arg: While I have always believed in colored men seeing to it that their women were respected by all. I have not been such a strong advocate as the Aga on the occasion of his incident which occurred few events ago at the Tartuffa located on the southeast corner of 136th street and Lemox avenue of which A. J. Doyle is proprietor. I have become a convert to the idea that the New Orleans police department was on the evening in question I was sitting in the back room of the Tart Club when two colored women and a male escort came in. Doyle was using very vile language and I resented his lack of respect for the women. I had to explain to them in two white women he would do as use such objectionable language My protest against indecenty did not seem to please the proprietor very much and he told me if I did not like the kind of language he was using to describe himself, I would not friends could also stay out. I informed him that the entire race to which I belong, was my friend when it came to white or colored men insulting colored women, and I hope the readers of the Age will make known to their friends he position Mr. Doyle takes on such a man. In Harlem there are plenty of places, many of which are conducted by colored men, where members of the race can go and spend their money for drink without being insulted. My adoration beafter keep out of the places in Harlem where the race is not respected. J. CLARENCE JACKSON 26 West 19th Street, New York PROVIDENCE R I PROVINCENCE, R. I—The dedication of the Mt.

He has since pursued a home in a rural community of course has changed his residence. The proprietor is always lated as an employee when he gives any part of his time to his business and in many instances the proprietor is the only employee he is assisted only by his wife. He is often white proprietor, except the once previously referred to, lives outside the district. Many of them take an active interest in the business, but have the work looked after by employees. The employer's part of the work is to draw his profits from the trade with him by the Negroes of the district which trade is handled by his employees. Landlords Have Discriminated. Wide much of the property in this district is handled by the colored real estate owners, and a large section of ownership is owned by a Negro organization, there have been instances in which the Negro merchant has been put out in the matter of securing advantageous leases. Some time ago a colored man, conducting one of the best and most prosperous restaurants, this district, was compelled to make use the lardlord—a white man he used to renew his lease, but forced him to make room for a fish stand coated by a white man. In a short while the fish stand gave place to a restaurant conducted by a white man, and this business is now catering to the Negro trade. There have been similar mistakes it is alleged, but the growth of the Negro in the real estate business has eliminated, so far as this district is concerned, some of this disadvantage. The Negro merchants in this district are progressive and enterprising, and are conducting their businesses under the livre handcap of not receiving the race's trade. With practically one hundred per cent of the trade coming from members of the race, the Negro merchant, with ample stock and facilities, is receiving only about twenty-five per cent of the business, and it is a liberal estimate to place the figures so high. The next article in this series will take up trade conditions on Seventh Avenue, west side, from 131st street to 132nd street. NEGROES WHO ATTENDED WEST POINT ACADEMY WEST POINT, D.C.-In response to an army forwarded by J. Henry Low 458 American Bank Building, the Adjutant General of the United States Army has given the following information concerning the Negroes who have been nominated to the West Point Military Academy at various times with data as to when they entered and when they left the Military Academy and the manner thereof. The information given shows that three men, Henry O. Hippe, of Georgia, in H. Alexander, of Ohio, and C. Young of Ohio, were the only ones to graduate, though twelve were in the years from 1870 to 1909, young is the only Negro West Point graduate now in the army, he attained the rank of major, commenced the second battalion of the 10th cavalry now on duty trying to capture Vienna, Mexico. The letter from the general to Mr. Lewis is as follows: The following sets forth the names of the men who have been admitted to the United States Military Academy at West Point, together with all data showing the year in which man was admitted and the year and year left the Academy.

I., wound up a pastor at the Church of Cambridge Mass., last Sunday, with a record-breaking crowd. Thirty minutes before service time, every A available inch of standing room was taken and the officials had to lock the church doors to keep out about 2,000 persons who stormed the church doors for hours in spite of the cold weather. Never before in the memory of the oldest inhabitant has this been necessary. The church which has no permanent pastor since the death of the late Rev. Jesse Harrelson is clamoring for the Rev. M. Martin Harten, his master. He has also been offered another good church. He has stirred Cambridge as no other evangelist, and after finishing one sermon, he preached another in the same service. IS THERE IIM CROWISM ATLANTA, GA.—According to an editorial printed in the Atlanta Post, of which Peyton A. Allen is editor, certain color discrimination is practiced in one of the departments of Spelman Seminary, said to be the largest school for Negro girls in the world. The facts complained of are stated as follows. Spelman Seminary has a hospital department established especially for Negro patients, presumably its own pupils and teachers. The strange thing about this Negro hospital, with Negro nurses, is that no Negro physician can be admitted to the patient if that patient chooses to go there while the operation is to be performed, but he may only sit by and see the operation performed by a white physician, who may be his inferior in the work to be done as well as the physician. It is said that any white physician who has a patient who becomes an inmate of Spelman Hospital may perform the operation, in no case may a black physician, however fit. Out of Atlanta's half hundred Negro physicians, one is permitted to operate in his patients if they go to Spelman Hospital. If Prof. John Hope must be operated upon and he desires the accommodations at Spelman Hospital, the institution will not permit this farm is phased out. He is a Negro physician. His family physician has graduated and had training in the best schools and hospitals of Europe as well as this country, but if he is a Negro he cannot work in this Negro institution. West I am such a patient I had rather whack my leg off with a jack-knife with my own hand than be subjected to such Jim Crow. Dr E R Carter and Prof John Hope will do well to put a ban on this kind of practice in the institution which they as well as the people of this community, have so long and locally fostered. We expect such treatment from the authorities of the Grads Hospital, because such is in keeping with South Africa, not expect such in those institutions which were established in a spirit contrary to these customs and traditions VOTE DOWN BILL FOR NEGRO, BISHQ PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—By a vote of 157 to 69 the Philadelphia Conference of the M. F. Church defeated the amendment to the organic law of the denomination, passing the way for the election of Negro bishops. The amendment, known as the "Bishops for Races and Languages proposal, has already been adopted by a number of white conferences, as well as all colored ones that have met so far this year. It is expected that the Washington Conference at its session in Richmond, Va, this week, and the Delaware Conference, which meets in this city next week, will vote for its ratification. The discussion at the Philadelphia Conference was a long and animated one. Dr. Drew the color line asked the Rev Dr. Frank F. Parkin in voting his opposition "Yes, we do draw the color line. We want no 'Jim Crow' bishops, a term that has frequently been used in such discussions as this in the last few years. "I am a friend of the colored man but we cannot deny or conceal that racial prejudice exists. We know that there is no possibility of a colored man's being elected a bishop by our General Conference nor of a colored bishop presiding over the deliberations of our own conference. I say, let's stop playing the hypocrite, let's stop playing double and tell our colored men that the color man can find a colored man big and broad enough to become the equal of a white man, then let's have a colored bishop, but not until then." He also said that the time must come when the colored churches must form an organization of their own. "We are satisfied with white supervision," said the Rev George H. Bickey and we assume that the colored people are also satisfied with it. But just as we have racial ambitions and pride, so has the colored man. I am in favor of waiting until a man of sufficient caliber to lead his race is found and then making him a leader of his own kind." The Revs, David Lord Cornelius, Hudson and Mr. Bickey were among those who favored the proposed amendment as a step toward church democracy.

Ministers from Maryland, the western part of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Virginia are in attalidence. Bishop Earl Cranston is presiding and the Rev. E. M. Mitchell is the entertaining pastor. Among the questions to come before the session are the election of delegates to the next General Conference of the denomination and the taking of a vote on the amendment providing for colored bishops. Among the prominent churchmen here are. Rev. Dr. J. W. C. Bowen, vice-president of Gammon Theological Seminary; Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas, field agent of the Board of Home Missions and Association; Rev. C. J. Jacobson of the Board of Christian Schools; Rev. W. L. Lucas, who spoke at the Epworth League rally I Tuesday night. Rev. D. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and I.

ASHEVILLE, N.C.—What ability coupled with determination will do is notably demonstrated in the case of Dr. Reuben H. Bryant, who came to Asheville direct from college in 1889. While he is yet a robust and handsome man, scarcely in his prime, he has built up the largest practice of any physician in the city. While this statement is thoroughly correct, it may further interest the public to learn that Dr. Bryant has achieved this wonderful success upon sheer merit and not through any unprofessional self-seeking. He is highly respected by the white as well as the colored people, and because he has been the heir will into consultation-by white doctors. Despite the fact that he has a long list of charity patients, he is without doubt the wealthiest physician in this section of the South. Dr Bryant's home is one of the show residences of Asheville. Fronting on beautiful Biltmore avenue and running back to Church street, the property is valued at twenty thousand dollars. His home library is extensive and consists of the choicest kind of literature. Dr. Bryant does not have his office at his private residence, but in an office building on Eagle street, of which he is the owner, where he has a separate medical library. Dr. Bryant has a very charming and talented wife and two beautiful daughters. Misses Rosamond and Shamray. The former is completing her studies at Talladega College, Alabama. Dr. Bryant is senior warden of St. Matthias Episcopal Church, and is a liberal contributor towards its numerous demands. The church is a magnificent structure, located on quite an elevation. Only recently Dr. Bryant presented to the church granite steps, which make the approach convenient as well as picturesque.

ACCORDING to information received Tuesday, a new theatrical species has come into being—the colored White Rat, which on paper first suggests a something which is colored and white at the same time However, it is reasonably sure that this new offshoot of the rodent family will be kept conscious of the fact that it is colored all the time. The news that a colored branch of the White Rats had been organized was broken to me by an acquaintance over the telephone. My informant, who seemed to be bubbling over with good humor and optimism, asked me what I thought of the move, and when I failed to rival him in his display of unbridled enthusiasm and told him I could not give an opinion offhand and would have to look more carefully into the matter, he frankly stated he had been made cognizant of my opposition to the colored vaudevillian joining the White Rats as the head of the organization had shown him only recently several articles written by me several years ago, which were on file. The activity of the White Rats to form a colored branch in New York has been marked since the first of the year. Colored performers have been sent for by prominent officials and several discussions have been held on the advisability of colored and white vaudevillians affiliating. While some of the colored vaudevillians looked upon the proposition with disfavor, others were inclined to give it serious consideration. That war clouds are gathering and there is to be a serious clash between the vaudevillian and the manager in the near future is obvious. Believing in "Preparedness," the White Rats are getting good and ready for the fray, wanting to be certain that when a general strike is called the managers will not be able to secure strong reinforcements and put the enemy on the run. As preservation is the first law of nature, this bit of strategy on the part of the White Rats is to be commended. But after the battle what is to become of the colored performer? Is his case to be analogous to that of the colored American, who is usually First in war, last in peace and last in the hearts of our countrymen? The famous Tenth Cavalry, which has no history for this country of which all Americans should be proud, was the first to start in search of Ville on the primitive expedition now being carried on by this country in Mexico. But being invited to play a prominent part in war times does not insure the colored American that he will be considered justly and properly treated after the war is over. So as the colored Vandevillan, too believes that preservation is the first law of nature, it is his duty to look out after his future and exact terms which will ameliorate his condition. The general impression seems to prevail among the White Rats that I am unalterably opposed to colored vaudevillans affiliating with their organization. This is not true. However, I have always been against the White Rats using the colored performer as a cat spaw and I have never looked with a friendly eye on the clauses in their constitution which were anti-Negro and in all brutal frankness, made it plain that Negroes were not wanted in the organization. That these objectionable features were in the constitution cannot be denied. I understand that the colored representatives of the theatrical profession who have been in conference lately with the officials of the White Rats have been assured that the constitution, so far as the Negro is concerned, has undergone a radical revision and no longer are unfriendly declarations made against the colored brother. If this is true then the members of the organization ought to be complimented on their change of heart. Unfortunately for many of the White Rats, they, like other white Americans, who are so completely eaten up with color prejudice, it is a hard matter for them to be made to see the error of their ways. And when someone does not hesitate to disagree with them on the color question and proceeds to discuss the rights of the colored performer from a different angle, the presumption on their part is that they have discovered a new enemy in camp. While the saying of to-day is that "Might is right," it should not be forgotten that no condition is permanent and the mighty never know when they will be in need of help. So instead of "kicking the colored vaudevillian's dog around" it would pay in the long run to deal with him fairly at all times and not use him only as a convenience. Although having disagreed with the White Rats on some things in which the colored performer was vitally concerned, I have always regarded the organization as a strong champion for the rights of the white vaudevillian. I believe in all labor unions which do not discriminate on account of color. The fact that hundreds of white acts under the jurisdiction of the White Rats were booked and courteously treated by me for nearly two years while manager and one of the lessees of the Lafayette Theatre is proof positive that I bear them no ill will. Just what the inducements were that prompted colored vaudevillians to form a branch of the White Rats have not yet been made public. My sincere wish is that it is a fifty-fifty arrangement—not seventy-thirty [or eighty-twenty] If the White Rats are going to see to it that the colored performer's condition is benefited, then the move is a good one; if colored turns do not profit by this new arrangement; it is like Mr. Peek's male youngster—very bad Being strictly neutral at this writing, I desire to wish all parties concerned success in the latest theatrical alliance, and I hope the White Rats will keep faith with the colored vaudevillian better than Mr. Albee of the United Office, who, in the fight between the managers and the White Rats to enlist the moral support of the colored performer a few years ago, made a number of alluring promises relative to giving colored nets work (I know, for I was present), but which were never kept PREPARE!

(BY WILL ANTHONY MADDEN) Send all matters direct to 269 West 4th street, New York City, and have same in our hands by Monday night of each week in order to assure its appearance in the current issue In the third meeting this season of the world champion "Incorporators" and the Imperials of Orange, the "Incorporators" were again returned victors, this time by the decisive score of 65-34. The Imperials played their usual hard game with game not beat in the New York boys. The regular "Incorporator" line-up started the game with the exception of Accoose, Hobey Johnson playing in his place. This was Johnson's second appearance on the courts and he played a fine game although he was still a little weak from his recent field. The old combination, Perkinson and Harding worked well together scoring many points. Cooper was the same old center and is without a peer in colored basketball. Brown played his usual hard game. Hargrove, Huggins Sisco and Turner all showed up well as the second line defense. The ilen Referee, Billy Limi, timer, Raymond B Wright, scorer, Percy Sears, times of halves, 20 minutes. Alpha Big Five was defeated in Pittsburgh, Pa. on Friday night, March 17. The team defeated Delaney Rifle combination. The score was 25-18 in favor of the Smoky City and shows that the combination must be working great together. This makes Alpha's first defeat on the road for the season and makes the second big important game that the A P C C has lost. It will all have considerable bearing on the championship. This Friday night Alpha will play an all-star college team picked from three of the white colleges—Columbia, New York University and C C N Y. The game should attract a certain amount of interest but will not effect the colored basketball title. April 6, the Spartans and Alpha "Big Five" are scheduled to clash. It will be an exciting game and no doubt will be rough and hard. I am herewith publishing a letter sent to me by Quentin Vaughan, man- ager of the Carlitos, but will refrain from commenting on it until the entire season is over and I have completed my summary. The Celtics play record in all teams last year or when they left it was 15 games on two last of the two best games was the playoff of our team with the Light Mets, which owing to the loss of Dusty Capers and Seth Wise was a win for Capers. We will be considered in summer up the high weight series. The other game was lost to St. Christopher's Tigers at the St. Christopher's gym. In this game played on our opponents own court we have played and played four years we were not only older a hand up one that none of the other New York teams will take along to this the fact that we had on the at home crippled team (Peyton and Scott both being absent) it can be readily seen that this game was hardly a true test of the Celtics' ability. On the other hand Carlton's victory over St. Christopher, was on a neutral hired court, and when St. Christopher bad every number of their famous Tigers' (Chirence Jenkins, Fred Lowery, Harold Jenkins Charles Green and John Capers) in the game, while St. Carlton was still missing from the Carlton's lineup, defeating St. Christopher the Carlton record includes victories over the following colored teams. Salem-Crescent, who defeated the Spartan "Hornets," the St Mark Srs, and the St Cypran "Speed Boys" of New York the Montclair Y M C A and the Keystone Five of Montclair and the Royal Incorporators Paterson. These games were all ill equipped against a neutral courts. All told opponents a record better than that of any team, and After all facts, records etc. are boiled down it leaves the St Christopher "Tigers" last year's champions, and the Carlton Y M C A. In the lead for the lightweight title. These two teams having broken even in two games played there will probably be some dispute as to which is the rightful possessor of said title, but despite the fact that there are several reasons why the Carlton's have the edge on St. Christopher this season, and therefore a better claim to the championship. 1 Carlton's victory over St Christopher being on a neutral court with both teams or at least St Christopher at full strength was more real than St Christopher victory. 2 Carlton leads defeating St Christopher defeating most of the other contenders for Lightweight honors. In conclusion will say that Carlton not all corners throughout the season and did not all that can be said as necessary to gain champions should determine primarily all the other ties. class teams in New York and vicinity, and then defeating the recognized champions. The St. Christopher "Tigers" risked their title but once, and then when they played the Carlitos at Saengerbund Hall, on February 25, on which occasion the Carlitos defeated them. This victory together with the Carlitos themselves give the Carlitos clear (as is possible under present conditions) title to the Lightweight Championship of the East. SPORTING NOTES Howe Losse Title and Drew Beaten. Howard P. Drew of Southern California was beaten by Joe Loomis of Chicago A. A. and Roy Morse of Salem Crestent A. C. in the sixty-yard dash that featured the senior national indoor championship meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union in the Twenty-second Regiment armory last Saturday, night Loomis placed first, Morse second, Drew third; Irving T. Howe, who formerly held the sixty-yard title, fourth. Sol Butler of Iowa was shut out of the sixteenth dash in the semi-final. There was great disappointment among the admirers of Drew when he was so easily beaten by Loomis. The colored rooters and their friends were astonished that the only white man who qualified for the finals out-ran the colored four. It was plainly evident that Drew was not in form. Roy Morse might have won had he watched Loomis instead of Drew. This defeat of Drew by Loomis will be hard to erase for some time, for with the victory goes an equalled world's record and the national title for sixty yards. The three previous defeats handed Loomis by Drew have been local affairs, while this meet was a national championship contest. Morehous Loses a Weird Game. In a long and uninteresting game, Morehous lost to Morris Brown in a one-sided contest in seconde 18. 7. Keepee pitched for Morehous. Wiley started for Morris Brown.

Club of Newark held its seventh annual reception at the residence of Walter B. Randolph, 104 Pennington street, Friday evening, March 17. Vocal and instrumental music were special features. Lawson Randolph rendered several selections in French. J P O'Fake had charge of the music. Miss Grace L. Randolph, a recent graduate of the New York City High School, was presented with a handsome gold bracelet by her grandmother, Mrs. C. D Randolph and her uncles, M. B. Randolph and L W Randolph. The guests numbered one hundred and four. Many of them were from New York City, Jersey City, Plainfield, N. J., Montclair, N. J., and other places. A splendid menu, consisting of chicken and potato salad and ice cream, cake, punch and bon-bonbs was served. The St James A. M. E. Church was slightly damaged by fire on St Patrick's Day. Insurance covers the loss. The Rev J. J. Adams, of Westold N. J. premises at the Presbyterian Street M. I. Zion Church, is survived. all day services to the Missionary Jersey a mutual concern. L.

Herman Bloedoorn informs Mrs. Herman Bloedoorn informs Somerville and E. Housley of New Neways readers of the Neways playing much interest in the mis- treatment of business conditions in New York men of the IEE staff. Certainly the article last week brought out the truth as to the lack of confidence in our race, each other. This is dem- scribed by the meager support even racial enterprises and the small per- centage of racial enterprises compared with those conducted by other races. And especially when the numerical strength of the race in a given district arceels that of the race doing the larger volume of business. Our volume of business borders on the ridiculous. Should a like investigation be made in this the metropolis of New Jersey it would be found that our city would show a condition worse than that existing in New York. Newark does not boast of any business enterprises of any magnitude, save a few saloons,舞 dalls—conducted for the most part by houses—and barber shops. It is a painful truth that within the entire city limits, and indeed hardly in Essex County, there is not a hall, auditorium or any building spaces, enough, owned and controlled by Negroes, where a convention or any social function or any kind of a meeting can be held. The truth is that for all such affairs we depend on the whites for a place, and not only must we exorbitant prices, but must cater to all their whims. It is not that we have not men and fraternal organizations controlling sufficient means to alter these conditions, but because in days gone some persons having only their own selfish purposes at heart have destroyed the confidence of the people by mismanagement and misappropriation of funds committed to their care for investment. It is hard to make our people believe and see that out of the ashes of one wrecked financial venture could grow a successful enterprise. When you talk stock incorporations embodying insurance, building and loans, mercantile, banks or any other business ventures, they invite you to remember the Metropolitan Realty Company and True Reformers and the thousands of dollars sunk in those institutions. Thus summings we prefer enriching the out- comes of the Jews Italians or any other race by renting their plots, balls and what not rather than cooperating to the end that we might become hoarders of our wood and drawers of our water. Mr. J on Baptist Church, th. R R Br on patter, w. crowded Thursday night, when the Usher's Union of that church, together with those of Bethesda Baptist Church, 13th Avenue Presbyterian Church and St James A. M. E. Church gave their undemnational concert. Long before the hour of opening every seat had been taken and when Oliver Woods, president of the Federated Unions, called the meeting to order standing room was at a premium. The unions, led by the boy's choir of Bethesda Baptist Church, B. B. Parris leading, entered singing and the congregation rose and joined in the song. Dr. H. K. Spearman, pastor of St James A. M. E. Church, offered the opening prayer, imploring the Diety that the spirit of unity might become the controlling force in the lives of the people assembled. Deacon Fossett of Mt. Zion welcomed the Union in the name of the pastor and the officials of the church. Thirteenth Avenue Presbyterian Church offered, as its part of the program, a piano solo by Miss Ruth Thomas, a vocal solo by Miss Ruth Hedger and a duet by the Misses Onques. Bethesda's renditions were a recitation by Mrs. R. Johnson, vocal solo by Mrs. Miles and several selections by their boys' choir. Mt. Zion's part consisted of a dialogue by their Usher's Union, music, solo by M. F. Puire. St. James was represented by a duet, Miss Grace Fisher and Esther Thomas; paper, Chas. F. McLanier, address by A. M. Wright, and a paper by Loyal Medley. All participants acquitted themselves well. The success of the affair was largely due to the untiring efforts of A. P. Bruce and Oliver Woods. About $100 was realized, which is to be divided between the five churches. At the close short addresses were made by the Rev. Mr. Melcher, Drs. Spearman and Eggleston. The keynote of all their talk was for unity in the churches, regardless of denominal lines. Sunday was a great day in 13th Avenue Church. Dr Eggleston preached and the music of the choir was especially uplifting The Sunday School and Alpha Literary Society was well attended. At 8 o'clock Dr. Eggleston preached the twentieth anniversary sermon to Passaic Lodge, G U O O F. F.

The Sunday school added seven new members to its several departments and Allen's Indoor League was well attended. At the evening services, Pastor Spearman began his lecture illustrated discourses on the Life of Christ, portraying His life from His nativity to His feeding the thousands with a few fishes and loaves. The vast audience was enraptured with the conceptions of the Christ in picture and deeply impressed by the scholarly lecture by Pastor Spearman. The illustrated song, "Jesus Saviour Pilot Me" was sung with great emotion. Two persons came forward and were received into the church. Next Sunday these discourses will be continued Fire of an unknown origin partially destroyed the lecture room of St. James last Friday. The loss will probably reach $1,000.
