TRUSTEES A R E OPTIMISTIC Theodore Roosevelt and Other New York Trustees of Tuskegee Institute Hope to See Colored New Yorkers Take Lead in Raising $250,000 Which Negroes are Asked to Subscribe—Executive Committee Meets Saturday. The New York trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute have expressed a desire that the colored people of Greater New York take the lead in raising the $250,000 which the race has been called upon to subscribe to the Two-Million Dollar Memorial Fund, and there is every indication that colored New Yorkers will live up to this expectation. The New York trustees of Tuskegee Institutg are Theodore Roosevelt, Seth Low, William G. Willcox, William J. Schieffelm, Frank Trumbull and George McAneny. Dr. E. P. Roberts, treasurer of the local committee, reports that subscriptions are coming in nicely, and predicts that the colored people of New York will raise $10,000 or more to the fund. The past week has made it apparent that the fraternal orders and various organizations are going to be strong factors in making the campaign a success, and a number of letters have been received by Lester A. Walton, executive secretary, in which the heads of organizations promise hearty co-operation. Colored Business Men to Contribute. At an enthusiastic meeting of the New York Colored Men's Business Association, held Monday evening at 162 West 152d street, it was voted to give a good-signed subscription to the fund and a certificate was appointed, made up of active Harlem business men, to collect the money. Although several of the members have already given individual subscriptions, the amount from the association will be given as a body, as has been the large subscription made by the Southern Beneficial League. The women of the various boroughs have formed an effective working organization and at a meeting of the Women's Committee, held last Friday at the residence of Mrs Albert K.

ODD FELLOWS IN CHAOTIC CONDITION Action by Fulton County Superior Court Is Deferred to Monday, April 3. POLICYHOLDERS ORGANIZE Ingram-Davis Faction Call Policyholders in State to Hold Meetings-May Form Independent Organization-Pharrow Making Strenuous Fight to Enforce Mandate of Sub-Committee of Management Special to THE NEW YORK ACR Special to THE NEW YORK ACK Atlanta, Ga.—I final action on the Odd Fellows' injunction case has been deferred to April 3. The case was called in the Lutton county superior court on March 1, but was not concluded. It is thought that the case will be ended at its next hearing. The case is the result of the action of the Sub-Committee of Management in suspending from the order for one year B S Ingram, district grand master, and B J Davis, district grand secretary, of the District Grand Lodge, No. 18, of Georgia, G U O O F, both officials being found guilty of conspiracy. Taking advantage of their position and influence in the Georgia organization Ingram and Davis, through a suit brought by Dr A D Jones, a supporter of their administration, had themselves named, with the other members of the executive committee, as temporary receivers of the assets and property of the order, the reality in this city being valued at about three quarters of a million dollars Opponents of the Irram-Davis administration, headed by Dr Daniels of Savannah and R I Tharrow of this city, are making a strenuous fight to enforce the mandate of the Sub-Committee of Management, which would mean the elimination of Irram and Davis from the affairs of the order for the next year. But the old administration is in possession of the books and property, and so far, aided by the Fulton county courts, they are handling the financial affairs, which means the really important part of the order's business. Want to Oust Ingram and Davis. A convention was recently held in Savannah, at which time a committee was chosen to be named to the Jackson county superior court as the choice of the order for permanent receivers of the assets and properties of the district grand lodge, and the court is to be asked to name these men in place of Ingram and Davis and the other members of first decision. The consideration of this request is in conjunction with the hearing by the court of the motion for appointment of permanent receivers. At present the indications are that the Ingram-Davis faction purpose getting around the action of the Sub-Committee by taking the members of the order who hold policies in the endowment bureau into a body acting under the charter granted by the State of Georgia. Many of the members, holding policies valued at $400 and $500, will probably go into this movement in the hope of preserving the value of their policies. Strength is given to this side of the question by the fact that the Sub-Committee is not concerned in any way with the endowment bureau, that being purely a local branch of the order and incorporated under the laws of Georgia. May Conflict with Insurance Laws. A possible hindrance of this step will be the insurance laws of the State. As a part of the Old Fellows organization the endowment bureau operated without any special tax, being a traternal secret order. But it appeared from the presence in Judge Bell's court on March 21 of Attorney General Walker, who was representing the Insurance Commissioner, that the case is being carefully followed by the authorities of the State, and its action is taken by the Ingram-Davis forces, it is probable that the law of Georgia covering insurance companies will have to be complied with. The Georgia insurance laws require that $10,000 in registered bonds be deposited with the State Treasurer for the protection of police holders. At the same time that the order was issued suspending Ingram and Davis the Sub Committee recalled the charter of District Grand Lodge, No 18, and directed the subordinate lodges of Governor to report their dues directly to Grand Secretary Needham at Philadelphia. This put the members of the order in a quandary, as this order related simply to membership dues, and not to endowment dues. In the meantime Mr. Ingram sounded from the county that a temporary order restraint in the Committee treatment was suspended upon him, the Luttrell clerk named Ingram and Davis as recorder, and the receivers notified the memorial holding endowment policies the premiums must be paid to R.J. Day secretars of the corporation, and that failure to report for two months would mean forfeiting of the policies. Conditions Are Chaotic. As a consequence, conditions in the State are not only definite and permanent at this time, but they present the large holdings of the other states and the will do it. It is that the present situation is costly, and the effects of the latter for a long time. The United States supporters throughout the State are holding what they call "Policeholders Meetings," the only qualification for H. H. MEXICANS THINK NEGRO TROOPERS ARE DEVILS Correspondents of the Metropolitan dailies who are accompanying the United States army in its invasion of Mexico and a great deal to write about concerning the Negro troopers of the 10th cavalry and the infantrymen of the 24th regiment A tribune staff correspondent at El Paso after describing the sensation created among the Mexican peons by the motor trucks and the big army biplanes said "And now a new puzzle has been presented to them in the Negro troopers. A Negro cavalry man returned to-day from Casas Grande on sick leave. He is still laughing over the puzzled manner in which the Mexicans regarded the 10th Cavalry. "For a while they just stood around gawking at us," he said. Then they began talking excitedly among themselves. Those are not Americans," said one; "they are deaths presently, trooper who could speak Spanish on up and said. We are Americans, and you should keep it in mind, too. The Mexicans merely shook their heads." This is not the first time members of the Teenth have been characterized as 'Devils.' In the Cuban campaign of 1965 at the battle of San Juan Hill, the members of this regiment saved the day for the United States army by taking the advance from Roosevelt's Rough Riders and leading the charge up the hill. The Spanish soldiers, whose terrific fire had halted the white troops, found that the Negro troopers continued to advance regardless of the halt of lead which deminated their ranks. When the line was near enough to the Spanish trenches for the Spaniards to discern the complexion of the advancing troops who were steadily coming up the hill, it is said that the hidalgos threw down their rifles and exclaimed, "Those are Devils, not men, following that exclamation with a general exodus from the trenches of the trenches. MAKES PRIVATE SPEECH ON THE KILKLUJK KLAN Associated Press dispatches from Washington, D.C., last week stated that the Attorney General of the United States, Thomas W. Gregory, would deliver an address before the Mississippi Society on Friday evening, March 24, having for his subject, The Ku K K Koon. Be aware that whatever the Attorney General of the United States might have to say concerning that intuitious organization of reconstitution that would interest his readers, the editor of The Age wrote Mr. Gregory, requesting an advance copy of the speech he intended deliver. It reposs, the Attorney General wrote, that he could not be with it, request as he had "not put the paper for general publication" in order to follow.

TEXAN SAYS VILLA WAS BORN IN BALTIMORE Special to THE NEW YORK ACE BALTIMORE, Md.—Various reports from time to time have declared that Villa, the leader of the Mexican revolutionary forces for whose capture the United States army has invaded Mexico, is an American Negro. The Act carried a report some months ago that he was a former member of the 10th U. S. Cavalry. It has been stated by the Rev. Wred Young, pastor of the Eastern M. I. Church, that he believed Villa to be a long lost brother. The Baltimore American, in its issue of March 25, carried the following story which was given to its correspondent at Carlisle, Pa., by George Bond, a native Texan, who declares that Villa is the son of a woman of Spanish and Mexican blood, who married Negro in Baltimore. The story. A new light is thrown on the personality of Francesco (Pancho) Villa by George Bond, a native Texan, passing through Carlisle. Bond is known throughout the Southwest among cattlemen as Buck Bond. He declares that he has known the Mexican revolutionary leader practically all of his life having worked for five years between 1903 and 1908 with Villa as a fellow-employee and intimate on a ranch a few miles outside of the city of Chihuahua, Mexico. His Father a Baltimore Negro. "Bond says that notwithstanding reports to the contrary, that he knows that Villa, who he says pronounces his name just as it is spelled, was born in Baltimore, Md. As a child Bond knew Villa's mother, who was of Mexican and Spanish blood, and who was married to a mulatto in Baltimore, from which city she took Francesco to the southwestern border when the latter was 12 years old. He heard her speak many times of bringing the bandit chief from Baltimore. Working in close contact with Villa later he often heard him refer to boyhood experiences associated with localities in and around Baltimore. Bond repudiates the thought that Villa is a bad man by nature, and says that although he was by no means intolerant during their acquaintance he showed a distinct capacity for handling men and children in quirky language and dialects and was a warts-treated alfred blood thinks the Unit I States government should know that Villa can raise in arm force of somewhere around 80,000 men if pushed to the limit. He believes and frankly states that Curranza's subordinates are responsible for most of the attacks against Americans of late in Mexico.

Fillmore, who has been a leadme spirit in the agitation for the formation of a Negro regiment in the New York National Guard, which regiment has been authorized by the General Assembly, it appears that the regiment will materialize but with whites as officers instead of Negroes. Gen. Statesbury declares that none of the current appropriations can be used for the organization until it is organized and esumped, and it is his judgment that until fully organized and its efficiency demonstrated the organization should be under white officers. Lee L. Pollard has given directions to proceed with the organization of the first company of the regiment, the adjutant general having indicated that the regiment may be organized by mustering in one company at a time. Major Fillmore, while declaring his willingness to co-operate with Mr Pollard in the new movement, declares that he is not entirely in accord with the proposition. He says he was willing to conceal field officers to the whites, but thought surely there would be Negro like officers. Gen. Statesbury declares that the lack of funds for the organizing and equipment of the regiment makes it necessary to provide other means and it is to this end that he indicated the proposed plan to Mr Pollard SAYS SALUTING THE Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Des Moines Iowa Carried before Judge Dudley in the Juvenile Court because he refused to white the flag at the Clarkson public school Hubert Eaves, the 11-year-old pupil told of in last weeks' Age made the following declaration "I won't salute the flag at school for I do not think it is right. It doesn't have God in it. In the second place I haven't any country. It all belongs to the white man. If it wasn't for God I would not be here. The white man does not want us." Mr. and Mrs. Olive Layes, 212 Third street parents of the boy were in court and she held Hubert in his custody. They declared that no judge, jury or school officer had a right to compel him to do what hurt is conscience. The principal of the school, Muse Artra Wertz, and his teacher, Miss Catherine testified that the boy's deportment was good outside of his refusal to salute the flag and to sine partitions. "Hubert has a way with pretence, our literature, critics, and paragrapes," Longellow's and Whitte's works when they refer to cool and Miles'ss.

DR. CHANNELL MAKES CHARGE Declares that Louisiana Delegations are Packed, and He has Been Told that Other States Have Done the Same—A. M. E. Ministers Can Change Wives at Every Crossroads, Says Preacher. Declaring that the Louisiana and North Louisiana Conferences are sending packed delegations to the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church which meets at Philadelphia in May, the Rev S. J Channell, D D, a presiding elder of the Louisiana Conference in a letter to The Age says that if the next general conference is to be composed of "packed delegations," as he had been told, then it "should meet in hell, as that would be the best place for such deceivers." He bases his charge on the fact that according to membership, the Louisiana conference would be entitled to five delegates, whereas eight have been elected. The North Louisiana entitled to three delegates, has elected five. Dr Channel bolsters up his charge by declaring that "some have told me that 'the most of the delegations are packed'." The presiding elder takes up also the matter of divorce among the ministry and declares that divorce is too prevalent among the monsters. "A preacher can change his wife at any crossroad and go on and be more thought of than in upright Christian commonman. Dr. Chancell says, and he declares that the bishops' message should take up the divorce question at the coming general conference. A plea is made for the purifying of the body of the church that the memory of the sainted Richard Allen may be kept free from tarnish. Highlanders in the Dr. Channell's letter is as follows: To the Editor of The New York Age To the Editor of The New York Age The ministry of any church should be an honest set of God fearing men, otherwise they are anything but good men. The Louisiana and North Louisiana conferences of the A M E Church both have packed delegations to the coming general conference. The North Louisiana conference has an enrollment of about seventy-five preachers including laymen who are members of the annual conference would make the total number about eighty-five at most. The Louisiana conference has an enrollment of 140, and the laymen, who are members of the annual conference, would make the roll about 152 or 154. We are allowed to elect for every thirty ministers one delegate. We see that the Louisiana conference has eight delegates, and according to the law she is overpacked by three, nearly four. The North Louisiana is overpacked by two, as she elected five delegates. There is no state election so dirty as to pack a delegation. Why should the christian church, or those are drained in the garden or those so slovenly with the home of Christ? How much further can the A M E Church go with such dishonesty? Is it not a disgrace beyond description. Ministers and Diverse The only general conference must look into this fraudulent action and deal with it accordingly. Some have told me that the most of the delegations are packed." If this is true the next general conference should meet in hull as that would be the host place for such deliverers. The A. M. E. Church would lift its if greatly to give the layman equal representation. It would back down all of the political not and the church would fare much better in this hold of decency. It is worse than president in the ranks of the ministry. A greater can change his wife at all times and go on and on to more the right of that in upright Christian gentleman. Will the bishops message save a little word about division to the coming general conference. A good head makes a sound sound when the head is rotten the foot and the head from the bishop down the foot must be sound, or be ill as a fallible. The A. M. E. Church will hold its centennial celebration at the grave of Richard Wain in the City of Brotherly Love May How about the pack-able head? Will the enough homesteads with up their heads to Bishop Wain with truth hold so that for one hundred years they have walked in their footsteps and kept the law of the law throughout the church will it be that we will make our deed Daddy ashamed to mourn his spirit with those who may attend the coming general conference. Who should an attorney be given oxygen, should he write an immortal proposition? Where does a lawyer be able to order such deeds? A lawyer to the M. F. Church is law and order at the word the law has to say is "I must be done." A order he devised Rights of death is the for the law of death. S. J.

FROM 131ST TO 137TH STS. Whites are Controlling 85 Per Cent of Business, But Form Only 30 Per Cent of Population in Contiguous Section. NEGRO BARRED -ON WEST SIDE Only Sixteen Places of Business Conducted by Members of the Race, and They are Restricted to the East Side of 7th Avenue—Landlords on the West Side Will Not Rent to Negro Tenants. The series of articles being published in THE AGE, showing the amount of the patronage of the colored residents of Harlem which is given to the colored merchants and business men, as compared with the patronage given the white merchants has aroused interest in all sections of the country. The AGE is in receipt of letters from various localities, in which the information is given that in these cities practically the same condition obtains as in New York. Articles published in issues of March 16 and 23, concerned business enterprises conducted on Fifth avenue and on 135th street, week's article covers the district of Seventh avenue, from 131st to 137th streets, treating business places on both east and west sides, and not the west side only, as was announced in last week's issue. No Negro on West Sido of Avenue. Starting at 131st street, and including the intermediate blocks to 137th street, there are found only sixteen places of business conducted by colored men and women, while thirty-seven business places are conducted by whites. On the west side of Seventh avenue, in the same territory, there are fifty-eight business places, but not a single one is conducted by a Negro. It is on the west side of Seventh avenue that the largest and most important businesses are located and though the bulk of the Negro population is east of the avenue, a large proportion of the trade given to these stores is gotten from the colored Harlemites. West of Seventh avenue to Eighth avenue there are three blocks populated by Negroes. On 133d and 134th streets the houses on both north and south sides have colored tenants, and on 131st street, they occupy the blocks on the south side. A colored religious congregation has a tenancy in a dwelling on the north side. This indicates that at least forty per cent of the population in the cross streets from 131st to 137th streets is colored. As the blocks from Seventh to Lenox avenues in the same district, is practically all colored the percentage of white population for the entire section from Lenox to Eighth avenues and from 131st to 138th streets would be not over thirty per cent. But with business enterprises to the number of 111, the whites control 85 percent of them. There are 95 whites doing business as against 16 Negroes. Among the business enterprises conducted by Negroes are a catering establishment, a millinery shop, a clothing and pressing establishment, a tailor and stationery shop, two barber shops, two undertaking establishments, a butcher and grocery store, a beauty shops, real estate office and employment agency, one of the best equipped and controlled restaurants in the city, which was so and indeed the last had to close because at a lack of patronage. The millinery shop formerly located on 113th street had to compete with at least three other shops in this district. Whites Get 90 Por Cont. of Trade. Careful inquiry shows that race merchants, on this district receive about ten per cent of the race trade. Controlled fifteen per cent of the business enterprises so far as numbers go, most of the businesses consist of the race have short stems in stock and service supplied by white merchant funds to secure even a small part of the trade. The west side of Seventh Avenue are to be found what appear to be excellent prosperous businesses occupying spacious permits, the business being conducted by white merchants but a large proportion of the trade being colored customers Dry goods stores a department store a seafood estab lishment, a hardware store a plumbing establishment stores making a specialty of ladies furnishings and furniture store are among some of the largest establishments on the west side of the street and there are be sides groceries salons laundries haberdasheries clothing store, selling on credit, confectioneries, meat shops, poultry dealers delicatessens, drug stores, cigar stores electrician's shop, bakery and lunch shops, jewelry store, fur repairer, dairy, real estate office and ice cream parlor Won't Rent to Negroes. All of these are conducted by white merchants. As mentioned above, not a single business enterprise on the west side of Seventh avenue, is conducted by a Negro merchant. It is a matter of common report that it is useless effort for a colored man to make an attempt to secure business quarters on the west side of Seventh avenue. No effort was made in it said, to secure a merchant building that has stood empty for a month the purpose of the gro business enterprise.

We are making a special appeal to each of our subscribers to cooperate with us in our campaign for new subscribers We wait 25,000 new subscribers within the next four months. How many will you send us? If each one will send us two, we will have this number written the time mentioned. Earn one of the prizes we are offering LET THE MONEY FLOW. We urge every friend and believer in the late ROBERT T. WASHINGTON to contribute to the Memorial Fund that is being raised as a memorial to him. Remember that this money goes directly to the Tuskegee Institute as a permanent endowment. Our white friends—his friends, those who have always assisted us, and given us great encouragement and pleaded for an equal opportunity for us—have pledged themselves to raise $1,750,000. We are asked to raise only $25,000. Greater New York with its 150 000 Negro population, should be glad to help perpetuate the memory of the man they professed to admire and respect when living. He is dead but his work lives. Don't let it be said that your admiration was only skin deep. Let your respect and admiration be everlasting. Don't let white friends be more sincere than we are. Let us arouse and give our portion of this money. Booker Washington pleaded for us, and wore himself out for us; don't let it be said that we are ungrateful. The time is short in which to raise this money. N. man, woman or child can plead poverty. Give a dime; some can give a quarter, some a half dollar, and many a dollar or more. Give all you can afford to give. Don't be afraid or assumed. Every Lodge and every Society and organization should want to be counted in this great movement. Let the money roll in from pennies to dollars. Let us show to our white friends that we are cheerfully doing our part. Don't let us need to be ashamed of ourselves. Let the money flow into the hands of the Treasurer. Don't wait, begin now. Headquarters are located at 287 Seventh avenue. Call in there. Another is 202 West 3rd street at Lincoln Settlement, and the main office is 32 East 42nd street Room 11. All pull together and $15,000 will easily pile up. Let the money pour in to-day to-morrow and even day until a campaign closes. NEGRO BUSINESS IN HAR- LEM The articles which THE ACE is running on business conflicts in Harlem are based on a careful painstaking investigation; therefore, our readers may rely upon the figures that are given. These articles show that there has! a marked advance made by the race in business. On Fifth avenue from 131st to 138th streets, there are 130 business places of these 16 are conducted by Negroes, this is about 12 per cent. On the other hand, fully 98 per cent. of the trade that sustains these stores comes from colored people. In the two blocks on 135th street from Fifth to Seventh avenues there are 117 places of business Of these, 65 are conducted by Negroes; this is about 36 per cent But more than 99 per cent of the trade which supports these establishments comes from colored people. So, although the race has made business advancement in Harlem during the past year or two, it has not yet measured up to the possibilities. In fact, it has barely VIEWS and REVIEWS If any added proof were needed to show that the Administration at Washington is unable to deal with a critical condition which calls for decision and action, that proof is furnished by the President's recent statement to the country, and supplemented by a resolution introduced by Senator J Hamilton Lewis, who frequently constitutes himself the official vocal organ of the Administration in the Upper House. The President's statement is intended to influence public opinion on the Mexican situation, and to reassure the de facto Government of Mexico that the United States has no designs upon Mexican sovereignty. In that part of the statement addressed particularly to the American public, the President charges that a campaign of falsehood is being carried on through the newspapers "for the purpose of bringing about intervention in the interest of certain American owners of Mexican property," and he appeals to the country for aid in thwarting a conspiracy which he declares has been organized to plunge the United States into war with Mexico. The statement closes with the following paragraphs It is my duty to warn the people of the United States that there are persons all along the border who are actively engaged in originating and giving as wide currency as they can to rumors of the most sensational and disturbing sort, which are wholly unjustified by the facts. The object of this duty is to foster and promote it. It is to create intolerable tension between the government of the United States and the de facto Government of Mexico for the purpose of bringing about intervention in the interest of certain American owners of Mexican properties. This object can not be attained so long as safe and immobile men are in control of this Government, but very serious conditions may be created, if necessary, handled may result, and the relations between the two populations may be very much embarrassed. The people of the United States should know the sinister and unruly influences that are about, and should be on the guard against creating any story coming from the burden, and those who disseminate the news should make it a matter of patriotism and of conscience to test the source and authenticity of every report they receive from that quarter. There is no doubt that the newspapers are circulating many false reports concerning conditions in Mexico and along the borders but that does not probe that there is a conspiracy on foot to plunge this country into war. Perhaps there are American owners of Mexican property who would welcome intervention, but that does not necessarily mean that they are at the bottom of a conspiracy to circulate false rumors. Such a state of affairs as we are in with Mexico always breeds false reports, whether or no. False rumors spring up, with or without foundation, and are exaggerated and twisted. There is no need of conspiracy. If a great battle is fought, along with the news of glorious victory will come the rumor of disastrous defeat. But all of this is aside from the real point. Whether there are false rumors or not does not change what we know to be true. The fact that we have sent several thousand soldiers into Mexico means that a condition exists which calls for decision and action and not a lecture on the evils of spreading false reports. If your house is on fire, it is not, the time to trace the cause to some malicious person, to inquire into why he did the act, and to expound the law on arson: the thing to do is to call out the fire department. We are in trouble with Mexico; no words can alter that fact. We have sent our soldiers across the danger in It is the present duty of the Government to make that mission a success, even if it requires the mobilization of the whole regular army and the entire state militia. No additional soldiers have been sent to the border; instead, a long statement issued to allay any senselessness which the de facto Mexican Government might feel and to suppress the spreading of false alarms. The best men in the United States army, and that includes the Fighting Tenth, have been sent across the desert into Mexico. If these men meet with disaster because of insufficient or tardy support, the American people will lay the blame on the heads of the Administration, even though it might be proved that ninety-nine-one-hundredths of all the reports on the situation were false. Now let us glance at the supplementary evidence which goes to prove that the Washington Administration may be well qualified to handle a situation which calls for war, but that it flounders when confronted by one which calls for rest. Here is the resolution as introduced by Senator Lewis: Whereas it is known that the United States that funds and supplies are being delivered for the purpose of being used against the others of the United States There re be tres leas by the Senate the United States. That those who are in and sustenance to the forces of Vita in the tropics opposing the United States are the enemies of the United States, and those in the United States who are furnishing supplies and sustenance to the said Vita and his forces, either of money or provisions arms and ammunition are within the provisions of the laws of the United States deining treason as giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States be it resolved farther. That those in the United States who are giving such support affording supplies, am- scratched the surface of "The Harlem gold mine" We need more Negroes to go into business intelligently; and we need stronger and more united support of co-ered business places on the part of the race. With the proper kind of business enterprise and intelligence and the proper kind of support from the race, 75 per cent of the business in the Negro zone in Harlem should be in the hands of co-ered merchants. The article this week treats conditions on Seventh avenue and Lenox avenue will be considered next week. --- Several weeks ago THE AGE had something to say about Colonel WALLER, who was in charge of the American forces in Haiti. What we had to say was occasioned by the Colonel's statement, as reported in the daily newspapers, that 500 Haitians had been killed. Colonel WALLER has since written a letter to Secretary DANIELS denying that he ever stated that his forces killed 500 Haitians. He goes on to say in his letter to the Secretary: "When you asked the number of Haitians killed in the campaign munition and aid to the Villa forces against the soldiers of the United States are guilty of indirect treason within the meaning of the law, against the sovereignty of the United States and its authority. If it is known to the authorities of the United States that certain persons in this country are furnishing funds and supplies for the purpose of being used against the soldiers of the United States, it is the plain duty of the Government to take immediate steps to stop the delivery of these funds and supplies, and to proceed, if necessary, against the persons furnishing them. The adoption of a condemnatory resolution by Congress is less than a waste of time. THE NEGRO IN AMERICAN ART.

And over again, we have made the statement artistic value belonging to America which by the Negro. The statement sounds as to many colored people. We have called Negro folk-music. Negro popular music tried to show that they are the source of is native to this country; everything else world. Due to time we have run across bits of pamphlet, Mr. Vernon Castle publicly affords, of which he is the foremost exponent as unqualified testimony, let us reproduce paragraphs from a full page interview given by Robert J Coady in New York.

Jack Johnson's shadow dancing is the most of modern times and when he strikes a lie are carried back to the days of Greek brook early everything that is a contribution to art actually American to-day has been produced.

The Negro lives a life even inism that makes it will be Whenever a man makes a statement which he knows to be radical, he is always pleased to have it corroborated. Everybody feels safe in stating old truths that are accepted without question, but when you make a statement which on its face sounds false, you always welcome corroboration. When the writer was in South America he used to sling a gun across his shoulder and tramp through the woods; this he did quite often for exercise—how much game he killed is another story. One day he was out hunting with his colleague, the Cuban Consul. In our tramp we ran across the most novel exhibition of fishing that we have ever seen. We saw a native lying stretched out in his canoe, puffing on his cigarette, while the fish jumped into his boat. When, in this manner, he had caught as many fish as he wanted, he paddled off. As my friend and I looked on, we both realized that the one thing needed was a kodak. I have related this incident to friends, and they have smiled and considered it a good South American "fish story." I have explained just how it was done, but they have only smiled the more. I finally had to give up trying to convince anybody of the truth of the story. I could tell my readers the very logical method used by the lazy fisherman to do the trick; but you, too, would smile. The trouble is, I didn't have a kodak to furnish the proper corroboration. Over and over again, we have made the statement that there is nothing of artistic value belonging to America which has not been originated by the Negro. The statement sounds absurd to most people, even to many colored people. We have cited the Negro folk-stories, Negro folk-music, Negro popular music and Negro dances, and tried to show that they are the source of everything artistic which is native to this country; everything else is borrowed from the old world. From time to time we have run across bits of partial corroboration. For example, Mr. Vermon Castle publicly admits that the modern dances, of which he is the foremost exponent, are of Negro origin. But, as unqualified testimony, let us reproduce the following striking paragraphs from a full page interview in The Morfing Telegraph" given by Robert J. Coady a New York artist. The Negro is better fitted for a service to art than is the white Jack Johnson's shadow dancing is the most beautiful dancing of modern times and when he strikes a fighting pose we are carried back to the days of Greek bronzes. Nearly everything that is a contribution to art which is typically American to-day has been produced by the Negro. For example, ragtime, back and wing, the cakewalk, and even the modern forms of dancing—which are decidedly of Negro origin. The sense of rhythm, the sportive faculty, abandon spirit of play, athleticness have their beginnings somewhere in the almost primitive depths of Africa. The Negro lives a life ever more metamorphosis that Mr. Coady in his interview goes on to state that Cezanne, the father of modern painting, had a great mother, and that this Negro-Spanish influence is what is felt in his work. He also says that Picasso, a master of the "new art" of Spanish and Negro ancestry, his innumerable paintings of America contribute anything original to painting it will be due to Negro influence.

SAVES JAMES W. JOHNSON IN THE NEW YORK AREA the national Negro weekly, "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 of men who can work in full sympathy with the Haitians and in complete understanding of their needs and aspirations. The sending of men who will consciously or unconsciously lord it over the natives will be certain to destroy any and every good that might come out of intervention." Success in Haiti depends on the rigid exclusion of the reward of "Deserving Democrats" that Mr. BRYAN introduced into San Domina South America he used to sling a gun through the woods; this he did quite time he killed is another story.

(From the Christian Register.) The enactment of an ordinance for the segregation of Negroes in St. Louis by a majority of over 24,000 votes will give much impetus to the movement that has acquired headway in several cities with a mixed population but its significance is likely to be wrongly estimated. It is not so much a judgment of the real question at issue as it is an expression of the wish of most white people not to have colored residents in their neighborhood. The vital principle at stake, the right of citizens to hold and use their property with all the rights other citizens of any race decided. It is also the desire to define a commitment to a general election a decision which belongs to courts and which cannot properly or intelligently be consummated by the public, especially under the influence of a prejudice. It shows that ignorance is not confined to the ignorant alone, for citizens of the higher class showed gross ignorance of the point at stake. Fortunately THE RUSSELL GIBSON DIME FUND FOR BOOKER T.

BORDENTOWN SCHOOL GETS APPROPRIATION Trenton, N.J. - a result of the contract campaign inaugurated and con- ducted by the Negroes of New Jersey individuals, of the prominent and industrial white citizens, the New Jersey Individuals made an appropriation for the Manual Training and Industrial school at Erie堡on $20,000, to be available November 1 for the school car or 1907-17 Col D. Stewart Crayon, chairman of the committee of the State Board in charge of the school, and J S. Trelingbur, president of the State Board of Education in active agencies in securing naval action on the appropriation. The school has never been favored with so large an appropriation, last year's amount only totalling $24,000. Negro organizations of the State, notably the Committee of 100 of Hudson County, were important factors in the campaign, sending committees to visit members of the appropriations committee, and writing thousands of letters to members of the legislature. Principal W R Valentine announces that the appropriation will be divided as follows. Maintenance, $37,000, trade building, $12,000, equipment for trade building, $6,000, dormitory, $25,000, teachers' home, $10,000, materials for permanent improvements, $2,000, fire water system, $3,000, domestic water supply, $1,500 OLDEST EMPLOYEE OF SOUTHERN IS NEGRO BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Southern Railway Company announced yesterday that at the head of the list of 146 employees presented with loyalty medals for over twenty-five years' service in Birmingham on Monday was a colored hammerman named Taylor Parkman, whose service dates to 1858.

The employees receiving medals were those of the Birmingham and Mobile divisions. The presentations were made by President Fairfax Harrison. THE STORIES OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN Col. Roosevelt at Dominica, Trinidad, W. I., Addressing His Guard of Honor. (N-gro Soldiers.) TEMPORIZING POLICY Columbia, S.C.A writer in the State, of this city, incidentally reters to the difficulty experienced by Negroes in securing their registration certificates, in spite of the fact that they are prepared educationally and from a property qualification An amusing incident occurred some time ago in the very temple of justice. A certain party applied for registration. He had his registration certificate from the county whence he came, and also his tax receipt for the county in which he desired to be registered. The registrars did their best to turn him down in spite of his education and property qualification. In his presence the newly appointed pastor of the M F Church, South, was registered without any requirements save his name, age and home address. The attention of the registrars was called to the glaring discrimination but with no redress save to write to the registrars for a statement from the county whence he came. The party knowing his rights, applied to the Republican elector, and he was advised to pursue the course of least resistance. The party lasted to his Democratic friend, a lawyer, a Christian man and explained to him the situation. In a few minutes the party had his certificate. In this case the Negro had the Democratic registrars and Republican indifference with which to contend. Another case in point August 23, 1915, a few Negroes through their attorneys succeeded in having Judge Gars rule that they be registered as bona fide voters of Greenwood County. The servant of the lawyer was regarded by the editor of a paper as a dirty work, and that he was the owl. Lower in the State who would embarrass the judge as to the question of Negro registration. The other clauses that it has been an unwritten law to refuse to take such cases in court at an price. Many of the registrars deep down in their hearts have a silent contempt for the men who have appointed them with the instruction to perjure themselves and do violence to their better nature.

LILY WHITES ADVISE RATES AND SUBJECTS A. R. Stewart. BUREAU FOR GRADUATES Nashville Team. After several years of experience, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has been convinced of the need of some general education for helping graduates of Negro institutions to find occupations in fields suited to their ability and training. In trying to work out some plan to help in this particular, the league has decided to open a Worker's Vocational Bureau. In announcing the opening of the bureau in George L. Haynes, one of the executive secretaries of the league, states that this bureau will try to get in touch with various fields of work that are seeking trained people and connect up with the graduates of the schools who show evidence of efficiency and character. It will be the sum of the bureau to bring them the positions and those seeking the positions together to forever the bureau has selected first-hand information to communicate a candidate, it will do so, its general policy will be to pursue the employer with the school records and recommendations of those who know the candidate, leaving the final opinion as to the candidates qualifications to those who wish to employ him. "The League says Dr Haynes wishes to make clear that this Workers' Vocational Bureau does not intend in any way to interfere with the present or future work of any institution in placing its own graduates in positions. The aim is merely to supplement the efforts of individuals and institutions. To this end we welcome any suggestions and criticisms at any time, and for this work the Bureau currently solicits the co-operation of everyone." The Bureau will be located in Nashville. Tennessee the Southern headquarters of the League. In order to be in closer touch with the larger number of Negro institutions located in the South. The Bureau, which will be opened April, offers its services to schools, colleges, business firms, and other organizations deserving the services of trained men and women.

TRINIDAD BOY WRITES FROM FRENCH TRENCHES Port of Spain, Trinidad.—The Gazette of March 5 published some interesting extracts from a letter written by Roderick Waterman, son of W.

He was in my platoon and was a thorough sport. I sincerely regret his death." ALABAMA MINISTER RESIGNS FOR OPINION Montgomery, Ala—Religious circles were shocked and surprised this week when the daily newspapers announced that Dr. Robert Chapman Judkins, pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery's most important Baptist organization, had tendered his resignation. Dr. Judkins announces that there has arisen between himself and his official board certain doctrinal differences, and being tenacious of his own opinions, he has felt it best to relieve the situation by resigning. The daily newspapers have published a number of letters and interview, indicating how highly Dr. Judkins is regarded by the good people of Montgomery, who are loathe to have him leave. He has pastored the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church for eleven years, during which time it has grown from a small membership to one of the largest and most important religious organizations in the State. The church is located on Montgomery's most beautiful and most important street, and has been beautified and renovated in several particulare during Dr Judkins' pastorate. A new pipe organ has been installed and the church is wholly out of debt. Dr Judkins is a man of the highest character of splendid ability, well educated and a citizen who has added much in keeping racial relations in Montgomery friendly as between the races. He leaving Montgomery would be a real calamity. COZART A CANDIDATE. WANTS T. ROOSEVELT Trenton, N. J—Designating Theodore Roosevelt as his choice for President, Wm F.

We are making a special appeal to each of our subscribers to cooperate with us in our campaign for new subscribers. We want 25,000 new subscribers within the next four months. How many will you send us? If each one will send us two, we will have this number within the time mentioned. Earn one of the prizes we are offering LET THE MONEY FLOW. We urge every friend and believer in the late BOOKER T. WASHINGTON to contribute to the Memorial Fund that is being raised as a memorial to him. Remember that this money goes directly to the Tuskegee Institute as a permanent endowment. Our white friends—his friends, those who have always assisted us, and given us great encouragement and pleaded for an equal opportunity for us—have pledged themselves to raise $1,750,000. We are asked to raise only $250,000. Greater New York with its 150,000 Negro population, should be glad to help perpetuate the memory of the man they professed to admire and respect when living. He is dead but his work lives. Don't let it be said that your admiration was only skin deep. Let your respect and admiration be everlasting. Don't let white friends be more sincere than we are. Let us arouse and give our portion of this money. Booker Washington pleaded for us, and wore himself out for us; don't let it be said that we are ungrateful. The time is short in which to raise this money. No man, woman or child can plead poverty. Give a dime, some can give a quarter; some a half dollar, and many a dollar or more. Give all you can afford to give. Don't be afraid or ashamed. Every Lodge and every Society and organization should want to be counted in this great movement. Let the money roll in, from pennies to dollars. Let us show to our white friends that we are cheerfully doing our part. Don't let us need to be ashamed of ourselves. Let the money flow into the hands of the Treasurer. Don't wait, begin now. Headquarters are located at 2307 Seventh avenue. Call in there. Another is 202 West 63rd street at Lincoln Settlement, and the main office is 39 East 42nd street. Room 11. All pull together and $15,000 will easily pile up. Let the money pour in to-day to-morrow and every day until the campaign closes. NEGRO BUSINESS IN HARLEM The articles which THE AGE is running on business conditions in Harlem are based on a careful and painstaking investigation; therefore, our readers may rely upon the figures that are given. These articles show that there has been a marked advance made by the race in business. On Fifth avenue, from 131st to 138th streets, there are 130 business places, of these 16 are conducted by Negroes; this is about 12 per cent. On the other hand, fully 98 per cent. of the trade that sustains these stores comes from colored people. In the two blocks on 135th street, from Fifth to Seventh avenues, there are 117 places of business Of these, 65 are conducted by Negroes; this is about 36 per cent. But more than 99 per cent. of the trade which supports these establishments crimes from colored people. So, although the race has made business advancement in Harlem during the past year or two, it has not yet measured up to the possibilities. In fact, it has barely VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR ASIDE FROM THE POINT. If any added proof were needed to show that the Administration at Washington is unable to deal with a critical condition which calls for decision and action, that proof is furnished by the President's recent statement to the country, and supplemented by a resolution introduced by Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, who frequently constitutes himself the official vocal organ of the Administration in the Upper House. The President's statement is intended to influence public opinion on the Mexican situation, and to reassure the de facto Government of Mexico that the United States has no designs upon Mexican sovereignty. In that part of the statement addressed particularly to the American public, the President charges that a campaign of falsehood is being carried on through the newspapers "for the purpose of bringing about intervention in the interest of certain American owners of Mexican property," and he appeals to the country for aid in thwarting a conspiracy which he declares has been organized to plunge the United States into war with Mexico. The statement closes with the following paragraphs: It is my duty to warn the people of the United States that there are persons all along the border who are actively engaged in originating and giving as wide currency as they can to rumors of the most sensational and disturbing sort, which are wholly unjustified by the facts. The object of this traffic in falshood is obvious. It is to create intolerable friction between the Government of the United States and the de facto Government of Mexico for the purpose of bringing about intervention in the interest of certain American owners of Mexican properties. This object can not be attained so long as sane and honorable men are in control of this Government, but very serious conditions may be created, unnecessary blood-shed may result, and the relations between the two republics may be very much embarrassed. The people of the United States should know the sinister and unsurpulous influences that are afoot, and should be on their guard against crediting any story coming from the border, and those who disseminate the news should make it a matter of patriotism and of conscience to test the source and authenticity of every report they receive from that quarter. There is no doubt that the newspapers are circulating many false reports concerning conditions in Mexico and along the border; but that does not prove that there is a conspiracy on foot to plunge this country into war. Perhaps there are American owners of Mexican property who would welcome intervention, but that does not necessarily mean that they are at the bottom of a conspiracy to circulate false rumors. Such a state of affairs as we are in with Mexico always breeds false reports, whether or no. False rumors spring up, with or without foundation, and are exaggerated and twisted. There is no need of conspiracy. If a great battle is fought, along with the news of glorious victory will come the rumor of disastrous defeat. But all of this is aside from the real point. Whether there are false rumors or not does not change what we know to be true. The fact that we have sent several thousand soldiers into Mexico means that a condition exists which calls for decision and action and not a lecture on the evils of spreading false reports. If your house is on fire, it is not the time to trace the cause to Some malicious person, to inquire into why he did the act, and to expound the law on arson; the thing to do is to call out the fire department. We are in trouble with Mexico; no words can alter that fact. We have sent our soldiers across the border on a dangerous mission. It is the present duty of the Government to make that mission a success, even if it requires the mobilization of the whole regular army and the entire state militia. No additional soldiers have been sent to the border; instead, a long statement is issued to allay any sensitiveness which the de facto Mexican Government might feel and to suppress the spreading of false alarms. The best men in the United States army, and that includes the Fighting Tenth, have been sent across the desert into Mexico. If these men meet with disaster because of insufficient or tardy support, the American people will lay the blame on the heads of the Administration, even though it might be proved that ninety-nine-one-hundredths of all the reports on the situation were false. Now let us glance at the supplementary evidence which goes to prove that the Washington Administration may be well qualified to handle a situation which calls for words, but that it flounders when confronted by one which calls for action. Here is the resolution as introduced by Senator Lewis: Whereas it is known to the authorities of the United States that funds and supplies are being furnished to the force and following of Villa in Mexico from foreign countries and from sources in the United States of America, and Whereas such supplies and sustenance are being delivered for the purpose of being used against the soldiers of the United States. Therefore be it resolved by the Senate of the United States. That those who are furnishing such supplies and sustenance to the forces of Villa for the purpose of opposing the United States are the enemies of the United States, and those in the United States who are furnishing supplies and sustenance to the said Villa and his forces, either of money or provisions arms and ammunition, are within the provisions of the laws of the United States defining treason as giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States; be it resolved further. That those in the United States who are giving such support, affording supplies, am- scratched the surface of "The Harlem gold mine." We need more Negroes to go into business intelligently; and we need stronger and more united support of colored business places on the part of the race. With the proper kind of business enterprise and intelligence and the proper kind of support from the race, 75 per cent of the business in the Negro zone in Harlem should be in the hands of colored merchants. The article this week treats conditions on Seventh avenue and Lenox avenue will be considered next week. --- COLONEL WALLER'S CORRECTION. Several weeks ago THE AGE had something to say about Colonel WALLER, who was in charge of the American forces in Haiti. What we had to say was occasioned by the Colonel's statement, as reported in the daily newspapers, that 500 Haitians had been killed. Colonel WALLER has since written a letter to Secretary DANIEL denying that he ever stated that his forces killed 500 Haitians. He goes on to say in his letter to the Secretary: "When you asked the number of Haitians killed in the campaign, mansion and aid to the Villa forces against the soldiers of the United States are guilty of indirect treason within the meaning of the law, against the sovereignty of the United States and its authority. If it is known to the authorities of the United States that certain persons in this country are furnishing funds and supplies for the purpose of being used against the soldiers of the United States, it is the plain duty of the Government to take immediate steps to stop the delivery of these funds and supplies, and to proceed, if necessary, against the persons furnishing them. The adoption of a condemnatory resolution by Congress is less than a waste of time. THE NEGRO IN AMERICAN ART.

One to time we have run across bits of par example, Mr. Vernon Castle publicly accuses, of which he is the foremost exponent as unqualified testimony, let us reproduce paragraphs from a full page interview in a given by Robert J Coady, a New York Negro is better fitted for a service to artiste.

His intimation is the anything original to painting, it will be Whenever a man makes a statement which he knows to be radical, he is always pleased to have it corroborated. Everybody feels safe in stating old truths that are accepted without question, but when you make a statement which on its face sounds false, you always welcome corroboration. When the writer was in South America he used to sling a gun across his shoulder and tramp through the woods; this he did quite often for exercise—how much game he killed is another story. One day he was out hunting with his colleague, the Cuban Consul. In our tramp we ran across the most novel exhibition of fishing that we have ever seen. We saw a native lying stretched out in his canoe, puffing on his cigarette, while the fish jumped into his boat. When, in this manner, he had caught as many fish as he wanted, he paddled off. As my friend and I looked on, we both realized that the one thing needed was a kodak. I have related this incident to friends, and they have smiled and considered it a good South American "fish story." I have explained just how it was done, but they have only smiled the more. I finally had to give up trying to convince anybody of the truth of the story. I could tell my readers the very logical method used by the lazy fisherman to do the trick; but you, too, would smile. The trouble is, I didn't have a kodak to furnish the proper corroboration. Over and over again, we have made the statement that there is nothing of artistic value belonging to America which has not been originated by the Negro. The statement sounds absurd to most people, even to many colored people. We have cited the Negro folk-stories, Negro folk-music, Negro popular music and, Negro dances, and tried to show that they are the source of everything artistic which is native to this country; everything else is borrowed from the old world. From time to time we have run across bits of partial corroboration. For example, Mr. Vernon Castle publicly admits that the modern dances, of which he is the foremost exponent, are of Negro origin. But, as unqualified testimony, let us reproduce the following striking paragraphs from a full page interview in "The Morning Telegraph" given by Robert J Coady, a New York artist. The Negro is better fitted for a service to art than is the white. Jack Johnson's shadow dancing is the most beautiful dancing of modern times, and when he strikes a fighting pose we are carried back to the days of Greek bronzes. Nearly everything that is a contribution to art which is typically American to-day has been produced by the Negro. For example, a time, back and wing, the cakewalk, and even the modern forms of dancing—which are decidedly of Negro origin. The sense of rhythm, the sportive faculty, abandon, spirit of play, athletic activities have their beginnings somewhere in the almost primitive depths of Africa. The Negro lives a life, even in this age of cold commercialism, that is full of poetry. Mr. Coady in his interview goes on to state that Cezanne, the father of modern painting, though Jorn in France, had a creole mother, and that this Negro-Spanish influence is what is felt in his work. He also says that Picasso, a master of the "new art," is of Spanish and Negro ancestry. His intimation is that if America contributes anything original to painting, it will be due to Negro influence. you will recall that I answered that it was impossible to tell, as the reports made to me did not include the wounded, the reason for this being that the Hattans had their wounded and afterward neglected them, from which cause many of them probably died from infected wounds. "I was operating over an area of about six hundred square miles, but I have no reason to believe that the reports made to me by any subordinates were not correct, and the total number reported were less than one hundred and sixty-five, as well as I remember at this time." We now have it over Colonel WALTER'S own signature that, as well as he could remember at the time, only 165 Hattians were killed. Nevertheless, we cannot but wish that the administration had been as willing to be patient with Hatti as it shows itself to be with Mexico. If such a course had been followed, there is little doubt but that the United States would finally have found a way to co-operate with Hatti for the good of the Hattian people without the shedding of blood on either side. THE RIGHT MEN FOR HAITI The Globe of March 27, contained the following editorial: Guiding Haiti. "There is no doubt," says JAMES W. JOHNSON in THE NEW YORK ACE, the national Negro weekly, "that the proper sort of cooperation 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 of men who can work in full sympathy with the Haitians and in complete understanding of their needs and aspirations. The sending of men who will consciously or unconsciously lord it over the natives will be certain to destroy any and every good that might come out of intervention." Success in Haiti depends on the rigid exclusion of the reward of "Deserving Democrats" that Mr. RAVAN introduced into San Domin- statement which he knows to be have it corroborated.

The worst enemies of the Monks' doctrine and of wholes the relations with the half-developed relations of the saints are those who would turn the selection of administrators over to spiesmen. But in regard to Haiti as the Air suggests something is needed than the evolution to the top层. Our administrators must have the spirit of Gorrit, rather than of VAR MAN, Nestorius (as written). No man can be a good teacher who hates his sleep. Huytus prefers the most but of all in the world. This patron is a teacher to be upward to the left. But the teachers must have sympathy for the taught and be tolerant toward their weaknesses. From the first THE AGE has held that American intervention can be of benefit to the Haitian people if this Government sends the right sort of men there to administer affairs, otherwise, it will be worse than a failure. We are glad to see a great paper like The Globe endorse our stand. WE RETURN THE SALUTATION. (From the Dallas (Tox.) Express.) The Dallas Express in passing, merely wishes to how its respects to the great New York Age, which is still fighting the battles of a struggling people THE VITAL PRINCIPLE IN ST. LOUIS. (From the Christian Registar.) The enactment of an ordinance for the segregation of Negroes in sit-ins by a majority of over 34,000 votes will fill the movement that has acquired headway in several cities with a mixed population but its significance is likely to be wrongly estimated. It is not so much a judgment of the real question at issue as it is an expression of the wish of most white people not to have residents in their neighborhood. The right of citizens to hold and their property with all the rights other citizens enjoy, is now decided. It is shown how undesirable it is to commit to a general election a decision which belongs to courts, and which cannot properly or intelligently be consumed, public, especially under the influence of race, shows that ignorance is not confined to ignorant alone, for citizens of the higher class showed gross ignorance of the point at stake.

BRITISH TREATMENT OF AN "ALLY." From South African Native Opinion. What is described as "an unfortunate incident" took place in Capetown the days before the war. An officer of the first Japanese mail steamer using the Cape route the Kamo Maru," which arrived last evening alluded to experiences at the British Dominion ports which, he said, were the most dangerous for the Japanese people. As an instance he mentioned that the ship's doctor, an educated man, last night entered a cafe in the city, when he was approached by an attendant and told that the cafe for Europeans only, whereupon he left. The 'Arms' commenting on the incident, says it is simply diplomatic that in occurrence of this kind should be possible. The Japanese are a highly civilized and splendidly educated race, more than that they are our trusted allies and have rendered and are reminding of the cause of the Entente Powers. We therefore Japanese someone that the British ports in any part of the world they are entitled to be treated with cordial friendliness and the utmost respect. This is so obvious that it would hardly seem necessary, but as unfortunately here as elsewhere, there are some very well-informed people, it would perhaps be the number of Commerce would take the upper up with the authorities, so as to guard against any repetition of such an incident as that recorded. A COLORED CANDIDATE. (From Ohio State Journal, Columbus.) Perhaps it is not proper for us to speak politically, but so far as we are individually concerned we are free to say that we propose to vote for Ralph W. Tyler for one of the so-called big delegates to the Republican national convention, we will do this, first because Mr Tyler is a man and will honor Ohio in the delegation second, because he is a respected representative of a people who have always been faithful to the Republican party, third because he was impressed from an offence which he was a great credit to us because he was a bishop in the church and a respected director as assumed to commit this delegation without consulting the people. Any one of these reasons is sufficient to prompt a man to vote for Mr Tyler, and taking them together they are invited to and we are that they are taken upon the person who have been called to the delegation a good opportunity for the Republican part to show in a modest way its appreciation of the colored vote.

To the Editor of The Age: The article in a recent issue of The Age on "The Catholics and Negroes" was timely, enlightening and sincerely written. Is now doing such a splendid work among the colored people, is paying back to the American Negro an old debt that has been standing for 600 years. Is the fact that Cardinal Ximines and Archbishop Las Cases asked for and recovied permission from Pope Alexander VI, allowing the Spanish civil and ecclesiastical authorities to import into Hispania and the world more morally and inherently with the introduction of Afrika and the western hemisphere, is the present day Negro question; is the result of and the outflow of the great work which he like, morally responsible for, present day conditions with which the race is confronted.

When angels caught thy passing fleeting breath, All heaven rejoiced the earthly friends lild weep. From slowly depth, through desert, plain and vale, Where dismal shadows fell in darkness wild, Bequeathing memories of a thrilling tale. Giving the story of a slave-born child. Life's struggles and its burdens thou didst bear, Brinkley and calmly with a strength divine, Which made thee feel that thou should always share. The yoke of life,—thy brother's lot with thine. And this grand ideal foremost in thy heart, It manned thy courage, gave the strength anew. As in the end, so it was from the start. Fresh as a rose kissed by the nectar dew And so, heaven sent, to help a trodden race. Whose mournful cries found refuge in thy soul. God showed to thee the struggle they must face. To pave the way to that far distant goal. If great the burden placed within thine hands, Greater the courage given to win the fight, And wend thy way thro' stormy desert sands, To reach the mountain top and catch the light. The dormant soil was touched with magic hand, And let it blossomed like the queenly Rose. And stately walls and lofty buildings grand. Rose up where forests stood in calm repose. Noble and sturdy hosts come from thine halls, Ably prepared to meet Life's stars demands. And sow the seeds where ever Culture calls. Ready to touch the world with helping hands. Oh, Master Mind of a potential race, Who gave myself to raise the standard. And like a rock to stand a solid base. On which to build our progress to the sky Fame, honor, praise and plaudits of the earth. Had come to thee whose life entire was given. Who purposed, planned, conceived and gave a birth.

To do the good and help their brothers win. So, worldly fame doth claim thee as her son, Thou who hast climbed to Honor's distant height. Where things in common make all there as one.

LILY WHITES ADVISE TEMPORIZING POLICY COLUMBIA, S C-A writer in the State, of this city, incidentally refers to the difficulty experienced by Negroes in securing their registration certificates, in spite of the fact that they are prepared educationally and from a property qualification. An amusing incident occurred some time ago in the very temple of justice. A certain party applied for registration. He had his registration certificate from the county whence he came, and also his tax receipt for the county in which he desired to be registered. The registrars did their best to turn him down in spite of his education and property qualification. In his presence the newly appointed pastor of the M. E. Church, South, was registered without any requirements save his name, age and home address. The attention of the registrars was called to the glaring discrimination, but with no redress save to write to the registrars for a statement from the county whence he came. The party knowing his rights, applied to the Republican elector, and he was advised to pursue the course of least resistance. The party hastened to his Democratic friend, a lawyer, a Christian man and explained to him the situation. In a few minutes the party had his certificate. In this case the Negro had the Democratic registrars and Republican indifference with which to contend. Another case in point: August 23, 1915, a few Negroes through their attorney succeeded in having Judge Gary rule that they be registered as bona fide voters of Greenwood County. The service of the lawyer was regarded by the editor of a paper as "a dirty work," and that he was the only lawyer in the State who embarrass the judge as to the question of Negro registration. The editor concludes that "it has been an unwritten law to refuse to take such cases in court at any price." Many of the registrars deep down in their hearts have a silent contempt for the men who have appointed them with the instruction to perjure themselves and do violence to their better nature.

Amusements Among the Young People URBAN LEAGUE OPENS BUREAU FOR GRADUATES Nashville, Tenn.—After several years of experience, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has been convinced of the need of some general agency for helping graduate of Negro institutions to find occupations in fields suited to their ability and training. In trying to work out some plan to improve the performance of the team has decided to open a Worker's Vocational Bureau. In announcing the opening of the bureau, Dr. George E. Haynes, one of the executive secretaries of the league, states that this bureau will try to get it touch with those seeking trained people and connect up with the graduates of the schools who show evidence of efficiency and character. It will be the aim of the bureau to bring those offering the positions and those seeking the position to the bureau has sufficient first-hand information to recommend a candidate, it will do so, but its general policy will be to furnish the employer with the school records and recommendations of those who know the candidate, leaving the bureau as to those who wish to employ him. "The League," says Dr. Haynes, wishes to make clear that this Workers' Vocational Bureau does not intend in any way to interfere with the presence of its graduates in placing its own graduates in positions. The aim is merely to supplement the efforts of individuals and institutions. To this end we welcome any suggestions and criticisms at any time. For him, the Bureau earnestly solicits the co-operation of everyone. The bureau will be opened in Nashville, Tennessee the Southern headquarters of the league in order to be in closer proximity to the degree institutions located in the South. The bureau, which will be opened April 1, offers its services to schools, colleges, business firms, and other organizations desiring the services of its graduates to women. Correspondence is invited. WOMEN'S CLUBS TO MEET IN BALTIMORE BALTIMORE, Md.—The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, president, is to hold its next biennial meeting in this city, beginning Sunday, August 6, 1916, at which time a mass meeting will be held at one of the important churches. The program proper begins Monday, August 7, closing August 10. The various committees are arranging for the meeting—not only the local Baltimore committee, but also the standing committees of the organization. The present plant is to bring before the next meeting a full report of the activities of colored women throughout the country. The last meeting was held at Wilberforce Ohio, August 1914. ASK CONGRESS FOR ARTILLERY REGIMENTS Washington, D. C.-The House and Senate committees on military affairs have recently received letters urging that at least two regiments of artillery and two of infantry in the proposed increase of the army be composed of Negro troops. The record made by colored troops in the civil and Spanish-American wars and in the Philippine campaign is cited in support of the request. TRINIDAD BOY WRITES FROM FRENCH TRENCHES FROM FRENCH TRENCHES Port of Spain, Trinidad.-The Gazette of March 5 published some interesting extracts from a-letter written by Roderick Waterman, of A. A. Waterman, who belongs to the 17th Highland Light Infantry, on active service somewhere in France. He stated among other things "I'm well and going strong and hope to keep it as long as I am able to course I have been extremely fortunate up to now. We returned to the tree she was sitting a live and an exciting time. Almost every day we are being bombarded severely both in the trenches and in the village behind. Of course, our artillery always reply most severely, and, to ooze the enemy, we have received your letters regularly, one almost every week, and I sincerely hope you are receiving mine just the same. There were a few gas attacks on our front lines but for隆重 they were not effective. I understand that an English Regiment was bombarded with gas and attacked twice and yet they held their ground. I read in an English paper no one on the front line unnipers, no doubt you have already heard of that. Last Sunday the most popular man in our battalion was accidentally killed while on patrol, of course I can't go into details for I don't know what happened to the Censor. He was in my platoon and was a thorough sport. I sincerely regret his death." ALABAMA MINISTER RESIGNS FOR OPINION Montgomery, Ala.—Religious circles were shocked and surprised this week when the daily newspapers announced that Dr. Roberts Chapman Judkins, pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery's most important Baptist organization, had tendered his resignation. Dr. Judkins announces that there has arisen between himself and his official board certain doctrinal differences, and, being tenacious of his own opinions, he has felt it best to relieve the situation by resigning. The daily newspapers have published a number of letters and interviews, indicating how highly Dr. Judkins is regarded by the good people of Montgomery, who are loathe to have him leave. He has pastored the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church for eleven years, during which time it has grown from a small membership to one of the largest and most important religious organizations in the State. The church is located on Montgomery's most beautiful and most important streets, and has been beauti- tied and renovated in several particulars during Dr. Judkins' pastorate. A new pipe organ has been installed and the church is wholly out of debt. Mr. Judkins is a man of the highest character, of splendid ability, well educated, and a citizen who has added much in keeping racial relations in Montgomery friendly as between the races. His leaving Montgomery would be a real calamity. COZART A CANDIDATE. WANTS T. ROOSEVELT Trenton, N. J.-Designating Theodore Roosevelt as his choice for President, Wm. E.

Lightfoot, 400 North Tennessee avenue, is also a candidate from the second district, but expresses no prohibition on his headwaiter. Mr Coart, a retired headwaiter, having for about fifteen years been one of the most prominent men engaged in that line of business in the West.

NEW YORK CITY EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN PLAN from home or private Partners or Receptions at Popular WALKER & PRESS. Proposed HERE was a time when I used to argue until I became hoarse and short of breath in my endeavor, to prove that New York was NOT the biggest "RUBE" town in the country; but, alas! after the most colossal blesque ever staged in the history of the bride ring, which was attended by over 13,000 gullible citizens, who donated nearly $150,000, to watch two second-rate fighters—Willard and Moran—ab their specialty, entitled, "Fourflushing for the Coin," at Madison Square Garden, Saturday evening, I am ready and willing to make the painful admission that New York is a "RUBE" town in the superlative sense. Usually, when a person is caught, selling what is known in police parlance as "phiny goods" he is for many days and nights denied the rare privilege of inhaling huge quantities of ozone at will, as well as the light to haze long and often at the blue sky and other aerial embellishments on every occasion he becomes possessed with such a longing: Woe to the jeweler who sells you a piece of glass for 'real diamond', and your grocer would be flirting with jail, were he to sell you burglarine for batter, But not a vowel is raised in protest when two bruises, who know as much about scientific boxing as a two-month-old child knows about the Hon. Charles Chaplin, page as the leading exponents of the 'fist art and process' to give a most lurid exhibition of their alleged prowess. And although there is much general dissatisfaction over the contest owing to lack of science displayed, yet they get away with it, together with thousands of dollars. Surely there must be something radically wrong. Yest there list something radically wrong -a something that has, among other things, lowered the standard of pugilism in America, and that something is RAÇE PREJUDICE! It seems as if our white fellow citizens, or rather the majority of them would much prefer to see a white American of ordinary ability holding the heavyweight title to a colored -American, of undisputed skill. What care they for standards who are victims of that most contagious American disease, colphobia? As long as a white man is looked upon as the champion of the world, whether he rightfully deserves this distinction, or not, these American "patriots" do not care about the quality of the exhibition not by the Cap征服 combatants. Saturday evening's contest who, after watching how clumsily and slowly Wilford handled himself, believed deep down in his heart that the Johnson-Willard fight was on the level in Havana. That Johnson, after giving Willard a good beating for twenty odd rounds consented to let the white man win after financial and other considerations were taken care of, as Johnson now claims, is the consensus of opinion. But many white Americans, including the sporting writers on our daily papers, would rather jolly themselves alone, believing not in that quotation which says in part, "First of three own self be true." Even in New York City there are some writers, of sport who refuse to fool themselves or the public, knowing that in the long run such deception practised as a booering man. I am quoting a writer on the New York Tribune who, in reporting that Willard-Moran fight, gives the following facts: As a snaggleback the bout was hardly impressive. The fifteen thousand people gathered in the Garden were silent the greater part of the time. Old grizzer John L. watched the bout from Moran's corner, wearing a srowel of disproval as the two men hoodyweights smummed over apparently not a battle to his liking. Kid McCoy; James J. Corbett and Robert Pitamissions all sit at the ground, features registering disapproval. The fight put up by the champion was far from impressive. His disapproval was so severe that Moran sweated heavily upon his head, than he did which he was training with his sparing partners. For the greater part of the time he was wearing a broad and ponderous grin. At the start Willard seemed a bit bewildered. Moran, by a flamy gash, swagger the big fellow into the ropes horribly after the bell rang roars. But Moran got it thrill. But Willard wilted his long arm about the challenger's body and Moran could not penetrate that shield of muscle. Willard seemed even a trifle worried as he went to his corner. After that I became almost monotonous. The above impressions of the Madison Square Garden flasco were written by one with a CONSCIENCE. Now read the following "opinion" expressed in the New York Times: Boxing has never before held the title of the sport, but it does at the present time. The Allied-Men bout attracted a crowd of the nature of which, especially the boxer before, witnessed a gloved edge. Willard, with his abundant physical assets, contended with the speed and athleticism of another athlete in one of a generation. Willard boxing ability is evenly distributed. He relies on no one but his own. He lights up in a straight arm warding him fairly. His rever- bore of blows includes all the best of the boxing business. His defense is so well developed that it will normally hand tank for any fighter to reach him at a vital point. His defense for a right hand blow to the jaw, such as Mora's, is so powerful that the power of the blow is broken before it reaches/his face, if it lands at all. His long arms make it especially difficult for an opponent to reach his stomach. And how vastly different is the following estimate of the bout and the would-be champion-published in the New York Globe: Willard did not win, but won. It was Mora's, but it was a sight that did not end in tight end at that point where the big fellow was all in. Had it gone further Moran, in the opinion of many, have knocked the champion out. Had Moran not done the fighting it would have been a staring, laughing, talking match, with the referee, who according to his conduct, seemed, to consider himself the most important man in the wings. Moran fought all the way. Pittsburgh had shot him by Pittsburgh from Cleveland camp on and on and ever on. Willard is not the greatest heavyweight champion the sport has had. Pittsburgh has shown ability that makes him so formidable. As a boxer he is deficient in many things, but his size makes him practical, unconquerable. Although Willard's performance was a great improvement over the previous exhibitions here more than two years ago, it was disappointing showing was the more impressive. Certainly it was commented upon more favorably. Although some writers, for the sake of race pride and probably other personal considerations, speak in complimentary terms of Willard's exhibition as a king general, the never will be able to erase from the minds of those present at Madison Square Garden late Saturday evening the miscasting showing made by the ex-cowboy. Even with his advantage of fifty pounds in weight, six inches in height and six inches in reach he could not knock out his adversary. As for his right hand, he could have left it back home with his Wild West clothes so little was it useless. An alibi had to be given for the non-activity of this member of the anatomy, which is usually very useful in a fight; so two war martyrs were flashed for public consummation. One that Willard had broken right hand in the third round and the other that he had injured his finger. On this subject the New York Glen remarks: After the fight the champion, claimed that he had broken his right hand in the third, round. It could not have been very badly broken, for it was impaled the fourth right down on Moran's left eye, and lore a cut from which the blood flowed in a stream. While the New York Times says "Boxing has never before held the high place in the public estimation," several local papers published dispatches from Albany on Monday which told of a bill soon to be introduced in the Assembly to stop boxing in this State on the ground that it is brutish. Last Saturday evening's contest is said to have provoked this agitation. But there was nothing brutal to the Willard-Moran contest. It was more of an exhibition for the movies. Some blight was; necessarily spilled. Willard suffered a few bruises and Willard is supposed to have either broken his right hand, or was it a bruise. But they were well repaid for loss of blood and injuries sustained—Willard receiving $47,500 as his share and Moran $23,500. Just as our White American brothers have passed segregation and disfranchisement measures in many States on one pretext or another, but who were really actuated by FEAR, for just such reasons are Willard and other white fighters drawing the color line against colored pugilists whom they know to be their masters in every department of the boxing game, Chairman Wenck of the Boxing Commission is quoted as saying Langford and McVea could defeat Willard. As an amendment I claim "Jack" Johnson, Willis, Langford and McVea could easily knock out Willard. And who conversant with facts pertaining to pugilism to-day dares disapprove this assertion without a guilty conscience? I have all along said in these columns that you cannot make a race huffle out of a nike, even though the mug is white, and this is just what the majority of sporting writers are working intuitively to do with Willard. But it can't be done. Assisted by the United States Government, the white press succeeded in running out of the United States the greatest joke in the history of the prize ring—Jack Johnson. He claims one of the simulations in his agreement to present Willard with the championship title was that he be allowed to return to America and was understood the case brought against him under the White Slave Act, which was purely technical, would be dropped. Johnson wants to see his mother's relatives but while he kept his word and allowed Willard to knock him out, other side did not live up to agreement. So now, the real champion heavy-champion of the world is wandered about somewhere in Spain, a veteran race prejudice and race persecutor. son, Langford, Wills and McVean with the heavyweight champion of the world is the topic of conversation: "so would be confused when you read, in not papers that since Willard defended, really rant there is not a fighter so big who can wrest from him the fourth ship. The "championship" is the "white championship" served to Johnson-Willard fight two since the distinct heavyweight division became formed—the colored heavyweights. Both trios and National and American leagues meet in the fall to determine which ball championship of the world the base fighters do not "relish this" the white black and white heavies in fighting of world's heavyweight champion. So the heavyweight champion of the world, which the championship little HUMAN RACE, is very eager to the pute and must be properly in disguise or later. AT THE LAFYETTE.

J.—At the seventh People's Free Concert for the season 1915-1916, under the auspices of the municipal authorities of "Montclair, the program was rendered in its entirety by artists of the Negro race. The concert was held on Monday evening, March 2, before an audience composed mainly of the wealthiest and most prominent Montclairites, the auditorium being completely filled.

(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 in week in order to reassure its inaugural staff. Do-night Lincoln University' team will clash with the New Jersey All Starg and the main attraction of the evening will be the much advertised 'masked marvel' that will be in the line-up for Jersey. The Spartans defeated the Vandals in Atlantic City by the close margin of one point. It truly must have been Spartan and Spartan must be given credit for the victory. This is Spartan's second victory over the Atlantic City boys. . . . On Thursday night, April 6, Alpha "Big 5" will make its second "final appearance" of the season when they meet the Spartans. This will be the second meeting of the two teams, the first game being played at the beginning of the season in which "Big 5" defeated Spartan. There is no popular request for this game and any advertising request to that effect is ridiculous. Let us take a pad and penell and canvass among the fans and see if they really want this game. Of course there are many fans who will be in the first game, but as far as being a basketball game but as far as being whether it also and Spartan played again this season, it is another matter. We would like to know what people really requested that came and how many of New York's prominent names were on the list. A request to be truly popular must be made by practically everybody from the most prominent of the most obscure. Some of the advertising stunts that are "pulled off" are funny. No wonder that when I asked a certain prominent Alpha, I asked him about the circulars of the game, he eyed responsibility by admitting that if they were not Alpha's work but that Alpha itself, the game would have been a help. One of them, who was the only one, was the play. The Aige was the first to mention this Alphasport game which will most likely be the last kane of the season. When Valentine of the Amsterdam News, pictured in the alphasport house, named them "Incorporated Basketball" they must be some team. After and after Alphasport game over, I will begin my summary and also the picking of my All-American team and and my different local all-star teams. For basketball news of interest to everybody always read the New York Age. Postoffice Clock' Game Postoffice Clerk's Lunch Home: 200 Rt. Rose McWillie will be seen in action on Saturday night, April 1, in the games of the New York Postoffice Clerk's Association in the 69th Regiment armory, 25th street and Licking avenue armory, are gathered for the annual ceremony and will be attended White, Dave Politzer, Frank Stephenson and Jack Eller.
