These meetings were held in the residence of Miss Maybelle McAdoy 156 West 131st street, and the most careful consideration was given to the onerous task.

The New York Age JUDGE DENOUNCES ALABAMA PEONAGE Court Criticises System of Jail Sentences Imposed for Alleged Debts. THE JURY UNABLE TO AGREE Judge Henry D. Clayton, of the United States Court, Declared in His Charge that the Government Had Never Failed to Break Up Peonage Wherever Started in this Country. Special to The New York Am. Montgomery, Ala.—That peonage is not yet killed in this State was evidenced by a case recently tried in the United States Court, before Judge Henry D. Clayton. While the jury failed to bring in a verdict, the attitude taken by the Judge was such as to discourage the traffickers in human flesh in this section. The Montgomery "Advertiser" reported the case as follows Monroe Stewart, now chief of police at Enterprise, Coffee County, but once a deputy sheriff, of that county, was placed on trial in Federal Court yesterday on a charge of peonage. He entered a plea of not guilty. He was represented by A. E. Pace and O. C. Doster, the latter being a former Enterprise lawyer. The jury after being out all afternoon was unable to agree and a mistrial was ordered. The government sought to prove that a Negro woman, known as Della Davis, and who, it is alleged, had several aliases, had been kept in peonage by the defendant, while he was a deputy sheriff there. The defense contended, judging from some of the testimony introduced, that the woman was a bad character, and that she was arraigned before and tried frequently in the various courts at Enterprise, and that the defendant only fulfilled his duty as an officer. Lawyers closed their argument's Tuesday morning and Judge Henry D. Clayton charged the jury. He used the occasion, to severely criticise conditions at Enterprise, indicating that he believed a "System" had existed there by which Negroes were jailed for alleged debts, etc. and court costs collected. He said that the government had never yet failed to break up peonage wherever it was started in this country. The trial occasioned the presence in Dothan of several of the well known citizens of Enterprise, who were witnesses in the case, including a justice of the peace. PASSING OF AN OLD RESIDENT OF BROOKLYN Funeral services over the remains of Peter W. Downing, who died Saturday morning, April 1, were largely attended on Sunday evening at his late residence in Brooklyn. The Rev. George Brazier Miller, rector of St. Augustus P. Church, in William Downing, was born in 1832 in New street, New York City. He was one of the first children baptized in the St. Philip's Church, of which the Rev. Peter Williams was rector. He was one of four sons of Thomas Downing, who for fifty years was the proprietor of the famous Downing Oyster House, located at 3-5-7 Broad street, on the site of present J. P. Morgan building Mr. Downing was educated in the Academic Normandy in France and was a fluent French conversationalist. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was one of the first men to volunteer, but was refused on account of his color. Shortly after he left this country and engaged in trading on the west coast of Africa. He returned before the close of the war and went into business with his father in Broad street. A few years later he became proprietor of the rps restaurant in the old Custom House on Wall street, where he remained for about twenty years. Among his steady patrons were many of the most prominent men of the Wall Street district of that day, and for years he supplied many of the wealthiest families with his holiday delicacies. Mr. Downing was always active in affairs affecting the welfare of his race and like his father and brother, the late George Thomas Downing, of Newport, R. I., he was always ready to co-operate in any public movement. Mr. Downing was probably one of the oldest colored residents of Brooklyn, where he resided for fifty years at 94 Johnson street. His home is known throughout the country as the stopping place of colored people of prominence from all quarters of the globe. Mr. Downing leaves a widow, a son, daughter and two grandons. Burial was in the family plot in Cypress Hills Cemetery. WHITE MEN OPPOSE NEGRO BISHOP Special to The New York Times Wilmington, Del.-The Wilmington M. E.

VIRGINIA UNION WIN A splendid audience filled Mt Olivet Baptist Church last Thursday night to hear the debate between teams from Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, and Virginia University, Richmond. The subject, which was handled in a triangular contest in which Wilberforce University, Ohio, also took part, had as a subject the question of Naval Reserves—that the United States should be the substantially enlarged and strengthened." The affirmative side was handled by Lincoln, while Virginia Union took the negative Lincoln's team was composed of Chrance W. Wood, '16, and Henry B Burton, '16.

Harris, editor New York News, were the judges, and they rendered a unanimous decision in favor of the negative side. Before the debate started, a musical program was rendered, which included a piano solo by W. Lloyd Imes, a baritone solo by Lucien H. White, and a quartet number by the Fleur de Lys Quartet, composed of Miss Amy P. Bailey, Miss Hattie Montague, Miss E. P. Boyer and Mrs. Leta C. Beanam, Mrs. W. P. Hayes served as the accompanist. Arrangements for the debate were perfected by the Rev. W. P. Hayes, Union 07, and J. L. Jamison, Jr. Lincoln 06. The opening invocation was by the Rev. W M. Moss, pastor Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn. Participants were served a collation at the conclusion of the program LINCOLN WILBERFOCE INTERCOLLIGE DEBATE Last Thursday evening Lincoln University debating team was defeated by Charlotte T. E. Hainey, Brooklyn, N. Y. Alice Consuela Foster, Brooklyn, N. Y. Merrill Webster Anderson, Santa Fe, N. Mex. Frederick Jones, Jr. Shreveport, La.

The speakers on both sides showed extensive and painstaking preparation on the subject, which was "Resolved, that the military and naval resources of the United States should be promptly and substantially enlarged and strengthened." Lincoln, having the negative side of the question, was represented by Messrs. Hill and McMorris and Wilberforce, the affirmative, by Messrs. C. S. Spivey and P. P. Berch. The judges were Dr. Edward' Rice, of Pratt Institute; R. M Meroney secretary Carlton Branch Y. M. C. A., and Dr. J. R. Spurgeon, James L. Jamison, secretary of Fifth-third Street Y. M. C. A., presided. The Wilberforce team was in charge of Dr. W. S. Scarborough. The work of Mr. Spivey for Wilberforce was especially good in rebuttal and that team deserves commendation for a better argument. The Lincoln team showed great oratorical ability. WALDRON GIVES $50 TO MEMORIAL FUND Use of Manhattan Casino for Big Bazaar in Aid of Fund Is Also Given. Deeply Concerned Over Amount the Colored People are Raising—Appeal to be Made in the Sunday Schools on Sunday. April 16. Edward Waldron, the popular manager of Manhattan Casino, was among those who voluntarily sent subscriptions to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund this week. Mr. Waldron sent a check for $50 and also gave the local committee the use of Manhattan Casino on Thursday evening, May 25, and Friday evening, May 26, free. In a letter to Lester A. Walton, executive secretary of the local committee, Mr. Waldron praises the movement to perpetuate the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in honor of its founder, and says: New York, April 3, 1916. Dear Mr. Walton: As I see the colored people are raising a Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund it gives me great pleasure to send you a check for $60 (fifty dollars) with my heart's wishes for this most worthy cause. I also hereby offer you my casino for Thursday, May 25, and Friday, May 26, free for the purpose of holding a ban or dance, as I want to help all I can. The movement to perpetuate the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in honor of Booker T. Washington is an undertaking deserving of the cordial support of every member of your race. I see that the white people have subscribed one million dollars already, and I am the colored people of New York and the country in general will subscribe most liberally to this fund, for I know the members of my race are deeply interested in the amount your race is going to raise. Wishing you and your people a grand success, am I? You're truly. (Signed) EDWARD WALDRON, Manager of Marathon Casino. The statement by Mr. Waldron that the white people are deeply concerned over the amount of money the colored people are going to raise in this campaign is full of truth and the members of the local committee have been fully convinced that the white people expect the colored people to do their part. Last Friday Major Moton talked with Col. Roosevelt, who is a trustee of Tuskegee, about the needs of the famous institution and the progress being made in the memorial fund campaign, and one of the questions asked by Col. Roosevelt was: "What part are the colored people of New York playing?" Sunday, April 16, promises to be a busy day in many of the Sunday Schools of Greater New York, on which occasion members of the fair sex connected with the Women's Committee will visit each Sunday School in Greater New York and appeal to the children to give a dime or more to the fund. No money will be collected, but the little folks will be told to save their pennies for Sunday, May 28, when Booker T. Washington Day will be observed in all the churches and Sunday Schools of Greater New York. A meeting of the Executive Committee was held last Saturday afternoon, when the feasibility of holding four big meetings was discussed and favorably acted upon. In the near future meetings in the interest of the fund will be held in Harlem, San Juan Hill and Long Acre Square districts, New York, and one meeting in Brooklyn. Dr E. P Roberts, treasurer, reports that interest in the campaign continues on the increase. TENTH CAVALRY PUTS VILLA NORCES TO, VILG VILLA FORCES TO FLIGHT Despatches from the Mexican border give the Tenth Cavalry credit for play-ing an active part in the pursuit of Gen. Villa and his band of Mexican outlaws. A despatch to the New York World dated April 4, from San Geronimo (via airplane to Colonia Dublan and by wireless to Columbia, N. M.), says: Two hundred American cavalrymen under Col. W. C. Brown, Tenth Cavalry, depicted an equal force of Villa followers in the second engagement of the campaign at Aguascalientes, thirty-niles north of Guerrero, on April 1. This report was brought to Gen. Pershing to-day by two Mexican ranchmen, who said that the Mexican forces lost thirty men and forty horses, while the Americans suffered no casualties. For hours the American cavalrymen had followed Manuel Lopez, one of Villa's lieutenants, and his bandits through winning canyons and almost passable trails of the mountains. Evidently believing that they had eluded their pursuers, the bandits relaxed their vigilance and before they realized it they were confronted by the troops of the Tenth Cavalry, Gen. Pershing's old regiment, which had been stationed near the town to intercept stray hands attempting to make their escape. The Tenth Cavalry is the army's crack Negro troop. It is participated with the Rough Riders in storming San Juan Hill and also gained distinction for fighting and scouting in the Philippines. Some of its troopers figured with the Seventh Cavalry in the first fight with Villa's forces at Guerrero. PRICE FIVE CENTS LENOX AVENUE AND ITS TRADE Large Number of Business Enterprises Conducted On Nine Blocks By All Races. NEGROES HAVE FEW PLACES Find It Difficult to Rent Desirable Locations Because Other Races Syndicate Interests and Rent Property. Except in the Saloons and Wine Shops the Greatest Number of Negroes Are Employed, by German Business Men— Negro Merchants Form 23 Per Cent Of These Conducting Businesses—Get Only 10 Per Cent of Trade. Judging by the number of stores and other businesses operated on Lenox avenue from 131st to 140th streets, that is the most popular thoroughfare in Harlem. There are 145 places of business on the nine blocks, of which only 23 per cent. are conducted, by Negroes. Twenty-eight stores are operated by American, West Indian and Cuban Negroes, while 117 stores are operated by Russians, Chinese, Jews, Germans, Greeks, Italians, Irish and Bohemian, with less than a half dozen Americans. QKS, reason advanced for the shrub number of Negroes and Americans, a that means of other races in a number of syndicate their interests and secure leaseholds on desirable properties for business purposes, and these leases are given only to members of the particular race represented in the syndicate. Sometimes it is an individual who secures control of the property and he sublets it to members of his race, not only giving them an opportunity for business promotion but also netting a nice profit for himself. It is declared also that a syndicate securing control of a piece of property will prorate the expense of carrying it in proportion to the number of tenants, the minimum cost falling on the individuals only when the entire property is occupied. That there may be foundation for this statement is shown in the fact that in many of the properties the store quarters, on the contrary, are all rented to Negro tenants. Few of the white proprietors of business reside in the district, a careful estimate showing not more than twenty-five, which is less than one in four. Hard to Rent Stores On the other hand, the Negro business men, with only one exception, reside in the district. The one exception is a restaurant proprietor referred to in a previous article, who lived in the district when he purchased a suburban home. In some instances, white proprietors refused to tell their home address, not giving any reason for the refusal. Certain it is that most of them live in districts from which Negro tenants are restricted. Difficulty in securing suitable quarters for business enterprises has prevented, in some cases, Negro promoters from opening business ventures. But notwithstanding this prejudiced condition racial business enterprises are increasing. Represented in the Lenox avenue district are drug stores, photographers, tailors, real estate agencies, employment agencies, butcher shops, barber shops, restaurants, hair-dressing parlors, cigar stores, grocers, saloon keepers, poultry market, sign painter, printing shop, and a race magazine has its office of publication in this district. These enterprises give employment to approximately ninety-six persons—eighty-four men and twelve women. Seven of the women are employed as hair dressers, while the others are clerks in a real estate office, employment agency and grocery store. Colored saloon keepers in this district have not been able to secure places centrally located, the principal corners unr to 138th street being occupied by men of other races. Six Germans, four Jews and two Irishmen conduct saloons in this district. Seventy-six Negroes are employed in stores conducted by white men, forty-seven being employed in wine shops and saloons. Laundries employ one woman and one man, one Spanish is employed as a cigar maker, and two men are employed as butchers. Seven men are given employment in grocery and fruit stores, four are employed as porters in drug stores, and two find employment in clothing stores. In shoe-shining marlors run by Greeks four Negroes work, while one is employed by an Italian at the same kind of work. Two are employed in a grocery store and four work in delicatessen stores. Tinker and Amy Dorsey and two young gentlemen, Shelton and H. Dorsey, took up the collection. Amount raised, $48. With the Thursday night entertainment included, $69. Patterson and Bergard Crampton of Scranton, and Elwood Smith of Wilkes-Barre, have launched out in a handsome new auto car, known If your hair is short, thin, falling out or breaking off, you should not delay but write at once for apart April 22 as "Tag Day." He will station women at stipulated corners in various parts of the city to solicit funds for the church. Each donor will receive a "tag pin." In this way he hopes to raise a goodly sum of money with which to reduce the church debt. Lenox Avenue Clearing Shop. It is worth noting in passing that Germans lead in employing employment to Negroes, excusing aloons and wine shops. In liquor stores, Jews employ thirty- six Negroes against eleven employed by six Germans, and one Irishman. But in other lanes of business German proprietors employ ten Negroes, Jewish proprietors employ eight, Greeks employ five, Russian two, Bohemians two, and one other an proprietor employs one Negro. Because of the fact that Lenox avenue is a clearing house for race acquaintances, there are constantly present in that district a large number of Negroes who are not residents. But they form a large part of the spending element. Hardly one per cent. of the money spent in this district comes from white spenders. The white resident of the district is a negligible quantity, the few storekeepers who reside in the district being practically the only residents in the area being considered. But the patronage given the Negro merchant is not in proportion to the number of men engaged in business. Only 23 per cent. of the business places are considered by Negroes, but the actual volume of trade handled is less than 15 per cent. Thus applies to practically all the businesses except the barber shop, the businesses the photographers, the bank keepers and restaurants probably come next in the scale, but not to the extent that their stock, service and equipment would entitle them. The few businesses being operated receive far less than their proportionate share of the trade, and if the race trade were given more largely to race merchants there would be a greater number of Negro businesses. The next article in this series will be in the nature of a resume of conditions in the four districts treated, with some consideration of the work being done by the business men and women to create a higher degree of racial loyalty to race business men and women PHILADELPHIA, PA. Philadelphia, Pa.—Five hundred people met on Tuesday evening at Bethel A. M. E.

A PROPHECY THAT DOES NOT RING TRUE The Aca has received a communication signed "Mysterious Strugger," postmarked Kansas City, Mo., the writer of which appears to be somewhat illuminated as to the object of the Boulder T. Washington Memorial movement and propounds some questions that have no bearing on the subject. But the startling part of the letter is contained in the following prediction of "the greatest crisis that ever confronted the blacks in the history of the world. It follows: "Between 1916 and April, 1918, the whites of the world are going to repeat the inquisition and the same acts that they acted at the time of the Black Death." After referring to Rev. xx, 9, the writer gives the reassurance "that it is the Lord who is bringing this preciate to its fulfillment in order that the masses may come into their own national independence." But further along the prophet says: "Between now and 1918, the whites of the United States are going to begin the massacre of blacks like the Turks did the Armenians, who are blacks." As to the Armenians being blacks the prophet is at variance with the leading authorities on anthropology, who class them among the descendants of Japheth. So, despite the aseverestions that the prophet has been "trying to serve the Lord for seven years" and that he knows the above is true, full faith and credit cannot be fully given to his fulminations. In fact one is strongly inclined to number him among the tribe of the false prophets or at least to question the equilibrium of his mental balance. A MESSAGE IN VERSE. Another message to the Negro, of which the crop is never failing, has appeared in the form of "Poems by the Century Poet—Acclamations for declamation, copyright by Black Sampson, the great United States missionary poet." The argument of the production is "Debate between Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, and Wm. Monroe Trotter, spokesman for the Equal Rights League, on the agitation of a Democratic administration. The verses are styled sonnets and the composer has rigidly restricted his flights to fourteen lines, so as to be technically within the requirements of this form of versification. Mr. Sampson's originality, however, could not be confined by any metrical bounds, as indicated by the final lines: "The Negro has fought in the world's great wars, And to-day I say the Negro must blend to the Negro's cause." PARAGRAPHS. The first American soldier to lose his life in the Villa expedition was George A. Hudnell, of Troop B, 10th Cavalry, of Colonel Dodd's advance force. This is not the first instance of the kind. A veteran sergeant of the Twenty-fourth infantry thus describes the part of Mexico in which his regiment now is: "I have been in nearly every land. But in this part of Mexico there are more rivers and less water; more cows and less milk; farther to look and less to see, than in any country I have ever known." VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W.

He was taken before the court, who, after hearing the case, ordered him to salute the flag. Susping sent by G. H. Edmunds gives an appeal. It appears that both parents of the boy and upheld him in his position. It is said that the boy belong to a "sanctified" Holy Church; and the mother is reported to have told Hubert not to salute the flag, everything except the statements made by him two reasons were the ones given by him, won't salute the flag at school for I do not.

We are the full weight and significance of his wives, conscientious scruples, and not mere vagaries. We read the reasons stated above and we would be stronger, single and alone, coupled together. In fact, coupled together, the first place, Hubert declines to salute the God in it"; and in the second place, for placing him in a country against white feelings. If it is God's fault that he feels this to be, we do not see how flag any easier for him even if it did "have" men were made a solemn religious ceremony, as second reason. I would make him feel does against the country. People make the mistake of supposing we classified either as right or wrong. This is a class of acts which, in themselves, And, strange to say, it is over this fiercest human conflicts have been waged only there is no difference of opinion as to telling being right and thieving and lying will differ seriously over the right or wrong a circus; and wars have been fought in civil.

It all belongs to the white man, be more rational than the first, if it were not. Three hundred years of labor are belong to the Negroes as much as it be good deal more than it belongs to man. Of course, we have been wronged, many of our rights are still denied us, but going to renounce his rights because are opposed to his having them. No right until his every right is recognized by us down and say, "I haven't any country, man," he would not deserve a country seems to feel that the country is all wrong it; Hubert is mistaken. Although many of the people in this country are wrong, the Country is right, and is always man spirit of righteousness that gave birth, sooner or later, in spite of opposition. For two centuries there were new American flag who were in favor of his country accept it, but at last the spirit swept the land like a flame, and slavery other wrong against the Negro will to Hubert that if God is anywhere, he size that in beginning we assumed more than his slight shoulders should be be doubted that the attitude which he the teachings of the "Sanctified Holy One," correspondent we say that we think Hart was right in ordering Hubert to go himself in accordance with the rules. The case referred to in the above letter has attracted some attention. Hubert Eaves, a colored boy eleven years old, refused to salute the American flag in accordance with the rules of the public schools of Des Moines. He was taken before the judge of the Juvenile Court, who, after hearing the case, ordered the boy to go back to school and salute the flag. The clipping sent by G. H. Edmunds gives an extended account of the hearing. It appears that both parents of the boy were present in court and upheld him in his position. It also appears that the parents and the boy belong to a "sanctified" sect known as the Sanctified Holy Church; and the mother is reported as saying that the Holy Ghost told Hubert not to salute the flag. However, we pass over everything except the statements made by Hubert himself. The following two reasons were the ones given by him: "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 doesn't want us." Now, we shall take Hubert seriously. We shall assume that he knows the full weight and significance of his words; that he is actuated by conscientious scruples, and not merely led away by religious vagaries. Carefully read the reasons stated above and we cannot but see that either one would be stronger, single and alone, than are the two of them coupled together. In fact, coupled together, they are contradictory. In the first place, Hubert declines to salute the flag because "it doesn't have God in it"; and in the second place, he inadvertently blames God for placing him in a country against which he (Hubert) has such bitter feelings. If it is God's fault that Hubert is in such a country as he feels this to be, we do not see how it would make saluting the flag any easier for him even if it did "have God in it" and the salutation were made a solemn religious ceremony. It would seem that his second reason would make him feel as bitter against the does against the country. Many people make the mistake of supposing that every human act must be classified either as right or wrong. They do not realize that there is a class of acts which, in themselves, are neither right nor wrong. And, strange to say, it is over this neuter class that many of the fiercest human conflicts have been waged. In the whole human family there is no difference of opinion as to honest dealing and truth telling being right and thieving and lying being wrong. But people will differ seriously over the right or wrong involved in going to see a circus; and wars have been fought to settle questions equally as trivial. If it may be said that there is nothing of right in the mere act of saluting the flag of one's native land, it can be said with equal certainty that there is nothing wrong in it. Hubert, in his second reason for not saluting the flag says, "I haven't any country. It all belongs to the white man." This statement would be more rational than the first, if it were true. But is it true? It is not. Three hundred years of labor and loyalty makes this country belong to the Negroes as much as it belongs to anybody else; and a good deal more than it belongs to many who are living under its flag. Of course, we have been wronged, we are still being wronged, many of our rights are still denied us, but the American Negro is not going to renounce his rights because some people in the country are opposed to his having them. No, he is going to work and fight until his every right is recognized and accorded. If he should lie down and say, "I haven't any country. It all belongs to the white man," he would not deserve a country. Hubert seems to feel that the country is all wrong; that God is no where in it; Hubert is mistaken. Although many, sometimes a majority, of the people in this country are wrong, yet that abstract thing we call the Country is right, and is always making for the right. It was the spirit of righteousness that gave birth to this country, and that spirit, sooner or later, in spite of opposition, always makes its power felt. For two centuries there were neough people living under the American flag who were in favor of human bondage to make the country accept it, but at last the spirit of righteousness arose and swept the land like a flame, and slavery was destroyed. Finally, every other wrong against the Negro will be righted. We say to Hubert that if God is anywhere, he is in the flag. We realize that in beginning we assumed more for this eleven-year-old boy than his slight shoulders should be made to bear. It is hardly to be doubted that the attitude which he has assumed is due more to the teachings of the "Sanctified Holy Church" than to anything, else. To our correspondent we say that we think the judge of the Juvenile Court was right in ordering Hubert to go back to school and conduct himself in accordance with the rules.

For girls to play golf, tennis and other games that rightfully are men's sports is outrageous." We make no pretense of being the authority on women's clothes that Mrs. Barr is. She, at least, has a great advantage historically, for we cannot go back seventy-five years. However, we are old enough to recall the great bustles of a few decades ago, and we have looked at prints depicting the ladies in the enormous hoop skirts and various other styles of by-gone generations. So if we had to make a choice between the things women wore in the days gone by and what we now see on Fifth avenue and Broadway, we should cast an unscratched ballot for the women of to-day. Mrs. Barr, in scorning athletics for girls, shows that she is far from being a suffragist. Statistics of the graduating class at Princeton University for this year disclose some queer facts. Perhaps the queerest is that out of the 230 seniors, 43 of them own up to never having kissed a girl. It is difficult to decide which is queerer, for a young man never to have kissed a girl or owning up to the fact. Forty of the men are sticklers for the principle that it is morally wrong to kiss a girl. We are afraid there is something wrong with Princeton. The German submarine policy has had more than a general interest for the writer. It has been more than a question of international law and more than a cause for common human sympathy; it has touched him in a personal way. About a year ago, at the dinner of the American Society of Authors and Composers, I sat at the side of Charles Klein, the dramatist, the author of "The Lion and the Mouse," and other well known plays. Most of my conversation during the evening was with him. A few weeks later he went down in the Louisiana. I had the privilege of a warm acquaintance with Senior Granadon, the eminent Spanish composer, for whose opera I did the English version. Just before he smiled for home, I did the English words for a group of new songs by him. Word has come that he was lost in the Sussex which was torpedoed a few days ago in the English channel. --- A MONUMENT THAT WILL LIVE Proud of being a Negro, having confidence in his race, urging at all times equal opportunity and opening up opportunities for them, were some of the strong points of the late Booker T. Washington. The race now has the opportunity to show its appreciation of him by contributing to the Endowment Fund which is being raised to his memory. Dr. Washington never charged for his services no matter to what part of the course was called to speak. He always considered it a duty and a pleasure to be of service to his people. When he secured a library for a school or church, he was glad. Baptists, Methodists and all other denominations and organizations of whatever kind, had his co-operation and support. He never tired of doing service and giving of his substance. Now that he is gone, it is up to us to revere and help perpetuate his memory. This money will not be used to erect an imposing but non-productive marble monument, but to help make Tuskegee Institute of permanent and lasting service to the race. Every one who reads these lines can give toward that purpose, and every one should feel it a privilege to give, however small the contribution. Fifteen thousand dollars is not a great sum to be raised among 150,000 people. Let us all help to raise this money, and let us begin now. Do not let it be said that we are untrue to the memory of Booker T. Washington. That lunch to which Roosevelt and Root sat down together was a love feast which makes the whole country sit up and take notice. A despatch from Mexico giving an account of the encounter between the American troopers and the Villa bandits says, "Villa was not present." Where was Villa? Off on some hillside watching the fight? At any rate, it seems that he is wholly deficient in military etiquette. In the statements given out by the War Department we see frequent mention of the Seventh cavalry and very little about the Tenth, which is also a part of the advance guard. However, we know from past performances that the Tenth will be in early on anything that goes on. WHAT THE PEOPLE - SAY CAN DIE, IF NOT LIVE, TOGETHER To the Editor of The New York Age: Please find herewith $1.50 for paper for year 1916. I like your upper very much. I am glad to know that the Tenth Cavalry who are fighting, or about to fight in Mexico, grappled to die with their white brothers, while they died so much trouble to live with them. BUTLER BAKER Harmarket, Va. THE OLD PHIL- To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE. The following, is to our young people. To know what our race are doing you must read the Negro papa. Its influence among us is powerful, and as a disseminator of intelligence, and as a national educator, it cannot be displaced, and it must become a household necessity. Yes, the reading of the Negro papers must become a fixity in our homes. The white papers have little interest in us as a race. If you will not become a subscriber to the news stand and go to a week. It is certain you will find something to inquire you if you have a spark of race pride flowing and burning in your veins. How are you to know our achievements along all lines? The fellow who is indifferent certainly must lack race pride. Don't be indifferent—indifference is a curse and accomplishes nothing. To know what others of our race are doing and striving to do will stimulate you to push forward and do too of possible. Many of our young people waste too much precious time in frivolous amusements. There is nothing to gain by it. Some have a good education, but are making poor use of it. Life is more than what some call having a good time, playing cards, pool and drinking beer. Too much precious time is wasted in these pastimes. They do not stimulate enterprise and teach you to rise to higher planes, and fit you for the endeavors of this world of strenuous activity and relentless competition. Read our papers and see what others are doing, and try to emulate their example. Now, while you are young and strong, is the time to learn the stern realities of life. Reading our papers will largely help you in gaining strength of character and pave the way to better your condition. Ever remember this: You cannot keep up with the spirit of the age, and the doings of our people, if you do not read our papers. REV. H. B. DACOSTER. Jacksonville, Fla. SOLDIERS, SAILORS, NEGROES NOT WANTED BY COLLIER'S WEEKLY. To the Editor of The New York Age: I was brought to the office of the colored subscriber, and the record that Collier's has placed itself on record as not wanting colored subscribers. The following statement contains the essential facts. For each 6th I was employed by the Collier manager at Omma to solicit for Collier's Weekly. A few days later in auditor, from New York arrived to make the annual check up and, happening to see me turning in subscriptions, ordered the chapels to be unchanged for the account that Collier's nor neither colored solicitors nor colored subscribers. All my orders were at once held up and I was informed my services were no longer wanted and the reason why. I was about, being discharged, but felt that I should ascertain the truth of the auditor's statement and if so publish the same to the people of my race in America. I wrote Collier and recorded the which upheld and recorded the. The essential paragraph of the letter reads: "The attached card gives you a list of occupations; people engaged in said occupations we do not care to do business with; while hundreds of the people on engaged in said occupations are honest, however our records who do business with them are inundated in said occupations, it is at a loss." The card referred to enumerates waiters, barbers, bell boys, porters, boothackers, laborers, etc., as undesirables, and under division 11 states specifically that "soldiers, sailors, Negroes, etc.," are not wanted. F. H. Piece, the writer, also took paints to a cross beside the word "Negroes." These are the facts in the case and I believe that the intelligent colored people of the United States who are subscribers to Collier's will resent this discrimination in the proper manner. Local managers have often overlooked colored subscribers because they want to uphold their position, but the true attitude of the main office is proven in the above.

In the course of his address on "Obedience to Law," Col. Jacob Gammon, one of the most prominent lawyers of the leading law firm in Guvennah, Gammon paid the keynote to the Killen College of the Geor- gian State College. "If there is any man who is entitled to a prominent niche in the eternal halls of fame it is Professor Wright. I know that you all appreciated him. I know the application in which he lives application him. He is doing that a man's work out here in this place which should be regarded as a sacred spot. He is doing a work which is building for the future. The institution is doing a greater work of larger benefit than the founders of this institution ever dreamed would it be told." He took the strongest ground possible against lynching. DOINGS OR THE RACE DOINGS OF THE RACE. Jacksonville, Fla., is soon to have a civic league. The organization was effected at the mass meeting which was held in Castle Hall, at the university of Gen. W. H. Winkle, College and General Lee Blocker and others.

THE NEW YORK AGE, BEERBOHM TREE In connection with the vaudeville bill at the Lafayette Theatre last Sunday night, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree made an address to the audience concerning the Tercentenary Shakespear an exhibition, which is being held throughout the world and in which Negro players will participate by presenting "Othello." The performances will be given by a company of players headed by Edward Sterling Wright under the management of R. Voeckel for many years manager of the Black Patti Company. Sir Herbert was accompanied by a distinguished party, including his daughter, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the English Ambassador, Mr and Mrs, Frank Wiborg, F. Curliffe-Owen, Prince Lieven of Russia, and many of the executives of the Shakespeare centenary Committee. The box occupied by the party was draped with the British and American flags and illuminated with a cluster of red, white and blue lights. When introduced to the audience by the manager of the Lafayette, Mr. Tree said he was happy to be there, and continued: "We are all of us celebrating the tencentary of him who was probably the greatest man that ever wrote or spoke our common language: All the people of every clime, complexion, and degree are taking part in these celebrations, and it would be. I am sure, a pride to Shakespeare himself to know that his works are being played by your people. Truly, an imaginative touch occurs in 'Julius Caesar' when, Brutus and Cassius and the rest of the conspirators have killed Caesar. Cassius stops the harrangue and tumult to give utterance to this intellectual parenthesis: How many times shall this our lofty scene be acted 'Oer in States unborn and accents yet unknown. "Only Shakespeare could have thought of this; and here is Shakespeare himself being 'acted oer' by all the races of the globe." Mr. Tree then discussed the character of Othello, whom he characterized as the greatest gentleman Shakespeare ever drew—"not only a gentleman, but a gentle man," he said. Mr. Wright, who is a dramatic lecturer for the Board of Education of New York City, had intended presenting an act from "Othello" in costume, but the Sunday law made that impossible, so appealed his street clothes and recited accusations of accusing a splendid rendition of Brabanto's doddering quavers, the magisterial voice of the duke, and Othello's eloquence. Sir Herbert, when Mr. Wright had concluded, said that Mr. Wright's ability was beyond his power to criticize and he had only praise for his work. The, orchestra played the British national hymn when Sir Herbert's party entered the theatre. The audience, which was the most prominent, this proposed of were entertainers, people, Harlem, they deemed a program of vaudeville acts that, with one exception, were credit to the race. This one exception was the act of Dink Stewart, a black face comedian, who was hissed and jeered off the stage. He was given the worst reception ever given an actor on the Lafayette stage. To say that his act was coarse and vulgar is putting it mildly. His jokes were coarse and repulsive and many a spectator wished he or she could have hid under the seat. There is no doubt that Dink Stewart has ability as an entertainer. It is to be deplored that he relies on vulgarity when the same amount of energy and humor is pended in light direction would be better results. Those who hissed him last Sunday night would be Blessed to applaud Dink Stewart in a clever and clean act. That demonstration ought to be a lesson to him and the rest of the actors on the colored stage who persist in presenting objectionable acts for the plaudits of a very few. All the guests, including Mr. Tree, heard the numbers rendered by Abbie Mitchell, the Thompson, Cooper and Thompson Trio, Moss and Frey, Pinky and Brown and the Comedy Four. The singing of Abbie Mitchell who seemed at her best was greatly appreciated. She received several encores. DRIVE THE VULGAR ACTORS FROM THE STAGE To the Editor of the New York Age: A large audience, most of them Afro-Americans, filled the Lafayette Theatre last night, to see and hear what Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, the great English actor, wow 'say about Shakespeare. In this audience were men and women of all walks of life; the entire audience was quiet, attentive, and in every sense, bore that dignity which the occasion of such a distinguished visitor deserved. The first performer was a man (colored, I am sorry to say), who under the name of "Dink Stewart," with a most ridiculous costume and with his face blackened, evidence that he blubbered if he is considered funny and amusing. This man, who has evidently spent all of his time learning the most vulgar jokes, had the audacity to poke cheap, low and mean dirty insinuations at the people who have made it possible for him to appear on the stage. The audience hissed this idiot from the stage and it-is to be hoped that the colored people will drive all his kind off the stage, and compel them to make a living where they have talent to do so, for their place is not the stage. It is about time that the colored actors learn something besides a few cheap jokes in which they attempt to ridicule the women of our race; it is useless to cry about injustice of other races, when our own stage folks make this sane kind of fun their stock and trade. We need to learn that the so-called and would-be actors and actresses find that their ability will not lift them higher than this man's (Dinky Stewart's) has, then they must find other ways of making a living. We might add for the benefit of this man and others like him, that our women and their children are just as respectable, courteous and conduct themselves in public just as dignifiedly as the women of any other race. . DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS laugh lorged ahead with ease, with joy could make him feel as bitter It is inspiring to see that our people no longer tolerate ridicule from those of our race performing on the stage and whom we give a chance to make a living. It was most gratifying to all present, to see those who would make us appear ridiculous, publicly condemned. We must not stop there, but drive every one of them off in the future attempts to entertain our people by ridiculing our women. AT THE LAFAYETTE AT THE LATAYETTE Theatre this week large crowds are packing the theatre at each performance "Paid in the audience" and the location of the audience is decidedly shown by the applause throughout the entire four acts. As the weeks pass the cast works together better and better. Chas, S. Gipin assisted by Lillian V. Wood, Lawrence E. Chenault, J. Frances Mores, Miss Cleo Desmond, Mrs. Chas, H. Anderson and Andrew Bishop compris the cast. The attraction next week will be "Under Cover," which had a long and successful run at the Theatre.

BASKETBALL BY WILL ANTHONY MADDEN. Sond all matters direct to 269 West 4th Street, New York City, and have same in our hands by Monday night of each week in order to assure its appearance in the current issue. The game between Lincoln University and the New Jersey All-Stars played in Newark last Sunday night was a one-sided, uninteresting game with the Lincoln's winning by the big score of 51 to 23. The advertised "Masked Marvel" turned out to be our good friend Bob Otie of the Imperial A. C. He was masked all right, but the marvel part we failed to see. Furthermore, even the mask didn't stay on more than a couple of minutes. The Jersey boys started with a rush and scored about five points before Lincoln got going. However, from this point the University lads settled down and forged ahead with ease, with the man that his second team did not mourn that the first team did. Of 27 to 13 in Lincoln's favor. The second half was exactly the same as the first as far as margin of point was concerned, because in both halves Lincoln won by fourteen points, the count in the second session being 24 to 10, which made a total of 51 to 23. Lincoln outclassed the All Stars from every angle of the game, and at no time was the Pennsylvania team in danger of defeat. The Young brothers, as always, were the stars for Lincoln and played an aggressive game all through. All of Lincoln played well, but it is around these two famous brothers that the team is built. The Jersey team showed nothing except a few spectacular starts. Outside of this there was nothing to the team. Lincoln is playing better basketball now than they have ever played. In last week's issue I mentioned that the Spartans had defeated the Vandals in Atlantic City by one point, but I find that I was misinformed by one of my out-of-town agents. Therefore, I wish to correct the statement and state that the Vandals were the victors after a very fast and hard game. To-night "Alpha Big 5" will clash with the Spartans in a return game. The game no doubt will be hard and possibly rough. For a test of physical strength Alpha will have her hands full, but for brains and scientific knowledge of the game "Big 5" ought to win easily. The St. Douglass Five of Orange is a newly organized team that is making great strides in the game. The team is composed of high school and prep school students and is managed by J. M. Burrell, sporting editor of the Eastern Observer. So far this season St. Douglass has defeated some of the strongest teams in the Jersey section their most formidable oppressor in their A. C. The Incorporators may meet them this season, but nothing definite has been decided as yet. Next week a detailed account of the Alpha-Spartan game will appear. Also a general summary of fifth 1915-16 season, together with my All American and All New York teams. Read THE NEW YORK AGE.

Morehouse Wins from State Normal, ATLANTA, Ga.-Morehouse met the strong State Normal aggregation from New York, Tenn., and an interesting game we play. Nance pitched for the Maroons and held out for mercy for six innings. State Normal scored five runs, in the seventh, making the score 9 to 7 in favor of the home team. In a heavy hitting contest the Morehouse Tigers defeated Clark University by the score of 13 to 7. Goodloe started the pitching for Morehouse, but was a little wild and was replaced by Kennedy. Clark was in the lead when the veteran was called in. He held the visitors safe while his team mates batted out the victory. Wynn did some great catching and was busy with the stick, getting a two-hagger and a home run. Downward played a brilliant game at third. He made three safe hits. Bridges had the Morehouse team baffled for a while. Batteries—Bridges and Moore; Goodloe, Kennedy, Tompkins and Wynn. Umpire, Shaw. Rust 3: M. J. College, 3. In the first game of the season the varsity teams of M. I. and Rust College met Friday, March 31, in one of the most thrilling, and hard fought contests over seen, on Rust Campus. The teams were evenly matched and the game from the start developed into a pitcher's battle between Hebrew Allen of M. I. and Plass White of Rust. White had the shade, striking out every man on the team except one, and breaking the local record for strike-outs during fifteen. No declines reached and after nine innings of battling, the game ended 3 to 3. The tie will be played off April 21. Three games are scheduled this week.
