The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOME. :: :: VOL. XXIX No. 30 JUDGE GRANTS AN INJUNCTION Federal District Court Stops Enforcement of St. Louis Segregation. JUDGE DYER GIVES DECISION Declares that Negro Is Entitled to Certain Rights and Consideration and He Should Have Them. Granting of Injunction Is Hailed with Satisfaction by St. Louisans—Fight Made by Negro Citizens, Who are Determined to Defeat Enforcement of the Vicious Ordinances. (Special to The New York Agc.) St. Louis, Mo.—"The Negro is entitled to the same consideration and the same rights as is a white man. The Negro doesn't want social equality. He wants the same rights before the law as the white man, and he should have them." These words were spoken by Judge Dyer in the Federal District Court here on Monday when he granted an injunction restraining the city from enforcing the segregation law passed by a majority vote of the people last month. The injunction was applied for by the Negro citizens, who have raised a fund to fight the ordinance. Two ordinances were voted on, one prohibiting whites or blacks from living in a block in which 75 per cent. of the houses are occupied by the opposite race, while the other, with similar provisions, places the percentage at 100 instead of 75. Present residents are not affected by either ordinance. nor does it prevent persons who already own houses in restricted districts from occupying them, even though they are not living in them at this time. First Attempt Failed. The question of segregating colored people in St. Louis was started some five years ago by certain elements among the real estate dealers. Ample funds were provided and sentiment was crystallized favoring the project. The City Council was called on to pass an ordinance segregating Negroes, but the attempt failed. An organization was finally formed, known as the United Welfare Association, and this body circulated petitions calling for an election. The result of this campaign was shown when the vicious ordinances were carried by a popular vote of $2,000 to 17,000. One conspicuous fact to be noted was that a large majority of the whites voting for the ordinances were not property owners, while, on the contrary, the Negroes were of the property-owning class. Nowhere in the country do Negroes own and live in finer homes than in St. Louis. There has never been any restriction as to purchasing property relations with white neighbors have always been of the pleasantest. Notwithstanding the large vote given the segregated ordinances, the sentiment of the city believed to be in favor of segregation. The decision of Judge Dyer, granting an injunction against the enforcement of these vicious acts, is hailed with satisfaction, especially by the Negroes of St. Louis. It was never believed that the acts would stand the acid test of the law and this belief now approaches concession. The act taken by the United States Supreme Court in the case of the Louisiana Ky. segregation law, which was ordered back on the docket for courtroom before a full court, adds to the belief that these laws will not be. The Louisville case, argued law by the seven Supreme Court justices, being conidered as a test case for similar laws recently enacted in Ind. Va., and Baltimore, Md., as well as in Lousville and St. Louis (Continued to THE NEW YORK ACE.) Washington, D. C.—The Louisville, which last week before the United Court, with seven justices, Monday of this week, court the case was put at for reargument be- Chief Justice White for the step, but it is the court is so evenly the question that it is necessary for the full court to consider the question. The New York Age MARIE LUCAS AND HER FAMOUS ORCHESTRA AT LAFAYETT: THEATRE INSURANCE SWINDLER SENT TO WORKHOUSE Thirty days in the workhouse for violation of the insurance laws of New York State was the penalty given William David Jackson, alias Johnson, formerly of Jersey City, N. J., on April 13 in the Court of Special Sessions, Brooklyn. Jackson, whose present address was given as 234 West 60th street, represented himself to be "Supreme Eminent Commander" of the "Silver Star Benvolent Society of New Jersey," an organization chartered under the laws of New Jersey, but attiring said Jackson, rich pickings among the poor people of New York and Brooklyn, who were mulcted of premiums at the rate of $2 for initiation fee and $1.08 a month for dues, in return for which they received glittering promises of $0 a week benefit when sick. Complaint in this case was made by Mrs. Mary Alexander, 35A Lexington avenue, Brooklyn, who became a member of the "Silver Star" in June, 1915, paying the $2 initiation fee and $1.08 a month regularly from that time until February, 1916, when she became sick. After a month's illness she applied for benefits amounting to $19, but the "Supreme Eminent Commander" failed to write her claim. Then Mrs. Alexander took Jackson to court. The "Supreme Eminent Commander" pleaded with the court that he had no intention of defrauding his clients, but that he was unable to pay benefits because of bad business. His wife, who is employed in domestic service at 1865 Last-18th street, corroborates this statement by declaring that she had often urged her husband to give up this business, as he did not earn enough to support her. Jackson claimed that if given a chance he could transfer all his members to another organization, and he also claimed that many members would claim benefits not belonging to them. The court did not see the matter in that light, and so Jackson will spend thirty days in the workhouse. Preying on the Poor. In speaking of this case Herman Simon, probation officer, 171 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, said that many cases similar to this have been brought to his attention, but that it has been difficult to apprehend the men conducting these irresponsible societies because they keep out of the jurisdiction of the officers. The lax laws of New Jersey enable so-called "benevolent societies" to obtain charters, and they are not under jurisdiction of the New Jersey insurance department because they are not supposed to be conducted for profit. As a matter of fact, said Mr. Simon, they are really "one man" affairs. The promoter collects all he can in a neighborhood before the pressure of claims forces him to stop and then the policyholders lose all they have paid in. The records of these societies are kept in New Jersey and New York officials are not to then, so conviction is difficult unless the operator can be apprehended while in the jurisdiction of this State's offices of the operation of this particular class of swindlers is confined to the poor, who, by reason of their circumstances, are not qualified to exercise discretion in the choice of their insurance. It has been impossible to ascertain the extent of their operations, but it is very extensive. Most of them are under "one man" control, and this man is usually the solicitor and agent and he pockets all the money paid in by the poor people, who receive no protection whatever. W. David Jacksqt, alias Johnsthn, formerly lived at 82 Montgomery street Jersey City, N. J. S. C. CONFERENCES FOR (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) MANNING, S. C. - Delegates from South Carolina to the A.

This will be the centennial session of the conference and other prominent men to be considered are Caldwell of Tennessee, Fountain of Georgia, Hill of Arkansas and Felder of Mississippi. CRUISER CHESTER BACK FROM LIBERIA TEN MONTHS ON AFRICAN TRIP Commander Schofield Says that War Has Caused Inconvenience to Liberia Through Interruption of Her Supplies — Secretary of Logation Bundy Returns on Ship. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) Boston, Mass.—Sent to the West Coast of Africa for the purpose of giving support to the government of the Republic of Liberia, the United States scout cruiser Chester returned to this country, docking at the Boston Navy Yard on Tuesday, April 11, after ten months' absence. On board the vessel as passengers were Ride Bundy, secretary of the United States location and charge daffairs at Monrovia, Liberia, who is on six months' leave, has first in our years, and Mrs. Bundy. They made the trip on the Chester direct from Monrovia, leaving there March 24, the cruiser touching at Porto Grande, Cape Verde islands, on March 28. The ship steamed into Boston harbor with a 360-foot homeward bound pennant streaming from her main top, but her rusty sides and a liberal strip of plating showing below her normal waterline were encrusted with barnacles and green with marine growth. The cruiser was in command of Commander Frank H. Schofield, and he has given some interesting statements concerning the mission of the Chester and incidents of the trip. En route to Africa the Chester touched at Barcelona, Spain, thence to Alexandria, Egypt, and to Jaffa and Reirut, Syria. Hundreds of refuges were rescued at Jaffa and Reirut from the Turks by the Chester and taken to the Island of Crete and to Alexandria. The cruiser touched at Omairar and stopped at Funchal, Madrina Islands, for nine days. From here the vessel proceeded to Monrovia, only touching at Dakar, Senegal, en route The Purpose of the Cruise. As to the purpose of the ship's cruise Commander Schofield said: I should say it was to give moral support to the Liberian Government, which was engaged in a tribal war on the part of the Kru Coast. The men of this section are the sailors of Liberia, doing most of the soaring work on the west coast of Africa. We were there the town of Simu was blocked by the tribesmen, who had cut off supplies by land and sea from America-Liberia through controlling the bar of the river through which they were received. We arranged parachute parachutes, but they did not need to pause. Ultimately the Government got together and armed a force of 500 men, with which it captured and bombed the Kru town and swept the coast of the rebels from Sanu south. According to sailors on the Chester—but this was not officially stated—the call at Maderna was productive of an incident that in its entirely added much to the strength of the moral support given the Liberian Government by Uncle Sam. The sailors stated that at lunch the cruiser met the United States collier Sterling and received from her 500 Krug-lorsegen rulers and 25,000 pounds of ammunition, which ultimately got into the hands of the Government forces of Liberia. The only forces possessed by the Liberian Government up to that time were a few German rulers, for which there was no ammunition at hand. The President is Level-Headed. "I thank President William D. Howard of Tulsa a short level-headed man," said Commander Schouller. "He is a descendant of American Negroes and has some education. He is elected for four years and has a Legislature consisting of eight Senators and 13 Representatives. The country has about 12,000 inhabitants in America-Liberia, and about 40,000 civilized Negroes, and about 2,000,000 native population. "There are about 1000 tribes of bushmen, each having known King and own dialect, and the Governments task of keeping peace with them is not an easy one." Commander Schmidt stated that Liberia has felt some inconvenience from the European war through interruption of her supplies. The trade of the country was 80 per cent in the hands of Germans before the war. The German traders are there yet, but they are getting only a little in the way of supplies, chiefly from the United States. The Germans which formerly plied regularly from Germania came no more, and the occasional British steamships stop only at one or two ports where they formerly stopped at them. Mrs. Bundy was the only woman on the cruiser, and she seemed to enjoy the novelty of her posita. She expressed herself as being glad to get back to the United States, but elicited with emphasis, "I want you to disay that Liberia isn't as black it isainted." Mr. and Mrs. Bundy will send their holiday principally in Cleveland, Ohio, their home. BEHIND FAIR PLAY The Birmingham "Age-Herald," the leading newspaper of the Birmingham district, came out in a ringing editorial one day last week, exorbitating a policeman for his unfairness and mistreatment of a colored man. The editorial, as it appeared in the "Age-Herald" of April 5, follows: While the streets in the neighborhood of the Lyme Theatre were crowded with the theoreos Monday night a policeman endeavored to clear a passage along the sidewalk, in front of the entrance to the gallery. As hurtful as the entrance, the exits on the lower floors, he was attempting to perform a duty for which he should have been commended. A large number of Negroes were standing on the curb, waiting to enter the gallery. They moved back at the policeman's order, but the was apparently not in a position to location whatever he seized a Negro man who was standing on the edge of the curb with several Negro women and evidently tried to throw him into the street. So far as bystanders could see, the Negro hadn't opened his mouth and had shown no disposition to be held against him he began to struggle and the result was a fight which lasted for several minutes, on both the crowded snowwalk and on the street and caused a great death of around 100 people and some unnecessary and uncalled for. The police officers and ancreated a much greater disturbance his conduct than would have resulted from a congested sidewalk. It is quite likely that the Negro was arrested and charged with resisting an officer. Of course if a weapon was found on him, he would be duly punished for that, but whether or not he had bad character, the policeman was in the bad victim, his victim does not deserve fine or imprisonment under the circumstances noted. There are always men on the police force who bully Negroes, a practice which foments race hatred and has caused many policemen to be assassinated in the South by Negroes thirteenth-century white settlers. A square deal for the under dog should be the police of the police department in Birmingham, as well as elsewhere. KILL TWO SOLDIERS (Special to THE NEW York Am.) Norfolk, Va.—When a group of seamen from the battleship New Hampshire, from the naval hospital, attempted to marry the Carter, a seventeen-year-old Negro boy George Carter, his sixteen-year-old brother, went to the rescue with a revolver, and when the smoke had cleared away two of the would-be lynchers were dead and the others were hunting places of safety faster than a rabbit ever hunted its brar patch. The white men, on leave from duty, were about 300 strong, and near the corner of Washington and Cumberland streets they saw Willie Carter, with Eddie himwood and Richard Carter. The soldiers clashed them. Eddie and Richard turned off into a side street but Willie continued up Cumberland with the crowd following him. He turned into a blind alley and here the mischief-making crowd caught him. George in the meantime, had heard of a crook in the brothel and he procured a revolver and appeared on the scene with results as aforestated. One of the men was a marine from Chicago and the other from Philadelphia—northerners both of them, and yet they were killed while attempting to lynch an innocent Negro boy George was not appraised for more than twenty-hour hours, but when arrested he was charmed with murder. His brother, Willie was released. Walter Land, a leading white attorney of Norfolk, will defend young Carter. LANEY LEAGUE SENDS $350 TO HAINES SCHOOL At its meeting on April 7 the Lucy Laney League of New York City voted to make its 1916 donation to the Haines Institute, Augusta, Ga., of which Miss Laney Laney is the founder and president, the sum of $150. The League was organized eleven years ago for the purpose of contributing to the support of this school, the original membership being made up of former students and friends of the school. Each year some financial contribution has been made. The eleventh annual reception of the League was held at Palace Casino on March 10, and to date net receipts amount to $294.60. C. C. Davis is the energetic president of the organization. REPUBLICANS ARE IN TURMOIL IN GEORGIA THE OLD GUARD IS FAITHFUL Two State Conventions Held Same Day Show That Chairman Johnson Is Supported by a Large Majority of the Men Who Made the Republican Party in the State. (Special to The New York Ack.) MACON, GA—It is not believed that the efforts of Henry S. Jackson, B. J. Davis and Henry Lincoln Johnson to secure control of the Republican party in the State will be successful, since the Republican State Convention held here on Wednesday, April 12, was attended by nearly all the members of the party who are known as representatives of Republican principles. Col. Walter H. Johnson, chairman of the State Central Committee, called the meeting to order and was greeted with applause. One hundred and forty-three counties were represented by bona fide delegates, and Walter Akerman of Cartersville was selected as temporary chairman, with S. Humbert of Montezuma as temporary secretary, James A. Cobb of Washington, D. C., former special assistant attorney general of the United States, was a visitor, and, following the temporary chairman's keynote speech, was invited to address the convention. The committee on resolutions, after affirming allegiance to the principles of the Republican party, declared in favor of a protective tariff; "ample preparedness" that the army and navy may be able to repel invasion and protect lives of American citizens; compulsory education and free school books; and equal suffrage for men and women. A paragraph strongly condemned lynching, denounced the Democratic State administration for not dealing vigorously with the lynchers, and declared in favor of a law compelling constituents to pay to the taxables or the lynched persons the sum of $10,000. The removal of the sheriff from office who allows a lynching was also favored. Bolters Denounced. Section 10 declares that "the unwarranted act of the bolters calling a rump convention to meet in Atlanta, Ga, on this day is deserving of the severest condemnation by all true and loyal Republicans, and it is gratifying to know that an overwhelming majority of the Republicans in Georgia have rallied to the standard of the party and are speaking and acting to-day through their delegates in this convention." In the naming of delegates at large to the National Republican Convention the following men were elected: W. H. Johson, chairman; H. A. Rucker of Atlanta, B. Blun of Savannah, J. W. Lyons of Augusta, Alternates, C. D. Williams, J. L. Reddick, N. I. McAllister, E. L. Collier. The officers of the State Central Committee were chosen as follows: W. H. Johnson of Columbus, chairman; A. N. Lumlin of Cave Springs, vice-chairman; Sol C. Johnson of Savannah, secretary; J. W. Madison, M.D., of Atlanta, assistant secretary. Members of the committee from the State at large: H. Blun of Savannah, J. W. Griffin of Albany, W. D Johnson of Plans, I. J. Turner of Columbus, H. L. McKee of Atlanta, J. J. Wright, D. C. Cole of Marietta, J. A. Duncan E. L. Weaver, J. W. Lyons of Augusta, S. M. Searlett of Waycross, J. J. Kenkins of Dublin. The delegates are sent to Chicago uninstructed as to their presidential choice The Jackson Faction in Atlanta. ATLANTA, Ga.—The State convention called by Henry S. Jackson in behalf of the Republicans who split from the Walter, H., Johnson faction met here in the Odd Fellows auditorium at the same time the Macon meeting was held. The Jacksonites are making strong claims for regularly and say that 147 counties were represented by duly elected delegates. It was decided to put out a full ticket for State officers, and State. Senator Roscoe Pickett was endorsed for Governor. Several Congressional candidates were endorsed also. A new State central committee was named, with twenty-four members from the State at large and five from each Congressional district. The officers are, State Senator Roscoe Pickett, chairman; John M. Barnes of Thomson, vice-chairman; J. C. Styles of Dawson, secretary. The following is the delegation selected to go to the National Republican Convention: H. S. Jac of Atlanta, chairman; John M. Barnes of Thomson, Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta, B. J Davis of Atlanta, Alternates; Chas, S. Launton of Cuthbert, H. D. Push of Covington, C. R. Jones of Roseville and W. R. Watson of Lathoma. It is reported that State Senator Pickett, in accepting the nomination for Governor, said that whenever he had to call on a Negro he would call at the trofit door, but that when a Negro calls on him (Pickett) the Negro would, of course, have to go to the back door since the Negro must not expect more from him than from any other white man. COLORED FIREMEN FOR ATLANTIC CITY (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—With the introduction to the City Commission of an ordinance providing for the erection of a new fire station on property now owned by the city at Kentucky and Mediterranean avenues, Director of Public Safety Hartlett gave the first intimation of the adoption of a policy for the administration of the Fire Department that will include the appointment of colored men. The ordinance, which made no mention of the cost of the proposed station, passed first reading. While the erection of a fire station in the colored section of the city had long been contemplated and regarded as necessary, Director Bartlett's action came as a surprise. No previous intimation that immediate steps would be taken to this end had been given. Up to this time no colored man has ever been appointed to the Fire Department. While there has been no state or civic obstacle to appointment of colored men, the policy heretofore has been to exclude them. Although plans and specifications for the new building have not yet been drafted, Director Bartlett stated that it is his opinion the work will necessitate an expenditure of about $15,000. If the plan is endorsed by the Commission, the cost will be provided to the cost. The station will be devoted entirely to horse-drawn chemical apparatus that has been superseded in the other fire station by motor equipment. TO PUNISH NORTH (Special to THE NEW York Age.) KINSTON, N. C.—In view of the well-known attitude of the Governor of this State in favor of the preservation of order and the punishment of circe, it is regarded as probable that the recent lynching of Joseph Black, in Greene County, will be the subject of some official action. In fact, it has already been announced that Solicitor H. E. Shaw, of this judicial district, will begin an investigation, into the shooting. Greene is in another district, but Shaw says he expects to have members of the mob tried for conspiracy and breaking jail here and for murder in Snow Hill. Black was shot to death in Greene county, it now seems certain. The sheriffs of the two counties concerned in the crime are now busy dodging responsibility for their inactivity in preventing it, although it is said that the men, who comprised the "mob" had been considering Joe Block's case for days. He could not be legally put to death. The Greene county men executed him illegally. The lynchers, who numbered fully 300 men by the least estimate, comprised the first automobile mob in North Carolina's history, probably. There were some "machines" in the death prosecution back to Greene county. It was also probably the quietest lynching that ever occurred where such a large party was concerned. DAHOMIAN CHIEF AT HEBREW PASSOVER At the beginning of the celebration of the Passover feast, commemorating the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt, held at the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society, East Broadway, on Monday night, the most conspicuous figure was that of Chief Lobogola, a Negro Jew from Dahomey, who traces his descent from the sons of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Lobogola's father and mother, though they know nothing of Judaism, honor religious customs similar to those of the Nebrew faith. It is their belief that King Solomon's sons and the Queen of Sheba carried the worship of Solomon into the Arabian desert. Lobogola ran away from home when eight years old, and as a stowaway reached Glastow, Scotland. Picked up by the city chamberlain, he was educated at the Glasgow University. He is in this country lecturing on customs of his country. Wearing the skull cap required by his faith and the heavy blacklaces of beads which mark him as a married man in his own country. Lobogola was a striking figure even in the polyglot assemblage which gathered at the rooms of the Aid Society. $5,000 FOR MANASSAS FROM MR. ROSEWALD The Manassas Industrial School for Nurses at Manassas, Va. will be given $5,000, in sums of $1,000 a year for five years, provided the Manassas Association of New York raises $4,000 a year additional. This announcement was made at a meeting of the association held at the home of Mrs. Henry Villard, 404 Park avenue, New York. Oswald Garrison Villard, presiding, said that about $1,000 had been raised. The meeting was addressed by George Gordon Rattle, George McAnney, Mr Villard and Fred D. Morton, the new principal of Manassas School. Pupils from the Music School Settlement, J. Rosamond Johnson, supervisor, furnished several musical numbers. New officers of the association are George McAnney, president; Oswald Garrison Villard, treasurer; Miss Frederica Paula, secretary. LYNCHED JN JAIL YARD: (Special to THE NEW York Age) LAWTON, ORKIA—Not content with shooting the Negro to death, a mob of several hundred men tied the body of Carl Dudley to an automobile and dragged it through the streets to the outskirts of the city. The body was then hung to a telephone pole. Dudley was charged with shooting Tama Hayes, a policeman, who died from the attack. When first arrested Dudley was taken to the army post at Port Sill for safety, the army officers turned over to the city. The man be forced to credit and quickly overpowered the sheriff. Deputy attempted to protect the Negro but he was forced aside. The man was taken to the jail ward, stole up against a brick wall and fifty or more shots fired into his body.

Why not send your contribution to-day to the Committee in New York having charge of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund? Why delay? The quicker this money is raised by us the greater will be the respect for us of our white friends. $250,000 is not such a large sum to raise, if all lovers of the race and of the memory of Booker T Washington pull together. Fifty cents from each man, woman and child in Greater New York would mean $75,000. Twenty-five cents from each one would mean $37,500, and 10 cents from each one would mean $17,250. A few have already subscribed $25 each, and a few $10 each; a few more $5, a few $2.50, and quite a number $1 each. Don't allow yourself to be begged. Give voluntarily—give because you admired the work done by Dr. Washington for his race and for humanity. Give to make Tuskegee Institute an enduring monument to his memory. Give because it is your duty to give. Give to make the race of which you are a member big and strong with the white race who are watching us and wondering if we are as appreciative of our leader as we said we were when he lived and plead our cause. Give now and give what you can afford. Those in Greater New York can send money by check or money order to the Secretary, 45 East 42d Street, Room 11, or to the Treasurer, Dr. E. P' Roberts, 242 West 53d Street. Those elsewhere in the States, the Philippines, Hawaii or the Canal Zone can send direct to Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Let the money begin to roll in every minute, every hour, every day. Be of the number, be one of the loyal members of the race. Contributions sent direct to The Age will be acknowledged in its columns as received. LET HIM DO IT IF HE CAN The following editorial from the New York Sun is so good that we cannot refrain from reproducing it: Let the President Get This Out of His Mind! Even when face to face with such concrete problems of international policy as confront him to-day President Wilson continues to cherish a mistaken idea. He is not the President of Humanity, he is the President of the United States. His duties are not vague and general, or diffused throughout the earth in the performance of what he is required to style "species." His duties are specific they are confined to the interests of the United States, and they are defined by the laws of the United States, not the general moral law. If he will get out of his mind the confusion of official responsibility which he manifested in his speech at the Jefferson Davangue, the difficult task now confronting him will become less difficult. This brief article of only 125 words completely sums up the weaknesses of the Administration when it is confronted by conditions requiring action and not rhetoric. THE LILY WHITE MOVEMENT AGAIN. The renewed activity of the Lily Whites in the Southern states leads us to say that of all the traitorous, underhand movement, this takes the palm. The men who are now seeking to put the colored man out of the councils of the Republican party are men who for years have held places of preferment and honor simply because they were affiliated with thousands of black voters. We shall pay our respects to them more fully later. VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON. CONTRIBUTING EDITOR SHAKESPEARE day, April the twenty-third, will be the third of the death of Shakespeare.

Cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff Which weighs upon the heart? the wonderful imagery in these two brief I describing the breaking of day: Sunday, April the twenty-third, will be the three hundredth anniversary of the death of Shakespeare. Nothwithstanding the terrible period through which the world is now passing, English speaking people everywhere will celebrate the event, and every civilized nation will be cognizant of it. In any catalog of human greatness, Shakespeare and his work stand at the top. To-day, three hundred years after his death, his fame is greater than it ever was, and is constantly increasing. Nor is it confined to his own land and tongue; the Germans claim that they understand and appreciate him better than the English do. The great poet is for all time; he lives while other great names become but memories. Take the great trinity in war, Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon, and see how they shrink into littleness before the great trinity in poetry, Homer, Dante and Shakespeare. Above the great soldier, the great statesman, the great scholar or the great inventor, the great poet still stands typifying the highest achievement possible to the human intellect. So great is Shakespeare that he excites as much wonder as admiration. We find it impossible to believe that he knew how well he wrote. The marvel has led some people to doubt that he wrote at all. These people hold that what we call Shakespeare must have been written by some learned man, such as Lord Bacon, and not by an actor named Shakespeare who "had small Latin and less Greek." They base their claim upon the fact that in Bacon's time it was beneath the dignity of a gentleman to be known as a playwright; so Bacon wrote the plays in Shakespeare's name. But in Bacon's time it was a great honor to be a poet; and it is plain that the same hand which wrote the Shakespeare plays also wrote the Shakespeare sonnets and poems. Then why did not Bacon put his name to the sonnets and poems? The whole theory is absurd. What is the secret of Shakespeare's greatness? It is nothing less than sheer magic. He is the great magician with words. He blends words and ideas in such wonderful music that he plays upon every emotion of the human heart, from the tenderest to the fierces How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! Here will we sit and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony. Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold; There's not the smallest orb which thou behold st But in his motion like an angel sings, Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubims; Such harmony is in immortal souls; But whilst this muddy vesture of decay Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it. Or take this cry of remorse from "Macbeth": Can't thou not minister to a mind diseased; Pluck from the memory of a rooted sorrow; Raze out the written troubles of the brain; And, with some sweet oblivious antidote, Cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff, Which weighs upon the heart? Note the wonderful imagery in these two brief lines from Romeo and Juliet, describing the breaking of day: Night's candles are burnt out, and jound day Stands tuptee on the misty mountain tons. Listen to the martial trumpeting in the following lines from "Henry V.": O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend The brightest heaven of a kingdom for a stage, And monarchs to helix.

The same play, the same poem, the end over time after time, and it will never be. Those who do not know Shakespeare begin an anniversary of his death, and make the bit. You will be more than repaid. Such passages could be multiplied indefinitely, each rivalling the others in beauty, but these are sufficient for the purpose. In what lies the enchantment in these passages? Is it in what they teach or in what they preach? No, it is in their bewitching music. Music that charms the mind and the senses. One explanation of Shakespeare's wizardy in the use of words is that he wrote when the language was new, when he could take words and use them in any sense he saw fit. There is much in this explanation. Any manner in which Shakespeare used a word seems natural to us, even if it does sound quaint. Take for example the last word, "employment" in the quotation above from "Henry V." But now the language is set and the words are old; for a modern writer to use it arbitrarily would simply be to brand himself as eccentric. Now, everybody knows about Shakespeare; but how many know him, how many read him? No English speaking person can rightfully claim to be cultured who is not in some degree familiar with Shakespeare. But aside from the question of culture, the immense delight and pleasure which his works afford should be an inducement to everyone to read them. He is the one English poet who never grows old. The same play, the same poem, the same passage may be read over time after time, and it will never fail to reveal new beauties. Let those who do not know Shakespeare begin on this three hundredth anniversary of his death, and make the reading of his works a habit. You will be more than repaid. JUDGE SPEER ON LYNCHING. Judge Emory Speer of Geaching when he charged the Lerregular term of his court the lawlessness which has swept Judge Speer laid the blame at the age, he pointed out, has a prisoched. Emory Speer of Georgia had something when he charged the Federal grand jury a term of his court the other day. In dishess which has swept over the country in her laid the blame at the doors of state courts out, has a prisoner of the Federal g Judge Emory Speer of Georgia had something to say about lynching when he charged the Federal grand jury at the opening of the regular term of his court the other day. In discussing the wave of lawlessness which has swept over the country in the past year, Judge Speer laid the blame at the doors of state court judges. Not once, he pointed out, has a prisoner of the Federal government been lynched. The judge went on to say: "The law of the United States gives to the judge an unlimited power to punish for contempt. He cannot both fine and imprison, but the fine or imprisonment is in the discretion of the court. My word for it again, gentlemen, that if a prisoner held under the due process of law, and put to death or otherwise deprived of his rights, if identification could be made by proof, I would, if necessary, fill the United States penitentiary of Atlanta with the lynchers. That would stop it." Judge Speer then referred to a case which happened in Okla- "The law of the United States gives to the judge an order to punish for contempt. He cannot both fine and fine or imprisonment is in the discretion of the court for it again, gentlemen, that if a prisoner held a process of law, and put to death or otherwise deprived, if identification could be made by proof, I would fill the United States penitentiary of Atlantaers. "That would stop it." Speer then referred to a case which happened days ago where a judge was trying a case. "The law of the United States gives to the judge an unlimited power to punish for contempt. He cannot both fine and imprison, but the fine or imprisonment is in the discretion of the court. My word for it again, gentlemen, that if a prisoner held under the due process of law, and put to death or otherwise deprived of his rights, if identification could be made by proof, I would, if necessary, fill the United States penitentiary of Atlanta with the lynchers. "That would stop it." Judge Speer then referred to a case which happened in Oklahoma a few days ago where a judge was trying a case; the evidence THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1916. had just been concluded; when a mob seized the prisoner, tied a rope around his neck and hung him from the balcony of the court house in the very presence of the judge. Judge Speer concluded his charge by saying: "We must think of these things, gentlemen, unless we wish our country to be Mexicanized and reduced to the condition of that fair land, where the lawless and cruel greasers of Villa and Carranza have made what ought to be a paradise a perfect hell upon earth." Judge Speer is not only an "upright judge," but he has the manhood to put his uprighteousness into effect. There are lots of men who are upright enough in their hearts, but they are moral and physical cowards; so their uprighteousness does nobody any good, not even themselves. If all the judges in Georgia had a true conception of the obligations of their office and also Judge Speer's courage, lynchers in that state would soon become as extinct as the dodo. THE LETTER FROM A COLORED WIFE AND MOTHER. Elsewhere we publish a letter from "a colored wife and mother" which is more than interesting, it is disquieting. It is more than a heart cry against war from a mere woman, it is a heart cry from a colored woman and those who read the letter will understand how much more that means. Our correspondent makes no pretense of setting up a logical argument why colored men should not enlist to fight; she is speaking not for her head, but from her heart; and, possibly, she is speaking for the hearts of thousands of other colored wives and mothers. The letter is disquieting because it makes us pause and consider what the result would be if the women of the race lost heart. It also makes us realize how bravely they have struggled, in spite of the double burden which they bear. Further, we are led to speculate upon how much the American Negro could bear before he would take his fixed gaze off the beckoning star, and turn with empty eyes back upon black despair. WHO OBJECTS? The National Democratic Club gave a banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria last week. The event went off to the effervescence of a vast amount of Democratic oratory and of undemocratic champagne. Attorney-General Gregory made one of those quasi-comic after-dinner speeches, which always make the listeners undecided as to whether they should laugh or get mad. Every man who has attended dinners has at some time listened to that sort of a speech, and he has glanced around and seen some of the diners wearing a strained, unnatural smile and the others looking either serious or scared. "There sits before me," said the Attorney-General, "many a man guzzling champagne and wearing a dress suit whom I knew in earlier if not happier days when he led the simple life, drank persimmon beer and branch water and sported one gallus. I trust and believe that these men have been true to their ancestral faith and have brought to you and maintained among you the best traditions of the Southern Democracy." Mr. Gregory went on to comment on the dreadful seductions of New York life as applied to "the unsuspicious and unsophisticated Southern" (not all of whom, he intimated, are as yet in positions of responsibility in the National Government) At the psychological moment the band struck up "Dixie." and it reported that the six hundred members of the club, and their guests "arose and beat time to the Administration air." It is also reported that several Southern gentlemen who hold fat jobs in New York led the chorus, singing lustily, "I wish I was in Dixie." And we rise to ask, "What stands in the way of a fulfilment of the wish?" We should like to know who is garbling the despatches from Mexico Col. Brown and Major Chas Young are at the head of a detachment of the Tenth, and this detachment forms the vanguard of the American forces in Mexico. The Tenth cavalry is leading the march into Mexico, yet there seems to be an understood plan to keep the name of the regiment out of the despatches. We do not believe the army officers would commive at such a thing; for they have never been reluctant to give the colored soldiers the highest praise. Do the reports from the front, then, lose something in passing through Mexico, or are they toned down in Washington? The colored soldiers are in the army as separte units; therefore they are entitled to individual credit, whenever they earn it. E IS NOT ALONE A despatch from Gettysburg, S. D., says that John Higgins Botham of that town goes crazy every four years. It seems that his malady falls on Presidential election years. Mr. Botham has already got his commitment papers and will betake himself to the asylum. This is the eleventh time. We sympathize with Mr. Botham but we admire him for the fact that he realizes his condition. He has millions of fellow citizens who do not. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY FROM A COLORED WIFE AND MOTHER. Mr. Jan. W. Johnson. Contributing Editor, New York Ago Dear Bli:--It has been my good for time in reading your articles, to be able to agree with the sentiments which you express from week to week. This has been a source of pride to me for I am very desirous of thinking, since I have a number of subjects which I try to think, and because, also, I am rearing a family, and I wish to give my children, prenatally, a sane mental capacity. Hence when I read after the writers whose opinions win recognition in the world of literature, and I certainly understand what I think thiste with their I feel that I am beginning to learn to think. However, in that issue of The Age in which you had an article on the colored man fighting for America, I find that I cannot make myself BELIEVE that he should I am not mould, neither do I believe that all of the whites of this country little us, but our friends, brave and strong, are very weak in proportion to the rolling masses, and, alas, 'tis the misses who have the legal power to sear our souls and make us cry out in anger, to God, "How long, O Lord, how I from the viewpoint of a woman, in spite of reasons globe, because I love love my children and all the little ones of my life, in my heart of hearts I can but say fierly, "our hearts are feeling the way we know that we must go to circumstances because we have no alternative and if the need arises, we women must bravely send our loved ones, though it rendes our very souls, and must try to help them with hope so that they may fight bravely and make their cause succeed. But though we may do this, still our real selves hereby protest. Then, still further, we must go in thinking of this matter. Suppose the invading army were on us and all our brave boys a slave in their custody and all their children in custody at home and be it the mercy of the whites. And let me say right here that there is not a white woman in this country who fears the black brute one who as a slave in their custody is brute in our fear is double, for ourselves and for our natural protectors who are at every disadvantage in the community and in the coats when they protect their women a many a case in their custody over many a result and injustices from white men because she fears to allow her male relatives to protect her, for too often it means death for her sake. No one can know a colored woman's predicament unless she fears To white women interested, in clubs and in sociology, puzzled mightily and theorizing wildly about the Negro (please spare us the obvious term for black people) in search for truth, just come in my home live my life for a fortnight, go shopping, come walk in the streets with me, in the role of a colored woman, just try that interesting experiment, and you will be able to go back to school and aid shedded limbs in all questions which pertain to my race. Of course, you can give specific instances and many logical reasons to show me that I am wrong, but the fact remains that PRACTICE in this country is illogical and the practice, not history, is what touches us. There is that history, so well written, the Court attention, so well written, but how obeyed? Certainly, perfectly fair war measures would be drawn up, but productions would ignore their fairness in actual practice, and it is this practice which afflicts terror to our souls, makes us shudder, and clasp our little noses in their mouths, and things and the contempt shown our men at all times teaches us to hate and makes every colored woman in the United States feel that if there were some way out of it, she would make her man stay at home and protect his own life, and the most insidious and deadly foe. But it is to the white women of America that the colored women owe their wrongs. For in their hearts they carry hate for their darker sisters; TUSKEGEE INST. SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS SEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION JUNE 12 TO JULY 21, 1916 OVER 400 PRESENT EACH SESSION DURING LAST THREE YEARS their children are born with a capacity for hate and cruelty and least they should mistake the direction, they are early taught to despise a dark person. Every white man is influenced by the color white and the white women eternally object when there might be a little humanity shown to the colored race. Is it a pure hate, or is there a fear mixed therein? The colored women want merely the man's chance for their men and ask be for them, commonly shown strangers for themselves. How we love? We are brave, and we want to be patriotic, but what have we ever gained by loyalty? Is not the hate that conceivable gaining the trust that we must have the trust. What real future is there for our children when we have to think in terms of "after a hundred years move"? We are living now. What will make a change, can we say it will make a change, can we help it? What lies in Will lightning and the death of thousands of our finest men help? No, you know it will not, never so long as America is by virtue of laws and belief, a white man's country. A COLLORED WIFE AND MOTHER Jacksonville, Fla, April 13, 1916. A GOOD INTENTION.

Inequality before the law between the white and colored Americans must cease. Lynch law must be rooted out. To the disfranchisement of the Negro citizen an effective stop must be put.

Chester came to its portside in charge of a lieutenant, ho. in the name of the commander of the Chester tendered us the use of the launch in taking us ashore, of which kind consideration we very gladly availed our Officers and directors are John Merrick, president, C.

LIEUT. GREEN GOES TO MONROVIA LIBR MONROVIA, LIBERIA First Lieutenant John A. Green, who has been on duty with the 25th regiment, United States Infantry, on the Mexican border, was recently ordered by the Secretary of War to be detached from duty with that regiment, and appointed as military attache to the American Legation at Magnovia, Liberia. This was the post held until recently by Major Charles Young, who is now in Mexico with the famous Tenth Cavalry. We were next guests of the Presi- dent and Mrs. Howard at the execu- tive mission. We were also guests of the commander—oard of the Chester's commander Frank H. Scholfield, and then Hon C. D. King, Secretary of state and Mrs. King, invited us to examine the governance of our country and the commander and the Chester's guests of the "Chester." Lieut Green, after paying his respects to the Liberian Consul General, the Rev. Ernest Lyon, at Baltimore, came to New York and sailed for Liberia by way of Cadiz, Spain. And then the venerable, not to say strenuous, Bishop S D Ferruison bon- press us by giving a delightful sall up and a welcome lunch on board his commodious lunch to be joined with their wives to meet us.

I am sending a picture of the girl's school at home. 10TH COMES TO RESCUE OF WHITE SOLDIERS A squadron of the famous Tenth Cavalry, under Major Charles Young, is in the foreground of the punitive expedition in Mexico, and meager advances tell of how the colored soldiers with their colored officer came to the timely assistance of the white American soldiers at Parral Wednesday of last week. Although the papers, as usual, refrain from commenting at length on the important part the Tenth is playing in Mexico, it is difficult to suppress all of the movement of the colored American fighters. On the day 22 we celebrated Washington's 11th day in American style. In the evening we had a large dinner and dance complimentary to the Washington Center at which the Pres dent and every member of the Cabinet with their wives were present, enclosed find a menu.

BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS GENERAL SUMMARY FOR 1915-1916 BY WIL ANTHONY MADDEN In the last two seasons the "Incorporators" have played the games in the "big league" and won every one of them. In fact they have never been beaten and are anxiously waiting for the cahine to meet both Hampton and St. Christopher. The one big mistake that some people make, is trying to basketball emphatic pastie play prizefighter, the fighter who defeats either fighter and so by doing take away whatever title the defeated man may have had, but to try such tactics in basketball is humorous and ridiculous. Basketball must be rated the same as baseball and football and the only way to accomplish that is by the "forming of a league wherein a percentage can be rated and until that league is form. If the percentage basis will have to be named by the different editors in the sports rating is high this season and they have inquestionally won the college championship, in order to reach a world championship the Vir- St. Christopher hasn't been so general in this switching of men and furthermore the "Tiger" lineup this season is the same as last season. The team that the Caitlins are the best of these "second" teams for the season of 1915-16. In conclusion I will sum up the championships and standing of the teams as follows: **WORLD'S CHAMPIONS.** 1. Incorporators. 2. Hamilton. 3. Alpha. 4. Lincoln. 5. Monticello-Delaney Rifles 6.

Through the courtesy of other large organizations the first Friday in May for twelve years has been known as "Hope Day Night," but because another organization has chosen that date it is announced that the May affair to be known as the "Kids Follies of 1916" will be given on Thursday evening, May 4. at Manhattan Casino. Forty clever children are being trained for this affair by Miss Amanda Kemp, whose known ability in this line always gives one the assurance that the program will be one of genuine enjoyment. Mrs Daisy C Reed, who is greatly interested in the success of the Hope Day Nursery, makes, the following statement: "Have you one child or have you three children. Suppose you were left a widow and had to work to support your third children. If you received a dollar and a half a day for your work, could you afford to pay the customary twenty-five cents a day per child to your mother to watch your children, and have enough lett to pay the high rent and meet the high cost of living of today. You would find it impossible. In despair you would in all probability break up your home and put your children in an institution. "The Hope Day Nursery was organized to take care of the children of the mother who is trying to make an honest living for her little ones. For fourteen years the doors of this institution have managed to keep open through the untiring efforts and unfaltering devotion to the work of a number of sympathetic women. "It takes $200 a month to provide food, coal, fuel and pay the salaries of the matron, cook and two nurses who administer to the wants of the twenty-five or thirty children found there daily. "The nursery is supported by voluntary contributions and through the giving of an annual entertainment and several house parties during the winter. "In March four colored babies were burned to death in a Harlem flat. All the daily and weekly papers in commenting on this horrible catastrophe said more day nurseries were needed in Harlem. This is quite true, but what is more urgent is greater financial support for Hope Day Nursery, already in your midst. "Each person who reads this appeal is urged to buy a ticket for this entertainment and not to embark on a holiday at the hotel and to embark Hope Day Network to meet the mortgage obligations.

MISS STELLA HOGANS' 175 Pearl St. Paterson, N. J. Also Visiting Hair Dresser. Only Mme. C. J. Walkers System Used ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—Atlantic City is now in the midst of a hot campaign fight, as five City Commissioners are to be elected on the field, the Riddle ticket, headed by Mayor Wm. Wriddle; the Bacharach; and an Independent ticket, headed by A. M. Heston, chairman of the City Sinking Fund. The real fight is between the Riddle and the Bacharach factions, and each is determined to exterminate the other and refuses to acrunning for delegates to the Republic any support that does not support the whole ticket. As usual, the colored voters are being appealed to by both factions and all kind of anti-election promises are being made. The fight is so desperate that each faction has pledged a colored free company if elected. The Commission fight has overshadowed the Presidential primary election, of which few people seem to know anything, although the primaries will be held April 25, two weeks prior to the Commission election. The interest so far in the primary election so far is centered on Jas A. L. Lightfoot, a colored lawyer, and W. F. Cozart, a colored business man, who are Italian National Convention, in opposition to two white candidates I. W. I. Roundtree, an A. M. E. minister, is running for delegate-at-large. As the two colored candidates are lined up with opposite factions the commission has made to get them and their friends to fighting each other, which would defeat both of the colored delegates. But the majority of the colored voters are on to this scheme and will vote solidly for the two colored men. As the primaries come off before the Commission election, the commission will be willing to vote for the colored candidates for delegates. The faction that casts the largest vote for the colored candidates will receive the largest number of colored votes in the Commission election two weeks later. Palm Sunday was a record breaker, as over 250,000 spent the day in the election. The weather was and the indications are that the resort will not be able to accommodate the Easter crowd, as no less than 250,000 will come to the shore Easter Sunday.
