XXIX No. 35 BUFFET FLATS' DEVELOPMENT Investigation Shows Whole saler Responsible for Development of Evil. Supplies the Landlady with All the Intoxicating Beverages Required for Catering to Her. Clientele of "Transient" Lodgers. SALOONMEN WANT CHANGE Fact is Developed that Many Evils Now Charged Against Negro Saloonman are Due to Diverting of Patronage of Mass of Negroes to Saloons Conducted by White Men-Effort to Change Conditions. In a resume of conditions, as concerns the liquor trade in Harlem, probably the most important element is to be found in the operations of the men who conduct the wholesale liquor stores, or "barrel houses" as some of them are referred to. In The Age, during the past several weeks, articles have appeared treating of Harlem liquor condition, and it has been clearly shown that whatever unsatisfactory conditions are obtained at this time are due primarily to the influence of the "barrel houses," with the "back rooms" of the saloons conducted by some of the white men affording a strong secondary influence. These phases have been considered in former articles, but it is impossible in the scope of these articles to cover all the ground necessary to a complete consideration. In investigating the relation of the salon in Harlem to the material progress of the race the openly conducted saloon is, of course, an important factor. But there has also been discovered the fact that the operation of "buffet flats" must be given serious consideration. The "Buffet Flats." The "buffet flat" is a peculiar contrivance, and, perhaps, indigenous to New York City. Primarily, it appears its operation began in a small way, through the catering of a landlady to the liquid wants or needs of temporary lodgers or visitors, ordinarily known as "transients." As the circle of "judicious" or "trustworthy" friends was extended, the supply of liquids to be obtained on the premises was amplified and increased. In many cases, when the increased quantity was necessitated, the landlady was "short" of change, and that meant the wholesaler was taken into her confidence, at least to the extent of a request for credit until the sought-for stock of liquids could be disposed of. And here is where the wholesaler displays his fine art. He has noticed, of course, the frequent purchases made by our Landlady, and now he has a chance to himself unfish(?) appreciation. He not only grants the small credit asked for, but insists that a larger order means increased profit at no additional risk to the lady. With smooth-tongued plausibility he impresses upon her that she will only be doing what others are doing, and that he will be only too glad to extend all the consideration necessary. Thus he becomes her silent partner, furnishing the intoxicants which she disposes of to her circle of clients at a price greatly in advance of the saloon's rate. And she pays neither State or governmental tax. Increasing Her Clientele. The combination thus formed rarely steps with the dispensing of alcoholic drinks, beginning the custom as a catering to 'transient' lodgers, the desire for an increased chentelle usually leads to the installing of 'permanent' ballets in the shape of attractive young women whose presence will draw an additional number of men, the men, of course being given every opportunity to enter the patrons of the landlady's private court. This is all grist to the mill for the wokaker, or keeper of the 'barrel whiskey', who is supplying this particular drink and the more stuff the wokaker adds, the more pleased is the wokaker man.

Some Objectionable Features.

Olivet Baptist Church and the fifth anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev. Win P. Hays were jointly celebrated Sunday, May 21, the membership of the church muting in marking the event by a "Rally of the States". The appropriate decorations consisted of flags and banners with the American eagle mounted high above all. The man feature of the day's service was the preaching of the anniversary sermon by the Rev. Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., a former pastor of Mt. Olivet, who took as a subject "Christian The Rev. WM. P. HAYES Progress. He was introduced to the congregation by the pastor. The choir sang Coleridge-Taylor's 'O, Ye That Love the Lord,' and "I Will Give Thanks Into Thee," by Rossam. The evening service included the "Rally of the States." The pastor read his fifth annual report, showing that the church had gained 1,200 new members during his pastorate, with a present membership of about 2,100; had raised $51,979.50; the pastor has solemnized 133 marriages; attended 15 funerals and delivered 650 sermons and addresses. A paper, "Samson and the Foxes," was read by Mr. Fox. The choir sang "Inflammatus," from Stalact Mater by Rossan, with Miss Amy P. Bailey singing the soprano obligato, and the membership responded to the call of the rally. Because of the number engaged and the amount involved the final report was deferred to next Sunday. ELECTED SECRETARY EPISCOPAL DIOCESE (Special to The New York Acct.) OMAHA, NEB.—At the forty-ninth annual council of the Diocese of the Episcopal Church, which met in this city, the Rev. John Albert Williams, who has been the assistant secretary for a number of years, was unanimously elected secretary of the diocese. The new secretary is rector of St. Philip's Church of Omaha. SHERIFF KILLED FOR (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) ELBERTON, GA.-Sheriff S. N. Hailey of Elbert county was shot and killed in the court house by Arnold Worley, a well known attorney of this city. A quarrel started when Worley charged Hailey with being too rough with a Neuro prisoner. few jobs during the week. A helper will assist with one job on Monday, and as it is the custom to pay off the workers after each job is finished, he will have a sum, not large, it is true, but sufficient forklum, with probably a companion helper, to make his way to a "jarrel house" and buy enough cheap whiskey or gun to bring on a feeling of antagonism to work for the next day or two. Some of the owners of small moving van-which ought ordinarily be operated by one or two men, find it necessary to enroll from six to twelve helpers in order to be sure of knowing where to find workers when needed. And then sometimes they are fooled. In considering some of the objectionable features of the salons conducted by Negroes, investigation shows that the patronage given to the white men's salons by the large mass of the Negro population is responsible for many of these evils. If the patronage were diverted from the white men's saloon to one conducted by a Negro it would be possible for the Negro onlooker to eradicate every objectionable feature of his business as it is conducted at present. In this investigation, the colored saloonman has been given an opportunity to express himself on this phase of the question, and without exception he has declared his willingness to conform to all legal requirements. And, too, he has deprecated the conditions which make it necessary to cater to that class of trade which includes "women who drink." An effort has been made by all the interests concerned to do away with one of the most objectionable features of the saloon business: the crowds of men who stand in front of the salons and on the corners near salons. The authorities have instructed police officers to break in these congregations, but the order seems to have been honored more in the breach than the observance. Gov.

NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL OUT OF DEBT Unnamed Benefactors in State of New York Have Made Liberal Donations. THE TREASURER'S STATEMENT President J. E. Shepard Announces that Gen. J. S. Carr Has Given $1,000 on Budget of $323,000 Needed for Current Expenses, New Buildings and Endowment for Next School Year—Eight Graduates. (BY T. L. McCOY) Durham, N. C.-Thursday morning, May 18, 1910, Marked the seventh annual commencement of the National Training School at Durham, N. C. This ideal school is located just one mile and a half southeast of Durham. Seven years ago Dr. J. E. Shephard, a consecrated Christian gentleman, an ardent Sunday School worker, saw the need of a national religious training school and set about to establish one. How well he has succeeded is evidenced by the thirty-two acres of land upon which this school is located with ten spacious buildings thereon for housing and teaching young men and women religious precepts and industrialism. Commencing last Sunday, afternoon at 4 o'clock Avery's Auditorium was filled to its utmost capacity by Durham people as well as visitors from various parts of the State, who were charmed with the excellent baccalaureate sermon preached by the Rev P. J. Bryant, of Atlanta, Ga. The annual musicale and class day exercises took place Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D. C. delivered an address, entitled "The Race Problem Today". Mrs. Terrell is unquestionably one of the foremost women of the Negro race. Her optimistic view of the Negro's future in this country was told in an eloquent voice and for more than one hour she pictured the past, present and future of the race in a manner which was pleasing to all who heard her. Thursday, May 18, Dr. M. C. Morgan, pastor of Central Presbyterian Church, Summit, N. J., delivered the commencement address, taking as his subject "Preparedness." He said in part: "Preparedness is a great deal bigger word than can be expressed in terms on military defense. If you think that the problem of adequate preparedness is solved so soon as you have a few more guns along the coast, and a few more guns in your army and a few more boats in your navy, you are very much mistaken. A home is not prepared for occupancy just because it has no firepower on the land. You are prepared for work may not be directed and inspired by the spirit of God, and may His benediction rest ever upon you. What I have said, will I am sure, make clear the high valuation that I have put upon such an institution as this National Religious Training School, whereby you students are being equipped for a life service of the first mission. You are prepared to prepare your fellowmen for the most important service they can render to the nation and to the Kingdom of God. You stand for spiritual preparedness, which alone is adequate for the problems and responsibilities of life both for the individual an dfor the nation." The speaker's address was forceful and inspiring. The college chair headed by Mrs. Bessie G. King-rendered several public melodies. Troasuror's Announcement. The report of J. B. Mason, treasurer of the National Training School, read a. follows: "As a citizen of Durham and a friend of the colored people, I have come to share in your joy on this occasion. As the treasurer of this institution, I have come to make some important announcements. This should be a time of great rejoicing for the colored people in the school where its opening day. At that time a large mortgage debt faced the institution and there was not a penny in the treasury with which to gueit the current expenses. To-day there is not a penny due on the bond and indebtedness of the school and every one of the payment has been met and as treasurer I can now assume the property of the institution absolutely unmobilized with the little vested in them and with nothing due on the school term 1915-16. In addition to this there is still a few dollars in the treasury and the money for the building and for the facilities in sight. It has not been necessary for the treasurer to borrow one cent in order to make these announcements as I make these statements do you realize what responsibility rests upon you? How loyal you ought to be to this enterprise, how sacred them, for this institution is primarily of Durham should it be made a particular pride in it such that each a particular school in it sees that all debts paid. The president and treasurer cannot do it alone. The officers must have the support of the people. The trustees inform me that for the current expenses next year $17,000 will be needed, for new buildings, $25,000 for a new window. This is seemingly easy but it can be secured. Every person here ought to make a phone setting forth how much he or she will give on the amount to be raised and then the statement can be made to the public that the people of Durham have given us or that amount for the National Trust that the amount needed will forthcoming. I did not come here to say much. I am simply a business man and a citizen of Durham, a part of this institution and a friend of the colored people. I desire to say to the The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

GIRL WINS DAMAGES FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL (Special to The New York Age) (Special to The New York Age) HUNTINGTON, W. VA.-In the current court, Judge John T. Graham presiding, the Rev. C. E. McKee, former superintendent of the Uolored Orphan's Home, was sued for damage by a former pupil of that institution, Larryen Tinsley Lodd, the girl charging that at various times during her stay at the home she had been criminally assaulted by McKee. McKee resigned from the superintendency of the institution after a visitor from the State Board of Control found the young girl with a baby of which she was the mother in her arms and apparently acam in a delicate condition. McKee denied his guilt and introduced evidence to show that the girl had been intimate with another employee of the home, but the girl denied this and produced letters from the matron of the home in which she was asked to say that McKee had never wronged her but had treated her as a father. The jury returned a syriac for the girl, a soiling danages against McKee in the sum of $1,000. Apprehension for a new trial was denied, but it is probable that McKee will appeal the case. FRELINGHUYSEN GIVES (Special to The New York Ac.) BORDENTOWN, N. J.-Hon. Joseph S.

RED CAPS FORCED TO BE STRIKEBREAKERS The present handlers employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad at Pier 28, foot of 15 roses street, struck last week for an increase in pay, from 22 cents an hour to 25 cents. This was refused and the company has been forcing the porters, popularly known as "Red Caps," from the railroad station on Seventh avenue, to take the place of the strikers. Sunday the "Red Caps were called upon to volunteers to go to the freight dock, but none responded, as their experience in a former strike last fall had not been encouraging. However, they were told that they would have to go to the freight dock, not untreated or not. Two men, S-L Payt and Mr. Handy, then quit work rather than take the places of the strikers, who are foreigners. The others, forced by their necessity, to the number of about 150, went to the freight dock. Here they are to be paid $3 a day, but they have to work from ten to twelve hours and sometimes double up by doing extra duty at the Pennsylvania Station. This has kept some of them working twenty-four hours at a stretch. Their former pay was $19 $4 a month for some twenty-five from Jersey City, while the only income of the rest was from tips of the traveling public. Still this netted from $3 to $4 a day, without the risk and danger of working under strike conditions, at a task for which many of them are physically unfit. As it is stated that the Mallory Line, at the pier above, paid 40 cents an hour regularly and 60 cents under strike conditions, the Pennsylvania men feel that they are not being fairly treated in being forced to work for less. They hoped for, farer dealing from such a wealthy corporation as the Pennsylvania road. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) GAMVESTON, TEN - The Ace, L. Baptist Church awarded a contract this week for a call to the job, giving about $20,000, when fullyumped tunnelled, to Negroes, who will do the job from start to finish, and they are giving a bond to do the work just like any other firm of contractors. The Tanner Brothers of Columbus, Texas, are the contractors. The plans and specifications were also drawn by Fulton Tanner, an architect equal to an in town. WEALTHY WHITE KANSAN HELD FOR MURDER (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) CONTINUALLY. KANE-A coroner's jury held Base Use by a white man, for the murder of Michael Glass, class a fourteen-year-old colored girl, found in the Northburgh river some days ago. Base Use is a wealthy man and this girl was in his employ, and all the evidence points to his guilt. Under the rules of the supreme court the offence is bailable and bond was fixed at $10,000. The people of both races got together and ran the murderer down. SHRINERS ENJOINED (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.)

Being introduced, Principal Moton delivered his inaugural address as follows, his subject being "Co-operation and Consecration": At a time when racial misunderstandings and sedimental state, resulting from the construction, had resulted in a white maze, when well deserved were trying to find an appropriate method of racial readjustment, a Southern white man, one who had strong Southern feelings, who saw the great need for a better school and the South, and who was filled with a desire to help him, wrote General Samuel C. Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute, asking that he send a colored man to Tuskegee to begin work on the Hampton plan. When he modelled, unassuming young man, Booker T. Washington, reported with a letter from General Armstrong, his former teacher, and was cordially received and welcomed to this community by Mr. George W. Campbell, then it was that a form of co-operation be established, which was destined to command the respect and admiration, not only of this nation, but also of the entire civilized world. Here met the three elements—the North, the South, and the Negro-elements that must be taken into account, any genuinely satisfactory adjustment, and appropriate ships. It was natural for white men to be considered as important factors in any and all adjustments and problems, whether educational, business or otherwise. Up to this time, the Negro had usually been the problem, and not the white man, so far as any first-hand indication he could make toward the solution of any large social question. These two men representing the two extremes of sectional sentiment, Mr. Campbell, a former slave owner, the South, and General Armstrong, a former officer in the Federal army, the North, and a broad in sympathy and wise in judgment, and entirely cold of any selfish motives, both netted by a sincere desire to reunite with the spirit, as well as in purpose, both patriotic American citizens—the two gentlemen united their forces for the prime object of lifting the burden of ignorance in the South Mr. Campbell wanted a Negro to undertake the work, and General Armstrong knew of at least one Negro who could do the work. These three far-sighted men, agreeing on a united purpose for the common good of humanity, began a cooperation which has been strikingly characteristic of Tuskegee Institute, and a co-operation vitally necessary for the permanent betrayment of the Negro race in our country. Moral and Material Support The Tuskegee Institute, from the very beginning, has had a moral and material support and backing from Mr. Campbell and other white people in community. Without which this institution no one knew and apprehended more than did Mr. Washington, and no one would have been more grateful than he was. There were also colored men who stood loyally by the founder of Tuskegee Institute in those early days in "Up from Slavey." Dr. Washington fittingly says: "The most men I all the difficulties which I have met get along with the school started, and once then through a period of nineteen years there are two men among all the many friends of the school in Tuskegee whom I have developed and taught to the undigging and the understanding of these men, from whom I have taught anything in vain. I move on them simply as types, the same as the other, the same as the holder, the other is a black man and an slave, Mr. Lewis Adams. I do not know two more men, and I judgment I would feel more like follower and that concerns the life and development of the man than that of these two men." as to say, Mr. Wright W., has stood by Dr. Washington. and the school with the same devotion and sacrifice as did his noble father. I might mention also such men as Mr. Here and scores of others who shared the same devotion and people in the county and state who were also very kind, sympathetic and generous in those early days of this school, and I am glad to announce that the experimental seed of this new co-operation which was planted in 1881, by Mr. Campbell, and which durably thirty-six years, and widely matured by Dr. Washington, has grown into a genuine reality in racial co-operation and helpfulness here at Tuskegee. It has far exceeded the usual amalgamine expectations of fifty years ago. If your hair is short, thin, falling out or breaking off, you should not delay, but write at once for: MME. C. J.

This unselfish working together of the white and colored races was truly of very great importance, but it was of equal importance to prove what was wrong with the Negro race. Whether there could be developed within the Negro race any forceful, unemotional, business-like, harmonious working together. This was a mooted question, and one about which there is little sympathy skepticism even among our own people. Dr. Washington, believing as he always and in the possibilities of this race, set out to prove that the Negroes could work together in educational as well as in business organizations. The success which those who compose the membership of the National Negro Business League have had, was to him a reward of genuine satisfaction for the people. Results of Consecration. While he always sought the advice, criticism and help of the white race, he drew the "color line" when it come to his work. How well he succeeded is too self-evident for comment. These grounds and buildings, the consecrated lives and work of the men and women whom he consecrated, are a significant and convincing evidence of the wisdom of his course. I think now of suc hworkers of Mr. Lewis Adams and Mrs. Adela Hogan who like the fight." We have with us still such faithful workers as Mr. Warren Logan and Mr. John Washington who were willing with Dr. Washington to be honest and faithful days—these, my friends, with many others of the pioneer as well as the present days, because of their service and sacrifice, have made possible the Tuskegee University, not the grounds and buildings, not even this splendid body of students, but transcending more significant and beautiful, they gave us the "Tuskegee Spirit of co-operation and consecration." This spirit was not and it could not be confined to this campus. It is equally as manifest in the lives and work of the thousands of graduates from this school. J. Edwards, W. H. Holtzclaw, Eden A.

Dr. Washington's idea of education appeared so simple, so unconventional, and even unacademic, so vastly different from that of an education Institution, that he was E. a misunderstood. His methods and no hives. Loseome quarters, were candidly questioned by honest people of his own race. This feeling took such form as would discourage and hamper an ordinary man, but with Dr. Washington, who was truly a prophet and a leader, was able to spur him on to greater and more persistent efforts. When it was said that he did not approve of higher education on or by him, was that he was the only employment, here at Tuskegee, to more Negroes with college training, than any other single institution in the land. The fact that he was trustee of Howe, that he was trustee of Tukah University, that he was in accord with suh work. Education was to him the means only, and not the end. The end was to teach him to be a man. The trifle Negro who was earnestlyonging for a chance. Dr. Washington cared little about the kind of education the Negro received, but he was concerned that the school was thorough and well-suited to his reasonably immediate needs. The truth is, the need of industry and skill, of education, of training, of and decent homes, the imperative necessity for better methods of farming, together with the wonderful lack of morality which was so prevalent in the Negro community. Negroes-all girls' made such a strong persistent appeal to him that any system of education which did not offer immediate relief for these masses comparatively little impinged on him. The Tukegee Spirit Dr. Washington worked out a plan of education at Tuskegee which showed that the training of the mind should strengthen and supplement the physical abilities of those were fitting themselves for leadership. This system of allround education for larger service, which has so effectively been carried on under his direction, has been used to educate that it has attracted the attention and respect of educators all over the land. We worked out here a system of correlation of work and study, of industrial and educational education and complete and as satisfactory as possible the found anywhere. Important and as satisfactory as this system was, however, the spirit back of it was even more important than was the spirit of co-operation between the workers in the school and white citizens outside of the school, and a conscription for the relief of mankind everywhere in Alabama in Macon County, the State of Alabama, and the nation. "We Can Do It." "We Can Do It." No greater or more serious responsibility was ever placed upon the Nero than is left us here at Tuskegee and the ravity of the duty that we have assigned, the principal and the teachers in the forwarding of this work cannot be over-estimated. Along with his responsibility, we have a rare opportunity to help in the solution of a great problem, the Human Race problem, not merely changing the indices of life and the ideals of a race.

While there is great encouragement in the fact that seventy per cent. of the Negro population can read and write, the Negro seventy per cent. of the Negroes are really and truly educated. Our progress in this country has been wonderfully leaping; but stiffness disease, inefficiency, and crime are entirely too prevalent among our people. Color and conduct still count in this question, but remembrance that conduct counts more than color. General Armstrong, Dr. Washington, and Dr. Frissell, with the support and influence of such Southern men as Mr. Campbell, have shown us how to perplexing questions may be solved. If we follow the course mapped out here, we shall have the hearty co-operation and support of as distinguished, as wise, as unselfish and as unassuming, as well as as found anywhere in this land. I refer to the Board of Trustees of this Institute. Not only so, but we shall have also the cordial help and sympathy of our students, from its Excellency, Governor Hentlerson, and Superintendent Fearn, who honor this occasion by their presence, to the humble citizen in this country. The whole country, too, with our students, and unselfish. I again repeat, our responsibility is great and our opportunity a tremendous one. We should measure up to our responsibilities and our opportunities, and we can do it! We should be bluff, sham, or bombast, not by slippant fault-finding, not by shrinking at difficulty, or shirking at duty, not by the cherishing of prejudice against the people or black people can the Traskee Institute live and prosper. In order that this institution shall continue to carry forward the ideas and ideals of its noble founder, in order to serve its noble founder, in service to the state and the nation, in order that we shall keep the respect and confidence of the nation, we must strengthen between white and black students, teachers, graduates, and students, use every opportunity and strive in every reasonable way to develop their strengths between white and black students. We must unselfishly co-operation which has characterized the Tuskegee Institute from its very beginning. Second, we must develop a strong sense of unselfish devotion, follow the methods of education which, in this school, is so distinctive, so unique, and so helpful. Third, we must conserve our students. Fourth, we must work as instruments in God's hands for the training of black men and women for service, in whatever capacity, our fellowmen. Fourth, there must be our bakerlermen. Fourth, we must all work absolutely together. In his last talk from this platform, Dr. Washington spoke on the value that education and teamwork have that obliterate academic and administrative every department, and in every phase of the work should practice more than ever before, teamwork, emphasizing success. If teamwork was necessary in this school under the leadership of Dr. Washington, how much more imager is now that we have not the help and inspiration of his words and presence. If we are to be true to the great and sacred trust, if we are to carry out the aims and purposes of Booker T. Washington's institution, we must each cherish and maintain the spirit which has always permeated the life and work of this school—the spirit of self-forgetfulness and the spirit of the "Tuskegee Spirit"—the spirit of Co-operation and Consecration. It is only in this spirit that the Tuskegee University student can continue to render-service to Negro, to the state, and to the nation. I cannot more, but fittingly or forfaitly, remember these remarks than to use these words in Washington's last Sunday evening talk. "We want to have teamwork," said Dr. Washington, "but only in the direction of all, highest of all, we want to have teamwork in our spiritual life, in our spiritual preaching service, in every devotional exercise. We can get it by each one for us, perfectly, all that stands in the way of perfect teamwork."

POLICE REFUSE TO ARREST WHITE LOVER PADRICHE, KY—Discovering his wife in a room with a white man, Herbert Mitchell, Llewitt Prichte, a Negro, had a bench warrant sworn on the white grocery store, but the police officers refused to serve it. Prichte came from work and his wife was not at home. He went to the home of Halle Owens, his wife's girl friend. The door was not locked and Prichte walked into the house. In a room she had found his wife and the white man. When he attempted to uphold his wife she indignantly called him down for trying to reprimand her before a white man and ran out for a policeman to have her husband arrested. The woman, it appears, had drinking and the house leaving the couple in the room, thinking she had locked the door. TOO PROUD TO DRILL WITH NEGRO WORKERS The following story comes from Brownson on good authority, although the names of the participants are somewhat mixed, among the many men employed were two whose complexion marked them as of other than the white race. Both were porters, one at $12 and the other at $15 per week. When the movement for prepared employees demanded the management decided that the entire force should attend a neighboring army for drill. Despite the reluctance of the two colored employees to participate in the demonstration, they were told to report the same as the others. On their test appearance they were told that they too early in the day date was used for their enrollment. On their second appearance they were told that they had been assigned to Company A, and to await the call for Drill. When Company A was called only one to respond were the two Negroes. At this plain evidence of segregation a wave of embarrassment seemed to envelop the official in charge of the performance; as well as the onlookers who filled the galleries. So Company A was excused from drill. The sequel was that on their return to the theater one of the rejected recruits was promoted to the status of mechanic at $18 per week and the other to head porter, while two new colored employees were added to the payroll Query. Did the race gain or lose by the transaction? WAITER KILLS WIFE FORMER NEW YORKER CHICAGO, IL—Arthur (Jack) Gardner, 343 Wabash avenue, killed his wife and committed suicide while in a jealous rage.

THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1915 THE CONDITION Public men are as a rule better measured by their deeds than by their words alone. Platforms are mostly made as a means of entrance into public office, as well as to public carriers. It therefore will be necessary for the delegates to the Republican National Convention, convening at Chicago June 7, to scrutinize carefully the careers of the various candidates for the Presidential nomination. Especially is this true of the representatives of the Negro race, who are entitled to a voice and vote in that body. Let them carefully consider the claims of the various candidates, with special reference to their records for square dealing, when the question of human rights has been at stake. Let them see whether performance has followed upon promise, or whether the record is one of words alone. Many a public man has climbed up the political ladder on, rounds of promises of a square deal and opportunity for race advancement which have proven but empty phrases for his hearers. Unless promise has resulted in performance, as proven by the public record of such aspirants they cannot be trusted to go higher up, even to the highest trust in the land. Let the records of the fair seven friends, of the race, who have occured skated positions as Governor of Senator in New York, or Ohio, or any other State, be exposed to the clear light of truth, and their public policy of omission or commission calmly considered. If the performance squares with the promise, if words have been translated into deeds, then support of their candidacy will be justified. Otherwise, they should be relentlessly opposed. Much of value has been lost to the race in the past four years. Unless the record of the nominee gives a guarantee of regaining these lost rights and opportunities the fight will be in vain so far as we are concerned. Let our delegates grasp the situation and realize that it is a condition that confronts us, not a theory. INDUSTRIAL ASSET INDUSTRIAL ASSET.

Rash, vice president of the Kentucky Manufacturers' Association, paid the following tribute to Negro labor: "Experience has shown that when given the opportunity for gainful employment under just and fair conditions and only rarely in every way his value as a workman but above all there is cultivated in his mind and heart that now too rare feeling of deep interest in and loyalty to his employer. When the Southern Negro works for a corporation he calls it 'my company' and never has a bomb been found in his hand nor has he ever been branded as an anarchist. In advance of the Negro's industrial progress he has his moral and educational development. In the light of these conditions is there not good reason to consider the Southern Negro as one of the South's greatest industrial assets?" These are good words and they are true words. Perhaps the white South will never realize what a valuable, industrial asset the Negro is until it begins to lose him. DEMOCRATIC EXTRAVAGANCES The Democrats are making a congressional record for extravagance. The Fifty-first Congress was called by the Democrats, who were then out of power, a billion dollar Congress. Thomas B. Reed, the Speaker of the House replied that this was a billion dollar country. But the Sixty-third Congress has cost the country a total of $2,231,055,150, which is double VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR CHANCE FOR HUMANITY.

Last week a mob of several hundred men stormed the county court house in Waco, Texas, and seized Jesse Washington, a Negro boy, 18 years old, upon whom the judge had just pronounced sentence to be hanged for murder, dragged him to the city hall square, and there burned him in the presence of fifteen thousand men, women and children. For this crime there was not the least shadow of excuse. The boy had been charged with the murder of a white woman. He had been found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. The mob took him out of the court house in the sight of the judge, the jury and the sheriff and burned him alive. The people who composed the mob that perpetrated this act of savagery and the mob that witnessed it feel themselves superior to the Mexicans across the border, but they are not only lower in the human scale than Mexicans, but lower than any other people who at present inhabit the earth; for not in Europe, nor Asia, nor Africa, nor South America, nor the islands of the sea could be-found a people so close to the brute but they would have done such a deed. In comparison with them, a crowd of Mexican bandits is a company of high-souled, chivalrous gentlemen. We talk about helping Haiti and Santo Domingo and Mexico to rise to a higher level of civilization and development; it is enough to make the devil gas in astonishment, seeing that we have in our own country such communities as Waco, Texas. In the presidential chair we have a man who is continually making fine phrases about "humanity" and "our duty to humanity"; let him speak a word against lawlessness in this country, as it is practiced against the Negro, and he will render a greater service to humanity than he can in writing notes to the Germans about sinking their enemies' ships.

Judge Gibbs of that state rendered a lengthy decision in which he held that the law does not apply to any schools except the public schools created and maintained by the state. That the application of the law as sought by the state would be a violation of constitutional rights, the court sets forth in the following language: Teaching is certainly a lawful business and an honorable calling. Can it be successfully said that its limitation in the manner succeeded as covered by the act in question would promote the health, safety, morals, or welfare of the State? I think not. It is contended that this legislation as applied to private schools is decided class legislation. Has a white teacher any the less right to sell his books to Negro pupils than a white doctor to Negro parents or a white lawyer to Negro clients, or a white merchant has a right to sell his goods to Negro customers, and vice versa? Such a classification is certainly not based upon any natural reason. A study of the act and the authorities convince me that section 1 of Chapter 6490, Laws of Florida, 1913, if construed to apply to private schools is said to such schools because its operation so construed would tend to prevent no offense or evil or to preserve the public health, morals, safety or welfare, that it is an invasion of the rights secured by the fundamental law in that it amounts to class legislation depriving teachers of privileges which are not denied to any other class of citizens and it will prevent the misuse of the public health by the citizen to be free in the enjoyment of all of his faculties and be free in the use of them in all lawful ways when they do not infringe upon the equal rights of others. This decision kills the obnoxious law in Florida, and shows that similar laws in other Southern states can be killed. It not only allows the Catholic sisters at St. Augustine to go on with their work, but also removes the menace from the institutions which have been founded and are maintained by Northern philanthropy. We are glad to see that Judge Gibbs did not attempt to release the sisters on any legal technicality, but that he faced the question squarely, and declared the arrest illegal and the law invalid.

So now that he was prone always to in statement of fact would have that even his rhetorical figures The following article from The New Republic will interest those who are already interested in the study of English as it is written. One of President Wilson's popularities as a writer is beautifully illustrated by this but from his Jefferson Day speech, "When I see the crust even so much as shulters back over the back of a population which has always been under a board of trustees. I make up my mind that I will thrust not only my arm but my heart in the picture, and that only by crushing every ounce of power that I can use shall any man ever close that opening up again." The advantage which the population would gain by having such a desirable breath-hole stopped the pressure in the body would be figurative language easier to understand if we visualize it, if we imagine President Wilson thrusting arm and heart up or down into a hole in some cane pie crust, beneath which a population has been home like four and twenty blackholes. The picture grows a little less baffling if we conceive the presidential heart as worn on the presidential sleeve. Even so, it is hard to get that board of trustees into the picture. They sit on top of the crust, or where? It was just about four years ago that the New York World pronounced Woodrow-Wilson "the greatest living master of the English language." Since that time the President's reputation as a master of English has been somewhat punctured. Some time ago the country came to know that he was prone always to use a rhetorical figure where a plain statement of fact would have been better; now we are finding out that even his rhetorical figures are faulty. the expenditures of the Fifty-first which the Democrats condemned. Of course, those who have followed the present Congress know that much of the national treasure is being used to fatten the South. Perhaps the country had just as well let it go, because it will be a long time before the South gets another such chance at the trough. A novel plan is on foot in Florida to get out of the primary election dilemma. As The Age stated several weeks ago, the Democratic leaders in Florida have devised a primary election law calculated to make a close corporation of politics in that state. Just now the law is working backwards, because the primary elections are called for June 6, and the Democratic Convention meets in St. Louis June 14; the Florida primary law is so complicated that official returns of the election cannot be made before June 17 or 18; so there is small probability of Florida having a delegation at St. Louis.

The plan is to have all the candidates for delegates draw lots to see which twelve will represent the state. All of those who are eliminated in the drawing are to forward letters of withdrawal to the Secretary of State, through the Attorney General, who will supervise the drawing, and in this manner the twelve lucky candidates will be automatically elected without the necessity of holding an election. "Tis a clever plan, isn't it? But the resources of some sections cannot be overestimated, when it comes to making a law and then getting around it. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHAT MANNER OF MAN FOR NOMINEE, To the Editor of The New York Ace: To the Editor of the肩锁 of another National Republican, and the burning question of the hour to us; as colored Republicans, is the Mexican and German problems, but what man is the nominee for the Republican Presidency, so far as the colored other than Col. Rossevelt, little is known of the other candidates based on this all important question. Justice Kughes, who was Governor of New York for four years, had ample opportunity to show his friendliness to our people, but never a move of consequence, as but never a move of same can be said of your present Governor, Mr. Whitman—a dark horse. Colored Republicans should realize that, politically, as well as spiritually, the Brother's keeper. The man like New York, the man like New York, William H. Lewis of Boston, Tom Fleming of Cleveland, Carey and DePriest of Chicago, and others whom I might name, should see the delegates and alternates to the Republican National Convention, and the newspapers could not get together during convention week and formulate some plans and put the same up to the responsible heads of the Republican party so plainly but positively that for all Lilys-whitman and his kludge. Take the sight of Mr R. R. Church in Tennessee; the same result should have been accomplished in several other states. New York, Ohio, New York, and Tennessee should have won in Ohio. One will say that it was Church's money. While we are delighted that he has it, set it was not his money per se that won that fight; it was his courage to fight. He was given the occasion given him by the colored men in Tennessee—his erstwhile enemies, as well as his friends. The press and colored man in the north, from any angle slewed, have a chance to see him. And it is up to them to get busy at one and take the initiative in the light that will bring us into our own.

M. E. Church having decided upon the election of two men to that high office. The election occurred on Thursday, the fifteenth day of the twentieth quadrennial conference, the following consuming the entire (43). On the third ballot the Rev. William Wesley Bectett of South Carolina received 277 votes, the Rev. Isaac Nelgson of Baltimore, 312, the number necessary to beat long 300. Dr. Beckett and Dr. Ross were declared elected. The Rev. W. J. Johnson St. Georgia, an uninduced candidate, received 200 votes, while the Rev. W. A. Pountain, also of Georgia, and endorsed by the conferences of that State, received 173. Rev. Bectett was born in South Carolina, and except for four years in New York as missionary secretary, has lived practically all his life in that State. He is president of Allen University at Columbia, S. C., the school from which Bishop, Ross is a native of Tennessee and has posted some of the largest characters in the denomination. He came to the influence from Ebenezer A. M. Moore in Baltimore. E. Caucher The groups-elect were ordained on Sunday with impressive ceremonies, which took more than three hours. Taking part in the services were Bishop B. L. Foster (retired), Bishop Evans Three Times, Charles S. Smith, Bishop L. J. Coppin, Bishop C. T. Shafer, Senior Lostb B. F. Lee, Bishop H. B. Patterson and Bishop J. S. Flpper. Senior Bishop Benjamin F. Lee presented the ordination sermon and took attendance of the opportunity to denounce the injustice, divorce and the law of abuse by ministers: Bishop Bossy was presented for ordination by Ress P. J. Chavis, D. A. Christie, D. A. Ingrassag, W. F. Rice, L. R. Karno and George F. Woodson, Bishop Ress was presented by the Reys, H. Y. Arnett, J. W. Norris, M. R. Bye, J. D. Dickerson, C. S. Williams and R. V. Branch. Bishop Beckett was ordained by Bishops B. F. Lee, H. Blanton Park and J. S. Flipper. Bishop Koss was ordained by Bishops Evans Trevett, Charles S. Smith and C. T. Stuifer. The discussion from the Central Tentative Conference was unsecured because it was claimed that the last quadrennial conference dissolved that conference and it had been reorganized without regard to the rules of the church. The Ken J. O. Roeinson of Pine Bluff, who had been charged with receiving financial advances to champion the invitation to C. L. Roosevelt to address the conference, concurred himself in a strong green line charges against Bishop Louisa A. Jones, embracing maladministration and misappropriation of money at the N.Y. Episcopal district, were found to be supported by the evidence. The bishop was found guilty and the committee recommended that he be publicly reprimanded. The election of general officers was held on Saturday. All incumbents were selected, as follows: John R. Hawkins, Washington, D. C. financial secretary, R. C. Ransom, New York editor of the A. M. E.

Y.-After a strong fight by opponents to the election of missionary bishops for Africa, the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church decided to retain the missionary bishops and to elect a Negro to succeed Bishop Isaiah Benjamin Scott, who voluntarily retired after twelve years of service in Liberia, although he could have continued in service twelve years more. The balloting began on Monday. The first, showed the Rev. Alexander P. Camphor leading by so large a majority, although he lacked the two-thirds vote necessary to elect, that other candidates voluntarily retired and on the first ballot taken Tuesday morning he was elected, receiving 706 of the 736 votes cast. He will assume charge of the work in Liberia, west coast of Africa, relinquished by Bishop Scott. Bishop Camphor was born in Louisiana, August 9, 1865, and was educated at New Orleans University, Columbia University, New York, and the University of Chicago. The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred on him by Columbia University. In 1895 he was married to Miss Mamie Westers of Woodville, Mo. He was vice-consul at Monrovia, Liberia, from 1902 to 1907, and in 1908 was elected president of the College of West Africa at Monrovia. He gave up this work, to return to America and accept the presidency of Central Alabama College, Birmingham, Ma, which position he holds at present. The Rev. Eben S. Johnson of Stout City, la., was the white missionary bishop elected for the remainder of Africa. Bishop Johnson was born in England fifty years ago. The general conference has adopted a plan for the unification of the northern Methodists with the _M. E. Church, South, which provides for the setting of the question in 1918. In order that prejudices of the southern Methodists might be overcome the plan embraces the forming of a supreme general conference with a number of subordinate quadrennial conferences, one of which is to be composed of the Negro members only. The Rev. John F. Goucher, president emeritus of Goucher College, Baltimore, speaking in favor of the plan, said the Negroes would have their interests protected and would have an opportunity to solve their own problems. He said: "They have never had the privilege of making their own mistakes. Mistakes have been many, but they have been made for them by others." This does not mean that Negro bishops will be elected, however, as the northern Methodists have already decided against full-fledged Negro bishops and there is no hope whatever that the southern Methodists will be favorable. The Negro conference will, therefore, be presided over by a white bishop. GENERAL OFFICERS OF A. M. E. Z. CONFERENCE LOTSVILLE, Ky--Following the election of four bishops, the general conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church proceeded to the election of its general officers.

NATIONAL RELIGIOUS colored people, you cannot rise by putting some one else down, all of you must learn to see the good and not the bad in our fellow men. Be a booster instead of a knocker. The money you are going to spend this summer should be given to this institution. Do you know of the thousands, of dollars spent to rid this school of indebtedness, not one dollar has been contributed by the colored people? This will not do. Some day you will know the names of the two people who have given these large amounts. When you do know, honor them as long as you for without them all the day. Do not an adult your children would not have been possible. From this day I believe every person white and colored, in Durham will be proud of this institution. I know that it has the best wishes and sympathy of the white citizens." Benefactors in State of New York. Dres. E. Shepherd arose and said: "You have just listened to the wonderful announcement of our treasurer. In the outset I desire to express to him my grateful appreciation for the care, patience and ability he has shown in working out difficult problems. I have never been able to realize that the National Religious Training School is now able to say how much he servant depart in peace for I have seen the glory of the Lord," but I am asking Him to rules the budget just enumerated by the treasurer amounting to $232,000, and then if it is His will I can say it. Up in New York State there is a noble and generous woman and her wise counselor. Their hearts are listening for the sound of gladness springing from your hearts. These two live only for the God that rules above them and that the subject can do. It is the opportunity of this institution has been guaranteed. They have never seen it, but the story of its struggles and possibilities made them determined that it should live. I wish I could make the names of these two known to-day, but it is their earnest desire at present that they remain unknown save to a few.

Every large item of current expense for this term, the money for the improvements and for the school's indebtedness has been given by these two friends. The Board of Trustees, will not meet until the fall, owing to the absence of our beloved chairman, Gen. Julian S. Curr. When the Board meets proper steps will be taken to render to these two friends the thanks of the officials of this institution." Dr. Shopphard said we will be trained for our future to begin, the officials hope to have a well-equipped modern theological department where men are taught the practical value of Christianity as applied in home, church and community life. Second—the establishment of settlement social centers. Third—the establishment of a well equipped teachers training department which will meet the needs of both the rural and city teachers. In addition, it is planned to hold a conference of teaching the methods of Christianity. This is an important by which advancement is expected through studying together the methods of improving the general educational condition of the Negro. A conference of ministers will be held during the month of February at which session, the whole problem will be studied from the moral and spiritual viewpoint. These two conferences are made possible through the generosity of our two friends already mentioned. I urge upon the people of my race assist in raising this my own problem. In our white friends will be encouraged to continue helping us along educational lines." General Carr Writes Letter. At this juncture a letter from General Julion S. Carr, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the school, was read. The letter follows: I genuinely and deeply regret that a very important and previous engagement prohibits my attendance upon the commencement exercise. If it were in my power I would be delighted to be present. It is my judgment that Dr. Shephard deserves the encouragement and assistance of every one in the community who is interested in the school he is attending for co-education race. There is a demand for such a school and it should be properly supported. Too much of the work has been left for the president to do and how, under the circumstances, he has accomplished all that he has, I can hardly understand. There is a limit to human endurance and I for one feel that the president should have come to it ourselves to show more substantial friendliness to Dr. Shephard and give him and his school a more cordial and liberal support. 'All for one, and one for all is a motto that I would command for your consideration. My encouragement and support if the school in the past is a token for my school in the future will work. I sit is that we should to sustain Dr. Shephard and forward his most worthy school, should find a cordial and liberal response. Those who have nothing more to give should not begrudge the President a kindly word of encouragement, which to one in his position and burdened as he must necessarily be, to give him a great opportunity to aid a struggling race to better its conditions. It is very satisfying to me that I have stood by the school in season and out, miss a great opportunity to aid a struggling race to better its conditions for the school from those who are able to give. Never lose sight of the fact that every little helps. I feel that the school is in its history, and while I am not in position to speak from observation, owing to my continued absence from the state, I be burdened by the need for the school's best work. In conclusion I beg to help the President to bear his arduous labor and to help the school that it may yet do better work and serve a larger patronage. With an assurance of my continued interest in Dr. Shephard and in the welfare of the School, I have the honor to remain. JULIAN S. CARK President, Business Gynee, The Dollars Dr. Shephard announced that Gen. Julian S. Carr has pledged to give $1,000 toward the current expenses of this school during next term. The announcement of such good news moved Dr. J. R Dudley, president of the A, and T College, Greensboro, to move that a committee be appointed to draw up suitable resolutions of thanks to Gen Carr for his liberal gifts and past aid given this school. The writer offered an amendment to this motion by saving "In recognition of this most liberal gift I motion that we rise and sing: 'Praise God from Whom All Blessings How.' The audience arose and sang with a zeal that made the welkin ring. Eight candidates for graduation stood before the rostrum and received their diplomas from Dr. N. E. Dellinger of Greenbore, who took occasion to deliver a few appropriate words of warning as to what they will meet in their struggles through life. The rewards of merit were delivered by C.C. Spaulding, who congratulated the students on the progress they have made. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell was asked to speak to the graduates, which she did meritoriously in telling the class that Dr. Shephard had dreamed dreams of this school and set about to bring his dreams true, and well he has done so. She said: "As you branch out into the world, you must dream dreams and then set about to bring those dreams into fruition as your president, Dr. Shephard has done." Dr. Spiller, pastor of Mount Vernon Baptist Church, offered prayer at the opening of the exercises Dr. E. M. Brawley offered prayer with benediction Dr. Shephard's Address to Graduates. Dr. Shephard's Address to Graduates. "Young men and young women, the time has come for you to go out into the world to test your own powers and to put into practice the lessons learned here. It is the only way you can load your own with eleventh hour advice. It is fitting, however, that I call your attention to some of the things told you in the very beginning and which every day has been stressed in the class room by your teachers and in precept and example, ever before you. The years of training here were old and you gather strength for larger loads, to arouse latent powers and fit you for service to God and your fellowmen. If your training here has not done this I fear it has been a failure. All education is given to you not simply for the purpose of making living, but or service for your fellowmen and then your own. He has particularly and wonderfully fixed it so that you cannot serve Him except by rendering service to your fellowmen and after this then of themselves other things will be added. I would not have you go out with a desire to be leaders except by and thus service. Superiority of mind and success of people is and true requirements of leadership. The Master said, "He who would be great let him be a servant of all" Newspapers, individuals, or ones own choosing cannot make leadership, but as you realize the principles laid down above and see in what way you can render the largest possible service to your church, your country and your god a grateful people will proclaim you a leader and that is the only true way. As you go forth it is necessary for you to show to the world that you have been properly trained. You can do this first, by unfailing courtesy and genuine politeness. Second, by esteeming work. God is a working God, and when the heir of all the ages, Iis only son, came into the world. He boasted of the fact that, My father worketh for a carpenter or a bookkeeper and no work in that particular line can be found, but there is an opening for another hand in digging a ditch rather than be an idler seek for that opening. Apply the knowledge learned in mathematics so as to dig the ditch with more beauty than the other follow and before very yong you will find yourself a bookkeeper for the gang and a bookkeeper for you and you will be before you realize it lifted into leadership. Do with thy might what, thy hands find to do. Real success never yet was handed to anyone imbled in cotton. It is a plant of slow growth and, often is watered with tears and enriched with great sacrifices. It is not a matter of inheritance either. You work out your own salvation with fear and trouble and so with success you through principles and oftentimes hardships. I am listened to a symphony of one hundred and fifty instruments. Every one in perfect harmony and as I listened the thought come to me that the perfect accord cost hours of work. There is no easy path leading upwards. The very words climbing success an output of energy. You will find many occasions arising as you go out which will require on your part the exercising of wonderful self-control and patience. You will wonder if you will be burdened by a bearer of all. It is simply a process of development. Individuals and races have to go through the same process.

It was, however, a divine plan to have a leader to take care of that through it and from it would come a leader who would lead a people across the Red Sea, into a promised land. He had been schooled in patience and in humility. He had been taught all the wonders of nature and could read the signs of God in the heavens and learned through adversity and affection what he could never have learned in prosperity. Mazzard, the great Italian patron, held ever as the priest. Not my voice, but my duty. He many, my right, my patient and watchful; through it all work out a great salvation. He reliable and thorough in every good work. Finally, never forget the God of our Fathers. Never be ashamed of religion or afraid to express the reason for the faith that is within you. The religion of Jesus is the most priceless legacy you can have, a consolation in trial situations, a friend all the time, the beacon of warmth, lodge our of the darkness into the marvelous light. If you would know how to be obedient, how to be patient, how to be reliable, thorough, trustworthy and true, how to walk and not faint, how to run and not be weary, how to conquer and win, when oppressed on every hand, then I pout you to the greatest, text book you would read, to the most holy Bible. Read it daily. No man or woman, whatever race or nationality, is thoroughly educated until he knows that Book. It is a custom of this institution to give each graduate a copy of the great text book I mentioned above, so I present to you the book, your guide, thy light, thy staff, thy teacher, your mother sends you forth, her beloved children, and as you go may God go with you.

St. Mark's Church Choir Gives Creditable Concert Before Large Gathering Monday . THE NEW YORK AGE, ONCE upon a time devotees of the church concert used to divorce themselves from their spare change to hear Brother Boxley's boy painfully recite about the youth who stood on the burning deck, and it fell their lot to spend what seemed hours of torture listening to Sister Simpson's Susie sing(?) a ballad—one rendered with such feeling that oittimes tears of joy would spring from the eyes of some of Susie's auditors when she had bowed her last bow. But things have changed greatly since then; and those who were fortunate to gain admittance to St. Mark's M. E. Church Monday evening and enjoy the concert given by the church ```markdown ``` E. Aldama Jackson, choir director- organist. choir were brought to a realization of the wonderful strides the church concert has made along artistic lines. It was the fourth annual choral program presented by the St. Mark's M. E. Church choir, and the occasion was a big one in many respects. E. Aldama Jackson, choir director and organist, and his co-workers had every reason to expand their chests a few more inches, for it was the most successful concert given in the history of the choir. St. Mark's M. E. Church never held a larger crowd. Every nook and corner of the church edifice was occupied, and nearly five hundred persons were turned away. One sister, who came a trile late and was compelled to stand, after repeatedly complaining to a companion about the discomfort her pedal extremities were giving her, was heard to say: "They certainly ought to feel like singing before all this crowd." And "they" did sing. Seated on the chancel were over fifty singers, members of St. Mark's M. E. Church choir, and they presented a striking appearance, the female members dressed in white and the men in evening clothes. Back of the singers was stationed the Symphony Orchestra of the Martin-Smith School, fifty in number, under the direction of David I. Martin. In the ensemble numbers, which won first honors on the program, the combined efforts of the choir and orchestra produced an effect suggesting a finished performance given on the professional stage rather than a church concert in which many of the participants were amateurs. --- All the soloists of the evening conducted themselves with credit, capturing their respective shares of applause. Quite a promising singer is Mrs. Marie Anderson, who possesses a sweet voice of pleasing freshness; and while she was heartily applauded at the conclusion of her soprano solo, "Ah Roberto, tu che adora." I am of the opinion Mrs. Anderson's auditors would have preferred a song in English. Few in the audience spoke or understood other than the "United States." However, the point raised refers more to the question of judgment in selection than to voice. The popularity of Mme. W. O. Terrell and the appreciation shown for her work as a coloratura singer were attested by the profuse applause that greeted her at the close of her number, the "Shadow Song," one of the most difficult selections on the program. Mme Terrell is an important cog in the St Mark's M. F. Church, choir. She has a voice of much power which shows the result of training. Another soprano soloist to command favorable attention was Mrs. Hattie Reavis, who rendered "My Heart, at Thy Sweet Voice" intelligently and with expression. Mrs. Reavis has the stage presence of an experienced singer In Mr. Arthur Holder the St. Mark's M. K. Church choir has a lyric tenor of ability. In his selection, "When My Ship Comes Sailing Home," the only fault found in his rendition was his inclination to sing about "ships come sailing" instead of using the word "ship." Many promising singers pay too little attention to the words of a song. The second part of the program consisted of a concert performance of "Faust." Miss Minnie Brown (Margarita) lived up to her reputation of being one of the leading church soloists in New York, and was easily one of the artistic hits. Miss Ethel Clarke (Siebel), Mr. Charles H. Waters (Faust) and Mr. George W. Taylor (Mephistopheles) were heard to advantage and helped make the evening a gala one for the St. Mark's M. E. Church choir. Such ambitious and laudable efforts of E. Aldama Jackson and those associated with him in raising the standard of the church concert and also that of the church choir should be encouraged. Friendly comment and kindly suggestions are in order rather than biting criticism or uncalled-for deprecation. After Monday evening's big ovation to St. Mark's M. E. Church choir I feel confident Prof. Jackson was sufficiently inspired to keep up the good work. As to the program in general, my only personal criticism was one in which the executive heads were guilty of an error of omission, not commission. Not once was a spiritual or a Negro song rendered—songs which we can sing better and more effectively than all others. Probably this was an oversight. The program: PART I. 1.

Boston, Mass.—A large and representative audience greeted Mrs. Edna Brown Bagnall in song recital Thursday evening, May 18, in Haynes Hall, Franklin Square House.

Especially charming was her rendition of a group of songs by Harry Burleuch, which drew tothr enthusiastic applause. Mrs Bagnall was able assisted by Mrs Helen E. Hagan concert pianist, whose playing was most artistic Mrs. Clarence C. White was the accompanist. At Vanderbilt A. C. on last Monday night the star bout of the evening was to the Hicks vs. Leo Johnson, colored lightweight champion of the world, but Hicks being unable to appear, the club substituted Young Hines. He was no match for Johnson, but after taking a severe beating showed the fight fans that he is game. He was knocked down about seven times during the rounds, but was on his feet at the end. Johnson meets Young Hicks at this club on June 5 and Eddie Dorsey on June 12. In the other ten-round bout Darkey Griffin met Mark Spencer. As usual, Griffin showed that he can outpoint any of them when he is right, and at the end of the tenth round he deserved the decision. Weights of both boys, 123 pounds. In the semi-final Kid Bacon outpointed Kid Hoppy. Bacon had five rounds out of the six. At the Vanderbilt A. C next Monday night on the star bout Young Hicks, the colored welterweight champion, will meet Eddie Dorssey of Northampton, Mass. This bout should furnish plenty of excitement—the club will also stage two six-round bouts and three four-round bouts. At the Harlem Sporting Club on last Friday night the main bout came to an end in the fourth round, after Kid Cotton had fouled Rough House Ware, who refused to fight oh. The majority of those present saw the foul blow, but the referee, Kid McPartland, claimed he did not see it. The club doctor, who examined Ware, said there was no foul committed. But the protector, that Rough House Ware wore was dented. The bout up to this time was about even. In the other bout Wee Wear Barton gave ten pounds to Joe DeKnight and also a good beating. Barton carried all the fight to DeKnight and had him groove several times. The bell was welcomed by DeKnight at the end of the tenth round. There seems to be much talk of the fan being lifted and allowing mixed bouts. The fight fans claim that they are not getting a run for their money. THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1916. and Tomorrow Night these days when two white boys in With such fighters as Leo Johns Young Hicks, Charley Smith, Wee Barton and several others, the two boys will have to step some.

LINCOLN'S BIBLE FOR FISK UNIVERSITY NASHVILLE, TENN.-President F. A. McKenzie made announcement to the been received at Fisk University which presented to Abraham Lincoln by a delegation of colored men at Baltimore in 1804. The Bible is to remain in the permanent custody of the noted educational institution for Negroes, having been sent direct to President McKenzie Idlene, Manchester, Va., by Robert T. Lincoln, son of the former President. The book was received by the university at the chapel exercises Friday, but it is planned to have a special service later, when formal acceptance will take place. One of the speakers at the exerci- ture was S. Crosthawt, a local ardent risk supporter who first made the suggestion that the book be turned over to the school. President McKenzie, in making the announcement, read a number of letters that proved to be very interesting, and also delivered a short address, in which he declared that the gift would ever be received by a sacred trust. The book is to be used in the school only upon very solemn and important occasions, it is understood. President Lincoln, in accepting the gift from the colored people, was quoted as saying: "It is the best gift which God has ever given man. All the good from the Saviour of the world is communicated to us through this book. But for the book, we could not know right who gave us this gift. You return my sincere thanks for the very elegant copy of the great book of God which you present." If his letter to President McKenzie, Robert T. Lincoln, son of the great emancipator, said: "It has seemed to me better that this notable testimonial should be preserved in some institution where its resting place will be permanent, and I can think of no more fitting selection than the institution founded by Gen. Clinton Bowen Fisk, immediately preceded by the first service in the war which resulted in the abolition of human slavery in our country." President McKenzie also quoted from the speech of the Rev. S. W. Chase, the colored minister who acted as spokesman of the delegation which presented the book to President Lincoln. In part the Rev. Mr. Chase stated: "Since we have been incorporated in the American family we have been true and loyal, and we now stand ready to defend our country. We are ready to protect our country. We are trained in military matters in order to protect and defend the Star Spangled Banner. We come forward to present a copy of the Holy Scriptures as a token of respect to you for your active part in the cause of emancipation." INTERSTATE DOCTORS FORM ORGANIZATION JERSEY CITY, N.J. - At a meeting held at the residence of Dr. George A. Cannon, Pacific avenue, representatives present from the Academy of Medicine, Philadelphia; the Provident Medical Association of Brooklyn; the Manhattan Medical Association of New York and the North Jersey Medical Association of New Jersey, formed a temporary organization of the Inter-State Medical Association. It is proposed to hold a convention at Philadelphia on June 20-21, 1916, and the colored physicists of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts have been invited to become members of the interstate organization. Temporary office of the president, G. Cannon of Jersey City, chairman; Dr. Benj. Withers of New York, Secretary; Dr. Chas A. Lewis of Philadelphia, treasurer. The general committee is as follows: Dr. E. P. Roberts and Dr. D. C. Hoage of Philadelphia; Dr. D. Trumble of Lone Island; Dr. Chas Lewis of Philadelphia; Dr. Alexander and Dr. Robinson of New Jersey; Dr. Bradley and Dr. Porter of Connecticut. HOGAN-WILLISTON ARE WASHINGTON, D. C. -Charles Linkins, chairman of the board of elections for the state of Wisconsin, made the decision of that board reversing the turing of the returning board in the matter of the election of delegates to the National Republican Convention. The returning board declared the Hogan-Williston ticket elected by a majority of more than 4,000 votes, but the board of elections has declared this action null and void. The members acted on the returning board, instead of three as provided by law. The third position was vacant. The board of elections gave the certificate of election to the Müller-Chase ticket. In a letter to Frank J. Hogan, George C. Gertman, a member of the returning board which canvassed the original vote, declared that the had been vetted, and responsible for my appointment on the board, that although he knew the Hogan ticket had prevailed in all the precincts, the Müller-Chase ticket must have the certificate of the returning board showing their selection, and that therefore the returns must be canvassed behind closed doors so that this contemptible suggestion was vigorously resented by me and that the opening of the ballet boxes was public." Mr. Gertman declares that because of this the action of the board of elections was unjust, although it evidenced content for the certificate of the returning board. Other than declaring that the convention at Chicago is the proper forum to consider this matter, Mr. Linkins gives no reason for the reverence of the decision of the revered board to that the count of one member made its count mean "absolutely nothing." 59 TH ST. 316 West; 8 large, light room, bath, stairway 845, 314 West; 8 large, light room, bath, improvement, 835. FLORIDA SCHOOL LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL St. Augustine, FLA. In the circuit court of St. Johns county, Judge George Couper Gibbs ordered the release of the student who resisted for teaching Negro children, under the law recently passed by the Florida legislature which attempted to prevent white persons from teaching in schools conducted for Negro children. Judge Gibbs handed down an opinion in which he declared that the proposed law was unconstitutional in so far as it was attempted to make it illegal, not supported or maintained by public or State monies. The decision was handed down in the case of Sister Mary Thomasine, who declined to accept release upon her own recognition and who was technically under arrest in custody of Father J. A. L. Appleton in apologetics for J. W. of labes corpus. St. Sifter of St. John have been conducting a school for Negro children in a private building on DeHaven street for many years, the school being supported entirely by private funds. Three of the nuns were arrested April 24 by the sheriff, acting under instructions from Governor Trammell, who had been written to by parties in St. Joseph concerning the alleged violation of law by the Catholic teachers. Judge Gibbs' opinion nullifies the law that state universities of the State are concerned NEW ENGLAND HELPS THE WASHINGTON FUND Boston, Mass. At a meeting held in the Eleanor Baptist Church, Dr. C. A. Ward, pastor, an audience of one thousand contributed in cash and pledges the sum of $251.80 for the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. Frank P.

Harris, David E. Crawford, Mrs.-Nanine Coleman, Harry F. Carney, B. H. Oliver, Miss Haitie Young, Mrs. Margaret Carter, Mrs. Mary Luck, John H. Barkley, Jr. Charles E. Duncan.

NEW TRIAL FOR KILLING WHITE MAN Company, S.C. The new trial granted Logus Sanders will be heard next Wednesday. Sanders was tried in Richland county court last June for killing a white man, who, it is alleged, had insulted his wife, and was sentenced to be electrocuted June 12, 1915. His attorneys served notice at once of an appeal for a new trial which was granted. Consequently, the jury decided in this case by leading colored citizens, because it has such a hearing on the rights of a man to defend the integrity of his home. SEPARATE FIELD DAY IN ST. LOUIS St. Louis, Mo.-Negro children who attend the public schools of St. Louis are to have a Negro Field Day; rather to have all the children of our public schools. It is such orders and forms of discrimination that are stepping stones to the recently enacted segregation ordinance—one is by law, the other by consent or order of those in authority. Both will be strongly opposed by the citizens. "X is an unknown quantity, isn't it manma?" "It is to your father when I ask him to give me one."-Hattlmore American. PRESENT CONDITIONS IN WILMINGTON, N. C. WILMINGTON, N. C. The subjoined letter was written to THE AGE by Egbert Swindell, who left this town in 1898 because of the fortunate race friction which occurred in that year. He had not returned to Wilmington until this year. Mr. Swindell's letter is interesting in that it shows a condition of health activities in New York, in which was the scene of one of the worst outbreaks against the Negro the country has ever seen. His letter is as follows: For the first time in over fifteen years I am in my old home, having moved to New York since the unfortunate death of my brother, I seem to have getted back into their old grooves in almost every way, and in spite of general hard times, the Negroes are conducting business enterprises with those that I see in many more pretentious cities. There are several prosperous grocery stores, two drug stores, several electric shop teenagers, meat stores, and several mercantile activities showing thrift.

SPLENDID RELIEF WORK IN NASHVILLE Nashville, Tenn.-April 22 closed a month of significant relief work following the very disastrous East Nashville fire which in about four hours rendered destitute over 2,500 persons, more than half of whom were colored. Owing to the high wind the fire spread rapidly and most people lost everything the things upon their backs. But the generosity of the people saved the need. The white people contributed liberally, although they knew that the greater part of the help would probably go to Negro sufferers. Temporary relief of food and clothing days, led by the Gestational Club, the white business organization of the city, and the Negro Board of Trade, over $26,000 were raised among white and colored people and the task of re-establishing these families in homes with a minimum of housekeeping. April 22, 1914, relief committee of the Negro Board of Trade and the relief committee of the Commercial Club were able to report the task about completed after a month of friendly co-operation which marks a new period of racial good feeling and relief committee of the Negro Board of Trade was composed of colored men as follows: A. N, Johnson, chairman; T. Clay Moore, D. Wellington Berry, Dr. F. A. Stewart, Dr. J. B. Singleton, D. W. Crutcher and Dr. George E. Haynes, director of the staff of workers. This department from both white and colored capable for the efficient way it has been used the situation. Three hundred and one white families were investigated and helped and three hundred and twenty-four Negro families, comprising about 1,400 colored people. All were furnished alike with house goods bought at a store, lost from a charity or relief organization from a common shipping headquarters. Two hundred and forty-seven Negro families needed full household equipment, the remainder being furnished with food and clothing. For the colored people, this was made possible through the help of the department of Social Science and the senior class of Fisk University, with cooperation of the University and Industrial State Normal School, Meharry Medical College, and Roger Williams University. This work was under the direction of Paul Mowbray and Dr. Haynes. When she magitude of the task became evident the colored staff of workers under the auspices of the Negro Board of Education, affording adjoining the staff of the Commercial Club where they remained in cordial cooperation with the white staff until the end of the work. The work has been such as to call forth the praise of all. It has laid the foundation for greater racial co-operation in Nashville in meeting the needs of the community. A conference of white and colored people looking toward the organization of a public welfare league has been held. NEWS OF GREATER NEW YORK Miss Adolie Taylor of this city is in Chicago, Ill.
