Probability of Their Employment on Proposed Y.M.- Y.W.C.A.Homes. SECRETARY ORNE ON QUESTION City Board Official Expresses the Opinion That There Is a Decided Possibility of Using Negro Contractors and Mechanics. CONSIDERING THE The City Board will Give Consideration to Plans from Negro. Architects for Building for Colored Y. W. C. A., and There is a Possibility That There Will Be a Chance for Colored Architects on the Y. M. C. A. Building. Recent developments indicate very strongly that the planning and erecting of the new homes for the colored branches of the Young Men's and the Young Women's Christian associations will be the result of the brain and handiwork of Negro architects, contractors and artisans. In an interview, Secretary Henry M. Orne of the Y. M. C. A. City Board more than suggested this possibility to a representative of THE ACE. It is more than probable that plans for the women's building will be drawn by a firm of colored architects, the City Board now being engaged in consideration of their work. While tentative plans for the men's building have been submitted by white architects, Mr. Orne has suggested that plans from colored architects will be carefully considered before the final award is made. It is also a decided probability that colored contractors will be given every opportunity to erect the buildings, and thus, of course, will mean that the masons, carpenters, steel workers, and other artisans employed will be Negroes. Members of the rate in the construction industry so that accurate information will be had as to the number of men available for work. Secretary Orne has been informed of the desire of the colored people of New York that the buildings to be occupied by the colored branches of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. should represent not only their contributions but also mechanical and architectural ability. A good part of the $4,000,000 raised in the Y. M. C. A. building fund campaign was subscribed by Negro citizens. Of the amount subscribed by the race, many of the subscriptions' have been paid, many are being paid, and many more will be paid. There is and has been a strong hope that the City-Board would allow these buildings to be entirely identified with the race, and so make them representative of what the race is able to accomplish, not only financially, but in the mechanical arts as well. The site selected for the men's building is happily chosen, and its location will prove no small factor in the development of the branch. The women's building will be as advantageously situated. Subscribers to the fund will be appealed to for payment in the balance of amounts subscribed, and directors of both the men's and women's branches are that an immediate response will be had. Secretary Orne says that the outlook at this time is that it will be possible to break ground and begin work on the men's building this fall. Work on the women's building will follow as quickly as possible. It is reasonably certain that the buildings will not be delayed and it is very desirable that subscribers to the fund should send in delayed remittances at once.

FALL RIVER STEAMER "CREW SETS EXAMPLE One of the most significant contributions received from any source for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund was brought into the office of The New York Age on Tuesday, J. E. Townsend, a member of the pioneer crew of the famous steamer Priscilla of the Fall River Line, came in person and brought the sum of $56 which had been contributed by himself and sixty-two others, all members of the Priscilla's crew. An interesting feature connected with the contribution is to be found in the fact that many of the young men on the crew are striving during the summer to work and save enough money to pay expenses during the next school term. Most of the leading educational institutions of the country are represented, and the young men come from all sections of the country. Forty-nine young men contribute $1 each, two give 75 cents, ten give 50 cents, and two are down for 25 cents. To most of them this contribution means additional economy and saving, for in their effort to secure an education it is necessary that every penny be scrupulously accounted for. A Splendid Object Lesson. The action of the Pioneer Crew of the Prisella in making this contribution under conditions that, to some of them at least, means self-denial and extra exertion, will make for a splendid object lesson in race pride to members of the race in all sections of the country. And according to Mr. Townsend, who was the official courier of the crew, there was no necessity for solicitation. As soon as the list was opened and its object stated the response was unanimous and immediate. The names of the young men making this splendid contribution to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund are as follows: J. E. Townsend, $1; Paul Wallace, $1; S. Smith, $1; S. Jones, $1; J. B. Jones, $1; W. Barker, $1; J. Norman, $1; E. Tucker, $1; S. Hailman, $1; G.

CHILDREN GIVE TO WASHINGTON In many of the Sunday schools of New York and Brooklyn last Sunday the children were given a brize history of Booker T. Washington by members of the Women's Committee of the local campaign, and the Tuskegeean's five great virtues—honesty, efficiency, unselfishness simplicity and faith—were dwell on. Many children gladly contributed ten cents to the local fund and were given virtue cards on which was a picture of Booker T. Washington. The women's committee will report the amount it was collected in the Sunday schools as the result of its activities the past two Sundays at a meeting to be hell the latter part of this week.

Return care of Amsterdam News (L) AMERICA LEADS IN RECORD OF HOMICIDES Past Decade Shows Large Increase in Mortality from Homicidal Death. EXPERIENCE OF THIRTY CITIES F. L. Hoffman, Insurance Statistician Showa that Murder Rate Haa Reached the Alarming Proportion of 8.1 Per 100,000 of Population During Ten Years Ending 1914—Highest in South. Frederick L. Hoffman writing in The Spectator, a leading insurance paper, writes as follows concerning the alarming increase in the number of murders in the United States: It is an accepted principle of insurance law "that the insured is under an implied obligation to do nothing to wrongly accelerate the maturity of the policy." The general homicide problem in life insurance, however, rests rather upon the concept that society is in duty bound the leave obliterating indulgence to provide for the adequate security of the person, in conformity to the common law doctrine of the liberty of the subject. In consequence, however, of our national indifference to the very considerable annual loss of life by murder the insurance companies often suffer serious losses, the prevention of which lies largely outside of their field of operation and control. The approximate annual number of persons murdered in the United States at the present time may be conservatively placed at eight thousand. On account of a generally inadequate coroner's system and indifference on the part of many local boards of health to insist upon thoroughness and completeness in death certification, there are reasons for believing that the actual number of officially recorded homicidal deaths for the coroner's office is below the truth. There are other reasons for believing that improved methods of death certification, and more conscientious and thorough-gong coroner's inquests, would perceptibly increase the homicide mortality rate of American cities and the country at large. Indifference to Homicide Problem. There is at present a clearable in-ference to the moral and social aspects of the homicide problem in America, best illustrated by the statement that the murder frequency rate of thirty American cities, for which the returns are reasonably trustworthy, has increased from 4.8 per 100,000 of population during 1885-1894 to 8.1 during the ten years ending with 1914. With the exception of 1907 and 1913, the homicide rate of thirty American cities during 1914 was the highest on record during the last thirty years. The very slight decline of 0.1 per 100,000 of population last year cannot be considered of practical significance. The rate remains alarmingly high and suggestive of a thoroughly unsatisfactory state of affairs regarding the security of the person against deeds of violence in the worst possible form. The subject is of considerable interest and importance to life insurance companies, who are often called upon to pay claims on the lives of innocent victims of murder because of a deplorable state of affairs, which can neither be justified nor explained away. It is of the utmost urgency that the 'true seriousness, and moral as well as economic (Continued on page two) MOBILE MOB LEADERS Special to THE NEW YORK ACE MOBILE, ALA—Eleven white men were arrested on charges of rioting when a mob of about 500 surrounded the county jail in a disorganized and futile effort to lynch a Negro wanted for a crime committed at Toulminville. Governor Henderson ordered out the State troops under command of Colonel Maddox, and the city police force assisted Sheriff Holcombe and his deputies in dispersing the crowd Two of the white men were fined $50 and costs for having concealed weapons, and an ex-policeman was put in jail. Cases against others were continued. The sheriff was ordered by the governor to let no one in the jail and the militia was ordered to shoot anyone who attempted to break through the lines. Troops were left on guard at the jail, while others slept on their arms at the armory. The man wanted at Toulminville has not even been arrested. TEXAS BOY WINS HIGH HONOR FROM WHITES (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) WICHTA FALLS, Texas — Weel Welch of this city was the only Negro student in a class numbering more than four hundred at Armour Institute, Chicago, taking an electrical engineering course.

CATHOLIC BISHOP'S STRONG PLRA FOR LAW Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. ATLANTA, Ga.—The Rt. Rev. Benjamin Keily, Catholic bishop of Georgia, in an address to Southern survivors' of the Civil War, urged his audience, which included also a number of students from the white colleges, to unite in preserving law and, order in Georgia and to take a firm stand against lynching and mob rule. He quoted Henry W. Grady and Gen. Robert E. Lee, citing extracts which paid high tribute to the fidelity and law-abiding characteristics of the Negro. Referring to the dead soldiers of the Confederate army, Bishop Keily said: "Standing here to say by the graves of the men who died, I appeal to you to save the state for whose sake they died, from a worse enemy than reconstruction—the dreadful supremacy of mob rule. These men did not die in vain, for we are to lay enjoying the blessings of life, library, protection of our rights and property, and these blessings are menaced when law is weakened, and the unthinking men rules. "From his last resting place in old Virginia the voice of Robert E. Lee comes to us. I feel convinced that no one would countenance such outrage against law and orders; all will cheerfully submit to the administration of justice by the legal authorities, and I sincerely invoke the students to abstain from any violation of law and to unite in preserving quiet and order on this and every occasion. White Have Own Laws. "Gen. Lee spoke these solemn words when the State was under a military despotism which knew little and cared less for the orderly conduct of affairs and dispensed with the State law, for the so-called law of the camp, and yet under those circumstances he advised submission to the legal authorities. "We have to-day in Georgia our own laws made by our own representative, executed by our own elected officers, administered by courtin which sit our own Georgia judges. We have no excuse for lawlessness. It is well known that the victims of these lawless acts are for the most part Negroes. Henry Grady's Tribute to Negro. "Listen, my country man and country-women, to the words of Georgia's eloquent son, Henry Gray. "We remember with what fidelity for four years the Negro guarded our defenseless women and children whose husbands and fathers were rightly against him. To tell him that whenever he struck a man for his own liberty he ought to open battle and when at last he raised his black and humble hands that shackles might be struck off, those hands were innocent of harm against him, charges, and wounds to be taken in loving grasp by every man who honors loyalty and devotion." Perpetuate Freedom. "For the sake of the past, for love of the good cause which met defeat-fifty years ago, for the perpetuity of our freedom, hear and heed the solemn words of the great American, the stainless Christian gentleman—our own Lee. "All should cheerfully submit to the administration of justice by the legal authorities. I sincerely invoke them to abstain from any violation of their order to unite in prosecution and order on this and every occasion." GRAND CAPTER, O. E. S., HOLDS 21ST SESSION The Eureka Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, for the State of New York, held its twenty-first annual session at the Lafayette Hall 132d street Seventh avenue, June 5 and 6, with Mrs. Alice Campbell of Tarrytown, grand worthy matron, presiding.

College Course to be Extended, Leading Up to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts —The Rev. Edgar H, Gould Is the New Principal and the Rev. A. B. Hunter Is Named as Honorary President. (By T. L. McCoy.) RALEIGH, N. C.-Wednesday, May 31, saw the passing of the 1915-1916 session of St. Augustine School's Commencement. As a prelude to the commencement exercises, the Rev. Robert I. Johnson, of Bethoven, N. C., preached the baccalaureate sermon to the student body Sunday, May 28, at 5 o'clock p. m. in the school chapel. The Episcopal services were conducted by the Rev. William C. bishop of the diocese c3 North Carolina, assisted by the Rev. A. B. Hunter, principal, and the Rev. Edgar H. Goold, associate principal. The Rev. Mr. Johnson took as his text, Ronans 10:13—"Love worketh no ill to his neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." The speaker's easy poise, distinct articulation and gestures, captured his hearers early in the beginning of his discourse. For nearly three quarters of an hour he consumed in delivering his sermon, his clear diction and biblical applications of his subject, "Love," held his large audience almost spell bound. He said in part: "Love is greater than eloquence or knowledge." Quoting Tennyson, he said: "He who shuts out love, in turn, shall be shut out from love and on his threshold lie howling in utter darkness. The sermon contained many beautiful illustrations of the application of love. The Rev. Mr. Johnson is young-man, possesses a bright intellect, an easy flow of language and is well versed in bird love. Taylor hall wasowed to overflowing Monday, May 29, at 8 p. m. by parents and friends of the school to hear the students' musical program rendered.

With these she proceeded in an audible tone of good to explain and demonstrate how to cut and make wearing garments. A tinge she said, that ought to be learned by every girl before leaving school. Miss Brad said, "Ten millions of dollars are expended annually by housewives for the making of wearing apparel that could be saved were all girls taught how to cut, make and fit wearing garments." Nissie Harriet Stewart Boyer a college graduate and an essay "Education, the need of the hour." Nissie Boyer received many compliments for the richness of her own production as well as for the clear, distinct voice of delivery.

MACON, GA.-Under an Atlanta, Ga., date line, the *Macon Daily Telegraph* publishes an account sent from the *Telegraph's* Bureau, Kimball House, Atlanta, telling of the arrest of Burton Smith, one of the most prominent lawyers in Atlanta, and a brother to United States Senator Hoke Smith, the charge being assault on two little girls. The story declares that he was held for the Fulton county Superior Court under bond of $500. The case will be investigated by the grand jury. All parties concerned are white. The Macon paper's Atlanta correspondent telegraphed particulars of the case, showing that Burton Smith was charged with luring the two girls, one 10 years old and the other about 12, to his office in the Third National Bank building and there had mistreated them. None of the papers published in Atlanta have given any publicity to the case. The only information given is the Atlanta Journal, one of the afternoon dailies, and his influence is probably great enough to cause the other Atlanta papers to keep news of the Burton Smith case out of their columns. Story Told by Macon Telegraph. The Macon Telegraph published the following story of the developments of the case: "The case, which was briefly held in recorder's court this afternoon, is rather sensational and in it J. T. Strauss, a tailor, 816 East Georgia avenue, appeared as prosecutor and was without an attorney. Attorney W. D. Ellis, Jr., represented Attorney Burton Smith, and when asked about the case tonight said he had waived preliminary hearing and that Mr. Smith's defense on trial will be that he is not guilty of the charge, that he never offered any offense to the two little girls, and that the entire affair is an imaginary story told by the girls, that there was no assault and battery committed. "The story brought out in recorder's court, where Strauss insisted that the hearing, which had once been postponed, be proceeded with, is as follows: "Sunday a week ago, while in Grant Park in his automobile, Boston Smith, a brother of Senator Hole Smith, was attracted by the two little Strauss girls, 10 years old, and the other about 12, and a little boy playmate. He invited them into his automobile, bought them candy and took them to his office in the Third National Bank building. In his office, according to the story told by the girls, he mistreated them. Boy Was Frightened and Run. Boy Was Frightened and Run in the outer office after looking into the inner room where the children had gone to look out of the window, became frightened and went out of the building. On the street he got carfare from a policeman and went home, being followed later by Smith and the two girls in the automobile. "Mrs. Strauss charged that Smith appeared excited and seemed to have been drinking. She told Strauss of the incident and he went to the police barracks, when a complaint was made and" Officer B. B. Haslett and Capt. L. S. Dobbs were sent to the Strauss home to investigate. Strauss, after some little insistence, induced the officer at the police station to docket the case against Smith and it was set for hearing the following Tuesday, but on that date was postponed on motion of his attorney on the ground of illness of the defendant. The case was heard today by Judge Johnson and sent to the superior court for investigation by the grand jury. Effort was made to get a statement from Mr. Smith this evening, but he could not be gotten in communication with.

Republican National Committee Rejects the Three Confessing Delegations from the District of Columbia. HALF VOTES FOR PELICANS Fight of Louisiana Delegates Against Lily Whites Results in Each Delegation Being Given Seats and a Half Vote to Each Delegata—Davis of Georgia and Redmond of Mississippi on Resolutions Committee. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. CHICAGO, Ill.—The Republican National Committee finished its preliminary work in settling contests from the various States on Monday, sixty-two cases having been considered. The most important actions taken were the refusal to seat either of three delegations from the District of Columbia, and the seating of both delegations from Louisiana. In the Louisiana case the lily whites tried to shut out the Negro Republicans from any participation in the affairs of the party, holding its conventions and meetings in a New Orleans hotel from which all Negroes are barred. The present national committeeman, Victor Losel, was a party to this. The national committee, in its findings, recommends that the Louisiana delegation elect Armand Roman of New Orleans as national committeeman in place of Losel. congressional districts the Blum family supporting the Walter H. Johnson element, won five out of eleven decisions. Charges of irregularities were made on all sides, in the tenth district (Augusta) it being charged that the district convention delegates were barred from the hall by the district chairman, a Jackson supporter. But the Jackson delegate, the Rev. Charles T. Walker, was seated. District of Columbia Barred. In the District of Columbia cases each of the three delegations charged that the others had used fraud and were guilty of irregularities of all kinds. To prevent further contests from the District, the committee barred all of the delegations. They will not be seated in the temporary organization and any further investigation will have to be made by the Committee on Credentials or by the convention itself. The contesting delegates from Louisiana, headed by Walter L. Cohen, went up to Chicago with the determination not to accept any settlement of their case that did not carry full recognition from the national committee. Efforts made to bring about a conciliation by offering the delegations half a vote or by dividing the representation among the two delegations failed at first. The committee was inclined to seat one or the other delegation unless they came to an agreement. Finally members of the committee, acting as mediators, formulated a plan to seat all the members of both delegations, each with half a vote, and this was decided upon. In the caucuses held on Tuesday by the various State delegations to decide on the personnel of the new Republican National Committee and members of the convention's Committee on Resolutions, the Georgia delegation named Benjamin J. Davis for the resolutions' committee and S. B. Redmond was named for the same position by the delegation from Mississippi. The convention opened its session Wednesday morning, but the indications are that no nomination will be made before Saturday. Rico a Popular Attache. One of the aides to Col. Gleason in charge of the headquarters is a Brooklynite. He is Alfred D. Rice, the popular attache of the Republican State headquarters in Manhattan, who has guarded the approach to various State chairmen since the regime of the late Timothy L. Woodruff. Mr. Rice was named as a sergeant-at-arms by Mr. Woodruff soon after his appointment and served through the late Brooklynite's term as well as the other chairmen, including Frederick C. Tanner. He has been a prominent figure in Kings County Republican colored circles and is now active member of Twenty-third Assembly Republican forces. He is at 381 Ashford street. Mr. Rice is credited with having a record memory and none of the well-known figures in New York State Republican affairs in the last two decades has ever come to the State headquarters without a word of greeting from the sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Rice has been right on the job from the minute he arrived on the special train yesterday, and Col. Gleason says Mr. Rice is one of the most valuable members of his staff. AMERICA LEADS IN RECORD OF HOMICIDES significance of the murder problem in America, should be realized to the fullest extent. Assuming that the recorded murder death rate for the registration area during the last decade can be safely applied to the country at large, there has been a deliberate sacrifice of more than fifty thousand human lives, and in all probability the actual loss was from five to ten per cent. greater, since there are at present no trustworthy returns for the rural South. : The Need of Immediate Action. Indifference to murder in any form must ultimately injuriously affect the entire population. Murder is murder whether the life destroyed is that of a white person or a person of color, or whether of a native born or a foreigner. The outlook for an imprisonment is hopeless unless the public consciousness throughout the nation is accused and a determined effort is made to punish promptly and in the most drastic and effective manner those who are the worst offenders at most society, in response to a clearer recognition of the moral iniquity of murder in any and every form and its most severe condemnation on the part of the public. As abundantly shown by the history of assassination, and attempts at the murder of persons in conspicuous positions, no life, from the highest to the lowest, and the most useful to the worthless, is safe under existing conditions of public morality and the law administration of justice. Table II exhibits the homicide rate of American cities during the period 1855-1914, but unfortunately for the earlier years the records do not include all of the cities under review Serious Problem for the United States IEW ENGLAND BAPTIST CONVENTION TO MEET Philadelphia, Pa.—The event in religious circles here among Baptists next week will be the annual meeting of the New England Baptist Missionary convention and its auxiliaries.

CREDITABLE WORK BY YOUNG SCULPRES Medallions of the late Booker T. Washington and Phillis Wheatley, executed by M. Harris, a young colored woman of Pittsburgh, Pa, show her to be possessed of considerable talent. Miss Harris has been in New York, for two weeks exhibiting her work. She is an Indiana girl, and she has achieved her present degree of skill largely through her own efforts. Her father and mother died while she was still a baby, and foster parents who succeeded to the care of her died before she was out of childhood. Her relatives were unable to do more than provide her a home and she was thus compelled to depend on her own efforts to secure an art education. She attended the John Herron Art Institute at Indianapolis, but coming East to Pittsburgh she took up her studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Having to make her own living, she entered domestic service, carrying on her studies and practice in her room in the evenings. Having only one free afternoon during the week, she spent this time at the University. the chancellor of the University, S. B. McCormick, has purchased one of the medalists of Honor T. Washington, which, after framing, was presented to that institution and now adorns its walls. One has been presented also to Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. Miss Harris is planning medallions of Soujourner Truth, Harrie Tolman, the late Rishap Henry M. Turner and other noted figures of the race. While in New York she was the guest of Mrs. Alice Miles, 138 West 139th street.

The Age is in position to affirm most positively that the Associated Press dispatches have misquoted Major Moron in every particular. Telephone messages and letters from prominent white citizens, both of the South and North, have conveyed sympathy to Major Moron and assured him of their loyal support. THE COLORED DELE- GATES. The colored delegates to Chicago should feel that they hold a trust for the race. It should be more than a matter of mere politics for them. If they cannot bring some influence to bear that will constrain the Republican party to consider the Negro a vital element in the coming campaign, they had just as well be at home as at the convention. What we want is a candidate who stands not merely neutral on the question of human rights, but who is willing to state openly, that he stands for equal human rights, regardless of race or color; more than that, we want a nominee who is willing to state openly that he stands in favor of equal human and civil and political rights for the Negro. It is not likely that it will fall to the colored delegates to say who or who will not be the nominee, but if the colored men at the convention can influence the party to pledge the candidate in its platform to stand for fair treatment to the Negro, they will have well performed their duty. HOKE SMITH'S BROTHER. Elsewhere we publish an article from the "Macon (Ga.) Telegraph" which gives an account of the arrest of BURTON SMITH, a prominent lawyer of Atlanta and brother to Senator HOKE SMITH, on a most serious charge. Strange to say, this important bit of news appears to have escaped the notice of all the Atlanta papers and most of the prominent papers of Georgia, except the "Macon Telegraph." Just how this news remained unknown in Atlanta and got down to Macon will, we suppose, remain one of the unexplained mysteries of Georgia. According to the "Macon Telegraph," BURTON SMITH is charged with an offense to which Negro criminals do not stoop. THE GEORGIA BAR AND LYNCHING. The Georgia Bar Association held its annual meeting last week at Tybee Beach. GEORGE W. OWENS of Savannah, the president aroused much interest by his severe criticism of those who brought the State into disrepute. As a remedy he recommended that there be a change in the laws of the State so that a person could be indicted for taking part in lynchings in a county other than that in which the crime was committed. On the following day ROBERT C. ALSTON, of Atlanta, general counsel of the Southern Express Company, read a paper in which he suggested Federal interference to stop lynchings in Georgia. The mere fact that members of the Georgia Bar Association now dare to discuss remedies for lynching, and above all, such a remedy as Federal interference, is a hopeful sign that the conscience of the South will finally be awakened and sentiment aroused against this terrible crime.

The thought of killing a wi- t to work by him would never enter a farm hand. Ending, we are afraid that nothing wi- thin a fair trial. He is in the thick Waller and Consul Waller and Sheri- d Wallers get hold of him; may the they will be satisfied with nothing lea- l. The following despatch comes up out of Alabama: Montgomery, Ala., June 11—William Waller, the 19-year-old son of Dr. O. B. Waller, was stalled to death today by Andrew Moulton, a Negro farm hand, whom Waller had ordered to work. Waller is a brother of George Waller, vice consul to Greece. Sheriff Nat Waller and a posse are scouring the country for the Negro. A reward of $100 has been offered for him, dead or alive. Those who are familiar with the sort of censorship which is exercised over despatches of this kind know that Moulton did not kill young Waller merely because the latter ordered him to work. Negroes do not kill white men in the South or anywhere else for such a reason. We are as certain as though we had witnessed the occurrence that Moulton either acted in self-defense or was goaded to commit the deed by some act or actions on the part of Waller. Young Waller, who appears to be the secon of all the Wallers in Alabama, was just at that age where many a "haughty Southerner" thinks that the biggest thing in life is to "boss a nigger," to convince him by physical argument that he is an inferior being. There is no doubt in our mind that this killing grew out of the attempt on Waller's part to assert his "superiority" in this manner. We feel certain not only about this case, but we venture to say that in nine out of every ten cases in which a Southern white man is killed by a Negro, the white man has, in some way, been the aggressor. Not that there are no bad Negroes in the South. There are more than enough; some of them so desperately bad that they would not hesitate to kill each other about a dime in a crap game. But we are familiar with the South and conditions there, and we know that not even these desperadoes, for which the Southern convict camps are principally responsible, kill white men unless they are in some way goaded to the deed. The thought of killing a white man simply because ordered to work by him would never enter the mind of a colored Alabama farm hand. Notwithstanding, we are afraid that nothing will save Moulton, or even asure him a fair trial. He is in the thick of the Wallers; and when Dr. Waller and Consul Waller and Sheriff Waller and all the unmentioned Wallers get hold of him, may the Lord have morey upon him; for they will be satisfied with nothing less than to "waller" in his blood. THE LAW OF THE SABBATH at the Methodist Episcopal General opportunity to take a step forward because in their Book of Discipline; sports of its proceedings, the Presi- ntantic City passed a resolution on which makes the clause in the Met We thought the Methodist Episcopal General Conference was neglecting an opportunity to take a step forward by not abolishing the amusement clause in their Book of Discipline; but according to the published reports of its proceedings, the Presbyterian General Assembly at Atlantic City passed a resolution on amusement and work on Sundays which makes the clause in the Methodist Discipline look like leave for license. The resolution advocates the abolition of motion picture shows on Sunday and Sunday newspapers. Presbyterians are even urged to abstain from subscribing to Sunday newspapers or from advertising in them. All baseball, golf, automobiling, tennis and like diversions are condemned as sinful and the use of public schools as civic or social centers on Sunday is put down as altogether in violation of the Fourth Commandment. The resolution even goes so far as to urge all schools and colleges to abolish Monday morning sessions so that pupils may not be compelled to break the Sabbath by study The resolution calls on all employers to recognize the right of their employees to a weekly rest and urges public officials to enforce all laws for the protection of the day. In this connection all members of the church are called on to "support all officials in such faithful discharge of their duties." Aside from the fact that wholesome recreation on Sunday is entirely proper and is now recognized as a need by and for the laboring man, the resolution calls for a condition which at this time would be a physical impossibility. We refer to that part of the resolution which calls on all employers to give their employees Sundays off. In this day and time, for employees all over the world to knock off on Sundays and go to church would have an effect comparable with the earth's standing still for twelve hours. The amount of swearing and blasphemy caused would alone overbalance any good that might result. In a time and land of Arcadian simplicity such an arrangement might be possible, but the complexity of modern social organization renders it almost inconceivable. This law of the Sabbath is an old question. According to the strict construction of the pharisaic law, Christ broke the Sabbath. When he was hackled about it by the Pharisees, he said to them. "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." PREPAREDNESS OF DIFFERENT BRANDS. Woodrow Wilson is now vying with Theodore Roosevelt as an advocate of preparedness. But it appears that the Wilson brand is not identical with the Roosevelt brand. Mr Wilson in his Memorial Day speech at the Arlington National Cemetery said: Mr. Roosevelt on the next day spoke at St. Louis. He took issue with Mr. Wilson's "acid test" in the following words: "Again, the President said that the acid test was about to be applied to the business men of the country to see whether they would allow their employees to prepare themselves. "I take issue with that. I take issue with any preparedness that prepares the employer to prepare his employees to do his fighting for him. "I stand for the plan where every employer will sleep in the same dog tent with his employee, where he will eat precisely the same food and stand shoulder to shoulder with him in fighting for his country. I don't believe in a division in which one declares for preparedness, and the other puts it into practice. "I am not asking you here to have the other fellow prepare. I am asking you to prepare yourselves. I want to show you what this acid test means in practice. It means that the employer, who is not to go, is to allow his employees to go and prepare, and I am against that kind of preparedness." No better example than the two quotations above is needed to show the vast difference between a man like Theodore Roosevelt and a man like Woodrow Wilson. It shows not only the difference between their opinions on what preparedness means, but the greater difference between their whole intellectual points of view. WORDS VS. ACTS.

Moore, publisher of THE NEW YORK Times, up in his invaluable acquisition in the person of Mr. James W. Johnson, contributing editor of THE AGE. It is, indeed, a genuine pleasure each week to read the editorial page of that indispensable Afro-American newspaper, Mr. Johnson is not only a perfectly sane and neatless writer, but his strong and pure English as well as his resourcefulness in historical and practical knowledge renders his special department a school in itself. It is difficult to understand how am, thoughtful Afro-American, with high ideals, can deny himself the profit and pleasure of the weekly visits of THE AGE—The Church Advocate, Baltimore, Md., the Rev G F Bragg, Jr., editor and publisher. NO HYPHEN IN AFRO-AMERICAN An example of Americanism which might make every hyphen hang its head for shame is furnished the country in the installation address of Major Moton the new president of Tuskegee Institute. Not by arrogant self-seeking, not by buff sham or noticious notice of faultful defiling, not by shirking duty, not by cherishing prejudice against the unselfish cooperation on their teamwork between both races has the successor of Booker T. Washington hope for a solution of the Negro problem. Robert Russia Moton is a full blooded Negro, and to the credit of his race it said the leaders of that people have been patriotic enough to feel that they have been able to through the welfare of the whole nation. No more splendid efforts for the self-improvement of a group of American citizens have ever been made than those which emanate from Tuskegee. Tuskegee is American to the degree of the hyphenate spirit could be justified anywhere it would be among the colored Americans. If racial distinction could anywhere cut a body of people off from the rest of the nation, and prompt them to seek their own independence, it would be such a thing might have been expected in the case of the Negro. Thrust without adequate preparation into the responsibilities of citizenship, still smirking from the sting of the law, still bamberged by self-stealing politicians, excut off in many sections from industrial and social opportunity, the American Negro has had more than one excuse for being a Negro first and an American second, for separating him and the nation's develop nation, for taking half the nation's own. But there has been little consonance or divided loyalty. No, it was left to certain European immigrants, whose coming America had greeted with outstretched hand, to Europeans came here voluntarily; but Europeans dragged here in chains. Others came to find liberty; the Negro came to endure generations of slavery. Yet, after all, there is no more loyal American than the white may Principal Moton by us if we are wise and sincere and selfish." There is a way for any special group or race to guard its in- DRIVING HIM ON. Under the sledge hammer blows of THEODORE ROOSEVELT, WOODROW WILSON is becoming a real advocate of preparedness. Heretofore, he has been satisfied merely with rhetorical preparedness: now, we learn, he will march at the head of the preparedness parade which is to take place in Washington on June 14. This is a long distance from the man who a year ago was too proud to fight. But nobody can shift ground faster than President WILSON. Several years more of hammering by ROOSEVELT would make a more or less able man of WILSON, but, unfortunately for WILSON, he will get the benefit of the treatment for only about six months longer.

Presumptuous though it may seem, I have taken the liberty to ask space in the columns of your journal. I am constrained to this effort owing to my position in the country, and particularly in the ascendancy of the great Republican party, which has done so very much for the entire country since 1856, and, through the instrumental instrument through which the country can expect relief from attendantills. The Republican National Convention assembled June 7, and from indications spectacular scenes are now in the making, promising developments which may spell defeat, or assure success. But as as it may, the entire country stands in the line of candidacy, clear decision, by that conviction, in the selection of its candidate, as to the wavering attitude assumed and the instability of the present National Administration's foreign policy. Capability and experience are inseparable essentials which must be sought as qualifications by the convention and favorite popular sons of individual states, must willingly surrender their claims upon the altar of the people, and bow submissively to their will. The will of the Republicans of the nation was made known before the Republican National Convention, of 1812, and yet that convention coursed disastrous defeat by disarray. The will of the Republicans is again evident are the assembling of the Republican National Convention of 1916.

SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS JUNE 12 TO JULY 21, 1916 ON DURING LAST THREE YEARS THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1916. (Continued from page one) H. Gold and, myself are graduates of Amherst College, among the hills in Massachusetts. Dr. Williams was a college mate of mine. Since leaving school he has devoted his life to newspaper work. A man of practical affairs, who has carried into his life his ideals. "A man who while in college, was ahead of me and is ahead of me now." Dr. Talcott Williams' Address. In his address to the graduating class, Dr. Williams said, in part: "I bid you walk not too fast as one in a hurry, nor too slow as one idle, but walk as it you have a duty to perform and with enough time in which to do it. I urge you graduates to shape your destiny to conform along the line I have just mapped out to you. All things will come to him who waits, however much it depends upon the spirit and purpose of the waiting. You are ancestors and not descendants of your race. This was the subject of Dr. Williams address. Hite said: "There are ten millions of you people in this country. History doesn't record any other race hampered as you have been, making progress equal to you. You are the vanguard of sixty millions in Africa. I regard you as, ancestors and not descendants. I admend you to forget the hour and the day of your landing in this country, but look forward to the future, back to the past, and remember that you are building an eternal calf. The future is yours. The youngest of you stand here as ancestors of the future. "The duties of the ancestors may be divided into three heads. First, Health; second, Morality, and third, Intellectuality. Under the first head, I would urge you to preserve health and strength—physical health, that you may create new standards and ideals of sanitation. It benefits you to go out and practice what you have learned here. As ancestors, your second task is to create a standard of morals. The reputation of your race rests with you. If you go wrong your race falls. Thirdly, there must be a standard of study. As ancestors of the future, you must remember the discordance of our day, that intellectual life must be balanced by the manual life; that this is the day of the use of the hand as well as the mind. You must grapple with all the problems of the future. There is no proactive court or testament of history that enables a race to enter on the treasures of the future, unless it is equal to the occasion. For a little while you will be taught by those of another race, but as no race can ever be educated by another, it is up to you to see that the requirements are met by your race. Those who suffer and are strong and who appreciate the achievements of their race will carve out a new empire, and as last will enter upon the broad arena of the world." Aulmni Association Elect Officers. Dr. Williams talked for about forty minutes and he was listened to by his readers with the keenest attention. His council and admonition sank deep into our hearts and we hope to profit hereby. The annual business meeting of the Alumni Association took place at the case of the commencement exercises. The following officers were elected for the coming year: The Rev. S. W. Gene Petersburg, Va., president; Miss Anne B. Fennill, St. Augustine School, president; the Rev. Jas. K. Satterw- Raleigh, N. C., secretary, W. J. Larson, Raleigh, treasurer. The annual meeting of the trustee board took place in the Rev. A. B. Hunter's office, when the Rev. Edgar H Goodell, associate principal, read the financial report of the school for the season just closed. For hundred and three pupils had been enrolled during the session. All expenses of the school had been paid and the ledger showed a balance to the credit of the school. Upon the recommendation of the Rev. Mr. Hunter, who has served as principal of St. Augustine School for the past 25 years, the board of trustees elected the Rev. Edgar H Goodell to the principalship of St. Augustine School and requested the Rev. Mr. Hunter to act as honorary principal. The Munni Association presented a request that the college course be extended leading to the degree of Bachelor The trustee board voted unanimously to lengthen the college course by 2 years and confer upon those meeting the requirements of this course the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The New Principal. The Rev Edgar H. Goold, the newly president of St. Augustine School, is a young man of marked abil- ity and a good disciplinarian. He has been connected with St. Augustine School as assistant to the Rev. Mr. Hun- tler during the past few years. He is a native of Albany, N. Y., and has numerous work there and else- where in that state. Mr. Goold has stayed abroad, in Germany and Oxford, enlarged. He is soon to receive the degree of Master of Art from Colum- bia University, N. Y. The Roy A. B. Hunter, now the honorary principal of St. Augustine School, and his estimable wife, have by their unfailing kindnesses, Christian zeal and charity so engrafted themselves into the hearts of the people of the south until they are almost regarded as same. It is through Mrs. A. B. Hunters making effort that the necessary money was raised to erect St. Agnes' Hospital, a large three-story concrete structure for the exclusive care of the colored and affected who are brought here for treatment from all parts of this state, as well as from other states. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Hunter's names will go down to Negro postures as benefactors and the memory of these two realous Christian patriots will never die.

The commencement exercises of the college and theological departments occurred Wednesday evening at 8:15 o'clock. Nine graduates delivered addresses of marked excellence. President R. E. Blackwell of Randolph-Macon College addressed the graduating classes. His discourse was enlightening and inspiring on the added responsibility a higher education thrusts upon a Negro. The president of the university, Dr. G. R. Hovey, presented diplomas to and conferred degrees upon the following candidates: Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts—A. Bayton, J. C. Carroll, B. D. Ellis, C. S. Johnson, R. N. Lawson, J. L. Nixon and U. G. Wilson. Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science—J. M. Colson and W. H. Harris.

Hadley to the faculty has resulted in a more perfected system of student musical clubs. Excellent work has been accomplished by the choir, glee club and quartet. The university also shows general progress this year by the active interest it has taken in social service among Negroes in Richmond. The school is affiliated with the Richmond Negro Welfare League, and pays one-half the salary of its director. A. & T. COLLEGE. GREENSBORO, N. C. — The greatest commencement exercises ever witnessed by the students and friends of the 'A. and T. College came to a close Thursday morning, May 25, at 11 o'clock, when the commencement address was delivered by the Hon. Locke Craig, governor of North Carolina. The diplomas were presented by Prof. M. C. S. Noble, chairman of the board of trustees and head of the Department of Pedagogy at the University of North Carolina. The music during the series of exercises was a source of inspiration to all those who heard it. Governor Locke Craig and the Rev. Dr Melton Clark, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, commented most favorably upon this phase of the commencement week. The annual address to the Y. M. C. A. and Temperance Societies, which was delivered by W. T. Bost, journalist, lecturer and author, of Raleigh, N. C., was one of the many treats of the week. Mr. Bost being both scholarly and effective as a speaker. The literary gem of the week was presented by Prof. W. G. Pearson, principal of the Whitted High School of Durham, N. C., who delivered the annual address to the Mechanics Arts Literary Society. Dr. J. L. Mann, superintendent of the city schools of Greensboro and an educator of national repute, delivered a most-practical and thoughtful address in his annual message to the Agricultural Literary Society. The Class Day exercises, which were held Wednesday evening, drew an overflow audience which completely packed the large auditorium. The young men of the senior class gave a program which held the closest attention of the audience and which was said to be the greatest class program in the history of the college. The program ranged from the usual orations, literary presentations of the class poet, class will, class hope, the class motto, intermingled with music offered by the members of the class in the form of chorals, orchestral and solo selections, to dramatic renditions taken from the works of Shakespeare. During the exercises a large leather chair was presented to the president of the college, Dr. James B. Dudley, who received it with his usual courtesy and good will. The exhibits of the several departments of the college far surpassed those of any previous year. The drawing, penmanship, compositions, practical illustrations in mathematics, and transposed music made up the major portion of the academic exhibit. The agricultural exhibit showed in some detail the work being done by the several agricultural branches; bee culture, poultry, truck gardening, dairy and farm products being mostly in evidence. A hive of bees actually making honey in a modern bee hive with glass art arrangements which allowed the spectators to witness the operation, formed a most interesting spectacle. One of the most prominent exhibits was that offered by the classes in electrical and mechanical engineering taught by Profs. R. L. Campbell and L. P. Byarn of the mechanical faculty. This exhibition was in the form of an electric lighting system made and operated by the students, lighting the main building and the building building and forming the rotating lighting system which displayed and flashed to the public the sign, "WELCOME TO GOV.

The first of the commencement exercises was held Sunday afternoon, May 28, when President Hope delivered the baccalaureate address to the graduating classes. His text was "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand." His discourse was an expository one, and in a few minutes he presented a very forceful address. Class Day occupied quite a unique place in the commencement program. The feature of the exercise was the Shakespearean burlesque, entitled the "Loves of Anne Page." This play was original in its production and was planned and staged by Dean Brawley. The graduating classes felt that they should share in the universal Shakespearean celebration. The many characters dressed in gorgeous costumes presented one of the most attractive spectacles ever shown here, and it brought forth thunderous applause from the greatest crowd that has ever attended any exercise at the college. Alumni Day was quite a fruitful one for the college. Several of the alumni came back and showed their loyalty to their Alma Mater by completing the $5,000 for the new dormitory. The Paxon Prize Rhetoricals were the best rendered here in a long time. The prize of $5 given to that man in the Academy who delivers the best declaration was awarded to Nathaniel Tillman of the fourth year class. The prize of $10 offered to that man in the college who delivers the best original oration was awarded to R. D. Kelsey of the senior class. Commencement Day was a glorious day at Morchehue, and it brought to an end one of the most prosperous years in the history of the institution. Eight received the A. B. degree, two the B. Th degree, ten diplomas from the Divinity School, and twenty-one diplomas from the Academy. The degree of A.M was conferred on Prof. Brown of American Institute.

The use of phonographic records in preserving certain phases of musical expression has been commented upon at considerable length by various writers on music, and their value as an educative medium is more and more being recognized by the musical world. Efforts being made to secure and record the tribal chants of the American Indians brings to mind the fact that invaluable service has been rendered by the phonograph in the preservation of Negro folk-song and melodies. Perhaps the most conspicuous effort in this direction has been made by George A. Miller, a Southern white man, who for the past twenty-two years has directed his interest in the Negro toward a concrete endeavor to save the "befo' de wah" melodies and songs of the race from being forgotten and lost. Mr. Miller is a brother to Reed Miller, the famous American tenor, and has himself occupied a conspicuous place in the ranks of American music exponents. He has given The Musical Courier of New York City an epitomized account of some of the results of his efforts, and he declares that the elusive character of Negro music can only be permanently recorded through the medium of the phonograph, Mr. Miller is a native of South Carolina and on his father's plantation in the northwestern part of that State he had opportunity to hear hundreds of the songs as sung in their original form by the Negroes. Just to what extent these have already been recorded does not appear, but emphasis is given to the fact that all the peculiar phrasing and unusual diatonic construction of Negro song can be accurately caught and recorded by the phonograph. In his article in The Musical Courier Mr. Miller writes as follows: For one reason or another I have been interested in Negro melody, for a good many years. About twenty-two years ago I began writing and speaking in public on this question in a more or less serious fashion when the so-called Negro music being taught by Soeder for Benjamin R. Tilman. It was a subject at that time of very considerable interest to the people of the entire country, an interest that soon subsided. But as to Negro melody pure and simple, it, as a subject, is of never-ending interest to those who have studied it from the point of view of its elementary and original nature. Artist art subjects, several songs here recorded being a few of hundreds here I remember and have often sung. They are in reality what might be called trade-, or occupation-songs, the character of the words and music of most of them being determined by the trade or occupation of the Negro hoi hoi singer. The character is elusive in character that it would be almost impossible to reduce it to notation. Only the talking machine can record its elusive and peculiar characteristics. A few of the songs recorded are given with Mr. Miller's comments on the conditions of the singing as he remembers will The first one used to be sung by Aunt Sarah Warren, as she stood at the hot-pot stirring her wash for the "battling-board." From morning to night, as long as Aunt Sarah kept at her work, she sang it with unflagging zeal: Trouble gwine ter wary me down God knows it. wary it wary me down. Trouble wore tree fall, jes to it lie; Jes so de sinner live, jes so he die—den Trouble wgine ter wary me down. Mandy, Tilly, and Louvinia were field-hands, and as they went up and down the hill, they heard the words they used to chant in unison, keeping time with their hoes: The next was sung by George Sadler, George was a ditcher. He was a tremendous tall man with arms so long he could scratch the calf of his leg without bending. They call him the "Monk." Notwithstanding his size, George was often hidden in big ditches ten feet deep and, as the mud and dirt flew up from his spade, out of the depths came this peculiar refrain, the shovel accompanying its rhythmic pulse with exactness: Goalman, Goalman, Goalman day, An er one two—er durum die. On the word "Goalman" he gave a sort of bellow which sounded like the croaking of a bullfrog magnified a hundred times. Isham Moore was a young fellow with a very high tenor and this was isham's favorite song: Old Massa bought a yellow gal, He foth her fum de South; Hair growd to sight on de Nigger's haid, A few feet her mouth. Den haughen, haughen, haughen 'chile, Haughen, haughen, I say; Haughen, haughen, my darlin' chile, Got no whare to stay. Old Massa haughen built a fine house, Sixteen stories high; Every story in dat house. Filled wid chicken pie. Dab haughen darlin' chile, Ha, ha, I say. Ha, ha, my darlin' chile, Got no whare to stay. (H. E. Krehbiel, n' N. Y. Tribune.) The fact that the annual music festival of the Litchfield County Choral Union is to be held in Norfolk, Conn., this week gives timely interest to the story of one of the compositions written for these festivals. It has been remarked heretofore in connection with these annual occurrences that their plan contemplates the engagement of a composer, either native or foreign, to write a work of large dimensions, which is produced under his direction, for which he is remunerated, but which remains his property. Coleridge-Taylor had visited the United States in 1904 on the invitation of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society of Washington. He came again in 1906, and on this visit went on a concert tour with Mr. Harry T. Burleigh and received an invitation from Mr. Carl Stoeckel to give a concert in Norfolk. In October, 1909, Mr. Stoeckel, being in England, invited him to the Norfolk festival of 1910, and it was on this visit that he conceived the plan of composing his vinyl concerto. In "biography of the composer," written by W. Berwyck Sayers and published in London a few months ago; the origin of the concerto is told in the words of Mr. Stoeckel. Mr. Taylor had written his "Bambuola" for the festival, an orchestral work for which Mr. Krehbiel had supplied him with the theme, "After supper," says Mr. Stoeckel in a letter to the biographer, "my wife went into the library and Coleridge-Taylor and I went into another room to have a smoke. She began playing on the piano, and suddenly Coleridge-Taylor dropped his cigarette, jumped to his feet and said, 'What is that lovely melody?' It was an African slave song called "Keep Me from Sinking Down, Good Lord," which has never been in the books, as it was taken from the lips of a slave directly after the war by a teacher who went South and who gave it to my late father-in-law, Robbins Battell. Coleridge-Taylor went into the library and asked my wife to play it again, which she did, singing the melody at the same time. He then said: "Do let me take it down." I will use it sometime." "For severa idays some of the 'Bamboula' rhapsody had been running in my head, and the thought cane to me that perhaps Coleridge-Taylor might be induced to write a violin concerto, using this African melody in the adagio movements. I proposed the matter to him then and there. He said that he was delighted with the idea and would undertake it. He was, of course, to take his own time and to receive an honorarium therefor. In due season the manuscript of the violin concerto reached me. I took it at once to-Mime. Maud Powell, as the work was dedicated to her and she was to give the first rendition. My original suggestion to Coleridge-Taylor was that the concerto should be founded on three African melodies characteristic of our so-called Southern Negroairs. When we went over the concerto we found that the second movement was based on an African melody, but not on 'Keep Me from Sinking Down', which Coleridge-Taylor had found that he could not use, and he had substituted 'Many Thousands Gone' for this movement. In the third movement he had used 'Yankee Doodle' quite frequently, which, of course, is not strictly an African melody. We agreed that the second movement was a beautiful piece of music, but both the first and third movements seemed to us rather sketchy and unsatisfactory. "While I was considering what to write about this work to Coleridge-Taylor, I received a letter from him requesting me to throw it into the fire and saying that he had written an entirely new and original work, all the melodies being his own, and that it was a hundred times better than his first composition. I returned the first composition to him at once, as it seemed a pity to lose the second movement, and a few weeks later the score of the second concerto arrived. It was tried and found highly satisfactory. Its first rendition was at the Norfolk festival of 1912, being played by Mme. M. M. Powell, under the directorship of Arthur Mees. After the first concerto arrived, which we did not use and which did not contain the air 'Keep Me from Sinking Down', I wrote to Coleridge-Taylor and suggested that he should make a separate arrangement of this air either for violin or cello. He responded with promptness and sent along with the second concerto an arrangement of the air for violin and orchestra. This was played as an encore by Mme. Powell at the time of the rendition of the concerto." AT THE THEATRES. THE LAFAYETTE STOCK Three dramatic companies are being carried by the Elite Amusement Corporation operating the Lafayette Theatre. Seventh avenue and 131st street. While one company is playing at the Lafayette, one plays at the Howard Theatre, Washington, and one is rehearsing a new play, so that it is possible for the corporation to present to its patrons a well-balanced performance each week. The bill a jthe Lafayette this week is "The Man on the Box," written by Harold McGrath and Grace Livingstone, and presented on Broadway by Henry E. Dixie. At the Howard in-Washington is being presented "Fine Feathers," which was shown at the Lafayette last week. The third company in the meantime is busy rehearsing "The Master Mind," by Daniel C. Carter, which will be on the boards at the Lafayette the week beginning June 12. The company, presenting "The Man on the Box" this week is playing to good houses every afternoon and night, and the feature of the performance is the development shown by Andrew Bishop, who has the principal male role. The work of Abbie Mitchell as the heroine is of a character with her usual excellence. The cast is as follows: Lleut, Robert Whartburton, Andrew S. Bishop. Mr. Charles Henderson, H. L. Pryor, Col. Geo. Amesey, J. Francis Mores. Count Karloff, H. Brown. Col. Frank Raleigh, Chas. Taylor. Mons Pierre, Will A. Cook. Marshallate Watts, Walter Robinson. Officer O'Brien, Will A. Cook.

The coming spectacle, "The Battle Cry of Peace,' to the New Lincoln Theatre this Saturday and Sunday coming, has set the Harlemites agog with interest, and it is now. that they are beginning to realize that the management of the Lincoln Theatre means business. Not content with offering the best Broadway photo productions, announcement is now made that in conjunction with the classy screen masterpieces, patrons are to be in the future enlivened with the acts of big time vaudeville. This innovation is a pleasing one, for although the photoplayas presented since the closing of the stock season have brought many new patrons to the New Lincoln, there are many who will hall with delight the return of vaudeville to this theatre, and the brand of that form of entertainment as served there this week is really creditable. If this sort of vaudeville continues, which the management assures us that it will, the Lincoln is certainly in for a very prosperous season. The acts on the first half were Regina Leslie, who rendered some entertaining selections on various musical instruments; Blanche Deas, whose return to the stage was effusively received and who delighted her host of admirers with well chosen vocal renditions; the team of Betts and James put over their act with pep, but it remained for Mark Linder & Co., who appeared in the underworld sketch, "The Frame Up," to make a clean up. Mr. Burke, the manager of this theatre, promises more acts of the same caliber during the future weeks.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: Permit me to make a correction with reference to your report in the issue of May 25. about the concert of the St Mark's Church choir. You evidently were misinformed when quoting the name of my selection as "When My Ship Comes Sailing Home." The correct name should be "When My Ships Come Sailing." Sporting Notes (By Alexander Walters.) William Watkins, known in the fictive world as Bill Watkins, has returned to New York after being out west for two months. From all reports he had a very successful trip. His trip included both business and pleasure. During the trip he engaged in six bouts and won them all, four being knockouts. The first bout was in Memphis, Tenn., where he met Curley Booth, who he knocked out in five rounds. The next bout was held in Columbia, Tenn., where he met and defeated Kid Smith. He defeated Kid Mitchell in one round in Hot Springs, Ark., and Kid Lindsay in eight rounds in Tulsa, Okla. He also visited St. Louis, Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati, and is now matched to meet two good men, one at the Vanderbilt A. C. and the other at the Harlem Sporting Club. In a few days familiar faces that the fight fans have been used to seeing will disappear. Billy Gibson, the premier fight promoter of America, has chartered a steamer to convey the following fistic artists to the Argentine Republic to engage in several fights: Harry Wills, Sam McVey, Joe Jeannette, Sam Langford, Bill Watkins, Rough Ware, Kid Cotton and several others. Wills is matched to meet McVey and Joe Jeannette is to hook up with Sam Langford and it is understood that the man putting up the best fight will be matched to meet Jack Johnson. They will leave these shores on June 17 and will be gone about two months. Kid Lyons, the boy who carries the name of being one of the best trainers of fighters in the country, and said to be a second edition of Bob Armstrong as a trainer and who is now handling such men as Harry Wills, Rough Ware, and Leo Johnson, will make the trip with the big four and will be one of the main handlers during their trip. At Clermont A.C. last Saturday evening the star bout of the card gave the light fans a chance to look over one of LAFAYETTE THEATRE EUGENE ELMORE, SEVENTH AVENUE AND FILM STREET TELEPHONE 1011 MORNINGSTREET THE ELITE AMUSEMENT CORPORATION Presents WEEK BEGINNING JUNE 12 | "THE MASTER MIND" In 4 Acts, by Daniel D.

There will be also two six round bouts and three four round bouts on the card that evening. ... At Vanderbilt A. C. on last Monday night the show was very good, there being several knockouts. In the first four-round bout of the evening, Kid Rash and Young Thompson boxed a draw. In the next four-round bout Smoke Jones knocked out Kid Corporal in the third round. The six-round bout ended in the first round when Pluto connected with Bear Cat Spencer's jaw with a right smash. The star bout of the evening was to have been Young Hicks and Leo Johnson, but on account of Hicks not showing up, Wee Wee Barton was substituting. Not being in condition, Barton seemed afraid to fight and the referee, after cautioning both men, stopped the bout in the seventh round. Up to this round the bout was about even. Weights, Johnson 132, Barton 140. * * * At Vandervilt A. C. next Monday night one of the best bouts ever staged at this club will be put on when Lee Johnson, colored lightweight champion of the world, meets Eddie Dorssey, of Northampton, Mass., the Fighting Marvel, and the only boy who holds a decision over Johnson. In Dorssey, Johnson will find a boy that is fighting all the time and also a clever boxer, too. There will be two six-round bouts and three four-round bouts on that evening. Leo Johnson and Eddie Dorney to Meet Manager Mack, of the Vanderbilt A. C., Brooklyn, has landed what he considers the banner boxing bout of the season. This is the return engagement between "Leo" Johnson, the crack local colored lightweight and holder of the world's colored lightweight championship, and Eddie "Kid" Dorssey, the sensational colored lightweight of Philadelphia, who has been boxing with great success of late. He recently gained a papular decision over Johnson at Northampton, Mass. This contest will be staged at the Vanderbilt A, C., on the evening of June 12, and will be a real championship affair, as both boys have posted a forfeit to weigh in at 133 lbs. ringside, the recognized lightweight limit. Ever since Dorsey defeated Johnson his services has been in great demand throughout the country. He made his initial appearance in this vicinity at the Vanderbilt A. C. three weeks ago and easily defeated Charlie Smith, the rugged Brooklyn welterweight, and last week he defeated Young Hicks, the recognized colored welterweight champion. In both of these contests Dorsey showed to good advantage, though considerably outweighed in both contests. Both Dorsey and Johnson are fast, clever boxers and both are great ring generals, so this should develop into a hotly contested bout from the first tap of the goong until the final bell. BASEBALL.
