WHITMAN WINS CONTROL Justice Hughes' Nomination Brings Triumph to Whitman Forces. LEADER CHICAGO DELEGATION Governor was Elected as Head of the State's Delegation After Overcoming Strong Opposition from Opponents. BARNES OUT OF THE RACE Former National Committeeman and Republican Leader Would Not Stand for Reelection and Herbert Parsons, the Whitman Candidate, was Chosen Without Opposition-Negroes Regret Paising of Barnes. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. CHICAGO, IL.—That Gov. Whitman has advanced himself politically and that William Barnes is down and out as a factor in New York is the consensus of opinion here, following the nomination of Justice Hughes by the Republican convention. The victory of the Hughes men assures the Governor of a renomination this fall, and it is also taken to mean that Representative William M. Calder will get the Republican nomination for United States Senator. Congressman Calder early in the pre-convention campaign threw his lot with the Hughes men and has been working out here in close co-operation with Gov. Whitman. He has been openly a candidate for the nomination for Senator for some time. The strife stirred up in the New York delegation has been such that had the Root faction triumphed it is almost certain that he would have been turned down for the nomination. Herbert Parsons has been named by the New York delegation as the National Committee to succeed William Barnes. The election of Mr. Parsons was announced by Governor Whitman. The Barnes forces did not give up their fight against Herbert Parsons for National Committee until they saw Justice Hughes as the nomination on the third ballot. There had been a vote to elect Senator Wadsworth or National Chairman Hiles The Whitman forces heard of this and showed at once that they could muster a majority of the votes in the delegation, whereupon the Barnes faction gave in, and when a poll was taken in the convention Mr. Parsons was named unanimously. Marks Passing of Barnes. The election of Mr. Parsons and the victory of the Hughes men means the complete elimination of Mr. Barnes from New York State politics. Defeated in his attempt to remove Chairman Tanner, Mr. Barnes nevertheless had retained much of his power and influence in the delegation, being helped in this by his espousal of the Root cause. But to-day marked his passing as a political figure. Senator Elon R. Brown gave out this statement for Mr. Barnes: "Mr. Barnes desires to say that inasmuch as it has become apparent that a majority of the New York delegation is in favor of his re-election as National Committeeman he does not want to raise any issue in relation thereto, but he desires to have it understood that he would have been pleased to serve if it had been desired." Mr. Barnes has been a pathetic figure ever since his arrival. In contrast with the position four years ago he has lived little if any influence as a national figure and the leaders have been less than strength to the Root chances he has when it became apparent he was to rehabilitate himself thereby. Republicans in New York State want the defeat of Mr. Barnes, particularly they may support Gov. McCain. It is a matter of certain evidence that Mr. Barnes has always been an persistent friend to the Negro citizens of the party. MADGE THOMAS DUNCAN DIED SUNDAY, JUNE 11 Sunday, June 11, at 1:30 o'clock, Mrs. Margaret M. Thomas Duncan, wife of Margaret M. Duncan and daughter of Mr. Margaret James C Thomas, Sr., 89 North street, died at the home of parents. Margaret was in her twenty-eighth year and had been married only seven for a long while she has sur- ried heart trouble, but has not announced. She has been able to her household duties, being not to overexert herself. The wife was eating dinner Sunday, when Margaret came from the table for fatal attack and fell. Margaret was held Wednesday, July 11, from Bethel Afrie- l Episcopal Church, the sunny pastor. On account of the pastor, who is at Worcester University, the sunny counselor to the Rev, Dr. William H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's Meth- dheral Episcopal Church, and the Rev, Thomas F. Sales. Interment was in Mount Olivet Cemetery. The New York Age THE NEGRO'S WORK AT CHICAGO CONVENTION Hon. J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., is in the city en route home from the National Republican Convention at Chicago. He is the purpose of attending the meeting of the board of trustees of Fisk University. And he is a representative of THE AGE as to the results achieved at the Chicago convention by the colored men attending as delegates, Mr. Napier gave an interesting account of the elert made to have incorporated in the platform a plank which would insure the restoring of the franchise to the colored voter in the Southern States. A meeting was held by the colored men, and the situation discussed in all its phases. It was finally decided to send a delegation before the Committee on Resolutions, with a suggestion embodying the plan agreed upon, the suggestion tending to regulate the franchise situation in the South by a manipulation of the reduction of representation in Congress idea. After some trouble a hearing was secured for the delegation, largely, said Mr. Napier, through the efforts of Bemp. J. Davis of Georgia, one of the two Negro members of the resolution committee, and a modification of the plan suggested was finally inserted in the platform as agreed upon. DR. ROBERTS TALKS OF TUSKEGEE'S FUTURE TUSKEGEE FUTURE Dr. Eugene P. Roberts, who has just returned from a visit to Tuskegee Institute, which included witnessing the inauguration exercises attendant upon the installation of Major R. K. Moton as the encouragement man of conditions at that famous institution, and the prospects for future development under Major Moton's guidance. In a talk with a representative of THE ACE Dr. Roberts spoke specially of the very cardinal welcome which was extended by everyone to the new principal, and said that there was evident on all sides a thorughone faith in the major's ability to keep alive the "Tuskegee spirit" which had been infused into the bloodblood of all connected with Tuskegee by the late Dr. Booker T Washington. Speaking of some of the manifestations of the late leader's wisdom, Dr Roberts referred to the Twentieth Century Club, an organization composed of members from both the principal's council and the faculty, as one of the factors which exerts a wonderful influence in developing and perpetuating the Washington idea of growth. Speaking of this club, Dr. Roberts said: "I was rare and most highly appreciated when I met to hear a guest at the monthly meeting of the Twentieth Century Club. This club was organized for the purpose of discussing, measuring and weighing all matters pertaining to the welfare of the institution. The members of the club believe that there is a great gulf fixed between the actual in humanity and the ideal. They are, therefore, conservative and hopeful in their united effort to enunciate principles of right living and maxims of high-minded philosophy." While at Tuskegee Dr. Roberts was the house guest of Doctor and Mrs. J. Kenny. He was shown many social companies by members of the school community, among them being Booker T. Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest David Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Jr., Warren Logan and Miss Logan, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Atwell, Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Owens, Major and Mrs. J. B. Ramsay, and Charles Winter Wood. NORTH CAROLINA MEDS TO MEET IN WILSON Special to The New York Age RALEIGH, N. C.-The North Carolina State Medical Pharmaceutical and Dental Association will hold its annual session in Wilson, N. C., June 20 to 23. Now that we have met the colored doctors of this State attend these meetings, as well as a large number of the doctors from South Carolina and Virginia. The meeting at Wilson bids fair to celebrate any other meeting ever held in this State. Dr. McBroyer, head of the North Carolina Tuberculosis Sanitarium, and Dr. A. M. Curtus of Washington, D. C., a noted surgeon, will address the doctors. Dr. J. O Plummer is president and Dr. A. W. Wyche secretary and treasurer. NEGRO GIVEN MONEY TO LEAVE FORSYTH CO., GA. (Special to THE NEW York Age.) CUMMING, A.-Monzo Cobb, a colored man, was arrested at Gamesville and brought to this town charged with horse-stealing. A white man was also arrested. At the hearing it developed that Cobb was innocent, but the white man was held under $1,000 bond. Nerugoes are not allowed in Forests county, and Cobb found himself the only member of his race in this community. But the whites were not willing to have him remain. So the men in the court room made up a purse, hired an automobile and appointed a committee to escort Cobb safely back to his home. ADVERTISES IN THE AGE.

The President and Manager Has Worked Hard to Bring Back Former Prestige of the Famous Club—Novel Entertainment Staged by Troy & Williams —Bryan Conducted Orchestra "YEA BOO" "AH BOO" That was the cry to be heard on all sides Friday night. June 9 as the hosts wended their way to the famous old Manhattan Casino to greet the equally famous old Cleri Club, which was offering for their JOHNSON deletion and enjoyment a revival of Ye Oldie Tyme Minstrel, with Irving William and Tom Fletcher, the two immitable comedians, as end men, and with Henry Troy, the sweet singer, as interlocutor. And more than 2,300 people journeyed to the Casino to greet the Cletfies. The augmented orchestra was directed by Fred M. Bryan, and the splendid program arranged for the performance, with the collaboration and advising genius of the president and manager, Deacon Johnson, was rendered in such a manner as to arouse the vast audience to wild enthusiasm. On every side comment could be heard to the effect that "The Dragon has certainly kept his promise and brought back the old premence of the Chef Club." And it was a proud occasion for Deacon Johnson and his faithful lieutenants. The president and manager had labored under many discouragements and been hampered by many disadvantages, but with the support of a few loyal hearts he has never dispaired and the success achieved last Friday night brings a recompense that is appreciated and enjoyed by the Deacon and all his co-holders. His most valued and useful assistant has been Mrs. Johnson, who has been an invaluable and in the management of attains at the club house. The performance was staged by Henry Troy and Irving Williams, and it was a novel and unique surprise, which they gave the audience. From the opening strains of the opening chorus to the last note in the finale, which was an original conceit, conceived and produced by Henry Troy. (Continued on page 6) COLORED REPUBLICANS THE COLLECTED REPUBLICANS of KING'S COUNTY hold a get-together meeting at the club rooms of the Lenth Assembly District, 987 Fulton street, on Thursday evening, June 8. Representatives were present from every assembly district in the county. G. W. A. Murray presided and introducted Fred R. Moore, editor of Twin New York Agr, who had been specially invited to make the principal speech. The plans outlined by the meeting contemplate a compact organization within the Republican ranks of the country, with representation in proportion to the voting power, and with cooperation along all lines helpful to race interests. The discussion took a broad field and was in favor of a leadership that would mean the race rather than the individual Emphasis was placed on real party work and real recognition. It was suggested that a conference be held at an early date for the purpose of selecting a State leader who would look after the interests of the colored Republicans throughout the State. Selfishness was strongly condemned. S. B. Mayo acted as secretary, and among those present were C. C. Pool, C. Baker, D. Chusholm, J. Cormick, T. P. Mosley, Messrs. Abbott, Williams, Thorne, Jones' and others. Refreshments were served after the conference was concluded. THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1916. ROOSEVELT REFUSES TO RUN FOR PROGRESSIVE Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. CHICAGO, Ill.—Less than two minutes after the Republican National Convention had named Justice Hughes as its standard-bearer, the Progressive National Convention, in a futile effort to anticipate the Republicans, named Col. Theodore Roosevelt as its candidate for the President of the United States, with Col. John M. Parker of Louisiana as his running mate. When this action was telegraphed to Col. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, he immediately sent the following telegram to the convention, which was read to the delegates: "TO THE PROGRESSIVE CONVENTION: I am very grateful for the honor you corer upon me by nominating me. President. I cannot accept this time. I do not know the attitude of the candidate of the Republican party toward the vital questions of the day. "Therefore, if you desire an immediate decision, I must decline the nomination. But, if you prefer it, I suggest that my conational refusal to run be placed in the hands of the Progressive National Committee. If Mr. Hughes statement when he makes them, shall satisfy the committee that it is for the interest of the country that he be elected, they can act accordingly and treat my refusal as definitely accepted. "If they are not satisfied, they can so notify the Progressive party and at the same time they can confer with me and then determine on whatever action we may severally deem appropriate to meet the needs of the country." With visible reluctance on the part of the Western radicals, the Progressives accepted Roosevelt's plan and authorized the National Committee to fill any vacancies on the ticket. Thus a new political situation has been created, almost as absorbing as that on the eve of the conventions. Roosevelt, though beaten, continues to be a dominating figure. He has it in his power to elect Hughes or to continue Wilson in the White House, for even the most sanguine prophet does not predict any other result in a three-covered race. As Justice Hughes' statement accepting the nomination began to be read and discussed there was a more optimistic feeling, amounting almost to certainty, that the Progressive ticket would be withdrawn. Something of that buoyant spirit born of the prospect of victory, so noticeably lacking in the convention itself, began to manifest itself. Cheerfulness began to show itself in the crowds, and delegates started for home much more hopeful than they had come. Hope for Colonel's Support. Republican leaders feel confident that Hughes' statement will satisfy the Colonel of the Justice's soundness on the issues of the campaign. They are even hoping that Roosevelt will come out actively in support of Hughes, swinging his personal following that way, for they realize that the fight to beat Wilson this fall is going to be a hard one. It is on the conservatives, however, that the real decision as to whether the Progressives will support Hughes rests. All through the convention they have succeeded in holding in check the radical element anxious to nominate Roosevelt and "have it over with." Nearly all of them were Republican politicians before they joined the Moose, and with the prospect of victory this fall they have been anxious to reunite with the old party. To a large extent they make up the national committee. Thus they occupy the curious position of being able to do what the Progressive convention itself refused to do. In effect the committee has the right to veto the acts of the delegates, to nullify the convention itself, by accepting Hughes. Almost literally it can dissolve the party if it and the Colonel so desire What It Means. What effect the endorsement of Hughes will have on the Progressives as a party naturally has around no little speculation among politicians. The general belief among Republicans is that it will gradually dissolve the Mouse, with most of its adherents finding their way back to the old parties. Such a result, it is pointed out, is almost inevitable after the conservative maneuvering of the convention. The admission, made by the leaders in the hope of deriving about harmony with the Republicans, that there was no difference between the two parties on principles or platform they declare was a damaging blow toward the party's survival. The radical element may still cling to the party machinery. Restive under the Parks rule all through the convention, only their boundless confidence in Col. Roosevelt's leadership kept them in line. Even then there were mutterings and threats from such individuals as Hiram Johnson, William Allen White, Henry I. Allen and Professor Harte. If the national committee decides to support Hughes the radicals may refuse to obey. In the West particularly the "social justice" principle, which four years ago were supposed to form the foundation stone of the party, have strong appeal. RAIN CAUSES WASHOUT: BOLDEN SAVES TRAIN Special to The New York Arg Youngstown, O. — Undermined by heavy rains all the preceding day, the foundation wall in the rear of Will Ridoutcoe's restaurant. The Bank: 483 W. Federal street, caved in at 2 o'clock in the morning and fell on to the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad. The crash awakened George Bolden, who remembered that a freight train was about due. He hurriedly dressed and ran three blocks to flag the train, which he did, thereby probably preventing a serious wreck. No one was hurt. NEGRO IS REAL ASSET SAYS A SOUTHERNER Development of Race Due in Great Measure to Leadership of Booker Washington. SOUTH OWES MUCH TO NEGRO When Given Opportunity, Under Fair and Just Conditions, the Negro Not Only Proves His Value as a Skilled Workman, But there is also Cultivated a Deep Loyalty to His Employer. The Negro is one of the great assets of Southern industrial life, according to a report brought from Kentucky to the convention of the National Association of Manufacturers held recently at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York City. It was brought by Frank D. Rash of the Kentucky Manufacturers' Association, who, although a manufacturer, gave the convention a treat in old-time oratory as good as if he did nothing else for a living. "No longer," said Mr. Rash, "does the gallant, bewisherked Southern Colonel surround himself with cupbearers and lounge on the broad v兰anda of his Colonial mansion, all the while sapling the seductive munt pulp from the frosted cup of silver. And though the Kentucky Colonel still lives, you will now see him, donning cap and overalls and leading the forces of industry in bringing Keitucky's marvelous mineral wealth to the use of mankind, or yet, perhaps, as the executive directing his staff in any one of the many manufacturing enterprises springing up within the borders of the Commonwealth. "Much has been written and said concerning a so-called Negro problem—a great part of this at long distance; and it may be that the first-hand experiences and observations, of a Southerner may be of some interest to you. As respects the completeness of information of many writers on this subject, the average Southerner cannot avoid regarding some statements as did the two old Irish ladies. The Archbishop had preached a fine sermon on marriages and its beauties. With his ladies, with his daughters and families of ample proportions, were heard coming out of church commenting on the address. "Tis a fine sermon his Rivereance would be after givei' us, said one to the other, 'It is, it is, was, was the reply, and I wish I knew as little about it; neither as he does.' "In expressing the belief that Negro labor is one of the greatest assets of Southern industry it is devoutly to be hoped that such expression will not be considered in the light of an attempt to point out any commercial advantage of one direction of industry rather than present the idea of the thoughtful Southerner of to-day and to pay just tribute to the worthy Southern Negro. Washington's Principles for All People. "That remarkable man, Booker T. Washington, pointed out to the people his race that their only hope lay in work, hard work and efficient work in the fields, the forests, the factories, and the mines, in the industrial school, and in the college and in the professions, and to that end never ceased his call to service. You will recall his wonderful address at the opening of the Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta in 1895, which did more than any public utterance of any man to temper suspicion and race hatred and to bring about a better understanding in the South, and while the Utopian state in this understanding has not been reached and may never yet, nevertheless, we are day by day and year by year approaching Booker T. Washington's dream of the American oyster. "Having had opportunity to observe the application of the industrial principles Booker T. Washington laid down to the nation, and to that (Continued on page five). FIVE CANDIDATES FOR Special to The New York Act Illinois III—Five names were mentioned as possible candidates for chair- mate of the Republican National Committee and manager of the Hughes and bankers campaign by Republican L. H. here. The finances mentioned were Frank H. Hitchcock, of New York, Kevin H. Williams, of Oregon, Joseph H. Baling, of Indiana, Fredrick C. Ta- of New York, and Charles B. War- migan, Hitchcock, convention campaign of Hughes in Chicago. He was vice-chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1904, and was in charge of the New York headquarters during the campaign of Theodore Roosevelt. In 1908 he was chairman of the Republican National Committee and managed the campaign of William H. Taft. Ralph E. Williams is National Committeeman from Oregon, one of the first States to declare for Hughes. Fred C. Tanner is Republican state chairman of New York, and was an active supporter of Hughes. Joseph B. Kealing is a lifelong friend and close political associate of C. W. Fairbanks. Charles B. Warren is National Committeeman from Michigan. W. Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, chairman of the special committee named by the national committee to confer with Mr. Hughes in regard to the appointment of an executive committee which is to name the chairman and other officers of the national body, left for New York Sunday. It is understood that the meeting with Mr. Hughes will be held within ten days. REPUBLICANS NOMINATE FOR PRESIDENT,-JUSTICE HUGHES Failure of Bull Moose and G. O. P. to Get Together Results in Overwhelming Vote for Supreme Court Justice. FAIRBANKS OF INDIANA FILLS SECOND PLACE Progressive National Convention Nominates Roosevelt by Acclamation, with Parker of Louisiana as Running Mate—But Colonel Refuses to Accept the Nomination at this Time—Will Probably Support Hughes. Special to The New York Acq. CHICAGO, ILL.—As predicted, the nomination of a candidate for the Presidency by the Republican National Convention was not consummated until Saturday, June 11. Two ballots were taken on Friday, in which favorite sons and others were given the expected complimentary vote. Saturday morning found the delegates ready to finish their work, but some little delay was experienced because of an uncertainty as to what could be done to harmonize interests with Roosevelt and the Progressive party, which was also holding its National Convention in Chicago. Saturday's session was called for 11 o'clock, and long before that time it was clearly evident that, barring some entirely unexpected development from a conference with the Roosevelt interests, the nomination of Charles Evans Hughes was a foregone conclusion. The balloting would be a mere formality, so far as the result was concerned: This did not add to the gayety of the convention. There was a dullness and lack of spirit which was noticeable, but just the same there was an air of determination which seemed to say that "It were well to do quickly" what had to be done. The chairman, Senator Harding, called the convention to order at 11.45 a.m. The appearance upon the platform at 11.30 a.m. of Col. Roosevelt's secretary, John McGrath, aroused instant interest. The coming of any Bull Moose into this Republican assemblage would have been under the tense and delicate circumstances, a matter for comment and curiosity, but the arrival of the Colonel's secretary was a matter for excitement. It was speedily known that he had brought to Chairman Harding a statement from Col. Roosevelt—a communication sent by, the Colonel to the Progressive convention, with the request that it be transmitted to the Republican gathering. Roosevelt's Plea for Harmony. The Republican leaders, Senator Smoot of Utah, Senator Borah of Idaho, ex-Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts, ex-Congressman Johnson of Ohio and Nicholas Murray Butler of New York were already poring over this interesting document for the purpose, it was conjectured, of deciding whether it was wise to read it to the delegates. The high tone adopted by Col. Roosevelt in his plea for harmony was not yet known to the delegates, who had heard only that Col. Roosevelt suggested the name of Senator Lodge as a compromise candidate. Within a few minutes thousands were buzzing over this news. The minutes rolled at each other. The delay was long and evasive. The man in the back room, who were, as usual, accomplishing the real business of the convention, were slow in arriving, and the delegates, quite leaderless, knew not even how to cheer. It was nearly noon, and by this time the news of the peace conference collapse and of the invitation to the Huthes' nomination about the door. There was satisfied excitement. It was a devotion that the Colonel's offer, about to be read to the convention, had made the delegates as individuals, pause to think. It was interesting to observe how the personality of Theodore Roosevelt continued to hear upon the minds of these downright Republicans. The man whose very name they were loath to mention was giving them the greatest concern at the moment they were prepared to select their candidate. At 11:45 a.m. Senators Crane, Smoot and Borah and Dr. Butter, and Mr Johnson came upon the platform, and Chairman Harding called the convention to order. Senator Smoot conferred a moment with the chairman, and there was much whispering in the board of strategy. Praver was offered by the Rev. Dr. Lovie. Then Chairman Harding recognized Senator Smoot for the purpose of reading a further, report on the conference with the Progressives Report of Conferences. Senator Smoot's opening sentences gave the assurance of Hughes' nomination. He read the Progressive reply to Republican overtures, the Republican suggestion that the Progressives consider the name of Justice Hughes, and --- The New York Age IS BELIABLE.

A FILLS SECOND PLACE In Nominates Roosevelt by Accla- nation as Running Mate—But Colonel ation at this Time—Will Probably then said that Justice Hughes' name would go before the Progressive convention. He read Col. Roosevelt's communication to the Progressives in which the Colonel called on men of both parties to unite for patriotism and in which the Colonel put forward the name of his friend Henry Cabot Lodge as a candidate for President who ought to be acceptable to both sides. When Mr. Lodge's name was mentioned most of the delegates from Massachusetts leaped to their feet and cheered energetically, and they were supported by groups of delegates here and there in the hall, but the mass sat coldly. Senator. Smoot finished reading the report and then announced that the Progressive convention had laid upon the table the report of the committee recommending that Justice Hushes' name be placed before the Progressive convention. This announcement created little interest, as such action by the Progressives had been expected. Everybody knew that the cheering, singing, half fanatical delegates to the Bull Moose convention would never seriously consider anybody but 'Col. Roosevelt, and that they had long been out of the grip of Perkins, Johnson and the other leaders, and of the Colonel himself for that matter. The way then was clear: for the publicans to proceed to the issue of Associate Justice Hushes. Roll Call for Nomination. Chairman Harding at 12:30, ordered the roll of States he called on the nomination for President. State Chairman Hayes of Indiana withdrew the name of Charles Warren Fairbanks as a candidate for President. But the Indians were still cheerful because they had inside information that Mr. Fairbanks was to be Mr. Hughes running mate. Senator Wadsworth of New York withdrew Elshu Root at the ceiling and smiled. The triumph of the Hughes candidacy was producing the result which Gov. Whitman may or may not have contemplated when he attached himself to the Hughes boon—it was making Gov. Whitman master of the New York State organization. The defeat of Mr. Root meant the defeat of William Barnes, Jr., for national committeeman. The New Yorkers who had been so loyal and enthusiastic in promoting the candidacy of Mr. Root were not happy. Henry L. Stimson, Otto Bannar, State Senator Hon R. Brown, Senator Wadsworth, Chairman Depew, Job Hedges and National Chairman Hilles were sorely disappointed. He had hoped for better things. They had clung to the last to the belief that a conversational palpably cold to the personality of Justice Hughes might in the end accept Mr. Root on his great record, or that Col. Roosevelt might announce that he would accept Mr. Root if the Republican convention should nominate him. State after State voted solidly for Justice Hughes until Maryland was reached, and a single vote for Theodore Roosevelt was cast. Michigan threw its block of thirty, so briefly possessed by Henry Ford, to the Hughes column. Minnesota piled twenty-four votes on top of Michigan. Mississippi gave three and a half votes to Col Roosevelt and eight and a half votes to Mr. Hughes. Missouri Caste Deciding Vote. Then came the call for Missouri. The vote was Hughes, thirty-four; Weeks, two, and the instant it was announced that justice Hughes became the nominee of Missouri's vote case him a majority. In sporting parlance, Justice Hughes was "in" When the call came for New York Whitman shouted as impressively as possible, "Hughes eighty-seven," but it was a little late. Because of a divided delegation the swing of this mass of votes to Justice Hughes lost dramatic effect. New York had missed its opportunity and the credit had gone to Mistress the same State, by the way, which led the vote from Champ Clark to Wilson in the Democratic convention in Baltimore four years ago. The vote was announced as Hughes, 949; with the rest scattering; Du Pont, 5, Weeks, 3, La Follette, 3, Lodge, 7; Roosevelt, 181; and one not voting. A demonstration was expected, but it failed to materialize. The delegates could not be stirred. Oregon and Ohio tried to start a march around the hall, but gave it up when scarcely fifty of the delegates fell in line. The band tried to help out, but it was of no use. Some of the New York delegates lifted a placard reading "Hughes, Harmony and Home Defence," but nobody seemed to care. Falbanks for Vice-President.

Theodore Roosevelt in declining to run on the Progressive ticket brought a touch of sadness to the hearts of his admirers and a stroke of cruel disappointment to the hearts of his enemies. His enemies were anxiously waiting for the opportunity to accuse him of personal ambition, to say that all he has been preaching during the past months was only in interest of self. His refusal to run on a third ticket, when the probability of his success was far greater than it was four years ago, because he felt that such an action might endanger the success of the principles for which he has been fighting, is absolute: proof of his sincere and unselfish devotion to those principles, if any such proof were needed. This much can never be taken from him; it was he single-handed who aroused the country from its apathy; it was he who outlined the issues on which the Republican party will successfully run. We believe that Colonel Roosevelt will support the party and the nominee in the coming campaign. SOME MORE FOOLISHNESS Wilson, in his makeshift Mexican policy, now proposes to arbitrate with Carranza. This proposition involves a settlement for American lives as well as American property claims and consideration of the withdrawal of the American troops. The truth is, the Administration is simply looking for a loop hole, for some way of escape, for some means of staving off the inevitable a few days longer. It is confronted by Carranza's demand that the American forces be withdrawn from Mexican soil; by Carranza's charge that the troops were sent into Mexico under a false apprehension, so far as the American people were concerned; and by Carranza's intimation that the troops are being held in Mexico for political effect in the United States. The Administration does not meet Carranza squarely on what is the American issue at stake, but true to its habit of indecision and temporization, it proposes a joint convention. What can such a convention do? Can it bring peace to Mexico? Can it protect American lives and property either in Mexico or on this side the border? There is only one thing it can do, it can meet and talk and "string things along" until, perhaps, after the elections are over. However, it is idle to think that in the meantime the Mexicans are going to rest up on their job of making trouble. NOW SANTO DOMINGO. In spite of the President's solemn declaration about the rights of small states to have their sovereignty respected, he is sending U. S. marines to Santo Domingo by transport loads. Evidently when a state is any darker in complexion than Mexico, the present Administration does not regard it as a state. What Wilson does is not so irritating as his saying one thing and doing tly the opposite. VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR HUGHES THE NOMINEE. son of Charles Evans Hughes must know. We know of no other man who have made the defeat of Worcester more certain. There are no defeat Wilson, but, as we say, more of a certainty than Hughes other candidates for the nomination and character, but none of the man availability.

Hughes will be the next President belief that by his acts and war rights, but also for the fair citizens. His record on the Suit relief. The nomination of Charles Evans Hughes means victory for the Republican party. We know of no other man who could have been named who would have made the defeat of Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic party more certain. There are several Republican leaders who could defeat Wilson, but, as we say, none of them could make that defeat more of a certainty than Hughes. Among the other candidates for the nomination there were men of equal ability and character, but none of them could approach Justice Hughes in availability. He was the only Republican of presidential size who had not been forced to take sides in the bitter fight of 1912, and hence, he was the only man who, as the nominee, could assure harmony between the two wings of the party. Nor can he be criticized for having kept out of the fight, for his position made it impossible for him to have done otherwise. In Mr. Hughes, the Republican party has a candidate of the highest order. His ability and character are beyond discussion; and, besides, he holds the confidence of the people. In his telegram of acceptance he states his position on the great issues with a force and clearness and comprehensiveness which, considering its brevity, make the communication nothing short of a miracle in thought expression. No better platform on which to go before the American people will be needed than the one laid down by Justice Hughes in his message of acceptance. As to the preeminence of his qualifications for the presidency of the United States, there can be question; but colored men all over the country have been asking during the past few weeks, "How does Hughes stand toward the Negro?" They concede that, unlike President Wilson, he is a man absolutely free from prejudice, but they point out that as governor of New York he did nothing to indicate special interest in the Negro. They feel that what the race needs in a President is not only mere absence of prejudice, but sympathetic interest. And they have been wondering if Charles E. Hughes has or will develop this sort of interest. In our opinion fears upon this point are needless. As Governor of New York, Mr. Hughes was scarcely called upon to consider the Negro race with regard to its peculiar civic status; but as a member of the Supreme Court, he has been called upon to do so. Let us see what has been his attitude on the bench: Justice Hughes has been on the right side of every question which has come before the Court regarding the rights of the Negro. In his first year on the bench he announced the decision of the Court which held as unconstitutional an Alabama statute sanctioning peonage. Furthermore, it was Justice Hughes who wrote the decision holding the Oklahoma Jim Crow law unconstitutional. In fact, the series of Supreme Court decisions favorable to the Negro began with Justice Hughes' presence on the bench, the Alabama peonage decision being the first. Charles Evan Hughes will be the next President of the United States, and it is our belief that by his acts and words he will stand not only for the fair rights, but also for the fair consideration of colored American citizens. His record on the Supreme Court is the foundation of our belief. FLORIDA POLITICS. the estimates of the recent pact, Trammell, of that state, has be- tate to succeed Senator Bryan. On the paramount issue was go Senator Bryan had one of his Catholic appointed to the postmass ground this appointment that the Governor Trammell being his explanation of the Governor's act the arrest of two Catholic sister ground of violating a law which ask that action to appeal to the fighting Bryan; for if the motive he could have ordered the arre- one of the schools at Jacksonville, but that would not have had required. Arrest of two sisters of charity forous school caused such a sensa- tion to put up some sort of defea- did it. In some of his printem- ment was made: attacked him (Governor Trammell) the enforcement of the law prohibi- Negro schools, but the hosts of supremacy approve his stand ever might be the issue, the Negro buffer, the football of Southern According to the estimates of the recent primary election in Florida, Governor Trammell, of that state, has been elected to the United States Senate to succeed Senator Bryan. In this election, the paramount issue was anti-Catholicism. Some three years ago Senator Bryan had one of his personal friends who is a Roman Catholic appointed to the postmastership at Jacksonville, and it was around this appointment that the fight against him was chiefly made; Governor Trammell being his principal opponent. Here we have an explanation of the Governor's action several weeks ago in ordering the arrest of two Catholic sisters of charity in St. Augustine, on the ground of violating a law which was considered a dead letter. Trammell took that action to appeal to the anti-Catholic element which was fighting Bryan; for if the motive had been merely to enforce the law, he could have ordered the arrest of some of the white teachers in one of the schools at Jacksonville maintained by Northern philanthropy, but that would not have had just the political effect that was desired. However, the arrest of two sisters of charity for teaching colored children in a religious school caused such a sensation that the Governor felt called upon to put up some sort of defense for his action, and this is how he did it. In some of his printed campaign matter the following statement was made: A few have attacked him (Governor Trammel) because he took a firm stand for the enforcement of the law prohibiting white teachers from teaching Negro schools, but the hosts of Democrats who believe in white supremacy approve his stand And so, whatever might be the issue, the Negro still remains the "bogey-man," the buffer, the football of Southern politics.

Jesus Christ had gained in dominie of mankind. mains is that it shall be lifted from made the law of nations," the spets us to lead it out of the blood W. J. Bryan finds it impossible to speak ten minutes without uttering some absurd bit of tommy-rot. From a report of a speech which he recently made at Atlantic City before a religious gathering we clip the following: "Our nation is the greatest in the world. It is next of kin to all engaged in this conflict. They have a right to expect that we will remain the friend of all. Some nation must lift Europe out of the bloody night of war. I plead that honor for our nation." Applause greeted this sentiment, after which Mr. Bryan declared that the law of Jesus Christ had gained in dominion until it is the established law of mankind. "All that remains is that it shall be lifted from the law of the individual and be made the law of nations," the speaker continued. "The world expects us to lead it out of the blood stained record of the past." If this nation believes that some nations are right and others are wrong, how can it honorably maintain the same feeling of friendship for them all? Mr. Bryan pleads the honor for this nation to "lift Europe out of the bloody night of war." He is not pleading for an honor, he is pleading for a bigger job than this nation or any possible combination of nations at present can pull off. Where he gets the information that "the world expects us to lead it out of the blood stained record of the past" we do not know. Mr. Bryan can, no doubt, in his imagination, picture the world breathlessly waiting for some word from the United States which will direct the way to peace, but nobody else can detect any signs of this anxious expectation. As to the law of Jesus Christ having gained dominion until now it is the established law of mankind, we should like to learn from Mr. Bryan the exact date from which he recokns this establishment. We are constrained to say that there are still various parts of the United States in which this dominion is not yet firmly established. And to think, this is the man that Wilson picked for Secretary of State. We say once more that W. J. Bryan is a man preeminently fitted to be the teacher of the infant class in a large Sunday school. AN INTERESTING PARALLEL We desire to call attention to the two following editorials, one from The Age and the other from the New York Sun: (The Age, May 25, 1916) 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. (The Sun, June 10, 1916) DOES THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE HUMANITY INTEREST MR. WILSON? Mr. Wilson has very frankly informed his fellow citizens very frequently of his very sincere desire to serve humanity. We are confident, therefore, that in bringing to his attention an opportunity that lies at his door to achieve his ambition without 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 that 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 people so close to the brute that 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 gasp 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 that he can in writing notes to the Germans about sinking their enemies' ships. We do not pretend to say that the writer on the Sun, in writing his editorial, was influenced by the editorial in The Age, but we are glad to see him expressing exactly the same sentiment. The fact that this sentiment expressed in The Age is revoiced in a paper like the Sun—a great paper, but markedly lacking in friendly feeling for the Negro—is doubly gratifying. RALEIGH, N. C. Raleigh, N. C.-Superinduced by old age, Mrs. Eliza Hays, after a long illness of several months died last Monday morning at her home on Bledsoes avenue, surrounded by five of her six sons and other relatives She was buried from St. Paul A.

The writer imagines that he bears some of his readers say, "That fellow is getting too close to my private affairs—I'll spend my money as it pleases me." The writer's answer is, "Yes, it is your right to do so, but he would urge you to stop and think of the many thousands of young men, young women and other older persons among your number who want clerk's places in Negro grocery stores.

Smith of the State Normal and Industrial School at Fayetteville, N. C., was in the city last Saturday on business with the State Board of Education. Dr. Smith met the writer and complimented him for the effort he is making to educate our people up to the reading of Negro newspapers, co-operate among ourselves in business pursuits, and so create places for our sons and daughters to work in when they leave school. The writer appreciated the compliment. The writer will be frank in saying that these compliments do not "swell his head," but rather act as a stimulus to him in keeping up the fight. Let each' and all of us resolve to do our part in bringing about this most necessary condition among us. We can do it, and do it we must. Let us stop knocking each other and get together. When we think we need a lodge room or church we get together and build it. Why cannot we do the same thing in building houses for the sale of groceries, shoes and driv goods? We (The Sun, June 10, 1916) DOES THIS OPPOR- Mr. Wilson has very frankly informed his fellow citizens very frequently of his very sincere desire to serve humanity. We are confident, therefore, that in bringing to his attention an opportunity that lies at his door to achieve his ambition, without endangering his country's international friendships, we shall not be accused of intrusion or impertinence Of the people of the country whose Chief Executive Mr. Wilson temporarily is practically 10 per cent, are now notoriously most unsatisfactorily situated. They are deprived of the right of self-government, restricted in their movements, condemned to inferior station politically and generally repressed and restrained. The hardships under which they exist are imposed on them in defiance of the Constitution and the statutes enacted in accordance therewith; they are inducted as the result of deliberate design; and unless relief is enforced through the diligence and unsparing labors of a devoted friend of humanity they will continue indefinitely, to the degradation of 10,000,000 men, women and children and the serious impairment of the political structure under which more than 111,289,000 persons live. The 10 per cent. of the people to whom we refer, whose status must exist the thought of statesmen, and whose wrongs should stir the heart of every humanitarian, are the Negroes of continental United States. Their lot is at least as interesting as that of the Filipinos; their future is of grave concern to every citizen of the United States; and how a servant of mankind very frankly and very sincerely devoted to the betterment of conditions can overlook their pilgrit is a mystery of philanthropy Mr Wilson might appropriately undertake to say. spend our money for these necessary wares—why not spend it among ourselves? The writer imagines that he hears some of his readers say, "That fellow is getting too close to my private affairs—I'll spend my money as it pleases me." The writer's answer is, "Yes, it is your right to do so, but he would urge you to stop and think of the many thousands of young men, young women and other older persons among your number who want clerk's places in Negro grocery stores, Negro dry goods stores, Negro shoe stores and Negro insurance offices, that will be open to hire them if you will spend your money in these places. As these businesses grow, more clerks, bookkeepers and stenographers will be employed.

RUSSELL GIBSON FUND HAVING STEADY GROWTH HAVING STEADY GROWTH The children are rallying to the support of Russell Gibson in his effort to augment the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund with contributions of a dime from the boys and girls of the country. Russell started the ball rolling with a dollar received from his father as a reward for excellence in studies. This has been added to gradually and, now the Russell Gibson Dime Fund is assuming respectable proportions. This week brings letters from Mumford, N. X., and from Pittsfield, Mass., the Mumford letter bringing a contribution of 80 cents from eight members of the Second Baptist Church in that town, and the Pittsfield letter bringing $3 contributed by children of the Second Congregational Sunday School. And so the fund grows. Parents, tell your children about it, and give them a chance to develop race pride and patriotism by sending their little dimes to help swell the fund which is intended to perpetuate a memorial of the dead leader whose idea always was to provide larger opportunities for the children of the race.

NEGRO REAL ASSET, SAYS-A SOUTHERNER (Continued from page one) for all peoples, it is gratifying to hear testimony to the correctness of those ideas, if 'suth testimony were needed, and in wih hte best thought of the South will join. "I there are those who would cite the lazy, shiftless, and indolent as typical of the Negro race, but if the same yardstick were applied other branches of the human family might have reason to complain bitterly. Experience has shown that when given the opportunity for painful employment under just and fair conditions, the Negro not only proves in every way his value as a workman, often most skilled, but, above all, there is cultivated in his mind and heart that now too rare feeling of deep interest and loyalty to his employer. When the Southern Negro works for a corporate he calls it 'my company' and never has a bomb been found in his hand nor has he been branded as an anarchist. Under fair treatment his loyalty becomes deep and unchanging and the power of the seeds of discord finds little response to his beguiling or impassioned stories of greener fields to be had for the asking or taking. "A few years ago in his Summer home in the East there passed away an eminent captain of industry who had spent forty years in the South building up a great commercial organization and community: Of master mind, yet with heart of a child, he had met and conquered many problems, all the while dealing with employ. both white and black, so justly as to win their unfailling loyalty and even love. "When the news of his death was flashed back to that Southern com- THE STOR OF THE WESTINGHAM COUNTY DOVELLE PAGE Enclosed please find three dollars, for which send at once, your Taskeegie Edition of Booker T.

If not satisfied, I agree to return the books in good order within five days, and you are to return my three dollars. Tidie not to pass to me until the books are fully paid for. Address ..... munity deep sorrow prevailed, but it remained for one old colored man, who had grown gray in the service of that organization, to take a part of his savings, board a train, and make the thousand-mile journey to be present when his friend was returned to earth. As the cortege was preparing to move this old Negro mounted the funeral car, completed the journey, and remained with the family to the end to drop a last tear. This is but typical of the response of the Southern Negro to the 'helping hand.' "In advance of the Negro's industrial progress has gone very naturally his moral and educational development, and the eagerness with which many are seizing every advantage offered by their institutions plainly foreshadows a still more wonderful development in all those attributes which go to make up citizens of whom we will have no reason to feel ashamed. In the light of these conditions is there not good reason, then, to consider this Southern Negro as one of the South's greatest industrial assets, and does it not behoove Southern industry to deal with him so fairly, so honestly, uprightly to maintain unimpaired that loyalty and strong feeling of common interest found in the heart of this plain, straightforward workingman?" BOLIVAR EXECUTORS MUST PAY DR. JACKSON PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-In the case of Dr. A. B. Jackson against James F. Needham and R. D. Vennings, executors of the Wm. C. Bolivar estate, for professional services rendered during the last illness of the late Wm. C. Bolivar, Judge Dallett, sitting in the Orphans' Court, decided that the sum of $150 must be paid to Dr. Jackson. While it was shown that Dr. Jackson had, for a number of years, the personal physician of the dead man, it was only possible to establish by direct testimony that the physician had not been paid for services rendered during Bolivar's last illness. For this reason the judge scaled the original bill, amounting to $308, down to $150, which the executors were ordered to pay. The executors had ignored Dr. Jackson's bill for $308, but in a conference after the case had opened, offered to give the doctor $50 in settlement, which was refused Attorney John A. Sparks represented Dr. Jackson. HILL KILLED BY TRAIN Rock Hill, S. C.-A. E. Pendergrass, Sr. one of Rock Hill's most prominent Neuro citizens, was killed by a freight train on the Southern Railroad, the accident occurring in the yards of the York- ville Cotton Oil Company. Mr. Pendergrass has for some time been employed by the Southern Railway Company as a car repairer, and he had been sent to York to repair a defective car in the yards of the oil company. A. L. Baldwin, another car repairer, had been working with Mr. Pendergrass, and had left him to signal a freight train to back up to the car that the air brakes might be tested. In consequence Mr. Pendergrass was alone and no one knows just how the accident happened. The body was brought to Rock Hill for burial. A son, Dr. A. E. Pendergrass, Jr., is a practicing physician here, and a daughter, Mrs. Hattie Roberts, lives in Columbus, Ga. DISGUISES AS NEGRO TO SHOOT BANK TELLER Curwenville, Pa.—A white man disguised as a Negro entered the Curwenville National Bank and startled the employees and several depositors by presenting two revolvers. He made no demand for money, but it is believed his intention was robbery. Apparently he became "rattled" when C. S. Russell, president of the bank, moved toward him, and he shot and seriously wounded Harry Hoover, the paying teller. When he shot Mr. Hoover he he had the other pistol levelled at Anthony Hall, the cashier. When Mr. Hoover fell the stranger turned and led to the street. The alarm was given quickly, and after a chase through the street, in which several shots were fired, Deputy Sheriff Chapin seized a man who has been identified as D. O. Downing, a prominent merchant of Tyrone. Mr. Hoover was sent to a hospital, where it was said his wound was serious. JOHN COSTELLO NAMED INSCRION OF DEEP WASHINGTON, D. C.—John F. Costello, a white Democrat, national committeeman for the District of Columbia, was named on June 8 by President Wilson as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia to succeed Henry Lincoln Johnson, who resigned two years ago.

For sixteen years Miss L. A. Lee, 100 Kearney avenue, Jersey City, N. J., has conducted a music studio. For the year ending June 30, 1916, she has had enrolled ninety pupils, and her teaching hours have been from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. All the students receive Miss Lee's personal instruction. The course covers instruction in ten grades, and there have been two pupils, both young ladies, to complete the entire course. In 1914 Miss Helen A. Jackson completed the course and graduated, and this year marks the marriage of Marie S. Prince. graduation of Miss Manne "Exercises attendant upon Miss Prince's graduation were held" Thursday night, June 8, at Philip Hall, Bergen avenue and Montgomery street, Jersey City, and the auditorium was not large enough to accommodate the audience which assembled. Miss Prince appeared in an ambitious program which she rendered with capable power. Her numbers included Coleridge-Taylor's transcription of "Deep River"; the Moonlight Sonata, op. 27, No. 2, by Beethoven; Mendelsohn's Capriccio brillante; technical work, including a trill study by Liszt and octavo study by Kullak; and the Hungarian Rhpsht, No. 2, by Liszt. She also played the primo part in a duet with little Mamie E. J. Warff, one of her pupils, and the accompaniments to a violin solo by Mrs. Marie Wayne Townsend and a soprano solo by Mrs. Ernest Jones. In the Mendelsohn Capriccio the second piano part was played by Marion Smith. Miss Prince is only 15 years old, and will probably continue her piano studies. She gives promise of developing into an excellent pianist, and her future will depend upon the amount of application she gives to study and practice. Miss Lee is the leading music teacher of the race in Jersey City, and it is an indication of her success to note the splendid results achieved in these annual class exhibitions. The development of musical taste and talent in Jersey City is due almost entirely to the pioneer efforts of this talented woman. Another feature of the program was an address by Mrs. Ella Barisaldie Brown, who spoke on "The Great Symphony." Mrs. Brown's address considered music in its relation to life, and compared various phases of human development with different musical terms and relations. She was introduced by Miss Wilfred E. Quinn. The graduation certificate was presented to Miss Prince by Miss Lee, in the absence of Mme. Lee-Strother, who was programed for that duty. Fellow students who assisted on the program were Bertha J. Boyd, Monie J. Beale, Margaret L. Gross, Helen W. Branchcomb, L. C. H. Smith, F. J. Steele. An orchestra from the New Amsterdam Association also assisted, the musicians being Mrs. Marie Wayne Townsend and W. H. Wiggins, violinists; W. H. Hicks, cornetist; R. F. Douge, clarionetist; Miss Minnie Brown, cellist; Duncan Myers, pianist; E. T. Jackson, drums and bells. Mrs. Townand and Mr. Hicks rendered solos. A soprano solo, "La Rose d'Amour," was sung by Mrs. Ernest Jones. She was enthusiastically received and responded with an encore. Dancing followed, the program, with Prof. J. R. Benn as director of ceremonies, the orchestra playing. The annual students' recital was given Friday night at the same place to another overflow audience Artists assisting, in addition to orchestra, were Mrs. Maud H. Cole, contralto, and Miss Helen A. Jackson, pianist. The program was made up of numbers by representatives of all the classes under instruction, from the primary to the eighth grades. There were no ninth-grade mplls this term. Pupils appearing on the program were Beatrice V. Bertio, Cyril A. Chapman, Frances H. Richardson, Hazel C. Cobb, Fern C. Cobb, Dorothy L. Wright, Thelma J. Caron, Hortense H. Thomas, Ethel L. Marshall, Viola L. Spencer, Gladys E. Fox, Ella N. Wells, Wyatt V. McCraw, William W. Harris, Frank W. Johnson, Myrtle E. Danks, Florence E. Smith, Dorothy M. B. Spragues, Elizabeth M. Gross, Marie E. Boyd, Eleanor Q. Cole, Mildred C. Johnson, Jeannette L. Cole, Ethel L. Ford, Rosa V. Jackson, Viola M. Richards, Ella M. Hill, Irven J. Ghee, Margaret P. Randolph, Kathleen B Hope, George D Cannon, Dorothy Lawrence, Ella A Foll, Carmite Davidson, Gladys V. Cannon, Helen A. Gross, C. H. Smith, Wilda A. Tibbs, Marjorie M. Belew, Eda M. Johnson, Raymond Lawrence, Helen G. Hutton and Rufus McCraw Mrs Maud H. Cole sang "Sing Me to Sleep," by Green, accompanied by Miss Jeanette L. Cole and the orchestra, and Miss Helen A. Jackson played a Suite by D.Abbert and the Valse Chromatique by Godard Miss Lee will conduct a summer class for seven weeks, from July 5 to August 19, and her seventh season will open September 5 at her studio, 100 Kearney avenue. THE CLEF CLUB BOYS IN SPRING FESTIVAL (continued from page one) the audience passed from one stage of enjoyment to another. By universal acclaim it was conceded that not even in the old and palmy days of the Clef Club had any performance surpassed this in quality of conception or in perfection of execution. The program was as follows: HENRY TROY, INTERLOCUTOR End Men—1st Edition. TAMBOS RONES James Hunt Wm. Patrick Percy Robinson Harry Haynes 2nd Edition. Tom Bethel Kid Freeze 3rd Edition.

Following the program, the Clef Club orchestra played its most entracing dance music, and until an early hour Saturday morning the folks enjoyed themselves to the limit. The order was splendid, not one unseemly incident occurring to mar the pleasure of the people. A feature of this part of the evening's enjoyment was the playing of the ladies' orchestra from the Lafayette Theatre, under direction of Miss Marie Lucas, which came up to the Casino after the performance at that theatre, and, by request, rendered several dance numbers. AT THE THEATRES. THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE Continuing its policy of presenting plays that have made big hits in the Broadway theatres, the Elite Musical Corporation is giving this week at the Lafayette Theatre, Eugene Elmore, manager, the great politico-legal play, "The Master Mind," written by Daniel Carter, Clarence E. Muse as "The Master Mind" gives a splendid delineation of that character, playing with a well-contained restraint that added force and power. Sidney Kirkpatrick was well suited to the rule of Courtland Wainwright, the ex-district attorney, and his conception was strong and virile. Miss Ruth Cherry was charming and ingenuine in the role of Lucene Blount, alias Maggie Flint, who marries the ex-district attorney. She was sympathetic and sweet in most of the scenes, but fell short a bit in the dramatic scene in the fourth act which takes from the Master Mind the power and the desire to ruin. Miss Laura Bowman as Mrs Blount, alas Milwaukee Sadie, the shoplifter, gave a good characterization, as did *I* Moore as her husband, John Blount, alas the Black Hawk. Mr. Moore, are just a but too much of buffoon, in his simulation of fear of the Master Mind, exciting a humorous reception from the audience by his comicalities rather than by a portrait of weakness, in contrast to a stronger nature. Will Linton, as Marshall, a detective, gave a good account of himself, albeit he was injected into the cast at a rather late hour. Charles Olden, as Walter Blount, alias Diamond Willis, as Bod Carmathere, as Parker, a servant, Arthur T Rave, as Jim Creegan, a crook, and Henry Williams, as Dr. Forbes, an alchemist, made up the rest of the capable cast. The bill for next week will be "Today," a strong and vital drama by George Broadhurst and Abraham Schoner. Stage Director A. C. Winn has drafted, members of his original company for this cast, and he promises that the high standard of work set by the Lafayette Stock will be maintained by this production. The cast will be as follows: Frederick Waener . Lawrence Chenault Henrich Wagner, his father, Babe Townsend Lily Waener, Frederick's wife. Mrs. Chas. H. Anderson Emma Wagner, Frederick's mother. Miss Cleo Desmond Mrs. Garland ..... Miss Jones Mrs. Faringdon ..... Miss Deany George A maul ..... Miss Iris Hall The Lafayette Ladies' Orchestra, Miss Marie Lucas, director, is playing this week, affording the audiences much gratification, the following program. Overture, The Boheman Girl: My Mother's Rose, Cup Hunters, The Girl Who Smiles, Pom Pom, Yaaka Hula Hickey Dula. THE LINCOLN THEATRE. Returning to its original policy of high-class vaudeville and first-run photo plays, the Lincoln is offering this week a bill that attracts large audiences. The bill this week includes star acts by Bonne Dale, singing violinist; Tom Travers, comedy wire act; Thompson, Cooper & Thompson, in a new singing act of class and distinction; Vickerson & Forrest, in a dramatic playlet, "Out-witted." Photo plays for the last half of the week are as follows: Thursday, June 15 (by special request—W. S. Hart in "The Disciple," five acts, and the sensational Keystone comedy, "Saved by Wireless." Friday, June 16—Victor Moore in the startling East Side drama, "Chummie Faddon," five acts, and Verdun War News. Saturday, June 17—Richard Travers, star of "The Battle ofry of Peace," in "The Palace of the King," six acts. Sunday, June 18- The stars of "The Goddess, Anita Stewart and Earl Williams, in "The Sins of the Mother," five acts, and other comedies and dramas. As usual, Bert Williams is a bright star in the production of Ziegfeld's company, which opened in the "Follies of 1916" on Monday night; June 12, at the New Amsterdam Theatre, West Forty-second street. Practically every morning paper in New York on Tuesday morning had something especially nice to say about the colored comedian, one of them referring to him as "The real genius among the lot," which had already been called "the best of its kind." The first part of the play is given as a Shakespearean revue in honor of Shakespeare's tercentenary, and in this part Bert Williams enacts the role of Othello, the jealous Moor. Some of the comments are given below. "You should see the scene from 'Othello,' with Bert. Wilhams not to be outdone by any Frank Tinney as the Moor. He chokes his Desdemona (who has been flirting with one Vernon Cassia) till he is tired and then beats her with a sledgehammer, but it only irritates her. This is the only amusing moment in the Shakespearean revue. You should hear him sing his songs, particularly the one about the nouveau-nieg Negro who renamed his children from the advertisements and Holy Writ, calling the youngest 'Hallud' after 'Hallud be Thy name'. (From the New York World) "The talent assembled on the stage is the best of its kind. Bert Williams, the real genius among the lot, has better opportunities this year than usual." "Somehow neither George V. Hobert nor Gene Buck, who are responsible for the book and lyrics, gave to Bert Williams either the songs, the stories or the atmosphere that for four years have enabled the comedian to convolve audiences with laughter. Despite lack of opportunity, however, he drew many laughs." Memorial Concert Postponed to June 29 The Booker. T. Washington Memorial Concert and Entertainment which was to have been given at Bethel A. M. E. Church, 54-56 West 132nd street Thursday evening, June 15, has been postponed to Thursday evening, June 29.
