In New York the method Much of the fighting is just talk, behind the adversary's back. Your face. Washington, D. C.—Disorganized, displeased, distrustful, discordant! These four words give a bird's-eye view of the colored man's position in New York politics. They tell in a nutshell of conditions as they really and truly exist. One finds in the New York situation a striking analogy between the belligerent colored voters in New York and the warring clans in Mexico. In the City of New York in particular, there are different factions, each fighting for supremacy and engaged in one of the greatest "word-wars" on record. In New York the method of warfare in politics is peculiar. Much of the fighting is just talk, talk, talk, which is usually done behind the adversary's back. Your opponent usually smiles to your face. The central figure in this bloodless conversational battle is Charles W. Anderson, familiarly known to his host or white friends as "Charlie," and referred to by the colored press as "The Hon. Charles W. Anderson, ex-collector of Internal Revenue, and new Supervisor of Agriculture." Mr. Anderson is the principal target, but as he is credited with being the most adept and prolific of all in the slinging of "word missiles," filled with uncomplimentary remarks, it cannot be said that the fight is a one-sided one by any means. against the leadership of Charles W. Anderson have been gathering for the past six years. The first outward storm of opposition occurred four years ago during the Taft campaign, when Mr. Anderson, then Collector of Internal Revenue, attempted to make a speech before a large crowd of infuriated voters in Harlem. They hissed, yelled and made such a disturbance that Mr. Anderson found it necessary to make a hasty retreat from the platform, which was done before white politicians who looked Anderson's Back is to the Wall. For the first time in Mr. Anderson's long political career his enemies have him fighting with his back against the wall. And although it is said open warfare is not usually practised by him, at this important and critical stage he is stirling back in the open as never before. Unfortunately for Mr. Anderson, he is greatly outnumbered. Except for one or two trusted heutens in whom he can implicitly rely, he is compelled to do most of his "playing the enemy" alone. Badly in need of reinforcements Mr. Anderson has taken unto his bosom those whom he most cordially dislikes and who dislike him with equal fervor. Each is playing his peculiar game with something suspicious up his sleeve, and always with an eye on the other fellow. For past events have proved that love and affection of to-day may easily turn into hate and betrayal tomorrow. The ex-Collector of Internal Revenue has one big advantage over his rivals. He is able to get the ear of the political moguls, while the other follows seldom ever see inside where the big politicians hold forth. So white men of influence in the Republican Party are thinking the dove of peace hovers over the colored voters, while, as a matter of fact, a bitter light is raging—one which might prove disastrous to the G. O. P. Revolt Impending Six Years. Mr. Anderson has been deserted by men who fought his battles in season and out of season. They charge their former friend with rank gratitude and double-dealing. But when these trawl supporters begin to tell of how they have been "knocked" by Mr. Anderson they are promptly reminded that a reward will be given to any cloaked man who has engaged apolitics with Charles W. Anderson and escaped condemnation from his lips at some time or another. Even those with whom Mr. Anderson is now fraternizing are "working" with him mindful of most unkind references made of them in the past.

They hissed, yelled and made such a disturbance that Mr. Anderson found it necessary to make a hasty retreat from the platform, which was done before white politicians who looked on in amazement. A more recent outburst against Mr. Anderson's leadership took place several weeks ago in the presence of Col. William Hayward and Capt. Lorillard Spencer, influential in the Whitman Administration, who had been sent to Harlem by the Governor to discuss the question of organizing a colored regiment. Mr. Anderson called the meeting to order, but representatives of the Equity Congress, which organization for years has been fighting for a colored regiment, demanded that Mr. Anderson vacate the chair so that Maj. Charles Fillmore, president of the Equity Congress, might preside. Mr. Anderson, not wishing to get into a heated argument, gracefully vacated the position of honor. Members of the Equity Congress have what they think is a big grievance against Mr. Anderson. They say that for years they worked to secure a colored regiment in New York while he opposed the plan. Mr. Anderson's sudden change of heart in favor of a colored military, organization is looked upon by them as a plot to gain personal political prestige. Fell Down on Appointments. There are voters who look crosseyed at Mr. Anderson because of his alleged non-activity in movements that meant an improvement of the race's civic status in Harlem. It is pointed out that unless Mr. Anderson was at the head of any of these commendable efforts in which it was possible for him to secure a personal boost, he always frowned upon them. Other charges against Mr. Anderson's lack of co-operation in the promotion of matters affecting the Negro in Harlem are that he bitterly opposed the election of Negroes who ran for alderman and assemblyman. Greatest dissatisfaction over the leadership of Mr. Anderson, however, is said to be due to his inability to secure representative political positions for others, although his remarkable ability to land choice plums for himself is generally known.

NEARLY COMPLETED More Than Five Hundred Men Have Been Enrolled Into Five Companies. FILLMORE IS NOW A CAPTAIN Four Colored Officers in 1st Battalion, and Men who are Capable of Qualifying Under the Examination for Officers' Commissions are Urged to Ally Themselves with Regiment. More than five hundred men have been mustered into the 13th Regiment. N. Y. N. G., the organization which is being made up of members of the Negro race, Col. William Hayward, the commander, and Lieut. Col. George F. Hinton, who is assisting him, have been agreeably surprised at the results attained in less than a month. The men mustered in are characterized as the cleanest cut group of men yet received in the National Guard. There is a strong desire on the part of the authorities to give the regiment colored officers, as far as possible, and an effort has been made all along to interest such men as are calculated to make good officers in the movement. It has been emphasized that the standards of this regiment will in no particular be any lower than the standards in any other regiment of the National Guard, and, as a matter of fact, the same standards will prevail as obtain in the regular army. As a consequence candidates for commissions must qualify under rigorous tests, and this means intellectually, physically, morally and from a military standpoint. The failure so far to designate as officers more than four men is to be attributed to the fact that men qualified for these positions have not yet been found, even though many may have already enlisted. It is urgently emphasized that men of the necessary qualifications should ally themselves with the regiment at once. Otherwise, it will necessarily follow that many of the officers will be white men. Four Colored Officers So Far. The first battalion is practically complete. The four companies have been filled in on a minimum basis and company commanders designated. Lieutenant V. W. Tandy and Captain Chas. H. Fillmore, both of whom have successfully completed their examinations, have been commissioned and sworn into the service, and are in command of Companies A and B respectively. Captain V. H. Parks has been designated to command Company C and Lieutenant Wyatt to Company D. As other companies are mustered in commanding officers must be designated and if no colored officer is available a white officer will be selected. Company E, the first company of the second battalion, was mustered into the service at the 23d Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, on last night, with a reported strength of 95 men. These are Brooklyn men, and the other three companies of the second battalion are to be recruited in Brooklyn. The recruiting station is at 114 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn. It is probable that temporarily, at least, the Brooklyn command will be diled at the 23d Regiment Armory, the 23d being now on the Mexican border Recruiting on Company I, the first company of the third battalion, which is to be recruited in Manhattan and the Bronx, is already on the way.

REALISTIC PAINTING OR NEGRO TROOP OF NEGRO TROOPS THE AGE is reproducing on this page a painting just finished by Edw. Elcha, 127 West 135th street, who already enjoys considerable reputation as a photographic artist. His adventure into oil painting evidences that he has artistic ability that is not limited by the cold boundary of the camera. Mr. Elcha has taken as the subject of his painting the gallant stand made by the black troops of the Tenth Cavalry at Carrizal, Mexico, when they were ambushed by more than ten times their number of Mexicans. The result of the sight is history and Mr. Elcha's painting is calculated to keep it constantly in the memory of the members of the race. He has reproduced the Mexican landscape with remarkable fidelity. The scene shows the Negró troopers, few in number, advancing gallantly, and courageously over the Mexican sand hills, even though many of them are falling before the tremendous fire of the embushed Mexicans. The artist has given his painting the title, "our Heroes in Mexico." Photographic reproductions of the painting are being made and will be placed on sale. The photographs will be 8 by 10 inches, mounted on an embossed card, 10 by 12 inches, suitable for framing. The first prints will be reads on Monday, July 31, and will be on sale at the office of THE NEW YORK AGE, 247 West, 40th street, New York. The price will be 35 cents at the office; by mail, 45 cents. H. A. HOWELL ELECTED GRAND K. OF R. AND S At the twenty-seventh annual convention of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A. E., A. A. and A., which met in Ithaca, N. Y., Sir H. Adolph Howell of New York City. was unanimously elected to the office of grand keeper of records and seal. He is also a candidate to succeed himself as grand esteemed lecturing knight in the Grand Lodge of Elks which convenes in Philadelphia in August, 1916. While in Ithaca Mr. Howell was the guest of Forest City Lodge No. 180, I. B. P. O. E. of World, who motored and dined him, extending to him all recognition and courtesies due him as an Elk in conformity with his official standing in the Grand Lodge. A special meeting of the lodge was largely attended and enjoyed by all present. CHILDREN SAVED (Special to The New York Acq.) Philadelphia, Pa.—Several children, living at 87 Synder avenue, were rescued from death by fire by Mrs. Lydia Scott, a colored woman of 2035 South Darien street, who chanced to be passing. The children had started a bonfire under a bed on the second floor in the Snyder avenue house, and their screams attracted Mrs. Scott to their plight. Rushing in she snatched blankets and quilts from the bed and smothered the fire, which had seized the children's clothing. After extinguishing the blaze under the bed she took the children to the street and commanded a passing wagon to take them to the St. Agnes hospital, where those burns were treated. Copyrighted 1916 INTERSTATE DOCTORS IN HEALTH DISCUSSION THE CAUSE OF TUBERCULOSIS Negro Is Not Specially Susceptible to Dread Disease, but It Is Caused by the Unsanitary and Unhygienic Surroundings in which Mass of the Race Is Compelled to Live. Forty-two prominent Negro physicians and dentists from six eastern and New England states assembled last week in New York and formed the Northeastern Interstate Medical Association. These men held three sessions during the day, the last session being for the general public. The organization of this body is the result of the efforts emanating from the various local medical bodies in New York, New Jersey and adjacent states, and marks a commendable development of the idea of getting together for the general good. The morning and afternoon sessions were held at P. S. 89, and the programs consisted of technical and scientific discussions of various subjects* of medical interest, with the election of officers and directors. The keynote of the afternoon session was probably struck by Dr. Chas. A. Lewis of Philadelphia, who read a paper on Tuberculosis of American Negro, Management and Prevention. Dr. Lewis denied that the Negro was especially susceptible to the dread disease but declared that the spread of tuberculosis within the race was due to the fact that Negroes are compelled, through economic conditions, to live in houses which are poorly ventilated and unsanitary. By educating the members of the race to know that their surroundings must be healthful, declared Dr. Lewis, much can be done to curb the spread of the disease. The physicians agreed with the speaker and it was decided that a campaign of education will be waged against the disease. Other papers read at the afternoon session were: Cerebral apoplexy, with case demonstration, Dr. Godfrey Nurse; Application of Mandibular Anesthesia to Dentistry. Dr. Leroy Baxter; Photos of Neurological Work. Dr. R. W. Bailey. Each paper showed thorough preparation, study and acquaintance with the subject dwelt upon, and each subject was discussed by other members. At the night session, a public health meeting was held in Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, West 138th street, when addresses were delivered to a large audience by the Rev. F. M. Hyder of St. James Presbyterian Church, Dr. R. A. Taylor and E. Kinekle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League. The visiting physicians were entertained at the Lybia. Permanent organization was effected at the morning session with the election of the following officers: George T. Cannon, M.D., Jersey City, president. J. Q. McDongald, M.D., Philadelphia, vice-president. T. G. Coates, M.D., Philadelphia, treasurer. BenJ. T. Withers, D.D.S., New York, secretary. (Continued on page two) MEMORIAL SERVICE Englewood, N. J.-Memorial services in honor of the fallen heroes of the Tenth Cavalry were held Tuesday evening in the Saliloh M. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. H. C. M. Van Pelt, pastor, Chas. B. Hinton was master of ceremonies and three ministers spoke. After the audience sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and the pastor prayed, the Rev. Thos. B. Harris, pastor of Bethany Presbyterian Church, spoke "In Memory of the Fallen Soldiers in America." The Rev. R. L. Harris, pastor First Baptist Church, spoke on "The Patriotic Value of the Negro in America," and the Rev. H. C. Van Pelt spoke on "The Negro as a Soldier." The master of ceremonies responded and meeting closed with singing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." NEW ENTERPRISES RESULT FROM BOYCOTT (Special to Tenn. News) (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) Philadelphia, Pa.—N=20,000 stock company has been 'incorporated by the Citizens' Republican Club of this city, Amos Scott, president, to operate a grocery store. Stock was freely subscribed for. As a result of the recent boycott of Jewish merchants on South St., one large meat market and two grocery stores have already been opened and others will be soon. The meat market, opened at 1814 South street, operated by Negroes, sold more than two tons of meat last week to Negro patrons. Another business movement was the organization of the Progressive Business Association, with Grant Williams as president. This body has a membership of 100 and they pledge themselves to patronize race business enterprises, especially those conducted by members of the organization. E. A. Makel: and W. B. Southern are vice-presidents. C. E. Brown, corresponding secretary and A. B. McKinsey, treasurer. ELMER BOWMAN; SONG WRITER DIES SUDDENLY Elmer Bowman, well known and popular in theatrical circles, who wrote the words to the song, "Go Way Back and Sit Down," to which Al Johns composed the music, died early Saturday morning at the Bellevue Hospital of acute indigestion. Mr. Bowman had become a patient at the hospital on July 17 to receive treatment for enlargement of the heart. It is said that he ate something against the advice of attending physicians which brought on additional complications. Funeral services were held over the remains Tuesday evening at Mother Zion M. E. Church in 130th street, the Rev. J. W. Brown officiating, a choir, composed of theatrical folk, rendered musical numbers. Solos were sung by Abbie Mitchell and "Bobbie" Kegip. Elmer Bowman was born in Denver, Colo., September 15, 1877. He first attracted attention in New York as a song writer and was responsible for several popular hits. In recent years he traveled with Julian L'Estrange, the actor. He was a member of the Prince Hall Lodge and the Clet Club. A wife, mother and sister survive him.

PRICE FIVE CENTS DEATH RATE ON COLUMBUS HILL Statement that Excessive Death Rate Obtains Causes Comment. Landlords in that Neighborhood Have Not Improved Old Houses Built Many Years Ago, Which Are Not Sanitary. NEW HOUSES ARE LACKING Even New Houses Supposed to be Model Tenements Have Disadvantage—Small Rooms, Extortionate Rents, and Tenants of Smaller Apartments Must Use Bathroom with Other Tenants. Much comment has been created by statements recently made to the effect that the death rate among the Negro population in the Columbus Hill section, known in former days as San Juan Hill, greatly in excess of the death rate in other sections of the city. The natural inclination would be to make a comparison with that section of the city known as Harlem, because it, too, has a large Negro population. A representative of THE AGE has made careful investigation of some of the conditions existing in the sections referred to, especially the Columbus Hill section, with a view to ascertaining just what foundation there is for such statements, and to discover, if possible, the reason for such a condition, if it exists. Housing conditions have much to do with health rate and special consideration was given to this phase of the matter. The Columbus Hill section is one of the older sections of the city, and many houses in that locality were erected scores of years ago. As a consequence, the congested population is compelled to occupy houses that lack modern amenities, even the most modern sanitary appliances. A half dozen houses visited on several of the streets were found to be without bath rooms; this means that families must perform their ablutions in small foot tubs, on in some instances, in the stationary laundry tub. Toilets Used in Common In many of these old houses are public toilets—that is, toilets to be used in common by all the tenants. Located in the outside halls, it is necessary for tenants to leave their apartments to gain access to these places. And they are open also to anybody who chances to be passing through the halls. This lack of bathing facilities and ordinary sanitary toilet conveniences has much to do with any increase in ill-health among the people of that section. Certain interests have in late years exceded that are called "model tenants" in the columbus Hill section. These houses are supposed to be modern, new-law houses, conforming to all the requirements of the sanitary law. To some extent they do relieve the unpleasant conditions. But there are some features about these houses which are not an advantage. In the first place, the rents, calculated on a weekly basis, average very high for the accommodations given. Then the rooms are small and undesirable, hard to ventilate. This is true of most of the apartments from the smallest to the largest. And another objectionable feature is that some of the smaller and cheaper apartments there are no bath rooms. To meet this requirement, community bath rooms are provided, usually on the first floor, for tenants who occupy these apartments, all the tenants in the building, whether the floor or the top floor, must come to this community bath room or use foot tubs, in the least modern houses of the neighborhood. Janitors of some of the older buildings, when talked to about this condition, have not cared as a rule to express themselves. Their livelihood is gotten in these houses and naturally they hesitate to criticize. But some of them said that it was difficult to get landlords to make necessary repairs or alterations because the houses were kept rented in their present condition with very little of condition a tenant moved out because of condition and telling others were willing and waiting to take the room. It seems to mean, therefore, that hygienic and unsanitary conditions, which naturally would increase sickness and mortality, must be attributable to the landlords, who think only of the financial return on their investment. Harlem Houses More Modern The Harlem housing condition is better, to some extent, because that section was opened up at a more recent date, and as a consequence the houses are more modern. But even so, there are a number of apartment houses in Harlem that lack hygienic and sanitary improvements. The opening up of additional new-law houses, however, which is constantly going on, offers to the Harlem tenant an opportunity to move out of the old-fashioned houses and take quarters in the house with modern convenience. If it is true that there is an excessive death rate in the Columbus Hill section, the cause can undoubtedly be traced to the policy of the property owners, most of whom, by the way, are not residents of the section. This policy seems to be to furnish only the accommodations in the way of living quarters or the tenants which will return the greatest interest on the investment. Touses built seventy-five to ninety years two-lack in most instances all the comforts and conveniences which will afford sanitary modes of living. Probably by making reasonable expenditures land-ords could change this condition and bring these apartments to conform to the modern home from a hygienic stand-point.

BAUM'S FAMOUS There seems, however, to be a harmony of action among the property owners indicating that they consider itolly to spend good money to make good homes for tenants who can be compelled to take whatever is offered because of economic conditions. In the face of this fact it also appears that another class of landlord, the class who builds model tenements, finds it to be a decidedly lucrative investment because of the case with which his apartments are rented to anxious tenants at a largely increased rental. And that is true, even though the model tenement does not afford an ideal home. Of course, the tree use of soap, water and labor will overcome to a degree some of the disadvantages, and it is to be remarked that in many of these houses a scrupulous degree of cleanliness exists. In others the surroundings seem to breed indifference, with a result that uncleanness is added to the other had conditions. And this naturally induces to sickness. From the information obtainable it would appear that if the landlords would improve their holdings they would enhance the physical value of their properties. The parents of this neighborhood are being urged by the Rev. Geo. H. Sims, pastor of the Union Baptist Church, the Rev. John W. Johnson, rector of St. Cyprians, who has for some time been conducting a milk station in his church, and other influential men and women of the community, to patronize to a greater extent the milk stations and day nurseries; by doing this, the death rate of the children will undoubtedly be decreased. As to the housing conditions, includes congestion of families in unsanitary homes, there is work for the Board of Health and the Tenement House Commission, which should be attended to without delay in the light of facts here presented. 15TH. REGIMENT N. G. IS NEARLY COMPLETED (Continued from page one) Jamaica' and Mount Vernon have sent in applications for permission to culist recruits. To Have Armory A temporary armory for the 15th regiment is being arranged for by Col. Hayward, in connection with the city authorities, the Armory Board and the Sinkink Fund Commission. The Commission based on the use of Young's Casino 134th street and Park avenue, at a meeting held Wednesday night, and it is probable that building will be secured for a temporary armory. But in the meantime the real estate branch is arranging for the erection of a permanent armory, which will probably cost not less than a million dollars. The examining board, Major Hotchkiss, Captain Davis and Lieutenants Barrows and McSweeney, all of the regular army, say that the men examined represent as high a type of manhood as they have come in contact with. Practically every trade and profession is represented. Many chauffeurs and mechanics are enlisted, and it is Colonel Hayward's intention to organize these men into a machine gun company. Many men who have had previous military experience in the regular army and in other military organizations are enrolling in the 15th. The recruiting of the second battalion in Brooklyn is in charge of Major Monson Morris. Capt. Fillmore's Record. Captain Charles H. Fillmore is the second Negro to pass the examination for a commission and he was sworn on Monday of this week, with commission as of date of July 17. He has had considerable military experience. When a lad he was marker for the Duquesne Blues, Springfield, Ohio. He served for five years, then re-enlisted as a private. He attained the rank of sergeant before being discharged. When the 9th Ohio battalion was created he enlisted as a private; was commissioned first lieutenant November 21, 1896, became a major February 25, 1892; was honorably discharged April 14, 1899. He was commissioned as a first lieutenant of the 9th U. S. Volunteer Infantry, for the Spanish-American War, and commanded Company F of this regiment during the Cuban campaign. He served as battalion adjutant of the second battalion, and saw service at Santiago, San Juan Hill and San Luis, Cuba. He was mustered out November 15, 1898. He came to New York five years ago and has worked consistently and energetically for the establishment of a Negro regiment in the New York National Guard. He organized a provisional regiment of about a thousand men and was its first commander. New Recruits in 1st Batalion. The four companies of the first battalion have been recruited up to their minimum strength of seventy men, and turned over to their designated commanders for recruiting to full strength. The new recruits added to these companies since they were mustered in are follows: Company A—Felix A Ortiz, junior, Gordon H. Jones, Lewis Andrews, Isaac Bailey, Wm. M.

McCov) Durham, N.C.-The writer visited Durham a few weeks ago to look on the Interdenominational Sunday School convention who welcomed in the White Rock Baptist Church, June 27 to 30. While in Durham I made it my business to visit the home office of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Company on Parrish street, right in the heart of the business center of that city. As a general rule buildings owned and occupied by colored people officers, stores, and what not, can be easily picked out from among those owned and occupied by people of the opposite race, because of the generally neglected appearance of the building in that the window panes are broken out or cracked, window glasses dirty, front walls unpainted and sidewalks in bad condition. These are some of the signs that tell a visitor that colored people occupy the building or premises. It is indeed gratifying to the writer to note that this general rule failed to work when he approached the home office of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Co. He found a neatly painted two-story brick structure, clean glass windows and doors and a neat sidewalk. All the stores, including the colored bank occupying the first floor were neat looking and well stocked with goods. The hall and stairway leading up to the second floor were clean and inviting. On reaching the top of the sairway I found the hall fitted up as an office with fine looking desk, chairs and other office fixtures. Mr. Spaulding, brother to the general business manager, met me and showed me into the office of J. M Avery, the assistant general manager, who made me feel at home.

Y. - The following account of injury to Miss Vivian Carter, the Auburn correspondent to The Age, which happened to her in Ithaca, where she went to attend the Grand Lodge, K. of P., as taken from the Ithaca Daily News, July 20 Miss Vivian Catter of Auburn, one of the visitors here for the state convention of the colored Knights of Pythias, was bruised about the head and shoulders shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when a Stewart Avenue car on which she was riding up the hill collided with the work car on "the lookout" near the Twentieth residence The regular car was one of the open type, and was proceeding up the hill at the time. The work car crew was loading a large tool box in the rear of the Twesten residence, where they had been working all day. The track at that place is practically straight for a distance of about 100 feet, and the only explanation of the accident is that the motorman of the regular car, Q. I. Cowens, did not see the work car until it was too late to entirely stop his own car. The damage to both cars amounts to less than $25. Miss Carter was riding on the left side of the up-bound car, and the only explanation is that she fell off as the result of the shock of collision or fell in attempting to alight, hurriedly after the crash. Six other people on the car were thrown against the lacks of seats but were not injured. Miss Carter, who was badly frightened, was taken to the home of friends at 516 South Plain Street, where she was attended by a physician. Her injuries are not considered serious. Advices from Ithaca are to the effect that Mrs. Carter is improving and expects to return to Auburn this week. The picture of the A. M. E.

This policy seems to be to furnish only the accommodations in the way of living-quarters or the tenants which will return the greatest interest on the investment. Houses built seventy-five to ninety years do lack in most instances all the comforts and conveniences which will afford sanitary modes of living.

BAUM'S FAMOUS HARP SUCCESS BOMADE There seems, however, to be a harmony of action among the property owners indicating that they consider itolly to spend good money to make good homes for tenants who can be compelled to take whatever is offered because of economic conditions. In the face of this tact it also appears that another class of landlord, the class who builds model tenements, finds it to be a decidedly lucrative investment because of the case with which his apartments are rented to anxious tenants at a largely increased rental. And that is true, even though the model tenement does not afford an ideal home. Of course, the tree use of soap, water and labor will overcome to a degree some of the disadvantages, and it is to be remarked that in many of these houses a saturated degree of cleanliness exists. In others the surroundings seem to breed indifference, with a result that uncleanness is added to the other bad conditions. And this naturally induces to sickness. From the information obtainable it would appear that if the landlords would improve their holdings they would enhance the physical value of their properties. The parents of this neighborhood are being urged by the Rev. Geo. H. Sims, pastor of the Union Baptist Church the Rev. John W. Johnson, rector of St Cyprians, who has for some time been conducting a milk station in his church and other influential men and women of the community, to patronize to a greater extent the milk stations and day nurseries; by doing this, the death rate of the children will undoubtedly be decreased. As to the housing conditions, which includes congestion of families in unsanitary and unhygienic surroundings, there is work for the Board of Health and the Tenement House Commission, which should be attended to without delay in the light of facts here presented. 15TH REGIMENT, N. G. IS NEARLY COMPLETED (Continued from page one) Tamaica and Mount Vernon have sent in applications for permission to enlist recruits. To Have Armory. A temporary armory for the 15th regiment is being arranged for by Col Hayward, in connection with the city authorities, the Armory Board and the Sinkink Fund Commission The Commission based on the use of Young's Casino 134th street and Park avenue, at a meeting held Wednesday night, and it is probable that building will be secured for a temporary armory. But in the meantime the real estate branch is arranging for the erection of a permanent armory, which will probably cost not less than a million dollars The examining board, Major Hothokiss, Captain Davis and Lacunants Barrows and McSweeney, all of the regular army, say that the men examined represent as high a type of manhood as they have come in contact with. Practically every trade and profession is represented. Many chauffeurs and mechanics are enlisted, and it is Colonel Hayward's intention to organize these men into a machine gun company. Many men who have had previous military experience in the regular army and in other military organizations are enrolling in the 15th. The recruiting of the second battalion in Brooklyn is in charge of Major Monson Morris. Capt. Fillmore's Record. Captain Charles H Fillmore is the second Negro to pass the examination for a commission and he was sworn on Monday of this week, with commission as of date of July 17. He has had considerable military experience. When a lad he was marker for the Duquesne Blues, Springfield, Ohio. He served for five years, then re-enlisted as a private. He attained the rank of sergeant before being discharged. When the 9th U. battalion was created he enlisted as a private; was commissioned first lieutenant November 21, 1896, became a major February 25, 1897; was honorably discharged April 14, 1899. He was commissioned as a first lieutenant of the 9th U. S. Volunteer Infantry, for the Spanish-American War, and commanded Company F of this regiment during the Cuban campaign. He served as battalion adjutant of the second battalion, and saw service at Santiago, San Juan Hill and San Luis, Cuba. He was mustered out November 15, 1898. He came to New York five years ago and has worked consistently and energetically for the establishment of a Negro regiment in the New York National Guard. He organized a provisional regiment of about a thousand men and was its first commander.

MUTUAL AND PROVIDENT INS. CO (By T. L. McCov) Durham, N.C.—The writer visited Durham a few weeks ago to look on the Interdimensional Sunday School convention who be convened in the White Rock Baptist Church, June 27 at 10:30. While in Durham I made it my business to visit the house office of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Company on Perrish street right in the heart of the business center of that city. As a general rule buildings owned and occupied by colored people officers, stores and what not, can be easily picked out from among those owned and occupied by people of the opposite race, because of the generally neglected appearance of the building in that the window panes are broken out or cracked, window glasses dirty, front walls unpainted and sidewalks in bad condition. These are some of the signs that tell a visitor that colored people occupy the building or premises. It is indeed gratifying to the writer to note that this general rule failed to work when he approached the home office of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Co. He found a neatly painted two-story brick structure, clean glass windows and doors and a neat sidewalk. All the stores, including the colored bank occupying the first floor were neat looking and well stocked with goods. The hall and stairway leading up to the second floor were clean and inviting. On reaching the top of the sairway I found the hall fitted up as an office with fine looking desk, chairs and other office fixtures. Mr Spaulding, brother to the general business manager, met me and showed me into the office of J M Avery, the assistant general manager; who made me feel at home. Mr Avery was busy looking after his office work, looking over the office mail which had just come in and dictating replies to his office stenographer, which meant hundreds of letters to be dictated, typewritten and mailed each day to nearly one thousand agents and other persons having business with the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Co. Mr. Avery is affable and courteous. He not only makes friends with those whom he meets, but has the knack of holding the friendship-gained It was conducted into the general manager's office, C. C. Spaulding's who was absent, but his stenographer an intelligent looking young woman greeted me and assured me that the general manager would be in his office in a short time and would be delighted to meet me. The adjoining room to the general manager, is the secretary and treasurer's office, Dr. A. M. Moore, He, too, was absent. Mr. Spaulding, my acting guide, told me all the checks drawn for the transaction of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Co.'s business are signed by Dr Moore in this room and mailed out to the district superintendents in Nort hand South Carolina, Georgia and the District of Columbia territories covered by this insurance company. The next room entered was the general accountant's office. Here we found Mr. Dyer, general accountant, busy up to his neck, so to speak, adjusting figures and arranging accounts for this large business concern. I the next room entered I saw a score of young EST. ALL MRS. EST. ALL WHITE-DUNCAN HAIR WORKER 10 Prescott St, Jersey City, N. J. Wigs, Braide, Banga, Pompadour, Pompadour, any style.

A. men and women seated at desks and tables busily engaged in office work, some typewriting, some tabulating, some preparing office literature for making out to agents. To make a long story short, they were all busily engaged in doing something that told me that this is a busy place. I entered the hall or office of the president, John Merick. Here I was told that by reason of the phenomenal expansion of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Company's business, the president was compelled to occupy the hall as his office, until the company moves into their new office building, soon to be erected on a lot recently purchased in this city. Before taking my departure from this building, J.M. Avery kindly presented me with souvenirs consisting of a neat little clothes brush and a pocket hooking glass, each bearing the stamp of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Co. I am not inclined to flattery. My general inclination is to speak and write as I see things. My visit to the home office of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Co. of Durham, N.C. has not only pleased but astonished me. Here I saw and learned what progress this Negro insurance company has an dis making in the business world. I also learned that this insurance company, in order to safeguard its policy Holders against any loss have on deposit in the State Treasurers office, more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Y - The following account of injury to Miss Vivian Carter, the Auburn correspondent to The Age, which happened to her in Ithaca, where she went to attend the Grand Lodge, K. of P., is taken from the Ithaca Daily News, July 20. Miss Vivian Catter of Auburn, one of the visitors here for the state convention of the colored Knights of Pythias, was brushed about the head and shoulders shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when a Stewart Avenue car on which she was riding up the hill collided with the work car on "the lookout" near the Twentest residence. The regular car was one of the open type, and was proceeding up the hill at the time. The work car crew was leading a large tool box in the rear of the Twesten residence, where they had been working all day. The track at that place is practically straight for a distance of about 100 feet, and the only explanation of the accident is that the motorman of the regular car, Q. J. Cowens, did not see the workcar until it was too late to entirely stop his car. The damage to both cars amounts to less than $25. Miss Carter was riding on the left side of the up-bound car, and the only explanation is that she fell off as the result of the shock of collision or fell in attempting to alight hurriedly after the crash. Six other people on the car were thrown against the backs of seats but were not injured. Miss Carter, who was badly frightened, was taken to the home of friends at 516 South Phan Street, where she was attended by a physician. Her injuries are not considered serious. Advice from Ithaca are to the effect that Miss Carter is improving and expects to return to Auburn this week. The picture of the A. M. E.

THE AGE is starting early in its fall house-cleaning. We intend to make a thorough job of it. We are not too proud to fight, nor are we afraid to fight, especially when a principle is involved. Every dog has his day. In politics it is seldom that you enjoy the same number of lives as a cat—nine. The editor of THE AGE would not accept the political leadership in New York County if offered him on a silver platter. So get that idea out of your head The colored voters want an organization within the party organization, reserving the right to select their own people worthy of political recognition. Damning the editors of THE AGE when you do not need their influence and tickling their vanity by "salving" them when you want favors is a thing of the past. Negro newspapers should occupy the same high ground as white newspapers. They make the politicians come to them instead of crawling around after the politicians. Was it Abraham Lincoln who said "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time?" Before attempting to be a national figure you must first be strong at home. If you can't organize the colored voters in your own home town, what good can you do elsewhere? Fighting within the party is a right and a privilege. But The Age has been consistent in its Republicanism year in and year out. Not Democratic one day and Progressive the next. It certainly would be embarrassing to some if a primary was held in New York to settle the question of leadership. The vote in Harlem, for instance, would be most disconcerting. A vital question involved is: Do the political chieftains want to be fooled longer about the colored voters or do they want to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Playing one Negro against the other to keep up strife, thereby killing off promising rivals, is a vicious game and should be generally-regarded as a sin and a crime the same as robbery and blackmail. What objection could the leaders of the party have to the formation of a strong State organization made up of Negro representatives from every county in the State, this organization to choose its leader? There is no need of sending emissaries to "pull off" THE AGE. We wear no man's collar-colored or white. A deep-dyed-in-the-wool Republican paper, but independent when principle and right are at issue. Negroes should not be too harsh on the Republican chiefs for the scant recognition they have received lately. The dispensers of patronage have been led to believe that the colored voters were happy and contented. THE AGE hopes it will not be necessary to produce proof that the rank and file of the colored voters throughout the country demand that all their leaders be men of character and enjoy the confidence of the people. Ask the big politicians to give the names of twelve representative colored men in New York and they could not to save their lives. Why? Because they have been led to believe that there is but one "big Negro" in this community. Either the race has been grossly misrepresented or else the Negro is in a very bad plight. VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR National Association of Postmasters meeting. The President addressed the assembly said in part: "Of you, I am told, if not all of you, bear present administration. That sets me free; I might not otherwise." Message I would bring to-night as: Let us be, let us prove to the people of the United States what they want and are ready to do it better they can find." President started a sentence with "If you did was drowned out by cries of "we arerage that the President "would" bring-oses bring, for the postmasters to band-been necessary. The postmasters apper, even though the bonds uniting them the desire to better the mail service. Works of the speech made by Postmaster City: Some, my fellow postmasters, and remembered to all the nations of this earth is the revered row Wilson." Reported that the postmasters rose up and be the president of the Association, wield for order. Never has the common band of Democratis are afraid that he's got "the greatest earth" mixed up with his holding of Oklahoma City. The National Association of Postmasters met last week in Washington. The President addressed the assembly at one of the meetings and said in part: "Most of you, I am told, if not all of you, bear commissions from the present administration. That sets me free to say some things that I might not otherwise." "The message I would bring to-night is: Let us band ourselves together and let us prove to the people of the United States that we understand what they want and are ready to do it better than anybody else they can find." Once the President started a sentence with "If you are all Democrats——" and was drowned out by cries of "we are, we are." The message that the President "would" bring,—mark you, not the one he does bring, for the postmasters to band together seems not to have been necessary. The postmasters appear to be well banded together, even though the bonds uniting them are not made up solely of the desire to better the mail service. Listen to the closing remarks of the speech made by Postmaster Weaver of Oklahoma City: "Go home; my fellow postmasters, and remember that the greatest good to all the nations of this earth is the reflection, thank God, of Woodrow Wilson." It is reported that the postmasters rose up and cheered the speaker, while the president of the Association, who scented the danger, rapped for order. Mr. Weaver has the common band of Democratic oratory down pat, but we are afraid that he's got "the greatest good to all the nations of this earth" mixed up with his holding on to the job of postmaster at Oklahoma City. there is much or little in the science of handwriting, we do not know; but there is that character may be read from what a numer in which he naturally and habitually opportunity for character study of the resident Wilson's recent letter to Congress brief one; it is made up of only two senators regular Wilson vein, and is long endured chief Wilsonian traits of character. It calls one of these traits and the second there is the letter: Dear Mr. Kent: It gratifies me very much that selected as the chairman of the Woodrow Wilson and that you should be willing to support of independent men whose of whose purposes are my purposes also gives me agreement not only, but makes me feel that the country are clearing for a new and more in the work of advancing all reasonable reformation. Cordially and sincerely yours, Whether there is much or little in the science of reading character from handwriting, we do not know; but there is no doubt about the fact that character may be read from what a person writes, from the manner in which he naturally and habitually expresses himself. Another opportunity for character study of this kind is furnished by President Wilson's recent letter to Congressman Kent. The letter is a brief one; it is made up of only two sentences, but it is written in the regular Wilson vein, and is long enough to clearly reveal the two chief Wilsonian traits of character. In fact, the first sentence reveals one of these traits and the second sentence reveals the other. Here is the letter: "My Dear Mr. Kent: It gratifies me very much that you should have been selected as the chairman of the Woodrow Wilson Independent League and that you should be willing to serve in that capacity. The support of independent men whose convictions I share and whose purposes are my purposes also gives me the greatest encouragement not only, but makes me feel that the political processes of the country are clearing for a new and more effective combination in the work of advancing all reasonable reform to early consummation. Cordially and sincerely yours, at sentence, note the intrusive presence of which is the natural state of the Wilson man, seven lines which ought to be direct, simply with such circumlocutions as "that you and "that you should be willing to seize a man who thinks clearly and direct the means and means exactly what he has words to convey just that impression have written the first sentence of the Prussian Kent?

Who can now be chosen he toured the country some months. United States was in imminent danger and tiredness, had for his main object the seer or merely the forestalling of Theodore the second sentence of the above letter, Wilson's love of revelling in a concatenation and mean nothing. In the first sentence, note the intrusive presence of the subjunctive mood, which is the natural state of the Wilson mind. Here, less than a half dozen lines which ought to be direct, simple and sincere are loaded down with such circumlocutions as "that you should have been selected" and "that you should be willing to serve." How would a man who thinks clearly and directly, who says exactly what he means and means exactly what he says, and who intends for his words to convey just that impression, how would such a man have written the first sentence of the President's letter to Congressman Kent? He would have written it as follows: "Dear Mr. Kent. "It gratifies me that you have been selected as chairman of the Woodrow Wilson Independent League, and that you are willing to serve." But President Wilson does not write direct, decisive English because his mind does not work directly and decisively. There is always the impression of saying something and at the same time not saying it, the impression of holding open a loophole, never the impression of going straight and clean to the object. This trait of character which is indicated in the way Mr. Wilson writes is absolutely verified in the way he acts. Even when he appears to be going straight and clean to the object, there is always, somehow, the impression that the object he seems to be going after is not the main object in his mind. Who can now be certain whether Mr. Wilson when he toured the country some months ago declaring that the United States was in imminent danger and pleading for national preparedness, had for his main object the securing of such preparedness or merely the forestalling of Theodore Roosevelt? As for the second sentence of the above letter, it simply exemplifies Mr. Wilson's love of revelling in a concatenation of words that sound well and mean nothing.

In our article last week we pointed out what it will mean economically, socially and politically, to the race if colored men get and hold the work on which the Irish in this country rose to independence and power, and which the Italians and Greeks were using as a stepping stone. It is clear, however, that the lasting advantages depend not upon obtaining this work, but upon holding it. The Negro now has the opportunity of obtaining the work; the question arises, can he hold it? If in two, five or ten years the flood of foreign immigration again sets in and the Italians and Greeks come back looking for their jobs, will the Negro be able to withstand the competition and hold his own? These are questions which should be the concern of all thoughtful colored people and the special concern of race organizations in this section of the country. These men who are coming North to work are men who are used to hard and steady work in the South, but their new work will be under changed conditions. They will have to face new problems and new temptations. Along with them are coming the human hyenas who always follow labor camps, the card sharps, the crap-shooters, and the bootleggers. These camp followers are coming not to work, but to induce the men to gamble away their wages, to get drunk, and to be the cause of fights and even killings among them. There is a responsibility upon the colored people of this section to do all they can for the moral and social welfare of these working men, to help them to better their condition and make themselves more fit to hold their jobs. Here is a wide field for the ministers of churches near the places where these men may be at work. And are there not some special steps that might be taken by such organizations as the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People?

New York is due to have some big volcanic eruptions of a political nature. THE AGE is not seeking kind applause. A newspaper and a ball player usually undergo similar experiences—applauded one day and criticized the next. Neither applause nor criticism, however, is going to stop us from carrying out our purpose to conscientiously serve the public to the best of our ability. There must be something wrong somehow and somewhere when any individual wants to be the leading citizen, the leading politician, the leading office holder, the leading minister, the leading orator, the leading writer, the leading lawyer, the leading doctor, the leading merchant, the leading real estate dealer, the leading turiman, the leading barber, the leading saloonman, the leading Pullman porter, the leading waiter, the leading "red cap," the leading bellboy, the leading hair culturest and the leading housemaid. Such a state of mind is an obsession of the worst kind, and does irreparable injury to the individual, to the race and to the public. TO BE EXCUSED Henry McIntyre, a colored man in Chicago, believing himself to be a prophet sent to deliver the American Negro, ran amuck and killed a half dozen people before the police surrounded a house in which he, and his wife had taken refuge and dynamitted them both to death. It can be truthfully said that any colored man, unless he be exceptionally strong-minded, who thinks long and continuously upon certain conditions of the American Negro, is to be excused for going insane and shooting things up. THE EIGHTING TENTH THE FIGHTING TENTH. In the New York Sun of Sunday, July 16, Major Frank Keck, formerly of the 71st Regiment; N. Y. N. C., and Captain of the 42nd United States Volunteers, pays a fine tribute to the Tenth Cavalry. He traces the history of the regiment from its organization in 1866, and cites many incidents of general and individual bravery on the part of its members. We quote a few excerpts from the article: The charge of the Tenth up the steep and tangled slope of San Juan Hill will always have a place in the military annals of the world. That exploit was a big moment of American history. One of the strong features of the conduct of the Tenth at San Juan was its fine sense of discipline, of self-control, and its exhibition of repression under the most trying conditions. \* \* \* The achievements of the Tenth were the admiration of the foreign military observers who accompanied our expedition. They did not hesitate to assert their belief that the dismounted colored troops were the very backbone of the American attack. It is not my purpose, at this late day, to write in any spirit of carping criticism, yet I feel that, owing to the spectacular leadership of one volunteer organization, the Tenth has never had full recognition from the public for its work in Cuba, although no meed of official praise has ever been withheld, as the records of the War Department show. Certain it is that the Tenth got the Rough Riders out of a bad hole at Las Guasimas. Their timely arrival avoided a greater disaster to the Rough Riders in the first land engagement near Santiago. The Tenth is a military mechanism, of course, but also it is an institution pervaded by an ideal I know of no regiment which has a higher sense of duty both among the officers and in the ranks. * * * There is no regiment in the regular service which has greater esprit de corps or more pride in its traditions. That is why, when circumstances permit, these black cavalrymen are so smart in their attire and have the air peculiar to crack regiments everywhere. They are unusually particular about their appearance when not engaged in grim business. Whether swinging along on the Western plains looking for outlaws or hostile Indians, or charging up heights crowned with deadly fire, they glow with the ardor which has made heroes since the world began. Kipling, in one of his poems pays tribute to Fuzzy Wuzzy of the Sudan, the first class fighting main. One day some one will write a poem, I hope, which will give all credit to these horsemen of ours, who know no fear and are ever prepared to do their duty for the honor of their country and their flag. *** We trust that some day the whole country will come to know the courage and worth of the black men who wear the uniform. And yet we are not sure that the race itself realizes what a great regiment the Tenth is; that it is known and recognized by military men in all countries as one of the crack fighting organizations of the world. Major Keck's article makes a splendid clipping for the scrap-book. The Sun's heading for the article, "Brave Hearts. Beneath Black Skins of Fighting Tenth" was all that could be desired, but we wish that more fitting words might have been found for the sub-heads. WHERE THE GUILT LIES. WHERE THE GUILT LIES. There is hardly a paper in the South that would defend slavery, but many of them still try to lessen the guilt of the South by sharing it with New England. The following paragraph is clipped from a long editorial in a prominent Southern daily: New England bought the slaves and sold the slaves; was it deeper guilt to own the slaves? The South had no connection with the horrors of the passage—that belongs to New England alone except that Spain and England had been guilty. This is pure sophistry. Grant that certain New England shipowners and sea captains did engage in the slave trade, is New England, for acts committed by individuals outside and beyond its jurisdiction, to be judged equally guilty with the South for practicing, legalizing and protecting a great crime within her borders? To say that New England as a whole was engaged in the slave trade is absurd. To say that the South as a whole practiced slavery is a fact. SPEAK OUT. DELEGATES. R. J. Davis, of the Atlanta Independent, has told of his efforts in trying to have inserted in the Republican platform a plank condemning lynching and oiling the civil rights of the Negro. The New York Age in its latest issue, commenting thereon, calls upon the other Negro delegates, among them Dr. J. R. Levy and Maj. J. H. Fordham, to give an account of their stewardship. We think that is proper. We have a faint recollection of the great promises made by some of our delegates before the State Convention along this same line. Speak up, brethren. Don't wait until you become candidate again. Nothing was done. Now, why, and what did you do? -The Southern Indicator, Columbus, S. C. (Not only the South Carolina delegates, but men from other states as well, are invited to "Speak Out, Delegates." The column of The Age is open to all) HEROES OF THE TENTH HEROES ALLI (From New Orleans American) The fact is not without significance that the first American troops to one counter a baptism of fire in the course of our Mexican propaganda were members of the Tenth Cavalry, a Negro troop with an enviable record as constituents of our pitifully inadequate regular army. It is not less significant that they should have borne the battle with a measure of heroism which was thoroughly in keeping with the precedents of other years when the American soldier has earned a notable record. The story of that flight in Mexico is one to stir the blood of patriots and patrols-to-be. Ounumbered and fighting on enemy's ground, the Tenth Cavalry charged an enemy concealed by natural defenses and in possession of a machine gun—the most murderous of all implements of modern warfare. Their officers dead or wounded, they fought until practically wiped out, then refreshed in good order to fight another day. It is upon the valor of such men that America has built her prestige and with their names that she has embellished her Lalls of fame. If there be anything which might add to the glory of that fight in the Mexican wilderness, more than twenty miles from a supporting column, it can be noted in the fact that the Tenth Carvalry is a Negro troop, commanded, it is true, by white officers but complemented by Negroes who have chosen as their badge of service a khaki uniform and as their arm an American service rifle. He lives beat who serves best, and to those citizens whose place in the social unstruct is determined by the quality of the service they give, and in point of fact to all citizens in all walks of life, the lesson which the "Tenth" has wrought into the tapestry of American pride and prestige should be a lasting one. There was "nether East nor West border, nor breed, nor birth" on the blood-stained sands of Carralig. THE RUSSELL GIBSON DIME FUND FOR BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL 1. Let your children send in their dime to the Russell Gibson Dime Fund to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Bach contribution will be acknowledged through The Aga to those heroes of chony image who gave their lives for ideals which are American and for a sorely which can have no better close than a soldier grave we of another race can do less than spray our hearts in grateful acknowledgment. However much a sorry world may go a sorry way in the pursuit of war and bloodyhed, we can but feel that that heroic of Carzal are at rest with the great Amercan who enamored them. THE BRAVEST OF THE BRAV (From the Paterson (N. J.) Print This country has always been of men who are ready to snare at the colored man, and they don't live in the South, either. But, henceforth and forever there be no doubt in the minds the courage has anything to do with it. As the reports from Carrizal in, every item of it shows that Negro troopers of Troops C and U. S. A., are just as much outlived the love and respect of patriotic erians as the heroes of Lexington, Alamo or the Little Bl gHorm. The odds were at least ten to -perhaps fifty to -one against with these gallant black boys fought. If they are not in history the best of the brave, they are as bus as the bravest. Hats off, fellers, to Troops C and K, Tenth regiment, U. S. A. WHAT OF CARRIZAL? (From Raleigh (N. C.) Times) The most astounding incident in the Mexican situation as so far developed is the apparent consent of parties to forget the battle of Carrizal. Having recovered the prisoners, the government calmly ignored the dead Carranza, who has now assumed authority for their killings makes no further mention of the fact. The National Guard, that spares arms to avenge their murder, well wonder why it is drilling and mustering in. It is as though the United States were ashamed of the man who fought and died on that castle. Not a word of official mendation have we heard of Morrell act, as thrilling a piece of leaven any army could have record of. Ornish Boyd I given a grudging funer at Arlington, but the suggestion that it was by a funeral that he caped a court martial. In the Sunny World, Secretary Lane has a long title, evidently written with the proval of the President, in which "explains" the Mexican policy. The article is chiefly remarkable in the while it goes back beyond the killings of Modero and brings us up to the notes from Carranza, not by a step word is Carrizal alluded to. Now a joint commission is about to be tabled, the World in inconsiderate remembers Carrizal in the follow- We can think of no better way to reach the truth of facts matter with to deal sternly and directly with the First Chief himself. Does he still adhere to the orders which resulted in the slaughter of the Tenth Cavalry squadron at Carrizal? If so, he is a foe and not a friend, and a joint commission will commit as to the charitable negotiation with a government which has made war upon us once and may do so again, no matter what the findings may be. At least, whatever may be the people of the United States due an explanation from the government in so many words concerning Carrizal. Does Washington consider the attack justified? Does it mean deprecate the zeal of the Carrizal who laid that ambush. Is an attack on United States troops by those another government acting under orders of its head an act of war? So, do we arbitrate acts of war, if it was not an act of war—what was it? Questions of this sort will not down. There can be no success in conspiracy of silence with regard to this fight upon which the mind of the people was fixed for expectant days that drifted into time in a strange inaction. Not politics of consideration can keep these questions, which are being asked to every citizen-soldier who finds self enlisted in the army, and to every relative and friend of his, remains at home. In a political realist it is a mistaken notion that the government may keep silence on such a matter, concerning which the people are clear in their own minds. That being true, the government was to the people an exposition of how it holds it in its mind. NEW YORK COLORED VOTERS AGAINST INCAPABLE LEADERS NEW YORK COLORED VOTERS AGAINST INCAPABLE LEADERS York, he had a meeting of colored ministers arranged, appearing before the clergymen and making a strong appeal for their support. He was introduced by Charles W. Anderson. Mr. Mitchell, in the course of his talks, announced that President Wilson had decided to retain Mr. Anderson as Collector of Internal Revenue, in order that this decision was reached with his (Mitchel's) behest. Jake Purley Mitchel was nominated and elected. He has been Mayor of Greenville New York for three years, but not a colored man has he be appointed to office H. Mr. Anderson has made serious endeavors to land a political position for some bright, competent young man, or for any other kind of a colored man, he has failed dromally. The impression seems to be general that Mayor Mitchel believes he paid his debt to the colored voters by keeping Charles W. Anderson in the Collector's office for two years under a Democratic administration. The failure of colored voters to win recognition at the hands of the Republican State organization has also put them in bad humor. Not one good-sized appointment has been hardened to a colored man in the State of New York. The white leaders are not blamed so much for this lack of recognition as the colored leaders, who are charged with not putting up the proper kind of a fight for a square deal. Among the disgruntled ones are and to be several colored lawyers, who believe a colored man should have succeeded Cornelius W. McCulland in the District Attorney's office last summer. It will be recalled that for some peculiar reason Mr. Perkins refused to name a colored assistant, and not until Mr. Swann became District Attorney was a colored man, at the request of Tammany Hall appointed. Voters Disorganized and Angry. There are always two sides to every question, and Mr. Anderson's side is yet to be told. One can deny, however, that the colored voters are both organized, are in an angry mood and have fared badly in recent years under the Republican and Fusion administrations, due to incapable leadership. A movement some time ago to secure the appointment of a Negro on the Board of Education failed, due to a lack of sincerity and an inclination to "play both ends against the middle," it is charged. Mr. Anderson is accused of indorsing more than one candidate for the position to his face, but it is said he did not come out strongly for any of them. Mr. Anderson's position is peculiar in that he enjoys the confidence and popular esteem of many white persons who labor under the opinion that he is all-powerful among the members of his race. It cannot be denied that he could be had he pursued different tactics. But he does not seem to believe in the theory that the higher you get the more support you need to hold you up. From the looks of things the Negro race and the Republican party are going to suffer until there is a productive change in New York City. Mr. Anderson is accused of wanting to be the one and only big Negro in New York for all time; and by his method of playing one against the other, a game in which he has been most successful for years, he is said to have unnecessarily created a bad feeling between men who, by humilious action, could render great service to the race and the community. On the other hand, many of those who oppose him are known to have political aspirations, and the race to power would not bring about peace or race advancement. The situation is not going to be cleared until men of character, with no axes to grind, can get together, and with "in union there is strength," as their motto, pull together to bring about harmony and an effective work organization. White politicians may just as well rid themselves at once of the notion that a more benevolent and agreeable condition is going to be created in any other manner. They cannot be censured severely allowing themselves to be free from the past as to what the majority of Negroes were thinking, because if they persist in allowing themselves, through subterfuge, he misled it will be their fate. The New York Negro is ambitious and proactive. He believes that in a position of 100.00 colored persons ought to be a dozen Negroes well known to the white and colored people of the community as representative men and women of their race. And with intellect they should possess character. Until this new order of things come to pass the colored voters are going to undergo the same disagreeable experience as in the past, and the Republican party is not going to profit by such a chaotic state of affairs. THE A. M. E. CHURCH IN NORTH CAROLINA WILMINGTON, N. C.—Gratifying to the ministry and laymen alike was the assignment of the Rt. Rev. J. Albert Johnson to the second episcopal district at the close of the last general conference of the A. M. E. Church. A wiser selection to carry out the policies of the Rt. Rev. Levi J. Coppin could scarcely have been made. Bishop Johnson came into the State early after his appointment and met the trustees of Kittrell College at Raleigh, N. C., and laid the foundation for a mammoth call to duty. The men are now on the field gunning for a $25,000 rally for Kittrell College to free it from the last vestige of encumbrance that remains. One-half of the above amount is to be donated to the school by the Messrs. Dukes of Durham, N. C., providing we raise the other half. We have the spirit and the plan and the people have the money, and we have gone after it and the world will hear from us when we return bringing in the sheaves. Kittrell College has been the center of attraction for the African Methodist people of the second episcopal district, which includes North Carolina, Virginia and Mary, for the last quarter of a century, that was established in 1881 by Rev. R. H. W. Leake and others, many of whom have since been gathered to the fathers. Washington Duke was a benefactor of Kittrell College in many ways and at divers times. His last will and testament carried a gift of five thousand dollars, which amount went in the erection of the large and commodious building that memorializes our distinguished dead and bears his name-Duke Hall. And now come his sons and offers to assist us in cancelling the debt on the school by giving $12,500 to the A. M. E. Church in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and the District will raise the other $12,500. District conferences and presiding elder districts are organizing to this end. Dr. John E. Hawkins, of Washington, D.C., the financial secretary, and Prof. A. S. Jackson, of Texas, the educational secretary, will assist in the campaign. WORK OF NEW ORLEANS' SCHOOL FOR NURSES New Orleans, La.-Dr. J. T. Newman, dean and surgeon in charge of the Providence Sanitarium and Training School for Nurses, 122 Howard street, has submitted a very interesting report of the work accomplished by that institution during the past year. He shows that 119 patients were received, 20 of whom were charity patients. In the clinics 522 patients were treated, with 125 minor surgical operations. The city council appropriated $500 for the institution and from other organizations and individuals the contributions totalled $207.90. Expenses were $21.40.0), leaving a deficit of $132.30. Dr. Newman's report is as follows: To the President, Officers and Members o the President, Officers and Members of the First District of Louisiana; PRISE DISCORD OF LOUISIANA I, as dean and surgeon-in-charge of Providence Sanitarium and Training School for Nurses, deem it an honor to present to your honorable body a report of our labors during the year 1915. It is customary to individualize the patients treated, but a more careful record has been kept, that those interested might know what part of the city or country the patient has resided in, their nationality, and also to give reliable data on matters of health and vital statistics. During the year January, 1915, to January, 1916, we have received into the hospital 119 patients, which are classified as follows, viz.: 12 curatace, 3 amputations, 2 fistula anus, 3 gunshot wounds, 1 Caesarian section, 98 laparotomy Of these, 20 were charity patients. The total number of patients treated during clinic hours were 522, of which 18 were emergencies. There were 125 minor surgical operations and 379 clinical patients. We have had 14 deaths—2 from gunshot wounds, 1 septicemia, 1 Caesarian section, 1 tetanus, 6 laparotomy and 3 uremia. Finances—We have received from hospital fees and donations from January, 1915, to January 1, 1916, $2,007.91; disbursed, $2,140.22; paid out an excess of $132.30 We extend thanks to the following named associations, corporations and individuals for their liberal contributions towards the support of the institution: The City Council of New Orleans, $500; the Longshoremen's Association, $135; the Ladies' Unity Benevolent Association, $22; the Coachmen's Benevolent Association, $10; the Baptist Sunday School Association of the First District, $2.50; the Baptist Women's Association of the First District, $2; the Screwmen's Association, $25; the Bull's Marching Club, $71; Mr. and Mrs. Murray McRohminson, $5 Medical Staff—F M.

Murray, 723 Eric street, has designed a flag which she calls a "Flying Monument" to Booker T. Washington. The field of the flag is black. Superimposed on this field is a white heart and in the center of the heart is a striking bust of the late Dr. Washington. An anchor indicates the tradition which he was bound to but broke away from to help the people; an arrow points to his book of knowledge transmitted to the people; and an eagle reminds every one that the colored people are Americans. Mrs. Murray has also a song and a poem, the three representing the labor of nine months. The design- THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1916. er's idea is that this flag shall be extensively used in commemoration of the dead leader's birthday. STANDARD LOAN MEET ATLANTA, Ga.—At the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Standard Loan & Realtv Co., President Ross's first report showed a most healthful condition for the short period of operation since articles of incorporation were secured. The meeting was held July 18 in room 602 of the Odd Fellows building. The president stated that almost two-thirds of the stock had been disposed of and indications pointed to the rapid disposition of the remainder. The board of directors, elected by the stockholders, held its meeting, elected officials and outlined the future policy of the corporation. C. Ross, president; J. A. Robinson, vice-president and auditor; W. J. Shaw, secretary; W. H. Fates, assistant secretary; K. Black, treasurer; T. W. Holmes, attorney. Members of the board are J. C. Ross, J. A. Robinson, W. J. Shaw, W. H. Estes, R. Black, T. W. Holmes, H. H. Peach Curtis, Shaw, W. H. Whitaker, R. W. Scott, F. White, H. J. Thomas, Harry Peters, A. W. Kirk, J. D. Wright. SERGEANT APPOINTED Atlantic City, N. J.—When Royal Robinson was promoted to be a sergeant of police in this city he was the first colored man in the history of Atlantic City to receive such an appointment. He has been on the force for twenty-three years. The newly elected commissioners promised to recognize merit on part of Negro officials; and this is the first evidence that they were sincere. The next thing looked for is the appointment of a Negro fire company, and the commissioners promise to make good. SHERIFFS AND LYNCHINGS. (Farm Alanta, Conti- In opposition to the Fullbright bill to eliminate lynching in Georgia by placing more direct responsibility upon the sheriff of the county in which mob violence occurs argued before the general judiciary committee of the house, it was to say that a sheriff actually tries his very best, and perhaps suffers wounds, to save the life of a prisoner and fails, must forfeit his right during the rest of his life to hold office, is preposterous. That is too great a right to deprive him of without a trial. To the foregoing statement of Representative Blackburn, Representative H. W. Hopkins, of Thomas, propounded the query: "Will the gentlemen suggest a remedy?" To which Mr. Blackburn replied: "We have all the law we need covering all phases of the thing. All the additional remedy we need is the education of the people so that the laws will be enforced." In the meantime, we pressure, Georgia is to suffer continued turbulence at home and repeated crutism and denunciation abroad, based upon her extraordinary lynching record, while we await an education which would be a wonderful thing, if we had it, but which is all too slow in the coming. In the absence of that education to which Mr. Blackburn refers it is the unquestioned and manifest duty of the Georgia legislature to take some action that will put an end to mob rule in Georgia. And by that education we mean the existence of a public sentiment so strong as to impel thorough law enforcement in every county. That we are lacking in it, at least in some instances, events have indicated. The plan of placing additional responsibility upon the sheriff and upon the governor seems one effective way to meet the issue. In the first place, it has never been suggested in the Fulbright measure or out of it, that the sheriff who actually tries to save a prisoner and fails should forfeit his office and be made invisible for re-election. The furthest measure or suggestion has gone is that the sheriff, under such conditions, will not allow that he did his duty under the law. If he makes that showing, not only does A. R.

No sheriff who enters office with the purpose and determination to do his duty can reasonably object to this requirement. No governor would dare consider dismissing from office a sheriff who had gone to the limit, and even perhaps, personal wound, in the protection of a prisoner. It is only the sheriff who fails in his duty who would and should be called to account. The fact that the senate committee has acted adversely on a similar measure does not make it the less worthy.

The theatrical season of 1915-16 brought to the Negroes of this city a most ambitious attempt on the part of the Edward Sterling Wright Players, in the presentation of Shakespeare's Othello. The work of the company has been reviewed at length in these columns. But their work in other cities was as noteworthy and created as much comment as in New York. Particularly was this true in Philadelphia. The Quaker City, while not his birthplace, appears to have been the stage of endeavor for Ira Aldridge, a great Negro tragedian who portrayed Othello in the early years of the nineteenth century. Edward Sterling Wright's appearance in Philadelphia gave inspiration to "Penn," of the staff of the *Evening Bulletin*, that city, and he indulges in a reminiscent* article anent the Aldridge achievements that makesmost interesting reading. Because of its historical value, I am quoting it in part. Says "Penn" in his column of "Men and Things": "There has come forward, at the fog end of the season, a little company of humble and unpretentious players who profess to be votaries of the Bard, although it may be necessary to say of them, as the dusky wooer from Morocco did of himself, when he approached to open the caskets in Portia's house at Midlake me not for my complexion, The shadowd livery of the burnished sun." "They are playing at the Walnut—a stage unsurpassed in America for its Shakespearean traditions: OthelNo is their "vehicle," as some of the critics would say, and in 2016, if Mr. Duffy's good man deliver shall be digging into the records to see how the theatres of Philadelphia were celebrating the tercenthary, he will at least discover how the black tragedians essayed OthelIn with Edward Sterling Wright portraying the dignity and the agonies of the jealous Moor. "But it has been said this week that colored men and women ought not appear in this play. The thought seems to be that Shakespeare can be properly interpreted by white actors only and that the plays were not written with any possibility in view that they would be enacted by the audience in another race. Shakespeare is difficult to tragieties and it appears all of the romantic dramas or comedies to be performed by black actors without exciting a sense of the lugubrious in a white audience, although such an effect might not at all take place in a black one. Yet in the instance of Othello there would seem to be room at once for an exception. In the principal or heroic role the actor stands forth as the representative of a character who is difficult to understand to those who surround him; Desdemona speaks of his visage as distinguished from his mind, and Brabanto of his "sooty bosom"; and some white actors such as John McCullough, Daniel Bandmann and Thomas W. Keene used to make up the part with a distinctly Negro-like color of the skin, while others—Edwin Booth and Rossi in particular, as remember them—used a copper-hilted sword to attack all those who associate with the ideal North American Indian. Salvini, the greatest of all actors in the role, imparted to his face a somewhat darker hue, and when he blazed with rage in the tremendous scene of the third act it was suggestive for the moment of the fury in the frenzied countenance of a magnificent African savage. But of all we have seen in the play of Othello they gave him, play the part so stupidly and rantingly that no colored players could have made us write in our seats more than they'd. The appearance of Wright at the Walnut is not the first occasion that has been marked by an American Negro's performance of the title role of *Othello*. In fact, a member of the race became famous for his performance as the Moor, and one Smith, who had been a Philadelphia barber, was his manager. This actor was Ira Aldridge, who was born in New York and was a Senegambian chief of the eighteenth century, and whose father, having come from that country, received enough instruction here to become a minister. When the son was born was never exactly known: the time appears to have been not later than 1810, and not earlier than 1805, and his birth was either in Baltimore or in the vicinity of that city. There is a story, however, that he worked as a youth by the side of the buggy Man of the Mistletoe to England as a prize fighter and representative of his race to contest with Tom Cribb, the white champion of that day. The facts about Aldridge's later life in this country and as to how he made his start on the stage are also obscure. When he grew to manhood he had the stature, presence and voice of a man of proportions and power, and he became influenced with an ambition to make a name for himself, although his father wanted him trained for the pulpit. It is more interesting in admiration for Edmund Kean then he was in the paternal counsels as to how he should shape his life, and that he went to England at the instance of Kean, who employed him as a valet, and there is no doubt that Kean gave him encouragement. The great English actor, who had been adopted while in this country as the honorary chief of a tribe of Western Indians, was noted for his vagaries of conduct both on and off the stage, but he had none of the customary prejudice whites on his mind. In the Atlantic age Negro, and at the worst other Englishmen would not have regarded his liking for Aldridge as other than an interesting eccentricity. Aldridge was probably not more than twenty-seven or less than twenty-two years of age when he made his appear- ance on the English stage, and from that time until his death, when he was not less than fifty-seven, he was known as an important and successful European actor. It is recalled that he played *Othello* at Covent Garden in London as early as 1832, and a picture which delineates him in that role at a later period indicates force, intelligence and impressiveness. Sheridan Knowles praised him: Charles Kean played *Iogo* to his Moor; K Mrs. Kendall, in her girlhood, was cast for a part in his company, and he married a white woman. It is said that when he was in London he more learned German from sailors, country who had occasion to be at the shipyard where he first earned his livelihood, and it is possible that his knowledge may have served him well when he went to Germany. However this may be his success in that country was marked. Medals and decorations were conferred upon him there, as also at various times in Austria, Sweden and Russia. Not a little of the interest which he illuminated seems due to curiosity because of his race, but much more than frank recognition of his talent. This was serviceable in the class of roles which he undertook and which his audiences, often made up almost entirely of white men and women, applauded sincerely. *Othello* seems to have been his most successful character, but in *Orinooko*, in which an African chief and hero is portrayed, and which was therefore adaptable to his physical or racial peculiarities, he apparently made as much of a hit as Forrest's in *Metamora* but there were roles in which it was necessary for Aldridge to make up as a well, according to English writings of the time, would he conceal his color and his hair under the long white Iocks and the flowing beard of the old king that no one who did not know who he was would have supposed him to be a colored man. There is a large and important town in Poland called Lodz. It was conspicuous in the news last year when the Germans made their advance into that part of Russia. It was in this town that Aldridge died and he was buried in 1868, while he was making a professional tour of Warsaw, Moscow and Berlin, in recognition that he had received in the course of their five years had come from European countries; he was virtually a self-imposed exile from the country of his birth, and it would seem that he had no desire to come back to it, although it was supposed, after the Civil War, that he might be prevailed upon to do so. He had believed that whatever the merit or ability he might show on the stage in the United States, he would be able to do that, and that the excitement and bitterness over the slavery question: that Southerners would take the ground that it would be folly to let a member of the black race feel that he had taken that might be compared to that of some white actors, and that he might be the cause of such disturbances as culminated in the anti-English and pro-Forest riots against Macready. But to-day, so far as Edward Stirling Wright and his comrades at the time, he might have something like a disposition to be fair to them, and I am told that on the opening night there were as many whites as blacks in the audience. Possibly there may be yet prove to be a national "black Raven" like Ira Aldridge. PENN.

Sporting Notes (BY ALEX. WALTERS.) PUGILISM. At the Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue on last Friday, before a large crowd, Nerich Zink the tightening Caban, had little trouble in gaining the decision over the hard-hitting Newark middleweight, Dave Kurtz. The bout was one of the fastest contested at this club since the ban has been lifted, and both men kept the crowd on their feet applauding their fast pace. He was the first to clean work. He continued to counter on Kurtz's face and body with hard, snappy punches and had no trouble in evading most of Kurtz's bows. Had the bout gone any further than ten rounds the Cuban fighter would surely have scored a knockout. If Lew Raymond continues to put pout bouts of this kind he will have little trouble in drawing the crowds. Weights—Chink, 150; Kurtz, 153. The ten-round bout between Mark Spencer, of New York, and Young Ketchell, of Bridgeport, Conn., who was substituted for Dutch Brandt, of Brooklyn, was full of action, both boys being very aggressive. The first six rounds went to Spencer. In the last four Ketchell tried hard to even up matters, but Spencer had gained enough lead to offset the sensational spurt that Ketchell put on and won by a slight margin. Weights, Spencer, 124. Ketchell, 136¹. The preliminaries were short on account of several knockouts. In the first four-round bout, Bearcat Williams, colored, knocked out Young Toney in the first round. In second four-round bout, Young Lord, colored, put out and Withle Williams, white. The semi-final which was to have been six rounds, ended in the first round when Kid Morris, colored, ran into Young McGill's right, and was counted out. --- At the Harlem Sporting Club, 153th street and Madison avenue next Friday night, Lew Raymond, the matchmaker, has arranged an all-star card and one of the best since the bah has been lifted. In the two ten-round bouts two forwards, the two best will battle two of the best white light-wreights the club could secure. In the star bout of the evening. Leo Johnson, colored lightweight champion of the world, will meet that sturdy, hard hitting lightweight, Shamue O'Brien, from up the state, and a boy who has fought them all, including Leonard and Funder, will meet him now. How Johnson will make out with O'Brien or Dandee from this bout, because O'Brien has given them both all they could do to gain a decision over him in ten rounds. In the other ten round bout, Eddie Dorsey, the great little fighter from Philadelphia, will meet Johnny Lore, from the West Side, a boy who knows but one thing when in the game, that he will find a boy who has the same ideas and the fight fans can be assured that this bout will be full of action. There will be three four-round bouts and one six-round bout on the same night. At the Clermont A. C, Clermont avenue, Brooklyn, on Thursday, July 20. Eddie Dorsey, the crack lightweight of Philadelphia, met Mel. Coogan, the pride of Brooklyn, in the star bout and after flooring the Brooklyn boy twice in ten rounds, to show the crowd, the largest the eye has of a bout of this club. Dorsey fought a cautious battle just to gain the decision at the end of ten rounds. Weights, Dorsey, 134. Coogan, 135. FREEDWY, L. I—At the Freeport A. C, last Friday night two boys who have fought each other almost as often as the sixth time. Kid Bacon and Kid Happy fought the star bout, and it was the longest bout that they have engaged in, it being ten rounds. But the way these two boys fought they seem to be able to fight not only ten rounds but twenty rounds. At the end of the tenth proper decision, both boys being on other feet and fighting hard. Weights, Bacon, 120. Happy, 122 Since the han has been lifted, I see most all, the colored fighters have secured white managers and some of them did not have to go and look for a manager, but our white friends took the fighters whether or not, and showed him where he could not get any fights unless he was his manager. Now, colored fighters, before the han was lifted white managers of colored fighters were almost as scarcity as a mixed bout was in New York. But the white man has seen a chance to make a dollar by picking the best boys and managing them. Now, colored fighters, you are, and go and find the best attraction and there is money to be given to the game providing you bows not jump at the first proposition that the matchmaker offers you. And, as a race, be like the white fighter. Let your own race look out for your interest and I know there are enough colored men around New York who are intelligent enough to look out for any colored boy fighting these days. Just to think, there are only three real colored managers of colored fighters in and around New York. They are James Ferribe, who manages Lou Williams; Jack White, George Baden; W. T. Banks, of New artie, who has Young Hicks and Buddy Paulks, and McGraw, who has Kid Cotton and Joe DeKnight. So, colored fighters, give your own race a chance to look after your interests in the future. At the Clermont A. C., Clermont avenue, Brooklyn, on last night night Manager James Ferribe, the only colored manager of fighters in New York City, had a chance to show his Chamberswood wristband. Savainah, Ga., to the Brooklyn fighters, Williams met K.O. Mike Russell, of Philadelphia, a white boy, who has fought draws with Mike Glover, Jimmy Britton, Ted Lewis and a decision over Tommy Coleman In Latthell Russell, Williams fought a middleweight and had to concede 11 pounds, but Williams did not mind the weight of Russel, as he sailed into him just as if he was a legitimate wetterweight, and much to the surprise of all present, except his manager. James Russell, out to his record at the expense of Russell, a right hand swing to the stomach in the first round doing the trick. Weights, Russell, 155; Williams, 144 Manager Ferrite is open to match his boy, K. O. Williams, with any weltweight, white or colored, for any distance. But he prefers his boy to meet any colored weltweight claimant of the title so that he will show the public that he really is the best colored boy in the world at the weltweight limit. In meeting Williams the boys will find him to be the best colored fighter before the public at the present time because he is a clever two-handed fighter with a knockout in both hands. Williams has started twice since he arrived in New York and both houts ended by knockout. He then engaged in weltweight with the Freemason A. C. Freeman L, where he met Kid Loche, 24 hours after arriving in town. Loche is the colored boy who recently heat Batting Gans and Joe Gans. But Williams knocked him out in the second round. The second bout was with Russell Monday night.

Like true sportsmen, the players of the B. Taylor Tennis Club of Brooklyn came to New York City last Saturday to what alleged match games with the Colonial Club team on the courts of the home club, in spite of the adverse weather condition. The courts were flooded after a heavy downpour of rain, and the condition of the ground would have been sufficient to discourage many, but the enthusiasm displayed by the visitors to have the games staged, if it were at all possible, urged the Colonials to perform the remarkable feat of getting the courts in playing condition in short order, and although delapsed, by 4.30 o'clock the match began. The games were keenly contested, but the Colonials could not be denied a victory, and when play ceased the Brooklynnes were still making a game staged, three were completed while darkness prevented the completion of the other three. The final score was 3 to 0 in favor of the Colonials. As was expected a large number of Brooklynites accompanied the team and swelled the gallery which was brimful of enthusiasm from start to finish, applauding every point scored from brilliant plays. The first game was staged on Court B. A. J. Loring, the genial president of the Brooklyn club opposed C. A. Provost, secretary of the home club. As soon as Court A was ready, Sidney D. Williams was pitted against E. A. Romero, the president of the Colonials. The Brooklyn president, Mr. Loring, went down to defeat, fighting gamely to the last. On Court A the Colonial president was having troubles of his own. Mr. Williams, by far the best player on the Brooklyn team, made the pace hot, and only after 18 games were played was he satisfied to acknowledge the score of 10 to 8. The second set looked much like a repetition of the first, but after 12 games were played, Mr. Williams emerged the victor at 7 to 5. Darkness prevented the completion of this contest, which had become the centre of attraction, keeping the gallery in suspense up to the last minute of play. The ladies did not get an opportunity to decide any of their scheduled games. Miss M. E. Gardeen, the popular player of the Colonials, was seen in action against Mrs. Jones of the Brooklynites, and while play lasted it interesting, for the visitor. With a score of 6 to 1 for the first set in favor of Miss Gardeen, it was decided to stop play on account of darkness. The scores by games were: C. A. Provost (Colonials) beat A. J. Loring (J. B. T.) 6-3, 6-1; D. Edwards (Colonials) beat W. Smith (J. B. T.) 7-5, 6-1; Bristol and Desporte (Colonials) beat Withington and Holmes 6-1, 6-0.

RETIRES FROM MISSION The Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, Sr. who three years ago founded the Mission of Simon of Cyrene on the lower west side, has given up that work and will be succeeded by his son, the Reverdy C. Ransom, Jr., who will give his tinte and efforts to developing the work along the lines laid down by his father. Dr. Ransom will not devote all his time to the editorship of the A. M. E. Review, which work he was engaged in when he took up the mission and which he has performed in conjunction with the pastoral work. In giving up this work, he has addressed a message to the public through The Age, in which he gives a brief resume of the work accomplished and what is hoped for in the future. Three years ago I made known to the public through the newspapers and otherwise, that I felt the call of God to go down on the lower west side in New York City and open a Mission among the hundreds of our people there. This I did, regardless of the fact that I was holding a general office in my church as editor of the A. M. E. Review. For three years my wife and I have found great joy in living and working among the people there, without asking in any amount a salary or other financial reward. One of our main purposes has been accomplished. The Mission of Simon of Cyrene has been established. The other is yet to be realized, in securing a permanent church home. The Mission has one hundred and twenty-eight members. There are sixty-seven children in the Sunday School, a good Christian Endeavor Society and four aurillaries. The Mission has grown to such proportions that I could no longer give it the pastoral care demanded and properly care for the responsibilities of the position to which I have been elected. At the last session of the New York conference I requested Bishop Evans Tyre to send a regular pastor. Under the protection of Almighty God, he appointed my son, Reverdy C. Ransom for the past two years, as The Rev. George H. Sims, pastor of the Union Baptist Church, 204 West 63rd street, has, in his new residence at 131 West 121st street, spacious parlors for marriage ceremonies. pastor of the Mission. I believe he will visit the sick, be kind to the poor and unfortunate and seek them that are out of the way. I commend him to all who are interested in the work of the Mission of Simon of Cyrene. All communications intended for me, should be sent to my home address, which is Oceanport, N. J. Fairfully, REVERDY C. RANSOM. INSTITUTIONAL WORK PROJECTED IN HAITI The Rev. S. E. Churchstone Lord, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Port au Prince, Hati, returns to his home this week after a visit to this country since April, when he came to attend the general conference at Philadelphia. He has spoken in various churches in Jersey City, Newark, Brooklyn and New York, in the special interest of a new edifice which his congregation in Port au Prince is erecting. The intention is to have the new building large enough to embrace an institutional organization in addition to the regular church work, and the Rev. Mr. Lord, who is one of the few native Haitians educated at Tuskegee Institute, has been meeting with success in his efforts. He has been given $500 by the Mite Missionary Society and the missionary department, the Rev. J. W. Rankin, secretary, will supplement this with $2,500. a total of $3,000 from the A. M. E. Church in this country. The building as planned will cost about $5,000, but the additional activities projected by the pastor will entail a cost of about $50,000. It is very probable that the Haitian government will assist the work, perhaps to the extent of $5,000. Mr. Lord is optimistic as to the future of Haiti, provided there is the degree of sympathetic supervision by American powers outlined by the late Dr. Washington. Intervention with the sword and rifle will be useless as that is what the native is used to, but if civil and agricultural pursuits are encouraged and especially if the American Negro becomes acquainted with the possibilities of the country and takes advantage of the knowledge, there is boundless encouragement for the future.
