XXIX No. 46 SEGREGATION IS AGAIN RAMPANT State, War and NavyDepartments Scene of Latest Hell-Born Act. WILSON'S AIDE RESPONSIBLE Col. Harts, U. S. Army, Military Aide to President Wilson. Is Superintendent of Building and Issued Order. AFFECTS 400 COLORED MEN Order Issued, Taking Effect August 9, Forces Every Colored Employee of State, War and Navy Departments to Walk Long Distances to Reach Toilet Rooms Now Set Aside for Their Use. (Special to The New York Agr.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—An order has just been issued, by the chief clerk of each of the State, War and Navy departments to the effect that colored men employed in these departments, beginning August 9, shall use during office hours only such toilers as are set aside for them. The order very clearly specifies certain lavatories for the use of white women, white men and colored men. The toilets assigned colored men happen to be similar to the others, but are located in the short corridors of each floor, while toilers for the use of white employees are situated at either end of each corridor. The three departments being under one roof have one superintendent of building, Col. Harts, U. S. Army. He is the official who initiated his business and whose signature appears on the order. Col. Harts Responsible. During his incumbency as superintendent of building (also military aide to President Wilson) he has enacted "Jim Crowism" whenever an opportunity arose. His first act of oppression happened early in the year, when messengers were restricted to the use of certain elevators, and later the Colonel decreed that except during certain hours messengers cannot ride at all. This rule, while very unjust, still remains. Owing to the fact that there are quite a number of white messengers who were thereby affected, no protest was made and neither was any discrimination acknowledged when a subsequent order forbidding messengers to eat lunches in the corridors was issued. It is plainly visible now that these previous reforms' were directed at the Negro, as the order issued to-day is the most drastic that has ever been introduced here, not barring Mr. McAdoo's bold attempt to segregate in the Treasury Department. Has Influence with the President. In the State, War and Navy departments there are scores of white messengers and white laborers who, by this order, are permitted to use the most convenient laxatory, while a Negro, recognized by the Civil Service, is compiled to walk a block past a place of supposedly "public convenience." Col. Harris also has the title of Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds, and has considerable influence with the heads of departments because of his proximity to the President, and seems to be able to put anything over on the "black man." This last order of his affects about four hundred colored employees, among which are about thirty clerks. The disgraceful thing about it is that, white laborers and white messengers are (by virtue of this order) given to understand that they are above the application of same simply because of the complexion of their skin. Humiliating Conditions. The present condition, though youthful in age, is already very humiliating to men who would believe that they are citizens of the United States. During the preparedness parade held here in June some person circulated printed cards all over town, signed "Justice," with these words: "The American Negro—watch him. First in war, first in peace, and last in the preparedness parade." Compare this verse with conditions which have existed, in the past two months, namely: "Bringing up the rear of the preparedness parade by Negroes." Staff being sacrifice made at Carrall. Assistance of innocent Negroes in the South. Recent introduction of Jim Crowism in State War and Navy departments; and it will be agreed that the writer of the card referred to gave a most felicitous and concise expression of facts. The New York Age BUILDING LEASED FOR REGIMENTAL ARMORY Col. William Hayward, commanding officer of the 15th infantry, N. G., N. Y., has secured through the Sinking Fund Commission of the City of New York, a lease by the city for the use by his regiment of the third story and basement of the building known as Lafayette Hall at the corner of 132nd street and Seventh avenue. This will be the temporary armory of the regiment. Col. Hayward has also secured from the city a lease of premises at 2217 Seventh avenue, which will, for the present, be the regiment's al headquarters and recruiting station, and also the premises at 114 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, which, for the present, will be the headquarters and recruiting station of the Brooklyn battalion of the regiment. On the recommendation of Colonel Hayward, Sergeant Cole, United States army, retired, has been appointed to the position of armorer at an annual salary of $1,460, and Private Howard D. Adams of B Company 11, infantry, has been appointed a his assistant at a salary of $1,200 per annum. Col. Hayward has applied for the erection of a permanent armory for the regiment in Harlem, to cost from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, exclusive or cost of real estate, and his application is pending, but no action can be taken on same, and no further steps can be taken toward this or toward securing additional employees of the city until the regiment is recruited to at least a strength of 1,000 men. A little more than half of that number has already been enlisted. WOMAN HELD IN VIRTUAL SLAVERY IN WESTFIELD (Special to The New York Act.) WESTFIELD, N. J., Jamaicans of Westfield are up in arms because of the treatment accorded a colored woman, a native of Brazil, S. A., and her two children by the man who employed her in domestic service, and by the chief of police of this town, to whom she applied for protection. She had been in the employ of a Westfield man for a year and eight months, and during that time had received only $4 for her services. When she attempted to leave his service, the man seized his scanty store of clothes and she appealed to the chief of police for aid in securing them. The chief threw her and the two children in jail on Monday night, August 7. Mrs. Agnes Stewart, wife of John Stewart, made an attempt to intercede in behalf of the woman, and it was reported that Officer Stenagle had struck Mrs. Stewart. When this report circulated indignation among the colored people knew no bounds and they arose en masse and started for police headquarters to protest against such highhanded proceedings. Chief of Police Rosserman called his bishop and hastily raised the woman and children. They were taken to the home of Mrs. J. U. Peeples, 514 Downer street, who opened her home to them. Here an indignation meeting was held and machinery set in motion to sift this outrageous happening to the bottom. According to the story told by the poor Brazilian woman to Nicholas Cavaza, president of the Strangers' Club, she had been held in practical slavery, and fed only on bread and coffee, in addition to the meagre sum which amounted to about 20 cents per month. The whole story will be given to the world in the next issue of THE AGE. JACKSON SETTLED WITH BIRCHMAN, M.A.—By turning over to the A. M. Zon Connection property with a cash value of more than $5,000, the Rev. J. S Jackson, former financial secretary, who was deposed from office because of alleged financial shortage, has settled the claims of the church. A commission consisting of Bishop J. W. Alstork, the Rev. E. P. Mayo, Bishop G. C. Clement (holding proxies for the Revs J. W. Brown and F. M. Jacobs of New York and Brooklyn), and the Rev. W. L. Hamblin, met in this city July 12 and 13 and went over the books formerly used by Dr. Jackson, which were in the custody of his lawyer, Judge McCrossin. It developed that certain defects existed in the bond which had been given by the former secretary, so a compromise was effected by which Dr. and Mrs. Jackson conveyed by deed to the connection one house and lot in Philadelphia, two lots in Birmingham, one lot near Atlantic City, one lot at Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C., and a farm mortgage for $1,000. The commission, with full power to act, accepted the property in full settlement of all claims against Dr. Jackson, and will so report to the Bishops' Council at Atlantic City. MEETING OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WOMEN (Special to The New Year Ann.) BALTIMORE, Md.-The tenti-biennial session of the National Association of Colored Women met this week at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Drudu Hill avenue and Lanvale street. More than 300 women, engaged in various kinds of uplift work, and representing many States, gathered here for exchanging of views and planning for civic and moral uplift along broader lines. A big platform meeting at Bethel Chutch Sunday afternoon preceded the formal opening, which took place Monday morning. Mrs. Booker T. Washington, president, presided. At the formal opening Monday morning addresses of welcome were delivered by Mrs. Mary F. Handy, president of the Maryland Federation; Mrs. Jennie Ross, the Rev. R. W. S. Thomas and City Councilman Harry S. Cummings. Mrs. Washington responded in a pleasant vein. Others who delivered addresses at the opening session included: Mrs. M. C. Lawton, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Mrs. Mary Talbert, Buffalo, N. Y.; Miss two VOTERS HOSTILE TO "JIM CROW" ANNEX Henry Lincoln Johnson Among These Prominently Mentioned for Head of Proposed Negro Bureau—Charges of Treachery Being Made. The light for the chairmanship of the proposed "Jim Crow" Bureau, which a few politicians are said to want opened for personal and selfish reasons, has resolved itself into the usual mess—a disgusting scramble for pie. Charges and counter-charges are being hurled back and forth, and from all appearances some are more concerned about their own welfare than the success of the Republican nominee for President. In: the meantime colored voters throughout the country are openly declaring their hostility toward the idea of establishing "Jim Crow" headquarters in New York or elsewhere. They believe colored speakers ought to be appointed and everything done to arouse energy from his diplomatic state of indifference. No objection has been raised to the appointment of colored men on the Advisory Committee soon to be named to co-operate with the Campaign Committee; but the majority of Negroes see no real need for a Negro Bureau. To Manage "Jim Crow" Bureau. The name of Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta, Ga., has been prominently mentioned as one of the candidates seriously considered to manage the "Jim Crow" Bureau. It is said he has succeeded in hypnotizing some of the white leaders to believe he can get the colored vote of the North in line better than anyone else. He is also said to be preparing a text-book for Negro consumption on these hot days, about as useless a piece of campaign material as could be found. The following anonymous communication, dated August 3, has been received by THE ACK, which speaks for itself: To the Editor of The Age: Why are you fighting a man who does not want that job, and helping Stewart and "Link" Johnson, for "link" already has been practically decided on. Willecox goes to Washington today were a bunch of Republican Congressmen will endorse Johnson for head of the bureau, as Johnson is now working with the Congressional Committee at Washington. The "Old Guard" Senators are all a to a man for Johnson. Stewart has lined up Barnes, Bliss and the Root Influences for him. They have shown The Age to all of the leaders to prove that Anderson is out of it and Johnson, through his experience, ought to be named. They claim to have sent Loyd and Ben Davis to keep you fighting in one direction while they landed the goods in another. They have the endorsement of nearly all the southern delegates and call the southern members of the National Committee, as well as the "Od Guard" members. Johnson is now preparing a campaign text-book with the assistance of Joe Johnson of Washington, who used to be a stenographer in the House. Please investigate these statements and see if they are not as true as wholly written. The story going the rounds in political circles is that, some weeks ago several would-be leaders formed a combination to secure control of the Negro Bureau. But, the harmony plans seem to have miscarried, for now everybody is working for himself. The situation has become intensified by the injection of sectional feeling, some of the Northern politicians opposing the appointment of a Negro from the South to a position which practically would make him a leader of the colored voters of Northwest半帆半帆, with half the votes of the white. One significant feature of the scramble for head of the "Jim Crow" Bureau is that all candidates attended the Chicago Convention, and in their zeal to represent the Negroes of this country failed to get inserted in the platform any expression favorable to the race. TUSKEGEE'S AGENT SAVES DROWNING MAN (BURLINGTON, Vt.-M. T. Brown, boat-keeper at the Rogers, Rock Hotel, was saved from drowning in Lake George on Friday night, August 28. A young lady had been carried earlier in the evening and Brown was out in a boat booking for the body. Mr. Chisolm was en route to Rogers Rock Hotel, coming in a launch from Hague, N.Y. The launch crashed into the rowboat and Mr. Brown was precipitated into the water. Fortunately he was thrown on the side of the launch where Mr. Chisolm was sitting, and as the launch passed Brown grabbed the launch's side. Chisolm caught Brown's other arm and pulled him into the launch. It is not stated whether Mr. Brown could swim or not, but he was so badly injured in the collision that drowning would probably have ensued if Mr. Chisolm had not acted so promptly. Two physicians were called to attend Mr. Brown when he was gotten to the hotel. THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1916. MANHATTAN LODGE AND ITS UNIFORM ORDER Charles H. Joell, secretary of Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, U.B. P. O. E., states to The Age that that lodge did not give an order for uniforms to be worn by delegates to the grand lodge at Philadelphia to a first of white men conducting a haberdashery, but that the order was given to Walter Hamlin, a member of Manhattan Lodge, who is employed as a merchant by the white firm referred to, Mr. Joell states that Mr. Hamlin, several weeks ago, offered the suggested uniform to the members of the lodge and stated that a purchase of the same from the firm employing him would be a personal help to him. The uniforms, to co-inc in the neighborhood of $6.40 each, were accepted by the lodge and members were advised of the action. "To date, it is stated, orders have been placed for about 65 or 70 uniforms, and it is thought the total will reach 100. Mr. Joell emphasized as a fact that the members were not compelled to make their purchases from the white firm, but were free to act as individuals. A number of the members would purchase elsewhere, being desirous of buying uniforms of a latter grade. The Age has made a investigation of the matter, which was brought to the attention of the public in last week's issue of this paper, and it finds that Manhattan Lodge justifies its action by the fact that a member of the lodge is employed by the firm, and the decision to give the order was reached without any investigation as to the possibility of any other firm, colored or white, being able to handle the business. As a mater of fact, The Age is informed that a similar uniform to the one offered, in appearance if not exactly in quality, can be purchased from another firm for about $3.50 as against the price quoted by Mr. Hamlin. At the same time, the quality of the goods used in the uniforms does not suit many of the members of Manhattan Lodge, and if it is their intention to buy higher grade suits from some of the large clothing establishments down town. Some of the officers of the lodge will be among this number. It was suggested by the Age to some officers that they should be since they were not satisfied with the goods offered by the white merchant, it would be a good idea for them to at least consult the Negro merchant in the same line of business, as he would then have a chance to show what he could do in the way of handling the orders. He developed, in the course of investigation, that another large lodge of the same order, like Innocent Lodge, had placed orders for their, uniforms with a white tailor, the uniforms of white flannel to cost about $15 apiece. As to whether or not a groc business man was given a chaperone, he did not learn but other Elks seemed to impress, deriding why The Age emphasized the action of Manhattan Lodge and said nothing of Monarch Lodge, that it was quite probable Monarch Lodge did not seek competitive bids from Negro tailors. The answer can only be gotten from Monarch Lodge. INTEREST INCREASING IN MEETING OF NURSES As August 15 approaches, interest in the ninth annual convention of The National Association of Colored Nurses which is to convene in New York City on that date is noticeably increasing. The meetings are to be held in the auditorium of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church; 151 West 10th street, and will be presided over by the president, Mrs. Adah B. Thoms of Lincoln Hospital and Training School for Nurses, New York. Many features of vital interest will be incorporated into the program, covering three days' sessions, including a public demonstration of the work of nurses at Lincoln Hospital.

COMPANY PAID 96 PER CENT The Metropolitan Realty and Investment Co., Ocala, Fla. Established in 1898, Owns Large Property Holdings and Is Conducting Five Large and Prosperous Enterprises. The possibilities, of the development of a business enterprise, when properly conducted, financed and managed by Negro business men, is shown by the extraordinary showing made by the Metropolitan Realty and Investment Co. of Ocala, Fla., which is operating the Ocala Knitting Mill as one of the several phases of its business activities. George H. Mays, Jr., the field secretary, is in New York in the interest of his company, and in an interview with an AGE representative, he present some most interesting facts as to the growth of the knitting mill, which is the latest outgrowth of the company's energy. Other enterprises conducted by the Metropolitan Savings Bank and the St. George's Hotel, and a large realty business. The knitting mill was organized after George Giles, the president, had tried out one of the knitting machines in a back room of his mercantile building. A few girls were employed and the mill put into operation. In the last year a three-story brick building has been erected at a cost of about $28,000, and it has been paid for, except an amount less than $2,000, from the profits of the company since the mills began operations. Employ 108 Girls. At this time, with the completion and occupation of the new building, there are 108 girls employed in the knitting mill. The company is manufacturing only women's knitted underwear, and the goods are knitted from native grown cotton. The girls are all taken from homes in Ocata and other towns, most of them being members of the families of stockholders who are given employment in the enterprise. The girls were untrained when first employed, but in the beginning the company sent north and secured a textile expert who was under contract to train certain girls to the point that they could in turn become instructors. The expert's contract was closed when he had done this. A young colored woman is now the head worker in the mills, and the young women who come into the mill untrained are all instructed by her. It is the purpose of the officers of the company to increase the operating force until at least 150 girls are employed. As an evidence of the quantity of goods produced by the company, Mr. Mays cited figures to show one week's output. There were turned out from the looms of the mill 25 cases of underwear. Each case contained 40 dozen pieces, a total of 1,120 dozen, or 13,440 garments. The company has established connections with a New York firm, Clift & Goodrich, 80-82 Leonard street, which handles the entire output of the mill. So great is the demand that the firm will only take orders during a part of the season, to avoid overselling. Paid More Than 90 Per Cent. Foreign representatives are located in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, Holland, Antwerp, Belgium and Copenhagen. The National Park Bank of New York City is the New York fiscal representative of the company. The Metropolitan Realty and Investment Co. was organized in 1908, and has paid dividends regularly since 1910, some years paying semi-annual profits. Total dividends for the years since 1910 are as follows: 1910, 10 per cent.; 1911, 12 per cent.; 1912, 20 per cent.; 1913, 12 per cent.; 1914, 12 per cent.; 1915, 18 per cent. The indemnities for 1910 are that the dividend will not fall lower than 18 per cent. Incorporated with a capital of $25,000 in 1908, the capital stock was increased two years ago to $25,000. The first issue of $25,000 of the additional stock was taken by the stockholders. The second issue is now being offered to the general public. The affairs of the company are looked after by the following corps of officers: George Giles, president and manager; J. L. Wiley, vice-president; Dr. W. P. Wilson, assistant manager; F. P. Gadson, treasurer; J. S. LaRoche, secretary, George H. Mays, Jr., field secretary, is the guest of J. J. Baker, 146 West 132nd street, and will be in New York for another week. TEACHERS IN COLORED SCHOOLS HOLD MEETING (Special to The New York Am.) Nashville, Tenn. — Teachers and workers for education from sixteen states attended the thirteenth annual convention of Teachers in Colored Schools, which held its sessions in this city July 26 to 31, with John Hope, president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., presiding. The opening session was held in the St. John A. M. F. Church, but other sessions were held in Fisk Memorial Chapel. A large number of the visitors were cared for at Fisk University. Mayor Robert Ewing and Leland Hunne, president of the Board of Education, extended personal welcomes to the educators in their opening session, speaking particularly of (continued on page two) OPENING OF NORTHERN TOBACCO FIELDS TO NEGRO PROVES A BOON TO RACE College Students are Earning $72,000 in Four Months, While Colored Labor will be Able to Earn More than $300,000 Next Season. A Representative of The Age Visits this New Avenue of Endeavor to Negroes and Tells of Conditions as They Truly Exist-- Positions Open to Colored Help all the Year Round. Hartford, Conn.—It was the dawn of spring. All nature seemed to smile. But not the semblance of a smile decorated the countenances of the Hartford tobacco growers, usually a most jovial and affable lot, who were plunged in deep gloom. They had assembled to discuss the unprecedented labor shortage which threatened to paralyze the tobacco-growing industry of the Connecticut River and Farmington River valleys, and just at a time when a most profitable season was in prospect. All agreed that planters of shade-grown tobacco would sustain a loss running into the millions unless something was done at once to replace foreign labor which had left the tobacco fields in large numbers, having been lured to the munition plantts throughout New England by the promise of larger wages. In the midst of the gleofle proceedings M. L. Floyd, born and raised in the Southland, but who has lived in the North for many years, abruptly arose and loudly exclaimed: "Gentlemen of the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco Association, I think I have the key to the situation—THE EMPLOYMENT OF NE-GRO LABOR!" First Skeptical About Negro Labor This suggestion did not meet with a ready and enthusiastic response, as Negro help had never been used on the tobacco plantations of New England. Many of the planters were skeptical as to the outcome of such an experiment. But so persistent was the originator of the plan in his pro-Negro arguments that one by one his associates became converted to his way of thinking. Thus was born, right in the heart of Yankeeland, the first significant move to supplant foreign labor with Indian labor, a stop which had resulted in one of the biggest industrial upheavals in the North incident to the European war, which already has been a great boon to the colored American, improving his economic status and putting thousands of dollars into his pocket. When boiled down to a matter of dollars and cents, the substitution of Negro labor for foreign labor by the members of the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco Association means that the race will be made up of Negro workers, year, and that more than $300,000 will be made by Negro labor in the Hartford tobacco fields next season. College Students Pick Tobacco Heretofore the railroads, steamers and hotels have furnished the ambitious colored college student opportunities to make his tuition and expense money during the vacation months, and now another avenue of endeavor has been opened to him—the northern tobacco fields. Hundreds of students are taking advantage of this new industrial opening, $2,000 going to Negro education this summer. It is now harvest time on the tobacco fields, and the planters are using all available help. College boys are coming from the South in large numbers, and by August 15, of the twelve hundred colored employees working on the various plantations, two-thirds will be students. Howard University, Hampton, Morehouse, Georgia State, Virginia Normal and Industrial, Shaw, Paine and Virginia Union are among the institutions of learning represented. Howard has eighty odd students at work, while Morehouse comes next, with fifty. But the young men from Morehouse will earn more than the other students, having been fortunate enough to get on the job at the beginning of the season—June 1. They will take back to Atlanta most of the $10,000 made picking tobacco. There are a number of teachers among the invaders from southern colleges—sturdy, ambitious members of the race, who have been made foremen or given other positions which enable them to earn more than the regular wage of $2 a day, amounting to $50 a month before the possibilities for making money, the ability to manage anxious that reports sent out be accurate and void of exaggeration.

Picking tobacco is the chief duty of these sons of toil, for which $2 a day is paid. The foremen and drivers get more. Another way of making a living is by stringing tobacco, and while the majority of "stringers" earn on an average of $12 a week, being paid by piece-work, there are some, especially humble-lingered women, who earn $3 a day. But earning $3 a day is an exception and only made by those unusually adept with the needle. Female colored help is now wanted for stringing tobacco. The food question at first was somewhat, of a problem to solve, the students in particular not being satisfied with the arrangement made of boarding out and paying about $4 weekly for meals. In most instances the young men have hit upon the happy idea of clubbing in, buying their own provisions and paying one of their number with culinary preconditions to act as chef. The club plan is working satisfactorily, the students finding it less expensive, and it permits them to have a selection of food more to their own liking. Good Work of Urban League. M. L. Floyd is primarily responsible for the presence of colored help on the tobacco fields of Hartford, but the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, 2303 Seventh Avenue, New York City, enjoys sole credit for supplying the planters with Negro labor. After Mr. Floyd had won over his fellow-planters to his plan, the members of the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco Association once more found themselves in a quandary. They did not know how to go about securing native labor. As knowledge of the activities of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has extended far from the precincts of its home town the suggestion was made that the league be asked to help them out of their dilemma. The situation was carefully gone over with the heads-of the league and John T. Clark, industrial secretary, was designated to furnish colored help. Since spring Mr. Clark has devoted much of his time supervising the work of sending Negro labor to the tobacco plantations in the vicinity of Hartford, aided by a corps of assistants, one who stationed in Norfolk, Ta, and meets all deserved for Hartford. The representatives of the Urban League have supplied all help with transportation from Norfolk to Hartford and return. The Urban League has made a most favorable impression on the Hartford planters. It has not asked one cent for its services, the only expense the tobacco men have met being that incurred by the employment of extra agents who are devoting their entire time to sending colored labor to Hartford. An Educational Inspection Tour. Heredefore I have associated Hartford only with insurance. But lately I have found that my impressions of this old New England city and its environs are about as accurate as the opinion of the average white American of the colored American. The tobacco growing industry plantations—all carried me to the Southland the same as when I think of cotton, disfranchisement, "Jim Crow" cars and lynchings. Not until recently did I know that in --- New, England more tobacco was grown and on a scientific scale than anywhere in the United States. This information was imparted to me a few days ago when, as a guest of prominent planters, I was taken to the Tobacco fields near Hartford. In the party were Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University; Eugene Knickle Jones, director of the Urban League; H. M. Newswise, a representative of the Hartford Daily Courant, and the writer, Fred B. Griffin, president of the Griffin Neuberger, Tobacco Company; M. L. Floyd, general manager and principal owner of the Connecticut Tobacco Corporation, and senior J. W. Alspoort, active by marriage to Theodore Goosevelt, and head of the J. W. Alspoort Farm, acted as host. During the afternoon the party rode fifty miles in automobiles and visited the Hazlewood and Floydville farms of the Connecticut tobacco Corporation, and the Griffin Neuberger farms. Messrs. Floyd, Griffin and Alsop do not belong to that category of planters with the wide felt hat and long coat. They are planters in the new school dress and manners. As for Mr. Floyd, I am compelled to speak of him in superlatives, for usually the Southern white man is either very good or very bad from a colored man's viewpoint. Mr. Floyd is of the very good sort, who knows there are thirsty Negroes and indolent Negroes, just as there are thirsty white people and indolent white people. He is therefore capable of differentiating between the two classes. Shade-grown tobacco is raised under cloth Which is but on top of posts ten feet high. This not only provides a shelter for the tobacco, but for the laborer. Our first visit was to the Hazlewood Farm at Tariffville, where acre after acre of tobacco could be seen under a seal of cloth. As far as the eye could reach there was tobacco to the right of us, tobacco to the left of us, tobacco in front of us, and all under canvases the equivalent of a storefront in Mortonhill employed, and they appeared happy and contented. They have made the most enviable record of all, and are the pride of their employer. It was at the Hazlewood Farm that the sight-seeking party was entertained at lunch, which consisted of beef gravy, potatoes, stewed tomatoes, beans, bread, butter and home-made peach pie. The visitors wanted to know what the help ate and were agreeably surprised to learn that the young men were given the same well-cooked and wholesome food. A visit was made to the sleeping quarters used by the students where pots with bed-linen and blankets, were liberally provided in a spacious and airy room on the second floor. A trip was next made to the Floville Farm at Grauth, the largest tobacco plantation of its kind in the world. Here the help made up of students and others, are provided with shower bath and other conveniences. This farm is the oldest in the district. At the Griffin-Neuberger Farm are Griffin, the Howard University students are stationed. When the news was spread about that Proof Kelly Miller was, about the young men stopped to ask to greet their dear not aaw from temporarily suspending operations by the presence of W. Griffin, the Howard University farmer, the students live in the open sleeping in tents which have substantial wooden flooring, each young man having a cot with the necessary bed-clothing. Took Course in Domestic Science. And the food! A young man six feet tall, who took a course in domestic science in one of the high-schools of Washington last year, which he says he did "just for fun," dressed in a chef's attire, was getting up the "eats" which sent out an inviting aroma. A truckload of Howard students just arrived on the scene, having only a few minutes before alighted from the train at Hartford, and in the midst of howdys and hellos, the cabbage was momentarily neglected, but no serious damage was done to the vegetable, which was captive in a large caldron rapidly becoming greasy and brown There is always a human side to anything in which the Negro figures, which was shown by the marked interest of the planters in the welfare of their help and the friendly rivalry existing between Messrs. Floyd, Griffin and Mson, Mr. Griffin wanted to wager that his boys from Morsehouse could heat the other college boys singing, while Mr. Griffin pointed out that he was so favorably impressed with the singing of the Howard boys that he had furnished them with a piano, which was proudly exhibited. Former Senator Alson was quite a boy, were the best students, far at his home at Avon the students had made a big hit in the white church aists. As there are more children in the village, the young men on the Alson's church will work with the village's white men a girl Sundays ago. They were at first rather suspicious but, when greeted, the he had a smile. the Negro trust with all of the special interest in voces ess and normally refers to at asiness. We intend to hire Negro and do the right thing by them as they do the right thing by us." So far the experiment of employing colored help has been a big success, the future of the Negro on the to- coe plantations of New England is his own hands. And it cannot be id that all the colored help has to be been satisfactory. Some weeks a dozen Negroes were sent to the loydville Farm from Norfolk. They were of the shiftless class who had come North for a good time. They refused to work, evincing a preference for shooting craps. Soon they became obnoxious to the community, finally disappearing from Hartford. This has been the only unpleasant incident so far, and the sufferer, strange to relate, was the man who urged the employment of Nexro labor—Mr. Floyd. Races From South Work Side by Side. Among some of the strange features of this new industrial condition is the spectacle of white boys from the South working side by side with colored boys from the South. In his search for labor, J. L. Luddy, in charge of the employment bureau conducted by the tobacco grower, to plight where he employed nine students who were picking tobacco with colored students from Georgia, and there is no racial friction The Connecticut Leaf Tobacco Association raises from four to five thousand acres of shade-grown tobacco and about four thousand acres of sun tobacco yearly. The officers of the association are, L R Haas, president, W A Olds, treasurer, J R Stewart, vice president, M Hartman, secretary, and M P Lloyd, chairman of the board of directors. The plantations use colored labor-student and others are the Harwood, Silver Lane and Floydville farms of the Connecticut Tobacco Corporation. I W Alop Farm, North Neilborough Larsis, Eastogue Larsis, Keiser-Bailey Plantation and the plantations of the Hawkland Tobacco company, Windor Job Growers Corporation Clark Brothers, American Sumatra Tobacco Corporation, Connecticut Sumatra Tobacco Company and the Strain Hartman Company. All of these plantations are within a radius twenty miles from the center of Hartford. Four months in the year—June, July, August and September—constitute the tobacco season. During this period a big demand is made for student labor. But hundreds of positions are open to colored help all the year round. For after the regular season the work of curing and packing tobacco begins. The exodus of thousands of foreigners to Europe since the war and the shortage of labor in the United States have created an unusual and welcome industrial situation. Many colored Americans have profited by this new era of industrialism. Whether the advantage gained is to be short-lived or permanent is left solely with them. THEY MUST MAKE GOOD. This is the only demand made of them by the tobacco growers of Hartford, and by this chief requisite they are being judged elsewhere.

From 'present indications these earnings will continue for many years to come. M I T O-DAY, or invest some money in a well-managed, new automobile or truck manufacturing company, you have an opportunity to make money in the market by this marvelous money-making industry. The REO is not the only automobile company that profits; others have done equally as well or better, and perhaps the very best opportunity to profit is NOW-TO-DAY. Every one knows of the tremendous fortune piled up by Henry Ford, but very few know of the opportunity offered to purchase stock in a company by small investors who took advantage of the opportunity offered to purchase stock in a company. A small investment has grown to a comfortable fortune in many companies, including Ford, Chalmers in Indiana, Fargo Detroit Reo Woolf Federal Motor Truck and many others. The Common Stock of this company is now earning about 30% per annum, and about $160 per share. If you will study the history of the Chalmers you will find that in addition to the dividends distributed worldwide of 800 million in October 1910 in October 1912, another stock dividend of 33 million in June 1913 and another stock dividend of 900 million in August 1910 costing you $100 per value. Upon this you will have $900* increasing your holdings to $1,000 par value. In October 1912 a stock dividend of $133 per value. In June 1913 you received a 25% stock dividend and by December 1913 an increase was in addition to cash dividends paid during that time aggregating over 70%.

This new EMERSON "FOUR," designed by Mr. Hupp, is really a wonderful looking car, and is far ahead, in our opinion, of any other low-priced automobile on the market. The estimated net profit of Sixty-nine Dollars per car beginning in 1917 with a production of thirty thousand cars, shows earnings sufficient to pay more than 20% per annum on the Common stock of the Company.

The colored voters of this country do not want a "Jim Crow" annex to the Republican Campaign Committee. Neither do they care to be deluged with an avalanche of text-books setting forth past performances of the G. O. P. They are chiefly interested in what the Republican Party is going to do for the race in the event of Mr. Hughes' election. What has been is ancient history. In making these assertions we are speaking for the rank and file who deliver the goods, not the politician whose ulterior aim in wanting a Negro Bureau is "pie." We do not expect him to agree with The Age nor are we seeking his friendly consideration. But we do know that the eyes of the colored voters throughout the United States have been opened to the downright selfishness of race leaders who at all times put self before race or party. The average Negro plays the game of politics so crudely that he shows his hand in the beginning. Here is an instance of his method: A delegation of colored men calls on Mr. Hughes at the Hotel Astor and its spokesman warmly assures the Republican nominee that the colored vote is with him to a man—quite a broad assertion. After Mr. Hughes has thanked his visitors for their loyal support the spokesman, in bowing out, tells Mr. Hughes that the members of the delegation think it absolutely necessary to establish headquarters to win over the colored voters. Now if the colored, vote is with the Republican nominee to a man what need is there for colored headquarters? To Messrs. Hughes, Willcox, Reynolds, Parsons, Tanner and other party chieftains the visit of the colored delegation is usually obvious. It is not made primarily to give an expression of loyalty, but to see about opening headquarters. Such methods do not raise us in the estimation of our white friends. The Age desires to see the colored political worker make as much money as he can in the Presidential campaign. But let him make it as legitimately as possible, giving value for whatever remuneration he receives. Nothing has injured us more in the past than members of the race who have been nothing short of grafters. And instead of fooling the white man as they thought, they were fooling themselves. The white leaders do not think any too well of the average colored politician. This is a painful admission, but nevertheless, true. Whatever his views are of us it cannot be denied adverse conclusions have been formed as the direct result of impressions created by ourselves. It is now time to take high ground and show, our white friends that we have political workers of principle, who believe in "the greatest good for the greatest number."

It is said that the State Department may be obliged to ask Carranza for an exact English translation of the Spanish word "preferencialmente," which the Mexican First Chief used in the critical phrase of his communication to this Government. Carranza stated in his note that the commissioners which are to be appointed to settle the Mexican question would "preferencialmente" discuss the withdrawal of the American troops from Mexican territory. It is reported that the word is giving the Administration deep concern because of the doubt as to whether it means "preferably" or "preferentially." If the word "preferencialmente" can be translated "preferably," the Administration will be let down somewhat easily; for then Carranza's statement would mean that the commissioners would prefer to discuss first the withdrawal of the American troops. But if the correct translation is "preferentially," Carranza's statement means that the discussion of the withdrawal of the American troops will take precedence over all other questions, both as to time and importance. It is only natural that the Administration is loth to accept this latter meaning; so it feels that it may be obliged to call on Carranza to say that it means merely "preferably." We do not know whether or not Carranza will accept the responsibility of acting as the English translator of his own communications,—if he is as wily as we have reason to believe that he is, he will not—but we do know that he cannot, without stretching and twisting the Spanish language, make the word "preferencialmente" mean anything less than "preferentially." The word "preferiblemente" is the natural Spanish equivalent for the English word "preferably." But the question of linguistics is here a minor matter. The important and astounding phase of this new dilemma in which the Administration finds itself is the picture of Woodrow Wilson stumped by a word. The warmest admirers of the President have been forced to confess that when he faces a condition requiring firm decision and quick action, he is lost; but his bitterest opponents have had to concede that in a matter of mere words he is always the supreme master of the situation. What then will be left of Wilson's claim to greatness if in a battle of words he meets defeat at the hands of a half-educated Mexican chieftian? TILLMAN RECANTS. Last week we felt almost like eulogizing Ben Tillman on account of some sentiments expressed in a speech which he recently delivered in the Senate. After reading the peroration of this speech we could, by drawing a bit on the imagination, picture the South Carolina fire-eater, now that he begins to feel the chilly waters of Jordan lapping at his feet, as looking back with broader and clearer vision over his erring way. We could almost think of him as standing there, sorry for the wrongs he had committed and caused to be committed against an unoffending people, and wishing to leave some word that might help to rectify those wrongs. His words seemed to indicate that he had undergone a change of heart. We are glad that we did not give away to any such sentiment: for in a letter written a few days ago to the New York Sun, Tillman shows himself to be the same unregenerate old sinner that he was twenty years ago. In this letter he takes pains to make it plain that in whatever way his opinions have changed, they have not changed regarding the Negro; that what he did twenty, thirty or forty years ago he still believes was right; and that he would do it all again if he had his life to live over. The letter in part was as follows: When I said "To hell with the law" I meant the Reconstruction acts which gave Negroes just emancipated from slavery—many of them only one generation removed from barbarism, and none of them more than three generations—the same right to vote as white men throughout the United States. When you remember that South Carolina and Mississippi then, as they do now, had large Negro majorities—and to have allowed the Negroes to rule would have destroyed our civilization, to say nothing of our property—you can understand it. The law of self-preservation compelled us to do it by every means possible, and when we took the State away from the Negroes despite the bayonets, with Grant in the White House, we used our brains to outwift force by stuffing ballot boxes. That is all. If the South had obeyed or acquiesced in the "law" passed by Congress it would be a veritable hell now for decent white people to live in, and that fact is now recognized by all sensible people, north and south. I justified lynching, in the Senate, for rape, and rape only, and I am taking the liberty of sending you my speech made on that occasion. It was in answer to the gifted John C. Spooner, one of the ablest lawyers and the very best debater I have ever known. He did not attempt to reply, because he could not controvert my reasons or dispute my facts. If you do not agree with my conclusions after reading it I shall be very much surprised. --- Of course, there is no use to argue with Pitchfork Ben. If he still feels that way about it, as old as he is, there is no hope for him. We can only say that he made famous the phrase, "To hell with law," and that, although we may not be ultra orthodox, we find no difficulty in believing that he will soon find out how much of it he was instrumental in sending there. SUFFRAGE IN THE SOUTH. Hill Weed, research chairman of the Union Suffrage is reported in a despatch for President Wilson's information onance of white supremacy in the Session of Southern women. Weed: old the white women of the South outweigh by more than 6,000,000 and the tue by 2,000,000 or more. It is idle, that the Negro problem is a reason for opendment. The only answer needed is figures. They dispel all useless fears were submitted by Mrs. Weed. Mrs. Holena Hill Weed, research chairman of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage is reported in a despatch from Washington as offering for President Wilson's information statistics to show that the maintenance of white supremacy in the South is dependent on the enfranchisement of Southern women. Says Mrs. Weed: "All told the white women of the South outnumber the Negro women by more than 6,000,000 and the total Negro population by 2,000,000 or more. It is idle, therefore, to argue that the Negro problem is a reason for opposing the Federal amendment. The only answer needed is to show the census figures. They dispel all useless fear." These figures were submitted by Mrs. Weed in answer to a statement which President Wilson is reported to have made to a group of Democratic women who called on him recently at the White House to the effect that it was not the question of State's rights, but the Negro problem that kept him from declaring for Federal woman suffrage. President Wilson has distinguished himself by his ability to trim his sails to every wind. He has found no difficulty in shifting his position on important questions whenever the trend of public sentiment seemed to call for it, even though the shift put him in an inconsistent position. For example, when Theodore Roosevelt aroused the nation on preparedness, Wilson shifted from his position of "too proud to fight;" and toured the country in an attempt to out-Roosevelt Roosevelt. But Wilson has not shifted one inch on the Negro or on any question remotely touching the Negro. Ever since he was inaugurated he has stood firmly with the Hoke Smiths, the Vardamans, the Tillmans and the Bleases. Mr. Hughes has declared for a constitutional amendment that will make sex no barrier to the suffrage. This declaration has brought to the Republican candidate the hearty support of all thoughtful and progressive women. There is no doubt that Mr. Wilson, noting the trend of public sentiment, would, according to his custom, shift his ground and go Mr. Hughes one better on this point if he dared; but the political welfare of the Negro in the South is involved, and he doesn't dare. In his Chicago speech, Mr. Hughes said what we have so often reiterated in these columns, that the present Administration is not national, but sectional. We repeat, that it is not even Democratic, it is Southern. The Administration of Woodrow Wilson has almost completely undone what it took the Negro fifty years to accomplish politically. The defeat of Wilson is the most vital question that has confronted the colored voters of the United States in twenty years. DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY. We cannot vouch for the coproduce the following compilation years 1913, 1914 and 1915, as table the New York dailies: In 1913 the liabilities for amounted to $272,672,288; in for the twelve months end amounted to $31,918,901. During the worst pancenced, that of 1893, the total amount over $11,000,000 less "prosperous" Wilson year of In the panic of 1907 the $35,255. In 1913 Wilson for 287,063, in 1914 by $160,523.6. The correspondent states the pilation of commercial failures in Dunn & Co. for the "1916 Eagle lately reliable. The Democrats are making their being continued in power, there is a certain kind of prosper figures prove what everybody kni is not evenly distributed through people. A prosperity without a We cannot vouch for the correctness of the figures, but we reproduce the following compilation of business failures during the years 1913, 1914 and 1915, as tabulated by a correspondent to one of the New York dailies: In 1913 the liabilities for failures in all lines of business amounted to $272,672,288; in 1914 they rose to $357,907,859; for the twelve months ended December 1, 1915, they amounted to $349,188,901. During the worst panic this country ever experienced, that of 1893, the total failures were $346,779,889, an amount over $11,000,000 less than the failures during the "prosperous" Wilson year of 1914. In the panic of 1907 the failures amounted to $197.535,255. In 1913 Wilson failures exceeded this by $75.287,063, in 1914 by $160,523,634 and in 1915 by $111,803,676. The correspondent states that these figures are from the compilation of commercial failures in this country, prepared by R. G. Dunn & Co. for the "1916 Eagle Almanac"; if so, they are absolutely reliable. The Democrats are making the claim, as one of the reasons for their being continued in power, that the country is prosperous. That there is a certain kind of prosperity, no one can deny, but the above figures prove what everybody knows: that it is a prosperity which is not evenly distributed throughout the country, and among the people. A prosperity without a solid foundation. OPENING THE CAMPAIGN Charles Evan Hughes, in opening the Republican campaign at Detroit on Monday, set a pace that will be hard to beat. He struck the Wilson Administration in two of its most vulnerable spots, its Mexican policy and its utter disregard of the civil-service laws. Mr. Hughes' assault upon Wilson forthis wholesale dismissal of experienced officials and his appointment to office of incompetent men was so telling that it has stirred the Administration to make official denials. Mr. W. J. Bryan gave out an interview in St. Louis, in which he characterized Hughes' speech as "vile and unfair." Bryan may be excused, as he was named as one of the chief incompetents. Hughes branded the Democratic party as being not a national but a sectional party. There is another vulnerable spot upon which Mr. Hughes can strike the Wilson Administration, and that is the treatment it has accorded to twelve million loyal colored citizens. A blow upon this spot will not only appeal to colored citizens, but to fair minded citizens all over the country. A NEW INSULT.

The article is called "The Ford Nigger," and is a new contrivance for jacking Ford cars, and the Advertiser goes on to state that Ford dealers all over the country are displaying much interest in it. We suggest to the colored people of Montgomery and Alabama and elsewhere, who are users of Ford cars that they write personal protests to Mr. Ford concerning this matter, and we feel sure that he will see that the name of this new accessory for his cars is changed or that it is not handled by his dealers. CATCH HIM FIRST. At a big demonstration of workingmen in Trafalgar Square, London, many speeches were made urging the British Government to impound all German property, and to hang Emperor William, Admiral von Tirpitz and Governor-General von Bissing as "common malefactors." The British Government may get right on the job of impounding German property, but as to hanging Emperor William, von Tirpitz, and von Bissing; the first thing to be done will be to catch them.

The only result of its introduction will be the demonstration of how prejudiced, how mean, how narrow, how bitter, how low down and hellish a man can be, and still look upon himself as a human being.

Club at the church when Pastor golden-addressed them from the subject, "The National and International Crisis in the life of the Negro." First he showed the part that the African natives are playing in the European war. He showed that the Negro colonial soldiers of the various nations at war were being forced to fight for that which did not personally concern them or uplift them, and he said that the sane thing will happen upon this continent. He said it was therefore important that the colored people of these United States should organize for their special benefit and the good of the nation in general, national political party, with state and national candidates upon the state and national tickets for the offices that guarantee to men in democratic government political justice and equality. He declared that he was willing to head this movement by contributing $100 toward a fund for this purpose, if 1,000 men will do the same. He also said he was willing to call a national convention for this purpose and that he was also willing to offer himself as a candidate for president of the United States and was willing to begin at once and continue the fight for political justice and equality the remainder of his human life. The men seemed dazed by what he said, but went away with a great deal of enthusiasm and pledged their support to the movement. JERSEY CITY N. Jersey City, N.

Splendid work is accomplished by Laura Bowman and Abbie Mitchell in their respective characterizations of Mrs. George Nettleton, and Miss Florence Cole, afflianced to Johns. Several newcomers are in the cast; and all of them give promise of being valuable additions to the Lafayette forces. Little Miss Adele Johnson made a hit as the Office Boy, and E. E. Abrams was the typical Tony Toler, the firm's salesman. Cleo Desmond gave one of the most artistic of her many artistic efforts in doing the part of Coddles, an English maid of all work. It is a treat to see and hear her, and her versatility was never shown to better advantage than by the way in which she simulated the English "navy's" accent and mannerisms. The cast was well balanced and each character was Babe Townsend as Krome, the bookkeeper; Nathaniel Guy, as Thomas I. Landerholt, the lawyer; and Joe Manning, as Mr. Appelgate. In the orchestra Mrs. Theodore Gibson is most capably substituting for Marne Lucas, who is in Baltimore, working in the orchestra at the new theatre, the Colonial. Monday afternoon, August 14, the bill at the Lafayette will be Owen Davis' four-act play, "Big Jim Garrity." This will be one of the most ambitious efforts of the stock players, and Manager Elmore has called to the task several of his strongest workers. The will include Sidney Kirkpatrick, Clarence E. Muse, dainty little Mrs. Chas. H. Anderson and Anita Bush, with other parts capably filled. The entire cast will be: John Dexter, division superintendent California Central R. R.

Anderson Silvia Cregan, Anita Bush. Laura, Oma Crosby Boquet THE LINGOLN Last week was a banner week at the attractive little Lincoln Theatre. Mrs. Downs, the proprietor, ably seconded by Manager Billy Burke and his, assistant Jack Dempsey, presented two striking features in the vaudeville section, besides the usual exceptionally strong film plays shown on the screen. "Mule" Bradford presented his "Made in Harlem" company in a revival of an old-fashioned minstrel first part, and the little company made good. The comedy work was done by Mason and Dick Webb, as end men, with "Mule" coming in the finale. In the olio Margaret Jackson, the girl with a big voice, sang a solo with good effect and her voice easily dominated the chorus singing. Howard, the interlocutor, with his Pieceadly mannerisms and accent was a favorite with the audiences and his work lent a spice and snap to the performance. Bradford's appearance, in his vory close-fitting red trousers, brought forth an avalanche of applause and his song went big Leigh Whippier did a single turn the first half of the week, but the last half he put on a sketch, using a company of five people, one girl and four men, including himself. The sketch was cleverly done and the audience certainly seemed to enjoy the triumph of the scheming and skilful gang of crooks. Pictures at the Lincoln are a special feature and special releases are shown each day. In fact, there is no house in Greater New York that shows better pictures than does the Lincoln. Manager Burke is making friends for the house by his policy of showing the best photo films. For the week of August 14 a vaudeville bill is to be given that will be hard to beat. The Stewart Sisters, Bully Dixon, Grant & Rector and The Merry Trio will be seen, and the feature photo play will be "The Love Girl". For the last half Lone Bert Murphy and Easton & Easton have been engaged, with two to fill. THEATRICAL LOTTINGS. Seymour & May and the Ruffian Picks are at the New Regent Theatre, Baltimore.

(BY LUCIEN H. WHITE) Notwithstanding the published reports emanating from Washington, sent out by irresponsible correspondents who base their statements largely on imagination, the Lafayette Theatre stock company will not interrupt its season at the Howard Theatre, Washington, but will give each week to the Washingtonians an opportunity to witness their interpretations of the big dramatic plays which have been tremendous successes on Broadway and in all the large cities of the country. The only true part of the statement, it appears, is that part which refers to the renovating and embellishment of the theatre. This will be done, all right, but Manager Thomas and the Quality Amusement Co. have arranged that this work will be done at night after the close of the regular performance, the workmen having control of the building until time for the next day's performance. Of course, it is inconvenient, but both the producing company and the resident manager realized what hardships would accrue to a large company of players through a period of enforced idleness, and although it means a large additional expense on them the company will continue its regular itinerary-playing the Lafayette, New York; the Howard, Washington; and the Colonial, Balkimore, in turn. Down in Baltimore the Colonial Theatre has been acquired by the New York company operating as the Quality Amusement Co. and, as heretofore stated, the house was opened July 31 by the Lafayette stock company in Geo. Broadhurst's great play, "The Price." The Baltimore public gave the New York players a most gracious reception, and all the Baltimore dailies spoke in high terms of the work of the colored Thespians. But Baltimore is a Southern city, with a deep strain of mean, pernicious race prejudice. The Colonial Theatre had been operated for seventeen years with no complaint, but as soon as the Negro players put in an appearance in a dignified attempt at the expression of the higher attributes of dramatic art, "Old Man Prejudice" came out also. Some of the merchants on Eutaw street, near the theatre, objected to the colored players and theatre-goers. The mayor was powerless to act, so the building inspector was called in, and he responded most nobly. Stairways that have accommodated the Colonial crowds for seventeen years were found to be entirely inadequate $ ^{2} $ for the crowds which surged to see the fat-famed Negro players from New York, so Building Inspector Byrne immediately issued an ultimatum to the effect that the theatre must close. But that was not the end, by any means. Mr. Levy, a member of the producing company, was in Baltimore, superintending the production, and he set legal machinery in motion, with the result that a temporary injunction was obtained from the courts, restraining the mayor, the building inspector or any other official of the city from interfering in any way, shape or form, with the Quality Amusement Co and its players at the Colonial Theatre. The week's performances of "The Price" were finished and this week another group of players are giving "The Third Degree" with an equal measure of success. There is every reason to believe that the city authorities will make no further attempt to interfere with the Negro players, as the weakness of their position has been significantly shown. In fact, it has been intimated that the whole matter will be pigeon-holed and the case dropped. But whether it is or not, it is declared by officers of the Elite Amusement Corporation that nothing will be allowed to interfere with their intention to establish a chain of high-class theatres for the production of big and powerful dramatic creations by Negro artists. THE LAFAYETTE. The intense heat and withering humidity has had but little effect upon the audiences at the Lafayette, and to all appearances has had no effect upon the efforts of the players. Each week the producing company presents a work which has attained notable success, not only on Broadway, but in other large cities of the country and on tour, and each week it seems that the talented people who make up the four companies now being carried by the Elite Amusement Co. rise to greater heights of histrionic and artistic success. The play this week is a scream from start to finish—that is, it literally keeps the audience screaming almost from the rising of the curtain on the first act until the lights are out and the people are on their ways homeward "A Pair of Sixes" by Edward Peples is the vehicle this week on which Tom Brown and Walker Thompson, as George Nettleton and T. Bogas Johns, business partners, are riding to the howling appreciation of large audiences. Iris Hall, as Miss Sally Parker, their stenographer, has a more ambitious part than usual, and she makes good use of the opier- THE LINCOLN --- --- iams is at the Savoy Hotel in the afternoon and at Murray's Club, London, at night.

Williams' orchestra is the closing attraction on each day's pro Sporting Notes At Harlem Sporting Club, Madison avenue and 135th street, on last Friday night, were two of the best ten-round bouts ever staged by Lew Raymond, the matchmaker, before a very large crowd considering the warm weather. Buddy Faulks easily defeated Monte Attel, the brother of the former featherweight champion, Abe Attel. At no time during the bout did Attel have a chance because Faulks kept him on the run all the time and floored him several times with vicious blows to the jaw. Attel seemed to be bewildered from the first round and really did not land over three real blows during the bout. In meeting Attel the colored boy had the worst of blows by several pounds, but that did not bother him. He showed those present that his opponent was not in his class. In Faulks, Manager Banks has the best boy, white or colored, at the bantam weight, and I am sure that his protege can defeat any boy in the world in that class. The second ten-round bout showed Battleing Chuck, the fighting wonder, a boy who is on the trail of the flyweight champion, Wilde, or Rosner. Many fight fans say Chuck will surely defeat any boy that makes 110 pounds. His manager, Tommy Crane, finds it very hard to get boys at his weight to meet him, and he has to let Chuck meet boys much heavier than him. That was the case in this bout. Willie Astey, his opponent, is a recognized bantamweight and a boy who has a decision over the bantamweight champion, Young Ertl. As in other fights held at these boxing clubs, the colored fighter goes in the ring handicapped in weight. But in meeting Chuck, Astey met the hardest boy he has ever fought. And all the time during the bout the crowd was on its feet, applauding both boys. During the first five rounds the bout was even, but in the last five rounds Chuck just simply smothered Astey with all kinds of punches. He knocked him down several times, and opened an awful cut over his left eye from which blood flowed very freely. Astey seemed to be on the verge of quitting several times. Chuck was so aggressive that he overcame any lead that Astey had in the first part of the fight and won easily. First four-round bout—Young Bradley boxed a draw with Kid Murray. Second four-round bout -Kid Bacon defeated Danny Deveze. This bout was for action. Kid Bacon boxed a draw with Young Frenchy, in the last four-round bout. At Harlem Sporting Club, 15th street and Madison avenue, on next Friday night, another all-star card has been arranged by Lew Raymond, the matchmaker. There will also be three four-round bouts and one six-round bout. 1887 "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES" 1916 THE TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL PICNIC TENDERED BY MT. CALVARY COMMANDRY, No. 1, K. T.

The fight fans are assured a good bout when these boys meet. In the final bout of the evening Mark Spencer, the Harlem featherweight, one of the best two handed fighters in the business, a boy who is coming all the time, and has a knockout in either hand, will swap punches with that great Italian fighter, Young Russo. These two bouts should pack the club house on Friday night. ★ ★ ★ Queensboro Athletic Club, Long Island City—On last Saturday night, Bob Massey, the colored lightweight, fought his first mixed bout and celebrated it by knocking out Kid Clarke, white, in the second round. * * * Clermont A. C.-On last Thursday evening Willie Langford, the colored fighter of Brooklyn, and one of the best middleweight fighters, white or colored, fought his first mixed bout since the ban has been lifted, his opponent being Mike McTigue. After eight rounds of hard fighting, with Langford doing most of the leading and with the fight slightly in his favor, he seemed to get over-anxious and unintentionally fouled McTigue. The referee stopped the bout and gave the fight to McTigue. *** Manager Ferribee, 45 West 133d street, through these columns challenges the world in behalf of his champ, K. O Williams, at the welterweight limit, 145 pounds --- BASEBALL Lenox Oval, 145th street and Lenox avenue,—Penn. Red Caps and the Grand Central Red Caps played the first game of their series on these grounds before a very large crowd of fans who seemed to enjoy the playing of both teams by applauding every good play made. Armstrong, the star pitcher of the Penn Red Caps, seemed to be unable to get in condition and only lasted three innings, but Captain Church had provided for the downfall of Armstrong by adding another good pitcher to his team by the name of Chas. Culver from New York. In obtaining Culver the Penn Red Caps have on their team one of the best all-around ball players in the game, and a pitcher who can make the batters stand on their heads trying to hit him. So when Capt Church removed Armstrong from the box and Culver took up his burden it was known to the ones that knew Culver that Grand Central had lost. And when they play Monarch 45, Elks, it will be a much different game from the last one. The score: R.H.E. Grand Central.... 014 000 001—6 9 3 Penn.

Ridgewood Grounds, Brooklyn.—The Royal Giants, who are now playing the best ball of any of the colored teams in and around New York, beat the Bushwicks and Cuban Stars in a double bill on last Sunday. The games had many features, the main one being the batting of Pugh, the Royals' fight fielder, and the fielding of Handy, the second baseman. The Royals' pitchers are in rare form, especially Harvey, the left-hander, who allowed the Cuban Stars only two hits. The scores: R.H.E.

Brooklyn can have as strong a track team as either of the "Big Three"—Alpha, St. C. or Salem Crescent, because she has the material. On Saturday, July 29, Joseph Qualls of the Excelsior A. A., took second place in the mile run in Paterson, N. J., and also ran a creditable race on Sunday, July 30, at Celtic Park. This young star looks to be another J. B.

Harvey, pastor Trinity Baptist Church, Williamsbridge, has requested the publication of the following appeal to the people to join in prayer at stated times in behalf of the children during the present infantile paralysis epidemic: In the name of God, his Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, and in behalf of the children of Greater New York who are being afflicted by intolerable paralysis, this appeal is made to masters and members of their churches, and Christians, that since the learned scientific medical profession has failed to find a remedy for this dreadful malady to go to the throne of Grace three times a day, morning, noon and evening, and any other stated times, and ask the intercession of the Great Physician, Jesus Christ, to speak the word and stay the ravages of the dreadful disease. All who believe in the power of prayer are urgently asked to enlist in this important matter beginning Sunday, August 13, and continuing daily until relief is given through Jesus Christ, our Lord. The editor will be rendering a lasting benefit upon the afflicted children and humanity, by giving a conspicuous and wide publication to this important matter.
