XXX No. 52 NEW YORK BODY GIVES $1,000 Southern Beneficial League Donates Large Sum To Memorial Fund. Amount Subscribed By Local Organization Exceeds All Contributions Made by the Race to Date. RECEIPTS OF FESTIVAL League Had Voted to Denate, Eighty Per Cent of the Receipts from the Annual Spring: Festival—Total Reached nearly $1,000, So Sum Was Voted from Treasury Augmenting it to that Amount. In subscribing $1,000 to the Booker T. W. Washington Memorial Fund, the Southern Bueneficial League has distinguished itself by giving the largest amount to perpetuate the memory of Booker T. W. Washington of any colored person or colored organization to date. Tuesday Thomas W. Griggsby, president of the league, handed Dr. K. P. Roberts treasurer the local committee, a check for hundred, most of which was a part of the net proceeds from the Easter reception and ball given by the Southern Beneficial League at Manhattan Casino, on April 24 last. When an appeal was made that the Negroes of the country generously subscribe to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund, which is being raised to perpetuate the memory of the late Tuskegeean, the members of the Southern Beneficial League, at one of the regular meetings, passed a resolution to give to the fund eight per cent. of the net proceeds derived from the Easter reception and ball, and the public was informed of such an arrangement. $1,000 Voted to Fund. At the last meeting of the league, when a final report of the ball was made, the net proceeds were found to amount to $1,178.30. Eighty per cent of this sum would have given the fund $424.64. However, as we are in previews that the Southern League had promised to subscribe $1,000 to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund, $57.36 was taken from the charity fund of the league to make the subscription an even $1,000. For some time the Southern Beneficial League has been wanting to do something to support the league to support it has received from the public for the past twenty-five years or more. Whenever an entertainment has been given under its auspices the league has always drawn large crowds. In contributing $1,000 to the Washington Memorial Fund the members believe they are paying tribute to a person they are admired to his race, and it is by this means that they express their appreciation for the public's large support in the past. Officers of League. The members of the Executive Committee, which had charge of the Southern Benevolent League's Easter entertainment, were Hillary Hebron, chairman; Robert R Ladson, vice-chairman; Granville V. L. Paris, secretary; Daniel P Agard, assistant secretary; John Hakain, treasurer; Llee L. Lee, treasurer; D. Lincoln Reed, Wissa W. Shaughter and George Deas. The officers of the league are: Thos W.

In the campaign being conducted throughout the United States to raise $200,000 for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund, some seem to think that the money is to be spent in erecting the Mo. Museum. This opinion is in accord with keep Tufts Institute intact, as the amount of money necessary to conduct this famous institution from year to year is large.

C.-By reason of the several colleges located in this city, two of which are colored, Shaw and St. Augustine, Raleigh is called an educational center. With these environments for educational uplift and social refinement it is presumed that a larger proportion of educated colored men and women are to be found here than in any other city in this state. The logical conclusion is that education and refinement begets pride, in dress, department, and nationality. In so far as observation goes, this logical rule does not work in this city, among educated Negroes in so far as race pride is concerned. The Age representative interviewed several Negro business men and women in this city who are making an effort to do business in the several channels pursued by their white brothers, such as dry goods, grocery, shoe merchants and butchers. We asked each to give us a list of the customers and other educated Negroes, who trade with them. The drygoods merchant named three, the shoe merchant named five, the butcher named ten, the grocery merchant named four. "These trade with us occasionally," said the merchants. Many of the sons and daughters of the men and women who do not trade with Negro merchants are engaged in various lines of mental labor as a means of livelihood. Common judgment ought to impel men to assist in building enterprises by co-operation. In order that these boys and girls can find ready work of a congenial nature and in keeping with their education and qualification. FOR SIXTEEN YEARS HAS JOUGHT FOR CONGRESS FOUGHT FOR CONGRESS Aaron P. Prioleau of Funtawille, S. C., is in the city. Mr. Prioleau for sixteen years has been fishing in the establishment he has sent in the Congress of the United States. He was a candidate for Congress from the First Congressional District of South Carolina at each election during the past sixteen years, the district having a large majority of Negro residents. Each time the democratic election managers have courteed him out and each time he has instituted a contest. He has a contest pending in the Congress. This contest was argued last March, and the committee on contests has reported against Mr. Prioleau, but final action has not been taken. Although Congress appropriated the sum of $2,000 for expenses contracted by a contestant, Mr. Prioleau has not been able to secure the payment of this sum from the 62d and 63d Congresses. He claims that because of the holding up of his claims he has had to mortgage his farm lands in Berkeley County and his home and farm lands in Eutawville to the extent of $4,000 to meet the expense attaching to his contract. Mr. Prioleau declares that in the campaign effort will be made to have the Republican party represented by a white man who is friendly to the race, but if that is not possible he will again be a candidate, as he will not consent that the party should not be recorded as making a fight for representation. He is delivering lectures at various points around New York. THE SOJOURNER TRUTH HOUSE AND ITS WORK Splendid Accomplishment of Organization for Care of Wayward Girls. DELINQUENTS ARE CARED FOR Girls Under Sixteen are Received and Every Effort Made to Overcome Effects of Evil Associations and Vicious Surroundings — Mrs. Winston, Superintendent, Doing Good Work. Pursuing a policy which combines love and affectionate treatment with firm and just discipline, Mrs. Cora L. Winston, superintendent of the Sopourner Truth House for Delinquent Colored Girls, has accomplished some splendid results in the three months since taking charge of that work. The House is located at 15 west Elm street, and the girls are cared for by Mrs. Winston and Miss West, the matron. The Sojourner Truth House was incorporated October, 1915, under the State Board of Charities, and is the outcome of efforts put forth by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, under whose superintendent, the State Board, theitable temporary quatters for delinquent colored girls under 16 years of age led to the formation, several years ago, of the Sojourner Truth House Committee. Continued effort, enlisting the support of various influential factors in New York interested in child welfare, finally brought about the operation of this home. Sources secured from a variety of sources, including $1,084 from the Utopa Neighborhood Club, an organization of colored women, made possible the financing of a budget for three years' operation of the home. After the usual rigid examination by the State's officers, the home received its charter, and the first girl was received in January 1916. Burleigh was the first superintendent, continuing as such until the condition of her health made retirement imperative. When Mrs. Winston took charge on June 24 there were five girls in the home. She immediately got in touch with the judges of the children's courts, Judges Haye Ryan, Collins and Mayo, and the judge of the Bronx court, Judge Wilkins of the Brooklyn court, and officers of the Geary Society. Judges Co-operated. She also secured personal acquaintance and contact with many of the prominent white women engaged in Big Sister work, who were, because of that work, familiar with conditions as related to delinquent girls, colored as well as white. This enabled her to secure their co-operation, and in the past three months she has had committed to the Sojourner Home. Some even of the various agencies no longer sixteen. Many of these girls were lacking in suitable home surroundings, and some of them were rapidly approaching the irreclamable stage. None had been convicted in court, but in each case the judge had used his discretion by committing them for varying periods to the Sojourner Truth Home in the hope that their wayward tendencies might be corrected. Sympathy, tact and understanding in the handling of individual cases, are effective acencies, and through these means three of the girls have shown such satisfactory signs of improvement that on Mrs Winston's recommendation, approved by the committing judge, they have been allowed to return to their homes. Three others, showing marked improvement at the end of the period for which they were originally committed judge, by the committing judge to remain in the home for further development. The girls are given careful and expert training in household, service, being taught how to do everything around the house from the kitchen to the parlor. Miss West, the matron, has supervision of the work in the laundry and kitchen, and under her capable instruction they soon become expert cooks. Miss Winston puts them through the paces in taking care of the sleeping chambers and parlor, and they profit greatly from the training. Girls Placed In Homes. As a result, there are frequent requests for the services in homes of girls who have had this training, and if the people making the request can satisfy the superintendent of the home, the representative of the National Urban League and the nursing judge to their authority measure to the extent the sponsibility, their request is complied with. At present three girls have been placed in desirable homes, two in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn. In one of the cases the girl has been adopted into the family, and in another case the desire to do so has been expressed. Of the sixteen girls coming under the initiative presented in the report, only two failed to show such evidences of improvement as would warrant their being placed under more favorable environments. These two the committing index finally placed with the House ofood Shepherd. The Solourner Truth House is also in a position to receive girls from the national Urban League has taken out national the amount of $1,000 under the New Jersey State Board of Charities for the proper care and supervision of girls entrusted to its care. The house occupied at present has ten rooms, and there are accommodations THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1916. for twelve girls. That work is being forwarded by the Superformer Truth House organization, with the following officers and board of rectors: Mrs. George W. Seligman, president; Eugene Kincle Jones, secretary; Victor H. McCutcheon, treasurer; Mrs. M. A. Armstrong (widow of the late Gen. Armstrong of Hampton Institute), the Rev. Butchuski, M. Hys Gerte, grandmother, Mrs. William R. R. Kern, Mrs. Albert S. Reed, and Elizabeth Walton, Mrs. Henry Peden McClendon. Much interest has been revived in the work of the home by Dr. Hastings H. Hart of the Department of Child Help-Indication, and he has given Mrs. Winston the benefit of his expert advice whenever called on.

PAY TARDY TRIBUTE To prevent the entitlement of Negroes in the military service of the United States. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That hereafter the Negroes are obligated to enlist in the military service of the United States, either in the Army or Navy, any person of the Negro or colored race. Sec. 8 All laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are hereby repealed. This bill was introduced on July 27 and referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. Senator Thomas Taggart of the Wilson administration toward the vicious and contemptible measure, immediately wrote a letter to the Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, asking for his views on the subject. Senator Taggart declared his opposition to the bill and said he hoped the Administration also opposed it. In reply to Secretary of War Baker wrote as follows: "Those who are familiar with the history of our country from the armies organized by George Washington, in the American revolution, down to the present day, know that brave and often conspicuously gallant service has been rendered by colored troops. In the most recent war, in which these colored troops conducted themselves with the greatest intellipth, and reflected nothing but honor upon the uniform they wore."

LINCOLN INSTITUTE HAS LARGE ENROLLMENT PRESIDENT ALLEN'S ADDRESS Students are Enrolled from 11 States Giving the Largest Enrollment, for Beginning of Term in History of the School-B.F. F. Allen, President, Says Negro Is Gaining Recognition. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) JERKESON CITY, Mo.-Lincoln Institute opened September 5 with the largest first-day enrollment in its history. One hundred and thirty-five enrolled the first day, and now, at the close of the second week, the enrollment is more than three hundred. Student sate enrolled from Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Washington, Colorado, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Missouri. Student Allen delivered a very fine opening address. Among other things he said: Slowly but surely the American Negro is gaining recognition for himself. He is proving that he is not racially incompetent: that his apparent backwardness has been due to lack of opportunity and to unfavorable environment that has hindered his capabilities which even he himself has doubted. In less than a generation the Negro has progressed from a state of most object ignorance to his present highly developed state. In slavery the great majority of our people knew nothing beyond what occurred before he was born. The Negro is an intelligent citizen looking out on the world through the eyes of the educated man. This has been a marvelous metamorphoses. There is nothing like it in history. No other race has developed so rapidly in the face of so manybustacles. No foreign elephant is seen in the American melting pot. Negroes are a real economic factor in the development of this country. They do not toll and save their earnings to carry them back to some foreign shore. They build for the future, and all this white men some day must realize. Our immigrants are the same; their neighbors are the same; our prosperity depends upon the same conditions; our safety upon the same defense. Why, then, should there be any Negro problem? The uneducated Negro is the only problem we have to contend with. We are the eyes of our white neighbors. Let therefore, eliminate him—he is the disturbing element. What shall we do with him? We cannot export him. We cannot anil- imitate him. Then let us educate him. He is to be found in every community. Every one knows him—the shiftless fellow who wants "to be let alone"; the fellow who never sticks at anything—who is here, there and every- where; here today and there tomorrow. He is to ship with our white neigh- nigh. He is the only stumbling block in the path of our progress. Get him, send him to school. You can do it. Let him see what education has done for you. Let him feel that he cannot keep your respect or your friendship if he chooses to remain lenorant. Let him know that it is his duty to get an education. Send him to school. Thus we shall take the time to learn the Negro problem and shall have gone a long way toward establishing a more friendly relationship between the two races in this country.

NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. :: :: :: PRICE FIVE CENTS AGENTS RAISE RENT ON RACE Harlemites Up In Arms Against Some Real Estate Agents. Residents of 143rd Street Block Charge that Negro Tenants Are Forced to Pay $4 to $14 More Than Whites Paid. NEGRO AGENTS GET BLAME Strong Protest Is Signed by 109 Tenants Occupying Different Apartments in Seven Houses in One Block—Receipts from Former White Tenants Show Difference in Rents Charged. That Negro real estate agents are increasing rentals from $4 to $14 per month for apartments recently opened to colored tenants is the charge made by more than one former Harlemites from 174 West 143rd street, Seventh and Eighth avenues, who have signed a protest against this procedure and have formed a Block Committee to fight the problems. There have been procured from former white tenants of these apartments, rent receipts which show that they had paid $20, $22 and $25 for apartments which the colored agents are renting to colored tenants for $28, $30 and $35. The agents against whom charges are alleged in this matter are A. G. Thompson, 174 West 143rd street, Knowles, 141 West 136th street, and John M. Rovail, 21 West 134th street. There is included also a white agency, the Growham, 143d street. It is alleged by the people who are making this campaign that Mr. Thompson was the prime mover in this plan of raising the rentals to such abnormal figures, as it is reported that a committee of ladies who went to Thompson's office and asked for information about these houses received from a clerk in the office a statement to a effect that the landlord is being the landlords and that the management of the properties would again be in his hands. Increase Rents but Make No Repairs. It is declared that, although the rentals have been increased from $4 to $14 per month, the agents are doing no cleaning up of the houses nor are they making alterations or repairs. It is declared also that white agents at the largest increased rentals in a manner calculated to make them move that the houses might thereby be available for renting to Negro tenants at the largest increased rentals established by the Negro real estate men, Representative colored and white citizens of Harlem are expressing the greatest surprise that some colored men are lending themselves to a proposition characterized by them as outracous. Men who are familiar with realty conditions affirm that this policy, if continued, will lead to a real estate panic such as was experienced four years ago. On account of the unusual demand for apartments in the whole Harlem district, it is charged that agents are making an increase of $1 to $2 per month in rentals in additional houses in which Negroes are asked to pay a scale of rentals which their moms do not justify, will lead eventually, it is claimed, to a panky condition that will give the colored tenant a lead reputation in business and financial circles. As described by 100 tenants, each name represented a different apartment in only seven houses in one block, already occupied by colored people, is being sent to the owners of these properties. Not only does this practically unanimous petition protest against the enormous rentals charged but it also protests against colored families thoughtlessly rushing into these apartments, accusing and in some cases even offering, unreasonable terms to obtain accommodations. They declare also that when colored tenants are placed in houses next to them, similar to the ones they are occupying, the new tenants paying from $5 to $15 more per apartment, it will mean that the landlords of the present town raise their rentals also. The Nationwide Union Conditions Among Negroes is co-operating with the people on this block in making this fight on abnormal increases in rentals, the secretary of the housing bureau of the league, John T. Clark, being actively in touch with various phases of the campaign. The following is the petition which has already been signed by 109 of the residents of the 143d street block, and which will be sent to owners of the properties. "We, the undersigned colored tenants, living in 143d street, between 7th and 8th avenues, do hereby protest against the outrageous rentals charged by real estate dealers who, for some unscrupulous landlords, are dispassessing white tenants in this and neighboring blocks and opening these houses to colored people, charging from $4 to $14 more rent per month than the white tenants were paying.

Entered at the Post Office at New York as Second Class Matter. Published on thursday of every week by Fred R. Moore, 247 W. 40th Street, New York. THE HARLEM GOLD MINE FRED R. MOORE.....Publisher and Editor LESTER A. WALTON.....Making and Dramatic Editor LUCIEN H. WHITE.....City Editor EUGENE L. MOORE.....Advertising Agent JAMES W. JOHNSON...Contributing Editor London Office.....17 Green Street, Charing Cross Roads, E. C. For centuries the natives in South Africa literally slept over a gold mine. Around the Kimberly region it is likely that many a native stubbed his toe against a diamond and kicked it out of the way. The gold and diamonds were useless to them not only because they, probably, did not know that these precious stones were right under their feet, but because they did not know how to make use of their value.

The few Negroes who are doing business only emphasize the statement. Is there any good reason, is there any good excuse for this? "THE HARLEM GOLD MINE." In line with the investigation of business conditions among colored people in Harlem, which The Age is conducting, we reproduce this week "The Harlem Gold Mine," an editorial which appeared in this paper nearly two years ago. "The Harlem Gold Mine" aroused such wide and favorable comment at the time of its publication that we feel justified in reproducing it for the benefit of the many readers that have been added to The Age family within the past two years. When a colored man goes into business the principal thing he should remember is that a Negro is a human being first and a Negro afterwards; that is, his human nature lies deeper than his color. So a Negro, no more than anybody else, is going to buy from a man unless that man's stock is as good, his prices as cheap and his service as attentive as are those of his competitors; and it is foolish to expect him to do it, because it is contrary to human nature. Through race pride and enthusiasm he may do it once or twice or three times, but he won't keep it up. Mere race pride is no sound basis on which to do business WILCOX ON WILSON. In an article in one of the New York dailies, Hon William R. Wilcox, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, turns the light on President Wilson's "Jim Crow" policy. He traces the birth and growth of the obnoxious segregation orders which have been adopted in all governmental branches where colored men are employed. Mr. Wilcox does not mince words. He speaks out plainly in his condemnation of the President's surrender to the Negro hating Hoke Smith and Senator Vardaman. Colored men who go into business must study it not only from the race's point of view, but from the business man's point of view. They must study the science of business management—and it is now a science, with books and magazines devoted to its study. They must learn the difference between profit and loss. They must learn how to figure on it of a cent. They must learn the advantages of advertising. These are the only methods by which they can compete in the modern business world, and the only solid foundation on which to build a business. One of the common causes for business failure among colored men is overshooting the mark; that is, trying to create a demand rather than trying to supply one. Creating a demand generally requires unlimited capital. Take for example the average Southern city. Some colored man will conceive the laudable ambition of opening an up-to-date restaurant where respectable people of his race can get a first-class meal. He invests his capital and, generally, he fails. Why? Because in the average Southern city the people who would eat that sort of a meal eat at home. Our opinion is, however, that the President did not need to surrender; at heart he is one with Hoke Smith and Vardaman. If the same man will open a lunch-room and furnish fried fish and bread, coffee and other ready cooked dishes at prices ranging from 5 to 15 cents, the large iaboring and floating colored population of the average Southern city will make him rich. Another cause of failure is, bleeding the business. Take again for example the average Southern city. A colored man opens a family grocery on one corner and a Syrian opens the same sort of a store on the opposite corner. THE WORLD'S ADVICE The New York World in an editorial advises Robert Bacon to remain on the ticket of the American Party as candidate for the United States Senate, and make a fight for the principle which he considers vital to the interests of the Republic; that is, the principle of universal military service. Now in the first place, the colored man has no time to loaf, his competitor is a merchant by heredity; the Syrian's ancestors were trading on the Mediterranean before the Pyramids were built. Suppose they are both successful and reach a business of $5,000 a year. How does the Syrian manage? Why just the same as he did when his profits were only $500 a year. He and his family still live in the back of the store; they keep the place open all day and half the night; his wife stands watch for him while he sleeps; next to nothing spent for food or clothes; at the end of ten years he is rich. The World shows that neither of the old party candidates is with Mr. Bacon in this. It points out that Mr. Calder is for a big navy but only a "sufficient" army, and that Mr. McCombs stands with the majority party in Congress. The editorial concludes with the following: Do we need to draw the other picture? Hardly. A fine house, horse and buggy—no, an automobile, good clothes, social entertaining and an occasional trip North—ending, most likely, in failure. We do not write this to blame the colored man who has thus failed. He made the money and he wanted a good time in preference to a good business, and he got it. But we do object to the blame being saddled on the race. But let us get back to the gold mine in Harlem. There are great opportunities in that section for colored men with some capital and intelligence. There are opportunities for combinations of colored men of small capital, if they also have intelligence. Mr. Bacon might find in the candidacy of William Travers Jerome in 1905 an example of an independent candidate defying both the great parties and winning a victory. Nor need he regard election as the only reward of a gallant struggle. A heavy minority vote for him in November would emphasize the issue. It would show the power behind the principle he represents; a power with which both parties hereafter would have to reckon. But we have already pointed out, these opportunities will not yield if they are gone after in a haphazard way. The field should be carefully studied. A business should be decided upon that one already knows or feels that he or she may become adapted to. You cannot carry on any business unless you yourself know the business or can easily and quickly learn it. To pay somebody else for knowing how to run your business is always disastrous. Observe the lines of business that are already successful in Harlem. Observe the grades of goods that are carried. This is important. For instance, it would be a waste of capital to try to sell goods in Harlem that are usually bought on Fifth Avenue. The secret is to learn to cater to the trade as well, if not better than your competitors. Of course, the World is anxious for Mr. Bacon, to run and defeat Mr. McCombs, the Democratic nominee, thus vindicating the principle of universal military service. We guess not. But catering to the existing trade of a locality does not mean that one should not use his best judgment and the judgment of experienced friends in deciding upon some new line of business that might prove successful. Even if Mr. Bacon had not already congratulated Mr. Calder upon his victory in the primaries and assured him of his support, it is inconceivable that The World would think he could be taken in by this gratuitous bit of advice, which even a twelve-year-old boy could see through. The main point is, business to-day is a science which must be studied. Studied from every angle. From the angle of the person in business, from the angle of the people to be served, from the angle of the locality, the market, the times, etc. Harlem offers the opportunities. One hundred colored men and women can establish successful business enterprises there if they will only go at it in a whole-hearted and intelligent way. Don't sleep over a gold mine! Don't stub your toe against a diamond and kick it out of the way! PRESIDENT WISSON ON THE "EIGHT-HOUR LAW." PRESIDENT WILSON ON THE "EIGHT-HOUR LAW" The telling blows that Mr. Hughes has been giving the "Eight-Hour Law" have compelled President Wilson to come to the defense of the Act. At Shadow Law on last Saturday the President spoke before a gathering of business men and others, and declared that the law had been enacted not because the railroad men demanded it but because it was right. The President's first defense of his measure was that it was necessary in order to avert the disaster of a general railroad strike; now he declares that the law was enacted because it was right. The whole speech is a fine example of the use of words to cloud an issue. For example, Mr. Wilson, in speaking of his consultation with the Brotherhood leaders and the railway presidents said: "And so I asked the privilege of consulting with them. Before I consulted with them I, of course, made myself acquainted with the points at controversy, and I learned that they were very simple indeed; that the men demanded an eight-hour day and that in order to make the eight-hour day work they demanded that the railroads pay them one-half more for overtime than they paid them for the time in the regular day, the men alleging that that was the only way in which they could obtain a genuine eight-hour day, by making the railroads pay more for the time beyond the eight hours than they paid for the time within the eight hours. In order to show what the President would have appear as being in his mind, when he speaks of an eight-hour day, we quote another paragraph from his speech: "We believe in the eight-hour day because a man does better work within eight hours than he does within a more extended day, and the whole theory of it, a theory which is sustained now by abundant experience, is that his efficiency is increased, his spirit in his work is improved, and the whole moral and physical vigor of the man is added to." Now, Mr. Wilson knows as well as anybody else that the principle which holds it to be injurious, uneconomical, even inhuman to compel or allow a man to work more than eight hours a day is a principle which cannot be applied to the work of operating trains. To work in factories, shops, mines, on buildings, at the trades, or wherever men can begin work and knock off with the whistle, the eight-hour principle applies; and in every enlightened state in the Union such a law has been passed and is enforced. Furthermore, Mr. Wilson knows better than anybody else that the railroad men were not seeking to have their labor limited to eight hours, nothing was farther from their wish. What they wanted and what they got was an eight-hour measure for their pay, so that all overtime would be at one and a half the regular wages. The "Eight-Hour Law" is nothing more than a law to increase the pay of certain railroad employees, and is virtually an incentive to the men to work overtime. What then becomes of all the President's "humane" talk about "a man does better work within eight hours," "his efficiency is increased," "this spirit in his work is improved," and "the whole moral and physical rigor of the man is added to"? If Mr. Wilson had really had in mind the physical and spiritual, instead of the financial welfare of the railroad men, he should have asked for a law limiting their work to eight hours a day, with a penalty added for its violation, other than double pay. It is clear that it was and is the intention of the Administration to use the "Eight-Hour Law" politically, but before Mr. Hughes gets through with it it will prove a boomerang to the Democratic party. SECTIONALISM IN THE CAMPAIGN. The Atlanta Journal in a lengthy editorial charges Mr. Hughes and the whole Republican party with "waving the red flag of sectionalism." Of course, the Atlanta Journal deeply deplores the inection of such an issue into the campaign, and severely condemns those who it declares to be guilty. It concludes its editorial by saying: The Republican committee seems to 1916, not the year 1866, and that long fought for the gray and the blue buried mon patriotism. Only shrieved minds would seek to revive such an issue, and o seek to thrust it into the present campaign. The answer to this is, the South itse the whole country believe that we are s absolutely nothing to the national politic alism. Take sectionalism away from the any National politics. Mr. Hughes and the Republican par issue, for sectionalism has been the main ministration. Under President Wilson, was possible, has been run for the speci even have Northern and Western Demo South drop sectionalism. The Republican committee seems to forget that this is the year 1916, not the year 1866, and that long ago the brave men who fought for the gray and the blue buried their differences in a common patriotism. Only shrieked minds and un-American hearts would seek to revive such an issue, and only a political dance would seek to thrust it into the present campaign. The answer to this is, the South itself is forever trying to make the whole country believe that we are still living in 1866. There is absolutely nothing to the national politics of the South but sectionalism. Take sectionalism away from the South and it wouldn't have any National politics. Mr. Hughes and the Republican party did not have to raise the issue, for sectionalism has been the main policy of the present Administration. Under President Wilson, the government, as far as was possible, has been run for the special benefit of the South. Not even have Northern and Western Democrats had a show. Let the South drop sectionalism. LINCOLN LEFT OUT. We have been reading a number of son's speech at the dedication of the Linville, Kentucky. Some papers rate the ad does contain high oratorical merit, but in fully you will see that it is a speech on Lincoln President Wilson lid not once mention Lincoln's immortality rests. Abraham Lincoln's immortality spills his heart and soul and mind that made him and the liberator of four million human becoln his character as the Great Emancipi his immortality and becomes not different great Presidents that could be named. Mr. Wilson's own smallness compel thing in Lincoln's life. We have been reading a number of comments on President Wilson's speech at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, at Hodgenville, Kentucky. Some papers rate the address as a masterpiece. It does contain high oratorical merit, but if you will read it over carefully you will see that it is a speech on Lincoln with Lincoln left out. President Wilson lid not once mention the one thing upon which Lincoln's immortality rests. Abraham Lincoln's immortality springs from those qualities of his heart and soul and mind that made him the destroyer of slavery, and the liberator of four million human beings. Take away from Lincoln his character as the Great Emancipator and he at once loses his immortality and becomes not different from a half dozen other great Presidents that could be named. Mr. Wilson's own smallness compelled him to omit the biggest thing in Lincoln's life. PHILADELPHIA, PA. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Several Negroes of this city, headed by Charles H. Brooks, a member, of the Citizens Club, are in attendance at the State League of Republican Clubs at York, Pa. Miss M. Inez Cassey, a member of an old Philadelphia family, died on Saturday at her home, 243 DeLancey street, and was buried on Tuesday at St. James the Less cemetery. Suffrage activities for the fall and winter among our Negro women and the completion of plans for attending the annual meeting of the State Federation of Pennsylvania Women, which will convene in this city October 25, are consulted, and suffrage interests are in full operation. John T Howe, a bookkeeper in the Treasury Department at Washington, D.C., who formerly lived in this city is quite ill in the Freedmen's Hospital, that city. William Bacon, a Negro who lives on South street near Broad, told a friend that he had killed a white man and wounded four others near Birmingham, Ala. He, in turn, told a detective, who arrested Bacon. A telegram sent to the Birmingham police by captain of detectives brought an answer sating that they had no record of such a crime, but they would investigate. In the meantime, Magistrate McLeary committed Bacon without bail for a further hearing. They will also look into his sanity. As a prelude to the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the Church of God and Saints of Christ, which begun last week, Bishop J. W VIEWS and REVIEWS Now, it might sound startling to say that there are colored men and women sleeping over a gold mine in Harlem, stubbing their toes against diamonds and kicking them out of the way; nevertheless it is true. There live in Harlem within a radius of a mile more than 50,000 colored people; this makes that section of the city the most unique Negro settlement in the country. It is, in fact, a city in itself. There are cities in the South with a total population of less than 50,000 where Negroes have built up successful establishments and do a business of thousands of dollars. If this can be done among a colored population scattered around the fringe of a Southern city, what are the limits to the possibilities in Harlem? Of course, the first excuse to be offered will be that the race will patronize Negro business enterprises. There may be a sh. inclination among some classes and in some localities, wh. ever, can be overcome; but, generally speaking, this not true. The race will and does patronize Negro business ses, conducted on a business basis. out of every ten colored men that fail in business blame the nature on the race. That is not fair. If the race was loyal to the last penny some of these men would be bound to fail anyhow. A certain percentage of white merchants fail every year. But the truth is, most of those who fail do so because they do not conduct business on a business basis. number of comments on President Wil- liam the Lincoln Memorial, at Hodgen- te the address as a masterpiece.

C. is in the returning from a visit to Mr. and M. M. McCall of New York --- Opening for These Who Want to Work in Silk Mill and Printers-May Secure Employment New in Wadeobero-Dra John P. Turner Will Receive Appliances. (Special to The New York Ann.) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—An important conference of directors, who met to transit business in the interest of the proposed model town, soon to be established in the South, was held in this city Wednesday and Thursday of last week, and the question of selecting a site for this unique industrial center, health and pleasure resort was one of the chief topics discussed. Although the directors decided some weeks ago, after an extensive trip through the South, to locate on one of the sea islands off the coast of South Carolina, the rivalry between Savannah, Charleston and Beaufort has been so keen, each wanting the town near its borders, that a final decision on the question of location has been deferred. The majority of directors, however, favor locating on an island situated near Charleston, and in all probabilities Charleston will win out. Arrangements are being made to secure workers for the silk mill and big printing plant, which will be the first business establishments opened. H. S. Dumba, secretary of the Cincinnati branch of the Y. M. C. A., has been delegated to select at once a competent young man who is to be sent to the Singleton Silk Mills at Wadesboro, N.C., for a course of instruction which will enable him to serve as an efficient superintendent of the Singleton Silk Mills to be conducted in the model community. Families, composed of father, mother and children, are also being brought from the country to Wadesboro and fitted for work in the silk mill to be operated in the Negro town. Workers Wanted at Once. Those desirous of becoming efficient hands in the silk mill or in printing are instructed to communicate with Dr. John P. Turner, who is in charge of the Eastern office at 1302 South Eighteenth street, Philadelphia. He will supply them with all necessary information. While learning to become proficient in printing or in the silk mills at Wadesboro, rent will be furnished families and the children will be sent to school. Fares will be advanced to Wadesboro if necessary. The Seaboard Air Line, one of the big railroads of the South, is anxious that the town be located on or near its line. B. L. Hammer, general development agent of the road, with offices at Norfolk, has been particularly active in his efforts to have the directors cooperate with the Seaboard Air Line. No Segregation in Project. It was brought to the attention of the directors that some members of the race labor under, the impression that the project savors of segregation. The directors wish it distinctly understood that they are not furthering any segregation scheme, but are promoting a project for the betterment of conditions among the masses in the South. It is their aim to establish a model town with a view to improving the living, health and economic conditions among Negroes, to promote thrift and efficiency and create more harmonious relations between the races. Such helpful conditions, it is believed, may be brought about by having a modern industrial community, modern homes, stores, schools and churches, farms, health resort, sanitarium and seaside resort. This project is to benefit the masses and not to solve the race problem. NEWS OF THE CHURCHES NEW YORK PRESBYTERY TO INSTALL DR. HYDER The installation of a pastor for St. James' Presbyterian Church, 137th street near Lenox avenue, New York City, marks a new epoch in Presbyterianism among colored people in New York City and State. This church has been placed upon a business basis financially, and has become self-supporting and independent. One hundred and twenty-four new members have been added to the membership officers and members of the church have co-operated with Dr. Hyder in the constructive work of the past and their unanimous call, which he accepts, is an indication and precursor to the constructive and aggressive evangelistic program which St. James has stimulated for the future. The new pastor succeeds such men as Dr. Henry Hinsland (carnett and the late Dr. Thompson, both of whom were regarded as moulders of thought and real leaders of the race. Dr. and Mrs. Hyder will leave the next week for a two weeks' vacation. While away he will deliver an address to the Women's Presbyterial Society (white) of Troy, N. Y., on "The Negro and Public Sentiment." Mrs. Hyder will speak on "What the Negro Is Doing For Himself in Harlem." On the last Sunday at the close of the morning sermon seven persons responded to the appeal and were received into the church.

(BY LUCIEN H. WHITE) "How Newtown Prepared" is the title of the vehicle by which Salem Tut Whitney, J. Homer Tutt, Blanche Thompson and the Smart Set Company hope to ride to favor with their patrons during the season of 1916-17. They ar at the Lafayette Theatre this week This play will probably serve to maintain their popularity, but it will add nothing to their reputation. The book is clumsily constructed and awkwardly expressed. There is no particularly striking musical number and there is decidedly too much dull dialogue for a play of its purported character. A number of old favorites are missing, both from the roll of principals and from the ensemble, and the newcomers, recruited or promoted to fill the vacancies, have much to do before they measure up to their predecessors. But Tutt Whitney is there, and he is a past master in the art of expressing droll comicality with an absence of visible effort. He is droll and amusing, and the muscles of his funny face were never in better working condition. George Washington Bullion hasn't as many opportunities as, in past seasons, but Whitney makes the most of what he has and does his usual excellent work. He has two songs, "You Worries Me" and "If I Could Make the Sun Stand Still." Neither will become the popular favorite or make as great a hit as last year's "Don't Do That to Me," but they are decidedly to be preferred to that rather objectionable effusion. As usual, J Homer Tutt serves as a foil to Tutt's comedy As Sam Cain Bullion's friend, he has a number of opportunities to "dress up" and display his many form in staggering creations of the sartorial art, including the uniform of an officer in the army, in which he makes a dashing and swaggering appearance. In his first appearance, with the song "A Study in Black and White," he is assisted by Carrie King and a bunch of pretty girls. He made a hit with his black velvet suit, but Carrie King had all the honors in singing. She has a good voice and, with proper care of the organ, will probably have a future. Tutt does a dance with Blanche Thompson, programmed as "The Zoo," a new dance, which offers nothing particularly striking, and again with Miss Thompson and company he sings "Turkey," of which little can be said. Miss Blanche Thompson appears this season as a Mexican señorita, although she is billed as Señora Flores, secret service agent. It will not add anything to the gaiety of nations, it is true, but it is hardly usual (on the stage, of course) for a married woman to act as Señora Flores acts. However, Miss Thompson is as charming and graceful as ever, and has all the subtlety required for the portrayal of the character allotted her. The one musical number which perhaps has most merit is her song, "My Sweet Hawaiian Home," and her voice shows considerable improvement. Among the new people are Estella Cash, Sweetie May, formerly of the team of Stringbeans & May, and Dave Liston. Miss Cash makes a charming bride when she sings "The Wedding of the Flower and the Bee," but a few minutes later she comes back and tells some boys—four, in fact—that "All I Want Is Plenty of Loving." Four girls also assist, and they have a time trying to keep the boys from giving Stella her wish Sweetie May, with assistance, sang a song reminiscent of her Stringbeans days, and Dave Liston made a stately though lazy, Indian chief. Hattie Akers is missing from the east Mattie Lewis has been promoted and she is making a strong effort to succeed to Miss Akers' laurels. She is clever and will probably succeed in time. As Moana Sweet, Bullion's ward, she was given a number of opportunities, and it is only fair to say that she was quite acceptable. She has not as yet the finish and case that characterized Miss Akers' work, but she evidences plenty of talent. Emma Jackson carries off her patriotic song very nicely and leads her company through an attractive drill. As Peggie Flipp, the newsboy, she was cute and sophisticated. Julian Costella as Samantha Harkfurst, the suffragette, in the first act, and as Said Pasha, the Turkish prince, in the second act, did some pleasing work. His female characterization was good, and his interpretation of the "Pasha's Dream," in which he did an unusual dance, won favor with the audience. Al Watts as Pedro Gomes, the Mexican spy, Tommy Hall as Elder Toots, the parson, Alonzo Fenderson as Licutenant Krupp, and Helen Clinton as Martha Bullion, Bullion's sister, all did pleasing work. Lee Marshall and O. D. Carter did a unique dock dance and the chorus sang with gusto and danced, with abandon. Clarence G. Wilson, musical director, had charge of the orchestra pit, and the Lafayette Ladies' Orchestra, with Marie Lucas playing trombone instead of piano, performed most creditably There have been some changes in the executive staff for this season, the personnel being as follows: T. L. Corwell, manager; H. D. Collins, business manager; Clarence G. Wilson, musical director; J. Homer Tutt, stage manager; Ora Dunlop, wardrobe mistress; William Watson, stage carpenter; Elmer Jenkins, property man. The costumes are new and fresh, to all appearances, the girls making a most attractive and pleasing picture; and the female members of the company are all good looking. But the scenery could have lots done to it to its advantage and to the enhancement of the work of the company. MUSIC NOTES. (BY LUCIEN H. WHITE) One of the most interesting announcements for the forthcoming season is embraced in the statement made, by J. Rosamond Johnson, superintendent of the Muskell School Settlement, 4-6 West 131st street, to the effect that the faculty of that institution will be increased by the addition of Sidney Woodward, the tenor Mr Woodward occupies a unique place among the singers of the race in this country. Possessed of a wonderful voice, enjoying extensive vogue on the concert stage, employed for five years as tenor soloist in one of the largest white churches in Boston, with the future promising almost unlimited possibilities, he gave up this career and went down into the Southland and for sixteen years gave his ability to musical missionary work among the youth of his race. In doing this he gave himself to a work that was sadly needed. With all its wealth of undeveloped musical talent, undeveloped because of the lack of qualified instructors, the Southland needed a musician as able and efficient as Mr. Woodward, but such a musician would have to take up the work as a labor of love For the untaught South, rich in musical talent and musical possibilities offering a fertile field for a master craftsman, at the same time was but an indifferent proposition from a financial standpoint. Such teachers as were there, doing a noble work in spite of meager musical equipment, commanded a mere pittance in the way of payment for their services, and the people, accustomed to that standard, were not to be convinced that a master deserved and should receive recompense in accordance with his ability. But this did not deter Mr. Woodward. His heart was in the work and he turned his back upon the alluring prospect which stretched before him in the North and went his way into the far South, where he labored for years developing crude but rich material into a finished product. Mr Woodward has done some splendid work. Charleston, S. C., offered the first opportunity, and here he labored for two years. Then the Land of Flowers beckoned, and for ten years he gave his best in connection with the development of the Florida Baptist Academy at Jacksonville, of which Nathaniel White. Collier was and is the president. Georgia next called to him, and he spent four years in Atlanta, two years at Clark University and two years at Atlanta University, contributing in no small degree to the expansion of the departments of music in these schools Prior to going South Mr. Woodward had had a notable career. For five years he was a student at the New England Conservatory, Boston, studying the voice under the late Mine. Edna Hall and B J. Lang, two of the most noted members of the faculty of that institution For five years he was the tenor of the quartet choir employed at the Second Congregational Church, Boston, of which the late Dr Arthur Little was pastor, the congregation of which was composed of Boston's wealthiest and most distinguished citizens. As foreign study and experience seems necessary to most musicians, Mr. Woodward spent two years in Europe, and after an examination before the Royal Conservatory, Dresden, Germany, he was awarded a certificate of proficiency. Later, making a continental concert tour, he sang with great success in all the principal cities of Germany, Russia, Holland, Belgium and the United Kingdom of Great Britain. During this tour he sang a number of times by direct command before European monarchs. It may be said that Mr. Woodward's success is attributable largely to the fact that to his natural equipment of talent there was added the most careful and faithful preparation. He did not stop after leaving the Conservatory, but continued always to be the student, constantly seeking for a richer and fuller development of his native ability. His singing has attracted the attention of the most critical musicians, and has, at the same time, afforded greatest pleasure to the unskilled layman. The late Mme. Lillian Nordica, herself one of the world's greatest singers, said of Mr. Woodward: "To-day I have heard Mr. Woodward sing. His voice is a true tenon, and there is nothing in the art beyond his capabilities." Mme. Emma Nevada (Palmer), the incomparable cantatrice, writing from her home, Greville Lodge, 33 Greville Road, Maida Vale, London, expressed herself by saying: "I have just heard Mr. Sidney Woodward sing, and his voice is one that must always give pleasure. It is a fine tenor, exceptionally sweet and very sympathetic, with sufficient power. The voice is well placed and he sings with great feeling and taste." When the Music School Settlement holds its formal opening on October 5. Mr. Woodward will sing, but he will begin his teaching duties on Monday previous. Prospective pupils can register for individual instruction at the school now. To-night, Thursday, September 28, an all-star concert is announced to be given by the usher board of Mt Olivet Baptist Church, 159 West 53d street, the Rev. W. P Hayes, pastor, at the church at 8.30 o'clock. The artists to appear are Miss Minnie Brown, soprano; Mme. Lulu Robinson-Jones, soprano; Mme. Daisy Tapley, contralto; Mme. Fannie Belle DeKnight, reader; and George Jones, Jr., baritone. A note from Frank E. Wallace states that the advance sale of tickets is very large, and that those desirous of securing good seats would act wisely by getting to the church at an early hour. A silver loving cup for the largest number of tickets sold over thirty indicates one reason why the sale has assumed such heroic proportions. JESSE YOUNG. VIOLINIST. Jesse C. Young, violinist, has just returned from a three months' engagement with the Eureka Quartet, at Paul Smith's Hotel, Adirondack Mountains.

At Harlem Sporting Club on last Friday night, before a very large crowd, Leo Johnson, the colored light-weight champion of the world, came back to himself and fought one of the best bouts of his career when he defeated Phil Bloom, the lighting Jew from Brooklyn, a boy who has a reputation as one of the best of the white light-weightes. Johnson simply toyed with him and completely smothered him with jabs and hard swings to the jaw. The colored boy's cleverness seemed to baffle Bloom so that he did not know how to hit Johnson at all. Johnson was the aggressor, carrying the fight to Bloom in every round. Taking the fight as a whole, it was all Johnson. Weights--Johnson, 132; Bloom, 133 George Basden was to meet Joe Berman in a special six-round bout, but as Berman is under the doctor's care, Kid Williams was substituted. He was MR. SIDNEY WOODWARD THE CELEBRATED CONCERT TENOR And Teacher of Voice Culture; member of Faculty at THE MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT, 6 West 131st Street Announcement Extraordinary THE MUSIC LOVER'S CLUB of the Martin-Smith Music School announces E.

At Hartem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue, on next Friday night, Lew Raymond, the matchmaker, has arranged a heavyweight battle for the fight fans. From all indications it will be the best heavyweight battle arranged since the ban was lifted. Rufus Cameron, the colored heavyweight of California, and Sailor Grande, who has fought several battles later, will meet in the star bout of the evening. Cameron is a stranger to the fight fans in the East, but the Western fight fans claimed him to be the best colored heavyweight before the public today. Cameron has been training Frank Moran for several years, and Moran will be in this contest on this night. He says Cameron will put the Sailor to sleep long before the finish. The second bout will be between Patsy Cline, the fighting Irishman, and Young Fulton, the toughest Jew fighter in the world. Jack White, the boy that is well known to all the followers of prize fights and a fighter who really knows how to fight, has started in hard training for a campaign that will carry him through the winter. I must say that whoever meets this hard-hitting light weight will surely have to step to stay ten rounds with him. White announces through these columns that he is open to meet any one in the world at 133 pounds or the lightweight limit. Polo A. C., 129th street and Park avenue—Bob Massey, the lightweight fighter of Harlem, fought Joe Volk a draw. Massey had to give away weight to his white opponent, but he took all that Volk could give and kept on boring in. At the end of the tenth round he was still fighting hard. The fight fans who witness a bout that Massey takes part in surely get plenty of action, as Massey is a fighter of the aggressive style. Weights—Massey, 131; Volk, 138. Olympic A. C., 125th street and Amsterdam avenue — On last Thursday evening, John Lester Johnson, who is fighting with great success, lately added another victim to his list when he clearly outpointed Jack Herrick the hard-hitting Irishman from the West Side. Johnson was too fast and clever for his white opponent. He had him bewildered with his lightning jabs in the face and on the jaw and had Herrick almost out on several occasions. Johnson left the ring without a mark. Sailor Grande was to have met Herrick, but as Johnson had beaten Grande twice he was substituted, and he showed the fight fans the reason why, as he fought the best battle of his career. Weights—Johnson, 187; Herrick, 179. Young Murphy, who has been fighting very hard in the four-round bouts, and a boy who is always coming, stopped Kid Frenchy in the second round. Weights—Murphy, 136; Frenchy, 134. Battling Holmes, who has been out of the game for some time with a bad finger, has placed himself under the management of Tommy Ryan of the Syracuse A. C, Syracuse, N. Y., for which place he leaves Wednesday. Holmes is a middleweight and packs a hard punch. Before he met with the accident which kept him out of the game so long he was defeating every one he met. Mr. Ryan knows a fighter when he sees one, because in Holmes he has one of the best men at his weight in the world, white or colored Holmes, is matched to meet Butch O'Hagan, the Albany middleweight, the latter part of the month. Vanderbilt A C. Brooklyn—On last Friday evening Amy Mack, the matchmaker of the club, staged one of the best ten-round bouts ever held in his club, and the bout drew the largest crowd that ever packed this club. K. O. Lon Williams, the Savannah, Ga. wizard, and the hardest hitting weltweight in the world, met Walter Mohr, the second Battling Nelson. Nelson always was noted as a fair fighter, but Mohr pays little attention to the rules laid down by the Boxing Commission about fouling. There seems to be no effort on the part of the referee where Mohr fights to stop him from butting his opponents or fouling them. Williams, who is a very clever fighter, did not try to retaliate when Mohr continued to foul him. In the third found Mohr hit Williams in the groin and this seemed to weaken the colored boy, but he was game and did not lose his aggressiveness at all. When he went to his dressing room his protector was bent from the blow Mohr had hit him below the belt. If Williams had not been a game boy he would have quit, but instead he showed the fight fans that he did not come over there to win on a foul, but to fight his way to victory, which he did in fine style. He left no doubt with the fans as to who had won. Williams had the fight all his way from the start. Ferribe, the manager of Williams, had to give up £25 because Williams did not make the required weight, being 1½ pounds over weight, and Mohr's manager would not give in. Vanderbilt A. C. Brooklyn—On last Monday, evening Nero Chink, the Cuban fighter, met Soldier Shaw in the star bout, and added another victim to his record. In Chink, Shaw met the toughest proposition he has been in the ring with, and the colored boy gave him the grandest lacing he ever received at the hands of any one. The Cuban Wonder just smothered him with punches, and at the end of the tenth round Shaw was a much battered boy. Weights—Chink, 158: Shaw, 163. --- The second ten-round bout brought together Charlie Smith, the pride of Brooklyn, and Young Billings of St. Paul, Minn, and this proved to be the best bout of the evening. Smith, who is a clever, aggressive fighter, carried the fight to his white opponent, and throughought the ten rounds it was difficult to choose who would be in the ring at the finish, because these boys fought so hard. Each took the lead at different times and kept the fight fans on their feet cheering all the time. A draw would have been the proper decision. Weights—Smith, 141: Billings, 142. The Commissioners of Boxing should look over the list of referees that are officiating at some of the local clubs and censure them about not seeing that the rules laid down by them are observed. I have attended several bouts lately and there seems to be no effort put forth by the referees at these different clubs to see that each fighter is not fouled and fights a clean battle, especially in these mixed bouts. The colored man is the one who gets the worst of these foul fights, as the white fighter knows that the referee will not disqualify him if he is fighting a colored fighter, regardless of what he does, and the white boy takes advantage of this. He butts and hits the colored boy below the belt, and when they clinch is where he does the most foul fighting. Our boys who are fighting around here, I am sorry to say, are too clean for the class of men they are meeting. The referee has little trouble in making them observe the rules laid down by the Boxing Commission. --- The colored fight fans should ignore reading the white papers on results of the mixed bouts and rally to the colored papers, especially THE NEW YORK AGE, because this paper presents nothing but facts Clermont A. C., Brooklyn—On last Monday night Manager Mullen staged two mixed bouts. The star bout was between Willie Langford, the colored middleweight, and Johnny (Kid) Alberts of Bawnene, N. J. Langford had the best of the fight up to the sixth round, when the colored man's hand game in contact with the white man's head and became useless. As the bell rang for the next round Langford notified the referee that he was unable to resume fighting, as he could not defend himself, so the referee awarded the fight to Alberts Weights—Langford, 168; Alberts, 171 NOTICE!

Olympic Field, 136th street and-Fifth avenue—The Royal Giants crossed bats with the home team; the Lincoln Giants, and, much to the surprise of the many fans that were present, won both games. The Royals played a great game in the field and, at the bat, outhitting and outfielding the Lincolns in both games. Santop, who was the star batsman of both games, led the onslaught on Redding, the Speed King. Pugh, the right fielder, is not in the best of condition, but he still has his eye on the ball, and he demonstrated this by hitting a home run in the fourth inning of the first game. Fielding honors went to Hewitt, the shortstop, who made some great stops and throws. Captain Earl made the greatest catch in the second game ever made on these grounds when he went back to the fence in deep cent and made a left-handed catch of a line drive from Hall's hat. The Lincoln Giants play D. S. C. baseball club and the Ironsides baseball club next Sunday. *** Lenox Oval, 145th street and Lenox avenue—The Penn, Red Caps baseball club added another victim to their long list of victories when Managers Sage Jordon and Ellen led their strong team to victory over the Signal Corps of the Penn. Service Department. The white boys, knowing the calibre of the team they had to play, took no chances and had some of the best semi-pro white players in the country in their lineup. The colored team did not seem to mind that, because they played their usual snappy game, and Captain Culver urging his charges on to victory. The Penn, team is now one of the best semi-pro teams in the East, white colored, and has a pitching staff equipped to any team in Edwards, Langford and Armstrong. With Culver playing hard and Bailey at third, Johnson atJackson catching, their infield is very strong, but second base is a little weak considering the above players: Edwards pitched one of the best games of his career and had the white boys at her mercy. Captain Culver was all over the field, making his usual grand stops and throws. This team as it is now would be a hard one for the Lincoln Game to defeat. Penn. Red Caps and the Monarch 45 Lodge of Elks play the third game of their series on Thursday afternoon, September 28 Game day. CHAPTER 669.
