VOL. XXX No. 2. FIGHT AGAINST RAISED RENTS HOLD MEETINGS TO PROTEST White Residents of Block Also Join in Fight, Making Strong Protest Against Being Forced to Move, Not Objecting to Negro Neighbors. TO MEET AT P. S. 89 OCT. 5 Mass-Meeting to be Held Thursday Night, with Addresses from Member of Society for the Reduction of Rents and from White Tenants of Block—Civic Improvement League Assisting. Residents of the block on West 143d street, between Eighth and Seventh avenues, who are up in arms because of 'the abnormal increase in rentals for houses in that block recently opened to colored tenants, as' told in last week's issue of THE ACE, are determined to fight to the last ditch to prevent real estate agents from continuing this unjust and unfair procedure. A Neighborhood Association has been organized and meetings are being held not only to create sentiment, but also that funds may be raised to finance a campaign against the extortionate rentals which are being forced upon them by both colored and white agents. Last Monday night a meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Winnie Jones, 237 West 143d street. Officers of the association have been chosen, as follows: Oliver J. Jenkins, 241 West 143d street, president; H. G. Richardson, 255 West 143d street, treasurer; M. D. Robinson, 244 West 143d street, secretary. As stated in last week's Act, 109 names were signed to a petition of protest, and that protest has been sent to the owners of property in that block, to real estate agents and to the newspapers. In addition, white tenants in that block, objecting to being forced to move to make the house more accessible to the public, are petitioning among themselves for signatures, in which they are requesting the owners of the houses in which they live to permit them to continue as tenants. They declare in their petition that they consider it unfair to be forced to move when they have no objection to living in adjacent houses to their colored neighbors. They declare also that if any white tenants can move others will be found to take their places. To Hold Mass Meeting. The Neighborhood Association, in furtherance of its campaign, has arranged to hold a monster mass meeting on Thursday evening, October 5, at P. S. 89, 135th street and Lenox avenue, when addresses will be made by men and women thoroughly familiar with the conditions. Several of the white residents of the 143d street block will be present and speak, and invitations have been extended to Benjamin P. Marsh, of the Society for the Reduction of Rents, and Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age. It is probable also that some of the real estate agents will be given a chance to present their side of the matter. The Negro Civic Improvement League is co-operating with the Neighborhood Association in this campaign and is taking an active part in arranging for this meeting. William McNichols has been especially active in securing valuable information and data concerning the excessive raise in rants and he has secured a number of receipts from white tenants showing the difference between what they were paying and what the colored tenants are required to pay. Officers of the Civic Improvement League are Enoch W. Newton, president, Dan Aguard, secretary. Knowlea Entera a Denial. Several Negro real estate agents were mentioned who were alleged to be responsible for this raise in rents, and it was stated that any explanation from them would be gladly published. The only statement received to date has been sent in by C. A. Knowles & Co., 161 West 130th street, through Charles A. Knowles, who denies strongly that his firm is in any way connected with the raising of rents in the 143d street block, Mr. Knowles' statement is in the shape of a copy of letter sent to John T. Clarke of the National Urban League, who, as head of the Housing Bureau of that organization, was instrumental in the circulation of the petition of protest from tenants. The letter from Mr. Knowles is in part as follows: I have your letter, with protest understood by colored tenants, and I know of no reason why you should be asked to send me a copy of such a protest, since I am not directly interested in any properties in that violatl; I am, however, very glad to have an opportunity of writing on conditions such as those embodied in the protest. The records of my office for the past five years will not show at any one time wherein I have raised the rents on any property which came into my hands, but dozens of instances wherein I have decreased rents which I thought were not proportionately made. Justice to the property owners, (Continued on page seven) TAXES FOR WHITES (Special to THE NEW YORK ASR.) ATLANTA, Ga.—More than four hundred thousand dollars of the money collected from all the white people of the state, colored as well, were appropriated by the Georgia legislature which recently closed for the use of white institutions in the state, with no appropriation that will benefit the Negro. With more than a million Negroes in the state, the only institution for Negroes which is recognized by the state is the Georgia State College for Negroes at Savannah, and the $8,000 which was annually appropriated for that school originally came from the Federal land script fund, and was the sum taken from Atlanta University because white members of the faculty of that school refused to take their children out of classes with the Negro students. So that it is only what is appropriated in excess of $8,000 for the Savannah school that comes from the state treasury. Some of the items included in recent appropriations for white institutions are: Georgia Normal College, Valdosta, $50,000; Georgia Normal and Industrial College, Milledgeville, $50,000; Occupation Confederate Cemetery, $500; Milledgeville, Milledgeville, $1,400; State Normal School, White, $100,000; State Sanitarium, Milledgeville, $200,000; Georgia Training School for Girls, $12,500; total, $141,400. Among the colored citizens of Atlanta who have expressed themselves in regard to the unfair and unequal distribution of the people's taxes for public use, Dr. H. R. Butler, one of the pioneer Negro physicians, a large property owner and taxpayer, commented as follows: "If the State really meant to do the square things by its colored citizens it would have and support an agricultural school in each of the eleven Congressional districts and a home for the el-slaves at some central-and healthy place in the State. It is not a commendable sight to Georgia and the other Southern States to have these poor old ex-slaves who have spent their beat days laboring for their old masters and making crops to feed the armies of the South. If the Confederate soldiers are entitled to a home supported by the.State, I hold the ex-slave who worked and fed the Confederate soldiers and helped to a home supported by the State. "It is never wrong to do right, but in some things it is hard to find the man who is willing to take the responsibility upon himself to dare to do the right. Thus it is in this case; where is the member of the Legislature who (with God and himself) will dare to take up this matter and drive it through because it is right?" YORK, PA, TO BEGIN RACE COMMUNITY WORK York, Pa.—The establishment of a community house for work among colored people in this city was assured when the property of the Wanner estate located on the north side of Faith Presbyterian Church on North Duke street was purchased for that purpose, and passed into the hands of a joint committee of white and colored people of this city under whose auspices it will be conducted. The price paid for the property was $5,000 and it is estimated that $2,000 more will have to be added to the purchase price to renovate the building and prepare it for the use it is intended. On the second floor a manse for the pastor of Faith Presbyterian Church will be established, while the basement and first floor will be used for the community work. This work will be accomplished entirely apart from the church. Here a free reading room will be established, a small gymnasium, free dispensary for children and aged persons, evening classes in domestic science, an employment bureau, lectures will be held, and other beneficial features. Samuel Small, Sr., who is one of the largest contributors toward the project, has secured the service of J. A. Dempwolf, architect, to estimate the necessary improvements. When the Y, M, C, A. work is once started that department will be placed under the direction of the Rev. G. Edward Williams, the pastor of Faith Presbyterian Church, while a residence of Baltimore, had three years' experience as a Y. M. C. A. secretary. The establishment of this community house has been under consideration for some time past, and the members of the committee have been negotiating for the property during the past month. Following is a list of the joint committee which has the work in charge as well as its officers: White citizens: The Rev. John E. Tuttle, the Rev. W, J. Oliver, H. C. Niles, the Rev. A, R. Taylor, A. B. Farquhar, the Rev. M. E. Swartz, the Rev. E. Baker, the Rev. Samuel H. Stein, Dr. James A. Dale, the Rev. A. Long. W. J. Fisher, the Rev. Clinton E. Walter, C. H. Ehrenfeld. Colored citizens: John Williams, G. O. Jones, Anderson Taylor, Dr. G. W. Bowles, Wilson Harr, G. H. Chapman, Milton Gibson, the Rev. G. W. Bell, John A. Jones, the Rev. W. Edward Williams, W. H. Robinson, G. L. Reid, Glen Goodridge, Basil Biggs, the Rev. J. A. L. Watkins, A. L. Brickhouse, Joshua Smith and Thomas Pennington. Officers of committee: Dr. G. W. Bowles, chairman; the Rev. W. Edward Williams, financial agent and chairman ex-officio; G. I. Reid, secretary; Dr. James A. Dale, treasurer. BUSINESS MEN GIVE $28 TO MEMORIAL FUND The Colored Men's Business League of New York City, of which R. E. Nicholas is president, has given $28 to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. Dr. E. P. Roberts, treasurer of the local committee, received this week a check for this amount subscribed. Most of the money was from colored business men located in Carlem. $ TWO LETTERS ON NEGRO EXODUS FROM SOUTH TWO IRON-CLAD ORDINANCES Lawyer Analyses Hard and Unjust Ordinances, Adopted by City Commissioners, Which Would Prevent the Idle and Unemployed Class of Negroes from Leaving City to Secure Work. (Special to THE NEW YORK ADE.) MONTGOMERY, Ala.—As evidencing the fact that free speech is not wholly a lost art in the South, but that even truth gets a hearing sometimes, the Montgomery Advertiser carried on its editorial page the following article, written by one of the most distinguished lawyers of the State of Alabama, and for a number of years a member of the official governing body of the American Bar Association. .THE LABOR ORDINANCES. Editor The Advertiser: In your issue of the 20th instant there was published two ordinances adopted by two of our city Commissioners on the preceding day, which you well term "iron-clad ordinances," for they are so hard and indefensible on principle and unjust in purpose that I ask a brief space to enter a protest against them in as public a manner. These ordinances declare it a crime, punishable by a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment not exceeding six months, or by both fine and imprisonment, for a person to persuade or influence "any laborer or other person to leave the city" of Montgomery for the purpose of being employed at any other place as a laborer." Before commenting on these remarkable ordinances, as remarkable for what they do not contain as for what they do, let me note that we now have a stringent State statute against enticing away a laborer or servant, "who is contracted in writing to serve such other person," which certainly must commend itself to every decent person, for one who is blind to the proprieties of life and so base as to endeavor to entice away the servant of another should have his eyes opened by the law. None to Escape Dragnet. 5. As the evidence goes back consideration, however, contains no indication that the person to be employed must be under contract, verbal or written, to serve another, must conclude that they are at most those who (continued on page five) WHIPPED TO DEATH ON BURLESON PLANTATION Burleson, one of the most influential members of President Wilson's cabinet, is the owner of a plantation on which Negro laborers receive most inhuman treatment, was brought to the attention of United States Senate by Sachem Sherman. In another charged and had placed in the official records that an inhuman overseer on Burleson's plantation beat a Negro hand to death with a blacksnake whip. Senator Sherman declared that the overseer, though tried, was acquitted, and that Burleson, as Postmaster General, appointed the man postmaster at Longview, Texas, over the protests of the Democratic congressman from that district. Commenting editorially on this fact, the New York American and Journal, Wm. R. Heart's morning paper, said: 'It seems almost inconceivable that a convict slave plantation owner should be at the same time a member of the Catnet of the President of the United States. But Senator Sherman left no room for doubt when he took the floor of the Senate to expose and exorcate Burleson. No wonder the Democratic Senators sat mute. The inhumanities and detestable cruelties practiced upon these Negro convict slave plantations are a disgrace to a civilized people. Senator Sherman charged and read the official records to prove that an inhuman overancer on Burleson's convict labor plantation boat one of the poor wretches to death with a blackanake whip: that he was tried and acquitted—the victim being a black; and that subsequently after Mr. Wilson had made him Postmaster-General, actually appointed this man postmaster at Longview, Texas—over the protest, we are glad to say—of the Democratic Representative from that district. Mr. Burleson is now campaigning in company with Samuel Gompers for Mr. Wilson. We assume that a reasonable fear of deconct public opinion will lead Mr. Wilson to see to it that Mr. Burleson withdraws from the combination. The spectacle of the head of the American Federation of Labor and the owner of a convict slave labor plantation speaking from the same platform in support of the same candidate is apt to excite anything but respect for the candidate himself. Of course, Mr. Wilson knew that Burleson was a convict slave labor exploit when he selected him to be a member of the Cabinet, but now that the rest of the country has found it out, Mr. Wilson ought to keep Burleson out of sight for two months at least. And we think Samuel Gompers will heartily agree with this advice. His enemies have accused Sam Gompers of being everything but a fool. SMITH-LEVER WORKERS END SUMMER MISSIONS (Special to The Times Army) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE - M.A. - T. M. Campbell, district demonstration agent for the Smith-Lever Need, has just returned to Tuskegee from a seven weeks' tour of teaching farmers. Two crews of Negro workers were in the field this summer, one working in East Alabama and the other in West. There are sixteen workers in all. The agents traveled for the most part in couples. The man taught the farmers and their sons; the woman, the farmers' wives and daughters. The farmers were taught how to diversify crops how to use fertilizer on cotton, "corn" and treatment of live stock," "cotton" growing under boll weevil conditions and some half-dozen additional subjects most practical to the man on the land. The Women and girls were given lessons in cooking, housekeeping, care of children, all subjects of practical and immediate use to the woman on the farm. Very few of the Southern States have given the Negro a greater share in both the agencies and training from the Smith-Lever Fund. Tuskegee is probably the only Southern State in which the work is defining organized and prosecuted. In two years the colored agency has grown from two or three to sixteen workers. The own and use three automobiles in the work, all kinds of charts on health and farming, on child welfare, lantana guides, canning outfits, fireless cookers indeed, practically everything needed to bring home to the farmer concord lessons in agriculture. The two Negro headquarters are Normal, Ala, and Tuskegee Institute. T. M. Campbell, who is head of the agents, has office at Tuskegee Institute. P. H. Parks, whose work primarily among Negro boys, training corn clubs has his own office in Tuskegee. Ala, the Smith-Lever Fund, Auburn, Ala, for distribution. The Auburn College granted the colored耕户 a fair share of the fund and gave them carte blanche to go ahead with agriculture. Tuskegee gives rooms in the Bankhank Agricultural Building and in the in furniture room, board and part of library of some of the workers. "It is a wonderful work," said Mr. Campbell. "I never ask people so eager to learn. They are keen to let us go, Best of all, they begin to see what they have missed." In many places so eager are the Negro farmers to learn that they wish the agents to remain among them. In several counties they formulated a petition to the United States government to grant such an award. The petition was signed by both men and colored people. The sponsored people of the county, at the request of their secretes, embarked on the petition: To Mr. T. M. Campbell. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Dear Sir—We, the undersigned citizen of the county, Ala., believing that the services provided by demonstrator for the colored people county are much needed, judging from the effect of the extension school work recently held by Mr. M. B. Ivy and Miss J. Juanita Coleman, we hereby pray and petition you and the Agricultural Department to appoint an agent to work among the colored people on their farms and gardens. In connection with the movement, the probate judge of Pike county wrote Mr. Ivy, the agent who has been teaching in that county, as follows: A. C. Edmonson, Probate Judge, Troy, Ala., Aug. 3, 1916. Mr. Ivy, Union Springs, Ala. Dear Sr:— I have your letter of the 31st of July. I approve and endorse all that you have done among the colored people of this State. We are sorely in need of this work, not only in Pike county but in all the counties of the State. What helps the colored man helps the white man, views are very broad as to education and opposition among the people, and if more of this could be done our interest would be enhanced. I will take pleasure in taking this up with the Commissioners' Court when it meets, which will not be until the third Monday in October. Our colored population of Pike county are of a high standard, and we are willing to learn and willing to be taught a higher standard of agricultural development. The agents themselves are doing all in their power to meet the demands. In many cases where their time is out they remain and help the farmers in road building, in plowing, in catching the weevil. During the past summer they spent two weeks prussing special studies at the Tuskegee Institute summer school in preparation for the work. They study swine raising, poultry raising, road building and terracing, handicrafts, canning, veterinary science and many other courses needed for the labor in the field.

Hayward of Public Service Commission Marched from 39th Street to Harlem With New Flage Flying. With the streets lined by cheering hosts, mostly whites, the 15th Infantry, the Negro regiment which is the latest addition to the National Guard of the State of New York, marched last Sunday morning from Columbus Circle, where it had detrained from the subway, to the Union League Club, 39th and Fifth avenue, and received from the hands of Governor Charles S. Whitman the stand of colors which has been presented to the regiment by the members of the Union League Club. Ten companies were in line, with a total of nearly nine hundred men, and the column was headed by the regimental band of sixty-five musicians under command of Chief Musician Edw. E. Thompson. To its martial strains the men of the Fifteen swung from 42d street into Fifth avenue with the precision of veterans. A salvo of apportioned officers, which are colored, who lined the sidewalks and had congregated at the reviewing stand which had been erected in front of the club house, greeted the new soldiers of New York State. Col. William Hayward, of the Public Service Commission, is in command of the regiment, and it is largely through his enthusiasm and energy that the remarkable achievement of the regiment in mustering and mobilizing in record time, has been made. In little more than three months the regiment has been recruited to its present strength, and a sufficient number of applicants to complete the enrollment are enrolled already. The Colonel's Staff. Col. Hayward rode at the head of the regiment, with his staff, composed of the following officers: Lieutenant-Colonel Lorillard Spencer, Major Morris, Captain Bert A. Williams, regimental adjutant, Captain Hinton, Lieutenant Season of the Massachusetts Infantry, volunteer aide to Colonel Hayward, Regimental Sergeant Major Coles. At the Union League Club reviewing stand, Governor Whitman awaited the arrival of the regiment, and on the stand with him were Major F. L. Hoppin, acting military secretary; Adjutant General Louis W. Stotesbury, Major General Daniel Appleton, Captain Gouverneur Townsend, Major Charles E. Warren, Genghaf Oliver B. Bridgman and Hon. Charles W. Anderson. Meaching the reviewing stand, the regiment presented arms. After the regiment arrived and handed over to the regimental color sergeants and color guard the stand in colors a United States flag and a New York State flag, which is the regimental flag. The colors were received by Color Sergeants Homer C. Butler and Harry Leonard, the color guard being Sergeants Harry Trot tand Ira C. Aldrich. The Union League Club, in presenting this stand of colors to the first regiment of Negro soldiers ever mustered into the New York National Guard, is maintaining its civil war traditions. It was this club which recruited and WILLCOX NAMES AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE Chairman Willcox has appointed a Colored Advisory Committee which is to aid the National Committee in the work among colored voters in the states which are attached to the New York Headquarters.

Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, owner of the largest fish and oyster business in Jacksonville, and president of the successful Negro bank conducted by Anderson, Tucker & Co, in this city. Prior to the big fire here in 1901, Anderson was a bootleack, ice peddler and peanut dealer at Pablo Beach. In the winter he sold fish and oysters and attended a night school. On September 22, 1901, after the fire, he opened a fish and oyster house at 132 Broad street, and has been there ever since. He celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of his fish and oyster business on Friday, September 22, 1916, and he was greeted by hosts of friends, white and colored, with best wishes for continued success. Has Brought Colored Business Men Together in Organization for Their Mutual Good and is Bringing About Cooperation in Enterprises. Association Has Improved Economic Conditions and Is Important Factor in Educating People to Realize Importance of Patronizing Business Places Conducted by Members of the Race. The New York Colored Business Men's Association is the result of the peculiar problems which have to be faced by the colored business men in New York City, and followed with suggestion made by J. C. Thomas, undertaker; John T. Clark of the National Urban League, and Fred R. Moore of The Age, that Negro business men get together for their own benefit. The three mentioned named a call for a meeting that was held at Thomas' Hall, 89 West 130th Street May 19, 1915, which meeting was the genesis of the business men's association, the organization being perfected July 26, 1915. Organized primarily for the purpose of devising plans by which the patronage of the race could be attracted to race merchants to a larger degree than obtained at that time, the association also served as a means for bringing together in meetings the men engaged in business, the changing of ideas and devising of plans resulting in benefit to all. communication, a spirit of more personal age that will encourage more and better colored business enterprises, and to protect their interests, both legally and financially." It is also provided that members of the organization must be engaged in some commercial activity in some definite place. However, it is also provided, that any other person may become a member by unanimous consent of members present. Factor for Development... There has probably been no one factor in the life of the race in this city which has contributed more to a development of race pride and race getting-together than this organization, and in the past, few months definite and tangible results of its influence have been seen. The membership by no means is as large as it ought to be, but it represents a live, progressive element of race merchants, and it is this fact which makes possible the bringing about of satisfactory results. Much of this achievement is due to the enthusiasm of its officers, R. Nicholas, the haberdasher, at 70 West 135th street, has been president of the body since its organization, and he has been ably seconded by the trained and experienced worker, John T. Clark, industrial secretary of the National Urban League. Meetings are held regularly on the second and fourth Monday nights in each month, the headquarters of the organization being at 162 West 132nd street. Interest in the association is on the increase, much of this being due to the series of articles on business and trade conditions which have appeared during the past months in the columns of The Age. New members are received at nearly every meeting, and the ranks of the body are gradually swelling. At present a field secretary is employed by the association whose duty it is to keep in touch with the members that their interest might not wane, to secure new members, to assist in collection of dues, and to edit the official publication of the body. Michael Jones, dealer in calendars, is filling this position at present and the states that a number of new members are to be added at the next meeting of the association. Every Negro business man in Greater New York, but especially in Manhattan and Brooklyn, should be connected with this organization, and the present officers are projecting plans by which a campaign of business education will reach all those not already in sympathy with the work of the body. In connection with this idea, for the business meeting to be held Monday evening, October 9, invitations are to be extended to business men and women not members, and for their entertainment and enjoyment, a program of music will be furnished and a collation served. At the same time the serious side of the organization will be forcibly presented in addresses by various members and an opportunity for all to join in the work of the churches of the city allowed their doors to the assoc- sion for business meetings at the object and intention of the institution are made plain to the attendance. At St. Marks cemetery to- October 5, a representation of association will speak, and on saturday, October 26, the program of the Laceum of St. Church, G. Abbey, president, will be presented the association. At these meet- every effort will be made not to interest, business men of the the organization, but also to the purchasing element to the merchants wherever the suggestions for the organization of business enterprises been considered, and it is certain a greater degree of race unity result from the work being ac- cquired by the New York Colored Business Men's Association. The present officers of the association are: R. E. Nicholas, president; J. T. Clark, secretary; Dr. J. Anderson of the Arkansas Pharmacy, treasurer. Executive committee: C. A. Simm, chairman; R. E. Niclas, assistant; T. Clark, Dr. J. Anderson, M. Jones, I. N. Brathwaite and Chas. DeVan. The roll of members at present include: J. T. Anderson, Dr. J. Anderson, J. H. Anderson, C. W. Anderson, E. T. Ashley, A. G. Brainill, W. H. Burns, I. N. Brathwaite, C. Bush, R. J. Curr, J. T. Chas, DeVan, R. J. Purhurt, T. A. Hebbons, Wm. H. Hoover, Isaac Irvis, Lucus Jones, S. R. Quillet, M. Jones, Charles Harold Birnson, R. S. Morgan, R. J. Moore, Edw. Manning, E. Nicholas, C. Sinus, T. Thun, O. W. Thompson, P. M. Thorne, A. W Warren, J. Weaver, Percy Brown, W. W. Greenough, N. H. Orsan, Mr. Quinn, Arthur Reid, Mr. Pabb, Charles Thorpe, Barron Wilkins, J. M. Green and J. H. Davis. President Nicholas Talks. The president, R. E. N. Nicholas, was hired by a representative of The Age to make a statement concerning the object and work of the association, in response he said. The New York Colored Business Society's Association was organized to bring together all colored persons on board in commercial pursuits in New York City that they might study economic conditions and improve their facilities for serving the public; to conduct a campaign of education among the people showing them the way of patronizing business places; to control by members of the race; to establish a fund for legal education; to encourage co-operative hiring and co-operative advertising. The work of the association is done through the following committees: membership, program and administration, a field secretary. The program Committee makes all documents for: public meetings, are held in churches, on the and effect, public place, with speakers on the sub- and able speakers on the sub- pavement. The Publicity committee oversees the publicity campaigning articles to the various organizations assisting the editor of The International Outlook, which is the official organ of the association in preparing articles for the same, and managing on-operative advertising campaign. The duties of the fold secretary is to increase the membership of the Association, keep in touch with the members, collect data for and edit the Commercial Outlook. The association has accomplished good since its advent in Harlem, it has brought about a race consciousness such as has never existed before, making business and professional man the necessity of working the example by patronizing them, other, and thereby improving our economic condition by returning some of the dollars to the race which they either get from them directly, or by making capital of the influence they are supposed to have giving them. The professional and business man has been made to realize that he could not hope to get all and give nothing in return, but that ultimate success as a people depends upon inclusion and ability to co-operate. This propaganda has caused to be considered in every individual a feeling of responsibility for the future success or failure of the race. The Association has secured and had published in The New York Age and THE EAST INDIA MAIR GROWER ... The Commission, Council, also will endeavor to make a difference between the number of colored persons employed by white farms and the number employed by colored. This information has not far most positively, why the Negro should patronize his own business place. The organization has caused the ministers of the churches to realize their responsibility in this respect, and they have thrown open their doors to us and are talking race patronage and race co-operation to the Negro. The Association is fighting the battle of every colored business person, and needs the assistance of all of them.

Read this brief account of how Governor Whitman and his associates restored your State Government from a condition of demoralization in methods of handling State finances to a basis of businesslike, pay-as-you-go efficiency: Governor Whitman entered upon the duties of his office with a clear understanding of the chaotic condition of State finances the Governor vetoed bills amounting to more than two million five hundred thousand dollars! He realized that obsolete methods were still in effect in this important branch of the government in spite of the enormous increase in the volume and in the complexity of the transactions involved. In his inaugural address he strongly urged the necessity for reform and the adoption of the best efficiency methods in administration. The first examination made by the new administration for the purpose of preparing the usual appropriation bills showed that four years of Democratic misrule had depleted the treasury of nearly its whole cash balance and had also failed to provide for at least TEN MILLION DOLLARS of the appropriation needs of the then fiscal year. This crisis demonstrated the urgent need of beginning the reforms advocated as soon as practicable. Public hearings were held for an analysis of the appropriation bills submitted to the Governor by the first Legislature of his administration. As a result of these public hearings and a careful analysis of all bills submitted.

As his second step in State finance reform Governor Whitman Began in November 1915, the preparation of a tentative BUDGET, in which all the estimates were analyzed and classified in detail. This budget was submitted to the Legislature January 5th with a message devoted exclusively to State finances in which a large number of definite proposals and constructive suggestions for reform were made. The Legislature accepted the Governor's financial program in all those features which it deemed could properly be put into operation the first year. The scientifically classified budget passed by the Legislature required between six and seven hundred pages and included thousands of items which gave the purposes of expenditure in the most minute detail. Governor Whitman's record in finance reform is remarkable because while most movements for reforming financial methods require a campaign of several years, as a result of the action of the Legislature of 1916 a major portion of the Governor's plans for reform are now actually in operation. --- guest of her brother, W.

The league, by giving a substantial subscription to Tuskegee Institute, could not have more fittingly paid honor to the memory of Booker T. Washington or chosen a better method to show the local public its sincere appreciation for loyal support in the past. Let Negroes in New York keep up the good work started in the early fall by the Southern Beneficial League. The subscription books are still open and all should subscribe $1 or more. THE FIFTEENTH. New York's colored regiment, the Fifteenth, marched down Fifth Avenue to the Union League Club last Sunday morning, where it was presented with the regimental colors and standards by Governor Whitman. The Governor, in his speech to the men, spoke of the proud record of Negro soldiers in the armies of the United States. The Governor spoke truly. The colored Americans' record from the Boston massacre down to Carriazal is one to be proud of. The whole record stands out bright and clean, unstained by a single traitorous act. It is a record that silences even the tongues of our enemies. Yet, in spite of this record, in spite of the heroic bravery of the Tenth only a few days ago at Carrizal, a Democratic, Negrohating Congress refused to provide for a single colored regiment in the new army bill, and a prejudiced President refused to ask it to do so. Governor Whitman has given the colored citizens of New York representation in the National Guard, and a splendid regiment is the result. The men made a fine showing on Sunday and received many compliments on their soldierly appearance. Col. Hayward and his officers deserve much credit for what they have accomplished in so short a time. And special mention must be made of Chief Musician Thompson and his band. The Age extends to Col. Hayward, his officers and the men, its congratulations, and predicts that it won't be long before the Fifteenth will be the crack regiment of New York: We urge upon able-bodied young men to enlist, and upon those young men who have the ability that they qualify themselves to become officers. A BOUT IN THREE ROUNDS Jeremiah A. O'Leary, president of the American Truth Society, led off at President Wilson with a telegram which, in part, read as follows: "Again we greet you with a popular disapproval of your pro-British policies, last year from the Twenty-third New York Congressional District, and now from your own State and from the voters of your own party. Senator Martine won because the voters of New Jersey do not want any truckling to the Brit- VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR WHAT HUGHES WOULD HAVE DONE. The Democrats seem to feel that they have stumped Mr. Hughes when they ask him what he would have done to solve the problems to which President Wilson has worked out a false answer. The New York Times follows this line when in an editorial on the Mexican situation it says: We do not derive from Mr. Hughes's speeches the slightest idea of what he thinks he would have done if the grave problems arising from the involved Mexican situation had been presented to him for solution. He would have protected American life and property, he declares. How? By making war on Mexico? If so, why not say so plainly? Mr. Hughes is under no obligation, political, legal or moral, to tell what he would have done. It is President Wilson's Mexican policy that is on trial, not Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hughes is doing all that can be demanded of him when he tells what President Wilson should not have done. A man might steal a loaf of bread and plead that he was hungry. But even the plea of hunger does not give him the right to demand that his accuser answer the question, "What would you have done?" There are several things the hungry man might have done. He might have sought work or begged or applied to an institution of charity; the one thing that he ought not have done stands out clear and unquestioned, and that is what he did do, steal the loaf of bread. But Mr. Hughes has told what he would have done. He declares that he would have protected American life and property. And such a declaration from a man like Mr. Hughes is sufficient. To ask him "How?" is worse than silly. Mr. Hughes would have taken whatever steps that might have been necessary to protect American life and property. To ask him to tell what steps would have been necessary is absurd. It would be just about as sensible to ask a historian, "What would have happened in Europe, 1769 to 1821, if Napoleon Bonaparte had not been born?" The fact before the country is that President Wilson has failed to protect American life and property both in Mexico and in United States territory along the border. What steps Mr. Hughes might have taken to do what President Wilson has failed to do is entirely apart from the issue. The question, "What would Hughes have done?" is asked either by tricksters or fools. THE "SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION QUESTION" AGAIN. Last week down in Montgomery, Alabama, the city commissioners adopted an ordinance which they hope will stem the tide of colored laborers leaving the city and prevent agents from other localities coming to Montgomery for the purpose of carrying away these laborers. The first section of the ordinance reads as follows: Section 1. Any person who entitles, or persuades or influences or attempts to entice, persuade or influence any laborer or other person to leave the city of Montgomery for the purpose of being employed at any other place as a laborer, must on conviction be fined not less than one nor more than one hundred dollars, or may be sentenced to hard labor for the city for not more than six months, one or both in the discretion of the court. It is plain that the practical effect of such an ordinance will be to place the colored laborers of Montgomery and vicinity in a condition of peonage. There may be hundreds of colored laborers unable to get work in the Alabama capital, yet they are to be prohibited by law from going elsewhere for employment. The city commissioners of Montgomery are on the wrong tack. They are making the usual mistake made by Southern communities whenever they undertake to deal with vital questions affecting the Negro; in that they are seeking to control a condition by enacting questionable laws rather than seeking to remedy it by going to the bottom of the facts and facing the truth. However, the Macon Daily Telegraph, in an editorial of more than a half column in length on this question, goes to the root of the matter. In speaking of the significance of this movement the Telegraph says: It is the most pressing thing before this State today. Matters of governorships and judgeships are only bagatelles compared to the real importance of this Negro exodus going on from Georgia. There is a little lull now with winter coming on, but the spring will see it set in in full volume, unless something is done at once to stop it. In looking for a method to stop this exodus, The Telegraph is willing to face the facts and the truth, as is shown by the following paragraphs which we quote from 'the body of its splendid editorial': We must have the Negro in the South. The black man is fitted by nature, by centuries of living in it, to work contentedly, effectively and healthily during the long summers of semi-tropical and tropical countries. He has been with us so long that our whole industrial, commercial and agricultural structure has been built on a black foundation. It is the only labor we have, it is the best we possibly could have—if we lose it, we go bankrupt! Everybody seems to be asleep about what is going on right under our noses. That is, everybody but those farmers who have wakened up of mornings recently to find every male Negro over 21 on his place gone—to Cleveland, to Pittsburgh, to Chicago, to Indianapolis. Better jobs, better treatment, higher pay—the bait held out is being swallowed by thousands of them all about us. And while our very solvency is being sucked out from underneath we go about our affairs as usual—our police officers raid poolpoms for "loafing in the jail, to make bond at ten per cent, to hire lawyers, to mortgage half of two months' wages to get back on their jobs Monday morning—although but a bare half dozen could have been guilty of Negroes," bring in twelve, keep them in the barracks all night and ish Empire nor do they approve of dictatorship over Congress. Your foreign policies, your failure to secure compliance with all American rights, your leniency with the British Empire, your approval of war loans, the ammunition traffic, are issues in this campaign." The President ducked and came back straight from the shoulder with the following telegrain: "Your telegram received. I would feel deeply mortified to have you or anybody like you vote for me. Since you have access to many disloyal Americans, and I have not, I will ask you to convey this message to them." Mr. O'Leary went to the ropes but recovered, lowered his head --- Would have done. Bel that they have stumped Mr. it he would have done to solve the person has worked out a false answer to this line when in an editorial or Hughes's speeches the slightest idea done if the grave problems arising on had been presented to him for affected American life and property, war on Mexico? If so, why not say negation, political, legal or moral, that It is President Wilson's Mexican Hughes' Mr. Hughes is doing all that tells what President Wilson should read and plead that he was hungry, not give him the right to demand, "What would you have done? hungry man might have done. He urged or applied to an institution or right not have done stands out clearly that he did do, steal the loaf of bread that he would have done. He denied American life and property. And Mr. Hughes is sufficient. To ask Mr. Hughes would have taken been necessary to protect American to tell what steps would have been just about as sensible to ask that happened in Europe, 1769 to 1821, in born?" Is that President Wilson has failed liberty both in Mexico and in United States. What steps Mr. Hughes might Wilson has failed to do is entirely Hughes have done?" is asked either. RATION QUESTION" AGAIN. Montgomery, Alabama, the city commission which hope will stem the tide of and prevent agents from other local the purpose of carrying away these ordinance reads as follows: sentices, or persuades or influences or influence any laborer or othergomery for the purpose of being a laborer, must on conviction be than one hundred dollars, or may city for not more than six months," the court. Effect of such an ordinance will be Montgomery and vicinity in a concise hundreds of colored laborers under a capital, yet they are to be provided for employment. Montgomery are on the wrong tack like made by Southern communities with vital questions affecting the to control a condition by enacting to remedy it by going to the truth. Telegraph, in an editorial of more this question, goes to the root of significance of this movement the before this State today. Matters are only bagatelles compared to exodus going on from, Georgia. Enter coming on, but the spring will less something is done at once to stop this exodus. The Telegraph is truth, as is shown by the following the body of its splendid editorial the South.

In acting thus, you have followed your usual method of carrying on a controversy with an opponent. Now you seek, by an indirect charge of disloyalty—a charge which you dared not directly make—to escape the questions which you cannot answer. "I challenge comparison, both by heredity and environment, of my life and antecedents with yours. While three of my uncles were dying in defense of the Union, those of your kin who dared to fight were struggling to destroy it."

It was the week following that several Macon employers found good Negroes, men trained to their work, secure and respected in their jobs, valuable assets to their white employers, suddenly left and gone to Cleveland, "where they don't arrest fifty niggers for what three of 'em done." We have pointed out that the Negro does not remain where he is unjustly and brutally treated because he is indifferent to that treatment. He remains there because economic necessity compels him to do so. And whenever economic opportunities open for him elsewhere he will leave. These opportunities are now opening for him in the North, and it will take something more than "exodus laws" to keep him from leaving the South. It will take a willingness on the part of the Southern white people to accord the Negro better treatment; and that means better wages, better schools, better police protection, less police persecution, less brutal and unnecessary discrimination, and a stamping out of lynching. In a word, it means the treatment of the Negro as a fellow human being and an American citizen. The Macon Telegraph is on the right line, and we wish it the power and courage to go farther.

Governor Whitman's Address In presenting the colony, Governor Whitman spoke as follows: "To your keeping today, on behalf of the people of the great State which you serve, I am organizing a new grant—the Regimental colony of the 11th infantry, the standard of our state, the stars and stripes—the flag of the free heart's hope and home." "There can be no more honorable service than that upon which you are entering—the protection of the Commonwealth, and, should occasion require, the defense of your native land." "You have become soldiers of New York, and until you are mustered out you will be soldiers of the State every year of your lives." The honor of the State is involved in your daily conduct and in your every act, not only when you are wearing the uniform and following these colors, but wherever you are and in whatever activity you may be engaged in. The State are going to judge your Regimen and conduct of its man whatever they are and in whatever activity they are engaged. You have every reason to be proud of your heritage. The record of the colored soldier in the armies of this land has been an honorable record, and all who have been interested in the recruiting of the 15th infantry, National Guard of New York, are confident that the men who have volunteered so willingly and so gladly will be true to the record made by the many of your race who have worn the Army blue, who, in the hour of danger, were never found wanting in courage and in devotion. Those colors are yours. Guard them as a sacred possession, protect them, as know you will, should the enemy know you with your lives, God grant that you have been called upon to make the sacrifices offered by those who have gone before you that the freedom and the civilization and the enlightenment which the flag embodies and represents may abide and remain forever." At the conclusion of the Governor's address the regiment, in platoon formation, led by the band with R. Douge as drum major, and headed by Col. Hayward and his staff, marched and counter-marched up Fifth avenue and through Lenox avenue to its armory at 132d street and Seventh avenue. The ten companies in line, with officers-commanding, were as follows: Co. A—1st Lieut. V. W. Tandy. Co. B—Capt. C. W. Fillmore. Co. C—1st Lieut. Virgil Parks. Co. D—1st Lieut. Herbert Gee, 2nd Lieut. Wyatt. Co. E—Sergeant Thomas. Co. F—Sergeant Jackson. Co. G—2nd Lieut. Prunty. Co. I—1st Lieut. N. B. Marshall. Co. K—Capt. Ackman. Co. L—Sergt. McCoy, Sergt. Nichols. Commenting editorially on the presenting of the colors to the regiment by Governor 'Whitman,' the New York Evening Globe paid the following splendid tribute to the Negro soldiers: THE FIFTEENTH. "You have every reason to be proud of your heritage," Governor Whitman told the members of the new Fifteenth Regiment, in presenting the regimental colors and standards yesterday. He was correct. The record of the Negro soldiers in the armies of the United States has been an honorable one. Wherever tried, they have not been found wanting. And this was especially true recently in Mexico, while their part at San Juan will not be forgotten. The men who have joined the Fifteenth, from Bert Williams to laborer, did so willingly and gladly, volunteering so as to be ready for service in case their State or country needed them. New York welcomes the Fifteenth. The Afro-American is no hyphenate. Made a slave of for 250 years and discriminated against for half a century, he does not lose faith in Americanism. TWO LETTERS ON NEGRO EXODUS FROM SOUTH (Continued from page one) might wish to employ the idle or un-employed about the city, whether residents here or driven here by their folly or misfortune. It would seem, therefore, to logically follow from the ordinances, that any person who persuades or influences the good or the bad, the industrious or the lazy, the worthy or the worthless, the man or the dude, the insistent or the sneak thief, the butcher, the baker, or the candle-stick maker," for they all come under the head of "laborer or other person" to leave the city for the purpose of being employed at any other place, is guilty of a crime. There are none to escape this fearfully extended legislative draiment, for if one is not "a laborer" he would certainly come under the designation of "other person," to come here to employ whom is declared a crime, although one might think that the laborer has just as much right to sell his brawn and muscle, which is his stock in trade, as the merchant has to sell his goods, which is his stock in trade, or the professional man his skill and knowledge, which is his stock in trade. If the Commissioners had resolved to hire some one to come here to hire the idle and unemployed it seems to me wisdom would have been much more in evidence than in employing their time in passing ordinances to prevent it. Condition Confirms Us. There is another phase of this question, Mr. Editor, which should also be taken into consideration. The floods of summer and the boll weevil combined present us with a condition—not a theory—and an unprecedented condition at that. The Federal govern- manet has been called on to help in pre- venting starvation among them in dire- need and distress, and this even before the winter months have come. The ready hand of the charitable landlord which has so often extended help to his tenants has in man yinnance been paralysed by the very misfortune which has stripped the tenant of his all and the Negro tenant drives into the city to work, to bar or to cool, and let us do him the justice to any he doesn't belong to the only race, either, that will steal before they will marrow. The Federal apprehension is en- hanced, the landlord cannot lend a helping food; winter has come, and without food or clothing the Negro in the city, and what then? The Commis- sionaries have effectively prohibited by law any one from coming here to hire him. He doesn't dare stay on the street corner for fear he will be arre- rested as a vagrant, so, the one of these revolving winds, he goes round and round and round, for, like Little Joe in Black House he must "heap a-movie" on. Many of these Negroes are able-bodied, healthy and industrious men, who are willing to work to save themselves and their wives and children from starvation, but there are none here to employ him. I believe all that you have said about the South being the best place for the Negro. I believe the law ought to punish severely any one who entitles away the servant or laborer of another, but, at the same time, I believe that when one is out of employment and in anxious to work he should have no obstacle like these ordinances thrown in his way of obtaining it. ALEXANDER TROY. On the same editorial page the Advertiser published a straight-from-the-shoulder article written by a colored man, S. W. Jefferson, of Pensacola, Fla., giving the "NEGRO VIEW OF THE EXODUS," Editor The Advertiser. Why should the South raise such objections to the jobless man seeking the manless job, especially when it has held that jobless man up to the ridicule of the world as trifling, shiffthese and such a burden to the South? Now that the opportunity has come to the Negro to relieve the South of some of its burden, and at the same time advance his own interest, a great hue and cry is started that it must not be allowed, and the usual and foolish method of repressive legislation is brought into play. The Macon Telegraph says' of the Negro exodus: "If we lose it, we go bankrupt." Yet, it is the same paper that only a few months ago was advocating the sending of 100,000 Negroes into Mexico to conquer the 'mongrel breed," and at the same time rid the South of that many worthless Negroes. How different the song now. The black man has no quarrel with the Mexicans, but, on the other hand, he certainly has a disagreement with conditions as it affects him in the South, and when he desires to improve those conditions by getting away from them he must be checked. Plenty of "bound advice" is given him about staring in the South among his friends and under the same old conditions. The bugaboo of cold weather is put before him to frighten him; of race antagonism and sandy other things, but not one word about better treatment is suggested to lighten the burden. no sane and reasonable remedy offered. The black labor is the best labor the South can get; no other work would long under the same conditions. It has been faithful and loyal, but that loyalty can be undermined, witness the exodus. The Advertiser truly says, "And the Negro will not come back once he leaves the South." The world war is bringing many changes and a chance for the Negro to enter broader fields. With the "tempting bait" of higher wages, shorter hours, better schools and better treatment, all the preachments of the so-called "race leaders" will fall on deaf ears. It is probable that "the well informed Negro" who told the Birmingham editor that it was good schools that was drawing the Negro could have given other and more potent reasons, had he been so minded. He could have told how deep down in the Negro's heart he has no love for prescription, segregation, lynchings, the petty persecutions and cruelties practiced against him, nor for the arresting of "fifty niggers for what three of 'em done," even if it takes all of this to uphold the "scheme of civilization." From Savannah alone three thousand Negroes went, from the 16-year-old boy to the man of 60 years. There must be something radically wrong when aged Negroes are willing to make the change. There is greater unrest among Negroes than those in high places are aware. Mr. Frank D. Rush, of Kentucky, said at the National Association of Manufacturers in New York recently: "In advance of the Negro's industrial progress has gone very naturally his moral and educational development, and the eagerness with which many are seizing every advantage offered by their institutions, plainly foreshadows a still more wonderful development in all those attributes which go to make up citizens of whom we will have no reason to feel ashamed. In the light of these conditions, is there not good reason to consider this Southern Negro as one of the South's greatest industrial assets, and does it not behoove Southern industry to deal with him so fairly, so honestly, so uprightly as to maintain unimpaired that loyalty and strong feeling of common interest found in this plain, straightforward workman?" So say all the Negroes, but it is not so. Let The Advertiser speak out in the same masterful way, with the same punch and pep for a square deal for the Negro, that it does democracy and the right of local self-government. JEFFERSON.

At St. James Church, 59-61 West 137th street, the rite of baptism was administered and the Lord's Supper celebrated last Sunday, the pastor preaching at both services. Four persons met the session and were received into the church. Sixteen members of the number who had joined the church during last month were given the right hand of fellowship. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J Timpson was baptized at the morning service. Charles Hargrove and Miss Lula Thomas, who were united in marriage by the pastor last week have returned from their honeymoon. The Christian Endeavor Sunday is arranging for a unique program on the last Sunday of the month. Dr. J. McMillan, chairman of the Church Extension Committee of the New York Presbytery, will occupy the pulpit next Sunday at 13 o'clock. The Rev. Gao, Kirchner, of the Luthenian Reformed Church, will speak at night. The Presbytery of New York at a regular meeting on October 2, official murdered the unanimous call from St. James Church to the Rev. F. M. Hyder, which was formally accepted and the commission designed to perform the installation ceremonies on October 19. The church is going forward with plan to mark this event with appropriate ceremonies. Washington Memorial Minute Notwithstanding the rain last Friday night, the go-to-gathering social at the Mission, 483 Leone events was fairly well attended and was an enjoyable affair. The program was as follows: piano solo, Miss Lucia; reattation, Master Archele Gue; piano solo, Miss Lacey; reading selection, Mra. J. W. Williams; remarries, J. H. Poe; piano solo, Mrs. M. C.

Dr. Corgins is field secretary of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist, Episcopal Church. Last Sunday ushered in the beginning of the annual fall rally. In the morning, the text was St. Luke's 14: 16. Theme:—"Jesus came into the world, that every man may live a better life." Evening text, Deuteronomy 11: 12. Theme:—"What is the program of your life?" The activity demonstrated by the various leaders of clubs, and the great interest shown by the legion of friends and unattached members of the Church are inspiring to the pastor, officers and laity and augurs well for the success of their efforts to make the rally of 1916 eclipse all former ones. The Thursday evening exercises of the Lyceum were largely attended. The musical and literary program under the direction of Mme. Henrietta Vinton Davia, was well rendered and favorably received. Dr. Chas. Mayfield was master of ceremonies. Participants wore, Mme. Ida Miller, Mme. H. V. Davies, Miss Annette Robinson, Mme. H. V. Davies, J. C. Armstrong, Mrs. L. D.

Music lovers of Greater New York have their choice to night (Thursday, October 5) between two very attractive musical events. One is the appearance of Harry T. Butleigh in recital at the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, Bridge street, Brooklyn, and the other is the formal opening of the Music School Settlement, 4-6 West Main street, of which J. Rosamond Johnson is the director. In a sense it is unfortunate that these events, both important from a musical and artistic point of view, should occur on the same evening. But it appears to have been unintentional and unavoidable. Since Mr. Johnson has been at the head of the Music School Settlement, the first Thursday in October has invariably been selected as the date of the school's formal opening. The Fleet Street folks were evidently not aware of this, for several weeks ago, before any announcement of the Music School opening was made, the Burleigh recital was announced. However, it is quite likely that both affairs will be liberally patronized. It is not often that Mr. Burleigh can be secured for a metropolitan appearance before an audience of race music lovers, but that is not because of selfishness on his part, or from any lack of race interest. It is simply that he has developed as an artist and composer to such a degree that he is unable to respond to all the demands made for his artistic services. As a matter of fact, in the world of musical achievement, Burleigh has gone beyond any mere racial lines; his is not essentially the work of a Negro musician, although racial sympathy and affinity has given him a peculiarly attractive ability of expression. . . . At the Music School Settlement opening members of the faculty, and perhaps some of the advanced pupils, will appear on the program. For this year's term the corps of teachers has been greatly enlarged, and the roster comprises many of the race's most developed and talented musicians. The latest addition thereto is Sidney Woodward, of whose career and ability extensive reference was made last week. He will have as co-workers in the Department of Voice Mrs. Nellie Ford-Brooks of Brooklyn and T. Harry Bolden, another tenor. Among the instructors on the piano will be Miss Ethel Richardson, who has been fortunate through the past summer in being coached by Percy Grainger, the famous Australian pianist and composer, Miss Florence Herbert, Mrs. Stella Hawkins, W. H. Butler, F. Hall Johann, Mrs. Emma DeLyon Leonard, Miss Beatrice Campbell and William H. Butler. The Department of the Violin will include among instructors David Mannes, who is an elevated figure in the world of music. He will not do general teaching, but has offered to coach a few of the pupils who give promise of exceptional development. The department proper will be in charge of Felix Fowler Weir, F. Hall Johnson and W. H. Butler. Exceptionally fortunate is Director Johnson in securing for his Department of the Cello the services of H. Leonard Jeter and Jacob Pease. Mr. Jeter is probably the most finished performer on that delightful instrument that is to be found among the ranks of Negro musicians. And he is possessed of splendid teaching ability, including patience, tact and the ability to give clear and understandable explanations to pupils. Probably the most versatile member of the faculty is William H. Butler. In addition to his work as instructor of the piano and violin, Mr. Butler is at the head of the Department of the Mandolin, Banjo, Guitar, Wood Wind and Brass Instruments. And, contrary to the usual condition, he is said to be a master on all of them. Melody Writing and Harmony will be taught by Miss Stella Hawkins, who is well equipped for that task. There will be included in the school's work a Department of Elocution and Dramatic Art, with Charles Burroughs, who has achieved some reputation as a Shakespearean interpreter, at its head. He will be assisted by Mme. Fannie Belle DeKnight. Another addition to the curriculum will be the Department of English Composition, added to that of Languages. James Weldon Johnson, of The Acct staff, will head this department, assisted by Seifon E. Colon-Torres. Miss Vivienne A. Ward will teach Stenography and Typewriting, and Mrs. Nora E. Johnson will have charge of the Child Recreation Department. Miss Amanda Kemp, a most talented exponent of the torpsichorean art, will have charge of the Folk Dances classes, and Miss Carita V. Owens, who enjoys equal vogue in her sphere, will have charge of the Dance Assemblies. Musical Composition will be taught by J. Rosamond Johnson, director of the school, who will also have supervision over all the departments. With this strong and well-balanced faculty it goes without saying that the past development of the work will be added to most satis- factorial. A feature of the mid-winter season will be a continuation of the Sunday afternoon lecture-recitals which proved so interesting and instructive during past seasons. For the recital at Fleet Street Church tonight Mr. Burleigh will be assisted by Melville Charlton as accompanist; Chas. Watera, tenor; Mme. Fannie Belle DeKnight, dramatic reader, and others. It is to be hoped that the Fleet Street audience will not be disappointed, as was the New York audience last week, by the appearance of one of the programed artists after the conclusion of the program. It is bad enough for the audience to be late, but artists engaged for a concert appearance should arrange their affairs to the end that they may be prompt in keeping the engagement. The All-Star Concert last Thursday night at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, West 53d street, the Rev. William P. Hayes, pastor, under the auspices of the Usher Board, was a tremendous success, artistically and financially, it is reported, the artists scheduled to appear are: George Jones, baritone. Mme. Fannie Belle DeKnight, reader. The beginning of the program was delayed five minutes past the opening hour because of the non-appearance of Mme DeKnight, but the managers of the affair set a good example by not compelling the audience to wait until they became impatient. The spacious auditorium was jammed to its utmost capacity, and every number received the most appreciative hearing. Miss Brown, Mrs. Tapley and Mr. Jones were in good voice and the auditue was amply repaid. The trustees were considerably disappointed by the failure of Mme. DeKnight to appear, and although persons who attended the concert have said that when they were leaving, after the conclusion of the program, they met her coming to the church, a note from one of the managers, Mr. Wallace, written on Friday, states: "Our concert was an overwhelming success, with the exception of the non-appearance of Mme. Fannie Belle DeKnight. We were disappointed at the last minute, and at this writing we have not as yet heard from this good lady." One of the most enjoyable features of the, exercises attendant upon the presentation of a stand-of colors to the 15th Regiment, N. Y. N. G., which occurred, Sunday morning, October 1, at the Union League Club, was the playing of the 15th Regiment Band, under direction of Chief Musician Edward E. Thompson. Many were the comments and they were of the most favorable character. White citizens and music lovers were surprised at the ability of the Negro musicians and expressed themselves most complimentarily. It is of interest, in this connection, to note that the Music Lovers' Club of the Martin-Smith Music School has announced the appearance of Mr. Thompson and the 15th Reginald Band in an autumn concert and dance. The affair is to be held at Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Eighth avenue, on Friday evening, October 20, and Mr. Thompson will present his band in a program of concert music which, it is said, will be a decided departure from the ordinary conception of what it is possible for a military band to do. One of the special features will be a section of sixteen slide trombones, the same section which created such a sensation last June by its rendering, as a double octet, of selections from "Tamhauser." Another interesting innovation will be the feature dances of all nations, including Porto Rican, British West Indies and the "Rumba Cubano." I don't know what these things are, but the names have a fascinating sound, and the mystery which attaches to them detract nothing from the anticipatory interest. THE FAMILY CUPBOARD.

THEATRE FOR ROANOKE Ravensburg, Va.—Roanoke is to have a colored theatre, excavations for the foundations of which have already begun. It will be known as the Hampton Theatre, Inc., named after the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute at Hampton, Va. It is expected that the building will be ready to open its doors December 1. The theatre will be modern in its appointments and will have a seating capacity of 1,000 persons. The lot on which it will be built measures 50 by 100 feet and is located near the corner of High and Henry streets. A press-brick building will be adorned with marble trimmings. The president's office will be enclosed in glass, so that the interior of the building can be observed. It is purposed to have clean, pelite colored vaudeville. Arrangements have been made to place Roanoke on the "S. H. Dudley" circuit. Only first-class moving pictures will be used, and it is proposed to have a six-piece orchestra to play during the performances. Officers of the company are: C. Tiffany Toliver, president; Green Penn, vice-president; Dr. E. D. Downing, secretary; A. F. Brooks, treasurer; and C. L. Andrews, manager. Sporting Notes (BY ALEXANDER WATERS) PUGILISM. At the Harlem Sporting Club on last Friday night the much-heralded heavy-weight from California, Refus Cameron, whom Frank Moran recommended highly, did not fight up to the expectation of the fight fans. From the reputation he was supposed to have, lots more was expected of him than he rendered in the star bout of the evening with Sailor Grande, who outclassed the colored begn, in every round, and also in every line of the fighting game. Weights: Cameron, 205; Grande, 178. The Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue, will hold its show on Thursday evening, October 5, instead of Friday, the usual night, and Lew Raymond has arranged an all-star card for the fight fans on that evening. The main bout of the evening brings out Nero Chink, who is fighting in his best form lately and defeating everyone he meets. Chink meets Dave Kurtz in a return bout. These two boys met several weeks ago and put up such a great battle that the fight fans asked Matchmaker Raymond to re-match them. In meeting Kurtz the colored boy will meet one of the best middleweights in the business. In their previous bout Bink gained the decision after fighting ten hard rounds, but Kurtz says he will reverse this decision on Thursday night when they meet. Mark Spencer, the Harlem featherweight, who has not performed here for some time, will meet Paddy Burns, the fighting Irishman from the West Side, and this book alone will be worth the admission. Spencer is noted for his cleverness and is a boy who knows how to fight and can fight. In Burns the colored boy will meet a boy who is very aggressive and a stiff puncher. At the Clermont A. C., 181 Clermont avenue, Brooklyn, Wee Wee Barton, the colored lightweight of New York, met Walter-Mohr in the star bout of the evening, this being the second meeting of these boys in a month. The previous fight came to an abrupt end in the fourth round when Mohr was disqualified for butting. Being dissatisfied with this decision, Mohr asked for a return bout, and Matchmaker Mullen wasted no time in matching these two aggressive boys. Barton fought the best battle of his career when he gave Mohr a grand lacing in ten rounds. The white lad is supposed to be one of the best in-fighters in the business, but in Barton he found a boy equally as good in that particular line of the game. Barton's aggressiveness gave him the decision at the end of the bout. Weights: Barton, 140; Mohr, 142. At the Clermont A. C. last Monday night, before a very large crowd of fight fans, K. O. Lou Williams of Savannah, the colored welterweight champion of the world and the comflying welterweight champion, added another victime, to his record when he easily de- Announcement Extraordinary THE MUSIC LOVER'S CLUB of the Martin-Smith Music School announces E.

Except for an unfortunate lapse of memory on the part of Miss Wilkes as a crucial moment, which was covered over as much as possible by Mr. Kirkpatrick's presence of mind, aided by the promoter's very audible assistance, these people gave strong and virile interpretations to their various characterizations. Miss Wilkes than atoned for her forgetfulness by the manner in which she brought out the emotional strength necessary to the delineation of the character of a wife who first loses interest in her husband's life, then seeks to divorce him when she discovers his unfaithfulness. She is brought to a realization of her mistake by the plight of her son, who falls in love with and wants to marry the girl who, he discovers, has been the object of his father's illicit attention, and so decides to commit suicide, and this gives her an opportunity of which she takes the fullest advantage. Mrs. Charles H. Anderson, in the very difficult role of Kitty Clair, Charles Nelson's light o' love, gives a clever interpretation of a girl lacking in moral fibre, who, seeking revenge on a man who casts her aside by throwing her wiler around his unsophisticated son, finds herself at last in love with the boy, as she thinks; however, the lure of her former life proves even stronger than this latter attraction, and she returns to it with a companion of those other days. Kirkpatrick and Knorl were exceptionally good in their respective roles. Cleo Desmond, as always, was delightful in her role of Mrs. Element Harding. May Olden, Charles Olden, A. B. Comathiere and Arthur Ray deserve special mention. Clarence· Muse and Orma Crosby Boquet were not quite so happily placed, and their work, as a result, lacked spontaneity and ease. For next week another Broadway success, "Conspiracy," will be the attraction, and on Sunday afternoon and night there will be continuous vaudeville and photo plays. L. H. WHITE. THE NEW LINCOLN. The opening of the New Lincoln Theatre to colored dramatic stock companies for the regular theatrical season begins Monday-October-9. Mrs. Mary G. Downs, the New Lincoln Theatre's owner, Billie Burke manager, and Jack Dempsey, assistant manager, have devoted their entire energies, thoughts and time to making the opening week the most auspicious occasion that this theatre has ever known. Archie Hunt, the stage manager, has together with the New Lincoln's orchestra, been in secret rehearsals with his electric switch and canvas settings in order to provide smooth running to the players. "The production selected to open with will be Edgar Selwyn's great Liberty Theatre success, "The Country Boy," in four acts. The cast for this play is made up of the following well known artists: Lionel Monagak, Anthony D. Byrd, R. G. Doggett, Evelyn Ellis, Helen Hubbard Brown, Mae Brown, Jeanette Jordan, Hilda Offley Thompson, C. Creighton Thompson, Edward Sterling Wright, James Burris, Lillyn Browne, Billy Dempont and Ardelle Mitchell Taylor. Other Broadway successes will follow each week under the personal direction of Billie Burke. THEATRICAL IOTTINGS Thomas A. Brooks, with Heart of Dixie Co. is at the Majestic Theatre, Buffalo, N. Y., weeks of October 2 and 9, with Pittsburgh, Pa., to follow. A note from Karle Cooke brings the information that since the close of the Newport season the Karle Cooke's Troubadours, with McClennon's Orchestra Quintet, have filled a number of engagements in New Hampshire. They are making their headquarters at Littleton, N. H., receiving accommodations in any way whatever. They have played at Bethelhem and Bretton Woods; for Miss Grace Vanderbilt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, at Stone Bridge Hotel, Tiverton, R. I., and Globe Theatre, Fall River, Mass. After singing at the Littleton Opera House and Premier Theatre they played for a The Dononte which followed. The Old Time Darkies are at the Orpheum Theatre, Los Angeles, Cal. Pankey & McCarver are at the New Wilson Theatre, Beloit, Wis. Anderson & Goines played the Orpheum Theatre, Champaign, Ill., this week, first half; last half, the Windsor Theatre, Chicago.

Valyda and Her Brazdian Nuts are booked on the U.B.O and Keith circuits for thirty-five weeks Hattie Akers and Frank Jackson, two former members of the Smart Set, are training in vaudeville footed Johnny Kid Alberts in the star bout of the evening. The colored fighter, although giving away ten pounds to his white opponent, assumed the lead by his aggressiveness, and never once was in danger of losing it. Williams gave Alberts a grand lacing, much to the disappointment of the white fans, who expected Alberts to win decisively. Williams, who is a very stiff puncher with both hands, had Alberts hanging on long before the tenth round to save himself from punishment, as Alberts was satisfied to clinch after the colored boy had mung a hard right to his jaw in the early part of the bout. The bell was welcomed by Alberts at the end of the tenth round. Weights! Alberts, 153; Williams, 149. In the semi-final bout of the evening Barling Neal met Frank Guilfoyle, and after the colored, boy had knocked him down five times in the first round he was counted out. Weights: Neal, 148; Guilfoyle, 150. At the Vanderbilt A. C., Brooklyn, last Monday night, Kid Ashe failed to show up and the matchmaker secured Jack Keating as a substitute. But he proved a poor one for the clever colored heavyweight, John Lester Johnson, made him look very foolish and proceeded to give him a grand lacing until Referee Dan McAvoy stopped the slaughter in the middle of the fifth round. Weights: Johnson, 179; Keating, 183. New Haven, Conn.-Buddy Faulks, the best colored-bantamweight in this country, gave away ten pounds to Young McAuliffe in a fifteen-round bout at the opening of the New Haven A. C., but the weight was too much for Faulks. The white boy, who is a clever, hard-hitting boy, floored Faulks several times during the bout, and received the referee's decision at the end of the fifteenth round. Weights: Faulks, 114; McAuliffe, 124. BASEBALL Ridgewood Grounds, Brooklyn—The Royal Giants are still winning and on last Sunday journeyed to these grounds and annexed another double-header to their record by defeating the New London baseball club in the first game and taking the home team, the Bushwicks, into camp in the second game.

Lenox Oval, 145th street and Lenox avenue—Penn Red Caps, the champions of the Penn system, and one of the strongest baseball clubs in and around New York met the baseball team composed of Elks from Monarch 45 in a double-header and split even. Much to the surprise of all present, the Elks, knowing the strength of the Penn Red Caps team, took no chances with their regular team, but had several well-known semi-professional players in their line-up, which seemed a little unfair to the Penn Red Caps team. But aside from the games were closely contested, and the Red Caps would have won both games if they had a good right fielder. Lane, who was covering that territory for his team, is an exceptionally good batter but a poor fielder. Had he held the ball that he muffed in the ninth inning of the first game the Penn boys would have won both games. The Monarchs had all professional ball players on their team, but were outbatted and out-fielled by their opponents; the batting honors of the day going to Nat Edwards, better known in the baseball world as "snookums," who made four hits in the first game and three in the last game. Pierce of the Penn team hit a home run in the first game off of Gunboat Thompson, who was pitching for the Monarchs. Langford, who did an iron man stunt by pitching both games for the Red Caps pitched masterly ball for his team. In the second game he was invincible, allowing but two hits and striking out eight Monarchs. Fial, the center fielder of the Monarchs, made the feature catch of the day when he went up in the fence and caught a fly ball with one hand, saving several runs for his team. The scores: R. H. E. Penn Red Caps. 01 0000200—3 8 3 Monarch 45... 10100002—4 5 1 Batteries—Langford and Jackson; Thompson and Fuller. R. H. E.

EXTENDING NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE WORK The National Urban League closed the last ten days of its fiscal year, which ended on September 30 with a financial campaign to raise $3,400 in order to complete its year's work without a deficit. John D. Rockefeller and A. T. White pledged $1,600 of this amount if the $1,800 could be raised before Saturday. The league was successful in raising this sum through the assistance of many wealthy people of the downtown district, and several of the leading colored citizens. Among the colored people who contributed substantially to the campaign are: Rev. Hutchins C. B. Bishop, Bishop Alexander Walters, Dr. Leo Fitz Neason, Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson, Chas. W. Anderson, Edward A. Warren, Mrs. W. F. Trotman, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Claude M. Moten, Major R. R. Moton and members of the Union Baptist Church. The league is extending its work locally by the opening of a branch office at 202 West 63d street. Miss Vivienne A. Ward, for many years an assistant in the industrial department of the league, will be placed in charge of the which will be connected operation with the work of Lincoln House. The league has just completed an investigation of the causes underlying in the high infant mortality on Columbus Hill by Miss Namii B. Spencer. The work of organizing a movement for reducing this death rate will take the shape of house-to-house visits to mothers of young babies by experienced nurses, and women who know the best methods of rearing children, and possibly the establishment of a day nursery. Eugene Kindle Jones, executive secretary, goes to Chicago and Cleveland next week to promote movements in these cities.

DR. HART ON BOARD OF $OURNER TRUTH HOME Through an oversight the name of Dr. Hastings H. Hart was omitted from the Sojourner Truth House Board of Directors, as given in the article on that institution's work in last week's issue of THE AGE. Dr. Hart, who is the director of the Department of Child-Helping of the Russell Sage Foundation, is a great friend of the colored people. He is a native of Ohio, being the brother of Albert Bushnell Hart, the noted Harvard professor. Dr. Hart probably can boast of more years of practical work in social service than any other social worker in New York City, having been for more than thirty years in social work in Chicago before, some years ago, taking up his present duties with the Russell Sage Foundation.
