Real Estate Agents Whose Methods are Protested Circulate Unsigned Paper Making Attack on this Paper. 1,000 Assembled at Public School 80 Show Tempor When Real Estate Agents are Introduced to Speak, and Refuse Absolutely to Allow Lawyer to Speak in Bailhold of Agent Said to be Responsible for High Rents. That favorable results have already been attained as a result of the strenuous fight which is being made on high rentals by residents on the 143d street block between Seventh and Eighth avenues, backed up by the Negro Civic Improvement League and the National Urban League, is claimed by tenants, who declare that one of the Negro agents and one of the white agents handling these properties have already lowered rents by from $1 to $3 per apartment. It is declared, also, that the colored people are not in any great hurry to occupy the houses recently opened to colored people in this block, which houses have heretofore been occupied by white tenants. Concrete evidence of the interest the people are showing in this campaign was shown by the large and enthusiastic attendance upon the meeting held at P. S. 89 on Thursday evening, October 5, when more than 1,500 people of all classes crowded the assembly room to voice their protest against the foisting upon them of excessive rentals for homes affording them a reasonable amount of comfort. Mentioned physicians, hospitals and many other institutions women, were present to hear what was to be said concerning this matter. This meeting was, the direct outcome of the work of a committee of women residing on the block in question, Miss Jefferson, Mrs. Rice and Mrs. Ross, who called on J. T. Clark, secretary of the Housing Bureau of the National Urban League, filing the original protest of the residents against the action of the agents in increasing the rents. These women exerted themselves actively in circulating the call for the meeting and in influencing the people to attend. People Are Determined. The determined attitude of the people was clearly shown by the manner in which the various 'speeches' were received. The meeting was presided over by Enoch W. Newton, president of the Negro Civic Improvement-League, who introduced as the first speaker a white man, Mr. Burton, who had been for ten years a resident on the 143d street block-in question. Mr. Burton moved into the house where he now lives when it was first built. He declared that he and other white tenants had been notified to move in order to make room for colored tenants; the reason being frankly given that colored tenants would pay higher rentals. In answer to the explanation of certain agents that the renters were merely charged tenants were rentally the出租ing of the original rents which had been charged white tenants, Mr. Burton declared that in the house next door to where he is living the maximum rental, ten years ago, for white tenants, was $30. Now colored tenants are paying $33, notwithstanding that the rent had been decreased for the whites during that period to $35. Grudged Hearing to Agents. Several real estate agents had been invited and given an opportunity to present their side of the case. John M. Royall and George W. Royall, of the firm of John M. Royall, 21 West 134th street which controls, it is the houses, at 148, 202 and 240 West 143d street, in the block under discussion, responded to the invitation, as did John Nail of the firm of Nail & Parker, 145 West 135th street. As an indication of the stinger of the people, it was difficult for the presiding officer to secure a respectful hearing for these speakers. Believing, as did many of them, that the colored real estate agents were in large degree responsible for the abnormal increase in rentals when these houses were opened for colored tenants, there was a decided aversion to hearing them. However, the people finally quoted themselves and listened patiently to what the agents had to say. Fred R. Moore of The Age, which paper has strongly espoused the cause of the tenants in this fight on extortionate rentals, was one of the speakers. Prior to the meeting an anonymous circular, evidently emanating from the office of one of the real estate agents who had been mentioned in connection with the raising of rentals for colored tenants had been circulated among the audience. This circular made a false and foolish attack on The Age, attempting to apprise certain fallacious motives to its support of the movement for lower rentals. Mr. Moore made reference to this circular and declared that the intelligent Negroes ought to pull together and eliminate those who Valley Rest. Conveleescent Home. attempt in any manner to exploit the race for their personal benefit. HAMPTON INSTITUTE BEGINS 40th YEAR The audience refused absolutely to listen to a lawyer who attempted to speak, claiming to be the representative of one of the agents whose name had been mentioned as a prime mover in the raising of rents. Their "hisses and overexposed protein completely and effectively overwhelmed the compelled to desist. A general discussion of the question by the people preceded the adjournment. Mushroom Agencies. It is declared that a number of mushroom agencies are springing up in Harlem because of the opportunities offered to exploit the Negro tenancy. Several agencies are being operated from cigar stores and butcher shops and other temporary locations, and it is charged also that some of the white agents, since this crusade has started, are writing receipts for from $4 to $5 more than is really paid by white tenants, because of the plan adopted by the agitators of securing rent receipts where possible in order to have positive evidence of the difference in rates charged colored as against white tenants. Investigations conducted by William McNichols, of the Negro Civic Improvement League, show, it is alleged, that the colored agents handling properties on this block are A. G. Thompson, 174 West 135th street, and John M. Brown, 21, West 134th street. Whose street is West 134th street; Pamphilh, 255 West 143d street; Morris Moore, 2127 Madison avenue, and Cohen, to be a Kosher butcher, Lenox avenue and 143d street. It is asserted that when a committee of ladies called on Mr. Thompson to make inquiry concerning the raising of rents a clerk in his office informed them that Mr. Thompson was simply acting for the owners in making the change of tenants from white to colored, when he would turn the properties back to the owners or to the white agents. The houses at 148, 202 and 240 West 143d street, said to be in charge of John M. Royall, are not placarded with his name, but it is charged that he does the renting of these properties from his office, and that the same high rates of rent are charged by Thompson and the white agents. In (Continued on page five) RENEWED INTEREST IN MEMORIAL FUND. There has been a decided revival of interest in the local campaign being carried on in behalf of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund, which has been so gratifying to the members of the local committee that efforts are being made to secure many additional subscriptions by November. Dr. E. P. Roberts, treasurer of the Greater New York Committee, forwarded to Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, a few days ago, checks amounting to $2,000, and Mr. Scott was informed that there was a balance in the Fifth Avenue Bank. When the local campaign closes the officials at Tuskegee Institute will be sent a list containing the name of each subscriber, the amount subscribed, and an itemized account of receipts and expenditures. No expenses have been incurred in conducting the campaign since the latter part of June. Those who have not made good their pledges or who wish to subscribe are directed to send their subscription to, Dr. E. P. Roberts, 242 West 53d street, New York City. SKILLED NEGRO MASONS STAY, WHITES LET GO. (Special to THE NEW YORK ARC.) PHILADELPHIA, PA.—An unusual sight for a Northern city is to be seen on Lancaster avenue, at the intersection at 38th and 42nd where expert colored bricklayers are laying the brick the pressed brick front of a garage being erected for Mr. Engle, a prominent business man of the city. Jones L, Freeman, a Negro bricklayer, originally from Concord, N. C. but of late years working at his trade in Tampa, Fla, was hired by Mr. Engle at the same time that a number of white workmen were employed. When the men donned overalls to start work and saw Freeman also ready for business they objected to working with a Negro Mr. Engle, however, had become convinced of Freeman's skill, and when he was assured by the colored man that other colored workmen of equal skill could be secured the objecting whites were informed that they work with Freeman or go. They went. And so it is that the artistic pressed brick front is being erected by Negro workmen. On the side and rear walls, being built of common brick, some white men are employed. HAMPTON INSTITUTE BEGINS 49th YEAR. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACA.) HAMPTON, Va.—Major Allen Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute (successor to Dr. Robert R. Moton, now principal of Tuskegee), is enthusiastic over the way Hampton has begun its forty-ninth year of activity for the training of boys and girls to become leaders in community building. He says: "We had to turn away more students than ever before. A great many boys and girls who made application had to be refused, on account of the lack of accommodations at Hampton. Next year we shall have our new dormitory, James Hall, fully completed. About one-third of it is almost finished now, and the other two-thirds will be ready next year. "I think there is an improvement in the student material this year over last year—yes, a marked improvement. The young men are better developed physically and mentally. More students than ever before passed the Hampton examinations. They also passed better examinations. We have less than half a dozen—less than four—who failed absolutely. There is hopefulness in the idea that the schools on the outside are giving students better preparation than ever before. Our military organization was under way the first day. It was worked right along with the academic organization. The boys fell into companies and moved to dinner the very first day. We had to move to a new location before the students arrived. Consequently the boys fell right into their places when they came to Hampton. To Improve the Drilling. "We hope to improve the drilling from year to year. We take up our drill with the individual. We advance from the individual to the squad, and from the squad to the company, and from the company to the battalion. We hope this year to give more time to individual men, and so the whole battalion will be better instructed than ever before. "We are fortunate to have with us, from week to week, capt. Adelno Gibson, of the Coast Artillery School at Fort Monroe, who has for the last two years given us excellent service. This year we have plans for much greater things than before. Captain Gibson will probably bring with him some other Fort Monroe officers, who will help in military operations." The total enrollment is well over 1,300. The boarding department is larger than ever before—924 boys and girls, exclusive of the teachers and other school workers. The entering class numbers over 300 and has representatives from many States. The Whittier School, which is Hampton's community day school and training school under the principalship of Miss Sarah J. Walter, has also opened with a fair-sized enrollment. Among the new colored teachers-amil workers are Mrs. Ursula S. Collinga, Mrs Florence P. Herbert, Miss Grace Stewart, Clarence A. Atkins, William H. Kefie, Esa F. Roan and Lorenzo C. White. HUGHES COLORED CLUB (Special to The New York Times) Corsica, N. Y.—Negro voters of Steuben county are actively working for the election of former Governor Charles E. Hughes, Republican candidate for President, and to that end have organized a Steuben County Hughes Colored Club. The organization was formed at 168 East Market street, with the following officers: Robert Jones of Addison, president; H. H. Brown of Corning, vice-president; William F. Mann of Corning, treasurer; Henry errine Fredericks of Corning, secretary; Fred Wert of Corning, assistant secretary, Associated in the organizing of the club was the Rev. Z. A. Jones, and more than three hundred voters have enrolled as members of the club. HOWARDS REFUSE TO LEAVE PULLMAN BERTH. (Special to THE NEW YORK AP.) JACKSON, Miss.—Returning from New York to their home in this city, Attorney and Mrs. Perry W, Howard occupied a lower herb in the Pullman. On the complaint of two white Texans occupying upper herbs in the same car, the train conductor attempted to force them to leave the Pullman and take seats in the slay coach. This demand was made about 10 o'clock at night shortly after the train had crossed the line into Kentucky. Standing upon their rights as interstate passengers, the Howardis refused to make a voluntary exit, declaring that if they were moved it would have to be by force. The colored woman who is convalescing from a spell of illness or from a serious operation, and whose financial condition makes it difficult for her to secure the comforts necessary to tier condition, no longer had to depend on charity or on kindly discharged friends. Through the National League on Urban Conditions Among New Yorkers 2003 Seventh avenue, of which home Kinkle Jones is executive secretary, there is being maintained at 55 Nassau avenue, White Plains, N.

Although hiltop, the name is from the home, a beautiful rural Plains, which, while and healthful comfort, was not quite access as the present house was made the latter, but the home having been 1916. Mrs. Martha Harvey, retired nurse, a graduate from the Boston Hospital Training School for Nurses, is the superintendent of "Valley Home" and under her capable and skilled management the home has provided to those women who have given birth to children. Her experience as a nurse nurses has especially fitted her to the needs of the home. She is a dedicated nurse and principal and principal in an art necessary in providing for the running of the home. She has three assistants—Mrs. Lucinda Norcom, who looks after the kitchen, a most important part of the home's operation, a maid, and a handy man of work. Financed by Burke Foundation. The home is financed by the Burke Foundation, of which Dr. Frederick Brush is the directing head, but all expenditures are made through the National Urban League. Convalescents seeking admission must apply to the office of the Urban League, and patients are sent out to the home on Tuesdays and Fridays. They are met at the by someone from the home and taken out in an auto. All applicants are examined at the League office before being sent to the home, the examination being made just prior to their going to the home by Dr. A. S. Reed to the E. H. examining physicians, Mrs. Harris takes note of their condition, weight etc, when they reach the home, and they are weighed on leaving. No limit is 'set for their stay, but the average period of convalescence is about two weeks. However, the patient stays at the home until able to take up her regular duties. The expense of operating the home from its opening, June, 1915, to the end of the fiscal year, September 30, 1915, was $1,885.86. For the year ending September 30, 1916, the amount of $4,606.85 was expended, a total for the fifteen months of $6,492.71. This money is supplied by Dr. Frederic Brush of the Brush Foundation as requisition is made upon him by Secretary Jones of the National Urban League, and all of the affairs of the home are handled through the Urban League office. In addition, Dr. Brush gives his service to the home as consulted by a physician, and holds himself in readiness to any call made upon him in a professional capacity by Mrs. Harris in behalf of his patients. He has taken great personal interest in the work and many of his suggestions, carried out, have added to the comfort and well-being of all the folks at the home. More Than 200 Patients at Home Approximately 225 patients have been cared for at the home since its opening, there being accommodations for twelve at one time. When an Age representative visited the home last week (there were eight patients enjoying themselves under pleasant conditions. Only one was undisposed, the others all being present at the bountifully supplied dinner table partaking heartily of the splendidly cooked dinner. Being Friday, it was fish day, and the menu consisted of broiled whole weakliness, rice, snap beans and beets fresh from the farm, bread, tea and pudding with hard sauce. Not a woman failed to perform her duty to the bill of fare—nor, for that matter, did Mr. Secretary once and The Acts man become dinner guests that day. The comfort of the home is expected to patients on recommendation from hospitals, physicians or other individuals, and there is no interminable red tape to be unwound. The only provisions are that patients must be recovering from non-comunicable diseases or from surgical operations. The rooms are large, airy and light. Three large dormitories each accommodate four single beds, and each dormitory has from two or four large windows. The house is heated by hot air from a large furnace in the basement, register being found even in the one hall room. In the basement, in addition to the heating plant, there is storage room for a large quantity of two sizes of coal for furnace and kitchen range use, and there is also a large rock room, cut off from the basement, used as a cold storage for food supplies, both staple and vegetables, in which the natural temperature is always at a degree that makes easy the preservation of foodstuffs. To Receive Men Patients: Hertgtofore there has been accommodation only for women, but provision is now being made for the accommodation of men convalescents. In fact, the home is about ready, save for the heating arrangements. A large and well-lit house on the home premises, formerly used as a garage, has been converted into a men's dormitory. A bath room has been installed, a sitting room arranged and beds arranged for from four to six patients. Mr. Jones and Mrs. Harris are hoping that this part of the work will be successful. As a start, four men patients will be received. A separate dining room, in the main building, will be arranged for the men, but the same menu will be served to all patients. Fresh vegetables, are supplied to the home each day by Dr. Brush from the farm of the Burke Foundation Home for Convalescents, which is also located at White Plains. All applications for admission must be made to the office of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, 2303 Seventh avenue, telephones 781 and 782. FORM FATHER'S CLUB TO SAVE THE BOYS. The fathers of Greater New York are being gotten together in the organization of a Fathers' Club by C. C. Allison, Jr., of the National Urban League, the purpose being to project such plans as will lead to a diminution of the number of children arraigned before the children's courts on charges of juvenile delinquency. The club has been formed and the next meeting will be held Thursday evening, October 19, in the rooms of the National Urban League, 2303 Seventh avenue. Mr. Allison states that during 1914 173 colored boys were arraigned in the Manhattan Children's Court. During 1915-the year 192 boys arraigned. While the number of colored boys showed an increase, there was a decrease in the number of white boys arraigned. As secretary, in charge of the Big Brother work, in the Manhattan and Bronx children's courts, Mr. Allison is loved that much of the delinquency Figure 4. the parent is providing the proper environment leads to improper association. Through the Fathers' Club it is hoped to develop scientific and practical study of the boy problem, and in this way reduce the number of cases of colorful boys brought before the children's court. MILITANT METHODS BY (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Resorting to militant methods, Mrs. Sadie C. Cole, 459 East 29th street, this city, forced the proprietor of a dairy lunch room at 139 South Broadway to serve her and a companion, after he had tried several subterfuges to keep from doing so. Mrs. Cole is a young matron of attractive appearance, refined and cultured, prominent in church and club work. In company with Mrs. S. B. Strickland she had called on the chief of police to consult with him in regard to some settlement work in which she was interested. Returning from the chief's office, she entered the lunch room and asked for a last visit to milk. The proprietor told her it was only two bottles. As other customers were in the place drinking from glasses, Mrs. Cole would not accept his statement. Then he told her that colored folks were not served in his place, and the glass of milk would cost her 50 cents. She ordered it served. He wanted her then to pay the 50 cents before he served her. His attitude so exasperated Mrs. Cole that she decided to pursue a different policy, and in a second or so the proprietor began to dodge glassware of every description which was being aimed at his head with no uncertain accuracy. Of course, great excitement ensued. Policemen arrived on the scene and the scared and rattle proprietor wanted Mrs. Cole arrested. But the officers, who had been informed of the circumstances, declared that since they had not seen Mrs. Cole do anything wrong they could not arrest her. The police officers also informed the lunch room man that he had no right to refuse to serve Mrs. Cole or any other person, and as Mrs. Cole refused to leave until she was served, the proprietor came across with the buttermilk, for which he was paid at the rate of 5 cents a-glass. A number of white people in the crowd congratulated-Mrs. Cole, among the number being a leading business man of the city, who offered to stand treat for all the milk she and her companion could drink. CHICAGO WOMEN TO HELP HUGHES WIN (Special To THE NEW YORK POST) (Special to THE NEW YORK-AGE.) Chicago, Ill.—There has been opened in Chicago, Ill., the Colored Women's Hughes Republican headquarters to aid the National Committee in reaching the sixty thousand colored women in the State States who can cast their votes for President. These headquarters are in charge of the following well-known colored women; Chairman; Mrs. Elizabeth Lundsy Davis; vice-chairman, Mrs. Irene Goins; chairman of Bureau of Publicity, Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams; secretary, Mrs. Ada McKinley; organizer, Miss Ella G.

RECORD OF CHAS. S. WHITMAN AS GOVERNOR IS IMPRESSIVE Has Shown More Friendly Interest Colored Citizens Than Any Governor in Twenty Years. Governor Whitman Has Evinced Willingness to Address Negro Gatherings—His Broad Views on Race Question—More Colored Men Now Holding Jobs Than During Previous Administrations. "The old dream of a Negro government in another land was a foolish dream. You are here; you are part and parcel of America, and there can be no progress in which you are not considered." Gov. Charles Whitman is the author of the above quotation. These few words give one an insight as to what the chief executive of the State of New York thinks about the part the Negro should play as a full-fledged citizen of the United States. Usually it is possible to determine what a politician really thinks by what he says in public. There are, of course, notable exceptions; for instance, the present occupant of the White House, who, while posing as a second Abraham Lincoln and even talks "New Freedom" in his sleep, takes every opportunity to humiliate and keep the struggling Negro down, or rather "to keep him in his place"—to use the language of those of the Woodrow Wilson type. Comparisons, they say, are odious. But this is drawing a contrast. So wholly unlike are Charles S. Whitman and Woodrow Wilson in their ideas on the Negro question that it would be impossible to make a comparison. Mr. Whitman has uttered more words of good cheer to the colored people since he has been at Albany than any Governor of New York State in twenty years. Mr. Wilson has shown, by word or deed, more indifference and contempt for the welfare of the Negro since he took up residence in New York. Notable Fling Presentation. A few weeks later Gov. Whitman was found making history for the Negro addressing the first regiment of As a rule the colored citizen is overlooked after he has helped the office-seeker to position and power. Somehow there is always an excuse given showing how deeply the office-holder regrets his inability to be present, invariably due to "a prior engagement." Take the case of John Purro Mitchel When he sought the nomination of Mayor of New York he was asked to inform men and ask their support. Since his election (he is now in his third year) he has always found it necessary to "respectfully decline" all invitations to speak extended by colored people, al- 1 THE MISSING MAN GOV. CHARLES S.

At this meeting, which was known as the Amenia Conference, he declared himself unqualifiedly in favor of giving the colored man equal right. Notable Fing Presentation. A few weeks later Gov. Whitman was found making history for the Negro by addressing the first regiment of soldiers in the New York City Infantry. In presenting the flags to the colored regiment Gov. Whitman said in part: 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. All who have been interested in the recruiting of the 19th Infantry, National Guard of New York, are confident that the men who have volunteered so willingly and gladly will be true to the record made by the many of your race who have worn the army blue, who ```markdown ``` in the hour of danger, were never found wanting in courage and devotion. Refused to Heed Protests of White Officers. The 15th Regiment was recruited at the instance of Gov. Whitman, who issued an order for the formation of this military organization. While there has been the usual "barber-shop argu- muster shoot who should receive credit for making the regiment possible, the fact remains that there was no regiment would have been had it not been for the courageous action taken by Gov. Whitman last May. Although a law had been passed by the State legislature during the Sulzer administration authorizing the organization of the colored regiment, the "social equality" bugaboo raised by white officers temporarily prevented those working in the interest of the movement to carry their plans to a successful issue. The colored regiment is only a few months old, but the race has already derived much financial benefit from its existence. Four men are employed at the army, located at Seventh avenue and 133rd street, at $1,400 a year. They are an armburger, engineer, janitor and assistant engineer. A laborer is employed at an annual salary of $1,200. Col. William Hayward, the popular counsel, is now interested in establishing another armory in Brooklyn for those who live in the Brooklyn district, and a similar number of colored men will be employed, who will receive similar salaries. A feature just inaugurated in the 15th Regiment is an employment bureau, and an effort being made to secure good positions for members of the organization, commercial houses and other business institutions. Several men have been already placed. During the two months Col. Hayward was recruiting his segment fourteen men were employed and paid from $2 to $3 a day. Removable for Mixed Bouts. Gov. Whitman is solely responsible for mixed bouts in this State. Had it not, been for his insistence that the Boxing Commissioner resend the order colored and white boxers would not be permitted to meet in the fistic arena to-day. Strong opposition was met by Gov. Whitman from many quarters against rescinding this obnoxious rule, and some of the leading daily papers bitterly opposed mixed bouts. Even the majority of members of the State Boxing Commission looked with distaste on the revival of mixed bouts. However, Gov. Whitman, who had declared the rule, unconstitutional and un-American, insisted that colored and white men should be compete in the prize runs. This new order of things has put hundreds of dollars into the pockets of fighters. As District Attorney, Mr. Whitman endeared himself to the colored people of New York by protecting them against police persecution. One of his first acts as District Attorney was to appoint C. W. McDougall an assistant in his office. His most important appointment as Governor has been that of Charles W. Anderson to the position of Supervisor of Agriculture. More colored men are now at the pay roll at Albany than under any other-previous administration. His Great Speech on Booker T. Wash ington. That Gov. Whitman keeps in close touch with what the Negro is doing and thinking was shown at the bazaar given last May at Manhattan Casino in behalf of the Booker, T. Washington Memorial Fund. On this occasion, when speaking to the late Tuskegeean, he said in part: "I believe that history will write the name of Booker, T. Washington among the great names of our time. Among the things for which we of to-day may take credit is the fact that we recognized his worth while he lived, and the men of his own time are willing and more than willing to express to-day their admiration for the man and their appreciation of his great service to his people and to all people. "It is happily the case that Booker T. Washington's success is not to be explained away by mere genius. Certain temperamental gifts he owed to God, but the secret of his greatness is that he found a special service that led him to count the day lost that witnessed no manifestation of sublime unselfishness Learns From Life of Tuskegeean. "To this day I cannot read of his boyhood without being profoundly moved. The hunger and cold of the tumble-down cabin, the drudgery in the salt furnaces, the dark days in the coal mine, the learning of his A B C's at night, and the long, terrible 500-mile journey across country to a school of which he had heard and of which he had dreamed through his years of toil.

Washington, more than any other one thing, is courage and a tremendous fixity of purpose. In the early days at Tuskegee it may be remembered that he decided upon brick-making as one of the industries. It was a decision that went hard with his people, for to them education second a miracle that would lift them above labor, and the wet and discomfort of the clay pits was peculiarly distasteful. "The first brick kiln failed, and a second, after weeks of work, was found wanting in some vital particular. A third, on the eye of success, fell down, and all the discontent and bitterness that had been gathering broke in a storm. Booker Washington went into town with his watch, the one thing of value that he possessed, pawned it for fifteen dollars, built a fourth brick kiln, and out of the prismm sprang one of the great industries of the school. "It is a lesson that can be studied with profit by people of every race and every color. Genius comes to few, but greatness is in the grasp of all who choose to make the battle of life without cowardice, without indecision, without thought of surrender to the obstacles that may stand between them and the heights upon which their eyes are set. Race Problem Has Not Been Solved. "It is too much, indeed, to say that the race problem has been solved. It is not in a day or a year that we will win freedom from the difficulties that formed through a century of greed and oppression, and intensified by the quarrels of politicians and a terrible war that set one million brothers at each other's throats. But, at least, if the problem has not been solved, Booker I Washington made the one true solution. "The work at Tuskegee had values that were not used that little shaking community of to his own people. He was the first to strike the big, full note of industrial training and vocational guidance, proving principles that are now dominating the educational thought of the whole country. "A great monument, in all justice, should be erected to Booker T. Washington, and in the building of this monument the white race should be permitted to share, for this man belonged to the United States—to America itself. But the monument he most deserves, the memorial that he would have most loved is not to be chiseled from marble or wrought in imperishable bronze. His memory should be immortalized in the nobler lives of the people for whom he loved and to whom he pointed a way. It is the strength and the千克ness and the strength of a democracy that it is just what the people choose to make it. It can be lifted to heaven itself or it can sink to the very pit. It can give liberty, justice and equality the fullest possible expression, or it can imprison opportunity and put greed in power." "You who are before me are as much partners in this great adventure as though your fathers had been among those who first put foot upon Plymouth Rock, and the success or failure of democracy is every whit as dependent upon your patriotism as though the signatures of your borecars had been put to the very Declaration of Independence itself. Never lose sight of the great truth that citizenship is not merely a boon, but a task to be performed. Let no habit of life or thought, no burden of inherited prejudice, blind you to the greatness of your opportunity, the importance of your obligation. "Evil and unfairness have not been banished from the national life by any means, for the struggle, for equal justice is the struggle everlasting. There is this difference between the oppressions of democracy and the tyrannies of a monarchy. In America it is the right and the duty of the people to fight these oppressions, and if they persist it is because we let them persist. The Finest Protest Against Injustice. "If the life of Booker T. Washington means anything to his people, it should mean that there is no reward to be won except by proof of merit, and that the finest protest against injustice lies in continual demonstration of a race's capacity to make noble use of opportunity. "The old dream of a Negro government in another land was a foolish dream. You are here; you are part and parcel of America, and there can be no progress in which you are not considered. The greatest monument that you can erect to Booker T. Washington is the recognition of your duties as citizens and Americans and the whole-souled fulfillment of these obligations in such manner as not only to prove your worth but to prove the wisdom of the great democratic experiment." In his travels through the State your correspondent found that the majority of the re-election candidates were of Charles S. Whitman, his opponent for gubernatorial honors Justice Samuel Seabury, the Democratic nominee. From New York to Buffalo this condition obtains. The consensus of opinion among colored voters is that as Mr. Whitman has shown an inclination to be friendly toward the Negro during his first term as Governor, his evidences of friendship will be greater if returned to Albany, when he will have an opportunity to give reliable proof of his interest in the job. For more, the belief priva- that this is no true success of the national ticket. So the slogan is, "Vote for Hughes and Whitman." ROCHESTER N Y Rochester, N.

NDaymanx, S. C—The colored people of this State are.making a determined fort to raise ‘money embugh among themselves to: secure the supplemental aid given to Negro edweation by the Rosenwald Fund. To this end’ an edu- cational rally was held at Bushy Pood ‘Church, the Rev. O. J. McPherson, pas- tor, on October 1, at which time Jesse 0. Thomas, principal of the Voorhees Normal and Industrial Institute, deliv- ‘zed the following address on “The Sign of the Times”: It {s rather significant to me, in God's love for man, that, for thé years and years of time that have passed to that reat beyond, during all of these vast expanses of years there has ap- peared in comparatively each decade an individual who could see the signs of not only that time, but the signs, or the prospects, of the times to come, peophetiowas It were. You men and’ women of Bushy Pond ‘Church and tn this community, can do Ukewise: It was John the Baptist, ragged and uncomely, who cried out “Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make His path straight.” ere the coming of the Christ. And it was only to those who accepted the prophecy did salva- on come. Tho story of those who did not is well told elsewhere, and with which you are fully familiar, ~ Patrick Henry, in his time, saw the signs of the Umes, when he cried aloft to the heavens, an It were, echoing down to our present day and far far beyond, “I know not what course ojhers may take, but as for me, give sie liberty or give me death,” fore- seoing.that war with England and the American colonies was inevitable, Such meu -e4-Robert Emmett the-Irlai pa= trio. and Frederick Douglass, slave, reformer, statesman scholar saw the aigns of the times of their day. Abra- bam Lincoln saw the signs of the times when he stated that “unity cannot exiat to Whe same governniént with part sieve and part free.” ‘The nation, failing to heed this Injunction, the Civil War followed as a consequence,- Brummond saw the signs of the time when he wrote that masterpiece, “The Greatest Thing in the World—Love." And though Paul propounded this thought ‘a thousand or two years ago, even now the people do not hear the prophets when they repeat it, and man hates man, country hates country, Staten hate no regard for each other or for ‘the greed Union, and.emptres lay men at the rate of thousands a day. Lord! Teach us to seo the signa of the day— the signs of the times! Booker T. Washington recognized the signs of his tlme when he advocated Industrial preparedness and economi¢ freedom as a means of productive citl- zenship. The Tuskegee graduates and thousands of others who were con- ¥erted to his theory are living testi- monials to the wisdom of his pleading “to Wehold the signs of the times.” Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest Ilv- ing American, saw military prepared- ness long ere other men had grown to manhood, as It were, to walk in the Rough Rider's footsteps, It was he, in his address at the Pan-American Ex- position In California in 1914, when this country seemed ‘at peace with all na- Uons, Mexico included, recognizing the elgh of the times, warned the entire nation, as Ezekiel of old, of the neces- sity of military preparedness as the only means of a safe guarantee of neu- teallty. Now it appears to me that we the Negroes of this Southland, must NOW see the signa of our tlme—tn the lan- ruage of the Psalmist, that “the earth is full of ‘Thy richea” We of this Southland are an agrecultural people, for the most part. We live by the sweat of our brow, in the tilling of the foil. In almost every instance, take from us this -opportunity to get from the earth some of these riches, It would mean, hardships, it would mean de- Privation to ua. ‘ Now, friends, {t appears that some one Is going to take that opportunity from you, from me, from us. For we are all members of the same race, and ‘What affects one of us affects all of us.

According to The Louisville (Ky.) News, colored musicians in that city are receiving very poor financial support from the public, and the result is a sort of general exodus from the Falls City of the disciples of Orpheus. In fact, it is declared that unless conditions are speedily relieved there will not be a musician of ability left in Louisville. Just how broad an assertion this is I am not prepared to say. But, from what information is, at hand, my impression is that this condition refers specifically to the cabaret theatrical and dance musician. It is hardly probable that a city with the elements of culture and intellectual development as are contained in Louisville will show so great a lack of appreciation of musical artists who maintain a high standard of ambition and accomplishment. A student of the higher forms of music is not so apt, however, to be influenced by the lack of monetary reward, and so it would hardly be true that the concert artist, the capable church organist and singer, and the consecrated teacher—the developer of musical taste and ability—are to be found among those making up the musician's heira. This impression is further borne out by statements concerning the amounts paid musicians for filling dance engagements, the cutting off of a theatrical orchestra because of the necessity to reduce expenses, and by the copy of a telegram from one of the departed musicians who went to Chicago, which tells of his engagement in the Windy City as pianist-accompanist at a salary of $17.50 per week. The final words of the telegram to a friend in Louisville were "Good-bye forever." In commenting on the movement of these performers, The News attributes as a reason "that so many 'Ham-Fats,' who play for a sack of tobacco and a glass of beer, have ruined the town for good musicians who try to make a living. There is not a pianist in the city of Louisville (colored) who makes $15 per week . . . not a cornet player who gets as much as $10 per week . . . not a drummer gets over $8." A list of fifteen musicians, including sopranos, cornetists, pianists, drummers, entertainers and violinists, is printed, five of whom have already gone, the others getting ready to go to points from New Orleans to New York. --- Roland Hayes, tenor, of Boston, sang in Monmouth, N. J., Thursday evening, October 5, for the benefit of the colored branch of the Young Women's Christian Association. The recital was held at the Hillside Auditorium, and an audience of several hundred, colored and white, enjoyed his artistic singing. Mr. Hayes has recently been doing Chautaqua work with the Dr. Dr. Dwight Hillis, and this opportunity appears to have benefited him through the acquirement of experience and increased strength. It was a very satisfactory financial arrangement, also, I understand, his emoluments accruing to something like $75 per week for the entire Chautaqua season. Mrs. MaBelle White Williams of Brooklyn appeared as a reader, giving two numbers and an encore, and Mrs. Daisy Tapley of New York was at the piano, for Mr. Hayes' numbers. The program was as follows: Fleet Street Memorial First A. M. E. Zion Church, Bridge street, Brooklyn, N. Y., was packed to its doors on Thursday night, October 5, the occasion being a concert at which Harry T. Burleigh, the eminent singer and composer, sang two programmed numbers and two encores, the remainder of the program being given by talent of varying degrees of ability and development. Mr. Burleigh sang with consummate art and gave great pleasure to the vast audience, but I regret he did not see fit to allow the folks to hear him in his compositions. He might have been kind and given at least one as an encore, anyway. He sang the Prologue from Leoncavallo's Pagliacci and Damrosch's Danny Denver. One of his encores was Landon Ronald's Southern Song, a work of surpassing beauty, which lost nothing from Mr. Burleigh's interpretation. Charles H. Waters sang that beautiful aria from Gounod's Faust, Salve Dimora, and Rosamond Johnson's Morning, Noon and Night. For encores he gave another of Johnson's songs, The Awakening, and Will Marion Cook's Negro classic, Exhortation. Robert G. Sawyer, basso, opened the program with Pinsuti's heroic song, The Bugler, and closed the program with Watson's song, Ty Sentinel I Am I His daughter, Miss Victoria Sawyer, played the accompaniments. Miss Harriet Johnson, evidently a local favorite, sang two contralto solos, Carmena, a Spanish waltz song by Wilson, and Song of the Soul, from The Climax. She was the recipient of a beautiful bouquet after her first number. She brought the flowers on with her for her second number, but very carefully laid them on the piano before she started to sing. This was my first opportunity to hear Mme. Fannie Belle DeKnight, and it is a pleasure to chronicle the fact that she was on time. She gave a Shakespearean number, Queen Catherine to Henry VIII, and responded to an encore with a dialect delineation, Miss Betty. Her second programmed appearance called for more dialect, but she changed this and gave, by request, it was announced, The Wife's Revenge. Another encore was responded to with a reading in dialect. And it was very plainly apparent not only that the people enjoyed hearing the dialect numbers, but that Mme. DeKnight enjoyed giving them. Whatever of stilted utterance or constrained movement was discernible in the dramatic numbers disappeared with the beginning of her delightful characterizations in dialect, and the audience swung with her from one range of mood to another. A number of criticisms might be made of her work in Shakespearean and dramatic reading, but her work in dialect is one of continuous pleasure. A string orchestra of young girls and boys, with a white instructor, who played two violin solos in a most mediocre manner, played several numbers, which, other than they offered a chance to exploit the children, might better have been left off the program. --- The formal opening of the Music School Settlement, 104-6 West 131st street, J. Rosamond Johnson, director, held its formal opening of the 1916-17 season on the night of October 5. This occasion marked the introduction to the school's clientele of Sidney Woodward, tenor, who is now a member of the faculty. Mr. Woodward selected for his numbers the incitative from Handel's Messiah, Comfort Ye; Cadman's I Love You, and d'Hardelot's Three Green Bonnets. These songs he rendered with all the artistry for which he is noted, and they served to show with splendid effect the pure tonal quality of his voice. The trio for two violins and piano, Suite 7, op. 79, by Mowskowski, was to have been played by Felix Weir and Hall Johnson, violinists, and Mrs. Søgla Hawkins, pianist, Mr. Weir was unavoidably prevented from being present, and it was a delightful incident of the evening when David Mannes, the concert master and teacher, volunteered to substitute. Mr. Mannes has just resigned from the directorship of the white Music School Settlement on East 3d street, of which he was one of the founders, to devote all his time to teaching and to concert work. Miss Ethel Richardson played the Rhapsodie, No 4, op. 119, by Brahms, and Maurice Ravel's Ondine, in both of which numbers she has been coached during the summer by Percy Grainger, the Australian pianist and composer. Eugene Mikell of Charleston, S. C., who goes to the Bordentown, N. J., Training School as instructor in music, gave a saxophone solo, Mrs. Lula Robinson-Jones sang Chadwick's Danza and J. Rosamond Johnson sang three songs. Charles Burroughs, another addition to the faculty, gave a Shakespearean reading, and an instrumental trio was given by Miss Cecelia Butler, pianist; Master Willie Butler, violin, and W. H. Butler, bandolin. Mr. Mannes, Elbridge L. Adams, president, and Director Johnson spoke of the activities of the school and appealed for support. An informal gathering after close of the program enjoyed several additional numbers from Mr. Woodward, Mr. Johnson and the Exposition Four male quartet. Major Walter H. Loving, late director of the Philippine Constabulary Band, now retired, and Mrs. Loving, with Captain and Mrs. Woods, were among those remaining. Thompson to Introduce Irene Orchestra. The most interesting offering of the musical season will be the appearance of the Irene Orchestra at the big band concert, October 20, at Manhattan Casino. This unique band from the "Land of the Mocking Bird" will play the Cuban and Spanish dances in their native style. The instruments include guardron, flutes, contra bass, guitars, cello, violins and numerous instruments of percussion. The big band will play a selection from Tosca, a group of old songs by colored companies, "Pump and Splendor," by Elger. Music School Settlement Music School Settlement Notes. The Juvenile Orchestra had its first rehearsal on Saturday, October 7, and will continue to meet every Saturday afternoon promptly at 1 o'clock. The Young Performers Dramatic Club will give the "Boo! Boo!" playlet, on Friday evening, October 20, at 8:30 Dancing after the performance. Announcement of the first meeting of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society and the first Sunday afternoon music lecture will soon be made. ```markdown ``` AT THE THEATRES. (BY LUCIEN H. WHITE.) With Monday's opening at the Lincoln Theatre, West 135th street, of the Lincoln Stock Company, presenting a big Broadway success, New York, as usual, is showing the way to the rest of the country. In no other city in the country has any theatrical management attempted the production of big dramatic successes with stock companies composed of colored actors and actresses until this city blazed the way. Now there are two New York theatres which have suspended the policy of vaudeville and photo plays and are depending practically altogether upon the Appeal of the Drama for the people's support. Present indications are that they will receive it. The Lafayette Theatre, under lease to the Elite Amusement Corporation, at which the Quality Amusement Corporation has for some time been presenting the Lafayette Stock Co., finds it no longer an experiment. The Lafayette venture is a pronounced success, and other fields, and at present is operating three companies, playing Washington, D. C., and Baltimore, Md., in addition to New York City. The Lincoln Stock Co. under direction of Manager Billie Burke, is composed of a number of well-known stage favorites, several of whom have already gained reputations as capable exponents of the histrionic art Edward Sterling Wright, whose recent appearance on the boards in the title role of Shakespeare's Othello created much favorable comment; is with the the Lincoln company, and he is associated with Creighton Thompson, formerly a Lafayette player, Hilda Offley Thompson James Burris, or song-writing associate Michel Patry R G Doggett, the concert imparsure and promoter, Anthony D. Byrd, a stand-by from the Black Patti days, and a number of others of more or less recent growth. Detailed analysis of the work of the company can wait until the members have had a chance to smooth the rough edges and oil the creaking hinges. It is quite probable that it will be a successful venture, both artistically and financially. Manager Burke has had wide and varied experience in all departments of the theatre, in front, on the boards and behind the scenes. And he has also been a prolific play-writer. So that with his directing influence the Lincoln players ought to have little trouble in attaining to the full development of their ability, Mrs. Mary Downs, owner of the Lincoln Theatre, has confidence in the venture and in the people who are to be the instruments of its success. She has capable liquefianten in Mr. Burke, in John Burke; the house manager, and in the various members of the house staff and the stock company. This confidence is shown by the amount of money she has invested and by the liberal stage equipment which she has furnished the Lincoln Stock Co. LAFAYETTE THEATRE. "THE CONSPIRACY." A Police-Detective Drama in 3 acts, by Robert Baker and John Emerson. Presented by the Quality Assessment Center, Rose Larry, at the Lafayette Theatre, Bugsane Remora, Manager, by the Lafayette Stock Players. Week of October 9-14. CAST. Winthrop Clavoring ...

Laura Bowman Police, Detectives, etc. The players of the Lafayette Stock Co., engaged this week in the production of "The Conspiracy," have a splendid vehicle with which to maintain the reputation already acquired. In fact, this play deserves to be ranked with the most pretentious offerings of the company, and the group of players, headed by Abbie Mitchell, Laura Bowman, Tom Brown and Walker Thompson are well qualified to measure up to, its most exacting requirements. The fight against police graft in New York City is the basis for the play, and the recent life of this movement lends added interest and strength to the work of the players. There are many tense moments in the play, which deals not only with the machinations of a corrupt police department, but hings in as well the work of a powerful secret organization of criminals known as "The Scarlet Band." These situations are well taken care of, calling, as they do, for the very best efforts of such capable and well-equipped artists as Tom Brown, Walker Thompson, Henry Williams, Baxley L. Martin, Eric Moss, Laura Oman and Abbie Mitchell. People are well supported by the other members of the cast, the result being a well-balanced performance which is being appreciated each night by large and enthusiastic audiences. For next week Manager Eugene Elmore and the Lafayette players are offering another grappling play, dealing with the life of the underworld, "The Lure," by George Scarborough. LINCOLN THEATRE. "THE COUNTRY BOY."—A play in four acts by Edgar Seltman. Presented by the Hughson Amusement Co. under priors of Billie Burke, general manager; John Dempsey, house manager; by the Lincoln Pitchers. Week of October 9-14 CAST. (In order of their appearance) Hiram Helkap, a leading citizen Hezekiah Jenka, his secretary Lonel Monjague Mrs. Wilson, Tom's mother Miriam Helkap, Hibbard Brown Jane Kalkap, Lilly Brown Tim Wilson, a Country Roy.

Jeannette Jordan Herman Lait, a star boarder... DeKoven Thompson "A Country Boy," described as a play of freshness and charm, which was original presented at the Liberty Theatre, New York City, affords the Lincoln stock players a rather pleasing opportunity for their first bow to the colored theatregoers of New York. It is espejo-Jones and Andrew Madison were the life sketch of the experience of so many boys of the race who come to this big city from smaller towns and from rural districts and become enamored of the "bright lights." Not all of them develop the will and purpose to cut loose from them and get back to a more suitable environment, as did "Tom Wilson" assisted by the disillusioned "Merle," but the play at least affords a chance for them to view themselves from an outside angle. In the work of the company during this first week, Ardelle Mitchell Taylor, Edward Sterling Wright and Jeannette Jordan are showing the most finished form. Creighton Thompson shows possibilities of development, James Burris gets all possible out of his part, Lilly Brwn makes a sweet but unimpressive little country maiden. Hilda Offley, a would-be prima donna, tried out her voice by playing a little up-to-date ragtime on the piano, and R. G. Doggett could have improved upon his character as a blast man about town. Splendid audiences welcomed the Lincoln players, and although the people found lots of untimely amusement in the preparations made for suicide by the country boy who had failed in the big city, and who was discouraged and despondent, they also showed commendable appreciation of the good work of the members of the cast. The orchestra, under J. Dewitt Martin, is not up to the standard, but it works faithfully when called upon.

Sporting Notes (By ALEX WATER8.) PUGILISM. Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue—Last Friday night in the star bout of the evening, Nero Chink, the Porto Rican middleweight and the coming middleweight champion, met Dave Kurtz, the hard-hitting middleweight of New York. The bout was the second meeting of these two boys, and as in the previous bout the Cuban fighter demonstrated to those present that Kurtz, who is a very good fighter, is not in his class. Chink just played with his opponent and was the aggressor all through the ten rounds. He used every conceivable punch used in the prize ring today, and several times during the bout he would stagger the white boy boxer punches to the black boy boxer, made Kurtz book very oooh-when he would jab and then upper-arm, and several times the colored boy jabbed Kurtz without a return. Chink left the ring unmarked, but Kurtz was very much battered up. Weights—Chink 157; Kurtz 152. Preston Broun, the Philadelphia lightweight, who seems to fight better the longer he stays in the ring, met Paddy Burns in the other ten round bout. Broun is considered the clearest colored boy fighting in this country, and he had little trouble in gaining the decision over Burns, who was simply smothered with punches to the face and body. Broun, who is a past master at in-fighting, made Burns look very foolish when he tried his hand at infighting. Weights—Broun, 132; Burns, 137. Clermont A. C., Brooklyn—Last Monday evening Preston Broun, the lightweight of Philadelphia and the boy who, since he has arrived in town, has more than made good, met Young Recorter in the star bout of the evening. It was the fastest fight ever staged at this club, both boys being very aggressive. But the colored lad was too clever for his white opponent and easily outpointed him in every round. Weights—Broun, 130; Recorter, 131. Vanderbilt A. C., Brooklyn—Last Friday night Eddie Dorsey, the clever Philadelphia lightweight who has been defeating all his opponents since the mixed bouts were allowed, added another victim to his record when he defeated Andy Cortez, who was substituted for Walter Mohr, who refused to make the required weight. Dorsey gave the little rugged Italian fighter a good lacing during the whole ten rounds. Weights—Dorsey, 140; Cortez, 138. Leo Johnson, the colored lightweight champion of the world, who was matched for several fights, but owing to an injury to his ear has been ordered by his doctor to take a rest for a month. One of his opponents will be Johnny Announcement Extraordinary Announcement Extraordinary THE MUSIC LOVER'S CLUB of the Martin-Smith Music School announces E. E.

Wee Wee Barton, Harlem's favorite lightweight, and a boy who really fights all the time, will be out of the game for several weeks on account of an injury. Having received several complaints lately from the colored fighters and fighters about the injustice being done to the colored fighters by the white press. I take the liberty to answer these complaints through this column in a very few words; that is to say that those, papers belong to white people and naturally the white man will favor his own when it comes to a comparison with the colored fighter by the white, and if the colored boy wants any recognition let him rally to the colored papers and also insist that his manager recognize the colored press. One of the representatives of this paper was recently in conversation with a promoter of a local boxing club right in the heart of the colored section of the city about a business transaction, and he said to this young man that his club never advertised in Negro papers. But still he looks for their patronage. It is high time that the race rallies to the Negro press as the white man rallies to the white press for his results. Now, this paper publishes every week the exact results from all clubs where they hold mixed bouts, and will publish any clean sport sent in to this paper by Tuesday morning. Olympic Field, 136th street and Fifth avenue—the Lincoln Giants lost the colored championship to the Royal Giants when they split a double-header on these grounds last Sunday afternoon.

BROWN IN RECITAL CHICAGO, Ill.—Thursday evening of last week Mme. Anita Patti Brown, Chicago's sweetest soprano singer, appeared in a "home coming recital" at Bethel A. M. E. Church, under the direction of the Chicago Defender, the paper she represented while touring South America in the spring. It was the first time that music lovers appeared at a concert as early as 6:30 p. m. to secure a seat; it was the first time that people were turned away, the number being over 500, and the first time a foreign Consul appeared at a recital and had words of highest commendation for a singer and her voice. The reception tendered Mme. Brown has been the talk of the town. Her singing, artistic temperament, superb voice, beautiful costumes, together with her stage presence, made her the most admired artist to appear in the Windy City for many a day. In each number she wore costumes portraying the character of the artist, rendering with wonderful effect the "Slumber Song" (L. Africanine), Selika, by Myerbeer; Jewel Song ("Foust"); "Mad Scene" (Lucia di Lammermoor), and a group of four songs, "a Love and Music", "b "Liete Signor", c "Under de Wilters", by Wellington Adams; d "Lullaby". The audience responded liberally with applause. She received a handsome bunch of American Beauties. She was assisted by two young artists, Harrison Ferrell a violinist, and Charles Neil O'Jon, Jr., a pianist. Editor R. S. Abbott introduced the Minister from Brazil, South America, who said he came to say that Mine. Brown made a wonderful impression on the South American music lovers while touring his country in the spring. Mine. Brown has started on her winter tour. BAYONNE, N. J. Bayonne, N.
