VOL. XXX No. 6 UNION WILL NOT PROTECT NEGRO When Italian Hod Carriers Strike, Colored Men are Put to Work. JOHN INTERNATIONAL UNION Are Taken Into 'Hod Carriers' Union Before Being Employed, and are Paid Union Wages; $3.40 Per Day of Eight Hours. 200 to 300 Men Give Faithful Service to Construction Companies, the Week Going Forward Without Delay, But When Strike Is Settled and Italian Return, All Negro Workmen are Discharged. When the Italian hod carriers, members of the International Hod Carriers' Building and Common Laborers' Union of American, at 201 East 125th street, became grieved on account of some differences with their officers and withdrew from that organization, a strike was precipitated which affected building operations on many buildings in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn. Many of these buildings were in the Riverside Drive district. The striking Italians formed an independent organization, called Local No. 110, but the international body refused to recognize the men. The boss masons could not recognize this new union because of their working agreement with the international organization. As a solution of this labor problem, two of the construction companies, the Meyer Construction Company and the Avery Avenue, Riverside Drive, and the Peerless Products Co., erecting a building at 169 street and Shakespeare avenue, sent representatives to the office of the National Urban League, and requested that colored men be furnished to take the place of the striking Italians. This was done, and colored men, both members and non-members of the union, were sent to these jobs. The non-members were made members of the union before being put to work, the construction companies facilitating this by paying for them the initiation fee of $5 per man. Colored men to the number of from two hundred to three hundred thus became members of the union and were put to work on these construction jobs throughout Greater Manhattan, other construction companies following the example for the two already mentioned. They were paid union wages, $3.40 per day of eight hours. Italians Threaten to Use Bombs. Naturally, the striking Italians objected to this procedure, and they swarmed in large numbers around the buildings, trying to induce the colored men to quit work. Finding milder methods unavailing, they resorted to threats of Black Hand bombs and dynamite. The striking Italians numbered approximately 6,000, and greatly outnumbered the Negroes at work. As a consequence the colored men thought it best to have an understanding with their employers in regard to the protection to be afforded. Mr. Dreyfus, a representative of the Mayo Construction Co., called on James Christian, of 552 Lenox avenue, who acted as spokesman for the colored men, and assured him that protection would be given the colored workmen. Under this assurance, all the men staid on the jobs. Settle Strike. Discharge Negroes. At 12 o'clock on Friday, October 27, without previous notice, it was announced that the companies had reached an agreement with the striking factions, and the colored men, notwithstanding that they were regular members, in good standing, of the International Hod Carriers' and Common Laborers' Union of America, were discharged from all of the jobs. The men are very much disappointed at the failure of the union to ensure the permanency of their work, but it appears that no effort was made by the union officials to protect them. As soon as terms of adjustment were agreed upon with the striking Jalilians, every Negro employed on the various jobs, union member though he be, was continuously discharged. MORE THAN $5,000 RAISED BY ST. MARKS the annual fall rally of St. Mark's Church closed Sunday evening, October 22, with over $5,000 cash in hand. In three years this congregation, in addition to its regular offering, its fairs and reunions, has contributed over $20,000 cash through its rallies. Helpful sermons were preached during the month by Rrs. J. N. C. Cragans, A. J. Mitchell, R. M. Bolden and M. C. Jeunings. A number of the pastors of the city with their congregations took part in the great fellowship service on Sunday afternoon.

LYNCH FATHER, DRIVE FIVE SONS FROM HOME Lewless South Carolina Whites Say Lynched Man's Family Must Leave. CRAWFORD BOYS ARE NOTIFIED White Hill Bills Say Family Must Linvo for Sohn of Penae and Best Interests of Community--500 Acres of Land to be Searched by November 15- White Outlaws will Probably Get It. (Special to The New York Age) AMVILLE, S. C.-Following their action in lynching Anthony Crawford, a well-to-do farmer, who was courageous enough to defend himself from an assault by a white man, the brave and gallant white men of this community, to the number of more than a hundred, have decided that the five Crawford boys who survive their father must leave this neighborhood. Their declared reason for making this demand is that it is for the sake of peace and for the best interest of the community. The hundred or more farmers, or hill billies, as they are known, wanted to call on the boys in a body, but citizens of the town persuaded them to allow a committee of citizens to see the boys. This was done, and the boys asked to be given until November 15 to wind up their business affairs. Mr. Crawford owned about 500 acres of land and was reputed to ge worth considerable money. The request of the boys was granted. Whites Will Get Property. It is well understood that even with the time granted it will be impossible for the Crawford boys to effect any advantageous arrangement for disposing of their holdings, and so brave white farmers will probably take advantage of the opportunity to secure slices of the fine Crawford properties at nominal prices. Later in the day, after this arrangement had been settled, upon the hill billies became dissatisfied because they didn't go in a bunch to run the boys out of town, this feeling being helped on, undoubtedly, by resorting to illegal activities of the hill billies and to the crowd that was drawn to the various places of business conducted by colored men and demanded that they shut up their shops. The better element of the town's citizenry, judiciously mingling with the crowd, effectually prevented any actual outbreak of violence against the colored shopkeepers, who closed their shops and kept out of the way. With the departure of the outlaw gang from the city, the excitement died out, and the next day the Negroes were allowed to take up their business pursuits. But the edict against the Crawford boys stands, and they must sacrifice everything and leave the community. JERSEY REPUBLICANS RALLY IN BERGEN CO. (Special to THE NEW YORK AUOR.) ENGLEWOOD, N. J.—The colored Republicans of Bergen County, New Jersey, are winding up the campaign with a series of enthusiastic mass meetings at various points. Well attended rallies were held Tuesday night at Rutherford and Wednesday night at Hackensack. John R. Ramsey, candidate for Congress, and Counselor I. H Nutter, of Atlantic City, were the speakers. Thursday, November 2, will be a big day. Two hundred automobiles will be used by colored Republicans in a tour of Bergen County. led by Senator Edge, candidate for Governor, and Joseph S. Frelenghusen, candidate for United States Senator. The tour will wind up Thursday night with a mammoth demonstration at Englewood Lyceum, when both candidates, together with local candidates, will speak. On Saturday night, November 4, the Colored G. O. P. Club of Hackensack, will hold a mass meeting, and on Monday night, November 6, the Englewood Republicans will close with a whoop-um-up meeting at the famous Fourth Ward Colored Republican Club house. The Colored State Republican Bureau at Trenton has appointed Charles B. Hinton of Englewood, to hold the series of Bergen County meetings. FOOTBALL TO DATE CHARACTER AMBITION EDUCATION MONEY PATH OF PROGRESS KICKING HIM BACK DUBOIS COMPARES VOTE OF SOUTH AND NORTH. Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, in a lengthy article on "Why the South is in the Saddle," advises colored voters to support Charles E. Hughes for President and makes an interesting comparison of the Southern and Northern vote. It is shown that in 1912 New York, with 45 electors, cast 1,587,983 votes, while Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, together with 45 electors, cast 354,987 votes. In Alabama the combined vote of the nine Democratic Congressmen was but 75,528, while the combined vote of eight Congressmen from Kansas was 48,683. Helton from Alabama, whose only claim to fame has been the introduction of anti-Negro measures, was "elected" to Congress by 8,100 votes. In Mississippi Sisson, another arch enemy of the Negro, received 4,899 votes. The lowest vote received by any Congressman from Kansas was 46,185. "It would seem," says Dr. Dubois, "that each Mississippi voter (and only white men vote in Mississippi) cast thirteen votes where a Kansas voter casts one. We ask in all candoor how long is the Republican government going to endure such circumstances? How long is this, the most burning question of American democracy, going to be "let alone" by patriotic Americans?" NEW YORKERS TAKING PART IN CAMPAG James W. Johnson, contributing editor of The New York Age, is speaking this week in the State of Massachusetts in the interest of the Republican candidates, Hughes and Fairhanks. The Rev. Richard M. Bolden is speaking at Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, Pa., and Toledo, Ohip. Counselor J. Douglass Wetmore is at Cleveland, Ohio, and the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom is campaigning at Boston and in the State of Ohio. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1916. FOOTBALL TO DATE H OF PROGRESS KICKING HIM BACK JUSTICE MULLAN IS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS. One of the strongest candidates for Justice of the Supreme Court to be chosen at the polls next Tuesday is Justice George V. Mullan, who is known by representative Negroes to be right on the race question. His candidacy has been endorsed by the Non-Partisan Campaign Committee, a committee of the Bronx Bar Association and the Bronx Voters' League. Justice Mullan, was born forty-four years ago in the Yorkville section, and for the past twelve years has resided in the Bronx. He served the city as a member of the Tax Board from early in 1914 until the fall of 1915. In February, 1916, he resigned as a member of the Court House Board to accept the appointment of Justice of the Supreme Court made vacant by the death of Justice Brady. The following signed statement has been issued by Charles W. Anderson in advocacy of Justice Mullan's election to the Supreme bench: "It is the duty, the immediate duty, of every colored voter in Manhattan, and the Bronx to elect a Justice of the Supreme Court who will stand four-fourure on the doctrine of human rights that prejudice shall not subvert justice. In that high tribunal, Justice George V. Mullan, in character and conduct, in wisdom and sagacity, in Justice and in legal learning, the peer of any man on the Supreme bench in this or any other State. I have known him for twenty years. He is not only a distinguished lawyer, but also a life-hit unspotted honor. For years he has been interested in the welfare of his colored fellow-citizens. He was one of the strongest supporters of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. I want to appeal to every colored voter in Manhattan and the Bronx, who has the interests of his race at heart to cast a vote for George V. Mullan for Justice of the Supreme Court. Assured men, we should remember that the courts alone can secure us in the rights which the Constitution gives us, we should be careful not to lower theirs to lowered. We should be careful to see that only men who love justice and THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16th, MANHATTAN CASINO THURSDAY, NOV. 16, MANHATTAN CASINO The Clef Club Pierrot Minstrels Irving Williams Tom Fletcher Lew Henry James Hunt Tom Bethel Tharry Haynes Mose Ross Junk Edwards Snow Barnes Henry Saparo Irving Jones Wesley Jenkins END MEN Clarence Bush Wm.

MEMPHIS, TENN.—The close of the registration books for Shelby county, 12.208 Negroes had paid their poll taxes and entered their names as registered voters out of a total registration of about 34,250. That this exceptionally large number of voters might know how to mark the ballot, which measures 28 inches, with 102 names, voting schools have been held at which competent persons instructed the registered voters how to mark the ballot. Those who could read were shown how to vote for all Republican nominees, while 'the illiterate voters were shown how to "single-shot" their ballots for Overall, the Republican candidate for Governor. This was done to prevent invalidating of the ballot by incorrect marking. The following colored men have been nominated by the Negro Republicans For Congressman, 10th District—Wayman Wilkerson. For Florateral Senator, Shelby and Tipton Counties—T. H. Hayes. For State Senator, 32nd District—H M. Tomar. For State Senator, 33rd District—B. M. Rudd.

For Plotterial Representative, Shelby and Fayette Counties—G. W. Atkins. COLORED VOTERS UNITED TO DEFEAT WILSON AND DESTROY UN-AMERICANISM Race Leaders of Various States are Working Harmoniously to Bring About Election of Hughes and Fairbanks. Preachers Speak from Pulpit in Support of Republican Charles W. Anderson Predicts that Hughes and Win—Encouraging Reports from Debatable States. The great political drive is on in earnest! Republicans plan to bring about the evacuation of Washington, D. C., by Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic Party on and after March 4. However, the presence of new and more agreeable tenants in the White House depends on the successful culmination of this mighty onslaught on November 7. United, aggressive and confident, the Grand Old Party is waging a red-hot attack which forecasts the defeat of the enemy, who, although fighting back desperately, will be put to rest on election day. Already the enemy is skidding. Republicans have adopted every honorable and effective method to win the big drive now going on. The floodgates of oratory have been opened wide, literature, despite the scarcity of paper, has been scattered broadcast, and all records for letter-writing have been broken in this concerted movement to introduce Woodrow Wilson and his hosts to their Waterloo. THE COLORED VOTE. We have heard much during the campaign about the German-American vote, the labor, vote and the women's vote. Very little, if anything, has been said in the news about the colored vote, which is going to be a big factor in putting Charles E. Hughes in the White House and in giving him a Republican Congress to aid him in effectively carrying out his policies. German-Americans are said to be opposed to the re-election of Mr. Wilson because of his alleged unfriendly attitude toward Germany. Suffrage are said to be against him because he has pissed off the question of giving the woman the ballot. But the advantage of colored Americans against the President of the United States is more personal, real and justistic. To them he is looked upon as a false friend and a dangerous enemy; for before his election he voluntarily made promises which he has failed to keep, and has been a principal to the biggest anti-Negro propaganda since the Civil War, which was augurated to impede the Negro's progress. There are over 700,000 colored voters above the Mason and Dixon lakes. After election figures will show that the colored vote presented a more solid front for the election of Hughes and Fairbanks than either the German-American or the republic vote. Never before has the registration of colored voters in the doubtful states been so heavy, and political prognosticators assert that this is an indication of the Negro's whole souled interest. He is even making financial contributions to further the interest of the Republican candidates as never before. Four years ago conditions were different. Hundreds of colored voters, discouraged over the split in the Republican Party, failed to register or stayed at home on election day. Most of those who voted supported Theodore Roosevelt, while not a few voted for William H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson. Now the Republican and Progressives are united, and a colored Wilson supporter is a rarity. Even colored Tammyanites are espousing Mr. Hughes' cause, putting race above party. In Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis and other cities where colored men support The New York Age IS RELIABLE. WHEN YOU NEED IT IN "THE AGE" YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT. NEWS THAT IS INFORMING.

HARMONY PREVAILS. For once one may refer the many existing among Negroes in a liberal sense. It is a fact. Smarting under the injustice heaped upon them by Woodrow Wilson and Southern Democrats, the colored people have joined hands to bring about the downfall of their political enemies. Personal misfortunes and past differences have been laid aside, and all are working together for the common good of the race in the country. A plaining sentence of campaign is the harmonious manner in which the colored advisory committee to the Republican National Committee is working. Charles W. Anderson, one of the most astute politicians in the country, white or colored, is chairman of this committee, and influential politicians of the race are co-operating with him in the interest of the Republican nominees. For the first time in history the colored committee occupies a suite of rooms in the same building with the other heads of the Republican campaign, and no evidence of "Jim Crowism" is apparent anywhere. Colored ministers in the Northern States are taking an active part in the campaign, believing that it is their duty to show members of the race the importance of defeating Wilson and electing Hughes. Communications received by Mr. Anderson from ministers in debatable states are most gratifying. They announce their willingness to take part in the grand drive by urging colored voters to support Charles E. Hughes from the pulpit MINISTERS ACTIVE FOR HUGHES. Seve of the statements made by well known ministers relative to working in the interest of the Republican Party follow. "It seems to me that our failure to elect Mr. Hughes would not only be a racial but a National and worldwide disaster. I shall be very glad to do all in my limited power to aid his election." Rev. A. W. Puller, pastor of the People's Baptist Church, Boston, Mass. "I shall certainly emphasize from my pulpit the grave necessity of every Negro working for the election of Charles E. Hughes." Rev. F. Clarence Van Buren, pastor of the Smith Street African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. "Electing Charles E. Hughes President is truly God's work. I shall preach * * * a sermon with all the power heaven will give me for the success of our Grand Old Party." Rev. B. W. Smith, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Great Barrington, Mass. "I shall do all I can to get my people to a man to vote the whole Republican ticket. I believe that Mr. Hughes will keep his word." Rev. C. C. Ringgold, Hackenzack, N. J. "New Bedford, from all appearances, is solid for Mr. Hughes. I will, however, be glad to comply with your request in preaching a sermon on the subject suggested, and will make the appeal as direct as possible." Rov. D. Ormonde Walker, New Bedford, Mass. "I certainly agree with you that no stones should be left unturned to help elect the Hon. Charles E. Hughes. I have been and am now actively interested in the election, and shall be glad to deliver a sermon pointing to what I believe to be the Christian duty of every Negro preacher, and I might add to duty of every member of the Negro race." Rev. W. A. Ray, pastor of the Wesley Union A. M. E. Zion Church, Harrisburg, Pa. "I am throwing my full weight of influence behind Mr. Hughes' election." How can any minister of the Negro, do otherwise? * * * If christianity means anything to humanity, it means the full enjoyment of man's rights and the opportunity to develop all of the abilities and capabilities essential to the making of life worth while." Rev. A. L. Scott, pastor of the Fourth Methodist Episcopal Church, Boston, Mass. "After reading your acceptable letter and the two enclosed jubilee notes sent me my heart bursts with righteous indignation and holy zeal for the good and welfare of my race and country and the election of Hughes and Fairbanks." Rev. Henry Browner, pastor of Grace A. M. E. Zion Church, Wilmington, Del. "I shall do all in my might, God using my helper, to give the Grand Old Republican Party victory." Rev. L. J. B. Shaw, Salisbury, Md. MR. ANDERSON OPTIMISTIC. Reports from doubled states favor the Republican Party. Even in Missouri such experienced campaigners as Congress Charles, H. Turpin and Charles Turner predict that the State, due to the loyalty of the Negro vote, will go Republican. Charles E. Mitchell writes from West Virginia that indications point to success for the Republican ticket in that State. Reports from Illinois are most encouraging. Phil Brown, who is in charge of the colored headquarters at Chicago, says Illinois will be found in the Republican column, also Kentucky. The colored women will help swell the Republican figures in Illinois. This is what Charles W. Anderson, chairman of the Colored Advisory Committee to the Republican National Committee, thinks of the outlook. I feel confident of the election of Thomas and Palibanks. I feel equally confident of the triumphant re-election of Governor Whitman and the entire Republican ticket of this State. I realize that a large number of Union warring men have been deluded into the belief that the so-called eight-hour law was intended to help the working-men of the country, but the allegations are multiple and strong that the natural leaders among them now coming to see what has been so long apparent to thinking men, that this law is a mere watch-penny device to capture votes. I expect Mr. Palibanks to have at least 288 votes in the electoral college. I not only feel of his election, but feel certain that the colored voters of the country will deserve the credit of having served the day for the Republican ticket. Never before have the colored group and clergy given such unanimous and unselfish support, nor performed such real service for the cause and candidates of our party. This is an admirable as it is unusual. Every race has at some time in the history had to face the problem of the death. The Negro is facing his this campaign. If Mr. Wilson is elected his 'Negro-hating policy will have received the endorsement of the American people, and the harm to the race will be almost reparable. Every Negro should, therefore, work and pray for the election of Hughes and Flairbanks. Every mother and wife of the race should see to it that the voters in their families cast their votes 'early on election morning." Charles Cottrell writes from Ohio as follows: "The, colored vote of Ohio was never in such good shape as now. There is enthusiasm noisy yet, and I am satisfied that not a handful of State of Ohio will vote for Wilson at the coming election. The registration of our voters is up to the standard. The colored voters are thoroughly organized, and we have reached practically every one of the more than 50,000 colored voters of Ohio." W. H. Higgins, of Providence, R. I. Edgar B. Howard, secretary of the Republican Club of Portland, Me. write that the colored voters in them respective states are for Hughes and are bending every effort to help put them in the Presidential chair. Q. Q. P. STRENGTH ON INCREASE IN MARYLAND BALTIMORE. Mn.-Reports coming in from different sections of the State indicate that Charles E. Hughes is growing in strength. This does not mean that the State will cast its electoral vote for the Republicans, as it did in 1896 and 1900, but shows that there is much hostility to Woodrow Wilson. Twice since 1900 Maryland's electoral vote has been split, but the Democrats got the lion's share. Substantial business and professional men of Democratic leanings have expressed their dissatisfaction with the Wilson policies, and a number have announced that Hughes will get their votes. Many of this type of men will also vote for Dr. Joseph I. France, Republican candidate for United States Senator. They regard David J. Lewis, his Democratic opponent, as being too socialistic in his views. The Democrats will not elect all Congressmen, as they have done the past past two elections. The Republicans have a fighting chance in three districts and are reasonably sure of two others. That Maryland is considered debatable ground is indicated by the prominent Republicans of both races who have been here. Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, Henry Lincoln Johnson and Joseph Johnson are among the men who have been here in an effort to "ginger up" the colored voters. There are about 45,000 registered colored immigrants in Maryland more than 16,000 of whom are Baltimore citizens. Baltimore city and the "wet" counties will vote on a local option bill. The fight has been stubbornly waged on both sides. The Rev. L. G. Jordan the Rev. C. A. Tindley, both of Philadelphia, the Rev. J. N. C. Coggins of Georgia, Mrs. Izza Peterson, of Texas, and others have spoken in all parts of the city this week for the "dry." It is not thought that Baltimore will vote "dry." NEGRO PASTOR WANTED WHITE ORGAN FIXER BALTIMORE, Md.—The question of repairs to the pipe organ in the Independent A. M. E. Zion Church, this city, brought out a statement by the Rev. L. C. Curtis, pastor, that no colored organ repairer was wanted for the job as the trustees of the church had voted specifically for the employment of a white man. The arm of Sidney T. Nummo & Son is one of the largest piano and organ firms in the city, and so the Rev. Mr. Curtis gave the order to that firm. Young Nummo went to the church to do the job, but as he was familiar only with reed organs, he could not repair the pipe organ. He left word to that effect for the preacher. Curtis made inquiry from the senior Nummo who informed him that Walter Punderhughes, a colored man, would be sent to fix the organ. Punderhughes had been in the Nummos' employ for eight years and is regarded as one of the best mechanics in the city. But the preacher informed the piano man that no Negro was wanted, as the trustees had ordered that the work he done by a white man. He was told by Nimmo that a man should be recognized by his ability, not by his color, and that he was showing more prejudice against his own race than was shown by a white man. Nimmo refused, although requested by Curtis, to recommend a white firm to do the job. DOCTOR ASAULTED AND MEMPHIS, TENN.—As the result of a brutal attack by three white men, who ejected him from a Pullman sleeper on which he was riding ecoure to this city from St. Louis, Dr. J. E. White is in a hospital here being treated for his injuries. Dr. White left New York on October 9 for Missouri, where he intends entering upon the practice of medicine attending to visit friends in Memphis, he left St. Louis on October 11, occupying a birth on the Pullman sleeper attached to the Iron Mountain tram, a division of the Missouri/Jacobie A few miles out of Memphis three white men, not passengers, it appeared, entered the car, evidently for that particular purpose, and after assaulting Dr. White, ejected him from the car incidentally, they relieved him of his purse. He has entered suit in the Federal Court for damages to the amount of $10,000, with Attorney Bothe of this city as his lawyer. $100,000 BUILDING FOR PITTBURGH ASSN. PITTBURGH, PA.—The campaign to raise $10,000 from the colored people of this city is under way, with J. E. Morland, national secretary; in charge, Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, will give $25,000, and the board of directors of the white association will give $65,000. The new building is to be erected on Center avenue on the site of the present building. The Campaign Committee is composed of Hezekiah Anderson, chairman; John T. Writt, Attorney R. L. Vann, Spottswood Turner, Dr. G. G. Turtley, T. M. Tate, Attorney W. H. Stanton, Dr J. R Shenard, C W Posey, G H Newman, J-C. Morton, D R. Lewis, Dr C. H Carroll and Dr G H.

TERRELLS CELEBRATE SILVER ANNIVERSARY Washington, D. C.-Saturday evening, October 28. Judge and Mrs. Robert H. Terrell celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage from 8 until 12 o'clock their handsome home on T street was crowded with hundreds of friends who came to offer felicitations. The scene was one of rare beauty and charm. Great masses of chrysanthemums and toilage with rich, autumnal colors had been arranged artistically on mantle and chandelier. Tall, graceful palms in profusion, mingled with garlands of purple and gold, were happed in the slovoe of the drawing room. These decorations formed a room for a beautiful picture, in foreground of a beautiful picture, in figures to welcome the guests-Judge and Mrs. Terrell, their two lovely daughters, Mary and Phyllis, Miss Annette Clare Church, the sister of Mrs. Terrell, Mrs. R R Church, Jr. sister-m-law and little Sara Roberta, the three-year-old daughter of Mrs. Church the flower girl of the occasion. Among the guests were all the leading figures of Washington colored life in its various activities—social, educational, religious and professional. Rarely has there been seen in this city so many and such exquisite gifts as were showered upon Justice and Mrs. Terrell. One of the largest jewels in that he had received on one day more orders for presents for the Terrells than from all other customers combined. No article of the silversmith's skill and ingenuity seemingly had been ignored by the donors.

LEDGER PRIZE AWARDS CAUSE MUCH COMMENT The awarding of third prize in the Philadelphia Public Ledger editorial writing contest to James W. Johnson, contributing editor of THE NEW YORK. No attracted a great deal of attention, not only among his friends in the race whose pride was largely personal, but it has called forth many commemorative letters and utterances from members of other races. It was interesting to note that the Public Ledger, in its Sunday issue following the award of the prizes, in which the photographs of successful contestants were featured gave space to two letters only, both of which were from Ledger readers of the Caucasian race. Both letters referred specifically to the editorial written by James Weldon Johnson. One of the writers, Weldon Wallace, trown, was an assistant attorney-general of Presidents Roosevelt and Taft. The letters referred to read in part as follows: To the Editor of Public Ledger Sur. In my simple judgment the prize contest, editorial written by Weldon Johnson, should be the prize editors and should be awarded the $500. Why would it not have been a good idea to have the judges choose the prizes to have kept the secret, published the three prize articles of their choosing (under subjugate, if preferred) and allowed the read to have the opportunity to have the judgment as to the prizes. As far as my own preference in the worth of the decisions of the residents of the Public Ledger, the judgment of the residents of the Public Ledger, the necessarily partisan committees. It is not the late yet. R R CHAPMAN, Cifton Heights, Pa. October 19 To the Editor of Public Ledger I have read with deep interest the editorial awards covering the candidates for the press deny Hughes and Wilson. It is the third prize winner about whom I would speak-James Weldon Johnson and Benjamin Thomas Bobhitt. The former is a colored man, a representative of less than one tenth of our 140,000,000 people. Bobhitt represents the other nine tenths. Johnson is a twice-transected in the sure Democrat states only. QUIN GROWS REMOVES D LEAD FOR QUINA THE IDEAL SH QUINA MME. C.J.

Good Roads increase the value of the 22,000,000 acres of Farm Land in New York State That's one big reason why the work of your State Highway Department is so important, and why you should see to it that an efficient administration is kept in office. For example, the value of farm land in New York State increased three hundred and eighty million dollars from 1900 to 1910 during the era of highway improvement under Republican administrations, as compared with a decrease of eighty million dollars for the ten years' preceding highway improvement. Such an important department of your State Government must be efficiently conducted. It has been efficiently conducted during the past two years under the leadership of Governor Charles S. Whitman, in striking contrast to the conditions that were present during the three preceding administrations. How this important department has "made good" is of immediate interest to every citizen who desires and supports GOOD GOVERNMENT. Governor Whitman's appointee to the head of the department, acting with the administration made it possible for engineers and real road builders, to get employment and promotion based on MERIT. Expensive advisory boards and so-called experts were dispensed with. Unnecessary [and useless] positions were abolished. A plan of efficiency rating was adopted which forms the basis of advancement instead of personal influence.

Just such a situation confronts the Negro in the United States today. His immediate progress is a matter of grave concern. No member of the race should permit himself to be impelled by financial or other petty considerations to support Woodrow Wilson and Southern Democracy at the polls next Tuesday. To do so would mean a betrayal of race and the abandonment of all self-respect. Colored voters, he they Democrats, Socialists or Prohibitionists, should ignore former party affiliations in this election. "Race above party" should be the slogan. Hughes and Fairbanks should be supported to a man. By so doing the Negro will materially assist in removing a dangerous enemy to the race and to the progress of this country and it will win a larger measure of respect from all white people who, regardless of political convictions, believe in fair play, equal opportunity and undiluted Americanism. THE EDITOR. Every colored minister of the gospel ought to find time next Sunday to advise the voters in his congregation to support Hughes and Fairbanks. In making such a plea from the pulpit they could not be charged with playing politics. Woodrow Wilson, as President, has broken the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." Make it your business to vote the STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN Ticket on Tuesday, November 7. Vote Early and Avoid the Rush. Vote against the Democratic Party and DEFEAT WILSON. The re-election of Charles S. Whitman as Governor of New York, the election of William M. Calder to the United States Senate, and the success of the other candidates on the State ticket with Mr. Whitman seem assured. But the colored voters of the State of New York must not take things for granted. Make the election of the Republican nominees a certainty by voting the straight Republican ticket. Vote early. In Tennessee, the spectacle of colored men as candidates on the Republican ticket for important State offices should awaken the colored voters of that State to a keen realization of their duty to the race and nation in this important crisis. They should be fired with the battle cry made many, many years ago in this country: "Taxation without representation is tyranny," and vote for every member of the race aspiring for office.

FAKE HUMANITY We reproduce the following editorial, which appeared in the The Sun of October 28, 1916: A Fraction of Humanity Woodrow Wilson Neglects. "As between right and wrong," said Woodrow Wilson, speaking in Cincinnati, "there can be no neutrality," and he added that "It is the part of the community that is least vocal that needs interpreting. It is the man on the farm, in the factory and down in the mine who needs our WAKE UP COLORED MEN! WAKE UP! Do colored men fully realize that the coming election brings with it a crisis in the history of the race? Do they fully realize what the election of Woodrow Wilson will mean for us as a people? If, in his first term Woodrow Wilson has gone so far in his Anti-Negro policy, what are we to expect if he receives the endorsement of the country for a second term? Do colored men fully realize what the race has lost in the past three and a half years? It has lost the national political status which it has been fifty years in winning. Do colored men fully realize what would happen in four more years under Woodrow Wilson? The race would practically lose its national citizenship. What then is the duty of colored men who vote in the states where their votes are counted and count for something? It is their duty not only to vote for Charles E. Hughes, but to do all in their power to help defeat Woodrow Wilson. We repeat that nothing is farther from our choice than to have to take up this issue. We should prefer, as simple American citizens, to consider only the general issues that affect the general welfare. But this issue is forced upon us, and we can do nothing less than accept it. Nevertheless, in taking up this issue, we are not guilty of any hyphenism. We are not seeking the advantage of any outside power at the expense of the United States. We are simply seeking, as Americans of undivided loyalty, to maintain our status and rights as citizens. If we do not succeed in doing that, all other issues will be of no importance to us. We know there is no danger that colored men will vote for Woodrow Wilson—no self-respecting Negro can do that—but there is danger that, either through negligence or apathy, many may not vote at all. That is why we say, "Wake up. colored men! Wake up!" This is no time for negligence or apathy. We are facing a crisis in the history of the race. For once, let us show that we have our own vital interests at heart. Let us work and sacrifice, if necessary, to protect those interests. Let every colored man in all the free states cast his vote for Charles E. Hughes and the Republican party, the only party, whatever might be its shortcomings, that stands between us and political annihilation. Let him cast that vote early. If it means a sacrifice of time and money to cast that vote, let him make the sacrifice gladly, for he is voting not only for himself, but for his children. Let every colored man in the free states who has the future of the race at heart, make himself an agent to get out the negligent and apathetic colored vote: Let him not be satisfied with casting his own vote, but let him make it his duty to see that others do not neglect to vote. Finally, let every colored man in the free states vote not only the national Republican ticket, but also the state Republican ticket. Whatever other party he may have heretofore affiliated with in local politics, let him this time vote the Republican ticket from top to bottom. Let us remember that we hold the only political protection for our brethren in the South. Let us not forget that their fate is largely in our hands. Let us remember that a vote cast for Democratic state government in New York is a vote cast for Democratic oppression throughout the South. Vote unitedly for Republicanism. Vote to defeat the Democrats. Make it your business to vote the STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET on Tuesday, November 7. Vote Early and Avoid the Rush. Vote against the Democratic Party and DEFEAT WILSON. SECRETARY BAKER'S EXPLANATION. Mr. Baker, President Wilson's Secretary of War, is having a hard time explaining the speech he made in Jersey City on October 16. The Secretary's speech, as it was published at the time, aroused a storm of indignation throughout the country and caused a number of patriotic societies, including the Daughters of the American Revolution, to demand his removal from office for slandering the heroes of 76. Here is the trouble-brewing part of Mr. Baker's speech as taken down by a stenographer present at the meeting, and which he certifies as a verbatim account of the Secretary's remarks. "Some people say they cannot understand the President's Mexican pohey, and I want to tell you why. They have forgotten our own history and the Declaration of Independence. Why are we impatient at the Mexicans? We say they do not respect the lives and property of our people. Perhaps they don't. We say they do not pay their honest debts. They don't. We say they are a rage- attention and needs to be interpreted." The man on the farm speaks through the Grange, the Farmers Alliance, associations and societies of agriculturists too numerous to mention. The man in the factory and the man down in the mite is heard through trade unions, labor organizations; and the man on the farm, the man in the factory, the man down in the mines never speaks without commanding respectful attention from politicians. But there is one section of the population that is practically martialize. It comprises a dozen millions or so of Americans whose condition excites the pity of philanthropists and stirs the fears of statesmen. It is the great Negro population whose status, from whatever viewpoint it is observed, presents the gravest problems. When Mr Wilson exposes his love for humanity, his devotion to the oppressed, his longing to serve the infortunate and downtrodden, we are filled with wonder that his great soul has never been enlisted in behalf of repressed and despotically subju- gated Americans of African descent That is the very point that The Age has been constantly hammering on for the past six months.

DEMOCRACY IN FLORIDA In the coming election the people of Florida will be called upon to vote on an amendment frankly designed to eliminate the Negro vote as far as it can be accomplished without violating the Constitution of the United States. Florida is one of the States that has been hardest hit by the Negro exodus; and it is one that has complained loudest. In Jacksonville, the white citizens besought the colored citizens to assist in checking the movement. In all these years Florida has The emerging thing is that people never respect these things in a revolution. We had a revolution, and from the beginning to the end of that the conditions in this country were so like Mexico that it is perfectly astounding to read. "Washington's soldiers in the march to Valley Forge stole everything they could lay their hands on. They stole the silver vessels from the churches and melted them up to buy things to drink. They drove ministers of the gospel and preachers of churches out of their churches and out of the country. The money of the so-called confederation was so worthless that when they tried to make the merchants take it the latter hid their provisions in their cellars." Ever since the morning of October 17, Mr. Baker has been kept busy denying these remarks in a general way. He has repeatedly stated that he could not possibly remember just what he said, because he had spoken without any notes, but that he was sure he never said anything slanderous about the men of '76. Under the flaying of Theodore Roosevelt, Secretary Baker has been stung into making a public statement. This statement is in the form of a letter to the Democratic National Committee. In our opinion, parts of the denial put Mr. Baker in a worse light than some of the things he was charged with saying. A part of his denial is as follows: "I cannot give the exact words of my Jersey City address, as I had neither manuscript nor notes. Neither have I seen in any complete form just what I am reported to have said. But, the substance and spirit of what I did say I can easily reproduce. "I started by describing the condition of Mexico under Diaz, the destitution and misery of the people, the revolution headed by Madero and its success. I then described Madero's assassination, the part played by Huerta, the refusal of the United States to recognize Huerta and his ultimate disappearance as a factor in the revolution. I then turned to the present condition of affairs in Mexico and asked whether they justified intervention on any truly American theory. "I described their revolution as incomplete and asked what would have become of our own revolution of 1776-1789 if some foreign power had become tired of the unsettled condition of our country and had intervened to establish its theory of government instead of allowing our fathers to establish our liberties and give to the world the first real free government in history." Secretary Baker was charged with slandering the individual acts of some of Washington's soldiers his denial of that charge contains a slander of the whole Revolutionary cause. The men of "76 fought to throw off a foreign yoke and gain national independence. Now if Secretary Baker knows anything at all about Mexico he ought to know that the Huertistas and the Carranzistas and the Villistas and Zapatistas and the other "istas" are all Mexicans fighting among themselves. And what are they fighting for? Each group is fighting only to get control of the offices and revenues of the country. To compare this anarchistic scramble for power and money with the aims of the Revolution, in order to put a better face on the Mexican muddle, is carrying Wilsonism a step too far.

Here is the statement: "The War Department has received definite information, confirmed from other sources, that enemies of the Administration's policy toward Mexico, in co-operation with Villa or other bandits in Mexico, have arranged a spectacular attack, to be made either upon some part of the American forces, or upon some American community on the border, between now and the date of the election, for the purpose of turning the tide of sentiment against the policy which the Administration has adopted for the protection of the border. "It is significant in this connection that both the State and War Departments were advised that the bandit's forces operating at the present time in Mexico are being paid in silver coin. "Full particulars have been transmitted to General Funston and General Pershing. All American forces are, therefore, forewarned and in readiness for such an attack." Now, a "straightjacket" inmate of an insane asylum could see that Secretary Baker meant to convey the impression that certain American citizens, most likely those who are managing Mr. Hughes' campaign, were plotting and financing an attack upon American troops or some American community by Villa bandits in order to influence the election against President Wilson. That is exactly the impression the Secretary's words conveyed, and then the trouble began. Newspaper correspondents in Washington demanded to know the names of these treasonable Americans concerning whom the War Department had "definite information." Then Secretary Baker began to crawl. He could not deny his words as he did in the Jersey City speech, he simply had to crawl. Secretary Lansing came to his rescue with the excuse that— not sought to distranchise her colored citizens by law. Now when such a step is less necessary than ever, it is taken. When the white voters of Florida are passing this amendment, as they evidently will, we want to ask them if they still wonder why Negroes leave the State when they are able to do so? At the same time we will ask colored men on the Nogh if they think any Negro has a right to cast his vote in a way that will strengthen this sort of thing in the South? We are glad to see that the Times-Union, the most powerful paper in Florida, is opposing the amendment. Make it your business to vote the STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN Ticket on Tuesday, November 7.

A FLIMSY CHARGE. The Department of Justice is now trying to prove that the Negroes that have come North, to fill the place formerly occupied by foreign labor are part of a great political scheme of fraud. It is charged that these men have been brought North by the Republicans in order to swell the vote for Hughes in certain States. Nobody knows better than the Washington administration that there is no truth in this charge. In fact, the movement of Negroes from the South to all places in the North was started under the supervision of the Department of Labor. "Ife and Mr. Baker believed that in addition to warning the military commanders, it was wise to give the information received publicity, because it might have the effect of causing the plot to be abandoned." Before the Wilson Administration, could the American people have conceived of such silly rot coming from cabinet officers? Suppose the War Department did have definite information about such a plot, what would be the duty of the Secretary? To publish such a statement as the one published by Secretary Baker? If the plotters were on American soil, it would be his plain and simple duty to instantly cause their arrest; if they were in Mexico, it would be his duty, with the forces at his command, to take military steps to prevent the plot from being carried out. What does Secretary Baker do? He publishes a piece in the papers hoping that it "might have the effect of causing the plot to be abandoned." The truth of the matter is: The Administration, on account of Villa's recent and successful activities, is fearful that the Mexican lid, which it has been holding down for the past few months, will fly off before election. So, in case it happens, this statement of Secretary Baker will come in handy to hoodwink the American people by laying the blame on President Wilson's political enemies. But in this plan one important point has been overlooked, and it is this: If this attack, concerning which the War Department has "definite information," is made, the American people will want to know why the War Department did not take the necessary steps to forestall or prevent it.

The following is clipped from a despatch reporting the doings of the American-Mexican Joint Commission now enjoying itself at Atlantic City: Sanitary conditions in Mexico were taken up with a view toward a co-operative campaign by the United States and Mexico to clean up Mexican towns. Yellow fever, enteric fever, typhus and smallpox are reported prevalent in numerous places, from which travelers enter the United States. Not one word has yet been raised in the commission about the American citizens and soldiers killed by Mexicans, both in Mexico and on-United States soil, but a discussion is held about improving the sanitary condition of Mexican towns. For more than two months this futile and impotent commission has been wasting time. But the idea in President Wilson's mind when he suggested the commission was to have it waste time; especially until after election day.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Should Be Too Proud to Lynch. To the Editor of The Age: We hope the man who occupies the presidential chair will be aroused miraculously with the good will to suggest some plan as the Chief Executive of the country to remedy the lynching spirit that has proved to be so shameful and degrading to southern civilization. Kentucky's late history ranks her in with Georgia—the "shame" of the nation. We see prisoners taken from jail in various parts of the South and the officers of the law making no effort, to protect them. No wonder Negroes leave the South when the opportunity permits. Who can blame a cow for breaking out of a pasture where there is scarcely any grass and makes her way to a green field where there is sustenance" Georgia, Texas and Florida run races on this lynching proposition. We hope that a double portion of this "Too proud to fight" spirit falls on the Union enough to make it "Too proud to lynch." Having been, a reader of THE NEW YORK AGE for some time, and noticing how ably your paper has defended the Negro in going north, I have come to be very much interested in the articles that have a bearing on the subject.

One element in the race problem, between whatever races it arises, is the cowardice of the superior. There is nothing more essentially cowardly than severity and harshness where it cannot be returned. The man who is hold and insulting where he has nothing to fear, and speaks softly where there is danger, gives a poor account of his courage. The man, who thinks that a human equality endangers his superiority and lowers his self-respect betrays the fact that he is not sure of his superiority and cannot trust his self-respect to stand alone. A rank which can be injured by tarnness and by an uncoordending kindness shows that it is already defective.

Burleigh will appear at the Harris Theatre, West 42nd street, but not as a singer. It will be the second in a series of Elite Musicales promoted by Max Sanders, who is presenting Mr. Burleigh in his first concert appearance to play the piano accompaniments for a group of his own songs, which are to be sung by Charles Harrison, the young American tenor. It is a unique arrangement which brings Mr. Burleigh before a critical New York audience of music lovers, as his work these latter days is of a character and type distinctive from anything he has ever done, and possessing an individualism which marks it as different from that done by any of his contemporaries. He will have notable company or Sunday evening, as Mme. Franken, a Hungarian pianist. will play, and the Chamber Symphony Orchestra, composed of the string and woodwind sections of the Russian Symphony Orchestra, composed of about forty men under the direction of the orchestra's conductor, Modest Altschuler, will include a new work by Charles Wakefield Cadman, "To a Vanishing Race." Mme. E. Azalia Hackley's work for the music development of the race has been helped greatly by the song-recital demonstration programs which she has rendered during several years in all parts of the country. Her latest appearance in this form of entertainment was at the Musical Fund Hall, Philadelphia, on Thursday evening, October 19. At this time she rendered the following program: Orchestra. Arias. a. "Je Sug Titania" (Mignon) b. "Musetta's Song" (La Bohème) Pauciné Demonstration—"Racial Characteristics" Poise and Tone Songs by Colored Composers a. "Since you went away" ... J R Johnson b. "Sweet Thoughts" ... Clarence ( White c. "Wid de Moon" ... W. Marion Cook Demonstration—"Human electricity and its con- trol" Orchestra, Song—"Caro Nome"—Rugoleto, Demonstration—"A Sample Lesson for poor people." Mme. Hackley writes me that her plans call for the presentation of this program only once more, and that with that performance its mission will be over. Certain it is that much good has been accomplished by this practical demonstration of what is to be done in music and how to do it. Following this recital-demonstration at Philadelphia, Mme. Hackley went over to Chester, Pa., and directed the first folk-song festival ever given in Pennsylvania. About one hundred colored singers made up the chorus, and the Ruth L. Bennett Improvement Club promoted the affair. The proceeds were for the furthering of uplift work among the colored people of Chester. The festival was held in the New Armory Building, Eighth and Market streets, and an audience of goodly proportions, composed of both white and colored, was present: The program was as follows: FOLK SONGS— a. Let us cheer the weary traveler, James Hite b. Sinner you'd better pray, Hirsch Kelson c. Cray to Jesus, Hossein Jewett PIANO—"In the flotsions Suite" R. D. Nett a. Night Santee Mander, Watson Jackson, Alex Graham, Joseph Hunt FOLK SONGs: a. Couldn't hear nobody pray. Elfth Brown b. Couldn't hear a song. Elfth Green SONG—Dep River.

Azalia Hackley At the piano, Mary Grassy. It was intimated some time ago that there was a probability of Mine. Hackley bringing her folk-song festival to New York. She writes me now definitely that this city will be invaded during the coming month of January. Just to what extent her plans are matured I cannot say as yet, but it is practically certain that she will receive the cooperation and support of all the various musical organizations of the city. It would be a splendid and well-deserved tribute to a remarkable woman if the various choral societies, schools, church choirs and individual singers of Greater New York should join in creating a mammoth chorus of at least a thousand voices. This can easily be done, and the New York folk-song festival made an epoch-creating event. Lorenzo F. Dyer, organist and director of the choir of Mt. Olivet/Baptist Church, 159 West, 53d street, the Rev. Wm. P. Hayes, pastor, will present that choir in a recital on Thursday evening, November 9, introducing to New York at the same time Mme. Marie Burrier Houston, a soprano soloist from the West. The choir will sing an unfinished opera, "Loreley," by Felix Mendelssohn and Mme. Houston will take the solo part." She is a newcomer to this city, having come here only three weeks ago, I am informed. The choir will be assisted by an orchestra, and Mr. Dyer is working hard to give his hearers a musical offering worthy of their patronage.

Ben Holly Guests, townspeople, police, etc. The Quality Amusement Corporation, believing that variety lends a spice to life, departed this week from its recently established policy of presenting Broadway dramatic successes, and is giving Harlemites and other patrons of the Lafayette Theatre an opportunity to enjoy one of the Broadway musical comedy successes, choosing for this purpose Geo. M. Cohan's sparking work, "45 Minutes From Broadway." The scenes are laid at New Rochelle, hence the title, but the characters mostly are types to be seen only in the Big City. Many new faces are seen in the cast, and some of the newcomers are doing mighty good work. This is especially true of Susie Suttup, who not only acts well, but sings charmingly and dances with grace. Abbie Mitchell as Mary Jane Jenkins, the housemaid, is clever and capable, and her one song, "Mary is a Grand Old Name," is sung as only Miss Mitchell can sing. Babe Townsend as Kid Burns, the tough kid from New York, is a splendid foil for both Mary Jane and Walker Thompson as Tom Bennett, the sudden millionaire. Thompson is not as finished in his work as he ought to be, descending on several occasions to very "small-time" comedy, ostensibly to create a laugh. His work in this particular was rather crude, in several instances, and could be improved by a change in methods. Stage Director Winn has provided a small but good-looking chorus, the members of which are past masters in the terpsichorean diversions provided, but their voices could be improved upon. However, the deficiency in this respect is more than supplied when the voices of Miss Mitchell, Miss Bowman, Miss Sutton and Miss Gorgas are added. This was especially noticeable in the second act, when J. Francis Mores, as *Dan Cronin*, sang "Whistle as You Walk Out," and the entire company assisted in the chorus, bringing in several saunches from grand opera. Miss Bowman's voice was heard to good advantage in "Dreaming," but the song was hardly suited to the character which she is interpreting - Miss Sutton's song, "The Old Maid's Lament," with her manner of putting it over, made a hit with the large audience. Miss Gorgas sang, assisted by a chorus, but her work was not very effective. Tom Brown had to give several verses of his number, "Things Ain't the Same as They Used to Be," before the people were satisfied to let the play go on. Manager Eugene Elmore has decided to continue "45 Minutes From Broadway" at the Lafayette through the week of November 6, with some changes in the song numbers. The patronage this week indicates that the offering will be one of the most successful of the season, and is proof of the fact not only that colored performers need not depend on ragtime singing and buck dancing to attract audiences, but also that colored audiences will appreciate high-class musical comedies as much as high-class dramatic offerings. Marie Lucas and her girls are playing as though inspired this week, and it is to be observed that the work of the orchestra calls for as much comment and is shown as much appreciation as the work on the stage. The girls in the orchestra are wearing housemaid costumes this week, probably a delicate compliment to Miss Abbie Mitchell, the housemaid in the play. L. H WHITE Vaudeville and One-Act Comedy at The New Lincoln At the New Lincoln Theatre last week the stock company which had been engaged to present late Broadway successes was cut down to a five-person company to present thirty minutes' skits, so that the resumption of big time vaudeville acts and first run photophots might continue to fill the program. Occupying the top-line position on the bill last week was Miss Lottie Grady. Miss Grady sang three brand new songs, and for each song a new gown adorned her slender and graceful figure. Miss Grady also rendered realistic limitations of the late George Walker, Aida Overton and Bort Williams. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. William (Bojangles) Robinson is at the Grand Theatre, Chicago. C. H. Douglass, proprietor of the Douglass Theatre, 359 Broadway, Macon, Ga., has taken a lease on the Hotel Tracey building, 1223 Broadway, Macon, and is remodeling it preparatory to opening another theatre.

The company has been producing at the Baltimore house the same dramatic successes presented at the Lafayette Theatre, New York, and the Howard Theatre, Washington, with the Lafayette stock companies. Baltimore people have not given sufficient support to this form of amusement and the promoters changed their policy on Monday, October 30, when Frank Montgomery was presented in a musical comedy, "From Speedville to Broadway," with a company of thirty fayores in the supporting cast. ```markdown ``` String Beans and Benbow, with their company, are in the second week of an engagement at the Booker Washington Theatre, St. Louis.

Tuskegee Wins First Game Tuskegee, Ala.—Tuskegee played its first game of the season here on October 21, defoating Morris Brown University, of Atlanta, by the score of 18 to 0. Tuskegee score was registered in the last quarter of the game. More than three-fourths of the contest was marred by Tuskegee's defelction in carrying the ball. Tuskegee's goal was never in danger. Two forward passes and one brilliant sprint brought the Atlanta team three first downs. The touchdowns and a goal were made within seven minutes of play. Football at Luscele Nero Football at Lincoln University. elevate of Lincoln University brought home her haul in its initial contest of the season when it defeated the big Lampington football team by a score of twelve to nothing. Hail teams battled up and down the field three quarters of the struggle with no result. The last quarter began and two minutes after the ball was in play Archer carried the ball from the twenty-yield line through right tackle for a touchdown. With only four minutes to play, the Lampington quarterback threw a forward pass which was intercepted by Halley on the forty-yard line, who ran the ball back through a broken field within three yards of the goal. Then Douglass and Howell drove a hole through left tackle and Smith plowed his way across the line. "Beauty" Clinton sustained an injury during the summer while driving a mustang, receiving a badly gashed leg. He is now in good shape. Sporting Notes Wanderbilt A. C. Brooklyn—Lass Friday night Eddie Dorsey, the recognized colored lightweight champion of the world, met Walter Mohr, the foremost white lightweight of Brooklyn, in the star bout of the evening and defeated him very easily. At no time during the ten rounds did Mohr show at any advantage over his clever colored opponent, who continually met his rushes with lightning jabs, and whenever Mohr got in close, he found Dorsey's uppercut waiting for him. Dorsey, the Philadelphia crack lightweight, is making great strides toward the lightweight championship and every fight shows him getting better and much cleverer. Jesse McMahon picked a sure winner when he took over the managership of this great little fighter and he keeps him very busy. Dorsey's next bout will be with Young, Lustig at Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue. Harlem Sporting Club, 135th Street and Madison Avenue—Last Friday night John Lester Johnson, the premier colored lightweight fighter of New York, a boy who has been fighting with much success lately, added another victim to his record when he knocked out Jim Savage, of Orange, N. J., in two rounds. This bout was to be the star bout of ten rounds, but the white man, who outweighed Johnson by ten pounds, could not stand the aggressiveness of the colored fighter and succumbed when Johnson caught him with a stiff left to the jaw in the second round. Weight—Johnson 180; Savage 190. 190 Fairmount A. C., The Bronx—Last Saturday night in the star bout of the evening Bill Watkins, who has been out of the game for six months, made his appearance in his first mixed bout, when he met and defeated Sailor Grande. Watkins, who is very clever and a very stiff-puncher, had little trouble securing the decision on account of his aggressiveness. Several times he had his opponent in distress with his hard rights to the jaw and left to the body and when the tenth round terminated the Sailor was a much battered man. Watkins left the ring without a mark. Weights—Grande 193; Watkins 187. Vanderbilt A. C.—Last Monday evening in the star bout of the evening Willie Langford, who is fighting in great form lately met Johnny Kid Alberts and it was nip and tuck between these two middleweights all during the first seven rounds. But, in the last three rounds Langford cut loose and had Alberts in a bad way when the gong sounded to end the fight, in the tenth round. Langford caught Alberts some nice blows which looked as if they should have knocked any one out, but they lacked the steam behind them. Weights—Langford 155; Alberts 154. Harvey (Kid) Hoy, matchmaker of the Zenobia A. C., Toledo, Ohio, has authorized me to publish this item for the benefit of the colored fighters all over the country. The Zenobia A. C. wishing to stage first-class bouts, and knowing that there are many claimants to the bantamweight championship, featherweight, welterweight and middleweight, and wishing to settle this dispute, will offer five championship belts for the respective classes and any colored fighter in the country can compete for them. But the winner of any of these belts must be open to meet any one at his weight when he has won a belt. Now, Matchmaker Hoy is well versed in pugilistic business, and doing much in his town toward putting the Zenobia A. C. in good standing with Toledians and the boxing commissioners by living up to his promises and giving the fight fans good cards at all his shows. The club he represents being he finds it impossible to offer large purses to the fighters that come out there, but he will give any of them a reasonable guarantee. He has already signed up the sensational welterweight of this town, K. O. Lou Williams, to meet Joe Stegall the latter part of the month. Those wanting to compete at this club, address A.

Earl: Stringbean Williams, Harvey, Handy, Santon, Miller, Gatewood, Hewitt, Webster, Redding, Hocher. --- Olympic Field, 136 Street and 5th Avenue.—The Lincoln Giants annexed another double-header to their credit when they defeated the Highbridge Athletics and the Minor Leaguers.

XXX No. 6 UNION WILL NOT PROTECT NEGRO When Italian Hod Carriers Strike, Colored Men are Put to Work. Are Taken Into Hod Carriers Union Before Being Employed, and are Paid Union Wager, $3.40 Per Day of Eight Hours. END STRIKE, MEN PUT OFF 200 to 300 Men Give Faithful Service to Construction Companies, the Work Going Forward Without Delay. But When Strike Is Settled and Italians Return, All Negro Workmen are Discharged. When the Italian hod carriers, members of the International Hod Carriers' Building and Common Laborers' Union of American, at 201 East 125th street, became grieved on account of some differences with their officers and withdrew from that organization, a strike was precipitated which affected building operations on many buildings in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn. Many of these buildings were in the Riverside Drive district. The striking Italians formed an independent organization, called Local No. 110, but the international body refused to recognize the men. The boss masons could not recognize this new union because of their working agreement with the international organization. As a solution of this labor problem, two of the construction companies, the Mayo Construction Co., erecting a building on Pork Street and Academy avenue, Riverside Drive, and the Peeperless Products Co., erecting a building at 169th street and Shakespeare avenue, sent representatives to the office of the National Urban League, and requested that colored men be furnished to take the place of the striking Italians. This was done, and colored men, both members and non-members of the union, were sent to these jobs. The non-members were made members of the union before being put to work, the construction companies facilitating this by paying for them the imitation fee of $5 per man. Colored men to the number of from two hundred to three hundred thus became members of the union and were put to work on these construction jobs throughout Greater Manhattan, other construction companies following the example of the two already mentioned. They were paid union wages, $3.40 per day of eight hours. Italians Threaten to Use Bombs. Naturally, the striking Italians objected to this procedure, and they swarmed in large numbers around the buildings, trying to induce the colored men to quit work. Finding milder methods unavailing, they resorted to threats of Black Hand bombs and dynamite. The striking Italians numbered approximately 6,000, and greatly outnumbered the Negroes at work. As a consequence the colored men thought it best to have an understanding with their employers in regard to the protection to be afforded. Mr. Dreyfius, a representative of the Mayho Construction Co., called on James Christian, of 552 Lenox avenue, who acted as spokesman for the colored men, and assured him that protection would be given the colored workmen. Under this assurance, all the men staid on the jobs. Settle Strike. Discharge Negroes. At 12 o'clock on Friday, October 27, without previous notice, it was announced that the companies had reached an agreement with the striking factories and the colored men, notwithstanding that they were regular members, in good standing, of the International Hod Carriers' and Common Laborers' Union of America, were discharged from all of the jobs. The men are very much disappointed at the failure of the union to ensure the permanency of their work, but it appears that no effort was made by the union officials to protect them. As soon as terms of adjustment were agreed upon with the striking Jalianis, every Negro employed on the various jobs, union member though he be, was continually discharged.

White Hill Billies Say Family Must Leave for Sakai of Peace and Best Interests of Community-500 Acres of Land to be Sacrificed by November 15- White Outlaws will Probably Get It. (Special to THE NEW YORK AU.) ABERVILLE, S. C.—Following their action in lynching Anthony Crawford, a well-to-do farmer, who was courageous enough to defend himself from an assault by a white man, the brave and gallant white men of this community, to the number of more than a hundred, have decided that the five Crawford boys who survive their father must leave this neighborhood. Their declared reason for making this demand is that it is for the sake of peace and for the best interest of the community. The hundred or more farmers, or hill billies, as they are known, wanted to call on the boys in a body, but citizens of the town persuaded them to allow a committee of citizens to 'see the boys. This was done, and the boys asked to be given until November 15 to wind up their business affairs. Mr. Crawford owned about 500 acres of land and was reputed to ge worth considerable money. The request of the boys was granted. Whites Will Get Property. It is well understood that even with the time granted it will be impossible for the Crawford boys to effect any advantageous arrangement for disposing of their holdings, and so brave white farmers will probably take advantage of the opportunity to secure slices of the fine Crawford properties at nominal prices. Later in the day, after this arrangement had been settled upon, the billiards became dissatisfied because they didn't go in a bunch to run the boys out of town, this feeling being helped on, undoubtedly, by resorting to illegal dispenses of alcoholic beverages, and so the crowd what about the town to the various places of business conducted by colored men and demanded that they shut up their shops. The better element of the town's citizenry, judiciously mingling with the crowd, effectually prevented any actual outbreak of violence against the colored shopkeepers, who closed their shops and kept out of the way. With the departure of the outlaw gang from the city, the excitement died out, and the next day the Negroes were allowed to take up their business pursuits. But the edict against the Crawford boys stands, and they must sacrifice everything and leave the community JERSEY REPUBLICANS (Special to THE NEW YORK AUSTRALIA) ENGLEWOOD, N. J.—The colored republicans of Bergen County, New Jersey, are winding up the campaign with a series of enthusiastic mass meetings at various points. Well attended rallies were held Tuesday night at Rutherford and Wednesday night at Hackensack, John R. Ramsey, candidate for Congress, and Counsel I. H. Nutter, of Atlantic City, were the speakers. Thursday, November 2, will be a big day. Two hundred automobiles will be used by colored Republicans in a tour of Bergen County, led by Senator Edge, candidate for Governor, and Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, candidate for United States Senator. The tour will wind up Thursday night with a mammoth demonstration at Englewood Lyceum, when both candidates, together with local candidates, will speak. On Saturday night, November 4, the Colored G. O. P. Club of Hackensack, will hold a-mass meeting, and on Monday night, November 6, the Englewood Republicans will close with a whoop-emup meeting at the famous Fourth Ward Colored Republican Club house. The Colored State Republican Bureau at Trenton has appointed Charles B. Hinton of Englewood, to hold the series of Bergen County meetings. FOOTBALL TO DATE CHARACTER AMBITION EDUCATION MONEY PATH OF PROGRESS KICKING HIM BACK DUBOIS COMPARES VOTE Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, in a lengthy article on "Why the South is in the Saddle, advises colored voters to support Charles E. Hughes for President and makes an interesting comparison of the Southern and Northern vote. It is shown that in 1912 New York, with 45 electors, cast 1,587,983 votes, while Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, together with 45 electors, cast 354,987 votes. In Alabama the combined vote of the nine Democratic Congressmen was but 75,528, while the combined vote of eight Congressmen from Kansas was 485,683 Hethin from Alabama, whose only claim to fame has been the introduction of anti-Negro measures, was "elected" to Congress by 8,100 votes. In Mississippi Sisson, another arch enemy of the Negro, received 4,899 votes. The lowest vote received by any Congressman from Kansas was 46,185. "It would seem," says Dr. Dubois, "that each Mississippi voter (and only white men vote in Mississippi) casts thirteen votes where a Kansas voter casts one. We ask in all candor how long is Republican government going to endure such circumstances? How long is this, the most burning question of American democracy, going to be 'let alone' by patriotic Americans?" NEW YORKERS TAKING PART IN CAMPAIG James W. Johnson, contributing editor of The New York Age, is speaking this week in the State of Massachusetts in the interest of the Republican candidates, Hughes and Fairbanks. The Rev. Richard M.

His candidacy has been endorsed by the Non-Partisan Campaign Committee, a committee of the Bronx, Bar Association and the Bronx Voters' League. Justice Mullan was born forty-four years ago in the Yorkville section, and for the past twelve years has resided in the Bronx. He served the city as a member of the Tax Board from early in 1914 until the fall of 1915. In February, 1916, he resigned as a member of the Court House board to accept the appointment of Justice of the Supreme Court made vacant by the death of Justice Brady. The following signed statement has been issued by Charles W. Anderson in advocacy of Justice Mullan's election to the Supreme bench: "It is the duty, the immediate duty, of every colored voter in Manhattan and the Bronx to elect a Justice of the Supreme Court who will stand fourrights, and to see to it that the shall not subvert justice in that high tribunal. Justice George V. Mullan is in character and conduct, in wisdom and sagacity, in Justice and in legal learning the peer of any man on the Supreme Court. I have known him for twenty years. He is not only a distinguished lawyer but one who has led a life of unspotted honor. For years he has been interested in the welfare of his fellow citizens; he is one of the strongest supporters of Mr. Looker T. Washington I want to appeal to every colored voter in Manhattan and the Bronx, who has the interests of his race at heart to test a vote on election day for the Supreme Court. I for Justice of the Supreme Court. As colored men, we should remember that the courts alone can secure us in the rights which the Constitution gives us. We should be careful not to be lowered.

MIMPS, TENN - At the close of the registration books for Shelley county, 12,208 Negroes had paid their poll taxes and entered their names as registered voters out of a total registration of about 34,250. That this exceptionally large number of voters might know how to mark the ballot, which measures 28 inches, with 102 names, voting schools have been held at which competent persons instructed the registered voters how to mark the those who would read were shown how to vote for all Republican nominees, while the illiterate voters were shown how to "single-shot" their ballots for Overall, the Republican candidate for Governor. This was done to prevent invalidating of the ballot by incorrect marking. The following colored men have been nominated by the Negro Republicans For Congressman, 19th District—Wayman Wilkerson. For Florateral Senator, Shelby and Tipton Counties—T. H. Hayes. For State Senator, 32nd District—H M. Romar For State Senator, 33rd District—B M. Roddy.

COLORED VOTERS UNITED TO DEFEAT WILSON AND DESTROY UN-AMERICANISM Race Leaders of Various States are Working Harmoniously to Bring About Election of Hughes and Fairbanks. ALL SIGNS POINT TO G. O. P. VICTORY Preachers Speak from Pulpit in Support of Republican Nominees Charles W. Anderson Predicts that Hughes and Whitman Will Win—Encouraging Reports from Debatable States. The great political drive is on in earnest! Republicans plan to bring about the evacuation of Washington, D. C., by Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic Party on and after March 4. However, the presence of new and more agreeable tenants in the White Home depends on the successful culmination of this mighty onslaught on November 7. United, aggressive and confident, the Grand Old Party is waging a red-hot attack which forecasts the defeat of the enemy, who, although fighting back desperately, will be put to rout on election day. Already the enemy is skidding. Republicans have adopted every honorable and effective method to win the big drive now going on. The floodgates of oratory have been opened pajer, literature, despite the scarcity of pajer, has been scattered broadcast, and all records for letter-writing have been broken in this concerted movement to introduce Woodrow Wilson and his hosts to their Waterloo. THE COLORED VOTE. We have heard much during the campaign about the German-American vote, the labor vote and the women's vote. Very little, if anything, has been said in the daily press about the colored vote, which is going to be a big factor in putting Charles E. Hughes in the White House and in giving him a Republican Congress to aid him in effectively carrying out his policies. German-Americans are said to be opposed to the re-election of Mr. Wilson because of his alleged unfriendly attitude toward women. Germany. Suffragists are said to be against him because he has misquoted on the question of giving the woman the ballot. But the grievance or colored Americans against the President of the United States is more personal, real and justifiable. To them he is looked upon as a false friend and a dangerous enemy; for before his election he voluntarily made promises which he has failed to keep, and has been a principal to the biggest anti-Negro propaganda since the Civil War, which was inaugurated to impede the Negro's progress. There are over 700,000 colored voters above the Mason and Dixon's line. After election figures will show that the colored vote presented, a more solid front for the election of Hughes and Earlbanks than either the German-American or the telegraph. Never before has the registration of colored voters in the doubtful states been so heavy, and political prognosticators assert that this is an indication of the Negro's whole souled interest. He is even making financial contributions to further the interest of the Republican candidates as never before. Four years ago, the Republican difference impaled of colored voters, discouraged over the split in the Republican Party, failed to register or stayed at home on election day. Most of those who voted supported Theodore Roosevelt, while not a few voted for William H. Tafa and Woodrow Wilson. Now the Republican and Progressives are united, and a colored Wilson supporter is a rarity. Even colored Tammyanites are espousing Mr. Hughes' cause, putting race above party. In Cleveland, Chieago, St. Louis and other cities where colored men support The New York Age IS RELIABLE. WHEN YOU SEE IT IN "THE AGE" YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT. NEWS THAT IS INFORMING.

HARMONY PREVAILS. For once one may refer the unity existing among Negroes in a literal sense. It is a fact. Smarting under the injustice heaped upon them by Woodrow Wilson and Southern Democrats, the colored people have joined hands to bring about the downfall of their political enemies. Personal antisites and past differences have been laid aside, and all are working together for the common good of the race. The campaign is the harmonious manner in which the colored advisory committee to the Republican National Committee is working. Charles W. Anderson, one of the most astute politicians in the country, white or colored, is chairman of this committee, and influential politicians of the race are co-operating with him in the interest of the Republican nominees. For the first time in history the colored committee occupies a suite of rooms in the same building with the other heads of the Republican campaign, and no evidence of " Jim Crowism" is apparent anywhere. Colored ministers in the Northern States are taking an active part in the campaign, believing that it is their duty to show members of the race the importance of defeating Wilson and electing Hughes. Communications received by Mr. Anderson from ministers in debatable states are most gratifying. They announce their willingness to take part in the grand drive by urging colored voters to support Charles E. Hughes from the pulpit. MINISTERS ACTIVE FOR HUGHES. Some of the statements made by well known unmasters relative to working in the interest of the Republican Party follow "It seems to me that our failure to elect Mr. Hughes would not only be a racial but a National and worldwide disaster. I shall be very glad to do all in my limited power to aid his election" Rev. A. W.-Puller, pastor of the People's Baptist Church, Boston, Mass. "I shall certainly emphasize from my pulpit the grave necessity of every Negro working for the election of Charles E. Hughes." Rev. F. Clarence Van Buren, pastor of the Smith Street African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. "Electing Charles E. Hughes President is truly God's work. I shall preach *\* *\* a sermon with all the power heaven will give me for the success of our Grand Old Party." Rev. B. W. Smith, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Great Barrington, Mass. "I shall do all I can to get my people to a man to vote the whole Republican ticket. I believe that Mr. Hughes will keep his word." Rev. C. C. Ringgold, Hackensack, N. J. "New Bedford, from all appearances, is sold for Mr. Hughes. I will, however, be glad to comply with your request in preaching a sermon on the subject suggested, and will make the appeal as direct as possible." Rev. D. Ormonde Walker, New Bedford, Mass/ "I certainly agree with you that no stone should be left outurned to help elect the Hon Charles E. Hughes. I have been and am now actively interested in the election, and shall be glad to deliver a sermon pointing to what I believe to be the christian duty of every Negro pastor, and I might add, to duty of every member of the Negro Church, Rev. W. A. Ray, pastor of the Wesley Union A. M. E. Zion Church, Harrisburgh, Pa. "I am throwing my full weight of influence behind Mr. Hughes' election! How can any minister of the Negro. race do otherwise? * * * If Christianity means anything to humanity, it means the full enjoyment of manhood rights and the opportunity to develop all of the abilities and capabilities essential to the making of life worth while." Rev. A. L. Scott, pastor of the Fourth Methodist Episcopal Church, Boston, Mass. "After reading your acceptable letter and the two enclosed parishbirds you sent me my heart burns with righteous indignation and holy zeal for the good and welfare of my race and country and the election of Hughes and Fairbanks." Rev. Henry Sawyer, pastor of Grace A. M. E. Zion Church, Wilmington, Del. "I shall do all in my might, God being my helper, to give the Grand Old Republican Party victory." Rev. A. R. Shaw, Salisbury, Md. MR. ANDERSON OPTIMISTIC. Reports from doubtful states have the Republican Party. Even in Missouri such experienced campaigners as Constable Charles H. Turpin and Charles Turner predict that the State, due to the loyalty of the Negro vote, will go Republican. Charles E. Mitchell wires from West Virginia that indications point to success for the Republican ticket in that State. Reports from Illinois are most encouraging. Phil Brown, who is in charge of the colored heart quarters at Chicago, says Illinois will be found in the Republican column, also Kentucky. The colored women will help swell the Republican figures in Illinois. This is what Charles W. Anderson, chairman of the Colored Advisory Committee to the Republican National Committee, thinks of the outlook. Committee thinks of the outdoors I feel confident of the election of Hughes and Fairbanks. I feel equally confident of the triumphant re-election of Governor Whitman and the entire Republican ticket of this State. I realize that a large number of Union laboring men have been delineated into the-belief that the so-called eight- hour law was intended to help the working-men of the country. But the indications are multiple and strong that the natural leaders among them are now coming to see what has been so long apparent to thinking men, the law is a mere watch-penny device to capture votes. I expect Mr Hughes to have at least 285 votes in the electoral college. I not only feel sure of his election, but feel certain that the colored voters of the country will deserve the credit of having saved the day for the Republican ticket. Never before have the colored press and clergy given such unanimous and unselfish support, nor performed such real service for the cause, and candidates of our party. This is admirable as it is unusual "Every race has at some time in its history had to face the problem of its destiny. The Negro is facing his in this campaign. If Mr. Wilson is re-elected his Negro-hating policy will have received the endorsement of the American people, and the harm to the race will be almost reparable. Every Negro should, therefore, work and pray for the election of Hughes and Fairbanks. Every mother and wife of the race should see to it that the voters in their families cast their ballots early on election morning." Charles Cottrell writes from Ohio as follows: "The colored vote of Ohio was never in such good shape is now. There is enthusiasm nearly everywhere, and I am satisfied that not a handful of men of our race in the State of Ohio will vote for Wilson in the coming election. The registration of our voters is up to the standard. The colored voters are thoroughly organized, and we have reached practically every one of the more than 50,000 colored voters of Ohio." W. H. Higgins, of Providence, R. I. and Edgar B. Howard, secretary of the Republican Club of Portland, Me. write that the colored voters in their respective states are for Hughes and are bending every effort to help put them in the Presidential chair. INCREASE IN MARYLAND BALTIMORE. Mm.-Reports coming in from different sections of the State indicate that Charles E. Hughes is growing in strength. This does not mean that the State will cast its electoral vote for the Republicans, as it did in 1906 and 1900, but shows that there is much hostility to Woodrow Wilson. Twice since 1900 Maryland's electoral vote has been split, but the Democrats got the lion's share. Substantial business and professional men of Democratic leanings have expressed their dissatisfaction with the Wilson policies, and a number have announced that Hughes will get their votes. Many of this type of men will also vote for Dr. Joseph I. France, Republican candidate for United States Senator. They regard David J. Lewis, his Democratic opponent, as being too socialistic in his views. The Democrats will not elect all Congressmen, as they have done in the past past two elections. The Republicans have a fighting chance in three districts and are reasonably sure of two others. That Maryland is considered debatable ground is indicated by the prominent Republicans of both races who have been here. Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, Henry Lincoln Johnson and Joseph Johnson are among the men who have been here in an effort to "ginger up" the colored voters. There are about 45,000 registered colored voters in Maryland more than 10,000 of whom are Baltimore. The Baltimore city and the "wet" counties will vote on a local option bill. The fight has been stubbornly waged on both sides. The Rev. L. G. Jordan, the Rev C. A. Tindley, both of Philadelphia; the Rev J. N. C. Coggins, of Georgia; Mrs. Eliza Peterson, of Texas, and others have spoken in all parts of the city this week for the "drys." It is not thought that Baltimore will vote "dry." "Dolbs is a man of unusual intelligence." "Think so?" "I do. His views in general are very like my own." NEGRO PASTOR WANTED WHITE ORGAN FIXER BALTIMORE, Md.—The question of repairs to the pipe organ in the Independent A. M. E. Zion Church, this city, brought out a statement by the Rev. L. C. Curtis, pastor, that no colored organ repairer was wanted for the job as the trustees of the church had voted specifically for the employment of a white man. The arm of Sidney T. Nummo & Son is one of the largest piano and organ firms in the city, and so the Rev. Mr. Curtis gave the order to that firm. Young Nummo went to the church to do the job but, as he was familiar only with reed organs, he could not repair the pipe organ. He left word to that effect for the preacher. Curtis made inquiry from the senior Nummo who informed him that Walter Pinderhughes, a colored man, would be sent to fix the organ. Pinderhughes had been in the Nummo's employ for eight years and is regarded as one of the best mechanics in the city. But the preacher informed the piano man that no Negro was wanted, as the trustees had ordered that the work be done by a white man. He was told by Nimmo that a man should be recognized by his ability, not by his color, and that he was showing more prejudice against his own race than was shown by a white man. Nimmo refused, although requested by Curtis, to recommend a white firm to do the job. DOCTOR ASAULTED AND EJECTED FROM PULLMAN MEMPHIS, TENN.—As the result of a brutal attack by three white men, whojected him from a Pullman sleeper on which he was riding enroute to this city from St. Louis, Dr. J. E. White is in a hospital here being treated for his injuries. Dr. White left New York on October 9 for Missouri, where he intends entering upon the practice of medicine, intending to visit friends in Memphis, he left St. Louis on October 11, occupying a berth on the Pullman sleeper attached to the Iron Mountain train, a division of the Missouri-Jacobie. A few miles out of Memphis three white men, not passengers, it appeared, entered the car, evidently for that particular purpose, and after assaulting Dr. White, ejected him from the car. Incidentally, they relieved him of his purse. He has entered suit in the Federal Court for damages to the amount of $10,000, with Attorney Booth of this city as his lawyer. $100,000 BUILDING FOR PITTBURGH ASSN, PITTIBURGH, PA.—The campaign to raise $10,000 from the colored people of this city is under way, with J. E. Moreland, national secretary, in charge, Julius Roszwald of Chicago, will give $25,000, and the board of directors of the white association will give $65,000. The new building is to be erected on Center avenue on the site of the present building. The Campaign Committee is composed of Hezekiah Anderson, chairman; John T. Writt, Attorney R. L. Vann, Spottswood Turner, Dr. G. G. Turtley, T. M. Tate, Attorney W. H. Stanton, Dr J. B Shenard, C W. Posey, G. H. Newman, J-C. Morton, D. R. Lewis, Dr C. H Carroll and Dr G. H Bolling. $9.908 FOR HEATING PLANT AT VOORHEES CHICAGO, ILL. J. O. Thomas, principal of the Voorhees Normal and Industrial School, Denmark, S. C., who has been in Chicago in interest of his school, announces that his institution has just received a check for $9,908, to be used to complete the central heating plant at Voorhees. TERRELLS CELEBRATE SILVER ANNIVERSARY Washington, D. C. -Saturday evening, October 28, Judge and Mrs. Robert 11 Terrell celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. From 8 until 12 o'clock their handsome home on 7 street was crowded with hundreds of friends who came to offer felicitations The scene was one of rare beauty and charm. Great masses of chrysanthemums and toilage with rich, autumnal colors had been arranged artistically on mantle and chandelier. Tall, graceful palms in profusion, mingled with garlands of purple and gold, were basked in the sleeve of the drawing room. These decorations formed a frame for a delightful picture, in the foreground of which were the chief figures to welcome the guests—Judge and Mrs. Terrell, their two lovely daughters, Mary and Phyllis, Miss Annette Clare Church, the sister of Mrs. Terrell, Mrs. R, R. Church, Jr. her sister-in-law and little Sara Roberta, the three-year-old daughter of Mrs. Church, the flower girl of the occasion. Among the guests were all the leading figures in Washington colored life in its various activities—social, educational, religious and professional. Rarely has there been seen in this city so many and such exquisite gifts as were showered upon Justice and Mrs. Terrell. One of the largest jewelers in Washington stated that he had received on one day more orders for presents for some than from all other custoners combined. No article of the silversmith's skill and ingenuity seemingly had been ignored by the donors. There were massive pieces, pieces of fragile delicacy, pieces of unique and quant design.

LEDGER PRIZE AWARDS CAUSE MUCH COMMENT The awarding of third prize in the Philadelphia *Public Ledger* editorial writing contest to James W. Johnson, contributing editor of THE NEW YORK Va., attracted a great deal of attention, not only among his friends in the race whose pride was largely personal, but it has called forth many commemorative letters and utterances from members of other races. It was interesting to note that the Public Ledger, on its Sunday following the award of the prizes, in which the photographs of successful contestants were featured gave space to two letters only, both of which were from *Ledger* readers of the Caucasian race. Both letters referred to the editorial written by James Weldon Johnson. One of the writers, William Wallace Brown, was an assistant attorney general under Presidents Roosevelt and Taft. The letters referred to read in part as follows: To the Editor of Public Ledger Sir In my simple judgment the prize contest editorial written by J Weldon Johnson best by the prize editorials and should be awarded the $500 Why would it not have been a good idea after the national committee had awarded the prizes to have kept the secret, published the description of the prize, opened (gender subtleties of preferred) and allowed the readers of the Public Ledger also to have passed judgment as to the awards? As far as the decision of the worth of the奖 at kind I would rather have the judgment of the readers of the Public Ledger as a final than I would the judgments passed by the necessary partisan committees. It is not too late yet R E H CAMPION Cifton Heights, Pa.

Wilson's misconceptions of duty are stated with vigor, directness and candor, nowhere to be found in the prize editorial of Mr. Bobbitt. WILLIAM WALLACE BROWN. JUDD MALVIN DIES IN WASHINGTON, D. C.

THURSDAY, NOV. 2, 1916 There comes a time in the life of every individual and every race when personal considerations must be put aside for the promotion of larger and more vital questions. Just such a situation confronts the Negro in the United States today. His immediate progress is a matter of grave concern. No member of the race should permit himself to be impelled by financial or other petty considerations to support Woodrow Wilson and Southern Democracy at the polls next Tuesday. To do so would mean a betrayal of race and the abandonment of all self-respect. Colored voters, be they Democrats, Socialists or Prohibitionists, should ignore former party affiliations in this election. "Race above party" should be the slogan. Hughes and Fairbanks should be supported to a man. By so doing the Negro will materially assist in removing a dangerous enemy to the race and to the progress of this country and it will win a larger measure of respect from all white people who, regardless of political convictions, believe in fair play, equal opportunity and undiluted Americanism. THE EDITOR. Every colored minister of the gospel ought to find time next Sunday to advise the voters in his congregation to support Hughes and Fairbanks. In making such a plea from the pulpit they could not be charged with playing politics. Woodrow Wilson, as President, has broken the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." Make it your business to vote the STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN Ticket on Tuesday, November 7. Vote Early and Avoid the Rush. Vote against the Democratic Party and DEFEAT WILSON. The re-election of Charles S. Whitman as Governor of New York, the election of William M. Calder to the United States Senate, and the success of the other candidates on the State ticket with Mr. Whitman seem assured. But the colored voters of the State of New York must not take things for granted. Make the election of the Republican nominees a certainty by voting the straight Republican ticket. Vote early. In Tennessee, the spectacle of colored men as candidates on the Republican ticket for important State offices should awaken the colored voters of that State to a keen realization of their duty to the race and nation in this important crisis. They should be fired with the battle cry made many, many years ago in this country: "Taxation without representation is tyranny," and vote for every member of the race aspiring for office.

We reproduce the following editorial, which appeared in the The Sun of October 28, 1916: A Fraction of Humanity Woodrow Wilson Neglects. "As between right and wrong," said Woodrow Wilson, speaking in Cincinnati, "there can be no neutrality," and he added that "It is the part of the community that is least vocal that needs interpreting. It is the map on the farm, in the factory and down in the mine who needs our Do colored men fully realize that the coming election brings with it a crisis in the history of the race? Do they fully realize what the election of Woodrow Wilson will mean for us as a people? If, in his first term Woodrow Wilson has gone so far in his Anti-Negro policy, what are we to expect if he receives the endorsement of the country for a second term? Do colored men fully realize what the race has lost in the past three and a half years? It has lost the national political status which it has been fifty years in winning. Do colored men fully realize what would happen in four more years under Woodrow Wilson? The race would practically lose its national citizenship. What then is the duty of colored men who vote in the states where their votes are counted and count for something? It is their duty not only to vote for Charles E. Hughes, but to do all in their power to help defeat Woodrow Wilson. We repeat that nothing is farther from our choice than to have to take up this issue. We should prefer, as simple American citizens, to consider only the general issues that affect the general welfare. But this issue is forced upon us, and we can do nothing less than accept it. Nevertheless, in taking up this issue, we are not guilty of any hyphenism. We are not seeking the advantage of any outside power, at the expense of the United States. We are simply seeking, as Americans of undivided loyalty, to maintain our status and rights as citizens. If we do not succeed in doing that, all other issues will be of no importance to us. We know there is no danger that colored men will vote for Woodrow Wilson—no self-respecting Negro can do that—but there is danger that, either through negligence or apathy, many may not vote at all. That is why we say, "Wake up. colored men! Wake up!" This is no time for negligence or apathy. We are facing a crisis in the history of the race. For once, let us show that we have our own vital interests at heart. Let us work and sacrifice, if necessary, to protect those interests. Let every colored man in all the free states cast his vote for Charles E. Hughes and the Republican party, the only party, whatever might be its shortcomings, that stands between us and political annihilation. Let him cast that vote early. If it means a sacrifice of time and money to cast that vote, let him make the sacrifice gladly, for he is voting not only for himself, but for his children. Let every colored man in the free states who has the future of the race at heart, make himself an agent to get out the negligent and apathetic colored vote: Let him not be satisfied with casting his own vote, but let him make it his duty to see that others do not neglect to vote. Finally, let every colored man in the free states vote not only the national Republican ticket, but also the state Republican ticket. Whatever other party he may have heretofore affiliated with in local politics, let him this time vote the Republican ticket from top to bottom. Let us remember that we hold the only political protection for our brethren in the South. Let us not forget that their fate is largely in our hands. Let us remember that a vote cast for Democratic state government in New York is a vote cast for Democratic oppression throughout the South. Vote unitedly for Republicanism. Vote to defeat the Democrats. Make it your business to vote the STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET on Tuesday, November 7. Vote Early and Avoid the Rush. Vote against the Democratic Party and DEFEAT WILSON. SECRETARY BAKER'S EXPLANATION. Mr. Baker, President Wilson's Secretary of War, is having a hard time explaining the speech he made in Jersey City on October 16. The secretary's speech, as it was published at the time, aroused a storm of indignation throughout the country and caused a number of patriotic societies, including the Daughters of the American Revolution, to demand his removal from office for slandering the heroes of 76. Here is the trouble-brewing part of Mr. Baker's speech as taken down by a stenographer present at the meeting, and which he certifies as a verbatim account of the Secretary's remarks. "Some people say they cannot understand the President's Mexican policy, and I want to tell you why. They have forgotten our own 'history and the Declaration of Independence.' Why are we impatient at the Mexicans? We say they do not respect the lives and property of our people. Perhaps they don't. We say they do not pay their honest debts. They don't. We say they are a rag- attention and needs to be inter- gated Americans of African descent. The man on the farm speaks through the Grange, the Farmers Alliance, associations and societies of agriculturists too numerous to mention. The man in the factory and the man down in the mite is heard through trade unions, labor organizations; and the man on the farm, the man in the factory, the man down in the mimes never speaks without commanding respectful attention from politicians. But there is one section of the population that is practically unarticulate. It comprises a dozen millions or so of Americans whose condition excites the pity of philanthropists and stirs the fears of statesmen. It is the great Nepro population whose status, from whatever viewpoint it is observed, presents the gravest problems. When Mr. Wilson exposes his love for humanity, his devotion to the oppressed, his looming to serve the unfortunate and down-trodden, we are filled with wonder that his great soul has never been cultured in behalf of repressed and despotically subju- ```markdown ``` REVIEWS ED MEN! WAKE UP! Are there that the coming election brings of the race?

Colored men who vote in the state and count for something? It is the James E. Hughes, but to do all in the Wilson. Further from our choice than to have and prefer, as simple American citizen issues that affect the general welfare, and we can do nothing less than up this issue, we are not guilty seeking the advantage of any outside United States.

In the coming election the people of Florida will be called upon to vote on an amendment frankly designed to eliminate the Negro vote as far as it can be accomplished without violating the Constitution of the United States. Florida is one of the States that has been hardest hit by the Negro exodus; and it is one that has complained loudest. In Jacksonville, the white citizens besought the colored citizens to assist in checking the movement. In all these years Florida has --- --- multiple times.

We say their money is not any good. We say they do not respect church property. That is also true. "The amazing thing is that people never respect these things in a revolution. We had a revolution, and from the beginning to the end of that the conditions in this country were so like Mexico that it is perfectly astounding to read. "Washington's soldiers in the march to Valley Forge stole everything they could lay their hands on. They stole the silver vessels from the churches and melted them up to buy things to drink. They drove ministers of the gospel and preachers of churches out of their churches and out of the country. The money of the so-called confederation was so worthless that when they tried to make the merchants take it the latter hid their provisions in their cellars." Ever since the morning of October 17, Mr. Baker has been kept busy denying these remarks in a general way. He has repeatedly stated that he could not possibly remember just what he said, because he had spoken without any notes, but that he was sure he never said anything slanderous about the men of '76. Under the flaying of Theodore Roosevelt, Secretary Baker has been stung into making a public statement. This statement is in the form of a letter to the Democratic National Committee. In our opinion, parts of the denial put Mr. Baker in a worse light than some of the things he was charged with saying. A part of his denial is as follows: - "I cannot give the exact words of my Jersey City address, as I had neither manuscript nor notes. Neither have I seen in any complete form just what I am reported to have said. But, the substance and spirit of what I did say I can easily reproduce. "I started by describing the condition of Mexico under Diaz, the destitution and misery of the people, the revolution headed by Madero and its success. I then described Madero's assassination, the part played by Huerta, the refusal of the United States to recognize Huerta and his ultimate disappearance as a factor in the revolution. I then turned to the present condition of affairs in Mexico and asked whether they justified intervention on any truly American theory. "I described their revolution as incomplete and asked what would have become of our own revolution of 1776-1789 if some foreign power had become tired of the unsettled condition of our country and had intervened to establish its theory of government instead of allowing our fathers to establish our liberties and give to the world the first real free government in history." Secretary Baker was charged with slandering the individual acts of some of Washington's soldiers; his denial of that charge contains a slander of the whole Revolutionary cause. The men of '76 fought to throw off a foreign yoke and gain national independence. Now if Secretary Baker knows anything at all about Mexico he ought to know that the Huertistas and the Carranzistas and the Villistas and Zapatistas and the other "istas" are all Mexicans fighting among themselves. And what are they fighting for? Each group is fighting only to get control of the offices and revenues of the country. To compare this anarchistic scramble for power and money with the aims of the Revolution, in order to put a better face on the Mexican muddle, is carrying Wilsonism a step too far.

Secretary Baker launched an public statement concerning the statement: "The War Department has firmed from other sources, that policy toward Mexico, in co-op in Mexico, have arranged a spoon upon some part of the American community on the border, between, for the purpose of turning policy which the Administration the border.

That is exactly the impression and then the trouble began. Notington demanded to know the man concerning whom the War Depa Then Secretary Baker began to cr as he did in the Jersey City speci tary Lansing came to his rescue. Secretary Baker had no in Secretary Baker launched another boomerang when he issued a public statement concerning the Mexican "plot." Here is the statement: "The War Department has received definite information, confirmed from other sources, that enemies of the Administration's policy toward Mexico, in co-operation with Villa or other bandits in Mexico, have arranged a spectacular attack, to be made either upon some part of the American forces or upon some American community on the border, between now and the date of the election, for the purpose of turning the tide of sentiment against the policy which the Administration has adopted for the protection of the border. "It is significant in this connection that both the State and War Departments were advised that the bandit's forces operating at the present time in Mexico are being paid in silver coin. "Full particulars have been transmitted to General Funston and General Pershing. All American forces are, therefore, forewarned and in readiness for such an attack." Now, a "straightjacket" inmate of an insane asylum could see that Secretary Baker meant to convey the impression that certain American citizens, most likely those who are managing Mr. Hughes-campaign, were plotting and financing an attack upon American troops or some American community by Villa bandits in order to influence the election against President Wilson. That is exactly the impression the Secretary's words conveyed, and then the trouble began. Newspaper correspondents in Washington demanded to know the names of these treasonable Americans concerning whom the War Department had "definite information." Then Secretary Baker began to crawl. He could not deny his words as he did in the Jersey City speech, he simply had to crawl. Secretary Lansing came to his rescue with the excuse that— Secretary Baker had no intention to intimate that American not sought to disfranchise her colored citizens by law. Now when such a step is less necessary than ever, it is taken. When the white voters of Florida are passing this amendment, as they evidently will, we want to ask them if they still wonder why Negroes leave the State when they are able to do so? At the same time we will ask colored men in the North if they think any Negro has a right to cast his vote in a way that will strengthen this sort of thing in the South? We are glad to see that the Times Union, the most powerful paper in Florida, is opposing the amendment. Make it your business to vote the STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN Ticket on Tuesday, November 7.

A FLIMSY CHARGE. The Department of Justice is now trying to prove that the Negroes that have come North, to fill the place formerly occupied by foreign labor are part of a great political scheme of fraud. It is charged that these men have been brought North by the Republicans in order to swell the vote for Hughes in certain States. Nobody knows better than the Washington administration that there is no truth in this charge. In fact, the movement of Negroes from the South to all places in the North was started under the supervision of the Department of Labor. "He and Mr. Baker believed that in addition to warning the military commanders, it was wise to give the information received publicity, because it might have the effect of causing the plot to be abandoned." Before the Wilson Administration, could the American people have conceived of such silly rot coming from cabinet officers? Suppose the War Department did have definite information about such a plot, what would be the duty of the Secretary? To publish such a statement as the one published by Secretary Baker? If the plotters were on American soil, it would be his plain and simple duty to instantly cause their arrest; if they were in Mexico, it would be his duty, with the forces at his command, to take military steps to prevent the plot from being carried out. What does Secretary Baker do? He publishes a piece in the papers hoping that it "might have the effect of causing the plot to be abandoned." The truth of the matter is: The Administration, on account of Villa's recent and successful activities, is fearful that the Mexican lid, which it has been holding down for the past few months, will fly off before election. So, in case it happens, this statement of Secretary Baker will come in handy to hoodwink the American people by laying the blame on President Wilson's political enemies. But in this plan one important point has been overlooked, and it is this: If this attack, concerning which the War Department has "definite information," is made, the American people will want to know why the War Department did not take the necessary steps to forestall or prevent it.

The following is clipped from a despatch reporting the doings of the American-Mexican Joint Commission now enjoying itself at Atlantic City: Sanitary conditions in Mexico were taken up with a view toward a co-operative campaign by the United States and Mexico to clean up Mexican towns. Yellow fever, enteric fever, typhus and smallpox are reported prevalent in numerous places, from which travelers enter the United States. Not one word has yet been raised in the commission about the American citizens and soldiers killed by Mexicans, both in Mexico and on United States soil, but a discussion is held about improving the sanitary condition of Mexican towns. For more than two months this futile and impotent commission has been wasting time. But the idea in President Wilson's mind when he suggested the commission was to have it waste time; especially until after election day.

To the Editor of The Age: We hope the man who occupies the presidential chair will be aroused miraculously with the good will to suggest some plan as the Chief Executive of the country to remedy the lynching spirit that has proved to be so shameful and degrading to southern civilization. Kentucky's late history ranks her in with Georgia—the "shame" of the nation. We see prisoners taken from jails in various parts of the South and the officers of the law making no effort to protect them. No wonder Negroes leave the South when the opportunity permits. Who can blame a cow for breaking out of a pasture where there is scarcely any grass and makes her way to a green field where there is sustenance" Georgia Texas and Florida run races on this lynching proposition. We hope that a double portion of this "Too proud to tight" spirit falls on the Union enough to make it "Too proud to lynch." The Migration of the Negro.

"One element in the race problem, between whatever races it arises, is the cowardice of the superior. There is nothing more essentially cowardly than severity and hardness where it cannot be returned. The man who is bold and insulting where he has nothing to fear, and speaks softly where there is danger, gives but a poor account of his courage. The man who thinks that a human nobility endangers his superiority and lower his self-respect betrays the fact that he is not sure of his superiority and cannot trust his self-respect to stand alone. A man which can be injured by faithness, and by an unbounded kindness, shows that he is already defective. What would happen to the race problem in India, in California, in our Southern borders, in our necessary distinctions and distributions wereugged on all antipathy, and if so-called Christian blood were to gain a transfusion of the blood of Christ?"

(By LUCIEN H. WHITE.) Sunday night, November 5, Harry T. Burleigh will appear at the Harris Theatre, West 42nd street, but not as a singer. It will be the second in a series of Elite Musicales promoted by Max Sanders, who is presenting Mr. Burleigh in his first concert appearance to play the piano accompaniments for a group of his own songs, which are to be sung by Charles Harrison the young American tenor. It is a unique arrangement which brings Mr. Burleigh before a critical New York audience of music lovers, as his work these latter days is of a character and type distinctive from anything he has ever done, and possessing an individualism which marks it as different from that done by any of his contemporaries. He will have notable company on Sunday evening, as Mme. Franken, a Hungarian pianist, will play, and the Chamber Symphony Orchestra, composed of the string and woodwind sections of the Russian Symphony Orchestra, composed of about forty men under the direction of the orchestra's conductor, Modest Altschuler, will include a new work by Charles Wakefield Cadnan, "To a Vanishing Race." Mme. E. Azalia Hackley's work for the music development of the race has been helped greatly by the song-recital demonstration programs which she has rendered during several years in all parts of the country. Her latest appearance in this form of entertainment was at the Musical Fund Hall, Philadelphia, on Thursday evening, October 19. At this time she rendered the following program: Demonstration—"Racial Characteristics" Somebody Pose and Tone. Orchestra Songs by Colored Composers a. "Since you went away" ... J. R. Johnson b. "Sweet Thoughts" ... Clarence C. White c. "Wid de Moon" ... W. Marion Cook Demonstration—"Human electricity and its control. Orchestra. Song—"Caro Nome"—Rigotto... Verdi Demonstration—"A Sample Lesson for poor people." Mme. Hackley writes me that her plans call for the presentation of this program only once more, and that with that performance its mission will be over. Certain it is that much good has been accomplished by this practical demonstration of what is to be done in music and how to do it. Following this recital-demonstration at Philadelphia, Mme. Hackley went over to Chester, Pa., and directed the first folk-song festival ever given in Pennsylvania. About one hundred colored singers made up the chorus, and the Ruth L. Bennett Improvement Club promoted the affair. The proceeds were for the furthering of uplift work among the colored people of Chester. The festival was held in the New Armory Building, Eighth and Market streets, and an audience of goodly proportions, composed of both white and colored, was present. The program was as follows: FOLK SONGS- a. Let us cheer the weary traveler, James Hite b. Sinner you'd better pray, Hirsch, Kelson c. Way to Jesus, M. Rosee Stewart PIANO—"In the Hottons Suite" R N Dette a. Night. Santee Mander, Watson Jackson, Alex Coleman, Joseph Hunt FOLK SONGS— a. Couldn't hear nobody pray. Edith Brown b. Roll, Jordan, roll... Allen Green SONG—Deep River, *Hormonized by* FEMALE CHORUS—"Since you went away" J. R. Johnson SOLO—Exhortation W. Marion Cork PART CHORUS—Listen to the Lamb N. N. Nett FOLK SONGS— a. I know the Lord laid his hands on me. Mrs. Mary E. Willham b. Swing Low Jessie Quinn QUARTET—Carola J. Huckley Misses Quann and Kilkenn Measurs, Pate and Parker Daniel Walley EVERYBODY SING—Swance River—America Director, Mrs E. Araba Hackley At the piano, Mary Grassy. It was intimated some time ago that there was a probability of Mine. Hackley bringing her folk-song festival to New York. She writes me now defi- nently that this city will be invaded during the coming month of January. Just to what extent her plans are matured I cannot say as yet, but it is practically certain that she will receive the cooperation and support of all the various musical organizations of the city. It would be a splendid and well-deserved tribute to a remarkable woman if the various choral societies, schools, church choirs and individual singers of Greater New York should join in creating a mammoth chorus of at least a thousand voices. This can easily be done, and --- the New York folk-song festival made an epoch-creating event. Lorenzo F. Dyer, organist and director of the choir of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, 159 West, 53d street, the Rev. Wm. P. Hayes, pastor, will present that choir in a recital on Thursday evening. November 9, it introducing to New York at the same time Mme. Marie Burrie Houston, a soprano soloist from the West. The choir will sing an unfinished opera, "Loreley," by Felix Mendelssohn and Mme. Houston will take the solo part. She is a newcomer to this city, having come here only three weeks ago, I am informed. The choir will be assisted by an orchestra, and Mr. Dyer is working hard to give his hearers a musical offering worthy of their patronage.

M. Cohan's sparking work, "45 Minutes From Broadway." The scenes are laid at New Rochelle, hence the title, but the characters mostly are types to be seen only in the Big City. Many new faces are seen in the cast, and some of the newcomers are doing mighty good work. This is especially true of Susie Sutgep, who not only acts well, but sits charmingly and dances with grace. Abbie Mitchell as Mary Jane Jenkins, the housemaid, is clever and capable and her one song, "Mary is a Grand Old Name" is sung as only Miss Mitchell can sing. Babe Townsend as Kid Burns, the tough kid from New York, is a splendid foil for both Mary Jane and Walker Thompson as Tom Bennett, the sudden millionaire. Thompson is not as finished in his work as he ought to be, descending on several occasions to very "small-time" comedy, ostensibly to create a laugh. His work in this particular was rather crude, in several instances, and could be improved by a change in methods. Stage Director Winn has provided a small but good-looking chorus, the members of which are past masters in the terpsichorean diversions provided, but their voices could be improved upon. However, the deficiency in this respect is more than supplied when the voices of Miss Mitchell, Miss Bowman, Miss Sutton and Miss Gorgas are added. This was especially noticeable in the second act, when J. Francis Mores, as *Dan Cronin*, sang "Whistle as You Walk Out," and the entire company assisted in the chorus, bringing in several snatches from grand opera. Miss Bowman's voice was heard to good advantage in "Dreaming," but the song was hardly suited to the character which she is interpreting. Miss Sutton's song, "The Old Maid's Lament," with her manner of putting it over, made a hit with the large audience. Miss Gorgas sang, assisted by a chorus, but her work was not very effective. Tom Brown had to give several verses of his number, "Things Ain't the Same as They Used to Be," before the people were satisfied to let the play go on. Manager Eugene Elmore has decided to continue "45 Minutes From Broadway" at the Lafayette through the week of November 6, with some changes in the song numbers. The patronage this week indicates that the offering will be one of the most successful of the season, and is proof of the fact not only that colored performers need not depend on ragtime singing and buck dancing to attract audiences, but also that colored audiences will appreciate high-class musical comedies as much as high-class dramatic offerings. Marie Lucas and her girls are playing as though inspired this week, and it is to be observed that the work of the orchestra calls for as much comment and is shown as much appreciation as the work on the stage. The girls in the orchestra are wearing housemaid costumes this week, probably a delicate compliment to Miss Abbie Mitchell, the housemaid in the play 1. H WHITE Vaudeville and Onc-Act Comedy at The New Lincoln At the New Lincoln Theatre last week the stock company which had been engaged to present late Broadway successes was cut down to a five-person company to present thirty minutes' skits, so that the resumption of big time vaudeville acts and first run photoplay might continue to fill the program. Occupying the top-line position on the bill last week was Miss Lottle Grady. Miss Grady sang three brand new songs, and for each song a new gown adorned her slender and graceful figure. Miss Grady also rendered realistic imitations of the late George Walker, Alda Overton and Bert Williams. --- Harvey (Kid) Hoy, matchmaker of the Zenobia A. C. Toledo, Ohio, has authorized me to publish this item for the benefit of the colored fighters all over the country. The Zenobia A. C. wishing to stage first-class bouts, and knowing that there are many claimants to the bantamweight championship, featherweight, welterweight and middleweight, and wishing to settle this dispute, will offer five championship belts for the respective classes and any colored fighter in the country can compete for them. But the winner of any of these belts must be open to meet any one at his weight when he has won a belt. Now, Matchmaker Hoy is well versed in pugilistic business, and doing much in his town toward putting the Zenobia A. C. in good standing with Toledians and the boxing commissioners by living up to his promises and giving the fight fans good cards at all his shows. The club he represents being small he finds it impossible to offer large purses to the fighters that come out there, but he will give any of them a reasonable guarantee. He has already signed up the sensational welterweight of this town. K. O. Lou Williams, to meet Joe Stegall the latter part of the month. Those wanting to compete at this club, address A. Water, 247 West 46th street, N. Y. City, care N. Y. Age. Manager and Captain Earl of the Royal Giants, left these shores with his strong team of baseball warriors, their destination being Cuba. They will be away for six weeks and during that time will play the best teams that the island can afford. If they play the brand of baseball they have been playing all the summer it will be hard for any team to defeat them in a series of games. The following colored stars left with Capt. Earl: Stringbean Williams, Harvey, Handy, Santon, Miller, Gatewood, Hewitt, Webster, Redding, Hocher. Olympic Field, 136 Street and 5th Avenue—The Lincoln Giants annexed another double-header to their credit when they defeated the Highbridge Athletics and the Minor Leaguers. Wiley, former catcher of the Giants, but now a regular pitcher, won his second game when he defeated the Leaguers. Joe Williams pitched in midsummer form in the second game and had little trouble in disposing of the Athletics. The scores: Score by innings .. R.I.E. Highbridge Athletics 000 000 010 -1 6 4 Lincoln Giants ... .002 010 * -3 8 2 Batteries—Warnke and Bird; Wil- and Pierce. Score by innings .. R.I.E.

The company has been producing at the Baltimore house the same dramatic successes presented at the Lafayette Theatre, New York, and the Howard Theatre, Washington, with the Lafayette stock companies. Baltimore people have not given sufficient support to this form of amusement and the promoters changed their policy on Monday, October 30, when Frank Montgomery was presented in a musical comedy, "From Speedville to Broadway," with a company of thirty old favorites in the supporting cast. --- String Beans and Benbow, with their company, are in the second week of an engagement at the Booker Washington Theatre, St. Louis.

Morehouse 32, Morris Brown 0. Atlanta, Ga.—Though Morris Brown was outclassed she made a respectable showing against the Tikers. This is the second game for Morehouse this season, and shows advance over the previews the Hall Warren, Harris and Coles did credit.

Tuskegee Wins First Game Tuskegee, Ala.—Tuskegee played its first game of the season here on October 21, defeating Morris Brown University, of Atlanta, by the score of 18 to 0. Tuskegee score was registered in the last quarter of the game. More than three-fourths of the contest was marred by Tuskegee's deflection in carrying the ball. Tuskegee's goal was never in danger. Two forward passes and one brilliant sprint brought the Atlanta team three first downs. The touchdowns and a goal were made within seven minutes of play. Football at Lincoln University. Lincoln University, Pa. -- The Varsity eleven of Lincoln University brought home the tourels in its initial contest of the season when it defeated the big Lampton football team by a score of twelve so nothing. Both teams battled up and down the field three quarters of the struggle with no result. The last quarter began and two minutes after the ball was in play Archer carried the ball from the twenty-yield line through right tackle for a touchdown. With only four minutes to play, the Lampton quarterback threw a forward pass which was intercepted by Halley on the forty-yard line, who ran the ball back through a broken field within three yards of the goal. Then Douglass and Howell drove a hole through left tackle and Smith plowed his way across the line. "Bouat" Clinton sustained an injury during the summer while driving a muatang, receiving a badly gashed leg. He is now in good shape. Sporting Notes PUGILISM Wanderbilt · A. C., Brooklyn.—Last Friday night Eddie Dodder, the recognized colored lightweight champion of the world, met Walter Mohr, the foremost white lightweight of Brooklyn, in the star bout of the evening and defeated him very easily. At no time during the ten rounds did Mohr show at any advantage over his clever colored opponent, who continually met his rushes with lightning jabs, and whenever Mohr got in close, he found Dorssey's uppercut waiting for him. Dorssey, the Philadelphia crack lightweight, is making great strides toward the lightweight championship and every fight shows him getting better and much cleverer. Jesse McMahon picked a sure winner when he took over the managership of this great little lighter and he keeps him very busy. Dorssey's next bout will be with Young. Lustig at Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue. --- Harlem Sporting Club, 135th Street and Madison Avenue—Last Friday night John Lester Johnson, the premier colored lightweight fighter of New York, a boy who has been fighting with much success lately, added another victim to his record when he knocked out Jim Savage, of Orange, N. J., in two rounds. This bout was to be the star bout of ten rounds, but the white man, who outweighed Johnson by ten pounds, could not stand the aggressiveness of the colord fighter and succumbed when Johnson caught him with a stiff left to the jaw in the second round. Weight—Johnson 180; Savage 190. --- Fairmount A. C.; The Bronx—Last Saturday night in the star bout of the evening Bill Watkins, who has been out of the game for six months, made his appearance in his first mixed bout, when he met and defaced Sailor Grande. Watkins, who is very clever and a very stiff-puncher, had little trouble securing the decision on account of his aggressiveness. Several times he had his opponent in distress with his hard rights to the jaw and left to the body and when the tenth round terminated the Sailor was a much battered man. Watkins left the ring without a mark. Weights—Grande 193; Watkins 187. Vanderbilt A. C.—Last Monday evening in the star bout of the evening Willie Langford, who is fighting in great form lately met Johnny Kid Alberts and it was nip and tuck between these two middleweights all during the first seven rounds. But, in the last three rounds Langford cut loose and had Alberts in a bad way when the gong sounded to end the fight in the tenth round. Langford caught Alberts some nice blows which looked as if they should have knocked any one out, but they lacked the steam behind them. Weights—Langford 155; Alberts 154. BASEBALL BASKETBALL INCORPORATORS 30, when the world champion "Incorporates" meet the St. Douglass Big Five of Orange, N. J.
