IS CLEAN, OVER IT BROUGHT A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. VOL. XXX No. 9 HARLEM AGENTS RAISING RENTS Make Arbitrary Increase When Tenants Are Furnished Heat. TENANTS PROTEST STRONGLY Majority of Them Sign Petition Appealing to Owner, But Owner Says Property Is Leased to Agents. Because She Started Petition of Protest Lesson Attempt to Force Her Option a Writ of Dispensation-The Age Sources Services of Counselor Wilford M. Suddin, Who Appeared for Her. Because the tenants made strenuous objection to being kept without heat in the apartment houses at 22-24 and 26-28 West 13th street, and because they voiced their objection in a petition to the owner of the property which criticised the agent handling the property, they are now not only confronted with an arbitrary raise in the rent, but are also threatened with being dispossessed because of signing the petition. Grohman Bros., a firm of plumbers located at 67 West 138th street, are in charge of the properties, and it is alleged by the tennants that no heat was furnished them until November 6, when a complaint was filed with the National Urban League and a petition prepared to be submitted to the owner, Cansel Cohen, West 138th street, Mira C. Kronen a tenant, at 26-28 West 138th street, was the moving factor in the matter of forwarding this petition to the owner, but it was not necessary because the agents had turned on the heat before the signatures could be gotten. Owner Does Nothing. But immediately following the turning on of the heat, tenants were notified that there would be an increase in all the rents. On November 13, tenants coming to their apartments in the evening, found a pennilled notice from Grohman Bros., which notice had been dated back to November 10, ostensibly to give the required five days' notice, informing them that beginning November 15, rents would be increased, in some cases, by $1, in others by $2 and $3. Mrs. DeSilva, whose rent was raised from $20 to $22 for four rooms, rear apartment, immediately got busy again, and through J. T. Clark of the Housing Bureau of the National Urban League, secured the following petition, which was signed by a large majority of the tenants in the two houses on 137th street. The petition read as follows: "We, the undersigned tenants residing in the apartment houses, 22-24 and 2-28 West 137th street, do hereby protest against the proposed increase of rents alleged to be necessary because of the increased expense in managing the houses. We claim that a decrease is more in order than increase for the following reasons: "That coal has been reduced to its normal price, and it is not probable that coal will be any higher this year than it was last. "That the assessed valuation of nearly all the properties in this colored section has almost yearly been reduced, hence the taxes are loss. "That the expense of upkeep and management of these houses have been very low. "That for several years returns from a fully occupied house has brought the investment nearer to the period of amortization. "We feel therefore that an increase in our rent would be to take advantage of the fact that colored people have but few places to which they can move, even if they refuse to pay this increase." (Signed) A. DeSilva, Mrs. L. J. Leeg, Josephine Rato, Mrs. Chadwick, Henry Hooper, Mrs. C. L. Moore, Henry McLay, Edward Harls, L. Hamill, B. Payne, Alice Francis, R. L. Banks, A. Calland, G. Crawley, H. Kelly, S. C. Wyatt, Mrs. Lawmars, V. Parker, Chas, Roberts, Mrs. E. Byrd, Charles Phillips, E. Dodd-tenants at 26-28 West 137th St. Mrs. Eva Oliver, Mrs. Robert Sullivan, Mrs. C. Mertin, Samuel Patine, C. May Williams, Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Rosa Isherby, Edith Gill, Alice Morris, John B. Roy, Basing Bay, Mrs. Myles, Mrs. Weeks, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Berkelenan at 22-24 West 137th St. A few of the other tenants, there b ing thirty to each house, refused to sign the petition, preferring not to antagonize the agents, but most of those not signing could not be reached in time, and have since declared that they would have signed and are in sympathy with the protest. This petition was forwarded by the National Urban League to Mr. Cohen, the owner, with a letter which explained that the tenants purposed to "resist this unwarranted increase in rents", and would like a better excuse than the one already given, feeling that they were unfairly treated. Mr. Cohen replied to the League as follows: Gentlemen: I am herewith returning your letter, etc., as I cannot do anything for you, as these premises are leased to Messr. Grohman Bros. Yours very truly. CASSEL COHEN. In reply to this letter from Mr. Cohen Mr. Clark of the League, replied to him in part as follows, on November 17: "I wish to personally call your attention to the general complaint in this community against the method the Grohman Bros. employ in handling various properties. The colored tenants in 137th street, 143rd street, and other streets where they manage properties, have the same general criticism of his lack of interest in the property other than squeezing the last dollar that he possibly can out of them. This is a complaint that has been brought to me on numerous occasions and there will be some agitation that will be taken up if these criticisms are proven to be correct. . . . Since the property is yours, I think it would pay you to give some close attention to this matter and find out yourself whether these complaints are justified." Serve Writ on Mrs. DeSilva. Almost coincidentally with this, on November 17 to be exact, Grohman Bros, through Harry Grohman, served a writ of dispossession upon Mrs C. DeSilva, citing non-payment of rent as a cause, and summoning her to appear at the Municipal Court of the 7th district at 70 Manhattan street, on Monday morning, the fact 20. This was in face of the Mrs. DeSilva had paid her rent in-full up to the current month, and held receipt showing such payments, and in keeping with the which it is alleged was made by the agents to the effect that every tenant, who signed the petition would be dispossessed. It is charged also that the agents have deceived the intention of putting all the pressure possible on their tenants, as the Negroes must be kept in their places. As Mrs. DeSilva was the moving spirit in the protest, it was evidently the intention to make an example of her. Counselor Smith Secured. As soon as this development was made known to THE Age, steps were taken to render Mrs. DeSilva all the assistance possible. Counselor Wilford H. Smith was communicated with and the circumstances explained to him. He immediately consented to appear in court to represent Mrs. DeSilva's interest. -When Grohman-Bros. learned on Saturday evening that they would be fought in court, it is reported that they went to the tenants and informed them that the matter would be dropped, they would not be disturbed, the writ of dispossession might be destroyed and that it would not be necessary to appear in court. Mrs. DeSilva would not be missed, however, and so appeared in court the hour named, accompanied by Counselor Smith. When they reached there they found Grohman and his lawyer awaiting the opening of court, making it appear that it had been intended to fool Mrs. DeSilva into contempt of court. When the case was called, Counselor Smith secured a week's postponement. When this was granted, Grohman approached Mrs. DeSilva with a proposition to settle the matter. He agreed to allow her to remain in the apartment at the original rent of $20, but asked that she pay $1 on the cost of the dispossess warrant. Mrs. DeSilva refused to accept 'any concession which was not granted to all the tenants, nor would she agree to pay any part of the court costs.' Tenants of the two houses are practically a unit in the determination to fight the arbitrary and uncalled for raise in the rents, and they are also determined to force the lessees to make repairs that are absolutely necessary to comfort. Charge Agents With Neglect. It is charged against the Grohman Bros. that they are neglectful of the comfort and convenience of their tenants to an almost shameful degree. Necessary repairs are not made and proper janitor service is not furnished. It is alleged by tenants in these houses that garbage and offal are allowed to remain unremoved for lack of dumb waiter service, until the health of tenants is endangered. A tenant in the house, 22-24, who withheld the rent in an effort to secure needed repairs was served with a writ of dispossession only last week. The same general character of complaints are made against Grohman Bros. by tenants on West 136th street and in the block on West 143rd street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues. People who claim to be acquainted with the history of the 137th street houses say that when built they were occupied by white tenants, who paid $18 and $20 a month rent. Up to two years ago, Mr. Cohen, the owner, attended to the renting and the tenants declare that they had no cause for complaint. In the past two years, however, under the lesseeshin of Grohman Bros., it is alleged that there has been not only a neglect of the buildings but (Continued on page two) YOUNG COLORED GIRLS FIND NEW EMPLOYMENT USED AS MACHINE OPERATORS Work is Mechanical, but Requires Quick Eye and Strict Attention—Girls Learn Quickly and Several have Earned Promotion after only 3 weeks Employment—26 Machines Put In. Twenty young colored girls, ranging in age from fifteen to eighteen years, are proving to the management of the Tremont Silk Mills of The Bronx that they are capable of developing skill and speed in the performance of tasks with which, three weeks ago, they were entirely unfamiliar. This demonstration is taking place every day at 51 West 140th street, where the silk company has opened a branch workshop. Sixteen blockers, four spoolers and six reelers have been and are being installed, and the girls who had never before seen that sort of machinery, have had three weeks in which to demonstrate their capacity for mastering the work. While the tasks are largely mechanical, a quick eye, deft fingers and concentrated attention to the work are necessities, and these qualities the colored girls have shown they possess. When an Ace representative stopped in at the branch factory, he was met by the vice-president of the silk company, C. A. Jacobs, who is in charge of the downtown office at 428 Fourth avenue. Mr. Jacobs was on a tour of investigation, and expressed himself as being highly gratified with the result of the company's experiment in employing colored girls. Starting three weeks ago with four girls, the force has been added to rapidly, and others are being employed as fast as available ones offer. Girls Win Increased Wages. With the completion of the installation of the machinery, twenty-six girls will be used as operators. In addition, a number of others will be used as packers, labelers and wrappers. The capacity of the quarters occupied will alone limit the number to be employed. The necessity for expert supervision has caused the company to detail Miss Susie Jenson as forelady. She has been with the mill for about twelve years, and is in charge of several divisions of the work at the main plant in The Bronx. Miss Jenson declared that the girls had more than made good. Of eighteen girls only three were in the slightest degree slack in their application to the work, and she hoped they would improve. As an example of the development of the girls, the forelady declared that at least four of them would be given an increase in wages this week. She declared also that while the opening of this branch plant, with colored girls as workers, was an experiment, the company would certainly give the girls every opportunity to advance in knowledge of the business. Both Miss Jenson and Mr. Jacobs believe that as soon as possible the company will put colored girls in charge of this branch. It was positively stated by Mr. Jacobs that the company would not, under any circumstances, draw the color line with its employees. Interesting Work. The work entrusted to the girls is of an interesting nature. The silk ribbons, in various colors and widths, are brought to the branch in large hanks, just as it comes from the dyeing vats. The girls operating the reelers take hold of it first, and the large wooden reels, which resemble the old Dutch windmill wheels, are soon covered with the bright colored fabrics, which is wound smoothly and in order to the full capacity of the reel. The reels, with their burdens, then are taken by the blockers and spoolers. Sixteen machines are used by the blockers, and these attend to the winding of the ribbons on small spools which hold five and ten yards. These machines are operated by electrical power. The spoolers operate the machines which wind fifty and one hundred yards to the spool. These machines are operated by hand, experiments having proven that a larger output is secured than from machines operated by power. The filled spools are then taken by other girls who clip off uneven ends, pin label and pack the finished product in boxes ready for shipment. With only a part of the machinery in operation more than sixty thousand yards of ribbon were prepared for shipment in one day. With all the machinery running, it is estimated that the girls will be able to turn out from 150,000 to 200,000 yards of ribbon daily. The branch factory is being managed by Julius Jasner, an official of the Tremont Silk Mills Co., and he believes that the experiment will be so successful that in the near future larger quarters will be necessary. The majority of the girls employed were secured through the National League on Urban Conditions, and young girls desirous of obtaining employment at the branch factory are trained to apply to John T. Clark at the league office, 2301 Seventh Avenue. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1916. BINGHAMTON SCHOOL TO CHANGE LOCATION (Special to THE NEW YORK AUOR.) BINGhampton, N. Y.-Fred C. Hazel, of the Binghamton Industrial Institute, announces that active operations have been temporarily suspended pending a change of properties. The present place will be sold in the next few days and application along the Susquehanna River purchased. The work will take the form of an orphanage for colored children in this part of the state. AGED LABORE LEAVES (Special to THE NEW YORK AU.] Louisville, KY.—Susan Carter, a colored man who died in the Red Cross Hospital for Negroes, was not able to sign his name and for years has been doing odd jobs. Many sort of employment he could find. But the probating of his will revealed the fact that he had left an estate of about $10,000, consisting of reality located in various sections of Louisville. The aged Negro left all of his property to Miss Frances Virginia Owens, a teacher in the Eastern Colored School, with whose family he had been friendly for more than fifty years. Miss Owens was nursing sister at the hospital when he died. He began buying property a half century ago. His plan was to mortgage a piece of property to buy another piece, then work and pay it the mortgage. This he repeated time after time. He spent hardly anything, usually having quarters wherever he was employed. OLD FARMER MAD $2,000 IN ORDINARY CIGAR BOX (Special to THE NEW YORK ARN) CLARKSALE, Miss. Deputy Sheriff Talbert was given considerable of a surprise a few days ago. An old colored farmer, accompanied by his aged wife, came into the sheriff's office and inquired as to the amount of taxes due on their small holding of farm property. The amount was in the neighborhood of $50. The old gentleman pulled out a check which had been paid to him by a well-known white planter of the Delta section, which called for $999. The sheriff's office force was stumped, not having enough money to cash the check, so the deputy told the old man he would have to go to the bank for it, offering him a note of introduction. "Never mind," said the old man. "I'll just pay you while I'm here, as I am in a hurry to get home. Come here, old lady, and give me that box." His wife pulled out an ordinary cigar box from under her old hawk and handed it to her husband. He opened it the next day and bulge. It was literally packed with bills, from among which he pulled a $50 note and paid his taxes. "How much money have you in that box?" asked Deputy, Sheriff Talbert. "Oh, there is only $2,000 here. I'm going to stop by the bank when I leave here," at the same time refusing the deputy's request that he be allowed to count it for him. INSURANCE AGENTS (Special to THE NEW YORK ARB.) COLUMBIA, S. C.-One of the most interesting occurrences during the recent Negro State Fair in this city was the conference of the general officers and state agents of the North Carolina-Mutual and Provident Association, which has its headquarters at Durham, N. C. The conference was held in the company's building on Washington street. From Durham there came John Merrick, president; Dr. A. M. Moore, secretary and treasurer; C. C. Spaulding, vice-president and general manager, and J. M. Avery, assistant general manager. H. J. McMasters, insurance commissioner, served as guest of the conference, and received a welcome. He delivered a strong address, in which he spoke of the able manner in which the affairs of the North Carolina company were conducted. He commented on the fact that the company had been managed on sound business lines even before the state assumed supervision. His address was responded to by C. C. Spaulding. Other addresses were delivered by John Merrick, Dr. A. M. Moore, J. M. Avery. Following the morning session, a barbecue dinner was served the visitors by J. J. Atwell, manager of the Columbia office, and his corps of agents. A private session was held in the afternoon and at night a rousing public meeting was held at Sidney Park C. M. E. Church, the Rev. N. F. Haygood, pastor. The principal address was delivered by General Manager Spaulding and was thoroughly prepared and fully delivered. During the past year the North Carolina Mutual has shown an increase of 15 per cent in the volume of business as against the previous year. This conference is expected to pave the way to an even greater increase for the next year. The Negro State Fair just closed was the most successful in the history of the fair association. It was held on the grounds of the white fair association, which are leased each year under advantageous terms. Exhibits from all parts of the state showed progress made by the race in education, domestic science, fancy needle work, agriculture, and in all lines of mechanical art. The colleges and schools of the state had elaborate exhibits, the first prize being awarded to Voorhees Industrial School of Denmark, J. O. Thomas, principal; second to the State College at Orangeburg; third to Benedict College. At the annual meeting of the stockholders, the following officers were reelected: Dr. I. H. Goodwin, Columbia, president; R. W. Westberry Sumter, secretary; Prof. B. F. Hubert, Orangeburg, superintendent; Thomas A. Williams, Newbury, treasurer. HOLYOKE MACHINERY PLANT HIRES NEGROES Thirty-five Employed at Present and Company Will Employ Others. BRINGING FAMILIES NORTH The Men Have Made Good and the Company Is Extending Every Possible Aid in Getting Them Settled in Massachusetts Town—Several Families Arrived Already, and Others Are On The Way (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) HOLYoke, Mass.-Two and a half months' experience has proven that Negro mechanics can make good in the North. The opportunity for this demonstration was first told of in THE AGE of August 31, when it was stated that one of the largest machinery plants in this city would give employment to a number of colored artisans, at wages ranging from $2 to $4 per day, with chance for promotion to $6 or more per day. Information concerning this opening was laid before the National Urban League in New York and the officials of Tuskegee Institute. As a result, there are now employed about 35 Negro mechanics, including machinists, foundrymen, pattern makers and laborers, in the shops of this company, and every man of the lot has more than made good. Officials of the company say that all of the men are steady and reliable, and the only criticism to be heard is concerning one man who is given to spending more time than he ought under the bright lights of Springfield. It is interesting to note that the men have been assimilated into the tilt life without friction and with an entire absence of anything that bears the blamance of color prejudice. This is accounted for by the attitude of the officers of the company, the broad and liberal spirit of the townpeople and because the men coming here to work are, with hardly an exception, picked men whose character and standing at their old homes were above reproach. Secure Desirable Quarters. Another miswriting fact to be noted is that there has been no effort to have the colored workmen live in colonies. Most of the single men and men whose families are not here are living in the various hotels of the city; that is, the hotels of the cheap, but desirable, class which cater to the men only. Those of the men who have already brought their families here, some seven or eight, are living in apartments in various parts of the city, within convenient distances of their work. In only one house can there be found two colored families. The apartments, of four and five rooms, are secured at a reasonable rent, and are equipped with all modern improvements, including steam heat. There is now enroute to this city a party of seven from Troy, Ala., made up of the wives and children of three families, who are coming to join their husbands and fathers. These would have already reached Holyoke, but the women were timorous about coming north by water. Transportation was provided through the office of the National Urban League, which called for the trip from Savannah to New York by the Ocean Steamship Line. But a telegram from the wife of one of the men to the office of the company here begged that they be furnished transportation by rail instead. The League was communicated with, and the change made, but of course, it caused a delay. The families will, however, reach here during the current week. Company's Liberal Policy. In this particular, the company pursues a most liberal policy. Not only was transportation furnished for the men originally to come to Holyoke, but now that they have made good, the company is advancing the necessary funds for the transportation of their families. This money the men are allowed to repay in small sums each week. In fact, until an employee is earning at least $14 weekly, the company deducts nothing. For the regular employees of the company the minimum wage is $13.50 per week, unskilled labor, with the possibility of advancing to $18. But there is ample opportunity for overtime work, paid for at an increased rate, and one of the men, by taking advantage of the overtime opportunity, has been making as much as $40 per week. It is hardly advisable, as a regular thing, for a man to attempt this, because of a probable physical collapse, but it is comparatively easy for a man to earn $25 to $30 per week and have lots of time for himself. Many of the men are taking advantage of the flight schools, taking courses which will broaden their knowledge of shop, practice, mechanics, etc. This, of course, is greatly to their advantage as it will lead to increased efficiency. There is a great dearth of women for domestic service in this section, and so there will be an opportunity also for those of the women who care to take advantage of it to secure positions. Women in domestic service can command in the wages, perhaps even more than in the wages, as they are at a most impossible for domestic service secure servants of any kind. As a rule, the southern raised women are good cooks and already housekeepers are asking for their help. PYTHIAN MOVEMENT FOR 2,000 MEMBERS In the face of the many counter attractions on the evening of November 16, the first advance movement of the K. of P. for the growth of 2,000 members by June 30 was held at Salem M. E. Church, under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of New York, arranged by R. E. Clarke, Grand Chancellor. BUSINESS LEAGUE INSTALLS ITS OFFICERS (Special to Tum New York Age.)

HUGHES TO PRACTICE LAW IN NEW YORK Charles Evans Hughes, the recent Re- publican nominee for the Presidency, has decided to practice law in New York, but further information as to his future business movements have not been made publicly known. It is said on good author- ity that Mr. Hughes will not enter politics again and will not be a candidate for any political office. It is expe- pected that he will resume the practice of law in New York about the first of the year. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes are now at Lakewood, N. J., where they are resting among the pines. HOWARD ORPHANAGE OPENS $100.000 CAMPAIGN An active and systematic campaign has been begun by the Howard Orphanage and Industrial School to raise $100,000 to help carry on the work of the investigation. The first gun of the campaign was fired last Thursday evening when a concert of merit was given at Kismet Temple, Brooklyn. L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the board of managers, Mrs. James H. Gordon, superintendent, and the members of the board of managers have arranged to carry on an effective campaign among both races in the interest of the institution. TUSKEGEE FOUNDER'S DAYS ON APRIL 5 AND 6 At the meeting of the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute, held November 14, New York City, it was decided to celebrate Founder's Day at Tuskegee Institute on April 5 and 6, it having been found that the birthday of the late Dr. Washington was April 5. At that time a group of northern philanthropists, including trustees of Tuskegee and others interested in the cause of the Negro people, will make the trip to the school. W. G. Willcox, president of the New York City Board of Education, was elected to succeed the late Seth Low as chairman of the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute, but the vacancy created by Mr. Low's death has not been filled. NEGRO HALL MAN DIES EDWARD POINDexter, 52 years old, who was hall man at 770 St. Nicholas avenue, occupying a room in the basement of the building, died from inhaling smoke and flames after notifying the forty-two families in the building of a fire raging in the basement, turning in an alarm and making a heroic effort to prevent further spread of the conflagration. The fire originated in a closet in Poindexter's apartment and gained considerable headway, but his prompt action in turning in an alarm and his extraordinary courage in looking out for the safety of the tenants prevented any serious damage. When the firemen arrived the colored hallman was lying unconscious in the vestibule. Dr. Finnegan of the St Lawrence Hospital was called and applied a pulmotor, but it was impossible to save him. The fire was confined to two rooms. BALTIMORE HELP BALTIMORE HELPS (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) BALTIMORE, Md.-Fine tributes were paid to the memory of Dr. Booker T. Washington at the Academy of Music Sunday afternoon, where over 2,000 people, white and colored, gathered at a mass meeting to raise money toward the $2,000,000 memorial fund that is being raised to perpetuate the memory of the deceased educator. The speakers included Bishop John Hurst, who presided; Emmett J. Scott, for eighteen years secretary to Dr. Washington; Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. William H. Welch of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research; Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the Colored High School, and the Rev. R. W. Hogue, leading spirit of the Open Forum, through which the use of the Academy of Music was granted. Mr. Scott sketched the activities of the deceased educator. The Rev. Mr. Hogue, a white man born in Alabama, declared that Dr. Washington had the real concept of democracy Dr. Welch enologized Dr. Washington for his interest in public health. Dr. Moton told of the work of the deceased educator, and urged the necessity of the memorial fund. He praised Emmett I. Scott and the entire faculty of Tuskegee Institute for the loyal and devoted service they had given him since he has been the head of Tuskegee. The Rev Dr. Ernest Lyon had charge of the collection, which amounted to $200. The Alphian Glee Club of Morgan College and Mrs. Constancia Reckling sang. IS RELIABLE WHEN YOU NEED IT IN "THE AGE" YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT. NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. TENDER DINNER TO DR. MOTON Colored Citizens of York Honor Head Tuskegee Institute Well Known Men Meet at the Libya on November 16th and Informally Discuss Matters Affecting Race. Principal of Tuskegee Institute Makes Favorable Impression—Says He does Not Seek Race Leadership. On Thursday evening, November 16, a complimentary dinner was tendered Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, at the Libya, 115 West 131st stret, which was attended by a representative garner ing of college citizens. Dr. Moton took advantage of the opportunity afforded him to clearly and freely give his views and stand on vital racial matters. The occasion marked his first public appearance in New York since becoming head of Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Moton, during his address, stated with much emphasis that in assuming the principalship of Tuskegee Institute he was not seeking the so-called leadership of the Negro race. On this particular subject, however, many openly expressed themselves somewhat differently from Dr. Moton, declaring that owing to the commanding position the guest of honor occupies in the South and the influence for good his institution wields in helping solve the race problem sooner or later he would become the acknowledged race leader. Fred R. Moore acted as toastmaster. Nearly one one responded to a short-toast wishing the distinguished guest success. One of the most interesting talks of the evening was made by Emmet J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, who told of a meeting of the board of trustees of the institute, held in New York a few days previous, when the trustees turned over to the new principal a Negro institution valued in the aggregate at $4,000,000. Mr. Scott stated that the former assistants of Booker T. Washington were loyally supporting his successor. Invocation was offered by the Rev. R. H. Bolden. The toast of welcome was given by Charles W. Anderson, who was at his best, and Dr. Moton was introduced by John E. Nail. . Given Big Ovation. Dr. Moton was given a big ovation when he arose to speak, and his straight forward, uncompromising talk won for him several rounds of hearty applause upon his conclusion. After thankking the assembled guests for the honor of the testimonial dinner, Dr. Moton discussed somewhat in detail matters which relate to the general welfare of the Negro people and Tuskegee Institute, particularly, cilling attention, as he did, to the fact that in succeeding to the principalship of Tuskegee Institute he does not in any way whatsoever wish to have anybody understand that he is seeking the so-called leadership of the Negro people. He stated that he had undertaken the responsibility of the Tuskegee Institute in the spirit of the great founder of the school, and that it was his intention to carry out his policies and to maintain the traditions of the institute; that he had no doubt whatsoever that he would make mistakes in attempting to shoulder the responsibilities of the school, nevertheless, felt that the work must go as best he could to carry it, with the support of the devoted workers at Tuskegee Institute, that he would expect the sympathy and good will of all fair minded men who believe that a great achievement like Tuskegee Institute deserves to live and to receive the warm-hearted support not only of the Negro people of the United States but of the white people as well. The menu prepared for the banquets by Keys and Buckner was one of Fillett of Sale - Cucumber Island Long Island - Barberry Litch Lemon Funch Vanilla Ice Cream and Assorted Cocoa Demitasse Those present were, Dr. W. H. Brooks, Frank H. Gilbert, Bref, W. S. Scarborough, John H. Nail, Prof. W. L. Bulkley, Dr. Gustavus Henderson, Henry G. Parker, Warren Logan, Jr. J. Rosamond Johnson, Dr. George Sims, H. F.

Harlem Agents Raising Rents (Continued from page one) a gradual increase in rents. There are eighteen back and twelve front apartments. The back apartments of four rooms have been raised now to $22 save the second and fifth floors, which are $23. With the recent raise, the front apartments of five rooms are costing $25, $26 and $28. Will Petition the Mayor. Tenants on West 143rd street who rent from Grohman Bros. allege that it is impossible to get the houses cleaned. It is also alleged that in order to force white tenants out to make room for colored tenants who would pay more rent, apartments costing $28 were raised to $40. This was in the case of several white tenants who would not agree to move when asked to by the agents. They were told they could stay if they would pay the increased rentals. Referring to the excuse given by the lessees that the increased rent was due to in-reased cost of coal, it is stained by one of the tenants that there was stored during the summer, by the lessees, a sufficient amount of coal to run all their houses during the winter, and that besides they purchased a reserve supply at the same time, at the reduced rates prevailing during that season. Mr. is proposed by the tenants of the properties handled by Grohman Bros., and others, that in case of failure to secure reasonable adjustment of rents, a petition will be circulated among the people in Harlem with the view of securing thousands of signatures, the shorter petition to be presented to Mayor Mitchel, asking that some steps be taken by the city to curb the agents who are charging excessive rents for horses occupied by colored people. It is believed that the Mayor will have the same power in case of high rentals as in cases of high cost of food and coal. PLAINFIELD, N. J. PLAINFIELD, N. J.—Mrs. Abram Hoffman, of Sonnerville, N.

But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightness proprietion on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you can apply it on the hair and have on a little compass the air before straight, not to allow for one day or one week, but to hatch from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. So more or less a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own ages. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another organization because like it. We offer a reward of $199 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-n-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp or hair; it relatively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-n-more is sold under a guarantee to do that. We will send you a refund if you支ford. We will send to anyone on the receipt of $1.80 a regular six inch box of Kink-n-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. When ordering send regular $1.80 a six inch box of press money order. Liberal inducements offered to agents. Write to-day for special terms. Enclose 2 cent stamp to reply. Akenta wanted everywhere.

THURSDAY, NOV. 23, 1916 It is reliably reported that Princeton refused to play Brown on the gridiron this year because of Fred Pollard, Brown's sensational halfback. Woodrow Wilson was for many years President of Princeton and during his regime colored applicants were refused admission because of their color. His influence as an enemy of the Negro still lives at Princeton. And this same Woodrow Wilson is for "unity" and poses as a disciple of "justice." In giving notice to the public that the National League On Urban Conditions Among Negroes is in need of workers, we come across the following: "Applicants for these positions should be men who have had some experience in dealing with these matters, and should be college graduates, if possible." Why the demand for college graduates? Is the league engaged in a search for college graduates or experienced workers? There are times when the directors of the Urban League are too insistent in their demands that those in its employ be college graduates. The Age does not oppose the employment of college graduates, but believes in giving a square deal. Experience and efficiency should be made the standard rather than degrees. The Louisville News seems to be unduly exercised over the action of The Age, in announcing directly after election that Charles E. Hughes had been chosen President, which it characterizes as "about the biggest blunder ever perpetrated by the colored press." As every morning paper in New York committed a similar blunder the day after election, including Mr. Wilson's chief supporters, the World and the Times, who also commented editorially on the success of the Republican nominee, we suggest that the News now take these big metropolitan papers to task and show its readers that the white press also erred. When The Age went to press Wednesday evening, November 9, Chairman Willcox and other Republican leaders assured The Age that they felt confident of having carried the election for Hughes by a small margin. According to the News, The Age should have gone to press one day later; but even two days later would not have materially changed matters, for it was not until Saturday that the re-election of Wilson seemed a certainty. When most of The Age readers received a copy of the paper in question the election was still in doubt. As we go to press this week Mr. Hughes has not sent Mr. Wilson a congratulatory telegram. OFFICERING THE REGI- MENT. Col. William Hayward is experiencing difficulty securing colored officers for the Fifteenth Regiment. There are less than twelve commissioned officers in the regiment and some fifty-odd vacancies exist. Where are those who have been clamoring for years for a colored regiment; and where are the ambitious, intelli- Read the following paragraph carefully, and see if you can think of any finer expression of what Americanism ought to be that was ever put into words: "I need not say that, coming to me as you do on such an errand, I am very deeply gratified and very greatly cheered. It would be impossible for me offhand to say just what thoughts are stirred in me by what Mr. Gompers has said to me as your spokesman. What I have tried to do is to get rid of any class division in this country not only, but of any class consciousness and feeling. The worst thing that could happen to America would be that she should be divided into groups and camps in which there were men and women who thought that they were at odds with one another, that the spirit of America was not expressed except in them, and that possibilities of antagonism were the only things that we had to look forward to. "As Mr. Gompers said, achievement is a comparatively small matter, but the spirit in which things are done is of the essence of the whole thing and what I am striving for, and what I hope you are striving for, is to blot out all the lines of division in America and create a unity of spirit and of purpose founded on this, the consciousness that we are all men and women of the same sort and that if we do not understand each other, we are, not true Americans. If we can not enter into each other's essential welfare, then we have not yet, qualified as representatives of the American spirit." Now can you guess who uttered these beautiful sentiments? They were uttered by none other than President Wilson. He was speaking in response to an address by Mr. Samuel Gompers on behalf of a delegation from the American Federation of Labor, which went to Washington to congratulate him on his re-election. The only conviction we are able to get from the President's words is that colored Americans as a class did not in any degree enter his thoughts while he was speaking. From the many such sentiments expressed by Mr. Wilson, we are forced to believe that he does not in any way think of the Negro as a part of the American people. DOWN IN·OLE SOUTH CA'LINA.

We will it would be more profitable for Daughters of Confederacy and that let the "old time nigger" rest, and the "New Negro." The following social note is clipped from one of the leading papers of South Carolina: Edgefield, Nov. 18—Tuesday afternoon Miss Marie Abney and Mrs. Gladys Calhoun were hostesses to the Edgefield chapter, United Daughters of Confederacy. The meeting was presided over by the president, Mrs. R. A. Marsh. During the business sessions, Mrs. J. L. Mims read an interesting letter from Mrs. John Lakes, member of the chapter who is now engaged in missionary work in China. The report of the committee to arrange for the printing of the year book was received and it was ordered printed. Mrs. Pendleton Jones presided over the historical programme, the first number being "Old Black Joe" by the chapter's choir; Mrs. J. H. Cantelou read a beautiful "Tribute to Old Southern Mammies." Mrs. Woodson read a selection entitled, "Mammy and Me." "Massa's in De Cold Ground" was next sung by the choir. "The Old Time Nigger" was the title on an interesting paper read by Mrs. P. M. Feltham. At the conclusion of the historical or literary programme the hostesses served dainty sandwiches, with coffee and whipped cream. The vases of large roses on the mantel and tables in the parlor added brightness and cheer to the occasion, which was one of unusual pleasure. Here is one of the best explanations we have ever seen given of the fact that South Carolina is at the tail end of the procession of the States. In this distinctly forward looking age, here is a party of what we suppose are the most intelligent people in the state wasting their time looking backward. We can imagine the handling the "New Negro" must have received in Mrs. P. M. Feltham's paper on "The Old Time Nigger." We would suggest to Mrs. Feltham that it would be more profitable for the Edgefield chapter, United Daughters of Confederacy and the whole state of South Carolina to let the "old time nigger" rest, and to study and try to understand the "New Negro." linois, The Age can say with pride that they are the equal of many of the white commissioned officers of that State and the superior of some. white friends would be impelled to point out that here was another case of the colored man being too ambitious to have something for which he was not yet ready. The mental and physical tests are not the only demands that seem to be the stumbling block so far to colored men. Financial standing has also become an important factor. It is said that some of the present officers of the Fifteenth Regiment are unable to furnish the necessary number of uniforms and cannot get the regulation sword, etc., as provided by the military authorities. If reports are true, some of these officers would not make a favorable impression if ordered to report for dress inspection. Colored men of means, who are intelligent and sound of body (and there are many of them in New York) should come forward immediately and help their race out of an embarrassing position. We wanted a colored regiment, and we have one. But so far we have not shown sufficient mental, physical and financial capacity to maintain one. This is a serious matter. We cannot afford to officer the regiment with other than Negrões. Should white men become commissioned officers it is doubtful if colored men would ever get another opportunity as now presents itself. We are constantly asking for equal opportunity. Here is an opportunity which we should take advantage of. If we don't we will have no just cause to complain if white officers are ultimately selected. The Negroes of New York must officer the Fifteenth Regiment with men of their race for another reason: Should we fail, in VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR More than once we have said that the main difficulty of the race question does not lie so much in the actual condition of the colored people as it does in the mental attitude of the white people. That is to say, the burden of the question is not that the whites are struggling to save ten million despondent people from sinking into a hopeless slough of ignorance, poverty and barbarity in their very midst, but that they are unwilling to open certain doors of opportunity and to accord certain treatment to ten million aspiring, education-and-property-acquiring people. When we look at the problem from this angle, it is not so hopeless as it sometimes appears to be; because a mental attitude, especially one not based on truth, can be changed more easily than actual conditions. If we were really a backward, downward moving people, our problem would indeed be one that might be called hopeless. But we know we are not that kind of a people. We know we should ask no favor of the mental attitude of the whites—that is, the general public opinion—would allow us a fair field. This change of the mental attitude of the whites, of the general public opinion regarding us depends more upon the Southern press and pulpit than upon any other agencies in the country. If the press and pulpit of the South would take a firm stand for fairness, justice and common humanity toward the Negro, it would not be long before the sentiment of that entire section and the whole country would be changed. But the words of Southern preachers and editors have for years ranged from pale apology for lawlessness, oppression and brutality all the way to a fierce upholding of those practices; and in this, the pulpit has been the chief sinner. Nevertheless, here and there the Southern press is beginning to speak out. The migration of so many colored men from the South seems to give these editors the occasion and opportunity to say some things that they have long felt to be right but dared not utter. They dare to utter them now because they are relieved of the embarrassment of basing their arguments on morality or sentiment, but can base them on dollars and cents. And so it seems that this exodus will bring us a double blessing; the whole race will be better off, for as many as can will leave and find profitable employment in the North, and those who remain will receive better treatment. There are several papers in the heart of the South that are taking a stand for fairer treatment to the Negro. Among these is the Columbia "State," the best edited paper in South Carolina, and one of the few southern dailies that is widely quoted throughout the country. The State, under the heading of "The Unlynchable Facts" published several weeks ago a column editorial on the Abbeville crime. We quote below the last three paragraphs of this strong article. "The State would prefer to deal with this matter as one of morals, but, that being apparently futile, it may be as well to get down on the lower level of the pocketbook. Shall the Negroes be driven out of South Carolina? Shall an Abbeville mob tell them that their case is hopeless, absolutely hopeless, and that their sole safety is in flight? To say that they have but to behave themselves is to trifle. White men quarrel and fight, committing assaults. The Negroes will never deport themselves better than do the white people. Shall the farms be depopulated? Shall they be desolated? Shall the mob go into partnership with the boll weevil to drive away the labor from the farms and bankrupt this Southern country? "For two or three years lynching has been on the wane in South Carolina. Whether or not the Abbeville affair shall give it a new start is for the white people to determine. "The time has come when the lynching of a Negro may be expensive. The time has come when it may be easier to be rid of Negroes than by lynching them—when the task is to keep them. Mobs in these days may lynch their pocketbooks. "We leave the question with the land-owning farmers of South Carolina. Hard facts are unlynchable." Still more recently; in fact, only last week, the State had another column editorial under the heading, "South Carolina Election Laws." This article is the first of a series which the editor intends to write on the subject. From this editorial we reproduce the last paragraph, which was emphasized by being printed in big type: If the vote of the Negroes is to be curtailed in future THE NOTION THAT A WHITE SKIN AND NOTHING ELSE SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT QUALIFICATION FOR VOTING WILL HAVE TO BE ABANDONED. THE MAKERS OF THE CONSTITUTION INTENDED THAT IT BE ABANDONED AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF JANUARY, 1898. IF THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA LACK THE COURAGE AND THE CONSCIENCE TO DISFRANCHISE AN ILLITERATE WHITE MAN THEN THEY WOULD BETTER CEASE TO TALK ABOUT KEEPING THE NEGROES OR EVEN THE MAJORITY OF THE PERMANENTLY OUT OF POLITICS IN THE COMING YEARS. We quote these paragraphs for the benefit of our readers who, otherwise, would not see them. We believe, after reading them they will agree that when a paper like the State, in the heart of South Carolina dares to publish such sentiments, a new day is dawning for the race in the South. And not only the Columbia State, but the Macon Telegraph, in the heart of Georgia, and the Times-Union, the most influential paper in Florida, and papers in other Southern states are daring to speak the truth. If all the principal publications of the South will follow, the result will be a gradual but certain change of public sentiment regarding the race; and more than that we need not ask. gent, progressive young men, who believe in race recognition? Col. Hayward and the military officials of the State would have no trouble getting colored officers were they to lower the standard required of white men and select applicants principally because of their color. But colored men who aspire to become officers are put through the same mental and physical tests. This method of selection seems to have killed the ambition of many who previously spoke with no little enthusiasm of becoming officers. In discussing the organization of the Fifteenth Regiment reference is sometimes made to the Eighth Illinois, which is officered by Negroes. However, it should not be overlooked that the two regiments came into being under vastly different conditions. The Eighth Illinois is a product of the Spanish-American War, when the military authorities were far less rigid and exacting in their requirements. To-day New York is said to put an applicant for an officer's commission through a more severe test than any State in the Union.

"JUSTICE WITH A HEART IN IT." Woodrow Wilson is "opposed" to the existing class feeling in this country. He told a delegation from the American Federation of Labor last Saturday that all class feeling in America should be wiped out by the establishment of justice "with a heart in it." And what I am striving for, and, I hope you are striving for, is to blot out all the lines of division in America and create a unity of spirit and of purpose founded upon this, the consciousness that we are all men and women of the same sort and that if we do not understand each other we are not true Americans. If we cannot comprehend each other's interests, if we cannot serve each other's essential welfare, then we have not yet qualified as representatives of the American spirit. Nothing alarms America so much as rifts, divisions, the drifting apart of elements among her people, and the thing we ought all to strive-for is to close up every rift, and the only way to do it, so far as I can see, is to establish justice not only, but justice with a heart in it, justice with a pulse in it, justice with sympathy in it. Justice can be cold and forbidding, or it can be warm and welcome, and the later is the only kind of -justice that Americans ought to desire. I do not believe I am deceiving myself when I say that I L.think this spirit is growing in America. I pray God it may continue to grow. And all I have to say is to exhort every one whom my voice reaches here or elsewhere to come into this common movement of humanity. We confess, we are unable to understand Mr. Wilson. Throughout his plea for "justice with a heart in it" we find him puzzling and inconsistent. The President says he is striving to blot out all lines of division in America. How? By uphold- ing the segregation of colored clerks in the Governmental Departments at Washington and elsewhere? By countenancing the anti-Negro policy waged by his party which makes laws to discriminate against a certain group of people? To The Age, the setting up of Woodrow Wilson to the world as a second Abraham Lincoln by his blind admirers, is an insult to the name of that great Emancipator and a travesty on American history. FRED POLLARD. The football season has brought forward one great and particular star, and he is Fred Pollard, the halfback on the Brown University team. It is a singular thing how, in spite of obstacles and handicaps, some colored student in one of the great universities rises up each two or three years and becomes the center of all eyes in the athletic world. There have been many, and now comes Pollard to keep up the long line. The press hails Pollard as the greatest halfback in the country. In the game on last Saturday in which Brown beat Harvard 21 to 0; Pollard's play was acknowledged as marvelous. The Age takes off its hat to Mr. Pollard, and wishes him a long career and still greater victories on the gridiron, and in the struggle of life. Mr. Pollard is doing a very great deal to help solve the race problem. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Mr. Parsons Compliments Mr. Anderson The Hon. Charles W. Anderson, chairman of the Colored Advisory Committee during the recent Presidential campaign, is in receipt of the following communication from Herbert Parsons, National Committeeman, who was one of the most active heads of the Republican National Committee. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE Executive Committee 2'E. 438 St. Herbert Parsons New York City November 11, 1916. Hon. Chas W. Anderson. It was the greatest relief to have you at the head of the work of the Colored Advisory Committee. Your consideration, your judgment, your industry, and your intelligence cooperated to practically relieve me entirely. I am extremely grateful. On behalf of the party as well as myself I thank you many times. THE WOMEN'S SPECIAL TRAIN. To the Editor of THE AGE. In your issue of November 16 I note an editorial giving reasons for the defeat of Mr. Hughes in the recent general election. I take exception to that part which deals with the Hughes Women's Special Train. In making the statement that it was a miscalculation to send the train to get the suffragett vote, snows that Titie Age is sharing the general ignorance of both press and public. It seems that both have found it difficult to discriminate between "Train Committee" and "Train Speakers". The former was made up of over seven hundred women, of all classes and ranks of society, who contributed to the expenses of the train. The "Train Speakers" were women who have contributed to our national life, either by service in working for and with the oppressed, or by giving to the reading public their best efforts in disclosing conditions under which people live and work, also women who could give first hand information of Charles Evans Hughes, because of their close association with him in his work when Governor of New York State. The editorial states: "We are sorry to admit it, but it is true, up to the present the main distinction between men is generally governed by what they know, the main distinction between women is generally governed by what they wear." If this were really true it would, indeed, be a sorrow to admit it—but experience has taught us that men and women are very much alike when it comes to voting. Few have a real desire to see good in our politics. Some want prosperity no matter what it costs; the rest, many, alas, too many, want some one else to do their thinking for them and they are amplly satisfied. Continuing, the editorial says: "Whether a man addressing an audience he seedy or dressed in style makes no difference, so long as he shows he knows what he is talking about. But the elegantly dressed women who toured the West for Hughes, appear to have stirred up little more than envy amongst their less fortunate sisters. Truly, that is absurdly amusing. The women of the Special Train had neither time or space for "elegant dresses." On all occasions their hostess and audiences were better dressed. The showing of smart gowns was the least of their thoughts—their main business was to get votes for Hughes, and prove his worth to the nation by his sundial record. One statesman, recognized all over the world for knowing what he is talking about, and what he thinks is best for this nation, at a joint meeting with the women of the Special Train, found it was the men in the audience who didn't want to hear what he knew, and who prevented him saying what he hoped from Mr. Hughes. There was heard, from various quarters, men saying after the meeting, "Why cannot he come to an evening meeting in a dress suit, it would look so much better and show taste." Another national orator, who also toured the West for Hughes, was criticized by men because he was always the "pink of fashion." Yet one has written that these men helped to lose the campaign for Mr. Hughes, because of envy they aroused. Truly, it is most interesting to note when women come into the field of man's activity, whether industrial, political, or what not, any failure that takes place, is no longer put to any masculine shortcoming, but is wholeheartedly blamed upon the women. It ought to be a joy and the men ought to hold out a wonderful welcome to women to enter politics, when they (the men) would have something handy to blame their failures upon. It was the women of the Special Train who fearlessly made an issue in this campaign of Wilson's failure to keep his pre-election pledges to the American Negroes, who sparred the colored folk in governmental departments, who removed them from official life to make room for deserving white Southern Democrats. In other words, did that, which speakers and politicians of both parties feared to do,—told the truth about the down-trodden Negro of both the North and South,—not only to Negro audiences but street meetings and public gatherings. Mayhaps, somewhere in this land, someone will say, this is one of the reasons Hughes lost the election, because an effort was shown the voting Negro the necessity of changing the administration, if he expected to keep what little political representation he had. This would be just as plausible as putting the blame, in part or whole, of the loss of the election, upon the Women's Special Train. When the history of the Special Train is written in the annals of American political history, it will be read, that women with a big national vision, against mountains of prejudice and much opposition, financed and carried through a wonderful piece of work, in which women were launched into national politics to stay, and with their help the men and women of the country realized the need of a common policy, which each and every one understands and believes. Then America will feel it an honor and loyal duty to give efficient service for justice and right and liberty.

MOTON'S VIEWS Principal Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, in an address at the Baptist convention in Savannah, Ga., said: "Better school facilities and protection of life and property of the Negro will be the only means of keeping him from leaving the South and going to the North in search of education and employment. Logically the South is the black man's home and he is better off there than anywhere else, owing to his adaptability to the economic conditions which he finds in the land of his birth. The people of the South should do all they can to keep the Negro among them. This they can do by better wages, better treatment, better educational advantages and by doing away with lynching. Education, protection of property and guarantee of justice in the courts will keep the Negro at home. I believe that the best white people of the South are conscientiously trying to bring about these conditions, in order that the South may be true to American ideals and continue to benefit by the Negro's efficient labor for the general uplife of humanity." CLOSING RIFTS IN THE BODY POLITICS. To the 400 members of the American Federation of Labor who called on him at the White House on Saturday President Wilson said: "Nothing alarms America so much as rifts, divisions, the drifting apart of elements among her people, and the thing we ought all to strive tor is to close up every rift, and the only way to do it, so far as I can see, is to establish justice not only, but justice with a heart in it, justice with a pulse in it, justice with sympathy in it." This sentiment must have been accepted by the federationists as an indolesement and approval of their recent action in favor of the unionization of Negroes in the South, a departure from the historic policy of unionism that has attracted much attention. The rift, division, drifting apart, of black Americans and white Americans has been the cause of grace forchodings among thoughtful men for years; the drawing together of black American, and White Americans of which the new attitude of the federation is evidence is a matter of profound significance. It is to be assumed that Mr. Wilson's contribution to this movement will take the form of an acceleration of justice, social, legal and moral, for the Negro; and in certain sections of the country if the Negro can get justice he will be rejoiced to accept it, even though it lack heart and pulse and sympathy. POLLARD SENSATION OF FOOTBALL SEASON The New York Sun of Sunday, November 19, under the caption "Pollard Rums Riot Against Harvard," gives the following account of the wonderful playing of Fred Pollard, Brown's sensational halfback, in Saturday's game in which Brown defeated Harvard at Cambridge, 21 to 0: Brown's football team crept into the front ranks of the nation's gridiron champions yesterday when it completely outplayed Harvard and won decisively, 21 to 0. In victory one man stood out as possibly the greatest halfback of the country, and he is Fred Pollard, the Negro player of the Providence team. In the final period Harvard fought with desperation, hoping to at least score. It began its fierce attack on its own twenty-four yard line and carried the ball thirty-six yards before being stopped, when the all present Pollard intercepted a forward pass. Then it was Undefecated through the season and with its goal line uncrossed, Pollard and his Brunoian stalwarts smothered Harvard under an attack so vicious and so varled as to keep the Crimson almost entirely on the defence, and then only a Smothering to advance at that. Just as he did at New Haven a week ago, Pollard ran root. He made gains through THE BASEBALL TEAM OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (Photo from Underwood & Underwood N. Y.) FRED POLLARD Star Back of the strong Brown University team, who has been a tower of strength this season. the line, off tackle and around end, and not once he stopped. His dashes with the ball netted each time from four to forty yards. Although the special object of Harvard's vigilance, Pollard could not be stopped. At times Harvard became so forceful in its attempts to at least check the great Negro player official recognition was compelled. Once Harvard was penalized fifteen yards when Pollard was unnecessarily roughed after a brilliant exploit. Harvard tried mightily to detract from the worth of the Brown halfback, but he was the hero of the game. He was head and shoulders better than any other man on the field. Ovation for Star Players. When Pollard nally gave way to a substitute after the third touchdown was scored and the game irretri胜y tucked away in the archives of Brown, the crowd rose as one and accorded him an ovation rarely heard even on a collegiate field. Harvard and Brown united in acknowledging Pollard the halfback of the year. He was the sensation, the spectacle and all else of the game. Not only was he a veritable demon on offence, but rarely did he fail to throw a Harvard runner on the defence. He received forward passes cleanly, but almost only those of him, but also Harvard passers which he intercepted. Pollard was effective, in every department of play, exhibiting not one weakness, and he had several chances to fail had he been of the failing kind. The Harvard team which faced Brown was weakened somewhat by the absence of several regulars, who were being saved for the battle with Yale to come next Saturday. Except in flashes, it was without consistent power in attack. Toward the close of the second period if played the best game and by no need plunging placed the ball close to the goal line, but the whistle for half time prevented a touchdown. Bond was the factor of greatest force in the Crimson Lighthouse. Pollard Goca Over. Three times Brown stormed the Crimson goal line in the opening period after Purdy and Pollard had raided the ball inside the 10 yard line. Twice the ball was carried over the line but an official ruling that it went outside on one play prevented a touchdown. Pollard made the first score on a short rush through the line after he had raided the ball sixty yards by two spectacular dashes. Raffled and held goal 1 in the second period. Pollard refused to be drenched in the third. He blided his foot until after an exchange of punts Brown secured the ball on an inside field. Here Pollard knuffed the Harvard tackle, the secondary defence and bound over the final oblique to his path, racing forty-six yards to a touchdown. In this race he used the straight arm, a baffling change of stride and extreme speed to alip by the Harvard tacklers. In the final jersey Harvard fought with desperation, hoping to at least score. It began its fierce attack on its own twenty-four yard line and carried the ball thirty-six yards before being stopped, when the all present Pollard intercepted a forward pass. Then it was Pollard again. He threw himself against the Harvard line for several short gains. Purdy and Jemail-assisted a lot and helped baffle Harvard long enough for Pollard to break away for another forty yard run, which was stopped only two yards from the Crimson goal line. Purdy Scores for Brown. Pollard was allowed a chance to make the touchdown, but he was stopped two inches from the coveted goal. Purdy then took the ball directly through the line for the third touchdown. All three goals from touchdown were booted by Devilhals, who has kicked thirty-one such goals this season without a miss. Although Harvard played several substitutes yesterday and was content to see Brown the winner, no Harvard enthusiast dreamed that the Crimson would have been unplayed, so decisively. It has taken a lot of confidence from the men and forced the knowledge on the coaches that if Yale is to be met successfully Harvard must be up and doing with a vengeance for the rest of the week.

Weeks Murray . Q.B. Purdy Burnham . L.H. Pollard Bond . R.H. Jemail Flower . F.B. Hillhouse ANOTHER TRIBUTE TO POLLARD. In the New York Evening Globe Eugene O'Connell pays the following splendid tribute to the prowess of Fréd Pollard in the game last Saturday against Harvard. The article is headed: "The Season's Football - Sensation - Fréd Pollard, Brown's Great Halfback, Regarded as Peer of Any Man Who Ever Chased a Pigskin Over a Gridiron," and O'Connell writes as follows: When the 1916 football season has drifted into the easily dimmed and more easily forgotten past of sporting events; when things that are still unread from Time's unturned pages and football heroes of the past have had the nubulous haze of glory which encircles them dimmed a little more; even after managers of the various football teams shall have been terribly mangled in the terrific crush to claim championships, the present year will not be devoid of its gridiron stars. But from among the vast corde of men who have chased the pigsman on gridirons from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, there is one young athlete who must be hailed as the peer of any of the men who now occupy niches in the football of fame. Fred D. Pollard, a duskskinned young American, halfback on the Brown team, and particularly bright luminary of the Brunonian eleven, is the man. Practically single handed, the young colored boy has beaten Yale and Harvard on successive afternoons on their own fields. He has been the backbone of the hammering attack which has brought Brown through a tough season with an unbroken string of victories. He plays football because he likes it, and his quiet deportment, grit and stamina, coupled with his remarkable ability, have forced crowds at both New Haven and Cambridge, sorrowful in defeat, to stand up and acclaim him as he left the field, giving way to a substitute after the game was safely tucked away. Before Saturday's game Pollard was confident that Brown would win, but he is not given to talking. As a matter of foot, it is almost as hard to get him to talk as to get a hard-boiled egg to buy. Little as Pollard would say about anything else, he had less to say about himself. With everyone else round about praising him to the skies, Pollard's words about himself were as few as Princeton victories over Yale. Pollard is now in his second year at Brown, having matriculated there last year from Lane Technical High School, Chicago. It is said that before entering Brown, Pollard went up and looked around Dartmouth, where his brother had played football some years ago. His mind was not made up on what school he would attend, although he had decided that it would be either Dartmouth or Brown. He finally decided on Brown, much to the sorrow of Yale and Harvard men, not to mention the sons of various other colleges. There is no hint that Pollard came to Brown through any persuasion because of his athletic ability, and this is said because sometimes there have been hints of prowess in the case of other star athletes. Sure enough, he played scholastic football and played well for three years while a student in Lane Tech, but he was not an outstanding star. He came to Brown unknown and made no talk of even trying for the football team. As a matter of fact, none of the coaches or then interested in football up at the Providence university knew that the quiet young colored boy knew anything about football. They did know that in his spare time he used to come out and watch the practice, but, then, pretty nearly every other student does he come thing. The first inking the coaches had that he knew something about the game was last year, a month after the practice season had started. One day Pollard came out to the field and asked the head coach if he might don a uniform and come out for practice. The coach asked Pollard if he had ever played the game, and Pollard told of his high school experience. As a result, Pollard came out --- MATT MARSHAL MATT MARSHAEL Who Died in New York Recently. that day and every day thereafter, and finished the season as one of the stars of the team. It is not all football and hurrah for Pollard. With him it is a case of dropping the flattron to be dropped on the gridiron. You see, Pollard is working his way through college, and earns the money for his expenses by running a little tailor shop. The work keeps him pretty busy and now he has another colored student helping him. Of course it may be that his business has grown through his prowess as a football player, for who would not want his trousers pressed by a man who in a week's time can press both Yale and Harvard into the flatness of defeat? Perhaps there will be those who will rise up and state that Pollard's tailoring business has grown because of his football playing, or that his football has improved because of the relationship between a flattron and a gridiron, and may therefore want to call him a professional. Pollard also is fond of track athletics and has developed his speed by hurdling. He is now one of the best hurdlers in Brown, and keeps on improving. In football every follower of the game is now aware of his record, and he still has two years to play. If he keeps on improving as he did since last year, about the only thing that will stop him is a stone wall, reinforced with steel. If anyone questions his gameness, let him ask those who saw the whole Harvard team jumping all over him in an effort to slow him up, only to have him come back with more vim. That he is a smart player was demonstrated when he outwitted the whole Yale team a week ago last Saturday, when he picked up a blocked kick back of his own goal line and ran out to the ten-yard line by tricky dodging. His football ability in other departments of the game has stood out throughout the season. We cannot see how Pollard can be overlooked in picking out the stars of a decade. Howard Defoats Fisks. NASHVILLE, TENN.—Several thousand supporters of both teams, including visitors from as far as Chicago, saw Howard defeat Fisk University team in a hard fought football game by the score of '16 to 0. Two touch downs and a goal in the second quarter and a field goal in the third quarter marked all of the scoring by Howard, and Fisk was unable to score a point. Atlanta University Frightens Morehouse Atlanta, Ga. — Morehouse had to hustle to beat A. U. last Saturday. Previous to this game A. U had won from Talladega and Tuskegee. They began the fight with the greatest of hope and determination. Morehouse underestimated their strength and was trusting victory as a matter of sequence. A U for the first half played the Tigers off their feet and kept the ball in M. C.'s territory most of the time. The half ended 10 to 0 in their favor. In the second half Morehouse came back, having realized that the game was in the fire and they set to work like demons. A touchdown, goal and a drop kick tied the score in the third quarter. Two minutes thereafter another touchdown and goal were registered. The Tigers kept the ball in their possession practically through the remainder of the game. Touchdowns — Morehouse: Warren, 2; goal from field, Hall, 1; goals, Lewis, 2. Final score — M. C. 17, A. I. 10. Morehouse has now cleared the path to the southern championship of all obstructions save Flask University. They meet in Nashville Thanksgiving Day at Morehouse, to chomp the title. Inputted into Flask, though Flask is really eliminated since they struck Talladega and Tuskegee off their schedule. Lincoln Defeated by Hampton.

TAD SCORES WILLARD Among the large list of white writers who does not think much of Jess Willard as a fighter and who does not hesitate to say so in print is Tad, of the New York Journal. This is what Tad thinks about Willard: Jess Willard is beginning to worry about the winter. One day we hear that he in about to step before the, footlights, then we hear that he may retire, as there is no one for him to quarrel with. Just how Mr. Willard figures himself is a mystery. He never was a star in any of his bouta, Gunbant Smith beat him, and he had hard work with Morrison, Moran and others. He says that Fulton, Weinert and others are too soft, Dillon too small, and Langford, Willis and others out of it, because he drew the color line. He fought Johnson when the latter was unfit and in no jighting mood, but it must be cowardice that keeps him from mingling with other colored heavies now. Should Langford, meet Willard there would be many a dollar bet that the tar baby would bring home the bacon. At the time Willard defeated Johnson in Cuba the consensus of opinion was that Willard was a fourflusher. Since the memorable contest Johnson has admitted that the fight was not on the level. And again Tad comes back at Willard in another issue under the heading, "The Side-stepping Kid from Kansas" as follows: "Doesn't it make you sick when a great big boob like Jess Willard draws the color line? He's ground barking because there's no one to fight. There's plenty of trouble around if he wants it. There are Langford and Wills, only too eager to start a quarrel. "Willard's stand is exactly the same as Jeffries' was years ago. Jeff never did like the looks of Johnson, and after fighting three or four colored fellows he drew the line, too, and then to make sure that Johnson would have no fight he retired. "Nothing like ducking the tough ones, if you can. "Our real champions never ducked behind the color line. They took 'em all, white or black. The fans never forget such fighters as Terry McGovern, George Lavigne, Tommy Ryan, Joe Choynski, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim 'Corbett', Mysterious Billy' Smith, Abe Attell, O'Brien Ketehel, "Philadelphia Jack" BACK and Kid Carter "The Amateur Billiard Club Notes.

INGORPORATORS Sporting Notes (BY ALEXANDER WATERS) PUGILISM. Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue.—Last Friday night in the star bout of the evening, John Lester Johnson, conceded to be the best light heavyweight fighter in the world, white or colored, met Dan (Porky) Flynn of Boston. Johnson, who is fighting in great form lately, put up the battle of his career. Though outweighed twenty pounds, the colored boy did not seem to mind it, and fought an aggressive battle. For ten rounds Flynn, who is a very rough man in the ring, tried every way to stop the aggressive colored boy, but Johnson's cleverness offset all Flynn's roughness and he had little trouble in outpointing the white man. Johnson's main attack was on Flynn's face, which received many lightning jabs and then the colored boy would sink his right in Flynn's stomach. The white man did not seem to like this, and once he claimed Johnson his him low, but it was not true. At the end of the tenth round Flynn's face showed the results of Johnson's jabs, as one eye was closed and his lip split. Weights—Johnson, 180: Flynn, 203 Wee Wee Barton, the Harlem lightweight, who has been out of the game for several weeks on account of being sick, came back and showed his friends and the fight fans that the hay-off did not do him any harm, but improved his fighting ability 50 per cent. Barton was faster than I have ever seen him before, and his blocking was great. Barton met Andy Cortez in the other ten-round bout and fought a great battle. He was continually on top of his opponent, walloping him with vicious rights to the jaw and body and sending left-hand uppercuts to the chin, but as Cortez is some fighter himself and does not give away an inch, at the end of the tenth round they were standing toe to toe fighting like two demons. Barton was a winner over his white opponent by a shade. Weights—Barton, 134; Cortez, 136. Sandy Taylor, coming lightweight of Harlem, and a boy who really can fight, outpointed Young Bailey K. Q. Lou Williams is the colored welterweight champion of the world, and one boy, if the present holder of the title, Jack Britton, will meet him, who will surely become champion of the world. Williams meets Billy Bush at the Vanderbilt A C. Brooklyn, on Monday, November 20, and I am sure there will be a knockout scored by the colored boy before the tenth round. Williams is in perfect condition and has been trained specially for this bout by Prof. Bobby Doblis, who is said to be one of the best trainers in the world, white or colored. Under his training Williams is sure to become the best colored fighter before the public at the present time. His manager, James Ferriber, known in the pugilistic world as "Colored Billy Gibson," on account of square dealing with all the fighters he manages, is willing to bet $500 that Williams can stop any legitimate welterweight in the world in twenty rounds. Immediately after the bout with Bush, Williams, his manager and trainer, will leave for Pawtucket, R. I., and several other down East cities, where Williams is matched to fight during the month of December. Vanderbilt A. C., Brooklyn.—On last Friday night the main bout of the evening came to an abrupt out in the sixth round when Walter Mohr knocked out Babe Johnson. Johnson, who has been fighting only a short time and making a great showing up to this bout, fought a creditable fight with his more experienced opponent for six rounds. His manager, Jim Johnson, should have waited a little longer before accepting a match with a hard boy like Mohr, but Babe has a good future yet—that is, if his manager will be more careful in selecting opponents for him in the future. Weights—Johnson, 136, Mohr, 137½. Fairmount A C. The Bronx—Onlast Saturday night Harry Wills, the foremost heavyweight now before the public, whose manager is trying every day to get a match with Champion Willard for the title, met Jack Thompson in the star bout of the evening. The bout was the best that has been fought between two heavyweight men in some time, there being no dull moments during the fight. Wills carried the fight to his opponent in every round, but found a willing receiver in Thompson and a man that fought back very hard. The New Orleans boy punished his opponent very bad, and it looked as if he would finish him long before he did, but he found his opponent a hard nut to crack. But when the bell rang for the seventh round it was apparent that Thompson could not last much longer under the severe punishment that Wills was handing him. In nearly every round Wills scored a knock-down with vicious rights and to the jaw, but in the ninth round the end came when Wills caught his opponent with a hard right on the point of the jaw and he was counted out. Weights—Wills, 203; Thompson, 207 Vanderbilt A C. Brooklyn - On last Monday evening, in the star bout of a fine card, K. O. Lou Williams, formerly of Savannah, but now of New York, and the recognized colored wetterweight champion of the world, met Bobby Bush. It was one of the best bouts while it lasted the fight, fans have witnessed in some time at this club. Williams is improving in every fight under his trainer, Prof Bobby Dohbs. In meeting Bush the colored boy met one of the toughest propositions in the ring today. Williams, who seconded to think that all white fighters are the same, started in to take things easy and left an opening, and Burch caught him fush on the law in the THEATRE EUGENE ELMORE, - Manager SEVENTH AVENUE AND 11TH STREET TELEPHONE 1811 MORNINGSIDE MENT CORPORATION, Lessees CORPORATION, Robt.

But when Williams regained his feet he started in to finish the white boy, and from the second round on it was nothing but Williams' fight until the fifth round, when Johnny McAvoy, the referee, stopped the bout to save the white boy from further punishment and a knockout. It was apparent that Bush could not last another round without being counted out. Williams' attack on his opponent was fierce after being knocked down, and he marred the features of the white boy considerably, and in the fifth round when the bout was stopped Bush was a much battered-up fighter. Weights=Williams, 148, blush, 151. Kid's Bacon of Harlem met Young Lynch in the six-round bout and they fought, a very even fight for the whole six rounds. Had a decision been given it would have been a draw. Leo Johnson, the colored lightweight champion of the world, and a boy open to meet any lightweight in the world, finds it hard to get anyone to meet him these days. His manager, Paddy Donnelly, told me that he had his protege signed up for three fights, but all the men ran out of them. Frankie Callahan, Ad Wolgast and Joe Welling were the men. Paddy declares he will start a pugilistic war if someone does not meet his boy soon. When Donnelly gets his Irish blood in he generally starts something, so we may see Johnson in action very soon. . . . Jesse McMahon, the new matchmaker of the Clermont A. C. Brooklyn, and manager of Eddie Dorsey, the premier lightweight of New York, notified me that his boy is matched to meet Benny Leonard at one of the local clubs in THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23. December, and if Dorsey will be in as good shape as he was when he fought Shumu O'Brien the white boy will have to fight his best to gain a decision over the world's best colored lightweight before the public now. The fight fans will see another great little colored fighter in action soon. Leo Patterson, the lightweight from St. Louis, comes to meet Joe Azvedo at the Hunt's Point A. C., the Bronx, in a few days. Patterson comes here with a great reputation, having fought the best boys in the world. Leo Johnson, the present lightweight champion, is the only boy that holds a decision over him. Harry Wills and Bill Watkins say the St. Louis boy will hold his own against any of the Eastern lightweights, white or colored. CHALLENGES Sandy Taylor, one of the best local lightweights in New York, is open to meet any boy at his weight in the world. Kid Bailey, who is fighting at his best these days, is open to meet any boy in the world at 133 pounds. Kid Rash, New York's premier paperweight, is open to meet any boy in the world making 105 pounds. K. O. Lou Williams, conceded by the fight fans to be the best colored welterweight in the world, is open to meet any one in the world at 145 pounds. By Phyllis M.
