VOL. XXX No. 19. CAFE OWNER FACES ARREST Riehm Must Either Pay Up or Go to Jail, Say Attorneys for Moore and Tobias. Supreme Court Justices Direct Lower Court to Enter Judgment of $500 Each on Behalf of Two Complainants. Justices Guy, Bijur and Shearn Hold that in Drawing Color Line a Refusal May Be Indirect as Well as Direct. John Riehm, the cafe proprietor, who has been ordered by Justices Guy, Bijur and Shearn of the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court to pay Eugene L. Moore and D. E. Tobias $500 each for violation of the Civil Rights Law, has been making, through his attorneys, a desperate attempt to avade the order of the court. However, the complainants have come out victor in almost every legal encounter. After judgment in the case had been entered by the Clerk of the Municipal Court and execution issued against the property of the defendant, the City Marshal reported that Riehm declared he had transferred all of his property and was unable to pay the judgments. William and Kohn, attorneys for Mestrs. Moore and Tobias, took the position that the cafe proprietor was liable to arrest and imprisonment, and notified Riehm that if the judgment was not paid they would insist that he be sent for it. The lawyer for the defendant next was that the orders of Justice Guy, Bijur and Shearam was urging that it did not provide the amount of damages in dollars and centimes actually should be awarded each of the plaintiffs, thereupon Williams and Kohn moved for a resettlement of the Appellate Court's order so as to change the form of the order providing for judgment in each case for $500. This motion was granted. Richards then attempted to thwart collection by retaining new lawyers and askin' for leave to appeal to the Appellate Division, which application was denied, Justices Guy, Bijur and Shearan, who then changed the order and directed Magistrate John R. Davies before whom the case was originally tried, to enter judgment in each of the cases' on behalf of Messrs Moore and Tobias. Arms Kohn, attorney for the plaintiffs, stated to a representative of Turr Aurs "it is our intention to bring every legal effort to hear to enforce the collection of the judgment in these cases and to subject the defendant to every process of law known to us to compel him to satisfy same. We do not propose to allow the transfer of his property to stand in the way of any move that we have in mind and at the proper time unless judgments are satisfied we shall take the necessary proceedings to set aside the transfer." In a lengthy opinion in which Justices Guy, Poirer and Shearan went into the testimony of the case they set forth their conclusion as follows The Law in the Case. "On this evidence the learned trial justice dismissed the complaints, on the authority of Beckett v. Plaintiff N.Y. S. 247. In so ruling the Court ordered. There is no parallel between this case and the authority relieved upon. In the Beckett case food had to be prepared and the proof was merely that after waiting twenty minutes the plaintiffs left the premises. There was no protest and nothing whatever to indicate a refusal, direct or indirect, other than the length of time taken to prepare the food. In this case the plaintiffs who stood at the bar for nearly half an hour, repeatedly asked to be served and the barenders not only refused to pay any attention to requests, but turned their back upon the plaintiffs. In the meantime many others came in and were served. Further, the plaintiffs called the matter to the attention of the defendant himself and it was his duty to instruct his employees to serve the plaintiffs. He did nothing of the bill but merely directed them back to the bar. The plaintiffs did not specify what particular kind of drink they denied for the reason that they were denied the opportunity to do so. The barbers had plainly refused to serve them or pay any attention to them. The statute is intended to cover and does cover a refusal to serve any patron on account of color AND THE REFUSAL MAY BE INDIRECT AS WELL AS DIRECT "The evidence establishes a clear and international violation of the statute. Judements reversed with $15,000 costs in each case and judgement directed in favor of each of the plaintiffs for the full amount of the penalty with appropriate costs in the court below." UTICA CONFERENCE OPPPOSED TO MIGRATION (Special to The New York Anz.) UTICA, Miss.-The thirteenth annual session of the Utica Institute Farmers' Conference presided over by William H. Holtzclaw, principal of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, was attended by several hundred farmers from the surrounding neighborhoods, many educators, ministers and other professional and business men from the various Mississippi centers. Principal Moltzclaw, in his advice to Negro farmers in the South with reference to migration to northern centers, pointed out that the South was the better place for the Negro. Recognizing the right of any individual to do as he pleased and thought best, Mr. Holtzclaw voiced no quarrel with those of the race who sought to better their conditions by going to the North. "It is humanity's old story told over-individuals trying to better their condition through migration," he said. During his address Prof. Holtzclaw said: "It must be plain to all of you that the South is awakening as never before. Young men all over the South are assuming responsibilities of government and instituting reforms. Crimes are growing less and lynchings are growing less, so much so that we have a right to reason that this serious evil will soon take its place with the barbarities that have gone before it. Where they are at the head of our educational movements, they are often liberal far beyond our expectations. More and more—they are becoming interested in our education, for with the rest of the world the South seems to have been convinced at last that its salvation is inseparable with that of the Negro." The declaration adopted by the conference were just as frank as the address of Principal Holtzclaw. They recounted the progress made by the Negro, congratulated him thereupon, but did not fail in the meantime to point out the need for the development of the resources of the country round about them, the prevention of so much disease, the suppression of crime and the building of home life. Problems of health, community life and farm improvement were considered by the conference. County Superintendent, F. M. Coleman laid major stress upon the importance of agriculture in the life of any people; urged larger, co-operation on the part of the Negro ministers in the large amount of uplift work the Negro teachers were doing in this country, and told just what the county department of education was doing to help the colored people in Hinds county. CHICAGO MAYOR ORDERS HURD APPOINTMENT Grant Hospital, 181 W. 12th St., Chicago, IL 60611. That is the case of Dr. Rossette C. Giner, eligibility for the position of junior physician at the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, Mayor William Hale Thompson has issued peremptory orders that a certificate for the appointment of Dr. Giles be issued Ddr. Giles, who stood at the head of the list of eligibles who had passed the civil service examination, is a young Negro physician, and the executive committee of the consulting staff attempted to prevent his appointment on the score that the white physicians at the sanitarium would neither eat in the same room or sleep in the same dormitory with a colored man. A number of offers made to induce Dr Giles to forego his rights were refused by him. In one case a position which normally only pays $40 per month was offered to him at $100 the amount of salary attached to the junior physicanship. Strong pressure was brought to hear of Alderman Oscar DePriest, the only Negro councilman to cause him to withdraw his support of young Giles but the alderman refused to be influenced. Under the law the appointment must be made before February 1. When the appointment is taken up his duties Mayor Thompson's order was that the certificate of appointment be issued to Dr Giles on Tuesday of this week. TO PLAY BIG PART IN (JACKSON, N. Miss.

The names of deserving children were secured by Mrs Benj T. Witheres and Mrs Elise Gardin Conkle, and these ladies also verified each address Notwithstanding the numerous charitable agencies which were operating for the benefit of the deserving poor during the holiday season, responses to the requests for aid from the Christmas Stocking Association were liberal and numerous. Many of the ladies of the association secured a number of film stockings from friends, and in addition contributed from their own private resources. Several New York firms were extremely generous, sending up to the association large boxes and hammers filled with toys of all sorts and descriptions. Among these firms were IH Hearst, the Coulstreet street, the Wolfe Doll Co., 2S Howard street, the American Doll Co., 61 Wouster street, (Continued on page seven) TEXAS STATE SENATORS PAY TRIBUTE TO NEGRO (Special to THE NEW YORK AGENCY) AUSTIN Texas a national sight was witnessed here Texas State Senators arose from their seats in the church where they were attending the funeral of E.S.

Y. military training camp for civilians, the purpose of the camp was to give men of education four weeks' intensive military training under the direct supervision of officers of the United States Army. The camps inaugurated have been an wonderful success, and have been of great benefit to those who attended them. This year 50,000 men are expected to attend these camps. General Wood has agreed to organize a special camp for colored men, on exactly the same lines, if two hundred will designate their intention to attend. As soon as this number has responded he will designate a site and date for the camp, which will, perhaps, be about the beginning of June. The camp will probably last for four weeks. The transportation to and from the camp and the cost of subsistence while in camp will probably be paid by the Government, and the only expense for a four weeks' holiday, with an officer's training, will be the cost of a uniform, about $8 or $10. Candidates should be between 20 and 45 years of age, with a high school, normal, or college education, or with business or military experience. Military experience is not necessary for those who have had a good education. All interested in this plan are advised to send their names to Dr. J. E. Spingarn, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. Dr Spingarn has attended three of these camps, serving as instructor, with the rank of lieutenant at the last, and is very much interested in the movement to prepare colored men to be officers in use of war.

STRANDED IN COLUMBUS: LURED BY FALSE PROMISE (Since to the New York Age.) Columbus, O. That an employment agent enticed them to Columbus by offering wages of $280 a day and cheap lodging, was the plea of eight Negroes representing 50 others, to the police that Friday. They are from Norfolk Va. and are stranded here, with no work nor place to stay. Fake employment burraca are responsible for many Negroes coming North and especially to Ohio. In order to secure a fee they are deluding many Southern Negroes with false promises of big wages and sure jobs. $197,500 IS GIVEN FOR NEGRO EDUCATION Spelman Appropriated $85,000 and Fisk $50,000 by General Education Board.

NEGRO MIGRATION CONFERENCE STUDIED IMPORTANT PROBLEM Movement of Negro Labor from South to North Is Seriously Considered by Thinkers of Both Races. All Phases of the Question are Discussed by Both Radicals and Conservatives, and Practical Experts Gave the Actual Result So Far Resulting from the Migration of Southern Labor Into Northern Industrial Communities. RESOLUTIONS ON THE NEGRO NORTHWARD MIGRATION OF 1916-17 PASSED AT THE CONFERENCE ON NEGRO MIGRATION HELD UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE ON URBAN CONDITIONS AMONG NEGROES, AT THE RUSSELL SAGE FOUNDATION BUILDING, CORNER 22ND STREET AND LEXINGTON AVENUE, NEW YORK, N. Y., JANUARY 26TH, 1917. Negroes are migrating to the North in unprecedented numbers and are preparing to come in greater numbers in the Spring. They are attracted by the larger wages offered and by the opportunities to enjoy larger personal, political and civil freedom. In some sections of the South, they stand in constant dread of personal violence and are leaving to escape oppression. This Conference of Negro Migration, assembled under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, wishes to go on record as believing: I. That this is the time of all times for Negroes of the South and Whites of the South to arrive at a better understanding of each other and of the value of the two races to each other. II. That the Negroes' industrial opportunities in the North are unusual; that Northern employers are securing and can secure Negro labor, dependable, loyal, constant American labor and that this labor should not be abused or exploited, but should be cared for as well as any other labor. III. That, although thousands of Negroes in excess of the normal migration have left the South since April last, and more are to follow still the great mass of the Negro population of the United States will remain in the Southland. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: I. In the South—That wherever possible, whether in the city or rural community, organizations be formed with the following purposes— (a) To foster good feeling between the two races. (b) To stify the health, school and work needs of the Negro population. (c) To develop agencies and stimulate activities to meet those needs. needs. (d) By training and health protection to increase the efficiency of Negroes and to encourage a fairer attitude toward labor especially in regard to hours, conditions, and standards of work. (e) To increase the efficiency for law and the authority of justice. II. In the North—That similar organizations be formed by organizing organizations urged to take action which, in addition to the provisions already mentioned, shall seek to instruct the Negro migrants (a) As to the dress, habits and methods of living necessary to withstand the rigors of the Northern climate. (b) As to the efficiency, regularity and application demanded of workers in the North. (c) As to the danger of dealing or going with unscrupulous or workers in the North. We are in the danger of dealing or going with unacupulous or vicious persons and of frequenting questionable resorts. (d) As to the opportunities offered by the towns and cities of the North in schools, hospitals, police protection and employment. (e) As to facilities offered by the church, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and other organizations. All schools of thought were represented in the audience that filled the East room of the Russell Sage Foundation Building, 130 East 22d street, on Friday afternoon, January 20, the occasion being the Conference on Negro Migration called by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which has its headquarters at 2303 Seventh Avenue, New York City. From Massachusetts to Michigan, from Pennsylvania to Georgia, the radical and the conservative had come to give earnest thought and consideration to a question that is looming up as one of the weightiest of the day—the migration of Negro labor from the South to the North in response to the call of the industrial and economic needs of the latter section. The first session, at 2 o'clock p.m., was called to order by L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the League, who, after a short address of welcome, entered immediately into the business of the conference by introducing Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, second vice-president of the League, as presiding officer, Mr. Miller, or taking the chair, said: "Our gathering together here this afternoon brings together experts on the held to compare ideas and give advice as to how to make the movement for bettering the condition of the Negro migrants from the South most effective and helpful to not only the migrants themselves, but the communities at large." That the National Urban League had called together probably the greatest experts on migration and immigration to be found in the United States was shown by the fact that on the program were such men of practical experience as Frederic C. Howe, United States Commissioner of Immigration, at Ellis-Island, N. Y., the clearing House for all European immigrants who come to the New York port; Mr. Dougherty, employment agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., and E. J. Triay, Jr., employment manager of the Erie Railroad Co., two of the largest transportation companies in America, and the two companies which have probably brought more Negro laborers to the North than all other agencies combined; representatives of associations of Philadelphia which have had the actual handling of southern labor and of New Jersey and Connecticut companies, large employers of Negro labor; with men from various southern states who have been actively engaged in the work of directing and assisting many of the men who came North. Migration After the War. Immigration Commissioner. Howe was the first speaker of the afternoon having as his subject "Migration After the War." He said in quart: great problem. Before the war over a million immigrants were coming from Europe to this country each year. The war has checked this flood so that for the past two years only IS RELIABLE WHEN YOU NEED IT.

Before the war over a million emigrants were coming from Europe to this country each year. The war has checked this flood so that for the past two years only enough have come to balance those who have left. As a result there has been a great shortage of labor in many of our industrial sections that may last as long as the war does. The end of the Great War will find America facing a flood of immigration workers, refugees and defectives. I expect heavy immigration not from Germany and France, but from Central Europe because of the great devastation it has suffered. Industrial conditions abroad at this time are bad, poverty and desituation will reign consequently, and "The Land of the Blessed" will naturally be looked forward to. To meet this situation will require the wisest resources of statesmanship. Industrial School, Denmark, S. C., and Miss Mary E. Jackson, representing the Mayor and citizens of Providence, R. L. Announcements concerning the evening sessions were made by Executive Secretary E. K. Jones and President L. Hollingsworth Wood. Murphy Represented the Mayor. The evening session, at 8:15 o'clock, was presided over by L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the League. The first speaker of the evening was John J. Murphy, Tenement House Commissioner, who was also deputized by Mayor Mitchel as his personal representative. The Mayor had been called to attend.

I believe that many will go from this country back to Europe as soon as the war is over for various reasons. Some will go for curiosity; others will go to see solitaries; others will go because of the belief that land will be cheap in rope and they will be able to buy property. "So I believe that this country will experience a large going-out and coming-in of persons of foreign birth. The flow of the tide will depend upon the economic conditions of the settlers." Following Commissioner Howe, Mr. Dougherty, employment agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was introduced to tell of the "Experience of the Pennsylvania Railroad" Mr. Dougherty's remarks implied that he had had experience with a number of undesirable men who took advantage of the free transportation offered by his road to get to the North, after which they would seek other employment. The men who remained, however, gave satisfactory service. Prof. George E. Haynes, executive secretary of the National Urban League, with headquarters at Nashville, Tenn., had as his subject "Points from which Negroes are Migrating and the Resulting Complications." He said it had been impossible to secure reliable data as to how many Negroes had left the South to come North, but that large numbers had come from Alabama, Florida, Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee. It was interesting to note, he said, that the smallest numbers came from the sections where the Negroes were large property owners. Brio Road's Experience. One of the most interesting addresses of the afternoon was that by E. J. Triay, Jr., employment manager of the Erie Railroad, who spoke on the "Attitude of the Employer," representing Mr. Lincoln, general manager of that road. In part, he said: The Erie Railroad has employed a large, number of the Negro migrants and we are in need of more because of the abnormal labor conditions in this part of the country. It is altogether unfair that the Southern states should enforce laws prohibiting the moving of labor from their borders when there are railroads all over this country that would pay good wages to these laborers. I know that one railroad company last year, which never had a colored man in its services, was offering large wages, spurring every place for a white man; same time the same place has a surplus of white people not permit it. I actually exist and I know it. If I am interested in this thing not alone from the personal side of it, but due to the fact of my association with the Erie Railroad, I can tell you about many laws in the South especially affecting this labor question, because I have looked into the conditions which exist. "I firmly believe that the best thing this Urban League can do, in my judgment, is to pass resolutions demanding the United States Emigration Bureau to place unoccupied men of other parts of the country where labor is needed. I intend to fight it further in so far as my humble efforts will go toward making the Government representatives take some action in the question. If they do it it will mean freedom to the colored man in moving to such points as he wishes. If they don't of course what the result will be is a subsequent proposition to be decided. "We who have employed colored men from the South have found the majority good-workers; a few have been like any other race or any other men, stiffness and ready to "jump their hoof" but the majority are otherwise." Among other interesting addresses during the afternoon was one by Mr Jackson, representing the Lukens Iron Works, Cortesville, Pa., who said that his company was taking great interest in the welfare of the colored men in its employ; that their interest was looked-after in every way; they were afforded comfortable quarters and food and were required to observe sanitary regulations; liquor drinking and gambling are prohibited. Mr. Jackson, who is the chief of police for the works, said that religious services were held for the men every Sunday evening, at which time he (Jackson) preached to them; the singing of the men, he declared to be the most wonderful he had ever heard. Wide Range of Subjects. John T. Emlen, representative of the Armstrong Association, Philadelphia, spoke on "Recent Migration of Negroes to Pennsylvania and New Jersey and the status of these in their new environment," and A. L. Manley, industrial secretary of the Armstrong Association, spoke on the "Attitude of Labor Union towards Negro Migration." C. T. Erwine, of the Virginia Negro Organization Society, took as his subject, "Constructive Suggestions for Adjusting the Negroes to their New Environment," and Forrester B. Washington; secretary of the Detroit branch of the National Urban League, gave under the subject of "Suggested Programs of Local Work," an interesting account of the plans pursued in establishing the work under his charge. In a general discussion, remarks were made by Miss Helen B. Pendleton, assistant secretary - Associated Charities, Newark; Mrs. S. W Layton, secretary, Philadelphia Association for the Protection of Colored Women; Dr. Smith, representing the Philadelphia Conference; A. H. Aunt, principal Fort Valley Industrial School, Fort Valley, Ga.; J. O. Thomas, principal Voorhees Industrial School, Denmark, S. C., and Miss Mary E. Jackson, representing the Mayor and citizens of Providence, R. I. Acknowements concerning the evening sessions were made by Executive Secretary E. K. Jones and President L. Hollingerwood Wood. Murphy Represented the Mayor. The evening session, at 8:15 o'clock, was presided over by L. Hollowsworth Wood, president of the League. The first speaker of the evening was John J. Murphy. Tenement House Commissioner, who was also deputized by Mayor Mitchel as his personal representative. The Mayor had been called to Washington on official business and could not be present. Mr. Murphy, in speaking for the Mayor, declared that the City of New York would help to realize any practical suggestion which might result from this meeting, especially as it related to housing conditions at the Negroes of the city. Then, speaking for himself as head of the tenement House Department, he "As you know the Tenement House Department exercises control over what are called tenement houses—that is all kinds of multiple dwellings of high and low degree; of cheap rents and high rents in the city of New York; and therefore I suppose that the Department does supervise, or tries to supervise, the housing conditions of almost all of the colored people living in the city of New York. And so backing up the work of that department I have been brought into contact with many difficulties which the colored people face in getting proper housing that other people do not meet. "In making a general investigation some weeks ago, I found that there was much more evidence of increasing rent in the city of New York than in any other section. "I don't know what program this association might be considering. It is the essential and fundamental thing that food, clothing and shelter are the fundamental needs of humanity, and if the standards of housing are not kept up, it almost inevitably follows that the condition of the people who live in those houses has a tendency to retrograde. The city of New York organized this 15 or 16 years ago when it said 'We will not have people living in the city of New York in houses below a certain standard'. The Tenement House Department of course was held upon a very secure and broad basis, but it doesn't meet the problem confronting the colored people of the city. There is no way that the city government can intervene for any special group, therefore the solution of this problem must be very largely the work of associations like yours and of broad-minded citizens. All that we can say to you is whatever assistance can be given to your program officially—this assistance you can confidently count upon the administration of the city of New York to help you achieve." Editor Vilard's Position. After some remarks by Chairman Wood, on result of efforts in Chicago and New York to secure better housing facilities, William H. Baldwin, 3rd, secretary of the National Urban League, spoke on "The Attitude of the Press," in place of Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, and treasurer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Later in the evening Mr. Villard came in, and was called on to speak. Mr. Villard spoke of the change of southern sentiment brought about by Negro migration, referring especially to editorials by Clark Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution. He took occasion to criticise the resolutions adopted at the recent Tuskegee Conference concerning Negro migration, although he said he realized "that the great opportunity for the colored people lies in those great stretches of rural fields in the South." Said Mr. Villard in part: "It seems to me a very wonderful thing and a most encouraging and hopeful." Our trial is beginning. I am one of those who look upon it as an effort. I realize that the great opportunity for the colored people lies in those great stretches of rural fields in the South, but this awakening of the South to the fact that the underpinnings are falling away is one of the best things that could have happened. My only regret about it is that it is not more of an organized movement; that there are not leaders directing it. There is a tremendous opportunity at the present time. I realize bringing thousands of workers into the North is going to intensify the race problem here in the North. But, ladies and gentlemen, we have got to fight it out in the North just as in the South. We might just as well realize that we have got to fight it out and we don't feel that it is going to be a drag upon us. Soon the conscience of American people will be aroused to grapple with justice and fair play. I dissent radically upon the resolutions passed at Tuskegee where they solemnly advised colored people not to come North—resolutions that must have been very satisfying reading to every southern white person. I am a disturber of traffic when it comes to those things; that Dr. Frissell knows. I don't wish for a moment to seem to reflect upon the motives and intentions of the group (referring to Tuskegee and Hampton). At the same time, I have to put in my dissent now and then. I want to see more colored people come out of the South. It is a wonderful industrial and moral opportunity. Dr Hollis B. Frissell, principal of For Painataking, High Grade Hairdressing, Visit MME.

Hampton Institute, was introduced to speak on "The Negro's industrial Opportunity." Dr. Frissell paid a tribute to the work of the southern white men on the General Educational Board who are working for the Negro in eight southern states, but who are handicapped to some extent by the prejudices of the people of the southern communities. Referring to the saying by Booker Washington that the Negro came to this country by special invitation Dr. Frissell said it was the duty of the "American white people to look after his welfare Commissioners from Italy, Japan and other countries come occasionally to look after their people, but no one ever comes from the Dark Continent to look after the Negro He said that there was great value in the migration of certain elements of the race to the North, in that they gain certain ideas and financial opportunities and carry them back, just as Europeans have done, and as a consequence all through the years the colored people of the North have helped the colored people of the South. This special movement, said Dr. Frissell, is of very great value because it brings the South to know the economic value of the colored man. The southerners have not realized the opportunities that were theirs in the having of this helpful body of people among them. But now that they are losing some of them they are beginning to understand their value and to have a better appreciation of their needs in the matter of education and all that belongs to a better life. Continuing, Dr. Frissell then said: While this is true I do believe that the best course for the great mass of the colored people is in the South. There are great masses of land which need to be cultivated and which the colored man can cultivate better than any other man. To my mind, after long years of work with the colored race, I feel that the very best educational institute is the small home in the country where there comes into the lives the co-operative between the members of the family that is necessary and where they gain certain ideas which can only come through the struggle to gain that little piece of land. I realize every day the educational value of the small farm in the South. Lyman Abbott has said again and again. No race in 50 years has made the progress the colored people have. They have made special progress in training land. Whatever we may say or feel in regard to the value of this movement, I hope we shall all appreciate the tremendous strides that are being made by the colored people of the South towards better things and that their success is the success of all of us. There they have not come into competition with the foreigners who flock to our northern cities and who struggle one against the other, making life a most difficult one for every sort of people. These people have not been exposed to this struggle and do not come into it with the same advantage. Then again, it is true also that their movement in the South is slow. The colored man has and will have for many years to come a better chance in the South than he will have in the North." Why The Pennsylvania R. R. Failed. J. H. Butler, representing the National Urban League at Savannah, Ga., and also the associate editor and manager of the Savannah Tribune, told some of the reasons why the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. had not had success with their importation of Negro labor. Said he: "They brought a train into Savannah, sent out a few criers and took all of the driftwood from Savannah. The men were packed like sardines into the coaches. They knew not where or why they were going or what wages they were to receive. On the other hand, the Erie Railroad has gone about the matter in a different way. They made promises and stuck to them and the men have stuck to the Erie Railroad. Mr Butler said that the indirations pointed to a large migration movement in the spring. Deputy Police Commissioner Lawrence B Dunham, speaking on "The Attitude of the Police," declared that although there were 65,000 Negroes in Sixth Inspection District, the Police Department has never considered it has a Negro problem. This is in contrast, said he, to the foreign population, there being newspapers published in thirty-four languages' and dialects in New York City. There are a number of colored men in the department, said the Commissioner, and they have made splendid records. Those of them that have gone on with their work have found that the present administration has been a help to them MME. C. J.

Wright, Jr., editor Christian Recorder, Philadelphia; Dr. George E. Haynes, executive secretary of the National Urban League; D. W. H. Moses, of Philadelphia, representing President Morris, of the National Baptist Convention, D. R. Lewis, representing the Pittsburgh Council for Social Service, and John L. Luddy, employment agent of the Tobacco Growers' Association of Connecticut, who spoke of the satisfactory service received from Negro students during the summer of 1916 in the tobacco fields of Connecticut. He said the association wanted more workers the coming summer and wanted more of the men to remain through the winter. Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, in charge of the New York headquarters, spoke on "How Local Organizations May be Formed to Meet the Needs," and presented the set of resolutions which are printed in another column on the "Negro Northward Migration of 1916-17." Considerable discussion was precipitated at this juncture, there being an effort made by Counselor Butler, R. Wilson, of the Boston branch of the N. A. A. C. P. to have incorporated into the resolutions an amendment which read as follows: "That Negroes be encouraged to leave the South until the South shall accord them their political rights; shall enforce the law; protect them against mob violence; open to them school advantages and protect their women and children against intolerable persecution." In the discussion which followed, many of the delegates and visitors took part. Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the N A A. C. P., offered an amendment to take the place of the Wilson amendment, but Mr. Wilson refused to accept it. But the conservatives of the conference would not agree to the radical measures proposed by Mr. Wilson and the amendment was lost, by a vote of 49 to 34. The original set of resolutions, as proposed by Mr. Jones, was then adopted, the motion to adopt having been made by Kelly Miller of Howard University. RALEIGH, N. C. RALEIGH, N. C.-James W. Johnson, contributing editor of TUE New York AGR and field secretary of the N. A. A. C. p arrived in the city last Wednesday evening.

Printed notices of the meeting were circulated on Thursday evening after 2 o'clock: At 8 o'clock nearly one hundred prominent citizens were in the hall for the purpose of hearing Mr. Johnson speak. Mr. Johnson very clearly explained the object of his visit to our city and recommended that we organize a branch association, which was done by electing Dr. L. E. McConchley, president; Rev. Jas. K. Satterwhite, vicepresident; T. L. McCoy, secretary; Rev. R. W. Pegus, treasurer. The executive board and other committees will be named at a subsequent meeting. Forty-five citizens made application to join the association, whereupon the secretary was instructed to apply for a charter. Mr. Johnson, in a calm; but forcible talk, lasting nearly one hour, told his audience the origin and purpose of this national association; what it has accomplished and what it hopes to accomplish for the advancement of the colored people of America. When he had finished his talk, he invited expressions from individuals as to impression of the work and aims of this organization. Whereupon a number of those present responded in words of praise and assurances that their influence and money will be freely given in support of the work of this association. Among those present were Col. and Mrs. James II Young. Dr. L. McConley, Rev J. W Ligon Profs C. H. Bayer, R. B. Jefferson, W H Lynch, Dr. M. T. Pone, N L. Jefferson, Mr and Mrs, T. L.

During the evening session of the Conference on Negro Migration, held last Friday in the Russell Sage Foundation Building, and participated in by members of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Oswald Garrison Villard of the New York Evening Post, while speaking in favor of inviting Negroes to come northward by the thousands, made the following statement: "I dissent radically upon the resolutions passed at Tuskegee, where they solemnly advised colored people to come North, resolutions that must have been very satisfying reading to every southern white person." We have read closely the resolutions adopted by the Tuskegee Conference but fail to find any declaration "solemnly advising colored people not to come North," and we fear that Mr. Villard has wrongly interpreted the resolutions coming from the Twenty-sixth Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference. "What the conference said. "We recognize and appreciate the opportunities offered in the North to our people and the necessity which is compelling them to go there. Right here in the South, however, are great and permanent opportunities for the MASSES of our people." Would Mr. Villard have the hundreds of prosperous Negro farmers from the different Southern States and the leading Negroes of thought of that section issue a statement advising all the colored people of the South to come North? Does he really think millions of Negroes would heed such advice, if given? If, as Mr. Villard says, southern whites, after perusing the declarations of the Tuskegee Conference, which set forth that Negroes must be accorded better opportunities to make money, better treatment for themselves and children and better protection under the law if they are to remain in the South, proved "satisfying reading," then the conference has performed a great service for both races of that section. For it is more to the advantage of the southern Negro-to win the friendship of his white neighbor than please those who live in the North. THE AGE, like Mr. Villard, believes Negro migration should be encouraged; that Negro labor should be brought North to take advantage of the new industrial opportunities being opened for him. Let them come by the thousands if better work and higher wages can be provided. We believe the Negro in the South occupies at this time a strategic position which he should advantageously use to become an independent economic factor. Keeping him economically dependent has been most hurtful to the South, to himself and to the Caucasian. Such are our views on Negro migration. However, we are able to look at the question from more than one point of view. We do not want to see the masses of the race come North, and we appreciate the position taken by southern colored men living miles from New York, and Boston. It is unfortunate that the old question of VIEWS and REVIEWS The leading article in Collier's Weekly for January 27 is a long article by Julian Street on the Negro. Mr. Street says some good things but more than spoils it all by some other things which he says. Nevertheless, the article is one that colored people should read. Mr. Street, who is making a tour of the South, writes his impressions and opinions of the Negro and his problems from what he observed in and about Atlanta. In beginning he states that it was his original idea to "discuss the Negro only as a picturesque black curtain hanging behind the life of the white South," but he became interested and plunged into the problem and its solution. We think Mr. Street would have done better had he stuck to his original idea. When he is treating the picturesque side of Negro life, Mr. Street is a first rate artist; when he touches upon the destiny of the Negro, he is an amateur sociologist and a bungling philosopher. Mr. Street is at home when he is giving his impressions of the Negroes of the Atlanta slums, of "Possom, Dick," of Aunt Sophie and of the singing cotton field hands of Georgia. He devotes a great deal of space to them, and the article is profusely illustrated with such characters. But he is awkward and brief when he touches upon the colored colleges of Atlanta, the home of Alonzo F. Herndon and the great Negro business block in that city. A photograph or two of one of these colleges or Mr. Herndon's home or the business block and a thoughtful interpretation of what they signified would have produced a better balanced effect in such an article as he attempted to write. Mr. Street is artist enough to catch the comedy of Negro life but he is not a great enough artist to comprehend and feel its tragedy. But we do not quarrel with Mr. Street as an artist; there is a phase of Negro life which is an inviting and legitimate field for the light artist. It is when he takes the role of sociologist and philosopher that we quarrel with him. For instance, he sums up his conclusions on the whole subject in partly these words: "Let the Negro firebrand learn the common Negro virtue of great patience; let him cease to worry about rights, and think always about duty and destiny, and after a while the rights will come." We ask, why is it a virtue only in the Negro to be meek and humble and long-suffering, while in other men manliness, aspiration and a dignified assertion of their just rights is the thing to be desired and commended? Why should the Negro be exhorted to cease worrying about his rights and think only of his duties, while other men are urged to think of both? This is simply the doctrine that oppressors have preached to the oppressed since the world began. Of course, people who are wronging others do not want to have their consciences disturbed. There are some conditions which we have got to bear a good while longer; that is something that every thinking Negro, even the "firebrand," knows; but there is no reason that he should pretend to enjoy these conditions; an attitude like that will not make them pass away any sooner. Every thinking Negro-also knows that it is pure rot to say if men forget their rights that after a while the rights will come. Rights do not come in that way. Every submerged class that has ever gained its rights has had to stubbornly fight for each one. And even when a right is gained it has to be constantly guarded to be kept. These are the lessons of history that not even a fool can fail to learn. Does any one imagine if the women stop agitating and go back to the kitchen and remain there, that the men some day will say "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, here is the right to vote"? Not much. It is natural and right and one of the most hopeful things about the Negro that he is impatient over the wrongs committed against him. We are taught that God himself is impatient of wrong and wrongdoers. If before the Negro attains his just rights the day ever comes when there is not a single "firebrand" to denounce the wrongs and demand the rights of the race, the race is then already doomed. THE PRESIDENT'S WORLD PEACE PLAN. President Wilson as a maker and breaker of precedents has been surpassed only by Theodore Roosevelt. His appearance before the Senate last week to set forth his ideas about securing world peace is a point in instance. Not only was his appearance in person before the Senate to address that body a departure from what has been custom since the early days of the Republic, but what he said was a recommendation for the complete reversal of what has always been the foreign policy of the United States. Since the time of Washington it has been the fixed policy of this country to steer clear of all entangling alliances with European powers; President Wilson proposes that the United States join with the nations of Europe in forming a league to enforce peace. We expressed our opinion on the practicability of such a plan several weeks ago in an article entitled "A Nation of Nations." But even if the plan were practicable, would it be desireable; would it be wise for the United States to enter such an alliance? If this country pledges its army and navy to such an alliance, the decision as to when and where those forces shall be cism at this time is very much out of place. THE AGE asks Mr. Villard what good would have been accomplished had the Tuskegee Conference come out in its declarations advising the masses of the race to leave the South? ever, its editor is possessed of some good common sense as is made apparent by the following pithy editorial: THE NEW YORK AGE saw reasons to commend Mayor Mitchel of New York for the appointment of Dr. Roberts as one of the school commissioners of that great city, while CAUSE AND EFFECT. Perhaps the Commonwealth, published in Baltimore, is not very widely known outside of its home town for its volume number shows it to be young in the cause. How- THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1917. ever, its editor is possessed of some good common sense as is made apparent by the following pithy editorial: THE NEW YORK ACE saw reasons to commend Mayor Mitchel of New York for the appointment of Dr. Roberts as one of the school commissioners of that great city, while the Amsterdam News of the same city has discovered reasons to suspect the sincerity of the Mayor's motive, and in an editorial calls him to account. Grand that his motive was political. What is the difference so the race receives the benefit used will be in the hands of the jealous European nations, and so Americans might some day find themselves fighting in Europe over some dispute in the Balkans. On the other hand, such an alliance might result in the use of a united European force against the United States. We do not know where President Wilson gets the idea that if the United States enters such an alliance as he outlines, human nature will be changed and all the jealousies between the nations of Europe immediately die out. It is more reasonable to believe that the only change would be that when the next European war broke out, the United States would be obligated to take part in it. But what strikes us as most absurd in this most recent performance of President Wilson is to hear him talk of using the power and authority of the United States to compel world peace, when with that power and authority at his unlimited disposal he has failed and miserably failed to secure Mexican peace. Chief City Magistrate William McAdoo talked before the Bible class of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church a few Sundays ago, and gave the young men a lecture on happiness in married life. In the course of his remarks he laid down the following dictum: "Love should be the only basis for marriage. It is the one foundation for lasting happiness. The happy marriage is founded on love and nothing else." Judge McAdoo is himself a married man and, besides, is a man of wide experience. His position as a city magistrate has given him exceptional opportunity to study the question on which he spoke; yet, it is not true that what he said is based more upon sentiment than upon actual fact? Do facts and actual-experience prove that love should be the only basis for marriage; that it is the one foundation for lasting happiness; that the happy marriage is founded on love and nothing else? We do not think they do. The truth is, it takes more than love to insure a marriage of lasting happiness. It also takes mutual respect and some degree of similarity in tastes. Married people should be able to be comrades, friends, good pals, as well as lovers. This comradeship; this friendship does not necessarily go along with love; in fact, opposite sentiments often crop out. No doubt everyone knows among his acquaintances some married couple who love each other desperately but who fight like cats and dogs. It may not be an exaggeration to say that as many unhappy and brief unions have resulted from love being the only foundation for marriage as from any other cause. Just love and the ability of a man and a woman to live together harmoniously for a lifetime are not identical. It takes love plus some other things. It is also a mistake to think of love as a tough and sturdy sentiment that can withstand all sorts of shocks and any kind of treatment. Love is the most delicate and sensitive of sentiments. Sometimes a slight shock will leave it cold or dead. It needs to be constantly nourished and tended. Many a man thinks that when he has succeeded in winning a woman's heart and hand that it is all complete; that she is bound thereafter to love, honor and obey him for the rest of his natural life, regardless of what subsequent impressions he might make upon her. The fact is, his real wooing begins with marriage. The same, of course, applies to the woman. We have said that love is the most delicate and sensitive of sentiments, and that a slight shock will sometimes leave it cold or dead. This is not in accord with the cheap romantic view; but it is the truth. And for that reason married people need to be careful about the little things, the what might be called insignificant things. Before marrige these insignificant things may be overlooked or they may pass unnoticed, but repeated day in and day out in married life, they become intolerable. Many a woman has begun to dislike her husband when she realized that he had abominal table manners. Now, some folks will hold that love which can be chilled by a slight thing is not the highest form of love. They may point to the woman who doggedly loves the husband who cruelly beats her. We can only say that this latter is not the highest form of love, but the lowest. Some will claim that real love embraces mutual respect and similarity of tastes and the ability to be comrades, friends and pals; we think that is a mere stretching of the term. No marriage can be happy without love, but love alone is no absolute guarantee of a happy marriage. An enduringly happy marriage demands love plus the other things we have tried to point out. editorial. "Grant that his motive was political. What is the difference so the race receives the benefit?" In these last two sentences the Commonwealth has said something worthy of analysis. THE AGE is not particularly holding up its contemporary to criticism, for the inclination to bicker over less consequential issues to the exclusion of important ones seems to be a deeply-rooted racial trait. Our people are wont to give more consideration to cause than to effect. The result is the principal thing desired, but many of us are addicted to the habit of discounting the result, so prone are we to worry about the whys and wherefore. What does it matter whether you accomplish your purpose by walking around the block or making a short cut, and what do you care whether Mr. Jones personally likes you or not so long as he grants the favor sought? If Mayor-Mitchell has played politics in naming a colored man a member of the Board of Education, the Negroes of Greater New York ought to rejoice over the fact that they are now seriously regarded as a political factor, for they have not commanded that much respect in the past. Usually our views on right and wrong are predicated on our personal likes and dislikes. An appointment or election to office is satisfactory to us if we regard the appointee a "good fellow" or if we have put in a good word on his behalf. It is not the general rule that we put fitness and character above our personal likes and dislikes, and it is seldom that those directly concerned manifest the unselfish spirit exhibited by the Commonwealth and enthuse because the race receives the benefit. The elevation of a Negro to a position of honor and trust means one step forward in race advancement and colored people North, East, South and West are inspired to keep on fighting for race recognition. The general effect is most salutary. The Jewish citizens of the United States did not accuse President Wilson of playing politics when he appointed one of their number to the United States Supreme Court. They were more deeply interested in seeing a Jew a member of the highest tribunal in the land. Mr. Wilson's motives were not questioned. They were immaterial. And so it must be with the Negro. He must strive to get results and cease quibbling over underlying motives. WAGE-EARNING WOMEN FIND OPPOSITION. The organization of the Women's Wage-Earning Association, Washington, has created a situation in which the daily newspapers have played the usual "dog in the manger" policy of creating disturbance between blacks and whites not written in the books. The daily newspapers of Washington have been most generous in advertising the purposes of the women in organizing to better their condition and to create more cordial relations between employees and employers. The Daily Times allowed a report to get abroad that our women were organizing for the purpose of giving housewives trouble, by making unusual demands, with threats of a general strike if their demands were not complied with, and this report has created a condition of unrest among those in white circles who employ colored help that has worked against the organization in one way and in favor of it in many other ways. In every situation misinformation is the father of all sorts of misunderstandings, and this is more common between white and colored people than between other sorts of people. Why is it? The. Wage-Earner's Association is only four weeks old, and yet the impression has got abroad that their main purpose is to turn the domestic situation upside down and give their employers all the trouble possible, when the reverse is the policy to be pursued. It is to be regretted that this impression has, for the moment, intimidated many who should give aid and encouragement to the work to the association. The primary purpose of the association is to bring about more cordial relations between employers and employees. Why is it that white people fear so much the organization of colored people in anything? On the other hand, why are Negroes afraid to organize to protect their interests in anything? These be two interesting questions. WHAT THE PEOPLE: SAY Cannot Do Without The Age To the Editor of THE AGE; I am glad you did not stop the paper for I feel that I cannot do without it.

To the Editor of THE AGE: I notice in your editorial of the issue of THE AGE of January 18, under the heading "Washington Lawyers Organized," that you used this expression: "Just why colored lawyers have not a National Bar Association of their own, as it has been shown them plainly, bluntly and brutally, by the American Bar Association that they are not wanted in that organization on account of race, color and previous condition of servitude, cannot be explained by the law of demand, etc." I think this editorial is uncalled for, unkind and does the National Negro Bar Association a grave injustice. This organization has been in full force and operation for the past five years, having been organized as an auxiliary to the National Negro Business League in the City of Little Rock, Ark., in 1912, and since which time it has held regular sessions during the annual sittings of the Business League, and I think it has accomplished much the late Hon. Josiah T. Sette, Memphis, Tenn., was its first president and held this position for two years its next president was the Hon. W. H.

Theresa Harper, who has been in the Boardman family since she was born, sixty-four years ago,' after receiving the first prize of $10. She was brought down town in an automobile to receive her prize and said it was the first time in forty years that she had been south of M street. Regina Taylor, who claims to be the daughter of an African princess and a Nubian nobleman, and who sang a song in Spanish, has been in the service of Mrs. J. M. Macais for fifty-two years. Robert Allen has been in the Galt residence sixty-two years. Other prizes were awarded to Betty Upshun, Lucy Smallwood and Mava Butler. There was nothing in the published list of these "old and faithful servants" to indicate whether they had ever been married, Mrs. J. Edison Briggs, chairman of the home economics committee of the Federation, presided and the presentations were made by Mrs. John D. Patten. The organization of the Colored Women's Wage-Earners' Association has created quite a stir among householders, who have been diligent in seeking information from the officers and daily newspapers. They seem to fear that the association will add to instead of take from the troubles of the domestic service problem. Everybody has been assured that co-operation and helpfulness with employers is desired rather than friction and hindrance. Mrs. Adide Wormley Cardozo has been granted a patent, No. 1,185,175, for her invention of a toy playground. The invention is an ingenious device by which the parts are so assembled as to construct a playground that is disposable and remountable, so that all various devices in the room envelops of a complete playground will appear in place in toy size, including games, and box, swings and the like, all surrounded by a fence. Mrs. Cardozo is the granddaughter of the late James Wormley, of hotel fame, and she was once a teacher in one of the public schools here. H. A. Shaw of Chicago has also been granted a patent, No. I.175,478, for his invention of a trunk, which is in the nature of a wardrobe, provision being made for so disposing the contents as to prevent crumpling. Henry E. Baker, of the United States Patent Office, has been asked by the authorities of the State of Mississippi to prepare for the Negro Department of the Mississippi Centennial Exposition, to be held at Gulfport, Miss., next fall, commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the State, an exhibit of the patents granted to Negro inventors throughout the United States, and to attend the exposition and install the exhibit and remain to explain it to visitors, just as he did in New York in 1913, and in Chicago in 1915. Gulfport is a thriving little city situated on the southern line of the State, bordering on the Gulf of Mexico, and located half way between Mobile and New Orleans. The very large number of people who heard Mrs. Matilda Dunbar tell the story of her son's struggles to break into the ranks of the immortals at Lincoln Memorial Church Tuesday night of last week, were charmed and surprised by the simplicity, naturalness wun and mimic ability she exhibited, and had it revealed to them "where Paul Laurence Dunbar got it." A good manager could make a fortune for himself and Mrs. Dunbar by starring her recital into a lecture and putting her on "the circuit." She has a way all her own on the platform and easily catches and holds the attention of her audience. And the way she tells the story of her son's life would be an inspiring to all the aspiring young people in the land who might hear it. We have so many cheap things we pay for that teach us nothing, that it is much the little that would teach us much the anand for and is waster. Some day we will have lecture courses of our own, whom we shall be glad and willing to pay for the inspiration our own men and women can give by telling us what they know about the men and women who have made our lives illustrious—the philosophy of truth that confounds the philosophy of falsehood. --- A very large gathering of members of the Waiters' Union, No. 726, greeted Judge Robert H. Terrell Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at True Reformers' Hall, when he addressed them inspiringly on "Efficiency of Service." He said he had been a waiter himself from the age of 12 to the age of 22, and that he had been enabled to secure an education by such work, and, had a weakness, for those engaged in it, who should prize it and make the most of it so that they could keep it. He also said that some of the most successful we have had got their education in the schools by their earnings in the hotel and Pullman Palace Car Company service. Mr. Fortune also spoke briefly along the same line. Most of the members of the union read The Ack and appreciate the agitation we are making for more efficient organization of our wage-earners. A delegation of the Waiters' Union visited the Woman's Wage-Earners' Union at the Columbia Academy at 5 o'clock Sunday. Leo A. Rover, attorney for the local Federation of Labor, made an eloquent and inspiring address to the women on the potentiality of organization and the conquering power of efficiency in any sort of service. President Jeanneette Carter appointed Miss Nellie M. Quander, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and D. Julia P. H. Coleman a committee to report on the time and place of a mass meeting of women wage-earners of the District of Columbia. A committee was also appointed to frame a constitution for the government of the association. The sudden death of James H. Hayes, Sunday afternoon last, after a short illness, saddened the hearts of a host of friends here and elsewhere throughout the country. Mr. Hayes was a splendid idiot, but he was saturated with love of race, and could not get far away from the thing nearest his heart. He was a lawyer, and a good one, but of late years had not been in active practice. He was associated with the St. Luke's work at Richmond, of which Mrs. Maggie L. Walker is the directing genius, in a legal and literary way, and editorial writer for the Washington Eagle. He was a genial personality, a lovable man. --- Miss Nannie H.

McGill, a young and progressive lawyer of Florida, was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court upon motion of Melendez King of the District bar. Rufus B. Tobey of Boston, who had fostered McGill's education in the Boston University Law School, came to Washington to be present on the occasion. Mr. Justice Bradies of the court invited Mr. McGill, Mr. Tobey and Mr. King to his chambers when the court adjourned for the purpose of offering his personal congratulations and to wish the newly-admitted member success. Mr. McGill is preparing to bring up several cases from the State of Florida, testing the constitutionality of certain laws requiring people to Crow cars, the franchise, etc. Attorney King will be associated in these cases and a great legal battle is expected. ```markdown ``` One of the special musical treats on the opening and dedication night at the Dunbar High School was furnished by Washington's favorite baritone soloist, Dr. C.

Moore of THE New York Ace was an honored guest of Selmah Tuesday, January 23. He was met at the incoming western train from Montgomery, Tuesday morning at 9:45 o'clock, by a committee and conveyed in auto to the residence of I. C. Collins. Later he escorted to various schools of the city, where he was very courteously received. He spoke to large numbers of students during the forenoon, who, along with the principals and faculties, showed that they greatly enjoyed his wise and instructive messages. The morning itinerary included visits to Clark City School, Selma University, Payne University and Knox Academy. Perhaps no social affair given in Selma (the Central City of Alabama) was fraught with more interest on the part of its citizenship. The men and women, gathered at the spacious, attractive and well-arranged mansion of Mr. and Mrs. I. C. Collins, 1431 St. Phillip street, where a formal reception and banquet was spread in honor of Mr. Moore at 7:30, by a committee of arrangements made up of the following persons: J. M. Gee, A. D. Evans, D. W. Watson, B. L. Halley, Dr. W. H. Mixon, Dr. S. H. Sullivan, Wm. Johnson and J. C. Chandler. The menu comprised five or six courses. The tables were encircled by appropriate dining decorations. This repast was prepared by the trained hands of the hostess, who was assisted by Mrs. Mattie Coshy, a neighbor, and Isaac C. Collins, Jr. After the banquet, Editor Moore, accompanied by Col. J. M. Gee, I. C. Collins, Sr., and B. L. Halley, entered the latter's automobile and repaired to Brown Chapel, A. M. E.

Gee was chairman, entered the church in company with Mr. Moore, followed by the full committee, where all were seated on the rostrum. Service begun when Mr. Gee, the master of ceremonies, requested the choir to sing an appropriate song, and Dr. Mixon prayed. The master of ceremonies presented Dr. S. H. Sullivan to the audience, and he introduced Mr. Moore, who spoke fully an hour and a half. On motion of Dr. J. A. Martin, pastor of Green Street Baptist Church, the meeting voted endorsement of the speech as fully expressing its sentiments. The committee makes the following complimentary references: To Dr. P. W. Wall, the pastor of Brown Chapel, who volunteered use of his church and his efficient choir for rendition of music during service, and to those liberal hearted citizens who contributed to the success attained in working up the banquet and the citizens' meeting. Benediction was pronounced by Dr. D. M. Coleman. HOWARD ORPHANAGE HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING Dr. Hollis B. Brissell, principal of Hampton Institute, was the principal speaker at the annual meeting of the Howard Orphanage and Industrial School, held at Concord Baptist church, Brooklyn, last Friday evening. Dr. Brissell addressed the meeting on the subject of the value of such work as the Howard Orphanage is doing for the children of our cities, and all over the country and spoke in an inspiring way of the progress made by the race in the last fifty years and of the glory of Negro music, the only real contribution to American music. The treasurer's report showed that for the same months ending June 30, $46,000 had been expended, and an appeal was made for funds to meet the growing expenses of the institution. Mrs. Gordon, superintendent, presented her report, which was well received and L. Hollingsworth Wood, who presided, paid a tribute to Mrs. Gordon's work as head of the institution. There was an exhibit of work by the children of the orphanage—pies, cakes, bread and biscuits, cream puffs and other dainties from the domestic science class; aprons, dresses and embroideries from the needles of the girls, and hammerhead, pokers and audients from the blacksmith's class, and screened cupboards, tables and stools from the carpenter's shop, all showing the handwork of the children, while diagrams and sample papers from geography to Latin showed the progress of the academic side. The following members were elected to the Board of Managers for the term expiring 1919: The Rev. William M. Moss, Wm. Frederick Trotman, Herbert S. White, Marie S. White, Caroline M.

Near Columbia Ave. THE "AFRICAN DODGER"A MENACE TO THE RACE (BY LESTER A. WALTON) In a recent issue of the Atlanta Constitution appeared the following illuminating news item: Have you seen Ebenozer, the Ham Tree Mule at the Rialto Theater this week? If so, you remember the Negro who fumilishes the crowd with so much amusement as the result of his efforts to ride the animal. Last night it would appear that the mule got tired of being pursued around the stage, or the Negro was not so spry on his feet, as is usually the case. Suddenly, while the audience was laughing, the Negro slipped and the mule's hoof struck him on the head. As a result of the accident the act came to an abrupt stop, and the Negro was jumped up and into Gerry Hospital. Early this morning he was still in the hospital in an unconscious condition, and his condition is serious. The entire race owes "Ebenezer, the Ham Tree Mule," a debt of gratitude. Some may, regard me a but unsympathetic for making such an assertion, but nothing would please me better than to see every colored buffoon meet a similar rate as "Ebenezer's" victim. The race has been ridiculed and embarrassed long enough by clowns who appear in public and degrade the Negro. If "Ebenezer's" victim has resolved to follow some other avocation from now on I wish him a speedy recovery; if he contemplates resuming his low antics, I frankly confess that I do not care what hapens to him. There is another species of buffoon that wields a most pernicious influence; namely the "African Dodger," usually referred to in language less elegant by the majority of white people. It has done the race more harm than all other obnoxious types of colored clowns. The "African Dodger" may be seen in every section of the country, and many self-respecting colored persons, bent on pleasure, have had their entire day spoiled by the humiliating spectacle of some Negro inviting white people to take chances at hitting him on his elusive pate. It may be that I am an arch enemy of the "African Dodger" for personal reasons. I admit I have been humiliated more than once by the disagreeable sight of colored men poking their heads out of a hole made in canvas and baiting on white people to try their aim. I vividly remember my last annoying experience, only last August at Coney Island. I was a member of a party composed mostly of visitors. We had gone to the far-famed summer resort to while away a few hours, and had left behind all thoughts of care and the race problem in New York City. All dignity had been abandoned for the time being. After spending an hour eating frankfurters, and, to quote a facetious expression made by a member of the party—"acting common"—we came across a large crowd in front of one of the amusement reports. Not wanting to miss any of the big attractions of Coney Island we elbowed our way to a commanding position. The spectacle, that met our gaze produced an immediate dampening effect upon our high spirits. Two colored men, with closely-shaven heads, were daring those who had bought three balls for five tents, to hit them, then they would stick their bald pates out of the apertures for targets. Now and then some speedy thrower of good aim would connect with the desired object, and then the crowd would applaud approvingly. Such vulgar expressions as: "He hit the nigger' that time," and "He got the coon'" were frequently heard. The members of our party did not tarry long in front of this "place of amusement," for instead of feeling amused we were mortified. Hard as we tried, we were unable to "act common" and exude with jollity and good cheer as before, we came across the "African Dodger." We became more thoughtful, less "plebeian," and when someone suggested that we return to New York there was not a dissenting voice. Hundreds, yes thousands of colored persons have had similar experiences at county fairs and other pleasure resorts. I do not believe any other race of people would permit such a disgrace to their race as the "African Dodger" to continue as an amusement attraction. If the managers of Coney Island and other open air amusement places refuse to heed our request that the "African Dodger" be eliminated, cannot "Cyclone" Williams, Redding and other speedy colored baseball pitchers be prevailed upon to perform an act of service to their race and make more business for the hospitals and doctors as did "Elenezer" the mule? A few years ago a State Senator from Brooklyn, at the behest of colored constituents, introduced a bill at Albany making it unlawful for any person to conduct an "African Dodger" concession. The bill was defeated and those pushing it accepted the outcome in the same spirit of calm resignation which usually marks the attitude of our men—not women—when meeting temporary defeat. As the Legislature at Albany is overwhelmingly Republican, and Governor Widman is looked upon as the Negro's friend, is it not timely for a concerted effort to be made to secure the passage of an anti-African Dodger bill during the present session of the Legislature? I once was asked: "How much has the mob spirit in the South been stimulated by this "hit the 'coon' form of amusement?" My answer was, that the uncivilized diversion of trying to break the skulls of Negroes had, to my way of thinking, helped to develop the lynch spirit North and South, but to what extent the "African-Dodger" had developed the mob spirit I would not undertake to say. Any my opinion on the subject is the same to-day. Sporting Notes BASKETBALL (By WILL ANTHONY MADDEN.) On Thursday night, January 25, the world champion "Incorporators" took their first road trip of the season when they journeyed to Orange, N. J., and defeated the Imperials by a score of 48-11. The regular first string lineup of the "Incorporators" played, with the exception of Perkinson, who did not take the trip. Young Turner played in Perk's place and gave as fine an exhibition of basketball as any fan would want to see. He brought six field goals and his floor work was marvelous for everywhere the ball was you could find Turner. He played the ball continually and his work was so fast and clean that he had only one foul called on him in the whole game and this one was due to an accident. Cooper starred at center, scoring 24 points, while Forbes slipped up several times through the Imperial's team and scored a field goal and got back to his position. In fact, the guarding of both Forbes and Johnson was so close that the Imperial team was held practically scoreless. Sisco's floor work was as fast as ever and he worked fine with Turner. Harding, Huggins and Pearman did good work as substitutes. The Imperial team played fast and hard, but the "Incorporators"' knowledge of the game and the speed with which they played far outclassed anything the Orange boys could turn on. Billy Leimer refereed. St. Christopher Defeats Hampton. After meeting Hampton for the past three years, St. Christopher at last registered a victory over the Virginia boys. The game on Friday night was the fourth meeting of these two teams with Hampton having won the other three. The game started with a rush and it wasn't long before both sides began scoring. Soon, however, Hampton's weight and physical condition began to wear down the St. Christopher boys, with the result that the first half ended with a score of 12-5 in favor of Hampton. With Hampton having a margin of seven points over a team of St. Christopher's calibre, it looked pretty black for the Parish House boys. When the whistle blew for the second half, both teams came out determined to fight every inch of ground in order to win. Bradford had to be taken out of the game as the pace was too much for the "old master." It was in the second half that Hampton made one of the biggest blunders that could have been made by changing the lineup. The original five that was sent against St. Christopher was steadily and surely winning the game and this combination should never have been changed. It is always bad judgment to change any team that is winning, no matter if the team should be composed of substitutes and scrubs. Several seasons ago, when I was manager of St. Christopher, I had the same experience in St. Christopher "Tiger" and St. Cyprian "Speedboys" game in St. Cyprian's gym. Clarence "Pat" Jeukins, who was just beginning his basketball career about that time, was placed in Charlie Green's position as guard, as Green could not get there. DISMOND DEFEATS MEREDITH AT CHICAGO Biaga Dismond of the University of Chicago, and his old rival, Ted Meredith of the University of Pennsylvania, met last Saturday evening at the Second Regiment Armory, Chicago, in the feature event, th quarter-mile invitation run, and the colored runner scored a decisive victory over the world's champion for that distance. OPERA SINGER CREATES SENSATION IN DARK MAKEUP Claudia Muzio, a youthful Italian prima donna, created a sensation at the Metropolitan Opera House Saturday evening in "Aida," Verdi's classic, by darkening her skin to accomplish the complete impersonation of the Ethiopian princess slave. Dismond had no trouble defeating Moredith, who came in last. The runners crossed the tape with Dismond first, Walter Miller, Illinois Athletic Club, second, Deroy Campbell, University of Chicago, third, Ted Meredith, fourth. The 440 yards were run in 0:522-5. A crowd of 6,800 persons, which filled the new hall, was surprised to witness the ease with which the Maroon runner defeated the national champion. The New York Morning Telegraph published Miss Muzio's picture in her dusky makeup, making the following comment "Claudia Muzio, the youthful Italian prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera Company, made her American debut last night in the name part of Verdí's Aida, singing with exalted inspiration, acting the tragic role with all of the magnificent mimic art which she first disclosed in Tosca, and looking the part of the Ethiopian princess-slave to a degree that no other great prima donna until late. Just how fine a game litte the Jenkins played is now basketball history. His work was so great that I refused to make any change in the position and later when Green showed up, he agreed with my decision and said: "Bill, it isn't any use taking the kid out, because he is winning." It was this game that was the making of "Fat" Jenkins, who at that time was merely a cub. Just how far he has advanced was shown the other night in his star game on St. Christopher's big team against Hampton. Although I feel confident that if Hampton had not changed that winning combination she would have won the game, this does not take anything away from St. Christopher's brilliant victory. The Parish House team put up one of the gamest uphill fights against tremendous odds that has been witnessed in many a day. The team showed the stuff it is made of and the amount of fighting spirit it has, the same as was shown a year ago when St. Christopher came. from the rear and beat Alpha "Big Five." All through the second half of Friday night's game it was nip and tuck, first St. Christopher would be one point ahead, and then Hampton would lead. It was anybody's game up until the last three minutes when St. Christopher, by some quick scoring, forged ahead and won by six points. It was easily seen that every St. Christopher man was playing with a despair, knowing that a fourth straight defeat by Hampton would be a blow that it would take a long time to forget. Every St. Christopher man fought for all that was in him and great credit must be given them for the brand of ball they displayed against Hampton. . . . On February 9, the "Incorporators" will play the Scholastics in Pittsburgh, Pa. The Champions are being put through a guelling system of training and practice in order to bring a victory home for New York. The team will leave Pittsburgh in time to clash with the St. Douglass Five at the Orange Armory in Orange, N. J., on Lincoln's Birthday night. A large crowd will take the trip to Orange with the team. . . . The "incorporators" new mascot is the brother of Walter Cooper, the famous star center of the All-American. Alpha meets St. Christopher again on February 12 and meets Spartan again on February 2. On March 9 the "incorporators" will fight it out with Salem-Crescent for a handsome trophy. Diamond took the lead at the crack of the gun and held it throughout the race, placing more distance between himself and the three other men as he went along. The last lap placed him across the finish line a good ten yards ahead of Walter Miller of the Illinois Athletic Club. Roy Campbell, also running for the University of Chicago, was last throughout the race until the final stretch, when he pursued ahead of Meredith. "Musically and dramatically, it was a sensational and yet perfectly legitimate performance of the part, more legitimate, indeed, than most of its accepted predecessors, and thus for the reason that Miss Muzio yielded all of the vanities of personal pulchritude to the big idea of looking the part. Its acting requirements are well within her splendid endowments as an emotional actress, and her warm, tender and—at times—incredibly powerful soprano voice are more than sufficient for the arias accredited to Aida." The biggest game of them all, and the most wonderful attraction ever staged in New York basketball history will be on Friday night, March 2, when the Providence Collegians, with Fred D. Pollard, of Brown University in the lineup, faces the world champion "Incorporators" at Manhattan Casino. The conqueror of Yale and Harvard in football says he can conquer the "Incorporators" in basketball. March 2 will tell. See advertisement. The next big game on the basketball calendar will be the Carlton-Alpha game at Labor Lyeum, Brooklyn, Monday, February 5. This will be the first appearance of Big Five in Brooklyn and a big crowd is expected out to witness the biggest basketball event Brooklyn has had in years. With Jackson, Peyton, Accooe, H. Jackson, H. Brown, J. Brown and F. Scott, Carlton has a team with championship possibilities and if the crack Y. M. C. A. team displays the speed they have in their last few games they have a good chance of scoring a victory over the famous Big Five. PATTERSON, N. J.—In a hard-fought battle the Sioux F. C. of Paterson, considered to be Paterson's fastest colored team, and junior champs of Passaic County, gave the fast Melrose Juniors of Orange a beating to the tune of 20 to 9. Manager Nane Benson, of Sioux F. C., claims his junior team is the champion junior team of the East and he is willing to put his champs against any team in their weight (90 to 100 lb. class) to prove what he states. Melrose Juniors were no match for the little Indian boys and they simply were played off their feet. Benson, the Sioux forward, had fifteen points out of twenty and was dropping them in from all angles of the court. Dry, the Sioux new guard, also showed his superiority and scored the other five points. Sioux have open dates. Address to Nane Benson, 32 Bergen Street, Paterson, N. J. BABKETBALL IN NEW JERSEY. (By J. Richard Lea) ORANGE, N. J.—On Thursday night, January 25, the famous Incorporators, the colored world champions of New York, made what is probably the highest record over any of their opponents this season when they hung up 48 points to 11 for the Imperials, or Orange, "the Pride of Jersey." The Imperials were held to but two field goals during the entire contest, while the champions' sent the ball through the cage twenty-one times from the field. The champions tried hard to tally 50 or more points, but the referee's whis- the ended their wild spurt. Manchard, of the Imperials, played his usual hard game and caged 6 free throws and 1 gold goal. The game was witnessed by some 400. Score, 48 to 11. The St. Cyprian Speed Boys, of New York, earned a decisive victory over the Melrose, of Orange, N. J., 36 to 26, on the latter's court. The Melrose started off in the lead and kept it for two minutes and when the first half ended the Speed Boys' lead by 19 to 15. Johnson starred for the winners, accounting for ten field goals and Frye was a star of center for the Orange boys. Mention must be made of Hill, who is the smallest and lightest in weight on the Orange quintet. He played a remarkable good game and fouled less than his older teammates. In time he will develop into one of the best guards on the court. The game was well attended. All eyes are turned to the big game on the St. Douglass' court Friday night, February 2, when they will meet the St. Augustine "Dynamites" of Brooklyn, N' Y PUGILISM (BY ALEXANDER WALTERS) Harlem Sporting Club, 135th Street and Madison Avenue - On Friday night, before a crowd that packed the club to its capacity, Leo Johnson, the colored lightweight champion of the world, met Joe Welling, of Chicago, one of the best white lightweights in the world. Johnson being the first colored boy that Welling ever fought, much interest was manifested in the outcome of the bout. The Chicago boy, who is the tallest lightweight in the business and a very hard hitter, found in Johnson a worthy opponent, because what the colored boy lacked in hitting power he made up in ring generalship and cleverness. His defensive against his white opponent's vicious swings and counters was perfect and only when Johnson saw fit for the Chicago fighter to hit him could he do so. On several occasions Johnson would leap in with his lightning jabs and send Welling's head back and then he would step in close and rock the white boy's head with left hand swings to the jaw. Welling had the advantage of height, reach and weight, but under these adverse circumstances Johnson fought a great uphill battle, and although on the defense most all the time during the ten rounds, he was entitled to a draw. Weights — Johnson 134½; Welling 135½. Kid Clarke, 'a coming little, bantam-weight and a boy who really can fight, packing a hard wallop for a boy of his size, met Young Johnson, another promising young fighter in a four-round bout, and these two boys kept the crowd on their feet for the entire four rounds cheering their great work. There was not a dull moment during the bout and Johnson fought a great battle, after being knocked down for a count in the first round, which gave the decision to Clarke on points. Weights—Johnson 112; Clarke 108. Queensboro A. C., Long Island City —On last Saturday evening, after several attempts, Matchmaker Frenz found an opponent for K.O. Lou Williams, the colored 'welterweight champion of the world and a boy every fighter at his weight refused to meet. Williams was to have met Silent Martin, but at the last moment Martin sent word that he was sick and could not fight and the club manager found it very hard to find a substitute. But at the last moment Soldier Kelsey accepted the bout and in meeting Kelsey the colored boy had to concede to his white opponent at least ten pounds. But he did not seem to care about that because he sailed right in from the first round and gave the 'Soldier the lacing' of his life. Williams' jabs had Kelsey's face all cut up and his right eye was completely closed in the fourth round. At no time during the ten rounds did the colored boy 'relinquish his lead and showed all present that he was his heavy opponent's master at all stages of the game. At the end of the bout Williams bore marks and his white opponent was all battered up and bleeding from the colored boy's terrific Mile, Volavay is a great artist and is under the management of Mr. Louden Charlton, Carnegie Hall.

Battling Holmes, one of New York's best middleweights, is open to meet any one at his weight in the world. Carbone, Augie Ratner, Jimmy O'Hagan preferred . . . Jim Buckley, Paddy Donnelly's new wonder, better known as "Jamaica Kid," who has made good in all of his bouts up to the present time, is open to meet any one, Willie Langford preferred. . . . KANSAS CITY--Bill Late, who is fighting in great form these days again demonstrated that he is Sam Langford's master in a ten round bout by gaining the decision over Langford at the end of the tenth round before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a bout before the Kansas City A. C. on January 25. Tate is the tallest heavyweight now before the public and only 23 years old, and if he continues to improve he will surely regain the heavyweight title for his race if given a chance. * * * Vanderbile A. C. of Brooklyn.—On last Friday night, before a very large crowd, Jack Thompson, of Joplin, Mo., who has been fighting with great success since coming east, added a K. O. to his record when he knocked out Soldier Kearns in the fourth round of the star bout which was to have gone ten. Thompson, who is a very hard hitter, showed those present that the white man was not in his class from the first round and seemed to be able to put Kearns out any time he wishes. Weights—Kearns 200; Thompson 194. In the next bout Rufus. Cameron met Jack London and both men seemed to know little about the fistic art. There was little to choose between the two of them, because they both put up a very poor bout, but Cameron lost to London at the end of the tame fight. Weights—Cameron 210; London 205. . . . Amey Mack, the matchmaker of the Vanderbilt A. C., who has been very loyal to all the colored fighters in regard to giving them a chance to perform at his club, has started a movement to give Darkey Griffin, the veteran of many battles and a boy who is well liked by white and colored, a benefit. Griffin met with an accident several weeks ago and will be unable to fight for some time. The date has not been set for the benefit as yet, but will be announced through these columns in the next issue. * * * Harry Wills, the New Orleans heavyweight, finds it hard to get some oug to fight him and his manager, Jim Buckley, is trying to match his heavyweight with Joe Bonds, the heavyweight from Tacoma. : Vanderbilt A. C., Brooklyn—On last Monday evening, before a large crowd considering the inclement weather, Wee Wee Barton, of New York, met Joe Hirst, of Philadelphia, who substituted for Young Franklin, who claimed to be ill. Barton had little trouble in outpointing his white opponent. Hirst had weight and reach on the colored boy, but Barton, who is of the aggressive style of fighters, continued to carry the fight to Hirst for the entire ten rounds. Several times it looked as if the colored boy would win with a knock out because he had his opponent droggy with his overhand swing to the jaw, but Hirst, when in danger, would hold on to the colored boy to keep from going down. At the end of the tenth round Hirst was a beaten boy and bore signs of the severe wallops that Barton had administered. Weights—Barton 142; Hirst 150 . . . Kid Clarke issues a challenge to any boy in the world at 105 to 110 to fight from four rounds to twenty, Kid Rash preferred.
