Texas Militiamen, Under Federal Control, Murder Two; Negroes Demand Protection Special to Tux New York Am. Come Looking for Trouble. The slogan of these soldiers is: "Kill the damn, niggers, and trouble was expected when a civil war told a promise while a white man of Galveston prior to the militia invasion in the city. We will kill the damn, niggers, and trouble, and for they will be dead. The Texas soldiers had hardly set foot in Galveston before they started to kill Negroes. One would have thought they had been sent by the United States Government to wage war on the colored people of the city. Self-respecting colored people began to reent the discounty and brutal treatment, and then followed numerous race riots. As the result of racial strife provoked by the soldiers two Negroes were murdered and several were injured. At a meeting of the City Commissioners a committee of sixty colored citizens demanded that the city officials give them police protection against lawless militiamen. E. L. Anthony acted as spokesman. He was accompanied by P. A. Winters, W. L. McDonald, L. C. Sholars, W. Woods, P. B. Oliver, D. L. Davis, A. Slensen, F. Banks, T. Scott, J. E. Cobb, J. B. Ballot, Sam Smith, A. Block B. Bassey, L. A. Davis, T. Page, S. Goterson, S. Anderson, E. V. Pitts, N. Humphrey, E. P. Williams, Lee Pons, A. Rodgers, J. Pope, H. Warner, William Sipan, R. Henry, B. Benford, S. Austin, S. S. Simmons and J. S. Lewis. Mr. Anthony stated that the colored population of the city, by reason of the tragedies of the week and of threats that have been made against their lives by some of the militiamen are terrorized and had sent the committee to the board for the purpose of ascertaining just what the board would do toward affording them the protection they are entitled to as tax payers and lawabiding citizens. He scored the restricted district, and called attention to the fact that trouble between the colored population and the soldiers generally start in that section of the city, and for that reason there should have been protection provided. "We don't want trouble with the white people in these strenuous times, or any other time. That would be bad," said Mr. Anthony. "We are good citizens and obey the law, but we want, and we are here to demand better protection at the hands of the police department for whose support we are taxed. If we do not get that protection, then we will police ourselves. The trouble with these militiamen who call themselves soldiers, but who are not, that they come here from some other place, get half drunk and think that every Negro woman is a Negro prostitute. Consequently our mothers, wives and daughters are insulted and our homes are in danger of invasion. We want protection from the police department and demand it. The murders of the week—crimes which have sent innocent and lawabiding citizens to their graves and left those dependent upon them to struggle alone for existence, was brought about because of the inefficient protection offered by our police department. Our people are provoked to action. They know and you know the proper protection was not given them by the police department that they are entitled to. They are making demand for that protection tonight, and this committee must return to them with a report saying just what this board of commissioners will do toward affording that protection. Mayer Fisher stated that he had taken the matter up with the officers at the fort, and that these officers would put on a provost guard. He said the officers would create a restricted zone for soldiers, and that this zone would be all the territory north of Broadway lying between Twenty-fifth and Thirtieth streets. "We hold this board responsible for the killings of the week," declared Mr. Anthony. "It should have—provided protection for lawabiding citizens." Mayor Fisher said that all efforts were being made to apprehend and punish those guilty of instigating the trouble, and that the board would do all in its power to protect the citizens of Galveston. "A prominent white citizen who wilt nessed the riot, told me some things which may help the board in locating the guilty parties," said Mr. Anthony. "He heard a conversation between two of the militiamen, one called T. J., and the other 'Bisbee.' It was as follows: Bisbee: 'Where are you going in such hurry, T. J.' T. J.: I am going to get some cartridges to kill them damned 'niggers.'" "That is the sentiment of these militiamen—kill them damned 'niggers.' We must have protection." Commissioner Norman: "I don't think there will be any more trouble." Mr. Anthony: "No, but we hold the police department responsible for the two murders already committed. It should have provided the necessary protection." Commissioner Newman: Negroes Issue Protest The following protest has been issued by those composing the committee which waited on the city commissioners: The undersigned colored citizens of Galveston appeared before the board of city commissioners on Thursday night, and vigorously protested against the lawlessness of the United States soldiers, whose action since arriving in Galveston have so terrorized the colored population of the city, and to such extent that they felt it necessary to ask the board to rendet such assistance and protection needed to protect the colored population against the willful and malicious lawlessness of these so-called United States soldiers. Within the past forty-eight hours the lives of two of our most respected citizens have been willfully and maliciously taken, and others seriously, and perhaps fatally wounded, for no other reason than they were Negroes! and the pleasure of seeing them fall when shot by some assassin. Shame on a country which bonets of such civilization! We are patriotic. We are sincere and we are loyal. We stand ready to hear our hearts against a foe of this country. No race is more loyal to their country. No motive more pure than ours. Then why should we be made targets of these uniformed men who call themselves soldiers? Our grievance was most forcibly presented to the board by Mr. Anthony. He spoke broadly and with force of the wrongs we are enduring and the remedy which should be adopted. The board accepted his remarks as timidly as we recycles the assurance that the city would be policed by a provost guard in conjunction with the police force which is the only way to accomplish the desired results. The only paper in Galveston that has waged a vigorous protest against this disgraceful conduct of the militiamen is The Labor Dispatch, published in the interest of union labor by J. W. Young. On other occasions Editor Young has espoused the cause of the Negro in his publication.

SOUTH HOLDS UNIQUE PATRIOTIC MEETING Leading White Citizens Attend Negro Gathering and Laud the Race for Its Loyalty. UNUSUAL PROGRAM RENDERED Meeting Held Under the Auspices of the Colored Men's Patriotic League of Pike County, Ala.-Two Thousand Persons Present, Composed of Both Races. --- (Special to The New York Age.) TROY, Ala.—That war and migration are creating more cordial relations between the white and colored people of the South was shown here at the big patriotic meeting held under the auspices of the Colored Men's Patriotic League of Pike County. In the past getting prominent white people to attend a gathering of Negroes has been regarder nothing short of an achievement. At the meeting in question not only did the leading white citizens of the community attend but they took a prominent part in the exercises. The Rev. Dr. Bateman pastor of the BFA Baptist Church and one of the prominent white speakers who dwelt on the necessity of both races living side by side on friendly terms, stated that it was the most significant meeting ever held in Troy, and the, two thousand white and colored people present shared with him the opinion. Among those present were the Hon. W. B. Folnar, representing the Mayor; L. M. Betinskey, vice-president of the Farmers' and Merchants' National Bank; J. W. Powers, president of the Municipality; M. Munoz, cashier of the First National Bank; Mrs. J. M. Sanders, superintendent of education of Pike County; Mrs. L. M. Binshekay, president of the Civic Improvement Club; the Rev. Dr. Bateman, pastor of the First, Baptist Church (white); Prof. E. M. Shackelford, president of the State Normal School (white), and Dr. L. R. Boyd, county health officer. See Better Conditions Ahead. All of the white speakers made inspiring addresses, lauding the Negro for his patriotism and assuring the race that white Americans had implicit confidence in its loyalty and true Americanism. The meeting of the white and colored citizens of Pike County on friendly terms as a public gathering is on the agenda for this meeting, many see the beginning of a new era and the adjustment of racial conditions which will be more satisfactory to all concerned. The meeting was held by the colored people of Pike County to put themselves on record as being loyal Americans. The program, consisting of speechmaking and singing, was interesting from start to finish. The members of the league, each wearing a red, white and blue badge, formed a line in front of the First Baptist Church and marched to their seats in a body. Members of the race taking part on the program were the Rev W. J. Baldwin, the Rev William Grider, the Rev C. A. Russell, who delivered the welcome address; H. V. Stevens, Dr. J. A. Brewer, Prof. H. R. Chiveers, Dr. J. J. Daniels, Prof. C. L. Jenkins, the Rev M. C. Lowery and Miss P. L. James. The Rev Dr. Bateman suggested that a committee be appointed to bring Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, to Troy to speak, and other white citizens promptly offered to defray Dr. Moton's expenses. Dr. S. B. Innis creditably served as master of ceremonies. The officers of the Colored Men's Patriotic League of Pike County are: Dr. S. B. Innis, president; H. V. Stevens, vice-president; A. C. Brown, secretary, and James Henderson, treasurer. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) PHILIPH PULIAR, PA....An offer to raise $100,000 for the war was sent to President Wilton Wednesday by the alumni association of Lincoln University. The announcement was made at the university's commencement Tuesday night in Witherspoon Hall, when sixteen young men went graduated. Rev. R. B. Jack, of Hazelton, Pa., preached the sermon. Legislature Passes African Dodger Bill; Now Awaits Gov. Whitman's Signature Albany, N. M.-The African Dodger bill has passed both branches of the Legislature and now awaits the signature of Gov. Whitman to become a law. At 11.30 Monday night the Murphy bill was passed in front of Assembly, without opposition. It was introduced by Assemblyman Ahern of Brooklyn, and had the support of Spencer Sweet. The measure was introduced in the Senate by Senator Charles P. Murphy of Brooklyn, and passed by that body Friday by a vote of 29 to 9; Senate Leader Elon R. Brown urged the passage of the bill. The Republicans voted for the measure. Senators Ack B. Brown, Elon R. Brown, Caro Cannon, Gilchrist Graves, Hill, Marsh, Murphy, Newton, Ottinger, Sage, Riverers, L. Thompson, Tortoise, Walters, Wellington, Walton, and Wimmer. The Democrats favoring the bill were Senators Boylan, Cullen, Doyle, Dawling, Dunnigan, Foley, Ramsey, Wagner and Walker. No Democrat was against the bill. The R. Murphy bill out of doubt were Senators Burlingame, Halliday, Knight, Lawson, Mills, Robinson, G F. Thompson, Lockwood and Mullan. In the Senate last Friday Major R. Poole and the other colored attaches to that branch of the Legislature worked hard to win over legislators in favor of the measure, and Henry A. Spencer who has long been associated with the Assembly, did good work Monday among the Assemblymen. The only opponents to the bill were a few amusement people. The Senate Major R. Poole, bill, which was fathersed by Senator Charles F. Murphy a prominent Brooklyn Republican, will put an end to the disgraceful spectacle seen in the past at such amusement places as Coney Island, where crowds of white people have indulged in the pastime of throwing balls at the head of irresponsible Negroes. In making his fight for the bill on the floor of the Senate Mr. Murphy declared that the Negro could not use the violence, resorted to by, the Irish in disguise, on the stage, with their ridicule portrayed by stage characters of the Jewish race by staying away from the theatres or buying them. 49TH ANNIVERSARY OF (Special to The New York Acm) HAMPTON, VA. - Preparedness, loyalty, and racial good-will were emphasized throughout the forty-ninth Hampton Institute anniversary celebration which closed with the presentation by Rev Dr. Francis G. Peabody, of Cambridge, Mass., of ninety-eight candidates for diplomas and certificates to the board of trustees. Dr Wm. Jay Schieffelin of New York, a trustee of Hampton and Tuskogee, spoke on "The Negro's Opportunity to Serve the Nation in the Present Crisis," and expressed his confidence in the Negro's ability and willingness to go forward in the spirit of Hampton to cheerful self-sacrifice. Dr. Peabody said of Mr. Taft, president of the Hampton board of trustees: "By the logic of events, he has been promoted to the enviable position of being the best-loved living American." Mr. Taft's declaration at the community meeting on Preparedness, called by Dr H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, that the loyalty and service of Negroes in the present crisis will make the colored race more valued by all the citizens was received with great enthusiasm. The addresses delivered by the members of the graduating class were interesting and full of sound common sense. Maurice E. Thomasson, of Monticello, Ark., said: "During the past two years there have moved from Southern to Northern states from 300,000 to 500,000 Negroes. The attractive cause of the movement is the great demand for semi-skilled and unskilled labor in the North, caused by the shortage of alien labor and by the abnormal activities of industries furnishing material of war." Dr. Frissell in his annual principal's report said that preparedness for service is the keynote of Hampton. "Because of the pressing demand upon Hampton for teachers and industrial leaders, and because the school will apparently work to greater advantage with more pupils, the board of trustees and the faculty have decided that a movement shall be made toward a greater Hampton. A school of 1,200, means a new auditorium, more dining-room space, more dormitories, additional class rooms and teachers, and a larger church." APPOINTED MEMBER OF (Special to The New York Age) BUFFALO, N. Y.-Gerard Miller has been appointed a special patrolman. He is one of the chief who will assist the police and he is Capt. Burfeind of the Fourth precinct. Police Officer Miller is the first Negro to be appointed to any kind of a job in the police department in many years. In the Senate last Friday Major R. Poole and the other colored attachs of that branch of the Legislature worked hard to win over legislators in favor of the measure, and Henry A. Spencer, who has long been associated with 'the Assembly, did good work Monday among, the Assemblymen. The only opponents to the bill were a few amusement people. The African Dodger bill, which was fathered by Senator Charles F. Murphy, a prominent Brooklyn Republican, will put an end to the disgraceful spectacle seen in the past at such amusement places as, Coney Island, where crowds of white people have indulged in the pastime of throwing balls at the heads of irresponsible Negroes. In making his fight for the bill on the floor of the Senate Mr. Murphy declared that the Negro could not use the violence resorted to by the Irish in dispossessed men on the stage, who held their face to the camera in jeered ridicule portrayed by stage characters of the Jewish race by staying away from the theatres or buying them.

PRESS IS LEFT PROPERTY Executor Jumlus M. Green Says He will Not Probate Will Until Press Is Released from Custody - Coroner's Verdict is Expected Some time During the who died April 18 in her apartments at the Hotel Press, 19 and 21 W. 135th street, of which she was one of the owners, will not be filed until the release of James H. Press, Mrs. Walker's partner, who has been a prisoner in the tombs for nearly two weeks. It was announced by the friends of Press that the Coroner will reach his case some time this week and he will gain his freedom not later than Thursday or Friday of this week. It is said that Press could be out on bond if he so desired. Junius M. Green, who was named executor of Mrs Walker's will before she died, says he has not probated the instrument but will do so as soon as Press wins his freedom. It is rumored that Press, has been left all of the Walker estate except one or two minor bequests. Henry Michael Walker, husband of the deceased who had been estranged from his wife for many years, again attracted attention last Saturday by making a determined effort to effect an entrance into the hotel and take personal charge of the effects. Accompanied by, two police officers he made a demand on Junius-Green for the keys, and produced a temporary testamentary letter showing that the court had appointed him to take charge of the estate Green contended that the papers were secured under false pretence as Walker knew that a hotel existed. He also argued that the hotel affected and effects were owned by two persons and no one had any right to take possession under such circumstances. "The police recognized the logic in Green's contention and departed, accompanied by Walker, who has not made further trouble. U. S. TROOPERS STUDYING TO. BECOME OFFICERS (Special to Tux New York A&M) That the War Department contemplates encouraging colored men to become officers in the United States Army is indicated in a letter received by Frank De Willis, 472 Lenox Avenue from First Sergeant John H. Pappy of the Tenth Cavalry, stationed at Fort Hunchuca, Ariz. In his letter the sergeant writes: I am going to school tomorrow for twelve weeks to a training school established here in the post for the purpose of getting a commission as an officer in case of war in some of the militia or volunteer regiments that may be organized. I have already been given a preliminary examination and have been told that I passed. Lieut. Col. Charles Young will personally instruct us in securing an officer's training. Sergeant Pappy was recently a visitor in New, York City and was deeply interested in the Fifteenth Regiment. [Editor's Note.—This is the first information received that Lieut.-Col Young was to head an officers' training camp.] Negro Health Week, conducted in Greater New York under the auspices of the National Urban League, was brought to a successful close Sunday when four enthusiastic meetings were held in Manhattan and Brooklyn at which Dean William Pickens of Morgan College, Baltimore, was the principal speaker. Union Baptist Church, St. Mark's M. E. Church, Palace Casino, New York and the Bridge Street A. M. P. Church, Brooklyn, were the scenes of these usual meetings held in the interest of health education, and Dean Phinney and his associates put in a very busy day of chief participants of a whirlwind fun. They were carried to their objective points in automobiles put at the disposal of the local committee by Mrs. Albert Erdmann and Mrs. Perceived Knauth. The largest meeting of the day was held at Palace Casino in 1850 at 2 o'clock, where Dean Pickeng, Borough President Marks, L. Hollinswood Woods, Eugene Kinkle Jones, were listened to by a representative and seated, in box near the stage, while delegation from the Colored Business Men's League, which is working to revel up, a larger stock of race cars in Harlem, and the company's business about the company's plans. --- Borough President Marks told his hearers that he favored the plan of establishing a bathhouse in Harlem, and resolutions relative thereto were adopted which have been sent to Mayor Mitchel and the Board of Estimates for consideration. Messrs. Wood and Jones dwelt on the work being done by the league for the race the community and asked that the National Urban League receive the moral and financial support of the colored people. Inspiring music was furnished by the Clef Club, Frederick Ryan, conductor, with J. Rosamond Johnson at the piano. The meeting was presided over by Dr. E. P. Roberts. Well-known young ladies of New York and Brooklyn acted as ushers, who were assisted by members of the Douglass Students' Club and the Negro Civic Improvement Club. The young ladies who, besides acting as ushers, collected a number of yearly subscriptions for the Urban League, were Muriel Smith, Czarina Jackson, Vivienne A. Ward, Patricia Ferguson, Clark Carita V. Owens Olyve L. Jeter, Mobelle McAdon, Beatrice L. Lonax, Katy Holbrook, Maude Bulkley, Rosalie Pickney, Sadie Henderson, Naomi B Henderson, Estelle A. Jarrort, Bersevie M. Marrow, Essie Goode and Olliva N. Harris. The first meeting of the day was held at Union Baptist Church when a large congregation listened to Dean Pickens and representatives of the Urban League at 11 o'clock. Dr. George H. Sims, pastor, introduced Fred R. Moore, editor of Turt. Art, who in turn introduced Miss Elizabeth Walton, who presided. Dean Pickens and the other speakers were listened to with marked attention, and a substantial financial offering was given to the league. Musical numbers were rendered by the choir of the church and a solo was sung by W. D. Hill, accompanied by Mrs. John T. Clark. The third meeting of the day was held at St. Mark's M. E. Church at 4:30 o'clock. In the absence of Commissioner Katherine Davis, who was unable to be present, her sister, Miss Helen Davis of the Y. W. C. A., spoke. Dean Pickens was again heard to advantage as were the representatives of the league. Miss Mabel Diggs rendered two solos and patriotic songs were sung by the audience. Fred R. Moore presided at this meeting. The last meeting was held Sunday evening at 8 o'clock at the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, when the Rev. C. P. Cole, pastor; Arthur W. Towne, superintendent of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and James H. Hubert of the Urban League were on the program with these who had participated in the other three meetings. A Question of Environment In his speech during the day on "The Negro and Health" Dean Pickens said in part: "The American Negro, has been so often discussed as if he differed, from other men in his relation to the laws of society that some have grown bold enough to imply that he differs from other men even in his relation to the LEARN THE INDOL SYSTEM OF HAIR CULTURE The system with the paddle.

THE STAR HAIR GROWER brought upon me. The point is to be concerned is natural. The question of the health of human health, however, is not so much a true question as it is a question of environment. It may be called a class question, for it is closely connected with his economic and social status. In brief, the Negro is not sick or well because of the color of his skin, or because of the shape of his nose or his feet. There may be certain diseases which more readily attack his constitution; but that is true of all races in reference to some disease or other, perhaps the explanation is historical. Man was so scattered over the earth and lived in more or less isolated groups for a long period of time. It happened, therefore, that one group had to battle with a certain disease more than did the others. This group developed a constitutional resistance to this disease; or we might say that the disease weeded out from this group those elements which were peculiarly subject to its attack. It may be that the white man of the past was more subjected to tuberculosis and became in a degree immunized, so that now tubercular bacilli attack the Negro's constitution more readily; and it may be that the Negro of the past suffered from hookworm, so that now hookworms attack the white man more successfully. "But be that as it may, it is plain that environment is the chief factor and is the point of attack for science. For these evils are preventable. Tuberculosis may be worse for the Negro when he has it, but it is not necessary for him to have it; hookworm may be worse for the white man when he has it; but it is not necessary for him to have it. The black man cannot escape tuberculosis by becoming white; the white man cannot escape hookworm by becoming black. The race question cannot help either, but an improvement of economic conditions will help both. If the black man can have a better job so that he can have better food, and more rest and air, and a sanitary house, he will have less tuberculosis; if the poor white man can have better pay and instruction, so that he will possess the means and the knowledge to simply shun the hookworm, he need not have that disease at all. "The Negro's death rate under present conditions is often spoken of as if it indicated that he is not human like other men; but on the contrary it proves that he is exactly human like other men. If the Negro, living as he now lives, died no faster than the white man living as the white man now lives, it would prove that the Negro is not human like the white man. Pigs, for example, could live as Negroes now MME. C. J. WALKER In writ ```markdown ``` LEARN THE INDOL SYSTEM The System with the punch. The Hirst Agents are heavy.

We have learned that the mind helps to kill or to make alive. 'Worry is more wearing' than work. The lower economic status bears on the Negro the harder and injures him the faster in proportion as he feels and knows that it is chiefly the result of social injustice rather than of natural causes. The Jim Crow car kills him not only with its filth and germs but also with the state of mind which it induces in him. The Negro is often spoken of as a happy go-liucky race that never worries. This is a half-truth. He may be sunnier in nature and indulination than the white race,—and for that very reason a period of depression may have more terrible effects on him. A more phlegmatic temperament might be less affected by either joy or sorrow. The Negro who can laugh most loudly in the sun, may also weep most bitterly in the shadow of despair. 1. "In a sorrogated and neglected city district, where the slums are thrust at his very door and the saloon is placed under the very caves of the school-house of his children, he will be gradually done to death not only by the filthy streets, the accumulating garbage and the lack of sowers, but also by the mental and moral depression which his normally sunny disposition is compelled to support. The more intelligent he is, the more he will suffer; the man who does not know that disease germs exist, does not worry about them. "Since the principal cause is the environment, the remedy is science and social justice. Let us consider how closely bound up is the question of health with the question or wealth. They are mutually cause and effect. The better health, the better business success and economic progress; and the more success in business, the better advantages for preserving health, and especially for endowing the succeeding generation with health. The man who owns a house will be provider of it; he will keep it in better repair and cleaner; he will cut a new window for light and air; he will put in panes promptly; he will engage the plumber without delay; he will install sanitary fixtures and conveniences—and being freed from the bondage of rent, he will have more money for recreation, decent amusement and need medical care.

Y.-About 50 or more of the colored, youth of the city who have been diligently drilling likely that they might be prepared when the call to arms is issued have felt not a little discouraged at comment in some papers that seemed intended to belittle their efforts. It is stated that the nucleus for a colored company is already in the making in Elmira, where the patriotism of the colored citizens is on a par with that of their part of the country. An item in one of the local papers called out a letter from Harry. B. Broiker, which was published in the Elmira, Advertiser, in which he said, among other things: "In the present crisis the Negro, who as usual is among the first to respond to his country's call, as in all other wars, finds keen discouragement in the prejudice so manifest in the news item published in some of the daily papers that 'three tar labes as black as the African sun can make them,' had applied for enlistment in the U.S. Army. "The negro does not seek special mention for good deeds done, nor derogatory statements as regards the color of his skin, but just a square deal as citizen and soldier, and recognizing this I can assure you that Uncle Sam will never find more willing nor more staunch supporters than the Negro population will produce. WILLOW AND HOLCOMB WRITE LITERARY SOCIETY (For information see New York, NY) 527A from Washington to New York White House at Washington and from the Capitol at Hartford have come 'to the Bethel Liberal Society' to the A. M. E. Church of this knowledge of resolutions adopted by it unanimously at a recent meeting, expressing loyalty to the State and Nation in the present crisis. The resolutions were written by Henry Allen, president of the society, Rev. E. H. Collins, pastor of the church, acted as chairman, Edwin D. Smith urged the Society to stand by the country at this particular time. A copy of the resolutions was sent to President Wilson and to Governor of the State. From Washington cane the following reply: "The President thanks you cordially for the good will-which prompted your kind message, which has helped to reassure him and keep him in heart." The letter from Hartford, signed by William N. Malbtie, executive secretary, said: "Gov. Holcomb has directed me to acknowledge your letter of the 22d inst. He appreciates very much your action in calling the attention of the Bethel Literary Society to the desirability of expressing their support to the State and Nation at this time. He knows the commendable record of the people of your raco for loyalty to this country and is sure that they will not be found wanting today any more than in the pas" There are large numbers of Negroes here from the South, working in the many manufacturing plants of the city. Those who were opposed to, the late Dr. Washington's' ideas in regard to industrial education realize today that he was a man of great foresight. NEW ORLEANS, La.-The death of Archbishop James H. Blenk, of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, is lamented very much here where his works are known well by most people, colored and white. Protestants and Catholics alike. In life the Archbishop was one of the best friends the colored people of New Orleans ever had. Many a time after he became Archbishop eleven years ago, did his stern attitude in opposing trumped-up charges prevent the carrying out of threats against them. A notable instance of his unfitting stand is the declaration he made backing up a priest in one of the outlying parishes, who defied the mob and protected a Negro who would have been lynched, if it had not been for the courage and nerve of this priest. Almost the whole white population of the place joined in a demand for the removal of the priest. In reply, Archbishop Blenk denounced the attempt on the life of the Negro in scathing terms and applauded the stand of the priest, declaring that instead of wanting the removal of such a man, the white people of the place ought to be sorry that there were not more white men there of such courage and fair mind to protect those most in need of the protection of the law. He assured the petitioners that he would not compel with their demand, but that would do his very best to do so if that the good Father continued the good work he was doing in the parish. The Negro was not further molested after that, and the priest is still out there doing good works in the name of the Lord. Again, no one did more than the Archbishop for the retention of Southern University when the movement was on foot to remove it from this city, although it was not a Catholic institution, but a state school over which the church had no control. After the fight was lost and the school was removed, through Archbishop - Blenk, Mother Catherine Drexel, of the Blessed Sacrament Order, quietly made arrangements for the purchase of the site just as it stood. It was then announced that a school of the same character would be dedicated and devoted to the education and uplifting of the colored people in the same buildings. About two years ago Xavier University was opened and it has been a marked success as a school for the higher education of our people. Archbishop Blenk has also opened five other free schools of the grammar grade in various parts of the city for the colored people. In the funeral procession on Thursday, April 26, the day when the remains of the beloved head of the Archdiocese were laid to rest in the crypt of the altar of St. Louis Cathedral, the colored Catholic societies occupied the most prominent place. The 5th division, under charge of Father Clarke, pastor of the Blessed Sacrament Church, and chaplain of Xavier University, immediately preceded the clergy division ahead of the hearse and relatives of the dead prelate. There were upward of fifteen thousand people in the procession. There was no music, no banners or flowers, only a United States flag at the head of the procession. Everybody walked except the bishops and visiting clergy and State and city officials. Stores on Canal street all closed their doors during the passing of the funeral cortege between eleven and one o'clock. WASHINGTON CHURCH GREETS NEW PAST GREETS NEW PASTOR WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Rev.

The drifting of this country into a state of war, following fast upon .the inauguration of the migration movement from the South, seems destined to play an important part _in the evolution of the Negro in >this, country. Migration has opened 2 thé eyes of the dominant race in the sSobth to the righteous dissatisfac- tion existing among the Negroes with present conditions and the ne- cessity for some change for the better! i The movement kas aroused the ‘attention of the great dailies in the sections affected, and they have in many cases acknowledged that just cause for dissatisfaction existed. Boards of trade, chambers of com- Jmerée, associations’ of planters, “have all given consideration to the ‘subject and~decidedy-upon cam- paigns of education, or other rem- edies, riore or less adequate, to off- set the movement ‘and to improve conditions, so that the South may -not lose its labor, which they now recognize as one af the most prec- ious assets of its prosperity. . -Of course, self-interest is at the “bottom of most of these efforts to prevent the Negroes from leaving the South, though much is heard about protecting them from the wiles of designing labor agents and saving them from the sufferings and privations to be encountered in a strange section of the land under more exacting conditions of labor. But self-interest usually puts up a strong argument, and makes casy jeonverts. * ‘The war fever has played and is playing its part by getting the races ‘together in patriotic and prejiared- ness nicetings: and parades. The practically unanimous response of the Negro to the call to unite in de- “fense’of the country has compelled ‘the respect and atquiescence of the ‘White South and speakers of both ‘races bave spoken from the same platform in the same cause’ | °* One result of these two great forces. at work in the South has Deen to lay the foundation for a better, knowledge and undefstand- ing between the two races. Man- hood and independence have won -recognition as basic clements in. the} make-up of the Negro and qualities that must be counted with in the final’ adjustment of the problem. This recognition may be'and prob- ably, is only partial at present, but it'is bound to grow despite all sct- “ oe a hacky mad) irengregih::;; ~) beck cam eee iby ve ee shold ha welt Here forth‘ in''a speech of 2 Souther Representative in Congréls, the ft accordarice of suffrage’ and civil rights to all those qualified to exer- cise ‘them. -The date for this reign of justice: was set for-the indefinite future, but the mighty forces al work in the affairs of nations have a way of advancing dates, without notice, ; ‘At all events the War and the Migration are doing thtir work al home and abroad, above and below the line. . ” @EXAS GOES TO WAR. In another part of this issue it 1s told how a mob clothed with the uniform of, the Texas militia and the authority-of the Usited States service killed unarmed colored men and insulted colored, women in the streets of the-thriving city of Gal- veston. No, they were not Ger- mans in Mexican uniform, nor Mexicans in German uniform, from over the line, The murderers were soldiers called to the colors to de- fend the country from invasion; their way of doing it was to kill their unotfending fellow citizens of darker hue, ‘The responsibility for this un- provoked killing was put squarely up to the city authorities of Galves- ton on the ground of.the lack of proper police protection. But there exists a larger responsibility on (he part of the State and National au- thorities, for the flagrant violation of all rules of civilized warfare, in this slaughter of helpless civilians by the very soldiers whose duty it should have been to protect them. We shall sce what action the State of Texas and the War De- partment take to punish this crime against civilization, The American nation, cannot afford to enter upon a War for Humanity, with its first engagement-to be known. as the Gal- veston Massacre. The New York Legislature has just assed the African Dodger bill and thousands of Negroes are happy. Members of the race who visit summer resorts, such as Coney Island, may now go out for a few hours of wholesome amusement without living in fear of coming across a crowd of white people using some Negro’s head as a tar- get. The Senate and Assembly have passed the measure, and we feel confident Gov. Whitman will make it a law by attaching his sig- nature. ‘The legislators of New York have rendered the colored people of the State a great service in legally suppressing the ‘African Dodger.” At one of his big meetings a few evenings ago “Billy” Sunday, the evangelist, is quoted by the New York IVorld as saying: “Make us forget, Jesus, that we're black and white, rich and poor, Catholic. Protestant and Jew, or whether we were born here or elsewhere, Make us remember that we're all Ameri- cans, pledged to go out and fight to the last ditch for our flag.” The World says that the Rev. Mr. Sun- day's utterances bronght forth a thunderous burst of applause, and the prayer was interrupted for half a minute, There can he no objec: tion to “Billy” Sunday work to save souls when he expresses himself so soundly on Christianity and true Americanism. : "We MEETS THE RAISE.

There is a lot of truth in the remark. To a number ‘of Negroes, a number far too farge,for the good of the race, every- thing is funny, life is one great, big joke. + There’are too many “comedians” in the race. There is too much story telling and loud laughing. Take any avesage group of coldmed men, not ignorant men, but men of fair intelligence, and what are they talking about? Generally a lot of nonsense. ‘They are laughing loud about something that “Bill” said or something that “Jim” did or over some story old or new. . There is a place in life for story telling and laughter, but the place is small, especially in this day and time. With thoughtful people, people who understand the meaning of present day life, story telling and laughter are merely momentary relaxations from the stern realities. Too often, where two or-three or a half dozen of us are gathered together, we make them the main business. . ‘This is a-serious age, the most serious in the history of the world, and it is rapidly approaching its most critical point. Men every- where are thinking and discussing. On the streets, on the cars, on the trains, wherever they get together, intelligent men are express- ‘ing to cach other their interest in what is happening and what is go- ing to happen. The America Negro has more at stake in the present world crisis than any other group in this country; is itSnotithen sothething in the nature of a crime for colored men wheat they get together to wasteztheir entire time in foolishness? F; ‘The world is to-day being made over. Old traditions, old ideas, old conventions, old governments, old civilization are at this moment being broken tp and melted down in the crucible of this great war. And they are all to be shaped and moulded anew. The question comes;-is the American Negro-going to rise to the opportunity of taking a hand in helping to shape and mould thém for the good of his own future? The opportunity is here, but it is going to require serious thought and wise action to take advantage of it. And it can't be done by “comedians.” . The demand of the hour is for earnestness of words and of thoughts and of actions. Colored men and womien everywhere should be concerned with what effect the tremendous forces now at work may have on us as a race. For this effect is going to be great one way or the other. When this crisis is over and the world again settles down, the Negro is going to be either much better off or much worse off. Which it will be depends largely upon what steps he him- self now takes. If the American Negro fully realized the significance of passing events, he would drop the grin and set his jaws and clench his teeth with the determination of gaining from the present upheaval every rightful advantage that he possibly can. 2» Let every thoughtful colored man and woman: make a study of what is now transpiring ;:let them read what is being written on this great world‘crisis by students and thinkers—every newspaper and magazine offers the opportunity, and the public libraries are filled with books on the subject ; let them when they get together exchange ideas and discuss the probable effects that will come to us as a.race; let them try to find the best ways and means of making those effects advantageous. In a word, let us be serious. Let us, for the present at least, cut out the comedy : a THE DANGER OF TREASON. chen the conscription measure was presentative "Nichols of South Car “course, like the majority of Southe ‘ichols could say only one thing, tl ro. Nothing more is to be expec 2. who get to Congress simply beca egro louder and longer than anyl . if there was n&“Negro to “cuss,” than ba Kil tha office of tustica af Last week when the conscription measure was being discussed in Congress, Representative "Nichols of South Carolina had some- thing to say. Of course, like the majority of Southern Congressmen, Representative Nichols could say only one thing, that is, something against the Negro, Nothing mére is to be expected of these 22- calibre statesmen, who get to Congress simply because they are able to “cuss” the Negro louder and longer than anybody clse in the county, and who, if there was ndo‘Negro to “cuss,” would never be able to get higher than to fill the office of justice of the peace. Ji is idle to think that men who are elected to Congress because of their narrowness can take any broad view of the great questions now con- fronting.the country. So it may be taken for granted that the aver: age Southern Representative who does not get an opportunity to butt in on the discussions of Congress with some remark or tirade against the Negro has got to sit quiet and keep his mouth shut; for if he attempted to join in any of these discussions on a plane of statesmanship, he would only show up his own narrowness and ignorance and make a self-demonstrated ass of himself. From the Washington despatch in the New York Sun we clip the following paragraphs, the second of which contains Representa- tive Nichols’ effort toward the solution of the vital problems con- fronting the Government, whith contains the chunk of patriotic wis- dom that he contributes as ong of the statesmen of the nation: Chairman Dent and Representative’ Nichols of South Carolina used. up the time on the majority side. Nichols brought in the race question, which apparently is causing Southern members no-little concern, though ule picjure drawn by Nichols would be impossible under any military statute ever drawn in this country. . “If you put a boy from Mississippi in a Negro regiment from Massa- chusetts,” said Nichols, “you won't have to go to Germany to have war. You will have it right here.” The familiar rebel yell of the Southerners greeted this declaration. Z What dées Representative Nichols mean when he says that the Government wil! have war on its hands right here; without going to Germany for it, if a white boy from Mississippi should be put in a Negro regiment from Massachusetts? Does he mean that white boys from Mississippi would turn their guns against their colored comrades before they would fight alongside of them? If he does, his words sound about as'treasonable as anything we have heag@: Added importance are given to Representative Nichols’ words be: cause, according to the Sun's despatch, they are grected by “the familiar rebel yell of the Southerners.” The word “familiar” is aptly used. ‘The vaulted dome of the Capitol has within the past three or four years, no doubt, become accustomed to the “yell.” Af the United States sends men to the battle front: in France, it is not improbable that white boys from Mississippi will at times find themselves thrown shoulder to shoulder with black boys from Massa- chusetts; we should like Mr. Nichols to tel! us what these. proud, brave Mississippians he speaks of will do under those citcumstances. ee?

UNDER THE DOME OF THE CAPITOL. The writer was present last week when Mr. Moorfigld Storcy argued the Louisville: Segregation Ordinance Case for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People before the Un- ited States Supreme Court at Washington. There were fifteen or twenty representative colored men at the hearing. We should like to have been possessed of the power to sound the inmost thoughts of these colored men and of the white people present and of the Jus- tices on the bench while the two lawyers who pled the case for the other side were talking. . The writer for himself must confess that at times he experienced a strange serisation while listening to the Negro discussed before this highest tribuilal in’ the land as something just outside of American citizenship; indeed, as something just be- low humanity. Both the lawyers for the other side appeared to be able men, and doubtless the reasons they gave were the best that could be given to bolster up and excuse so bad a law, so undemagratic, so un- constitutional a law. But one not familiar with the case might have thonght that they were pleading to have the homes of the white people of the South protected from wild beasts or against the pres- lence of lepers. And as we sat there we wondered how far the pres- fence of so many respectable and intelligent colored men would go to offset such an argument. . At two o'clock Chief Justice White announced a recess of thirty minutes. The writer and two other American citizens, one colored land the other white, went down in the basement to the public lunch room to gét something fo eat. We were met by an employee who, told us we cpuld not he served. When asked why, he informed us that Senator Overman (of North Carolina), on becoming chairnian lof the committee that has charge of the Capitol and grounds, issued lan order that no colored person should be served in either of the lunch rooms. 2 - : ‘This, under the very dome of the Capitol of the greatest. dem- ocracy in the world!

The man who is responsible for the rules that govern the Library building is from the civilized state of Massachusetts. : 5 At two-thirty we returned tothe Court and heard Mr. Storey’s strong plea for right and justice and humanity, and the writer felt that the better and greater part of this nation does stand for right and justice, and will ultimately see that right and justice are done. The Overmans and the Vardamans and the others of their ilk who are now in high places will not and cannot dominate long. They are riding now just as their predecessors did in the fifties, and they are going to fall just the same. om. ‘The basic spirit of America is democracy, and though that spirit is often thwarted it is constantly’struggling forward and will finally prevail. \When the opposing forces were at the height of their strength, the better part of this nation arose and struck down slavery. The better part of this nation changed the organic law of the land and made us‘citizens. And the better part of this nation is going to see that wejare given full and equal justice. ‘The Overmans and the Vardamans and all like them will pass away, the great spirit of democracy will live and press forward for- ever. It only remains for us to try to keep pace with it, and we shall surely come into our own. That is my faith.

There has been much talk about the transfer of large numbers of colored people from Virginia and other South: ern States tithe Northern and Western States, and few people have taken the time to ascertain the reason. The very able business manager of the Chamber of Commerce. in a recent address to the colorest people in this city, plainly stated that the better class of colured people are wanted here. Ie -spoke for him- self and for the better class of white people that he represented. But how are suite of the white people of this community showing. this appreciation? ‘The right te vote has been taken away, the right to property has been vitiated, and now the right to live in peaceful possession of houschold ef- fects, which in many instances have heen’ purchased through a long. pain- ful, expensive system of weekly pay- ments, 1s not only climmated, but the public’ exposure which it entails is add- ed to the embarrassment of an upright, law-abiding people.

W. Jeanette Carter, Manager. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Among the business of persons here is Thomas Wallace Swann of Chicago, who; since the death of Bishop Alexander Walters, has acted in a way as the connecting link between the Democratic party and the Colored Democracy of the country. Mr. Swann has many admirable qualities, one of the best of which is that he is an ardent admirer of THE NEW YORK AGE, and has been for a great many years. Mr. Swann is in close touch with Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, and the department chiefs here, and if he has failed to satisfy the desire of many colored Democracy of the Government payoffs it, is because of no fault of him as he is "on the move" in their interest late and early. Since the deposition of war Mr. Swann has been surer than ever. Hotel, properly equipped and managed, is badly needed here. Many efforts have been made to get one and there is one such on foot now, with Judge Torrell and others interested. I called a prominent citizen's attention to the fact that a big hotel, called the Tyson House, on Seventh street, near Q. northwest, was unoccupied, and had been rented to a business. Dr. William Lims had been erected in the prescense limits that destroyed its liquor license. This might be acquired and renovated, so that it could be made an up-to-date family hotel, such as department workers here need. Suites of two to four rooms could be profitably rented for what such persons now pay for rooms in private houses, in each of the four rooms, in cash, billboard parlor, and ten-pin alley attachments—all revenue makers. He said he knew the owner, and thought the property could be acquired, but did not think the proper capital, capable management and the necessary patronage of the desirable kind could be got and kept, and well his way. After awhile the things were needed, not as to that particular property, perhaps, but as to some desirable property. A. E. Manning, of the Indianapolis World, is in the city and paid the Ace Bureau a visit during the week. Mr. Manning is one of the old guard colored Democrats and has long cooled very near to the large black group in large colored following in Marion County, as Carter Harrison used to have in Cook County, Ill., because, as the Democratic leader in Indianapolis, he has always looked after his colored supporters as well as after his white ones. Mr. Manning often talks to friends and has a host of friends here who are always glad to welcome him. Rev. W. A. Taylor and his wife have the sympathy of a large number of our citizens in the death of their only daughter. Miss Blanche Oliver Taylor. She was an active Sunday School worker and school organist of her father's church, the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. She was buried last Sunday from the church, Rev. M. W. D. Norman, of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, assisted by Drs. W. J. Howard, W. B. Jarvis, J. Harvey Randolph, George W. Bretschneider and Holland Powell. The Ministers' Union was well represented. There were many floral tributes. "The Queen's Rally Pageant," under the auspices of Bethel Literary, Tuesday evening, April 24, was one of the most successful things of the sort that has taken place here. The presentation was under the supervision of Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, as director; Miss M. A D Madre, manager; A. S. Pinkett, president of Bethel Literary, and Rev. Stephanue, pastor of the church. The latter attended and a large sum of money was realized. The following was the program: Chris Bayer, John Taylor, Anna Toney, Anaika MacMillian, Jones, Gibson, Taylor, Martin Eckert, and Louise White. Entre Act-Action, Mrs. Frances Crowder and Mr. Chas Wesley.

Part three consisted of Crowning the Queen of Queens.

Charles Sumner Hill, an attorney-at-law and District Grand Master of Odd Fellow Lodges, delivered an address before the Woman Wage-Earners' Association, at 704 Tea street, N. W. for Efficiency, at 754 Tea street, Sunday afternoon. On Wednesday, the splendid advice gained. It was decided that the Association would have several community gardens and ground was donated by members of the Association. Mrs. Wormily donated a farm with fruit trees at Hermond, Va. A representative of the Boy Scouts offered the services of the Scouts to attend the gardens. The meeting was very attended. Miss Jennette Carter, the president, presided. The National Federation of Christian Women of Baltimore held a rousing meeting Sunday afternoon, at Union Baptist Church, the object being to assist in raising the amount necessary to pay off the incumbance of the home and to beautify the premises. Miss Ida Cummings, president of the Federation, secured the services of Major Charles Douglass to speak and to give some incidents of the home life of Douglass. A goodly sum was raised. After the meeting an informal reception was held at the residence of Miss Gummings, on Druid Hill avenue, in honor of Major and Mrs. Douglass. Ministers Lyon and Vivie assisted in the reception, which was largely attended. Light refreshments were served. Many distinguished men and women were present in the Supreme Court of the United States last Friday and heard the arguments in the famous segregation cases. The cases in which at least one of the states up from Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Virginia. The case which was actually argued was that of Buchanan vs. the City of Louisville, Ky., in which Buchanan, a white man, is the appellant. There were several colored members of the Bar of the Supreme Court present who occupied seats reserved within the city, including Judge Robert H. Terrell, James A. Cobh, Francie Warren of Detroit and Attorney Pollard of Richmond, the last named having worked on segregation cases in Virginia for the past five years. W. Ashie Hawkins, of Baltimore, filed a complaint against the colored people of that city. Among them Court were A. H. Grime, James W. Johnson, of New York; Rev. P. J. Grime, Profs.

Seth Shepard, of Texas, Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, retired from office after having served in that court for thirty-five years. The event was of peculiar interest to the colored people because of the splendid record of Judge Shepard as a fair and just magistrate in all matters that have come before him. The colored members of the Bar speak of him in high terms. The Bar Association of the District and Patent Lawyers Association of America bodies presented to the retiring Chief Justice costly presents. In the place of distinction reserved for the Judges of the courts of the Districts as guests of honor, it was pleasing to note that Judge Robert H. Terrell occupied a conspicuous place.

Apr. 24-Sun E NATIONAL ANTHEM (BY LESTER A WALTON.) MERICANS have a national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," which, in times like these, is supposed to fill us with at love and devotion for our entry, carrying us to the highest uss of patriotic fervor. But, does "The Star-Spangled Banner" serve as the nation's torch and invariably kindle the spirit of patriotism? Since the United States declared war against Germany I have attended performances at various theatres where the playing of the national anthem was an important number of the musical program. In every instance theatregoers stood up when the piece was being played in a most perfunctory sort of manner, and I have seen some who did not get up at all. Not once do I recall a spontaneous outburst of song and a display of unbridled enthusiasm such as the French people evince upon hearing played their national anthem, "The Marseillaise." When I witness the matter-of-fact way in which "The Star-Spangled Banner" is received by Americans in public the impression flits across my mind that there must be something wrong somewhere. I do not think the people can be charged with apathy, neither am I of the opinion that they are unemotional or phlegmatic. As to their patriotism, it is not to be question. What we need in this country is an anthem whose music, in particular, and words are more in keeping with the spirit of the times. Such songs as "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "America" seem very much out of keeping with American life today. Their tempo is a bit slow, lacking the quickening pulsations which exemplify true Americanism of this period. To use the expression of the stage, we need a national anthem with a "punch" to it. An up-to-date national anthem would set the entire country ablaze with patriotic ardor, and there would be no need for "Wake Up, America" parades, for the song would do the work. Months before the break between the United States and Germany, "Dixie," when played in New York theatres, attracted more attention than "The Star-Spangled Banner." I have seen those evidently hailing from the South vociferously applauding this number, while some of our most patriotic airs were indifferently received by the entire audience. Many not born in the Southland began to show a liking for "Dixie" because of its enlivening melody. When our soldiers marched on the battlefield in the Spanish-American war they walked to the tune of "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town." While the words were appropriate, the tempo to the music was equally so. They found more inspiration in this song than in "The Star-Spangled Banner." And there is a question in my mind as to whether they would have reached the top of San Juan Hill had they kept time to the slow music of some of our anthems with the Spaniards not far off. The rank and file of good, loyal American citizens are willing to be moved by a patriotic air and anxious to throw up their hats in a theatre and in other public places, but unless the song possesses thrillers there is very little likelihood of any "acting foolish" being done. That we are greatly in need of a new national anthem is a fact well known to song writers and members of the theatrical profession. For years composers, great and small, have been ambitious to write a big patriotic hit, one which might be proclaimed by the public as the nation's favorite anthem. But somehow this ambition has not been realized up to the present. Music publishers are now work- ing overtime putting out patriotic songs. You hear of a new one every day. Some are good, others not so good. None is great; that is, great enough to set the nation to singing it and to so inspire the men that they rush to enlist with the same zeal that "Billy" Sunday's hearers "hit the trail." GREEK DRAMA GIVEN IN NEW ORLEANS NEW ORLEANS, La.—It was a fine entertainment that the Corpus Christi Dramatic Club offered in its presentation of "Diana or Christ," in the Temple Theatre Monday, April 23, for the benefit of Corpus Christi Chuch. The preparation of the cast was under the direction of R. E. Felton and the result deserved the commendation it elicited from friends and critics. The music was by Gonnet de la Horne, Orchestra of W. F. McNeil, director. The "Ideal Overture" from Daniel was received with great applause. Throughout the five acts, the orchestra harmonized its music with the scenes and actions and helped to produce the effects desired. Several good songs, "Just a Word of Sympathy," by Miss Mary Samana; "Memories," by Ferdinand Montegut; "Forever with the Lord," by Mrs. John Mary; "O Sole Meo," by J. L. Major; "The Holy City," by Mrs. Emile Lebeard; received deserved applause. Prof. M. S. Steward gave a violin solo, "Polish National Dance," which was well received. Miss Gladys Kinchen and Prof. Steward, in a piano duet, won applause playing "In aiam Tuet, saxonone with very much amelioration." Prof. Carrete rendered a violin solo which called forth rounds and F. Felton, Miss Olga Lavigne, Miss rounds of encores and applause. The cast of characters included: R. Bertha Montegut, Ferdinand Montegut, H. Quetant, A. Hopkins, H. Taitt, Miss C. Morney.

At the first meet the soldier boys scored heavily against the local teams. Out of the 18 events the 25th Infantry won 12. The points scored by the 25th were 75, which was nearly as large an amount as scored by the First and Second teams combined. Corporal Simon was the star of the meet. He won in the 220 yard run and the broad jump in great form. Private Robinson won the mile run, after being hard pressed by Uweloa of the K. A. M. A. C. Gilbert of the 25th captured the 100-yard dash. Ware won the 440-yard dash and Robinson ran second in the 880-yard run. The shotput was captured by Private Caroline. Kelley of the 25th surprised everyone by winning the high jump. In the 880-yard relay the boys from the 25th won easily (Simon, Gilbert, Ware and Mills). At the second meet which was held by the Y. M. C. A. Benjamin Mills of the 25th was the feature of the meet. He made a wonderful showing, equaling the world's record in the 75-yard race. The Mills made his time running against a motorcycle. He was off like a shot and at the finish came in strong. Sunday at Ridgewood Field the Bushwick club opened its home season against the crack Royal Giants, the colored team, shutting out Bushwick 7 to 0. Langford decorated the mound for the "Florida winter leaguers" and was in the mid-season form, allowing but seven scattered singles and being in control of the situation at all times. Girard, for Bushwick, pitched a good game, but the Royals landed on his delivery for seven singles in a row in the sixth inning and sewed up the game. So Flannery, the East Orange boy, played a fine game at short for Bushwick. "Fordham" Frank Egan, Brown, Sneider and Taguer played in good style. Earle, Handy, Santon, Pugh and Miller batted well for the Royals. The two Chinese boys from the University of Hawaii, Mark and Lat Tin, both showed a fine brand of ball. On next Sunday Bushwick plays the Patterson club in the first game and the Philadelphia Professionals in the Royal Giants ___000005110-7 Bushwick ROYALS VS. LINCOLNS. Sunday next at Lincoln Field, 8th street and Fifth avenue, these two of time rivals, the Lincoln Giants and to Royal Giants, will clash in a do-it-yourself commencing at 1:30 p.m. games will be the first of the annual series for the colored chassis and as a great feeling exists between the teams a hard fought diamond battle is due to result in both games. The royals will pin their faith in "Strong Lions" Williams, their" sensational other, while Santop will do the reviewing. In the second game Harvey and either Gatewood or Webster will be in the points. The Lincoln Giants will oppose them with their old standby battery in the first game, presenting "Cyclone" Joe Williams and Wiley, while in the second game "Smiling" Dick Redding will do the heaving for his teammates. Both clubs will appear in their new uniforms for the season. ANTHRACITE GIANTS The Anthracite Giants have reorganized under new management.

At no stage of the bout could it be classed as a slow one, for both boys were in good form, and gave a speedy exhibition. Eight of the ten rounds could be easily classed as Leo's, but in the last two rounds Yoakum seemed to be determined to score a knockout but Leo was too clever for him. Augie Ranter outpointed Young Mike Donovan in the preliminary bout. WARREN WINS AT CHESS Harold E. Simmelkjaer and, C. T. Warren completed on last Wednesday evening their match for the amateur colored chess championship. The score was 10 games to 6 in favor of Mr. Warren. The standard of play was however, the same opponents between the same opponents won by Mr. Simmelkjaer last. August. This year Mr. Simmelkjauer's best energies were distracted by his haping to prepare as one of the speakers for the Douglas Center Club in its debate with Lincoln University on April 30, and secondly because of Mr. Warren's indisposition on evenings when there should have been play, which besides inconveniencing his opponent, caused so many postponements that it was necessary to play four long and fatiguing games, on the last night of the match which, of course, was not conducive to high class play. The true summary was: Warren, won 9 and drew 2 games; Simmelkjauer, won 5 and drew 2 games. BULLIARD NOTES.

Both he and the mayor have been excellent officials and have rendered good service, but the temperance people fear that they are not their friends, especially from the attitude they in Haliash for protection in Haliash. We are told that the new Board will consist of several men who are interested in liquor business to the extent at least of desiring to further its cause. The temperance forces must see to their fences if they are not to be defeated in their plan to give us a dry city. James Tabb is still confined to his room with illness.

The year of work in vocational guidance for colored girls of the Manhattan Trade School, closed May 1 when Mrs. Gertrude McDougald, secretary of the Committee of Management, rendered her final report. This work in the interest of colored girls followed three lines: First, the work of guiding the public school graduates to the vocation most suited to their peculiar abilities; second, the work of inspiring the girl while in school tomore accurate work and to develop the best possible opportunities and habits; third, the work of securing positions for colored girls in shops which had hitherto been closed to them. The measure, of the success of the work is seen in the eagerness with which both principals and teachers of the public schools have co-operated in sifting out better material among the colored school graduates for the Manhattan Trade School. In order to develop the girls personally a club composed of practically every girl in the school has been conducted. Visits by the girls have been made to the various museums, especially the Museum of Science, where could study customs in dress of all peoples in the past. Meetings have also been held at which successful designers and dressmakers have addressed the girls on the qualities needed for successful work in their chosen lines of work. The principal and teachers of the Manhattan Trade School have testified to a marked improvement in the records of the students and of the girls in their trade life. The efforts to find for the girls jobs in new lines of work have resulted in opening up many new shops and in the friendship of the colored girl have been enlisted; and the labor organizations, which have been closed to colored girls, have become convinced that the time has arrived for organizing the colored girl worker along with her white sister. The first secretary of this committee, Miss Naomi B. Spencer, served from February, 1916, to July, 1916, when the school year closed, and Douglas Doughty, of November 1916, an effort is now being made to secure a colored union organizer for the colored garment workers. The final report of Mrs. McDougald's work was made at a conference of representatives of twenty-six organizations interested in the work of the Presidency of Miss Virginia Potter, on Tuesday of last week. As a result of this movement, a plan is now on foot to have a hearing before, the Vocational Committee of the Board of Education, to discuss the future training facilities for all girls, white and colored, throughout New York City.
