District Att Inquiry In Richard District Attorney Swan Orders Inquiry Into Brutal Murder of Richard Hill By the Police (Special to TUK New York Age) As the result of a race riot in the turday evening, in which the police, protecting citizens; lost their heads Hill, 30 years old, residing at 210 murdered in cold blood; E. Great third street, was shot in the leg, and the thigh. All the victims were Neg by police officers who have no more arms than a child. As the result of a race riot in the "San Juan Hill" District Saturday evening, in which the police, instead of maintaining order and protecting citizens; lost their heads and went on a rampage, Richard Hill, 30 years old, residing at 210 West Sixty-fourth Street, was murdered in cold blood; E. Greaves, a grocer at 227 West Sixty-third street, was shot in the leg, and his niece, Dorothy, wounded in the thigh. All the victims were Negroes, and the offenses committed by police officers who have no more right to be entrusted with firearms than a child. The ruthless killing of Richard Hill and the amateurish manner in which officers sworn to protect the law acted last Saturday evening when scores of offensive colored citizens were assaulted by white toughs, aided and encouraged by the police, have provoked a storm of condemnation from the colored people throughout Manhattan. In the Columbus Hill District, formerly known as "San Juan Hill," a committee of Negroes has been organized and the shooting of Hill by the police put before District Attorney Swann: Tuesday a delegation from that section called on the District Attorney, presented the facts in the case and demanded that the guilty policemen be indicted for murder. Members of the committee were assured by Mr. Swann that an investigation of the shooting would be conducted at once. W. Sixty-third street there was not a white person in the block except those engaged in business; that there were no colored men threatening to assault the police; that there was not a brick or bottle thrown by a person in the Sixty-third street block, but that bricks and bottles were thrown from white people on Amsterdam avenue. Funeral services were held over the remains of Richard Hill Wednesday evening from the undertaking establishment of William G. Rabain, 212 W Sixty-first street, the Rev. John Wesley Johnson, officiating. The murderer man leaves a widow and two brothers. After having been shot by the police Mr. Greaves was arrested and held a prisoner at Bellevue Hospital as a material witness, the police making an effort to cover up their recklessness. Several organizations have offered to The committee is made up of the Rev. George H. Sims, pastor of Union Baptist Church; the Rev. John Wesley Johnson, pastor of St. Cyprian's Chapel; Fred R. Moore, Dr. St. Clair Jones, William G. Rabain, John E. Gates, Alfred Smith, S. H. Gunn, Isiah Travers, J. J. Stokes, John Joseph, Geo. Smith, Isiah Patrick, Charles Small, Luther Hudson, William H. Thomas, Page Monroe, Jessie Deross, Williams Gaskin, Richard Green, L. L. Vann, Philip Jnoes, James Tynes, D. E. Tobias, Jordan V. Tucker, George Smallwood, David C. Outle and J. R. Wig Most Disgraceful of Riots. During the past fourteen years there have been a number of race riots in the "San Juan Hill" section, but that of last Saturday is said to have been the most uncalled for as well as the most disgraceful, made so by reason of the ruffianism displayed by the police, who vied with the toughs of the "Gas Tank District" in doing Negroes bodily harm without rhyme or reason. The police were rebuffed for their undue activity in the Fifty-fourth Street Police Court Monday morning when Benjamin Hamilton, who was the cause of the riot, was dismissed for disorderly conduct, as were two other men. Two defendants were fined $10 each. An interesting feature of the riot and the unenviable part played by the police was brought out in court by Counsel David C. Outlear, who showed that while white and colored people were engaged in fighting not a white person was arrested, although the district indictors for its white crimes. It was the race riot that although the race occurred on Amsterdam avenue, from Sixty-first street to Sixty-fifth street, the police did all the killing and injuring on Sixty-third street, which is occupied by Negroes. Richard Hill had nothing to do with the root, according to eye witnesses, but because he ran down the street, a police officer, who had just alighted from a car, pulled out his revolver and shot him through the neck. The man was killed in front of 227 W. Sixty-third street, where E. Greaves and his niece W. Greaves were customers. The police shot him to the ground and injured Greaves and niece is mystery which only can be explained by the officers themselves. Refused Drink in Saloon. When Benjamin Hamilton and a white friend went into a saloon at Sixty-first street and Amsterdam avenue, ordered two drinks of lemon selzer, they were told the drinks would cost fifty cents each. Hamilton told his friend not to buy the drinks and left the saloon. The toughs in the saloon, said to have been in bad humor all day because many of the members of the Home guard were Hebrews and had been doing duty all Saturday in the place of the regular police, went outside and knocked Hamilton down, beating and kicking him. He regained his feet and began to run for his life in the direction of Sixty-first street, several hundred white persons giving chase. The mob then started to assault colored person seen on the streets. At Sixty-third street and Amsterdam avenue the police entered the saloon and ordered every Negro out, threatening to shoot. Then one of the other fired a shot. The colored men rushed out of the saloon and were met by a mob. It was out of this saloon that Richard Hill ran, continuing west on Sixty-third street with three officers less than fifteen feet behind him. Although at no time a good distance from Hill the police began shooting and it was in front of 227 W. Sixty-third street that he shrew up his hands, having been shot three times. Members of the committee have witnesses who, when produced in court, will prove that during all the time Hill ran from the corner of Sixty-third street and Amsterdam avenue to 227 W. Sixty-third street there was not a white person in the block except those engaged in business; that there were no colored men threatening to assault the police; that there was not a brick or bottle thrown by a person in the Sixty-third street block, but that bricks and bottles were thrown from white people on Amsterdam avenue. Funeral services were held over the remains of Richard Hill Wednesday evening from the undertaking establishment of William G. Rabain, 212 W. Sixty-first street, the Rev. John Wesley Johnson, officiating. The murdered man leaves a widow and two brothers. After having been shot by the police, Mr. Greaves was arrested and held a prisoner at Bellevue Hospital as a material witness, the police making an effort to cover up their recklessness. Several organizations have offered to co-operate with the Columbus Hill Committee in its efforts to see that the police who took part in the shooting are severely punished. TAKE LAW IN OWN HANDS IN E. ST. LOUIS (Special to The New York Am) East St. Louis, Ill. Three white men, were shot by a mortal friend between 9 and 10 o'clock Tuesday night, in a continuation of the race riots which began Monday night, in which many Negroes were shot and injured by ruffians. Negroes, armed with shot-guns, rifles and revolvers, massed in their sections of the city and several clashes occurred. Early in the evening three Negroes were shot, one probably fatally. One of the colored-men shot was on his way to work when he was accosted by a white man, who demanded to know his destination. He refused to answer and the white man shot him. A few minutes later another Negro was shot by a mob of whites when it was learned that he had declared the blacks would "put up a fight" if any trouble broke out. Two white men were taken to St. Mary's Hospital in a serious condition as a result of gunshot wounds. Their identity has not been established. They were unarmed. The race riots began shortly after a committee from the labor unions met with members of the City Council to protest against further importation of Negroes from the South to work in the stockyards and packing plants ROCHESTER ELKS BUY (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) ROCHESTER, N. Y. — Flower City Lodge No 91, Independent Protective Order of Elks of the World, have duly authorized a subscription for one hundred dollars to the bonds of the Liberty Loan, recently authorized by Congress to carry on the war. The action of lodge reflects credit on the race for this city and will likely point the way for other organizations to prove their patriotism. TWO BOSTON SOLDIERS (Special to The New York Age) PORTSMOUTH, N. H.-Privates Edward O. Watson and J. A Smith of Company L, Sixth Massachusetts Regiment, were instantly killed by an express train on the Boston & Maine Railroad, while guarding a bridge near the town of Newmarket, 10 miles north of here, last Friday. Private Smith had returned but a few hours from Boston, where he had been called to the bedside of his sick wife. $10 REWARD!

WHITES ROB NEGROES SAYS SOUTHERN MAYOR (Special to The New York Aob) MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The State of Alabama has lost over 50,000 Negroes since the great migration movement, and many white people have become greatly alarmed over the loss of so many colored people from this section. The following startling charge has been made against the white people of the South by Mayor W. T. Robertson in speaking of the unfair treatment to which Negroes have been subjected since the Civil War: "There is money in farming, lots of it, but the Negro farmer has been systematically robbed by the white man since the close of the Civil War. They haven't been treated right and no one can blame them for quitting the soil. If the Negro farmers would be returned all the interest in excess of 8 per cent, charged them for money advanced them, they would today be living in brownstone mansions, just as the rich white advancers do. How the Negro has been treated is borne out by an instance which happened last week. An old Negro came to me and asked me if I could 'advance' him this year. I asked him if he had a 'falling out' with his white folks. He replied that his white folks, who had been making money off him for twenty-five years, had decided to refuse him any credit this year, as they feared he was growing old and perhaps would die before another crop was made." NOW DOCTORS REFUSE TO MEET AT MEMPHIS (Special to The New York Act) Memphis, Tenn.—The meeting of the National Medical Association, which was to have been held in this city August 28 to 30, has been changed and the session will probably be held in Philadelphia or Atlantic City on the same dates. The immediate reason for this change of place of meeting is the savage and barbarous acts perpetrated in connection with the lynching and burning of the Negro, Persons, in the vicinity of Memphis. To cap the climax of this barbarity, the recent meeting of the Tri-State Medical Association was interrupted by members of the mob of lynchers, bringing the head of the burned man and throwing it into the midst of the delegates while in session. The local committee has therefore requested that the meeting place be changed. WASHINGTON, D. C.—With dreams of wealth unrealized and faith in prompters destroyed, homesick American Negroes have petitioned the Acting Governor of the Gold Coast Colony in Africa to send them back to Texas, which they left in 1914 under the sway of the arguments of "Chief Sam," who pictured lives of ease. They turned over to "Chief Sam" varying sums of money, with the understanding that he would land them on the Gold Coast, where they would receive titles to their own land. Ambassador Spring-River has notified the State Department that the indications are that "Chief Sam" grossly missed the immigrants and finally deserted them, leaving many in destitution. Whether any governmental assistance will be given to the Negroes so they may return to the cotton fields of Texas is not announced.

FIFTEENTH REGIMENT IS BACK FROM PEEKSKILL FIFTEENTH REGIMENT IS BACK FROM PEEKSKILL The Fifteenth Regiment, just from a two weeks and a half stay at the State Rifle Range, Peekskill, made an excellent showing in the Decoration Day parade, and was repeatedly cheered. Nearly 1,300 strong, the regiment passed the reviewing stand occupied by Gov. Whitman and Mayor Mitchel, the men acting like veterans. The Fifteenth reached New York from Peekskill Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock, detraining at Eleventh avenue and Sixth street. Col Harward and his men at once marched to River side Drive and took their place in line. At Ninety-sixth street and Riverside drive the Fifteenth proceeded east on Ninety-ninth to Central Park West, thence north to 125th street, thence east on 125th street to the Harlem River Casino, which is being used as regimental headquarters. Both officers and enlisted men profited greatly by their training at Peekskill. Last Friday the regiment was reviewed by Gov. Whitman and staff, and the State's chief executive expressed himself as being very much pleased with the showing the colored soldiers made. The Governor's party remained at camp from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 3 o'clock at night. 30 YEARS FIGHT FOR SUFFRAGAN BISHOP Election of Archdeacon Russell Marks First Fruits of Struggle by Colored Churchmen. BEGAN THEIR FIGHT IN 1887 First Negro Suffragan Bishop Was Born in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, in 1887—Established St. Paul's Industrial School, Lawrenceville, Virginia in 1888. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGR.) BALTIMORE, Md.—The election of Archdeacon Russell as suffragan bishop by the diocese of Arkansas marks the first fruits of a struggle on the part of the colored churchmen that has been carried on in the Episcopal Church for more than a quarter of a century. The demand for representation in the episcopate was first formally voiced at the convocation of chuch workers among the colored people, when the late Dr. Alexander Crummell was regarded as the logical candidate for the position. When the position of suffragan bishop was first authorized by the general convention of the church, there was a decided reluctance to extend its benefits to the race for whom it was ostensibly adopted. The first suffragans chosen were white clergy designated to assist the bishops of certain dioceses in their work. The Diocese of Arkansas has been the first diocese to carry out the original purpose of the innovation. The Rev. James S. Russell, the first clergyman of the race to whom this honor has fallen, was born in Mecklenburg County, Va., in 1857. He attended Hampton School and Bishop Payne Divinity School. He was ordained as deacon in 1882 and as priest in 1887, by the late Bishop Whittle. In 1888 he established St. Paul's Industrial School at Lawrenceville, Va., where his work has won great commendation, both in and out of the church. Commenting upon the appointment, Archdeacon George F. Bragg, Jr., one of the leaders in the movement to secure racial representation in the episcopate, said in the Church Advocate: "Why should we not rejoice? But a few months after our ordination to the diocese, in 1887, when we were far below the requisite age to be made a bishop, even had we been, at that time, a priest, we set up our banner for 'Negro Bishops!' If one will consult the titles of the New York Churchman, June or July, 1887, he will there find our maiden proposition, suggesting a division of the Southern States into four missionary jurisdictions and the election of as many Negro bishops. No one could have accused us of 'ambition' seeing that we could not in any way be benefited by the adoption of the suggestion. From that time to the present, under all circumstances, and in the face of all kinds of opposition, we have blazed away according to the early 'vision' vouchsafed its. The chief opponent of this 'vision' was a warm personal friend. In his early seminary days, the same roof covered us both. Our own beloved mother, in Paradise, 'mothered' him, as well as us. We attended school together, and we studied together. We were born in adjoining states, and adjoining counties. The same priest presented us both for confirmation, and the same good bishop thrived his hands upon our heads. But it seemed to he our destiny to be leaders of a contest on opposite sides. Both of us seem to have won. We have won our contention, not, however, in its fulness; he has won the 'fruit', and will assume the responsibility of giving interpretation to another's 'vision'. "While our great warfare is over, and we feel deep down in our heart that we have been faithful to the trust, and that we sustain the love and affection of our brethren of the black priesthood, who, all these years, constituted us, their special representative of the cause, we would be less than human if we were not minded to watch with much anxiety the quality and strength of interpretation given to the Leadership of the Racial Episcopate.

Further comment on the reign of mob-law in this country is not necessary. We wonder, what Germany thinks when she hears of Americans accusing her of savagery! Must compare our accusations to the case of "the pot calling the kettle black." A POPULAR PASTIME. "Two trucks loaded with bottled drinks did a land office business." "Women with children in their arms stampeded with several hundred men in the rush for souvenirs." "Conspicuous among the mob were several vendors of sandwiches and chewing gum. Their sales were enormous." "Of those who remained throughout the night, some, were singing practically all the time. 'John Brown's Body,' 'My Old Kentucky Home,' and other familiar refrains were the favorites. Deep bass was heard, and now and then the soprano of some woman." The above paragraphs might seem to relate to the outing of some political or social organization bent on harmless relaxation, but they are taken from the "Lynch Bulletins," published in the Memphis News Scimitar, when a mob burned a Negro at the stake near that city, last week. In the days of decadent Rome, we read that Christians were slaughtered to make a Roman holiday, thus combining a religious duty with popular entertainment Heretics were burned at the stake in England a century or two back to illustrate the verities of the Christian faith. But it was generally believed that modern civilization had progressed beyond that stage. It is left for the white South to demonstrate that the punishment of crime is compatible with merrymaking and feasting. If the cir- Commission of the police, and against the victim of the mob are to be credited, the law would have given him short shrift. He is said to have confessed to the brutal murder of a fifteen year old school girl. But a community that could make the avowed punishment of such a crime an occasion for festivity, is not far removed from savagery itself. It is such manifestations as this that make the thoughtful grieve for the future of democracy in this country. While the putting to death of this Negro might come under the head of cruel and unusual punishment, the breeding of the blood lust in the mob that participated in it is the greater crime against civilization. IMPERFECT DEMOCRACY. There is one word in the English language which is being worked overtime by the daily press in its desire to impress upon readers that this Government is one of the people and for the people, and that is the word "Democracy." "Democracy is Triumphant," was the caption of a news article in the New York Evening Sun of May 20, in telling of the mingling on a common level of millionaires and former office boys at Plattsburg. The first paragraph reads: The Plattshurg training camp makes strange company mates Bankers rub shoulders with Wall Street, elgirks; millionaires drill alongside of erstwhile office boys and deep seen thinkers carry riles beside those whose minds are bent on cloud exploration. As Lieut-Col. Wolf, commandant of the camp, has remarked, Democracy is the word with this camp. And yet with "Democracy triumphant" at Plattsburg, where citizens are being trained to become officers under the supervision of the United States Government, colored men, no matter what station they may occupy in life, are excluded for fear of raising a social problem, as the colored men would have to eat and mingle with the white men. In order to promote this kind of "democracy" the Government finds it necessary to provide separate camps for the training of Negroes, but to date no provisions have been made that white and colored men fight separately on the battle field or the separately There is but one country of prominence today where pure, unadulterated democracy exists, and that is in France. There men are permitted to enlist in regiments according to ability. The color of their skin has nothing to do with the regiment to which they are assigned. As for America, with its "Jim Crowism," segregation, lynchings and disfranchisements, its 'democracy' is the most imperfect of all, and will be until cured of its "color-phobia." EDUCATING THE SOUTH. EDUCATING THE SOUTH. There are indications of an educative movement among the leading white newspapers of the South that is full of promise for a betterment of the relation of the two races in that section. This is an incidental outgrowth of the migration movement toward the North on the part of the laboring masses. If the exodus had accomplished nothing more than this, to make the thinking element of that section among the whites stop and consider the reasons why the Negro is anxious to leave the South, it would be worth something. It is worth something when the Savannah News announces that the time has come to consider the Negro in the South calmly, with an unprejudiced, mind, and to attempt to understand him, without relying on preconceived notions. When the questions at issue can be taken up in this spirit, there will be some chance for the true facts of the case to get a hearing and careful consideration. The News insists that whether the whites of the South desire it or not, economic conditions will compel them to think seriously and calmly about the Negro, and FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Here is an editorial from the careful reading. There is a three-pointed out in this column several ways that "selective conscription" is. The Negro problem is in the national problem.

It is ordered by such labor migrations, then the Council of power, and if that power is lacking it shall. The one solution seems to be the mobilization has been done in Europe, and setting this labor needed in crop production." Sentences reveal what is undoubtedly in the mind in Congress. Many ways of stopping the run from the South have been tried, but all of them, under "selective conscription" this moves the ground of military necessity for crop耕. And more than that if the power is exercised can be mobilized in the North and taken part of the country to work on the farms. In our article on selective conscription we mention of the southerners to keep the Negro conscript him for work on the farms and that expressed to us the opinion that the Negro object. Well, just think over how the third piece. After the war has just started, and we can say that selects white men to go to the battle fields to the farms will work out in the beginning, it is going to work out as the war goes on. Here is an editorial from the St. Louis Republic that will bear careful reading. There is a threat in it of something which we pointed out in this column several weeks ago in commenting on the way that "selective conscription" might be made to work out. The Negro problem is in the way of becoming more than ever a national problem. The need for labor is nation wide and is about to become more pressing. Thousands of Negroes are finding their way to the North. They are being openly recruited in all the Southern States, and the exodus from Dixie has been under way for a year. The South is protesting at being robbed of her labor when she needs it most, and the North is beginning to hear protests from her own people because of the influx. East St. Louis is openly resentful at the arrival of the blacks, while South Carolinians have recently appealed to the Council of National Defense to put an end to the movement out of the Southern plantations where the Negroes are needed. The Negro is always willing to come North, though he may long for the South after he gets here. Just now the need of farm labor is more pressing than any other, yet the Negro is being taken from the South, a district that is markedly agricultural. It is a matter that, if it is to be handled and restricted, guided and developed in any way, can be dealt with only by the Council of National Defense. If production is to be hindered by such labor migration, then the Council should act if it has the power, and if that power is lacking it should be furnished. Certainly the South is worried over the hegira of the Negro plantation labor. Planters cannot hope to compete with railways and industrial plants in the matter of labor. However, so long as men have a right to travel from State to State, selling their labor where it is wanted, there is nothing that the South can do about it. The one solution seems to be the mobilization of farm labor, as has been done in Europe, and setting this labor to work where it is needed in crop production. In that way the South can keep her labor and the North can find it where it new seems non-existent. Mark well these two sentences, "It is a matter that, if it is to be handled and restricted, guided and developed in any way, can be dealt with only by the Council of National Defense. If production is to be hindered by such labor migrations, then the Council should act if it has the power, and if that power is lacking it should be furnished." "The one solution seems to be the mobilization of farm labor, as has been done in Europe, and setting this labor to work where it is needed in crop production." These sentences reveal what is undoubtedly in the minds of the southerners in Congress. Many ways of stopping the movement of Negroes from the South have been tried, but all of them have failed. Nevertheless, under "selective conscription" this movement can be stopped on the ground of military necessity for crop production in the South. And more than that if the power is exercised to the limit, Negroes can be mobilized in the North and taken South or to any other part of the country to work on the farms. When in our article on selective conscription we stated that it was the intention of the southerners to keep the Negro out of the army, and conscript him for work on the farms and the roads, several persons expressed to us the opinion that the Negro would have no cause to object. Well, just think over how the thing will work out in practice. However, the war has just started, and we can see how conscription that selects white men to go to the battle fields, and colored men to go to the farms will work out in the beginning, but we wonder how it is going to work out as the war goes on A NEW EFFORT FOR CENSORSHIP.

More than once he has proved that he does not take failure at first for an answer. He is again displaying this trait in fighting for the censorship provisions in the espionage bill. Congress has once thrown out the censorship section, but the administration comes back with an amended section; and if President Wilson's long line of successes in just such clashes with Congress does not break here, he will have his own way. One of the curious things about this fight over the freedom of the press is that, with few exceptions, the great newspapers of the country are opposing the measure only in a very weak way. Several papers, however, are quite outspoken. They see in this effort to muzzle the press a plan to shield members of the administration and their subordinates from criticism for their inefficiency and mistakes in conducting the war. There is no doubt that most of the men now in charge of government affairs are men who have not had experience in handling big international questions, they simply have not had the practice; and although nobody wants to throw any cold water just now, there are some distinctly audible murmurs about a few things that have been done and about many things that have not been done. The colored newspapers have a peculiar interest in this censorship section of the espionage bill, because already they have many particular and just reasons for criticising those in power, and the probabilities are that, they are going to have a great many more that it is necessary to put a stop to the persecution of Negroes, such as exists in certain counties of Georgia. More, must be done to make his living conditions more attractive and healthful. These are the things, or at least some of them, that the Negro has been pleading for through the southern race press and other channels for a long time. Now that his plea has received recognition in such exponents of white sentiment as the News, the education of the public sentiment of the South along these lines had fair to be accelerated A sudden revulsion of sentiment cannot naturally be expected, as --- St. Louis Republic that will bear out in it of something which we weeks ago in commenting on the might be made to work out.

But it does not seem too much to expect that the heaven of justice and a square deal persistently advocated by the leading organs of white opinion may in time educate the White South up to the point where it may administer the remedies for migration which it holds in its own hands. Outside pressure and sentiment have hitherto failed to bring about any radical change in the relation of the South toward the Negro. We shall see if it can be educated in that respect by its own teachers. Perhaps there is not in the City of New York a more discriminating dramatic critic than George Jean Nathan of "Smart Set." Mr. Nathan is not only a dramatic critic, but he is an authority on the drama; being the author of many books and articles on that branch of art. Each year Mr. Nathan gives a survey of the New York theatrical season. In the current number of "Smart Set" he gives the survey of the season just past, and names what he considers the ten best plays, the ten best performances by actors and the ten best performances by actresses. In the list of the ten actors giving the best performances in New York during the past season, Mr. Nathan names two as tied for seventh place; they are Fritz Leiber in the "Merchant of Venice" and Opal Cooper in "The Rider of Dreams." In the list of the ten actresses giving the best performances, Mr. Nathan names for ninth place Inez Clough in "Simon the Cyrenian." For those who may not know, we say that Opal Cooper and Inez Clough are both colored performers who took part in the productions recently given by the Colored Players. Of course, the order of merit that Mr. Nathan awards to the performances of these various actors and actresses is entirely arbitrary; some other critic would probably arrange them differently; in fact, might omit several of the names which Mr. Nathan has included; but the mere fact that George Jean Nathan, who, by-the-way, is one of the most "cruel critics" in New York, does include Mr. Cooper and Miss Clough in his lists is proof beyond doubt that the work of these two colored performers reached an exceptionally high level measured by the soundest standards of criticism. The great satisfaction comes from the fact that the work of these two artists was measured not by an intermediate standard, but by the highest standard of criticism. Mr. Nathan did not say that they did well for colored performers, but he gauged their comparison with all the best performers on the New York stage. It is comparatively easy to be a "Black Shakespeare" or a "Black Booth" or a "Black Paderewski," because, in nearly every instance, that sort of modified reputation is gained by a modified standard of measurement; and these modified standards of measurement for our artistic efforts have been a great drawback to our development. So we consider that the places accorded Mr. Cooper and Miss Clough by a competent critic who compared their work with that of all the best performers on the New York stage, mark a real artistic achievement for the race. CONSIDERS IT INDISPENSABLE. To The Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: My parents read the Colored American and the, Anglo-African, and I read the various copies until THE AGE sprang into existence, which among my periodicals has a weekly welcome. I consider it indispensable. Find P. O. to renew for 1917. (Miss) K A TOWNSEND Rosly: N. Y To the Editor of THE NEW YORK, AGE: At this time when the largest nations of the earth are at war, at a time when the cry of loyalty to Old Glory is the motto of every true American, the recent disgraceful lynching at Memphis, Tenn. is a most fortunate and disgraceful catastrophe. America demands loyalty to the Flag from every citizen regardless of race or creed or previous condition of servitude. Does not such a demand, when it is gladly met by all concerned, carry with it equality before the law? Are we truly in a free country or are we ruled by the invisible system of color-caste? Should a man be burned at the stake tor murder simply because he happens to be a colored man? Does such reprisal repel crime? No, it does, not and I shall prove it. The passion for revenge cannot originate in the purest impulses of humanity. Why does the law direct that every man is entitled to a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers? Why does the law hang the murderer? To the first of these questions the answer must be this: to show that the hand of justice knows no favorites, that the scales weigh the rich and the poor alike, when they are thrown into the balance. To the second question, the answer must be this: To strike a balance between the dead and the living, but this is not true, all such efforts would be indeed illogical, inexitable, unprofitable, futile. The law kills the murderer to prevent further murders, but this is the function of law to estop outraged public indignation at the act committed by the murderer, and to yield to mob law on the one hand and to style ourselves as pioneers or justice and democracy; yea even touch bearers of that panacea of human ill, "the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man," is so utterly contemptible and disgusting in the eyes of the world, that America can well hide One week a respectable colored man finds his home invaded and a white man having illegal relations with his wife and kills him. The victim of that man's wrath admits his guilt, and the colored man after three trials is sent to prison for ninety-nine years. The next week a colored man is lynched for murder at a "murder festival;" yet, we are the promoters of democracy and justice. Greed, lust, revenge are not inspiring motives of justice and democracy; as understood by thinking people since the day of Adam. There was for many centuries blood feuds. Revenge of this sort was in the absence of law a peculiar kind of justice; by taking such revenge men thought they became even with their enemies, and it would seem that the South has not advanced from the days of Mohammed. The fallacy of Mohammed's justice lay in the fact that it sought an equivalent and that was impossible. The theory of striking a balance by lynching, fighting crime with crime, is false because it is impracticable. It is also morally wrong and contrary to the higher precepts of our religion. Real justice law in restraining the offender, making him repent. If there is no law to punish lynching in the South, then to commit murder there should not be a crime per se. We are a loyal people, we coneal no traitors, we offer our lives unqualifiedly in the service of our common country, we ask no charity, we demand justice as American citizens. If America truly understands, the functions of democracy and justice, she must know that she must begin to promote democracy and justice at home.

ARTHUR G. SHAW. New York City. THE MEMPHIS LYNCHING. (From the Montgomery Advertiser.) The Advertiser is gratified, but not surprised, at the prompt and vigorous manner in which the Tennessee press condemns the burning of a Negro at Memphis who committed one of the most horrible crimes conceivable. Tennessee must be ashamed of the stain on its name to-day. That this is true may be seen from the tenor of the editorial comment upon the affair at Memphis. "We are back once more to the point where the law should end and anarchy should begin," says one of the leading daubes of the State. "We are face to face with the old question of whether society disorganized can better accomplish results than the organized forces of the law . . . . . . Men cannot give the law temporary paralysis and then expect it to resume a vigor in protecting all of the rights of all of the people. Men cannot, at will, suspend the Constitution of the United States and then expect that Constitution to be the ark of the covenant of the liberties which our forefathers secured for us in their blood." If a reign of violence in Memphis does not follow the lynching episode wherein so large a number of people were personally concerned, we shall be pleasantly surprised. Violence begets violence, as is true a saying as we know. We must have an orderly society, or we fail. Law must function through orderly processes, else the example of violation will ultimately and inevitably demoralize us. SAVAGERY (By Evening Globe.) In the presence of ten thousand spectators a self-confessed Negro murderer, chained to a tree, was * * * roasted to death in Tennessee. Women and children looked on while the unmasked mob went about its revolting work unmolested by the authorities. In all the black history of lynch law there probably has been no more shocking case than this. Because one man became a beast, commuted a vile crime, ten thousand citizens, wreaked breast-like vengeance on him. That the man's crime was monstrous does not make the crime of the mob one with more defensible "Billy Sunday told his congregation that the American Indian with his tomahawk and scalping knife was a gentleman compared with the Prussian soldier. Could Prussian savagery go further than that of Tennessee? "One account of the lynching says a Negro close to the pyre, unbalanced by the excitement, caught up an American flag as the last of the flames died out, and, waving it above his head, shouted. We're all through here, boys! Let's join the Germans! "This half-crazed Negro barely escaped with his life. A crowd seized him and was about to put him to the torch when others rescued him. He had insulted the Stars and Stripes, emblem of Christianity, civilization, enlightenment humanity. But he had not offered to it the monstrous insult of that blood hungry mob of ten thousand." Owen there lived aside by old Two races great; One white, the other black How hyphenate. One day same jealousy, White black tall; I don't want to near me Niggers; But to work and give me bread. "I don't want you near me Niggers; You my progress do menace; Civilisation is by my might; That you live by my grace.

E. CHURCHSTONE, LORD, Port au Prince, Haiti The time has come to consider the Negro in the South calmly, with an unprejudiced mind; and to attempt to understand him and the questions bound up with him, without relying too much on preconceived notions. Here are some facts to be considered: Negroes are going into the North in large numbers and will continue to do so; the government is not going to order them, as a race, to stay in the South; the State cannot prevent them from leaving the South if they wish to go; and the one sure way to keep them in the South is to accord them better treatment. Now, there is no expectation that white people are going to suggest that Jim Crow street car and train and hotel arrangements be done away with, but there is plenty of room, without disturbing these arrangements for improving conditions under which Negroes live in the South. For examples, petty persecutions by police forces, arrests without reason, fines without cause—these things can and must be ended. In the Wiregrass Farmer, published at Ashbur and official organ of Turner county, appeared this editorial the other day, under the title "Unjust Justice." "There is considerable criticism of the continual arrests of the colored people on trivial charges, in fact, it is alleged on trumped up charges sometimes. The latest is that of a good, old time darley who has been in our midst for a quarter of a century and nothing against him. He lay in jail for two days and then got out by paying six or seven dollars cost for the privilege of being arrested. Our farmers and others are getting surred up over these conditions, as they say it is running the labor off and it's next to impossible to get hands to do the far work." Now here is the real problem for the white people of the South to consider. The Negro is needed in the South for the labor he can do. If he goes, who is going to pick the cotton, do the hard work in the fertilizer factories, most of the handling of trucks, much of the labor in factories and on farms of all sorts? It may be said that it is all right to let the Negro go, because after the war his place can be taken by white men from Europe, but if this war goes on much longer Europe's supply of men is going to be very short, certainly there will not be enough men left to keep Europe in operation and then plenty more to take the places of hundreds of thousands of Negroes in the South. Nearly seven million European men—the finest scialys, in Europe—have been killed in the war; other millions have been so badly wounded that they are but pieces of men. And the war is not yet over. The folly of talking about a great affair of European labor immediately after the war is plain: for one thing the names of Europe are going to keep their men at home—they cannot afford to permit them to leave in millions. So, whether or not the white people of the South wish to think see only and calmly about the Negro, they are compelled to do it by economic conditions forced upon them by the greatest war the world ever saw. What is necessary is to put an end to the persecutions of Negroes such as the Wireworm Farmer calls attention to pay the Negro enough for his labor and do far more than has been done to make living conditions on his home more tractive and healthful. These charges have to be made. It may be said that most of the Negroes who go North will come back the answer to this is that the best of the Negroes who go North will stay there and the riff raff that goes will drift back. Right treatment of Negroes as a art is necessary. This hewet or wood and drawer of water is needed in the South and if the South fails to recognize the fact it will suffer. The sooner it recognizes it and acts sensibly upon it the better for all concerned.

WALTON) THEATRICAL Managers, producers of photo plays and others are just beginning to realize that the scope of the African Dodger law, which became operative May 15, is much broader than they had first supposed. The general impression prevailed before the measure received the favorable consideration of the Legislature, that a fight was being waged by the colored people of the State of New York solely against the "African Dodger." To their chagrin managers now find that offensive motion pictures, such as "The Birth of a Nation," and all theatrical presentations wherein the Negro is held up to contempt and ridicule are as much under the ban as the "African Dodger." ```markdown ``` Opposition to the bill becoming a law would have been more pronounced had theatrical men been aware that others would be seriously affected besides amusement purveyors of Coney Island and other summer resorts. Now those who went to Albany and lobbyed to defeat the African Dodger bill are laughing up their sleeves at the predicament in which many other promoters find themselves as the result of the adroit manner in which Counselor Rufus L. Berry inserted the joker making it a misdemeanor for any race of citizens to be held up to contempt or ridicule in the State of New York. The Age is offering $10 reward for evidence furnished securing the first conviction under the new law. Following is a certified copy of the African Dodger law, which has been furnished by Second Deputy Secretary of State C. W. Taft of the Office of the Secretary of State at Albany, N. Y.: AN ACT To amend the penal law, in relation to public health and decency. Became a Law May 15, 1917, with the approval of the Governor. Passed, three-fifths being Present. The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1. The penal law is hereby amended by inserting therein a new section, to be section seventeen hundred and fifty-six-a, to read as follows: 1756-a. Disgraceful practices offending health and decency. A person who exhibits himself or another in public, and invites, solicits or allows others to throw 'or release a ball or other article at his head or other portion of his body, or the head or body of another, for compensation, reward or otherwise, or publicly engages in or takes any part in a game commonly known as "ball dodger," for a consideration or otherwise, or employs a person for such purpose, or at such place or places, for himself, or for another, invites, solicits or allows others to throw a ball or other articles, to release a spring or other object or device whereby a person is thrown from a distance to a body of water or any receptacle, or commits any act or acts whereby any race of citizens of this State is held up to contempt or ridicule, is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than five hundred, nor less than one hundred dollars, or by imprisonment for a term of not more than one year or less than three months, or both. Sec. 2. This act shall take effect immediately. Securing the enactment of a law is one thing; securing a conviction is another. There never was a law that some person or persons did not try to break. So self-respecting Negroes need not think victory is yet complete. Now that we have the African Dodger law on the statute books it is our duty to see that it is enforced, which can be done only by prosecuting its violators. FIGHTING RIDICULE ( BY PROF. WM. L. BULKLEY. ) In its timely and effective fight against the practice of ridiculing colored citizens in public, THE AGE is hitting at abuses that are of deep interest to the race. Such acts of ridicule should not be attempted by any one, and, if attempted, should be stopped. There are ways of correcting such evils. Which is the wisest is not always easy to say. Most frequently they can be stopped by reaching the pockets of the guilty parties; sometimes by appealing to fair play. I shall give an illustration of both on these: Some years ago thumb tacks were supplied by the Board of Education in boxes upon the cover of, which was a Negro child's head to give expression to name of the tacks—"Solid Head." I think one can still find the tacks sold with these boxes in the stores. A legaler to Supt. Jones of the Supply Department of the Department of Education, calling attention to the injustice to a large part of the school population brought from that gentleman a courteous reply that the matter would receive his attention. Doubless he sent to the dealers a notice that either the offensive caricature be removed or that the contract would be held up. At any rate, from that day to this, the boxes have arrived at our schools with a blank space in the poser part of the cover. An illustration of pocket being a close neighbor to heart. As an illustration of the appeal to fair play: Within a few years a geography found its way to the principal's desk; a book 'commendable in many ways, but falling into the usual unfairness, which, I confess, may not-always be intentional. In portraying the races of men there appeared upon a page, in juxtaposition, President McKinley to represent the Caucasian; Li Hung Chang, the Mongolian; some character well attired to represent the Malay, and another, an Indian warrior. The African was represented by the most unnivelling Kaffir or Hottentot, or of whatever savage tribe he may have been When the publisher was politely asked whether he thought it was not fairer to represent the Negro at his best, since the other races were so represented, he replied that the criticism was just and asked that he be furnished with a photograph of a representative Negro Since that time there has appeared, instead of the savage, one of New York's most beloved clergymen. These are only two ways, there may be others. In any case, a disparaging portrayal of any race works an injustice, and every right-thinking person should work to correct the evil Editor's Note—Prof Bulkley is principal of Public School 79, located in a section where most of the residents are Hebrews. He is the only principal in Greater New York, who is a representative of the race in whose interest he writes MISS EVANS IN VOCAL RECITAL WASHINGTON, D. C. The final public exercises of Howard University, in lieu of its public commencement not held this year, was the senior vocal recital of Miss Lillian Evans 17, Friday night.

Miss Evans began her studies under Mrs. Harriett Gibbs Marshall, founder of the Washington Conservatory of Music, several years ago and entered Howard University in 1913. Dean Lulu Vere Childlets expressed appreciation at the work of her special pupil, who was applauded throughout by a critical audience. Miss Evans was accompanied by Miss Beatrice Lewis.
