Dunham, C Ryan, six police captains, two comp each, and the Police Band of forty n At Bethel A. M. E. Church in 132d street, Police Chaplain Blum and the Police Quartet took part in the services, and patrolmen from Holmes' precinct acted as guard of honor. Two colored and four white police officers served as pallbearers. They were Patrolmen Billitts, Rhodes, Fuedner, Hammond, Mohan and Corcoran. Fully twenty thousand persons lined the streets of Harlem, to pay their last respects to the dead patrolman Bethel A. M. E. Church was crowded as never before. Intimate friends of the deceased, the Elks and the Fishermen of Galilee occupied the main floor of the church and hundreds sat and stood in the gallery. The Rev. A. R. Cooper, pastor of Bethel Church, officiated, assisted by the Rev. R. M. Bolden, the Rev. Fred Martin, the Rev. C. E. Wilson, the Rev A. S. Carter, the Rev Frank H. Hyder, and Police Chaplain Blum. The musical numbers were furnished by the Police Quartet, which sang "Nearer My God to Thes" and "Lead Kindly Light"; Arthur Payne sang "Calvary"; Miss Eva Turner, "Goodbye" and Mrs. Banks, "Heaven Is My Home." Melville Charlton was the accompanist. In his sermon the Rev. Dr. Cooper spoke of the heroism of the Negro and how, for centuries, he has given his life for his country. Referencer was made to the loyalty of Crispus Attucks in the Revolutionary War and the patriotism of the Negro in all the wars in which this country has taken part. The officials of the Police Department present were assured that there were hundreds of other brave men who, if given the chance, would prove heroes just like Police Officer Holmes. Commissioner Says Holmes Was a Real Man. In a few words Commissioner Woods stated that he was glad to be present to pay tribute to a policeman who was a real man, declaring that Police Officer Holmes' devotion to duty will be an inspiration to all police. The Manhattan Lodge of Elks' and the fishermen of Galilee made a most creditable showing. Qwing to the length of the services and the lateness of the hour the usual ceremony was dispensed with by each order. Exalted Ruler David W. Parker of the Manhattan Lodge of Elks, and Mrs. Nannie Gover, representing the fishermen of Galilee, spoke a few few words of praise over their deceased brother. The guard of honor escorted the body from the home, 63 West 140th street, to the church. After the services Police Commissioner Woods, his aides, the two companies of patrolmen under Capt. Ward and Capt. Gargan, the Police Band, "Billy" Butler's Elks Band, forty-old strong, members of the Elks, Fishermen of Galilee and friends, marched down lenox avenue as far as 110th street. Six mounted police led the procession. The last rites were held at Mount Olive Cemetery, which were witnessed by the family, including Police Officer Samuel J. Battle, who walked with the mother of the deceased, the pallbearers and the department bungler. It required four carringes to take the floral pieces to the grave. The police of the 38th Precinct of which Hibernia was a member, sent a shield, some Defense League a large floral offering and many organizations and individuals sent floral tributes. Due to the efforts of Private Detective Shepard N. Edmonds, the police have arrested Walter Hill, colored, of 121 West Spruce Street. Stamford, Conn., who confesses to be the slayer of Police Officer Holmes. An old hat brought about Hill's arrest. Old Hat Leads to Slayer's Arrest. Edward Fairchild, a shopkeeper of Stamford, has identified the hat found in the hallway where Holmes was murdered as the one he sold to Hill. Fairchild says that in April he sold a brown soft hat of Stetson make to Hill for fifty cents. It had been found on the street in front of his shop and purchased by Hill a short time later. Fairchild has positively identified Hill as the man to whom he sold the hat. It further has been established by the police that on the night of the murder Hill called on a girl residing at 14 West 138th street, where the crime was committed. Hill admitted to Assistant District Attorney Joyce Monday that he killed Policeman Holmes. At the conclusion of the confession, image after, an allnight grilling in which detectives of the Fourth Branch took part, Hill was taken to Mount Vernon where he unearthed from beneath a hedge the revolver he had used. Hill says he came from Stamford to New York to "get, even" with a certain girl with whom he had been friendly for two years, that he recently gave her $70 to have gold teeth put in and after she got the teeth she deserted him. She was in the apartment he tried to enter and it was the man with her that he aimed at. The revolver was found on the estate of Norman M. Brown. Three shells had been discharged. Hill said he buried it after he had begged a ride to Mount Vernon on a delivery wagon. In the town he was shot at by Policeman Schaeffer, but he escaped and begged another ride, this time to Stamford, where he was arrested Friday. The hat which figured so prominently in bringing about Hill's arrest was found by Detective Edmonds and turned over to the police. It was, formerly owned by Harold F. Avery, 1331 Riverside Drive. Detective Conkling went to Stamford and for several days tried to find out more concerning the hat and its ultimate owner. He finally learned that Edward Fairchild, who keeps a store at No 48 West, Main street, had sold such a hat to a Negro. Fairchild said he knew Hill well, for at one time they had both worked for Robert M. Anthony at No. 248 Bradford street: He would he willing, he said, to swear the hat was the one Hill bought. Identifying Hill as the murderer mystified the police, as they were looking for a burglar and Hill was looked on as honest. But he was arrested. Then the police began to suspect that Hill was not after booty when he entered the West 138th stree house GALILEAN FISHERMEN CAMBRIDGE, Md.—The 61st annual session of the National Grand Tabernacle of Galilean Fishermen came to a close Thursday of last week with the choosing of Jamaica, L.

ODD FELLOWS MEET AT BINGHAMTON (Special to The New York Age) BINGHAMTON, N. X.—One of the most important gatherings of Old Fellows of this State, if not the most important, was the thirty-first session of the District Grand Lodge No. 2 of the State of New York, held last week in Binghamton. The session opened Tuesday and closed Thursday night. Some of the social features were marred by heavy rains, and the delegates were unable to visit the various local business institutions as had been planned. The citizens of Binghamton gave the visitors a most cordial welcome. The Mayor and officials of the Chamber of Commerce took part in welcoming the guests and during their remarks spoke highly of the colored residents. Manhattan and Brooklyn carried off honors for having the largest delegation, there being present elighty delegates from the twooroughs. Balloting for officers was spirited in some instances. W. David Brown of New York was reelected District grand secretary; I. Thomas Johnston, for 1917-19 were. William J. Smith, Rochester, deputy district grand master; James F. Adair, Brooklyn, district grand secretary; J. Thomas oJhnston, New York, district grand treasurer; James A. Glasgow, New York, district grand director. The report of the grand officers showed that there has been an improvement in the membership and finances of the officer. The households are gaining in lodges and membership faster. Among the male branches and the men are dying faster than the women. The combined membership in both branches is slightly over nine thousand. Greetings. Report of Committee on Civic Affairs Under the present leadership the order plans to take an active part in civic matters affecting the Negro, and one of the features of the session was the adoption of the following declaration to the country by the Committee on Civic Acairs, of which Counsel尔沃ford H. Smith is chairman: We, your Committee on Civic Acairs, beg leave to submit the following report, as the representative and members of the lodges and Households of Ruth of this great order in the state of New York. We deeply deplore the fact that the principal nations of the world are still at war, and that our own beloved country, has been drawn fully unite with all the other members of our citizenship in upholding and supporting the National administration at Washington; and we stand ready to make any sacrifice of our property and even of our lives in defence of our country, and thus, in order that the American arms may triumph in this conflict. We are proud of the record that our race has made in its devotion and loyalty to the American Arms even while in chains as well as in freedom, from the falling of Crispus Atticus in the streets of Boston, from the fall of the American government of the Tenth United States Cavalry at Carthage, Mex., in 1916, and we do not intend that that record shall ever be dimmed or suffer anyblemish. It is public and general news that owing to the intolerable conditions and expression in the South, there has been labor in the North, there has been going on and is still going on, wholesale migration of our people from that prejudiced, accursed land to various parts of the North. We heartily approve of their course in leaving those only disfranchised and denied all rights in the government, and segregated and forced to ride in "Jim Crow" cars by unconstitutional and discriminatory enactments, but are also almost daily inbed and burned at the stake, when simply accused of crime, and denied all rights in the government. This condition is liable to royal citizens of a republic. We would urge the members of our race everywhere in the North, especially the members of our order, to form help; hard committees, to assist those coming up from the South to hold suitable houses to live in. As I told Pellows we are sure that you will do this. We cannot conserve too severely the recent troopprooked outrages perpetrated upon the defenseless men, women and children of our race at East St. Louis in the state of Illinois, and at Chester in the side of Pennsylvania; also the savage burdens of men of our race by mobs at Montana, Tenn., and Wyo., Tenn. We trained and wounded enough to express our deep attitude to Colonel Theodore B. Volt, and we command and captured him in the highest strenge for his life. (Continued on page two) THURSDAY.

The grand jury, in its report, says that the evidence shows that the assault and murdering of Negroes was deliberately plotted, and the officials of the town are soundly scored for their inactivity, and are accrued of possessing cowardly inclinations. One leutenant of police has been indicted. Recommendations of Grand Juny. The recommendations of the grand jury follow: "It is the belief of the members of the Grand Jury that while we have not apprehended all the par-ticipants in the East St. Louis riots—to do so comprehends a task of subordinate men as under it, possible we do believe that the appended indictments include all the mob leaders.

The communication to THE AGE was in response to an inquiry made by Fred R. Moore, editor of THE AGE, asking if it was true that Col. Young had been pitted on the retired list, as rumored.

NURSES PREPARING TO MEET AT LOUISVILLE (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Louisville, Ky.—Arrangements have been perfected for the holding of the eighth annual convention of the National Association of Nurse Educators at Louisville, August 21, 22 and 23. Indications are that this will be the banner session of the association. The convention will be held at Quinlan Chapel A, M. E. Church in W. Chestnut street, and a program of interest has been arranged. The citizens of Louisville are making extensive preparations to give the visiting nurses a cardiac welcome, and a number of social events have been planned. Mary A. B.

Md.-Wesley Enolds, 83 years old, of Alabama, and his sister, Matilda, Webster? 77 years old, residing in this city, have been united after a separation of 63 years. They were torn apart during slavery days at their home in Dorechester County 63 years ago. The aged brother has come to Baltimore and intends to reside with his sister the remainder of his days. Brother and sister had not heard a word of each, other until three weeks ago, when the former decided to search for his sister. He finally got a clue that she was married and living in Baltimore and he instituted a search and succeeded in locating her. WAR DEPARTMENT DRAWS COLOR LINE IN THE AIR (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) Washington, D. C.-Negroes are being excluded from the Aviation Corps despite the communication received some time ago by Prof Scarborough of Wilberforce, which stated that colored aviators were wanted. In applying for an appointment as member of the Aviation Corps a colored man residing in Pensacola, Fla., has received a letter from the Aero Division of the War Department which reads: "Colored applicants are not being accepted for enlistment in the Aviation Section.

In the interim the intrigues went on, culminating in massacres and crimes innumerable as well as unthinkable. "We further believe that the hand of a strong and fearless public officer could have restrained the attrocities." "We have found it obligatory to indict the lieutenant of police. Twenty-one Negroes who fired a fusillade of bullet shots at an automobile containing policemen, murdering two of them, have been similarly dealt with; along with many others. "We believe that the riot was easily propaganda of intolerance that the races were taught to have for each other." Attorney General Brundige has taken an active part in the investigation and has announced that the State will vigorously prosecute all those responsible for the East St. Louis riots. It is declared that several well known persons are among those indicted. MEDICAL EXAMINATION The Age is publishing herewith a list of colored registrants in Division No. 140 who have failed to report for medical examination under the first call. It is thought that many of these tardy conscripts have not appeared before the board, which is sitting at Public School No 119, 133d street and Eighth avenue, of which Ralph E. Langston is chairman, because they are unaware of having been drafted for military duty, their notices not having reached them.

WHEN YOU MISS IT IN "THE AGE" YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT. NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. DR. FRISSELL LAID TO REST Simple and Impressive Funeral Service Held for Hampton Principal on August 8. DR. MOTON DELIVERS ADDRESS Says Memory of Dr. Frissell Will Be Revered by Millions of Colored and White People of North and South Whom He Helped - Both Races Attend Funeral Service at Hampton. Hampton, Va.—Hollis Burke Frissell, beloved principal of Hampton Institute for nearly twenty-five years, and Samuel Chapman Armstrong, his soldierly predecessor, now rest-side by side as once they loyally worked by day and by night to give all men regardless of class or race a new conception of education—"Education for life." The funeral service, simple and impressive, which was held Wednesday in the Hampton Institute Memorial Church and the small school cemetery in memory of the life and work of Dr. Frissell brought together on the lower peninsula of Virginia hundreds upon hundreds of thoughtful white and colored people who paid tribute to one of America's leading statesmen educators. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Hampton former commandant, present principal of Tuskegee Institute, delivered a forceful address on Dr. Frissell's service to the nation. Dr. Moton said: "This life which has gone out from us so recently is to-day manifesting itself in the acts and thoughts of thousands of other lives, lives of black men, red men, and men of the white race also. "I have never known and you have never known a more patient, a more simple, a more earnest, a more unselfish, a more Christianlike character than Dr. Frissell. Dr. Frissell because of his absolute unselfishness is able to hide himself absolutely behind the great cause for which he worked. He thought nothing about himself, but he thought always of how he could serve. Worked for All Mankind. "The keynote of Dr. Frissell's life was the note of service to one's race, one's country, one's God. It was not narrowed to one or two races, but it included the human race, mankind, wherever there was a chance to serve. "Dr. Frissell's memory will always be revered by the millions of Negroes whom he helped and by millions of white people, North and South, thruph whom he served and by thousands of Indians for whom he worked. "We should thank God for the great victory which is Dr. Frissell's and which is ours, the victory over prejudice, over selfishness, over littleness, the victory of patience, of simplicity of life and of service. May those who are privileged to work for Hampton always be controlled, whether trustees, teachers, students, graduates or friends by this spirit of unselfish service, to our fellow men." Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C., formerly associate chaplain at Hampton Institute, read the prayer which Dr. Frissell offered less than two years ago at the funeral service of Dr. Booker T. Washington, "Thanks he to God who giveth us the victory." With these words, Dr. Frissell opened the service held in memory of Hampton's most distinguished graduate. These words were repeated again and again to-day as an expression of Dr. Frissell's victorious life. The whole Hampton school sang with rare feeling two of the Negro religious folk songs "Swing Low Sweet Charlott," and "My Logo, What a morning," which were dear to the heart of Hampton's principal. The Rev. Laurence Fenninger read appropriate selections from the scriptures and the Rev. Dr Herbert B. Tanner offered the closing prayer at the church service. Scores of floral pieces covered the casket, mute witnesses of the affection of white and colored people. The flowers were carried from the church to the cemetery by Hampton graduates. The funeral procession was headed by the well-trained Hampton Institute Band, then followed the Hampton cadets the girl students, the funeral car, the flower hearers, officers of Battery D Virginia Field Artillery and hundreds of Dr. Frissell's friends from far and near. The service at the graveyard included the commitment of the body by the Rev. Herbert B. Turner, prayer by the Rev. Laurence Fenniger and the singing of "My Faith Looks Up to Thee." Taps.

C.—A significant conference on Law and Order, with special reference to mob violence, has just closed at Lee Hall. It was attended by fifty prominent educators, ministers, civil women, church workers, doctors, judges, state officials of the N. Y., and the W. Y. C. A. and social workers from all parts of the South. Among the speakers were the people generally considered to be most concerned in mob violence, but seldom consulted in such conferences, including women. It also included the Negro, grafters, when mob violence in the South is heavily directed. Fifteen addresses delivered at ten abstinence sessions were discussed from very angle. The concrete results of those discussions is expressed in the drugs of the conference which were in part as follows. This conference depreciates any lack of certain and speedy justice by the process of law in the case of any and all crime. All officers of justice who resist any attempt at public disorder on the part of a mob should be publicly commended in the highest degree. Public sentiment should be so cultivated as to make it impossible for any officer to retain public office who does not to the utmost of his ability carry out his full oath to enforce the law he is sworn to uphold. We hold as fundamental that for the Negró, as well as for all other human beings, home ownership is the basis of security/stability of citizenship, full-statured civic responsibility, anw and order, and social progress. We recommend the establishment of Law and Ordeal League everywhere to order enforce conditions and improve surroundings that lead to sanitation, poverty, disorder, and crime, and anticipate and prevent mob violence whenever threatened. We urge the importance of regular and fearless charges to grand juries by trial judgements on the evil of mob violence. We look forward to the time when physical and mental examinations by recognized experts shall be made of all out or breaking off, you should not delay but write at once for MME. C. J.

Walker, Indianapolis address. In writing please mention this paper THE STAR HAIR GROWER MGR. P. O. Box 812 Greenaboro, N. C. THE MASSIVE CROSSING OF THE CITY persons on trial in our criminal courts. We endorse the formation of a Southern Speakers' Bureau of Law and Order, the members of which may be called on to speak before all bodies concerned with social problems, looking forward to the establishment of similar burcans in every Southern State. Since the chief remedial force for the prevention of mob violence is the development of a right public sentiment, and since women have a large share in the creation of public sentiment, we believe there should be concreted action by women for the education of white men on the evils of mob violence, through the agencies of the home, the Women's Club, the university, the schools and colleges. We believe that the women need to impress upon the men of the country that mob violence is not an effective protection of womankind. We believe further that no race is stronger than its womankind; and, therefore, we exalt the integrity of the home as the largest asset of any race, white or colored. D. W. O. Weatherford, Chairman of the conference and I am not sorry that Negro migration with its immense economic loss to the South in labor values, his row. It is worth every dollar it has to cost, us up to the tremendous obligation we in the South have to work out our relations with the Negro. We have the biggest chance any people in the world's history ever had to work out the race problem but the problem everywhere found of the relations of a race supposedly inferior to a race supposedly superior. Paraphrase the prophet Jonah, we are a nation on the high road to a great destiny, but we are stumbling on that road. Let us cease to stumble. John Wesley Gilbert, Professor of Payne College for colored students, said: "The great tide of the present Negro exodus is from the states where there have been the largest number of instances of mob violence, lynching, low waces, and oppression of one sort and another. I believe that the Negroes who have gone North and West will return to their old homes in the South when they are assured of protection of life and liberty. I desire the exodus of my people once. It hats, amounted from 50,000 in the South, it comes to me that the Chambers of Commerce, the Boards of Trade, the banks, the farmers and all the business organizations in the South, for economic reasons, if for none other, should keep this producing class, this tax value-giving class of its labor, the most reliable in the world, in the South, if these laborers are asking only for a fair chance, for protection and sympathy." ALABAMA'S GOVERNOR SAYS PUNISH LYNCHERS (Special to The New York Am) BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-The following letter was received by Dr. U. G. Mason, of this city, from Gov Henderson, of Alabama, in reference to the lynching of two Negroes in Lowndes county July 24: "I beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of the 28th inst. We all realize the force contained in yours and also the responsibility resting upon the officers of the State charged with the protection of the lives and property of its citizens. Investigations will be made and I believe, punishment meted out to the assassins. I do not believe that the sentiment of the better element of Lowndes County is in sympathy with lawbreakers" In his letter to the Governor Dr. Mason said, among other things: "I am appealing to you in the name of all the colored people of this commonwealth. 'That the open season for lynching in this State be closed.' It seems that within the last several months, Alabama has been destined to take the fore rank in this inhuman and most disgraceful method of destroying the Negro. Although Alabama is not alone in resisting, to this undeniable method of punishing its citizens (for the most part for petty offenses), this argument should be no reason why lynching should be tolerated in this State. I am not attempting to argue that the two men who were punched did or did not commit offenses but the Negros do not believe that there was a scintilla of reason why they should have received the punishment meted out to them, but feel that they deserved the treatment that should be accorded all human beings—the right to trial by the courts of the State, which are controlled exclusively (and without intimidation) by the white men of the State. Who doubts that these poor human beings would have been given—if found guilty—the hint of the law?" The news account of the lynching, a dispatch from Montgomery, stated that the two men, Will and Jesse Powell, were taken from deputies in Lowndes county and lynched to a nearby tree. The mob numbered about 100. The deputies endeavored to prosecute the Negroes, but the mob overpowered them and forcibly took possession of their prisoners. The charge against them was that they held up a white farmer and his Negro laborer, at the point of pistols, Underwood & Underwood, N. T. while the latter were en route from their homes at Letohatchie, Lowndes county, to the white man's plantation five miles away. The Negroes, it is claimed, had brushed against the white man's horse, and when the latter demonstrated, they drew their revolvers and threatened him. JERSEY CITY N J Jersey City, N. J., At Bethel A.

Pe PER ot ye ‘ “Srp PRRSON’S GUILT Poe ; Three months ago the country was ‘horrified by the news of the burning alive of, a Negro, El Persod, at»Memphis, Tenn. Six weeks. later the human burnt sacrifice at Memphis was driven out of ‘the public mind by the massacre at East St! Louis., No.doubt toa great tiany people the name of Ell Person, although it is an unusual one, would inean nothing now. Ell Person ad, whet the Memphians did to him just three montlis ago are among the’ forgotten things Of, the past.’ : rie ° - N¥vertheless, this week's isstie of the New, Republic contains reminder in the form of a letter from Mr. Bolton Smith of Memphis. Shortly after the lynching—if such a mild term may be used—th¢ New Republic intimated in an editorial that there was “no real proof whatever.” It is to correet this opinion that Mr. Smith writes his letter. He begins by’ saying: . = & 1 "Mr. Hunter’ Wilson, the county prosecuting” 6fficer;-kifown with us a8 Attorney-General, informs me that there can be no question of the guilt of Ell Person, that he not only conféssed to the officers here, but also to those in Nashville, in whose charge he was left when the Sheriff took him to the penitentiary to protect him from the mob. The criminal accompanied our officers to the place where thescrime was committed and pointed to a pool of water in which he told them he had thrown the ax after committing the murder. It was ten feet deep and full of muddy water. A Negro swimmer was employed who dived; and, after examin- ing the bottom for-some time, found the ax and brought it to the surface. There yere other facts such as the, finding of his blood-spatterd ‘shoes at the face where he said he had had them,’ which | neéd not go into. Such a confession, when confirnigd~by facts such as these, would be considered adequate evidence of gifilt in any court in Christendom. | Before we go any further 1 want to say that I'learned something about Bolton’Smith while L:was in Memphis investigating the Ell Person case. Mr, Smith is a Northern man who ‘has lived in the South for more than thirty years. He is one of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of Memphis. He is undoubtedly about as fair and_brave_on the Negro question as a white man could be, and Stil live in Memphis with safety and in the enjoyment-of-the respect of his fellow citizense, It was Bolton Smith who tried shortly after the, burning to get a resolution adopted by the City Club of Memphis demanding the resignation of Sheriff Tate. Yet, in spite of his. relative fairness and courage, he-entirely ignores many of the truths ee known in Memphis and that throw a doubt-on Ell Per- soh's guilt, : oe | . Ell ‘Person is alleged to have: made a confession, a confession wrung from him by the “third degree.” And the “third degree” | pfacticed by Memphis police upon a Negro arrested on such a charge might well be put down as the thine tied degree. Even s@pperson| tiever did confess nor was ever allegewf to have confessed to anything, but murder. And he was indicted only for murder. The girl Antoin- ette Rappal had been brutally assaulted. The ‘question as to who) committed the assault has never been answered. | * c . _ As‘to the bloody ax and shoes and clothiiig, the following para- gtaph from the Memphis Press of May 8, and printed in heavy type on.the- front-page settles.all question:: 227074. eo Na E *" ‘NO'BLOOD I8 ON CLOTHBS-AND AX... “City Chemist Mantell reported this afternoon'that:he’ had failed . to find any blood on the trousers, shoes or. ax of Ell'Person, confessed murderer of Antoinette Rappal.” sa “This fact is known in Memphis, if not in other parts of the coun: try, that for days there was a split between the sheriff's office and the city detective force on the theqry of the crime; the detettivés holding that the criminal was 4 white man.” Let us go'right to Memphis for confirmation of this fact. The following paragrapbs.appeared in the Commercial. Appeal of May 5: a I~. ’ DETECTIVES ON CASE. Are Working ‘en Theory That White’Man Committed Crime. Are Working’en Theory That White Man Committed Crime. “Brunner and Hoyle, city detectives, who were asmgned to assist the sheriff's office in investigating the Rappal murder mystery, have thus far kept their discoveries to themselves. It is understood at detective head- quarters that, they are working on the theory that a white man, and not a Negro may have committed the crime. * * * . “There are some circumstances that bear out this theory. The girl's bicycle, when it was found, was leaning against a tree only .a hundred feet or so from the bridge and the public toad. The basket in front contained her school apron, her books,-a package of lunch, and a sinall bouquet of flowers. The officers argue that if the girl had been seized as she was riding that these articles would have been thrown from the basket, and the wheel. would probably have heen dragged away and thrown out of-sight. * * * 7 “A handkerchief was found nearby. lt did not belong to the girl. Yesterday the sheriff found a white coat, such as barbers or waiters wear. It was some distavce away and bore no bloodstains. No Negro, it is argued, wauid have such a coat. Few Negroes of the class to which the, two iuepects who are in custody be.ong ever carry a, white handkerchief.’” »iEven the yellow journal of Memphis,” The ‘Press; the pape that-did,so much to keep-the-lynching’spirit-fanned-to aflame; printe¢ in its columns the clues that pointed to a white man as the criminal The followiiig ‘paragraph appeared in The Press of May 7: ; “Indications, according to city detectives, point to the fact that Antoinete’ Rappal left the Macon Road voluntarily on the morning that she was murdered. * *%°"* s + ® "The condition of the bicycle would, point to the fact that the girl was not dragged from the embankment from her wheel, for the bicycle is not scratched, nor marked as though it had been ‘dragged. Sleuths say’ it looks as though it had been placed carefully against the clump of swamp willows where it was found. 4 2Certainly no white girl would permit a Negro to lure her into sach a plate, the detectives reagon. A white man, known to her, would excite fio such suspicion in her mind. “They are backed in their white man theory hy De. J.ce A.

In fact and not without reason, the impression has been given that the Ne- gro's services are not really wanted.’ ‘We; believe - that “Secretary ‘Baker is a fair, ian and practically devoid of prejudice but the pres: sure of the Southern oligarchy ,has been brought to bear on the department over which: he presides with the result of shutting ou! aoe men a8 far as it could possibly be done: 7 With this attitude of the Government in, mind, the following ‘remarks about Negro sbldiérs attributed to’ sorie “high“officiél in Provost Marshal General Crowder's office” in last Monday’s Even: fe Sun’ are somewhat surprising: *- - . | ‘They will be a distinct innovation at the front.

What we want is practical recognition of these. ities by the Government. Up tc the: present time, that sort of recofnition has-not been given. ‘The willingness of colored men to serve in both the’ army and ‘the navy has been plainly disconraged;. they have been let in _grudgingly. This attitude is undoubtedly due.to the-powerful influence-of-a-cer: tain Southern element which is determined that the Negro shall not be allowed to wear the uniform and bear arms, because wearing the uniform and bearing arms are labels of equal citizenship. And.a thing more’ discouraging still is the conviction which has been forced on the race that there is a line in the army beyond which no Negro, no matter how fine, fearless and intelligent a’ fighter he may be, can hopesto pass. We cannot “help asking “if a man like Lieut.-Colonel Young, a West Pointer and a brave and ‘able officer, with a gplendid record, is forcibly retired at a time when the country needs just’such men, at the time when ‘he could give-his bestservices, and should receivé the honors that correspond, what chance is there for others not quite so well equipped?” so + We repeat that-it is all veryawell for officials of the War Depart- ment to rehearse our well ‘known soldierly qualities, but what we want is the practical recognition of those qualities. . a HEINE _ON-AMERICA. » _ The current number of Pearson's Magazine contains an articl ‘on “Heine” that is especially interesting because in it are quotec some opinions whicly the poet ‘recorded in his memoirs concerning the race problem in America. Of course, all Age readers know wh« Heine was, even though some of them may not have.read his works Heinrich Heine was a great lyric ‘poet. A Gérman by nationality and a Jew by race.’ He was born in 1797 and died in 1856. Many 0 his poems are familiar in their English versions. es Heine was not only a poet, but a journalist. That is, he was what we would now call a magazine writer; but the articles he wrote were so well written that a great mass of them are collected in books andshave come down to us as prose litdpture of a very high order ‘The life of Heine was sad. For political reasons he was exiled from Germany. At one time he longed for a country that might be haven for his weary spirit, and in this frame of mind he considerec America. Why he felt that he could not be happy in America hi expressed in the following wotds, which we quote from Pearson's: Or should 1 ga to America—that vast Liberty-prison, where the un- seen chains cut deeper into the spirit than the iron chains in Germany cut nto the Hesh. For America is ruled by the most disgusting of ail tyraits—common opinions and common ideas—the dominatioit of the ordinary that forms,the vilest despotism. | Oh, yes. you good German peasants: go out to America, where there are neither princes nor nobles; where all men are equal, equally common, equally stupid: with the exception, it appears, of some millions who have either black or brown skins, and who are, therefore, treated dike dogs. The real slavery does not disgtst me so much as, the brutality with which free men -treat-the colored. people whogverhas got a.drop. of _colored- blood in his veins is there subjected to insults and injustices which ap- pear (0 us like a bad dream. . And at the same time these Americans make a great to-do about their Christianity and yo regularlyto church. This loathsome hypocrisy they have. learned from she English, who, indeed, seem to have be- + queathed to them some of their worst qualities. Sordid self-seeking is their only -religion and gold ‘their only god, and he is almighty. 2 OF course: many a noble heart weeps in silence even in America for the universal sordid self-seeking and injustice, but whoever dares to oppose it must suffer a martyrdom worse than is dreamed of in the most benighted part S£ Europe. : : Heine wrote these words in the first third of the Nineteenth century, before slavery was abolished .yet they are true to-day, neotly a century later. a .

Jeannette Carter, Manager. Washington, D.C.-We have the morning and the evening of life, with sunshine and shadow, as of the seasons, and the two are-not the same, nor do they furnish the same outlook upon life. It was very warm Saturday as your correspondent was walking leisurely up You Street, found Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback seated in a summer rocker of the air, and he was cool of the evening, "Trying to catch all the air going," he said, "but it's a care article these days. Have to sweat and bear it." "By the day, did you see Fred Moore when he was here with the Silent protest group to see the President? No. Neither of him. He must have been a big big guy behind out between suns. Perhaps he was so disgusted with the situation as to be glad to get away. But we are hardened to it. His writepup of the delegation's visit, to the White House and failure, to the White House and failure, in the last issue of The Ace, I consider one of the very best things he has written. The race is in hard luck, but it could be "worse," said the old philosopher, who has been an active character in the affairs of the race in nation for more than a century. "Did you know Bob Church of Memphis" continued Governor Pinchback. "He and I once served together as waiters on a steamboat. I made a mighty poor waiter, I can tell you, as I always preferred to be waited upon rather than to wait upon others, to eat rather than to see others eat. It was different with Bob Church. He was on that and every other job, and know how to communicate with him, and how to keep it. I knew how to make it but never learned how to keep it. They say his estate was appraised for taxing purposes at $750,000, and that would place the actual value at about $1,000,000. That is a lot of money for a man of Bob Church's early beginnings and handcaps to amass and leave, behind him. Many colored men are now developing the money-making and saving habit. I have no doubt the new amount to much unless it learns to save as well as make-money and be rated among the wealth-holders as well as wealth producers of the country." The Governor is as young "as a sixteen year," as he phrases it and it is always pleasant and instructive to have a little chat with him. He is the grand chancellor secretary to, the Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of North Carolina during the past six years, has resigned and is in the city, stopping with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James H. Hunt, 411 Florida avenue. He is the Census Bureau, left early in the week for an extended trip in connection with his official work among religious organizations.

Upon enquiry I found that colored people are employed in most of the decembers of the city, manning machines and the like. White persons are also employed. The demand for our women workers in many departments of labor owing to the withdrawal of men into other service, is outrunning the supply. Bergen County to Be Represented at Bordentown.

AND HOUR THE METROPOLITAN HOT-WEATHER VICTIM MIDSUMMER heat affects us in various ways. Some are moved to commit acts of violence, while others are given to prattle. So when the dramatic critic of the New York Sun indulges in a lot of idle talk about there being no Negro drama in America and never will be, and proceeds to inform us that the place of the Negro on the stage was fixed once and for all, time, many, innany years ago, there is nothing to do but shake your head and sadly exclaim: "Another victim of the heat!" in the drama premiere was brief brac was unfortunate of the Negro theatre appear in the azines until their careers of whitewash had gone wild. Why for the theatre long ago. W Crow "inspire humor of the creator copies of a Negrolied. The Am years inspired I am compelled to disagree with the Sun's critic when he says that "hysteresis are always entertaining." for those more conversant with Negro theatricals than Mr. Munsey's sear and prophet find no entertainment in reading his hysterical outburst on "The Negro and the Stage." Far from proving entertaining his midsummer dissertation puts one in a dire state of despondency. It is regrettable that one posing as an authority should show such criminal ignorance on a subject in which he essays to enlighten the public. Here are some of the gems of thought found in the warm-weather effusion anent colored theatrical folk: Mrs. Norman Happgood made an interesting artistic experiment at the Garden Theatre by producing some Negro plays by Ridleye Torrence, with Negro actors. This entertainment was naturally novel enough to interest all connoisseurs. It is no more than the usual pendan to such experiments that this artistic enthusiasm did not extend to the people. There was little or no general interest in the plays, a representation, commentable as they were and enjoyable as they proved to so many. But it was to the epitomes in art they appealed. Then what would happen to those who so highly appreciated Mr. Torrence's poems, as acted by blacks, if they should ascend the East Side as far as the Lafayette Theatre to see an entire Negro company appearing in "Within the Law? " (I Mr. Torrence's poem) and having his plays happen when the fact that this company "of Negro players" appears in a new drama every week became known to those who so highly appreciated Mrs. Happgood's little company as to throw critical fits in public? * * But nobody has thrown it yet over the actors uptown, although they have been there for several years they will of course be there. The Negro woman will at last be placed on its pedestal. The art of the Negro actor will shame every white-faced bungler who dared to step behind footlights. The ignorance manifested by the Sun's critic relative to the location of the Lafayette Theatre and the length of time dramatic offerings have been produced is of course inconsequential. But I cannot refrain from yelling out; "Stop!" to this writer when he says that "Nobody has thrown fits yet over the actors up town." This statement is made, despite the fact that for more than a year the Lafayette has been playing to crowded houses weekly, so enthusiastic has the public become over these dramatic presentations. It is, therefore, a misstatement when the assertion is made that "Nobody has thrown fits yet over the actors upown." Here is another bit of curious inconsistency which calls for an explanation: The critic says Mrs. Hapgood's experiment did not extend to the people, but to connoisseurs only, and in the next breath the admission is made that the experiment proved enjoyable to MANY. Possibly, "many connoisseurs," is meant, but did the Negro players appear five weeks or more to connoisseurs only? "Connoisseur" is defined in the dictionary as follows: "Taken from the French word connaiture, meaning to know; well-skilled in any art; an adept, a skillful or clever person." And yet it is the "connoisseur" who is spoken of lightly in the Sun for evincing appreciation for the Negro players. The majority of plays produced in New York acted by white people "do not extend to the people," some seeing far less than a six weeks' run as enjoyed by the Negro players. Some plays are short-lived although the critics refer to them in the most glowing terms. Another sample of the Sun critic's hot weather philosophy follows: Of course, more experienced observers of the theatre know there is no Negro drama in the Americas, and not only will be. The Negro as a force has limitations which would always interfere with his larger influence in the drama. Mrs. Hagood's experiment was a highly interesting bric-a-brac but nothing more. It was unfortunate for the proclamations of the belated discovery of the Negro theatre that they did not appear in the amiable monthly magazines until the men had taken up their care of the women washing and the women had gone back to the washub. * * * What the Negro can do for the theatre was well established long ago. When the famous "Jim Crow" impersonation made the humor of the race immortal its creator copies the gait and manner of a Negro he had seen and studied. The American Negro in later years "inspired many comedians to perform many Negroes who really were capable in themselves of any deliberate comedy. They appeared in Negro ministries a score of years ago; they have been recently seen in musical plays and they occasionally act in the varieties. But as entertainers consciously striving to create laughter by the art of or even to apical to more serious emotions they are not successful, since, with self-consciousness, their spontaneity and naturalism disappear. If, as the critic of the Sun would have us believe, that the cast of the Negro players was made up of white washers and washerwoman, the Negro race should feel highly complimented over the creditable showing made by them and greatly encouraged over the Negro's future in drama. Surely if they could make connoisseurs wax enthusiastic there must have been merit in their work. I am wondering what kind of a showing white washerwomen and white-washers would have done of the same ability. One white man years ago studied and copied the gait of one Negro. This one impersonation therefore gave the American Negro his status on the stage, forever and anon. It is probable that the sun was casting its warmest rays when this lurid thought was penned. With apologies to Mr. Shakespeare, this is "the most insane statement of all." It is in this particular instance that the Sun critic shows how little he knows of the Negro in art, business or anything else. He is evidently one of those poor deluded white Americans who has formed his opinion of the Negro from coming in contact with one or two just as did the white actor of whom he so reverentially speaks. Or has been discussing the race question with some professional Southerner? Too bad! The hundred of colored vaudevillians will be surprised to learn that Negroes "occasionally act in the varieties," and it will be a bit of news to the colored Thespians that they are so frightfully self-conscious: Self-consciousness is not a racial trait by any means. It is more a mark of the anatme. In view of the big colored theatrical companies we have had and the commendation received by many colored comedians in musical comedy and vaudeville to make an effort to disapprove the charge that the Negro has been a failure as an entertainer would be a mere "waste of time." I could inflict THE AGE readers with other misstatements made by the critic, but why be too brutal? And remember, the midsummer heat was responsible for the rattings of the writer on the *Sui*, so don't think of him too harshly. Don't take him seriously. What he needs is a long vacation. LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK "Charley's Aunt" has a rare record. It has been played from coast to coast and everywhere large audiences have roared at its ridiculous situations, its eccentric characters, and its amenable surprises. It has been one of those successes which never seem to diminish. "Charley's Aunt" is built up by a master hand of comedy effects; two young fellows, one of them Charley, desire to entertain two young friends, a boy and a girl of polite society, have agreed that Charley's aunt, an estimable lady, who is to arrive from Brazil that day, is to act as the chaperone. The young lady consents, but at the crucial moment the aunt fails to appear and the girl is left alone. The agreement with the young ladies. Then a friend of Charley's, Fancourt Babery, called "Bab" for short, happens in and he is pressed into service. Having a routine which he has secured a private-theatrical life becomes. Charley becomes the party. From this he creates the seemingly funny situations arise thick and fast. The musical numbers in "Charley's Aunt" are all of the latest, among them, several just off the press, but assured hits. Miss Mitchell will again have a surprise number. Mr. Brown, as usual, will spring a new one, and Mjss Sutton will "rag" some. Little Miss Gilliam has some. thing worth while. Miss Clough tells us she will put_one_over and as for Mr. Mores she will will "Nuf Sed." Messrs. Olden, Townsend, Cooke and Robinson will also be heard from. Miss Townsend girls, headed by Ruth Ruffin are librarians who kick themselves into favor and the boys are striving hard to keep up with them. All in all we look for a big treat in "Charley's Aunt." LINCOLN BEAT CUBANS. If the Cuban-Stars of Havana are not careful they will make a reputation for themselves as rowdyies on the ball field and in this country. The conduct of one hot-headed Cuban at Olympic Field Sunday, who took a smash at Umpire Oldus, and then tried to grab a bat to do the umpire harm, having taken exception to Oldus' ruling of being declared out on second, broke up the last game, first hit the ninth.

New York Defeats Baltimore in Inter- City, Teenage Mabb The Monumental tennis players of Baltimore received the only setback on their trip North when they struck Gutpham. They received one of the biggest surprises of their tennis career, and when they left for home Sunday were convinced, as they expressed themselves, "that New York has become the greatest tennis center in the country," and as ever wilder racquets, and by their courteous demeanor, on and off the courts, and their ready acceptance of all close decisions, for or against them, endearded themselves to the New-York players as well as the spectators. Some of the finest and cleanest playing was witnessed on the Harlem Courts Friday and Saturday, and the clever collecting and placing of the ball at different times evoked much enthusiasm. The Baltimoreans had overwhelmed Wilmington and Philadelphia, winning in each city seven matches out of eight played. They were quite confident when they struck this town that the score was 6-4, with the smaller margin. Every man on the visiting team met defeat in either singles or doubles, which gives an idea of the calibre of the playing New York produced for their entertainment. Six matches in singles were played on Friday, and New York was successful in the first round, played in totenhout form on both days, easily defeated their best player, Dr. Gardozo, 6-2, 6-2; the Rev. Dr. Walker, with his unerring accuracy and careful placing, overcame their next player, R. Reckling, 6-1, 7-5. W. Ramsey was slightly over-confident and lost a crucial player in 'W. Braxton. J. Stevens simply bewildered Dr. McCard with his puzzling and brilliant strokes to the score of 6-4, 6-4.[3] N Bain played a hard and close match with R. Cook, which was anybody's game until the fast stroke was played. He finally lost 6-4, 6-4.[4] Played Wheeler and had little difficulty in disposing of him, 6-4, 6-1. The matches in doubles were played on Saturday, and in addition four supplementary matches were arranged to complete the day's program. Walker and Ramsey and Woolf, who played with sharp and exciting exchanges, defeated them 6-4, 7-5. The match that seemed to cause the greatest interest, and enthusiasm, was between the crack Flushing Tennis Club's team, Jones and Norman and the team of Reckling. It was nip and tuck from start to finish. The Baltimore team was in fine form and took the first set handily, but the home team came back strong and won the other two, when things seemed at times hopeless. Jones' combined with Norman deserved playing was too much for the visitors. The other doubles match Heron and Austin against Cardozo and McCard, was extremely interesting. After leaving 0 on Friday with a score 9-9, the team lost 1-0 to Cardozo, set 7-3 but lost the other two after a hard and plucky fight, 13-11, 2-6, 4-6. This completed the scheduled set of matches. New York winning 6 and Baltimore 3. Several supplementary matches were played in which New York again show me beatable, easily defeated, who seemed out of their best, 6-1, 6-3, and Spooner did the same to Wheeler, 6-2, 6-3. Stevens took on Cardozo, 6-2, 6-3. Stevens him closely, but lost 4-6, 5-7. Ramsey and Reckling started a match, but had to stop on account of darkness, 1-6, 4-6. New York lost, New York 2, Baltimore 1. Tie 1 The visiting players were entertained Haines and expressed themselves as be- lieve. ing quite pleased at their, treatment in the metropolis (not in tennis). They were. frank enough to admit that. New York was a "surprise party" to them in the net game, but, were pleased because they realized. what wonderful progress been made in the development of the game. They extend cordial invitation to 'New York players to visit Baltimore and enjoy their courts and hospitality. They are especially anxious to have this city represented at the 'National Tournament, as well as at the Executive Committee meeting of the National body when it meets during Tournament week.
