IN GREAT, ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. Two Factions of Baptists May Consolidate in the Near Future; Peace Plans Being Considered There is some likelihood of the two factions of colored Baptists in the United States, known respectively as the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, and the National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated, settling their differences and reuniting in the near future. The white Southern Baptist Convention is behind the movement to consolidate the two organizations, and the work of bringing about harmony already has been started. Both conventions met in annual sessions last week, the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, the Rev. E. C. Morris, president, meeting at Maskoe, Oklahoma, and the National Baptist Conference, 1985. The American Christian Church, President, assembling at Atlanta, Dr. J. B. Gambrell, president of the White Southern Baptist Convention, and the American Christian Church, was chosen as the next place of meeting. There are over two million Negro Baptists in the United States. Since the big split at Chicago in 1915, there have been two national organizations, two rival publishing houses in the same city, two national Sunday School congresses, and the National Christian Church, which are the first to form a joint organization. Two foreign missionaries to divide the work in Africa, two Baptist ministers' conferences in some cities and The presence of the two prominent white Baptist members at Atlanta and Muskegan created quite a stir and became one of the top topics on the radio, both because the delegates at Muskegan and Atlanta informed the visitors that they were in favor of warning if a consolidation could be brought about without surrendering any of the principles for which either good Dr. Gambrell and Dr. Halley worked that a working basis could be worked out which would prove agreeable to all. Incorporated at First Turns Down Peace Plan. Two hours before the representatives of the white Southern Baptist Convention had arrived at Muskogee the convention had voted down the following peace resolution which had been offered by the Rev. R. C. Judkins of Jerry City: Whereas all indications point to anger and large opposing forces at the close of the world war And whereas it is the spirit of Christianity to bring into closer union all who love our blessed Lord Jesus, as evidenced in His prayer in Gethsemene "Father, I pray for them that they may be one as we are one." And whereas division creates trouble, I feel and perpetuates abuse: And whereas the division in our denomination creates a spirit of antagonism in many State conventions, district associations, ministers' conferences and churches; therefore, be it Resolved, That we implore our ministers and the members of our churches to engage in "serious, humble prayer that the Great husbandman of the vineyard will speedily come to His vineyard and bring peace among his workmen; be it further Resolved, That we ask our speakers and officers and editors to refrain from all unkind remarks from us, and to differ from us, and finally be it. Resolved, That this convention appoint a committee of five to confer with a similar committee which we will ask our brethren meeting in Atlanta, Ga., to appoint to confer on terms of peace and reunion The National Baptist Convention, incorporated, met in the large auditorium, while the Women's National Baptist Convention held forth at one of the local Baptist churches, Mrs. S. W. Layne presiding. The southern states sent large delegations and other sections of the country were well represented. Welcoming addresses were delivered by prominent state and municipal officials, and the Rev. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., eloquently responded. Among those taking part on the program were Dr. E. C. Morris, the Revs. Ribbens, D. F. Thompson, E. W. Johnson, W. A. Bowren and W. A. Creed. The election of officers resulted as follows: Dr. E. C. Morris president; Dr W. W Parks, vice-president at large; Prof R. B. Hudson, secretary; Dr R. A. J. Stokes, treasurer. The convention adjourned to meet next September in Newark, N. J. Interesting Convention at Atlanta. Pully two thousand delegates attended session of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, held at Atlanta, nearly every state in the Union was attended.

Some of the features of the session were the ratification of the purchase of the theological seminary site, located at Vallejo, valued at $100,000; the moving to the headquarters of Educational Institute; and the establishment of the Foreign Mission Board headquarters at Louisville. The election of officers, resulted as election of officers resulted as Dr. F. P. Jones, president; Robt. Mackrell, vice president; T. Hall. vice-president; W. Jones, vice-pres- cident; C. P.

L A special correspondent of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle devoted an afternoon last week to the Second Battalion of the Fifteenth Regiment and the work the soldiers are doing at Camp Upton, Yankee, Long Island. The detachment is composed chiefly of Brooklynites, with a snattering from Glen Cove, Bay Shore and Babylon. The men are unique in many respects, but their chief claim to local fame seems to be their hunger for work and more work. They have been in the field since July 21, going direct to Camp Whitman on that date and remaining there until a month ago, when they were dumped into the wilderness after a long period of rest and resting. They do all the guard duty and many other unpleasant tasks come to them as a matter of course, but they are the happiest men in the cantonment. The piano has been installed in the Y. M. C. A. tent, near their quarters, tinkles from early morning until taps are sounded at 10:30 o'clock. There are 605 men in the battalion. Their representative citizens as Major Morris, Lieutenant Durant Rice, who has the Cross for Valor, conferred upon him by the French Government more than a year ago for distinguished gallantry while under fire as a member of the American Hospital Unit; Lieutenant Eric Winston, the national squash champion; Captain John Clark, Captain D. F. Cobb, Captain J. W. Scott and Lieutenant Richard Pratt, Public Services Commissioner Hasward commands the regiment. Swinging down from the officers to the enlisted men you find well-known jockeys, a few prize fighters of more or less degree, and a host of ex-chefs in the leading hotels. Fifteenth Ranks High a a Regiment. Without question the regiment as a whole and the Brooklyn battalion in particular ranks exceptionally high. A Regular Army officer who visited the camp yesterday remarked: "The men among soldiers again. The men are exceptional" Judged from a physical standpoint they are truly a remarkable aggregation. True, the battalion contains no giants but one, all are remarkably well built and in excellent physical condition. Their step is light and their hearts are lighter. On every side is a quip and its resultant gale of laughter. The Fifteenth boys know how to laugh, which MER 20, 1917.

But in that part of the world it was more up by Then all the rest of the German the port, has given out the detailed account of the U boat atrocity. There were two other survivors, Thomas Bowman, a Britishiser, and George Salisky, a Russian. The following account of the treachery of the U boat captain after the Belgian Prince had been captured, is told by Sebastian. "Our captain first got aboard the U boat. He went into the conning tower and won the steps. That was the last we saw of him. Then this commander fellow in the plain clothes watches us climb up on the submarine's deck, one at a time. He's got us covered, and so has the rest of the submarine's crew." "Line up there, single file" he says, and we string out the length of the U boat deck. Then he says, 'Take off your life belts.' We all took them and dropped them at our feet. Then this commander goes along the whole line, feeling each fellow's pocket to see if he has a gun or a knife, he kicks the knife out and runs back overboard. "My life belt I dropped between my feet, and the raincoat kind of covered it, so he didn't see it." This commander and the other U boat men were swearing at us and pushing us around as they searched us. I'm a husky boy, and I came near taking a punch at some of them but knew I wouldn't do it. "When the three lifeboats from the Belgian Prince were empty the submarine man took out their provisions—whiskey, crackers, corned beef and stuff SEVEN BROTHERS IN Camp Upton, L.

There is a tendency now to segregate Negroes in everything of a public nature, and we regret to say that some bf of our colored leaders, spurred on by ambition and desire, are right to selfish desire rather than labor for the general good. We have no German, Irish, Jewish, Italian or French schools. Only the colored people are ranked as unworthy of association; regardless of their ability, morals or wealth.

PETERSBURG NORMAL (Special to The New York Times) FIRE DESTROYS TWO COATTAGES AT SARATOGA (Special to The New York Am) Saratoga Springs, N. Y.—The Rockviers' cottage, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pinkney, proprietors, and the home of Mrs. Harriet Johnson, both on Cowen street, were destroyed by fire on the morning of September 16. Nothing but wearing apparel was saved from the Rockview cottage. The furniture was all destroyed. The loss is partially covered by insurance. Mrs. Johnson's furniture was saved. Mrs. Pinkney and her niece, Miss Hattie Bowers, of Washington, who were sleeping in the Rockview were saved by Policeman Billings and George Simmons, a member of the 15 regiment, who was home on a furlough with his brother, R. Simmons. It is thought the fire started in a shed between the two buildings. didn't think I could ever swim to her. I started for her, though." "A fellow called. to me late that night." "A fellow called. to me late that night. He hollered: 'Who's there, swimming?' And I hollered; 'The cook.' I saw him ten or twenty yards off, a white sailor, I forgot his name. He hollered: 'Lemme put my hands on your shoulders, cook. I ain't got a belt or nothing. I'm about all gone.' And I hollered back: 'I can't do it, Jack; I’m near through too.' So the sailor says: 'Well, goodby, then, cook. I can go no further, and I saw him sink. It was hard. He was a nice fellow, this sailor. "The only time I ever really gave up, all through the night and morning was when this patroller passed me." Snell said. "I knew they saw me, and I thought they weren't going to pick me up. I stopped swimming then and didn't care what happened. So when they came back and lowered a boat they came to put rope around me and haul me in. I was so happy this was about 7 o'clock in the morning." For three days Snell was in a hospital at Londonderry. His magnificent physique and constitution saved him. When he was discharged he was as well as ever. He gave his story (as did the other-two survivors—who were rescued by the same patrol vessel) to the Admiral, the authorities, returned to Liverpool, that he then shipped as cook, onug 26. aboard the freighter Kenmore, bound for Boston. TO SUCCEED CUMMINGS IN BALTIMORE COUNCIL (Special to The New York Ack.) BALTIMORE—JAMES N. Young, the Republican organization candidate, was re-elected Republican State Central Committeeman in the Seventeenth Ward Tuesday, defeating Daniel W. Richardson and Israel P. Brown, the last named running a bad third. Richardson's friends claim that Brown, finding he could not win, threw his support to Young. Young is a cog in the old machine of Harry S. Cummings, who died recently. The fight in the ward is regarded as having a bearing on the election for city council, 1919. As it is concealed that the city council, being Democratic, will not elect a colored man to succeed Cummings, the ward will be represented by a Democrat until the municipal election in 1919. George A. Watty, W. L. Fitzgerald, Robert J. Young, Dr. E. V. Stokes and Louis H. Davenport are among those mentioned for the 1919 race for the nomination. Philadelphia, Pa.-Charles T. Dorsay, 70 years old, celebrated the forty-first anniversary of his entrance into service at the Union League Club. He is one of the oldest employees in point of service at the Union League Club, congratulations of members and employees is married and lives at 2220 Oxford street. It was past midnight when members of the Colored Woman's Suffrage Club of New York City reached an agreement to adjourn after having convened Thursday evening, September 13, at 1 o'clock and throubled out the question of the status of the colored woman in the New York City Woman Suffrage Party. The meeting was held at the headquarters of the club, 2285 Seventh avenue, and a good-sized audience composed of women and men, was present. The conclusions reached were that the status of the colored woman is exactly the same as that of the white women. Mrs. John Humphrey Walks, suffrage chairman of Manhattan, being one of the speakers to render valuable assistance in causing those present to arrive at such a viewpoint. Most of the addresses were musually lengthy, and there were several spirited tits. The meeting was called to order. Mrs. Annie K. Lewis, the secretary of the Saratoga convention, ordered delegation had been allowed, and that the meeting had been called to consider and refute such a charge. According to Mrs. Lewis, the colored delegates received the same treatment as the white delegates, having been given delegate badges, were seated on the floor of the convention hall with the New York City representation, had been allowed a vote on all questions that came up, and initially treated in private conversations. Mrs. Helen Christian, another colored delegate, stated that she had attended every session of the convention and had not seen the slightest indication on the part of anyone to snub the colored women who were made welcome as the white women to all privileges and courtesies. Mrs. Sharperson Young was next ended on by the president to state what dispute was involved. Saratoga, Mrs. Young being accused of belonging to the faction which had raised the cry of unfair treatment, Mrs. Young refused, to accept the invitation extended to speak. Quite a verbal battle ensued when Mrs. Goode arose and aired her opinions about the colored suffragists of Harlem and their affiliations, advancing the idea that colored women ought to be independent organization. As Mrs. Goode, the independent organization, as Colored Women's Suffrage Club she was informed that she had no voice in the meeting and was asked to sit down. Miss Annie Mathews, suffrage leader of the district, gave an historical account of the organization of the Woman's Suffrage Party in New York City and its work, stating that she had valued the women, among the colored women and that the central relations existed between white and colored suffragists. Mrs. Watkine Speaks. In speaking of the status of the colored woman in the suffrage party Mrs. John Humphrey Watkins, suffragist chairman, said: "The status of the colored woman is exactly the same as that of the white woman if she conforms to the rules and regulations of the party. We member who five cents dues from each member who five cents have woe at meetings. Every colored woman is interested in suffrage work, who pays her dues, who works heart and soul for woman suffrage is welcome into our ranks. Our offices are given to people not out of compliment but as a reward for earnest and efficient work. The system we used to have of being a union of clubs has gone out. Today the Women Suffrage Party is organized along those of the political parties, with a leader in each assembly district and a captain in each election district." "Clubs are not given recognition, but, on the other hand, we do not discourage the formation of them if women in any group wish for the sake of sociability and convenience to have them. I came here to offer you all that the Women Suffrage Party can offer you. It is this—you can in each of your assembly districts the 13th, 19th and 20th nominate a woman to serve the leader under the leader of the district, you can further nominate a woman to serve you, in the borough organization you will be given the position of a vice leader in the borough of Manhattan. n, falling out or breaking off, you should not delay but write at once for ```markdown ``` MR.

THIRTY YEARS AGO. Thirty years ago this month the name of THE NEW YORK AGE was assumed by this publication. It has been published regularly every week since then under that title. This in itself is no mean achievement, considering the difficulties incident to the existence of our race journals. Previous to 1887, the paper had appeared as the New York Freeman for about two years, and for a longer period as the New York Globe. Many changes have taken place during the generation that has passed since the present name of the paper was adopted, and it may be of interest to indulge in a retrospect of the conditions that prevailed at that time. Grover Cleveland was then President of the United States, the first Democratic President since the Civil War. Frederick D. Grant, eldest son of General U. S. Grant, was just entering upon his disastrous campaign for Secretary of State of New York. William H. Johnson of Albany, was the additional member of the Republican State Committee, to represent the colored voters of New York State. Dr. John E. W. Thompson, a young New York physician, was the Minister to Haiti; Moses A. Hopkins was Minister to Liberia; James M. Trotter of Boston, was Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, after Mr. Cleveland's fruitless attempts to secure the confirmation of James H. Matthews of Albany. H. C. C. Astwood was Consul at San Domingo. All of these were members of the race. William H. Dupree was pointed to as the type of official efficiency as the Superintendent of Post Office Station A, Boston, while Harry C. Smith of the Cleveland Gazette was still wreathed with the laurels of successful songwriting as the author of "Be True, Bright Eyes." Dr. C. N. Dorsette of Montgomery, Ala., had won a place alongside of Dr. J. Marton Sims by the performance of a remarkable surgical operation, while Prof. Kelly Miller had entered upon his scholarly career at Howard University. Dr. Booker T. Washington was laying the foundation for his great work at Tuskegee. In the local field, Dr. Philip A. White was conducting his wholesale and retail drug business in lower New York and at the same time serving as a member of the Brooklyn Board of Education, having been appointed by Mayor Seth Low as the first representative of the race in that capacity. Warren S. Kissam in Brooklyn and George A. Francis on Sixth avenue were the practice Dr. D. R. McDonogh had been succeeded by Des. P. A. Johnson and Wm. M. Lively. Samuel R. Scottron was the inventor and manufacturer of adjustable mirrors and other devices. L. H. Latimer had designed his incandescent electric light and automatic arc light, and George A. Harley his combination comb and haircutter. Profs. Charles L. Reason, Charles A. Dorsey and John Q. Allen were the leading local school principals. Isaac A. Graves had entered upon his career as the pioneer real-estate broker of the race and a member of the Board of Real Estate Brokers. James H. Matthews and Cook and Davis were the undertakers, while Robert H. Bundy was the leading barber. Among the churches the Rev. Daniel W. Wisher had entered upon his energetic career as pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist Church, while the Rev. William B. Derrick was beginning his religious and political activities at Bethel, then on Sullivan street. Zion was at the old home at West Tenth and Bleecker streets, Abyssinian on Waverly Place, and St. Philip's just removed to West Twenty-fifth street. Prof. T. McCants Stewart was leaving the church for the law, John F. Quarles, the pioneer in that profession, having died a few years previously. Charles Taylor was an attorney and notary, while Jacob H. Simms began his practice at the bar a few years later. Walter F. Craig soon inaugurated his successful career as a musician, his card now having appeared regularly in this paper for a quarter of a century. Albert F. Mando had also organized the Mozart Music School. Among the fraternal organizations Howard Union Lodge of Odd Fellows was celebrating its annual festivities, while the Grand Army of the Republic was actively represented by Thaddeus Stevens and John A. Andrew posts. The West Indian Benevolent Association had changed its name from the Danish West Indian Benevolent Society. In Brooklyn, then a separate city, Pastor William T. Dixon fathered Concord Baptist Church, and the Brooklyn Literary Union was soon to become a centre of community interest. The Rev J. Beulah Murray was "holding the fort" despite internal church dissensions, while the Rev William H. Thomas and the Rev James Tappen were familiar figures at Bridge Street A. M. E. Church. Dr. Peter W. Ray was conspicuous both as a physician and pharmacist, being for many years treasurer of the Brooklyn Pharmaceutical Society. The bulk of the colored population was then concentrated in New York on Macdougal and Cornelius streets, and among the numbered streets south of 59th and west of Sixth avenue. The movement to Harlem was yet in the future, undreamed of by, the most farsighted real estate man. The catering business and the supervising of downtown office buildings were still lucrative occupations. Looking back across the span of the life of a generation immeasurable progress can be noted, especially in a material way. In the acquisition of property much has been accomplished. The churches and other organizations have erected new edifices, replete with every modern accessory. Housing conditions for the bulk of the race are upon a vastly improved scale, with the latest improvements in the way of sanitation and comfort. The number of home owners has increased, both in Harlem and in Brooklyn. With the removal of the color line in the schools, both as it affected pupils and teachers, equal facilities are afforded the youth of both races, in acquiring the knowledge that shall fit them for future usefulness. All this THE AGE has seen and in a large measure helped to bring about. Nevertheless, much remains to be Dudley Field Malone in a letter to President Wilson about a column in length resigned the collectorship of the port of New York to devote himself to the work of helping the women to secure the passage of the Federal Suffrage Amendment to the Constitution. The New York World; in defending the Administration against the attack made in Mr. Malone's letter, points out the danger to the sovereignty of the states in any such legislation. In a long editorial, the World holds that to amend the Federal Constitution because there are temporary obstacles to the amendment of the constitutions of the various states is a dangerous political experiment which, if applied would ultimately destroy the states. We are very much interested in the cause of woman suffrage, and we can see no more danger to the sovereignty of the states in the adoption of a Federal Suffrage Amendment than in the adoption of an Income Tax Amendment or an amendment providing for the election of senators by popular vote. Furthermore, we feel that these antiquated political doctrines which the World so religiously holds up are not prompted by any fear that independent state government would be threatened, as by a desire to defend the Administration. The whole article would have passed without any comment in this column had it not contained the following sentences: The Negro was enfranchised by an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and the political consequences have been hardly less deplorable than the Civil War itself. The amendment was eventually nullified in every Southern State and no Congress, Democratic or Republican, has ever dared to enforce it. Instead of befeiting by it, the Negro has been its victim, and to-day it may be said that no Negro votes who would not vote if the Fifteenth Amendment had never been adopted, while tens of thousands of Negroes, who might otherwise be voting under State laws, are disenfranchised because of the race animosities for which the Fifteenth Amendment is largely responsible. The above is an old but oft repeated statement, and is one that should be contradicted every time it is made, especially when it is made through such a medium as the World. The results of the enfranchisement of the Negro have not been what was desired, but the outcome is not due to the fact that he was given the vote, but to the fact that he was given nothing else but the vote. When the Negro was given the franchise, he was clad only with the Emancipation Proclamation, and held only a piece of paper in his hand, which he was told was the ballot. He did not have a dollar, he did not own a foot of ground, and so, economically, he was absolutely at the mercy of his former masters. Is there any wonder then that the piece of paper was snatched out of his hand? The mere enfranchisement of the Negro was equivalent to a law proclaiming that lambs have equal rights with wolves, and leaving the lambs to enforce the law. What the government should have done was to protect the Negro in his right of franchise until the right became established. But, taking the darkest view possible of Negro enfranchisement and reconstruction, the World's statement that "the political consequences have been hardly less deplorable than the Civil War itself" is sheer nonsense. That is, it is sheer nonsense so far as it applies to anything done or left undone by the Negro himself. Perhaps, the deplorable political consequences to which the World refers comprise the nullification of Federal laws, the double interpretation of state laws, the political trickery and the killing of all minority opinion to which the South has resorted. But for the South to plead that it did these things because the Negro possessed the ballot would be the same as for a burglar to plead that his crime should be blamed on the victim for having a lot of money in his house. We cannot even guess upon what the World bases its inference that tens of thousands of Negroes would now be voting in the South if the Fifteenth Amendment had never been adopted. Nothing the South has ever said or done has given ground for such a statement. For the cause of "race animosities," the World will have to go a bit farther and a bit deeper than the Fifteenth Amendment. It is a very topsy-turvy conclusion to reach, to say that the Negro is disfranchised in the South to-day—BECAUSE THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT WAS ENACTED! "PSYCHOLOGICAL" EXPLANATION OF HOUSTON. Comments on the Houston affair have been many and varied. Some editors have placed the blame on prejudice, others have placed it on police stupidity or meanness, and others still have charged the whole matter up to an error of the War Department in sending colored troops into the South. However, the editor of the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner comes up with an entirely different explanation. He claims that the Negro accomplished along constructive lines in the matter of business and community upbuilding. There is need for more concerted effort in cooperative business enterprises. Many have been attempted, but few have succeeded. While individuals have achieved success along business lines, cooperative effort has not been properly developed. During this period of growth and expansion, THE AGE has labored steadfastly as a chronicler and advocate of the race. It has always supported those men and measures that it believed would work for the betterment and upbuilding of the race along all lines of development. It has endeavored to set forth fully and impartially all movements that aimed at the general good, eschewing the merely sensational and scandalous. In its efforts it has been largely supported by its friends and the friends of the race in all sections. At the same time THE AGE has steadily grown in circulation and in influence. It has increased in size and multiplied its activities in all departments. Every development of the situation, both local and general, affecting race interests has been accorded the attention its importance merited. With the increase of its subscription list, its power for usefulness has redoubled, and this power has been exercised in fullest measure possible, to serve the best interests of the race and the nation. The Age has no objection to the Illinois Idea and other race journals republishing its editorials verbatim, but we respectfully ask that the ethics of journalism be observed. Please give us due credit. This request is also made of the Colorado Statesman and other papers which have so generously helped themselves to our articles in the past without making mention that they were extracted from our columns. troops at Houston undoubtedly responded to a call of the wail. He states that it would not have been possible for white troops of any section or nationality to have committed this "act of men not far removed from savagery." He goes on to say: It was all peculiarly Negro-like, as the Negro is understood by those who know him. First the pomposity of power, the sudden frenzy and indiscriminate savage assault and the panic that soon ensued, the individual rioters, so bold at first, scattering and seek- ing cover. In plain words, the opinion of the Nashville Banner is, if you scratch a Negro you find a savage. Its opinion is, the veneer.of civilization over the Negro is so thin that the savage is likely to show through at any time. This is an extremely satisfying theory for a "superior" race to hold, but it is not very convincing when put forward by the "superior" people that inhabit the State of Tennessee. To substantiate that remark, we ask the editor of the Banner to give a psychological explanation of the action told about in the following paragraphs which were published in the "Memphis Press," May 22, 1917: Someone produced a 10-gallon can of gasoline and it was poured on the Negro. Then those in the back started pushing and those in front began yelling, and amid a scene of tremendous disorder the flames suddenly shot over the heads of the crowd and those on the outside knew that the axi friend was burning. While the fire, starting at his feet, crept slowly toward his face, a 10-year-old Negro boy was placed on the other end of the log. "Take a good look, boy," someone told him. "We want you to remember this the longest day you live. This is what happens to niggers who molest white women." Slash Off Ears. Two men darted in and with knives slashed the Negro's ears from his head. Other men fought the crowd back to keep it from following their example. Body Mutilated To Get Pieces As Souvenirs. After Ell Person, the ax fire members of the crowd helped hands covered with blood, cut out them as souvenirs to the crowd's clothing, and finally the head was on the bank leading to the road, leg were later brought to Memphis. While the editor of the Nash his psychological explanation of related above it is perhaps needed performed by white men and women. Miami, Fla, is a small city, country. There are two main reasons it is the mainland terminus of the in which no Negro is allowed to tourists travelling in their own to go through Miami in safety. A short while ago, colored but was abused and maltreated through the public streets. This the "Miami law," and the city colored people to operate automated patrons.

The very fact that the Negro tax of the white race, should secure for than would be accorded an equal, as old as christendom, that minor's own affairs and safeguard their own consideration than those capable of. We wonder if the editor of through his head and heart that whole business is that this color protect his own interests? We wonder if he can appreciate of a man who, as he says, is a "r successful business man" as a man. We wonder if he cannot see a man who has property worth more cash, to leave the management of his rights in the hands of the lart tobacco-chewing crackers that in Ell Person, the ax fiend, had been burned to 6 of the crowd helped to mutilate the body.

One man, his hands covered with blood, cut out the heart and the lungs and offered them as souvenirs to the crowd. Others cut off toes and pieces of clothing, and finally the head was severed from the body and placed on the bank leading to the road, so all might see. The head and a leg were, later brought to Memphis. While the editor of the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner is arriving at his psychological explanation of the savage, brutal, inhuman acts related above it is perhaps needless to remind him that they were performed by white men and women, too, of his own State. DOWN IN MIAMI. Fla, is a small city, but one of the best there are two main reasons for its being so land terminus of the Flagler Railroad, and Negro is allowed to drive an automobile selling in their own automobiles have not, with Miami in safety, if they had colored ago, colored physician of Miami purified and maltreated when he attempted to public streets.

This was quite a concession—the above merely to establish the character to throw into contrast the seemingly strange reading newspaper of the city coming out of lending a colored citizen against a certain material opens by stating that a "reputable Negro and successful business man" sold a tractor for a park. The city promised to pay a portion the colored man who owned it mortgage that was on the tract, and deed it to that was some months ago, and the city had gives no satisfactory answer as to when, time, the article goes on to say, the colored interest on the $5,000 he borrowed. Miami newspaper raises a great protest against this colored man, and calls aloud for however, that is not the point that interest in whether this protest was called forth by one or by a desire to see the present city business. What really interested us was the truth we quote below: At all, though, the real explanation of this dispute the fact that Dorsey is a Negro, who has no right to a voice in the protection of his own race. Although a taxpayer and entitled to come not possess the political influence, which makes it easier to demand his rights and get recognition. In fact that the Negro taxpayer in Miami is practiced, should secure, for him even more careful he accorded an equal. It is a rule of the courts, aistendom, that minors and inferiores unable to buy and safeguard their own rights, are entitled to more than those capable of protecting themselves. Under if the editor of this Miami newspaper head and heart that the most disgraceful issue is that this colored man has no vote with own interests?

There are two main reasons for its being so widely known: it is the mainland terminus of the Flagler Railroad, and it is a town in which no Negro is allowed to drive an automobile. Northern tourists travelling in their own automobiles have not been allowed to go through Miami in safety, if they had colored chauffeurs. A short while ago, colored physician of Miami purchased a car, but was abused and maltreated when he attempted to drive it through the public streets. This incident led to a modification of the "Miami law," and the city council passed an ordinance allowing colored people to operate automobiles, if their operations were limited to colored patrons. This was quite a concession—for Miami. We cite the above merely to establish the character of the town of Miami, and to throw into contrast the seemingly strange performance of the leading newspaper of the city coming out in a column editorial defending a colored citizen against a certain action of the city council: The editorial opens by stating that a "reputable Negro who is a large taxpayer and successful business man" sold a tract of land to the city council for a park. The city promised to pay $7,000 for the land; thereupon the colored man who owned it borrowed $5,000 to pay off a mortgage that was on the tract, and deed it to the city free and clear. That was some months ago, and the city has not yet paid the $7,000 and gives no satisfactory answer as to when it will do so. In the meantime, the article goes on to say, the colored man involved is paying interest on the $5,000 he borrowed. This Miami newspaper raises a great protest against the treatment accorded to this colored man, and calls aloud for justice to be done him. However, that is not the point that interested us, for we are not certain whether this protest was called forth by a desire to see justice done or by a desire to see the present city government put out of business. What really interested us was the part of the editorial which we quote below: Behind it all, though, the real explanation of this disgraceful performance is the fact that Dorsey is a Negro, who has no vote and no recognized right to a voice in the protection of his own interests and those of his race. Although a taxpayer and entitled to consideration as such, he does not possess the political influence, which makes it possible for a white voter to demand his rights and get recognition. The very fact that the Negro taxpayer in Miami is practically a ward of the white race, should secure, for him even more careful consideration than would be accorded an equal. It is a rule of the courts and the law, as old as christendom, that minors and inferiors unable to manage their own affairs and safeguard their own rights, are entitled to much greater consideration than those capable of protecting themselves. We wonder if the editor of this Miami newspaper could get it through his head and heart that the most disgraceful part of the whole business is that this colored man has no vote with which to protect his own interests? We wonder if he can appreciate the utter absurdity of speaking of a man who, as he says, is a "reputable Negro, large taxpayer and successful business man" as a ward of the white race? We wonder if he cannot see the injustice in laws that compel a man who has property worth more than $7,000 and can borrow $5,000 cash, to leave the management of his affairs and the safeguarding of his rights in the hands of the large class of lazy, worthless, loafing, tobacco-chewing crackers that inhabit such a town as Miami.

WHAT THE RACE OUGHT TO KNOW. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGEN- It is a, pleasure to me to secure as many people as possible to read THE AGE, for it is just what is needed to enlighten them on what they ought to know about the race. F. A. WELTERS. St. Augustine, Fla. By William H. Byrne The cause is complex and not simple and categorical, for the greatest element in all the nation is the "Jim Crow car." It is than lynching: lynching occurs kills one man; the "Jim Crow" is petulantly tortures ten thousand. I am writing on board a Jim Car, from Little Rock, Ark, toward Louis, Mo.—a horrible night ride. Colored women have one end of a separation from smoking; white a partition that rises only part of a way from the floor toward the end of the car. All the smoke and and some of the oaths, come over. Some of these colored people have spent two nights in this same area coming all the way from the lower end of Texas. For them the name of a train must sound very much like it is "The Sunshine Special." Just behind us is a chair car for wide people, where they can stretch out rest with sanitary napkins under the heads. They have paid exactly the "first class" fare paid by these color passengers. But in the "Jim Crow" there are only straight-back seats with the dust and grime of neglect. Of these colored people are wide and some of them giving audible pressure to the wish, to reach Peter Bluff, the first stop in Missouri, so they can go back into that chair and out of the squawal and discount of this car-end. And some of the colored men are in the service of the United States, summoned from the corners of Texas to Newport News. You to be trained to fight for democracy in Europe; and because they travel practically all of the way through southern territory they must sit up for the nights and days, without change of clothing or a bite of warm food certainly a good preparation for less warfare. Then, "Why does the Negro leave the South?" Indeed! You would FEEL a large part of the answer if you could be on this train, in this "Jim Crow car, and share for one night the living of these people to reach the land that divides Missouri from Arkansas any other part of "the line" that rates Dixie from the rest of the "OVER THERE" AND HERE New York Sun. The Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hill just returned from "over there," in the pulpit of Plymouth County Brooklyn, and drew so terrible a picture of German "efficiency" in France and Belgium that the throng that the church was moved to gasps of her ror. Dr. Hillis had in the pulpit the recorder of "a thousand atrocities," includes hundreds of photographs of the bodies of aged priests, dead French and Belgian girls, with breasts cut off. Dr. girl's life, weight nothing against a German soldier's lust or the possibility the brute's handing his contamination the next soldier. Here is German ciency, for you! Dr. Hillis, in conclusion, asserted German-Americans here could stop war quickest of all by sending a mittee abroad to view the atrocities themselves. He quoted a German yer of international reputation as ing that Munsterberg of Harvard dead, was the "man higher up" German secret service here and significantly of men "in New York Brooklyn" whose mail and dispatch for Germany had been penetrated by English Government and found traitorous. Chicago Manufacturers' News Lincoln said something about the country not being able to endure slave and half free and his observation will apply to the present situation. He cannot give white people protection and deny it to colored people without causing trouble. The country, which will give all its citizens, a square area endure. The colorado are not getting a square deal. The colored people of Illinois are not getting a square area this very minute. Certain labor had much to do with inciting race not at East St. Louis, and a number of men and women were killed, white well as black. Did Illinois get excuse about it? Has anyone heard of clergyman preaching a sermon about the disgraceful events at East St. Louis Has any pulpit pictured the scenes of poor colored women with babes in their arms having their cloak torn from them and then stoned the Stephen of old? Many sermons about Belgium is what happened there have been preached. Why don't some of the preachers come to the rescue of the colored people? Why don't the newspapers more excited?

WALTON) WORD comes from the Middle West that the act of Fiddler, and Shelton will not be seen in vaudeville this season, and that simply Shelton has become prominently identified with a musical communication in his old home town of Indianapolis. As to the future movements of Harry Fiddler, very much is known at present. Maybe he intends taking a long vacation—something he could well afford to do and then have a tidy sum in the bank for the proverbial rainy day. For a number of years the act of Fiddler and Shelton has been known as the most refined colored man in vaudeville, a distinction to which it became heir after the replacement of Cole and Johnson. For several seasons Fiddler and Shelton enjoyed much popularity over the North and Orpheum Circuits; later they went over to Loew, the two comedians stating at the time that they did not mind doing three shows a day as long as they received the desired financial remuneration. With hundreds of foreign acts coming to America, creating an crowded market and making the supply far greater than the demand, Fiddler and Shelton experienced for the past two seasons the same difficulty as many standard acts that of securing compensation for their services commensurate with their ability and standing as goodville artists. It may be that this is the chief reason for their retirement, which after all, may be only temporary. But us hope that Fiddler and Shelton will be seen before the footprints in the near future, for the colored theatrical profession could be afforded to lose two such clever artists who, at all times, have been involved on and off the stage. Another well known act which, according to Dame Rumor, will grace the boards this season is the Kemps—Bob and Mae. For many years this team has traveled up and down the vaudeville circuits and is known from coast to coast. "Bobby," as he is generally called, through flirting somewhere around the half century mark in age, is yet the possessor of a tenor voice of much sweetness and power; and when the music begins to play he can prance about like a two-year-old. Mae Kemp can put over a song with her oldtime effectiveness, but has tired of traveling, finding "home, sweet home" far more enjoyable than the theatrical boarding house. Kemp and Howard will be the name of the new act in which "Bobby" Kemp will be the moving light, having taken for a partner the comedian of the one-time team of Howard and Mason. Another piece of unauthorized news from the Middle West is that Brooks and Bowen may not be seen together this season, which, if true, is to be deeply regretted, for Shelton Brooks and Clarence Bowen have made a name as classy singing comedians. The illness of Clarence Bowen necessitated the cancellation of dates toward the end of last season. Cooper and Smith, who were favored with consecutive booking but season will not be seen together this year unless their opinions have undergone a radical change from what they were a short time ago. Chris Smith and Henry Troy have been seriously thinking of joining hands and presenting a vaudeville turn. With Chris Smith at the piano and Henry Troy doing the principal solo work they ought to provide some real entertainment. During August it was reported that Downs and Gomez would be another act of standing to dissolve partnership. However their many admirers are hoping to see these two talented singers together when the season is well on its way. For a number of seasons Downs and Gomez made quite reputation as singers of high class numbers. It is most gratifying to learn that some of the standard teams will be seen on the larger vaudeville circuits this season, notable among them being Miller and Lyles and Moos and Frye. Big colored acts of the Jazz variety seem to be getting the preference over the Keith Circuit, but the regrettable part about this feature is that these turns are owned by white men. It is almost as difficult for a colored person to organize an act and win just recognition as it would be for a German to get into Paris and secure the kindly consideration of the French people. Such a condition should not exist; particularly over the Keith and Loew Circuits, where colored performers in spite, of unfair treatment, have ever been loyal. In the various strikes engineered by the White Rats, the colored vaudevillian has evinced that trait, for which the race is known the world over—loyalty. There ought to be compensation of some kind for this friendly attitude, and Messrs. Albee and Loew would be doing the square thing were they to book more colored acts over their respective circuits this season. Several days ago I heard a discussion in which the statement was made that the only box-office attraction in vaudeville to-day would be Bert Williams. I did not take part in the argument, (which was in a barber shop) but during the animated cross fire of words, words nothing but words, I asked myself the following question: "I wonder what sort of a drawing card Mme. Sissieretta Jones (Black Patti) and Mme. C. J. Walker would make in vaudeville?" Advertised as "the world's greatest Negro singer" and the "world's richest Negro woman," with Mme. Jones doing the singing and Mme. Walker appearing in an interesting and instructive talk, it strikes me that here would be a winning combination—one that would prove quite an attraction. LAFAYETTE RETURNS TO THE SERIOUS DRAMA "The Outcast," a play in four acts by Hubert Henry Davies, will be seen at the Lafayette theater next week. It was originally presented last year by Charles Frohman and Klaw and Erlanger at the Lyceum theater. After a long stretch of comedy and musiq, the company embracing Abbie Mitchell, Tom Brown, Susie Sutton, Babe Townsend, Charles Olden, Inez Clough and the rest of that admirable aggregation, will sally forth in a serious drama once more. The play selected is one which has stood the test not only of Broadway, but, the entire country it is safe to say that nothing in the dramatic line has been put on at the Lafayette that is as original in plot, and as striking in characterization. "The Outcast", Miriam is a cheerful, philosophic and quite uncompaining girl of the streets. Chance brings her to the door of Geoffrey's flat at a time when he is busy going to the devil with the aid of whiskey and drugs with which he has sought consolation, when he woman he loves deserted him for a more advantageous match. The girl recognizing, perhaps, a certain free masonry, established between them by his utter misery, lends him a friendly arm. She covets, and he needs some one to take care of. They join hands as pals. They settle into the relation of man and mistress. As time goes on she falls deeply and miserably in love with him, and her suf- Made Famous by the 15th Regiment.

STERN & CO. 102-4 W. 38th St. New York fering is due not so much to the fact that he will not marry her, though she is wistfully eager for that, but because she knows his tenderest feelings is for Valentine, the woman who has jilted him. It is Miriam's speechless woes, which in the end shows Valentine that not merely that Goeffrey cannot tear himself from this girl, but that she herself cannot leave her devoted, but quite uninteresting husband; so Valentine goes dreadfully back to him and Goeffrey and Miriam set forth together for South America. He offers her marriage in the casual manner of one offering something one does not value. But she will not have it that way. She has been reading the marriage service and it has odded something to her social philosophy. MAJOR TAYLOR WINS RACE Newark, N. J.—Major Taylor, the famous colored sprinter who held the cycling championship of America in 1900, was the best, among a field of a dozen veterans in a one-mile race for the old timers here, Sunday afternoon. He beat Arthur Ross, once famous as a pace follower; John M. Chapman, who was prominent in the early 90s, and Howard Freeman, who was a star twenty years ago, Taylor, who now makes his home in Worcester, Mass, was given a great hand by the crowd. Frank Kramer won a three cornered match race from Bob Spears and Arthur Spencer. Kramer, riding with lightning speed, rode around Spencer in the first heat and won. In the second heat he rode from in front and led the national title holder over the tape. Spears finished second to Kramer in both heats. Alfred Goullet beat Reggie McNamara in the five mile run. He then nipped Eddie Rupprecht at the tape in the half mile handicap. Jake Magin won first place in the miss and out invitation. Michael De Orio took the half mile handicap for amateurs and Ed Byron was first in the Australian pursuit race. There was many a colored rooter on hand to give Taylor a warm welcome and he was lustily applauded when he came into the enclosure. He had mortored down from Worcester along with Birdie Munger, his old-time adviser. Announcer Sullivan introduced the riders and they made a tour of the track. Frank Kramer, ex-champion, was elected to do a lap with Taylor and both the former champion were given a great send off. Kramer supplied a bit of comedy when he lined up with the old guard. Announcer Sullivan said that while none of the old timers were afraid of Kramer, Jack Prince, the referee of the race, had decided not to bet Kramer ride. Munger started Taylor on his way. It was Munger who started Taylor in his first race when he was the age of sixteen and predicted that Taylor would be the fastest rider in the world in a short time. Taylor stated that Munger started him in his first race and he also stated that he started him in his last as the performance of Taylor Sunday was his last. It was the first time that Major Taylor ever rode on a Sunday in Newark. For years Taylor refused to ride on Sunday and passed up many a liberal offer although he rode on Sundays in Europe and during the last year of his active career. In his day Taylor was a marvel. After winning the American national title he went to Europe and Australia, where he was a big winner and amassed a fortune. The Taylor-Kramer match races run at the old quarter-mile track in Vailsburgh are among the greatest in the history of the sport. No rider, before or since his day, ever developed a stretch sprint the equal of Taylor's. ROYALS AHEAD LINCOLNS The Royal Giants are one game ahead of the Lincoln Giants, in the series for the local championship as the result of Sunday's double header at Olympic Field.

LINCOLN8 LEAD IN JERSEY LEAGUE. Doxer, N. J., The Lincoln Giants, representing Dover in the Tri-County League, jumped into first place September 3, by defeating the strong Silk Sox of Paterson, representing Madison in the league, 16 to 5. The Silk Sox used three pitchers and thirteen players while the Giants used the willow without any consideration for the feelings of the opposing mound artists, and before the game ended had garnered twenty hits, which included a three-bagger, five two-baggers and fourteen singles. Williams had perfect control and held the visitor hitters until the fifth inning. Last week Morfostow and Madison met, the former winning 7 to 4, which leaves Madison in second place still and gives Dover the championship.

LANGFORD OUTPOINTS JEANNETTE AT TOLEDO TOLUZO, OMIO, Sept. 14—Cam: Langford of Boston outpost and outfought Joe Jeannette of Hoboken, N.J. in a twelve-round bout, here September 14. Langford weighted 198 pounds, Jeannette 196. It was the fifteenth time the two have fought each other. The two heavyweights put up a good fight PANAMA JOE GANS SCORES OVER WILLIAMS Panama Joe Gans to-day has a good claim to the "colored welterweight championship of the "world," having scored a victory over K. O. Lew Williams, the leading coach here for that honor, at the Vanderbilt A. C. Monday night. Gans, a clever, hard-punching battler, had Williams puzzled by his tactics Monday night, and while Gans received many a wallop in the early rounds, he handed an assortment of punches that sent his opponent's head back, and at other times drove swings to the stomach that visibly slowed up the sturdy Williams. These punches and the fact that Williams held Gans in some regard was demonstrated in the closing rounds when Williams refused to take any chances, holding on to Gans at every opportunity rather than mixing it. Gans amused the crowd with his fancy steps and wide grin, which did not serve in any measure to help appease the much ruffled temper of Williams. The bout came to a sudden end in the eighth round. Referee McAvoy disqualifying Williams for his holding tactics, saying that he was not trying. The four-round bout between Kid Gibbons and "Banana Sam," both colored, was a scream. It was a regular comic classic. Gibbons tried to hit Sam and succeeded once in a while, but the latter held on so hard that Gibbons not only found landing punches a difficult matter, but Referee McAvoy had a strenuous time of it prying Sam from his hold. There were several knockdowns and "Banana Sam" only stayed the limit by virtue of his ability to hold on to his opponent.

C.—The general impression that state schools are indifferent to the importance of Christian training of their students could not be applied to the A. & T. College of Greensboro, N. C. Sunday, September 9, when Professor Nelson, the superintendent, called students nine came forward and were admitted to the Sunday School. This Sunday School conducts a number of teachers' training classes. It is also the prime support of a city, Sunday School Institute which, for the past two winters, has held regular sessions teaching Sunday School workers of every grade. This institute is supposed to be the only city Sunday School Institute in the world that is conducted by Negroes. From the A. & T. College have gone influences that have established a Sunday School Union in Greensboro. This union holds semi-monthly meetings of all the Negro Sunday Schools of the city. These meetings are very helpful in teaching the Sunday School workers the opportunities and scope of the modern standardized Sunday School. In addition to the Sunday School influences of the college there is a live, active Y. M. C. A. that exercises a wholesome Christian influence upon the student body. The first meeting of the session was held the past Sunday morning under the leadership of student S. A. Haley. The A. & T. Temperance Society also held its first regular meeting last Sunday. President Dudley delivered the first address upon the "Building of a Life." In this address he urged the importance of day dreams, building air castles, of forming a high and lofty ideal and, then, like Daniel of old, in purpose in his heart, to live up to that ideal. In his preliminary remarks he explained that the object of the society was to teach the boys why prohibition and total abstinence are best for man physically and spiritually. Upon the call of Prof F. D. Bluford, the chairman, twenty-six students came forward and signed the pledge to abstain from the use of alcoholic drinks, of tobacco and of profane and obscene language. The A. & T. College is a school conducted for male youths only. Notwithstanding the fact that its greatest number of students are between the ages 21 and 30, and that the draft system has levied heavily upon its student body, the college authorities are very much gratified because the enrollment is three more than it was to date last year.

L (Continued from page one) half the battle of camp life. And they also know how to sing. Each company has its quartet and its favorite tenor soloist. Seriously, the battalion has done some wonderful, work since it came to camp. The first, and so far the most serious, task which faced the officers was the weeding out of the undesirable element among the thousand of workmen engaged in erecting the barracks. At least 300 men, arrested from time to time by the colored troops for offenses, serious and otherwise, have been eliminated. The erection of a prison pen near the camp did much to spread terror among the disorderly element. At times as many as fifty men were confined in the pen. The deported undesirables included drug peddlers, yegg men, stick-up men and plain thieves. Every day Major Morris holds court at his headquarters and the prisoners arraigned before him are give nan even chance. In the case of petty offenses he throws them into the guard house for a few hours. In the case of serious offenses he sends them to Riverhead, where they stand trial in the loca courts. The Fifteenth has performed meritorious service in this respect. They have gone after evil-doers with unflagging persistence and more than one prisoner has been taken to the pen only after a determined battle in which knives and blackjacks have been the chief weapons of offense. The regiment is known in the army as the "saluting Fifteenth," because of the precision with which they obey their officers whether it be when duty or when on sentry go. Their complements have a snap and precision that would do any Regular credit. This is not the case with one or two or with a picked company. One and all they are proficient. Major Morrin Praises His Mans. "You generally tell the soldier by the manner in which he salutes," said Major Morris. "I think I owe it to my hope to say I believe them to be the finest outfit in the country. This is said in all seriousness. I have found them good to the core, cheerful even when subjected to conditions far from pleasurable and willing workers. They do not put quite goading by their officers. Their cheerful 'pas, sub' means just that. When we came into camp we had a big job ahead of us and we were ting along in excellent fashion. Our men work harder than we were in camp and their skills will be "I served with the Twinklement for nineteen years, and for years as its Major. I speak in its riousness when I say these boys are better soldiers. Brooklyn may well proud of the colored boys who are doing their duty here. They are men and all. The men are particularly fortunate with respect to their cooks. There are twelve men constantly at work, but 605 hammers mount every hour at one time or another been chief in some one of the leading hotels. FOR SALE IN ROSELLE, N. J.
