Law-abiding Citizens Condemn Rowdyism at Political Meeting; Roosevelt Speaks for Fusion THE BIG NIGHT OF ALL NIGHTS THE CLEF CLUB OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 9, 1917 MANHATTAN CASINO General Admission 50 Cents BOX, Seating 8, $5.00 Reserved Seats, Incl. Adm. $1.00 The biggest political rally pa of Harlem during the municipal pa was held Monday evening at the on which occasion Col. Theodore troller Prendergast, Fire Commission men were speakers. About the While Colonel Roosevelt and the Fusion candidates who addressed the large audience won over the Fusion's cause many colored voters who went to the Palace Casino somewhat undecided as to what candidates to support at the polls next Tuesday, the acts of rowdyism committed by organized cliques stationed in various sections of the casino did more to win votes for Fusion and good government than any other agency. These rowdies, who espouse the cause of the Socialist candidate, made themselves obnoxious by hissing and frequently interrupting the speakers, and had not three-fourths of the audience been decidedly friendly to those talking in the interest of Fusion the disturbance-makers would have broken up the meeting, which they seemed bent on doing. Even Theodore Roosevelt, who has been the most fearless champion in America in demanding that the Negro be given a square deal, was insulted by these ruffians, who sought to follow out a program which had been arranged some hours before. They insulted everybody, even the prominent colored ministers who spoke. This element was made up of Negroes who are seeking to secure a real democracy in this country by advocating violence and who are opposed to the right of free speech and their anarchistic tendencies were fully emphasized during the evening, making a powerful impression on the minds of those who believe in law and order. Law-abiding Citizens Indignant. After the meeting a group of colored men. standing on 135th street, near Lenox avenue, were engaged in conversation during which they severely criticised the rowdy tactics of the Socialists. One was heard to remark: "If what that radical bunch did is a sample of what they would do if they came into power, excuse me. Personally I do not care so much about Mayor Mitchel, but I know the better element of people is with him, and I am going to be with the better element." Another was heard to say: "Of all the people who ought to be opposed to mob-methods it is the Negro. And yet colored men deliberately went to the Palace Casino for the express purpose of insulting a former President of the United States, the Mayor of the City and other prominent officials and to break up a meeting. These are the Negroes who are yelling the loudest for a square deal and equal opportunity." Throughout Harlem representatives of THE AGE, upon careful investigation Tuesday, found that the better element of Negroes, who are greatly in the majority, were outspoken in their condemnation of those who are seeking to elect their candidate by brow-beating and insulting others who differ from them politically. Even political wiseacres in the section who oppose Fusion do not hesitate to say ticipated in by the colored voters campaign now drawing to a close, Palace Casino, 14 E. 135th street, Roosevelt, Mayor Mitchel, Compson Adamson and other promise thousand persons were present that the disgraceful actions of the Socialists will act as a boomerang at the polls next Tuesday. Roosevelt Enthusiastically Welcome. Colonel Roosevelt was given a great ovation when he walked into the casino, and was accorded another demonstration when introduced by the Rev. W. P. Hayes. He started out by saying it was a real pleasure to be present; that the last time he addressed his remarks to colored people it was at Carnegie Hall when about nine in the entire audience were Negroes. Continuing, the Colonel said: "I believe and have always shown it, that the colored man's position in the South can be made just as secure in justice for him as in the North, but in the North especially can the colored man get justice because of the opportunities which he has to help form an administration which will be upright and unbiased. The colored race must stand for itself in association with the whites, and if one of your race goes wrong your entire race is held responsible. "Anything I say to you is representative of my deepest conviction. I am keenly conscious that it is difficult for you to get justice, but I want you to remember, just what I say tonight and that is your choice of approving the present administration or putting Tammany into power rests with yourselves. You will get nothing from Tammany unless you have the power to extort it. Remember that. Remember your duty to America as a whole." "I won't say that America has done everything that she should for the colored people, but I have never been in any other country where any of our people wanted to live; they always wanted to come here. Although I am not satisfied with what the United States has done, nevertheless here in the United States the colored race rises higher than anywhere else on earth." In his talk at Palace Casino Mayor Mitchel denounced all candidates and citizens who refused to support the Government by buying Liberty Bonds or aiding it in some way. He decried efforts to stimulate talk of a peace that he said would only be an armed truce, and he proved his right to be called "Fighting Mayor" when he asked the police to withdraw, declaring himself perfectly able to take care of himself in any verbal argument with the organized cliques. James C. Thomas, Jr., and E. A. Johnson were given rousing receptions and each made a speech asking for the undivided support of the colored voters. Both cautioned their hearers not to overlook the fact that there were more white voters than colored in their respective districts, and that they would only win with the cooperation of the kindly disposed white people. Others who spoke were Commissioner Robert Adamson, who is a candidate for President of the Board of Aldermen; Borough President Marks, Comptroller Prendergast and Judge William L. Ransom, who is a candidate for District Attorney. Monday evening's meeting was presided over by the Rev. A. Clayton Powell and the Rey. H. Arthur Booker. About fifty prominent Negroes were on the platform. WORK OF POLICE IS DISCUSSED BY WOODS The assertion is made by Police Commissioner Woods that in communities where there is a mixture of white and colored people conditions are vastly better than they were a few years ago. Little by little, according to the Police Commissioner, by working with the law-abiding citizens of both races who form the bulk of the population in these districts, conditions are greatly improved. In discussing the work of the Police Department so far as it relates to Negroes, Commissioner Woods made the following statement to THE Ace: "The handle certain elements of society, particularly where there is a mixture of white and colored people is a police problem of no small proportions. Yet conditions are vastly better than they were a few years ago. In the San Juan Hill District before the present police inspector took control both white and colored prostitutes solicited men and robbed them, and there were a number of idle men, commonly known as 'pimps,' who were supported by these prostitutes. "The money that the prostitutes stole was freely circulated in this district. Fights frequently occurred, and prostitutes were present administration. These prostitutes have been driven out and the conditions existing as a result of the activity of this lawless class of people have been eliminated. Evidence was obtained against saloons where lawless characters -congregated. The evidence caused the licenses of these saloons to be revoked. The saloons were closed and have remained closed. Police Change Tactica. "Policemen in the discharge of their duties, have, under intelligent supervision, changed their tactics, and while they are just as firm in the enforcement of the law, there has been an absence in the use of clubs and revolvers, an absence of anything that may be classed as brutality, but at the same time more real police activity which has obtained for better results. "The Police Department is constantly looking for assistance and suggestions from disinterested citizens, who have the good of the city in their minds and in their hearts. We have encouraged them to lay before a special aide at headquarters complaints or information which persons wish to bring to our attention and have caused it to be known that such complaints and information will be handled as confidential and will receive his personal attention. "The Police Department has had splendid co-operation from a number of organizations of colored men and women The Police Department at present is having two or three colored policemen assigned to plain clothes duty for the purpose of conducting an educational campaign, explaining to Negroes who have recently arrived from other cities, just what our laws and customs are. The results, seem to be good. The Police Department has received statements from colored citizens that there has never been a time in the history of the city when the colored people have had such a square deal from the Police Department and found their rights and their property so secure as at the present time." HARLEM WOMEN WORK FOR MAYOR:MITCHEI More interest is being manifested in the present municipal campaign by the women of the race than at any other time in the city's history. In Harlem quite a number have allied themselves with the Mitchel League of Colored People, of which Dr. R M Bolden is president, and are doing effective work in the interest of good government. At the league's headquarters, 105 W, 130th street, the women workers outnumber the men. Not only have they distributed tons of literature favorable to Fusion, but have demonstrated that they can take care of themselves in arguments and repatriate. Two of the most active forces working for Mayor Mitchel and Fusion are the Mitchel League of Colored People and the United Civic League THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1917. RACE PRAISED BY MR. McADOO Order Surprises High Cabinet Officer While in Little Rock, Ark., by Presenting Him With Check for $60,000 for Liberty Bonds—Overcome by Negro's Liberality. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) LITTLE ROCK, ARK—Secretary McAdoo of the United States Treasury, praised the Negroes of America for the creditable part they are taking in the present world war and their patriotic action in so liberally subscribing for Liberty Bonds. Secretary McAdoo's words of commendation were uttered here on Monday of last week when he was presented a check for $50,000, the amount of Liberty Bonds purchased by the Mosaic Templars. Secretary McAdoo appeared at the Palace Theatre to deliver an address on the purchasing of Liberty Bonds. He was agreeably surprised when officials of the Mosaic Templars, who were seated on the platform, handed him the check. President Wilson's son-in-law was deeply touched by this evidence or patriotism and said: JAMES L. CURTIS DIES IN AFRICA The friends and acquaintances of Hon James L. Curtis, United States Minister to Liberia, were shocked to learn of his death, which occurred at Free Town, Sierra Leone, West Coast Africa, on Wednesday, October 24. The first information that Minister Curtis was ill was received by the State Department at Washington Tuesday stating that he was in Free Town to undergo an operation. A second cablegram was received the following day announcing his death. No news has been received to date telling of the funeral arrangements. telling of the funeral arrangements. James L. Curtis was appointed Minister to Liberia by President Wilson in November, 1915. He was a lawyer who at one time was identified with Tammany, but later became an Independent Democrat and worked under the late Bishop Walters for the election of Woodrow Wilson. The deceased is survived by a widow and relatives residing in Washington, St. Louis and Chicago. ROCHESTER MAN TAKES $5,000 IN LIBERTY BONDS (Spouse to the New York Age) ROCHESTER, N. Y.-Solomon Young, vice-president of the Trustee Board of the A M. E. Zion Church here, subscribed the largest sum to the second Liberty Loan last week of any colored man in this end of the state.

PUBLIC BATH NOW ASSURED Board of Estimate Authorizes Comptroller to Issue City Bonds to Build Harlem Bath. ACTS ON MAYOR'S SUGGESTION Corporate Stock and Budget Committee at Once Takes Up Proposition and Makes Recommendations to Board of Estimate-Harlem Organizations Win Fight. The establishment of a public bath in the vicinity of 135th street and Lenox avenue, now seems assured. The Board of Estimate and Apportionment has authorized that one be built to cost $200,000. This action was taken by the Board of Estimate following the letter which Mayor Mitchel wrote to Comptroller Prendergast last week, urging that the Corporate Stock and Budget Committee give early consideration to the suggestions made by the Mayor. The Corporate Stock and Budget Committee immediately took up the matter and made the proper recommendations to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, which, in turn, authorized the Comptroller to issue serial bonds of the city of New York for a quarter of the total authorization. Comptroller Prendergast's reply to Mayor Mitchel's letter of October 22d, relative to the bath, follows: October 24, 1917. Hon. John Purry Mitchel, Mayor, City of New York. My dear Mr. Mayor: You wrote to me on October 22, 1917, stating that you were strongly in favor of the authorization of funds to build an interior public bath in Harlem in the vicinity of Leavenworth and Burlington. You will be pleased to know that the Corporate Stock Budget Committee, which has been investigating the necessity for this bath, has prepared a report recommending $200,000 for the erection of the bath. The Bureau of Contract Supervision, on behalf of the Corporate Stock-Budget Committee, has reported that an interior public bath is necessary an order to provide public bathing facilities in one of the most congested parts of the city. The bath is to be built in the vicinity of 135th Street and Lenox Avenue. It is in the approximate center of a population of about 60,000 colored people. The housing facilities in this neighborhood are not as they should be. Because they are old they do not contain all the conveniences of the more recently built houses. The Bureau reports that so many of the houses are without bathing facilities, that it is very desirable that a public bath be established in the neighborhood. There are no private swimming pools or bathing establishments in the neighborhood. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has taken a great deal of interest in a bath house for this section. Information furnished by this league shows that 35 per cent of the population of colored people, stated at 70,000, are Negroes. Seventy-one per cent of the population occupy old law houses. We think it is only fair to the colored people, who are congregated in this section, that they should have the same provision for bathing as is provided by the city in sections where the population is almost entirely white. Among the associations that have requested the erection of a bath house are: The United Civic League; National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes; Young Women's Christian Association; Charity Organization Society, Harlem District; Union Settlement; 130th St. Association; Negro Improvement League and Harlem Council of Women. I am transmitting herewith a copy of the report of the Corporate Stock Budget Committee, which will be on the calendar for action at the meeting of November 2, 1917. Very truly yours. The communication of the Corporate Stock Budget Committee to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment points out that the President of the Borough of Manhattan requested an appropriation for a public bath in Harlem on June 29, 1917, and the matter has been going through the usual regular channels required by all similar propositions. NEGRO ROOKIES AT CAMP UPTON More Than 1500 Drafted Men from New York State Arrived at Yaphank Tuesday. ASSIGNED TO CHOICE SECTION To Be Located in the Heart of the Camp On Which are Excellent Buildings—All the Captains and Lieutenants of New Regiment are to be Colored Men. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.) CAMP UPTON, YAPHANK, N. Y. —Soldier life was entered into by the drafted colored men of Greater New York under conditions none too favorable Tuesday. When they reached camp the rain was coming down in torrents; a cold wind swept across the grounds and the day was dark and cheerless. Instead of taking refuge from the inclement weather in steam-heated flats these rookies were shown to their new quarters, something entirely new to them. But even if Old Sol was missing and unable to bade them a friendly welcome the young men entered into the spirit of their new life with an enthusiasm which was commented on by their brother white rookies who have been on the scene for several weeks. Over 1,500 Negroes arrived in camp Tuesday from New York State, nearly 1,000 coming from Manhattan and 400 from Brooklyn. It required two trains to bring the men from the two boroughs to camp. Those from Manhattan left from the Pennsylvania Station, and were met at the Flatbush avenue station of the Long Island Railroad by the Brooklyn contingent. At both stations, mothers, sisters and nephews participated in a historical demonstration, many tears being shed over the departure of loved ones. The waiting room of the Long Island division, Pennsylvania station, presented an unusual scene for more than an hour Tuesday morning, and for a time it seemed as if bedlam had broken loose. The drafted men residing in Harlem reached the Pennsylvania Station in buses, and attracted attention all along the way. Many of them were followed in automobiles by their sweethearts, and a brass band preceded them, which made the welkin ring. Some of the banners carried read: "We know but One Nation: We Have but One Flag." "A Regiment Without a Hyphen," and "First in Revolition, First at Block Hill, First in Mexico at Parral and First With Pershing in France." The colored drafted men who arrived here Tuesday will be mustered into the 367th Regiment of Infantry of the 184th Infantry Brigade, which will be a part of the 92d Division. The commander of the regiment will be Col. James A. Moss. The regimental adjutant, all the captains and lieutenants of the regiment will be Negroes who recently received their commissions at Camp Fort Des Moines. The colored drafted men have been assigned to the old J section of the camp which is in the heart of the division and regarded by many as the most desirable spot here. One of the buildings assigned to them was formerly an officers' barracks. CAMPAIGN FOR WOMEN NEARING YES, NO NEARING ITS CLOSE Mass meetings, street meetings by the hundreds, moving picture exhibits showing women's war work and illustrating the suffrage arguments, parades, Watchers' Schools, conferences, open air rallies, hearings before clubs, the distribution of thousands of suffrage leaflets by Literature Squads operating near the剧院, movie houses, synagogues, churches and clubs will wind up the suffrage campaign in the city of New York. Suffrage sermons will be preached in many churches; and next Monday every man and woman capable of presenting suffrage questions, will get out on the street corners and present the gospel of equal rights to all comers. Colored suffragists are as busy as any. They are canvassing the voters and preparing to watch at the polls Election Day On Thursday evening, Nov. 1, a big meeting will be held at the suffrage headquarters, 2285 7th avenue, at which Mrs. Josephine Holmes and Miss Helen Holman will make addresses Colored women who will act as helpers to the watchers at the polls are asked to send in their names or to call at the headquarters to register for service. Colored women are receiving congratulations on the way they turn out to march in the suffrage parade. John W Cooper who went the entire distance on crutches, holds the record for devotion to duty in the Suffrage Party. Street meetings will be held during the week with Miss Helen Holman as speaker. Friday evening is scheduled for the corner of 133rd street and Lenox avenue. Can ass by The Age Sho th Substantial Negro Will Support Fusion Ticket. Belle Re-election of Mayor and Fusion Best for All Concerned—Not Candid Awake by Promise of Other Mayors and Candidates—Silent Vote To Be Big Factor. Nother the absurd promise of the socialist candidate for Mayor to furnish free food and free clothing for school children, nor the promise of Tammany henchmen to give New York a wide open city in the event of the election of their candidate, has won over the substantial colored citizens of the community, most of whom are actively working in the interest of Mayor Mitchell and Fusion. Fusion leaders have all along asserted that this year's Mayoralty election is not to be won by those who make the most noise, but by the silent, independent vote. A canvass by The Ace shows that lusion is the choice of influential Negroes in Greater New York. Here are a few expressions gathered by The Ace: Theor.Rev. J. W. BROWN—"Mayor Mitchell is entitled to another term. I urge it re-election in the interest of good government." Thu.Rev. JOHN WESLEY JOHNSON. "Mayor Mitchel deserves reelectors on his record. It is my intention to support him and his associates on th' Fusion ticket." FR. NK H. GILBERT "I am hoping to see Mayor Mitchel—re-elected, believin that the community at large will be beaver off when with Fusion running theairs of our great city than any other political party." Dr. BENJAMIN T. WITHERS Wid. in the endorsement and vow of Mayor Mitchel it would, not have been possible for Harlem to secure the $200, 000 in it. It is the greatest thing that any mayor has ever done for Harlem and omises much for the future." Wr. FORD H. SMITH—"Mr. Mitchel and his associates on the Fusion tickets are deserving of the support of all wlth thinking citizens. No one can question John Purry Mitchel's creditily serve as the head of the 100' greatest city in America." Dr. J. EMANUEL—"Mayor Mitchel explained in a satisfactory manner some thing—I want made clear in talking with a de gation of Negroes a short time ago. I have been in favor of his reelection ever since." Tl. Rev. A. CLAYTON POWELL —"Tl. church cannot consistently pray Thy Gingdom Come" and then vote on Novi bern 6, to turn the city government over to a political party which has the mutation of commercializing gambling prostitution and every form of vice. This issue alone should elect John Purry, Mitchel and all of his associates in the Fusion ticket." Dr. CHARLES H. ROBERTS—I am mayor Mitchel. Considering the cities of New York City collectively or in groups, he has given them the best administration they have ever had. He is favored no group, nor has disoriented against any. He refuses to recognize segregation in any form. He is struck clean and played fast. What more can be required of a Mayor? GLORGE YOUNG—"I am pleased to know that you are in favor of the reelection of John Purry Mitchel as Mayor of New York. With this and the dorsurement of Gov. Whitman and Theore Roosevelt we should ask no other-proof as to his efficiency. The defeat of Mr. Mitchel would be a reflection on the good citizens of New York. Keep Mayor Mitchel on the job! J. DOUGLASS WETMORE—"In this election all party lines have been obliterated for there is more at stake than mere political preferment. The type of men supporting Mayor Mitchel represent our best citizenry. The position taken by our leading men has always been the best for the Negro to take. This one reason alone should be sufficient to win the colored voters to the cause of Fusion." Dr. YORK RUSSELL "These are momentous times for Americans, and it behooves them to pause and think before listing their ballot be it in a National or local election. One should not be carried away in the present Mayor's campaign merely by glittering promises or incendiary talk. It behooves one to calmly view the political situation in a calm, dispassionate manner. This I have done and have conclude to support Mayor Mitchel and Fusion." Re. GEORGE II SIMS "No believer in good government can consistently oppose the re-election of Mayor Mitchel.

His explanation of his attitude on 'The Birth of a Nation' issue was one of the things that has made me kindly disposed toward him." Dr. E.

The heads of the various departments appointed by him have administered the affairs of our city government with even-handed justice to all concerned. We have an improved educational system, good police and fire protection, good recreational community centers and many other good features of our city government which make us proud of our Mayor, proud to be called citizens of New York and eager to retain Mr. Mitchel as the city's chief executive." JOHN R. NAIL. "It is my intention to vote for the re-election of Mayor Mitchel because I have every reason to feel, from the promises he made at the personal interview and heart to heart talk he had with our committee of colored citizens at City Hall on October 13, that if he is returned to office, he will be more considerate of some of his worthy colored constituents, of whom there are so many in the city.

Davies to the Municipal Court, Judge Davies is said to have fined more white keepers of public places of accommodation for violating the Levy law than any other judge. In speaking of the candidacy of Judge Davies, Counsel J Douglas Wetmore, one of the city's leading colored lawyers, writes "I should appreciate it very much if you would the attention of your readers to the fact that Judge John R. Davies, of the Municipal Court, is running for re-election in the district in which are included the large colored section of Harlem, and if it is not inconsistent with the policy of your paper that you commend Judge Davies to them. Personally I have only had three or four trials before Judge Davies, and it so happened that I was on the losing side of cases, but I have been in his court waiting for trials and have had an op- JUDGE JOHN R. DAVIES portunity in watching him try several cases, and I can, without care of successful contradiction, state that he is one of the fairest judges ever seen preside at a trial. A young white men are fair and brave. The judge Davies is not only for the contemptuous and has given several decisions in cases where colored inmates have sued white men for damages on account of being refused accommodations in public places, and marvelably where there was proof to sustain the plaintiff. Judge Davies has decided in favor of the plaintiff. It is largely through him that the Civil Rights bill of New York State has been upheld, and we all know that such cannot be said of a great many judges in this city. "I believe that it is the duty of every colored man in his district, be he a Democrat, Republican or Socialist, to lay aside his party feeling and vote for Judge Davies, because he is one of the few who insist on giving the colored man equal treatment in public places. It will be a credit to the race if Judge Davies runs ahead of his ticket in what some of our friends are pleased to call 'Black Harlem' "Enemies of the Negro race have declared that the race lacked two characteristics—gratitude and resentment—and this statement by voting solidly for the election of Judge Daies, and I trust and believe they will do it, as I know that you colored men not only resent insults, but are very grateful when fairly treated." JUDGE BOYLE, CANDIDATE FOR MUNICIPAL BENCH Judge John Boyle, Jr., nominated by the Republican, Fusion and City Democracy parties for re-election to the Municipal Court bench in the First District, was appointed to fill a vacancy in August last and has been holding court continuously since that time.

The strength of the Fusion ticket lies largely in the past performance of its candidates. They have all been tried in positions of public service and proved their willingness and capacity to give the people of the city good government. There is no logical argument presented for filling their places with new men, who, however good their intentions might be, would have to learn the duties of their positions before they could adequately fill them. John Purrey Mitchel has made good as Mayor. He has been the Mayor of all the people, and has the support of the leading citizens of the community. William A. Prendergast has been Comptroller for so many years that he has the finances of the city running like clockwork. Robert Adamson is no novice in the practice of the city government, having gained his experience as newspaperman, as secretary to Mayor Gaynor and as Fire Commissioner. He will make a good President of the Board of Aldermen and an equally good Mayor should the emergency arise. Marcus M. Marks deserves a second term as Borough President of Manhattan, and no mistake will be made in electing Judge William L. Ransom District Attorney in New York County. Edward M. Morgan's record as Postmaster of New York is too fresh in the public mind to admit any doubt as to the service he would give as County Clerk. The Sheriff's Office will be conducted in a most satisfactory manner if John J. Lyons is chosen Sheriff. Edward A. Johnson and James C. Thomas, Jr., will furnish new blood on the ticket and have a chance to make records for themselves in the Assembly and the Board of Aldermen They are deserving the vote of both races in their respective districts. All of these men are entitled to the support of all citizens who believe in good government and true Americanism. PREJUDICE AND PATRIOT-ISM. In this period of the country's greatest need of the united support and service of all classes of its cosmopolitan citizenship, it remains for the South alone to place its prejudice above patriotism. No sentiment of loyalty to the flag or respect for the uniform of its defenders is allowed for a moment to interfere with the exhibition of the meanest and most depraved form of race prejudice, when the flag or the uniform is borne by men of a darker race. The dangerous results of this exhibition and its provocative effects were glaringly manifested in the outbreak among the regular troops at Houston, Texas, a short time ago. Undeterred by this disastrous occurrence, the inhabitants of Spartanburg, South Carolina, sought to provoke similar reprisals on the part of the Fifteenth New York Regiment sent to Camp Wadsworth. That their efforts were not successful was not due to any lack of provocation on their part. The fact that the New Yorkers refrained from resenting by physical force the insults and outrages heaped upon their speaks volumes for the degree of discipline and moral courage attained in their brief career as soldiers. The most insolent and audacious feature of this Southern defiance of the flag and the uniform was the attitude assumed by the recruits from that section when sent to Northern camps. Not content with the indulgence of their venomous prejudice in their own section, they have sought to impose it upon the North as well. The scandalous conduct of an Alabama regiment doing police duty at Camp Wright, to say nothing of the outrageous treatment of colored civilians on trains or in towns, would seem to justify the holding of a court martial at once. The South should be given to understand in unmistakable terms that patriotism and prejudice are incompatible terms. Those soldiers from the South who think this is a fitting time to carry on a propaganda of race and color prejudice are no better than traitors to the cause of the country. Their attitude deserves the sternest rebuke of the military authorities, even if it is necessary to courtmartial a few of them. It is bad enough to allow the civil population and authorities of the South to insult the flag and the uniform in the persons of Negroes who bear and wear them. But it is subversive of all ideas of military discipline to allow such conduct on the part of those enlisted under the same flag and wearing the same uniform. There is a large section of the white South whose ideas need reconstruction. A beginning at least can be made upon those enlisted in the military service and amenable to its discipline. We are glad that Secretary Baker of the War Department has set his face sternly against any attempt to deal unjustly with the Negro recruits to the new Army. With the active co-operation and sagacious advice of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, we may confidently expect fair treatment for all Negroes in the army. The race may therefore feel justified in maintaining the patriotic attitude it has assumed since the war broke out ROWDYISM IN HARLEM Rowdyism has become an issue in Harlem, and ministers of the gospel and reputable editors should take the initiative in the movement to stamp out lawlessness in a community where more Negroes live in a given area than any other place in the world. Fortunately, the well-thinking, respectable element is greatly in the majority, and if gone about properly it should be only a matter of a short time before the spirit of anarchy is crushed in Harlem. During the present municipal campaign speakers have had a difficult time expressing their views in public unless they were similar to those entertained by self-appointed censors, who have not hesitated to break up political gatherings if the speeches were not to their liking. These same men, while earning so much per night as soap box orators, rant about the Negro being denied a square deal in this country and about the reign of lawlessness in the South. Quite an inconsistent attitude. At the Palace Casino Monday evening when Comptroller Prendergast was being hissed and hooted by this lawless element, he made this statement: "To you fellow Americans who love fair play and demand a square deal, I ask you to be kind enough to be quiet and let me have my say; you have had yours." There was a tinge of VIEWS and REVIEWS A general of the army in high command, in private correspondence regarding the qualities of colored men as fighters and the seeming policy of the War Department toward them, expressed the following views: The idea of extensive utilization of the Colored Troops as "Line of Communication Troops," in other words, non-combatant troops, seems to prevail in Washington. Just why this is so I do not know, but whether or not it has arisen from doubt of their fighting qualities, the result will be to side-track and fail to avail ourselves of what I believe to be the best "Close-in" fighters in the world. Viewed as a fighting man the Negro is by heredity a "Knife man." He has his defects, among them his tendency to stampede when subjected to a surprise attack, a thing which must therefore be carefully guarded against. This tendency is well illustrated by the familiar case of the sudden interruption of a "crap" game, or the raiding by the police of some resort of shady reputation. The colored man will go out of the window, no matter how far from the ground, taking glass, and sash with him in his unreasoning flight—and no orders will stop him, nor does the fact that he is innocent of wrong doing lessen the precipitance of his flight. The character of the fighting on the "western front" in Europe is such as to give full scope for the special qualities of the close-in fighter. I refer to the Infantry attacks following Artillery preparation. The present war presents no more brilliant example of this than that afforded by the great attack made by colored troops of the French army, who really pierced the German line. I believe it is the only instance in which the line has really been broken, and I regret that I don't recall the details of time, troops, etc. Though this splendid achievement came to naught—except the death of the brave men who were concerned in it, it certainly shows what could be accomplished by an Army Corps of these terrific hand-to-hand fighters. Properly disciplined, instructed and directed, fifty or sixty thousand of them would follow up an Artillery preparation and afford the Germans something to think about for many a day. These views coming from an army officer whose experience stretches over a period of, perhaps, thirty years or more are extremely interesting, and much in them is decidedly new. However we do not think that he substantiates his statement that the Negro has a natural tendency to stampede. His illustration of the raided "crap" game is not a close analogy. Playing "crap" is a crime; while fighting in open warfare is not. Most human beings of average intelligence caught in the commission of a crime have a natural tendency to flee. The fact that in a raided "crap" game, Negroes who may be innocent are as precipitate in their flight as those who are guilty may not signify any deeper psychology than that growing out of long experience with Southern policemen and Southern courts. The most stupid Negro caught in such a trap is not so stupid as to suppose that mere innocence will save him. The question we should like to have this officer answer is whether his observations and study lead him to believe that in open and above-board actions with a chance to fight back, the Negro shows any natural tendency to stampede. There are conditions in war under which any troops might stampede, but we should like to hear him state whether Negro troops in action have ever evinced this tendency more than any other kind of troops. GENERAL BARRY'S ORDER. Major General Thomas H. B. out at Rockford, Ill. Last week three hundred officers of the captain talk. He spoke of the Negro camp, and said to his officers that be given the same consideration.

Still, there is another side to us written by a well informed col one of the Southern camps.

Last week General Barry sent officers of the camp, and gave the spoke of the Negro troops that we had to his officers that he expected even one consideration shown a white man splendid thing for General Barry that he have been done or ought to be done who is in command of a camp. It should have been done or ought to be at Washington. If the War Deed that it expected black soldiers of the same consideration as white treatment would be tolerated by friction in the camps would disfigure there has been was trouble stirring that the powers that be would not reactions or at least would not order on what it was a splendid thing for which he did give, and yet we can regret that such an order was not on the spirit of democracy that it at this time, to issue an order to treatency colored men who wear the army and who stand ready, if need entry. On another side to the story. We have well informed colored man who has worn camps. In this letter he says: developments that have come about soldiers and between Negro soldiers the relation of the Negro soldier inance of Negroes in camp. All at Major General Thomas H. Barry is in command of Camp Grant out at Rockford, Ill. Last week General Barry called before him three hundred officers of the camp, and gave them some straight, plain talk. He spoke of the Negro troops that were coming to the camp, and said to his officers that he expected every black man to be given the same consideration shown a white man. That was a splendid thing for General Barry to do. It is something that should have been done or ought to be done by every general in the army who is in command of a camp. More especially is it something that should have been done or ought to be done by the War Department at Washington. If the War Department made it plainly understood that it expected black soldiers of the United States army to be given the same consideration as white soldiers, and that no other kind of treatment would be tolerated by the Government, all serious race friction in the camps would disappear instantly. Whatever trouble there has been was trouble stirred up by an element which felt that the powers that be would not look with entire disfavor on their actions or at least would not order any drastic punishment for them. We repeat that it was a splendid thing for General Barry to issue the order which he did give, and yet we cannot do otherwise than express the regret that such an order was necessary. It is a sad commentary on the spirit of democracy that it should be necessary, especially at this time, to issue an order to treat with common courtesy and decency colored men who wear the uniform of the United States army and who stand ready, if need be, to give their lives for the country. Still, there is another side to the story. We have a letter before us written by a well informed colored man who has recently been in one of the Southern camps. In this letter he says: "It would do you good to see the developments that have come about between the officers and Negro soldiers and between Negro soldiers and white soldiers; and then in the relation of the Negro soldier to the community since the appearance of Negroes in camp. All at once it seems the irony in this remark, but it was entirely lost on those bent on creating disorder. What cared they for fair play? THE AGE agrees with Comptroller Prendergast that because men differ politically there is no need of resorting to personal vilification or riotous outbursts. But during this campaign the colored Vardamans and Tillmans have endeavored to array one Negro against the other just because they disagree on the Mayoralty question. These hired soap-box orators are even making themselves ridiculous by urging voters to boycott men who are conscientiously following out their political convictions. While engaged in helping make Barry is in command of Camp Grant at General Barry called before him camp, and gave them some straight two troops that were coming to the war he expected every black man to shown a white man.

It was trouble stirred up by an elec that he would not look with entire it would not order any drastic pun- endid thing for General Barry to be, and yet we cannot do otherwise an order was necessary. It is a democracy that it should be necessa an order to treat with common men who wear the uniform of the and ready, if need be, to give their the story. We have a letter beforeored man who has recently been in this letter he says: "It would do you have come about between the officen Negro soldiers and white solle Negro soldier to the community in camp. All at once it seems the the world safe for democracy, the law-abiding element of the community can do good work by making Harlem safe from mobocracy. Members of organized clauses who did their best to break up Monday evening's meeting at the Palace Casino by insulting prominent white speakers and colored clergymen may think they have done effective work for their cause. We hardly think so. Such disgraceful demonstrations never make a favorable impression on well-thinking people, white or colored. THE AGE regards a rowdy as a menace to the community, be he white or black—whether he lives in the North or in the South. presence of the Negro is as much a matter of fact as is the presence of the white soldier." There is no good reason why the presence of colored soldiers should not be taken merely as a matter of fact in every part of the country as much so as the presence of white soldiers. And this would be entirely the case if the element of rough-necks and bullies and "professional" Southerners in the army felt that all the commanders and the War Department stood firm on the ground with General Barry.

It has been proposed to send over a replica of the George Grey Barnard statue of Lincoln that now stands in the city of Cincinnati. This proposal immediately brought forth a storm of protest. Many people, artists in particular, declared that the Barnard statue was a ridiculous caricature of the great president. That it represented him as a "scrawny-necked, hollow-chested, stoop-shouldered, hookworm victim." Others went so far as to say it made him look like a huge ape. These critics of the Barnard statue avow that it would be next to a calamity to present such an effigy as the first monument of Lincoln to be erected in London. They advocate, instead, the sending of a replica of the St. Gauden's statue of Lincoln, which stands in Chicago. This controversy has become so bitter that were it not for the fact that it is overshadowed by the war the whole country would be divided into two camps over the question. Down to date, it appears that the Barnard statue will be the one to stand in Parliament Square, near Westminster Abbey. I make no pretensions to any critical knowledge of plastic art; but I have seen both statues and, somehow, I do not feel that either of them is absolutely true of the real Lincoln. The Barnard statue represents Lincoln as a tall, gaunt man in ill-fitting clothes standing on a pair of enormous feet with his large, knotted hands clasped across his stomach. The statue does lack dignity, yet it is tremendously impressive. On the other hand, the St. Gauden's statue represents as the stereotyped statesman; indeed, as an up-to-date, well dressed congressman with a rather high opinion of himself. It represents Lincoln standing with his chest thrown out, one side of his coat flung back with the thumb of one of his hands resting in the armhole of his vest. Of course, I have no right to criticise the work of such a great artist as St. Gaudens; and that is not what I had any intention of doing. The thought that struck me in this controversy was the mystery of greatness. It seems that the few supreme beings that the human race has produced are seen only through a sort of veil. They take on the character of demi-gods. Homer is a myth. Shakespeare, who lived during the greatest historic age of England, is a mystery. There are those ready to prove that he never really existed. And here is Lincoln, who lived among us only a half century ago, already the object of a controversy as to what manner of man he was.

His speech was caused by a letter which he had received from an old subscriber to the concerts, asking whether it would not be well to omit German music from all programs until the end of the war. Regarding the conduct of the war, Mr. Damrosch spoke very plainly. He said it was our duty to strike hard and fast until the victory we hope for is achieved. He said that on this point there can be no temporizing; that our young men are going over by the hundreds of thousands to prove to our enemies what American determination stands for. Then Mr. Damrosch went on to say in reply to the subscriber's letter: To me it would seem unutterably wrong and ethically false to carry our righteous indignation against the German government to the point of excluding the great German masters to whom as a people we owe so much. How can we look upon Bach or Beethoven or Brahms as Prussians when they are great creative artists who have, through their genius, contributed to the development of the world and who no longer belong only to the country in which they happened to have been born, but are a part and parcel of the emotional and artistic life of the entire civilized world? I think Mr. Damrosch is right Of course, while the war lasts no one could think of American audiences joining in singing or even listening to the "Wacht am Rhein," but the music of Bach and Beethoven and Brahms does not belong to Germany, it belongs to the world. All great artistic creations transcend national boundaries. In fact, they would not be great if they did not. Artistic creations that remain limited by national boundaries are by their own nature of a lesser order. But the poets and painters and musicians of the first magnitude belong to the human race, not to any particular nation. PENN COMMENDES ADAMSON. To the Editor of THE NEW York Age. Hon Robert Adamson, who has been nominated for President of Board of Aldermen of New York on the Fusion and Republican tuxes, should have the support of every member of the Negro race in New York who appreciated valuable service done for the race twenty years ago in Atlanta, Ga., as city editor of the Alanta Constitution. He did more than any other man in that city to make possible the Negro building at the Atlanta Exposition and held me as Commissioner to make the exhibit worthy of a gold medal of first award. He helped me to secure Booker T. Washington as orator which began Mr. Washington's large career and that of Tuskegee true to his interest in our race. I have learned he appointed the only Negro fireman ever upon the New York Fire Department. Our people make no mistake in standing by and supporting good men as I believe Mr Adamson to be. I. GARLAND PENN. Columbia, S. C. TWO CANDIDATE8. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: The candidacy of Messrs. Edward A. Johnson, candidate for Assemblyman in the Nineteenth Assembly, and James C Thomas, Jr. candidate for Alderman in the Twenty-sixth Aldermanic Districts, respectively, clearly proves in a marked degree the importance of the colored citizens' intelligence along the avenues over the presentation of a statue of Government. It has been proposed to merge Grey Barnard statue of Lincoln Cincinnati. This proposal immediately protest.

As to their intelligence and capability, the primary election of Messrs. Johnson and Thomas indicates a high racial and ethical standard. And, doubtless the voters of these respective districts will recognize the wisdom and timeliness of these candidates and adequately reward these gentlemen on Election Day, November 6. Both candidates can be trusted to uphold the dignity and welfare of the dignity and welfare of the cosmopolitan citizenship of the state and municipality, especially careful and watchful in behalf of their own immediate constituency Obviously all good citizens, regardless of race, will unsparingly promote the advocacy of Messrs Mitchell, Johnson and Thomas' election. They have offered every possible inducement to arouse the intelligent interest of the voters. The co-operation of all citizens has been marshaled in their service By exhortation, appeal, example, sacrifice and extraordinary labors, the colored citizens and organizations have sought to insure the approval and support of all races. Our citizens should also vote for the Suffrage amendment. WM PRESTON MOORE. Jamaica, N Y CAMP NO PLACE FOR RACE RIOTS (Brooklyn Eagle.) A popular impression that there is something missing in the way of discipline at Camp Mills is bound to be created by the news of repeated physical encounters between Alabama white of the Fifteenth Negro Infantry, New York National Guard; by the reports of persistent saluting of the colored men, and by the loud-mouthed threats to "run the Negroes out of camp"; followed by a bugled call to arms of the Fifteenth It may be true that most of the trouble has been not inside but outside of any limits, and that the worst error was merely making military police out of these hot-headed Alabama men. Such military police work outside They so about armed with rifles, and they meet the Negroes in many places. It may be true that the impending departure of the Fifteenth has led officers to minimize the importance of disturbances almost meriting the race-riot characterization. But one thing is clear. Neither a camp nor the environs of a camp should be the scene of race conflict. White men and black men are on absolutely equal footing as United States soldiers. They are entitled to equal protection against both insult and assault. A little more attention to this basic principle would have been advisable at Camp Milts. The War Department may well find out just why the basic principle was not considered. AGAIN THEY COME TO THEIR COUNTRY'S CALL. (Chicago, Herald). The souls of the black folk of America are lighted with exultation today. Today the descendants of the freedmen of 63 rally to the camps of the nation. By thousands they have been called, and by thousands they come, to share again what they have shared so often in the past, their feeling for the country that set their fathers free. In July, 1862, by special act of Congress, Negroes were permitted to enlist in the army of the North. They have never failed the nation since. There is a springing eagerness in the make-up of the Negro that responds to the thrill of fighting. There is also a habit of endurance that makes the discipline of war a second nature. Given officers, white or black, who understand them, they will go through the gates of hell singing Negro troops on the march have a swing that to the onlooker is irresistible, and in a light, whether they are dogged or cheerful, they are always impatient to get to the front. Whole troops are better at waiting, but the fury of the onset of a black regiment is unsurpassable. When they go over the top, God help the Germans! St. Gaudens has immortalized in bronze the Negro regiment which charged at Fort Pillow. That charge was wild, it was hopeless, it was typically heroic. Those men were just climbing from the abyss into which they had been flung by white men centuries before. These 1,400 who go today to Camp Grant, and the thousands who assemble elsewhere, have the same potential heroism. But they have more. They are free citizens of a free republic. Their eyes have been opened by two generations of education to the glory of responsibility. They came to the call not to the country, but of their country. If the war last America will owe to her Negroes not what she owed in '63 preparation, but a debt for service, which she will not forget nor seek to evade. This summons against organized murders, against ruin on the grand scale, is the chance of the black man, as of the white, to prove himself. MARYLANDERS WHO BOUGHT LIBERTY BONDS BALMORE.—The colored people of Baltimore and the State made a fine showing in subscribing for Liberty Bonds, and it is estimated that their subscriptions totaled several hundred thousand dollars. The colored auxiliary of the Maryland Council of National Defense had a rousing rally for the loan on Wednesday of last week. More than $15,000 was subscribed. Thomas R. Smith, the hotel proprietor, took $2,500 worth of the bonds and Dr. Ernest Lyon, chairman of the auxiliary, laid down his check for $1,000. Alfred H. Pittts also took a $1,000 bond. Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst were among the many subscribers. He—"I would give lots to make you happy" She — "Vacant or improved?" — Baltimore, American. Ample Folds.

The Women's Liberty Loan committee of Maryland announced that it had discovered a woman in Howard county, about twenty-five miles from this city, who had not heard of the Liberty Loan, and did not know that the United States and Germany were at war. The committee stated that the woman was intellectual and one of the most intelligent children. She said her husband went to work at 4 a.m. daily and was too tired to talk when he came in from the field at 6 p.m. She stated that she had not been out of her home, except to go to church, in five years. Funeral services over the remains of the late and lamented "John Barleycorn" were held on Saturday night last at 1080 Fourteenth street, better known as "Nelligan's." It was a bad affair after the services were concluded, they invited to partake of "The Great Supper."

Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, Liberian consul general to the United States, was a visitor here Tuesday. It is said that he had business with the State Department regarding a matter of importance to the Republic of Liberia. Dr Lyon expressed regret at the news of the death of Minister Curtis. Just before leaving the United States for Monrovia, Minister Curtis visited Dr. Lyon and had a long talk with his regarding Liberian conditions.

PAREWELL TO SELECTED MEN IN WASHINGTON (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.) WASHINGTON, D. C—Seventy thousand persons jammed the Union Station and the approaches thereto Monday to bid farewell and Godspeed to the 410 colored men drafted from the District of Columbia for the National Army. The men entrained for Camp Meade at 9:30 o'clock and before that time there was a demonstration unprecedented in the District. There was scarcely standing room in the station and the approaches were swarming with cheering thousands. The men arrived under escorts of bands and a citizens' committee, of which Frank Wells was chairman. As the men marched into the station, there was an outburst of cheers. As order was restored there began a program of patriotic addresses and music. The Rev W. H. Jernagin offered prayer, and there was addresses by the Rev W. C. Brown, Judge Robert H. Herrell and D. J. Donovan, secretary to the Board of Commissioners, chorus To the Colored Voter You who pay rent pay taxes. You who pay taxes support the city. You, therefore, whoever you are, are vitally interested in the way your city's finances-your taxes are spent. Every man, black or white, rich or poor, is secure in the knowledge that the taxes-the finances of this great metropolis have been held to a strict accountability by the greatest Comptroller New York City has ever had. Born and reared in New York, Comptroller Pendergast has known no color line. He has practised in the concrete the square deal which others have so loudly preached. Other Comptrollers for years have failed to promote on one pretext or another, deserving and capable colored members of their staff. This Mr. Prendergast has done without hesitation, establishing a record in seeing that every citizen, black or white, received equal treatment in all of his departments. He has known no distinction of race, color or creed. If you are interested in keeping your city clean and progressive, you want to keep your taxes out of the pockets of back stair boodlers and public plunderers. You owe it to yourself, your children who go to school and the continued development of your city to Vote For William Prendergast.

Elliott, Comstock and Gest brought the piece to America at a cost of $150,000. E. Lyall Swete, a prominent English stage director, was brought from the other side to stage it in America. Having already won distinction as the greatest theatrical spectacle that ever graced the American stage, it would not be surprising if "Chu Chin Chow" established a new record in this country for attendance. "JUST A WOMAN" NEXT NEWYORK, NY LAPTOPS WEEK AT LAFETTE "Just a Woman" will be put on at the Lafayette Theatre next week by the expable stock company. The play is based on the anilogue and the action centers about the steel industry in Pennsylvania. Through the inspiration of his energetic and ambitious wife, a common workman of the steel mills rises to the position of the head of a large steel corporation. As years pass he becomes a figure of prominence and influence, both in the industrial and social world. He then feels that his wife is beneath him, too uncultured and rough to be seen in his society and introduction to her husband, and mystifies his conduct warranting a divorce, he trumps up charges with the aid of an unscrupulous detective agency and brings her to trial for divorce. The wife refuses to defend herself, and the judge announces his intention of granting the husband a decree, with custody of the child. It is the latter who rouses the woman to action. Rushing to the stand, she perjures herself by declaring that the charges against her are true, but that the child cannot be given to the husband because he is not its father. Her statement writes a confession that the falls with the woman vindicated and the conspirators facing certain imprisonment." FOOTBALL HAS A NEW COLORED STAR Although last season's football sensation, Pollard, is not allowed to play with Brown this year, having failed in his studies, the race is to have a star in the person of Robeson, the crack end of the Rutgers eleon, whose aerial attack between Fordham and Rutgers, which was won by the latter, 29 to 0. The New York Times, speaking of Robeson's work, said: "Robeson, the giant Negro at left end, was a tower of strength both on the offense and defense, and it was his receiving of forward passes which shattered any hopes of glory which might have arisen in Fordham ranks during the game, down the field after receiving a perfect toss from Whitehill. The first time Robeson was not downed until he had covered thirty-five yards and placed the ball on Fordham's five-yard line. On the other occasion Robeson raced twenty-four yards before being brought to earth again closed to the Fordham goal line. Each of these passes gave Rutgers a chance to score, and Rutgers did not throw away the opportunity." ST. C. TO HOLD ROAD RACE. On Nov. 18, the St Christopher Club will hold a handicap road race.

In "Chu Chin Chow" it is necessary that negroid types be used to create the proper atmosphere, without which the presentation would be robbed of much of its realistic appeal. There are thirteenth scenes in this marvelous theatrical spectacle, and in every big scene may be seen Negroes in profusion. Here, there and every where they walk and dance about, giving color and a definite naturalness which stamp the producers as masters of detail. Even the street gamins who impress with their excellent pantomime work, although they speak not one word, hall from the vicinity of 135th street. It is a pleasure to be able to state that there is a member of the Negro race in the cast, a Miss Matty Thomas, who is one of the hits of the show. As Boston, a servant of Alt Baba, this young woman does a bit which sparkles with motion and originality, and her hearty laugh is no infectious that every time she utters an expression of merriment the audience willingly joins in. Who is she? "Just an ordinary young woman residing in New York with no previous training for the stage," to quote Morris Gest, who, in speaking to me about Miss Thomas two weeks ago, remarked that there was a colored girl in the cast who was going to be a hit. Mr. Gest's prediction has come true. Three hundred people, representing many races, are used in "Chu Chu Chow," and as there are Japanese, Chinese, Malays, etc., who also come under the heading of "colored peoples." I have used adversely the term "Negro," not wishing to see the meritorious work of members of the race confused with that of others. There are about seventy-five Negroes in the production, and their presence on a New York stage in a piece, the year of which is given as one thousand years ago, is a sort of chronological somersault. In our musical productions depicting the Negro of today, he is usually represented, or rather misrepresented, by white people under cork. In "Chiu Chin Chow" we have real Negroes portraying scenes true to life hundreds of years ago. At the Hippodrome some seasons back a levee scene, although elaborately staged, lost its effectiveness because the genuine article was not used. At the time I commented on this defect in these columns. Messrs. Elliott, Comstock and Gest have had the temerity to do the unusual—put a large number of Negroes in the biggest Broadway production that ever hit New York. When you recall that only a few years ago there was some adverse comment over the funniest low comedian in America becoming a member of Ziegfeld's Follies, the proper appreciation may be had for the daring shown by these three young producers. This step is truly revolutionary. White and colored people crowd the spacious stage at the Manhattan Opera House at the same time, and Miss Matty Thomas' work is mostly with Miss Lucy Baumont, who plays the part of Mabubah, the wife of Ali Baba. Can you picture a presentation of "Chin Chow" with its present personnel in Dixieland? "Chu 'Chin Chow,' programmed as a musical tale of the East, is taken from "The Forty Thieves," a story familiar to readers of "The Arabian Nights." A new stock of adjectives is necessary to fully describe this spectacular production, whose stage pictures are dazzling, at times bewildering, for their lavishness and wealth of detail. Silks and satins are carelessly shown in prodigal profusion, and the elaborate costumes and picturesque stage settings provide a most sumptuous feast for the eye. The fighting effects are new and novel "Chu Chin Chow" is not merely an ocular entertainment. It also delights the ear, some of the music being of the melodies variety. It cannot be said, however, that all of the artists do full justice to the vocal numbers entrusted to them. George Rasley, Felice de Gregorio and Miss Teen Kosta make the most favorable impression as vocalists. The young woman gives the most artistic singing readition of the entire performance in the second act in the Blue Hall of Karim's Palace. Miss Florence Reed is a convincing Zahral-Ai-Kulub, winning sympathy with her beauty, grace and histrionic power. Henry Dixey, as Ali Baba; Tyrone Power, as Ala Hairen; Miss Kate Condon, as Alcalow; Francis J. Browle, as Abdullah, and Miss Ida Mullu, as Zalel-Demaki, are among the important members in the cast who PHILADELPHIA, PA. Philadelphia. B—The Rev. John A.
