I.—The Buffalo auditorium, built by the 36th Intry at a cost of $40,000, was forlly opened Friday of last week for most favorable conditions.

Colonel Mass Grateful to His Men. Colonel Moss acted as presiding officer to the erection of the Buffalo as an achievement of which The New York Age he was very proud. Serving for eighteen years with colored troops, Colonel Moss said he was happy in the thought that he was going to France to fight with them in the world war. He lauded the loyalty and generosity of the men of his regiment who had contributed $14,000 of the $40,000 needed to build the auditorium, which is said to be the largest building in any of the cantonments. General Johnson was the next speaker, and told the drafted men they were to play a big part in the fight to make the world safe for democracy. General Hay, who has seen twenty years of active service with colored troops, spoke of the bravery of the colored soldier, and urged the men to fit themselves for the big task ahead. Assistant Secretary of War Crowell complimented the members of the 367th Infantry on being able to call such a large auditorium their own, and declared that he had never heard such excellent singing at any of the camps as that rendered by the draftees of the 367th under Director Weinstein. So carried away was he with the choral numbers that he asked that another song be sung before he left. Major General Biddle told the drafted men that before many months there would be thousands of colored troops in France from this country, and urged them not to forget that colored officers and colored troopers would be on trial on the European battle field. Hon Emmett J. Scott attributed the erection of the Buffalo Auditorium to team work and intelligent co-operation. He predicted that the regiment, with its excellent morale, would see it through. Hon Charles W. Anderson humorously stated that whenever the white man in America is in trouble he is always sure to call on the colored man; that the Negro's unquestioned loyalty makes him dependable even when white man is suspicious of white man. Some months ago when neighbor was distrustful of neighbor, confidence in the White Troops and the Capitol. Some group of people is always benefitted more than others as the result of warfare, and Mr. Anderson expressed himself as being confident that the Negro would greatly profit from the present conflict. Dr. DuBois declared that this was not the first time that the Negro had been called on to help save civilization; he referred to the colored American's participation in the Revolutionary, Civil and Spanish wars, and had stress on the victory of the Union soldiers in the Civil War, which was only realized after the colored troops had been permitted to fight. Dr. DuBois also referred to the Negro's participation in the fight in the interest of art and culture in Africa thousands of years ago. Butler Wilson, of Boston, said that the present war would not be won by white men alone, and commented on the valor of the colored soldier Singing a Feature of Program. Benchetion was pronounced by the Buffalo Auditorium, Camp Upton, N. Y. The singing of Negro spirituals and other songs was one of the features of an interesting program. "Roll, Jordan Roll," "Old Black Joe," "See It Through" and "Over There" were some of the numbers enthusiastically applauded while the regimental band, under Bandmaster L. E. Thompson, effectively played several selections. The Buffalo Auditorium has a front age of 135 feet and a depth of 175 feet with a seating capacity of five thousand. Before the exercises the civilian guests were entertained at luncheon in the cafeteria of the 367th Infantry, hostess over which Mrs. Helen Curtis presides, and Mrs. Charlotte Seabrooke is cafeteria directress. The luncheon was in-charge of the officers of the regiment, and Captain Williams, Lieutenant McKame and their brother officers were most agreeable as hosts. B. J.

Washington, D. C.—A delegation from the New York Branch of the National Association people went to Washington Tuesday carrying a petition signed by twelve thousand citizens of New York in which the President was asked to extend executive clemency to the five Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry now under sentence of deah by court martial which tried the Houston riot cases, and als asking that the President cause to be laid before him a review of the cases of the forty-one soldiers of the same regiment who were sentenced to life imprisonment by the first court martial. The delegation consisted of James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Rev. George Fitzgerald Miller, rector of St. Y. Augustine's Church, Brooklyn, the Re. Frank M. Hyder, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church, New York City and the Rev F. A. Cullen, president of the New York Branch. Mr. Johnson acted as spokesman of the delegation and said in part: "We come as a delegation from the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing the twelve thousand signers to this petition which we have the honor to lay before you. And we come not only as the representatives of those who signed this petition, but, we come representing the sentiments and aspirations and sorrow, too, of the great mass of the Negro population of the United States "We respectfully and earnestly request and urge that you extend executive clemency to the five Negro soldiers of the twenty-fourth Infantry now under sentence of death by court martial. And, understanding that the cases of the men of the same regiment who were sentenced to life imprisonment by the first court, martial are to be reviewed, we also request and urge that you cause HUSBAND NOT A MONTHER -pletely Ignored at the Funeral of His Wife. CALLED BY MAIDEN NAME Deceased Referred to Throughout the Services as "Bianche Bailey," Although She Was Married to McQuarier Last June in Buffalo—Position of the Rev. E. S. Bailey. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.) SYRACUSE, N.Y.—Harold Alonzo McQuarter, for many years a resident of Syracuse and now employed in Buffalo, sat in the A. M. F. Zion Church Monday of last week and heard the funeral services read over the body of his wife; he was not with the mourners, but sat alone unnoticed and ignored. The Rev. E. S. Bailey, pastor of the church, did not oblige, for the deceased, referred to throughout the services as "Blanche Bailey," was his daughter. The Rev. Mr. Durham, of Buffalo had charge, and the fact that the dead woman had been married was disregarded altogether. It is said that the Rev. Mr. Bailey before the services forbade the Rev. Mr. Durham and the other ministers taking part from calling the deceased by her married name. The day after the funeral, when newspaper accounts of the services contained no reference to "Mrs. McQuarter," and spoke of "Blanche Bailey," the husband decided to demand an explanation With a marriage certificate certifying that "Harold A. McQuarter" and "Blanche Bailey" were legally united in matrimony in Buffalo last June, he appeared at the offices of the Post-Standard and asked that a correction be made. He was married to the former Miss Bailey, he said, in the regular manner, although it was against the wishes of her parents. She joined him in Buffalo while her father was attending a church conference, and lived with him there until her death in a Buffalo hospital a few days ago. The body was brought here at the request of the Rev. Mr. Bailey for interment in Oakwood Cemetery. Announcement of the death and funeral services were made by the father, who used his daughter's maiden name in all of them. When asked for an explanation, Mr. Bailey said; I did not see them married. I have never seen a marriage-certificate. I was told they were married in Buffalo. She was my daughter; why should she not bear my name? "I want to make the record clear in justice to my dead wife," said Mr. McQuarter. "We had many friends here, and it is unjust to her memory, as well as to me, to let the impression that she was not married go unchallenged. We were married 'tit Buffalo' in our LEADING BOSTONIANS CONDEMN INHUMAN PRACTICE OF LYNCHING; STATE OF SAVAGERY IS DEPLORED TO SEE SERVICE AS REGULAR SOLDIERS Major General John Biddle, acting Chief of Staff of the United States Army, while addressing the members of the 367th Infantry at the opening of the Buffalo Auditorium Friday of last week at Camp, Upton, stated that the stevedore regiments would sooner or later see service in the trenches and would be given a chance to fight for their country as regular soldiers. General Johnson also stated that thousands of colored troops would be sent to France to take part in the world war. Several stevedore regiments made up of colored men are already in France, it is said. I. WESLEY LANE DIES AFTER A 6 DAY'S ILLNESS J.

Gov. Coolidge, Mayor Peters and the Rev. D. D. McClane, rector of St. Bartholomew's Church, Cambridge, were among the speakers who took part in the big meeting held Friday evening of last week at Faneuil Hall under the auspices of the Boston Literary and Historical Society to honor Moorfield Storey and present him with a loving cup in recognition of his life-long efforts to obtain equal rights for the Negro. All the speakers condemned the practice of subjecting Negroes to violent deaths without trials before a court of justice. Mr. Storey was given a great ovation, and, in denouncing mob law, said: "This thing must stop. We don't want any more laws to do it. We've got laws enough. There is no law that says one man can burn or lynch another. "Such work means that our civilization is going back toward the state of savagery that existed among the Indians before we settled here. If some few people sanctioned it, that would be a different question. But all persons in certain sections, even ministers and the most prominent citizens, sanction the barbarous actions. Mothers hold up children in their arms that they may witness these horrors." the Constitution of the United States." The Rev. Mr. McClane challenged any person in the hall, or in America, to cate one instance of a Negro soldier being shot because he had proved a traitor or a coward, or shot in the back while fleeing from the enemy. After commending the Negro race for its loyalty, he continued: "Be as loyal in the future as you have been in the past and you will be loyal to Mr. Storey. Be loyal to your country and to your flag and in return pray that the flag will be loyal to us. And show unity. Don't be afraid to protest when some one does something to you that you know is wrong." He outlined the German atrocities in Europe and added that "the murder of helpless colored men and women in the Southland is just as atrocious." He im- Mr. Storey said he would do all in his power to promote action that will do away with atrocities such as the Negroes have been subjected to. He advised that the Negroes unite in combatting the killing of members of their race and promised that should they do so the day would come when the atrocities must stop. He gained further cheers and applause with the assertion that all American of state and finally white citizens of the country must stand the responsibility for the recent lynching of a Negro in Tennessee as well as for the illegal putting to death of every other member of that race in the United States. Pay Tributes to Moorfield Storey. Lieut. Gov. Coolidge declared that it must be a great satisfaction to Mr. Storey to witness there before him the great progress members of the race are making. He said that Negroes were helping to fill the ranks of the American army and were being awarded medals for bravery, while others were at home working in support of the army and navy. He characterized the honor that Mr. Storey was receiving as probably one of the greatest of the many tributes to the latter's accomplishments. "As chief executive of Boston," asserted Mr. Peters, "I deem it a pleasure to salute you, Mr. Storey, as the best type of American citizen, an honor to the city and the State. "Those great bullwarks of America, the right of the ballot and equal rights for all citizens without distinction of race or creed, are the foundations of his (Mr. Storey's) public activity, a monument that will last while human history is read.

He outlined the German atrocities in Europe and added that "the murder of helpless colored men and women in the Southland is just as atrocious." He implored God to give Mr. Storey the power to prevent the slaying of Negroes in that section of the country. Iris Shaw, a nine-year-old colored girl, the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. M. A. N.

The meeting of the Republican National Committee last week at St. Louis which brought about the election of a new chairman without an open contest, is hailed by most Republicans as a sign of returning harmony in the ranks of the party. This may be so, but so far as the Negro is concerned the election of Mr. Hayes or Mr. Adams as chairman was not half as important as the fact that the committee showed symptoms of Lilywhitism in turning down the man elected by the Republicans of Mississippi to represent them. The fact that Perry W. Howard is a Negro and the man who was given his place on the committee, M. J. Mulvihill, is white lends to the transaction an unpleasant color. It smacks of Lilywhitism. That the committee was so closely divided as 25 to 22 is not without significance. The election of Mr. Hays is supposed to mark the ascendency of the progressive element in the Republican party. If the Progressives can do no better than this, it might be just as well to continue to court defeat under the leadership of the Old Guard. At least, they could do no worse. The Republican leaders have not yet learned their lesson. They are living in a changing era, but they do not seem to realize it. With the various changes brought about in the economic and industrial field, there are bound to be others along political lines. Are these leaders trying to bring about a political migration of the Negro? AFRICANS IN THE WAR. The employment of a contingent of natives from South Africa as laborers for the British Army in France is pronounced a success by a British army captain in a report published in the South African Native Opinion of Kingwilliamstown. The actual work in which these forces have been engaged has been unloading ships in French harbors, loading and unloading trains with shells and ammunition, repairing and constructing roads and railways, sawing and loading trees, building hangars, quarry work, etc. All this has been done in France at the base or on communication lines, away from the firing line. The value and quality of the work performed is pronounced excellent by the officers in charge. The natives have been housed in "closed compounds," huts or tents surrounded by a fence. The report naively refers to this species of imprisonment as "constituting an apparent hardship," giving rise to a certain amount of discontent, but that it proved a valuable protection for the natives themselves. In these compounds were located "dry" canteens and cricket, football and other games were encouraged. Last week another human being was burned alive in the State of Tennessee. This is the third within nine months, one for each quarter. Perhaps it is the intention of the people of that state to complete the record for the fiscal year by burning another in the next three months. It is claimed that the rate of sickness has been considerably lower than was expected, usually lower than that of other troops at the base. Two hospitals have been specially built in different parts of France for this contingent, but neither has ever been even half full. All patients found unfit for further service have been sent back to South Africa, so it is reported. The factors that have contributed to the general good health of the contingent are set down as suitable clothing, sanitary quarters and good and sufficient food. The first victim of the brutality of these fiends of Tennessee was Ell Person, burned at Memphis the early part of last summer. The next was, Lignon Scott, burned at Dyersburg last December. And this third and latest is Jim McIlherron, burned at Estill Springs on last Tuesday, Lincoln's birthday. Of these three crimes of barbarity, the burning of Jim McIlherron stands as the worst. In the cases of Person and Scott the charge, at least, was rape; in the case of McIlherron the charge was murder, the murder of two white men. And the killing of these men took place in a street fight. This nine months record for Tennessee shows also an increase in the savagery of the mobs. Ell Person was merely chained to an iron stake and burned to death. The mob before burning Lignon Scott heated iron-rods at another fire, and rammed these red-hot irons in his eyes and down his throat. The mob that burned Jim McIlherron also used red-hot irons to torture him into making what they called a confession. We cannot imagine what further methods of brutal torture will be devised in Tennessee. Perhaps, if expense is not taken into account, the next victim will be placed in boiling oil. The educational value of this experiment to the native is enumerated as follows: His mental horizon enlarged by travel and seeing other people and customs a year spent under army discipline without liquor; wearing decent clothes and acquiring habits of neatness and cleanliness; witnessing French agricultural methods. The conclusion of the report is that "the whole contingent ought to return to South Africa better and wiser men, and more useful to the State in every way." It might have been because of the shame they felt for the country or because such happenings are growing so frequent in Tennessee as to lose news value, but, any rate, the New York papers carried only very brief accounts of this burning. To show the stark savagery of so called civilized people in Tennessee, we quote from the Chattanooga Times of February 14. The Times' special correspondent witnessed the burning and reported the facts to his paper over the telephone. He stated that while he was telephoning, one of the members of the mob stood at his side with a gun warning him not to give out any names. The Chattanooga Times of February 14 published the following paragraphs taken from its correspondent's notebook: We believe that the results of this experiment will be more far-reaching than this. The knowledge and experience gained by these South African pioneers may prove a leaven among their fellows and inspire them to gain that share of true democracy that the world is fighting for today. The ways of Providence are mysterious and past finding out, but this war is proving the medium of mighty changes. So let it be. "Five o'clock—Word reaches here that the boy's slayer is captured and is being brought to Estill Springs. All afternoon little groups of men, with firm jaws set and determined looks upon their faces arrive on horseback, all are heavily armed. Reported that a wire has been sent to Gov. Rye asking for troops to prevent lynching. "Six-thirty—Approximately 1,500 people are crowded around the railroad station and along the side of the tracks. The train arrives and the posse alight with the Negro, who is lying on a stretcher. A prominent citizen jumps to the station platform and asks the crowd to keep order; he then asks that the Negro be taken out of town to be burnt." "The Negro's captors carry their prisoner to the exact spot where the boys were murdered and orders are given for those who desire to look upon him to form a single file and march by. They are asked not to do violence to the murderer or to spit in his face. The crowd does as bid and marched by; the Negro with one eye shot out, an arm hanging limp, the result of a bullet wound received in the battle with the posse, and his clothing covered with blood, was a gruesome sight. He is glaring at the spectators and cursing with nearly every breath. A female relative of one of the slain boys comes up to the Negro, kicks him in the ribs and spits in his face. When an attempt is made to dissuade her she becomes hysterical and cries for a pistol, begging that she be allowed to end the life of the black. Among the spectators are women with babies in their arms and little children hardly able to toddle. ANOTHER WAR BENEFIT. ANOTHER WAR BENEFIT. Among the many good results growing out of the war is the training of the masses of the selected recruits at the various camps, not only along military lines but in the ways of sanitary living and the elements of educational and industrial training. "Seven-thirty—The Negro is being chained to a hickory tree and the funeral pyre is being made ready; every one wants to give a hand, several little boys hardly in their teens carry wood for the pyre. Nowhere is this more strikingly shown than among the members of the 367th Regiment, stationed at Camp Upton. Many of the men whose chances to acquire an education had been limited were encouraged to attend the night schools established and endeavor to make good their deficiencies. Classes have been conducted by many of the officers for the benefit of the men, who have not been slow to make the most of the advantages offered them. "Seven-forty—A red-hot crowbar_is brought forward by a masked man, who jabs it at the Negro's body. The Negro grab it with his bare hands and the odor of burning flesh fills the atmosphere. McIlherron groans and curses. The iron is then applied to each side of the Negro's neck, searing the flesh. Screams that were heard for half a mile rent the air. The Negro then implicated the son of Lynch, a Negro preacher who was killed the day before by a mob. "Seven-fifty—Eleven more masked men appear on the scene and prepare the fire. Coal oil is poured on the Negro's legs and feet. One of the executioners strikes a match that starts the death fire. As the fire eats its way upward the Negro begs for mercy and asks that some one shoot him. He is jeered at. When the flames reach his hair the victim becomes unconscious. "The body hung upon the tree as a warning to other Negroes all night and part of the following day." There is an exhibition of savagery and hellishness that cannot be even approached in any country in the world, outside of the United States of America. It is absolutely inconceivable in any country of Europe. It is less conceivable in Japan or Chifla. There is no tribe in Africa that could descend to it. There are no Indians in the wilds of South America that could stomach it. To-day, there is only one country on the entire globe where such a thing can take place, and that is this great democracy, the United States. This condition has been brought about through the initiative of Colonel James A Moss, whose solicitude for the welfare of the men of his regiment has shown itself in every possible way. AMERICANIZING RUSSIA. A gang of six armed men in motor harrers last night visited two social clubs in this city and robbed the members of 64,000 rubles and the guests of 200,000 rubles as well as a large amount of diamonds and other jewels. -Despatch from Petrograd. To make any comparison between these atrocities committed by the Huns of Tennessee and the atrocities being committed by the Huns of Europe is an insult to common sense. In the first place, we have no certain proof that the Huns of Europe have done all of things with which they are charged; and even if they have, they did them in warfare. Jim Mellherron was tortured and burned to death in a state where the civil laws are in force, in a state where those laws are entirely in the hands of the white people; and in a county where the colored people constitute only fifteen per cent of the population. In view of these terrible crimes, the burnings at Memphis and at Dyersburg and at Estill Springs, all happenings since our entry into the European war, and as yet no serious attempt made to punish a single person that took part in them, we ask, how can the white people of Tennessee, of the South, of the country expect the American Negro to give them the least credit for sincerity when they speak in horror about atrocities in Belgium and in Serbia and in Armenia? But the absorption of American ideals by the Russians would have been more pronounced, if the report had ended with the statement that the accused man had been burned at the stake, after a confession had been extorted by the application of red-hot irons A colored minister of Chattanooga put it in mild language when he said, "It seems that wisdom would dictate that while billions of dollars and millions of lives are being sacrificed to make the world safe for democracy that a little attention be given to making Tennessee safe for humanity. Is it possible that we are out of the world in Tennessee?" No, the Russians have much to learn before their Americanization can be truly styled rapid. A few missionaries from Tennessee could do much to accelerate their progress. In the face of facts, "Making the world safe for democracy means nothing more to the American Negro than any other rhetorical phrase. The thing that vitally concerns the Negro is having the United States and especially the South made safe for him. POOR GOVERNOR RYE. Governor Rye of Tennessee, when apprised of Estill Springs gave out a statement in which he anything that I can do to right any wrong that he gladly do it, but what authority I have, I do not made any investigation. I have been at my home the only information about the lynching is the papers." Whatever consolation we might get from the ingness to do anything that he can to right any wrong that he gladly do it, but what authority I have, I do not made any investigation. I have been at my home the only information about the lynching is the papers." Whatever consolation we might get from the ingness to do anything that he can to right any wrong that he gladly do it, but what authority he has and doesn't know what these crimes, burnings similar to the one which Springs last week, have happened within the state of Tennessee to give the Governor plenty of time reason for looking up his authority and finding action he should follow in such cases. If he did, Memphis burning occurred, there was no excuse, when the Dyersburg burning occurred, and stillance when the Estill Springs burning took place. Governor Rye says he doesn't know what he is something wrong with the laws of Tennessee governor of Tennessee. We believe the fault lies. Let us suppose that the mob at Estill Springs, a black human being had taken a horse, chained him had heated irons until they were red-hot and wounded the animal while it groaned in agony, the torture by pouring coal oil over the horse in death. Do you not think that the Governor or live in Tennessee would have found law and autopetrators of such heinous crime? There is. The Nashville Banner, published at the capital not mine words on this matter. From an editor a half in length, we pick out the following sentence of the whole article: "This practice of burning the stake and subjecting them to torture is rank avail to try to excuse or modify it, or call it by No really civilized people ever indulged in a prairie. And in another place it says: "Lynching began groes for rape. It was extended to hanging the crimes. Then Negroes were burned for rape, burned and tortured for other offenses. Lynchie South in the ranks of the backward, half-civil earth, and they must be suppressed." If Governor Rye wants to know what to do if he really wants to right the terrible wrong that only against the Negro but against the State, if make a claim for the people of Tennessee to starved peoples of the world, let him take courage from this paper published in the very city in which he me, when apprised of the lynching incident in which he said: "If there is any wrong that has been done I will I have, I do not know as I have, he been at my home sick to-day, and the lynching is that contained in the night get from the Governor's will to right any wrong that has been this confession that he doesn't know isn't know what to do. Enough or do the one which took place at Estill sed within the past nine months in or plenty of time and abundance of priority and finding out what line of cases. If he did not know when the he was no excuse for his not knowing occurred, and still less for his ignorning took place. It don't know what he can do; then there are of Tennessee or wrong with the believe the fault lies with the governor at Estill Springs instead of taking a horse, chained him to a tree, then the red-hot and with them seared the aned in agony, and then, had ended over the horse and burning him to the Governor or some other executive law and authority to punish the time? There is no doubt about it resided at the capital of the state, does. From an editorial of a column and following sentence, which is typical of burning Negro criminals and torture is rank savagery. It is not it, or call it by any milder name, indulged in a practice of that kind." Lynching began with hanging Need to hanging them for all manner burned for rape and now they are offenses Lynchings are placing the award, half-civilized people of the used." Now what to do and how to do it, terrible wrong that has been done not insist the State, if he really wants to Tennessee to stand among the civil-take courage from the utterance of the city in which he lives. Governor Rye of Tennessee, when apprised of the lynching at Estill Springs gave out a statement in which he said: "If there is anything that I can do to right any wrong that has been done I will gladly do it, but what authority I have, I do not know as I haven't made any investigation. I have been at my home sick to-day, and the only information about the lynching is that contained in the papers." Whatever consolation we might get from the Governor's willingness to do anything that he can to right any wrong that has been done is entirely taken away by his confession that he doesn't know what authority he has and doesn't know what to do. Enough of these crimes, burnings similar to the one which took place at Estill Springs last week, have happened within the past nine months in Tennessee to give the Governor plenty of time and abundance of reason for looking up his authority and finding out what line of action he should follow in such cases. If he did not know when the Memphis burning occurred, there was no excuse for his not knowing when the Dyersburg burning occurred, and still less for his ignorance when the Estill Springs burning took place. Governor Rye says he doesn't know what he can do; then there is something wrong with the laws of Tennessee or wrong with the governor of Tennessee. We believe the fault lies with the governor. Let us suppose that the mob at Estill Springs instead of taking a black human being had taken a horse, chained him to a tree, then had heated irons until they were red-hot and with them seared the body of the animal while it groaned in agony, and then, had ended the torture by pouring coal oil over the horse and burning him to death. Do you not think that the Governor or some other executive in Tennessee would have, found law and authority to punish the perpetrators of such heinous crime? There is no doubt about it. The Nashville Banner, published at the capital of the state, does not mince words on this matter. From an editorial of a column and a half in length, we pick out the following sentence, which is typical of the whole article: "This practice of burning Negro criminals at the stake and subjecting them to torture is rank savagery. It is no avail to try to excuse or modify it, or call it by any milder name. No really civilized people ever indulged in a practice of that kind." And in another place it says: "Lynching began with hanging Negroes for rape. It was extended to hanging them for all manner of crimes. Then Negroes were burned for rape and now they are burned and tortured for other offenses. Lynchings are placing the South in the ranks of the backward, half-civilized people of the earth, and they must be suppressed." If Governor Rye wants to know what to do and how to do it, if he really wants to right the terrible wrong that has been done not only against the Negro but against the State, if he really wants to make a claim for the people of Tennessee to stand among the civilized peoples of the world, let him take courage from the utterance of this paper published in the very city in which he lives.

DAVIS East Springs, Tenn. Feb 12. Jim Mellborton, a Negev who shot and killed two white men here last Friday, was burned at the stake here to-might after a confession had been forced from him by application of red-hot iron. Had any such item as this come out of Belgium or Austria we should know what to think of the unreasonable Germans and Turks responsible. A wave of honor would sweep over the country and there would be an extra rush to the consignment offices. But when America this debase themselves nobody volunteers to end the evil, nobody speaks about it at least anybody who is white and we completely turn to the congenial work of setting up democracy in Germany "The application of red-hot iron" is now a regular testine of those tortures this is the second of the kind within a couple of weeks. In the other case the man's eyeballs were slowly burned out with at even an apology to the Slovaks. There is a Canadian soldier young around the country destring our furry communities with the tale of the prosecution of three Canadians by German needs.

WILSON RECEIVES CLEMENCY PETITION (Continued from First Page) this review to be laid before you that executive clemency be shown to them. "We feel that the history of this particular regiment and the splendid reco- rve for bravery and loyalty of our Nerg- soldier in every crisis of the nation give us the right to make this request. And we make it not only in the man of their loyalty, but also in the man of the unquestionable loyalty to the tion of twelve million Negroes—a ability which today places them side by with the original American stocks landed at Plymouth and Jamestown. "The hanging of thirteen men with the opportunity of appeal to the Sec- tary of war or to their Commander- Chief, the President of the Uri- States, was a punishment so drastic as so unusual in the history of the natu- that the execution of additional mem- bers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry would the colored people of the country save vengeance rather than justice." None But Colored Men Prosecuted "It is neither our purpose nor is it the occasion to argue whether this attitude of mind on the part of colour people is justified or not. As representatives of the race we desire only a testify that it does exist. This state of mind has been intensified by the significant fact that although white persons were involved in the Houston affair and the regiment to which the colored men belonged was officered entirely by white men, none but colored men, so far as we have been able to learn, have been prosecuted or condemned. "We desire also to call to your attention respectfully the fact that there were mitigating circumstances for the acres of these men of the Twenty-fourth-fifth fantasy. Not by any premedicated destiny and without cause did these men do what they did at Houston, but by a low series of humilating and harassing incidents, culminating in the brutal assault on Corporal Baltimore, they goaded to sudden and frightened action. This is borne out by the long read for orderly and soldierly conduct on the part of the regiment throughout in whole history up to that time. "And to the end that you extend the clemency which we ask, we lay lay for you this petition signed by white as we as colored citizens of New York; one of the signers being a white man, president of a New York bank, 72 years of age and a native of Lexington, Ky." "And now, Mr. President, we would not let this opportunity pass without mentioning the terrible outrages against our people that have taken place in the last three-quarters of a year, our courage that are not only unspoiled knife against them, but blots upon the face of our common country. We mention the roots at East St. Louis, which the colored people bore the brunt of both the cruelty of the mob and the processes of law. And we especial mention the savage burnings that had taken place in the single state of Tennessee within nine months, the burnings at Memphis, Tenn., at Dyersville, Tenn., only by the fire of Tenn., where a Nexto charm with the killing of two men was turtured with red-hot trons, then saturated with oil and burned to death before a crowd of American men, women and children. And we ask that you, we have spoken so nobly to the whole world for the cause of humanity, speak against the specific wrongs. We realize your high position and the tremendous moral influence which you would in the world will give a word from you greater force than could come from any source. Our people are intently listening and praying that you may find a your heart to speak that word." The President received the delegates very cordially and granted them a audience lasting half an hour. He pressed his sympathy and promised look over the records of the trials consider them in a favorable light. I'd rather hear a ton of it That hits the basement floor. —Washington, a Star.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN --- SUBSTITUTE FOR FLOUR. The students of the Domestic Science Department of Princess Anne Academy, Eastern Branch of California State College of Agriculture, under the direction of their instructor, haye extracted a flour from white potatoes by paring them thinly, cutting them into thin slices and dropping them into water, where they remain for a few minutes. They are then removed from the water, each slice is dried with a clean cloth and placed on a screen drier on a stove, where the temperature is about 110 degrees. They remain there for twelve hours or until the slices are dry and crisp. They are next put through a gender and then slisted three or four times; first through a coarse sifter, then a finer one, until the desired quality is obtained. The flour is of a dark color, somewhat like rye flour. This experiment was made December 8. An experiment for a good bleaching process is now occupying the attention of the students. Recipe for potato flour muffins: One cup of potato flour, 1 cup of wheat flour, 3 teaspoons of baking power, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of shortening, if butter or lard; if crisco, 3/4; 1/4 cups of milk, 1 egg. Mix and sift the dry ingredients three times; beat the egg until very light and add to the milk; then stir in the dry ingredients; when thoroughly mixed add the melted shortening.

COOK YOUR BANANAS only the banana is not occurred as a food is that it unripe and raw. will eat raw potatoes as the condition in which it is stored. The remedy is to eat the potato. This is the advice in the Journal National Association some recent diet I. M. C. Pease and New York Post. B. S. Schmidt. It is proved to be a satisf- satisfient nutrient for the human body. It is closely unwise, therefore, to expect the raw banana, in the stage in CONDUCTED BY RITA which much unconverted starch still remains, to prove free from the objects that apply to other unripe or uncooked starchy foods. He goes on: "Even the green banana can be eaten with impunity if the pulp is thoroughly cooked, as is done in the case of the comparable potate. The chief reason for the unfavorable reputation attained by the banana, when eaten uncooked, appears to lie in the failure of most persons to understand what a ripe banana really is." "The chemist has closely followed the changes that the skin and pulp of the banana undergo simultaneously during ripening, a process facilitated by heat in the presence of air. Bananas that are merely yellow are not ripe. Pease and Rose remind us, in harmony with numerous published analyses, that characteristic changes take place in the peel as the fruit matures. The thick, turgid covering of the green banana becomes thinner and more pliable; the color passes from green to pale yellow, deepening to golden yellow with brown skin. The banana is brown all over. Bananas are edible ripe when the brown spots appear, and need not be refused as overripe when the peel is entirely brown if the covering intact and the pulp shows no signs of fermentation. The brown color of the ripening must not be confused with the brown patches due to bruising. "The proof of the pudding is the eating. Utilization experiments have demonstrated that the underripe banana when baked is utilized to about the same extent as the potato, and is similar to this vegetable in its nutritive value. It is not in case there is any suggestion of deleterious effect on the banana baked or raw when fully ripe. In the late yellow stage, before the development of the distinct golden color, the raw fruit can be consumed by normal persons in small quantities (say one or two bananas) without discomfort or apparent harm. Nevertheless the recent authors are of the opinion that the raw fruit should not be given to children at this stage. Please and Rose have conducted enough actual tests to justify the statement that the banana with profit enter liberally into the child's dietary, provided it is fully ripe or well cooked. If eaten haked in the yellow stage of ripeness, or if eaten raw while fully ripe, the banana makes a delightful and highly nutritious article of food. Its composition does not warrant the use of the bananas as the main component of the child's dietary, but it can compete well with other fruits, and is decidedly to be preferred to candies. Let the important fact be emphasized again that the banana ought not to be eaten raw until after the brown spots begin to appear. At this stage, we are reminded by the investigators cited, the banana assumes a full golden yellow and is in its most attractive appearance. A completely browned skin, they properly add, is not in itself a sign of overripeness, and such fruit should be judged by the texture of the pulp. The brown color of the peel, however, may not be confused with the darkening of the injured banana is soon invaded, by yeast-cells through the abrasions and the broken end; the banana 'finger', therefore, should not be broken from the 'hand' or stem, but cut in such manner as to leave a good margin between the cut surface and the pulp. "When we have at length learned to recognize ripeness in the banana and have ceased to eat the unripe fruit because we mistake its yellow tinge as the sign of a wholesome stage, we may further come to appreciate a positive advantage in the 'sterile package' represented by the undamaged leaf. Baile's investigations have shown this to be practically impervious to bacteria. —Fowler— The worthy of distinct orthopsis—a banana properly died is 'uncontaminated by dirt and pathogenic germs'—as purchased from the push-cart in our congested streets. How many other foods that are edible without cooking can make an equally meritorious claim?"—Literary Digest. WESTWOOD N J Westwood, N.

WALTON) ON the evening of February 14 a concert, chiefly of Negro music by Negro composers, was given at Jordan Hall, Boston, before a distinguished audience of white and colored music-lovers, and the presence on the program of such well-known and talented artists as Harry T. Burleigh as accompanist, Clarence Cameron White, violinist, and Miss Ann Lillian Evans, soprano, did much to give the entertainment tone and Efforts of this kind are praise-worthy, for they tend to develop among Negroes race pride and awaken a much-needed trait—race consciousness. They further serve to raise us in higher esteem among well-thinking white people. Similar concerts, under the proper auspices, should be given throughout the United States. It would be the right move in the right direction from which incalculable benefits to the race would accrue sooner or later. In glancing over the program I note that the usual policy of completely ignoring the lyricist was consistently followed out. For what reason the writer of the words to a song is always kept in the background on high-class musical programs has always been a source of wonderment to me. When I asked those who should know, for instance the publisher, I am repeatedly told, "Merely a matter of custom." I recently read a lengthy and interesting article in the New York Evening Mail about Negro songs. "Exhortation" and "The Rain Song" were referred to as having been written by Will Marion Cook. No mention was made that Alex Rogers was the originator of the idea and wrote the words to these numbers. When you read in the papers of Harry T. Burleigh's "The Young Warrior," you seldom, if ever, are told that James Weldon Johnson wrote the words, and although "Mammy" was the babe of my brain, my experience has been similar to that of Messrs. Rogers and Johnson. This is not to be regarded as a great outcry against those who set words to music. Far from "it. I have no desire to minimize their importance nor belittle them in any manner whatsoever. My plaint is on behalf of a square deal for the lyric writer. It would be absurd for the lyricist to quarrel with the writer of music and to charge that the latter was responsible for conditions not to his liking. Such is not the case. Any publisher will tell you that he can get all the pretty melodies he wants, but experiences some difficulty in securing original ideas. "What we want most are words with a new idea for a song," the song-writer is being constantly told by the publisher. And yet it is the publisher who usually fails to give the lyricist the kindly consideration she him. This is particularly true in the matter of high-class songs. In the popular field the word and music writers break into type on a more equitable basis. This appeal for just recognition is not made merely for a few lyric writers, but on behalf of all; so at a time when antiquated custom is being thrown into the scrap-heap and everyone is in quest of a square deal, it seems to me that it is opportune and fitting to demand that the lyric writer be accorded the rec- ognition to which he is so justly entitled. The program of the concert given at Jordan Hall follows: Mr. Burleigh at the Piano Southland Sketches ..... Harry T. Burleigh No. 1. Aodante No. 2.

WHITE TO PRESENT "THE TIDAL "The Tidal Wave," a drama in four strong acts, will be seen at the Lafayette Theatre next week. "The Tidal Wave" is a drama of love and adventure in four interesting acts. The plot takes you from the coast of Maine to the South Sea Islands. The story deals with two brothers who are in love with the same girl, the younger brother, Dave, being the girl's choice. The girl, Ruth, influences her father, Captain Peabody, to give Dave a berth as mate of his boat, the Flying Cloud. Joe, the older brother's ambition was to be mate and being the elder brother he thought he should get the berth, Mrs. Merrick, the mother of the boys, tried to console Joe, but he, having a treacherous heart, planned how he could have Dave disgraced. He finally gets Dave under the influence of liquor. Dave's sweetheart, his mother, and Captain Peabody seeing him in that condition, pass, him by without speaking to him. Thinking himself disgraced, he turns to his brother for consolation. Joe then tells him that he has inherited the craze for liquor from his dead father and to go away for a few days until it blows over, saying he would let Dave know when it was all right to come back. Later his brother tells him he will not be forgiven and the captain would not consider taking a drunkard as mate. Dave immediately seeks solace in whit he considered his heritage. Next we see him a broken down man a beach-comber on the South Sea Islands, known only as Hong Kong, and with two companions, Hicks and Simpson are enduring terrible hardships. How Dave finally meets his brother and in what way he pummed him is very interesting portrayed by the Lafayette Players. The play is one of the strongest dramas the management has had the pleasure to offer its patrons, not alone because of its strong plot and original situations. BASEBALL IN FLORIDA. PALM BEACH, Fla.—In an exciting contest the breakers won the third game of the series from the American Giants, representing the Royal Poincéain Hotel, the score ending, 5 to 2. Up to the eighth inning the score was 2 to 0 in favor of Rube Poster's team.

The game was full of thrills and played before a large attendance. Leroy fine catch of Santop's hot liner in the fine catch of Santop's hot liner in the first inning. Chacon, the Cuban wonder, made a great double play in the fifth, putting out Francis at second and then nailing Williams at first. Gonzales, the Cuban star, made a pretty left hand catch in the sixth inning, retiring the side. In the seventh, the whirlwind pitcher, Cockrell, replaced Padrone and held the opposing batsmen hitless. Another brilliant double play was made in the first half of the eighth inning by Chacon to Gans to Gonzales. In the second half of this inning the Breakers justified their nage, by breaking up the game and making five runs. Gonzales hit to left for two bases, Cockrell, next up, hit a safe to center and Gonzales, brought in the first run, Gans then up hit a fast one to first, Leroy missing the ball and Cockrell taking third. Chacon's short fly to center scored Cockrell for the second run and tieing the score. "Rube" then changed hatteries, sending in Whitworth and Petway, but it made no difference to the Breakers boys as Hall, next up, caught a fast one for three bases, Gans and Chacon coming home. Santon next drove a fly out but Hill, losing it, Hall brought home the fifth run. Wickware pitched a very good game but could not stop the Breakers when once they started. Batteries Breakers—Pardren, Cockrell and Wiley, Poinciana—Wickware and Dixon, Whitworth and Pitnay. The fourth game of the series was played off today, which was won by the Poincaria with a score of 6-2 and the series 2-2. Whitworth, pitching for "Rube" Foster's nine, was at his best and the Breakers could not connect with his curves. He was also well supported by the field. In the first inning Hall of the Breakers got a three-base hit, bringing in Wiley with the first run. Duncan of the Poincaria then evened up things by hitting a two-bagger, scoring Hill. In the third inning Hill repeated and getting the second run. In the sixth, with two out, Francis hit to center, then Grant got a two-base hit to right, Francis going to third.

HAMPTON, 22: HOWARD, 12. Hampton's basketball quintet demonstrated its superiority over Howard's five on February 15, when they met for the second game of the season in the Armstrong Manual Training School Gymnasium, Washington, D.C. The closeness of the first game, the presence of the loyal and enthusiastic Howard student body, and the playing of the game on a strange court, all seemed advantages for the Howard boys. The Hampton team, in its victorious stride and with the championship in sight, entered the second game, however, undaunted and won a dash that electrified the spectators Hampton took the lead in the beginning and was never in danger of being overtaken. The game was a hard-fought one throughout. So closely were the Howard men covered that they were unable to shoot a basket in the last half. The Hampton aggregation excelled in team work and the finer points of the game. Although the game was played before a Howard house, the visitors were accorded every courtesy and were applauded when sensational plays were made.

These brothers have held their anniversaries annually for the past 22 years, and on MARCH 21st, of this year they will celebrate at PALACE CASINO, 135th Street and Madison Avenue.

Music will be under the direction of Prof. Pastor Penalver. They, the brothers being well known and popular among fraternal organizations many of these have planned to present large representations on that evening. The slogan, of the affair is—"Hail Hail!!

ANN ARBOR, MICH.-Under the leadership of the Rev. John B Pharr, despite the intense cold weather, the work of the Second Baptist Church is in a prosperous condition. Pastor Pharr is leading his people forward on an aggressive work. During the period of bitter cold when the churches in this section were opened only six hours a week and then nine hours, cottage prayer meetings were held in different parts of the city which were far-reaching in their influence. The church has purchased the Bubble property, at the suggestion of the pastor. Since it, is so hard for our people to rent a house in an desirable section, the church will rent this house. Pastor Pharr is delivering an interesting series of sermons on the parables. In spite of the heavy snow and the bitter cold winds, services were well attended Sunday morning and evening. Pastor Pharr spoke in the morning on "The Real Battle of Life," and in the evening on "The Parable of the Lost Sheep." The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. held interesting sessions.
