Trotter of this city, sent a telegram to Senator Lodge, Sunday, asking for a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The league desires to present its views in support of an agreement to the League of Nations covenant guaranteeing full protection of life and full equality of rights to all Negro citizens of the allied and associated nations. GATHERING DATA ON THE WASHINGTON RIOT (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) WASHINGTON, D. C.-To the end that the true story of the causes that led up to the recent "race riot" in Washington and the results that have grown out of it may be told to Congress, when the facts are called for in connection with the approaching investigation, a group of influential citizens have organized a "Central Advisory Council," and its meeting each Monday evening at the Y. M. C. A. are largely attended. In support of the contention that the Negro cannot be blamed for the disgraceful incidents and city-wide dangers in which he was an unwilling participant, acting only in self-defense, after it had been plainly demonstrated that the police department was unable to afford proper protection to the colored people from the aggressions of the white. This organization is gathering data from every possible angle, and experts within a short time to be able to present to Congress a comprehensive report showing the conditions which have existed in this city for many months, with its great influx of Southerners, bringing with them their preconceived notions of the Negro's "place" in the arena of citizenship, and out of which grew the recent unwarranted assaults upon the Negro race of Washington as a whole. Plans and recommendations will also be submitted looking to the sympathetic cooperation of the broad-minded and law-abiding people of both races with a view of preventing further racial clashes in the future. The organization was largely effected through suggestions of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Howard University, whose joint address to the country with Judge Robert H. Terrell has been accepted as a national keynote. Prof. John R. Hawkins was elected as president of the Central Advisory Committee, with Dr. William H. Wilson as secretary. Prof. Carter G. Woodson was named as chairman of the Committee on Research; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, chairman of the Committee on Publicity, and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, chairman on Ways and Means. On each of the committees men and women of the broadest public spirit and of pronounced racial loyalty have accepted service and are contributing largely of their time and means to this very helpful cause.

THE FEDERAL MILITARY CENTRE OF THE UNITED STATES. MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT ANDERSON RAISES RACE QUESTION favorable results for our people. Together with Mrs. Helen M. Curtis, who was the first colored woman to go abroad early in the war, they were at Camp Romagne and gave much encouragement to the colored soldiers who put over the biggest job in France, the burying of the 26,000 American soldiers slain in the Argonne Forest and around Verdun. Mrs. Talbert was indeed fortunate to be associated with Mrs. Curtis, who acted as interpreter for her upon several occasions. Through Monsieur Blaise Diagne, member of the French Senate, a conference was arranged with Madame Jules Siegfried, president of the National Council of French Women, whose husband is president of the Senate. These ladies, were received by her at her palatial home on Boulevard St. Germain, where the status and hope of the colored woman in America was discussed at great length. Mrs. Talbert also, had letters of introduction from Mrs. Philip North Moore, president of the National Council of Women in America. These ladies were also entertained by President-elect and Mrs. C. M. B. King of Liberia at their beautiful apartments, Hotel Scribe, upon the Grande Boulevard. Although all leaves for women had been withdrawn at the Paris office, special permission was granted Mrs. Talbert and Mrs. Curtis to go to Chambery and Aix-Les-Bains. Due to the splendid conduct of the colored soldiers at Chambery, Mrs. Talbert was received with open arms (Continued on Second Page). Copyright Western Newspaper Union. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) LONDON.-In the House of Commons recently the Hon. Walter E. Guinness, Unionist member for Suffolk, asked Andrew Bonar Law, the Government leader, to give the day's discussion over to the present position of the black races, but his request was refused. The questioner responded by asking whether it would not be a graceful act of reciprocity to place at the disposal of the United States the benefit of British experience in governing Negroes in return for the discussion of Irish affairs in the United States Senate. Captain William Wedgewood Benn, Liberal member, for Leith, asked Mr. Bonar Law to do his best to prevent efforts to sow dissension between America and Great Britain by alleged human questions.

Anderson Farmer Collector of Internal Revenue (Special to The New York And Washington, D. C.—In reply to the warning that the United States will adopt a radical change of policy toward Mexico, unless the murder of American citizens and disregard of American rights ceases, President Carrman made a reply which concluded as follows: "In view of these facts the manse embraced in your note has surprised the Mexican Government, all the more so since it seems strange that it should be exacted that even in depopulated regions human life should be protected in a more perfect manner than in the most populous cities of the most cultured countries where bloody crimes often occur without the respective Governments thereby becoming the object of severe observations."

Y.-Chas Van Bergen was shot in the 11th Monday morning while standing in the door of his home Hamilton street. by a white man Mr. Van Bergen is in the Homeopathic Hospital. "The newspaper accounts I have read say that the account was made by three men, but this is incorrect, as there were at least six and more likely eight. In addition to Judge Pickle and the unsettle, Hamby, there was an automobile with about the toughest looking set of men I had seen in a long while, and my travels have taken me into all sorts of places since I began work of this character." UNITED ORDER OF ST. LUKE DEDICATES NEW BUILDING (Special to The New York Am) RICHMOND, VA.—The fifty-second victory convention of the R. W. Grand Council, I. O. of St. Luke, was held in the new beautiful St. Luke office building at 900-2-4 St. James street, beginning Monday, Aug. 18.

TO OBSERVE ARMISTICE DAY IN BROOKLYN The Armistice Day Celebration Committee met on August 12 at the headquarters of the 2nd Battalion, N. G. N. Y., to arrange for a suitable celebration in honor of the race men, in the Borough of Brooklyn who participated in the recent world war. With the exception of the 369th Infantry, I. S. A., and one battalion of the 367th Infantry, these men came home unheralded, and were not accorded a fitting reception, commensurate with the deeds of valor they accomplished. Armistice Day, November 11, is to be celebrated in every town and hamlet in the world, and it is with the idea of arranging a suitable celebration in honor of the veterans of Brooklyn that the citizens of the borough are now forming the Armistice Day Celebration Committee. A temporary organization was formed with Major Frank R. Chistolm, 15th Regiment, 2nd "Battalion, acting chairman, presiding. It was agreed that on September 16th, at the headquarters of the 2nd Battalion; Harrison avenue and Bartlett street; Brooklyn, would be held a meeting composed of the fraternal, benevolent and civic organizations of Brooklyn, along with the chapter. All public spirited citizens are invited to attend and lend their aid. Shillady Beaten Up By Judge and Constable While on Mission to Austin The following Associated Press report was given out from Austin, Texas, under date of August 22, describing the beating up of the white secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: MODERN Y.W.C.A.BUILDING TO BE ERECTED IN WASHINGTON Plans have been completed for the erection of a large and modern Y. W. C. A. building in Washington, D. C., by the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association, which will be used for the work of the Phyllis Wheatley House. Recognizing the crying need of such a structure for colored women and girls in the nation's capital, an effort will be made to put the plans of the National Board in concrete form as soon as possible. "John R. Shillady of New York, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of 'Colorado' People, was severely beaten in front of his hotel here today and ordered to catch the first train out of town. The beating was administered by several men following a meeting held with Negroes by Shillady. He agreed to leave town at once.Austin, Texas, August 22." Other news dispatches gave further details of the assault, as follows: County Judge the Aggressor. David J. Pickle of Travis, County Judge, asserted that Shillady had been "inciting Negroes against the whites" and had been warned previously to leave Austin. Judge Pickle said the attack on Shillady was made by himself, Constable Charles Hamby and Allen Pierce, none of whom, he said, would, shirk responsibility in the matter. He emphasized the fact that he and his companions were acting unofficially, however. Shillady was returning from a meeting with Negroes, Judge Pickle said in describing the attack. "I told him," the Judge said, "that his actions were inciting the Negroes against the whites and would cause trouble, and warned him to leave town. I told him our Negroes would cause no trouble if left alone. Then I whipped him and ordered him to leave because I thought it was for the best interests of Austin and the state." Mr. Shillady's Statement Waco, Tex., Aug. 22.—With a wide dark circle around his right eye and cuts and other bruises on his face, John R. Shillady, who was attacked by a crowd in Austin today, passed through here late today en route to St. Louis. He said eight or ten men attacked him, but so far as he knew they used only their fists. Shillady said his visit to Texas was in the interest of the association. He declared the association did not have social equality between whites and Negroes for its object, as reported from Austin, but was concerned with questions of policy and special efforts to prevent lynchings. He added that he had intended to confer with Gov. W. P. Hobby and Attorney-General C. M. Correton at the State Capitol in Austin. The Governor was out of the city and he conferred with one of the assistants in the Attorney-General's office. While the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has not been chartered in Texas, there are several branches of the organization in the State, he said, and his visit had to do with securing a charter. Shillady said he did not plan to make any further stops in Texas. He said he was not prepared to state what action his association would take as a result of the attack. Object of Trip to Texas The following particulars concerning Mr. Shillady's trip to Texas were given out at the Association Headquarters in New York: On August II, the Secretary received a letter from the President of the Austin, Texas, branch announcing that a citation had been served on him to appear at 2 p.m. August 9 at the Court of the Justice of the Peace, bringing all books, papers, correspondence, etc., belonging or pertaining to the National Association.

Bowles in making public the intentions of the Young Women's Christian Association to provide Washington with an up-to-date structure, gives the following additional facts: That the proposed building will contain a large social and reception room on the ground floor, also a small general office, with a private office to the right of it, while on the left of the entrance door will be three club rooms, two small and one large, which can be used separately when folding doors are closed or thrown together for one big function. Finding the entrance door on the rear will be the entrance to the gymnasium with spacious assembly room, and unfolding it will be the physical director's office. There will be two or three floors of bedroom, probably taking about done by the President of the Austin Branch, who asked the National Secretary to advise him regarding the form of incorporation of the National Association as the Texas people raised the issue that it was not chartered in the State of Texas. Mr. Shillady replied advising the Austin District National Association which, but a membership incorporated in 1911 under the State of New York civic and educational organizations. Believing that his presence in Texas (Continued on Second Page) REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS GROW IN NEW ORLEANS NEW ORLEANS, La.,—Henry E. Braden, Sr., recently purchased the property in which he has been successfully carrying on the business of the Astoria Hotel, pool room and restaurant for the past twelve years in South Rampart street, a location in the very business centre of New Orleans, for the sum of $30,000. This sum is the largest investment in a business proposition by an individual colored man in many years. A few days after the hotel transaction, Mr. Braden bought a property on which he had the option in Third street for $1,350. The place in which he and his family live in Delacaille street is worth $5,000, and it is his own. Not far from the Astoria Hotel up South Rampart street is a place bought by W. V. Thornton, this year for $9,000. Mr. Thornton is in the restaurant business. Among other investments by colored men since 1919 was inherited in can be recalled that of Druggiest LaBranche in North Claiborne street, who bought a place for $9,000; that of Louis Duttrellie Fouche in North Roman street for $8,000; that of Victor P. Thomas in Peniston street for $3,800. Each of these purchases has been, or will be, increased in value by improvements by the owners. Louis D. Fouche, who bought the Roman street property, died from lockjaw about a month or so after making the purchase, leaving a wife with a first-born child four months old in the new home.

LATIN-AMERICAN PROTEST A few farsighted Americans have not failed to note the distrust and dislike of the United States exhibited by the Republics to the South and have frankly attributed these sentiments to the proper cause, the prevalence of unjust discrimination against the darker races in this country. Further confirmation of this attitude of Latin-America is to be gleaned from the following news dispatch, which appeared in the Washington Herald: Buenos Aires, Aug. 18—President Carranza's reference to the raid on the United States at schooled in Brazil today, Writing in the Correjo Damaha, Antonio Torres declared. "The Negro in the United States lives under a regime worse than during the times of Lincoln, when his life was saved as valuable property. Today the Negro is like the Pole and the Jew of Russia during the reign of the Czar, without political guarantees on a social horizon. His only reward for loyalty to his country is lynching on a trivial pretext. "A Negro born in the United States speaks the same language as President Wilson, but the savage whites do not hear his cries of agony. People who act in that manner have no right to speak to the world in the name of civilization." It is well that the people of the United States should realize the impression made in other countries by the toleration of oppression and injustice toward the Negroes at home. The judgment that "people who act in that manner have no right to speak to the world in the name of civilization" may sound caustic, but who shall say that the facts do not warrant it? GIVING A SQUARE DEAL If unwise counsel continues to prevail, there bids fair to arise a serious condition in the political affairs of Harlem, which will jeopardize the growing influence of the Negro voters of that section and forfeit the just recognition that their numbers deserve. This condition has grown out of the naming of candidates for alderman and assemblyman. At a number of joint meetings held by the Republican voters of both races, it was agreed that the aldermanic nomination should be given to a colored man and the nomination for assemblyman to a woman of the other race. This agreement was carried out by the designation of Dr. Charles H. Roberts for the aldermanic nomination in the Twenty-seventh Aldermanic district and Miss Margaret Smith for assemblyman, in the Nineteenth Assembly district. Since this equitable working agreement was arrived at, with a total obliteration of any color line, some of the colored voters, under the leadership of former Assemblyman Edward A. Johnson, have entered into a movement to prevent the nomination for Assembly from going to Miss Smith. This is being done in the face of the fact that Mr. Johnson was a member of the conferences that agreed upon the designation of the two candidates named, and failed to enter any protest against the decision at such meetings. This movement to defeat Miss Smith for the nomination, in spite of the previous agreement, snuck of bad faith and will prove to be a grievous political error, if permitted in. Mr. Johnson owes the term he served in the Assembly to the united political support of the white and black voters of the district. His fight against Miss Smith is a false movement. Politics is a game of give and take. The colored voters of the district in conference choose to take the aldermineic nomination. They must in all fairness now give the nomination for Assembly to Miss Smith, as agreed. Any other course would be political suicide. You cannot expect a square deal unless you give a square deal. MR. BLANTON'S OBJECTION The Nolan Minimum Wage Bill, which passed the House of Representatives in the Sixty-fifth Congress with virtually no opposition, came before that body again at this session. It provides for government employees a minimum wage of $3 per day, $90 per month or $1,080, if employed by the year. Mr. Blanton, a statesman from Texas, announced his opposition to the bill for the reason that under its provisions the Negro porters employed in the departments will draw "not $90 a month, but $110 a month for doing nothing, because all will get the $240 bonus." His violent objection to the Negro employees participating in the benefits of this bill culminated in the following diatribe: "It is not common sense to give these useless, idle Negro porters, charwomen, and messengers in the various departments of the Government $110 a month for doing absolutely nothing of value to anybody, and you know it as well as I do. You send one of your good women from one of your districts down to one of these departments and these porters are a hindrance to them. It takes 15 minutes to get past one of them into merely the outer chamber, so great is their importance at the outer door, and they are a hindrance to the transaction of the government business." Evidently the Texas representative was suffering from a sad attack of Negrophobia during his remarks, which were no doubt largely intended for home consumption. However, Mr. Andrews of Nebraska defended the employees from the charges of idleness, and set forth the fact that they are called to the office an hour in advance of the opening and detained for a considerable time after the office is closed. Mr. Smith of Michigan completely demolished Mr. Blanton's pretensions as an economist by referring to a bill introduced by him, dated May 19, 1919," to pay to each Confederate soldier and to the widow of each Confederate soldier $1,000 and the further sum of $25 a month during their natural lives." Thousands for Confederates who tried to destroy the Union, but no increase of pay for hard working Negro porters and messengers' CANDIDATES' PROMISES Individuals seeking public office through the popular vote are prone to make promises as to the good that is bound to follow if they attain the office which they desire. It is all very well for a candidate to outline the policy which he will endeavor to pursue, if elected to a certain position, but it is ridiculous to promise to perform things, which are entirely beyond his powers, with the best disposition in the world to attempt the impossible. For instance, when a candidate for the ancient and honorable post of alderman promises to see that colored men are appointed as policemen and firemen, with one as of the race to rank of police captain, he is merely trying to fool the people whom he is addressing. Any person of average intelligence knows that in a great city like New York, every applicant for the police force or the fire department has to pass a civil service examination to test his mental and physical fitness to THE I. W. W. BOGY IN CONGRESS. For a good many months, been trying to explain the need to Bolshevik or Socialist of United States entered the war noticed; it was then attribut course, with German propagation other cause. There are two reasons for in utter blindness and the other in the lack of according to which are common to human founded in an effort to couple some movement which is so killed in the effort to destroy it. We think that the main be some people who fail to restimuli in the same manner realize, that he does of his liberty and justice, these people not need to know psychology history to understand the absurd. But there are a great man know that if this new spirit of movement against which a been built, they will have the other virtues in their efforts to In the early days of the nation was pro-Germanism; and in the name of anti-pro-German multitude. The writer, of course could not prevent the thought that if he was forced to do so he could possibly offer would manism. Pro-Germanism did not lastunity to crush and kill the new now being made to couple it popular. Through the press to visi" and the initials "I. W. W. that the American people should not stop to make any inquiry shudder. These terms have abe American that the words "Ku years ago. The crafty ones know that the Negro up with these terms with tremendous effect. So the Carolina has brought the matter substantiation of his statements and opinions from Negro has given Congress some material it would never have received man from the Palmetto State. The strange thing about the "radical" statements and opinion resentative read on the floor of much less were they seditious for protection of life and proper equal opportunity to vote. As a or unexpressed wish for the overness from existing government; demand for fuller oneness with things should a member of Citizen object. Perhaps the star alarming to the statesman from declaring that if neither the cityments would protect the Negro it himself. But his alarm was to help secure protection for at least in South Carolina. How many Negroes in theselves to find out something about the I. W. W. we do not know number is comparatively small, race could lay no claim to intelligent mass of the race know life Socialism; they do not know what theory of government or is the they do not know what the imi yet these same masses are discjustly treated, and they are deter like justice for themselves and the And it is in these masses, the new spirit of the Negro breathes. IN T. The attack on John R. Sh Association for the Advancement in Austin, Texas, is, so far as we kind that has happened since Reac a number of prominent white men and even to death because of the slavery. And during Reconstruction meet the requirements of the position. good many months some people in the United States to explain the new spirit of the Negro by the folk or Socialist or I. W. W., propaganda states entered the war the birth of this new era was then attributed to pro-German propaganda in German propaganda dead it had to be because. There are two reasons for this course of action; one is madness and the other in abhor craftiness. One of according to the Negro the traits and common to human nature everywhere; and another effort to couple up the new spirit of the movement which is so unpopular that it can be an effort to destroy the movement. Think that the main reason is in craft. For which people who fail to realize that the Negro reads the same manner as other human beings, he does of his own volition aspire to justice, these people must be very few. So know psychology, he needs to know or understand the absurdity of such an opinion. We are a great many people who are crafty, this new spirit of the Negro can be hitched against which a great national prejudice is they will have the sanction of patriotism in their efforts to crush and kill it. Early days of the war, the red rag in the Negro-Germanism; anything under the sun cost of anti-pro-Germanism and receive the applause. The writer, of course, has never killed and prevent the thought occurring to him during his forced to do such a distasteful job the possibility offer would be to accuse his victimism did not last long enough to afford him and kill the new spirit of the Negro; so made to couple it with what is, if anything through the press the words "Socialism" are the initials "I. W. W." have been given such American people shudder when they hear them make any inquiry into their meanings, these terms have about the same effect upon the words "Ku Klux" had on a colored crowd. Any ones know that if they can hitch the net with these terms, they have a club that the obvious effect. So the Honorable Mr. Byrne brought the matter up on the floor of Court of his statements he read various "traditions from Negro publications. Well, at agress some material for thought, material never have received had it not been for Palmetto State. Large thing about the matter is that the movements and opinions which the South Carolina had on the floor of the House were not radical they seditious. Their general tenor was of life and property, an equal chance to wield unity to vote. As for sedition, there was no wish for the overthrow of government, or settling government; there was, on the other hand oneness with government. To none a member of Congress, or any other good man. Perhaps the statements which seemed to the statesman from South Carolina were neither the city, county, state or Federal protect the Negro's life against mobs, he that his alarm was uncalled for; all he need secure protection for the Negro's life against South Carolina. Any Negroes in the United States are interested about something about the principles of Socialism. We do not know. We do know, however, comparatively small. Of course, there are no claim to intelligence if there were not, the race know little or nothing of the prize, do not know whether "Rolshevik" applies, government or is the name of a new European know what the initials, "I. W. W." stand for, masses are discontented, they know they and they are determined to secure something themselves and their children. In these masses, these discontented masses, the Negro breathes and lives. For a good many months some people in the United States have been trying to explain the new spirit of the Negro by attributing it to Bolshevik or Socialist or I. W. W. propaganda. When the United States entered the war the birth of this new spirit was noticed; it was then attributed to pro-German propaganda. Of course, with German propaganda dead it had to be attributed to some other cause. There are two reasons for this course of action; one is founded in utter blindness and the other in sheer craftiness. One is founded in the lack of according to the Negro the traits and aspirations which are common to human nature everywhere; and the other is founded in an effort to couple up the new spirit of the Negro with some movement which is so unpopular that it can be crushed and killed in the effort to destroy the movement. We think that the main reason is in craft. For while there may be some people who fail to realize that the Negro reacts to certain stimuli in the same manner as other human beings, who fail to realize, that he does of his own volition aspire to freedom and liberty and justice, these people must be very few. A man does not need to know psychology, he needs to know only a little history to understand the absurdity of such an opinion. But there are a great many people who are crafty enough to know that if this new spirit of the Negro can be hitched up to some movement against which a great national prejudice has already been built, they will have the sanction of patriotism and all the other virtues in their efforts to crush and kill it. In the early days of the war, the red rag in the face of the nation was pro-Germanism; anything under-the sun could be done in the name of anti-pro-Germanism and receive the approval of the multitude. The writer, of course, has never killed anybody; but he could not prevent the thought occurring to him during that period that if he was forced to do such a distasteful job the best defense he could possibly offer would be to accuse his victim of pro-Germanism. Pro-Germanism did not last long enough to afford full opportunity to crush and kill the new spirit of the Negro; so the effort is now being made to couple it with what in, if anything, more unpopular. Through the press the words "Socialism" and "Bolshevism" and the initials "I. W. W." have been given such meanings that the American people shudder when they hear them. They do not stop to make any inquiry into their meanings, they simply shudder. These terms have about the same effect upon the average American that the words "Ku, Klux" had on a colored child fifty years ago. The crafty ones know that if they can hitch the new spirit of the Negro up with these terms, they have a club that they can use with tremendous effect. So the Honorable Mr. Byrnes of South Carolina has brought the matter up on the floor of Congress. In substantiation of his statements he read various "radical" statements and opinions from Negro publications. Well, at any rate, he has given Congress some material for thought, material which perhaps it would never have received had it not been for the gentleman from the Palmetto State." The strange thing about the matter is that the most of these "radical" statements and opinions which the South Carolina Representative read on the floor of the House were not radical at all; much less were they seditious. Their general tenor was a demand for protection of life and property, an equal chance to work and an equal opportunity to vote. As for sedition, there was no expressed or unexpressed wish for the overthrow of government, or separateness from existing government; there was, on the other hand, the demand for fuller oneness with government. To none of these things should a member of Congress or any other good American citizen object. Perhaps the statements which seemed particularly alarming to the statesman from South Carolina were the ones declaring that if neither the city, county, state or Federal governments would protect the Negro's life against mobs, he would do it himself. But his alarm was uncalled for; all he needed to do was to help secure protection for the Negro's life against mobs, at least in South Carolina. How many Negroes in the United States are interesting themselves to find out something about the principles of Socialism and of the I. W. W. we do not know. We do know, however, that the number is comparatively small. Of course, there are some; the race could lay no claim to intelligence if there were not. But the great mass of the race know little or nothing of the principles of Socialism; they do not know whether "Bolshevik" applies to a new theory of government or is the name of a new European country; they do not know what the, initials, "I. W. W." stand for; and yet these same masses are discontented, they know they are unjustly treated, and they are determined to secure something nearer like justice for themselves and their children. And it is in these masses, these discontented masses, that the new spirit of the Negro breathes and lives. on John R. Shillady, Secretary of the the Advancement of Colored People, a few as, is, so far as we know, the first instan- appened since Reconstruction. Before the C ominent white men were subjected to mob ath because of the stand which they go during Reconstruction there is no doubt tha The attack on John R. Shillady, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a few days ago in Austin, Texas, is, so far as we know, the first instance of the kind that has happened since Reconstruction. Before the Civil War a number of prominent white men were subjected to mob violence and even to death because of the stand which they took against slavery. And during Reconstruction there is no doubt that a great Only after successfully passing this double ordeal can his name be certified to the head of the department for appointment. Then comes the exercise of the discretion vested in the commissioner as to the appointment of the individual certified. Certain heads of these departments have exercised the power to appoint with IN TEXAS. a broad spirit of lairness and have given colored applicants the same treatment accorded those of other races. But no alderman can promise to make such an appointment unless he is trying to fool the people to whom such promise is made. Intelligent voters should beware of candidates for public office who promise so much and who can deliver so little. many of the Northern white men and women who went South were trusted rough on account of sentiments expressed in favor of fair play and justice for the Negro. But it had seemed that the time had long passed when a white person, especially one of prominence, would suffer anything more than bitter criticism or stracism on account of any action or utterance in behalf of the Negro in the South. It is evident from the Austin incident, however, that we have a return of the spirit of the days of the Ku Klux; except that it is more daring. In the days of the Ku Klux the enwards went about under the cover of darkness, and even then they masked their faces. But Shillady was mobbed in broad daylight, about ten-thirty in the morning, in front of the leading hotel of the capital city of Texas. The men who participated in the mobbing were not masked nor were they unknown. The leaders were the County Judge and a constable of his court. And not only were county officials active participants in this disgraceful affair, but the governor of the state also took a hand later. When he was asked by the organization whose officer had been assaulted what was being done to punish the offenders, he replied that Shillady was the only offender and he was adequately published before the inquiry arrived. What democracy, what respect for law and order, what common decency can be left in Texas when officials of the state, from the governor on down, have no regard for the one or the other? The charge made against Mr. Shillady was that he was in Austin for, the purpose of inciting the colored people to riot. This charge is too absurd for consideration. But even so, he could have been arrested and tried on it. Mr. Shillady's business in Austin was absolutely legitimate. He went as the chief executive officer of a great organization which has more than 7,000 members in Texas. The members of the local branches are among the most intelligent and law abiding citizens of the State. These facts alone should have entitled Mr. Shillady to courtesy. Furthermore, as proof of the legitimacy of his errand, he had telegraphed both the Governor and the Attorney General of Texas that he was coming and asked for an appointment with them. These are not the actions of a man going to conspire with people to riot. But above all, regardless of his connection with a great organization, Mr. Shillady was an American citizen and as such, he was entitled to the protection of the laws of the State of Texas. Of course, the white people of Austin and every other Southern community are trembling in their shoes over the fear of Negro uprisings. And why shouldn't they tremble? God knows, if I were a Southern white man with anything resembling a conscience I would not be able to sleep at night, knowing the injustice which I and my race had done the Negro. But the white people of Austin and other Southern communities are not going to be able to still those fears by beating up either white men or black men who are taking a stand for fair play and justice. If anything, such actions will only hasten the very thing of which they fear. The official thugs of Austin not only broke the law, disgraced their offices and committed a crime when they mobbed Mr. Shillady, they did what the whole South has been doing all along in its dealing with the Negro, they committed a huge blunder. Their action has not taken the heart out of the colored people, it has only strengthened their determination. Their action has not lessened Mr. Shillady's influence, it has only magnified it ten thousand fold. A SERIOUS PERIL. disheartening element in art that it was brought to church going to a Tex. C.

The only really disheartening element in the Austin affair is contained in the report that it was brought about by the minister of a prominent colored church going to a Texas Ranger and telling him that the N. A. A. C. P. was banding the colored people together in Texas for the purpose of inciting them to riot and for the purpose of gaining "social equality". When The Age is able to verify this report it is going to publish this man's name to the world. The whole race should know him and his deed, and should settle on a fixed policy for dealing with him and his kind. The most serious peril to the race in the South to-day is in these apostates, these Judas Iscariots. We have always had them, and they have always been capable of doing some damage; but to-day, on account of the psychic state of the white South, on account of its panic stricken condition, they are an absolute menace. Any orderly and legitimate meeting of protest held by colored people may be reported by one of these cowardly knaves to the white people as a meeting to incite to riot, and the result might be a massacre of innocents. The race should seek these fellows out and mark them; and not only mark them but deal with them. And how shall they be dealt with? Among some peoples they would be consigned to the Black Hand; but we are not a Black Hand people. What we should do is to inflict upon them the strictest, the severest, the most complete ostracism possible. We should cut them off, throw them out, and make them feel and realize that they are men without a race. Every organization in the country that is striving for justice for the Negro is threatened by this danger; and not even our fraternal organizations and churches are free from it. It is necessary then that we take immediate steps to protect the race from the skulking enemies within. COMMENT FROM CANADA. Moneton (N. B.) Daily Times The Negro papers of the United States are speaking plainly of the consequences which may result from the recent race riots. The Negro as a race might ask for the right to self-determination, in the states in which he is a majority, as under President Wilson's famous "Fourteen Points." But apparently he has no desire to form a separate republic, though he talks rather, ominously of fighting for his rights, or against alleged wrongs committed upon him by his white neighbors. The New York Ao. one of the most important Negro papers in the neighboring republic, comments as follows, on the Washington outskirts: "Violence in the capital of the United States and within the shadow of the Capitol, the topical result of democratic and indecent abominations which have become unattainable to colored Americans. Since the Wilson regime Washington has been filled with white paint hunters from the South, who are lynchers at heart and who believe that the colored man has no rights which a white man is bound to respect. Hounded, beaten, and killed by soldiers and sailors search for men. ing element in the Austin affair it was brought about by the minister going to a Texas Ranger and telling banding the colored people together, giving them to riot and for the purpose.

And how shall they be dealt by would be consigned to the Black land people. What we should do not, the severest, the most complete out them off, throw them out, and they are men without a race. country that is striving for justice this danger; and not even ourhes are free from it. It is necessite steps to protect the race from tect the law, and with the police in most instances indifferent to their appeals for protection, the colored people of Washington found it necessary to resort to the last resource—protect themselves. "Unless those at the head of the government take rigid measures to restore the respect for law and order, a Bolshievist soviet, or a committee of soldiers and sailors may yet rule from the Capitol. "The progress of the outbreaks at Washington, with the reported resistance on the part of the Negroes and resort to retaliation in kind, compelizes the national responsibility for the growth of this spirit of mob violence and contempt for law and order. It is fitting that this demonstration should occur at the capital of the nation, as it shows how far the evil has spread under national toleration, if not encouragement. It will need the utmost exercise of the national power to provoke over the spirit of anarchy and lawlessness that is threatening the overthrow of the orderly administration of the law. "The warning is no alain that it cannot be overlooked. Will the nation hold it?" WHY WERE THESE IGNORED IN PARADE? By Ronna R. Cooley. At this time when there was never a 'greater need for good feeling between the races, and when there was never so fine an opportunity to show the Negroes that their service in the World War is not to be overlooked nor forgotten, how has it happened, that the United States was represented only by white men in the great Victory Parade in Paris, on July 14th? Like a soldier of the 200,000 Negroes were sent from the country to bear their share of hardships and sacrifices in France? Is it not a fact that several thousand Negroes gave their lives and are not the lives of the Negroes America to be counted in the sum total of America's share in bringing Peace to the world? "It is well to see the other man's point of view, and at this crisis it would be better for Whites and Negroes if each race knew the other better. I will quote from a letter just received from a Negro Y. M. C. A. worker; who has had an unusually wide experience with the Negro troops, both in the camps in the United States and in France. He represents thousands of his race (J. E. Blanton. of Penn School, St. Helena Island, South Carolina): "I saw the great Victory Parade, on July 14, and I want to tell you—to stand in line and see some 25,000 men horses and equipage go by is a wonderful experience. I was within 20 feet of General Pershing, Marshals Joffre, Foch, Petain and Sir Douglas Haig as they came down Champ Elysse. We in America do not know how to yell! We need lessons, and had you been in the crowd of 5,000,000 Frenchmen and 1,000,000 other people on July 14 for six hours, as I was, you too would say that we really need lessons. England, France, Belgium, the United States, Serbia, Greece, Italy, Chim, Japan, Portugal and one or two other nations had their representatives in line. England had Canadians, Australians, Scottish, Londoners, Indians and Africans in line. France—had Frenchmen, Soudanes, Senegal, Madagascans, Moroccan, and every other race that fought under her flag in line. Every nation had all the races that fought in the war, except the United States. Although there were over a thousand Negro troops here outside of Paris, the United States was represented only by White Men. The French people were very much amazed and put out for they have not forgotten that three regiments of American Negroes were decorated for bravery by the church they spoke of. The French papers spoke of it, so I guess General Pershing felt as bad afterwards as I felt during the parade, that they did not have at least one lot of fifty men with Black faces in line under the Stars and Stripes. I had not long come from Romaigne where I looked on the graves of several thousand colored men from America—and there were also 300,000 of them over here. So you can see how we feel about it!" Can we put ourselves in their places? Could we write a letter 'so restrained and with so little bitterness? Must the Negro Race be ignored after the record made in this World War? Their country called for men, and they responded. The color of their skin was not questioned when they were asked to give their lives for the United States. Is it impossible to grant them a place in this country where loyal service as citizens is heeded from all our resident races? Why were they ignored in the Victory Parade in Paris, July 14, when all other races seemed to have had their place? LACK OF UNDERSTANDING. Portland, Oregon Advocate. It is quite noticeable when reading the editorials upon the recent race riots in the various newspapers and magazines that the editors invariably give as the main cause of the riots, the lack of understanding between the races. The Advocate has said all along that it would be well for all concerned if the most conservative thinking men and women in the white race and the most conservative thinking men and women in the colored race would meet from time to time to assess measures and conditions affecting the mass learn and understand the desire for other, and generally come to a better understanding. That is the reason that the Advocate believes in having as many white people as is possible to have to come out and hear our desires and amtold by prominent colored speakers when they come to our city. Let the white man know us and let us know him, and when both sides find out that they are very much the same after all there is not near so much chance for friction as there is now, after the old way—avoiding each other, segregating in everything. No community is immune from race friction where there are larger numbers of the two races, and the time to act is much earlier after. Let every city adopt the "safety first" method of finding out the grievances of both sides if there are any, and applying preventive methods. Many serious and greedy results can be avoided if the "safety first" methods are employed in the dealings of races with each other, as in other matters. THE TRUTH ABOUT CHICAGO. A gentleman of Chicago wrote a friend in this city as follows: "In it to guard what they did, I want to so that the colored men did some nice fighting, and if there is any glory in they got it. I think it stands about 50-50 as to the killing. There were no white policemen who worked in daytime, changed to plain clothes at night and went out to kill colored people. All five were killed at the same time. One of those walked a beat out the same situation as my son Ed." From this and many letters the truth about the Chicago race riot is beginning to leak out. The Associated Press has been against the colored people whenever possible and always in favor of the whites, possible or impossible. Kansas City Call.

Agents Wanted PLOUGH CHEMICAL CO., Middletown, MA (Special to The New York Times) AFLANTA, Ga.—One of the most beautiful weddings of the late summer's season was that of Miss Ethel Jemima Brown, the youngest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. E. Bowen, of Gammage Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., to Paul, Stephen Handy Dix, formerly of Pocomoke City, Md., but now executive secretary of the Y. M. C.A. of Louisville, Ky. The marriages took place August 6 in the spacious parlour of the house, which were artistically decorated with magnolia blossoms, crepe myrtle, pink roses and wisteria. The bridal arch was hanked with palm, ferns and palm leaves with lighted candelabras on either side. The bridal sike, rooped off with white satin ribbons and held in place by course of the bride, the Misses Marie, Wentworth and Bustin Griett, led up the stairway, down which passed the brides and her attendants. Miss Hattie Cater, who played the wedding march, was accompanied by Prof. Kemper Harreld, the noted violinist, Mrs. Grace Byrd Lucas, of Lima, Ohio, sang effectively, "Oh, Framine Me," after which Miss Silph Arnold, attired in pink satin and tulle, lighted the candles on the bridal altar. The Rev. Dr. Lerouho H. King, of Central Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, performed the ceremony. To the stunners of Mendelssohn's Wedding March the bridal procession entered, led by Dr. King. Then came the groom, accompanied by his best man, Chaplain J. W. E. Brown, Jr., after which followed the bride's attendants. Mrs. R. B. Maclin, of Birmingham, Ala., the matron of honor, wore a delicate orchid gownette and orange blouse. The maid of honor, Miss Irene T. Brown, sister of the bride, wore a beautiful combination of mourn yellow chiffon and lace, which had been a part of her mother's wedding dress. Miss Edith Croghan looked charming in her evening gown of pink tulle and metallic cloth. Then came Miss Louise Madella of Washington, D. C., in a most attractive gown of gold and gold lace; Miss Helen Price, in blue tulle and metallic cloth; Miss Margaret L. Davis, of Cincinnati, in silver taffeta and green tulle. The bridesmaids carried lighted candles in silver holders tied with pink roses and tulle to match the dresses. They followed little Miss Josephine Harrelad, carrying a basket of pink roses and a magnolia blossom which held the bridal ring. The bride, on the arm of her father, came next, wearing a court-trained gown of pussy willow satin, silver lace and pearls, carrying white roses and fern, from her orange blossom wreath fell in soil and graceful folds an enquisite veil of lace which had been worn by her great-great-grandmother nearly two hundred years ago. During the ceremony Miss Hattie Cater and Prof. Harreld played strains of Warner's Lobengrin. After the cere- having the twenty births and given recruited the congratulations and well wishes of their many friends. The old office from the parts of the country and expanded the high regard in which the poor were held, Mrs. W. E. Purn, the wife of one of Admiral's most successful physicians, was in most doing congratulations of Mrs. J. W. K. Bowen as hostess. Among the out-of-dress guests were Mrs. Edmond Sweepsen of Admiral's W. C. and Mrs. W. P. Fulking, of Brooklyn, K. Y.; both aunts of the bride; Miss Linda Tucker of Sewanee. The happy couple entered into all the festivities of the evening and then departed amid a chorus of blessings and good wishes to enjoy two weeks of honeymoon in Washington, Philadelphia, Princess Anne, Md.; Newport, News, Va., and Richmond. After this tour Prof. Dix takes up his residence with his bride in Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Dix will be of great service in the moral and social reform work in Louisville, as she has served in many cities in various kinds of social work, having been a Y. W. C. A. secretary and a Hostess House secretary. HUNT-HARRIS WEDDING AND HOUSE PARTIES Fort VALLEY, GA—Jennie K. Harris, of Brooklyn, N.

After almost a quarter of an hour followed by a dance, was enjoyed during the guest morning the party moved to Sommer's Mill for a day of celebration, led by a dance on the ground to the host residence. At 3 A. M. on July 15 the girls were awakened by a coursed scent by the boys, to which they responded. Saturday morning brought many visitors for the christening dance at Sommer's Mill. The boys of the host regiment was beautifully decorated with silvery ribbons, forming an attractive background for the bridal party. Promptly at 6 o'clock, Handel's wedding march was played by Mrs. Rose Atkinson. Little Miss Nell Handel stopped the pathway with white paint for the bridal party. They followed the bride-and-girl, who in their dress and bright-colored organic dress, made a beautiful picture. Mrs. Adela Hunt, the maid of honour, was in rebellion-colored ensembles, which charmingly carried out the theme of the bride-and-girl dress. Each attendant carried flowers in the pale shades. Proceeding the bride came little Miss Elena Burge in white with pink ribbons, sitting room in the path of the ribbons. Here the music changed to Lohangrin, and the spectators were enthralled to see the beautiful bride, dressed in white crope de four combined with spaghetti head net, descending on the arm of her hand and carrying a shower bouquet of roses and orchids. Her veil crowned with orange blossoms floated over her court train. Meeting the bride at the alter were the groom, James E. Harnis, and the host Mr. G. N. Woodward. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Joseph A. Dahlstent, of Macon, Ga. Immediately after the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Harnis led an intricate march on the lawn, then into the house to the handsomely appointed bridal table, where a delightful repeat was served. The bride presented her hands with handmade diamond-shaped vanity cases matching their frocks. The man of the house party were given time. After many greetings and felicitations following the wedding, the bride changed to a traveling suit, field mongue with accessories to match. At midnight the party left for Griffin Ga, where they were to be the house party guests of Miss Osteck La Furteria Wilkina. During the three-day visit there they were delightfully entertained by Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Wilkins and Dr. and Mrs. K. C. Borden. Dr. and Mrs. Wilkins presented the bride and groom with a beautiful sterling silver loving cup engraved with their initials and the date of their marriage. The party arrived in Atlanta Wednesday morning. Mr. Hugh, Wimbish and Miss Virginia Wimbish entertained at, a midnight frostie Wednesday night, which was the initial appearance of the bridal party in Atlanta. Thursday morning Miss Thelma Whittaker entertained most elaborately at a breakfast for seventeen. The unique feature of this occasion was the place cards, which in rhyme told some funny incident concerning each guest during the house parties. From there the party motored to Stone Mountain, where C. E. Warner, host for the afternoon, served a sumptuous luncheon. Thursday night the party and numerous friends were charmingly entertained at a lawn party on the campus of Morehouse College by Miss Alys Lyons. As the bride, greener and bridesmaids arrived, Prof. Kemper Harreld played the wedding march, while the friends enjoyed the processional. Reaching the porch they assembled in a semicircle and sang their house party song, "Dear Heart." Friday morning was spent visiting. Late in the afternoon the party had a delicious supper at the home of Miss Ilia M. Burch. From there the party left for the residence of Miss Aeanian Bibb, where they were joined by other guests for an evening of cards and dancing. Saturday morning some of the party went sightseeing. At 5:30 that afternoon Miss Eunice Evelyn Hamilton entertained at whist, followed by dancing. Later in the evening the entire party adjourned to the Roof Garden, where, as the guests of Peter Estridge Williams, they enjoyed a farewell dance. This affair, which so happily coded the numerous gayeties of the party in Atlanta, lasted until midnight. The bride and groom left for Fort Valley for a few days' rest, and then went to Jacksonville, Fla., as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvanus H. Hart; to St. Augustine, Fla., as guests of Dr. and Mrs. Edgar Smith; to Savannah, Ga., as guests of Dr. and Mrs. Clarence Brent; then to Tuskegee as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Logan; thence to Amerikus and Albany, Ga., as guests of Dr. James Cheever and Miss Oziebel Hart. Further testimony of the love and esteem in which the bride and groom were held was shown in the large display of handsome and valuable presents which came in every mail and the number of telegrams of love and good wishes. The wedding, house parties and honeymoon of this happy couple will not soon be forgotten.

THE greatest tennis tournament ever held by colored people was brought to a successful conclusion last Saturday afternoon before an enthusiastic audience of nearly one thousand people. Every section of the United States was represented in the audience as well as among the competitors, and the winners can be truly called national in every sense of the word. California sent her best in Ballinger Kemp, ably seconded by E. Peter's Editor of the Colored Athlete. Washington sent her team of supermen, Holmes Smith, Wilkinson and Freeman, while Baltimore was well represented by Rockling, Rhetta and McCard. In addition to the above there were Dr. Costa of Waterbury, E. K. Jones of Flushing, F. Jones, T. Eccles and P. Richardson of New Rochelle; Terry of Montglair, Gordon and Strange of Philadelphia, and the many strong New Yorkers, such as Ramsey, Norbert and James Bain, Buchanan, Spooner, Norman, Hooks and many others. The island of Jamaica was well represented by Miss M. Rae and a double team, Campbell and Aris. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER Mabel Whitman & Co. are at Lewis, Hoboken, N. J. Dave and Lillian are at the Orpheum, Jackson, Mich. Miller and Lyle are at the Columbia, St. Louis. The ladies' events had among the prominent players Miss Rac of Jamaica, Miss Stowe of Baltimore, Mrs. Thornhill, Mrs. Burnett, Miss De Loach of New Jersey, added to the following New Yorkers, Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Madison, Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Conick, Miss Lewis and Miss Smith. The entry list was the largest ever received for any tournament conducted in New York, and the officials, especially the referee, Dr. Hoage, deserves great credit for handling, such an unusually large number and completing the work within the allotted time. They were: Men's singles, 105 entries; men's doubles, 46 teams; ladies' singles, 18; mixed doubles, 24 teams. The first day's play furnished the greatest surprise for spectators as well as players. That was the elimination of Kemp, the California champion, in the first round by Frank Jones of New Rochelle, 3-6, 10-8, 7-5. Jones was put out in the fourth round by N. Bain in straight sets. Most of the other matches resulted, with few exceptions, according to predictions, leaving Tally Holmes of Washington and Ralph Reckling of Baltimore to fight it out in the finals in men's singles. Holmes was the same obstacle to Reckling that he was to E. K. Jones and many others before Uncle Sam dratted him in the army. Cold, pitiless and merciless, he drove, volleyed and smashed his way to the championship that the queen requested, defending that Reckling could interpose. He was the same unbeatable Tally, and it will take switer strokes and faster footwork than has yet been displayed in Harlem to defeat this tennis wizard. Holmes defeated Reckling: 6-1, 6-2, 6-3. Men's Doubles.—Two strong teams left to fight for the title—Tally Holmes and Sylvester Smith of Washington, the undefeated team, and E. K. Jones of Flushing teamed up with Ballinger Kemp of California. This match attracted great attention owing to the appearance of Jones, a local man, on one of the teams. Jones' playing was the outstanding feature of this match, and deserves mention in addition to the steady machine-like work of the Washingtonians. In justice to Kemp, it must be stated that he became quite ill on Friday and had to go to bed, while several doctors worked over him, so that he could appear on the courts Saturday morning to play his semi-final match. He had to play in the final, so could play true to form. Jones and Kemp were able to win one set, but many were of the opinion, that had Kemp's work been equal to that of Jones, Holmes and Smith would have met their Waterloo. Score: Holmes and Smith vs. Kemp and Jones, 6-1, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3. Ladies' Singles.-The two strongest among the lady players. Miss M. Rae of Jamaica and Miss L. Slowe, of Baltimore, met in the finals. This was the feature match from the spectator's point of view, and aroused the greatest interest. Many differed as to the ultimate winner, and were not fully convinced until thg. last stroke was played. Miss Rae clearly and quickly demonstrated her superiority over Miss Slowe, and showed that she possessed quite a knowledge of the technique of the game, is absolute master of her strokes. She plays a stronger game than last year, and seems to be in a class by herself. Score: Miss Rae vs. Miss Slowe, 6-3, 6-2. Mixed Doubles--Last year's champions, J. Wilkinson of Washington and Miss L. Slowe of Baltimore, met a new combination in Mr. Kemp and Miss Rae. The latter team was conceded an even chance early in the week, but Kemp's sickness and the unfamiliarity with each other's abilities made them easy prey for the slashing, smashing Wilkinson, and the ever reliable Miss Slowe. In the second set, it looked as if the new combination had a chance, but "Wilkie" had one of his rare days, and just smothered the many returns, volleying and smashing to his heart's delight until the match was won. Score: Wilkinson and Slowe vs. Kemp and Rae. 6-6, 6-6. He was presented by Dr. H. McCard, president of the American Tennis Association, and the Rev. Martin made an address. The New York Tennis Association gave a dinner Saturday evening at the Libya to the visiting tennis players, and there were over fifty guests present. Many were the expressions of appreciation and congratulations over the success of the tournament, and the announcement that the championships were to be held in New York in 1920 was heartily greeted by all present. Every one voted the "magnolia flor nament ever held by colored people ful conclusion last Saturday after- tic audience of nearly one thousand United States was represented in the competitors, and the winners can be ense of the word. ideal place for such an important event, and if left to the visitors, it would become a permanent fixture for all future national championships.

"BOB" NELSON SAYS CUBA IS WIDE OPEN The following letter, dated Havana, Aug. 21, has been received from R. M. R. Nelson, who was connected with The Age about twenty years ago, as city editor: "Dramatic Editor of The Age: If you know any young cabinet or sporting man that it may interest, please tell them that by Presidential decree Cuba is NOW WIDE OPEN-for everything desired by sporting people. This is an opportunity for those who have found their business prospects retarded in the United States. Cuba is ninety miles from Lynchland! In Cuba a man's color is no. bar sinister. Every bar room in Cuba is as open as a baby's smile, and the whole family goes there for refreshments." ASSOCIATION GETS CUP.

The presentation speech was made by Leut. Kemp and the cup was received on behalf of the Association by Harold Parker. Portile of Greatness.

Pendling made a speech at a Kofl. garrison given for at the Holt School in London at the time of the victory parade there, he proclaimed against the orchestra members given to the orchestra and for Kofl. "The Alarm Band" and similar masterpieces. The General later explained that he favored ragtime because of the orchestra it inspired among troops and that it had a direct bearing in keeping up their morale and winning victories. DANCING MASTERS SAY "SHIMMIE" MUST At the second annual convention of the American National Association of Masters of Dancing, which convened at the Hotel Astor, this week, the outlook was that the "shimme-sha-wabble" and kindred dances would be placed on the outlaw list. So strong is the opposition of the professionals to the river, shake and wabble movements that a vigilance committee, has been formed to draw up a code of rules and charts to determine what is within the bounds of the legitimate and what is not. But the consensus of terpsichorean opinion is that the "shimme" must go. SALEM CRESENT TIED FOR THIRD IN BIG GAMES The Salem Crescent A. C. tied the Millrose A. A. for third place in the annual senior track and field championships of the Metropolitan Association on Perishing Field, Jersey City, last Saturday afternoon. The New York A. C. won twelve of the nineteen titles at stake, rolling up the remarkable total of 26 points out a possible 20. The New York C. outscored its nearest competitor, Loughlin Lyceum of Brooklyn, 10 to 1. Loughlin Lyceum bagged 12 points, one more point than the the Salem Crescent A. C. and the Millrose A. A., which tied for third place with 11 points each. In the sprints the New York A. C. uncovered a youngster whom many of the experts think has a rosy athletic future. He is J. R. Patterson, the Port Jervis High School boy. Patterson only was beaten a scant hand's breadth by Pete White, of the Salem Crescent, in the 100-yard dash, and turned the tables on the colored speed marvel in the 220-yard dash, winning out by a cannon ball sprint in the last twenty yards. Patterton was far along in the good time of 22-2-5 seconds. Besides finishing first in the 100-yard dash and second in the 220-yard, the Salem Crescent scored second in the 800-yard run with Sandy Evans. ROYAL GIANTS LOSE DOUBLE HEADER.

In the last two games of their eastern tour 'Rube Foster's American Giants of Chicago Sunday defended Guy Empire's Treat 'Em Rough at Dyckman Oval by scores of 2 to 1 and 7 to 1. Seldom has such a crowd as attended Sunday's double header been seen at a local semi-pro attraction. The stands were filled to overflowing and the majority of the Jans were supporters of the Chicagoans. The crowd boomed, good game in the first. JJ the local mob Perritt and Jimmy Clinton held the visitors to ten hits, while the locals gathered sixteen, but the Chicagoans' hits were more timely. The scores: The Next Best Thing. "Is he clawer?" "I don't know. All I do know is that he has a way of making people think he is clawer."—Dennis Free Press. LABOR DAY IN "EYES OF YOUTH" The following Thursday will open in regular time on next Monday in one of Broadway's biggest successes, "Eyes of Youth," which will be presented by the popular Lafayette Stock Company, headed by Miss Abbie Mitchell and supported by an all-star cast, including Lawrence Chemuk, J.

Gray, Henry Pleasant; Henry A. Colwell and a dozen or more promising children living in Harlem. The production will be one of the most sensational of its kind ever put on at the Lafayette, and will include a revolving stage, a novelty which has never been introduced to Harlem theatregoers. Even the "Youth" is three acts and repondent to the business grip the audience and hold the attention of the most exciting. In "On Trial" the hands of time turned backward, and one saw enacted the scenes of a woman's past as they were recalled by witnesses in court. In "Eyes of Youth," thanks to a yogi and his crystal, the process is reversed. The heroine sees not, indeed, her future; but three or four possible futures with which the first act confronts her, and at the last curtain, by means of a simple problem in subtraction, elects the fourth, which nobody sees, but which others HOMESTEAD GIANTS TAKE BRIER Hot Springs, Va.—On Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday the Homestead Giants played rings around the Cowington Reds.

Calvary Baptist Church, has left for a short stay with relatives in Virginia and North Carolina. Mrs. Josephine Duddy has returned from a pleasant stay with her sister at Worcester, Mum. In the parts of the play which are composed to be real life, Miss Mitchell is a young girl whose father's circumstances force her to choose between the three seniors and two possible careers. In the three acts there are four episodes which present the visions seen in a prophetic trance induced by the kind yogi's crystal. Miss Mitchell is first a school teacher, sweet and patient with her unruly children, yet a rather pathetic failure, dismissed by the school board; and abandoned by the young cad who had pleased that it was her duty to wait until he could marry her. Then, in a strongly contrasting scene, she is a successful opera singer in Paris, victim of the impressario, who had promised to protect her, and abandoned to the worst manners and morals ever attributed to an opera singer. The two final episodes show the result of a marriage for money. They are the court scene in which she is depicted in a pathetic fixture and in front of Rector's, in which she is an unfortunate victim of dope, who is rescued by the joint efforts of a detective and one true lover. The children engaged, to appear in the production are Allan Brantley, Charles Ray, Clifford Mason, John Moseley, Tommy Moseley, Earl Brantley, Elaine, Cook, Florence Parkham, Ruth Cotton, Ivy Madden, Ruby Madden and Margaret McRay.

Conditions of the working girl must it seem necessary to locate in south-west Washington where the majority of this play mask their homes. A building at Four and Hald street and Mary had paused, S. W., with two rooms for club meetings and three dormitory rooms were rented and furnished. A strong Christian woman who had not had any special training for the work was matrimony, house secretary, janitor and mother all in one. Not only were girls' clubs and mothers' meeting conducted, but so many boys who needed organized help came to the home that a boy's club was part of the first year's work. These were such poor home conditions for study that the reading room was used as a public study hall. The work of the pewing classes was largely that of making over castoff clothing for needy children. One branch of the work from the beginning was giving aid to girls and women coming North from the South in search of employment. An agent was kept at the railroad station to meet and direct them. Before summer camps for poorer children were maintained by the city the Y. W. C. A. gave boat trips down the Potomac River to the mothers and children unable to take such outings. The need for larger quarters and the call for work to include all girls of all sections of the city resulted in the purchase of 429 T street, N. W., where there were two large rooms for club work and meetings, a kitchen and several dormitory rooms. Here, twelve girls could be housed, there having been as many as nineteen at one time. There were opened classes in Bible study, mission study, music, history, social service, basketball, folk dancing, sewing, reading and mothers' clubs. Rendered Service During the War. During the period of the war the T street W. W. C. A. assisted in Rod Cross work, food conservation work, employment work of the Department of Labor in housing the large number of women coming to Washington to work for the Government and in domestic service. In November, 1917, the facilities and finances of the T street W. W. C. A. being inadequate for the enlarged work and demands due to war conditions, an appeal for aid was made to the War Work Council, and Mrs. Cordella Winn was sent to investigate conditions. Mrs. Robt. L. Dickinson of the War Work Council being in Washington, became interested in the T street work and assisted materially in putting the association in touch with the council. The War Work Council decided that a new, larger and modern building was necessary, and $200,000 was appropriated for the purchase of a plot of ground and the greedion of a building. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter was sent to help organize and hold the interest of the association for the work of the new building. Two recreational centers have been opened by Miss Carter, one in the northwest section and the other in the northeast, where clubs meet and classes in stenography, typewriting, French, Spanish, dressmaking and china painting were added.
